Caption transcript for Divine Deliverance: “Isaiah” (8/12)

• 00:01 Jeffrey Seif: I was walking down the street one day
• 00:03 and a guy showed me the prophet Isaiah in the Bible.
• 00:07 The rest is history.
• 00:09 Transformed my life and now we're looking at divine
• 00:12 deliverance in general and Isaiah in particular.
• 00:17 ♪♪♪
• 00:22 male announcer: From the beginning, our Creator revealed
• 00:26 his will to the common man.
• 00:28 Individuals listened to his call and responded in obedience.
• 00:34 From the first Hebrew Avraham to the culmination of salvation
• 00:38 in Messiah himself, the Lord faithfully intervenes
• 00:43 with his divine deliverance.

• 00:55 David Hart: We're so glad you've joined us today
• 00:56 on "Zola Levitt Presents" I'm David Hart.
• 00:58 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart.
• 00:59 Jeffrey: Jeffrey Seif.
• 01:01 Kirsten: We are in our series, "Divine Deliverance,"
• 01:02 and today is all about the prophet Isaiah.
• 01:05 I grew up in a musical home.
• 01:06 My parents were ministers of music.
• 01:08 We sang the Messiah every single year so we know his words
• 01:12 but we don't know a lot about the man Isaiah himself.
• 01:17 If I'm not wrong, he foretold about Messiah
• 01:20 more than any other prophet in the Old Testament?
• 01:22 Jeffrey: Yes, he's not only a major prophet in song;
• 01:25 he's, like, major quoted in the New Testament.
• 01:29 It's worth having a look at the book and learning about Isaiah.
• 01:32 Kirsten: Good, we'll do that today.
• 01:33 David: Right now, let's go to our dramatic reenactment and
• 01:35 hear more about Isaiah's fantastic story.
• 01:40 male: He is despised and rejected of men, wounded for our
• 01:46 transgressions and bruised for our iniquities.
• 01:52 He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter.
• 01:57 Written 700 years before Christ, Isaiah knew
• 02:01 that this prophetic Scripture would one day be fulfilled
• 02:04 in the Lamb of God, Jesus.
• 02:11 Jeffrey: New Testament authors got a lot of utility
• 02:14 out of the prophet Isaiah.
• 02:17 He is the most quoted of all the Older Testament prophets
• 02:21 in the Newer Testament.
• 02:23 Speaking of Isaiah and utility, more Jewish people have come to
• 02:27 believe in Jesus through a reading of Isaiah 53 than any
• 02:31 other passage because it's so explicit in connecting the dots
• 02:36 between salvation as it's depicted in the Older Testament
• 02:41 and fulfilled in the Newer.
• 02:44 Isaiah's very popular among some but not all.
• 02:49 In fact, in his own day and time,
• 02:52 Isaiah was killed by Manasseh, an Israelite king.
• 02:56 He didn't like him. He cut him in two.
• 02:59 The author of Hebrews says in his Hall of Fame chapter,
• 03:04 you know, the greats in the 11th chapter of Hebrews,
• 03:07 he speaks of some who were, quote, "sawn in two."
• 03:11 That's a reference to Isaiah.
• 03:13 They didn't saw him in two this way; they started down here
• 03:16 and sawed him in two that way.
• 03:18 And they've been sawing Isaiah in two ever since.
• 03:21 You know, some people think there wasn't an Isaiah,
• 03:23 there's two or three Isaiahs; that the book that we look at
• 03:26 and call Isaiah is a composite of a few writers.
• 03:30 Well, my purpose here isn't to get into that as much as it is
• 03:35 to look to the particulars of the writing itself.
• 03:39 I want you to fasten your seatbelt because when we take a
• 03:42 look at this book, we're going into the very guts
• 03:45 of deliverance as it is told and foretold in the Hebrew Bible
• 03:51 and fulfilled in the New.
• 03:53 I want you to take a look with me with an open heart,
• 03:56 with an open mind, and see what you find.
• 03:59 You might find a gateway to heaven,
• 04:02 a passageway to a brand new life.
• 04:08 male: "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of
• 04:11 sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our
• 04:15 faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
• 04:19 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we
• 04:23 did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
• 04:27 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised
• 04:30 for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace
• 04:33 was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
• 04:39 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one
• 04:43 to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him
• 04:46 the iniquity of us all.
• 04:48 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his
• 04:53 mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep
• 04:57 before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
• 05:02 He was numbered with the transgressors;
• 05:04 and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession
• 05:07 for the transgressors."
• 05:14 Jeffrey: This is an English Bible.
