• 00:04 WITH DR. JEFFREY SEIF AND SANDRA LEVITT
• 00:10 SHE SHALL BE CALLED WOMAN.
• 00:13 I CAME FORTH FROM A MAN...
• 00:15 BUT I FOUND FAVOR WITH HIM...
• 00:17 AND TRUE SUCCESS IS NOT MEASURED IN WEALTH AND POWER BUT IN THE ESTATE IN ONE'S HEART...
• 00:22 I'VE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER AND MORE FULFILLED...
• 00:28 I RAISED HIM UP STRICTLY IN THE FAITH AND THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS...
• 00:30 AND NOW I WANT TO GIVE SOMETHING BACK...
• 00:32 I BELIEVE ELOHIM MEANT IT TO BE THIS WAY...
• 00:34 SHE'S STILL A CORNERSTONE OF WISDOM TO THE FAMILY...
• 00:37 BUT YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART...
• 00:59 THE TRADING HAS BECOME PROFITABLE
• 01:01 AND THE HARVEST HAS YIELDED GOOD CROP.
• 01:03 ALL OF THIS WILL SURELY BENEFIT MY FAMILY.
• 01:09 I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE ON THOSE EXTRA TASKS
• 01:11 WITHOUT THE LOVING SUPPORT OF MY HUSBAND.
• 01:14 HE HAS GIVEN ME EVERYTHING I'VE NEEDED AND MORE.
• 01:17 AND NOW I WANT TO GIVE SOMETHING BACK.
• 01:19 IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE NEEDED.
• 01:22 TO KNOW MY CONTRIBUTIONS MATTER.
• 01:24 AS BUSY AS I AM, I'VE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER AND MORE FULFILLED.
• 01:29 MY WORKERS HAVE DONE WELL AND ARE WORTH THEIR HIRE AND MORE.
• 01:33 AS I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH INCREASE SO I WOULD LIKE TO BLESS THEM AS WELL.
• 01:41 A HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
• 01:42 JEFFREY SEIF HERE
• 01:43 WITH MY FRIEND SANDRA LEVITT.
• 01:44 SHALOM
• 01:45 WELCOME BACK TO THE WOMEN'S SERIES.
• 01:46 THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE WOMEN,
• 01:48 THE PROVERBS 31 WOMAN.
• 01:49 ONE OF MY FAVORITES.
• 01:51 SHE'S A COMPETENT SORT TOO, IS SHE NOT?
• 01:53 SHE REALLY IS
• 01:54 AND I LOVE THE DRAMA SHOWING THE WOMAN WORKING
• 01:57 AND DOING THINGS
• 01:58 AND BEING NOT IDLE,
• 01:59 BEING PRODUCTIVE.
• 02:00 IT'S A WONDERFUL BLUEPRINT FOR WOMAN.
• 02:02 SHE'S ENTREPRENEURIAL, SHE'S ENGAGED, >>RIGHT
• 02:05 SHE'S PRO-ACTIVE.
• 02:06 HER CHILDREN LOVE HER,
• 02:08 HER HUSBAND PRAISES HER.
• 02:09 SHE IS AN IDEAL WOMAN.
• 02:11 YOUR TEACHING ON IT IS TERRIFIC.
• 02:13 YOU'RE KIND. A GREAT MODEL THIS WOMEN IS, CORRECT?
• 02:15 SHE REALLY IS.
• 02:16 LET'S GO AND WATCH JEFF
• 02:18 AS HE TEACHES ON THE PROVERBS 31 WOMAN.
• 02:23 IN THE MODERN WORLD MEN LEAVE HOME TO GO ATTEND TO LIFE.
• 02:29 BUT TWAS NOT THE CASE IN THE ANCIENT WORLD WHEN SO MUCH OF LIFE CENTERED AROUND THE HOME.
• 02:35 IN THE MODERN WORLD THE CHILDREN GO OFF AND LEARN ABOUT LIFE IN SCHOOL
• 02:41 AND THE MEN GO OFF AND ATTEND A LIFE AT WORK.
• 02:44 BUT IN THE ANCIENT WORLD THE HOME WAS THE CENTER OF EDUCATION,
• 02:48 THE HOME WAS THE CENTER OF WHERE THE MAN WORKED AND THE WOMAN WAS THE HEAD OF THE HOME.
• 02:55 WHAT A HOME THIS WAS IN ANCIENT ISRAEL.
