• 00:16 AND EVERY EYE SHALL SEE ME
• 00:19 AND YOU WILL LOOK UPON ME WHOM YOU HAVE PIERCED AND FINALLY SAY,
• 00:23 "Baruch Haba HaShem Adonai"
• 00:28 BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.
• 00:38 DR. JEFFREY SEIF & SANDRA LEVITT
• 00:44 A HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
• 00:46 JEFFREY SEIF WITH MY FRIEND SANDRA LEVITT.
• 00:48 SHALOM
• 00:49 WELCOME BACK TO ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 00:51 AND WE ARE GLAD THAT YOU ARE HERE.
• 00:54 IN FACT YOU'VE BEEN HERE FOR 30 YEARS.
• 00:57 THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
• 00:59 IN A WORLD WHERE TELEVISION PROGRAMS
• 01:01 SOMETIMES DON'T LAST BUT 2 OR 3 SEASONS,
• 01:04 YOU'VE PUT US ON THE MAP FOR 30 YEARS.
• 01:07 THANK YOU! ISN'T THAT INCREDIBLE?
• 01:09 IT'S INCREDIBLE BUT PEOPLE VOTE
• 01:11 IN THE WAY THEY SUPPORT A MINISTRY
• 01:14 AND THEN VOTE WITH THEIR DOLLARS.
• 01:16 AND THEY HAVE SUPPORTED US FOR 30 YEARS.
• 01:18 YES, WE GET THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF LETTERS EVERY MONTH.
• 01:22 WE'RE GOING TO READ SOME OF THEM NOW.
• 01:24 BUT TALK ABOUT READING;
• 01:25 LET'S GET TO GOD'S LOVE LETTER FIRST.
• 01:27 IN THE BOOK OF ACTS. DO YOU HAVE A TEXT THERE FOR US?
• 01:29 CHAPTER 1, VERSE 8, I THINK IS A WONDERFUL WAY TO START.
• 01:32 AND IT SAYS,
• 01:46 THE UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE EARTH
• 01:47 IS WHERE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GO WITH THE WORD.
• 01:48 YES, AND SO MUCH IN CHRISTIAN MINISTRY
• 01:51 IS IN THE UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE EARTH.
• 01:53 TOO LITTLE OF IT IS IN JERUSALEM AND JUDEA.
• 01:56 AND WE'RE GOING BACK TO THE BEGINNING AREN'T WE?
• 01:58 OUR ROOTS, SO TO SPEAK.
• 02:00 YES, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE BIBLE
• 02:01 FROM A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE,
• 02:03 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HELPING JEWISH PEOPLE COMING TO KNOW JESUS,
• 02:05 WE'RE LOOKING AT ISRAEL IN BIBLE PROPHECY.
• 02:08 WE'RE LOOKING AT "SPOTLIGHT" ISRAEL.
• 02:11 IT'S CONTROVERSIAL ISN'T IT?
• 02:13 IT'S ALWAYS BEEN CONTROVERSIAL.
• 02:14 IT'S ALWAYS BEEN WAR BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL, SPIRITUAL WAR.
• 02:19 IT'S ALWAYS THE DEVIL AND SATAN
• 02:21 AND IT'S ALWAYS ISRAEL.
• 02:23 ONCE YOU LOOK ON ISRAEL
• 02:25 YOU PRETTY WELL KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD.
• 02:27 SEEMS THAT YOU GET JEWISH PEOPLE OUT THERE,
• 02:29 YOU GET ISRAEL OUT THERE,
• 02:31 YOU LOOK AT BIBLE PROPHECY
• 02:33 AND IT CREATES WHAT SEEMS TO BE
• 02:35 A COMBUSTIBLE MIXTURE THERE.
• 02:37 THERE IS NO IN-BETWEEN.
• 02:39 YOU EITHER REALLY UNDERSTAND ISRAEL
• 02:41 OR YOU REALLY HATE ISRAEL.
• 02:43 NOBODY'S IN-BETWEEN.
• 02:45 WHEN YOU START TALKING ABOUT PROPHECY AND END TIMES IN ISRAEL,
• 02:48 NOBODY'S IN-BETWEEN.
• 02:50 NO, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT PROPHECY IN THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM.
• 02:55 WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT ISRAEL.
• 02:57 AND WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OUR CUES FROM YOU.
• 02:59 MUCH AS YOU'VE LISTENED TO US FOR THESE YEARS,
• 03:02 WE'RE PICKING UP ON SOME MAIL THAT'S COME IN
• 03:05 AND WE WANT TO FIELD SOME QUESTIONS THAT WE THINK YOU'LL FIND REALLY INTERESTING.
• 03:09 OH, I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO LOVE IT!
• 03:10 I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE FUN.
• 03:11 THEY'RE INTERESTING QUESTIONS.
• 03:12 I CAN TELL WHEN WE'RE OUT SPEAKING,
• 03:15 QUESTIONS THAT PEOPLE HAVE FOR US
• 03:17 ARE GENERALLY THE QUESTIONS THAT COME IN THE MAIL.
• 03:20 PEOPLE ARE REALLY QUESTIONING WHAT'S GOING ON.
• 03:22 SO SOME OF IT'S GOING TO BE FUN,
• 03:24 SOME OF IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE CONTROVERSIAL
• 03:26 BUT IT'LL BE GOOD.
• 03:27 A LITTLE OR A LOT, YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM US,
• 03:29 WE'LL BE HEARING FROM YOU WHEN WE COME BACK IN A MOMENT.
• 03:35 SHALOM FROM JERUSALEM.
• 03:36 ACTUALLY WE'RE IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE.
• 03:39 WE'RE LOOKING AT THE OLIVE TREES JEFF,
• 03:40 OUR PEOPLE ARE BEHIND,
• 03:42 THEY'RE LISTENING TO OUR GUIDE ZVI TALK
• 03:44 AND WE'RE GETTING READY TO GO TO A BIBLE STUDY.
• 03:46 (Jeff speaking) AND THEY ARE HAVING A TRIP OF A LIFETIME.
• 03:48 IF YOU FEEL THE LORD BECKONING YOU
• 03:50 AND MYSTERIOUS IS THE BECKONING
• 03:52 THAT HAVE BEEN DRAWING BELIEVERS TO THIS LAND FOR MILLENNIA.
• 03:55 DO JOIN US PLEASE FOR A TRIP OF A LIFETIME.

• 04:29 IT'S YOUR HOME.
• 04:31 GO TO ISRAEL.
• 04:32 AND SPEAKING OF ISRAEL
• 04:33 I'VE GOT A LETTER HERE I WANT TO READ.
• 04:34 IT SAYS,
• 04:38 (I LOVE WHEN THEY PUT "Y'ALL".)
• 05:01 I WOULD LOVE NOT TO EVER FILM
• 05:02 IN FRONT OF THE DOME OF THE ROCK JEFF.
• 05:05 T IT'S THERE! BUT IT'S THERE!
• 05:07 AND I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE WORLD AS IT IS.
• 05:09 AND SOME DAY IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THERE.
• 05:11 I WAS GOING TO RESPOND SAYING MUCH THE SAME
• 05:13 THAT THERE'S A POINT IN TIME
• 05:16 WHEN THERE'S A RE-CONSTRUCTED TEMPLE THAT EMERGES.
• 05:18 AND IT'S GONE.
• 05:19 HOPEFULLY, IT IS REALLY GONE.
• 05:21 SOMEBODY ALWAYS ASKS ME THAT.
• 05:22 THEY ALWAYS SAY,
• 05:23 "HOW WILL THE DOME OF THE ROCK NOT BE THERE?"
• 05:26 SOME SAY AN EARTHQUAKE.
• 05:28 SOME SAY MAYBE A WAR.
• 05:31 ZOLA USED TO TEACH THAT MAYBE THE DOME OF THE ROCK
• 05:34 AND A SMALL TEMPLE COULD BE SIDE BY SIDE.
• 05:38 AND THAT WAY THEY WOULD BE...
• 05:40 THE JEWS WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO HAVE A TEMPLE.
• 05:42 NOW LET'S SEE,
• 05:43 MUHAMMAD WAS BORN IN 570 A.D. (Sandra laughing)
• 05:47 BY THE ISLAMIC RECKONING.
• 05:49 THAT'S HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF YEARS
• 05:51 AFTER THE NEW TESTAMENT STORY.
• 05:53 IT SEEMS TO ME THAT ISLAM HAS HIGH-JACKED
• 05:57 THE CAPITOL CITY OF ISRAEL AND CLAIMED IT AS IT'S OWN.
• 06:04 AND NOW THERE'S REVISIONIST'S APPROACHES TO HISTORY IN JERUSALEM RIGHT. RIGHT.
• 06:08 THAT SAYS THERE NEVER EVEN WAS A JEWISH PRESENCE ON THAT TEMPLE MOUNT.
• 06:13 BUT THAT'S USUALLY MUSLIM.
• 06:14 THAT'S NOT REALLY A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE
• 06:17 OR EVEN A CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE.
• 06:18 THAT'S A SECULAR NOTION OR REALLY AN ISLAMIC NOTION.
• 06:21 IT'S ISLAMIC PROPAGANDA FRANKLY.
• 06:23 THAT'S WHY I LIKE TO USE THE WORD "REVISIONIST". OH, IT JUST MAKES ME CRAZY.
• 06:26 WE NEED TO GET BACK TO THE BIBLICAL STORY.
