Caption transcript for Journey of Restoration: “In the Footsteps of History” (7/10)

• 00:05 I LOVE ISRAEL,
• 00:06 I LOVE THE PEOPLE.
• 00:08 IT'S TOTALLY SO...
• 00:09 IT'S INDESCRIBABLE.
• 00:11 IT FEELS LIKE HOME...
• 00:12 IT JUST FEELS LIKE HOME.
• 00:14 WELCOME TO JERUSALEM...
• 00:15 IT JUST TOOK MY BREATH AWAY.
• 00:17 IT JUST SHOWS THE FINGER PRINT OF GOD EVERYWHERE.
• 00:19 TO REALIZE HOW SPECIAL THIS CITY AND THE PEOPLE WERE TO THE LORD...
• 00:23 IT'S GOD'S CHOSEN LAND AND JESUS WALKED ON IT.
• 00:28 I THINK THERE'S A RESTORATION AS PASTOR MYLES TALKED ABOUT.
• 00:31 HOW GOD IS REALLY GATHERING THE JEWS.
• 00:36 THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST WE'VE BEEN GRAFTED-IN
• 00:39 AND NOW THIS IS OUR CITY ALSO.
• 00:52 SHALOM AND WELCOME TO OUR PROGRAM.
• 00:54 I'M MYLES WEISS
• 00:55 AND I'M KATHARINE WEISS.
• 00:57 AND WE ARE CONTINUING OUR JOURNEY OF RESTORATION.
• 01:00 GOD IS RESTORING ISRAEL, THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 01:03 AND BRINGING THE NATIONS UP TO WORSHIP IN JERUSALEM.
• 01:06 IN FACT TODAY WE'RE GOING TO BE AT THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
• 01:09 WE'RE GOING TO BE NEAR THE WESTERN WALL AND REALLY SEE THE HEART OF THE MATTER.
• 01:13 DO YOU KNOW THAT THE VERY NAME FOR GOD IS IN JERUSALEM?
• 01:16 THE "SHIN", THE LETTER "SHIN" IN HEBREW IS THE BEGINNING OF THE WORD FOR EL SHADAI
• 01:22 AND JERUSALEM'S CALLED THE MEZUZAH OF THE WORLD, THE GATES OF THE WORLD,
• 01:28 BECAUSE GOD COMES THERE; HE PUTS HIS NAME THERE
• 01:31 AND IT'S AS IF THE INVISIBLE BECOMES VISIBLE IN JERUSALEM.
• 01:34 THE VERY RAVINES, THE VERY VALLEYS OF JERUSALEM FORM THE LETTER "SHIN"
• 01:40 AND SO GOD PUT HIS NAME THERE.
• 01:42 THE HEBREW WORD SHIN >>YES
• 01:44 I LOVE IT
• 01:46 AND ALSO IN PSALM 122 IT SAYS
• 01:57 SO LET'S GO NOW TO THE WESTERN WALL.
• 02:02 OKAY RIGHT NOW WE'RE ALL FACING HEROD'S WESTERN RETAINING WALL
• 02:08 ALSO KNOWN AS "THE WAILING WALL".
• 02:11 WHY WAILING?
• 02:13 IT SAYS ALL CRYING.
• 02:15 THE PEOPLE ARE COMING HERE TO PRAY.
• 02:17 THEY STILL REMEMBER THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE.
• 02:20 NOW WE ARE STANDING AND THE PEOPLE ARE STANDING, THOSE THAT ARE FACING THE WALL,
• 02:26 THEY ARE MUCH HIGHER IN RELATION TO THE STREET LEVEL BACK THEN.
• 02:30 2,000 YEARS AGO STREET LEVEL WOULD HAVE BEEN 45 FEET LOWER.
• 02:35 SO WE ARE ALL STANDING ON RUINS...
• 02:37 LOTS OF RUINS UNDERNEATH.
• 02:39 AND WHAT YOU SEE TODAY IT IS ONLY A SMALL REMNANT OUT OF A MUCH LONGER WALL
• 02:45 WHICH BEGAN AT THE CORNER RIGHT HERE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE TEMPLE MOUNT PLATFORM
• 02:52 AND ENDED FAR AWAY FROM HERE
• 02:54 WHERE IS THE MUSLIM QUARTER TODAY A DISTANCE OF AT LEAST 1600 FEET.
• 03:00 AND SO IT WAS A MUCH LONGER WALL.
