Caption transcript for The Holy Days of Our Lord (2012): “Day of Atonement” (7/11)

• 00:03 IT IS WRITTEN IN THE SCRIPTURES THAT WE SHOULD JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM THREE TIMES A YEAR.
• 00:07 WE ARE GOING UP TO THE CITY OF GOD,
• 00:10 TO JERUSALEM, TO CELEBRATE.
• 00:17 THE LORD TOLD THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL TO HONOR SEVEN HOLY CELEBRATIONS EACH YEAR
• 00:22 INVOLVING THREE JOURNEYS TO JERUSALEM.
• 00:24 EACH FESTIVAL WOULD BE UNIQUELY FULFILLED IN THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH.
• 00:44 SHALOM AND WELCOME TO ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 00:46 I'M MYLES,
• 00:47 THIS IS KATHARINE.
• 00:48 WE ARE GLAD TO BE WITH YOU TODAY.
• 00:50 YOU KNOW ZOLA LEVITT, OUR FOUNDER,
• 00:52 DID A WONDERFUL SERIES BEFORE HE WENT TO HEAVEN ON THE FEASTS OF THE LORD.
• 00:55 WE CALL IT THE HOLY DAYS OF OUR LORD.
• 00:58 THIS WEEK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.
• 01:01 LAST WEEK WE SPOKE ABOUT THE DAY OF TRUMPETS;
• 01:03 ROSH HASHANAH; THE HEAD OF THE YEAR.
• 01:06 THIS WEEK, THE DAY OF ATONEMENT,
• 01:07 THE MOST SERIOUS HOLIDAY IN THE SEASON.
• 01:10 IT'S A VERY SOBER TIME FOR ISRAEL AND FOR ALL JEWS EVERYWHERE, MYLES.
• 01:14 IT'S A TIME FOR US TO TAKE AN INVENTORY
• 01:17 TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR LIVES HAVE AN ACCOUNT AND THAT OUR SINS ARE RECKONED FOR.
• 01:22 AND OF COURSE WE CAN'T GET ALL THIS SIN OUT, AS THE JEWS KNOW.
• 01:25 WE HAVE TO HAVE AN ATONEMENT DON'T WE?
• 01:27 YES WE DO.
• 01:28 AND SO THANK THE LORD THAT HE CAME AND BECAME OUR ATONEMENT.
• 01:31 AS WE GO TO SEE ZOLA ON LOCATION
• 01:34 LET'S REMEMBER IT'S LIKELY THAT GOD HIMSELF
• 01:37 WILL COME AT THE TIME OF THE DAY OF ATONEMENT TO JUDGE THE EARTH,
• 01:41 BUT HE'S MADE A PROVISION FOR ALL OF US.
• 01:43 SO NOW, TO ZOLA ON LOCATION.
• 01:50 THE PRIEST SHALL TAKE TWO GOATS AND PRESENT THEM BEFORE THE LORD.
• 01:55 ONE GOAT IS TO BE SACRIFICED AS A SIN OFFERING,
• 01:59 THE OTHER GOAT SHALL BE PRESENTED ALIVE TO THE LORD.
• 02:03 IT SHALL BE USED FOR MAKING ATONEMENT BY SENDING IT INTO THE DESERT AS A SCAPEGOAT.
• 02:13 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN.
• 02:14 WELL THIS IS THE FAMOUS VIEW OF JERUSALEM.
• 02:16 WE'RE VERY NEAR THE SUMMIT OF THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
• 02:19 THE ROAD THE LORD RODE THE DONKEY ON IS JUST TEN YARDS TO MY LEFT
• 02:23 AND IN THE 2ND COMING HE WILL TRAVEL PRESUMABLY THE SAME ROAD.
• 02:27 THIS IS THE ANCIENT ROAD DOWN THE MOUNT.
• 02:29 IT'S BEEN REDONE AND WALLS PUT UP AND SO ON,
• 02:32 BUT BASICALLY THAT'S THE WAY
• 02:33 FROM THE SUMMIT OF THE MOUNT OF OLIVES TO THE EASTERN GATE BEHIND ME.
• 02:37 YOU CAN SEE THE GOLD DOME OF THE ROCK, THE MUSLIM SHRINE,
• 02:39 AND THE EAST GATE IN THE WALL WHERE WE WILL ENTER IN THE 2ND COMING OF THE LORD.
• 02:45 WE'RE GOING TO TALK HERE ABOUT THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.
• 02:48 THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDEST LAWS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
• 02:51 IT WAS THE DAY THE HIGH PRIEST ENTERED THE HOLY OF HOLIES
• 02:55 TO MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR HIMSELF AND FOR THE SINS OF ALL NATIONAL ISRAEL.
• 03:00 WE FIND IT IN LEVITICUS 23:27...
• 03:23 SO THERE'RE BASICALLY TWO RULES HERE.
• 03:25 YOU HAVE TO AFFLICT YOUR SOULS, OR CONFESS,
• 03:28 AND YOU MAY NOT WORK THAT DAY.
• 03:32 THE BASEBALL PLAYER HANK GREENBERG AND SANDY KOUFAX, WHO WERE JEWISH,
• 03:37 WOULD NOT PLAY BASEBALL
• 03:39 EVEN THOUGH IT WAS WORLD SERIES IN BOTH CASES
• 03:41 ON THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.
• 03:43 JEWISH ACTORS DID NOT REPORT TO SETS AND STUDIOS AND SO ON.