• 06:31 AND I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY SOME WOULD BE CHAGRINED
• 06:33 BECAUSE THE DOME OF THE ROCK IS THERE.
• 06:36 BUT YOU KNOW IT IS WHAT IT IS AND THAT'S WHY WE PRAY,
• 06:38 "THY KINGDOM COME AND THY WILL BE DONE".
• 06:41 NOW LISTEN, I HAVE ANOTHER ONE
• 06:42 I WANT TO PITCH TO YOU BECAUSE
• 06:44 I KNOW YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY WHEN YOU HEAR THIS. (Sandra Laughing)
• 06:45 THIS VIEWER SAYS,
• 07:01 SOUND LIKE ZOLA? YEAH, OH YEAH.
• 07:03 THIS VIEWER GOES ON,
• 07:06 (I'm not going to mention it)
• 07:06 (Please don't mention where)
• 07:16 THAT'S UBIQUITOUS.
• 07:17 THAT'S EVERYWHERE IN THEOLOGICAL LITERATURE.
• 07:19 OKAY, I WANT YOU TO SHOW ME
• 07:20 WHERE IT SAYS IN HERE THAT ISRAEL IS CALLED "PALESTINE".
• 07:23 NO WHERE IN THE BIBLE IS ISRAEL CALLED "PALESTINE".
• 07:26 IT'S NOT. WELL BIBLICAL READERS IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS
• 07:29 ARE INFORMED THAT THIS LAND WAS THE LAND OF ISRAEL,
• 07:35 FORMERLY CANAAN,
• 07:36 NAMED AFTER THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB;
• 07:39 THAT IT'S GIVEN TO THEM IN PERPETUITY.
• 07:41 WELL THAT'S THE BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE.
• 07:43 THAT'S RIGHT.
• 07:44 TOO MANY PEOPLE DON'T LOOK AT THE WORLD THROUGH A BIBLICAL LENS.
• 07:46 NO, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO CALL IT "PALESTINE"?
• 07:48 THERE WERE TRANSLATIONS.
• 07:50 AND TO BE FAIR, IN 135 A.D. IT DOES CHANGE.
• 07:53 THE NAME DOES BECOME "PALESTINE" BY THE EMPEROR HADRIAN.
• 07:56 IT IS AN ENEMY OF ISRAEL.
• 07:58 WHY OF COURSE HE WANTS TO NAME IT SOMETHING OTHER THAN ISRAEL.
• 08:00 HE WANTS IT WIPED OFF THE MAP.
• 08:02 RIGHT. I WONDER...GO AHEAD.
• 08:03 SO THEN THE HISTORY BOOKS PICK IT UP.
• 08:07 UNTIL 1948 IT WAS CALLED "PALESTINE".
• 08:09 BUT THEN THE REAL NAME IS ISRAEL
• 08:11 AND JEWS ALWAYS PRAYED TO ISRAEL.
• 08:14 THEY DIDN'T PRAY TO PALESTINE.
• 08:15 THEY PRAYED TO ISRAEL.
• 08:17 NEXT YEAR IN ISRAEL,
• 08:18 NOT NEXT YEAR IN PALESTINE.
• 08:20 SO THE TRANSLATIONS OF SOME OF THE BIBLES WERE WRONG.
• 08:25 THEY WERE WRONG IN THE FACT THAT IT'S ISRAEL.
• 08:27 THEY WERE RIGHT IN THAT IT WAS CALLED "PALESTINE".
• 08:29 BUT IT'S NOT PALESTINE.
• 08:30 I WONDER PERSONALLY, IF IT'S NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR BOOKS THAT
• 08:35 ARE PURPORTEDLY TEACHING THE BIBLE TO USE BIBLICAL LANGUAGE. (Sandra laughing)
• 08:41 I AGREE.
• 08:42 NOW, YOU DON'T NEED TO HAVE A PHD IN BIBLE TO READ THE TEXT;
• 08:45 GOD LED ABRAHAM TO THAT LAND HE COMMENDED TO HIS CHILDREN.
• 08:49 IT'S THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
• 08:50 AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE CONTINUATION
• 08:53 OF EMPLOYING THE TERM "PALESTINE" ....
• 08:55 THAT IS PICKED UP ON BY PROPAGANDIST THAT WANT TO ARGUE,
• 09:00 "THIS IS THE LAND OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE".
• 09:03 LISTEN,
• 09:04 YASSER ARAFAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST PR PEOPLE I THINK IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
• 09:07 THE DEVIL USES WHAT HE CAN.
• 09:09 AND HERE ARAFAT SAYS,
• 09:11 "WE ARE THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE".
• 09:13 THEY WERE NOT. THEY WERE ALL ARABS.
