 - 01:13 David Hart: Thank you so much for joining us today.
 - 01:15 I am David Hart.
 - 01:16 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart. Jeffrey Seif: I am Jeffrey Seif.
 - 01:18 And we are at one of the more
 - 01:20 famous Biblical sites today, yes?
 - 01:23 Kirsten: Tel Megiddo, another ancient Tel, right?
 - 01:27 Civilization, civilization, civilization.
 - 01:30 Jeffrey: Yes, known more popularly in modern culture
 - 01:33 as Armageddon.
 - 01:37 Megiddo, fascinating, you know, the end of the world,
 - 01:40 great battles, lots of layers of former battles,
 - 01:43 one big one coming, yes.
 - 01:45 Kirsten: Battles for that land, but today we're talking
 - 01:47 about the fact that that covenant was--that land was
 - 01:51 a covenant promise forever.
 - 01:54 So, regardless, right, of whatever battles come,
 - 01:57 God's gonna give that land to his people?
 - 02:00 Jeffrey: You know, it's like life's not without a struggle at
 - 02:02 the end of the day, you know, God gives it, but it's not
 - 02:04 a walk in the park.
 - 02:06 You have to contend for what he's given sometimes.
 - 02:07 Kirsten: And King David had to content for that too.
 - 02:10 Jeffrey: Yeah, they all did, we all do, you know,
 - 02:11 them and us to tell you the truth.
 - 02:13 Some people say, "Oh, look, life's not a struggle, just, you
 - 02:16 know, just listen to my speech and everything's gonna be great.
 - 02:19 Well, no, you know, even with the word of faith and I possess
 - 02:23 it, faith gets you through the challenges of the day,
 - 02:28 it's not a detour around it all.
 - 02:31 It is a struggle.
 - 02:32 David: We're gonna show you just a glimpse of the battles
 - 02:34 that King David fought for the promised land, and also, we're
 - 02:38 gonna take you to Doctor Sief's teaching at ancient Megiddo.
 - 02:45 narrator: King David sits on his throne, knowing full well
 - 02:48 that his kingdom had not come easily,
 - 02:51 except by the strength of the Lord.
 - 02:54 And it came to pass that David smote
 - 02:56 the Philistines and subdued them.
 - 02:59 And he smote Moab, and he slew the Syrians, two and twenty
 - 03:04 thousand men, and all they of Edom became David's
 - 03:09 servants, and the Lord preserved David withersoever he went.
 - 03:15 And David reigned over all Israel, and David executed
 - 03:19 judgement, and justice, unto all his people.
 - 03:23 And David's sons were chief rulers.
 - 03:31 Jeffrey: The Bible speaks of wars and rumor of wars,
 - 03:34 but for David it was more than just a rumor, 'cause he forged
 - 03:37 out a kingdom by dint of his determination, and with God's
 - 03:41 help of course, him being the anointed one of God.
 - 03:45 Well, right here, Armageddon, his son Solomon learned
 - 03:49 about that and more.
 - 03:51 Come with me now, as we go off to Armageddon.
 - 03:58 ♪♪♪
 - 04:08 ♪♪♪
 - 04:18 ♪♪♪
 - 04:29 Jeffrey: David carved it out, Solomon solidified it,
 - 04:34 to what exactly am I referring?
 - 04:38 Let me show you.
 - 04:44 Solomon's kingdom, something of a vast expanse,
 - 04:50 Megiddo is something at the heartland of it.
 - 04:52 He had to fortify, defend, and use this to hold off invading
 - 04:57 forces from the north and from the east,
 - 05:00 and to Megiddo we'll go.
 - 05:23 It's called the promised land, and the reason why it's called
 - 05:27 the promised land is God promised that land,
 - 05:31 and he promised it to a particular people
 - 05:34 who were destined to make a bid at a particular place.
 - 05:39 And if you're gonna fight to secure a toehold in a region,
 - 05:43 you're gonna need space to fight from, hence Megiddo here,
 - 05:46 Armageddon, a chariot city among other things, a place that has
 - 05:52 been a sanctuary for many a king, as evidenced by layer upon
 - 05:57 layer that harks to kings that came here, secured,
 - 06:01 resecured, and developed this piece of land.
 - 06:06 This piece of land is a fascinating piece, by the way.
 - 06:09 It extends on the one hand over toward Egypt.
 - 06:13 This promised land then extends upward towards the Euphrates,
 - 06:16 and it extends eastward by the way,
 - 06:18 beyond what we call the Jordan River today.
