• 00:43 A HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
• 00:45 JEFFREY SEIF HERE WITH MY FRIEND SANDRA LEVITT.
• 00:47 SHALOM, WELCOME TO ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 00:49 AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING US TO PRESENT FOR THE BETTER PART OF 30 YEARS NOW.
• 00:54 AND WHAT DO WE PRESENT?
• 00:57 WE'RE INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT THE BIBLE.
• 00:59 WE'RE INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT THE GOOD NEWS THROUGH THE EYES OF THE JEWS.
• 01:02 WE'RE INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT THE MODERN WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN
• 01:05 AND SEE HOW PROPHECY IS BEING FULFILLED ACCORDING TO THE ANCIENT WORD THAT WE READ.
• 01:11 WE BRING IT TOGETHER; WE TRY TO WITH GOD'S HELP THROUGH THIS TELEVISION PROGRAM.
• 01:16 WE DO IT THROUGH OUR LEVITT LETTER WHICH YOU CAN ACQUIRE.
• 01:19 WE DO IT NOW IN THE INTERNET WORLD THROUGH WWW.LEVITT.COM.
• 01:28 WE WANT TO BE FEISTY, WE WANT TO BE ENGAGING,
• 01:30 WE WANT TO BE PROPHETIC AND WE WANT TO ENGAGE THE PATHETIC.
• 01:34 WE BELIEVE THAT WE LIVE IN A DIFFICULT WORLD
• 01:36 AND WE WANT TO ENGAGE IT BOLDLY WITH THE GOOD NEWS OF THE JEW
• 01:40 WHO CAME INTO THE WORLD SOME 2000 YEARS AGO TO DIE FOR ME AND FOR YOU.
• 01:45 ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
• 01:46 YESHUA HAMASHIACH DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT.
• 01:48 THAT'S RIGHT.
• 01:49 NOW WE WANT TO GET THE STORY OUT.
• 01:51 WE'RE PLEASED THAT YOU GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK,
• 01:53 BUT NOW WE WANT TO PROVE TO YOU THAT WE CAN HEAR.
• 01:56 WE GET EMAILS SENT THROUGH WWW.LEVITT.COM
• 02:01 AND WE GET MAIL THROUGH THE POST OFFICE BOX
• 02:03 AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS RESPOND TO SOME QUESTIONS.
• 02:07 BUT THESE AREN'T JUST QUESTIONS.
• 02:09 PEOPLE ARE ENGAGING US, THEY'RE FEISTY,
• 02:11 WE GIVE IT OUT, WE GET IT BACK
• 02:14 AND WE WANT YOU TO HEAR SOME OF THIS.
• 02:15 SANDRA WHAT DO WE HAVE FIRST.
• 02:16 WELL, THEY'RE INTERESTING LETTERS.
• 02:18 I DO APPRECIATE PEOPLE WRITING IN.
• 02:20 IT KIND OF GIVES US AN IDEA OF WHERE WE'RE GOING,
• 02:21 WHERE WE'VE BEEN, HOW WE'RE DOING.
• 02:23 BUT WE HEAR FROM A GENTLEMEN THAT SAYS,
• 02:30 OUR MAIL FULLY OUTRAGED.
• 02:32 I HAVE NO IDEA.
• 02:33 OH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES.....US.
• 02:51 WELL, IT'S TRUE THAT WE DID PUBLISH IT.
• 02:53 RIGHT, WE DID. WE DID.
• 02:55 BUT WE PUBLISHED IT AND GAVE A RESPONSE TO IT.
• 02:57 RIGHT.
• 02:58 THIS PERSON IS DISCONCERTED
• 02:59 BECAUSE SOME JEWISH PERSON WHO'S NOT A BELIEVER WROTE.
• 03:05 AND THAT'S PROBLEMATIC.
• 03:06 I THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL.
• 03:07 PLEASE, WE WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
• 03:10 WE DON'T WANT TO JUST CHRISTIANEZE TO CHRISTIAN FOLK.
• 03:14 SURE, WE'RE JEWISH;
• 03:15 WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT JESUS.
• 03:17 CALL US UP, WRITE US, YELL AT US, COMPLAIN, INTERACT;
• 03:22 THIS GUY WASN'T A BELIEVER BUT HE WAS AN HONEST NON-BELIEVER.
• 03:27 RIGHT, BUT THEN THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT.
• 03:28 HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HEAR WHEN WE'RE OUT SOMEWHERE,
• 03:30 "WELL, I DON'T BELIEVE JESUS IS THE MESSIAH."
• 03:33 WHAT A GREAT PLACE TO PUT IT IN THE LEVITT LETTER, IN WRITING,
• 03:37 THIS IS WHY WE BELIEVE WHAT WE BELIEVE.