• 09:15 THEY SPOKE ARABIC, THEY WROTE ARABIC,
• 09:17 THEY STILL SPEAK ARABIC AND STILL WRITE ARABIC.
• 09:20 I LOVE IT WHEN THE BIBLE
• 09:22 IS ALSO PUT IN HERE,
• 09:23 "PALESTINE DURING JESUS' TIME".
• 09:25 IT WASN'T EVEN NAMED "PALESTINE"
• 09:27 DURING THE FIRST... JESUS' TIME.
• 09:28 RIGHT, SO IT CAN'T BE PALESTINE.
• 09:30 IT REALLY IS ISRAEL.
• 09:31 WELL, WHAT HAVE WE DONE? (Sandra laughing)
• 09:33 WE'VE PICKED UP ON THE DOME OF THE ROCK,
• 09:35 WE'VE CRITIQUED BIBLICAL THEOLOGIANS FOR USING UNBIBLICAL LANGUAGE.
• 09:40 IT IS AMAZING THAT THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 30 YEARS
• 09:44 BECAUSE WE'RE JUST NOT GIVEN TO KOWTOWING TO POPULAR PROPAGANDA.
• 09:49 IN AS MUCH AS THE BIBLE BEGAN IN JERUSALEM, JUDEA AND EXTENDED TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH;
• 09:55 NOTE THAT'S NOT PALESTINE AND BEYOND.
• 09:59 IN AS MUCH AS THE BIBLE BEGAN IN THE ANCESTRAL JEWISH HOMELAND,
• 10:03 WE WANT TO TAKE THE BIBLE STORY BACK THERE AND WE WANT TO USE THE LANGUAGE OF THE LITERATURE.
• 10:08 IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE TOO MUCH TO ASK.
• 10:10 ALRIGHT, LET'S LOOK AT ANOTHER LETTER.
• 10:12 SAYS, "DR. SEIF AND SANDRA",
• 10:13 "THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT TV PROGRAM"
• 10:15 "AND INFORMATIVE MAGAZINE."
• 10:17 "WE'VE ENJOYED THEM FOR MANY YEARS."
• 10:18 AND I KNOW THESE PEOPLE.
• 10:19 THEY'VE BEEN ON A TOUR WITH US.
• 10:21 AND THEY ARE LOVELY, LOVELY PEOPLE.
• 10:33 I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT AS TOUGH AS ZOLA.
• 10:36 I THINK WE MAY BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN ZOLA.
• 10:38 BUT I THINK WE'RE JUST AS ADAMANT ABOUT OUR ADVERSARIES.
• 10:42 WELL, OUR LEVITT LETTER
• 10:44 IS EXTREMELY FEISTY.
• 10:46 YOU'LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
• 10:47 TO ACQUIRE IT IF YOU'D LIKE TO.
• 10:50 IT'S VERY ENGAGING
• 10:51 AND SOME SAY WE'RE OVER THE TOP
• 10:53 AND ZOLA WOULDN'T BE THAT WAY.
• 10:55 I SAY, "NONSENSE". (Sandra laughing).
• 10:56 THIS MINISTRY WAS BUILT ON STRAIGHT TALK. THAT'S RIGHT.
• 10:59 AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE IN THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.
• 11:02 NO, AND IT CAN'T BECAUSE THE WORD IS SO IMPORTANT.
• 11:06 HOW CAN WE LOVE PEOPLE UNLESS WE TELL THEM THE TRUTH?
• 11:09 AND WE ARE TELLING THE TRUTH.
• 11:11 AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO SO.

• 11:55 PLEASE CONTACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION.
• 12:00 SITTING HERE AT THE HELM OF THE MINISTRY FOR A YEAR
• 12:02 I'VE DEALT WITH A NUMBER OF ISSUES.
• 12:04 TO ME THE THING THAT WAS THE MOST STRIKING
• 12:06 WAS THE CONTROVERSY GENERATED BY DOING A SERIES ON WOMEN.
• 12:11 EVERYTHING FROM "YOU'RE JUST FEMINIST NOW AND YOU'RE JUST GOING SECULAR".
• 12:15 PEOPLE DIDN'T EVEN SEE THE PROGRAM.
• 12:17 BUT THEY'RE GONNA SEE IT AND THEY'RE GONNA LOVE IT.
• 12:19 OUR CRITICS ARE GOING TO BE SILENCED.
• 12:21 IT'S GOING TO BE WONDERFUL.
• 12:22 THE VISION WAS TO KNOW THAT WOMEN HAVE GREAT CHARACTERISTICS;
• 12:26 GOD LOVES US, MEN AND WOMEN.
• 12:28 WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT SOME HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE SERIES
• 12:31 AND IT IS AN ENCOURAGEMENT FOR WOMEN.
