Caption transcript for Sons of Promise: “The Promise of Heaven Touches Earth” (6/8)

• 00:26 AND THE LORD APPEARED UNTO ISAAC AND SAID,
• 00:30 "DWELL IN THIS LAND AND I WILL BE WITH YOU AND BLESS YOU."
• 00:35 "FOR TO YOU AND YOUR DESCENDANTS I GIVE ALL THESE LANDS"
• 00:40 "AND I WILL PERFORM THE OATH WHICH I SWORE TO YOUR FATHER ABRAHAM"
• 00:45 "AND I WILL MAKE YOUR DESCENDANTS MULTIPLY AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN"
• 00:50 "AND IN YOUR SEED ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED."
• 01:04 SHALOM AND WELCOME TO OUR PROGRAM.
• 01:06 I'M MYLES WEISS.
• 01:07 AND I'M KATHARINE WEISS
• 01:08 AND WELCOME BACK TO THE "SONS OF PROMISE".
• 01:11 WE'VE SEEN SO MANY INTERVALS BETWEEN ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB
• 01:15 AND THE WOMEN GET INVOLVED HERE MYLES.
• 01:18 REBEKAH HEARD FROM THE LORD ABOUT THAT SHE WAS GOING TO HAVE THESE TWO TWINS
• 01:23 AND THE OLDER WAS GOING TO SERVE THE YOUNGER
• 01:26 AND SO SHE IMPOSES HOW THIS IS COMING ABOUT.
• 01:29 SHE HAS JACOB TO GO IN AND GET THE BLESSING FROM ISAAC
• 01:33 AND THAT CAUSED QUITE ANGST WITH ESAU.
• 01:37 THE CONFLICT STARTED IN THE WOMB
• 01:40 AND IT'S PROPHESIED BY GOD
• 01:41 AND WE'RE SEEING IT PLAY OUT IN OUR LIVES TODAY.
• 01:44 THERE'S STILL CONFLICT BETWEEN THE SONS OF JACOB, WHO IS ISRAEL, AND THE SONS OF ESAU.
• 01:49 AND SO AS WE GO TO OUR STORY TODAY
• 01:51 WE'RE GOING TO PICK UP WITH REBEKAH SPEAKING TO JACOB ABOUT WHAT IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE
• 01:56 AND THE FACT THAT HIS BROTHER IS AFTER HIM AND THERE'S GOING TO BE GREATER CONFLICT TO COME.
• 02:01 SO LET'S GO TO OUR STORY NOW.
• 02:06 IN THE LATER DAYS OF HIS LIFE ISAAC HAD BEEN DECEIVED BY HIS SON JACOB.
• 02:11 UNKNOWINGLY ISAAC HAD GIVEN HIS BLESSING TO JACOB INSTEAD OF ESAU
• 02:17 AND NOW THE WINDS OF ESAU'S WRATH WERE BLOWING THROUGH THE CAMP.
• 02:22 JACOB'S MOTHER REBEKAH PROVIDES COUNSEL AND STERN WARNING TO HER SON.
• 03:12 TALK ABOUT THE SONS OF PROMISE,
• 03:14 WE'RE AT THE WESTERN WALL, THE KOTEL ON "BAR MITZVAH" DAY
• 03:18 AND WHAT A GREAT PLACE TO TELL YOU THAT JACOB IS THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 03:22 JACOB WHO WILL BECOME ISRAEL IS THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 03:25 AND THE PARALLELS BETWEEN JACOB AND THE LIFE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE IS UNBELIEVABLE.
• 03:29 LISTEN TO THIS.
• 03:30 HE WAS LOVED BEFORE HE WAS BORN
• 03:32 AND SO IT IS WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 03:34 IN ROMANS 9 GOD SAYS THAT JACOB I HAVE LOVED
• 03:37 AND IN JEREMIAH 31 HE SAYS THE SAME THING ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF JACOB, THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 03:43 HE WAS THE OBJECT OF GOD'S ELECTION.
• 03:47 JACOB WAS THE OBJECT OF GOD'S ELECTION
• 03:49 AND IN AMOS 3:2 WE SEE THAT THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE ALSO THE OBJECT OF GOD'S ELECTION.
• 03:55 HE BEARS 12 TRIBES.
• 03:57 12 SONS COME FROM HIM.
