• 00:08 LOOK TO THE NORTH
• 00:11 THE SOUTH
• 00:14 THE EAST
• 00:17 THE WEST
• 00:25 ALL THE LAND WHICH THOU SEEST
• 00:27 TO THEE WILL I GIVE IT
• 00:29 AND TO THY SEED FOREVER.
• 00:34 INDEED... HE WHO WATCHES OVER ISRAEL WILL NEITHER SLUMBER NOR SLEEP.
• 00:55 HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
• 00:57 JEFFREY SEIF HERE
• 00:58 WITH ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 01:00 THIS TIME THE 6TH OF AN 8 PART SERIES CALLED "ERETZ ISRAEL".
• 01:06 "ERETZ"...WHAT'S THAT?...
• 01:08 YOU SPEAKING IN TONGUES BUDDY?
• 01:10 YES,THAT'S THE HEBREW TONGUE.
• 01:12 IT MEANS "LAND".
• 01:13 AND WE'RE TAKING YOU THERE.
• 01:16 NOT JUST THERE
• 01:17 BUT TODAY A FASCINATING PLACE THERE CALLED ARMAGEDDON.
• 01:22 HEBREW "HAR" MEANS "MOUNTAIN"
• 01:25 AND "MEGIDDO" IT'S A PLACE WHERE MANY BATTLES WERE FOUGHT.
• 01:29 SPEAKING OF WHICH NOW WE'LL BEGIN WITH ANCIENT BATTLES WITH THE PHILISTINES
• 01:34 AS WE CONSIDER WARS LONG AGO.
• 01:41 KING DAVID SITS ON HIS THRONE
• 01:44 KNOWING FULL WELL THAT HIS KINGDOM HAD NOT COME EASILY;
• 01:47 ACCEPT BY THE STRENGTH OF THE LORD.
• 01:50 AND IT CAME TO PASS THAT DAVID SMOTE THE PHILISTINES AND SUBDUED THEM.
• 01:55 AND HE SMOTE MOAB.
• 01:57 AND HE SLEWED THE SYRIANS TWO AND TWENTY THOUSAND MEN.
• 02:02 AND ALL THEY OF EDOM BECAME DAVID'S SERVANTS
• 02:06 AND THE LORD PRESERVED DAVID WITHER SO EVER HE WENT.
• 02:11 AND DAVID REIGNED OVER ALL ISRAEL
• 02:14 AND DAVID EXECUTED JUDGMENT AND JUSTICE UNTO ALL HIS PEOPLE.
• 02:19 AND DAVID'S SONS WERE CHIEF RULERS.
• 02:27 THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF WARS
• 02:29 AND RUMORS OF WARS
• 02:30 BUT FOR DAVID
• 02:31 IT WAS MORE THAN JUST A RUMOR
• 02:33 CAUSE HE FORGED OUT A KINGDOM BY DINT OF HIS DETERMINATION
• 02:37 AND WITH GOD'S HELP OF COURSE, HIM BEING THE ANOINTED ONE OF GOD.
• 02:41 WELL RIGHT HERE, ARMAGEDDON,
• 02:43 HIS SON SOLOMON LEARNED ABOUT THAT AND MORE.
• 02:47 COME WITH ME NOW
• 02:48 AS WE GO OFF TO ARMAGEDDON.
• 03:25 DAVID CARVED IT OUT...
• 03:27 SOLOMON SOLIDIFIED IT.
• 03:29 TO WHAT EXACTLY AM I REFERRING?
• 03:32 LET ME SHOW YOU.
• 03:41 SOLOMON'S KINGDOM
• 03:43 THERE'S SOMETHING OF A VAST EXPANSE.
• 03:45 MEGIDDO IS SOMETHING AT THE HEARTLAND OF IT.
• 03:48 HE HAD TO FORTIFY, DEFEND AND USE THIS
• 03:52 TO HOLD OFF INVADING FORCES FROM THE NORTH AND FROM THE EAST.
• 03:56 INTO MEGIDDO WE'LL GO.
• 04:19 IT'S CALLED "THE PROMISED LAND"
• 04:22 AND THE REASON WHY IT'S CALLED "THE PROMISED LAND"
• 04:24 IS BECAUSE GOD PROMISED THAT LAND.
• 04:26 AND HE PROMISED IT TO A PARTICULAR PEOPLE
• 04:30 WHO WERE DESTINED TO MAKE A BID AT A PARTICULAR PLACE.
• 04:34 AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO FIGHT TO SECURE A TOEHOLD IN A REGION
• 04:38 YOU'RE GOING TO NEED SPACE TO FIGHT FROM.