• 12:33 NOT TO BE A FEMINIST OR TO KNOCK MEN,
• 12:37 IT IS FOR IF WHATEVER WE DO WE DO FOR THE GLORY OF GOD.
• 12:41 AND THAT'S THE VISION I WANT FOR ALL WOMEN AND MEN.
• 12:45 I THINK IT WILL BE AN INTERESTING SERIES.
• 12:47 WONDERFUL WOMEN WE'VE INTERVIEWED,
• 12:49 WONDERFUL DRAMAS THAT WE'VE SEEN.
• 12:51 I'D LIKE TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THOSE DRAMAS NOW.
• 12:55 "IT IS NOT GOOD FOR MAN TO BE ALONE
• 12:56 AND I WILL MAKE HIM A HELPMATE".
• 12:59 "lezot yikare ishah"
• 13:02 "SHE SHALL BE CALLED WOMAN"
• 13:03 AND I OBSERVE IN THE WORLD TODAY AS WELL THAT
• 13:05 SOME RELIGIOUS TRADITIONS SEEM TO SANCTION A VISION OF A WOMEN AS JUST THE PROPERTY OF A MALE,
• 13:11 A LOVE SLAVE, SOMEONE TO DO HIS MATERIAL BIDDING.
• 13:14 THE HEBREW BIBLE, HOWEVER, CAST A VISION FOR A WOMAN OF WORTH.
• 13:19 THOSE OF US THAT WANT TO WALK IN GOD'S FOOTSTEPS, IF YOU WILL, AND FOLLOW HIS EXAMPLES,
• 13:24 WE TOO ARE TO BE OF SERVICE TO THE WOMAN WHO'S MINDED TO BE OF SERVICE TO US.
• 13:29 INSTEAD, HOWEVER, OF GOING AFTER JUST RAW BEAUTY AND RAW POWER,
• 13:33 THE BIBLE ASKS A QUESTION. AND THAT IS, "HOW DO WE USE OUR INFLUENCE?"
• 13:39 AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE HOW IN A WORLD GONE BAD GOD RISES UP AND CHAMPIONS THE CAUSE OF WOMEN
• 13:47 WHO ARE HARD PRESSED AMIDST THE TURBULENCE OF TRYING TIMES.
• 13:50 DON'T GO AFTER LOOSE LIVING.
• 13:52 FIND A GOOD WOMAN,
• 13:53 FIND A GOOD WIFE
• 13:55 BECAUSE SHE'LL DO YOU GOOD
• 13:56 ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE.
• 13:59 I'M THRILLED THAT OUR PROGRAM
• 14:00 GOES ALL OVER THE WORLD NOW
• 14:02 AND IN FACT IT'S EVEN BEING TRANSLATED
• 14:04 IN ARABIC FOR OUR EUROPEAN AFFILIATES.
• 14:07 AND I'M HOPING THAT OUR MUSLIM FRIENDS
• 14:10 DEVELOP A SENSE OF WHAT WE'RE SAYING
• 14:13 AS WE CAST A BIBLICAL VISION FOR WOMAN KIND.
• 14:17 WE BELIEVE IT'S MARKEDLY DIFFERENT
• 14:19 THAN THAT WHICH APPEARS IN ISLAM. CORRECT?
• 14:21 ABSOLUTELY, GOD LOVES ALL HIS PEOPLE
• 14:24 MEN AND FEMALE.
• 14:26 HE LOVES THEM BOTH.
• 14:27 SO WHY WOULD WE NOT BE ENCOURAGED TO BE THAT WOMAN
• 14:30 OR TO BE THAT MAN?
• 14:31 AND THAT'S THE WHOLE MESSAGE.
• 14:33 WELL, THERE'S ONE WOMAN WHO WRITES HERE.
• 14:36 IT'S GOOD TO HEAR FROM WOMENS VOICES (Sandra laughing)
• 14:38 AS MY WIFE REMINDS ME EVERY NOW AND AGAIN. THAT'S RIGHT.
• 15:02 THIS VIEWER WAS CHAGRINED AS SHE WAS HARKING BACK
• 15:04 TO THE MEMORIAL SERVICE IN THE WAKE OF THAT DEBACLE THERE.
• 15:08 SHE IS DISTURBED THAT AN IMAM WAS INVITED TO GET UP THERE AND SPEAK.
• 15:15 TO ME THIS ISN'T AS DISTURBING FRANKLY.
• 15:18 NOT THAT I ADVOCATE FOR ISLAM BUT A UNIVERSITY...
• 15:22 THE WORD "UNIVERSITY" COMES FROM THE WORD "UNIVERSE"
• 15:24 AND IT IMPLIES THERE'S A WORLD THERE WHERE
• 15:28 A VARIETY OF PERSPECTIVES ARE REPRESENTED.