• 03:46 THIS ONE IS SERIOUS.
• 03:47 THEY KEEP IT.
• 03:49 IF WE LOOK INTO WHAT IS WRITTEN IN SCRIPTURE, WE FIND THE LAW
• 03:52 AND THEN UNDERNEATH THE VERY PUNISHMENT.
• 03:55 JUST THE WAY WE MAKE A SIGN,
• 03:57 NO TRESPASSING, $300 FINE;
• 03:58 FAILURE TO PAY TOLL, $200 FINE,
• 04:01 WHATEVER IT IS.
• 04:02 HERE IT SAYS,
• 04:11 IF YOU DON'T MAKE YOUR CONFESSIONS, YOU'RE EXCOMMUNICATED.
• 04:14 THAT'S THE STRONGEST SPIRITUAL PUNISHMENT.
• 04:17 TECHNICALLY THE PRIEST OF THE TEMPLE HAD THE RIGHT TO SAY
• 04:20 WHAT NO PASTOR OF A CHRISTIAN CHURCH AND NO RABBI OF A SYNAGOGUE COULD SAY,
• 04:24 WHICH IS "YOU'RE NO LONGER CHOSEN."
• 04:26 "YOU'RE NO LONGER JEWISH."
• 04:28 "YOU DON'T NEED TO COME BACK TO THE TEMPLE OR MAKE ANY MORE SACRIFICES."
• 04:31 "THEY WON'T BE EFFICACIOUS ANYHOW.YOU'RE LIKE A PAGAN."
• 04:35 "YOU'RE LIKE A GENTILE."
• 04:37 THROWN OUT OF JUDAISM, A TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT.
• 04:40 THEN IT GOES ON TO THE PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THAT DAY.
• 04:51 WOW!SAME THING - DESTROYED FROM AMONG THE PEOPLE,
• 04:54 THROWN OUT, EXCOMMUNICATED FOR WORKING THAT DAY.
• 04:57 SO THEY REALLY DO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.
• 04:59 THIS 10TH DAY OF THE 7TH MONTH IS A TOUGH LAW.
• 05:02 AND IN VERSE 32 IT TELLS YOU HOW LONG YOU SHOULD CONFESS.
• 05:17 TWENTY-FOUR HOURS, FROM THE 9TH AT SUNDOWN UNTIL THE 10TH AT SUNDOWN
• 05:21 YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO CONFESS YOUR SINS.
• 05:24 IT'S A HARD JOB.
• 05:26 I WAS AT THE WESTERN WALL, THE WAILING WALL SO CALLED, ON THE DAY OF ATONEMENT ONCE.
• 05:30 I SAW THE RABBIS AND THE CONGREGATION AND SO ON
• 05:33 COMING TO MAKE ATONEMENT AT 5 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.
• 05:36 I WAS ON JET LAG AND HAPPENED TO BE UP ANYWAY, SO I WALKED DOWN THERE.
• 05:40 SOME HAD BEDROLLS.
• 05:42 IT DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING HERE ABOUT TAKING BREAKS.
• 05:45 IT SAYS TO CONFESS FOR 24 HOURS.
• 05:47 SO IT'S SERIOUS...IT'S HEAVY.
• 05:50 NOW THE BLOOD OF ATONEMENT IS IN JUDAISM A BASIC, BASIC CONCEPT.
• 05:56 IN LEVITICUS...THE LORD SAID...
• 05:59 "I'VE GIVEN YOU THE BLOOD FOR REMISSION OF SINS."
• 06:02 THAT HAS BEEN TRUE.
• 06:04 REPENTANCE AND THE BLOOD WAS EFFICACIOUS FOR ATONEMENT IN THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW.
• 06:10 WHEN WE COME TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO SHED THE BLOOD
• 06:13 WE REPENT, WE ATONE, AND WE COME TO HIM.
• 06:16 FROM THERE ON WE HAVE NO FURTHER ATONEMENT TO MAKE,
• 06:19 BUT IT'S BECAUSE HE SHED THE BLOOD FOR US.
• 06:21 YOU KNOW THAT WORD "BLOOD" THE SAME WORD IS USED
• 06:25 WHEN GOD DIRECTS NOAH TO PUT PITCH, TAR ON HIS ARK,
• 06:31 INSIDE AND OUT TO PROTECT IT FROM THE WATER SO IT WON'T COME ON BOARD.
• 06:35 THE WATER IS JUDGMENT AND THE PITCH IS LIKE THE BLOOD THAT PROTECTS US FROM JUDGMENT.
• 06:42 NOW ON THE DAY OF ATONEMENT THERE WERE TWO GOATS.
• 06:45 THE PRIEST TOOK ONE GOAT IN WITH HIM AND SACRIFICED ITS BLOOD ON THE ALTAR
• 06:49 AND THE OTHER WAS CALLED THE SCAPEGOAT.
• 06:51 THEY LET IT GO.
• 06:52 IT RAN OUT INTO THE WILDERNESS.
• 06:54 IT WOULD DIE OUT THERE AT SOME POINT.
• 06:56 A SCARLET RIBBON HUNG DOWN IN THE TEMPLE IN PLAIN SIGHT
• 07:01 AND AT THE POINT WHEN THAT GOAT WOULD DIE OUT THERE IN THE WILDERNESS, NOBODY WATCHING IT,
• 07:05 BUT AT THE POINT WHEN IT DIED THAT SCARLET RIBBON WOULD TURN WHITE.
