• 00:09 LOOK TO THE NORTH
• 00:12 THE SOUTH
• 00:15 THE EAST
• 00:18 THE WEST
• 00:26 ALL THE LAND WHICH THOU SEEST
• 00:28 TO THEE WILL I GIVE IT
• 00:30 AND TO THY SEED FOREVER.
• 00:35 INDEED... HE WHO WATCHES OVER ISRAEL WILL NEITHER SLUMBER NOR SLEEP.
• 00:56 HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
• 00:58 JEFFREY SEIF HERE
• 00:59 WITH ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 01:01 THIS TIME THE 6TH OF AN 8 PART SERIES CALLED "ERETZ ISRAEL".
• 01:07 "ERETZ"...WHAT'S THAT?...
• 01:09 YOU SPEAKING IN TONGUES BUDDY?
• 01:11 YES,THAT'S THE HEBREW TONGUE.
• 01:13 IT MEANS "LAND".
• 01:14 AND WE'RE TAKING YOU THERE.
• 01:17 NOT JUST THERE
• 01:18 BUT TODAY A FASCINATING PLACE THERE CALLED ARMAGEDDON.
• 01:23 HEBREW "HAR" MEANS "MOUNTAIN"
• 01:26 AND "MEGIDDO" IT'S A PLACE WHERE MANY BATTLES WERE FOUGHT.
• 01:30 SPEAKING OF WHICH NOW WE'LL BEGIN WITH ANCIENT BATTLES WITH THE PHILISTINES
• 01:35 AS WE CONSIDER WARS LONG AGO.
• 01:42 KING DAVID SITS ON HIS THRONE
• 01:45 KNOWING FULL WELL THAT HIS KINGDOM HAD NOT COME EASILY;
• 01:48 ACCEPT BY THE STRENGTH OF THE LORD.
• 01:51 AND IT CAME TO PASS THAT DAVID SMOTE THE PHILISTINES AND SUBDUED THEM.
• 01:56 AND HE SMOTE MOAB.
• 01:58 AND HE SLEWED THE SYRIANS TWO AND TWENTY THOUSAND MEN.
• 02:03 AND ALL THEY OF EDOM BECAME DAVID'S SERVANTS
• 02:07 AND THE LORD PRESERVED DAVID WITHER SO EVER HE WENT.
• 02:12 AND DAVID REIGNED OVER ALL ISRAEL
• 02:15 AND DAVID EXECUTED JUDGMENT AND JUSTICE UNTO ALL HIS PEOPLE.
• 02:20 AND DAVID'S SONS WERE CHIEF RULERS.
• 02:28 THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF WARS
• 02:30 AND RUMORS OF WARS
• 02:31 BUT FOR DAVID
• 02:32 IT WAS MORE THAN JUST A RUMOR
• 02:34 CAUSE HE FORGED OUT A KINGDOM BY DINT OF HIS DETERMINATION
• 02:38 AND WITH GOD'S HELP OF COURSE, HIM BEING THE ANOINTED ONE OF GOD.
• 02:42 WELL RIGHT HERE, ARMAGEDDON,
• 02:44 HIS SON SOLOMON LEARNED ABOUT THAT AND MORE.
• 02:48 COME WITH ME NOW
• 02:49 AS WE GO OFF TO ARMAGEDDON.
• 03:26 DAVID CARVED IT OUT...
• 03:28 SOLOMON SOLIDIFIED IT.
• 03:30 TO WHAT EXACTLY AM I REFERRING?
• 03:33 LET ME SHOW YOU.
• 03:42 SOLOMON'S KINGDOM
• 03:44 THERE'S SOMETHING OF A VAST EXPANSE.
• 03:46 MEGIDDO IS SOMETHING AT THE HEARTLAND OF IT.
• 03:49 HE HAD TO FORTIFY, DEFEND AND USE THIS
• 03:53 TO HOLD OFF INVADING FORCES FROM THE NORTH AND FROM THE EAST.
• 03:57 INTO MEGIDDO WE'LL GO.