• 15:30 THE FACT THAT ISLAM SURFACES IN A UNIVERSITY SETTING
• 15:34 DOESN'T TROUBLE ME AS MUCH AS THE FACT
• 15:36 THAT ISLAM SURFACES IN A CHRISTIAN CHURCH SETTING.
• 15:40 AND WE HAVE INDIVIDUALS THAT ABANDON THE WORD OF GOD,
• 15:42 THE TESTIMONY IN THE WORD OF GOD ABOUT THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 15:45 ABOUT ISRAEL, AND SO FORTH TO KOWTOW TO AN ISLAMIC AGENDA.
• 15:49 IN THE CHURCH WE SHOULD STICK WITH THE BIBLE.
• 15:51 I'M GOOD TO BE MORE COSMOPOLITAN IN THE BROADER CULTURE.
• 15:54 WHAT SAY YOU?
• 15:56 WELL, I SAY WHY IS THERE A MUSLIM
• 15:59 SPEAKING AT A CHRISTIAN CHURCH?
• 16:00 I AGREE WITH THAT.
• 16:02 ALLAH IS NOT THE SAME GOD OF THE CHRISTIANS AND THE JEWS.
• 16:05 IT'S NOT THE SAME GOD.
• 16:07 WHY DO WE THINK IT IS?
• 16:08 AND WHY DO WE HAVE TO BE ALL INCLUSIVE OF THE MUSLIMS?
• 16:13 WHY DO THEY HAVE TO SAY A PRAYER AT A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL?
• 16:16 I AGREE WITH THAT. IT DOES DISTURB ME.
• 16:18 VIRGINIA TECH ISN'T PARTICULARLY CHRISTIAN, NO, IT DISTURBS ME.
• 16:21 IT'S NOT LIKE LIBERTY UNIVERSITY DOWN THERE
• 16:23 OR CRISWELL COLLEGE OR WHATEVER.
• 16:25 NO, BUT IF YOU'RE HAVING A CHRISTIAN SERVICE
• 16:28 AND YOU'RE HAVING PREACHERS
• 16:30 AND YOU'RE HAVING OTHER PEOPLE COME IN
• 16:32 THAT ARE DOING JUDEO CHRISTIAN THINGS,
• 16:34 WHY IS ISLAM INCLUSIVE?
• 16:37 WELL, AGAIN, SO YOU AND I WILL HAVE TO
• 16:39 AGREE TO DISAGREE ON THAT ONE.
• 16:41 IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME.
• 16:43 IT BOTHERS ME A LOT.
• 16:44 IT'S A SECULAR ENVIRONMENT,
• 16:45 A UNIVERSITY, VIRGINIA TECH
• 16:47 AND TO HAVE VARIOUS RELIGIOUS VOICES THERE, CAN LIVE WITH THAT.
• 16:50 BUT THE THING THAT I CAN'T LIVE WITH
• 16:52 IS THE WAY THE ISLAMIC AGENDA
• 16:55 HAS WORKED ITS WAY INTO DENOMINATIONS TO THE POINT WHERE
• 16:57 THERE'S A WHOLESALE ABANDONMENT OF THE WORD OF GOD.
• 17:00 THE METHODIST CHURCH KOWTOWS TO ISLAM,
• 17:02 THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH KOWTOWS TO ISLAM. JIMMY CARTER,
• 17:05 LET'S TALK ABOUT JIMMY CARTER. HOLD ON -
• 17:07 WE'LL GET TO PRESIDENTS IN A MOMENT.
• 17:08 THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY RIGHT
• 17:11 WE'RE THE NEW JEWS. RIGHT
• 17:12 PEOPLE COME UP WITH STUFF THAT JUST FLAGRANTLY
• 17:14 FLIES IN THE FACE OF THE LITERALLY READING IN THE BIBLICAL TEXT. I AGREE.
• 17:18 I THINK THE CHURCH SHOULD SPEAK WITH THE BIBLE IN HAND
• 17:20 AND STAND FOR GOD'S LOVE FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE, HIS PLAN FOR ISRAEL.
• 17:24 I JUST DON'T LIKE ANY MESSING WITH THAT.
• 17:26 IF A SECULAR UNIVERSITY WANTS TO ALLOW DIFFERENT VOICES I CAN LIVE WITH IT.
• 17:30 BUT SEE HERE'S THE ISSUE FOR ME.
• 17:32 IT'S NOT THAT IT'S A SECULAR ENVIRONMENT,
• 17:36 IT'S THAT JEWS, WHEN THEY WANT TO SAY SOMETHING,
• 17:38 THEY'RE ALMOST PERSECUTED,
• 17:40 THEY'RE ALMOST RUN OFF CAMPUS. (JEFF LAUGHING)
• 17:42 WELL I CAN AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT.