 - 06:22 It's a piece of land that was given to a particular person
 - 06:25 as I noted a minute ago, a promised land.
 - 06:29 Oh, it's one thing to say that it's mine, it's another thing
 - 06:32 to hold off belligerents that are minded to say
 - 06:34 that's not the case.
 - 06:36 And that tension, that back and forth has been the
 - 06:38 story of the ages, which is why, by the way, when you look with
 - 06:42 me in the Book of Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, chapter 9, verse 25,
 - 06:47 we're told that Solomon, who, under his administration the
 - 06:51 kingdom really was expanded, it had diminished some afterward.
 - 06:54 Under his administration, we speak here of thousands
 - 06:58 of stalls for horses, for chariots, and that Solomon,
 - 07:02 who will participate in what we call chariot cities here in the
 - 07:06 Biblical text, and why is that, because from cities like this,
 - 07:10 and along roads like this, forces had to go out to protect
 - 07:14 the world from belligerents, and Solomon did that during
 - 07:17 his administration certainly.
 - 07:20 We're told that, fortified as he was and strengthened as he was
 - 07:25 by certain outpost cities like this, we're told that Solomon
 - 07:27 reigned, in verse 26, over all the kings from the river,
 - 07:34 and the river here is harking to the Euphrates River.
 - 07:38 The word Ebrew, or Hebrew, means beyond the river, and the
 - 07:42 ancestors came from beyond the river and secured a place here
 - 07:47 that was bequeathed by God in the land of Kena'an, Canaan.
 - 07:51 And here we're told that the reign of Shelomoh, of Solomon,
 - 07:54 extended up to the river on the northern eastern front,
 - 07:59 to the land of the Plistim, the Philistines, and this harks,
 - 08:04 by the way, to the areas that run along the sea,
 - 08:08 where there were some major cities there.
 - 08:10 Gath is made familiar because of Goliath,
 - 08:13 Ashkelon, Ahdod, and others.
 - 08:15 The Plistim never had sway over this whole region,
 - 08:18 but they did have a toehold of it,
 - 08:20 but here the chronicler wants to say, on the one hand,
 - 08:23 the kingdom extended up to the Euphrates,
 - 08:26 and then in Canaan proper the coastland areas,
 - 08:29 what he calls, where the Plistim reign, and then
 - 08:32 he notes as well, as far as the border of Egypt.
 - 08:36 There's a river there that demarcates the border, and it
 - 08:40 shows something of an expanded kingdom, a kingdom that God gave
 - 08:45 to particular people, of Abraham, whom Lord said,
 - 08:49 "Come with me on a journey to a land that I will show you," and
 - 08:53 Abraham rolled the dice against an uncertain future, and he came
 - 08:57 and walked this land, and now some centuries later, now, I
 - 09:02 mean I'm harkening back to Solomon's era, many things have
 - 09:05 happened since, but we see the story of God watching over his
 - 09:09 word to perform it as a certain people struggle against sins in
 - 09:14 their own persons, against circumstances that impose upon
 - 09:17 them, difficulties, struggles, trials and all, God watches over
 - 09:22 his word to perform it, to give this land to a people, and to
 - 09:29 secure his people in his land as a testimony to his greatness,
 - 09:35 greatness that extended to the past, to the present, and will
 - 09:40 be known the more so in the future, as we consider the
 - 09:44 testimony of God at work in the world, here, the Eretz Israel,
 - 09:49 in the land of Israel.

 - 12:13 announcer: For your free brochure on our next tour
 - 12:15 to Israel, call 1-800-WONDERS.
 - 12:21 David: Just about every time we return from a tour to
 - 12:23 Israel, people ask us here what is the highlight of your tour,
 - 12:28 and that's always so hard to say, but I would say food in
 - 12:31 Israel is a highlight, and I know you love the falafel there.
 - 12:36 Kirsten: I love falafel, I love the chicken shawarma
 - 12:41 and schnitzel, and I just have to let you know, Megiddo, where
 - 12:44 Jeff was just teaching, that's our first stop on our first day
 - 12:48 of tour, and you have a choice, don't we, we have a choice
 - 12:52 of two things for lunch, and we eat at Megiddo,
 - 12:55 you get to eat lunch at Megiddo.
 - 12:56 Schnitzel and falafel.
 - 12:58 David: Very Israeli.
