- 00:01 In the city of the great king, the modest New Gate opens into
- 00:05 the Christian Quarter.
- 00:07 It's only adornment, a nearby Star of David.

- 01:02 Shalom and welcome to our program. I'm Myles Weiss.
- 01:04 And I'm Katharine Weiss and we want to welcome you
- 01:07 to our program Ancient Gates and Future Glory.
- 01:10 In Jerusalem we're bringing you around the city of our Lord to show you His gates.
- 01:16 There's such a story that is told by the gates.
- 01:18 Each one that we go through tells a different aspect of
- 01:21 the Lord, a different aspect of history, the present conflict
- 01:24 and the future that's coming that is prophetic in nature.
- 01:27 This land speaks, doesn't it?
- 01:29 It really does and that's why we love to bring people there.
- 01:31 I love our new set. We're bringing Jerusalem into your homes.
- 01:33 It's really great for us to be here.
- 01:36 Our guest today, David Parsons.
- 01:38 One of our favorite interviewees.
- 01:39 He's from the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem.
- 01:42 When the embassies of the world determined not to move their embassy's from Tel Aviv to
- 01:48 Jerusalem the Christians of the world said - We will go to Jerusalem because it is the
- 01:53 ancient capital of the Jewish people.
- 01:55 Then we also have Jan Willem van der Hoeven.
- 01:58 He was raised up by Corrie ten Boom and has
- 02:01 the same passion for seeing the Jewish people saved, safe, and
- 02:05 coming to faith.
- 02:06 Yes, and it's beautiful because you see the friendship between
- 02:09 the Jews and the Christians.
- 02:10 The Jewish people have said that the Christians are our only
- 02:13 friends because they're aligning themselves with the book, with
- 02:17 the bible, a lot like Corrie ten Boom's father said
- 02:20 to Corrie. Of course we're going to stand with the Jewish people
- 02:23 in the face of their persecution and in the face of this onslaught from Hitler because
- 02:28 they're the people of the book. They're the people of the bible.
- 02:31 When you stand with them you're standing with God.
- 02:33 Exactly so. As a Jewish person it is so powerful and so comforting for
- 02:40 me to know that there are believers around the world
- 02:43 that are awakening and are beginning to stand with the Jews
- 02:45 It's a miracle.
- 02:47 So we're calling you to be a friend with Israel.
- 02:50 So join us now as we go to the New Gate.
- 03:07 We're at the Old City of Jerusalem standing near
- 03:09 the New Gate. This is the Sha'ar Ha'Chadash and it is
- 03:13 the gate that was the most recently rebuild at the end of the 19th century.
- 03:18 It is our joy to bring you these gates.
- 03:21 This is the Old City behind us.
- 03:23 The Christian Quarter is behind us.
- 03:25 Surrounding the Old City is the modern city of Jerusalem.
- 03:28 When you think about Jerusalem, it is the desire of all nations
- 03:32 scripture says and the only way to understand this city or this nation is to understand it
- 03:37 through scripture. You can't understand it through your mind
- 03:40 or through politics or even what the news is saying, but you have
- 03:43 to rest in and rely on what the Word of God says.
- 03:46 That is exactly the truth.
- 03:47 How can you ever, anyone, any of us understand what's going on in
- 03:51 the world, especially in this part of the world except through
- 03:53 the lens of the bible, the Holy Word of God.
- 03:56 Being near the Christian Quarter is especially significant for us
- 03:59 on this television program because we want to bring a
- 04:03 message to the Christian world about the restoration that God
- 04:07 want to bring to the Christian world right now.
- 04:09 Part of that has to do with our understanding of prophecy, the
- 04:13 end-times and the role of Israel vis-a-vis the church.
- 04:16 God in this time is restoring and He has restored and it is
- 04:20 amazing what He is doing even in the Feast of Tabernacles that is here.
- 04:23 Once a year Christians are coming from all around the world
- 04:26 to say we stand with the scriptures, we stand with God,
- 04:29 and therefore we're standing with the Jewish people to see
- 04:32 them fully restored never again to be plucked up out of this land.
- 04:36 I like to call it the gospel according to Zechariah.
- 04:39 In chapters 12, 13, and 14 Zechariah tells us about the
- 04:43 return of the Lord, the coming of the Messiah and also it says
- 04:46 that there's coming a day when all the nations will come up to
- 04:49 keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
- 04:51 Christians are beginning to do that.