• 02:57 MANY ATTENDED TO AGRICULTURAL CONCERNS.
• 03:01 BUT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT THIS WOMAN HAS A SMALL BUSINESS GOING.
• 03:06 SHE'S A HABERDASHER, A SELLER OF FINE CLOTHING.
• 03:10 GOODNESS, WHEN I THINK OF WHAT'S INVOLVED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE CLOTHING,
• 03:13 TO COME UP WITH THE DYES AND THEN TO SPIN THE FABRICS
• 03:16 AND THEN TO CUT THEM AND TAILOR THEM INTO CLOTHING,
• 03:19 ITS QUITE AN OPERATION SHE'S GOT GOING.
• 03:23 IN PROVERBS CHAPTER 31 THE AUTHOR THERE SAYS,
• 03:27 A GOOD WOMAN IS WORTH MORE THAN MONEY IN PART BECAUSE SHE MAKES MONEY.
• 03:30 SHE DOESN'T JUST MAKE MONEY, SHE MAKES LIFE.
• 03:33 SHE'S THE LAMP OF THE FAMILY IF YOU WILL BECAUSE SO MUCH REVOLVES AROUND HER.
• 03:39 THE VISION IN ANCIENT ISRAEL FOR A WOMAN WASN'T TO BE SOME LOVE SLAVE
• 03:43 SIMPLY TO SATISFY THE PLEASURES OF THE MALES OF THE SPECIES
• 03:47 WHO AFTER FINISHING WITH HER JUST GOES ON IN LIFE AND FINDS OTHER CONQUESTS.
• 03:52 NO, THE VISION WAS THAT THE WOMAN WOULD BE SO CENTRAL IN THE SUCCESS OF LIFE,
• 03:57 SUCCESS FOR THE MALES OF THE SPECIES.
• 04:00 THIS IS EVIDENCED IN PART BY THE TESTIMONY OF SOMEONE WHO DIDN'T DO SO GOOD TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
• 04:05 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 04:07 SOLOMON, THE KING OF ISRAEL, BEGAN HIS LIFE SEEKING GOD
• 04:11 AND GETTING WISDOM AND HE ENDED HIS LIFE RETURNING TO GOD.
• 04:15 BUT HIS MIND LEFT HIM SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE AT ONE LEVEL.
• 04:18 HERE WE HAVE SOME CLOSING COMMENTS IN PROVERBS
• 04:21 WHICH IS A TESTIMONY TO THE WISDOM THAT HE'D ACCRUED OVER TIME AND STARTS OFF...
• 04:25 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 04:30 NOW THERE WAS NO KING IN ANCIENT ISRAEL BY THAT NAME.
• 04:33 HERE, ARGUABLY, ITS ANOTHER NAME FOR SOLOMON.
• 04:36 "Lem" MEANS "TOWARD".
• 04:38 "L" AS A SUFFIX MEANS "GOD".
• 04:41 THE WORDS OF A KING WHO'S INCLINING HIMSELF TOWARD GOD.
• 04:44 SOLOMON BEGAN LIKE THIS AND HE ENDED LIKE THIS.
• 04:47 HERE HE HARKS BACK TO SOMETHING HIS MOTHER TAUGHT HIM.
• 04:50 I SAY THAT BECAUSE THE VERSE GOES ON..
• 04:53 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 05:00 THIS ISN'T JUST HIS OWN WISDOM BUT HE'S PARROTING THAT WHICH HIS MOTHER GAVE TO HIM.
• 05:05 AND WHAT DID SHE TELL HIM?
• 05:06 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 05:12 THE ISSUE HERE ISN'T "TO LOVE A WOMAN"
• 05:15 BUT RATHER DON'T GO AFTER LOOSE WOMEN.
• 05:17 DON'T GO AFTER LOOSE LIVING.
• 05:19 FIND A GOOD WOMAN, FIND A GOOD WIFE
• 05:22 BECAUSE SHE'LL DO YOU GOOD ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE.
• 05:25 WE'LL ATTEND TO THIS STORY AS WE CONTINUE.

• 05:56 PLEASE CONTRACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION.
• 06:01 DIFFERENT MEN DEFINE SUCCESS DIFFERENTLY.
• 06:05 SOME BELIEVE THAT LIFE IS ABOUT THE ACQUISITION OF TOYS.