• 03:02 THE REASON WE CANNOT SEE IT ALL
• 03:04 BECAUSE IT WAS COVERED UP OVER THE YEARS BY DIFFERENT BUILDING STRUCTURES
• 03:08 THAT WERE BUILT RIGHT NEXT TO IT.
• 03:10 BUT THE WALL HE LEFT TO IMAGINE
• 03:12 WENT ON FOR ANOTHER 1600 FEET AND THE STREET LEVEL MUCH LOWER.
• 03:18 THE AVERAGE WEIGHT OF THE STONES HERE IS BETWEEN 5 TO 10 TONS.
• 03:24 AND THE SMALLEST STONE WEIGHED ABOUT 2 AND A HALF TONS IN THE WALL.
• 03:32 BUT IT WAS NOT, REMEMBER, NOT ONE OF THE TEMPLE WALLS.
• 03:37 THE TEMPLE WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH HIGHER.
• 03:39 LOOK AT THE GOLDEN DOME.
• 03:41 REMEMBER WE ARE TOLD ABOUT IT TODAY THAT DURING THE FIRST TEMPLE, SOLOMON'S TEMPLE,
• 03:47 THE TEMPLE WOULD HAVE BEEN RIGHT THERE WHERE WE SEE TODAY THE DOME OF THE ROCK;
• 03:51 IN HEROD'S TIME COULD BE A POSSIBILITY THAT THE TEMPLE WAS MORE TO THE LEFT...
• 03:56 MORE TO THE NORTH.
• 03:58 SO WHY IT BECAME SUCH A HOLY GROUND FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 04:01 BECAUSE IF YOU STAND HERE IT'S THE CLOSEST YOU CAN GET
• 04:05 TO THE HOLY OF HOLIES,
• 04:07 TO THE LOCATION OF TEMPLE.
• 04:09 REMEMBER THE ENTRANCE TO THE TEMPLE WAS FROM THE EAST IN
• 04:12 AND THE INNER SECTION OF THE INNER ROOM IN THE TEMPLE WAS KNOWN AS "THE HOLY OF HOLIES".
• 04:18 SO THE BACK WALL OF THE HOLY OF HOLIES,
• 04:20 THE BACK WALL OF THE TEMPLE WAS RELATIVELY CLOSE TO THE WALL YOU ARE LOOKING AT.
• 04:26 SINCE JEWS CANNOT GO UP AND PRAY...
• 04:30 CHRISTIANS NOT ALLOWED...
• 04:31 YOU CAN GO UP AND VISIT 2 HOURS IN A DAY
• 04:33 BUT YOU CANNOT GO UP THERE AND WORSHIP AND PRAY.
• 04:36 SO IT BECAME A VERY HOLY GROUND FOR THE PEOPLE
• 04:39 AND REMINDER OF THE TEMPLE.
• 04:41 NOT TO FORGET THAT THE PEOPLE ARE COMING HERE THAT ARE NOT COMING TO WORSHIP STONES.
• 04:45 THEY ARE PRAYING TO GOD
• 04:47 BUT THIS IS MORE LIKE A REMINDER OF THE GLORIOUS PAST AND THE TEMPLE.
• 04:52 SOON YOU WILL HAVE TIME TO WALK DOWN
• 04:55 AND IT IS CUSTOMARY PEOPLE ARE COMING HERE WITH THE WISHING NOTES,
• 05:00 PRAY NOTES THAT YOU SEE THEM PUTTING THE NOTES IN-BETWEEN THE STONES OF THE WALL.
• 05:06 IT IS A HOLY GROUND AS IT IS IN THE SYNAGOGUE.
• 05:09 THERE IS A DIVIDER HERE BETWEEN WOMEN AND MEN.
• 05:13 SO THE WOMEN SHOULD WALK STRAIGHT DOWN
• 05:16 AND THE MEN LEFT AND THEN ONLY THEN TURN RIGHT DOWN TO THE WALL.
• 05:22 (Myles Weiss speaking) I NEVER TIRE OF VISITING THE WALL.
• 05:25 HOW AWESOME IT IS TO STAND
• 05:27 WITHIN THE SHADOW OF THE SITE
• 05:28 THAT WAS ONCE GOD'S RESIDENCE ON PLANET EARTH.
• 05:30 AND HOW COMFORTING TO KNOW HE STILL HEARS EVERY PRAYER
• 05:35 AND STILLS BECKONS,
• 05:37 CALL UNTO ME AND I WILL ANSWER YOU.
