- 00:56 David: We're so glad you've joined us today
- 00:58 on "Zola Levitt Presents," I'm David Hart.
- 00:59 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart. Jeffrey Seif: Jeffrey Seif.
- 01:01 David: We are in our series "Warrior King,"
- 01:03 and I have to say, today's program is probably
- 01:06 one of my favorites because David is a musician.
- 01:11 Kirsten: As you are, David, a musician.
- 01:14 David: I don't play the harp, but I love this program today.
- 01:19 Jeffrey: Imagine a guy out there fighting battles by day,
- 01:21 and at night he's composing poetry.
- 01:24 David: Right, I wonder if he got teased
- 01:26 for playing the harp back in the day, you think?
- 01:28 Kirsten: Can you imagine that? Jeffrey: I don't know.
- 01:30 Kirsten: But it brings peace in the midst of storms
- 01:34 like it does for us today.
- 01:35 Jeffrey: It's an interesting combination inside of a man,
- 01:38 a warrior heart and a lover heart.
- 01:41 Kirsten: That's what we'll learn about today,
- 01:43 and we'll hear David playing his harp coming up in our dramatic
- 01:47 reenactment, and we also have more teaching
- 01:49 with Dr. Jeffrey Seif in Israel.
- 01:53 ♪♪♪
- 01:57 Saul: O music of the ten strings,
- 02:00 soothe my troubled soul.
- 02:06 Ah, evil spirit, the tune of David hath pursued me for now.
- 02:15 ♪♪♪
- 02:21 Jeffrey: Bible readers are informed that music has been
- 02:24 around since the dawn of creation.
- 02:28 In the Hebrew book Bereishit, Genesis, in the 4th chapter,
- 02:33 readers are informed that one of Cain's progeny,
- 02:37 a fellow named Jubal, was the father of those
- 02:40 who played the harp.
- 02:43 Not only were people into music at the beginning,
- 02:46 but even before the beginning of time,
- 02:49 according to the Hebrew Bible, music was around.
- 02:52 And why do I say that?
- 02:54 Well, I don't say that, Ezekiel is speaking of Satan,
- 02:59 this inherently evil personality.
- 03:03 Goes by the Latin epithet Lucifer,
- 03:05 or light-bearer, who deceives.
- 03:08 And we're told in chapter 28, verse 13 that he,
- 03:12 that this personality, was in Eden, the garden of God.
- 03:19 "Paradise" is a Latin word for enclosed garden,
- 03:23 and there he was, and from there he fell.
- 03:27 The reason why I mention that in conjunction with music is to say
- 03:30 that this same person, we're told was--
- 03:34 he came into his own in Ezekiel chapter 28:13.
- 03:38 He says, "The workmanship of timbrels and pipes was prepared
- 03:43 for him on the day that he was created."
- 03:47 Hence you have some correlation between this evil personality
- 03:51 and the manufacture and the development of music.
- 03:55 But as the old saying goes, why should the devil have
- 04:01 all the good music?
- 04:04 Enter David.
- 04:06 Actually, we see music before David.
- 04:08 Miriam, after Moshe Rabbenu, after Moses,
- 04:13 in Israel they make their way through the sea.
- 04:15 The waters part, we're told in the book Shemot, in Exodus,
- 04:19 that she comes out with tambourine.
- 04:21 We find primitive starbursts of praise accompanied
- 04:26 with musical instrumentation.
- 04:29 We then, as we make our way through the Hebrew Bible,
- 04:32 find that primitive music evolves and becomes more
- 04:37 formalized by the time we get to the book Tehillim, or Psalms.
- 04:41 The word "Psalms" comes from the word "Psalter."
- 04:44 They're cut from the same cloth.
- 04:46 It's a prayer book.
- 04:48 The Hebrew "Tehillim" means praises.
- 04:49 Actually it's not one book, it's five.
- 04:52 Inasmuch as you have the five books of Moses, you have five
- 04:55 books of worship in the Hebrew Bible.
