Caption transcript for The Dark Prince: “Satan in Biblical History” (2/10)

• 00:38 HOW YOU HAVE FALLEN FROM HEAVEN LUCIFER, SON OF THE MORNING,
• 00:42 YOU SHALL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HELL TO THE DEPTHS OF THE PIT
• 00:47 AND ALL WHO GAZE UPON YOU WILL WONDER,
• 00:50 "IS THIS THE MAN THAT MADE THE NATIONS TREMBLE?"
• 00:59 WHEN THE DEVIL HAS HIS DAY
• 01:04 A HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
• 01:07 JEFFREY SEIF HERE AND PLEASED AM I TO WELCOME YOU
• 01:10 TO ANOTHER ADDITION OF ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS
• 01:14 WE'RE ENTERING INTO A TIME MACHINE AND JOURNEYING BACK TO THE DAWN OF THE BIBLICAL DRAMA
• 01:21 WHEN SIN MADE ITS ENTRANCE ONTO THE STAGE OF THE HUMAN DRAMA.
• 01:26 IT'S A TOUGH STORY.
• 01:28 MY GOOD FRIEND PAUL WILBUR IS GOING TO BE HERE TO HELP SHARE IT WITH US
• 01:33 BUT OFF WE GO TO EDEN TO LOOK AT THE BIBLICAL STORY.
• 01:57 AND THE LORD GOD PLANTED A GARDEN EASTWARD IN EDEN
• 02:01 AND OUT OF THE GROUND MADE THE LORD GOD TO GROW EVERY TREE THAT IS PLEASANT TO THE SIGHT AND GOOD FOR FOOD.
• 02:08 AND GOD SAID, "OF EVERY TREE OF THE GARDEN THOU MAYEST FREELY EAT"
• 02:14 "BUT OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL THOU SHALL NOT EAT OF IT,"
• 02:19 "FOR IN THE DAY THAT THOU EATEST THEREOF THOU SHALL SURELY DIE."
• 02:25 EVER SO FAR AWAY AND YET EVER SO NEAR IN THE DARK AGELESS ABYSS
• 02:33 A FOREBODING VOICE COUNTERS AND BECKONS...
• 02:36 "TAKE...EAT."
• 02:52 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 03:05 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 03:11 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 03:18 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 03:32 ...AND WITH THAT QUESTION OPENED UP THE DRAMA OF THE AGES
• 03:39 THAT'S PLAYED OUT ON ALL THE BIBLICAL PAGES
• 03:44 WHEN EVE AND ADAM WERE VISITED BY THIS NEFARIOUS CREATURE AND SHE AND HE AND THEY
• 03:54 WERE ENTICED TO EAT THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT AND THE REST IS HISTORY.
• 04:00 WELL LET'S FOLLOW HIS STORY.
• 04:05 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 04:13 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 04:17 "NO, NO..."
• 04:20 "GOD DIDN'T SAY THAT I CAN'T EAT OF ALL OF THE FRUIT OF THE GARDEN."
• 04:24 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 04:36 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 04:41 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 04:51 "WHAT AUDACITY!"
• 04:54 "YOU'RE KIDDING ME...IS THAT WHAT HE SAID?"
• 04:59 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 05:08 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 05:12 "HAH...YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DIE"
• 05:16 "LADY LET ME TELL YOU THE REAL NEWS BEHIND THE NEWS."
• 05:21 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 05:27 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 05:37 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 05:43 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 05:50 "LADY HE'S HOLDING YOU BACK,"
• 05:52 "HE'S JEALOUS, HE'S CONNING YOU"
• 05:55 "HE DOESN'T WANT THE COMPETITION"
• 05:58 "HE DOESN'T WANT YOU IN HIS FACE"
• 06:00 "BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHEN YOU EAT HE'S FINISHED..."
• 06:05 BECAUSE..."
• 06:07 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 06:10 "BECAUSE YOUR GOING TO BECOME WISE"
• 06:12 "AND BE THE BETTER TO KNOW GOOD FROM EVIL."
• 06:15 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 06:27 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 06:36 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 06:44 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 06:51 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 07:46 AND SO THE GREAT DECEIVER, THE WICKED TEMPTER STAKES HIS FIRST CLAIM ON PLANET EARTH.
• 07:55 ON IN THE SHADOWS HE SCHEMES AND PREPARES FOR MORE.
• 08:01 IN GENESIS CHAPTER 1, VERSE 26 IT SAYS,
• 08:04 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 08:15 AND SO IT WAS THAT HUMANKIND WAS MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD.
