Caption transcript for Beauty For Ashes: “The Ground” (2/9)
- 00:01 After the ashes of the Holocaust
- 00:03 Israel was reborn.
- 00:05 Today on this program we're going to see
- 00:06 how these contrasting events
- 00:09 fulfill Bible prophecy.
- 00:34 ISAIAH 61:3 "I will consol those who mourn in Zion,"
- 00:38 ISAIAH 61:3 "to give them beauty for ashes,"
- 00:41 ISAIAH 61:3 "the oil of joy for mourning,"
- 00:45 ISAIAH 61:3 "the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness,"
- 00:49 ISAIAH 61:3 "that they might be called oaks of righteousness,"
- 00:53 ISAIAH 61:3 "the planting of Adonai, that He may be glorified."
- 01:02 " Shalom Haverim ", "Welcome Friends"
- 01:04 Welcome to our program.
- 01:05 I'm Myles Weiss.
- 01:06 And I'm Katharine Weiss.
- 01:08 The series that we have for you today,
- 01:09 it is called "Beauty for Ashes".
- 01:12 You know, the horror of the Holocaust
- 01:15 we're contrasting with the vibrancy
- 01:17 of the new State of Israel.
- 01:19 Yeah, it's a miracle.
- 01:20 It is a miracle that out of that horror, as you say,
- 01:24 this incredibly vibrant,
- 01:25 forward thinking, inventive, creative,
- 01:28 loving nation has been born.
- 01:31 The Jewish people - we don't like to use the word "Holocaust",
- 01:33 that's the Greek.
- 01:34 So we say " Ha'Shoah "
- 01:36 which means the destruction or the catastrophe.
- 01:38 And it's more of an understanding of what happened
- 01:41 because the other words seem to imply
- 01:43 some kind of fiery sacrifice.
- 01:45 It's related to pagan thought.
- 01:47 And so Jewish people use " Ha'Shoah "
- 01:49 There's even a day for celebrating remembering.
- 01:51 " Yom Ha'Shoah "
- 01:52 Yes, observing what was lost there.
- 01:54 Our typical associations
- 01:56 have to do with the crematoria,
- 01:58 and the graves
- 01:59 and all of the things we've seen in movies
- 02:01 and heard over the years.
- 02:03 But sometimes the Nazi's
- 02:06 in their expedient, dramatic way at the time
- 02:08 were in such a hurry to get rid of people
- 02:11 that they would just take them out
- 02:12 and shoot them without any discussion.
- 02:14 So we took some time to go to what's called
- 02:17 the "Execution Wall", or the "Death Wall"
- 02:20 And it was very emotional.
- 02:23 Also called the "Black Wall", speaking of death.
- 02:26 There's just no words to describe what you
- 02:30 feel when you're in Auschwitz.
- 02:33 You actually do hear the blood still crying out.
- 02:36 Like in reference to Abel
- 02:39 the blood was spilled by Cain.
- 02:41 You know, God marks those things
- 02:43 that aren't supposed to have happened.
- 02:45 So let's go now
- 02:47 and hear more from Myles in Poland.
- 03:31 We're here on our way
- 03:33 to the infamous "Death Wall",
- 03:36 the execution place.
- 03:39 On this side is the Building 10
- 03:42 Block 10 which was sealed to
- 03:45 try to prevent the people from hearing
- 03:48 the sounds of the executions.
- 03:49 But it was here that the experiments
- 03:51 were beginning to take place
- 03:53 including forced sterilization.
- 03:55 You have to know that the Nazi's
- 03:57 in their desire to create a master race
- 03:59 started with the Slov's and the Pole's
- 04:01 and then the Jews and the Gypsies, etc.
- 04:03 because their desire was to
- 04:06 in several generations
- 04:07 wipe out any of the inferior races.
- 04:09 On this side is Block 11.
- 04:12 Block 11 was where all hope was lost.
- 04:14 They were on their way to extermination.
- 04:16 They would be brought out here to be shot.
- 04:19 The most salient thing is that the Germans
- 04:21 being German used German law so called
- 04:24 in order to make this appear as a courtroom
- 04:28 where people were politically being executed.
- 04:31 So they would be called out on
- 04:34 their infraction of the German law
- 04:36 and then shot here at the "Death Wall".
- 04:48 This is the execution wall,
- 04:50 the "Death Wall".