- 04:58 And some of these worship songs come with what today are
- 05:02 anachronistic, hard to come to terms with, archaic expressions,
- 05:06 various forms of musical notations that reflect that in
- 05:10 antiquity we had Levitical choirs in the Old Testament
- 05:15 economy that were given to giving voice to biblical praise.
- 05:20 Because it was long observed that music enabled individuals
- 05:25 to rise above their vexing circumstances.
- 05:29 Music provided a mechanism to put prayer to song
- 05:34 with instrumentation.
- 05:36 It helps people to pray.
- 05:38 It helps people give expression to things they're thinking
- 05:41 and they're feeling.
- 05:43 It seems that the Lord led David into that world early,
- 05:46 and I'm glad that the Lord did.
- 05:49 We're all the beneficiaries of the warrior king's
- 05:54 musical proclivity.
- 05:57 David loved the Lord, and he loved to give voice.
- 06:00 There's some 70 psalms that attest to that.
- 06:02 I remember years ago, I was paralyzed from the neck down.
- 06:05 I'd picked up a dread disease called Guillain-Barre.
- 06:08 I couldn't walk.
- 06:11 I could barely move a hand, a finger.
- 06:13 And someone brought me a CD player and there was a song in
- 06:16 there by Paul Wilbur, "I Will Lift Up My Eyes Unto the Lord."
- 06:20 And with my finger, I'd play it and push replay
- 06:22 and play it and replay, and why is that?
- 06:25 Because at that time, this is the only thing I could lift.
- 06:29 And I'd cry, and I'd pray, and I'd sing.
- 06:33 Once I was in a lawsuit as well, pressed against the wall in a
- 06:37 world gone bad, dealing with wicked situations, and I'd have
- 06:44 to pray the psalms every morning to tell you the truth,
- 06:46 just to get my head above the water.
- 06:48 Well, thank God for God.
- 06:50 Thank God for David. Thank God for that gift.
- 06:52 Different people have been the beneficiary of it.
- 06:54 Saul himself, we're told in the text in 1 Samuel chapter 16,
- 06:58 he'd get wrapped around the rack.
- 07:00 He's very disconcerted and depressed, and David
- 07:03 would come and play his music.
- 07:05 And you know, it tamed the savage beast.
- 07:08 Off we go now to look at David the psalmist a little closer as
- 07:12 we continue with our story on the warrior king and look
- 07:16 at David-like leadership for these Goliath-like times.
- 07:21 ♪♪♪
- 07:31 ♪♪♪
- 07:35 Saul: The spirit of David.
- 07:38 David, it is he that causes me this anguish.
- 07:45 The tune his fingers play hath made me mad.
- 07:49 It is he who would take my throne.
- 07:52 No!
- 07:54 ♪♪♪
- 07:59 Saul: Run, David, run.
- 08:03 If I could only pursue thee, I would.
- 08:07 But I fear even moreso the Lord who runs with thee.
- 08:16 ♪♪♪
- 08:23 Jeffrey: I've seen this on more than one occasion,
- 08:25 and what am I talking about?
- 08:27 The aftermath of violence.
- 08:30 What am I referencing?
- 08:32 A crime scene.
- 08:34 As a police officer in another career, I've walked into worlds
- 08:38 where they use knives, pistols, shotguns, and they've killed.
- 08:45 It's horrible at one level what happens when I think
- 08:47 of the pent up energies.
- 08:50 People can't control them.
- 08:53 The rage gets the better and they unleash it on those
- 08:57 round about them.
- 08:59 And it's not pretty.
- 09:01 What they leave in their aftermath is pillage.
- 09:05 And so it is we walk into a world here now,
- 09:07 and now I am speaking as a biblical theologian,
- 09:11 not as a police officer.
- 09:13 We walk into a world here where we experience David,
- 09:16 who's the victim of someone's malice.
- 09:21 What do I mean by that?
- 09:24 Saul is hell-bent on destroying him.
- 09:26 He takes a spear and thrusts it at him.
- 09:30 And you know, I wonder, David must have thought, "Why?"
- 09:36 But it wasn't the first time, mind you.
- 09:37 Recall the story when David began his fighting career,
- 09:41 if you will.
- 09:42 He goes to the battle lines to bring food staples to his
- 09:45 brothers and Goliath shows up.
- 09:47 And you know, David's, "What's up with this?
- 09:49 You know, someone oughta tell him to shut up," and his
- 09:51 brothers say, "Why don't you shut up, David,
- 09:53 and go back to your stupid, little sheep."
- 09:56 And David says something that he must have thought on many
- 09:59 occasions, "What did I do?"
- 10:02 The reason why I say that, surely David, the heroic David,
- 10:07 when the world collapses round about him, David must surely
- 10:12 have thought, "What did I do?
- 10:15 What did I do to deserve this?"
- 10:17 Like Jesus on more than one occasion, he must've
- 10:19 at the feeling level said, "My God, my God,
- 10:24 why hast thou forsaken me?"
- 10:27 Because it sure felt like that, and why is that?
- 10:30 Because trusted people round about have forsaken him,
- 10:34 to put it mildly.
- 10:37 David had to run for his own sake, if you will,
- 10:40 and this is interesting for my money, and what's that?
- 10:44 David, this guy who's going to go on from Saul, when he's going
- 10:49 to look at his career as he's reflecting on it at the very end
- 10:53 of it, he's going to prove to be Israel's greatest warrior king.
- 10:57 This is a guy who inhabits real estate that has 6,000 square
- 11:01 miles, and when he's done Israel has expanded
- 11:04 to 60,000 square miles.
- 11:07 This is a winner, not a loser.
- 11:10 But what's interesting is that David spent the beginning
- 11:14 of his career on the run.
- 11:16 This forward-moving king spent 13 years--talk about 13
- 11:21 being an unlucky number.
- 11:23 Thirteen years on the run from Saul for no good reason.
- 11:29 Now, I want you to hear me on this.
- 11:31 There may be some of you that have a Saul in your world.
- 11:33 That is to say, within your webs of relationships, someone
- 11:36 who's not just frustrating, but someone who's detrimental
- 11:40 to your health, who's threatening you.
- 11:42 And listen, when I'm reading the biblical story, I'm reminded
- 11:45 of the fact sometimes you have to put it in reverse.
- 11:49 David, who was minded to begin his career by serving Saul
- 11:52 realized he had to get out of Dodge.
- 11:55 There may be some within the sound of my voice that you might
- 11:58 construe that as wisdom for you.
- 12:00 I know there's a song, "Something tells me I'm in for
- 12:03 something good," but when it comes to this domestic violence
- 12:06 stuff, when it repeats and goes over and over and over again,
- 12:09 something tells me that you're not.
- 12:11 And I wanna tell you, with a Bible in one hand
- 12:13 and a little Jesus in my heart, that sometimes it's time
- 12:17 to say goodbye.
- 12:19 But for fear of an uncertain future, I've seen people hold on
- 12:23 to the very end, leading to their own death because they
- 12:26 didn't know when to cut and get out of Dodge.
- 12:30 And I want you to hear me please.
- 12:33 Uncertain as David's world was when bad things were happening
- 12:37 around him, I want you to know that he walked by faith
- 12:40 in an uncertain future.
- 12:41 And you know what happened?
- 12:43 God raised him up to be something that's greater than
- 12:46 his wildest imagination at the time when
- 12:48 he's dodging these spears.
- 12:51 I want you to know the same God is the God of David,
- 12:53 the same God is the God for you.
- 12:55 And I want you to know the same Lord is the Lord of all and he
- 12:58 bestows his riches upon all who call upon him.
- 13:02 I believe that God has a great future for you and he can even
- 13:06 use the difficulties in the present to prepare you for it.
- 13:11 ♪♪♪

- 13:43 "I Call You Friend."

- 13:54 too, so you can watch us 24 hours a day,
- 13:58 7 days a week.
- 13:59 But also remember that it does cost money to do that, so please

- 14:07 the middle of the month, or right now.
- 14:10 Please call us at 1-800-WONDERS or visit us at levitt.com.
- 14:20 David: Today may be the first time that you are watching
- 14:22 "Zola Levitt Presents."
- 14:23 Some of you have been watching for the last 40 years.
- 14:27 And we can't do what we do without your financial support.
- 14:30 We just wanna say thank you so much.
- 14:32 Now, let's go to our dramatic reenactment where David has
- 14:34 peace in the midst of the storm.
- 14:43 male: Those of us who fought with David found it strange
- 14:45 that he never feared death.
- 14:48 Even in the midst of the battle, his confidence grew.
- 14:51 He told us that the angel of the Lord encampeth round about
- 14:54 those who fear the Lord.
- 14:56 Deliverance, he said, was in the hands of the Lord.
- 15:00 Ever calm, ever secure, David's faith remained unflinching.
- 15:15 Jeffrey: And to think, I used to be a police officer
- 15:17 in the big city, and now I'm coming to you from Israel
- 15:21 with all of these sheep.
- 15:22 And the reason why I'm doing that is because the hero of our
- 15:25 story, David, cut his teeth working like this guy right
- 15:29 here, working with these guys right here.
- 15:33 And I think it's perhaps for that reason that David
- 15:35 was able to make the shift and envision that,
- 15:38 "The Lord is my Shepherd."
- 15:40 That is, inasmuch as he himself was kindly disposed towards
- 15:44 the welfare of those under his charge, he knew that
- 15:47 difficulties notwithstanding, God would do similar
- 15:51 on his behalf.
- 15:52 And it's for that reason in part wherein in Psalm 34--
- 15:55 and I really want you to turn there with me and have a look
- 15:58 if you will, please.
- 16:00 Sheep can be a little pushy as I'm learning right now.
- 16:03 But he says in Psalm 34, in verse 4, "I sought the Lord,
- 16:08 and he heard me, and he delivered me from my fears."
- 16:15 A moment ago, we considered, in the previous segment, that David
- 16:19 was pressed against the turbulence of trying times,
- 16:22 but he had a good God who was a good Shepherd,
- 16:24 and he says, "I sought him and he delivered me."
- 16:28 He goes on to say, "They looked to him, and were radiant:
- 16:31 and their faces were not ashamed."
- 16:34 Our warrior king learned that he could look to God,
- 16:36 even crying out from his difficulties.
- 16:39 And God could take away the shame and the difficulty
- 16:43 and give him a kind of joy.
- 16:45 There is a peace of God that passes all understanding,
- 16:49 and our warrior king learned about that.
- 16:53 He says, "This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him,
- 16:58 and he saved him from all of his troubles."
- 17:01 Whether it's Saul, whether it's Goliath, whether it's his own
- 17:06 sins, our hero learned that there's a good God who loves
- 17:11 him, who was willing and able to save him from all of his
- 17:15 troubles, much as a shepherd who is kindly disposed toward
- 17:19 these sheep will lead them on successfully.
- 17:22 And when the enemies come around about, snakes, wolves, whatever,
- 17:26 that shepherd's gonna take care of them as well.
- 17:29 "This poor man cried to the Lord and he delivered him."
- 17:31 And then he says a statement in verse 7 that's as true for him
- 17:35 as it for me, as it is for you.
- 17:37 And here we go, in verse 7, "The angel of the Lord encamps
- 17:42 around those who fear him, and delivers them."
- 17:46 I believe, by the way, that we don't just have some
- 17:50 philosophical society.
- 17:51 I believe that we have a God who is willing and able.
- 17:55 In John chapter 10, Jesus said, "I am the door.
- 17:59 Anyone who enters by me will be saved, and will go in
- 18:04 and out and find pasture."
- 18:05 And the word "save" in the Greek means to deliver, to heal,
- 18:10 to make whole.
- 18:12 We have a God who really cares about us.
- 18:15 We have a verse in Scripture, "Thanks be to God who always
- 18:18 leads us in triumph," said Paul, who had it in a bad way on more
- 18:23 than one day, but God is good.