• 08:20 THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS.
• 08:23 THE BAD NEWS, HOWEVER, IS THAT THE RACE GOT BESTED BY THE DARKER SIDE OF OUR OWN NATURE.
• 08:32 THE ACQUISITIVE GENIE GOT OUT OF THE BOTTLE..."I JUST GOT TO HAVE...I WANT MORE AND MORE."
• 08:40 THE PERENNIAL DISCONTENT THAT WE FEEL THAT CAUSES US TO BUY...WE SPEND WITH MONEY WE DON'T HAVE.
• 08:48 WE'VE GOT TO FILL OUR CLOSETS, WE'VE GOT TO FILL OUR BARNS AND GROW OUR BARNS MORE, MORE, MORE.
• 08:54 THAT RUINOUS INCLINATION IS EVIDENCED THE VERY FIRST IMPULSES OF BIBLICAL LITERATURE WHEN MANKIND WAS CREATED.
• 09:08 AND HERE NOW THOUGH PLACED IN "GAN-EDEN, THOUGH PLACED IN PARADISE,
• 09:16 IN RESPONSE TO THIS TRAGEDY
• 09:19 ADAM AND "CHAV VAH" ARE EXPUNGED, THEY'RE KICKED OUT.
• 09:23 WE'RE TOLD TRAGICALLY
• 09:25 AFTER SOME JUDGMENTS WERE METED OUT AGAINST THE SERPENT,
• 09:29 THE WOMAN AND THE MAN FINALLY,
• 09:32 THAT THEY WERE THEN CAST OUT.
• 09:35 ITS SOBER, IT'S SOMBER.
• 09:37 IN VERSE 24,
• 09:39 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 09:46 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 09:55 WE'RE TOLD THEN WITH A FLAMING SWORD
• 09:58 IN ORDER THAT MANKIND COULDN'T FIND THEIR WAY BACK.
• 10:03 AND SO IT WAS WE WHO WERE MADE IN A GOOD CONDITION, WE RUINED IT,
• 10:11 WE WERE SULLIED ACCORDING TO BIBLICAL TEXTS AND WHY IS THAT?
• 10:16 BECAUSE OF THE DECEIVER...
• 10:19 "PSSST...HEY, LADY DON'T LISTEN TO HIM, HE'S TRYING TO GET IN THE WAY OF YOUR HAPPINESS,"
• 10:26 "HE'S TRYING TO MESS UP YOUR WORLD. ..TAKE THIS, HAVE THAT."
• 10:31 AND THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE END.
• 10:35 TRAGIC ISN'T IT THAT THE END IS SEWN RIGHT INTO THE OPENING NARRATIVE WITH HUMANKIND.
• 10:45 SAD AS WELL IS THE FACT THAT IN SO MANY WAYS THIS THE ORIGINAL SIN IS PLAYED OUT IN WAYS THAT ARE ORIGINAL...
• 10:54 DOR LA' DOR, FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION AS PEOPLE GRAB, SEIZE AS WE TAKE WHAT'S NOT OUR OWN.
• 11:03 THE BIBLICAL STORY IS THAT THERE'S A DECEIVER,
• 11:07 THERE'S NOW A SPIRIT THAT'S AT WORK AND THE SONS OF DISOBEDIENCE PRESSING US
• 11:12 TO TAKE THAT WHICH IS NOT OUR OWN...AN EVIL SPIRIT.
• 11:17 PEOPLE ARE TEMPTED BY DEMONS TODAY AS THEY WERE BY THIS PRINCE YESTERDAY.
• 11:25 AND IN THIS SERIES WE CONSIDER HIS WAYS AS WE LOOK AT THE DEVIL.
• 11:33 AND IN THIS PROGRAM PARTICULARLY WE NOTE HOW IT IS THAT HE MAKES HIS ENTRANCE ONTO THE STAGE OF THE HUMAN DRAMA
• 11:40 AND THEN IN OUR NEXT SEGMENT WE'RE GOING TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THE BIBLICAL STORY,
• 11:46 TO THE BOOK "REVELATION" AND SEE HOW THIS BAD STORY HAS A GOOD END STILL.

• 14:07 AND LEARN ABOUT JOHN'S BOOK, "THE REVELATION".
• 14:13 "NO.....NO.......!!!!!"
• 14:22 "AND I SAW AN ANGEL COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN"
• 14:25 "HAVING A KEY OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT"
• 14:27 "AND GREAT CHAIN IN HIS HAND."