- 04:52 This is where the blood was so thick
- 04:54 they had to periodically change the sand
- 04:58 to soak up the blood of the prisoners
- 05:00 that were executed here.
- 05:02 You have to remember
- 05:03 this was a scientific
- 05:06 extermination over many years.
- 05:10 You know it is so sobering to be here
- 05:12 because you can literally hear
- 05:14 the blood crying out from this place.
- 05:16 It's surreal and it's a place that
- 05:20 was important for us to come
- 05:22 not only to pay our respects to
- 05:24 the people that passed here
- 05:26 but to remember
- 05:27 and to pass on the memory.
- 05:28 The women that were tortured.
- 05:30 The men that were tortured.
- 05:32 The children who died,
- 05:33 simply because their whole crime
- 05:35 was because they were a Jew.
- 05:37 You know it was cruel beyond cruel.
- 05:39 The women were shaven,
- 05:41 they were taking their clothes off,
- 05:43 they were tattooed,
- 05:44 they were become animals
- 05:47 and the whole crime, again
- 05:49 was because they were a Jew, or
- 05:51 maybe somebody who
- 05:52 helped the Jewish people.
- 05:54 So we need to remember.
- 05:56 We need to know that humanism
- 05:58 like Myles was saying, will not fix this.
- 06:00 We have to understand that the knowledge of
- 06:03 good and evil is the knowledge of death.
- 06:06 We have to partake of the knowledge of the tree of life.
- 06:10 It's hard to speak from this place
- 06:14 knowing that it was a systematic place of execution.
- 06:17 It's hard to do but as Katharine said
- 06:20 we want you to remember,
- 06:23 we want you to never forget,
- 06:25 and we want you to stand with Israel and the Jewish people,
- 06:28 and we want you to know that Yeshua is the only answer.
- 06:51 I think you can see from these segments
- 06:53 that we were overcome with emotion.
- 06:56 It was really hard to be just standing there
- 06:58 and really sense the history
- 07:02 much more than I expected to.
- 07:04 You sense what man can do when
- 07:07 he's inspired by the Devil.
- 07:09 And that's the exact opposite
- 07:11 of what the modern State of Israel is.
- 07:13 It's man inspired by God and His Word
- 07:16 and the Word coming alive.
- 07:17 Yeah, they didn't bother -
- 07:19 We often associate Holocaust movies and history
- 07:24 with the showers and the gas and the crematorium.
- 07:27 But sometimes the Nazi's they didn't want to bother
- 07:30 and they would just put certain people in these barracks
- 07:33 and then just slaughter them with gun shot and
- 07:35 so there's this wall that you saw.
- 07:38 And the degradation was so systematic.
- 07:41 There was this high level of care for animals.
- 07:45 There was a real ethical animal treatment culture in Germany at the time.
- 07:49 And so to put the Jews in cattle cars
- 07:52 was to basically say that they were less value than the animals.
- 07:56 Wow!
- 07:56 Well we talked with two survivors and
- 07:58 we're going to hear their stories now of
- 08:00 how they were transported in
- 08:02 these cattle cars to Auschwitz.
- 08:13 We were herded in from our houses into a Ghetto -
- 08:18 a specific area of the town where all
- 08:21 the Jews were gathered.
- 08:24 And we were told that we were going to
- 08:27 be taken to work in farms in Hungary.
- 08:32 My mother made from canvas,
- 08:35 rucksacks for us.
- 08:38 She filled them in with all the daily needs
- 08:41 we needed to be taken wherever.
- 08:45 One morning we had orders to get ready -
- 08:49 we were going to be marched
- 08:52 into this brick factory
- 08:54 from where we're going to be taken by train.
- 08:57 So we filled up these rucksacks and what it is
- 09:00 very much in my memory is when we put on the
- 09:04 rucksacks with the weight on them
- 09:06 they started tearing.
- 09:08 And we had to pull them.
- 09:11 And everybody helped everybody with our bags
- 09:15 and we marched for nearly 4 hours
- 09:17 till we got to the brick factory.
- 09:19 Half of the rucksacks were left on the floor,
- 09:21 we couldn't cope.
- 09:23 Then we had to sleep on the floor in this brick factory
- 09:27 till our group was ready
- 09:32 to get on to this cattle track train.
- 09:35 We got on to these cattle track trains.
