Caption transcript for Close Encounters with Yeshua: “Life Laid Down” (8/10)

• 00:01 Hello Friends, I'm David Hart.
• 00:03 And I'm Kirsten Hart.
• 00:04 Today we have another
• 00:05 wonderful dramatic reenactment.
• 00:07 Myles is teaching in
• 00:09 one of my favorite locations,
• 00:10 the Mount of Olives
• 00:11 and Gethsemane.
• 00:12 And we have an interview with
• 00:14 Messianic singer Carolyn Hyde.
• 00:25 It was not long ago our first encounter
• 00:28 on the waters of the Galilee.
• 00:29 My hand is completely restored.
• 00:32 He said, Your faith has saved you.
• 00:36 I've heard Yeshua speak in our synagogue.
• 00:39 He talked about the Kingdom of God.
• 00:42 Then He showed us His wounds in His hands and His feet.
• 00:45 I believe He really is a King.
• 00:58 Shalom Havarim, hello Friends I'm Myles Weiss.
• 01:00 And I'm Katharine Weiss.
• 01:02 Welcome to our series "Close Encounters with Yeshua"
• 01:04 It's pretty exciting Katharine
• 01:06 We're at the point in the story where
• 01:08 Jesus is about to head through
• 01:09 the Garden of Gethsemane to the Cross.
• 01:11 And everything in the storyline of the Gospels
• 01:14 is getting more intense.
• 01:15 Right.
• 01:16 The identity of who He is, is being questioned.
• 01:19 Many people around him are considering this might be the King of the Jews,
• 01:22 this might be the Messiah.
• 01:23 And so the opposition to him is growing, and growing very strongly.
• 01:26 Yeah, it's the same tension today,
• 01:28 when we want him to be Lord of all
• 01:32 and that he is Supreme.
• 01:34 You feel the powers that be resist him.
• 01:37 Jesus came for the lost house of Israel,
• 01:41 for the lost sheep of Israel.
• 01:42 And he came to the Jew first
• 01:44 and then he came for the whole world.
• 01:47 And he is setting up his eternal rule even today.
• 01:50 And so we want to continue to tell the story
• 01:53 of our Messiah, the King of the Jews.
• 01:56 So let's go now back to the drama
• 01:58 and consider this Jesus.
• 02:08 hmph
• 02:10 He's back in Jerusalem
• 02:13 again.
• 02:17 hmph
• 02:19 it was a welcoming the likes of which I've never seen.
• 02:24 hmph
• 02:26 He rode upon a simple colt this time,
• 02:30 yet they paved his way
• 02:33 with their robes.
• 02:37 hmph...hmph
• 02:38 They waved palm branches in the air.
• 02:40 Praised him... as a King!
• 02:43 hmm...hmmm
• 02:46 I can still hear the friendly
• 02:49 "Baruch haba b'shem Adonai"
• 02:56 "Blessed he who comes in the Name of God"
• 03:00 over and over and over.
• 03:07 It's a passage from the Tanakh, "The Book of Praise"
• 03:15 He recites Scripture all the time.
• 03:20 Yesterday when he was here at the Temple
• 03:23 he cast out the sellers quoting the Tanakh.
• 03:29 [Speaking Hebrew]
• 03:33 "My House...will be a House of Prayer."
• 03:38 hmph...hmmmm.
• 03:42 The High Priests, they want him dead.
• 03:49 Our Scribes want him dead.
• 03:53 But Yeshua has such an immense following
• 03:57 it's just not possible.
• 04:04 I happen to long for the Kingdom He speaks of.
• 04:13 It is a hope that burns deep within me.
• 04:22 I believe he really is a King...
• 04:27 yet to be crowned.
• 04:39 This is God's place.
• 04:41 This is the place that looks towards "HaMakom"
• 04:44 behind me, "The Place"
• 04:46 the Holy of Holies is on the Temple Mount.
• 04:49 Remember that the very City of Jerusalem is like a "Mezuzah".
• 04:53 The Mezuzah is that article that you see
• 04:56 on the inside of the gates.