• 14:33 "AND HE LAID HOLD OF THE DRAGON,"
• 14:36 "THAT OLD SERPENT WHICH IS THE DEVIL AND SATAN,"
• 14:42 "AND BOUND HIM A THOUSAND YEARS."
• 14:50 THEY MAY WELL HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT OF PARADISE IN THE BEGINNING...
• 14:55 BUT NO SIREE, THAT WAS HARDLY THE END OF IT!
• 15:01 GOD WASN'T GOING TO LEAVE IT AT THAT, AND WHY IS THAT?
• 15:03 BECAUSE FROM THE BEGINNING PAGES OF THE BIBLE WE LEARN THAT GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD.
• 15:09 IN DIFFERENT WAYS, THROUGH DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENTS WE DISCOVER A GOD WHO'S LOOKING TO WALK WITH PEOPLE...
• 15:15 PEOPLE THAT BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN SINS WERE THROWN OUT OF PARADISE.
• 15:21 BUT GOD IS LOOKING TO REDEEM, HE SENDS PROPHETS, PRIESTS, NOBLE KINGS,
• 15:28 THERE ARE RENEWALS AND RIVALS BUT STILL THE WORLD GOES DOWN, DOWN, DOWN.
• 15:36 FINALLY, WE READ IN THE BIBLICAL TEXT THAT THE LORD SENDS HIS SON INTO THE WORLD...DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HIM.
• 15:42 HE CAME UNTO HIS OWN AND HIS OWN PEOPLE RECEIVED HIM NOT.
• 15:46 THAT'S A REALLY TOUGH STORY.
• 15:49 BUT THOUGH THE LORD WAS PERSONALLY REJECTED
• 15:51 IT SEEMS AT ONE LEVEL THAT HE DIDN'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY, AND WHY DO I SAY THAT?
• 15:56 BECAUSE THOUGH THERE WAS A CURSE...
• 15:59 OH, AND WE READ ABOUT THE CURSE OF SIN IN BIBLICAL LITERATURE...
• 16:05 OH, AND IN REVELATION PARTICULARLY
• 16:08 THE WORLD IS SWEPT UP IN FAMINES, EARTHQUAKES, COSMIC DISTURBANCES.
• 16:15 IT NOT ONLY AFFECTS PEOPLES AND LIVES, IT AFFECTS MINDS AND EVEN THE EARTH.
• 16:21 IT'S LIKE NUCLEAR WINTER IN CERTAIN PLACES.
• 16:25 IN A WORLD A PLANET IS REELING BENEATH THE BURDEN OF WORLD THAT IS JUST SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL.
• 16:34 BUT YOU KNOW GOD DIDN'T LEAVE IT LIKE THAT.
• 16:39 SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT THE DEVIL KNOWS THAT HIS TIME IS SHORT
• 16:43 AND HE RAMPS IT UP.
• 16:46 BUT WE READ ABOUT A GOD WHO'S WORKING BEHIND HISTORY
• 16:50 IN ORDER THAT HIS STORY WILL PREVAIL.
• 16:55 AND WHAT IS THAT STORY?
• 16:56 IN REVELATION CHAPTER 20 JOHN SEES AN ANGEL COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN
• 17:02 HAVING THE KEY TO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT AND A CHAIN IN HIS HAND.
• 17:08 AND PRAY TELL WHAT HAVE WE HERE?
• 17:11 AS A POLICE OFFICER ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I HAVE TAKEN THE CUFFS OUT AND WHY IS THAT?
• 17:17 BECAUSE SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE BOUND,
• 17:21 SOMEONE IS THEN GOING TO BE TRIED
• 17:24 AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SENTENCED.
• 17:27 OH, WHEN WE READ THE BIBLE WE READ ABOUT A WORLD GONE BAD
• 17:30 BUT WE READ ABOUT PARADISE RESTORED AND WHY IS THAT?
• 17:35 BECAUSE THE LORD SHOWS UP PERSONALLY
• 17:38 AND HERE HE DISPATCHES ONE WITH A CHAIN AND WHAT DOES HE DO?
• 17:41 WE'RE TOLD IN CHAPTER 20, VERSE 2,
• 17:58 IT'S AN INTERESTING STORY.
• 18:00 THE WORD "DEVIL" IS THE WORD "LIVED" SPELLED BACKWARDS
• 18:05 AND AIN'T IT LIKE THE DEVIL TO TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN?
• 18:09 AND ISN'T IT LIKE THE LORD TO TURN IT RIGHT SIDE UP?