• 04:41 HENCE, MEGIDDO HERE...
• 04:42 ARMAGEDDON...
• 04:44 A CHARIOT CITY...
• 04:46 AMONG OTHER THINGS A PLACE
• 04:47 THAT HAS BEEN A SANCTUARY
• 04:49 FOR MANY A KING
• 04:51 AS EVIDENCED BY LAYER UPON LAYER
• 04:54 THAT HARKS TO KINGS THAT CAME HERE,
• 04:56 SECURED, RE-SECURED AND DEVELOPED THIS PIECE OF LAND.
• 05:02 THIS PIECE OF LAND IS A FASCINATING PIECE BY THE WAY.
• 05:05 IT EXTENDS ON THE ONE HAND OVER TOWARD EGYPT.
• 05:08 THIS PROMISED LAND THEN EXTENDS UPWARD TOWARD THE EUPHRATES
• 05:12 AND IT EXTENDS EASTWARD BY THE WAY
• 05:14 BEYOND WHAT WE CALL THE "JORDAN RIVER" TODAY.
• 05:18 IT'S A PIECE OF LAND THAT WAS GIVEN TO A PARTICULAR PERSON.
• 05:21 AS I NOTED A MINUTE AGO,
• 05:22 A PROMISED LAND.
• 05:25 OH, IT'S ONE THING
• 05:26 TO SAY THAT IT'S MINE,
• 05:27 ITS ANOTHER THING
• 05:28 TO HOLD OFF BELLIGERENTS
• 05:30 THAT ARE MINDED TO SAY THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
• 05:32 AND THAT TENSION...
• 05:33 THAT BACK AND FORTH
• 05:34 HAS BEEN THE STORY OF THE AGES
• 05:35 WHICH IS WHY, BY THE WAY,
• 05:37 WHEN YOU LOOK WITH ME IN THE BOOK OF CHRONICLES,
• 05:40 II CHRONICLES CHAPTER 9, VERSE 25,
• 05:43 WE'RE TOLD THAT SOLOMON,
• 05:45 WHO UNDER HIS ADMINISTRATION THE KINGDOM REALLY WAS EXPANDED.
• 05:48 IT HAD DIMINISHED SOME AFTERWARD.
• 05:50 UNDER HIS ADMINISTRATION
• 05:52 WE SPEAK HERE OF THOUSANDS OF STALLS FOR HORSES, FOR CHARIOTS.
• 05:56 AND IT'S SOLOMON WHO WILL PARTICIPATE
• 05:59 IN WHAT WE CALL "CHARIOT CITIES" HERE IN THE BIBLICAL TEXT.
• 06:02 AND WHY IS THAT?
• 06:03 BECAUSE FROM CITIES LIKE THIS
• 06:06 AND ALONG ROADS LIKE THIS
• 06:08 FORCES HAD TO GO OUT TO PROTECT THE WORLD FROM BELLIGERENTS.
• 06:12 AND SOLOMON DID THAT DURING HIS ADMINISTRATION CERTAINLY.
• 06:15 WE'RE TOLD THAT, FORTIFIED AS HE WAS, AND STRENGTHENED AS HE WAS
• 06:20 BY CERTAIN OUTPOST CITIES LIKE THIS,
• 06:22 WE'RE TOLD THAT SOLOMON REIGNED IN VERSE 26
• 06:26 OVER ALL THE KINGS FROM THE RIVER.
• 06:29 AND THE RIVER HERE IS HARKING TO THE EUPHRATES RIVER.
• 06:34 THE WORD "EBREW" OR "HEBREW" MEANS "BEYOND THE RIVER"
• 06:39 AND THE ANCESTORS CAME FROM BEYOND THE RIVER
• 06:41 AND SECURED A PLACE HERE
• 06:43 THAT WAS BEQUEATHED BY GOD IN THE LAND OF CANAAN.
• 06:46 AND HERE WE'RE TOLD
• 06:48 THAT THE REIGN OF SOLOMON
• 06:50 EXTENDED UP TO THE RIVER ON THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN FRONT
• 06:55 TO THE LAND OF THE PHILISTINES.
• 06:59 AND THIS HARKS, BY THE WAY,
• 07:00 TO THE AREAS THAT RUN ALONG THE SEA
• 07:03 WHERE THERE WAS SOME MAJOR CITIES THERE.
• 07:06 "GATH" IS MADE FAMILIAR BECAUSE OF GOLIATH;
• 07:09 "ASHKELON", "ASHDOD" AND OTHERS...
• 07:12 THE PHILISTINE NEVER HAD SWAY OVER THIS WHOLE REGION
• 07:15 BUT THEY DID HAVE A TOE HOLD OF IT.
• 07:16 BUT HERE THE CHRONICLER WANTS TO SAY ON THE ONE HAND
• 07:19 THE KINGDOM EXTENDED UP TO THE EUPHRATES
• 07:21 AND THEN IN CANAAN PROPER,
• 07:23 THE COASTLINE AREAS WHAT HE CALLS
• 07:26 WHERE THE PHILISTINE REIGNS
• 07:28 AND THEN HE NOTES AS WELL
• 07:29 AS FAR AS THE BORDER OF EGYPT.
• 07:33 THERE'S A RIVER THERE THAT DEMARCATES THE BORDER
• 07:36 AND IT SHOWS SOMETHING OF AN EXPANDED KINGDOM,
• 07:39 A KINGDOM THAT GOD GAVE TO A PARTICULAR PEOPLE...
• 07:42 AVARAM...ABRAHAM...
• 07:44 WHOM THE LORD SAID,
• 07:45 "COME WITH ME ON A JOURNEY TO A LAND THAT I WILL SHOW YOU".
• 07:49 AND ABRAHAM ROLLED THE DICE AGAINST AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE
• 07:52 AND HE CAME AND WALKED THIS LAND.
• 07:55 AND NOW, SOME CENTURIES LATER...
• 07:57 NOW...I MEAN I'M HARKING BACK TO SOLOMON'S ERA.
• 08:00 MANY THINGS HAVE HAPPENED SINCE
• 08:02 BUT WE SEE THE STORY
• 08:04 OF GOD WATCHING OVER HIS WORD TO PERFORM IT
• 08:07 AS A CERTAIN PEOPLE STRUGGLE
• 08:09 AGAINST SINS IN THEIR OWN PERSONS,
• 08:11 AGAINST CIRCUMSTANCES THAT IMPOSE UPON THEM.
• 08:14 DIFFICULTIES, STRUGGLES, TRIALS AND ALL...
• 08:16 GOD WATCHES OVER HIS WORD TO PERFORM IT
• 08:20 TO GIVE THIS LAND TO A PEOPLE
• 08:25 AND TO SECURE HIS PEOPLE IN HIS LAND
• 08:29 AS A TESTIMONY TO HIS GREATNESS...
• 08:31 GREATNESS THAT EXTENDED TO THE PAST,
• 08:34 TO THE PRESENT
• 08:35 AND THAT WILL BE KNOWN THE MORE SO IN THE FUTURE
• 08:38 AS WE CONSIDER THE TESTIMONY OF GOD AT WORK IN THE WORLD HERE
• 08:42 "B'ERETZ YISRAEL"...
• 08:45 "IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL".

• 09:35 (JEFF SPEAKING)
• 09:37 THIS IS THE BEAUTIFUL GOLAN HEIGHTS IN NORTHERN ISRAEL,
• 09:41 AN IMPORTANT PART OF DAVID AND SOLOMON'S KINGDOM NEARLY 3,000 YEARS AGO.
• 09:46 AS NOTED ON RECENT PROGRAMS
• 09:48 THIS LAND WAS ALSO INCLUDED
• 09:50 IN GOD'S COVENANT WITH MOSES AND JOSHUA
• 09:53 AS AN INHERITANCE FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
• 09:56 DAVID DOLAN JOINS US NOW FROM THIS STRATEGIC SITE
• 10:00 WHERE HE CONTINUES HIS CHRONOLOGY
• 10:02 OF THE MODERN STATE OF ISRAEL.
• 10:06 I'M STANDING IN AN ISRAELI
• 10:07 ARMY BUNKER ON THE GOLAN HEIGHTS
• 10:09 ON ONE OF THE
• 10:10 HIGHEST HILLS HERE.
• 10:11 BEHIND ME IS DAMASCUS AND SYRIA
• 10:13 ABOUT 35 MILES AWAY.
• 10:14 WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THEM
• 10:16 IN A FEW MINUTES.
• 10:17 IN THE EARLY 1950'S...
• 10:19 650,000 JEWS CAME TO THIS LAND FROM ARAB COUNTRIES,
• 10:23 MANY OF THEM KICKED OUT IN ANGER
• 10:25 BECAUSE THE ARABS WERE SO UPSET
• 10:27 THAT THE STATE OF ISRAEL HAD BEEN REBORN.
• 10:29 AND THEY SETTLED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
• 10:31 MEANWHILE ARAB TERROR ATTACKS INCREASED.
• 10:33 OVER 1,000 JEWS WERE KILLED BETWEEN 1951 AND 55...
• 10:37 400 OF THEM FROM THE GAZA STRIP.
• 10:40 MEANWHILE IN EGYPT
• 10:41 GAMAL NASSER FORGED TIES
• 10:43 WITH THE SOVIET UNION
• 10:44 AND STARTED TO RECEIVE WEAPONS FROM THEM.
• 10:47 HE NATIONALIZED THE SUEZ CANAL WHICH THE BRITISH HAD BUILT
• 10:50 ANGERING BRITAIN VERY, VERY MUCH.
• 10:52 A SECRET PLAN WAS DEVISED
• 10:54 BETWEEN BRITAIN, FRANCE AND ISRAEL
• 10:56 TO STRIKE AT EGYPTIAN FORCES
• 10:59 IN THE GAZA STRIP
• 11:00 AND THE SINAI PENINSULA
• 11:01 AND GET BACK THE SUEZ CANAL.
• 11:03 IN OCTOBER 29, 1956
• 11:05 THAT WAR BEGUN.
• 11:07 BUT THE UNITED STATES,
• 11:09 DWIGHT EISENHOWER,
• 11:10 WAS VERY UPSET OVER THIS.
• 11:11 HE FEARED AND EAST-WEST CLASH,
• 11:13 A SUPER POWER WAR
• 11:14 AND HE BASICALLY ORDERED FRANCE AND BRITAIN
• 11:17 TO CALL OFF THEIR FORCES
• 11:18 AND ISRAEL TO STOP ITS OFFENSIVE.
• 11:20 THE ISRAELIS HAD GOTTEN ALL THE WAY TO THE SUEZ CANAL.
• 11:23 AND IN EARLY NOVEMBER
• 11:25 A CEASE FIRE WAS DECLARED
• 11:26 AND BY MARCH THE NEXT YEAR
• 11:28 ISRAELI FORCES HAD COMPLETELY WITHDRAWN FROM THE LAND THEY CAPTURED,
• 11:31 THE GAZA STRIP
• 11:32 AND THE SINAI PENINSULA.
• 11:34 IN THE SUMMER OF 1964
• 11:36 THE ARAB COUNTRIES
• 11:37 AND THE PALESTINIANS
• 11:38 MET TOGETHER IN JERUSALEM
• 11:39 TO FORM A NEW ORGANIZATION,
• 11:40 THE PALESTINE LIBERATION ORGANIZATION.
• 11:43 YASSER ARAFAT WAS THE HEAD
• 11:44 OF THE LARGEST FACTION.
• 11:46 IN 1965 AND 66
• 11:48 THE SYRIANS STEPPED UP THEIR ATTACKS
• 11:49 ON THE JEWISH COMMUNITIES IN THE HULA VALLEY BELOW
• 11:52 FROM THIS GOLAN HEIGHTS.
• 11:54 IN APRIL OF 1967
• 11:56 THEY ACTUALLY DESTROYED
• 11:57 AN ENTIRE KIBBUTZ,
• 11:58 KIBBUTZ GADOT.
• 12:00 THERE WERE AIR BATTLES,
• 12:01 THERE WERE TANK BATTLES.
• 12:02 MEANWHILE, DOWN IN EGYPT,
• 12:03 NASSER WAS VOWING OPENLY
• 12:05 THAT HE WOULD DESTROY ISRAEL.
• 12:07 HE ORDERED UN FORCES
• 12:09 WITHDRAWN FROM THE SINAI PENINSULA IN MAY OF 67
• 12:12 HE BLOCKADED THE ISRAELI PORT OF ELATH
• 12:14 WHICH IS AN ACT OF WAR.
• 12:16 AND HE TOLD THE WORLD,
• 12:17 "WE'RE GOING TO ATTACK ISRAEL".
• 12:19 HE MADE ALLIANCES WITH IRAQ,
• 12:21 WITH SYRIA, WITH JORDAN,
• 12:22 WITH OTHER ARAB COUNTRIES.
• 12:23 THE ISRAELIS WERE FACING FORCES
• 12:25 THREE TIMES AS LARGE AS THEY HAD...
• 12:27 TANK FORCES,
• 12:28 THE AIR FORCES...
• 12:29 ALL SUPPLIED BY THE SOVIET UNION.
• 12:31 THEY FEARED THEY WOULD BE DESTROYED.
• 12:33 SO THEY TOOK A DECISION TO TAKE THE FIRST STRIKE.
• 12:35 IN A CAREFULLY CALIBRATED ATTACK
• 12:38 THEY STRUCK THE EGYPTIAN AIR FORCE IN ITS BASES...
• 12:40 15 LOCATIONS...
• 12:41 WIPED OUT 90 PER CENT OF EGYPTIAN AIR FORCE.
• 12:44 THEY DID THE SAME THING BEHIND ME HERE IN SYRIA
• 12:46 LATER THAT AFTERNOON.
• 12:48 THEIR ENEMIES WERE DEFENSELESS FROM THE AIR EFFECTIVELY.
• 12:51 IT ONLY TOOK 2 DAYS
• 12:52 FOR ISRAEL TO CAPTURE THE OLD CITY OF JERUSALEM.
• 12:55 AND BY JUNE 10TH,
• 12:56 JUST 5 DAYS AFTER THE WAR BEGAN
• 12:58 THEY HAD CAPTURED THIS ENTIRE GOLAN HEIGHTS,
• 13:00 THE ENTIRE WEST BANK
• 13:01 AND THE ENTIRE SINAI PENINSULA
• 13:03 UP TO THE SUEZ CANAL.
• 13:05 THE ARAB WORLD WAS SHOCKED
• 13:07 BY ISRAEL'S LIGHTNING VICTORY
• 13:09 IN THE SIX DAY WAR.
• 13:10 THE SOVIETS WERE HUMILIATED
• 13:11 AND THEY BROKE ALL DIPLOMATIC TIES WITH ISRAEL.
• 13:14 ISRAEL THOUGH OFFERED TO PULL OUT OF MOST OF THE TERRITORY IT CAPTURED.
• 13:18 THE ARAB LEADERS MET IN SEPTEMBER IN KHARTOUM
• 13:20 AND SAID, "NO NEGOTIATIONS..."
• 13:22 "NO PEACE WITH ISRAEL..."
• 13:23 "ISRAEL MUST BE DESTROYED."
• 13:25 RIGHT AFTER THAT
• 13:26 A WAR BEGAN CALLED
• 13:27 "THE WAR OF ATTRITION"...
• 13:28 THE EGYPTIANS STRIKING ISRAELI FORCES ALMOST EVERY DAY
• 13:31 AND HUNDREDS OF SOLDIERS WERE KILLED
• 13:32 UNTIL THAT ENDED IN THE SUMMER OF 1970.
• 13:35 THE NEXT WAR WOULD BE THE YOM KIPPUR WAR.
• 13:37 THIS TIME THE ARABS DIDN'T ANNOUNCE IT IN ADVANCE.
• 13:40 THEY MADE SECRET PLANS
• 13:41 TO STRIKE ISRAEL
• 13:42 ON THE HOLIEST DAY OF ITS YEAR...
• 13:43 YOM KIPPUR...
• 13:44 WHEN MOST JEWS ARE FASTING...
• 13:45 TELEVISION AND RADIO IS SHUT DOWN.
• 13:48 AT NOON THE SIRENS WENT OFF
• 13:49 ON OCTOBER 6, 1973
• 13:51 SIGNALING THAT ANOTHER WAR
• 13:53 WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN.
• 13:54 MEN ALL OVER THE COUNTRY RUSHED TO THEIR POSITIONS
• 13:56 AND IN 2:00 PM IN THE AFTERNOON
• 13:58 THE WAR BEGAN.
• 13:59 ISRAEL THIS TIME WAS ON THE RUN.
• 14:01 THEY WERE PUSHED OFF OF MOST OF THIS GOLAN HEIGHTS.
• 14:04 THEY WERE PUSHED BACK IN THE SINAI ALMOST TO THEIR BORDERS.
• 14:07 IT WAS A TERRIBLE WAR WITH VERY HIGH CASUALTIES.
• 14:10 BUT BY THE SECOND WEEK OF THE WAR
• 14:12 ISRAEL WAS TURNING THE TIDE
• 14:14 WITH HELP FROM THE UNITED STATES.
• 14:15 THE SOVIETS WERE VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS
• 14:17 AND ON OCTOBER 25TH
• 14:19 THEY BEGAN LOADING THEIR OWN FORCES INTO AIRCRAFT
• 14:21 WITH OBJECT OF COMING HERE...
• 14:23 THEIR OWN MEN ON THE GROUND
• 14:25 TO AID SYRIA AND EGYPT.
• 14:27 THE UNITED STATES CALLED A NUCLEAR ALERT
• 14:29 IN RESPONSE TO THAT
• 14:30 AND THE SOVIETS BACKED DOWN
• 14:32 AND A CEASE FIRE WAS DECLARED.
• 14:34 BUT ISRAEL LOST OVER 2,300 SOLDIERS IN THAT WAR
• 14:38 WITH MANY, MANY MORE CASUALTIES.
• 14:39 AND THE GOVERNMENT OF ISRAEL,
• 14:41 HUMILIATED BY THIS DEFEAT,
• 14:43 INITIAL DEFEAT AT LEAST,
• 14:44 WOULD LATER BE TOSSED OUT OF OFFICE
• 14:47 AND THE LIKUD PARTY WOULD RISE TO POWER...
• 14:49 THE LABOR PARTY THAT HAD RULED SINCE 1948 WOULD BE FINISHED.
• 15:08 FOR THE LORD THY GOD BRINGETH THEE INTO A GOOD LAND...
• 15:13 A LAND OF FIG TREES AND POMEGRANATES...
• 15:17 A LAND OF OLIVE OIL AND HONEY.
• 15:19 ARISE...
• 15:22 WALK THROUGH THE LAND...
• 15:24 FOR ALL THE LAND WHICH THOU SEEST
• 15:27 TO THEE WILL I GIVE IT
• 15:29 AND TO THY SEED FOREVER.
• 15:32 WORSHIP IN THE SHADOWS OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB.

• 17:49 WE WANT TO SEND YOU...
• 17:50 SPEAKING OF WHICH...
• 17:52 DAVID DOLAN AND I SPEAK OF STORIES OF RECENT BATTLES
• 17:54 IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
• 17:59 DAVID,
• 18:00 IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
• 18:01 "YAKOV" OR "JAMES"
• 18:02 SPOKE OF THE QUESTION
• 18:03 WHAT CAUSES WARS
• 18:04 AND HE SAID THERE ARE PASSIONS WITHIN
• 18:06 THAT ARE EXPRESSED THROUGH WAR.
• 18:08 WE SEE A LOT OF THAT HERE DON'T WE?
• 18:10 WE DEFINITELY DO JEFF
• 18:12 AND YOU KNOW I WAS REVIEWING THE SINAI WAR
• 18:15 AND THE SIX DAY WAR
• 18:16 AND THE YOM KIPPUR WAR
• 18:18 AND I EMPHASIZED
• 18:19 THAT NASSER, THE EGYPTIAN LEADER
• 18:22 WHO GOT THE FORCES TOGETHER
• 18:24 IN 67 AND 73...
• 18:26 HE WAS QUOTING
• 18:27 FROM THE KORAN MOSTLY.
• 18:29 AND THE TRUTH IS
• 18:30 HE WAS A SOCIALIST.
• 18:31 HE WASN'T A RELIGIOUS MAN
• 18:32 BUT HE USED THE FORCE
• 18:34 OF THAT RELIGION
• 18:35 TO GET ALL OF HIS PEOPLE,
• 18:37 FRANKLY, RILED UP...
• 18:39 THERE CANNOT BE A JEWISH STATE
• 18:40 BECAUSE ISLAM IS THE
• 18:41 FINAL REVOLUTION OF TRUTH
• 18:43 AND THEREFORE
• 18:44 WE HAVE TO HAVE THIS WAR.
• 18:45 AND IT BROUGHT TOGETHER
• 18:47 IN THE CASE OF THE SIX DAY WAR
• 18:48 SIX DIFFERENT NATIONS.
• 18:49 AND THE 73 WAR WE HAD
• 18:51 ALL SORTS OF PARTICIPATION.
• 18:52 THAT'S MODERNITY IN BIBLICAL ANTIQUITY...
• 18:54 THE EGYPTIANS SWEPT UP TO MEGIDDO AS WELL
• 18:57 AND IT'S JUST A NEVER ENDING STORY ISN'T IT?
• 19:00 NOTHING IS NEW UNDER THE SUN
• 19:02 IN THAT SENSE.
• 19:03 AND IT'S REALLY TRUE.
• 19:04 AND I THINK THE ROOT CAUSE
• 19:06 IS THE DESIRE OF SATAN TO
• 19:08 NOT SEE THE BIBLE FULFILLED...
• 19:11 NOT SEE THE MESSIAH COME...
• 19:12 NOT SEE HIM COME AGAIN...