• 03:59 AND AS IT IS THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE THE 12 TRIBES.
• 04:03 JACOB IS HIS NAME AND GOD IS NOT ASHAMED TO BE CALLED THE GOD OF JACOB.
• 04:08 IN FACT, WE'RE ADMONISHED AS THE JEWISH PEOPLE TO BRING THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD TO THE WORLD AS THE HOUSE OF JACOB.
• 04:16 ISAIAH 2:5.
• 04:18 GENESIS TELLS US THAT JACOB SHOULD BE SERVED BY THE GENTILE PEOPLE
• 04:21 AND ALSO IT SAYS THAT ABOUT THE JEWISH PEOPLE IN ISAIAH 49,
• 04:25 THAT THEY'RE TO BE SERVED BY THE GENTILES.
• 04:26 WE'RE SEEING THAT TODAY.
• 04:28 IF YOU SAW OUR STAND UP WITH YAN WILLEM VAN DER HOEVAN
• 04:32 YOU KNOW THAT HIS PASSION IS THAT THE GENTILE WORLD, THE CHURCH ESPECIALLY,
• 04:35 WOULD COME AND WOULD SERVE ISRAEL
• 04:37 AND WOULD STAND WITH ISRAEL IN THE DAY IN WHICH WE'RE LIVING.
• 04:40 JACOB HAD AN EARTHLY INHERITANCE
• 04:43 AND SO IT IS WITH THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL.
• 04:45 EVERY YEAR AT PASSOVER WE WOULD SAY
• 04:47 "B'SHANAH H'BA B'YERUSHALAYIM";
• 04:49 THAT WE WOULD BE RETURNED TO THE LAND OF JERUSALEM.
• 04:52 1948...GOD FULFILLED THAT.
• 04:54 JACOB HAD AN EARTHLY INHERITANCE IN THE LAND.
• 04:57 THE JEWISH PEOPLE HAVE OUR EARTHLY INHERITANCE IN THE LAND.
• 05:00 JACOB VALUED THE BLESSING OF GOD.
• 05:02 HE WENT AFTER IT.
• 05:04 AND SO IT IS WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE, WHETHER WE SEE IT OR NOT CLEARLY,
• 05:06 WE HAVE A ZEAL FOR GOD IT TELLS US IN ROMANS.
• 05:09 ALSO, WHILE IN EXILE JACOB WAS MISTREATED BY THOSE AROUND HIM;
• 05:14 LABAN AS A TYPE OF THE TASKMASTER.
• 05:17 SO IT IS FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE PERSECUTED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD IN THE TIME OF EXILE.
• 05:21 AND ALSO LOOKING TOWARDS THE PROMISED LAND LOOKING TO COME BACK.
• 05:26 JACOB WAS MADE WEALTHY BY GOD IN THE TIME THAT HE WAS IN EXILE
• 05:30 AND IN THE TIME HE WAS IN THE LAND.
• 05:32 THE JEWISH PEOPLE IN THE TIME OF OUR WANDERING HAVE BEEN MADE WEALTHY AND BROUGHT BACK TO THE LAND.
• 05:36 THAT WEALTH IS THE CAUSE OF ENMITY
• 05:39 JUST AS IT WAS THE CAUSE OF ENMITY AGAINST JACOB
• 05:41 IT'S THE CAUSE OF ENMITY FROM THE WORLD AGAINST THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 05:44 THERE'S RESENTMENT,
• 05:46 IN FACT, SO MUCH SO THAT JUST AS ESAU CLAIMED THAT THE BIRTHRIGHT WAS STOLEN
• 05:50 EVEN THOUGH IT WAS GOD'S SOVEREIGN CHOICE
• 05:53 SO IT IS TODAY THE SONS OF ESAU ARE SAYING THAT THE PROMISE DOES NOT COME TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE BUT TO THE SONS OF ESAU.
• 05:59 THAT CHALLENGE IS STILL THERE TODAY.
• 06:01 OTHERS TRIED TO DISPLACE AND REPLACE JACOB THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE.
• 06:06 AND SO IT IS WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 06:08 OTHERS HAVE TRIED TO REPLACE AND DISPLACE US
• 06:11 BUT GOD SAYS WE ARE HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE.
• 06:14 AND FINALLY IN THE END JACOB BLESSED THE GENTILE WORLD.
• 06:19 THROUGH HIS SON JOSEPH HE SAVED THE GENTILE WORLD
• 06:22 AND SO IT IS THROUGH THE JEWISH PEOPLE THE MESHIACH WILL COME BACK AND THE ENTIRE WORLD WILL BE BLESSED.
• 06:28 NOT ONLY HAS THE WORLD BEEN BLESSED THROUGH THE PROMISES OF GOD THAT HAVE COME THROUGH ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB;
• 06:34 NOT ONLY THE PROMISES THROUGH ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB
• 06:38 AND THE GREATNESS OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF MEDICINE AND SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, LITERATURE AND THE ARTS
• 06:44 BUT ALSO THROUGH MESSIAH HIMSELF.
• 06:46 AND IN THE END THE ENTIRE WORLD WILL BE BLESSED BECAUSE OF THE SONS OF JACOB,THE JEWISH PEOPLE.

• 07:41 AND JACOB LEFT HIS MOTHER AND FATHER IN BEERSHEBA AND JOURNEYED TOWARD HARAN.
• 07:54 FINDING A SUITABLE STONE FOR A PILLOW HE LAID DOWN AND FELL ASLEEP.
• 08:00 AND JACOB DREAMED THERE WAS A LADDER THAT REACHED UP INTO HEAVEN.
• 08:08 HE SAW ANGELS OF GOD ASCENDING AND DESCENDING.
• 08:13 AND THE LORD SAID, "I AM THE LORD THE GOD OF YOUR GRANDFATHER ABRAHAM."
• 08:19 "I AM THE GOD OF ISAAC."
• 08:21 "I WILL GIVE YOU THE LAND THAT YOU ARE LYING UPON."
• 08:25 "I WILL GIVE THIS LAND TO YOU AND TO YOUR SEED"
• 08:29 "AND YOUR SEED WILL BE LIKE THE DUST OF THE EARTH"
• 08:32 "AND YOU SHALL EXPAND TO THE WEST AND EAST;"
• 08:35 "TO THE NORTH AND TO THE SOUTH."
• 08:37 "ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR DESCENDANTS."
• 08:43 "I AM WITH YOU AND WILL PROTECT YOU WHEREVER YOU GO"
• 08:49 "AND WILL BRING YOU BACK TO THIS LAND."
• 08:51 "I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU UNTIL I HAVE DONE WHAT I HAVE PROMISED."
• 09:03 OVER MY SHOULDER YOU SEE A MODERN INTERPRETATION OF THE LADDER FROM HEAVEN
• 09:08 THAT JACOB EXPERIENCED IN THIS PORTION OF OUR DRAMA.
• 09:11 YOU KNOW IT'S INCREDIBLE; IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE PASSAGES
• 09:14 BECAUSE IT SPEAKS ABOUT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH THAT GOD ALWAYS INTENDED FOR US
• 09:19 AND THAT HE REVEALED TO JACOB.
• 09:21 AS YOU GO FORWARD IN TIME FROM HERE
• 09:23 YESHUA HIMSELF SPOKE TO NATHANIEL IN JOHN 1 VERSES 47 THROUGH 51.
• 09:29 HE SAID THAT YOU BELIEVED I'M THE SON OF GOD BECAUSE I SAID I SAW YOU UNDER THE FIG TREE.
• 09:33 WELL YOU'RE GOING TO SEE GREATER THINGS THAN THIS.
• 09:36 YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ANGELS ASCENDING AND DESCENDING FROM HEAVEN UPON THE SON OF MAN.
• 09:40 AND YESHUA REVEALED HIMSELF AS MESHIACH; AS MESSIAH TO NATHANIEL.
• 09:45 THIS ALL BEGAN WITH JACOB.
• 09:47 IT IS NOT INSIGNIFICANT THAT IT'S JACOB AND NO ONE ELSE TO WHOM THIS VISION WAS REVEALED
• 09:54 BECAUSE IT'S A PICTURE OF THE CONNECTION AND THE ACCESS THAT YESHUA MADE FOR US WITH HEAVEN.