- 04:53 There's going to be such a revolution in the hearts of
- 04:56 Christians around the world, those who are believers that
- 04:59 those that remain, those that are here, those that are part
- 05:02 of the millennial kingdom will come up once a year to celebrate
- 05:05 tabernacles with the Jewish people.
- 05:08 I know you want to be in on that.
- 05:10 Absolutely, so when you're here behind us remember to pray for
- 05:13 all the Christians around the world that they would have God's
- 05:17 eye and not man's eye about Jerusalem.
- 05:20 Amen
- 05:24 We hope you're enjoying our series

- 05:33 gate surrounding the Old City of Jerusalem.

- 06:23 Thank you.
- 06:27 Standing outside the New Gate, Sha'ar Ha'Chadash it's so
- 06:30 significant at this time in the age in which we are living
- 06:33 because the New Gate is the closest to the Christian Qtr.
- 06:37 Think historically about how difficult it's been for
- 06:40 the church to be in unity with the purposes of God and the
- 06:44 purposes of the hour. Right now even if you were to go inside,
- 06:47 come on a trip with us, come as a pilgrim you'll see that where
- 06:51 the Greek Orthodox and the Catholic churches are living
- 06:54 side by side. They're actually fighting over the status quo.
- 06:58 What is called these issues the way they are.
- 07:01 They actually have to leave these boundaries the way they
- 07:04 were in the 19th century. They argue over that.
- 07:07 It's a real picture for us of the desire on the heart of God
- 07:10 to bring unity to the church.
- 07:13 I wonder what is going to bring that unity?
- 07:15 Right now there is a divide over the importance of Israel.
- 07:18 The relative place of Israel vis a vis the church.
- 07:21 I think that it may be THE issue that divides sheep and goats at some point.
- 07:27 It may be THE issue that is the turning point for churches around the world.
- 07:32 I think about the admonishment, the exhortation in Deuteronomy 6
- 07:37 [speaking Hebrew]
- 07:41 That ye shall put this sign upon your house, upon your gates.
- 07:44 We're to live within the gates of the Lord just as with the story of Ruth.
- 07:48 The elders sat in the gates.
- 07:50 The gates symbolize authority and responsibility.
- 07:54 We're to live in such a way that we bring the purposes of God
- 07:57 to the forefront in our sphere of influence.
- 08:00 I want to encourage you as you're hearing this message
- 08:03 to remember 1 Corinthians 1 where Paul exhorted and
- 08:08 admonished regarding divisions.
- 08:10 He said very clearly that we need to be in unity with the
- 08:12 Spirit of the Lord.
- 08:14 Remember Psalm 133 tells us
- 08:16 [speaking Hebrew]
- 08:20 Behold how good and how pleasant it is when the brethren dwells together in unity.
- 08:24 I think a unifying factor is going to be our love for Israel
- 08:28 and the Jewish people and our willingness to provoke them to jealousy.
- 08:33 I know you want to join me in that.
- 08:36 It's like a reflection of what is in John 17 where Yeshua spoke
- 08:39 about unity and He said that we would be known by our love
- 08:43 and the unity that people saw within us for one another.
- 08:47 Think about the scriptures, the prophetic scriptures that call
- 08:50 for the return of the Jewish people.
- 08:52 Ezekiel 36, Jeremiah 31, Amos 9.
- 08:56 Those scriptures are so significant for the Christian
- 08:59 church right now because we need to understand that it's up to us
- 09:02 to stand with the rebuilding and the restoration of Zion because
- 09:07 Yeshua is returning to a Jewish Jerusalem.
- 09:12 He's returning as the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
- 09:14 So I want to encourage you in your sphere of influence, where
- 09:18 you sit in your gates as an authority by God in your place,
- 09:22 in your church, to humbly but accurately encourage those
- 09:26 around you to come to understand the reality of standing with
- 09:31 Israel at this time.
- 09:32 Will you do that with me?
- 09:34 I know you will.

- 10:32 we'd love to give you as a gift to let you know what's happening
- 10:35 in Israel and more of the hot topics that we touch on in the newsletter.
- 10:41 That's really true. This gate, going through
- 10:43 the New Gate really reminds me that this new thing that God is
- 10:48 doing is ancient but new in terms of knitting together the
- 10:52 people of the book as you said and bringing together Jews and
- 10:55 Gentiles together in Messiah.
- 10:57 Jews and Christians - it makes me understand why the scripture
- 11:00 says in Psalm 100...