• 17:44 LET A MUSLIM COME IN AND TALK,
• 17:45 WELL THAT'S OKAY, COME ON IN.
• 17:47 BUT IF HILLEL WANTS TO SPONSOR SOMEBODY...
• 17:48 NETANYAHU WAS ALMOST RUN OUT OF CANADA
• 17:51 JUST FOR WANTING TO SPEAK TO A CAMPUS.
• 17:53 RIGHT, OR GOD FORBID THAT A CHRISTIAN STUDENT ORGANIZATION
• 17:57 WOULD WANT TO PASS OUT A TRACT ON THE CAMPUS. RIGHT. RIGHT.
• 17:59 OH, MY GOD, THEN THERE'S A.. YOU KNOW...
• 18:01 "BUT ALLAH IS A GREAT GOD SO LET'S PASS THAT OUT."
• 18:03 OR WALID SHOEBAT WHO WAS WITH US,
• 18:06 HE WOULD WANT TO GO SPEAK AS A FORMER MUSLIM TERRORIST AND THEN...
• 18:10 "OH YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM ON CAMPUSES".
• 18:12 BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE TOO MANY PROBLEMS.
• 18:14 YEAH THAT'S WHAT HE WAS TOLD.
• 18:16 IN THAT REGARD IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME.
• 18:18 I THINK A UNIVERSITY IS A PLACE FOR SPIRITED DEBATES.
• 18:21 AND BY THE WAY,
• 18:22 I THINK A TELEVISION PROGRAM SHOULD BE SUCH A PLACE AS WELL.
• 18:25 NOT WITH THINGS YOU JUST KOWTOW TO
• 18:27 IN THE SUBSERVIENT, NICE, MUSHY, SYRUPY, LOVEY-DOVEY.
• 18:31 WHY CAN'T PEOPLE TURN ON THE TELEVISION,
• 18:33 WHY WASTE YOUR TIME?
• 18:34 HEAR THE SPIRITED DEBATES, HEAR DIRECT TALK.
• 18:36 THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT AT A UNIVERSITY CAMPUS.
• 18:39 I DON'T LIKE THE WAY THE CHRISTIAN VOICES ARE EXCLUDED, RIGHT
• 18:43 BUT ISLAMIC VOICES ARE EXTOLLED.
• 18:44 MAYBE THAT'S HER POINT PRINCIPALLY.
• 18:46 I THINK FOR ME IT'S MORE OF A LEFT WING BENT
• 18:48 THEN IT IS A RIGHT WING BENT
• 18:49 AND I'M VERY RIGHT WING.
• 18:51 I AM...LISTEN, I AM VERY RIGHT WING.
• 18:53 BUT I THINK WHEN YOU GET TO THE LIBERALISM OF COLLEGES
• 18:57 IS WHERE I GET CONCERNED.
• 18:59 IF YOU'RE GOING THAT WAY THEN THERE HAS TO BE A BALANCE
• 19:02 AND THERE'S JUST NOT IN COLLEGES TODAY. THERE'S JUST NOT.
• 19:04 IT'S MORE LIBERAL THAN ANYTHING.
• 19:06 FAIR ENOUGH, I'LL GO WITH THAT. OKAY, THANK YOU.
• 19:08 LET ME GET ONE MORE IN HERE.
• 19:21 WE WANT TO SMARTEN PEOPLE UP.
• 19:23 WE WANT TO PRESENT BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVES
• 19:26 TO COUNTER-BALANCE THE NONSENSE THAT PREVAILS IN THE CULTURE
• 19:30 AND PREVAILS IN THE MEDIA THAT PRESENTS TO THE CULTURE.
• 19:33 I AGREE.
• 19:34 I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE
• 19:36 COME UP TO ME WHEN I'M OUT AND THEY SAY,
• 19:38 "LOVE THE LEVITT LETTER."
• 19:40 "IT REALLY IS ONE OF THE ONLY THINGS I READ"
• 19:42 "BECAUSE IT REALLY DOES TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON."
• 19:45 YES
• 19:46 IT IS SUCH A COMPLIMENT
• 19:47 NOT JUST FOR US BUT FOR THE WORK
• 19:49 THAT REALLY THAT GOD HAS US DOING.
• 19:52 AND THAT'S THE WHOLE CREDIT.
• 19:53 WE CAN'T SAY EVERYTHING IN A TELEVISION PROGRAM.
• 19:56 NOT THAT WE'RE AFRAID TO DO SO, BUT WE ONLY HAVE SO MUCH TIME.
• 20:00 FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT GET OUR LEVITT LETTER, YOU'LL GET ALL KINDS OF ARTICLES.
• 20:02 NOT JUST WHAT WE'RE SAYING, BUT WE'RE GATHERING WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.