- 09:38 We were about 120 people in a cattle track train -
- 09:42 There was no room to move -
- 09:43 there was no room sit -
- 09:45 just like sardines.
- 09:47 Standing - Yes.
- 09:48 And the train started to move
- 09:51 and my father looked out through that little window
- 09:55 and saw the names of the stations.
- 09:58 He said children it's no good,
- 10:01 they are taking us to Poland.
- 10:03 And we knew already then
- 10:04 what was happening to the Jews in Poland -
- 10:07 they were killing them.
- 10:08 But we couldn't do anything about it.
- 10:11 The ride in the cattle car was
- 10:14 horrific in the sense people were crammed in a car
- 10:20 going to who knows where.
- 10:23 It was very hot.
- 10:27 It was the last week in May.
- 10:30 This little crowded tin box of a car
- 10:35 heated up tremendously.
- 10:37 So when train would stop -
- 10:40 because there was no other way for us to ask for anything
- 10:44 we would ask the guard by our cattle car for water.
- 10:50 He would always say five gold watches.
- 10:54 They were very interested in gold.
- 10:57 When the grownups gathered that
- 11:00 he would get a bucket of water
- 11:03 from the ground outside
- 11:05 and kind of throw it
- 11:07 towards one of the windows.
- 11:09 So I wondered at the time
- 11:12 why do we keep asking for gold watches -
- 11:15 giving them gold watches and asking for water?
- 11:19 Because there had to be another reason.
- 11:23 It wasn't for the water we were getting.
- 11:27 I didn't really understand it until 1978 when
- 11:33 I realized that the reason we were trying to find out
- 11:39 that we were asking for water
- 11:42 and giving them gold watches -
- 11:44 we were trying to find out where they were taking us.
- 11:48 We did not believe them that they were going to
- 11:51 take us to Hungary to a slave labor camp.
- 11:56 We were very concerned that we would be
- 11:59 taken to Germany to be murdered.
- 12:03 It was the third night in the cattle car.
- 12:07 The train stopped, we asked for water
- 12:10 and answer came back in German.
- 12:14 I was 10 years old.
- 12:16 I instantly understood what happened.
- 12:20 The train has crossed the border into Germany and
- 12:24 our Hungarian guards have been changed to German.
- 12:29 That of course meant that we were not going to
- 12:34 Hungary to a labor camp but were being taken to
- 12:37 Germany to be murdered.
- 12:40 Everybody in our cattle car understood it and
- 12:44 people were praying.
- 12:58 One of the common themes
- 12:59 we hear in these testimonies
- 13:02 is the systematic deception that was
- 13:04 used by the Nazi's to kind of bring
- 13:07 a false calm to people
- 13:09 so they could take them into
- 13:11 the next step of destruction.
- 13:13 Well people think that
- 13:14 the Jewish people didn't resist at all.
- 13:16 They did resist.
- 13:18 But any time they did resist
- 13:19 their family members were tortured or
- 13:22 that resistance was put out immediately.
- 13:25 Right, there was also this continued
- 13:27 false hope that was given.
- 13:29 That's why we contrast in an earlier program
- 13:31 the difference between false hope
- 13:33 and "Hatikva" "The Hope".
- 13:34 And we really hear that from these survivors
- 13:36 that they were little by little
- 13:40 just lied to until they were able to be
- 13:43 taken to where the Nazi's had them go.
- 13:46 And we understand from this that we
- 13:49 wrestle not against flesh and blood.
- 13:51 This is a spiritual battle.
- 13:53 It manifests itself in the earth
- 13:55 through real people doing real evil.
- 13:56 We need to attend to that.
- 13:58 But ultimately its a war over the souls of men.
- 14:00 It goes back to the Garden of Eden.
- 14:02 It goes back to the fall Satan.
- 14:05 And we see that playing out in these lives
- 14:08 as they are being systematically reduced
- 14:11 and being flayed open by this death machine.
- 14:17 It's very sobering.
- 14:20 We'll be back after this.
- 14:29 Our offer this week "The Holocaust".
- 14:32 A series of six programs that covers
- 14:35 the most tragic event in world history.
- 14:37 Zola Levitt reports on the awful Holocaust
- 14:40 through hard hitting interviews
- 14:42 and location taping at the Dachau concentration camp.
- 14:46 As an insidious form of anti-Semitism
- 14:48 now grows around the globe
- 14:50 it behooves us to be aware of
- 14:52 the historical perspective that
- 14:54 brought Hitler's regime into power.
