• 01:57  YOU'LL HAVE THE WHOLE THING.
• 01:58  AND I'LL TELL   YOU MORE ABOUT THAT LATER.
• 02:00   "BELOVED THIEF" IS REALLY THE CHRISTIAN LOVE STORY.
• 02:04  WE'VE TAUGHT IT IN THE PAST.
• 02:05 PEOPLE LOVE IT   AND WE SIMPLY DRAMATIZED IT
• 02:08  AND SET IT TO MUSIC.
• 02:10 IT'S BEAUTIFUL, ELEGANT, AND SPIRITUAL.
• 02:12    SO SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE    "BELOVED THIEF."
• 02:22  BEHOLD THE BRIDEGROOM COMETH.
• 02:24 GO YE OUT TO MEET HIM.
• 02:26  OF ALL THE WONDERFUL PROMISES IN THE BIBLE,
• 02:29   THAT MAY BE   THE MOST WONDERFUL OF ALL.
• 02:32    I'M GOING TO TELL YOU A BIBLE STORY NOW,
• 02:34   MORE THAN A STORY.
• 02:36    I'M GOING TO TELL   YOU A BIBLE SECRET.
• 02:38 I HAVE THE BIBLE HERE,
• 02:40    THE PART WRITTEN   BEFORE MESSIAH CAME
• 02:41   AND THE PART WRITTEN AFTER.
• 02:43 WHAT WE'VE COME    TO CALL THE OLD TESTAMENT
• 02:45 AND THE NEW TESTAMENT.
• 02:47 OUR SUBJECT IS   LOVE AND MARRIAGE,
• 02:49   HOW TWO PEOPLE BECOME ONE.
• 02:51 AND AFTER THESE  ROMANTIC PROCEEDINGS,
• 02:53  IF YOU CONCLUDE THAT THE TWO BIBLES ARE REALLY ONE,
• 02:56 WELL, OUR TIME WON'T HAVE BEEN WASTED.
• 02:59 AND THE TIME OF OUR LOVE STORY
• 03:01 IS THE LAST TIME THE ISRAELITES
• 03:02  WERE IN THEIR PROMISED LAND,
• 03:04  SOME 1900 YEARS AGO.
• 03:07   A RUSHING, MIGHTY WIND HAS JUST BLOWN THROUGH THEIR LAND.
• 03:10  A PENNILESS PREACHER  FROM A SMALL TOWN OF GALILEE
• 03:12 HAS COME AND GONE VERY RECENTLY.
• 03:15  AND IF YOU WOULD HAVE ACCUSED THAT YOUNG RABBI OF DISRUPTING
• 03:18   SOME LIVES, WELL, HE WOULD HAVE THANKED YOU.
• 03:21   OUR STORY IS ALL ABOUT HIS  REMARKABLE ENTRANCE AND EXIT.
• 03:25  AFTER ALL, OUR BOOK, THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW,
• 03:29    IS ALL ABOUT HIM.
• 03:31   NOW, CONSIDER THESE   FOLKS IN THEIR MARKETPLACE.
• 03:34   MESSIAHS HAVE COME    THROUGH THEIR LAND BEFORE
• 03:36 AND THEY'LL COME AGAIN.
• 03:38   NOT EVERYBODY IS AFFECTED, TRUTH TO TELL.
• 03:40   THESE PEOPLE ARE SKEPTICAL.
• 03:42 THEY'RE SMART.
• 03:43  THEY ARE THE CHOSEN.
• 03:45   THE PEOPLE OF GOD.

• 06:55   I SEE HER, JOSHUA.
• 06:56 WHAT'S HER NAME?
• 06:58    I DON'T KNOW,    BUT SHE COMES
• 07:00    TO THE WELL EVERY DAY ABOUT THIS TIME.
• 07:03 I THINK THAT BOY IS WATCHING YOU.
• 07:05 HE IS?
• 07:06  I'M SURE HE IS.
