• 01:02 David Hart: We are so glad you've joined us today.
• 01:04 David: I'm David Hart. Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart.
• 01:06 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: And I am Jeffrey Seif.
• 01:09 And we are going on a journey into the Older Testament.
• 01:13 I remember years ago, someone opened up the Hebrew Bible and I
• 01:17 saw Jesus in it and it was a fascinating moment.
• 01:20 We want to give you some of that moment today, yes?
• 01:22 Kirsten: Right, that King David was a
• 01:23 prototype of Messiah.
• 01:26 It's interesting to connect the dots from King David
• 01:28 all the way down to Messiah.
• 01:30 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Yes, and in fact, a good part of the Newer
• 01:33 Testament just goes back and takes the
• 01:35 Older Testament texts and brings them forward.
• 01:38 And we see that at play.
• 01:40 Certainly, David is a figure in the Older Testament
• 01:43 but he emerges in the New.
• 01:44 The first breath of the New Testament in the Matthean
• 01:46 Gospel, Jesus is referenced as Ben-David, Ben-Avraham, the son
• 01:52 of David, the son of Abraham: connects him right off the bat.
• 01:54 Kirsten: Look at that, he was Jewish.
• 01:56 Who knew?
• 01:58 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Many people don't know.
• 02:00 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: People forget. Kirsten: I know.
• 02:01 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: People forget the--they don't look at
• 02:03 the good news through the eyes of the Jews.
• 02:04 Well, we're gonna get some people with Jewish eyes and
• 02:07 we're gonna look at some of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
• 02:09 Fascinating stuff.
• 02:10 David: And I think you can even go to a museum
• 02:12 today and see those scrolls, correct?
• 02:13 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Yes, and the big Isaiah scroll
• 02:15 is there as the centerpiece.
• 02:17 Fascinating.
• 02:19 David: We go now to our dramatic reenactment,
• 02:21 filmed in Israel, followed by teaching from Dr. Seif.
• 02:24 Let's go there now.

• 02:29 narrator: It was the 8th Century BC.
• 02:32 The prophet Isaiah was troubled because the kingdom
• 02:35 had become defiled by godless rulers.
• 02:39 Surrounded by the ruthless and the wicked,
• 02:42 he has a vision of a better day.
• 02:45 He writes of a coming David-like king: "And there shall come
• 02:50 forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse,
• 02:53 and a branch out of his roots.
• 02:56 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of
• 03:01 wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the
• 03:07 spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord."

• 03:22 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: You are looking at one of the most
• 03:25 fantastic finds in biblical archeology.
• 03:32 In the '40s, a Bedouin discovered scrolls that hit the
• 03:36 world by storm, and you're looking at a facsimile here.
• 03:41 Actually, I am in the Shrine of the Book, and here we're looking
• 03:46 at an ancient book, the book of Isaiah, copied by the
• 03:51 sectaries at Qumran many years ago.
• 03:56 Isaiah was a fascinating personality
• 03:59 and he's worth considering when we consider
• 04:03 David Melech Yisrael, David the king of Israel.
• 04:08 Though Isaiah himself wasn't part of David's administration,
• 04:12 actually he wished he was, and the reason why is because Isaiah
• 04:18 made his entrance onto the stage of the human drama during the
• 04:22 administration of Uzziah, a king who started off
• 04:26 good enough but a king who went bad.
• 04:30 He went south.
• 04:32 Isaiah saw his demise and it's recorded in the
• 04:35 book of Kings and the book of Chronicles.
• 04:38 Not only is it recorded, but it said as much that Isaiah was the
• 04:43 historian that talked about the demise of Judah under Uzziah's
• 04:49 ministration, and it's perhaps for that reason when Isaiah
• 04:53 began his prophetic administration,
• 04:57 he spoke to the prophetic first.
• 04:59 You can't read the first five chapters of Isaiah without your
• 05:04 toes curling in your shoes when you hear his harsh invective,
• 05:10 his diatribe, how that prophet gave voice to a world gone bad.
• 05:16 Priests, the religious, the secular,
• 05:19 everyone who was anyone was on the take.
• 05:23 And against the backdrop of that draconian introduction, the 11th
• 05:27 chapter, however, as we see here, Isaiah spoke
• 05:32 of a coming king, a David-like king.
• 05:35 We're told in chapter 11: "There'll come forth a Rod from
• 05:38 the stump of Jesse, And a Branch will grow from his roots."
• 05:44 Remember that Jesse was David's father.
• 05:47 And the Davidic house, in effect, was cut down but there
• 05:50 will, foomp, emerge from it a righteous branch, a
• 05:54 righteous one, a mashiach, a messianic character.
• 05:58 We're told here: "[speaking Hebrew] the spirit of
• 06:01 the LORD will rest upon him, The Spirit of wisdom and
• 06:05 understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, fear of the LORD.
• 06:09 His delight will be in the fear of the LORD.