• 04:57 It means "Gates" and you see it on the inside of every Jewish home
• 05:00 as people Bless the LORD on their way into and out of a home.
• 05:04 And on that Mezuzah is the Hebrew Letter "Shin".
• 05:07 It's a 3-prong Letter that looks like this
• 05:11 and really pictures Jerusalem itself.
• 05:13 There are 3 Valleys in Jerusalem...
• 05:15 The Kidron Valley
• 05:17 The Valley of Hinnom
• 05:18 and the Central Valley.
• 05:20 And the Valleys together form a "Shin"
• 05:21 because this is God's entrance place into the earth.
• 05:24 He dwelt here.
• 05:25 He called Abraham here.
• 05:27 David bought that place, the Temple Mount.
• 05:29 And it is that place that Jesus Himself will rule and reign from.
• 05:33 This is God's entry into the earth.
• 05:36 Now, as I said, the idea that Yeshua
• 05:39 was the Son of Man, was the Son of David,
• 05:42 were controversial.
• 05:43 But coming down here as the King,
• 05:45 that was a tipping point.
• 05:48 Jeremiah speaks about...
• 06:00 Yeshua, Messiah had to come from the Tribe of Judah
• 06:04 from the House of David as David's greater Son,
• 06:07 the Eternal King that God promised
• 06:09 would sit on the Throne of David.
• 06:11 But here's the thing that's so hard for us to understand.
• 06:14 He is 100 per cent "Man" and 100 per cent "Divine".
• 06:18 "Man" in that Branch was part of the family tree of mankind
• 06:22 "Divine" in that Branch could reach out and touch the entire world
• 06:28 with the Good News of Salvation.
• 06:30 "Yeshua", fully "Man", fully "God",
• 06:34 fully available for you when you say "yes.
• 06:44 We're a little further down the mountain now.
• 06:47 The actual Garden of Gethsemane.
• 06:48 It was a place, this very place,
• 06:50 or something exactly this
• 06:52 where Yeshua came to be "pressed out" for
• 06:55 your salvation and for mine.
• 06:57 In Hebrew [pronounced "Gat-sha-me"]
• 06:59 [meaning] "The oil press"
• 07:01 where the pressings take place
• 07:03 to produce the product of the olive.
• 07:05 The olive is a symbol of Israel.
• 07:08 It's a symbol of the work of God in this Land.
• 07:12 It was all prophesied by the prophets of old.
• 07:25 He prophesied all that was taking place here.
• 07:28 But first... the price had to be paid.
• 07:31 Later on, on the Southern Steps
• 07:33 Peter would preach in Acts 3
• 07:35 that it was expedient,
• 07:36 it was necessary for Yeshua to go through all of this
• 07:39 in order for all things to be restored.
• 07:41 He had to go to heaven for the refreshing to come,
• 07:44 for the restoration of all things.
• 07:47 And it's here where he knocked over the
• 07:51 soldiers that came to get him just by saying, "I Am".
• 07:55 You know, the "I Am" that incredible Name
• 07:59 that is not said here.
• 08:00 We say "HaShem", "The Name",
• 08:02 rather than say what's called in Greek the "Tetragrammaton"
• 08:06 the "Yud-Hay-Vav-Hay".
• 08:08 But Yeshua identified Himself with that Name throughout the Gospels.
• 08:12 In fact, in the Book of John,
• 08:14 10 times He says "I Am".
• 08:18 First we see here in the Garden when they come get Him,
• 08:20 "I Am He".
• 08:21 Where is Yeshua of Nazareth?
• 08:22 "I Am He"
• 08:23 and the soldiers fall backwards.
• 08:26 He says in John, "I Am the Bread of Life".
• 08:30 "Before Abraham was, I Am."
• 08:34 "I Am the Light of the world."
• 08:36 "I Am the Gate (or the Door)"
• 08:39 "I Am the Good Shepherd."
• 08:42 "I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life."
• 08:45 "I Am the Resurrection and the Life."
• 08:47 "I Am the True Vine."