• 10:00 AND THE CONNECTION AND THE ACCESS THAT'S SO DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH
• 10:04 TRIED TO DO ON THE PLAINS OF SHINAR WHEN THEY BUILT THE TOWER OF BABEL
• 10:08 AND THEY TRIED TO REACH UP TO HEAVEN SAYING, LET US MAKE OURSELVES A NAME.
• 10:12 THIS IS THE OPPOSITE.
• 10:13 SOMEONE WISELY SAID RELIGION IS MAN'S ATTEMPT TO REACH GOD
• 10:18 BUT YESHUA, JESUS IS GOD'S ATTEMPT TO KNEEL TO MAN.
• 10:23 IT'S SUCH A DIFFERENT ORDER.
• 10:24 IT'S SUCH A DIFFERENT CALIBER OF REACH.
• 10:27 AND WE WERE THOSE IN NEED.
• 10:29 WE NEEDED THE LADDER TO COME FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH.
• 10:31 WE NEEDED THE ACCESS AND THE CONNECTION TO BE MADE BY GOD HIMSELF
• 10:36 AND SO HE BECAME THE LAMB.
• 10:38 HE MADE HIMSELF A LAMB.
• 10:40 AND BEYOND THAT; PHILIPPIANS 2, VERSES 5 AND FOLLOWING IT SAYS
• 10:43 HE MADE HIMSELF OF NO REPUTATION.
• 10:46 HE THOUGHT IT NOT ROBBERY TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD.
• 10:48 HE WAS OF HEAVEN AND YET HE CAME TO EARTH AND WAS OBEDIENT UNTO DEATH;
• 10:53 THE DEATH OF THE CROSS.
• 10:54 SO THAT WE WOULD KNOW THAT THE DAY WAS COMING
• 10:57 WHEN EVERY KNEE WOULD BOW AND EVERY TONGUE CONFESS
• 11:00 THAT HE IS LORD TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER.
• 11:04 HE IS THE GATE.
• 11:05 HE IS THE DOOR AND HE IS THE LADDER AND WE SEE THAT PICTURED HERE.
• 11:09 AND HE WAS SO GRACIOUS THAT IN THE TANAKH, IN THE TORAH, IN THE EARLIER SCRIPTURES
• 11:14 HE REVEALED HIMSELF TO JACOB IN THIS WAY; THE CROSS FLOWING BACKWARDS AND FLOWING FORWARDS.
• 11:19 WOW! WE'LL BE BACK AFTER THIS.
• 11:28 SHALOM, I'M MYLES WEISS.
• 11:30 AND I'M KATHARINE WEISS
• 11:31 AND WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR PARTNERING WITH US.
• 11:34 YOU KNOW WITHOUT YOUR GIFTS OF FUNDS WE CAN'T CONTINUE WHAT WE'RE DOING

• 11:40 AND WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE OUT THERE
• 11:43 THAT ARE JUST WAITING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE TO THIS MINISTRY,
• 11:46 TO SEE THE JEWISH JESUS REVEALED.
• 11:49 YES, WE'RE SO GRATEFUL TO BE PART OF WHAT GOD IS DOING IN THESE LAST DAYS
• 11:52 AND WE WANT TO DO EVEN MORE AS WE SEE THE DAY APPROACHING.
• 11:55 SO GOD BLESS YOU FOR STANDING WITH US.
• 12:32 MYLES THIS IS MY FAVORITE,
• 12:34 THE STUDYING OF THE WORD OF GOD IS WHERE WE GET OUR FAITH.
• 12:38 REBEKAH SENDS JACOB OUT TO GO FIND A WIFE AND HE FINDS THE LORD.
• 12:45 YEP, IT'S REALLY QUITE A STORY.

• 12:55 WE'D LOVE TO SEND IT TO YOU.
• 12:56 AND OUR RESOURCE THIS WEEK IS THIS SERIES,
• 12:58 "THE SONS OF PROMISE"
• 13:00 ABOUT HOW THE GENERATIONAL BLESSINGS HAVE COME UPON THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 13:03 ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB
• 13:05 AND IS CONTINUING TODAY AS GOD IS USING THE JEWISH PEOPLE TO BLESS THE ENTIRE WORLD
• 13:10 THROUGH MEDICINE, SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, THE ARTS, AND IN MANY OTHER WAYS.
• 13:14 NOW WE'RE GOING TO SEE AS KATHARINE SAID THAT JACOB GOES OUT LOOKING FOR HIS BRIDE AND HE ENCOUNTERS GOD.
