Caption transcript for Zola’s Highlights: “Israel My Promised” (1/4)

• 00:09 I WILL BRING YOU OUT OF THE NATIONS WHERE YOU ARE SCATTERED.
• 00:12 BEHOLD I AM COMING WITH THE CLOUDS AND EVERY EYE SHALL SEE ME.
• 00:19 AND YOU WILL LOOK UPON ME WHOM YOU HAVE PIERCED AND FINALLY SAY, BARUCH HABAH B'SHEM ADONAI.
• 00:28 BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.
• 00:38 DR. JEFFREY SEIF AND SANDRA LEVITT.
• 00:44 A HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
• 00:46 JEFFREY SEIF HERE WITH MY ASSOCIATE,
• 00:48 SANDRA LEVITT.
• 00:50 SHALOM AND WELCOME.
• 00:51 MY LATE HUSBAND ZOLA LEVITT
• 00:53 WAS A GREAT TEACHER OF THE BIBLE.
• 00:56 THE BIBLE NEVER CHANGES.
• 00:58 WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE BIBLE TRUTH
• 01:02 AND SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS
• 01:03 FROM ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS ON LOCATION IN ISRAEL.
• 01:07 WONDERFUL HIGHLIGHTS TO SEE.
• 01:09 YES, HIGHLIGHTS AND FRIENDS THE BIBLE NEVER CHANGES.
• 01:14 GOD IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER.
• 01:18 AND WE LIKE TO GO TO THE PLACE, ISRAEL AND LOOK AT THE BIBLE STORY THEREIN FROM JEWISH EYES.
• 01:25 AND WHO DID IT BETTER THAN OUR FOUNDER ZOLA LEVITT.
• 01:29 SO OFF WE GO NOW TO TWO PREVIOUS SERIES;
• 01:32 ONE CALLED"MASHIACH," "MESSIAH" AND ANOTHER, "ISRAEL MY LOVE."
• 01:39 OFF WE GO AND YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT.
• 01:51 ♪MESSIAH, MESSIAH♪
• 01:55 ♪CAN HE BE MESSIAH?♪
• 01:58 THE WHO THE PROPHETS FORETOLD?
• 02:06 ♪THE LOVE THAT HE TEACHES, THE MESSAGE HE PREACHES, IS IT HE IN THE SCRIPTURES OF OLD?♪
• 02:33 AND GOD SAID TO ABRAHAM, "TAKE NOW THY SON, THINE ONLY SON ISAAC WHOM THOU LOVEST
• 02:39 AND GET THEE INTO THE LAND OF MORIAH AND OFFER HIM THERE FOR A BURT OFFERING
• 02:44 UPON ONE OF THE MOUNTAINS WHICH I WILL TELL THEE OF."
• 02:47 AND ABRAHAM ROSE UP EARLY IN THE MORNING AND TOOK ISAAC HIS SON
• 02:51 AND SPLIT THE WOOD FOR THE BURT OFFERING AND LAID IT UPON ISAAC.
• 02:55 AND HE TOOK THE FIRE IN HIS HAND AND A KNIFE AND THEY WENT BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER.
• 03:01 AND THEY CAME TO THE PLACE WHICH GOD HAD TOLD HIM OF AND ABRAHAM BUILT AN ALTAR THERE
• 03:07 AND LAID THE WOOD IN ORDER AND BOUND ISAAC HIS SON AND LAID HIM ON THE ALTAR UPON THE WOOD.
• 03:12 AND ABRAHAM STRETCHED FORTH HIS HAND AND TOOK THE KNIFE TO SLAY HIS SON.
• 03:23 ♪ ♪
• 03:41 RAM SOUND: BAH
• 03:45 ABRAHAM DIDN'T HAVE TO USE THIS KNIFE SOME 4,000 YEARS AGO HERE ON MT. MORIAH.
• 03:50 GOD PROVIDED A SUBSTITUTE, A RAM CAUGHT IN THE THICKET BY IT'S HORN.
• 03:56 HE WAS SACRIFICED INSTEAD OF ISAAC AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE THE HEBREW PEOPLE.
• 04:02 WELL ABRAHAM LIVED AN INTERESTING LIFE
• 04:05 AND PROBABLY THE MOST INTERESTING PART TO US WAS WHEN HE CAME HERE TO MT. MORIAH.
• 04:10 GOD TOLD HIM TO MAKE A JOURNEY TO THE LAND OF MORIAH IN GENESIS CHAPTER 22.
• 04:14 UPON A CERTAIN MOUNTAIN HE SAID I WILL TELL THE OF
• 04:18 AND TRADITION HAS IT THAT THIS IS MT. MORIAH,
• 04:21 THE TEMPLES WERE ALWAYS BUILT HERE IN THE PAST,YOU CAN SEE THE WALL OF THE TEMPLE BEHIND ME.
• 04:27 IT'S BEEN TORN DOWN AND REBUILT AND SO FORTH
• 04:30 BUT IT'S IN THE SAME POSITION AND THAT'S THE WAY IT LOOKED.
• 04:33 HEROD'S TEMPLE WAS SO IMPRESSIVE.
• 04:36 THERE IS A TRADITIONAL JEWISH QUOTATION,
• 04:38 "HE WHO HAS NEVER SEEN HAROD'S TEMPLE
• 04:41 HAS NEVER SEEN A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING IN ALL OF HIS LIFE."
• 04:45 IT WAS A MAGNIFICENT PLACE.
• 04:47 ITS CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT OF ANCIENT DAYS WAS THE SACRIFICE OF MESSIAH ON MT. MORIAH.
• 04:53 IT'S THE SAME MOUNTAIN, THAT IS, THE TEMPLE OF MT. MORIAH LEADS UP TO THE MOUNT OF CALVARY,
• 04:59 THAT IS A HILL TO THE NORTH OF MORIAH ON THE SAME MOUNTAIN.
• 05:03 SO WHERE ISAAC WAS ORIGINALLY OFFERED IN SACRIFICE IN 2,000 B.C,
• 05:08 THEN 2,000 YEARS LATER WHEN MESSIAH CAME, HE TOO WAS SACRIFICED HERE ON MT. MORIAH.
• 05:18 YES I LOVE YOU ISRAEL.
• 05:20 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 05:23 AS HE LOVES YOU FROM ABOVE.

• 05:52 SINGING: ♪WHO COULD KEEP FROM LOVING THEE, YISRAEL, AHAVATI?♪
• 06:00 THE FUNNIEST STORY I REMEMBER WAS ON MY 1ST TRIP AND IT'S IN MY BOOK, "ISRAEL MY LOVE,"
• 06:04 WHEN I DISCOVERED HOW MUCH SECURITY THERE REALLY IS HERE.
• 06:08 NATURALLY THIS IS A SENSITIVE PLACE AND THE PEOPLE ARE NOT ARMED,
• 06:11 THEY COME HERE FOR PRAYER AND AN INCIDENT COULD HAPPEN AND SO IT'S PRETTY WELL STAKED OUT.
• 06:16 THERE ARE SOLDIERS ALL OVER.
• 06:18 SOLDIERS BARING RIFLES AND MACHINE GUNS,
• 06:19 SOLDIERS IN HIGH WINDOWS LOOKING DOWN ON THE WALL, TELESCOPES, AND SO ON.
• 06:25 BUT IN THE CROWD ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE KEEPING AN EYE ON THINGS.
• 06:28 AND WHEN I CAME HERE THE 1ST TIME I WAS WITH A FRIEND OF MINE
• 06:31 AND WE WERE RECORDING SOUNDS FOR A MOVIE WHEN I MADE THE FILM "THE TEMPLE,"
• 06:35 I VISITED THE WALL FOR THE 1ST TIME.
• 06:38 AND I WAS IN FULL DRESS WITH A PRAYER SHAWL AND A YAMAKA ON MY HEAD
• 06:41 AND WALKING ALONG WITH MY FRIEND
• 06:45 AND HE HAD A TAPE RECORDER TO RECORD THE WONDERFUL SOUNDS YOUR ARE HEARING UP CLOSE.
• 06:50 AND HE KINDA HAD IT UNDER A SHAWL SO THAT IT WOULDN'T CAUSE TOO MUCH EXCITEMENT
• 06:57 AND SO PEOPLE WOULDN'T RUN OVER AND TRY TO TALK RIGHT INTO THE MICROPHONE AND SO ON.
• 07:01 WELL A LITTLE OLD MAN, A RABBI WITH THE LONG CURLED SIDEBURNS,
• 07:04 THOSE SIDEBURNS THAT ANSWER TO NUMBER 65, THE NAZARITE VOW,
• 07:09 ABOUT NEVER CUTTING THE CORNERS OF THE HAIR OF THE HEAD.
• 07:11 WELL THERE WAS ONE FOLLOWING ALONG, MAYBE 80 YEARS OLD.
• 07:15 VERY, VERY BENT OVER AND ANCIENT AND HE WAS WALKING WITH US AND HE SAW THE WIRE,
• 07:20 THE CABLE FROM THE TAPE RECORDER.
• 07:22 AND HE WALKED ALONG AND WALKED ALONG PATIENTLY.
• 07:25 AND WE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO HIM AND WE DIDN'T MIND HIM OBSERVING
• 07:28 AND WE KNEW THAT WE COULDN'T SPEAK TO HIM, HE PROBABLY SPOKE HEBREW AND MAYBE JUST YIDDISH,
• 07:34 WE COULDN'T TALK TO HIM AT ALL.
• 07:36 BUT AFTER A WHILE HE APPROACHED US VERY CLOSE AND I FINALLY LOOKED AT HIM
• 07:40 AND HE SAID IN GOOD AMERICAN ENGISH, "WHAT ARE YOU GUYS UP TO?"
• 07:44 (LAUGHING)
• 07:45 AND WE TOLD HIM WE WERE MAKING A TAPE AND HE EXAMINED IT AND PASSED US,
• 07:50 AND THAT'S WHERE WE MET THE REAL SECURITY AT THE WALL.
• 07:53 WELL YOU KNOW WE'RE GONNA LIVE RIGHT HERE IN THE FUTURE.
• 07:56 ALL THE PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE BECAUSE THE TEMPLE'S GONNA BE BACK UP HERE
• 08:01 AND THE KING WILL LIVE IN HIS ROYAL PALACE UP HERE AND THE QUEEN WILL LIVE WITH THE KING.
• 08:06 AND THOSE WHO ARE THE BRIDE NOW WILL BE THE QUEEN IN THE KINGDOM TO COME.
• 08:09 IT'S WONDERFUL TO THINK OF IT THAT THE WALL OF THE POOR WILL BECOME THE WALL OF THE PALACE.
• 08:20 ♪ ♪
• 08:39 ZOLA'S SENSE OF HUMOR WAS ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVED MOST ABOUT HIM.
• 08:44 I REMEMBER BEING ON THE BUS ON THE TOUR IN ISRAEL.
• 08:47 I REMEMBER ANY PLACE WE WENT, HE WOULD TELL JOKES AND THEN START LAUGHING.
• 08:52 AND HE WOULD LAUGH AT HIS OWN JOKES AND HE WOULD LAUGH AND HE WOULD LAUGH
• 08:55 AND THEN EVERYONE AROUND HIM WOULD START LAUGHING.
• 08:58 HE HAD A WONDERFUL SENSE OF HUMOR, BUT HE ALSO HAD A SENSE OF PURPOSE ABOUT ISRAEL,
• 09:04 ABOUT THE BIBLE, AND ABOUT PROPHECY.
• 09:06 IT WAS HIS LOVE.
• 09:08 HE LOVED NOTHING BETTER THEN TO TALK ABOUT PROPHECY AND THE BIBLE.
• 09:13 HE MADE TWO OTHER PROGRAMS CALLED "ARMAGEDDON" AND "SIGNS OF THE END."
• 09:18 BOTH OF THEM ABOUT THE END TIMES AND WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AT THE END FOR US.
• 09:22 AS BELIEVERS WE'RE FINE, BUT AS UNBELIEVERS THEY REALLY NEED TO WATCH
• 09:27 AND SEE WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO THEM.
• 09:29 THESE ARE TWO OF MY FAVORITE PROGRAMS.
• 09:30 JOIN US PLEASE AND WATCH.
• 09:34 ♪ ♪
• 10:16 NEITHER SHALL HE REGARD THE GOD OF HIS FATHERS.
• 10:19 NOW I WANNA TALK ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE IT'S BEEN USED THROUGH THE AGES
• 10:23 TO SAY THE ANTI CHRIST MUST BE A JEW.
• 10:25 IT SAYS HE WON'T REGARD THE GOD, CAPITAL G, OF HIS FATHERS,
• 10:29 BUT IF I TAKE UP THE HEBREW BIBLE AND I LOOK AT THE SAME VERSE IN THE ORIGINAL
• 10:34 I FIND A SUSPICIOUS MISTRANSLATION.
• 10:36 IN THE HEBREW BIBLE I READ, (SPEAKING HEBREW).
• 10:43 HE WILL NOT REGARD THE GODS HIS FATHERS WORSHIPPED.
• 10:47 THAT'S QUITE DIFFERENT.
• 10:48 IT JUST SAID IN THE VERSE BEFORE, HE MAGNIFIES HIMSELF ABOVE THE GOD OF GODS
• 10:52 AND IT'S JUST REMARKING THAT HE SAID,
• 10:54 NOT THE SAME IDOL WORSHIPPER HIS FATHERS WERE AND CERTAINLY HE IS NOT JEWISH,
• 11:00 BECAUSE HE HAS MORE THAN ONE GOD AND DOESN'T EVEN REGARD THOSE VERY WELL.
• 11:05 I'M SAYING THAT IT SHOULD SAY THE GODS OF HIS FATHERS
• 11:09 AND BECAUSE OF THIS EARLY MISTRANSLATION
• 11:12 PEOPLE HAVE SUPPOSED THE ANTI CHRIST WOULD BE JEWISH, THIS IS NOT A GOOD SUPPOSITION AT ALL.
• 11:19 HEAVEN AND EARTH SHALL PASS AWAY, BUT MY WORD SHALL NOT PASS AWAY.

• 11:30 THIS IS LEVI HASSAN, THE DIRECTOR OF THIS INCREDIBLE EXHIBITION.
• 11:33 ONE OF A KIND IN THE WHOLE WORLD,
• 11:35 THE ARTIFACTS TO BE USED IN THE 3RD TEMPLE
• 11:37 AND HE UNDERSTANDS THE STRUCTURE
• 11:40 AND PERTAINS TO EACH ONE,
• 11:41 SO IF YOU WILL I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.
• 11:43 THANK YOU.
• 11:44 WHAT WE DO HERE AT THIS INSTITUTE IS
• 11:45 FOR THE 1ST TIME SINCE THE DESTRUCTION OF THE 2ND TEMPLE
• 11:48 WE ARE ACTUALLY STARTING TO REPRODUCE SOME
• 11:51 OF THE VESSELS AND GARMENTS
• 11:52 WHICH COULD BE USED IN THE 3RD TEMPLE
• 11:54 WHEN IT'S BUILT.
• 11:55 UP TO DATE WE HAVE ABOUT 40 ITEMS
• 11:57 WHICH HAVE BEEN MADE AND THEY'RE ALL MADE OF COURSE
• 11:59 ACCORDING TO JEWISH LAW ALL OUT OF GOLD, SILVER, COPPER,
• 12:02 WHATEVER THE JEWISH LAW REQUIRES.
• 12:04 JUST EXPLAINED TO YOU A FEW OF THE THINGS WHICH WE DO HAVE HERE.
• 12:08 UP ON TOP ARE OUR TRUMPETS.
• 12:10 SPECIAL ABOUT THEM IS THAT THEY WERE MADE OUT OF ONE SOLID PIECE OF SILVER
• 12:16 AND THEY WERE BLOWN DAILY IN THE TEMPLE BY THE PRIEST EVERY SINGLE DAY.
• 12:20 WHAT WE DID IS TO GET THE LENGTH WE BASED IT ON THIS PICTURE OF ARCH OF TITUS,
• 12:24 WHICH IS FOUND IN ROME.
• 12:26 YOU CAN SEE THE JEWS ARE BEING LED OUT TO EXILE
• 12:29 WITH THE TREASURES OF THE TEMPLE OF THE 2ND TEMPLE, RIGHT WHEN IT WAS DESTROYED.
• 12:33 AND WE MADE IT ACCORDINGLY WITH THAT WOODEN BOX,
• 12:36 ALSO TO HOLD THE TRUMPETS IN ORDER TO SHOW OF THAT THE SAME WAY OF
• 12:39 THAT TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE WERE LED OUT TO EXILE 2,000 YEARS AGO,
• 12:42 IS TODAY THE SAME WAY THAT WE ARE RETURNING EVERYTHING TO JERUSALEM,
• 12:45 TO YERUSHALAYIM, TO IT'S PROPER PLACE.
• 12:49 YOU HAVE AN AWFUL LOT OF SILVER AND BRONZE
• 12:51 AND THE METALS OF THE ANCIENT DAYS.
• 12:53 THAT'S TRUE.
• 12:55 FOR INSTANCE WHAT WE HAVE OVER HERE
• 12:56 IS THE CROWN OF THE HIGH PRIEST.
• 12:59 THE HIGH PRIEST WOULD BE WEARING 8 GARMENTS.
• 13:01 THIS IS ONE OF THE 8 GARMENTS WHICH HE WOULD HAVE TO WEAR,
• 13:04 IT'S WORN ON HIS FOREHEAD.
• 13:06 ENGRAVED IN GOLD IS: (SPEAKING HEBREW),
• 13:08 WHICH MEANS HOLY TO THE LORD.
• 13:10 EVERY TIME THAT HE ENTERED INTO THE TEMPLE
• 13:12 TO DO HIS WORK, THE CROWN WOULD HAVE TO BE ON HIS FOREHEAD.
• 13:15 IT'S MADE FROM 100 GRAMS OF PURE GOLD.
• 13:17 WE HAVE THIS SILVER PIECE, WHICH IT'S PURPOSE IS FOR GATHERING THE BLOOD FROM THE SACRIFICE.
• 13:26 IT WOULD GO INSIDE.
• 13:28 IT WOULD BE TAKEN BY THE PRIEST AND SPRINKLED ON THE 4 CORNERS OF THE ALTAR.
• 13:32 IT'S MADE WITH A POINT ON THE BOTTOM, BASELESS
• 13:34 AND THAT'S IN ORDER NOT TO LET THE PRIEST REST ON THE WAY
• 13:38 AND THIS WAY WE INSURE THAT THE BLOOD DOES NOT CLOT.

• 17:49 AND IT'S SIGNIFICANT THAT THE LORD WALKING THROUGH THIS LAND
• 17:53 DID NOT HAVE 32" CENTS IN HIS POCKET TO PAY THE TAX, HE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A HALF SHEKEL,
• 18:00 BUT HE SENT PETER TO GET THE FISH AND IN THERE HE FOUND EXACT CHANGE.
• 18:05 IT'S AN INTERESTING POINT.
• 18:07 HE DIDN'T FIND A DRACHMA, NOR A DENARIUS, NOR A MITE, NOR A FARTHING,
• 18:11 BUT EXACTLY ONE STATER.
• 18:13 A ROMAN COIN EQUALLED A 4 DRACHMAS, WHICH IS EQUAL TO 2 TIMES THE HALF SHEKEL.
• 18:19 IN OTHER WORDS EXACT CHANGE FOR TEMPLE TAX FOR THEM BOTH FOR THEIR REDEMPTION.
• 18:24 IT WAS A VERY JEWISH LESSON FOR A JEWISH AUDIENCE
• 18:28 AND YOU KNOW TO PROVE THIS
• 18:30 I LOOKED IN THE JEWISH WRITINGS WITH THE HELP OF MY ASSISTANT REVEREND JEFF SEIF
• 18:37 AND WE FOUND STORIES OF TREASURES FOUND IN FISH.
• 18:41 THIS WAS A COMMON THEME.
• 18:43 YOU MIGHT SAY LIKE NURSERY RHYMES HAVE PRINCESS AND PRINCES AND CASTLES AS THEMES,
• 18:47 THIS IDEA.
• 18:49 FISH WAS A DELICACY IN ANCIENT ISRAEL OFTEN USED FOR THE SABBATH.
• 18:53 AND THERE'S A STORY FOR INSTANCE IN THE TRACTATE, THE TALMUDIC TRACTATE SHABBAT 119 A,
• 19:01 THE STORY GOES THIS WAY:
• 19:02 "JOSEPH, THE HONORER OF THE SABBATH..." NOT THE BIBLE JOSEPH,
• 19:06 BUT ANOTHER ONE WHO WAS WELL KNOWN FOR HOW WELL HE HONORED THE SABBATH...
• 19:10 HAD A WEALTHY HEATHEN NEIGHBOR.
• 19:12 THE CHALDEANS HAD PROPHESIED THAT ALL THAT NEIGHBORS WEALTH WOULD SOME DAY GO TO JOSEPH.
• 19:17 NOW THEY TRY TO SUBVERT THIS PROPHECY,
• 19:19 THE NEIGHBOR CONVERTED ALL OF HIS PROPERTY AND ALL OF HIS MONEY TO ONE PRECIOUS GEM,
• 19:24 HAD IT SEWN INTO HIS HEADGEAR AND TOOK SHIP--WENT OUT TO SEA-- SO IT COULDN'T BE FOUND,
• 19:30 TO GET AWAY FROM HIS NEIGHBOR.
• 19:32 AND WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE WIND BLEW LIKE IT DOES HERE, IT BLEW THE HEADGEAR INTO THE SEA.
• 19:37 SOMETIME LATER JOSEPH THE HONORER OF THE SABBATH, WENT TO BUY A FISH,
• 19:42 PAID A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY FOR A FINE FISH FOR THE SABBATH,
• 19:45 WHEN HE CUT IT OPEN HE FOUND THE PRECIOUS GEM INSIDE.
• 19:49 THE HEADGEAR HAD LEFT IT IN THE WATER, THE FISH PICKED IT UP,
• 19:52 AND SO JOSEPH ENDED UP WITH ALL THE PROPERTY OF HIS NEIGHBOR.

• 21:52 TOPPED BY MONASTERY ON ITS VERY SUMMIT OF ITS HIGHEST MOUNTAIN

• 22:01 EVIDENTLY TO STOP THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST.
• 22:03 IT DIDN'T WORK OUT THAT WAY.

• 22:30 IN FACT THE ENTIRE BOOK CALLED, "REVELATION."
• 22:34 IF WE LOOK AT THE BEGINNING OF REVELATION THE 1ST VERSE TELLS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS.
• 22:39 THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST WHICH GOD GAVE UNTO HIM TO SHOW UNTO HIS SERVANTS THINGS
• 22:46 WHICH MUST SHORTLY COME TO PASS.
• 22:48 AND HE SENT AND SIGNIFIED IT BY HIS ANGELS UNTO HIS SERVANT JOHN.

• 23:20 WELL THIS IS THE CLOSET THAT HOUSES THE SCROLL OF THE TORAH.
• 23:26 THE 5 BOOKS OF MOSES.
• 23:28 THE 5 BOOKS OF MOSES WRITTEN BY HAND ON VELLUM
• 23:32 AND EVERY JEWISH PLACE OF WORSHIP SHOULD HAVE A TORAH.
• 23:36 SHOULD HAVE A TORAH SCROLL.
• 23:38 AN OLD MAN APPROACHES THE ARK WHERE THE TORAH IS WITH RESPECT,
• 23:43 HE CHANTS A CERTAIN TUNE.
• 23:46 YEAH, HE'S A READER ONE OF THE READERS IN THE CONGREGATION
• 23:51 AND HE CHANTED
• 23:56 THE NORMAL PRAYERS
• 23:58 THAT ARE CHANTED AND PRAYED
• 24:01 WHEN THE CLOSET OF THE TORAH
• 24:03 IS OPENED.

• 24:23 YOU HAVE DETRACTORS.
• 24:25 YES, AFTER 2,000 YEARS OF DIASPORA THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE BEING BROUGHT BACK HOME.