• 06:09 THERE'S AN OLD SAYING
• 06:10 "THAT THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MEN AND BOYS IS THE PRICE OF THEIR TOYS."
• 06:14 AND THAT MEANS ACQUIRING MATERIAL GOODS.
• 06:16 THAT MEANS ACQUIRING WOMEN.
• 06:19 BUT SOME COME TO TERMS WITH THE FACT THAT THERE'S NO WAY TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE
• 06:23 IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SUCCESSOR.
• 06:26 AND WHEN VALUE IS PLACED ON SUCCESSORS
• 06:30 THEN VALUE IS REFOCUSED ON THE HOME
• 06:32 AND THEN WHEN VALUE IS FOCUSED ON THIS HOME THERE'S NO WAY TO COME TO TERMS WITH IT
• 06:38 WITHOUT REALIZING THE INESTIMABLE VALUE OF A WOMAN.
• 06:43 I BELIEVE THAT SOLOMON CAME TO TERMS WITH THIS.
• 06:45 IN FACT HE IS ON RECORD AT THE END OF HIS LIFE...
• 06:49 YOU KNOW HIS STORY.
• 06:50 HE SQUANDERED SO MUCH OF HIS LIFE PURSUING WOMEN AND THIS AND THAT.
• 06:54 BUT EVENTUALLY HE SOBERS UP.
• 06:56 PROVERBS 31 IS A TESTIMONY TO HIS SOBRIETY
• 06:59 AS HE FROM HIS WISDOM SHARES THE ESSENCE OF SUCCESS IN LIFE IN A CERTAIN RESPECT FOR A MALE.
• 07:06 AND IN THE PROCESS OF SO DOING HE THEN EXTOLS THE VIRTUE OF A WOMAN.
• 07:11 IN PROVERBS 31 WE COME UPON AN ACROSTIC TESTAMENT.
• 07:16 IT'S A POEM TO THAT EFFECT AND I WANT TO SHARE SOME OF IT WITH YOU.
• 07:20 BEGINNING IN VERSE 10 HE SAYS IN HEBREW...
• 07:22 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 07:30 ITS NOT THAT SHE WAS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND AS MUCH AS IT IS THAT HE WAS SAYING,
• 07:35 "GENTLEMEN, WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS FIND SOMEONE JUST LIKE THIS."
• 07:38 AND HE TALKS ABOUT THE CHARACTER THAT SHE POSSESSES,
• 07:41 VARIOUS CHARACTERISTICS THEN UNFOLD IN THE LITERATURE.
• 07:44 TEXT SAYS THAT SHE'S WORTH MORE TO HIM THAN RUBIES.
• 07:47 AND THAT'S TRUE IN PART BECAUSE WHAT SHE'S GOING TO DO IS
• 07:50 SHE'S GOING TO BRING WEALTH INTO THE HOUSE.
• 07:53 SHE DOESN'T JUST SPEND IT, SHE IS VALUABLE, SHE'S A WORKER, SHE'S ENTREPRENEURIAL
• 07:58 AND SHE CONTRIBUTES TO THE WAR EFFORT THAT WAY AND SO MANY OTHER ONES.
• 08:02 VERSE 11 WERE TOLD THAT THE HEART OF HER HUSBAND TRUSTS IN HER
• 08:06 AND THAT SHE WILL HAVE NO LACK OF GAIN.
• 08:08 I LOVE THE WORD FOR "GAIN" HERE IN PART
• 08:10 BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME WORD THAT'S USED IN THE HEBREW BIBLE FOR "PLUNDER".
• 08:16 WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT?
• 08:18 IN OLD TESTAMENT TIMES ISRAELITE MALES WILL BE CALLED UPON
• 08:22 TO DON HELMET AND SWORD AND SHIELD AND DEFEND HOME AND HEARTH, THEY GO OFF TO WAR.
• 08:27 AND IN THE PROCESS OF SO DOING
• 08:29 BY VIRTUE OF THEIR BEING SUCCESSFUL THEY WOULD ACQUIRE GOODS.
• 08:33 THEY WOULD COME UPON RESOURCES THAT WERE NOT THEIR OWN BUT WERE DEEMED THE SPOILS OF WAR.
• 08:40 WHEN THE TEXT HERE SAYS THAT SHE WILL BRING GAIN TO HIM
• 08:43 IT MEANS SHE BRINGS SPOILS OF WAR, THAT IS,
• 08:46 THAT SHE BRINGS INTO THE FAMILY SYSTEM TO THE MAN THAT WHICH HE IS UNABLE TO GET HIMSELF.