• 18:16 IN THIS SERIES WE'RE LOOKING AT THE TIME WHEN THE DEVIL HAS HIS DAY.
• 18:21 THAT TIME COMES TO AN END.
• 18:24 AND NOW IN THIS SERIES WE'LL FILL IN THE TIMES IN BETWEEN
• 18:28 AS WE SPEAK OF THE DEMISE OF THE EVIL ONE.
• 18:36 AND NOW IN PRAISE TO OUR LORD WHO IS EVER VICTORIOUS

• 22:24 PAUL WILBUR ONCE AGAIN, GLAD TO SEE YA.
• 22:27 THANKS JEFF, GREAT TO BE BACK.
• 22:29 YOU'VE BEEN TRAVELING ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVEN'T YOU?
• 22:31 YES WE STARTED THE YEAR IN FINLAND
• 22:34 AND WE'VE BEEN TO DOMINICAN REPUBLIC,
• 22:37 WE'VE BEEN TO ISRAEL,
• 22:39 WE WERE THERE TOGETHER AND WE'RE PLANNING MORE TRIPS FOR ISRAEL.
• 22:42 WE'LL BE IN THE UKRAINE IN JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS TIME.
• 22:45 WE'RE GOING TO THE MIDDLE EAST OF DUBAI IN KUWAIT THIS YEAR
• 22:50 TO INVADE THE MUSLIM WORLD...
• 22:52 THROUGH PRAISE.
• 22:53 YES BECAUSE PRAISE IS SO POWERFUL JEFF
• 22:57 IT BREAKS DOWN BARRIERS,
• 22:59 IT INVADES THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE.
• 23:02 I'M A LITTLE JEALOUS.
• 23:03 THEY DON'T INVITE ME TO PREACH MUCH
• 23:04 BUT THEY SURE BE INVITING YOU TO SING! (LAUGHING)
• 23:06 I'M KIDDING. BLESS YOU.
• 23:10 THANK YOU.
• 23:12 IT'S JUST A GREAT PRIVILEGE TO CARRY THE MESSAGE
• 23:14 THAT GOD HAS PUT IN THE BOTH OF US INTO THE WORLD TODAY.
• 23:18 AND THESE ARE THE DAYS OF ELIJAH.
• 23:21 THESE ARE THE DAYS THAT GOD IS TURNING
• 23:23 THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS TO THE CHILDREN
• 23:26 AND THE HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN TO THE FATHERS.
• 23:28 HE'S TURNING THE HEART OF THE JEW TO THE CHRISTIAN.
• 23:31 HE'S TURNING THE HEART OF THE CHRISTIAN TO THE JEW;
• 23:33 THE HEART OF ISRAEL TO THE NATIONS
• 23:35 AND THE HEART OF THE NATIONS TO ISRAEL.
• 23:37 SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO SEE
• 23:39 BECAUSE THE MEDIA SO PLAYS UP THE NEGATIVE.
• 23:42 BUT WE HAVE A GOD WHO IS SO OMNIPOTENT,
• 23:45 HE'S WORKING HIS PLAN UNDER THE WHOLE COVERING
• 23:51 OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE EARTH TODAY
• 23:53 AND HE'S VICTORIOUS EVERY TIME.
• 23:54 SEE I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE A GOOD NEWS WORD IN A BAD NEWS WORLD.
• 23:59 THAT'S TRUE.
• 24:01 I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE TO BE A VICTOR AND NOT A VICTIM
• 24:03 AND DIFFICULTIES NOTWITHSTANDING
• 24:05 WE HAVE A GOD WHO DELIVERS.
• 24:06 ABSOLUTELY AND ONE OF THE WAYS THAT HE HELPS TO DELIVER US
• 24:10 IS BY THE POWER OF WHAT WE SAY.
• 24:13 YOU STARTED THIS PROGRAM IN GENESIS
• 24:15 AND LOOK HOW IT BEGAN IN THE SPIRIT...
• 24:17 "GOD SAID AND IT WAS".
• 24:19 HE'S GIVEN US POWER AND AUTHORITY.
• 24:21 OUR WORDS HAVE POWER... CHANGES THE ATMOSPHERE AROUND US, WHY?
• 24:26 BECAUSE HE INHABITS OUR PRAISES.
• 24:28 RIGHT, THAT IS A GOOD POINT.
• 24:31 AND WE'RE TOO BUSY SHARING THAT WORD IN THIS WORLD
• 24:34 UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE LORD TAKES US HOME.