• 05:17 It was written first in Hebrew and when Isaiah wrote this,
• 05:23 that is the Hebrew text, that's just a facsimile of it, he said,
• 05:26 [speaking foreign language]
• 05:30 translated in 53:6: "We all like sheep have gone astray."
• 05:38 And to my way of thinking, in those words,
• 05:42 just three in the Hebrew, in those words,
• 05:45 it kinda says it all.
• 05:49 People see that waywardness in dealing with others
• 05:52 in the webs of relationships.
• 05:55 People see that wayward proclivity, that tendency, just
• 06:00 when they open up and read the Bible, the very first pages,
• 06:03 for the very first time.
• 06:06 There's a verse in Job, it says that "man tends toward evil
• 06:11 like the sparks fly upward."
• 06:13 There's just this proclivity, this inclination.
• 06:17 Not that I should joke about it, but I think of the Lord's Prayer
• 06:20 saying--when they said, "How should we pray?"
• 06:23 He said, "Pray like this," you know, "Our Father," et cetera,
• 06:26 "lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil,"
• 06:30 or from the evil one.
• 06:31 Relative to the phrase, "Lead us not into temptation,"
• 06:34 I've often said, "Yeah, for that we don't need leadership;
• 06:38 we can find it all by ourselves."
• 06:42 The question is can we find some help for the inner world
• 06:47 that tends to go bad?
• 06:49 This author says so and his name says it all.
• 06:54 In fact, Isaiah, as we know him as, wasn't even employed until
• 06:59 the protestant reformation and that began--the historic date
• 07:03 is October 31, 1517.
• 07:06 His name, Yasha, in Hebrew means to save.
• 07:11 And Yasha Yahuah or Isaiah really means,
• 07:16 in effect, God saves.
• 07:19 The question isn't whether he does it;
• 07:22 the question is how does he do it?
• 07:25 Now, in this series and we've just kind of passed midway,
• 07:29 we've looked at deliverance in the literature.
• 07:34 Here, right around the middle of it, there's a wonderful
• 07:38 unpacking of the particulars of it, that is, the ultimate
• 07:42 deliverance in the person of the ultimate Deliverer.
• 07:48 What does he do with the problem of "All we like sheep
• 07:52 have gone astray"?
• 07:53 Listen, I can unpack human waywardness.
• 07:56 I don't think it needs a lot of telling.
• 07:59 I can do that just 'cause I've lived for 63 years, I can do it
• 08:02 because I have 20 years in a police uniform with all that.
• 08:05 Believe me, I've seen it.
• 08:07 But I don't need to tell you about it
• 08:08 because you've seen it too.
• 08:10 The question is, is there a way to turn the ship around?
• 08:16 Is there deliverance?
• 08:17 And the answer is yes.
• 08:21 It says in Isaiah chapter 52, verse 13
• 08:26 speaks about this servant who's coming.
• 08:29 In chapter 53, verse 1, he says,
• 08:31 "And ain't no one gonna believe this."
• 08:34 In fact, we're told--there's a question that's asked
• 08:37 rhetorically, "Who's gonna believe this report?
• 08:39 And to whom will the arm of the Lord, the strength of the Lord,
• 08:43 be revealed?"
• 08:45 Goes on to talk in a very singular form,
• 08:50 "For he," third person masculine singular, he.
• 08:55 "He grew up.
• 08:58 He had no form of comeliness, no majesty that we should
• 09:01 look at him, no beauty that we should desire him."
• 09:06 There's the depiction here of God's servant,
• 09:08 the ultimate deliverer.
• 09:10 We're told as well, and the author gets very explicit,
• 09:14 that "he was despised and rejected by men.
• 09:19 That he was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief."
• 09:23 Now, I'll tell you, at 63 years of living I have been acquainted
• 09:26 with more than one sorrow and some grief.
• 09:29 If you spend any time on this planet, you know,
• 09:31 if you lift your shirt up
• 09:33 there's lots of wound marks there.
• 09:35 And that's for men and women alike.
• 09:37 You just don't go through living experience unscathed.
• 09:40 Now, we have sorrows, but it's not quite like this.
• 09:44 This person that's described particularly is a man that's
• 09:48 characterized by sorrows and grief and rejection, he goes on
• 09:52 to note, "one from whom people hide their faces."
• 09:58 There's a kind of disengagement from him,
• 10:02 folk wanting to know nothing about him.
• 10:05 And even church folk, you know, there's 168 hours in a week, it
• 10:08 seems at best we can handle 2 hours of being engaged by Jesus
• 10:12 and then we're kind of going down the road of life.
• 10:14 Well, I think it's best to open up the Bible, not just on--when
• 10:17 we go to a worship service but to make it a habit.