• 19:13 AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE AS YOU WELL KNOW,
• 19:15 BEING PART OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 19:17 ARE THE SYMBOL ON EARTH OF THE VERACITY OF THE SCRIPTURES.
• 19:21 AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY THE ROOT CAUSE OF SO MUCH OF THIS.
• 19:24 I'M INCLINED TO AGREE.
• 19:25 IF THERE'S A SPAT...
• 19:26 IF THERE'S A WAR AND MISUNDERSTANDING
• 19:28 IF IT HAPPENED ONCE BUT CYCLICAL THROUGH NATURE OVER THOUSANDS OF YEARS
• 19:32 FROM THE BIBLICAL PAGES
• 19:33 TO THE PAGES OF MODERN NEWSPAPERS
• 19:35 ITS GOT TO BE MORE SPIRITUAL THAN MATERIAL.
• 19:38 AND LIKE YOU SAID
• 19:39 A ROOT CAUSE IN A KIND OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
• 19:42 WELL YOU KNOW WE HAVE
• 19:44 THE UN PARTITION PLAN IN 1948
• 19:46 OFFERING THE PALESTINIANS
• 19:47 A STATE.
• 19:48 AND WHERE ARE WE 60 SOME YEARS LATER?
• 19:50 WE HAVE A PARTITION PLAN.
• 19:52 LET'S HAVE A PALESTINIAN STATE HERE
• 19:53 AND LET'S HAVE AN ISRAELI STATE....
• 19:55 AND NOTHING'S BEEN RESOLVED IN BETWEEN.
• 19:57 AND THAT'S JUST 60 YEARS
• 19:58 BUT REALLY YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 6,000 YEARS ALMOST
• 20:00 AND IT HAS BEEN A REPEATING CYCLE ALL ALONG.
• 20:03 AND ITS RESOLUTION AWAITS A DIPLOMAT
• 20:06 GREATER THAN WHATEVER POLITICIAN MIGHT APPEAR.
• 20:08 THE ANTI-CHRIST WILL LAY SIEGE TO THE CLAIM TO MAKE PEACE
• 20:11 BUT REALLY IT WILL TAKE EMERGENCE OF THE "PRINCE OF PEACE" TO SETTLE ALL THIS.
• 20:14 DON'T YOU THINK?
• 20:15 I ABSOLUTELY AGREE.
• 20:16 COVERING THESE WARS AS A JOURNALIST
• 20:18 AND SEEING THE DIPLOMATS COME AND GO,
• 20:20 THE DIFFERENT PRESIDENTS
• 20:21 AND THE DIFFERENT SPECIAL ENVOYS
• 20:22 FROM EUROPE AND THE VATICAN, ETC.
• 20:24 AND WE'RE STILL AT THE SAME PLACE.
• 20:26 COVERING THIS AS A BIBLICAL THEOLOGIAN
• 20:28 I SAY "COME LORD JESUS"!
• 20:29 AMEN
• 20:33 HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED WHEN YOU
• 20:36 OPEN UP YOUR BIBLES AT THE BACK
• 20:37 AND LOOK AT A MAP
• 20:39 MORE TIMES THAN NOT
• 20:40 IT REFERS TO THE LAND OF ISRAEL
• 20:41 AS PALESTINE.
• 20:44 QUESTION...
• 20:45 WHAT DEVIL EVER SLIPPED THAT IN THERE!
• 20:48 THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE THE BIBLE DOES NOT REFER TO THE LAND AS "PALESTINE".
• 20:55 CHRISTIAN THEOLOGIANS DO AND THEY'RE PROUD TO DO IT
• 20:57 BUT THAT'S POLITICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY DRIVEN IT SEEMS TO ME.
• 21:01 WHEN THE LORD BROUGHT HIS PEOPLE INTO THAT LAND
• 21:04 THERE WAS A NAME GIVEN...
• 21:06 THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
• 21:08 WELL WHERE DID PALESTINE COME FROM?
• 21:12 WE INTERVIEW A PROFESSOR IN ISRAEL WHO EXPLAINS.
• 21:19 AFTER THE BAR KOCHBA REVOLT
• 21:21 IN THE 2ND CENTURY A.D.
• 21:24 WHEN THE ROMANS WAS TO CHANGE
• 21:26 THE CHARACTER OF THE LAND
• 21:28 FROM THE LAND OF THE JEWS
• 21:30 TO THE LAND WITHOUT JEWS,
• 21:33 WITHOUT A CONTROLLING BY JEWS,
• 21:36 THEY STARTED TO CALL THE LAND
• 21:39 "THE PROVINCE OF PALESTINE".
• 21:41 AND THE MUSLIMS TOOK THIS ANCIENT NAME
• 21:47 FROM THE 2ND CENTURY A.D.
• 21:49 AND USED IT AS THEIR HOME.
• 21:53 WHEN THE ARABS CAME HERE,
• 21:57 WHEN THE MUSLIMS CAME HERE
• 21:59 IN THE 7TH CENTURY A.D.
• 22:01 WHICH IS VERY LATE IN RELATIVITY TO THE JEWISH HISTORY,
• 22:05 THE 7TH CENTURY A.D. IS VERY ANTIQUE IN THE AMERICANS POINT OF VIEW
• 22:11 BUT HERE IN ISRAEL... 700'S...IT'S NOT MUCH.
• 22:16 THEY USED NAME...
• 22:19 THEY CALLED THIS "THE LAND OF ISRAEL"...
• 22:20 THEY CALLED IT A "JUDE PALESTINE".
• 22:22 THE WAS THE OFFICIAL NAME OF THE ARABS AND THE TURKISH AND THE BRITISH
• 22:28 UNTIL WHEN THE STATE OF ISRAEL WAS BORN.
• 22:46 ♪PROMISED BY JEHOVAH THROUGH HIS PROPHETS♪
• 22:53 ♪HOW THEY WEPT FOR YOU MY ISRAEL...♪
• 22:59 ♪ISRAEL...♪
• 23:01 ♪IS...RA...EL♪
• 23:08 ♪IN THAT DAY THE LORD WILL COME♪
• 23:10 ♪AND ALL WILL BOW BEFORE THE THRONE OF HE WHO IS THE KING.♪
• 23:21 ♪ISRAEL THE PROMISED LAND WILL SEE HIS KINGDOM COME.♪
• 24:11 ♪IN THAT DAY THE LORD WILL COME♪
• 24:13 ♪AND ALL WILL BOW BEFORE THE THRONE OF HE WHO IS THE KING.♪
• 24:24 ♪ISRAEL THE PROMISED LAND WILL SEE HIS KINGDOM...♪
• 24:31 ♪COME!♪
• 24:53 WELL YOU KNOW THEY SAY THAT MUSIC TAMES THE SAVAGE BEAST.
• 24:58 AND ZOLA'S PIECE HAS A CALMING EFFECT ON AN OTHERWISE UNHAPPY CAMPER.
• 25:06 I AM CHAGRINED BY THE WAY TRENDS AND CULTURE WANT TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT
• 25:13 AND CALL WHAT IS ISRAEL "PALESTINE".
• 25:17 AT BEST THE PHILISTINE,
• 25:18 THE ANCIENT,
• 25:20 THOSE WHO WERE THE ANCIENT PHILISTINES
• 25:23 JUST HAD A LITTLE TOEHOLD
• 25:24 IN THE REGION HERE,
• 25:26 NEVER MIND ISRAEL PROPER.
• 25:28 IN FACT THIS IS ISRAEL UNDER THE DAYS...
• 25:30 UNDER THE ADMINISTRATION RATHER
• 25:32 OF DAVID AND SOLOMON
• 25:34 AND NOW MODERN ISRAEL
• 25:36 IS JUST A SMALL PART OF THAT.
• 25:38 AND WHAT WAS THE PHILISTINE HOLDINGS...
• 25:40 AND THE PHILISTINES WERE SEA FARING PEOPLE,
• 25:42 NOT SAND FARING PEOPLE OF ISLAMIC PERSUASION...
• 25:45 THEY JUST HAD A LITTLE TOEHOLD THERE.
• 25:48 SO MUCH DECEIT...
• 25:50 IT IS SICKENING BY THE WAY...
• 25:53 I USED TO THINK IT WAS JUST PROBLEMATIC IGNORANCE
• 25:55 BUT REALLY IT'S DIABOLICAL
• 25:57 AND THOSE THAT ARE MINISTERS AND PROFESSORS THAT ADVOCATE
• 26:00 FOR CALLING THIS REAL ESTATE "PALESTINE"
• 26:03 FOR MY MONEY THEY ALL SHOULD BE SUED FOR MALPRACTICE.
• 26:06 IT'S NOT BEYOND THE PALE OF REASON FOR BIBLE TEACHERS TO USE BIBLE LANGUAGE.
• 26:12 JESUS REFERRED TO THE LAND AS "ISRAEL"
• 26:14 SPEAKING OF WHICH,
• 26:16 NEXT WEEK WE'RE GOING TO HERE FROM HIM