• 03:39 IT WAS A GREAT WITNESS.
• 03:40 I THINK SO.
• 03:41 I DON'T WANT TO INSULATE MYSELF FROM THE REAL WORLD.
• 03:44 AND THERE IS A REAL WORLD OUT THERE.
• 03:45 YES, AND I THINK THAT CHURCH IS TOO MUCH DISCONNECTED FROM IT.
• 03:49 WE WANT TO DO MISSION WORK, WE WANT TO GET INTO THE HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS.
• 03:54 YOU KNOW, I STARTED OFF IN MINISTRY SIGNING UP WITH WHAT WAS THEN
• 03:57 THE AMERICAN BOARD OF MISSIONS TO THE JEWS. RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.
• 03:59 AND I UNDERSTOOD MY TASK TO GO OUT THERE AND PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL.
• 04:03 I COULD KNOCK ON DOORS, ONE DOOR AT A TIME, ONE HOUSE AT A TIME.
• 04:07 THROUGH THIS TELEVISION PROGRAM WE GET INTO MILLIONS OF HOMES
• 04:10 AND WE DO.
• 04:11 AND MILLIONS OF HEADS AND HEARTS.
• 04:13 ON ONE TELEVISION PROGRAM WE CAN GET OUR STORY OUT TO MORE FOLK
• 04:17 THAN IF I SPENT MY LIFETIME KNOCKING ON DOORS AND DID NOTHING BUT.
• 04:21 AND SOMEBODY SAID THAT,
• 04:22 "YOU DON'T TALK LIKE YOU LOVE PEOPLE."
• 04:25 AND I ALWAYS SAY, I LOVE PEOPLE;
• 04:27 I WANT THEM TO GO TO HEAVEN TO BE WITH THEIR SAVIOR.
• 04:30 IF I DIDN'T LOVE THEM, I WOULDN'T TELL THEM THIS.
• 04:32 YES, AND SOMETIMES THE BEST WAY TO BE LOVING IS TO BE DIRECT. THAT'S RIGHT.
• 04:36 BY THE WAY I THINK THERE'S TOO MUCH MUSHY, (SANDRA LAUGHING)
• 04:40 TOO MUCH SYRUPY, GOOFY,
• 04:42 WHAT HAPPENS IN THE PULPIT,
• 04:43 NO BODY WANTS TO OFFEND ANYMORE. RIGHT.
• 04:45 WELL HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO KNOW,
• 04:47 I'M NOT AFRAID TO DO IT BECAUSE
• 04:48 I KNOW MY PRESENCE IS OFFENSIVE,
• 04:50 MY MOTHER, A JEWISH WOMAN WAS OFFENDED THAT I CAME TO FAITH IN JESUS
• 04:54 AND IF I DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT OFFENDING HER,
• 04:56 I CAN PROMISE, I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT OFFENDING THIS PERSON RIGHT HERE OR ANYBODY ELSE.
• 05:01 AND YOU SPOKE THE TRUTH.
• 05:01 THAT WAS THE OTHER THING.
• 05:03 THERE'S WAS NOTHING IN YOUR REPLY TO THIS GUY THAT WASN'T RIGHT.
• 05:06 AND WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT ALSO,
• 05:09 NOT JUST THAT THIS MAN THINKS THIS LETTER WAS TRASH.
• 05:11 YEAH, WELL KEEP ON READING.
• 05:13 I BELIEVE THAT OUR NEWSLETTER THAT WE SEND OUT IS FEISTY
• 05:18 AND WE WANT IT THAT WAY.
• 05:20 I DON'T WANT IT TO BE BLAND AND SYRUPY. GIVE IT A CHANCE.
• 05:22 YOU SAY THE WORD "FEISTY".
• 05:23 I REALLY THINK IT TELLS THE TRUTH.
• 05:25 AND I THINK THAT IF THAT'S FEISTY,
• 05:27 THEN THE TRUTH BE TOLD.
• 05:28 YEAH, WHY WAS JESUS CRUCIFIED?
• 05:30 WAS JESUS CRUCIFIED BECAUSE HE GAVE WONDERFUL 3 POINT SERMONS
• 05:33 WITH A CONCLUSION? (SANDRA LAUGHING) 3 POINT SERMONS
• 05:34 BECAUSE THE ORGAN WAS SINGING AFTERWARDS
• 05:36 AND SOMEONE DIDN'T LIKE THE SONG, "JUST AS I AM"?
• 05:39 NO, JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED BECAUSE PEOPLE DIDN'T LIKE HIM.
• 05:41 WHY DIDN'T THEY LIKE HIM?