• 07:09 THOUGH YOUR SINS BE AS SCARLET, THEY'LL BE WASHED WHITE AS SNOW.
• 07:13 THAT'S HOW IT WORKED.
• 07:15 THE ONE GOAT FOR THE PRIEST'S SINS
• 07:17 AND THE OTHER FOR THE SINS OF NATIONAL ISRAEL.
• 07:19 YOU KNOW JOSEPHUS REPORTS THAT AFTER THE DEATH OF CHRIST, FROM ABOUT 30 AD TO 70 AD,
• 07:26 THAT SCARLET RIBBON NEVER DID TURN WHITE IN THAT TIME.
• 07:30 THAT WAS HIS REPORT.
• 07:32 THE TRADITION HAS TO DO WITH FASTING.
• 07:35 THEY ADDED FASTING ONTO THE FESTIVAL.
• 07:38 IT'S TEN AWESOME DAYS BETWEEN ROSH HASHANAH AND YOM KIPPUR,
• 07:44 THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS AND THE DAY OF ATONEMENT;
• 07:47 ROSH HASHANAH ON THE 1ST DAY OF THE 7TH MONTH
• 07:50 AND ATONEMENT ON THE 10TH.
• 07:52 IN THOSE 10 AWESOME DAYS WE ARE TO BE CONSCIENCE OF OUR SHORT COMINGS,
• 07:56 REMEMBER OUR SINS OF THE WHOLE YEAR,
• 07:59 AND BE READY TO REPENT THERE BEFORE GOD.
• 08:04 AT THE TIME OF JESUS THE ARK OF THE COVENANT WAS NOT IN THE TEMPLE.
• 08:08 THEY SAY THAT JEREMIAH HID IT AWAY
• 08:10 BEFORE NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S SIEGE OR DURING THE SIEGE
• 08:13 WHEN IT WAS CLEAR THAT HE WAS GOING TO RAID THE TEMPLE AND TAKE AWAY THE ARTIFACTS.
• 08:17 I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S EXACTLY TRUE, BUT ANYWAY IT WAS NOT THERE IN THE TEMPLE.
• 08:21 BUT THE LITTLE STONE ON WHICH IT SAT,
• 08:23 A KIND OF A FOUNDATION STONE WAS THERE IN THE HOLY OF HOLIES.
• 08:28 THAT STONE ITSELF BECAME IN ITS OWN WAY HOLY.
• 08:32 ISAIAH 28:16 SAYS THIS...
• 08:49 IN OTHER WORDS THE STONE ITSELF WAS ACCEPTED BEFORE GOD AS A PLACE OF ATONEMENT.
• 08:55 HOW IRONIC IT IS THAT THE ARABS, THE MUSLIMS...
• 08:59 ENEMIES OF ISRAEL NO QUESTION...
• 09:01 HAVE BUILT A SHRINE,
• 09:03 THE GOLDEN DOME BEHIND ME,
• 09:05 AND PUT IT ON THE SITE OF THE JEWISH TEMPLE TO KEEP THE JEWISH TEMPLE FROM EVER BEING REBUILT.
• 09:10 I BELIEVE THAT'S THE IDEA.
• 09:12 AND THEY END UP CALLING IT THE DOME OF THE ROCK
• 09:15 AND INSIDE IS A BIG ROCK
• 09:17 FOR ALL I KNOW THE SAME FOUNDATION STONE.
• 09:19 BUT ANYWAY IT'S AROUND A STONE AS IF GOD WOULD NOT GIVE UP THE IDEA OF THAT STONE ON THAT SITE
• 09:26 NO MATTER WHO BUILT THE TEMPLE.
• 09:28 AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DID.
• 09:29 ROMANS BUILT A TEMPLE.
• 09:30 CRUSADERS STUCK A CROSS ON THE TEMPLE.
• 09:32 AS I OFTEN POINT OUT
• 09:35 THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THERE WAS A CHRISTIAN CROSS ON A MUSLIM DOME
• 09:37 ON ROMAN PILLARS ON JEWISH LAND...
• 09:40 ALL ON THAT SITE WHERE YOU SEE THE DOME.
• 09:42 BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
• 09:44 THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN A ROCK THERE, THAT FOUNDATION STONE.
• 09:47 FINALLY, PAUL POINTS OUT IN ROMANS 9:33...
• 10:01 AS IN OUR TIME EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE HERE ARE NOT BASICALLY BELIEVING IN THE LORD,
• 10:06 HE IS THERE AND THEY STUMBLE OVER HIM ALL THE TIME.
• 10:27 ♪SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM♪
• 10:31 ♪SHA'ALU SHA'LU SHALOM♪
• 10:35 ♪IN THE HOLY CITY OF JERUSALEM,♪
• 10:42 ♪WE WILL PRAY FOR PEACE♪
• 10:45 ♪SHA'LU SHALOM!♪
• 10:55 THAT'S ISRAEL,
• 10:56 AND WE WOULD LOVE FOR YOU
• 10:58 TO COME WITH US.
• 10:59 IT'S A TRIP OF A LIFETIME;
• 11:01 MEMORIES THAT YOU'LL HOLD DEAR
• 11:03 YOUR WHOLE LIFE.
• 11:04 JUST CALL 1-800-WONDERS
• 11:06 AND YOU CAN MAKE A RESERVATION WITH TRACIE.
• 11:08 AND NOW WE'RE GOING BACK TO ZOLA
• 11:10 TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THE HOLY DAYS OF OUR LORD.
• 11:15 WELL WE'RE HERE AT THE FAMOUS VIEW OF JERUSALEM FROM THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
• 11:18 WE'RE STANDING NEAR THE SUMMIT OF THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
• 11:21 YOU CAN SEE THE DOME OF THE ROCK BEHIND ME, THE GOLDEN DOME,
• 11:24 AND THE EAST GATE IN THE EASTERN WALL OF THE TEMPLE WHERE WE'LL ENTER IN THE 2ND COMING.
• 11:28 IT'S CLOSED NOW, BUT IT'LL OPEN FOR THE KING WHEN HE COMES.
• 11:32 YOU KNOW THE WESTERNWALL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT TEMPLE IS WHERE THE JEWS PRAY NOW.
• 11:37 THAT RETAINING WALL IS FROM THE ORIGINAL TEMPLES OF SOLOMON AND HEROD.
• 11:41 NOT ONLY DO THEY PRAY, BUT YOU CAN FAX THE WALL.
• 11:46 YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS. [CHUCKLING]
• 11:48 YOU CAN ACTUALLY EMAIL YOUR PRAYERS TO THE WALL.
• 11:52 THEY WILL PUT A PIECE OF PAPER WITH YOUR PRAYERS ON THERE.
• 11:54 FOR YOM KIPPUR YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH...
• 11:58 KIPPUR MEANS A COVERING OF YOUR SINS...
• 12:00 YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH WHAT THEY CALL VIRTUAL KAPPAROT, VIRTUAL COVERINGS, BY COMPUTER.
• 12:06 IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THOSE ADDRESSES
• 12:09 WRITE TO US AND WE'LL GIVE THEM TO YOU.
• 12:11 WE'VE PRINTED THEM IN OUR LEVITT LETTER.
• 12:12 IF YOU GET THE LEVITT LETTER WE'VE RUN THOSE ADDRESSES FROM TIME TO TIME
• 12:15 SO YOU CAN FAX TO GOD OR EMAIL.
• 12:18 I SAY THAT BECAUSE THE THOUGHT IS BEHIND THE WESTERN WALL IS THE HOLY OF HOLIES
• 12:23 AND GOD MAY STILL BE IN HIS APARTMENT ON EARTH
• 12:25 AND THEREFORE THE CRACKS IN THAT WALL ARE LIKE HIS MAILBOX.
• 12:29 NOW THE PEOPLE TREAT YOM KIPPUR, THE DAY OF ATONEMENT WITH SPECIAL THINGS.
• 12:35 THEY DON'T CARRY MONEY.
• 12:37 THEY WEAR TENNIS SHOES WITHOUT LEATHER SINCE LEATHER IS A SYMBOL OF WAR.
• 12:42 THEY ARE REPENTANT IN THIS DAY, PEACEFUL.
• 12:44 THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE A SYMBOL OF WAR EVEN AROUND THEM.
• 12:47 THEY READ IN THE SYNAGOGUE THE STORY OF JONAH
• 12:50 BECAUSE IT'S AN EXAMPLE THAT YOU SIMPLY CANNOT ESCAPE GOD'S WILL.
• 12:54 HE KNOWS YOUR EVERY SIN.
• 12:55 HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S TOLD YOU TO DO AND WHETHER YOU'VE DONE IT.
• 12:58 SO THEY READ THE STORY OF JONAH WHO TRIED TO ESCAPE GOD'S WILL
• 13:04 AND OF COURSE HE COULD NOT DO IT.
• 13:06 THE IDEA OF JONAH IS BROUGHT UP BY JESUS AS WELL WHERE HE SAYS,
• 13:12 "THIS GENERATION SHALL RECEIVE NO SIGN EXCEPT THAT OF THE PROPHET JONAH,"
• 13:16 "THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE BELLY OF THE FISH..."
• 13:19 AS THE LORD WOULD BE THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE EARTH
• 13:24 AND THEN WE HAVE ALL THESE PEOPLE PUTTING PASSOVER ON WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY...,
• 13:29 WHEN IN REALITY IT WAS FRIDAY.
• 13:31 IT'S STILL CALLED GOOD FRIDAY.
• 13:33 THE GOOD BECAUSE HE MADE THE SACRIFICE FOR US THAT DAY.
• 13:36 HIS BLOOD WAS SHED AND THAT WAS HIS DAY OF ATONEMENT YOU MIGHT SAY IN OUR PLACE.
• 13:41 YOU MAY ARGUE ABOUT THE THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS.
• 13:45 WE HAVE PUBLISHED THIS AND WE'VE SAID IT ON TELEVISION,
• 13:47 BUT IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW WE COUNT THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS FROM FRIDAY,
• 13:50 WRITE TO US AND WE'LL SEND THAT ANSWER.
• 13:52 I WON'T TAKE THE TV TIME RIGHT NOW,
• 13:54 BUT I WILL SAY THAT WE HOLD TO A FRIDAY CRUCIFIXION AND A SUNDAY RESURRECTION,
• 13:58 AND WE HAVE THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS BETWEEN THOSE TWO.
• 14:01 PSALM 139 SPEAKS TO THE SUBJECT BEAUTIFULLY.
• 14:06 IN VERSE 7...
• 14:12 IT'S LIKE THE STORY OF JONAH TRYING TO ESCAPE GOD'S WILL.
• 14:15 THAT IS TRYING NOT TO CONFESS,
• 14:16 TRYING NOT TO OWN UP FOR THINGS WE'VE DONE.
• 14:19 THE THEME HERE IS, "WITHER SHALL I GO FROM THY SPIRIT?"
• 14:23 IT SAYS,...
• 14:52 GOD IS EVERYWHERE.
• 14:54 HE'S EVEN IN HELL.
• 14:56 YOU KNOW CHRIST WENT DOWN TO HELL AFTER THE CRUCIFIXION IT SAYS IN THE EPISTLES
• 15:00 AND MADE THE PAROUSIA, THE PROCLAMATION TO THE SOULS IN HELL
• 15:05 THAT THE CROSS WAS A VICTORY
• 15:08 LEST THEY BE TOLD BY SATAN, A LIAR, THAT HE HAD DEFEATED CHRIST, THEY SHOULD KNOW THAT...
• 15:14 WELL AS HE SAID IN THE GOSPELS,
• 15:16 "NO MAN TAKES MY LIFE FROM ME."
• 15:18 "I LAY IT DOWN AND I TAKE IT UP AGAIN."
• 15:20 "FOR THIS WAS I BORN", HE SAID.
• 15:23 WELL THE JEWS WILL HAVE A DAY OF ATONEMENT WHEN HE RETURNS.
• 15:27 THE PROPHECY IS CLEAR.
• 15:29 ZECHARIAH 12:10 SAYS,...
• 15:31 "...THEY SHALL LOOK UPON ME WHOM THEY HAVE PIERCED,"
• 15:33 "AND THEY SHALL MOURN FOR HIM, AS ONE MOURN FOR HIS ONLY SON "
• 15:36 "AND A FOUNT OF CLEANSING WILL BE OPEN UNTO THE HOUSE OF DAVID."
• 15:39 I ALMOST CHOKE UP WITH I SAY THAT HERE
• 15:41 BECAUSE HERE IS WHERE HE'S COMING.
• 15:43 WE'RE AT THE SUMMIT OF THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
• 15:45 IF HE CAME NOW I WOULD BE LOOKING STRAIGHT AT HIM STRAIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
• 15:48 HE'S COMING OUT OF HEAVEN TO THIS PLACE
• 15:50 AND EVERYBODY ON THE GROUND WILL LOOK UP AND SEE HIM
• 15:53 AND WHEN THEY LOOK UPON HIM WHOM THEY'VE PIERCED AND MOURN FOR HIM...
• 15:58 WHEN THEY DO A REAL ATONEMENT OF THEIR OWN
• 16:00 BECAUSE THEY SEE WHO HE IS AND THEY REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED,
• 16:04 THEN THEY WILL BE SAVED.
• 16:07 AS PAUL SAYS IN ROMANS...
• 16:09 "ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED WHEN THE DELIVER SHALL COME OUT OF ZION."
• 16:14 BUT YOU MAY SAY, WELL, THEN I DON'T NEED TO WITNESS TO MY JEWISH NEIGHBOR NOW.
• 16:17 OH, YOU DO, BECAUSE HE HAS TO SURVIVE.
• 16:20 IF YOU DON'T WITNESS TO HIM HE'LL HAVE TO SURVIVE THE TRIBULATION PERIOD,
• 16:23 THE BLASPHEMY OF THE ANTI-CHRIST, ARMAGEDDON,
• 16:26 AND HE HAS TO BE HERE WHEN THE LORD COMES TO LOOK AT SEE HIM.
• 16:30 MUCH BETTER IS TO COME TO CHRIST NOW
• 16:32 AND GO ON TO THE WEDDING IN HEAVEN
• 16:34 TO THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF REWARDS,
• 16:37 TO THE WONDERFUL KINGDOM.
• 16:39 MY GOODNESS, WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
• 16:41 SO, BY ALL MEANS WITNESS.
• 16:43 I ALWAYS SAY IF YOU COULD ONLY SAY ONE THING TO ANY WITNESSEE, A JEW OR A GENTILE,
• 16:48 SAY, "I'LL BE LEAVING."
• 16:49 THEN WHEN YOU'RE GONE IN THE RAPTURE NOBODY WILL FOOL HIM WITH ANY DELUSION.
• 16:54 YOU WILL HAVE BEEN THERE FIRST WITH THE TRUTH.
• 16:57 ROMANS 3:23 SAYS,...
• 17:01 AND IT MEANS ALL.
• 17:03 SO WE ALL NEED TO REPENT.
• 17:05 WELL THE LAST WORD THAT JESUS GAVE TO THE CHURCHES WHEN HE WAS HERE ON EARTH
• 17:09 WAS NOT REALLY "BE MY REPRESENTATIVES IN JERUSALEM, JUDEA, SAMARIA, AND THE REMOTE PARTS OF THE EARTH."
• 17:15 THAT'S THE LAST THING HE SAID AFTER THE RESURRECTION,
• 17:18 BUT HE RETURNED IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION AS YOU RECALL AND HE VISITED WITH JOHN.
• 17:24 AND THAT TIME HE REVIEWED THE 7 CHURCHES IN ASIA.
• 17:29 FIVE OUT OF THOSE 7 CHURCHES NEEDED TO REPENT.
• 17:33 HE SAID AGAIN AND AGAIN, "REPENT OF THY WAYS..."
• 17:35 ONLY THE CHURCH AT SMYRNA, WHICH WAS BEING PERSECUTED,
• 17:39 AND THE CHURCH AT PHILADELPHIA OF BROTHERLY LOVE,
• 17:42 THE CHURCH OF THE OPEN DOOR THAT OPENED BOTH WAYS,
• 17:45 NEITHER OF THOSE DID HE SAY TO REPENT.
• 17:48 BUT THE OTHERS HE SAID, "REPENT OR I'LL REMOVE YOUR CANDLESTICK",
• 17:51 WHICH IS TO SAY I'LL TAKE THAT OIL LAMP OUT OF THERE.
• 17:54 IT WON'T BE LIKE THE TABERNACLE ANYMORE WITH THE MENORAH,
• 17:58 BUT IT WILL BE AN EMPTY PLACE WITH GOD NOT IN IT.
• 18:01 SO THEY ARE WARNED TO REPENT.
• 18:03 WE ARE WARNED TO REPENT AND THE JEWS HAVE ALWAYS DONE THAT ON THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.
• 18:18 THE DAY OF ATONEMENT OF COURSE WAS THE DAY OF THE HIGH PRIEST.
• 18:22 HE WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSONALITY IN ISRAEL WITHOUT DOUBT
• 18:26 FOR ALL HE WAS GOING DO WITH THE PEOPLE AND THE DAY THAT HE WAS GOING TO GO INTO GOD'S PRESENCE.
• 18:33 WHEN HE WENT THERE HE WORE A COSTUME.
• 18:35 I'VE GOT SOME PIECES OF IT HERE.
• 18:37 THIS HEADDRESS...
• 18:41 I'M GOING TO TAKE MY GLASSES OFF BECAUSE I'M SURE THE HIGH PRIEST DIDN'T HAVE GLASSES.
• 18:46 IT SAYS "HOLY" ON THE FRONT OF IT,
• 18:49 OR "HOLY TO THE LORD".
• 18:51 HE HAD A BREASTPLATE WITH STONES, JEWELS REPRESENTING THE 12 TRIBES WHICH HE WORE HERE,
• 18:57 AND EPAULETTES, WHICH HE WORE ON HIS SHOULDERS.
• 19:01 HE WORE A LONG ROBE AND SO FORTH.
• 19:04 IN THIS AMAZING COSTUME, AND IMAGINE IN ANCIENT TIMES HOW AMAZING THAT COSTUME WAS
• 19:10 ESPECIALLY OUT IN THE SINAI WHERE THERE WERE JUST MARAUDING TRIBES, BEDOUINS, WHO KNOWS...
• 19:15 WHEN THE PRIEST WAS IN FULL DRESS IT WAS VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE NO QUESTION.
• 19:20 THERE IS A TABERNACLE BUILT IN ISRAEL, FULL-SIZE.
• 19:24 WE HAVE ONE IN AMERICA AT EUREKA SPRINGS, LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA I BELIEVE,
• 19:29 AND OTHERS I'VE HEARD OF.
• 19:30 BUT IN ISRAEL AT TIMNA, SOUTH NEAR EILAT,
• 19:33 WE GO THERE ON OUR TOURS,
• 19:35 THERE'S A FULL-SIZE TABERNACLE.
• 19:36 OUR PRODUCER, KEN BERG, TALKED TO THE MAN IN CHARGE.
• 19:40 LEVCO, THANKS FOR BEING WITH US TODAY.
• 19:42 WOULD YOU TELL US PLEASE WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW?
• 19:44 WE ARE HERE AT PARK TIMNA.
• 19:47 IT'S A VERY BIG PARK.
• 19:48 YOU MAY SAY THE BIGGEST IN ISRAEL.
• 19:51 IT'S 64 SQ. KILOMETERS.
• 19:53 WE HAVE SO MANY THINGS HERE.
• 19:55 WE HAVE ECOLOGICAL THINGS - THE MOUNTAINS, FIGURES OF ROCKS.
• 20:00 WE HAVE HERE ARCHAEOLOGY,
• 20:02 A LOT OF ARCHAEOLOGY FROM THE CHALCOLITHIC PERIOD.
• 20:05 AND WE HAVE HERE ANIMALS LIKE IBEX AND GOATS.
• 20:10 AND WE HAVE HERE 10,000 MINES OF COPPER THAT BELONGS TO THE EGYPTIAN PERIOD.
• 20:15 IT MEANS THERE IS A LOT OF COPPER CARRIED BACK FROM HERE TO EGYPT.
• 20:21 AT THE SAME TIME THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL STARTED THE EXODUS.
• 20:25 SO WE THINK THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL BOUGHT THE COPPER FROM THE EGYPTIANS
• 20:30 AND USED IT IN THE TABERNACLE.
• 20:32 SO AT EVERY CORNER YOU ARE TURNING AROUND
• 20:35 AND IT IS SOMETHING VERY, VERY SPECIAL AND VERY NICE.
• 20:38 I ENJOY HERE EVERY SECOND, EVERY MOMENT I ENJOY HERE.
• 20:43 (Zola speaking) SPOKESMAN HERBBY GEER EXPLAINS HOW HE BECAME INVOLVED WITH THE TABERNACLE IN TIMNA PARK.
• 20:49 I WOUND UP BEING ABLE TO COME WITH A NEW PROGRAM
• 20:51 WITH THE BAPTISTS WHO WERE LOOKING AT DOING SOMETHING NEW IN ISRAEL FOR THEIR TOURS.
• 20:55 THEY WERE COMING ESPECIALLY IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR 2000.
• 20:57 IT WAS THE BEGINNING YEAR FOR US.
• 20:59 AS WE CAME WE STARTED LOOKING AT DIFFERENT PROGRAMS WE COULD DO
• 21:03 AND FOUND OUT IN EILAT THERE WERE REALLY NO PROGRAMS THAT HELPED UNDERSTAND THE EXODUS.
• 21:07 IT'S SUCH A CENTRAL PART OF WHO WE ARE AND THE BACKGROUND OF BELIEVERS.
• 21:11 JESUS WAS JEWISH.
• 21:13 THREE OF THE HOLIDAYS HE WAS COMMANDED TO BE IN JERUSALEM ON.
• 21:17 ALL THREE OF THOSE HOLIDAYS THAT HE HAD TO BE THERE ON
• 21:19 DEALT WITH THE EXODUS IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER.
• 21:23 SUKKOT, YOU'D HAVE HAD PASSOVER,
• 21:26 AND YOU'D HAVE HAD PENTECOST.
• 21:28 SO YOU HAVE THOSE FEASTS THAT THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN CELEBRATING THERE IN JERUSALEM.
• 21:32 THEY LOOK BACK, OF COURSE, SUKKOT LOOKS BACK AT THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES.
• 21:37 IT LOOKS BACK AT HOW THEY LIVED IN TABERNACLES WHEN THEY WERE IN THE WILDERNESS.
• 21:41 PASSOVER, HOW THEY CAME OUT FROM EGYPT WITH THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB APPLIED TO THE DOORPOSTS.
• 21:46 THEN MANY PEOPLE THINK THAT THE PENTECOST LOOKS BACK
• 21:53 AT WHEN MOSES RECEIVED THE 10 COMMANDMENTS ON MOUNT SINAI.
• 21:56 SO THEY ALL LOOK BACK AT ONE FORM OR ANOTHER AT THESE THINGS.
• 21:59 SO WE WERE LOOKING AT WHAT WE WOULD DO AND THERE WERE NO PROGRAMS HERE.
• 22:03 SO WE STARTED APPROACHING THE MINISTRY OF TOURISM AND JUST TALKING ABOUT SOME IDEAS.
• 22:07 THEY PUT US IN TOUCH WITH TIMNA PARK.
• 22:10 WE HAD DECIDED THAT MAYBE IF WE COULD BRING A MODEL OF THE TABERNACLE
• 22:14 TO HELP UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE EXODUS,
• 22:16 TO HELP UNDERSTAND THE CONNECTION OF GOD IN THE MIDST OF THE CAMP OF ISRAEL,
• 22:20 AND THEN HOW THAT FIT IN WITH THE FEASTS OF ISRAEL
• 22:23 THAT WOULD HELP A LOT FOR OUR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND JUST THE JEWISH BACKGROUND OF JESUS
• 22:29 AND THE JEWISH BACKGROUND OF THE FAITH, BEGINNING FROM THE VERY OUTSET OF THE EXODUS FROM EGYPT.
• 22:35 WHAT PLACE DID THE PRIESTS PLAY IN THE DAY OF ATONEMENT?
• 22:38 IN THE DAY OF ATONEMENT, IT'S REALLY INTERESTING,
• 22:41 BECAUSE YOU HAD THE PRIESTHOOD THAT WOULD HAVE TAKEN UP...
• 22:44 THERE WERE VERY SPECIAL OFFERINGS THAT WERE TAKEN UP ON THERE.
• 22:46 OF COURSE WE SEE JESUS IN MANY PLACES WITHIN THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.
• 22:50 THE PRIEST WOULD HAVE...THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A SIN OFFERING.
• 22:54 THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN FOR AARON AND HIS SONS,
• 22:56 OR FOR THE HIGH PRIEST AND ALL THE PRIESTHOOD LATER ON.
• 23:00 THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN ONE BULL.
• 23:01 THEY WOULD HAVE SLAUGHTERED THAT BULL AND OFFERED IT UP
• 23:04 AS A WHOLE BURNT OFFERING BEFORE THE LORD.
• 23:06 THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE BLOOD OF THAT BULL
• 23:08 AND POURED OUT SOME OF IT ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE ALTAR.
• 23:11 THEY WOULD HAVE ANOINTED THE HORNS OF THE ALTAR.
• 23:13 THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN THAT BLOOD
• 23:15 AND THEY WOULD HAVE ANOINTED THE HORNS OF THE GOLDEN ALTAR OF INCENSE IN THE HOLY PLACE
• 23:19 AND ONLY THE BLOOD OF THOSE SACRIFICES ENTERED ALL THE WAY INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES.
• 23:23 THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN THAT ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND SPRINKLED IT ON THE ARK OF THE COVENANT
• 23:27 TO COVER FOR THE SINS OF AARON AND HIS SONS.
• 23:31 SECOND, THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TWO GOATS.
• 23:33 ONE GOAT WAS CALLED THE SCAPEGOAT.
• 23:35 IN HEBREW IT'S LA'AAZAZEL.
• 23:37 IT MEANS TO AN UNINHABITED AND DESOLATE PLACE, BUT IN MODERN HEBREW IT ACTUALLY MEANS HELL.
• 23:42 WELL, THEY WOULD HAVE LAID THEIR HANDS ON THE HEAD OF THAT GOAT
• 23:46 SIGNIFYING IT'S TAKING THE SINS OF ALL THE NATION OF ISRAEL
• 23:49 AND THEY WOULD HAVE SENT IT OUT TO THE DESOLATE AND UNINHABITABLE PLACE.