• 13:21 WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE SYMBOLS OF THE ROCK AND THE OIL COMING TO LIFE
• 13:24 AS JACOB HAS HIS ENCOUNTER WITH GOD HIMSELF.
• 14:35 HERE WE ARE IN MODERN ISRAEL ON JAFFA STREET
• 14:38 AND WE'RE SEEING THE MIRACLE OF THE REBIRTH OF ISRAEL
• 14:40 BECAUSE WE'RE ALSO SEEING THAT GOD EXTENDS HIS BLESSING FROM ABRAHAM TO ISAAC TO JACOB
• 14:47 AND ISAAC BRINGS JACOB IN AND HE BLESSES THEM THE SECOND TIME
• 14:50 AND HE SAYS YOU WILL NOT TAKE A WIFE FROM THE DAUGHTERS OF CANAAN BUT GO TO OUR FATHER'S HOUSE.
• 14:56 RIGHT, TO OUR OWN PEOPLE;
• 14:58 AND WHEN JACOB AWAKENS FROM HIS DREAM HE RENAMES THIS PLACE FROM LUZ TO BETHEL WHERE HE AWAKENS.
• 15:04 AND LUZ MEANS "SEPARATION". BETHEL MEANS "HOUSE OF GOD".
• 15:07 WE NEED TO BE SEPARATED IN ORDER TO COME IN TO THE HOUSE OF GOD.
• 15:11 THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO ME AND KATHARINE.
• 15:13 THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU IF YOU'RE A BELIEVER.
• 15:14 THAT'S WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOU'RE A PRE-BELIEVER.
• 15:17 WE NEED TO BE SEPARATED FROM THIS WORLD AND BROUGHT INTO BETHEL, THE HOUSE OF GOD.
• 15:22 THAT'S WHAT JACOB WAS SPEAKING ABOUT.
• 15:24 THEN HE ANOINTS THE ROCK THAT IS THERE WITH OIL.
• 15:27 WHAT A PICTURE OF THE ANOINTING OF THE CORNER STONE,
• 15:30 MESHIACH MEANS 'ANOINTED ONE",
• 15:32 MESSIAH, IN ENGLISH "CHRIST".
• 15:34 IT MEANS "ANOINTED ONE".
• 15:36 AND THE ANOINTING THE MESHIACH IS WHAT'S PICTURED HERE.
• 15:39 PETER IN I PETER 2:6 QUOTES ISAIAH 28 AND HE SAYS,
• 15:43 "BEHOLD I LAY IN ZION A STONE, A CORNER STONE, A PRECIOUS STONE
• 15:48 AND HE WHO BELIEVES INTO HIM WILL NOT BE ASHAMED."
• 15:51 AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU AND TO ME.
• 15:53 THE OIL, THE ANOINTING IS ALWAYS SPEAKING ABOUT THE KING AND THE PRIEST;
• 15:56 ALWAYS SPEAKING AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THE ANOINTED ONE...
• 16:00 TO "MESHIACH"; TO MESSIAH.
• 16:02 YOU KNOW THE RABBIS SAY THAT JACOB PLACED OIL UPON THE HEAD OF THE STONE.
• 16:07 WHAT A PICTURE OF THE ANOINTING ON THE CORNER STONE YESHUA.
• 16:12 AND HERE'S THE PROMISE TO JACOB,
• 16:14 "I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU, I WILL WATCH OVER YOU AND I WILL BRING YOU BACK TO YOUR LAND."
• 16:19 AND THAT'S WHAT HE'S DONE FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE;
• 16:21 HE HAS NOT LEFT US, HE HAS WATCHED OVER US, AND HE HAS BROUGHT US BACK TO THE LAND
• 16:26 AND THAT'S A PROMISE TO YOU AS WELL.
• 16:28 IF YOU'RE A BELIEVER IN MESSIAH HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU;
• 16:30 HE WILL WATCH OVER YOU; AND HE WILL BRING YOU INTO YOUR LAND.
• 16:52 THERE'S NOTHING LIKE HEARING THE WORD ON LOCATION ABOUT WHAT WE'RE SPEAKING ABOUT MYLES.
• 16:57 YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB.
• 16:59 WELL THANKS.