• 05:43 BECAUSE JESUS GOT IN PEOPLE'S FACES.
• 05:44 BUT THEY ALSO KNEW WHO HE WAS.
• 05:46 THERE WAS NOT A DOUBT IN THEIR MIND
• 05:48 WHAT HE STOOD FOR AND WHAT HE BELIEVED.
• 05:50 AND HERE'S WHAT GIVES ME COMFORT AGAINST THAT BACKDROP, BY THE WAY.
• 05:53 THAT INASMUCH IS THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT DON'T LIKE WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT,
• 05:56 I'M PLEASED TO REPRESENT... AND WE'LL TOLERATE ALL OF THAT.
• 06:00 I AM SO THANKFUL THAT THERE ARE THOSE THAT DO STAND BEHIND US.
• 06:04 TOUGH SEASON IN THIS MINISTRY WITH OUR FOUNDER, YOUR HUSBAND, ZOLA LEVITT'S PASSING.
• 06:09 FOLK HAVE BEEN GRACIOUS TO MAKE ROOM FOR ME. THEY'VE BEEN GREAT.
• 06:13 BECAUSE IT'S REALLY NOT ABOUT THE PERSONALITY,
• 06:15 IT'S ABOUT THE VISION.
• 06:17 AND PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS IS A FRESH DIRECT STRAIGHT TALKING APPROACH TO DOING RELIGIOUS BROADCASTING
• 06:22 AND WE WANT TO LOOK AT THE GOOD NEWS FROM THE EYES OF JEWS.
• 06:25 WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT A JEWISH SAVIOR;
• 06:27 WEANT TO TELL THE WORLD THE HOPE OF THE WORLD IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
• 06:31 AMEN, I COULD NOT SAY IT ANY BETTER.
• 06:33 ANY OTHER LETTERS?
• 06:34 WELL, WE'LL GET TO IT WHEN WE COME BACK AGAIN IN A MOMENT.
• 06:50 IT HAS BEEN A GOOD SEASON.
• 06:52 PLENTIFUL RAIN AND NOW THE DAYS ARE FILLED WITH THE WARMTH OF THE SUN.
• 06:57 SOON WE WILL SEE A BOUNTIFUL HARVEST.
• 07:01 I AM JOSHUA AND THIS IS MY LAND.
• 07:06 IT IS RICH AND FERTILE, BLESSED BY HASHEM.
• 07:10 MANY YEARS AGO, ABRAHAM JOURNEYED ACROSS THE ROADS THAT ENCOMPASSED THESE VERY FIELDS
• 07:16 AND GOD PROMISED HIM THAT ONE DAY HIS SEED WOULD INHERIT THIS VERY LAND.
• 07:24 COME SEE FOR YOURSELF THIS MIRACLE OF LIFE.
• 07:28 WALK THE LAND OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB.
• 07:32 WITNESS WITH ME THIS MAGNIFICENT LAND OF PROMISE.
• 07:44 FOR YOUR FREE BROCHURE ON OUR NEXT TOUR TO ISRAEL CALL:
• 07:52 ISRAEL, GO TO ISRAEL. GO SEE YOUR HOME.
• 07:55 JEFF AND I WOULD LOVE TO SHOW YOU ISRAEL.
• 07:57 BUT EVEN IF YOU DON'T GO WITH US BE SURE AND TRY TO GO AND SEE YOUR HOME.
• 08:02 YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE THERE FOREVER.
• 08:03 IT'S A NEW HEAVEN, A NEW EARTH AND A NEW JERUSALEM.
• 08:06 I DON'T REALLY HAVE WORDS TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE ISRAEL.
• 08:10 IN FACT, WE PUT IT IN A BROCHURE
• 08:12 SO THAT YOU CAN SEE SORT OF AN ITINERARY OF WHAT WE DO.
• 08:15 IT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT EACH DAY IS,
• 08:17 IT TELLS YOU ABOUT WEATHER,
• 08:19 IT TALKS ABOUT PEOPLE
• 08:21 THAT TALK TO US.
• 08:22 ASK TONY FOR IT.
• 08:23 CALL TEI AT
• 08:26 AND YOU MAY GET A BROCHURE.
• 08:28 IT'S GOOD TO GO JEFF.
• 08:30 AND VISTAS OF INSIGHT AND NEW OPPORTUNITIES
• 08:33 CAN OPEN UP FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT MAKE A TRIP TO THE HOLY LAND.
• 08:38 HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU BEEN THERE?
• 08:40 WELL, IT WILL BE ABOUT 35 TIMES.
• 08:42 AND YOU'VE LED GROUPS ALL THAT TIME HAVEN'T YOU?