- 18:26 We're told here as well--well, we're encouraged here
- 18:28 in verse 8, "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
- 18:32 blessed is the man," or the woman, "who trusts in him!"
- 18:38 Our warrior king learned that he could come up from nowhere.
- 18:42 He came from obscurity as a young man tending
- 18:46 his father's sheep, a dad that didn't respect him much.
- 18:50 And then he entered into a world where a surrogate dad,
- 18:53 if you will, Saul took him under his charge.
- 18:56 And it wasn't just disrespect, it was out and outright hate.
- 19:00 David cut his teeth in his trials and he learned there's
- 19:04 a good God who watches over his Word to perform it.
- 19:09 And David's story as he makes his way from the womb to tomb
- 19:12 is so telling because in so many ways he's like us,
- 19:17 and he's commended his recipe for success in life.
- 19:21 You know, there can be families today that come from the old
- 19:24 country and use grandma's recipes.
- 19:27 And goodness, if we could just learn to cook like that,
- 19:30 we would eat well.
- 19:31 When--in much the same way that David's recipes for success
- 19:35 in life are left in his own words.
- 19:38 He says here, "Oh, fear the Lord."
- 19:40 Now, that means revere him, respect him.
- 19:43 "Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints!"
- 19:45 That's more than just going to church on Sundays and on
- 19:48 weekends if there's something that interests you.
- 19:50 A reverence for the Lord pays dividends.
- 19:54 Our warrior king learned that.
- 19:56 We're considering David-like leadership in Goliath-like times
- 20:00 and we're learning about a God who loves,
- 20:02 who saves, and redeems.
- 20:04 He did it for David, he'll do it for you.
- 20:07 ♪♪♪
- 20:14 David: Many of you know that I am a worship leader every week
- 20:16 at our church, and I had kind of an ah-ha moment the other day,
- 20:20 as during the week I was doing something at home,
- 20:23 and I heard Kirsten in another room singing the song
- 20:27 that we sang that Sunday.
- 20:30 And to me, the whole reason that we worship on Sunday is to help
- 20:34 us through our week, to give us peace in the midst of the storm.
- 20:38 Not that you had a storm in your life, but the songs that we sing
- 20:41 help us through our day, through our weeks, through--
- 20:43 some of us, through our year.
- 20:45 And I think that's what the Psalms are about.
- 20:47 Jeffrey: It's always bothered me, you know, as a teacher,
- 20:49 preacher, that people aren't reciting lines from the message
- 20:54 during the course of a week.
- 20:56 The music is, indeed, inspirational.
- 20:59 "Inspiritus," it means to breathe spirit in.
- 21:03 And worship does that, and David was tapped into that.
- 21:06 To me, it's incredible.
- 21:08 Kirsten: When you were saying that, I was literally thinking
- 21:10 the words "tapped in," and we look at him as an example.
- 21:15 So, he's in the midst of these storms.
- 21:17 I don't know if you're in the midst of a storm today.
- 21:20 Do what David did.
- 21:21 He tapped into the music that's a gift from God.
- 21:25 It's something that God gives us, and it changed David's life.
- 21:29 He was able to face the storms because of the gift of music.
- 21:33 Jeffrey: To your point, I've never gone off to war,
- 21:35 but I've got 20 years as a cop under my belt,
- 21:37 among other things.
- 21:39 And as I'm dispatched to a hot call running code,
- 21:41 I'm not thinking of a stanza.
- 21:43 I'm very focused on what I was doing, given the nature
- 21:48 of a crisis and the precariousness of it all.
- 21:51 It's hard for me to imagine a guy who can find some calm
- 21:54 amidst the storm to carve out some space to go to his hiding
- 21:58 place, because he knew that God was the source of his success
- 22:02 as he found himself amidst the turbulence of trying times.
- 22:06 David: I think there was somebody else who was really
- 22:07 good at worship and music, and that's Zola Levitt in his day,
- 22:12 bringing us worship and music.