• 17:00 REALLY IT'S THE PICTURE OF THE THOUSAND GENERATIONS.
• 17:03 LISTEN TO THIS FROM PSALM 105, VERSE 7,
• 17:13 WE'RE ABOUT TO MEET SOME OF THOSE GENERATIONS
• 17:15 BUT LISTEN TO THIS,
• 17:24 SO GOD MENTIONS EVEN IN PSALMS HOW THE NAME CHANGE THAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN;
• 17:29 WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE TRANSFORMATION
• 17:31 IS ACTUALLY FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.
• 17:33 AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO INTERVIEW MESSIANIC BELIEVERS ON SITE IN ISRAEL.
• 17:38 THESE KIDS; I CALL THEM KIDS;
• 17:40 THEY'RE WONDERFUL, MATURE YOUNG ADULTS.
• 17:42 THEY SERVE IN THE ARMY AND THEY ARE MINISTERING THROUGHOUT THE LAND.
• 17:46 SOME OF THEM ARE REAL INVOLVED WITH RECONCILIATION BETWEEN YOUNG JEWISH KIDS AND ARAB KIDS
• 17:51 AND THEY'RE JUST FULL OF LIFE.
• 17:53 IT WAS SUCH A PRIVILEGE FOR US TO BE THERE IN JERUSALEM
• 17:56 AND TO INTERVIEW THESE MESSIANIC BELIEVERS.
• 17:58 SO SPEAKING OF "SONS OF PROMISE"
• 18:00 LET'S GO TO OUR INTERVIEWS WITH SOME OF THE ACTUAL SONS OF PROMISE TODAY IN ISRAEL.
• 18:07 YOSI YOU ARE A NATIVE ISRAELI, SABRA.
• 18:10 WHAT PART OF ISRAEL DID YOU GROW UP IN?
• 18:12 I GREW UP ACTUALLY
• 18:14 IN MATEH YEHUDA AREA.
• 18:16 THAT'S LIKE KIBBUTZ MOSHAV AREA.
• 18:19 AND THEN I MOVED TO JERUSALEM AT THE AGE OF TWELVE.
• 18:21 AND YOU'RE WORKING IN MEDIA AND WE'RE SITTING HERE OUTSIDE THE PAVILION OF KING OF KINGS
• 18:28 AND YOU ALSO HAVE A JOURNEY OF FAITH.
• 18:31 CAN YOU TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT?
• 18:33 AT THE AGE OF SIXTEEN, I BASICALLY FELL FROM MY FAITH...
• 18:37 DIDN'T BELIEVE IT ANYMORE.
• 18:39 DURING THE ARMY PERIOD I STARTED BELIEVING AGAIN.
• 18:41 I CAME TO A POINT WHERE I WAS REALLY STRESSED AND REALLY BROKEN
• 18:45 WHERE I ASKED GOD TO COME BACK IN MY LIFE AND INTERVENE.
• 18:49 SO IT TOOK MAYBE TWO WEEKS
• 18:53 AND I WAS REALLY READING THE BIBLE EVERY DAY AND HAVING A GOOD TIME.
• 18:57 IF YOU HAVE A MESSAGE FOR AMERICAN YOUNG PEOPLE WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THEM?
• 19:02 JUST BE READY TO HEAR GOD IN THE STORM.
• 19:07 JUST LISTEN TO HIM.
• 19:09 AND DO YOU FEEL THAT THERE'S A CERTAIN WAY THAT WE CAN STAND WITH ISRAEL,
• 19:14 ANYTHING THAT OUR VIEWERS CAN KNOW ABOUT STANDING WITH THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN ISRAEL?
• 19:17 WELL ISRAEL IS ABOUT TO FACE A LOT OF HARD TIMES THAT ARE COMING AHEAD.
• 19:23 THE MAIN THING YOU CAN DO IS KEEP TALKING TO YOUR NEIGHBORS,
• 19:26 KEEP TALKING POSITIVE ABOUT ISRAEL AND THE MORE SUPPORT WE HAVE THE MORE WE CAN GIVE.
• 19:32 JAMIE WE ARE HERE OUTSIDE PAVILION WHERE KING OF KINGS MEETS FROM HERE SUNDAY NIGHT.
• 19:37 YOU DID A GREAT JOB OF LEADING WORSHIP.