• 07:09  NO, RACHEL, COME BACK.
• 07:12 MOTHER'S WAITING FOR US.
• 07:18    THE CHOSEN PEOPLE    WERE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
• 07:21 THEY FELL IN LOVE ALL THE TIME.
• 07:23 BUT THEY HAD VERY STRICT RULES.
• 07:25   THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY DATING   OR COURTSHIP AS WE KNOW IT.
• 07:29  A YOUNG MAN AND WOMAN DIDN'T   GO ANYWHERE ALONE TOGETHER.
• 07:32  IF THEY DID, YOU CAN   BELIEVE THEY WERE MARRIED.
• 07:35  IT WASN'T THAT THE ISRAELITES
• 07:36 DIDN'T BELIEVE IN LOVE,
• 07:37 BUT THEY REALLY  TRUSTED LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
• 07:40 THE FIRST DATE,  AS WE WOULD CALL IT,
• 07:43   WAS A PROPOSAL OF MARRIAGE.
• 07:45    IT DIDN'T BOTHER    THEM TO MARRY STRANGERS.
• 07:48   THERE'S A WONDERFUL JEWISH SONG THAT SAYS,
• 07:50  THE FIRST TIME I SAW   YOU WAS ON OUR WEDDING DAY.
• 07:53   THINK ABOUT  THE STORY OF REBECCA.
• 07:55   [ speaking Hebrew ]
• 07:57   REBECCA OUR MOTHER.
• 07:58 WHY, SHE DIDN'T SEE HER BRIDEGROOM BEFORE THE WEDDING.
• 08:00 SHE JUST SAW THE GIFTS    THAT THE SERVANT BROUGHT.
• 08:04  THE BELIEVERS IN THE MESSIAH TODAY ARE IN THE SAME POSITION.
• 08:07 THEY'VE NOT SEEN THE BRIDEGROOM,
• 08:08 BUT THEY SEE THE GIFTS   BROUGHT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
• 08:11   AND THEY'RE WOOED AND WON.
• 08:13  NOW, THERE'S A GREAT  LOVE SONG COMING UP.
• 08:15   BUT FIRST,    I HAVE TO EXPLAIN
• 08:16  WHAT YOUNG DAVID IS THINKING.
• 08:18   Narrator continues: HE SAW A PRETTY    GIRL BY THE WELL.
• 08:21 NOW, HE'LL HAVE   TO GO TO HER HOUSE
• 08:22  WITH A REAL CONTRACT   OF MARRIAGE AND SOME MONEY.
• 08:26 THEY HAD A BRIDE PRICE,   WHICH IS TO SAY IF A FAMILY
• 08:30    RAISED SONS THEY THOUGHT   IT HAD NATURAL ADVANTAGES,
• 08:33  WORKERS ON THE PLACE  AND SO FORTH,
• 08:35 BUT IF A FAMILY   RAISED A DAUGHTER,
• 08:38  WHY, THEY HAD    NOTHING BUT LIABILITIES.
• 08:40 SOME OF YOU MEN    MAY SYMPATHIZE WITH THAT.
• 08:42    BUT WHEN THOSE GIRLS GOT    OLD ENOUGH THAT THE BOYS
• 08:44   CAME AROUND    AND WANTED TO MARRY THEM,
• 08:47 WHY, THEY COULD  CHARGE A PRICE FOR EACH BRIDE
• 08:49 AND THAT WAY THEY COULD    CONSOLIDATE THEIR LOSSES.
• 08:52 BUT FIRST THINGS FIRST.
• 08:54  DAVID HAD TO  ACTUALLY PROPOSE TO THAT GIRL
• 08:57    BEFORE ANYBODY SIGNED ANY   CONTRACTS OR GOT ANY MONEY.
• 09:00    HE HAD TO VISIT HER HOUSE   AND POUR HER A CUP OF WINE.
• 09:04   THAT'S ALL THERE WAS TO IT.
• 09:06   NOBODY SAID ANYTHING LIKE,  "WILL YOU MARRY ME?"