• 20:05 AND THAT WHICH WE CAN'T FIT ON THE LEVITT LETTER
• 20:08 BECAUSE THAT ONLY HAS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PAGE,
• 20:10 WE HAVE A WWW LEVITT. COM
• 20:12 WHERE YOU CAN GET A LOT OF ARTICLES THERE.
• 20:14 HOPE YOU LOVE IT.
• 20:15 HOPE YOU'LL ENJOY IT.
• 20:16 IT WILL BE ENGAGING.
• 20:18 SPEAKING ABOUT ENGAGING, WHEN WE WERE FILMING IN EUROPE RECENTLY,
• 20:21 ARE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER CAME UP TO ME AFTERWARDS AND SAID,
• 20:23 "JEFF, YOU NEED TO GET YOURSELF A KEVLAR VEST!"
• 20:26 THAT IS, THE PROGRAM WAS ENGAGING.
• 20:28 IT'S COMING UP SOON, ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES IN EUROPE,
• 20:31 AND YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT!
• 20:44 "ADOLPH HITLER!"
• 20:45 (Crowd chanting) "ADOLPH HITLER"
• 20:49 MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD IN IRAN IS THREATENING TO DO IN 12 MINUTES
• 20:57 WHAT HITLER COULDN'T DO IN 12 YEARS.
• 21:02 "THEY CAUGHT US IN TOGETHER"
• 21:04 "AND MARCHED US TO THE AMMUNITION FACTORY."
• 21:07 "I'M 11 YEARS OLD, WHAT DO I KNOW ABOUT AMMUNITION?"
• 21:11 "THEY TOLD ME, "UTA, LEARN THE MACHINES OR DIE!"
• 21:16 AND HITLER SAID, "YES, ONE OF THE PLAQUES THAT THE JEWS BROUGHT THE WORLD"
• 21:23 "WAS 'CONSCIENCE'."
• 21:32 SOME 60 YEARS AGO IN THIS SO CALLED CIVILIZED WORLD OF OURS,
• 21:35 ONE OUT OF EVERY THREE JEWS WERE SLAUGHTERED BY PEOPLE WHO WORE CROSSES AROUND THEIR NECKS
• 21:40 AND WENT TO CHURCH ON SUNDAYS.
• 21:43 WHAT BOTHERS ME ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST,
• 21:44 BEYOND THE HOLOCAUST ITSELF,
• 21:54 IS THE EMERGENT NEW HOLOCAUST THAT SEEMS LIKE ITS OMINOUSLY LOOMING JUST OVER THE HORIZON.
• 21:55 THIS TIME ITS MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD, AN IRANIAN,
• 21:57 WHOSE GIVING VOICE TO HIS INTEREST IN ANNIHILATING THE NATION STATE OF ISRAEL.
• 22:03 IT'S A SCARY STORY!
• 22:04 I'M TOLD THAT ANTI-SEMITISM
• 22:06 IS ALIVE AND WELL IN EUROPE TODAY
• 22:09 AND I'VE SEEN IT THERE.
• 22:10 I HAVE SEEN IT TOO JEFF.
• 22:11 IT'S SCARY IN THE FACT
• 22:12 THAT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAKE GOD OUT OF A COUNTRY.
• 22:16 THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS.
• 22:18 THE DEVIL MOVES IN SLOWLY, SLOWLY, SLOWLY, SLOWLY.
• 22:21 WE'RE IN A SPIRITUALLY WAR,
• 22:22 ALWAYS HAVE BEEN,
• 22:23 AND WILL BE UNTIL THE RETURN OF MESSIAH.
• 22:25 YOU KNOW IT SEEMS TO ME
• 22:27 THAT EUROPEANS HAVEN'T JUST ABANDONED JUDEO CHRISTIAN FAITH AND VIRTUE,
• 22:30 THEY'VE ABANDONED COMMON SENSE. RIGHT
• 22:33 JUST GIVING AWAY A CULTURE. RIGHT
• 22:35 DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME.
• 22:37 NO, WHY DO YOU INVITE YOUR ENEMY IN?
• 22:39 I DON'T MIND PEOPLE BEING HERE AND LIVING HERE AND BEING WITH US.
• 22:41 I MIND THAT THEY SAY OPENLY,
• 22:44 "DEATH TO AMERICA!. DEATH TO ISRAEL!"
• 22:47 DEATH TO WHEREVER THEY ARE.
• 22:49 WHATEVER COUNTRY THEY LIVE IN THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE IT OVER.
• 22:52 AND I REALLY DO HAVE OBJECTIONS TO THAT.
• 22:54 IT'S SCARY. LET'S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING NICE. I AM.
• 22:56 YOUR HUSBAND ZOLA WROTE A BEAUTIFUL SONG DIDN'T HE?
• 22:59 AND HERE REALLY IS THE WAY YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THAT.