• 19:38 THANK YOU
• 19:40 TELL ME WHAT'S YOUR...
• 19:41 YOUR WORK HERE IS AS A WORSHIP LEADER
• 19:43 BUT YOU'RE ALSO INVOLVED WITH RECONCILIATIONS.
• 19:45 TELL US ABOUT THAT.
• 19:47 WELL MY ROLE AT KING OF KINGS IS THE YOUNG ADULTS DIRECTOR AND A MUSIC DIRECTOR.
• 19:52 IN OUR YOUNG ADULTS WE HAVE MOSTLY INTERNATIONAL YOUNG ADULTS
• 19:56 BUT WE ALSO HAVE JEWISH AND ARAB PEOPLE WHO ATTEND THE GROUP.
• 19:59 BUT I ALSO WORK WITH SOME RECONCILIATION MINISTRIES
• 20:03 ESPECIALLY TO PROMOTE WORSHIP EVENTS THAT ARE BOTH IN HEBREW AND IN ARABIC.
• 20:07 I FIND MUSIC IS ALWAYS A REALLY POWERFUL TOOL TO UNITE PEOPLE
• 20:11 TO JUST KIND OF GET THE TENSION DOWN
• 20:13 AND GET PEOPLE THAT'S IN THE SAME ROOM WORSHIPPING TOGETHER
• 20:16 AND JUST CHANGING THE ATMOSPHERE SO THAT THERE CAN BE A LITTLE BIT MORE DIALOGUE.
• 20:19 AND JUST TO SEE... LIKE LAST YEAR WE HAD A WORSHIP EVENT
• 20:23 JUST TO SEE LIKE ARAB BELIEVERS GETTING UP ON THE SHOULDERS OF A JEWISH PERSON AND DANCING AROUND
• 20:28 LIKE A WEDDING...
• 20:29 TO ME, JUST SEEING THAT KIND OF ATMOSPHERE...
• 20:34 I DON'T THINK OUR VIEWERS REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S A MOVEMENT HERE IN ISRAEL
• 20:38 FOR JEWS AND ARABS ESPECIALLY YOUNG PEOPLE TO WORSHIP TOGETHER AND TO COME TO KNOW EACH OTHER.
• 20:43 AND YOU KNOW TO BE HONEST I WISH IT WAS MORE PREVALENT THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW.
• 20:48 AND RIGHT NOW I'M SEEING SEEDS HERE AND THERE
• 20:50 AND I WISH IT WAS MORE PREVALENT BUT I SEE IT HAPPENING MORE AND MORE
• 20:55 AND IT'S JUST EXCITING TO SEE PEOPLE EVEN BEING WILLING TO SING IN THE LANGUAGE OF YOUR ENEMY QUOTE UN-QUOTE.
• 21:03 IT'S AN AMAZING THING TO SEE.
• 21:05 SOME PEOPLE MIGHT SAY TODAY THAT THE PROMISES ARE OVER...
• 21:09 YOU KNOW, FOR ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB...
• 21:11 THE PROMISES ARE DONE AWAY.
• 21:13 DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO SHARE ABOUT THAT?
• 21:15 IT'S NOT OVER.
• 21:16 NOT OVER
• 21:17 I THINK IT INCLUDES EVERYONE,
• 21:18 NOT JUST THE JEWISH PEOPLE AS WELL
• 21:20 BUT EVERYONE WHO ACCEPTS YESHUA AS THEIR SAVIOR IS PART OF IT.
• 21:26 YEAH...ABRAHAM WAS THE FATHER OF FAITH
• 21:28 AND THAT PROMISE WENT TO ALL NATIONS.
• 21:30 IT STARTED WITH ABRAHAM; WENT THROUGH ISAAC AND JACOB AND ALSO INCLUDING ESAU.
• 21:35 YOU KNOW WE'VE REALLY BEEN EMPHASIZING THAT GOD HAS A DESTINY FOR THE PEOPLE...
• 21:38 THE ARAB PEOPLE AND OUR MESSAGE IS LOVE.
• 21:42 YES, EXACTLY
• 21:43 I KNOW YOURS IS TOO
• 21:45 SO DO YOU WORK HERE IN ISRAEL?
• 21:46 I WORK AT A SECURITY.