• 09:08   HE WOULD JUST VISIT   WITH HER FAMILY FOR A WHILE
• 09:11    AND PUT THAT CUP    IN FRONT OF HER.
• 09:13 AND SHE COULD DRINK IT    OR NOT DRINK IT.
• 09:16    TAKE ALL THE TIME    YOU NEED, LADIES,
• 09:18   TWO MINUTES, THREE MINUTES.
• 09:21   BUT EITHER PICK UP THAT CUP AND DRINK IT RIGHT THEN
• 09:25  OR SHE COULD LEAVE IT  IF SHE WASN'T READY.
• 09:27 BUT, OF COURSE, SHE HAD TO THINK ABOUT
• 09:29  WHEN THE NEXT  CONTRACT WAS COMING.
• 09:32    BUT NOW BACK TO OUR PLAY.
• 09:34  LOOK AT YOUNG DAVID.
• 09:35   Narrator continues:  HE'S IN LOVE.
• 09:37  NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.
• 09:38  HIS LIFE HAS CHANGED FOREVER   AND ALL BECAUSE HE SAW HER.

• 11:53    DAVID, YOU KNOW THE STORY OF REBECCA,
• 11:56   THE MOTHER OF ALL  THE CHOSEN PEOPLE?
• 11:58    SHE NEVER EVEN  SAW HER BRIDEGROOM  UNTIL THE MARRIAGE.
• 12:02 NO, BUT SHE    SAW THE GIFTS  HE SENT.
• 12:05 NOW, DAVID, FIRST,  YOU MUST GO TO --
• 12:09  TO A -- WHAT IS HER NAME?
• 12:11   HER NAME  IS DVORAH.
• 12:13 DVORAH.
• 12:14 YOU MUST TAKE THE CONTRACT
• 12:15  OF MARRIAGE TO DVORAH'S HOUSE.
• 12:17  AND BE SURE TO TAKE SOME MONEY.
• 12:19   NOW, YOU MUST    PAY A PRICE  FOR YOUR BRIDE.
• 12:20 YES, YES.
• 12:22 HANNAH, HE MUST BE SURE TO BRING A SUITABLE PRICE FOR HER.
• 12:25 NOW, DAVID, YOU KNOW OUR CUSTOM.
• 12:27 AFTER YOU TALK WITH THE FAMILY,
• 12:29 YOU POUR THE WINE FOR HER...
• 12:31 AND WHILE YOU ARE POURING THE WINE,
• 12:34  YOU'RE TELLING HER YOU ARE WILLING TO SACRIFICE
• 12:37  TO HAVE HER AS YOUR BRIDE.
• 12:38    AFTER THE FAMILY DRINKS,
• 12:41    THEN YOU  OFFER DVORAH THE CUP OF WINE.
• 12:44 IF SHE DRINKS IT,   THE ANSWER IS YES.
• 12:48 IF SHE LEAVES IT SITTING THERE, SHE ISN'T READY.
• 12:51    WELL, REMEMBER, SHE CAN TAKE ALL THE TIME SHE WANTS.
• 12:55   TWO, THREE MINUTES MAYBE.
• 12:57   SHE MAY LOOK AT THE CONTRACT.
• 12:59    OR COUNT   THE MONEY.
• 13:00 BEFORE SHE  PICKS UP  THE CUP.
• 13:02 OR SHE MAY NOT PICK UP  THE CUP.
• 13:03 REMEMBER TO   TALK TO HER FATHER
• 13:06   AND TO HER MOTHER.
• 13:08   DAVID, YOU  TELL THEM ALL    ABOUT YOUR FAMILY
• 13:11  AND SHOW THEM  THE CONTRACT
• 13:13   BEFORE YOU POUR THE WINE.
• 13:14 HANNAH, NO ONE CAN BE EXPECTED
• 13:16 TO REMEMBER ALL YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.
• 13:18   DAVID WILL    REMEMBER.