• 08:52 HE DIDN'T EARN IT HIMSELF BUT IT JUST COMES AS A TESTIMONY TO WHAT SHE'S ALL ABOUT.
• 08:56 WELL, WE GO ON IN VERSE 16, WE'RE TOLD THAT SHE CONSIDERS A FIELD AND BUYS IT.
• 09:02 AND THIS GIVES RISE TO THE FACT THAT THIS WOMAN IS A WOMAN WHO IS EMPOWERED TO MAKE DECISIONS.
• 09:08 SHE HAS "Chacham".
• 09:10 SHE HAS "SMARTS".
• 09:12 SHE'S NOT JUST THE LOVE SLAVE.
• 09:13 SHE DOESN'T JUST SHEEPISHLY AND DOCILELY FOLLOW THE ORDERS THAT HER HUSBAND BARKS OUT
• 09:19 BUT SHE'S A WOMAN OF MEANS, SHE'S A WOMAN OF UNDERSTANDING
• 09:22 AND SHE'S EMPOWERED WITHIN THE FAMILY IN ORDER TO MAKE FAMILY DECISIONS
• 09:27 AND SO SHE INVESTS HER ENERGIES AND SHE BRINGS WEALTH INTO THE FAMILY.
• 09:31 AND NOT ONLY THAT, IN VERSE 21 WE'RE TOLD THAT SHE EXTENDS HERSELF TO THE POOR,
• 09:35 THAT SHE'S JUST NOT ALL ABOUT HERSELF.
• 09:38 SHE'S SUCCESSFUL, SHE ACQUIRES
• 09:40 AND THUS SHE HAS RESOURCE TO HELP THOSE LESS FORTUNATE THAN HER.
• 09:45 SAYS ELSEWHERE THAT SHE LOOKS AT THE TIME TO COME WITHOUT FEAR.
• 09:49 IT'S BECAUSE OF WHO SHE IS AND HOW SHE TAKES CARE OF HER BUSINESS.
• 09:52 SHE HAS STABILITY AND SECURITY AND IS ABLE TO THEN BE MORE KINDLY DISPOSED TOWARD OTHERS.
• 09:58 WE'RE TOLD IN VERSE 23 THAT HER HUSBAND IS NOTED IN THE GATE.
• 10:03 THE GATE OF COURSE IS WHERE THE MEN WOULD MEET THE ELDERS.
• 10:07 AND THE REASON HE'S NOTICED ACCORDING TO ROSHEI..
• 10:10 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 10:12 1040 A.D. to 1105 A.D. WAS A FAMOUS JEWISH SAGE
• 10:17 AND HE OPINED THAT THE REASON WHY HE WAS KNOWN IN THE GATES IS BECAUSE HE WAS SO WELL DRESSED.
• 10:23 AND THE REASON WHY HE WAS SO WELL DRESSED IS BECAUSE HIS WIFE TOOK CARE OF HIM SO WELL.
• 10:28 AGAIN YOU HAVE A GOOD WIFE HERE AND SHE TAKES CARE OF YOU.
• 10:31 SOME HAVE MISTAKENLY SAID THAT A DOG IS A MAN'S BEST FRIEND.
• 10:34 I THINK NOT.
• 10:37 IF A MAN WILL TREAT A WOMAN RIGHT A WOMAN WILL BE LOYAL TO A MAN.
• 10:41 AND HERE THIS MAN STANDS OUT BY VIRTUE OF HER ATTENTIONS.
• 10:45 THE TEXT GOES ON AND IT CLOSES ON A BEAUTIFUL NOTE.
• 10:50 IN VERSE 30...
• 10:51 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 11:01 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 11:10 SHE RESPECTS THE LORD, SHE REVERENCES HIM,
• 11:13 SHE WALKS UNDER HIS GUIDANCE AND CARE AND BY VIRTUE OF SO DOING THIS IS A WOMAN OF GREAT VALUE.
• 11:21 AND I LOVE THE WAY THE TEXT CLOSES.
• 11:23 HE SAYS IN VERSE 31,
• 11:26 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 11:32 HEY, LISTEN WE DO WELL TO FIND A WOMAN LIKE THIS AND GIVE HER THE CREDIT SHE DESERVES.