• 24:37 AND FOR THAT WE WAIT THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPET, THE RAPTURE.
• 24:42 AND NOW HERE'S ZOLA LEVITT, THE LATE ZOLA LEVITT, TO TALK TO US ABOUT THAT.
• 24:48 WE'RE GONNA LOOK AHEAD
• 24:50 AT THE EVENTS OF PROPHECY
• 24:52 AS THEY'RE GIVEN IN THE SCRIPTURE
• 24:53 AND OF COURSE THE FIRST ONE OF THOSE
• 24:55 IS THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH.
• 24:57 I SAY "THE FIRST"
• 24:58 BECAUSE THAT IS AN EVENT THAT COMES AS A SURPRISE.
• 25:01 LEAVING OUT ALL OF THE THEOLOGICAL ARGUMENTS FOR IT,
• 25:05 THE VARIOUS SCRIPTURES THAT SHOW ITS BEFORE THE TRIBULATION, ALL THE REST OF IT,
• 25:11 THE RAPTURE IS A SURPRISE, ITS IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE,
• 25:14 ITS AS LIGHTNING GOES ACROSS THE SKY.
• 25:17 IT'S A SUDDEN THING.
• 25:19 AND IF IT'S A SUDDEN THING IT CAN'T COME AFTER SOME OTHER THING.
• 25:22 IN OTHER WORDS IF IT HAS AN EVENT
• 25:25 LIKE FOLLOWING THE ANTI-CHRIST SIGNING THE PEACE COVENANT WITH ISRAEL,
• 25:29 WHICH LOOKS LIKE ITS IN THE NEAR FUTURE;
• 25:31 IF IT WAITED FOR THAT THEN YOU WOULD KNOW
• 25:35 WHEN THE COVENANT WAS SIGNED THE RAPTURE'S COMING RIGHT UP.
• 25:39 IT COULDN'T BE AT THE MID TRIB POINT OR THE POST TRIB POINT FOR THE SAME REASON,
• 25:42 YOU COULD JUST PUT IT ON A CALENDAR, YOU'D BE READY TO GO, YOU'D BE PACKED FOR THE RAPTURE.
• 25:46 THAT'S NOT HOW THE RAPTURE HAPPENS.
• 25:48 WE KNOW ITS COMING...
• 25:50 WE DON'T KNOW WHEN IT'S COMING AND THAT IS AN IMPORTANT POINT ABOUT THE RAPTURE,
• 25:54 THE IMPORTANT POINT.
• 25:55 THE THING ABOUT THE RAPTURE IS THAT IT CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME.
• 26:02 WE DO WELL TO BE READY DON'T WE PAUL?
• 26:04 I THINK ITS SOMETHING
• 26:05 THAT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING TOWARDS.
• 26:07 YOU KNOW THE SCRIPTURES TELLS US
• 26:08 THAT EVEN LIKE THOSE FAITHFUL VIRGINS
• 26:11 TO KEEP OUR LAMPS FULL OF OIL,
• 26:13 KEEP THAT WICK TRIMMED
• 26:15 THAT THE LIGHT IS BURNING BRIGHT
• 26:17 SO THAT THE THINGS THAT WE SPEAK,
• 26:19 THE THINGS THAT WE DO,
• 26:20 EVEN THE THINGS THAT WE MEDITATE ON,
• 26:22 THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE SOON RETURN OF OUR MESSIAH AND OUR KING.
• 26:26 YEAH, WE'RE TO KEEP OUR SHIELD OF FAITH UP
• 26:28 THAT'S WHY WE NEED GOOD BIBLE TEACHING,
• 26:30 GOOD PROGRAMMING TO ENCOURAGE BIBLICAL FAITH IN THE LORD, CORRECT?
• 26:33 SO MANY TIMES JEFF AS I'VE TRAVELED AROUND THE WORLD
• 26:36 AND PROBABLY IT'S TRUE FOR YOU...
• 26:38 WHEN I CAN LOG ON TO A GREAT TELEVISION PROGRAM
• 26:42 IN WHATEVER COUNTRY, WHERE MY SPIRIT IS BUILT UP
• 26:46 I'M ENCOURAGED,
• 26:47 I'M HEARING THE WORD
• 26:48 AND IT BUILDS UP OUR FAITH.
• 26:49 YES, AND THANK YOU
• 26:51 FOR ALLOWING US TO BUILD UP YOUR FAITH
• 26:53 AND AS YOU GO,
• 26:55 SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM
• 26:57 PLEASE PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