• 08:49 and "I Am Yeshua of Nazareth."
• 08:52 He gives us that clear picture of
• 08:55 identification with the Father,
• 08:57 identification with God.
• 08:58 And that's what was driving the religious and political systems crazy
• 09:02 because He was saying, "I Am".
• 09:04 Now, it wasn't without cost.
• 09:07 It was here in this Garden that he experienced
• 09:10 a rare medical condition called "Hematidrosis"
• 09:14 which is when blood comes out through the sweat glands.
• 09:18 It's such an agony, such a stress on the physical body
• 09:21 that He sweat drops of blood agonizing
• 09:23 over giving His will over to the will of Father for our sakes.
• 09:28 He identifies with "Yud-Hay-Vav-Hay".
• 09:32 Watch this:
• 09:33 "Yud" - "Yeshua"
• 09:36 "Hey" - "HaMashiach"
• 09:39 "Vav" - "VaMelech"
• 09:41 "Hey" - "Yehudi"
• 09:48 identifying Himself as the King
• 09:50 of your life and of my life
• 09:53 forever identifying with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
• 09:57 as the Beloved Son in whom the Father is well pleased.
• 10:01 And it was here where he sweat drops of blood
• 10:03 preparing for what was upcoming.
• 10:06 He was on his way to the cross.

• 11:11 Yeah, that's really a good word.
• 11:13 We have the privilege of going for you but we're going with you
• 11:16 because of your gifts of funds.
• 11:17 So thank you for standing with us,
• 11:19 for supporting this Ministry.
• 11:21 We really appreciate it.
• 11:22 Well we're in this place now in the drama
• 11:24 where people are questioning the identity of Jesus.
• 11:27 They're struggling with their faith.
• 11:29 I think about how isn't that the story today?
• 11:31 I remember when I came to faith in Yeshua
• 11:33 it was not a simple a-b-c, 1-2-3.
• 11:35 There was some steps forward and some steps back.
• 11:37 And I had to really wrestle with who this person is,
• 11:40 who is this Messiah, this man, this God?
• 11:43 What is Jesus?
• 11:45 And I thank heaven that he settled the issue for me
• 11:48 And he wants to settle it for you as well.
• 11:50 So let's pick up in our drama as this questioning is coming
• 11:54 and there's this recognition of
• 11:56 the struggle of faith that we see in Peter
• 11:58 and is also seen by our character in the drama.
• 12:00 And, you may have experienced it yourself.
• 12:02 Let's pick it up now.
• 12:07 I come to Jerusalem every year at this time
• 12:11 It's a long journey from Galilee.
• 12:14 But Pesach is a special time for all of us.
• 12:18 It happened that we were close to Yeshua's group.
• 12:23 We journeyed through Jericho together.
• 12:26 The fisherman, Simon Peter,
• 12:29 seemed especially taken by him
• 12:32 intent on learning more with each step.
• 12:39 Yeshua has fascinated me for some time.
• 12:43 His closest followers seem especially devoted to him.
• 12:49 Or at least, that's what I thought.
• 12:56 Tonight the officers of the Temple Guard seized him.
• 13:01 They said he was subverting the people.
• 13:07 They took him to the house of the High Priest.
• 13:11 I followed Peter wanting to know what he would do.
• 13:19 It turns out he's not that devoted after all.
• 13:26 When spotted as a Galilean and asked if he knew Yeshua,
• 13:32 Peter said, No.
• 13:37 Said he didn't even know the man.
• 13:44 I'm confused.
• 13:48 I've seen the miracles.
• 13:51 I've heard Yeshua speak in our synagogue.
• 13:53 I believe him,
• 13:55 I really do.
• 13:59 And yet, Peter...
• 14:02 one of his closest...
• 14:06 when questioned
• 14:09 denies him.
• 14:18 I am too from Galilee.
• 14:23 What if they'll question me?
• 14:35 Peter's denial brought so much confusion
• 14:38 because it pointed out
• 14:39 that any one of us could deny the faith.