• 21:49 IT'S A GOOD EXPERIENCE
• 21:51 AND IT'S ALSO I THINK AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO SHARE MORE ABOUT THE LOVE OF GOD
• 21:56 BOTH JEWISH AND THE ARAB NATION.
• 21:58 I ALSO AM LOVING THE ARAB NATION AS WELL.
• 22:02 I HAVE MANY FRIENDS
• 22:03 AND I TRY TO SHARE AS MUCH AS I CAN.
• 22:05 THAT IS AWESOME.
• 22:07 DO YOU HAVE ANY MESSAGE FOR AMERICA HOW WE COULD STAND WITH ISRAEL
• 22:11 OR PRAY FOR THE BELIEVERS HERE IN THE LAND?
• 22:14 YEAH...IT'S TO KEEP US IN YOUR PRAYERS
• 22:18 AND THAT WE WOULD BE MORE WILLING TO LOVE OUR ENEMIES AS WELL
• 22:23 BECAUSE IT'S AN ODD SITUATION AND WE'RE LIKE ON BOTH SIDES
• 22:27 AND WE DON'T KNOW WHO TO REALLY FOLLOW THE MOST
• 22:31 AND WE'RE ALWAYS REMEMBERING THAT IN THE BIBLE IT IS WRITTEN WE SHOULD LOVE OUR ENEMIES AS WELL.
• 22:37 SO WE DO NEED PRAYER OF THAT AND THAT WE WILL ACTUALLY BE IN ONE.
• 22:43 AND RIGHT THERE I FELT LIKE...
• 22:45 I DON'T KNOW...
• 22:46 I CAN CALL IT THE HOLY SPIRIT...
• 22:47 I CAN CALL IT SOMETHING...
• 22:49 THE RUACH HA-KODESH
• 22:50 BUT I FELT LIKE PERFECT TIME, PERFECT PLACE.
• 22:52 I FELT THE RIGHT TIME, THE RIGHT PLACE...
• 22:54 EVERYTHING WAS THE BEST MOMENT
• 22:57 AND THIS IS WHERE I THINK THAT I DID THE DECISION OF MOVING FROM WHERE I WAS BETWEEN THE JUDAISM, BELIEVING IN GOD,
• 23:05 NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT M'LACHA AND STARTING TO GO AFTER JESUS.
• 23:11 IT'S REALLY AN AMAZING STORY BECAUSE A LOT LIKE ISAAC AND JACOB'S STORY.
• 23:15 GOD'S ORDERING YOUR STEPS AND HE'S BRINGING YOU INTO THESE SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCES
• 23:20 TO PREPARE YOU TO SAY "YES" TO YESHUA.
• 23:23 AND YOU'RE STILL COMPLETELY JEWISH.
• 23:24 THAT DOES NOT CHANGE.
• 23:26 YOU'RE AS JEWISH AS YOU'VE EVER BEEN
• 23:27 AND MAYBE MORE SO WITH MESHIACH
• 23:29 BUT VERY NORMAL, VERY TYPICAL.
• 23:31 SO WHAT'S YOUR HOPE FOR AMERICAN YOUNG PEOPLE?
• 23:36 WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THEM REGARDING ISRAEL?
• 23:39 WHAT DO THEY NEED TO HEAR ABOUT ISRAEL AND THE SPIRITUAL LIFE HERE?
• 23:44 ANYTHING YOU WANT TO TELL THEM?
• 23:46 OKAY...BASICALLY ISRAEL IS A UNIQUE PLACE.
• 23:48 AND THIS IS FUNNY BECAUSE EVERYBODY CAN SEE IT.
• 23:52 IT'S LIKE SO SMALL PLACE ON EARTH AND MAKES SO MUCH NOISE AROUND THE WORLD
• 23:57 AND I DON'T KNOW WHY
• 24:01 BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN AFRICA BUT NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT.
• 24:05 SO THIS IS SHOWING US THAT ALL THE EYES OF THE WORLD ARE LOOKING TO HERE
• 24:11 AND IF WE LOOK BACK IN THE PAST
• 24:16 WE CAN FIND OUT THAT WHEN THE ISRAELITES WASN'T HERE IN THIS LAND,
• 24:19 THIS LAND WAS DYING AND WASN'T SUCCESS, WASN'T CALLED THE MILK AND HONEY LAND.