• 11:39 BECAUSE A WOMAN LIKE THIS MOVES THE WORLD AND HELPS A MAN TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS LIFE.
• 11:49 MY WIFE PATTY AND I HAVE TEENAGE BOYS
• 11:51 AND WE'RE HOPING AND PRAYING
• 11:53 THAT THEY FIND A WOMAN JUST LIKE THIS.
• 11:55 THAT'S A REALLY GOOD POINT.
• 11:57 I HAVE A SON ALSO.
• 11:59 NOT MARRIED YET, BUT IT IS MY PRAYER.
• 12:01 AND I'VE TOLD HIM EVERY DAY I'VE PRAYED FOR HIS WIFE EVERY SINGLE DAY.
• 12:04 AND THESE ARE SOME OF THE ATTRIBUTES THAT I WOULD LOVE
• 12:07 FOR HIM TO FIND IN A WIFE.
• 12:09 WHAT CHARACTERISTICS ARE PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TO YOU?
• 12:14 THIS IS REALLY FUNNY. I LOVE PROVERBS CHAPTER 31, VERSE 30.
• 12:18 FAVOR IS DECEITFUL AND BEAUTY IS VAIN BUT A WOMAN THAT FEARETH THE LORD SHE SHALL BE PRAISED.
• 12:23 THAT SHE'S PRAISED BY HER FAMILY,
• 12:26 THAT SHE'S PRAISED BY HER CHILDREN, I THINK THERE IS NO HIGHER COMPLIMENT.
• 12:30 DO YOU THINK THAT WOMEN CAN BE OVER INVESTED IN BEAUTY?
• 12:33 I DO, I REALLY DO.
• 12:34 I THINK THAT BEAUTY SHOULD BE ON THE INSIDE.
• 12:36 I MEAN THAT IS SOMETHING.
• 12:38 IT CREATES THAT INITIAL ATTRACTION AND INTEREST. >>RIGHT.RIGHT.
• 12:42 BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY THAT DOESN'T HOLD.
• 12:43 NO IT DOESN'T.
• 12:45 YOU TAKE THE MAKEUP OFF AT NIGHT AND THEN WHO'S LEFT IS WHO'S LEFT.
• 12:48 SO YOU WANT YOUR INSIDES TO BE AS PRETTY AS THE OUTSIDE.
• 12:51 RIGHT AND THERE'S SOME ACTIVITY IN THIS TEXT
• 12:54 THAT REALLY PORTRAYS A GOOD INSIGHT INSIDE. >>RIGHT
• 12:56 BUT SHE WORKS, SHE'S NOT IDLE, SHE MAKES A SCARLET RIBBON AND THREADS FOR HER CHILDREN
• 13:04 SO WHEN IT SNOWS THAT THEY CAN FIND THEM.
• 13:07 SHE THINKS ALL THE TIME, NOT STUPID, VERY BRIGHT, VERY INDUSTRIOUS.
• 13:13 SHE MAKES CLOTHES, SHE BUYS A FIELD AND SELLS IT.
• 13:18 DO THINK WOMEN ARE HELD BACK SOMETIMES FROM BEING ABLE TO BE ENGAGED LIKE THIS
• 13:22 TO ATTEND TO THIS BUSINESS FOR THE FAMILY?
• 13:24 I DON'T, I REALLY DON'T.
• 13:26 I THINK GOD USES EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE.
• 13:28 I DON'T THINK WOMEN ARE HELD BACK, I REALLY DON'T.
• 13:30 I THINK WE HAVE OUR POSITIONS,
• 13:32 AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE.
• 13:34 DO WE HOLD OURSELVES BACK SOMETIMES
• 13:35 THINKING THAT WE JUST NEED TO BE NICE AND SWEET AND POLITE. >>YES, YES
• 13:38 THIS WOMAN HERE IS THAT BUT SHE'S MORE THAN THAT.
• 13:41 SHE GIVES TO THE NEEDY,
• 13:42 SHE MAKES SURE THEY'RE TAKEN CARE OF
• 13:44 BUT SHE HAS TO BE PRETTY SHARP TO BUY A FIELD AND SELL IT.
• 13:48 RIGHT
• 13:50 SO SHE'S NOT SOMEBODY THAT YOU'RE GOING TO ROLL OVER ON.