• 08:44 YOU DID YOUR HONEYMOON IN THE HOLY LAND DIDN'T YOU?
• 08:46 I DID MY HONEYMOON IN THE HOLY LAND,
• 08:47 ME AND 120 PEOPLE.
• 08:49 YES, SO IT'S LEFT AN INDELIBLE MARK ON YOU HASN'T IT? (SANDRA LAUGHING)
• 08:51 YOU KNOW, AND I SEE PEOPLE EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE OUT IN THE.... WHERE WE'RE SPEAKING
• 08:55 AND THEY'LL COME UP AND THEY SAY, "WE WERE WITH YOU ON YOUR HONEYMOON!"
• 08:58 IT WAS LIKE, "OH MY GOODNESS!" (JEFF LAUGHING) SOUNDS TACKY.
• 09:00 YES, BUT IT WAS FUN, IT WAS.
• 09:01 HEY, LISTEN, WE DO ISRAEL.
• 09:04 WE DO IT FOR JESUS, WE DO IT FOR YOU, WE DO IT FOR THE LOVE OF THE JEW.
• 09:08 HEAR ME ON THIS, IN THE WORLD TODAY THERE IS SO MUCH ABANDONMENT OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 09:14 IT HAPPENS BY SECULAR CULTURES ABANDONING THE JEWS.
• 09:17 RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS, DENOMINATIONS, ABANDON THE JEWS.
• 09:21 WE STICK WITH JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 09:24 WE STICK WITH ISRAEL BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT THE LORD WOULD HAVE US TO DO.
• 09:28 INASMUCH AS WE WANT TO TAKE PEOPLE TO ISRAEL ON THE TOUR,
• 09:32 WE CAN TAKE THEM TO ISRAEL WHEN WE MAKE TELEVISION DON'T WE?
• 09:35 ABSOLUTELY, EVERY PROGRAM THEY SEE
• 09:37 YOU'LL SEE SOME ISRAEL IN THERE.
• 09:39 IF YOU CAN'T GET THERE,
• 09:41 AT LEAST WATCH THE PROGRAM.
• 09:42 RIGHT, IF YOU CAN'T GO TO ISRAEL COME WITH US ON A JOURNEY.
• 09:45 RIGHT! THAT'S RIGHT.
• 09:46 ONCE A WEEK, 30 MINUTES, WE'LL OPEN UP THE HOLY LAND TO YOU.
• 09:50 AND YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE THAT WHEN PEOPLE OPEN UP THE BIBLE, THEY'RE OPENING UP THE HOLY LAND.
• 09:54 WE'RE OPENING UP THE PAGES; WE'RE GOING BACK THOUSANDS OF YEARS TO THE JEWISH HOMELAND.
• 09:59 AMAZING!
• 10:00 IT'S GOD'S WORD. YES
• 10:02 ISRAEL IS GOD'S LAND.
• 10:03 WHY WOULD I NOT WANT TO READ ABOUT IT?
• 10:05 RIGHT, THERE'S SUCH A CONNECTION THERE.
• 10:07 WE WANT TO TAKE YOU TO IT LITERALLY IF WE CAN.
• 10:10 WE WANT TO TAKE IT TO YOU LITERATURE[LY] IF WE CAN, THROUGH THE SCRIPTURE.
• 10:14 WE WANT TO GIVE YOU A VISUAL IMAGE; WE WANT YOU TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 10:20 ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY.
• 10:22 AND LET ME TELL YOU, YOU CAN JOIN THE MINORITY THAT HAVE THAT PERSPECTIVE. (SANDRA LAUGHING)
• 10:26 IF YOU WANT TO SIGN UP TO STAND WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 10:29 YOU'RE SIGNING UP WITH A JADED AND CONDEMNED GROUP,
• 10:32 INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE MARGINALIZED, DISPARAGED;
• 10:35 IF YOU WANT TO LOVE THE JEWISH PEOPLE AS A CHRISTIAN,
• 10:38 THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE MAINLINE CHURCH THAT WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU'RE ON THE WRONG TRAIN.
• 10:41 BUT WHAT DID YESHUA SAY?
• 10:43 "THE WAY IS NARROW, NOT WIDE." RIGHT
• 10:46 AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE,
• 10:48 WE'RE IN THE NARROW WAY, NOT THE WIDE WAY.
• 10:50 WELL, WHO ARE WE?
• 10:51 LET'S GET TO A LETTER HERE.
• 10:53 SOMEONE SAYS,
• 10:58 OKAY, EVERYBODY MAKE MISTAKES AND IT'S ALL GOOD.
• 11:04 THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S GOOD.
• 11:05 SOONER THAN LATER IS GOOD.