• 14:42 Right, there's always a struggle
• 14:43 between the soul and the spirit Myles.
• 14:46 Like you said,the Jewish people wanted a kingdom now.
• 14:50 They wanted Yeshua to reign now.
• 14:54 And he was setting up a different world view.
• 14:56 It's such a different picture
• 14:58 for us than for the Jewish people as a whole
• 15:00 because Israel believes in a "National" Salvation;
• 15:03 the day coming, a "Messianic" Kingdom,
• 15:06 when the entire nation will serve God
• 15:08 and there will be a time of peace and no war.
• 15:10 And so it's different than the idea of individual Salvation
• 15:13 that I think Christians are used to thinking about.
• 15:16 Right, they are praying for Mashiach to come.
• 15:18 They wanted him to be "The Lion" then
• 15:21 but he knew he needed to be "The Lamb" first.
• 15:24 There was a man who came up this way,
• 15:26 Abraham, and he brought his son.
• 15:28 God didn't require him to take his son,
• 15:32 but he required Himself to give His Son.
• 15:35 There's a fulfillment that comes in this place
• 15:38 where Yeshua is setting up that he will have a different Kingdom.
• 15:42 And I love that this morning when we were talking about this
• 15:44 you reminded me that the donkey ride of Abraham
• 15:48 is a parallel, a mirror
• 15:49 of this donkey ride of Yeshua
• 15:51 coming up to the same mountain
• 15:52 first for the picture
• 15:55 and then for the fulfillment.
• 15:56 And we know that this time here in the Garden was a
• 16:01 time of him in his own body to institute
• 16:06 what would become the Cross,
• 16:07 what would become his Kingdom mentality
• 16:10 of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
• 16:13 Romans 14:9; Paul will say that later.
• 16:16 But it was not an earthly kingdom at the time,
• 16:18 it was a Spiritual Kingdom.
• 16:20 Yeah, "My Kingdom is not of this world."
• 16:22 "My Kingdom is not meat or drink, but"
• 16:24 "My Kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit."
• 16:28 There's something that God can only give us
• 16:31 and that is love.
• 16:33 You know, the "Fruit of the Spirit is "Love".
• 16:35 And once we receive Him we receive that eternal life and we
• 16:39 receive that love that's able to go
• 16:42 over the top of whatever comes against us.
• 16:45 You know, this is the greatest,
• 16:46 "the greatest of all of these is love."
• 16:48 And he was instituting that love,
• 16:50 for mercy would triumph over judgment.
• 16:53 I love the way that Peter
• 16:55 tries to institute the Kingdom, in the flesh
• 16:57 by cutting off the ear of the [high priest's] servant in the Garden.
• 17:00 What does Yeshua do?
• 17:02 He takes the and he puts it back on,
• 17:04 he heals him with a supernatural healing
• 17:06 again saying that my kingdom is not of this world.
• 17:08 Right, he would not take up a sword
• 17:10 but he willingly laid his life down.
• 17:13 No one took his life.
• 17:15 But he laid it down for us.
• 17:17 The Lamb was slain before the foundation of the world.
• 17:20 He himself had to deal with his own flesh
• 17:23 here in this Garden,
• 17:24 here in the Garden of Gethsemane,
• 17:26 here in the "Garden Press" Myles
• 17:28 he was pressed to beyond measure.
• 17:31 I think the greatest was that he would
• 17:34 be separated from the Father saying
• 17:37 "Nevertheless not my will but Thine be done"
• 17:44 My...the battle for our will,
• 17:47 the battle for allowing God's will
• 17:50 to take our way, take our life
• 17:52 is such a... it's universal.
• 17:54 I think we all struggle with this.
• 17:56 You may be struggling with that right now.
• 17:57 The idea is that, "God you want me to go this way,"
• 18:00 "and I really want to go this way."
• 18:02 And the idea of letting him lead us in that way
• 18:06 is something that Yeshua modeled for us here
• 18:09 to the degree that he was agonizing
• 18:11 over that very thought of being separated
• 18:14 from the Father, on the cross.