• 10:21 We're told this deliverer, the servant of the Lord,
• 10:24 is eschewed, he's pushed to the margins.
• 10:28 We're told that "he was despised," again,
• 10:31 "and we didn't esteem him."
• 10:33 That is, he's lowly esteemed.
• 10:35 Certainly in his day and time, he wasn't particularly
• 10:39 respected, and that's particularly noteworthy in the
• 10:42 way he was graphically decimated before his death.
• 10:46 We're told in verse 4, however, that with all that,
• 10:49 that this person "has borne our griefs and that he has
• 10:54 carried our sorrows, our pains.
• 10:58 And that we esteemed him stricken by God, and afflicted."
• 11:03 Now, it's interesting, the notion that Jesus died
• 11:08 for our sins.
• 11:10 Sounds so very Christian. Jesus died for our sins.
• 11:14 Jews can say, "Hocus pocus, I don't buy that.
• 11:16 I'm Jewish."
• 11:17 The description of the ultimate deliverer here,
• 11:20 it says that he was "stricken for our transgressions.
• 11:24 He was pierced because of our transgressions," specifically,
• 11:28 "crushed for our iniquities."
• 11:31 Now, the Christian expression that he died for your sins
• 11:36 isn't really a Christian expression.
• 11:41 At the outset, I'd noted that this text gets a lot of utility
• 11:46 in modernity amongst Jewish women and men, folk like me
• 11:50 who initially were predisposed to look at the Jesus story
• 11:53 as a Gentile story, but this gives pause.
• 11:56 We go, "Wait a minute.
• 11:59 Who is this person that's being described?
• 12:03 Could it really be that Jesus is the Messiah?
• 12:09 Can it really be that he's the solution?"
• 12:13 Because the prophet goes on to say in verse 5:
• 12:17 "The chastisement for our shalom, for our peace,
• 12:20 was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
• 12:28 announcer: Our offer on this program,
• 12:30 our eight-part "Isaiah" series on two DVDs.
• 12:34 The prophetic words of Isaiah unfold in dramatic fashion
• 12:37 as we chronicle their ultimate fulfillment in Jesus,
• 12:40 the Messiah, his rejection, condemnation, death,
• 12:44 and resurrection, all foretold hundreds of years
• 12:47 before the Lord's ministry on earth.
• 12:49 A great witnessing tool.
• 12:51 This series is certain to enlighten those
• 12:54 who are searching for more about God's prophetic Word.
• 12:57 The gospel according to Isaiah with Dr. Jeffrey Seif.
• 13:02 announcer: Our Creator chose certain places on the planet
• 13:05 to reveal himself and his message of redemption to us.
• 13:10 Mount Sinai, Moriah, Olives, the Mount of Beatitudes, as well as
• 13:14 various seas, rivers, and deserts, these were the places.
• 13:19 Some are now only ruins yet they continue
• 13:22 to tell of the Lord's faithfulness and love.
• 13:26 These sacred backdrops have been beautifully captured
• 13:29 in our resource.
• 13:31 This week, the book, "Heaven and Earth:
• 13:34 Landmarks of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation."
• 13:39 Our producer and director, Ken Berg, has assembled some of his
• 13:42 favorite photographs taken during his four decades
• 13:47 of travel through the lands of the Bible.
• 13:51 Contact us and ask for the book, "Heaven and Earth."
• 13:57 Andrea Davis: Hello, my name is Andrea Davis and I've been
• 14:00 working with Zola Levitt Ministries for over 20 years.
• 14:04 For me, this is not just a career; it's a calling.

• 14:16 informative anointed television from Israel.

• 14:30 donations, keep this program on the air but also we have two
• 14:34 publications that we send to thousands every month,
• 14:37 a Levitt Letter, and the personal letter.

• 14:44 to thousands and thousands around the world.
• 14:46 So thank you to Dara Bar for everything that you do to keep
• 14:49 us alive and on the air.
• 14:52 Now, let's go back to the words of Isaiah and more teaching
• 14:56 from Dr. Jeffrey Seif.
• 14:59 male: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because the Lord
• 15:03 hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath
• 15:07 sent me to bind up the broken one, to proclaim liberty to the
• 15:11 captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
• 15:16 to give unto them beauty for ashes, the garment of praise
• 15:20 for the spirit of heaviness."
• 15:25 Jeffrey: "All we like sheep have gone astray."
• 15:29 So I'd said previously, I don't need to talk
• 15:31 about that in great measure.
• 15:32 We know what that is.
• 15:37 What we don't know is how to get out of it.