• 13:52 NOW, THE IMAGE OF THIS COMPETENT, ENGAGED WOMAN
• 13:55 REALLY RESONATES WITH YOU DOESN'T IT?
• 13:57 WHY?
• 13:58 BECAUSE IT'S A POSITIVE,
• 13:59 IT'S NOT A NEGATIVE
• 14:00 AND I THINK IN A WORLD WHEN I WAS RAISED....
• 14:01 I WAS RAISED IN THE 60'S
• 14:03 AND IT WAS A TIME OF FEMINISM,
• 14:05 IT WAS A TIME THAT WOMEN WERE DEGRADED I FELT LIKE,
• 14:08 NEVER REALLY UPLIFTED.
• 14:10 AND THIS REALLY IF WE GO BACK TO THE WORD
• 14:13 WOMEN ARE LIFTED UP.
• 14:15 THIS IS A WONDERFUL PICTURE OF A WOMAN.
• 14:17 ITS NOT SOMETHING TO BE ASHAMED OF
• 14:18 TO BE AT HOME OR TO BE SMART OR TO BE INDUSTRIOUS,
• 14:23 IT'S NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF AND YET
• 14:25 THE MESSAGE THAT I THINK WE'VE GOTTEN
• 14:27 FOR SO LONG FROM THESE FEMINISTS
• 14:30 IS THAT WE ARE TO BE ASHAMED.
• 14:31 YES
• 14:32 NOW THERE'S AN INTERVIEW COMING UP
• 14:34 WITH A WOMAN WHO'S A PROVERBS 31 MOTHERLY SORT
• 14:37 WHO'S REALLY ENGAGED IN THE HOME, CORRECT?
• 14:39 SHE IS AND IT WAS FUN BECAUSE WE GOT TO COOK.
• 14:41 WE GOT TO MAKE SOUP... >>FUN FOR YOU.
• 14:43 I WAS A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THAT.
• 14:45 IT WAS FUNNY BUT WE GOT TO MAKE SOUP
• 14:46 AND MARGO WAS KIND ENOUGH JEFF TO HAVE US IN TO HER HOME.
• 14:50 SHE SHOWED US HOW TO MAKE THE SOUP.

• 15:25 IN SMALL PIECES AS YOU CAN. >>YOU'RE THE BOSS.
• 15:28 OKAY >>THIS IS NEW FOR JEFF.
• 15:30 JEFF DOESN'T NORMALLY COOK.
• 15:31 ALRIGHT.
• 15:35 HERE, THIS HAS TO BE WELL BEATEN. >>RIGHT

• 16:00 AND WHEN ITS NICE AND THICK
• 16:01 THAT'S WHEN WE FORM THE BALLS

• 16:58 AND HERE ARE THE EXAMPLES.
• 16:59 OH, THEY'RE WONDERFUL.

• 17:09 TRUE, WE ARE VERY PROUD OF IT.

• 19:15 YOU'RE DOING A GOOD JOB THERE, LOOK AT THAT!
• 19:17 ITS ALL IN THE WRIST.
• 19:18 YES >>ITS ALL IN THE WRIST.
• 19:20 JUST KEEP WETTING YOUR HANDS
• 19:21 SO THEY STAY NICE AND WET,
• 19:22 OKAY
• 19:23 OTHERWISE IT REALLY IS NOT VERY PLEASANT.
• 19:26 OKAY
• 19:27 THAT'S IT, WE'RE DONE.
• 19:28 NOW WE TAKE THIS TO THE SOUP. >>GREAT!
• 19:30 AND WE'RE GOING TO LOAD THEM INTO THE SOUP,
• 19:32 OKAY?
• 19:38 AND NOW THEY ARE GOING RIGHT IN HERE.
• 19:49 AND THAT'S NICE AND BUBBLY.
• 19:58 AND THAT'S IT,
• 19:59 OUR VEGETABLE HOLIDAY SOUP.
• 20:00 TERRIFIC!
• 20:11 THAT WAS MARGO.
• 20:13 WE'RE IN ISRAEL MAKING SOUP, COOKING,
• 20:16 HER GRAND DAUGHTER IS WITH US,
• 20:18 IT WAS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE
• 20:20 TO SEE A HOME
• 20:21 AND TO SEE THE LADY TAKING CARE OF HER FAMILY.
• 20:24 YES, AND I ONLY HOPE MY WIFE DOESN'T WATCH IT
• 20:26 TO SEE ME WORKING IN THE KITCHEN.