 - 12:59 Kirsten: Oh, it's good stuff.
 - 13:01 David: Do you like it?
 - 13:02 Jeffrey: Falafel, I love it.
 - 13:04 I had my first falafel in Brooklyn, many, many years ago,
 - 13:05 and I fell in love with it then.
 - 13:07 It is the Jewish sandwich.
 - 13:09 Kirsten: Right, it is beans, chickpeas that are deep fried,
 - 13:13 and it's the most amazing sandwich in the world.
 - 13:15 It's a must.
 - 13:17 Jeffrey: It's great, yeah.
 - 13:18 Kirsten: It's an Israeli must to eat, and I just want you to
 - 13:21 know an Israeli must for us as a ministry is to support the
 - 13:25 people in the land, and when you donate to our program you also
 - 13:30 donate to a ministry called Zola Levitt Ministries, and we, I
 - 13:34 wanna say the word if you don't mind, pump money into Israel
 - 13:39 through the people in the land.
 - 13:41 We donate to many ministries.
 - 13:43 Jeffrey: Yeah, and I think that's one of the distinctives
 - 13:47 of this television program, of the ministry, of the trip to
 - 13:51 Israel with you guys, and that is a lot of people go, they take
 - 13:55 a church tour to where Jesus walked, but they walk right past
 - 14:00 the modern Jewish state and look right past the Jewish people.
 - 14:05 And I get it, I don't wanna take anything away from inspiration
 - 14:08 that comes from experiencing Biblical moments by visiting the
 - 14:13 sites, but it bothers me that people don't see the Jewish
 - 14:17 people, the Jewish circumstance, the Jewish plight, and the kind
 - 14:21 of people that go with us, the kind of people that watch this
 - 14:24 program, people like you, you care about the Jewish people,
 - 14:29 you don't just look past us, and I wanna thank you for that.
 - 14:33 And just to reiterate, when you make a donation to this
 - 14:36 ministry, we give monies to works over in the land of
 - 14:41 Israel, it's not just filling our own coffers.
 - 14:44 We're really a conduit to bring grace to the place
 - 14:48 and help people see the Jews
 - 14:50 and the good news associated with the Jews.
 - 14:53 Kirsten: That's why we're here. Jeffrey: Yes.
 - 14:54 David: That's right, David Dolan is our journalist
 - 14:57 for this whole series.
 - 14:58 Right now he's in a bunker at the Golan Heights.
 - 15:01 Let's go there right now.
 - 15:05 Jeffrey: This is the beautiful Golan Heights in
 - 15:07 northern Israel, an important part of David and Solomon's
 - 15:11 kingdom nearly 3,000 years ago.
 - 15:14 As noted on recent programs, this land was also included in
 - 15:18 God's covenant with Moses and Joshua as an inheritance
 - 15:22 for the children of Israel.
 - 15:24 David Dolan joins us now from this strategic site where he
 - 15:28 continues his chronology of the modern state of Israel.
 - 15:33 David Dolan: I'm standing in an Israeli army bunker
 - 15:35 on the Golan Heights on one of the highest hills here.
 - 15:38 Behind me is Damascus and Syria, about 35 miles away.
 - 15:42 We'll talk more about them in a few minutes.
 - 15:45 In the early 1950s, 650,000 Jews came to this land from Arab
 - 15:50 countries, many of them kicked out in anger because the Arabs
 - 15:53 were so upset that the state of Israel had been reborn,
 - 15:57 and they settled all over the country.
 - 15:59 Meanwhile, Arab terror attacks increased.
 - 16:01 Over 1,000 Jews were killed between 1951 and '55,
 - 16:05 400 of them from the Gaza Strip.
 - 16:08 Meanwhile in Egypt, Gamal Nasser forged ties with the
 - 16:11 Soviet Union and started to receive weapons from them.
 - 16:14 He nationalized the Suez Canal, which the British had built,
 - 16:18 angering Britain very, very much.
 - 16:20 A secret plan was devised between Britain, France,
 - 16:23 and Israel, to strike at Egyptian forces
 - 16:26 in the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula,
 - 16:29 and get back the Suez Canal.
 - 16:31 On October 29, 1956, that war begun.
 - 16:34 But the United States, Dwight Eisenhower
 - 16:37 was very upset over this.
 - 16:38 He feared an East-West clash, a superpower war, and he basically
 - 16:43 ordered France and Britain to call off their forces
 - 16:46 and Israel to stop its offensive.