• 18:15 But he had to do that for you and for me.
• 18:18 He had to win that battle of soul and spirit.
• 18:21 He had to win that battle
• 18:23 because he wanted to be, had to be
• 18:26 that perfect substitute for you and for me.
• 18:28 And really the battle was won in the Garden.
• 18:30 It was finished at the Cross which is coming up.
• 18:33 But the battle for humanity was really
• 18:37 taking place in this Garden when Yeshua was here.
• 18:40 You know he asked us, he asked the disciples
• 18:42 to pray with him... 3 times.
• 18:44 He went to them 3 times and said,
• 18:45 "Could you watch for one hour?"
• 18:47 And every time he went to them they were asleep.
• 18:49 And I think about that time of
• 18:51 going to the disciples and coming back...
• 18:53 going to the disciples and coming back.
• 18:54 And it really mirrors the "press of the olives",
• 18:57 the "press of making oil."
• 18:59 There are 3 "crushings,
• 19:00 3 "pressings" that take place.
• 19:02 And it mirrors that time of his asking us to be with him.
• 19:05 1st pressing is for the anointing of the King.
• 19:08 Remember this is "Har Mashiach" ,
• 19:10 this is the "Mountain of Anointing",
• 19:13 the Mount of Olives.
• 19:14 The 1st pressing is the anointing of the King.
• 19:16 The 2nd press is for Light for using it to light candelabra.
• 19:20 And the 3rd is for cleansing and healing
• 19:23 They would use oil
• 19:24 to scrape dirt off their body.
• 19:26 Think about that.
• 19:28 The 1st pressing is the "kingly".
• 19:30 The 2nd is "light".
• 19:31 And the 3rd is cleansing and healing.
• 19:34 The "King" came to this Garden
• 19:36 to bring "Light" to the world
• 19:39 and to provide "cleansing and healing"
• 19:42 for you and for me...
• 19:44 for us.
• 19:45 Amen!

• 20:57 Our son Ryan lives in Jerusalem.
• 21:00 And just a few weeks ago
• 21:01 he took us to "The Shuk"
• 21:03 which is the market
• 21:04 where everyone shops.
• 21:06 And especially before Shabbat
• 21:08 it's crazy, it's loud,
• 21:10 you can bargain prices down
• 21:11 and it's an exciting part
• 21:13 of real life in Israel.
• 21:15 Come tour that country with us.
• 21:17 We promise it'll change your life.
• 21:21 And now here's Katharine's interview
• 21:23 with Messianic singer, Carolyn Hyde.
• 21:27 I grew up near Chicago,
• 21:29 in an Orthodox Synagogue,
• 21:31 and I loved growing up Jewish.
• 21:34 My dad was the president of the Synagogue.
• 21:36 And it was not only our religious life
• 21:39 but our whole cultural and social life
• 21:41 revolved around the synagogue.
• 21:44 But when I got to be high school age
• 21:48 it seemed like something was missing
• 21:51 and I didn't know what.
• 21:53 So I kinda went on a journey.
• 21:55 I got into New Age and all this...
• 21:58 When I was in the New Age
• 21:59 everybody in there with me...
• 22:01 they were all Jewish too.
• 22:02 We were seekers and so at one point I was living in Mexico.
• 22:06 I was a Hippy playing Blues Guitar in bars
• 22:10 and I had a vision.
• 22:13 I didn't know what to do.
• 22:14 I was a secret believer for 4 years.
• 22:18 During that time I just didn't know who I could talk with.
• 22:22 But after 4 years the Lord led me to a Messianic congregation.
• 22:27 And there I found I wasn't the only Jew in the world who believes.
• 22:30 There are many more.
• 22:33 Also I grew up thinking that Christians hated me.
• 22:36 Cause I grew up with the stories
• 22:37 of the Holocaust and so forth.
• 22:39 And so, what did I know?
• 22:42 And I found out in this congregation
• 22:44 there were many Christians who
• 22:46 loved the Jewish people.