• 20:27 YEAH, RIGHT, CUTTING THOSE CARROTS,
• 20:29 THAT WAS REALLY A HARD THING FOR YOU TO DO. (Laughing)
• 20:30 SHE MIGHT GET THE WRONG IDEA.
• 20:32 NO, MARGO WAS LOVELY.
• 20:33 AND I LIKE THAT MARGO WAS CONSCIOUS OF WHAT SHE WAS
• 20:38 PUTTING IN THE SOUP, NOT EXPENSIVE,
• 20:40 BUT BY THE TIME SHE GOT THROUGH WITH IT ALL
• 20:42 IT WAS A DELICIOUS...
• 20:43 WE TASTED IT, IT WAS REALLY GOOD!
• 20:45 IT REMINDED ME HOW ATTENDING TO A HOME
• 20:48 IS LIKE RUNNING A SMALL BUSINESS.
• 20:49 ABSOLUTELY!
• 20:51 YOU NOW A LOT OF GUYS LOSE SIGHT OF THAT TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH
• 20:53 AND DON'T APPRECIATE ALL THAT A WOMAN DOES
• 20:55 THAT'S RIGHT.
• 20:56 TO TEND THE HOME, THE FOOD, THE CHILDREN,
• 20:58 ITS REALLY QUITE A LOT.
• 21:00 WE SAT AND WE CHOPPED AND I WAS THINKING AS WE'RE DOING THIS,
• 21:03 THIS IS JUST A CARROT,
• 21:05 THIS IS JUST LEEKS,
• 21:07 THIS IS JUST THIS...
• 21:09 BUT WHEN SHE GOT ALL THROUGH WITH IT, IT WAS JUST VERY, VERY GOOD.
• 21:12 RIGHT, THE COMBINATION OF ELEMENTS, >>RIGHT
• 21:14 IT REALLY WAS VERY, VERY TASTY.
• 21:16 BUT IT TAKES SOME THINKING TO DO THAT, ITS NOT SOMETHING THAT JUST HAPPENS OVERNIGHT,
• 21:20 SO I THINK SHE WAS A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE OF A HOME MANAGER.
• 21:24 YES, AND OF COURSE, PROVERBS 31,
• 21:26 SHE COOKS, SHE WORKS, SHE MANAGES PEOPLE,
• 21:28 SHE MANAGES ASSETS,
• 21:31 QUITE AN INDUSTRIOUS WOMAN.
• 21:33 WELL YOU KNOW THE INTERESTING THING WHEN WE'RE IN ISRAEL ON SHABBAT,
• 21:36 PROVERBS 31 WOMAN IS SOMETHING THAT'S READ ON SHABBAT.
• 21:40 THE HUSBANDS READ IT TO THE WIVES
• 21:42 IN HONOR OF THEM. >>YES
• 21:44 AND I THINK THAT'S SO SWEET.
• 21:45 AND IN HONOR OF THE WIVES, SPEAKING OF THE HUSBANDS,
• 21:48 LET ME JUST SAY, I BELIEVE WE WOULD DO WELL TO LET THE WOMEN BE THIS WAY,
• 21:53 TO ENCOURAGE OUR WIFE, TO LET HER GO, TO LET HER LOOSE.
• 21:57 WE'LL ONLY BENEFIT CORRECT?
• 22:00 ABSOLUTELY, HOW CREATIVE CAN WOMEN BE
• 22:02 WHEN YOU GIVE THEM THE PARAMETERS?
• 22:04 TERRIFIC!
• 22:05 WE'LL BE BACK AFTER THIS.
• 22:11 SOMETIMES THE JOURNEY TO YERUSHALAYIM CAN BE A LONG ONE.
• 22:17 ABRAHAM JOURNEYED FOR 62 YEARS FROM UR
• 22:21 AND THEN OFFERED HIS SON ISAAC AS A SACRIFICE TO GOD ATOP OF MOUNT MORIAH.
• 22:27 THE ARK OF THE COVENANT JOURNEYED FOR 500 HUNDRED YEARS
• 22:31 UNTIL IT FOUND ITS FINAL RESTING PLACE IN KING SOLOMON'S TEMPLE ATOP THE VERY SAME MOUNT.
• 22:37 OUR JOURNEY TO YERUSHALAYIM IS ONLY COMPLETE
• 22:40 WHEN WE CAN FINALLY CAST OUR EYES UPON GOD'S HOLY MOUNTAIN.