• 23:53 MANY TIMES WE SEE JESUS AS THE SLAUGHTER AND THE SACRIFICE,
• 23:56 BUT ALSO AS THE SCAPEGOAT BECAUSE HE WAS 40 DAYS IN THE WILDERNESS.
• 23:59 WELL HE WASN'T ALONE THERE.
• 24:00 SATAN WAS THERE TO TEMPT HIM.
• 24:02 HE WAS TEMPTED IN EVERY WAY AS WE WERE AND YET WITHOUT SIN.
• 24:06 SO HE COULD MAKE THE ATONEMENT FOR US,
• 24:08 BECAUSE HE WAS WITHOUT SIN.
• 24:10 BUT IF HE HAD SINNED, IF HE HAD GIVEN INTO ANY OF THE TEMPTATION,
• 24:13 THEN HE WOULD HAVE NEEDED ATONEMENT
• 24:15 AND HE WOULDN'T TRULY HAVE BEEN THE MESSIAH OR THE SON OF GOD.
• 24:17 HE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OFFER UP THE SACRIFICE, THE FINAL SACRIFICE FOR ALL TIME.
• 24:21 THE SECOND GOAT THEN, THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN
• 24:23 AND THEY WOULD HAVE SLAUGHTERED AS THEY DID THE BULL,
• 24:26 EXCEPT IT WAS FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE NATION.
• 24:28 THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT AND THEY WOULD HAVE SLAUGHTERED IT.
• 24:31 THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT AND OFFERED IT UP AS A BURNT OFFERING.
• 24:34 THEY WOULD HAVE PUT THE BLOOD ON THE ALTAR,
• 24:36 ANOINTED THE HORNS OF THE ALTAR,
• 24:38 THEN THEY WOULD HAVE GONE IN AGAIN TO THE GOLDEN ALTAR OF INCENSE
• 24:40 AND ANOINTED THE HORNS THERE AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SPRINKLED ON THE ARK OF THE COVENANT.
• 24:45 WITHIN THE ARK OF THE COVENANT YOU HAD THE 10 COMMANDMENTS.
• 24:48 WELL THE BLOOD WAS SPRINKLED ON THE OUTSIDE
• 24:51 BECAUSE HE PAID THE PRICE WE SHOULD HAVE PAID FOR THE SINS.
• 24:54 SO IT'S INTERESTING, YOU HAVE WITH ABRAHAM ONE MAN WITH ONE SACRIFICE WITHIN THE SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM OF PASSOVER.
• 25:02 YOU HAVE ONE SACRIFICE FOR A FAMILY,
• 25:06 THEN WITH YOM KIPPUR YOU HAVE ONE SACRIFICE FOR A NATION,
• 25:09 THEN WITH JESUS YOU HAVE ONE SACRIFICE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD.
• 25:12 SO THE TABERNACLE STILL HAS SOMETHING TO SAY TO US TODAY?
• 25:15 THE TABERNACLE IS AMAZING.
• 25:17 NOW WHEN WE FIRST STARTED LOOKING AT IT I WAS INTERESTED IN THE TABERNACLE.
• 25:21 IT WAS SOMETHING REALLY TO UNDERSTAND.
• 25:23 BUT THE MORE AND MORE WE JUST SPENT TIME AND LOOKING AT THAT TABERNACLE
• 25:27 AND UNDERSTANDING HOW THE THOUGHTS EVEN OF JESUS ALWAYS WERE BACK AT THE TABERNACLE,
• 25:32 WHAT IT REPRESENTED, HOW JESUS WAS REPRESENTED IN THE TABERNACLE.
• 25:35 I LOVE IT MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY.
• 26:33 IT'S SO WONDERFUL TO SEE THE PARALLELS BETWEEN THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW TESTAMENT
• 26:38 AND TO SEE YESHUA FULFILLING EVERY SINGLE JOT AND TIDDLE IN THE TABERNACLE...
• 26:43 EVERY LITTLE PIECE OF FURNITURE SPEAKS OF YESHUA.
• 26:46 I'M SO GRATEFUL THAT WE GET TO SHOW THIS SERIES AGAIN, MYLES.
• 26:50 I KNOW IT.
• 26:51 AND HE IS OUR ATONEMENT.
• 26:52 HE'S DONE THE COMPLETE WORK FOR US.
• 26:54 THIS HAS BEEN THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.
• 26:57 NEXT WEEK WE'LL CONTINUE IN THE FEASTS OF OUR LORD
• 26:59 WITH THE DAY OF TABERNACLES, THE SUKKOT, THE BOOTHS,
• 27:04 WHICH REALLY SPEAKS ABOUT THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF CHRIST.
• 27:07 IT'S AN INCREDIBLE SHOW.
• 27:08 WE WANT TO INVITE YOU TO JOIN US FOR THAT NEXT WEEK.
• 27:11 AND REMEMBER THAT OUR SHOW GOES FORWARD
• 27:13 BECAUSE OF YOUR GIFTS AND YOUR OFFERINGS.
• 27:15 WE CAN'T DO THIS WITHOUT YOUR HELP.
• 27:16 SO PLEASE, WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR FAITHFUL SUPPORT.
• 27:19 UNTIL WE SEE YOU AGAIN,
• 27:22 REMEMBER, SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM...
• 27:25 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