• 06:12 [speaking in Hebrew]," the fear of the Lord, doesn't
• 06:14 speak of trepidation and panic as much as it does of respect.
• 06:19 And because he respects the Lord, he respects others.
• 06:24 Isaiah was chagrined and why is that?
• 06:26 Because the kingdom was vitiated, it was defiled,
• 06:30 beneath the hands of godless rulers.
• 06:32 He says in 10:2: "They robbed the needy of justice,
• 06:37 they take what is right from the poor of
• 06:40 My people, the widows are their prey."
• 06:44 He goes on in the 10th chapter, verse 2 and 12, he says that
• 06:47 people are robbed of their treasuries, again like our world
• 06:51 where the wicked take advantage of the weaker.
• 06:55 Isaiah sees a Davidic-like leader who reemerges, even
• 06:59 centuries after David, and this is this messianic personality.
• 07:04 We're told here that his delight will be in the fear
• 07:06 of the Lord and he will rule with justice
• 07:09 and equity and fairness and goodness.
• 07:11 Now, listen to me.
• 07:13 We need that kind of godly leadership in our godless world.
• 07:19 And I am concerned personally.
• 07:23 I don't know what you look for in leadership, be it civil or
• 07:26 religious, but personally, individuals that resonate with
• 07:30 Judeo-Christian ethics really matter to me and when I don't
• 07:35 see that, I am gravely concerned.
• 07:40 Isaiah pointed to the day when someone would emerge likened
• 07:44 unto David and this reflects the fact that among other things,
• 07:48 that the memory of David is alive, and may the
• 07:51 memory be alive in our day as we're, with
• 07:55 some measured anxiety, looking into the future.
• 07:58 May it be your prayer with mine that godly people wield
• 08:03 influence in our culture to the end that we may
• 08:06 be better by virtue of their so doing.
• 08:13 narrator: "And the Lord said, 'Woe to the shepherd who
• 08:15 destroys and scatters the sheep of my pasture.'
• 08:19 Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel against the shepherd
• 08:23 who feeds my people: 'You have scattered my flock,
• 08:27 driven them away, and not attended to them.
• 08:30 Behold, I will attend to you for the evil
• 08:33 of your doings,' says the Lord."
• 08:41 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Behind me is a scaled version of the city
• 08:45 of David in Yerushalayim, in Jerusalem.
• 08:49 Actually, here in modern Israel, folks spent a small fortune to
• 08:52 reconstruct that and it's beautiful.
• 08:55 I'm told by a friend, Elie Asides, that this site is, along
• 09:00 with Masada, one of the most frequented sites that pilgrims
• 09:04 wanna check into when they visit Israel.
• 09:06 And they're excited to see it.
• 09:08 Yirmiyahu, Jeremiah, however, looked at this portion of the
• 09:11 city and he was not a happy camper, and why is that?
• 09:14 Well, he says in the 23rd chapter of his own book,
• 09:18 Yirmiyahu, Jeremiah's on record saying, "Woe is the shepherds
• 09:21 who destroy and scatter the sheep."
• 09:26 Yirmiyahu, Jeremiah, saw destruction
• 09:28 coming upon the city of David.
• 09:30 Yerushalayim was going to take a hit
• 09:33 by the Babylonians and why is that?
• 09:35 Because Jeremiah says the priests were vitiated, defiled,
• 09:41 the secular rulers were defiled as well.
• 09:45 In so many ways, it was a world like our own, that is to say
• 09:48 there's the pretense of religion and virtue, but the world had
• 09:53 long since abandoned biblical affects.
• 09:56 And so it is that Yirmiyahu, Jeremiah, went on record saying
• 09:59 that the sheep are going to be scattered, and so they were.
• 10:05 That's the bad news.
• 10:06 The good news, however, is that Yirmiyahu
• 10:08 envisioned a good world to come.
• 10:11 And I'm glad he did, by the way.
• 10:12 He didn't just leave his constituents despairing
• 10:15 as we're gonna see in a moment when we look
• 10:17 in the Bible, though he himself despaired.
• 10:20 Yirmiyahu is called the weeping prophet,
• 10:22 he's so very effusive, emotive.
• 10:25 He's weeping. Why?
• 10:26 'Cause he sees this beauty falling apart.
• 10:29 He's called the lonely prophet as well because this priestly
• 10:32 prophet was told never to marry and bear children because the
• 10:37 children were just destined for the slave market, if not death
• 10:40 outright when the Babylonians were going
• 10:42 to come and rape and pillage and plunder.
• 10:45 And come they did.
• 10:47 Yirmiyahu, Jeremiah, as I'd said, saw a bad moon rising over
• 10:51 this world that sadly is so much like our own.
• 10:54 But not only that, happily, however, he telescopes to the
• 10:59 future and he sees a bright spot beginning to emerge over the
• 11:04 horizon like the sun rising from the East
• 11:07 and displacing the prevailing darkness.