• 05:40 JUST AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE WESTERN WALL ARE THE SOUTHERN STEPS OF THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
• 05:45 YESHUA KNEW THESE STEPS WELL
• 05:47 ASCENDING THEM FREQUENTLY WHEN GOING TO THE TEMPLE.
• 05:52 THIS IS ONE OF THE X MARKS THE SPOT PLACES.
• 05:56 THIS IS THE ACTUAL SOUTHERN STEPS.
• 05:59 NOW MIXED IN YOU'LL SEE SOME MORE MODERN STONE
• 06:02 BUT THE REALITY IS THAT THESE ARE THE STEPS WHERE YESHUA TAUGHT
• 06:06 AND THESE ARE LIKELY THE STEPS WHERE PETER PREACHED THE PENTECOST SERMON.
• 06:11 WE KNOW THAT THE BEGINNING OF THE OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS IN THE UPPER ROOM
• 06:15 BUT THERE WAS NO WAY FOR 3,000 TO BE BAPTIZED IN A DAY IN THAT PROXIMITY,
• 06:21 HOWEVER, ALL AROUND THE SOUTHERN STEPS OF THE TEMPLE THERE ARE MIKVOT,
• 06:25 THERE ARE BAPTISMALS EVERYWHERE AROUND HERE.
• 06:28 SO IT'S VERY LIKELY THAT THIS IS THE ACTUAL PLACE WHERE THAT SERMON CAME FORWARD
• 06:33 AND WHERE REPENTANCE TOOK PLACE
• 06:35 AND WHERE 3,000 WERE BORN AGAIN
• 06:37 AND THE CHURCH BEGAN REALLY IN THE UPPER ROOM AND HERE.
• 06:41 NOW WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS PLACE, ONE OF THE THINGS,
• 06:43 THERE'S SEVERAL THINGS...
• 06:44 ONE IS THAT YOU'LL NOTICE AFTERWARDS WHEN YOU WALK UP THERE
• 06:47 THAT IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO WALK UP IN THE POWER OF YOUR OWN STRENGTH.
• 06:51 THE WAY THE STEPS ARE SITUATED THEY KIND OF FORCE YOU TO TAKE A MOMENT AND REORIENT
• 06:57 AND TAKE ANOTHER STEP AND REORIENT.
• 06:59 IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU HAVE TO COME UP IN A SENSE OF HUMILITY.
• 07:04 THE COMING UP TO THE MOST GLORIOUS TEMPLE POSSIBLE
• 07:08 AND THEY COME FROM ALL OVER THE KNOWN WORLD.
• 07:11 THREE TIMES A YEAR THE JEWISH PEOPLE WERE EXHORTED,
• 07:14 COMMANDED TO COME UP TO JERUSALEM TO WORSHIP.
• 07:18 AND THE THREE MAJOR FEAST PERIODS WERE TO ALWAYS BE FILLED
• 07:22 WITH THOUSANDS OF JEWS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND THOSE CONVERTS,
• 07:26 THOSE THAT HAD KNIT THEMSELVES TO THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL.
• 07:29 THEY WOULD COME UP HERE HAVING DONE WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO
• 07:32 TO GET THE TAX PAID AND TO GET THEIR SACRIFICE
• 07:35 AND THEY WOULD HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME ORIENTING
• 07:38 BECAUSE THERE WAS A WAY THAT GOD PUT IN THIS PROCESS
• 07:42 THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIS HOLINESS AND OUR HUMILITY, OUR NEED.
• 07:48 AND IT'S A WONDERFUL PICTURE FOR US OF HOW WE COME TO THE LORD.
• 07:51 WE COME TO HIM OPEN HEARTED SAYING, GOD HELP ME
• 07:55 AND THAT'S A GREAT WAY.
• 07:57 REMEMBER WAY BACK TO THE BAPTISM AT THE JORDAN, THE LOW PLACE.
• 08:01 WELL THIS IS ANOTHER VERSION OF THAT WHERE YOU HAVE TO ORIENT AROUND GOD'S MAJESTY.
• 08:07 NOW, HERE'S THE SYMMETRY OF GOD.
• 08:09 I LOVE US.
• 08:11 THIS IS MATHEMATICAL SYMMETRY.
• 08:13 WE WONDER, WHAT ARE THE HEBREW ROOTS OF THE FAITH?