• 22:44 THIS WILL BE A JOURNEY WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
• 22:49 WHEN YOUR FEET TOUCH THIS HOLY GROUND,
• 22:52 YOU WILL KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
• 23:01 FOR YOUR FREE BROCHURE ON OUR NEXT TOUR TO ISRAEL CALL...
• 23:23 ♪(Zola playing recorder)♪
• 24:42 WELL, THERE'S ZOLA ON THE HOLY DAYS
• 24:44 AND HERE ARE SANDRA AND I ARE TALKING ABOUT HOLY MATRIMONY
• 24:47 AND LOOKING AT A CHARACTERISTIC OF A WOMAN AT WORK.
• 24:51 I WANT TO MAKE ONE POINT HERE BEFORE WE GIVE A WRAP ON THIS
• 24:54 AND THAT IS THAT I BELIEVE THAT WE MALES OF THE SPECIES WOULD DO WELL
• 24:59 TO GIVE OUR WIVES CERTAIN CONTROL AND POWER TO BE ABLE TO WORK, TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM.
• 25:06 THIS WOMAN, THIS PROVERBS 31 WOMAN HAD A MAN WHO WAS CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO LET HER GO
• 25:12 AND NOT FEEL OFFENDED OR INTIMIDATED BY THAT.
• 25:15 AND I BELIEVE IT'S A SIGN OF STRENGTH IN THE MALE THAT THE MALE
• 25:18 CAN LET THE WOMAN BE FREE TO SERVE LIKE THIS.
• 25:21 BUT THE BIBLE ALSO TELLS US
• 25:23 THAT SHE WILL DO HIM GOOD AND NOT EVIL
• 25:26 ALL THE DAYS OF THEIR LIVES,
• 25:27 SO SHE WAS A PARTNER WITH HIM.
• 25:29 AND I THINK WE'VE SEEN IN EVE,
• 25:31 WE'VE SEEN WHAT A WIFE IS,
• 25:32 WE'VE SEEN IN HANNAH, A MOTHER, A NURTURING MOTHER,
• 25:35 AND THAT'S WHAT I'M LIKING WITH THESE WOMEN,
• 25:37 THEIR CHARACTERISTICS.
• 25:38 THIS PROVERBS 31 WOMAN ISN'T JUST ABOUT WOMEN,
• 25:43 ITS ABOUT BEING FOOLISH OR BEING WISE.
• 25:46 THAT APPLIES TO ALL OF US,
• 25:48 I REALLY THINK THAT.
• 25:49 YES, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WE DO WELL TO HAVE FOCUS AND ENGAGEMENT
• 25:52 AND THIS CONTRIBUTES TO HER BEING WISE.
• 25:54 FOLLY THEN IS TURNED INWARD.
• 25:56 BUT THIS WOMAN IS WISE BECAUSE SHE'S ENGAGED IN LIFE,
• 26:00 NOT JUST FEELING.
• 26:01 BUT LIFE IN THE LORD. RIGHT
• 26:03 NOT JUST AN IDLE LIFE BUT A REALLY WELL THOUGHT OUT LIFE IN THE LORD
• 26:08 AND I THINK THAT'S THE BIGGEST ENCOURAGEMENT FOR ME
• 26:12 IS THAT SHE REALLY LOVES THE LORD.
• 26:14 THERE'S THE OLD EXPRESSION,
• 26:15 "IDLE HANDS ARE THE DEVIL'S WORKSHOP."
• 26:17 "SHE WHO IS SELF INDULGENT IS DEAD EVEN WHILE SHE LIVES."
• 26:20 WE DO WELL TO BE OUTSIDE OF OURSELVES
• 26:22 IN THE REAL WORLD LIKE THIS WOMAN.
• 26:23 AND IT KEEPS US GROUNDED. THIS IS THE OTHER THING.
• 26:26 I THINK THIS WOMAN REALLY WILL KEEP US GROUNDED AS PEOPLE IN THE LORD
• 26:30 IF WE STAY WITH HIM AND IN THE LORD.
• 26:32 SO I APPRECIATE YOU WATCHING.
• 26:34 PLEASE STAY TUNED.
• 26:35 WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME INTERESTING WOMEN COMING UP.
• 26:38 AND AS YOU GO, "SHA' ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM"
• 26:40 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