• 11:10 OKAY
• 11:19 AAW, ISN'T THAT NICE? AND THIS PERSON GOES ON.
• 11:20 ARE WE A DENOMINATION?
• 11:22 I DON'T THINK SO.
• 11:23 I'M AN ECCENTRIC PROFESSOR IN FRONT OF A TELEVISION CAMERA,
• 11:26 BUT A DENOMINATION? NO.
• 11:27 I THINK WE'RE BELIEVERS.
• 11:28 BELIEVERS
• 11:29 I THINK WE'RE BELIEVERS IN THE BIBLE,
• 11:31 BELIEVERS IN YESHUA.
• 11:31 PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW,
• 11:33 "ARE YOU PEOPLE SOUTHERN BAPTIST, LUTHERANS, METHODIST, PENTECOSTALS?"
• 11:36 RIGHT WHERE ARE YOU?
• 11:37 WE'RE BELIEVERS! RIGHT
• 11:38 WHY CAN'T WE JUST BE BELIEVERS?
• 11:40 WE BELONG TO EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO NAME THE NAME OF THE LORD.
• 11:43 RIGHT, AMEN.
• 11:44 AND WE'RE NOT SUPPORTED BY A DENOMINATION,
• 11:46 IN FACT; YOU KNOW A LOT OF DENOMINATIONS DON'T SUPPORT WHAT WE DO.
• 11:49 RIGHT
• 11:50 THERE'S POSITION PAPERS,
• 11:51 NOW HERE I'LL GET MAIL ON THIS,
• 11:53 THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, RIGHT
• 11:54 THE METHODIST CHURCH,
• 11:55 THE EPISCOPALIAN CHURCH,
• 11:56 AND EVERYBODY LOVES US.
• 11:58 IT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME, SOME OF THESE LIBERAL DENOMINATIONS;
• 12:00 THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ THE BIBLE.
• 12:01 OF COURSE, THEY SUPPORT HOMOSEXUALITY;
• 12:03 THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ A HUMAN BODY,
• 12:05 NEVER MIND A BODY OF LITERATURE. RIGHT
• 12:07 AND THERE'S SUCH A BIZARRE ABANDONMENT,
• 12:09 BUT THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS IN DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS.
• 12:12 RIGHT, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING READY TO SAY.
• 12:13 THERE ARE CATHOLICS THAT LOVE US,
• 12:15 THERE ARE CATHOLICS THAT LOVE THE WORD,
• 12:16 THERE ARE LUTHERANS THAT LOVE ALL THIS,
• 12:18 SO THERE ARE YES,
• 12:20 THERE ARE PEOPLE IN EACH DENOMINATION I DO BELIEVE.
• 12:22 YEAH, WE'RE NOT A DENOMINATION.
• 12:23 WE BELIEVE WE HAVE FRIENDS IN ALL KINDS OF DENOMINATIONS.
• 12:26 AND HERE, WE WANT YOU TO SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL CHURCH.
• 12:30 NOW HEAR ME ON THIS
• 12:31 THAT A MINISTRY LIKE THIS COSTS A LOT OF MONEY TO RUN IT.
• 12:35 BUT WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO LIVE OFF OF YOUR TITHE DOLLARS.
• 12:38 YOU NEED TO PUT THAT IN THE LOCAL CHURCH.
• 12:40 WE DON'T WANT TO COMPETE.
• 12:42 WE'RE WHAT'S CALLED A PARROT CHURCH MINISTRY, WE'RE NOT A DENOMINATION.
• 12:45 WE ARE AN EXTENSION OF CHRISTIAN FAITH FOR THOSE THAT BELIEVE THAT GOD'S PUT A BURDEN ON THEIR HEART TO LOVE THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 12:53 TO LOVE ISRAEL, TO REACH OUT TO BOTH.
• 12:56 AND WE DO THAT IN VARIOUS WAYS AND SO WE'RE PLEASED TO RECEIVE SUPPORT FROM MISSION'S MONEY,
• 13:01 INDIVIDUALS THAT WANT TO GET BEHIND AND HELP US, BUT NOT TITHES.
• 13:05 THAT BELONGS TO YOUR CHURCH AND WITHIN YOUR DENOMINATION IF YOU'RE IN A DENOMINATIONAL CHURCH.
• 13:09 WE DON'T WANT TO COMPETE WITH ANY OF THAT DO WE?
• 13:11 NO, THIS IS AN OUTREACH. WE'RE AN OUTREACH.
• 13:14 PEOPLE NEED TO SUPPORT ISRAEL AND THEY CAN DO THAT BY SUPPORTING US.
• 13:18 REAL SIMPLE.