- 14:57 "The Holocaust"
- 14:58 featuring the teaching of Zola Levitt.
- 15:02 Hi, you know so much is happening
- 15:03 in the world today
- 15:04 regarding Bible prophecy
- 15:06 and especially in Israel too.
- 15:08 this is the lens through which
- 15:10 everything has to be told.
- 15:11 And that's what we're doing
- 15:13 here at Zola Levitt Presents.
- 15:15 We're only able to do it
- 15:16 as you're able to give.
- 15:18 Your generous donations keep our program going.
- 15:20 So please continue to give as you are able.
- 15:23 And we will continue to bring you the news
- 15:26 through this Word.
- 15:35 ♪ Background Music ♪
- 16:06 Come with us to Israel
- 16:07 on one of our tours.
- 16:08 It is the miracle
- 16:10 of the rebirth of Israel.
- 16:11 And you're feet will stand
- 16:13 where the patriarchs stood.
- 16:15 It's a Land that speaks
- 16:17 of prophecy fulfilled.
- 16:18 It's a miracle.
- 16:20 And I love taking
- 16:21 pilgrims with us.
- 16:22 We go Fall and Spring.
- 16:24 Yeah, its really wonderful to see
- 16:25 how God has overcome the attempt to
- 16:27 wipe out the Jewish people.
- 16:30 We see this in the 20th Century with the Nazi's.
- 16:32 They killed one-third of all the Jews in the world.
- 16:35 And yet God has redeemed the Land
- 16:37 and brought the people back.
- 16:38 And there's going to be more and more
- 16:40 opportunity to be there looking for
- 16:43 the coming of Messiah.
- 16:44 We just encourage you to come with us to Israel.
- 16:47 And one of the things you will
- 16:49 see in this upcoming segment
- 16:50 is the abundance of life.
- 16:51 So let's go to the market place in Jerusalem.
- 17:06 We're here in Machne Yehuda
- 17:09 the Jewish Market.
- 17:10 It's coequally called "The Shook".
- 17:12 And really its the scene of
- 17:14 unparalleled busy-ness
- 17:16 especially now during Purim.
- 17:18 It's a time of celebration
- 17:20 You might see some costumes.
- 17:22 We're here and one of the stories that has to be told is
- 17:25 the incredible power of the reclamation of the Land.
- 17:28 The reclaiming of the Land
- 17:30 and the power of the reclaiming of the water through
- 17:33 the technologies that have developed here.
- 17:35 So many things, innovative things
- 17:38 have taken place here in Israel
- 17:40 that have not been anywhere else in the world.
- 17:41 For example, I know that you have tasted
- 17:44 cherry tomatoes during your life.
- 17:46 No question about it.
- 17:48 You've tasted these cherry tomatoes -
- 17:49 they were developed here in Israel.
- 17:51 You might find that some things
- 17:53 that are typically smaller and easier
- 17:56 to deal with in a compact way
- 17:58 have been developed here - Why?
- 17:59 Because its a tiny place.
- 18:01 This whole country is the size of the State of New Jersey.
- 18:05 And so what's gone on here is a dream come true
- 18:08 of Green technology
- 18:10 developing all kinds of ways
- 18:14 of technologically improving the amount
- 18:17 of produce that can come from the Land.
- 18:20 For example, the "Bread Basket of Israel",
- 18:23 The Jezreel Valley.
- 18:25 We found that the original wheat
- 18:27 that we see all over the Land,
- 18:29 all over the world,
- 18:30 the original wheat could be traced to the Jezreel Valley.
- 18:34 What does that mean?
- 18:35 It means that - surprise,
- 18:37 the "Bread of Life" began right here in Israel.
- 18:40 And that is not surprising
- 18:42 as we know Mashiach has come from Beit Lahm
- 18:45 from Bethlehem, the "House of Bread".
- 18:48 We see this throughout the Land,
- 18:50 this incredible produce,
- 18:51 the development of a concentrated amounts
- 18:55 of food for a small place,
- 18:56 the small amount of land.
- 18:58 When you see this variety,
- 19:00 all this incredible variety of produce,
- 19:02 everywhere we go in the Land you'll see this.
- 19:04 Developed originally in the kibbutzim .