• 08:16 WHAT'S THE CONNECTION BETWEEN WAY BACK WHEN
• 08:18 FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND THE BIRTH OF THE CHURCH AS WE KNOW IT.
• 08:22 AT SINAI THAT WAS THE FIRST PENTECOST.
• 08:25 IT WAS 50 DAYS AFTER THE PASSOVER IN EGYPT.
• 08:29 50 DAYS AFTER THE PASSOVER IN EGYPT
• 08:31 THE JEWISH PEOPLE COME OUT INTO THE WILDERNESS
• 08:35 BECAUSE GOD SAID I'M GOING TO BRING THEM OUT TO WORSHIP ME.
• 08:39 THEY COME OUT 50 DAYS LATER AND THEY ARE AT THE FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN AT SINAI.
• 08:45 AT THE FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME REALLY SINCE THE BONDAGE, THE 400 YEARS PLUS, THEY BECOME A NATION.
• 08:53 THEY BECOME A NATION.
• 08:55 THEY'RE KNIT TOGETHER AT THE FOOT OF MOUNTAIN AS A NATION.
• 08:59 WELL 50 DAYS AFTER THE CROSS THE CHURCH WAS BORN
• 09:03 AND WE BECOME A NATION OF KINGS AND PRIESTS UNTO THE LORD.
• 09:08 50 DAYS AFTER PASSOVER IN THE WILDERNESS AT THE FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN
• 09:13 THERE'S SMOKE AND THUNDERING AND LIGHTNING AND THE AWESOMENESS OF GOD.
• 09:18 50 DAYS AFTER THE CROSS TONGUES OF FIRE LAND ON THE HEADS OF THE DISCIPLES
• 09:26 AND THEY ARE TOUCHED BY THE LIGHTNING OF GOD IN THE UPPER ROOM.
• 09:30 50 DAYS AFTER THE PASSOVER AT SINAI 3,000 WERE SLAUGHTERED BECAUSE OF DISOBEDIENCE.
• 09:38 50 DAYS AFTER THE CROSS 3,000 WERE BORN AGAIN BECAUSE GOD IS REDEMPTIVE.
• 09:45 50 DAYS AFTER THE PASSOVER IN EGYPT AND COMING OUT OF EGYPT GOD GAVE US THE LAW.
• 09:53 HE GAVE US THE TORAH, THE GUIDANCE THAT WE NEED.
• 09:57 AND 50 DAYS AFTER YESHUA WENT TO THE CROSS THE LAW WAS WRITTEN ON OUR HEARTS AS THE CHURCH OF GOD.
• 10:04 PERFECT SYMMETRY; A MATHEMATICAL PERFECTION.
• 10:10 MATHEMATICIANS CALL IT ELEGANCE
• 10:11 BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A WORD TO DESCRIBE SOMETHING SO OUTRAGEOUS SO AWESOME.
• 10:17 AND SO HERE IT IS.
• 10:18 THE BIRTH OF THE CHURCH AS WE KNOW IT
• 10:20 HAS ROOTS THAT GO ALL THE WAY BACK
• 10:23 TO THE SALVATION OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE FROM THE BONDAGE OF EGYPT.
• 10:27 JUST AS WE WERE SET FREE FROM OUR SINS THE ISRAELITES WERE SET FREE FROM THE BONDAGE OF EGYPT.
• 10:32 AND GOD DOES THAT INCREDIBLE BALANCING ACT AND HE BRINGS US INTO THIS PLACE.
• 10:37 AND WE KNOW THAT THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE YESHUA TAUGHT.
• 10:41 SO AS YOU SPEND YOUR TIME HERE ENJOY THAT FACT THAT THIS IS ONE OF THOSE "X" MARKS THE SPOT.
• 10:48 THIS IS A PLACE WHERE JESUS HIMSELF TAUGHT HIS DISCIPLES AND THE MULTITUDES.
• 10:53 AND THIS IS WHERE PETER PREACHED THE SERMON
• 10:55 THAT LED TO THE BIRTH OF THE CHURCH BEGINNING WITH THE 3,000. AMEN?

• 13:10 (Myles Weiss speaking) THE GARDEN TOMB IS ALWAYS ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE HIGHLIGHTS
• 13:13 OF THE TOUR THROUGH THE HOLY LAND.
• 13:16 AND PILGRIMS COME FROM EVERY NATION TO REMEMBER OUR LORD'S FINAL DAYS ON EARTH.