• 13:21 YES, THIS FELLOW HERE, GOD LOVE HIM, I APPRECIATE HIM.
• 13:23 HE STUMBLED UPON OUR NEWSLETTER THERE IN PRISON AND CAME UPON SOMETHING THAT HE LIKED.
• 13:28 OUR NEWSLETTER IS SUCH, SOME PEOPLE EITHER REALLY LIKE IT, OR THEY REALLY DON'T.
• 13:32 I WAS GETTING READY TO TELL YOU
• 13:33 THERE ARE PRISONS THAT THE LEVITT LETTER HAS BEEN TOSSED OUT OF
• 13:37 BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS TOO CONTROVERSIAL.
• 13:39 THE LEVITT LETTER WAS... BUT YET THEY LET OTHER THINGS COME IN.
• 13:43 THE LORD'S GIVEN ME FAVOR WITH PRISONERS THAT WRITE AND THEY SAY "I LIKE HIM"
• 13:46 AND THAT'S NICE BECAUSE I'M AN OLD COP.
• 13:48 WE'RE NOT GOING THERE. I COULD MAKE A JOKE THERE BUT PROBABLY SHOULDN'T
• 13:50 BUT I REALIZE THAT GOD'S FORGIVEN ME FOR MY SINS
• 13:55 AND I CAN FORGIVE OTHERS. THAT'S REALLY NICE TO KNOW.
• 13:57 I LIKE THIS LETTER AND I LOVE IT WHEN OUR PRISONERS WRITE BY THE WAY, OUR PRISONER FRIENDS.
• 14:01 AND BY THE WAY I'VE BEEN ASKED IF I CAN GO TO A PRISON AND MINISTER.
• 14:04 AND THE ANSWER TO THAT IS, "YES!"
• 14:06 IF YOU WANT TO SET IT UP PARTICULARLY AROUND THE TEXAS AREA WHERE I FAIR FROM RIGHT NOW,
• 14:10 BUT AS I TRAVEL ABOUT....
• 14:12 AND WE DO PUBLIC SPEAKING IN CHURCHES. WE DO PUBLIC SPEAKING, WE DO.
• 14:14 WE GET INVITED TO GO ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, INDIVIDUALLY TO DIFFERENT CHURCHES
• 14:18 AND IF THERE'S A PRISON, LOCAL JAIL, EVEN IN PROXIMITY TO A CHURCH WHERE I AM,
• 14:23 I'M HAPPY TO GO AT NO CHARGE
• 14:25 BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE LORD WANTS US TO REACH OUT TO PEOPLE THAT ARE AT A PLACE IN THEIR LIFE
• 14:30 WHERE THEY WANT TO HEAR WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY. I AGREE, I AGREE.
• 14:32 BUT WE'RE NOT A DENOMINATION. NO, NO!
• 14:34 WE JUST LOVE ALL PEOPLE.
• 14:36 RIGHT
• 14:38 STILL WHEN WE DO BROADCASTING OUR MESSAGE TO THE WORLD IS
• 14:41 "GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE SENT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD."
• 14:44 AND WE COUNT IT A PRIVILEGE TO BE ABLE TO BROADCAST
• 14:47 AND WE KNOW THAT WE SPEAK TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT WE NEVER SEE.
• 14:51 AND WE'RE SUPPORTED BY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WE'LL NEVER KNOW.
• 14:56 WE'RE GONNA GET TO SOME MORE MAIL IN A MOMENT
• 14:58 BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT GET BEHIND US
• 15:01 I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU IN ORDER THAT WE CAN GET IN FRONT OF
• 15:04 MILLIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD NOW, NOT JUST IN AMERICA.
• 15:07 WE'VE BEEN BROADCASTING IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES
• 15:10 FOR THE BETTER PART OF 30 YEARS,
• 15:12 BUT NOW ALL OVER EUROPE AND THE MIDDLE EAST
• 15:14 AND ALL BECAUSE PEOPLE WRITE LETTERS, THEY SHARE, THEY CARE.
• 15:17 AND WE'RE YOUR VOICE.
• 15:19 WE'RE NOT A DENOMINATION
• 15:21 WE'RE AN EXTENSION OF YOUR LOVE FOR THE LORD AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE.

• 16:00 ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES JUST RETURNED FROM EUROPE
• 16:04 WHERE WE SHOT A 6 PART SERIES
• 16:06 THAT WE HAVE ENTITLED "A BAD MOON RISING".
• 16:10 A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT EUROPE IN PART BECAUSE FOR THE LONGEST NOW
• 16:16 IT SEEMS THE CULTURE HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE ABANDONMENT OF JUDEO-CHRISTIAN FAITH AND VIRTUE.