 - 16:48 The Israelis had gotten all the way to the Suez Canal, and in
 - 16:52 early November a ceasefire was declared, and by March
 - 16:55 the next year Israeli forces had completely withdrawn from the
 - 16:58 land they captured, the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula.
 - 17:02 In the summer of 1964, the Arab countries and the Palestinians
 - 17:05 met together in Jerusalem to form a new organization,
 - 17:08 the Palestine Liberation Organization.
 - 17:11 Yasser Arafat was the head of the largest faction.
 - 17:13 In 1965 and '66, the Syrians stepped up their attacks
 - 17:17 on the Jewish communities in the Hula Valley below
 - 17:20 from this Golan Heights.
 - 17:22 In April of 1967, they actually destroyed an entire kibbutz,
 - 17:26 kibbutz Gadot.
 - 17:28 There were air battles, there were tank battles,
 - 17:30 meanwhile down in Egypt, Nasser was vowing openly
 - 17:33 that he would destroy Israel.
 - 17:35 He ordered UN forces withdrawn from the Sinai Peninsula
 - 17:38 in May of '67.
 - 17:40 He blockaded the Israeli port of Eilat, which is an act of war,
 - 17:44 and he told the world, "We're going to attack Israel."
 - 17:47 He made alliances with Iraq, with Syria, with Jordan,
 - 17:50 with other Arab countries.
 - 17:52 The Israelis were facing forces three times as large
 - 17:54 as they had, tank forces, air forces, all supplied
 - 17:57 by the Soviet Union.
 - 17:59 They feared they would be destroyed.
 - 18:01 So, they took a decision to take the first strike in a carefully
 - 18:04 calibrated attack, they stuck the Egyptian air force in its
 - 18:08 bases, 15 locations, wiped out 90% of Egyptian air force.
 - 18:12 They did the same thing behind me here in Syria
 - 18:14 later that afternoon.
 - 18:16 Their enemies were defenseless from the air effectively,
 - 18:19 it only took two days for Israel to capture the old city of
 - 18:22 Jerusalem, and by June 10, just five days after the war began,
 - 18:26 they had captured this entire Golan Heights, the entire West
 - 18:29 Bank, and the entire Sinai Peninsula up to the Suez Canal.
 - 18:34 The Arab world was shocked by Israel's lightning victory
 - 18:36 in the Six Day War.
 - 18:38 The Soviets were humiliated, and they broke
 - 18:40 all diplomatic ties with Israel.
 - 18:42 Israel, though, offered to pull out of most of the territory
 - 18:45 it captured.
 - 18:46 The Arab leaders met in September in Khartoum and said,
 - 18:48 "No negotiations, no peace with Israel,
 - 18:51 Israel must be destroyed."
 - 18:53 Right after that a war began called the War of Attrition,
 - 18:56 the Egyptians striking Israeli forces almost every day,
 - 18:58 and hundreds of soldiers were killed until that ended
 - 19:01 in the summer of 1970.
 - 19:03 The next war would be the Yom Kippur War.
 - 19:05 This time the Arabs didn't announce it in advance, they
 - 19:08 made secret plans to strike Israel on the holiest day
 - 19:10 of its year, Yom Kippur, when most Jews are fasting,
 - 19:13 television and radio is shut down.
 - 19:16 At noon the sirens went off on October 6, 1973,
 - 19:20 signaling that another war was about to begin.
 - 19:22 Men all over the country rushed to their positions,
 - 19:24 and at 2 p.m. in the afternoon the war began.
 - 19:27 Israel this time was on the run, they were pushed off of most of
 - 19:30 this Golan Heights, they were pushed back in the Sinai
 - 19:34 almost to their borders.
 - 19:35 It was a terrible war with very high casualties, but by the
 - 19:39 second week of the war Israel was turning the tide with help
 - 19:41 from the United States.
 - 19:43 The Soviets were very unhappy with this, and on October 25
 - 19:46 they began loading their own forces into aircraft with the
 - 19:50 object of coming here, their own men on the ground
 - 19:52 to aid Syria and Egypt.
 - 19:55 The United States called a nuclear alert
 - 19:57 in response to that, and the Soviets backed down
 - 20:00 and a ceasefire was declared.
 - 20:02 But Israel lost over 2,300 soldiers in that war, with
 - 20:06 many, many more casualties, and the government of Israel,
 - 20:09 humiliated by this defeat, initial defeat at least, would
 - 20:13 later be tossed out of office, and the Likud party
 - 20:16 would rise to power.