• 13:20 THE ROLLING STONE...
• 13:22 THE EMPTY TOMB...
• 13:24 AND THE SIGN INSIDE THE TOMB WHICH STATES
• 13:27 "HE IS NOT HERE FOR HE HAS RISEN"
• 13:31 OUR GROUP GATHERED TOGETHER ADJACENT TO THE TOMB
• 13:33 AS WE REMEMBERED OUR LORD'S ULTIMATE SACRIFICE IN HOLY COMMUNION.
• 13:39 THIS JOURNEY HAS BEEN SO MUCH ABOUT THE ROOTS OF OUR FAITH
• 13:47 THAT GOES SO DEEP THROUGH THE PEOPLE INTO THE LAND HERE.
• 13:52 AND THE COMMUNION SERVICE IS NOT DIFFERENT.
• 13:55 THE COMMUNION SERVICE...
• 13:56 REMEMBER WAY BACK AT THE JORDAN RIVER
• 13:59 WE TALKED ABOUT HOW A THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE JOHN WAS IMMERSING.
• 14:03 THE JEWISH PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT IMMERSING FOR REPENTANCE
• 14:06 AND IT WAS A NORMAL PART OF JEWISH LIFE,
• 14:09 A NORMAL PART OF HEBREW LIFE.
• 14:11 WELL SO IT IS WITH COMMUNION.
• 14:13 COMMUNION DIDN'T POP OUT OF RITUAL GOLD CANS SOMEWHERE IN A CHURCH.
• 14:19 IT GOES BACK TO THE PASSOVER THAT YESHUA KEPT WITH HIS DISCIPLES.
• 14:25 AND HERE, THE PLACE THAT MAY BE THE PLACE OF THE RESURRECTION
• 14:30 IT'S THE PERFECT PLACE TO CELEBRATE COMMUNION AND TO THANK HIM FOR WHAT HE'S DONE.
• 14:36 I LOVE THE WAY THE DOCENTS, THE LEADERS, YOU KNOW, THE GUIDES
• 14:40 THE WAY THEY SAY, WELL WE'RE NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE PLACE
• 14:43 BUT WE DO KNOW THAT HE IS THE MAN.
• 14:45 WE'RE NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE EXACT PLACE
• 14:47 BUT THE EMPTY TOMB IS NOT WHAT THE...
• 14:49 THE TOMB IS NOT IMPORTANT
• 14:51 IT'S THE EMPTY TOMB THAT IS IMPORTANT.
• 14:53 AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE CELEBRATING WHEN WE TAKE COMMUNION.
• 14:55 IT WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE A RITUAL
• 14:58 BUT WAS ALWAYS INTENDED TO BE A TIME OF INTIMACY WITH THE LORD.
• 15:02 AND I KNOW STORIES AND I'VE BEEN TOUCHED BY GOD PHYSICALLY DURING COMMUNION SERVICES
• 15:09 AND I'VE HEARD OF PEOPLE BEING HEALED DURING COMMUNION SERVICES.
• 15:12 IT'S A MEETING PLACE WITH THE LORD HIMSELF.
• 15:15 IT'S A PLACE WHERE HEAVEN AND EARTH MEET.
• 15:18 AND IN THIS SERVICE OF THE PASSOVER THERE'S A PERFECT TIME
• 15:23 THAT ONLY YESHUA COULD INSTITUTE COMMUNION,
• 15:27 WHAT WE NOW USE AS COMMUNION
• 15:29 BECAUSE THERE ARE 4 CUPS OF WINE THAT ARE USED IN THE COMMUNION SERVICE
• 15:33 AND THE 3RD CUP IS THE CUP OF REDEMPTION.
• 15:37 AND THAT'S WHEN HE SAID THIS IS MY BLOOD.
• 15:41 THAT'S WHEN HE INSTITUTED WHAT WE NOW KNOW AS COMMUNION.
• 15:45 AND HE SAID TO THE JEWISH DISCIPLES AND THEREFORE TO ALL GENERATIONS,
• 15:49 WHENEVER YOU DO THIS, MEANING THE PASSOVER,
• 15:52 AND WHENEVER YOU TAKE THE BLOOD AND THE BREAD...
• 15:56 THE WINE AND THE BREAD,
• 15:57 WHENEVER YOU DO THIS DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.