• 16:22 THE NET RESULT IS THAT THE CULTURE HAS SLID INTO SECULARISM PERHAPS AT A POINT OF NO RETURN.
• 16:29 THAT PROBLEM IS COMPOUNDED BY THE FACT
• 16:31 THAT THE CONTINENT NOW HAS ISLAMIC ENCROACHMENT TO DEAL WITH
• 16:37 WHERE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF MILLIONS OF MUSLIMS ARE THERE
• 16:40 AND IT SEEMS THAT CHRISTIAN EUROPE IS GOING TO BE ALTERED FOREVER
• 16:44 OR ONCE CHRISTIAN EUROPE. THAT'S RIGHT.
• 16:46 NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS
• 16:48 BUT ALL TERRORISTS ARE MUSLIMS.
• 16:50 NAME ME A TERRORIST GROUP OR A TERRORIST
• 16:52 AT WAR ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TODAY
• 16:54 THAT DOES NOT HAVE MUSLIMS IN IT.
• 16:56 I DON'T THINK IT HAPPENS.
• 16:58 AND THERE'S A PROBLEM THERE TOO THAT IT'S TRUE THAT THERE ARE MANY WONDERFUL MUSLIM PEOPLE.
• 17:06 WE'RE NOT....I DON'T UNDERSTAND MYSELF...
• 17:07 SOME MIGHT CONSTRUE ME AS BEING ANTI-MUSLIM....I REALLY DON'T.
• 17:12 I THINK THAT THERE ARE WONDERFUL MUSLIM PEOPLE
• 17:14 AND IN AMERICA AND ALL OVER THE WORLD
• 17:17 PEOPLE HAVE THE INALIENABLE RIGHT TO LIFE, LIBERTY, THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
• 17:21 PEOPLE CAN CHOOSE THEIR OWN RELIGION.
• 17:23 BUT THE PROBLEM IS THERE'S A FEISTY STRAIN OF TERRORISM THERE
• 17:28 THAT IT MOVES THE CULTURE IN A PARTICULAR DIRECTION AND THAT'S PROBLEMATIC.
• 17:32 "BAD MOON RISING" IS ABOUT OMINOUS SIGNS THAT ARE RISING.
• 17:36 RIGHT
• 17:37 AND WHILE AT EUROPE I REVISITED DACHAU,
• 17:41 WE LOOKED AT THE STORY OF THE HOLOCAUST IN A BYGONE ERA.
• 17:44 PUT TO ME WHAT'S PROBLEMATIC IS THE FACT THAT IT SEEMS THAT THE ENGINES OF ANTI-SEMITISM ARE RAMPING UP AGAINST US AGAIN.
• 17:52 I WANT YOU TO WATCH THIS SERIES.
• 17:54 I BELIEVE THAT IT'S PROPHETIC AT ONE LEVEL.
• 17:57 FROM IRAN NOW THE SOVEREIGN REPUBLIC COMES A VOICE OF A MAN
• 18:01 WHO UNDERSTANDS HIMSELF TO BE THE JOHN THE BAPTIST OF THE SHIITE ISLAMIC MESSIANIC ERA.
• 18:07 HE BELIEVES HE'S THE HARBINGER
• 18:10 OF THIS NEW MESSIANIC WORLD
• 18:12 RULED BY A MUSLIM AND HE CALLS FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF THE JEWS
• 18:17 AND HE'S NOT FRIENDLY TO WESTERN CIVILIZATION.
• 18:20 THE IMPLICATIONS FOR EUROPE ARE SCARY AS WELL, CORRECT?
• 18:22 WHAT HAPPENS IF EUROPE FALLS?
• 18:24 WHAT HAPPENS IF ISRAEL FALLS?
• 18:26 DO YOU THINK THAT THEY'RE NOT COMING AFTER US?
• 18:28 YES ABSOLUTELY
• 18:30 YES, GO AHEAD AND FOLLOW US IF YOU WILL.

• 23:49 YOU HEAR ME SAY THAT EVERY WEEK AS WE CLOSE OUT
• 23:52 AND THAT'S THE MUSIC THAT IS SO DEAR TO MY HEART JEFF.
• 23:55 YES AND THERE'S NOTHING LIKE MUSIC FROM THE HOLY LAND.
• 23:59 OH NO!
• 24:00 AND MUSIC ABOUT THE HOLY LAND.
• 24:02 THAT IS THE TRUTH.
• 24:03 PAUL WRITES TO THE ROMANS HERE
• 24:05 AND HE SAYS IN CHAPTER 15, VERSE 25,
• 24:18 THIS WAS SOMEONE THAT HAD EXPRESSED INTENTIONALITY.