- 11:02 [speaking Hebrew]
- 11:04 We enter His gates with thanksgiving.
- 11:07 The nations are going to come up to worship the Lord in the end times, in the millennial times.
- 11:13 We're seeing a taste of that now especially through the
- 11:17 International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem.
- 11:20 David Parsons, their media director, has told us and is
- 11:23 about to tell us on the interview the incredible growth
- 11:26 in the nations coming up and joining them to celebrate Sukkot
- 11:30 the Feast of Tabernacles every fall.
- 11:32 It's really a phenomenon.
- 11:34 So let's go to my interview now with David Parsons.
- 11:39 Well the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem was founded
- 11:42 under unusual circumstances that gave birth to our unusually long
- 11:48 name. We were founded in the summer of 1980 when under the
- 11:53 threat of an Arab oil embargo.
- 11:56 The last 13 nations that had their embassies in Jerusalem
- 11:59 were forced out and moved down to Tel Aviv to join the American
- 12:04 the Canadian, the British, and other embassies down in Tel Aviv
- 12:08 And there came a moment where not one nation in the world was
- 12:12 willing to stand with the 3,000 year old Jewish claim and
- 12:16 connection to this city.
- 12:18 About 1,000 Christians from 40 countries were gathering in
- 12:23 Jerusalem right as the last diplomats were leaving in order
- 12:28 to mark the biblical Feast of Tabernacles.
- 12:31 Of Sukkot, which is of the three great pilgrimage feasts the
- 12:34 Jewish people were given under Moses.
- 12:37 This is the one where the Gentiles are also invited to
- 12:40 come up and celebrate.
- 12:42 The Christians gathered here for this celebration.
- 12:46 They got it. They understood that the Jews have had an attachment.
- 12:51 God attached the Jewish people to this city long before the
- 12:54 rise of Christianity or Islam.
- 12:57 They are the true custodians of this city.
- 13:00 It needs to be shared as a House of Prayer for all people.
- 13:03 They are the proper builders of Jerusalem and custodians of it.
- 13:07 We understood this. These Christians wanted to leave
- 13:10 behind a permanent representation in Jerusalem
- 13:14 of a growing Christian world view, biblical world view which
- 13:22 says Israel is still important to God and the restoration of
- 13:26 Israel has great biblical significance.
- 13:29 So the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem was
- 13:31 established in September of 1980 to represent Christians from all
- 13:35 over the world who have a love and concern for Israel and the
- 13:39 Jewish people and particularly want to stand as an act of
- 13:42 solidarity within their claim to Jerusalem.
- 13:45 It's an emotional thing for me listening to you because I wish
- 13:49 my grandmother was alive to see this, to know that the day would come
- 13:53 when Christians would actually stand with the Jews
- 13:56 The prophets longed for these days.
- 13:59 Yes, to look into these things.
- 14:01 So you've seen growth, tremendous growth over this season, yes?
- 14:05 Yes. We started out with 40 countries represented at that first feast.
- 14:11 We've continued sponsoring the Feast of Tabernacles celebration
- 14:15 for Christians each fall.
- 14:17 That quickly grew into Israel's largest tourist event.
- 14:20 We've been getting between 5,000 and 7,000 Christians for 30 some years now.
- 14:26 Year in and year out, even when there's trouble they still come.
- 14:29 They're very committed.
- 14:31 They're not just fair weather friends.
- 14:33 Our crowds now come from up to 100 countries.
- 14:37 We have a reach into about 140 countries around the world.
- 14:41 We have established branches in more than 70 countries.
- 14:45 So, yes, the ministry has grown because the movement has grown.
- 14:49 For about 10 years our biggest groups at the feast have been
- 14:54 coming from Brazil.
- 14:56 One or two years our biggest groups were from Indonesia,
- 14:59 which is also the world's largest Muslim country.
- 15:02 Who would think more Indonesian Christians at our feast than
- 15:05 American Christians. It just shows the growth from China.
- 15:10 Our Chinese delegations are almost doubling every year.
- 15:12 From Africa, if it was easier to get visas there would be
- 15:17 thousands coming from Africa, from Latin America.
- 15:20 This is where the revival is. This is where church growth is.
- 15:25 What's very interesting, a lot of these people, they don't know
- 15:29 Jews. They don't have Jewish friends or neighbors.
- 15:31 They don't know much about the Holocaust.
- 15:34 It's nothing against them, it's just not their history.
- 15:37 Or Christian anti-Semitism or such. They don't have the latest
- 15:40 "Left Behind" novels or whatever.