• 22:48 And that made such an impression on me
• 22:51 that I went through a healing and a deliverance
• 22:53 in that congregation.
• 22:56 Tell us a little bit about
• 22:57 your music and how God inspires you with your music.
• 23:00 Aahh, okay.
• 23:03 The inspiration usually comes
• 23:05 when I'm driving or in dreams.
• 23:09 I get a lot of them that way.
• 23:11 Or, just in the course of my daily reading of the Bible.
• 23:15 But the Lord has opened so many doors through the music
• 23:19 to be able to share our faith in Messiah
• 23:22 and just to be able to sing
• 23:25 hope and peace and blessings over our people.
• 23:28 And that's a privilege.
• 23:30 Carolyn, we would love you to tell our viewers
• 23:32 exactly how they can pray for you at this time.
• 23:35 Could you look right in the camera and tell our viewers
• 23:38 what would mean the most to you.
• 23:40 Okay, well not just about me
• 23:42 but about the Body of Messiah here in Israel.
• 23:45 Because I'm a team player.
• 23:48 And I would just like to say
• 23:50 Thank you for praying for us,
• 23:53 the "Remnant" of Israel.
• 23:55 We believe that we are here for "such a time as this",
• 23:59 that the Lord has planted us in the Land.
• 24:02 And that we are Jewish Believers.
• 24:04 And like, my husband is not Jewish but it doesn't matter.
• 24:07 We're "One New Man" in Messiah
• 24:09 working together to bring hope,
• 24:14 the hope of Israel,
• 24:15 the Holy One of Israel to our people.
• 24:18 And, yes, we're having persecution.
• 24:20 Yes, there are things that are not going well.
• 24:22 But it's your prayers that are making a difference
• 24:26 for us to be able to stay in the Land,
• 24:28 to be able to minister in the Land
• 24:30 and to be able to give Glory to G-d, The G-d of Israel
• 24:34 in His Land.
• 24:36 So "Thank you", "Toda Rabah".

• 25:27 Watching Carolyn's interview and listening to her words,
• 25:30 I have to be honest.
• 25:32 My heart absolutely breaks to think that
• 25:36 she lives so many years of her life
• 25:38 thinking and believing that Christians hated her.
• 25:43 How are we at this point in history
• 25:47 still dealing with that kind of hate?
• 25:51 I feel like you and I have lived
• 25:53 sheltered lives as Christians.
• 25:56 I had no idea that people like Carolyn and so many others,
• 26:00 thousands of others,
• 26:02 have this feeling about Christians.
• 26:04 And our prayer on this program
• 26:06 is that they would have a glimpse,
• 26:09 you would have a glimpse
• 26:10 of how much we as Christians
• 26:12 love our Jewish brothers and sisters
• 26:14 and care for them.
• 26:15 Well that was Zola's heart
• 26:17 Yes
• 26:18 to start this whole ministry
• 26:20 to bring Christianity through Jewish eyes,
• 26:24 to connect the Gentiles and the Jewish nation,
• 26:29 believers in Yeshua also.
• 26:32 That we wouldn't have hate
• 26:34 even though it's prophesied.
• 26:37 Can you imagine being a Jewish Believer
• 26:40 knowing that the prophecies in the Bible are saying,
• 26:44 they're gonna hate ya.
• 26:46 But God's Love can override that hate.
• 26:49 And that's part of our responsibility
• 26:51 as Gentile Believers in Yeshua HaMashiach.
• 26:56 He is the Messiah
• 26:57 for Gentile Christian Believers,
• 26:59 the Jewish People,
• 27:01 and also the Jewish Believers in Yeshua.
• 27:03 That's right
• 27:04 it is all a part of prophecy.
• 27:06 So we have to just understand that
• 27:08 and believe in that.
• 27:09 And, love, love, love.
• 27:11 Yes
• 27:11 above all else.
• 27:12 That's right.
• 27:13 Thank you so much for joining us again today.
• 27:15 And we look forward to being with you next week.
• 27:17 Sha'alu Shalom Yerushalayim
• 27:20 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