- 19:07 Kibbutzim comes from the root word " qibbetz "
- 19:10 Jeremiah 29:14 , speaks about qibbetz , about "gathering".
- 19:14 And that's what we see here.
- 19:16 Look at these, dried fruits, incredible.
- 19:19 We have to try this mish mish, an apricot.
- 19:22 We'll see if my friend will let me buy one from him.
- 19:24 Thank you.
- 19:26 I will pick the most beautiful mish mish I could find.
- 19:31 I wish you could taste this.
- 19:33 We have the best produce in the world here,
- 19:36 developed without hardly any water
- 19:39 because the water system is one of
- 19:41 the great stories of Israel.
- 19:44 For example, the fish here.
- 19:47 In order to develop the fish farms
- 19:49 water had to be reclaimed.
- 19:51 So desalinization is one of the major projects of Israel.
- 19:54 80% of water used in this Land is reclaimed water,
- 19:58 some through desalinization,
- 20:00 some through the incredible drip system
- 20:02 of irrigation that was developed here in Israel.
- 20:05 And it's interesting how that happened.
- 20:07 A man name Simcha Blass
- 20:09 in around the 1950's,
- 20:11 he was walking along his kibbutz
- 20:14 and he saw that some of the trees
- 20:15 were larger than the others.
- 20:18 And he went to one of the larger trees
- 20:19 and he found a broken pipe from the water system
- 20:22 that flowed from the Galilee to the rest of the nation.
- 20:25 A broken pipe.
- 20:26 And he noticed that the dripping
- 20:28 from the broken pipe
- 20:29 created this incredible growth.
- 20:31 And the idea for drip irrigation
- 20:34 began here and has been exported from here to 110 nations.
- 20:39 One of the great stories of the reclamation
- 20:41 are the fish farms.
- 20:42 Sea Bass, Tilapia, Baramundi.
- 20:45 These fish are developed
- 20:46 in fish ponds throughout the country.
- 20:48 And then the waste water from the fish farms is
- 20:51 used to irrigate the olive groves.
- 20:54 It's a complete story of Green technology
- 20:57 in its best case possible.
- 20:59 It is being developed everywhere.
- 21:02 And the story of Israel
- 21:04 is the story of reclamation,
- 21:05 it's the story of Green coming from brown
- 21:08 of the incredible growth of reclamation and restoration.
- 21:12 It's part of God's story for this Land
- 21:14 which is the story of restoration
- 21:16 and is leading to a spiritual restoration
- 21:19 that will usher in the coming of Messiah .
- 21:35 Here we are in the Shook on a Friday morning.
- 21:38 People are getting ready for Shabbat .
- 21:39 It's actually Purim.
- 21:41 But you know what?
- 21:42 Mark Twain said in 1867,
- 21:55 It was desolate.
- 21:57 But the Israelis came back to the Land
- 21:59 and the Land began to flourish.
- 22:01 It began to bud.
- 22:02 It began to produce.
- 22:05 You know its said that
- 22:06 the Land smiled on the Israelis
- 22:08 as they came back.
- 22:10 There were swamps that they drained.
- 22:13 There were rocks Myles that they had to unearth.
- 22:16 And now instead of swamps and desert and rocky terrain
- 22:21 there are farms, there are vineyards
- 22:23 and there are just beautiful orchards
- 22:25 that produce this kind of fruit.
- 22:27 You see this Land is flowing with milk and honey now
- 22:30 because of the Israelis back
- 22:33 and because most of all
- 22:34 Yashem's , God's promise to this Land.
- 22:37 That it would once again bring forth life.
- 22:40 At the beginning of this rebirth
- 22:42 one-third of the immigrants had malaria.
- 22:46 But 20 years after the State was established
- 22:49 malaria was completely eliminated
- 22:51 because the swamps were drained.
- 22:53 At first the Israelis brought in Eucalyptus trees
- 22:56 hoping that they would drain the water.
- 22:58 But that didn't work.
- 22:59 So they had to drain the swamps
- 23:01 out towards the Mediterranean
- 23:03 in order to dry out the Land.
- 23:05 But they made some discoveries along the way.
- 23:07 One is that in the sandy soil
- 23:09 one of the crops that will flourish
- 23:11 is a vineyard, or the grapes.
- 23:13 And so the fulfillment of Amos Chapter 9 that
- 23:16 the mountains would flow with sweet wine
- 23:19 came to be once again.
- 23:21 Mark Twain, he saw for a moment
- 23:23 what was going on
- 23:24 but he didn't see what God was about to do.
- 23:26 Yeah, and it also goes on
- 23:28 and says in Amos 9
- 23:35 So this is a further restoration.
- 23:37 You see they came back
- 23:38 and God fulfilled His Word to them.
- 23:41 We are living here in prophecy.
- 23:43 Isaiah 35 says,
- 23:48 And we are seeing it bloom once again.
- 23:50 This is the story of the Greening of the earth.
- 23:54 80% of the water that's used in Israel is reclaimed.
- 23:57 The 2nd largest reclamation nation is Spain
- 24:01 with only 10% of their water being reused.
- 24:04 So this is a real success story.
- 24:06 Everything here is dependant on the water
- 24:08 but the Israelis have understood
- 24:10 how to reclaim, how to desalinate
- 24:13 and how to use water
- 24:14 in ways that could never be see before.
- 24:17 Every day 450 million cubic meters of water
- 24:21 are reclaimed and used in Israel.
- 24:24 Yeah, and it's been also said
- 24:26 that there's nothing like the Israelis
- 24:29 cause they don't keep all these
- 24:30 wonderful technology breakthroughs
- 24:32 they share it with the world.
- 24:34 Grain-pro is a covering that's
- 24:37 used over the freshly picked grain to keep
- 24:39 the rodents and the bugs from it.
- 24:41 They've exported that technology to countries
- 24:44 that don't even have diplomatic ties to Israel,
- 24:46 such as Pakistan.
- 24:48 And one of the most incredible finds has been the " talia ".
- 24:51 It's called "God's dew".
- 24:53 They notice that if they were careful
- 24:55 to collect the dew in circular tubs
- 24:58 around the trees, around the plants,
- 25:00 they could increase the use of water.
- 25:02 And so they have a technology called
- 25:04 " Talia " or "God's dew"
- 25:06 that uses every single bit of water from heaven and
- 25:09 that comes up from below the earth.
- 25:12 So we invite you to come Israel
- 25:14 and come smell the rose that is blooming.
- 25:17 Come and taste and see the fruit of the LORD here in Israel.
- 25:35 After being barren for generations
- 25:38 the Land of Israel is back in full bloom.
- 25:41 The Land is teaming with agriculture.
- 25:43 And just the ingenuity of the drip system alone
- 25:46 has caused it to bloom Myles.
- 25:48 I was thinking as you were saying that
- 25:50 the Land is blooming
- 25:52 and business is booming.
- 25:54 It is just going in every direction.
- 25:56 High tech and medicine and education
- 25:59 its just full of life.
- 26:01 When you look at what we've seen in Auschwitz
- 26:03 and what we've seen of the darkness and
- 26:05 now to see what's happening in the Land,
- 26:07 its overwhelming.
- 26:08 I never get tired of looking into
- 26:10 and finding out what God is doing there
- 26:12 because its such a model
- 26:13 for how resurrection life comes from the
- 26:16 God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
- 26:18 Yeshua went into the depths of the hell pit, the grave
- 26:22 and came out on the other side.
- 26:24 He's the first fruits of many brethren so
- 26:26 the picture in His life as our Messiah
- 26:29 of death and then life coming.
- 26:31 The same thing with Israel.
- 26:33 Israel like Lazarus was dead and now it's alive.
- 26:35 And that's possible for anyone who will say yes to the LORD
- 26:38 say yes to the Messiah .
- 26:40 And I think that's probably why we get
- 26:43 so excited about people coming with us
- 26:44 because they -
- 26:45 It's a foretaste of what we'll see.
- 26:47 Exactly.
- 26:48 The beginning of the banqueting table,
- 26:50 the beginning or the foreshadowing
- 26:51 of what heaven will be like,
- 26:53 what life is like
- 26:54 in the presence of the LORD forever.
- 26:56 And its just very satisfying to know
- 27:00 that even the darkest most difficult time
- 27:03 in one of the most darkest times in human history
- 27:05 could not hold down what God wants to raise up.
- 27:09 Amen!
- 27:10 And we get to be part of that.
- 27:11 That's awesome.
- 27:13 Its a beautiful thing to see.
- 27:15 And we like to always remind you
- 27:17 at the end of each program.
- 27:18 Sha'a'lu Shalom Yerushalayim
- 27:20 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