• 15:41 People know how to get bound up and jammed up and they find
• 15:45 themselves pinned by sin and circumstance and the
• 15:50 million-dollar question is, "Is there a way to fix this?"
• 15:55 Well, Isaiah spoke about a deliverer who came.
• 16:00 He was despised and rejected and he facilitates a great healing.
• 16:05 He goes on to say, then, that "we like sheep have gone astray;
• 16:08 and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
• 16:11 In Isaiah 61, there's another story,
• 16:14 one that's worth having a look at.
• 16:17 What a great story it is.
• 16:20 Isaiah chapter 61, verse 1: "The Ruach of Adonai Elohim
• 16:25 is upon me, the Spirit of the Lord God is on me."
• 16:28 And even there, when Jews hear about the Spirit,
• 16:30 "Well, that's just Trinitarian Catholic stuff, you know,
• 16:33 the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
• 16:35 Well, that's just Pentecostal talk."
• 16:38 The Spirit is in the Hebrew Bible.
• 16:41 It starts off, the first breath in Genesis, "The Ruach Elohim
• 16:45 [speaking foreign language]
• 16:47 the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters
• 16:51 to deliver from chaos and darkness."
• 16:54 Well, here, the Spirit is employed on me a personality
• 17:01 because, according to the text, "Adonai has anointed me,"
• 17:07 to do what?
• 17:09 "To proclaim the good news."
• 17:14 "Oh, those Christians talk about good news.
• 17:15 That's Christian talk."
• 17:17 The word "gospel," by the way, comes from good news.
• 17:19 "Oh, that's just Christian talk,
• 17:21 that's Jesus talk, we're Jewish."
• 17:23 The anointed one proclaims.
• 17:25 The word in Hebrew is basea here.
• 17:29 In fact, Jews in Hebrew refer to the New Testament
• 17:31 as the besorah, that is to say, it's the good news.
• 17:36 It comes from--there's the word "bashar" in Hebrew for flesh.
• 17:40 It's the substance of it, it's the essence of it.
• 17:44 And there's an understanding that the words in the Hebrew
• 17:48 Bible become flesh and take on form.
• 17:52 It's incarnated.
• 17:54 The word "incarnation," Latin, "carne," flesh, meat, the beef,
• 18:01 the essence, the substance, that this servant of the Lord
• 18:05 who's anointed by the Spirit of the Lord proclaims good news.
• 18:11 To who? To the poor.
• 18:16 We open up the New Testament and Jesus said,
• 18:18 "Blessed are the poor for theirs is the kingdom," et cetera.
• 18:21 That just sounds like, you know, the Beatitudes so I guess--no,
• 18:24 it comes from the Hebrew Bible.
• 18:27 "To proclaim liberty to the captives."
• 18:32 Now, not to mix vocations but when I think of prisoners
• 18:36 and captives, I got 20 years in a police uniform.
• 18:40 I've taken more than one person to jail.
• 18:43 People do--they commit the crime, they do time,
• 18:46 and they're jammed up.
• 18:47 There's a lot of people that aren't in jail who are in jail.
• 18:51 "What do you mean by that?"
• 18:53 Captive to sin and circumstance.
• 18:56 Sins bested by the darker side of your own nature.
• 19:00 A life that's out of control, drugs, alcohol,
• 19:03 various addictions and fixations
• 19:06 that you can't get the better of.
• 19:07 It's gotten the better of you and diminished you,
• 19:10 your life, your circumstance.
• 19:12 It's depleting your money, it's depleting your relationship with
• 19:15 others, it's depleting your self-confidence,
• 19:18 it's rendering you in a hole somewhere.
• 19:19 The question is, is there a way to fix that?
• 19:24 That's what this series is all about.
• 19:27 It's all about deliverance.
• 19:31 Here, this author speaks of the Spirit of the Lord is upon me to
• 19:34 bring good news and, by the way, what I'm reading you in the
• 19:39 Hebrew Bible is noted specifically in the Gospel of
• 19:43 Luke, chapter 6, verses--excuse me, chapter 4, verses 18 and 19.
• 19:48 Therein, Yeshua goes in the synagogue and tells the very
• 19:53 same story and he says, "Guess what,
• 19:56 ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls?
• 19:58 This is talking about me."
• 20:03 I don't wanna just talk about him.
• 20:04 I do. I wanna talk about you.
• 20:06 It says here, this person "comes to proclaim liberty to the
• 20:10 captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound."
• 20:19 You know, I've heard it said and you've heard it and believe it,
• 20:21 I'd imagine, to a certain degree as people say,
• 20:24 "Well, you know, preachers make people feel guilty.
• 20:27 I go to that church or that congregation.