 - 20:18 The Labor party that had ruled since 1948 would be finished.

 - 21:11 of like you're on tour.
 - 21:12 We take you to so many places on the beaten road
 - 21:16 and off the beaten road.
 - 21:17 You've been to many of those places in this series.
 - 21:19 Jeffrey: Yes, it's like going on tour, and it's like going
 - 21:21 back to college too.
 - 21:23 It's a history lesson of what's happened
 - 21:25 in this part of the world for decades
 - 21:27 and decades and decades up to the moment.

 - 21:30 What an incredible experience for you
 - 21:32 to get into some of these places.
 - 21:34 Jeffrey: Well, you know, you tour.
 - 21:37 I'm reminded of an expression when my kids were little,
 - 21:41 when I was reading books, "The Magic School Bus."
 - 21:44 You know, you hop into it, education takes you to places,
 - 21:48 you know, you read a book, and it takes you somewhere,
 - 21:50 and I've been all around Israel before
 - 21:52 I ever got there just 'cause I read the Bible,
 - 21:55 and it takes you there, both Old and New Testaments.
 - 21:58 Oh, goodness, going there and seeing it come alive and
 - 22:03 experiencing it is extremely invigorating, and it's
 - 22:08 stimulating as well when you look at the struggles associated
 - 22:12 with the rebirth of the nation.
 - 22:14 And that certainly has been covered in this series
 - 22:18 with the wars, especially with our great journalist
 - 22:22 David Dolan, but it really is all so very fascinating.
 - 22:26 David H: Some people are worried about maybe traveling
 - 22:27 there right now, watching the news, but it's peaceful.
 - 22:32 Jeffrey: Yes, people are--I think we have a default position
 - 22:36 to worry, and I mention this, that every time people go to
 - 22:40 Israel to tour, their friends and family, they're afraid
 - 22:43 they're gonna get blown up by a bomb, and they're so surprised
 - 22:46 when they get there.
 - 22:48 You know, even people that are disinclined to support Israel,
 - 22:52 my estranged Arab cousin friends, still, though they're
 - 22:56 displeased by the nation state of Israel, they still realize
 - 23:01 they derive their sustenance from it, livelihoods,
 - 23:05 so they don't want it to evaporate,
 - 23:07 because that's what's paying for homes and food and family needs.
 - 23:13 People making a living, people coming from the West Bank,
 - 23:17 coming into Israel, and making a living off the modern state.
 - 23:20 Kirsten: Explain that really quick.
 - 23:22 I understand the term, because we're talking about the land,
 - 23:25 and some people, if you're not there you might not really
 - 23:28 understand the West Bank, can you explain that really quick?
 - 23:32 It's geographical, but it's also what is happening right there.
 - 23:36 Jeffrey: Well, the West Bank of the Jordan River,
 - 23:39 there's an area there that's carved out,
 - 23:42 that's been given over to Palestinian authorities
 - 23:46 to regulate their affairs therein,
 - 23:49 inasmuch as the Gaza Strip was given over to Palestinian
 - 23:54 authorities, much as the entire Sinai Peninsula
 - 23:58 was given back to Egypt.
 - 24:00 Jewish people are game to explore what does it take
 - 24:03 to make peace, let's try this, let's try that, and what we call
 - 24:08 the West Bank, there are Jews that live in there, but
 - 24:11 principally we're looking at Palestinian Arabs,
 - 24:15 who then make their way into Israel to work with permits,
 - 24:19 and then go there at home at the end of the day.
 - 24:21 Kirsten: It's been fascinating to learn from you
 - 24:23 the history of the land.
 - 24:26 David brought a lot of World War II information about the wars
 - 24:29 and also the future, and it is so vitally important that we do
 - 24:34 what we--we literally do what we say at the end of our program,
 - 24:39 is to keep praying for the peace of Jerusalem and all of Israel.
 - 24:44 That's our calling, and it's very important, isn't it?
 - 24:47 Jeffrey: Yes, I believe so.
 - 24:48 David H: We have more to come in this series, Eretz Israel,
 - 24:51 but we always end our program with a song from our founder,
 - 24:54 Zola Levitt, and--
 - 24:56 Jeffrey: And now I'm gonna do what the lady said.
 - 24:57 Sha'alu Shalom Yerushalayim.
 - 25:00 Kirsten: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