• 24:22 THIS APOSTLE TO THE GENTILES,
• 24:24 HE WAS MINDED TO SET HIS SIGHTS TOWARD JERUSALEM
• 24:28 BECAUSE HE WANTED TO GO DO SOMETHING THERE.
• 24:31 I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO GO TO JERUSALEM.
• 24:40 THIS TELEVISION PROGRAM BROADCASTS IN ISRAEL.
• 24:46 THIS TELEVISION PROGRAM TEACHES FROM ISRAEL.
• 24:51 THIS TELEVISION PROGRAM TALKS ABOUT ISRAEL.
• 24:55 THIS TELEVISION PROGRAM TALKS ABOUT THE NEWS.
• 24:58 THIS TELEVISION PROGRAM TALKS ABOUT THE JEWS.
• 25:01 AND THIS TELEVISION PROGRAM DOES ALL THAT AND MORE
• 25:05 BECAUSE WHEN INDIVIDUALS SEND THOSE LETTERS IN
• 25:08 THEY PUT CHECKS IN THERE AND THEY SAY,
• 25:10 "WE WANT TO GET BEHIND YOU." THAT'S GOOD NEWS ISN'T IT?
• 25:13 ITS GREAT NEWS. THE OTHER THING IS I REALLY WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR PRAYERS.
• 25:16 IT HAS REALLY HELPED THIS WHOLE YEAR OF US MAKING THE PROGRAMS THAT WE'VE MADE.
• 25:22 THEIR PRAYERS, THEIR LETTERS....
• 25:23 YES, THEIR FINANCIAL SUPPORT IS WONDERFUL
• 25:26 BUT I REALLY APPRECIATE THE PRAYERS TOO.
• 25:28 YES AND PLEASE PRAY ABOUT HELPING US NOW.
• 25:33 WE DON'T MAKE A HABIT OF DOING THIS.
• 25:35 IF YOU'VE WATCHED THIS PROGRAM
• 25:37 YOU KNOW THAT WE DON'T COME WITH OUR HAND OUT
• 25:40 AND WE'RE NOT BLEEDING TO DEATH
• 25:42 BUT THERE'S SO MUCH MORE THAT WE WANT TO DO.
• 25:45 AND AS WE USED TO BE JUST IN AMERICA PROPER
• 25:48 AS WE'VE RAMPED IT UP TO GO INTO EUROPE, IN THE MIDDLE EAST
• 25:53 AND OUR PROGRAMS NOW ARE TRANSLATED INTO ARABIC.
• 25:56 ALL THAT COSTS MONEY
• 25:58 AND WE'RE DIPPING INTO RESERVES UNDER MY WATCH.
• 26:02 HAVING BEEN INVITED TO COME TO THE HELM HERE
• 26:04 AS A TEACHER IN THIS MINISTRY
• 26:06 I WANT TO FLOURISH THE MORE SO AND NOT JUST COAST ALONG.
• 26:10 AND I'D ASK YOU PLEASE
• 26:11 AS YOU HAVE HELPED US IN THE LAST 30 YEARS
• 26:14 COULD YOU MAKE A COMMITMENT TO HELPING US IN THE 30 DAYS?
• 26:18 OUR EXPENSES ARE UP, ARE HEADS ARE UP, ARE FAITH IS UP
• 26:23 BUT PLEASE HELP US ACCOMPLISH
• 26:26 WHAT PAUL WAS LOOKING TO DO HERE.
• 26:28 HE SAID, "I WANT TO GET TO ISRAEL".
• 26:30 I THINK THERE'S BEEN TOO MUCH IN CHRISTIANITY
• 26:32 THAT'S IGNORED THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 26:34 IGNORE IT NO LONGER.
• 26:36 HELP US BRING THE GOOD NEWS BACK TO THE HOLY LAND
• 26:39 AND DO SO WITH THE TANGIBLE SHOW OF SUPPORT
• 26:43 BY WRITING WITH THE PRAYER REQUESTS, WE'LL PRAY,
• 26:46 BY EXPRESSING YOUR INTERESTS AND SHOW YOUR LOVE FOR THE LORD
• 26:49 AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE BY MAKING A HANDSOME DONATION
• 26:51 WOULD YOU PLEASE?
• 26:52 AND THAT'S THE OTHER POINT JEFF.
• 26:54 WE DON'T ASK FOR MONEY EVERY PROGRAM.
• 26:56 SO WHEN WE ASK FOR IT WE REALLY MEAN IT.
• 26:58 PLEASE PRAY ABOUT IT AND AS YOU GO,
• 27:00 "SHA' ALU SHALOM YERUSHALYIM"
• 27:02 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