• 16:00 HE CHANGED FOREVER THE INNER MEANING OF THE PASSOVER
• 16:04 BECAUSE HE IS THE PASSOVER LAMB.
• 16:07 AND SO ALL OF HEBREW HISTORY LOOKED FORWARD TO THAT MOMENT AND WE LOOK BACK AT THAT MOMENT
• 16:13 AND REALIZE THAT THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF PROPHECY LED TO THAT CROSS
• 16:17 AND THAT WAS GOD'S INTENTION WAS THAT WE WOULD RECEIVE THE PASSOVER LAMB
• 16:24 WHO ALONE COULD TAKE AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD...
• 16:26 YOUR SINS AND MY SINS.
• 16:29 AND IT'S IN THAT MEETING PLACE...
• 16:31 IT WAS DONE IN A FAMILY SETTING.
• 16:33 IT WAS DONE WITH THE GUYS THAT HAD BEEN WALKING WITH FOR THREE YEARS.
• 16:37 IT WAS NOT RITUAL.
• 16:39 AND YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT THEY WERE GOING THROUGH
• 16:41 AS THEY WERE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THESE CHANGES THAT WERE BEING IMPLEMENTED
• 16:46 AND THEN THE NEXT DAY THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND IT COMPLETELY
• 16:49 BECAUSE AT THE TIME WHEN THE HIGH PRIEST WAS IN THE TEMPLE
• 16:53 CUTTING THE THROAT OF THE SACRIFICE FOR PASSOVER
• 16:57 AND SAYING, "NEGMAR", IT IS FINISHED.
• 17:03 YESHUA WAS ON THE CROSS SAYING, "NEGMAR", IT IS FINISHED.
• 17:08 AND ONCE AND FOR ALL THE SACRIFICE WAS DONE.
• 17:12 AND SO WHEN WE TAKE COMMUNION TOGETHER IT'S AS...
• 17:16 REALLY ALMOST AS A WEDDING SACRAMENT
• 17:19 BECAUSE THAT THIRD CUP, THAT CUP OF REDEMPTION ALSO LOOKS TO THE HEBREW WEDDING.
• 17:24 AND WHEN A YOUNG MAN WAS WANTING TO BETROTH A YOUNG WOMAN
• 17:28 HE WOULD BRING THAT CUP AND PLACE IT BEFORE HER.
• 17:31 AND IF SHE DRANK FROM THAT CUP THEN THEY WERE BETROTHED WHICH WAS AS GOOD AS MARRIAGE.
• 17:36 AND SHE WOULD KEEP HERSELF ONLY TO HIM UNTIL HE CAME BACK FOR HER.
• 17:42 AND HE WOULD LITERALLY GO AWAY TO HIS FATHER'S HOUSE AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR HER.
• 17:48 AND THEN HE WOULD COME AT NIGHT TO COME AND GATHER HER TO HIMSELF.
• 17:53 NOW WHEN I DO A WEDDING, A MESSIANIC WEDDING,
• 17:56 I WILL OFTEN HAVE THE BRIDEGROOM COME DOWN THE CENTER OF THE ISLE
• 18:00 AND THE BRIDE GO HALF WAY UP THE ISLE TO MEET HIM IN THE AIR.
• 18:04 AND THEN THE TWO OF THEM WILL COME DOWN AND COME UNDER WEDDING CHUPHA TO BE MARRIED.
• 18:10 IN AN ORTHODOX WEDDING THE FRIENDS OF THE BRIDE
• 18:14 WILL WALK HER AROUND THE BRIDEGROOM 7 TIMES;
• 18:17 7 THE NUMBER OF FULFILLMENT, COMPLETION.
• 18:20 THEY WILL WALK HER AROUND THE BRIDEGROOM 7 TIMES AND PRESENT HER TO THE BRIDEGROOM.
• 18:26 AND THAT'S WHO WE ARE.
• 18:28 GOD IS WORKING ON US.
• 18:30 HE'S STITCHING OUR WEDDING GARMENTS.
• 18:32 SO IF YOU'RE FEELING A LITTLE NEEDLE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT NOW AND THEN THAT'S A GOOD THING.
• 18:37 HE'S PREPARING OUR WEDDING GARMENTS
• 18:39 BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO A WEDDING IN THE SKY.
• 18:42 AND WHEN WE SAID "YES",
• 18:44 WHEN WE DRANK THAT CUP WE KEPT OURSELVES ONLY TO HIM UNTIL HE COMES FOR US
• 18:50 BECAUSE HE'S GONE TO PREPARE A PLACE AND HE'S GOING TO COME BACK TO GET HIS BRIDE
• 18:56 AND THAT'S YOU AND THAT'S ME.
• 19:00 AND SO WHEN WE TAKE COMMUNION
• 19:02 IT LOOKS BACK TO THE GIFT OF HIS BROKEN BODY AND HIS BLOOD POURED OUT
• 19:08 AND IT LOOKS FORWARD TO THE WEDDING IN THE SKY AND THE ETERNITY WITH THE BRIDEGROOM.
• 19:14 SO IT'S WAY MORE THAN JUST A RITUAL OR CEREMONY.
• 19:19 IT'S A TIME OF MEETING, A PLACE OF MEETING.
• 19:21 WHAT A BETTER PLACE TO DO IT THAN HERE.
• 19:25 SO I'M GOING TO ASK IF WE COULD SING ANOTHER SONG
• 19:28 AND I'M GOING TO ASK KATHARINE TO SERVE YOU COMMUNION
• 19:31 AND THEN WE'LL PREPARE AND WE'LL TAKE COMMUNION TOGETHER.
• 19:36 (SINGING) ♪O THE BLOOD OF JESUS O THE BLOOD OF JESUS♪
• 19:51 ♪O THE BLOOD OF JESUS IT WASHES WHITE AS SNOW♪
• 20:10 THE BODY AND THE BLOOD
• 20:13 THERE WAS ONLY ONE BODY SINLESS IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
• 20:19 IT WAS THE ONLY BODY THAT COULD BE BROKEN SO THAT WE COULD BE HEALED.
• 20:25 THE ONLY BODY THAT COULD BE BROKEN SO THAT WE COULD COME TOGETHER...
• 20:29 ONLY ONE BODY THAT IS ABLE TO MAKE US WHOLE AGAIN
• 20:35 AND THAT'S THE BODY OF YESHUA.
• 20:38 AND THE PRAYERS THAT WE PRAY GO BACK TO THE TIME OF THE FIRST CENTURY.
• 20:43 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 20:49 "BLESSED ARE YOU LORD GOD KING OF THE UNIVERSE WHO BRINGS FOR BREAD FROM THE EARTH."
• 20:55 GOD WE THANK YOU FOR SENDING YOUR SON YESHUA
• 20:59 WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR BODY BROKEN FOR US.
• 21:02 WE THANK YOU THAT YOU ARE THE BREAD OF HEAVEN THAT CAME,
• 21:05 WENT INTO THE EARTH, CAME UP OUT OF THE EARTH
• 21:08 AND PRESENTED TO THE FATHER AS A RANSOM WORTHY
• 21:13 AND WE THANK YOU FOR THAT SACRIFICE,
• 21:16 IN YESHUA'S NAME. AMEN
• 21:18 LET'S TAKE THAT
• 21:34 THE DNA IN THE BLOOD COMES FROM THE FATHER'S SIDE
• 21:38 SO THE DNA IN THE BLOOD OF YESHUA CAME FROM HEAVEN...
• 21:42 CAME FROM OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.
• 21:45 AND SO THE BLOOD THAT WAS SPILLED WAS HEAVENLY AND THE ONLY BLOOD WORTHY
• 21:52 THE ONLY BLOOD THAT COULD BE FOR REMISSION OF SIN
• 21:56 BECAUSE THE SCRIPTURE TELLS US WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD THERE IS NO REMISSION OF SIN
• 22:01 AND SO GOD TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF TO BE THAT REMISSION FOR US.
• 22:06 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 22:11 "BLESSED ARE YOU LORD GOD, KING OF THE UNIVERSE WHO CREATES THE FRUIT OF THE VINE."
• 22:15 LORD THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD.
• 22:18 WILL WE EVER UNDERSTAND THE PRICE THAT YOU PAID?
• 22:22 WILL WE EVER FULLY KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE FOR YOU AT THE CROSS?
• 22:26 WILL WE EVER FULLY UNDERSTAND THE BLESSING THAT YOU GRANTED TO US
• 22:30 BUT WE JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU...
• 22:33 THANK YOU THAT YOU ARE THE VINE AND WE ARE THE BRANCHES.
• 22:35 THANK YOU THAT BECAUSE OF YOUR BLOOD WE CAN HAVE ETERNAL LIFE WITH YOU.