- 15:43 They just have their bible, the Holy Spirit.
- 15:46 They see it says God's not finished with Israel
- 15:48 He still loves them. They want to come here and
- 15:50 express their love for Israel.
- 15:52 It's really God given.
- 15:54 That's so awesome. It's a sovereign movement.
- 15:58 Amen
- 15:59 I think also you must have seen some changes in the reactions
- 16:02 from the Jewish people here over the decades.
- 16:05 Yes. In the early years of the embassy, 30 some years ago,
- 16:09 some of the founders said it was still difficult to say the name
- 16:14 of Jesus on the streets of Jerusalem or in some public
- 16:17 meeting or in a meeting between Christians and Jews and pray in the Name of Jesus.
- 16:21 It was very still frowned upon.
- 16:24 A huge societal stigma.
- 16:26 Not all of that has gone, but we have seen a lot of changes in
- 16:31 attitude over the past 30 some years where a wider and wider
- 16:37 acceptance of Christian support for Israel and Christian
- 16:42 engagement with the land.
- 16:44 One sign of this for the last 7 or 8 years, we've had an
- 16:47 official partnership with Yad Vashem. This is the state's
- 16:51 official museum and memorial to the 6 million Jews who died in the Holocaust.
- 16:56 It's probably the most revered institution in Israel, the most serious institution.
- 17:01 The board of Yad Vashem, the president of Israel and the
- 17:07 Prime Minister of Israel all approved them entering a
- 17:09 partnership with the Christian Embassy to engage the Christian
- 17:12 world on the universal lessons of the Holocaust and preserving
- 17:15 the memories of these people.
- 17:17 That's a sign there of how far we have come in so many decades.
- 17:27 When you hear David Parsons speak about the connection
- 17:29 that's growing between the state of Israel and the Christians,
- 17:32 you really understand why the Star of David is right there at
- 17:36 the New Gate. God is bringing this awareness that the New Gate
- 17:40 which speaks about this new thing that He's doing in
- 17:43 knitting the Christians into Israel is covered by and
- 17:46 connected to the very symbol of Zionism and of the state of Israel - the Star of David.
- 17:51 At the same time all the good that is going on, anti-Semitism
- 17:56 is on the rise especially in Europe.
- 17:59 We know it's in the Muslim world, but in Europe it has been
- 18:02 growing and growing.
- 18:03 Jan Willem van der Hoeven knows that first hand and speaks to it prophetically.
- 18:08 He speaks to it and addresses it in my interview with him right now.
- 18:14 Jan Willem, it is not as though we are without precedence.
- 18:17 We have Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Oskar Schindler, Corrie ten Boom
- 18:21 whose legacy you a walking in.
- 18:23 Can you tell us what your hope is for the church in the west
- 18:27 regarding Israel at this pivotal time?
- 18:30 Corrie ten Boom we knew very well.
- 18:33 We were at the youth revival.
- 18:35 My father was the private secretary to the Queen of Holland where even some of the
- 18:39 nobility came to the Lord.
- 18:41 She was sometimes one of the speakers.
- 18:44 She lived very close to where my parents lived.
- 18:47 We knew her story. We lived in Harlem before
- 18:52 we went to the area where the Queen lived.
- 18:55 In Harlem, of course, was her watchmaker's shop
- 18:59 where she hid 18-19 Jews from the Nazi persecution.
- 19:06 In the end they were betrayed by a Dutch person.
- 19:13 I think she and some of the others that you mentioned
- 19:19 show something to all of us.
- 19:21 It shows us that it begins with prayer, but it doesn't end with prayer.
- 19:26 Corrie ten Boom's room where the Jews hid
- 19:31 was a room where for 100 years the Corrie ten Boom family even,
- 19:36 her grandfather, prayed for the restoration of the Jewish people
- 19:40 to the land before the state of Israel was born.
- 19:43 So it was soaked with prayer.
- 19:46 As I know that many Christians who I know are now listening to
- 19:51 us have prayed for Israel, but when the crunch came
- 19:56 and the persecution and the Jews being ripped out of their houses
- 20:01 they felt we had to do something more than prayer.
- 20:04 And they opened up their own... risking their own lives.
- 20:08 She was brought to Ravensbruck concentration camp where Betsy, her sister, died.
- 20:12 I saw yesterday still a film about the Holocaust.
- 20:16 You cannot believe what these Jews were suffered, the humiliation.