• 20:30 Guy always makes me feel guilty."
• 20:31 Listen, I don't think preachers should be all about helping to
• 20:37 make people feel guilty, and the reason why is people don't need
• 20:41 a whole lot of help with that.
• 20:44 When it comes to guilt, I think people can find it
• 20:48 all by themselves.
• 20:50 What people can't find by themselves is good news.
• 20:54 That's why "Zola Levitt Presents" exists, to bring good
• 20:58 news through the eyes of the Jews and those that support us
• 21:01 sacrificially do so because they find value in it.
• 21:07 They find value in the one
• 21:09 who gave himself sacrificially for us.
• 21:12 It's the mystery of the ages, it's salvation in the ages--from
• 21:16 the ages, that's buried in biblical pages.
• 21:20 And we bring it to light.
• 21:22 I hope the light has shined on you and that you're minded to
• 21:28 take some steps and do something with it.
• 21:34 David: This series is all about heroes and we've already
• 21:37 shared with you many heroes but today I think Isaiah, as we
• 21:41 learn more about Isaiah, really has meaning, powerful meaning,
• 21:45 in your life.
• 21:47 Jeffrey: Yes, he's definitely in the Hall of Fame of Bible
• 21:49 noteworthies.
• 21:51 In my own life, as a young guy walking down the street,
• 21:54 a guy comes up and he wants to talk to me about Jesus.
• 21:56 And I told him I was Jewish and, you know, we just conversated a
• 22:00 little bit and he opens up the Older Testament to the prophet
• 22:04 Isaiah and starts directing me to text, and I was amazed.
• 22:08 The 53rd chapter was the chapter and it reads so much like a
• 22:12 New Testament story I couldn't believe it belonged to the Old
• 22:15 Testament body of literature, the Old Testament corpus.
• 22:18 And the Lord used that to really get a hold of my heart and draw
• 22:23 me in and in no time I'm praying with this guy who's persistent,
• 22:28 asking the Lord into my heart and just a whole new world
• 22:33 opened up for me.
• 22:34 I never thought it would evolve all this way, with me being in
• 22:36 ministry, but I really was transformed through the process.
• 22:39 And Isaiah was the gateway, the portal, into that new world,
• 22:44 reading that prophet.
• 22:45 Kristen: Because--so you're reading Old Testament
• 22:48 which you knew so what was the trigger
• 22:52 in your Jewish heart that changed--?
• 22:54 Jeffrey: I wasn't as Old Testament literate--I wasn't
• 22:57 as literate as someone might think.
• 22:59 What I knew about Isaiah wasn't the content.
• 23:01 I knew that he belonged in the Old Testament world and what was
• 23:04 fascinating to me was to read him for the first time,
• 23:08 actually, or to have him read to me.
• 23:10 Someone had to show me.
• 23:13 And in the 53rd chapter, it gives voice to this personality
• 23:16 who springs up out of nowhere, who's despised and rejected,
• 23:20 who winds up being an offering for humankind's sins.
• 23:24 It is so explicit, it's not tacit, it's not just inferred,
• 23:29 it is so explicit it had this wow moment.
• 23:32 And for me, it was powerful.
• 23:34 I never thought there was anything in the Jewish Bible
• 23:37 that echoed the Christian story.
• 23:39 I didn't know that Jesus was--that the Jesus story
• 23:42 was a Jewish story.
• 23:43 I didn't know it back then.
• 23:45 Kristen: So we in the church that want to reach Jewish
• 23:48 people, first of all, you know, his name wasn't Jesus.
• 23:51 It's always, "You need to believe in Jesus."
• 23:53 I think we, as a church, kind of feel like that you should
• 23:56 believe in him but is Isaiah something that believers can
• 24:02 read to help open up Jewish eyes to Messiah?
• 24:06 Jeffrey: Well, I think that we'd do well to read the Bible
• 24:08 to open our own inner eyes up and then share
• 24:11 what we see with others.
• 24:13 People wonder is there a certain trick, you know,
• 24:15 this Old Testament text, read this and say that and,
• 24:17 presto, you'll hit pay dirt with Jews.
• 24:19 I think if we just care to share, we're gonna hit pay dirt
• 24:23 whether we know the right words or not.
• 24:25 But I do know that Isaiah 53 is a home run hitting text
• 24:31 at the end of the day.
• 24:32 Kristen: Well, we're--I'm personally thankful
• 24:34 for Isaiah's word, that word got into your life.
• 24:38 David: Right, for that guy that shared with you that day.
• 24:40 Kristen: Right, and you're where you are today.
• 24:42 David: That's amazing. We'll be right back.