• 16:26  WHEN THE YOUNG MAN  GOT UP COURAGE AND BROUGHT
• 16:28    THE CONTRACT,   THINGS WERE PRETTY TENSE.
• 16:31  WOULD THE FAMILY LIKE HIM?
• 16:34 WOULD THE FAMILY EVEN KNOW HIM?
• 16:36   WOULD THE CHOSEN BRIDE-TO-BE LOVE HIM?
• 16:40   WOULD SHE DRINK HIS CUP?
• 16:42   LET'S LOOK IN ON A REAL MOMENT OF EXCITEMENT.
• 16:46   [ knocking at the door. ]
• 16:52 I'M GLAD YOU    CAME TO SEE US.
• 17:06  I KNOW YOUR FATHER.
• 17:12 ISN'T HE THE  CARPENTER FROM THE VILLAGE?
• 17:18    DON'T YOU HAVE
• 17:19   SEVERAL BROTHERS AND SISTERS?
• 17:21   YES, BUT I'M THE OLDEST.
• 17:25 THE OTHERS AREN'T MARRIED YET.
• 17:28    REALLY?
• 17:30 WHY HAVE YOU COME TO VISIT US?
• 17:34    IS YOUR DAUGHTER HOME?
• 17:45   OH, I SEE.
• 17:50    BUT I HAVE SEVERAL DAUGHTERS.
• 17:52   WAS THERE A PARTICULAR   ONE YOU WANTED TO SEE?
• 17:57  I SAW HER    BY THE WELL.
• 18:00 SHE SMILES    LIKE REBECCA.
• 18:03    LIKE REBECCA?
• 18:06    WELL, MOTHER,  GO AND GET OUR REBECCA.
• 18:09 YOU KNOW, THE DAUGHTER WHO'S  GETTING TO BE SO EXPENSIVE.
• 18:14 WE CALL OUR REBECCA, DVORAH.
• 18:17  YES, I KNOW.
• 18:22    [ music playing softly ]
• 19:38    Narrator: AND SO IT GOES.
• 19:40 BOY MEETS GIRL,    AND BOY PROPOSES TO GIRL,
• 19:42  BUT THEIR FIRST KISS   WILL BE AFTER THE WEDDING.
• 19:45   LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS NOW.
• 19:47   KEEP YOUR EYES ON THAT CUP.
• 19:51     [ music playing softly ]
• 20:11 I GO TO PREPARE    A PLACE FOR YOU.
• 20:15 [ music crescendos ]
• 20:19   OH, MAMMA,    HE SAID,
• 20:21 "I GO TO PREPARE    A PLACE FOR YOU."
• 20:24 YES, DVORAH,   WE HEARD.
• 20:27    AND NOW YOU WILL FOLLOW
• 20:28 SARA, REBECCA, RACHEL,
• 20:32   AND ALL OUR MOTHERS IN OUR CUSTOMS.
• 20:35    YOU MUST WEAR YOUR VEIL WHENEVER YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE
• 20:38  SO THAT EVERYONE  WILL KNOW YOU'VE  BEEN SPOKEN FOR.
• 20:43 AND SINCE YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN DAVID WILL FINISH THE CHAMBER,
• 20:47    YOU MUST WAIT FOR HIM EVERY NIGHT.
• 20:51    AND REMEMBER,    YOU MUST KEEP    YOUR OIL LAMP
• 20:54 TRIMMED BY YOUR BED, FOR A YOUNG BRIDEGROOM
• 20:57   MIGHT SURPRISE  YOU AT MIDNIGHT.
• 21:01    AND REMEMBER,    HE COMES LIKE
• 21:04 A THIEF IN THE NIGHT.
• 21:08 I WILL REMEMBER.
• 21:27    AND WHERE HAS DAVID GONE?
• 21:30   BACK TO HIS FATHER'S HOUSE TO BUILD HER A LITTLE MANSION,
• 21:33    A BRIDAL CHAMBER  FOR THEIR HONEYMOON.