- 20:23 They called the road to their final execution Hebelstrasse,
- 20:29 the Heavens Way to the concentration gas chambers.
- 20:34 I was saying yesterday when I saw it again, It is so terrible
- 20:39 what happened to these Jewish people.
- 20:42 6 million, 1 1/2 million children
- 20:44 Only a double comfort can put right what happened.
- 20:49 And that's exactly what the bible says.
- 20:52 That God says, Now, even through My lips to everyone that is
- 20:57 listening - comforting, comforting.
- 21:00 Not once comforting my people, two times because God is going
- 21:04 to give them double back what they suffered in humiliation, death and sorrow.
- 21:09 And He's going to do so not just outside the church, but He is
- 21:14 saying you have to comfort them.
- 21:17 Yes, comfort them, says the Lord, and speak tenderly
- 21:22 to the heart of Jerusalem.
- 21:24 We do that with the Jerusalem March and during the feasts.
- 21:27 We say, Shalom, and the Israelis are in tears sometime to see us.
- 21:33 To see us... Where do these Christians come from, because
- 21:36 they are taught in their schools that Christians have been their
- 21:40 enemies, that they have hit them with the crucifix over the head.
- 21:43 And they had "Gott Mit Uns", "God With Us"
- 21:46 on their belt when they shuffled them into the gas chambers.
- 21:49 And here are the Christians.
- 21:51 Ten out of each nation will take hold of a Jew, the sleeve of a
- 21:58 Jew and say, We will go with you.
- 22:01 You are to go to be the ten.
- 22:03 I pray God will touch your heart to be a Ruth.
- 22:08 Ruth is a symbol of the end-time church.
- 22:12 She said when she clang to Naomi, Your God, Israel, is my God.
- 22:18 Your people I accept as my people.
- 22:20 As one woman came to a meeting where I preached.
- 22:24 She had gone already with her bike and she came back.
- 22:27 She came back to me. She said, When I came to listen
- 22:29 I was the mother of two children. God told me to go back
- 22:33 to you and say, After you preached, I accepted Israel as my third child.
- 22:38 Is Israel your eschatology problem or your eschatology
- 22:45 tablet to get high on prophecy?
- 22:48 Or is Israel your people that you will die for?
- 22:54 That you are willing to go the whole way?
- 22:57 Where you go, I will go, she said.
- 22:59 Where you die, I'm willing to die.
- 23:01 And the bible speaks at the end-time it's the same Hebrew word.
- 23:07 When the bible says Ruth clang to Naomi.
- 23:11 It's the same Hebrew word when 10 out of each nation will cling
- 23:17 to the sleeve of a Jew and say not "We will pray for you"
- 23:22 "I will wait for the rapture."
- 23:24 "We will go with you, and we will go the whole way."
- 23:27 May God make you a Ruth unto Israel like Corrie ten Boom today.

- 25:56 Marty Goetz is a wonderful psalmist.
- 25:58 What's impacting my heart most of all is
- 26:01 Jan Willem van der Hoeven's words to us about praying.
- 26:04 And how Corrie ten Boom would pray night and day for the
- 26:08 restoration of Israel.
- 26:10 Now God is calling us as His people to comfort ye, comfort ye
- 26:13 My people in this time.
- 26:16 He's going to comfort them kind of like the same challenge that
- 26:19 went out to Esther. I'm going to save them.
- 26:21 I'm going to rescue them. But would you be part?
- 26:24 I believe that is what God is saying today.
- 26:26 I love that. I think that that's certainly your life message is that you've
- 26:30 come into the kingdom for such a time as this.
- 26:32 We've been brought to the world for this time, for this reason.
- 26:36 So we see in the scope of this program that God is awakening
- 26:41 this love, pushing back against the anti-Semitism, the darkness
- 26:45 in the world, raising up those who will stand for Israel
- 26:48 through prayer and intercession.
- 26:50 I don't think there's a more important message in the world personally.
- 26:53 We've given our lives to this because we believe in it.
- 26:56 We thank you for your gifts of funds.
- 26:58 We could not do this without you.
- 27:00 We're grateful because we believe in this message.
- 27:02 Thank you for standing with us financially.
- 27:04 It means a lot.
- 27:06 Next week we go to one of the most exciting gates, one of the most tumultuous gates.
- 27:11 We'll be visiting the Damascus Gate.
- 27:13 Until that time, remember...
- 27:15 Sha'alu Shalom Yerushalayim
- 27:18 Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem
