Caption transcript for “Prophecy Update,” Part 1

• 00:16 BRETHREN MY HEART'S DESIRE AND PRAYER TO GOD FOR ISRAEL IS THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED
• 00:24 FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK
• 00:27 FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM.
• 00:43 A HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU,
• 00:46 JEFFREY SEIF HERE
• 00:48 AND HERE WITH A SPECIAL EDITION
• 00:51 OF ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 00:54 WE BELIEVE THAT WE ARE LIVING IN INTERESTING TIMES TO PUT IT MILDLY.
• 00:59 GOODNESS...WITH AN ECONOMY THAT'S GIVING US GRIEF,
• 01:03 WITH THE WORLD ABLAZE, WITH THE DOGS OF WAR UNLEASHED IN VARIOUS PLACES
• 01:09 AND THEN AMERICA PUTTING IT BACK ON THE LEASH AND BRINGING IT BACK IN VARIOUS PLACES AS WELL,
• 01:15 GOODNESS...IT'S A TIME TO PAUSE AND HAVE A LOOK AT THE WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN.
• 01:21 CERTAINLY YOU CAN GO TO VARIOUS NEWS SOURCES, COMMENTATORS MORE ABLE THAN I
• 01:27 TO GET SOME SENSE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING ON A DAY BY DAY BASIS.
• 01:32 I PERSONALLY CHECK OUT A VARIETY OF NEWSWIRES TO BETTER COME TO TERMS WITH THE WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN AS IT MOVES FAST.
• 01:41 BUT PERSONALLY I PLACE GREAT STOCK IN LOOKING AT THE BIBLICAL WORD TO GET SOME PERSPECTIVE ABOUT THE WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN.
• 01:53 AND THE REASON WHY I DO THAT IS BECAUSE CHALLENGING AS THE TIMES MAY BE
• 02:01 I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE WORLD IS SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL.
• 02:07 AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE, TO USE THE OLD SONG THAT WE TEACH KIDS IN SUNDAY SCHOOL,
• 02:13 I BELIEVE IN A GOD WHO'S" GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS".
• 02:20 THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL SONG; IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WORLD.
• 02:24 WHAT I WANT TO DO IN THIS ADDITION, THIS SPECIAL ADDITION,
• 02:28 IN AS MUCH AS YOU HEAR FROM US TEACHING VARIOUS BIBLICAL MESSAGES,
• 02:33 WHAT I WANT TO DO HERE IS HEAR FROM YOU.
• 02:37 WE GET MAIL, WE GET E-MAIL AS PEOPLE CONTACT US AT WWW.LEVITT.COM
• 02:44 AND THEY ASK QUESTIONS AND QUESTIONS ARE COMING IN.
• 02:48 FOR EXAMPLE, THE ISSUE OF THE GAZA,
• 02:58 IT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
• 03:00 I'LL TELL YOU WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON.
• 03:03 IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME.
• 03:07 AND HERE IT IS IN A NUTSHELL.
• 03:09 ISRAEL PROVIDENTIALLY GUIDED BY GOD'S HAND THAT IS
• 03:15 WAS RE-ESTABLISHED AS A NATION STATE SOME YEARS AGO.
• 03:21 THE BIBLE SAYS IN THE LATER DAYS JEWISH PEOPLE WILL BE BROUGHT BACK FROM EXILE AND RE-SETTLED IN THE LAND.
• 03:30 AND NOT ONLY DOES THE BIBLE SAY THAT,
• 03:33 THE BIBLE SAYS THAT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT
• 03:37 THE NATIONS ROUNDABOUT THAT LAND ARE GOING TO BE HELL BENT ON ISRAEL'S DESTRUCTION.
• 03:45 WE GET THIS IN ZECHARIAH,
• 03:48 WE GET THIS IN ISAIAH,
• 03:50 WE GET THIS IN EZEKIEL,
• 03:52 THIS IS THE PROPHETIC WORD AND JESUS HIMSELF WEIGHING IN ON THE WORLD AT THE RAGGED EDGE OF TIME
• 04:00 SPEAKS OF A WORLD THAT COMES REPLETE WITH WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS.
• 04:07 AS A BIBLE READER MYSELF CHALLENGING THOUGH THE TIMES MAY BE
• 04:11 IT GIVES ME GREAT PAUSE TO GIVE GREAT STOCK TO THE BIBLICAL TESTIMONY.
• 04:17 AND WHY IS THAT?
• 04:19 FRIENDS, BECAUSE WE HAVE A GOD WHO'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS.
• 04:24 THAT GOD SPOKE YEARS AGO ABOUT ISRAEL'S RE-EMERGENCE
• 04:28 AND SIMILARLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT SPOKE ABOUT JUDGMENT BEING VENTED TOWARD THOSE ROUND ABOUT ISRAEL.
• 04:36 AND WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT EVEN PHILISTIA OR WHAT WOULD BE THE MODERN GAZA SEACOAST AREA
• 04:45 IS NOTED EXPLICITLY IN THE BIBLICAL TEXT AS DRAWING GOD'S FIRE IF YOU WILL.
• 04:53 THINGS ARE AMISS THERE.
• 04:54 WE'RE TOLD IN EZEKIEL CHAPTER 25,
• 05:24 WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THE ANCIENT PHILISTINES WERE SEAFARING PEOPLE.
• 05:27 I KNOW THAT WHEN WE HEAR ABOUT THE "ITES"--THE CANAANITES, "THIS-ITE" AND THIS--
• 05:32 AND WE LOVE THEM ALL TOGETHER
• 05:34 BUT TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS DIFFERENT PEOPLE SETTLED AT DIFFERENT PLACES.
• 05:37 AND THE ANCIENT PHILISTINES THEY HUGGED THE MEDITERRANEAN COAST.
• 05:42 AND THE PHILISTINES AS WE KNOW IN BIBLE DAYS
• 05:44 WERE GIVEN TO VARIOUS STRUGGLES AND OPPRESSIONS AND HERE YOU HAVE THE BIBLICAL TESTIMONY.
• 05:51 THE LORD SAYS ENOUGH ALREADY,
• 05:54 THOSE THAT HUG THE COAST, HE SAYS, THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS WILL BE THE OBJECT OF GOD'S DISCONSTERNATION.
• 06:01 WE'RE TOLD IN VERSE 17,
• 06:15 AM I SAYING THAT WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY EXPLICITLY IS WHAT WAS FORETOLD BACK THEN?
• 06:23 WELL WHAT I'M LOOKING TO DO IS NOTE THAT THERE'S NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.
• 06:27 WHILE IT'S TRUE THAT THE PHILISTINES OF A BYGONE ERA
• 06:30 ARE NOT THE SAME AS THE PALESTINIANS TODAY WHO'VE BORROWED THE NAME
• 06:34 BUT THEY'RE NOT THE PEOPLE.
• 06:36 THE PHILISTINES WERE SEAFARING PEOPLE WHO CAME FROM GREEK ISLANDS AND PARTS OF THE GREEK MAINLAND
• 06:41 AND MOVED EASTWARD AND HUGGED THE EASTERN COAST OF THE MEDITERRANEAN.
• 06:46 THE PALESTINIANS SO CALLED TODAY ARE SAND FARING PEOPLE THAT CAME UP FROM ARABIA
• 06:52 AND STEALTHFULLY GOT THE BETTER PART OF THE MIDDLE EAST, NORTHERN AFRICA
• 06:55 AND ON INTO BYZANTINE AND OTHER PLACES AS WELL.
• 06:59 IN ANY CASE WHAT I NOTE IN THE BIBLICAL TEXT IS GOD SAYS THAT THERE IS A DAY
• 07:04 WHEN VENGEANCE WILL BE EXECUTED UPON THOSE THAT ARE GIVEN TO EXECUTING THEIR WRATH UPON THE HEBREW PEOPLE.
• 07:13 AND THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT... IF YOU'LL LOOK WITH ME PLEASE IN EZEKIEL CHAPTER 38,
• 07:19 IN THE WAKE OF DESCRIBING ISRAEL'S RE-EMERGENCE
• 07:24 AND WHILE GIVING VOICE TO THE WAY THE NATIONS WILL RAGE ROUND ABOUT
• 07:30 FINALLY IT COMES TO AN END IN WAYS THAT ARE STRIKING.
• 07:34 I'VE REFERENCED THIS VERSE BEFORE IN OTHER PROGRAMS.
• 07:37 IF YOU'LL LOOK IN CHAPTER 38, VERSE 22 HE SAYS,
• 07:52 THERE IS SOME SENSE OF WHICH THERE'S BOMBS BURSTING IN AIR
• 07:56 AND THIS GIVES EXPRESSION TO THE FACT THAT IT'S A GOD AWFUL SIGHT TO TELL YOU THE GOD'S HONEST TRUTH.
• 08:04 I DON'T WISH ANY HARM UPON ANY PEOPLE AND ARAB MOTHERS, MUSLIM MOTHERS CRY FOR THEIR CHILDREN
• 08:11 JUST AS ISRAELI MOTHERS CRY FOR THEIRS, JUST AS AMERICAN MOTHERS CRY AND PRAY FOR HER CHILDREN IN HARMS WAY.
• 08:21 AT THE END OF THE DAY WE LIVE IN A WORLD THAT IS RACKED BY SOCIAL UNREST, POLITICAL INTRIGUE,
• 08:28 BUT IN THE WAKE OF ALL OF THIS WE'RE TOLD IN THE LITERATURE
• 08:32 THAT GOD IS GOING TO SHOW HIMSELF STRONG AND SO STRANGE AS IT MIGHT SOUND
• 08:37 WHEN I LOOK AT THE WORLD TODAY AND WHEN I LOOK AT THE BIBLE TODAY, THE WORD TODAY,
• 08:42 AND PUT THEM TOGETHER IT DOESN'T WEAKEN MY FAITH, IT DOESN'T WEAKEN MY RESOLUTION
• 08:48 BECAUSE IT TELLS ME "LOOK UP OUR REDEMPTION IS DRAWING NEAR".
• 08:52 HE SAYS HERE THAT THERE WILL BE A FLOOD,
• 08:55 A TORRENT OF JUDGMENT THAT'S SPENT ON THE NATIONS HELL BENT ON DESTROYING THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 09:03 BUT THEN HE SAYS A WORD HERE THAT TO ME IS STRIKING.
• 09:05 HE FINISHES IN THE 38TH CHAPTER IN VERSE 23 SAYING,
• 09:23 NOW I WANT YOU TO HEAR ME ON THIS.
• 09:25 GOD IS GOING TO MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN BY THE WAY HE
• 09:28 PULLS THE RABBIT OUT OF THE HAT IN THE MIDDLE EAST FINALLY AND FULLY AT THE APPEARANCE OF HIS SON THE MESSIAH.
• 09:37 LET ME JUST SAY SPEAKING OF WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS THAT IN SOME SENSE WE ARE THE ADVANCED TROOPS.
• 09:44 THE TROOPS STORMED NORMANDY IN A BYGONE ERA
• 09:50 SIMILARLY THAT WE TODAY ARE GOD'S ARMY OUT HERE IN THE WORLD TO MAKE HIS WORD KNOWN,
• 09:56 TO SHOW CONGRUENCE BETWEEN THE ANCIENT WORD AND THE MODERN WORLD.
• 10:03 IT'S A GREAT STORY.
• 10:05 ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS IS PLEASED TO TELL THAT STORY
• 10:09 AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR GETTING BEHIND US IN HELPING US TO DO THAT WITH YOUR PRAYERS AND WITH YOUR CARES,

• 12:02 "HEY ARE YOU GUYS STILL TAKING YOUR TRIPS TO ISRAEL OR ARE YOU GOING TO STOP?"
• 12:05 HEY LISTEN WE'RE NEVER GOING TO STOP, NOT ON MY WATCH.
• 12:10 PART OF THAT IS BECAUSE THE CHALLENGES IN ISRAEL ARE LOCALIZED.
• 12:14 IT'S NOT A WORLD ABLAZE IN THE MIDDLE EAST WITH EVERYONE IN ISRAEL RUNNING FOR COVER.
• 12:20 I'VE BEEN TO ISRAEL SCORES OF TIMES AND I ALWAYS HAVE THE TIME OF MY LIFE
• 12:25 AND I GET TO MEET SOME NEW FRIENDS ALONG THE WAY.

• 14:13 "THE EVIL EMPIRE STRIKES BACK",
• 14:16 IT WAS A LOOK AT BELLICOSE ACTIVITY OUT OF THE FORMER USSR THAT DOESN'T LOOK SO FORMER.
• 14:23 PEOPLE THOUGHT THE RUSSIAN BEAR WAS DE-CLAWED AND BECAME A PUPPY
• 14:27 BUT THAT'S NOT THE WORLD THAT WE'RE LIVING IN,
• 14:29 WE'RE SEEING SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND BIBLE READERS HAVE KNOWN THAT ALL ALONG.
• 14:34 IN EZEKIEL WE HEAR ABOUT A CONFEDERACY AGAINST ISRAEL THAT'S HEADED BY A MAJOR SUPERPOWER DUE NORTH
• 14:39 AND DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT,

• 15:06 "WHOSE LAND IS IT?"
• 15:08 TODAY PEOPLE DEBATE ABOUT WHOSE LAND IT IS.
• 15:10 WELL THIS SHOULD BE NO DEBATE FOR BIBLE READERS,
• 15:14 NONE WHATSOEVER.
• 15:15 AND IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THE WORLD FROM BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVES
• 15:20 AND WORK WITH THE QUESTION "WHOSE LAND IS IT?"
• 15:23 WELL ZOLA LEVITT, THE FOUND OF THIS MINISTRY, THE LATE ZOLA LEVITT.
• 15:27 IT SAYS THAT THE STRONG ARM OF THE PEN REACHES BEYOND THE GRAVE.
• 15:31 WHEN WE WRITE OUR VOICE CONTINUES WHEN WE'RE UNABLE TO CONTINUE SPEAKING
• 15:36 BECAUSE WE CAN HEAR THAT MAN AND HE WAS ONE OF THE PIONEERS IN CHRISTIAN BROADCASTING
• 15:40 CERTAINLY IN HELPING INDIVIDUALS SEE THE BIBLE FROM A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE.
• 15:44 I STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF A GIANT WITH ZOLA LEVITT.
• 15:47 "WHOSE LAND IS IT?" IS A DVD.
• 15:49 IF YOU WANT TO SEE HIM AS WELL AS HEAR HIM GET IT,
• 15:51 IT'S GOOD STUFF.
• 15:53 THE LATE ZOLA LEVITT AND THE CURRENT DR. TOM MCCALL
• 15:56 WROTE "SATAN IN THE SANCTUARY"
• 15:58 BIBLE PROPHECY AT ITS BEST.
• 16:01 THESE GUYS TEAMED UP AND WROTE A CLASSIC HERE.
• 16:03 YEARS AGO FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN THE TABERNACLE, THE TEMPLE, WHEN'S IT GOING TO BE RE-BUILT,
• 16:08 WHAT'S THE STORY?
• 16:10 "THE HOUSE THAT GOD BUILT"
• 16:11 BY JEFFREY SEIF AND ZOLA LEVITT WRITTEN TWENTY SOME YEARS AGO.
• 16:15 RECENTLY I'VE WRITTEN OTHER BOOKS,
• 16:17 "THE IRANIAN MENACE IN JEWISH HISTORY AND PROPHECY".
• 16:20 WE LOOK AT THAT.
• 16:21 "COMING, THE END" WITH ZOLA LEVITT.
• 16:24 I'M NOT TRYING TO SELL A BUNCH OF BOOKS REAL QUICK.
• 16:27 WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS CONVEY TO YOU THAT IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THE NEWS
• 16:33 AND IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THE NEWS WITH BIBLICAL VIEWS
• 16:37 AND IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN BIBLICAL VIEWS WITH JEWISH NEWS,
• 16:41 IF YOU WANT TO PUT JEWISH EYES ON THE WORLD AND THE WORD
• 16:45 ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES IS A GO-TO SOURCE FOR YOU.
• 16:53 IS THE PLACE TO GO
• 16:56 AND IF YOU'LL GO THERE YOU CAN SHOP THERE, YOU CAN STOP THERE,
• 16:59 THERE'S BOOKS IF YOU WANT
• 17:01 AND THERE'S STUFF FOR FREE.
• 17:02 YOU CAN VIEW PAST TELEVISION PROGRAMS.
• 17:06 WE'RE IN THE BUSINESS OF FILMING ON LOCATION IN ISRAEL AND YOU HELP US DO IT.
• 17:12 THE WAY THAT YOU HELP US IS YOU BUY OUR BOOKS; YOU BUY OUR DVDS,
• 17:16 YOU SEND LOVE OFFERINGS AND DONATIONS.
• 17:19 THAT'S YOUR WAY OF SAYING GO TO IT JEFFREY WE SUPPORT YOU,
• 17:23 YOU'RE OUR MISSIONARY TO THE MODERN WORLD.
• 17:26 I CAN KNOCK ON DOORS AS A MISSIONARY AND GET INTO ONE LIVING ROOM AFTER ANOTHER
• 17:31 BUT BECAUSE YOU SEND ME THROUGH TELEVISION I CAN GET AND DO GET INTO MILLIONS OF LIVING ROOMS AT A SHOT.
• 17:38 AND HOW IS THAT?
• 17:40 BECAUSE PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE TOO ON EDGE AND OFFENDED TO HEAR FROM ME DIRECT,
• 17:45 A JEWISH PERSON MAY WELL BE UPSET.
• 17:47 HOW CAN YOU BE A JEWISH PERSON WHO BELIEVES IN JESUS?
• 17:49 A CHRISTIAN PERSON CAN VERY WELL...
• 17:51 OR A NOMINALLY CHRISTIAN PERSON OR SOMEONE WHO THINKS THEY'RE A CHRISTIAN PERSON
• 17:54 CAN SAY WELL HOW CAN YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS AND DO THAT?
• 17:58 AND EVEN AN ARAB PERSON, A MUSLIM PERSON WHO IS CURIOUS ABOUT THE WAY WE PEOPLE THINK,
• 18:03 IF I WERE TO KNOCK ON THOSE DOORS THEY MAY WELL GET SLAMMED ON MY FACE
• 18:07 BUT TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS MILLIONS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WATCH ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS
• 18:13 AND THE REASON IS IS BECAUSE YOU HELP US DO THE PRESENTING AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THAT
• 18:19 AND WE PEDDLE OUR MERCHANDISE A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THE AIRTIME WHICH AINT GETTING ANY CHEAPER.
• 18:26 BUT GOD'S WORKING THROUGH IT ALL AND HELPING US AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR HELPING US.
• 18:32 WE LIVE IN AN INTERESTING WORLD AND I APPRECIATE THAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS
• 18:37 TO GET SOME PERSPECTIVE ON THE WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN.
• 18:40 AND I'LL COME BACK IN A MOMENT;
• 18:42 WE'LL CONTINUE TO HEAR FROM YOU.
• 18:44 I WANT TO READ SOME OF YOUR MAIL AND CONSIDER SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE'RE ASKING
• 18:49 AS WE LOOK AT THIS SPECIAL EDITION OF ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 19:03 ♪(ORCHESTRA PLAYING)♪
• 20:09 AND THAT WAS ZOLA AND ZOLA'S MUSIC.
• 20:13 IF YOU EVER EXPERIENCED MY PREDECESSOR ZOLA LEVITT ON THIS PROGRAM
• 20:18 YOU'VE HEARD A GUY WHO WAS STRAIGHT FORWARD TO A FAULT.
• 20:22 HE WAS NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT.
• 20:25 AND IN A POLITICALLY CORRECT WORLD HE INVOKED THE IRE OF MANY
• 20:30 AND DREW FIRE FOR BEING STRAIGHT FORWARD AND DIRECT.
• 20:34 ZOLA HAD A MORE GENTEEL SIDE THAT CAME THROUGH IN HIS MUSIC,
• 20:40 MUSIC ABOUT THE LOVE OF GOD AND MUSIC ABOUT THE LOVE OF ISRAEL.
• 20:45 I CAN THINK OF ANOTHER JEWISH WARRIOR SONG WRITER
• 20:50 AND WHILE ZOLA LEVITT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO EVERYONE,
• 20:55 THIS GUY HAD A BROADER CIRCULATION
• 20:57 AND I'M TALKING ABOUT KING DAVID THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR KING IN BIBLICAL LITERATURE .
• 21:05 THE BOOK OF PSALMS HAS 75 PIECES THAT HAVE HIS SIGNATURE ATTACHED TO IT.
• 21:13 WE DEVELOPED A SERIES RECENTLY THAT'S GOING TO BE COMING TO YOU SOON CALLED "THE WARRIOR KING"
• 21:22 AND IT'S SUBTITLED, "DAVID-LIKE LEADERSHIP FOR GOLIATH-LIKE TIMES".
• 21:29 AND OH WHAT A TIME TO TELL HIS STORY ESPECIALLY WHEN WE LOOK AT THE WORLD AS IT IS RIGHT NOW
• 21:36 AND YOU'RE GONNA FIND IT TIMELY AS TIMELY CAN BE.
• 21:40 WELL IT'S ABOUT TIME WE LOOKED AT SOME MAIL
• 21:43 AND I GOT A PIECE HERE FROM A VIEWER WHO WAS CURIOUS ABOUT A QUESTION THAT MIGHT BE ON YOUR MIND AS WELL.
• 21:49 THEY WANTED TO KNOW,
• 22:03 IT'S A REASONABLE QUESTION AT ONE LEVEL.
• 22:07 YOU MIGHT RECALL JESUS IS ON RECORD IN CHAPTER 5 OF THE MATTHIAN GOSPEL, THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW SAYING,
• 22:21 MINDFUL OF THAT SOME ARE INCLINED TO THINK
• 22:25 THAT TO BE CHRISTIAN, TO BE APPROPRIATELY CHRISTIAN MEANS TO BE SHEEPISH, DOCILE,
• 22:32 FOREVER LET OPPRESSORS RUN ROUGH SHOD OVER US.
• 22:38 I KNOW AS A POLICE OFFICER THAT INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE BATTERED IN HOMES,
• 22:43 NEVER MIND POLITICAL VIOLENCE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE,
• 22:47 INDIVIDUALS THINK WELL IT'S MY DUTY IN LIFE TO SUFFER UNDER THIS OPPRESSION
• 22:52 BECAUSE GOD WANTS ME TO BE SHEEPISH AND OBEDIENT AND SO FORTH.
• 22:56 I BELIEVE BY THE WAY THAT IS A WEAK TELLING OF THE CHRISTIAN STORY.
