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

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