- 22:14 Jeffrey: I mean, to that point, he was educated up
- 22:16 to the doctoral level in music.
- 22:18 People don't know that about him.
- 22:20 Kirsten: And when you were mentioning to the hiding place,
- 22:21 we think of Ein Gedi in Israel.
- 22:23 That literally was his place of hiding that God gave him.
- 22:27 And the psalm says, "You are my hiding place."
- 22:30 I mean, he penned these words and we sing them today.
- 22:34 And he was very real in what he wrote.
- 22:37 I mean, his psalms, like, he poured out his heart.
- 22:40 Jeffrey: Yes, and to your challenge, to the viewers, too,
- 22:42 it really is important to carve out our own hiding place,
- 22:46 because we're not King David, but we all have our "tsuris,"
- 22:51 a Jewish word.
- 22:53 We all have our aggravation.
- 22:54 We have our Sauls, we have our wars,
- 22:56 and we need to find a place.
- 22:58 Kirsten: Don't leave. Stay with us.

- 23:36 announcer: "For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good
- 23:39 land, a land of fig trees and pomegranates,
- 23:45 a land of olive oil and honey.
- 23:48 Arise, walk through the land, for all the land which thou
- 23:54 seest, to thee will I give it and to thy seed forever.
- 24:01 Worship in the shadows of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
- 24:08 Behold the land of the covenant."
- 24:15 Kirsten: You just saw pictures of the holy land.
- 24:18 You can go there with us in the fall and also in the spring.
- 24:22 And I would like to just say to you today, go while
- 24:26 you are still physically able.
- 24:29 We've met many people that said, "It's too late for me to be able
- 24:32 to go to the holy land, or go to Greece, or walk to Petra."
- 24:35 Go now and you will never be the same.
- 24:39 Now let's go to our friend Chaim Malespin in Israel.
- 24:44 ♪♪♪
- 24:51 Chaim Malespin: Favorite place in Israel, probably Galilee.
- 24:54 Favorite prophet, I love Isaiah.
- 24:57 I've been listening to the words of Isaiah, chapter 43
- 24:59 and verse 2, where he says, "Though you pass through
- 25:02 the fire, you will not be burned," right?
- 25:05 I mean, how many of us as soldiers here in Israel--
- 25:07 I'm a master sergeant in the Elite Force
- 25:10 of the Combat Engineers in the IDF.
- 25:13 And how many of us have stories of God's protection?
- 25:15 I mean, my own brother even, I know the story of where
- 25:18 a missile fell into the middle of his company.
- 25:20 None of 'em were hurt.
- 25:22 None of his team were hurt.
- 25:23 My best friend, when he was driving that tank,
- 25:25 the track was--fell off.
- 25:27 He tried to put it back on and only by a supernatural miracle,
- 25:30 it stayed on all the way back into Israel's borders.
- 25:34 I thank God that he is protecting his land
- 25:36 and his people.
- 25:37 We are in this together.
- 25:39 This isn't about Jews doing their thing
- 25:40 and the Gentiles doing their thing.
- 25:42 It's about a coming together as one for such a time as this.
- 25:45 Let's get on board with what he's doing.

- 26:23 Jeffrey: Thirty years a Bible college professor.
- 26:26 So much of it has been the head.
- 26:30 As I'm older in life, I realize it's so much about the heart.
- 26:35 That program that we're in right now is so much about the heart.
- 26:40 Speaking of which, the Harts, why don't you finish this out?
- 26:44 David: I thought you were pointing to us when you said,
- 26:45 "The heart."
- 26:47 Kirsten: And we appreciate that.
- 26:48 I think my personal takeaway today from the program was
- 26:51 that music can bring peace in the midst of a storm.
- 26:55 No matter what you're going through today,
- 26:57 music is a gift from God.
- 27:00 Put it in your CD player, tune it on, get on your computer.
- 27:04 Listen to the words of the Bible through music.
- 27:07 It'll change your life.
- 27:09 David: And join us next week for our final program
- 27:10 of "Warrior King."