• 23:01 THERE'S ONE THING TO BEAR INSULTS, ITS ANOTHER THING TO LET THE WORLD RUN OVER YOU
• 23:09 AND RAPE AND PILLAGE AND PLUNDER AND KILL,
• 23:12 TO LET THE WORLD RUN OFF WITH YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS AND YOUR WIFE AND YOUR FAMILY
• 23:18 AND YOUR HOUSES AND YOUR LANDS AND TO SIT BY IDLY AS AN EXTENSION OF A RELIGIOUS VIRTUE.
• 23:24 FOR ME THAT IS A VIRTUE THAT I JUST DON'T BUY INTO.
• 23:30 WHEN I LOOK AT THE BIBLE STORY, THAT TO STAND UP AND TO RISK LIFE...
• 23:36 THIS BY THE WAY IS WHY WE SHOULD BE PRAYING FOR OUR TROOPS
• 23:39 NOT EVEN TACITLY COMMUNICATING THAT IT'S INAPPROPRIATE FOR THEM TO BE TROOPS.
• 23:44 AND THE REASON WHY WE SHOULD PRAY FOR THEM
• 23:46 AND LET ME JUST SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THIS IS BECAUSE OF JESUS' OWN WORDS.
• 23:51 DO YOU RECALL IN THE JOHANNINE GOSPEL, THE GOSPEL OF JOHN WHEN JESUS WENT ON RECORD SAYING,
• 24:08 I DON'T GLORY IN WAR AND IN THE BLOOD AND THE NEED TO BEAR ARMS AND SEND ARMS IN HARMS WAY
• 24:14 BUT I DO KNOW IN THE WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN WICKED AS IT IS
• 24:19 THAT ITS INCUMBENT UPON THE BETTER PART OF THE CULTURE,
• 24:23 MEN AND WOMEN THAT ARE INCLINED TO BEAR ARMS TO DEFEND HOME AND HEARTH
• 24:29 AND THAT OFFENDS NO BIBLICAL VIRTUE.
• 24:32 WELL I WANT TO BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIRTUE
• 24:36 AND YOUR KINDNESS IN HELPING ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES DO WHAT ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES DOES.
• 24:44 AND COMING YOUR WAY SOON IS A BRAND NEW SERIES CALLED "THE WARRIOR KING"
• 24:50 WHEN WE LOOK AT DAVID-LIKE LEADERSHIP IN THESE GOLIATH-LIKE TIMES.
• 25:49 I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THAT CLIP OF A COMING ATTRACTION "THE WARRIOR KING".
• 25:54 I'LL TELL YA I'M HONESTLY, DEEPLY EXCITED TO BRING IT TO YOU
• 25:59 AND THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME GET IT TO YOU.
• 26:02 I'D LIKE TO SUMMARIZE WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THIS 30 MINUTES
• 26:06 PRINCIPALLY MINDFUL OF THE FACT THAT MANY ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN.
• 26:12 WHAT I WANTED TO REMIND YOU OF IS THAT THIS WORLD IS NOT SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL.
• 26:18 INDIVIDUALS ARE SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL IN THIS WORLD PERSONALLY
• 26:24 BUT THEY NEED TO GET THEIR SELVES ALIGNED WITH THE GOD OF HISTORY
• 26:27 AND LET HIS STORY BE YOUR STORY.
• 26:31 AND THE WAY YOU DO THAT IS YOU GET RIGHT WITH GOD, YOU REPENT OF YOUR SINS,
• 26:34 YOU COMMIT YOUR WAYS TO HIM AND YOU TRUST AND HE WILL ACT.
• 26:38 WE HAVE A GOOD GOD WHO'S ACTING IN HUMAN AFFAIRS.
• 26:41 THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US TODAY TO LEARN ABOUT HIS WAYS
• 26:44 AND AS WE GO, SHA 'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM.
• 26:48 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