• 22:40 WE CAN BE CLEANSED OF OUR SIN BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE.
• 22:44 AND WE SAY, TODAH RABAH, THANK YOU JESUS.
• 22:47 THANK YOU YESHUA...HALLELUJAH
• 22:52 (SINGING) ♪BARUCH HABA B'SHEM ADONAI♪
• 22:56 ♪BARUCH HABA B'SHEM ADONAI♪
• 23:06 ♪HALLELUJAH...HALLELUJAH♪
• 23:17 TO BE IN THE AREA WHERE THAT GREATEST SACRIFICE WAS MADE...
• 23:25 WAS PRETTY TREMENDOUS.
• 23:27 IT'S VERY MOVING.
• 23:29 IT'S VERY SPECIAL TO BE HERE.
• 23:31 AND JUST...
• 23:33 IN THE AREA WHERE HE SUFFERED AND DIED AND WAS LAID IN THE TOMB AND THEN RESURRECTED.
• 23:39 IT'S WONDERFUL TO THINK OF THE WOMEN THAT GOT UP WHILE IT WAS YET DARK
• 23:44 TO COME PREPARE HIS BODY FOR BURIAL AND COME AND FIND OUT HE WAS NOT THERE
• 23:49 BUT HE WAS RISEN AND SO IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
• 23:53 WHEN WE WALKED IN, ESPECIALLY TO THE TOMB,
• 23:57 AND JUST LAY HANDS ON THE ROCK AND YOU KNOW...
• 24:00 YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS, WHAT IT STANDS FOR.
• 24:05 IT'S FANTASTIC.
• 24:07 ACTUALLY WHAT I THOUGHT WHEN I WENT IN THE TOMB
• 24:10 WAS THE REVERBERATION OF WHAT JOHN WROTE IN REVELATION ABOUT WHAT JESUS SAID TO HIM,
• 24:17 I AM HE THAT WAS DEAD BUT I'M ALIVE FOREVERMORE
• 24:21 AND JUST BOUNCED OFF THE WALLS IN THERE TO ME LITERALLY.
• 24:26 IT'S AN AMAZING PLACE.
• 24:30 I KNOW YOU CAN SENSE THE PROFOUND IMPACT THAT THIS TOUR HAS HAD ON OUR PILGRIMS
• 24:34 AND I LOVE HEARING THEIR TESTIMONIES.
• 24:36 THEY REALLY WERE MOVED AS I KNOW YOU ARE AS WELL
• 24:38 BECAUSE THE SCRIPTURES OPENING TO US AS WE WALK THE LAND,
• 24:42 AS WE WORSHIP THE LORD AS WE TAKE COMMUNION TOGETHER.
• 24:45 IT'S JUST AN AMAZING TIME TO BE TOGETHER IN THE LAND.
• 24:48 AND WE'RE GRATEFUL THAT WE CAN BRING THIS TO YOU
• 24:50 ESPECIALLY IN THESE DAYS WITH TURMOIL IN THE MIDDLE EAST,
• 24:53 WITH THE DISINFORMATION THAT'S ON THE AIRWAVES
• 24:56 WE ARE SO GLAD THAT WE CAN BRING YOU THE TRUTH OF WHO THE LORD IS,
• 25:00 OF WHO THE JEWS REALLY ARE AND WHAT ISRAEL IS ABOUT.
• 25:04 IT'S OUR BLESSING TO BRING THIS BLESSING TO YOU.
• 25:07 AND THAT GOD IS IN THE PLANNING PHASE OF RESTORING ALL THINGS
• 25:11 NOT JUST FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE BUT FOR THE CHURCH.
• 25:14 AND WE HEAR TESTIMONY AFTER TESTIMONY OF CHURCHES AWAKENING
• 25:18 THAT THEY NEED TO STAND WITH ISRAEL BECAUSE THERE'S A SHARED DESTINY IN BOTH BECOMING ONE
• 25:24 AND STANDING AND TAKING A STAND FOR THE BIBLE.
• 25:28 SO PLEASE, IF IT'S EVER BEEN IN YOUR HEART TO SEND AN OFFERING
• 25:31 OR A GIFT FOR THIS MINISTRY TO CONTINUE
• 25:34 WE WOULD JUST LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR HEART FOR THE LORD,
• 25:39 WE APPRECIATE YOUR GENEROSITY AND WE JUST THANK YOU IN ADVANCE OF ANY GIFT.