• 21:35   THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL ANALOGY IN THE BIBLE ABOUT THE MESSIAH
• 21:38  AS THE BRIDEGROOM AND   THE BELIEVERS AS HIS BRIDE.
• 21:42 THE LORD DID EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING IN OUR PLAY TONIGHT.
• 21:44    HE CAME FROM HIS  FATHER'S HOUSE TO OUR HOUSE.
• 21:46    HE BROUGHT US A CONTRACT,    THE NEW COVENANT,
• 21:50 [ speaking in Hebrew ]
• 21:52   THE NEW TESTAMENT.
• 21:53  AND HE POURED  THE CUP AT PASSOVER.
• 21:56    HE SAID,  "DRINK YE ALL OF IT,
• 21:57 "FOR THIS IS MY BLOOD SHED FOR THE MANY FOR REMISSION OF SIN."
• 22:01   AND HE PAID  THE PRICE AT CALVARY,
• 22:04 THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE PRICE, THE  VERY LIFE OF AN INNOCENT MAN.
• 22:08   AND BEFORE HE LEFT HE SAID,
• 22:09  "IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE   ARE MANY MANSIONS."
• 22:12   NOW, THE BELIEVERS    ARE IN THE MIDDLE
• 22:14 OF THE BIGGEST COURTSHIP OF ALL TIME.
• 22:16   THEY DRINK THE CUP AND THEY WAIT FOR HIM.
• 22:19   THE CONTRACT SAID THE BRIDE HAD TO BE WAITING EVERY NIGHT.
• 22:22    WHEN SHE WENT OUT IN FRONT OF OTHER MEN,
• 22:24 SHE WOULD WEAR A VEIL,
• 22:26   BUT AT NIGHT, SHE'D BE HOME TRIMMING THAT OIL LAMP
• 22:29   BECAUSE HE MIGHT COME AT MIDNIGHT.
• 22:32  THERE WERE NO    STREET LAMPS, OF COURSE.
• 22:34  AND ISRAEL'S  PRETTY ROUGH TERRAIN.
• 22:36    SO SHE HAD TO HAVE A LAMP  READY TO TRAVEL IN THE DARK.
• 22:39 IT SHOWED THAT SHE WAS REALLY WAITING.
• 22:42    THESE BRIDES WERE    STOLEN OUT OF THEIR BEDS.
• 22:44 INDEED, THE BRIDEGROOM CAME LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT.
• 22:48 FROM THE MOMENT   SHE DRANK THAT CUP,
• 22:50 THE BRIDE WAS FOREVER DIFFERENT.
• 22:52   SHE WAS CALLED CONSECRATED, SET APART, BOUGHT WITH A PRICE,
• 22:56   SHE IS NOT HER OWN.
• 22:58 DURING THE DAY, SHE COULD WORK
• 22:59  ON COMPLETING HER TROUSSEAU,
• 23:01  BUT AT NIGHT,  SHE'D BE HOME WITH THAT LAMP
• 23:03 AND HER SISTERS AND HER  BRIDESMAIDS WAITING WITH HER,
• 23:06   ALL OF THEM    THINKING THE SAME THING,
• 23:09   WHEN WOULD HE COME?
• 23:17   OH, DVORAH, YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL.
• 23:19  AND YOU MUST WEAR IT
• 23:20 EVERY TIME YOU    LEAVE THE HOUSE.
• 23:21 [ laughter ]
• 23:22  COULD THIS BE THE NIGHT HE WILL COME?
• 23:24    MAY I TRY IT ON?
• 23:26 [ laughter ]
• 23:31 SHHH...DID YOU HEAR SOMETHING?
• 23:35   IS THE LAMP READY?
• 23:36    DO YOU THINK YOU   HAVE PLENTY OF OIL?
• 23:38    THAT LAMP MUST BE FILLED
• 23:39 WITH OIL WHEN HE COMES.