• 04:20 IT'S CALLED "THE PROMISED LAND"
• 04:23 AND THE REASON WHY IT'S CALLED "THE PROMISED LAND"
• 04:25 IS BECAUSE GOD PROMISED THAT LAND.
• 04:27 AND HE PROMISED IT TO A PARTICULAR PEOPLE
• 04:31 WHO WERE DESTINED TO MAKE A BID AT A PARTICULAR PLACE.
• 04:35 AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO FIGHT TO SECURE A TOEHOLD IN A REGION
• 04:39 YOU'RE GOING TO NEED SPACE TO FIGHT FROM.
• 04:42 HENCE, MEGIDDO HERE...
• 04:43 ARMAGEDDON...
• 04:45 A CHARIOT CITY...
• 04:47 AMONG OTHER THINGS A PLACE
• 04:48 THAT HAS BEEN A SANCTUARY
• 04:50 FOR MANY A KING
• 04:52 AS EVIDENCED BY LAYER UPON LAYER
• 04:55 THAT HARKS TO KINGS THAT CAME HERE,
• 04:57 SECURED, RE-SECURED AND DEVELOPED THIS PIECE OF LAND.
• 05:03 THIS PIECE OF LAND IS A FASCINATING PIECE BY THE WAY.
• 05:06 IT EXTENDS ON THE ONE HAND OVER TOWARD EGYPT.
• 05:09 THIS PROMISED LAND THEN EXTENDS UPWARD TOWARD THE EUPHRATES
• 05:13 AND IT EXTENDS EASTWARD BY THE WAY
• 05:15 BEYOND WHAT WE CALL THE "JORDAN RIVER" TODAY.
• 05:19 IT'S A PIECE OF LAND THAT WAS GIVEN TO A PARTICULAR PERSON.
• 05:22 AS I NOTED A MINUTE AGO,
• 05:23 A PROMISED LAND.
• 05:26 OH, IT'S ONE THING
• 05:27 TO SAY THAT IT'S MINE,
• 05:28 ITS ANOTHER THING
• 05:29 TO HOLD OFF BELLIGERENTS
• 05:31 THAT ARE MINDED TO SAY THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
• 05:33 AND THAT TENSION...
• 05:34 THAT BACK AND FORTH
• 05:35 HAS BEEN THE STORY OF THE AGES
• 05:36 WHICH IS WHY, BY THE WAY,
• 05:38 WHEN YOU LOOK WITH ME IN THE BOOK OF CHRONICLES,
• 05:41 II CHRONICLES CHAPTER 9, VERSE 25,
• 05:44 WE'RE TOLD THAT SOLOMON,
• 05:46 WHO UNDER HIS ADMINISTRATION THE KINGDOM REALLY WAS EXPANDED.
• 05:49 IT HAD DIMINISHED SOME AFTERWARD.
• 05:51 UNDER HIS ADMINISTRATION
• 05:53 WE SPEAK HERE OF THOUSANDS OF STALLS FOR HORSES, FOR CHARIOTS.
• 05:57 AND IT'S SOLOMON WHO WILL PARTICIPATE
• 06:00 IN WHAT WE CALL "CHARIOT CITIES" HERE IN THE BIBLICAL TEXT.
• 06:03 AND WHY IS THAT?
• 06:04 BECAUSE FROM CITIES LIKE THIS
• 06:07 AND ALONG ROADS LIKE THIS
• 06:09 FORCES HAD TO GO OUT TO PROTECT THE WORLD FROM BELLIGERENTS.
• 06:13 AND SOLOMON DID THAT DURING HIS ADMINISTRATION CERTAINLY.
• 06:16 WE'RE TOLD THAT, FORTIFIED AS HE WAS, AND STRENGTHENED AS HE WAS
• 06:21 BY CERTAIN OUTPOST CITIES LIKE THIS,
• 06:23 WE'RE TOLD THAT SOLOMON REIGNED IN VERSE 26
• 06:27 OVER ALL THE KINGS FROM THE RIVER.
• 06:30 AND THE RIVER HERE IS HARKING TO THE EUPHRATES RIVER.
• 06:35 THE WORD "EBREW" OR "HEBREW" MEANS "BEYOND THE RIVER"
• 06:40 AND THE ANCESTORS CAME FROM BEYOND THE RIVER
• 06:42 AND SECURED A PLACE HERE
• 06:44 THAT WAS BEQUEATHED BY GOD IN THE LAND OF CANAAN.
• 06:47 AND HERE WE'RE TOLD
• 06:49 THAT THE REIGN OF SOLOMON
• 06:51 EXTENDED UP TO THE RIVER ON THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN FRONT
• 06:56 TO THE LAND OF THE PHILISTINES.
• 07:00 AND THIS HARKS, BY THE WAY,
• 07:01 TO THE AREAS THAT RUN ALONG THE SEA
• 07:04 WHERE THERE WAS SOME MAJOR CITIES THERE.
• 07:07 "GATH" IS MADE FAMILIAR BECAUSE OF GOLIATH;
• 07:10 "ASHKELON", "ASHDOD" AND OTHERS...
• 07:13 THE PHILISTINE NEVER HAD SWAY OVER THIS WHOLE REGION
• 07:16 BUT THEY DID HAVE A TOE HOLD OF IT.
• 07:17 BUT HERE THE CHRONICLER WANTS TO SAY ON THE ONE HAND
• 07:20 THE KINGDOM EXTENDED UP TO THE EUPHRATES
• 07:22 AND THEN IN CANAAN PROPER,
• 07:24 THE COASTLINE AREAS WHAT HE CALLS
• 07:27 WHERE THE PHILISTINE REIGNS
• 07:29 AND THEN HE NOTES AS WELL
• 07:30 AS FAR AS THE BORDER OF EGYPT.
• 07:34 THERE'S A RIVER THERE THAT DEMARCATES THE BORDER
• 07:37 AND IT SHOWS SOMETHING OF AN EXPANDED KINGDOM,
• 07:40 A KINGDOM THAT GOD GAVE TO A PARTICULAR PEOPLE...
• 07:43 AVARAM...ABRAHAM...
• 07:45 WHOM THE LORD SAID,
• 07:46 "COME WITH ME ON A JOURNEY TO A LAND THAT I WILL SHOW YOU".
• 07:50 AND ABRAHAM ROLLED THE DICE AGAINST AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE
• 07:53 AND HE CAME AND WALKED THIS LAND.
• 07:56 AND NOW, SOME CENTURIES LATER...
• 07:58 NOW...I MEAN I'M HARKING BACK TO SOLOMON'S ERA.
• 08:01 MANY THINGS HAVE HAPPENED SINCE
• 08:03 BUT WE SEE THE STORY
• 08:05 OF GOD WATCHING OVER HIS WORD TO PERFORM IT
• 08:08 AS A CERTAIN PEOPLE STRUGGLE
• 08:10 AGAINST SINS IN THEIR OWN PERSONS,
• 08:12 AGAINST CIRCUMSTANCES THAT IMPOSE UPON THEM.
• 08:15 DIFFICULTIES, STRUGGLES, TRIALS AND ALL...
• 08:17 GOD WATCHES OVER HIS WORD TO PERFORM IT
• 08:21 TO GIVE THIS LAND TO A PEOPLE
• 08:26 AND TO SECURE HIS PEOPLE IN HIS LAND
• 08:30 AS A TESTIMONY TO HIS GREATNESS...
• 08:32 GREATNESS THAT EXTENDED TO THE PAST,
• 08:35 TO THE PRESENT
• 08:36 AND THAT WILL BE KNOWN THE MORE SO IN THE FUTURE
• 08:39 AS WE CONSIDER THE TESTIMONY OF GOD AT WORK IN THE WORLD HERE
• 08:43 "B'ERETZ YISRAEL"...
• 08:46 "IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL".

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

• 17:50 WE WANT TO SEND YOU...
• 17:51 SPEAKING OF WHICH...
• 17:53 DAVID DOLAN AND I SPEAK OF STORIES OF RECENT BATTLES
• 17:55 IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
• 18:00 DAVID,
• 18:01 IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
• 18:02 "YAKOV" OR "JAMES"
• 18:03 SPOKE OF THE QUESTION
• 18:04 WHAT CAUSES WARS
• 18:05 AND HE SAID THERE ARE PASSIONS WITHIN
• 18:07 THAT ARE EXPRESSED THROUGH WAR.
• 18:09 WE SEE A LOT OF THAT HERE DON'T WE?
• 18:11 WE DEFINITELY DO JEFF
• 18:13 AND YOU KNOW I WAS REVIEWING THE SINAI WAR
• 18:16 AND THE SIX DAY WAR
• 18:17 AND THE YOM KIPPUR WAR
• 18:19 AND I EMPHASIZED
• 18:20 THAT NASSER, THE EGYPTIAN LEADER
• 18:23 WHO GOT THE FORCES TOGETHER
• 18:25 IN 67 AND 73...
• 18:27 HE WAS QUOTING
• 18:28 FROM THE KORAN MOSTLY.
• 18:30 AND THE TRUTH IS
• 18:31 HE WAS A SOCIALIST.
• 18:32 HE WASN'T A RELIGIOUS MAN
• 18:33 BUT HE USED THE FORCE
• 18:35 OF THAT RELIGION
• 18:36 TO GET ALL OF HIS PEOPLE,
• 18:38 FRANKLY, RILED UP...
• 18:40 THERE CANNOT BE A JEWISH STATE
• 18:41 BECAUSE ISLAM IS THE
• 18:42 FINAL REVOLUTION OF TRUTH
• 18:44 AND THEREFORE
• 18:45 WE HAVE TO HAVE THIS WAR.
• 18:46 AND IT BROUGHT TOGETHER
• 18:48 IN THE CASE OF THE SIX DAY WAR
• 18:49 SIX DIFFERENT NATIONS.
• 18:50 AND THE 73 WAR WE HAD
• 18:52 ALL SORTS OF PARTICIPATION.
• 18:53 THAT'S MODERNITY IN BIBLICAL ANTIQUITY...
• 18:55 THE EGYPTIANS SWEPT UP TO MEGIDDO AS WELL
• 18:58 AND IT'S JUST A NEVER ENDING STORY ISN'T IT?
• 19:01 NOTHING IS NEW UNDER THE SUN
• 19:03 IN THAT SENSE.
• 19:04 AND IT'S REALLY TRUE.
• 19:05 AND I THINK THE ROOT CAUSE
• 19:07 IS THE DESIRE OF SATAN TO
• 19:09 NOT SEE THE BIBLE FULFILLED...
• 19:12 NOT SEE THE MESSIAH COME...
• 19:13 NOT SEE HIM COME AGAIN...
• 19:14 AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE AS YOU WELL KNOW,
• 19:16 BEING PART OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 19:18 ARE THE SYMBOL ON EARTH OF THE VERACITY OF THE SCRIPTURES.
• 19:22 AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY THE ROOT CAUSE OF SO MUCH OF THIS.
• 19:25 I'M INCLINED TO AGREE.
• 19:26 IF THERE'S A SPAT...
• 19:27 IF THERE'S A WAR AND MISUNDERSTANDING
• 19:29 IF IT HAPPENED ONCE BUT CYCLICAL THROUGH NATURE OVER THOUSANDS OF YEARS
• 19:33 FROM THE BIBLICAL PAGES
• 19:34 TO THE PAGES OF MODERN NEWSPAPERS
• 19:36 ITS GOT TO BE MORE SPIRITUAL THAN MATERIAL.
• 19:39 AND LIKE YOU SAID
• 19:40 A ROOT CAUSE IN A KIND OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
• 19:43 WELL YOU KNOW WE HAVE
• 19:45 THE UN PARTITION PLAN IN 1948
• 19:47 OFFERING THE PALESTINIANS
• 19:48 A STATE.
• 19:49 AND WHERE ARE WE 60 SOME YEARS LATER?
• 19:51 WE HAVE A PARTITION PLAN.
• 19:53 LET'S HAVE A PALESTINIAN STATE HERE
• 19:54 AND LET'S HAVE AN ISRAELI STATE....
• 19:56 AND NOTHING'S BEEN RESOLVED IN BETWEEN.
• 19:58 AND THAT'S JUST 60 YEARS
• 19:59 BUT REALLY YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 6,000 YEARS ALMOST
• 20:01 AND IT HAS BEEN A REPEATING CYCLE ALL ALONG.
• 20:04 AND ITS RESOLUTION AWAITS A DIPLOMAT
• 20:07 GREATER THAN WHATEVER POLITICIAN MIGHT APPEAR.
• 20:09 THE ANTI-CHRIST WILL LAY SIEGE TO THE CLAIM TO MAKE PEACE
• 20:12 BUT REALLY IT WILL TAKE EMERGENCE OF THE "PRINCE OF PEACE" TO SETTLE ALL THIS.
• 20:15 DON'T YOU THINK?
• 20:16 I ABSOLUTELY AGREE.
• 20:17 COVERING THESE WARS AS A JOURNALIST
• 20:19 AND SEEING THE DIPLOMATS COME AND GO,
• 20:21 THE DIFFERENT PRESIDENTS
• 20:22 AND THE DIFFERENT SPECIAL ENVOYS
• 20:23 FROM EUROPE AND THE VATICAN, ETC.
• 20:25 AND WE'RE STILL AT THE SAME PLACE.
• 20:27 COVERING THIS AS A BIBLICAL THEOLOGIAN
• 20:29 I SAY "COME LORD JESUS"!
• 20:30 AMEN
• 20:34 HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED WHEN YOU
• 20:37 OPEN UP YOUR BIBLES AT THE BACK
• 20:38 AND LOOK AT A MAP
• 20:40 MORE TIMES THAN NOT
• 20:41 IT REFERS TO THE LAND OF ISRAEL
• 20:42 AS PALESTINE.
• 20:45 QUESTION...
• 20:46 WHAT DEVIL EVER SLIPPED THAT IN THERE!
• 20:49 THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE THE BIBLE DOES NOT REFER TO THE LAND AS "PALESTINE".
• 20:56 CHRISTIAN THEOLOGIANS DO AND THEY'RE PROUD TO DO IT
• 20:58 BUT THAT'S POLITICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY DRIVEN IT SEEMS TO ME.
• 21:02 WHEN THE LORD BROUGHT HIS PEOPLE INTO THAT LAND
• 21:05 THERE WAS A NAME GIVEN...
• 21:07 THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
• 21:09 WELL WHERE DID PALESTINE COME FROM?
• 21:13 WE INTERVIEW A PROFESSOR IN ISRAEL WHO EXPLAINS.
• 21:20 AFTER THE BAR KOCHBA REVOLT
• 21:22 IN THE 2ND CENTURY A.D.
• 21:25 WHEN THE ROMANS WAS TO CHANGE
• 21:27 THE CHARACTER OF THE LAND
• 21:29 FROM THE LAND OF THE JEWS
• 21:31 TO THE LAND WITHOUT JEWS,
• 21:34 WITHOUT A CONTROLLING BY JEWS,
• 21:37 THEY STARTED TO CALL THE LAND
• 21:40 "THE PROVINCE OF PALESTINE".
• 21:42 AND THE MUSLIMS TOOK THIS ANCIENT NAME
• 21:48 FROM THE 2ND CENTURY A.D.
• 21:50 AND USED IT AS THEIR HOME.
• 21:54 WHEN THE ARABS CAME HERE,
• 21:58 WHEN THE MUSLIMS CAME HERE
• 22:00 IN THE 7TH CENTURY A.D.
• 22:02 WHICH IS VERY LATE IN RELATIVITY TO THE JEWISH HISTORY,
• 22:06 THE 7TH CENTURY A.D. IS VERY ANTIQUE IN THE AMERICANS POINT OF VIEW
• 22:12 BUT HERE IN ISRAEL... 700'S...IT'S NOT MUCH.
• 22:17 THEY USED NAME...
• 22:20 THEY CALLED THIS "THE LAND OF ISRAEL"...
• 22:21 THEY CALLED IT A "JUDE PALESTINE".
• 22:23 THE WAS THE OFFICIAL NAME OF THE ARABS AND THE TURKISH AND THE BRITISH
• 22:29 UNTIL WHEN THE STATE OF ISRAEL WAS BORN.
• 22:47 ♪PROMISED BY JEHOVAH THROUGH HIS PROPHETS♪
• 22:54 ♪HOW THEY WEPT FOR YOU MY ISRAEL...♪
• 23:00 ♪ISRAEL...♪
• 23:02 ♪IS...RA...EL♪
• 23:09 ♪IN THAT DAY THE LORD WILL COME♪
• 23:11 ♪AND ALL WILL BOW BEFORE THE THRONE OF HE WHO IS THE KING.♪
• 23:22 ♪ISRAEL THE PROMISED LAND WILL SEE HIS KINGDOM COME.♪
• 24:12 ♪IN THAT DAY THE LORD WILL COME♪
• 24:14 ♪AND ALL WILL BOW BEFORE THE THRONE OF HE WHO IS THE KING.♪
• 24:25 ♪ISRAEL THE PROMISED LAND WILL SEE HIS KINGDOM...♪
• 24:32 ♪COME!♪
• 24:54 WELL YOU KNOW THEY SAY THAT MUSIC TAMES THE SAVAGE BEAST.
• 24:59 AND ZOLA'S PIECE HAS A CALMING EFFECT ON AN OTHERWISE UNHAPPY CAMPER.
• 25:07 I AM CHAGRINED BY THE WAY TRENDS AND CULTURE WANT TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT
• 25:14 AND CALL WHAT IS ISRAEL "PALESTINE".
• 25:18 AT BEST THE PHILISTINE,
• 25:19 THE ANCIENT,
• 25:21 THOSE WHO WERE THE ANCIENT PHILISTINES
• 25:24 JUST HAD A LITTLE TOEHOLD
• 25:25 IN THE REGION HERE,
• 25:27 NEVER MIND ISRAEL PROPER.
• 25:29 IN FACT THIS IS ISRAEL UNDER THE DAYS...
• 25:31 UNDER THE ADMINISTRATION RATHER
• 25:33 OF DAVID AND SOLOMON
• 25:35 AND NOW MODERN ISRAEL
• 25:37 IS JUST A SMALL PART OF THAT.
• 25:39 AND WHAT WAS THE PHILISTINE HOLDINGS...
• 25:41 AND THE PHILISTINES WERE SEA FARING PEOPLE,
• 25:43 NOT SAND FARING PEOPLE OF ISLAMIC PERSUASION...
• 25:46 THEY JUST HAD A LITTLE TOEHOLD THERE.
• 25:49 SO MUCH DECEIT...
• 25:51 IT IS SICKENING BY THE WAY...
• 25:54 I USED TO THINK IT WAS JUST PROBLEMATIC IGNORANCE
• 25:56 BUT REALLY IT'S DIABOLICAL
• 25:58 AND THOSE THAT ARE MINISTERS AND PROFESSORS THAT ADVOCATE
• 26:01 FOR CALLING THIS REAL ESTATE "PALESTINE"
• 26:04 FOR MY MONEY THEY ALL SHOULD BE SUED FOR MALPRACTICE.
• 26:07 IT'S NOT BEYOND THE PALE OF REASON FOR BIBLE TEACHERS TO USE BIBLE LANGUAGE.
• 26:13 JESUS REFERRED TO THE LAND AS "ISRAEL"
• 26:15 SPEAKING OF WHICH,
• 26:17 NEXT WEEK WE'RE GOING TO HERE FROM HIM