• 11:10 He says in verse 5 in his own words: "Behold, the days are
• 11:13 coming, says the LORD, when I will raise up
• 11:15 to David a Branch of righteousness."
• 11:20 We heard in the Isaianic passage earlier about the netzer, the
• 11:24 branch, that will spring forth and, by the way, that's why in
• 11:28 the New Testament Jesus is associated
• 11:30 with a city called Nazara, Nazareth.
• 11:33 It's named after the same.
• 11:35 That connection wouldn't have been lost to Jewish people in
• 11:38 the 1st century of this, the common era.
• 11:40 In any case, Jeremiah telescopes into the future
• 11:45 and he sees this Davidic person coming.
• 11:48 David's been dead for years by the time he speaks, and David's
• 11:52 been dead by--for millennia, but even in the Jewish world today,
• 11:55 we sing "David Melech Yisrael chai vekayam," "David, the king
• 12:00 of Israel, lives," because the memory lives, and why is that?
• 12:04 Because the prophets kept his memory alive, and why is that?
• 12:07 Because against the backdrop of a decaying world, they saw there
• 12:12 would be an emergent Davidic-like leader.
• 12:15 We're told in verse 6: "In His days Judah will be saved," and
• 12:20 he says under his administration,
• 12:23 "Israel will dwell securely."
• 12:25 And then he goes on to speak of this leader and says:
• 12:28 "And this is the name by which He shall be called:
• 12:31 Adonai Tzidkenu, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS."
• 12:37 I don't know how you feel, but in many
• 12:39 ways I'm discouraged when I look out.
• 12:43 I'm not the wisest owl in the forest, but when I look out over
• 12:46 my perch, I'm not a happy camper when I look at our own culture.
• 12:51 I see an abandonment of Judeo-Christian ethics, I see a
• 12:54 pretense of religion, but people deny the power of it.
• 12:58 I find people talking the talk, but I find rot and decay, and
• 13:03 frankly, I find it in high places.
• 13:06 Like Jeremiah and like you perhaps, I, we, he, look forward
• 13:10 to the day when we'll see this emergent leadership.
• 13:14 This series is called "The Warrior King," and we're looking
• 13:17 for David-like leadership in Goliath-like times.
• 13:23 May it be that more and more women and men stand up for
• 13:25 biblical virtue in a world where that virtue is in
• 13:29 very high demand and very short supply.

• 14:50 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Thank you for sending us
• 14:53 to the Israeli Museum.
• 14:56 There, we're afforded the opportunity to
• 14:58 point our cameras at the Dead Sea Scrolls.
• 15:02 It's all very fascinating.
• 15:04 One of the things that troubles me, I should say, is many look
• 15:07 at the Bible as the Dead Sea Scrolls, that is to say, it's
• 15:12 dead in that it's a story about yesterday.
• 15:16 These are not scrolls that speak to today.
• 15:20 I don't believe that, personally.
• 15:22 And I believe that we, in this program, we not only tell the
• 15:26 story, but we help bring it alive where people can see it,
• 15:30 specifically to see the good news through the eyes of the
• 15:33 Jews, through Bible teachings, through creative reenactments,
• 15:38 all done in Israel, just like the series on "Warrior King."
• 15:45 We're deep in the series right now.
• 15:47 I wanna ask you if you find value in what we do to bring
• 15:51 this story to life, I want to encourage you to sow seeds in it
• 15:56 please, and help us to continue to live
• 15:59 and breathe and bring this story afresh.
• 16:02 We're trying to lead people to the Lord, like a good shepherd.
• 16:06 Speaking of which, we're going to go to a dramatic reenactment
• 16:10 now and take a look at David, the Shepherd King.
• 16:14 ♪♪♪
• 16:18 narrator: "Thus saith the Lord God unto them, 'Therefore
• 16:21 when I save my flock and they shall no more be prey, I will
• 16:27 set up one shepherd over them and he shall feed them.
• 16:31 Even my servant David, he shall feed them
• 16:35 and he shall be their shepherd.
• 16:38 And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David
• 16:43 a prince among them'; I the Lord have spoken it."
• 16:51 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: I'm coming to you from the Kidron Valley.
• 16:55 To my left, you can't see it, the ancient temple once stood
• 17:00 and now there's Turkish walls round about it.
• 17:02 To my right, the Mount of Olives.
• 17:05 And here, in a valley where shepherds used to frequent,
• 17:09 verdant lands, but that was yesteryear.
• 17:14 Behind me is a monument to a name
• 17:17 that's not often repeated here in Israel.
• 17:21 It's a monument to Absalom, and why he would be remembered in a
• 17:26 place like this is anybody's guess, because truth be known,
• 17:31 he himself is persona non grata, and why is that?
• 17:35 Because Absalom was David's son who sought to kill him.
• 17:40 He drove David out of his own palace, made the king run for
• 17:44 his life in the later years of his life as Absalom--the name
• 17:50 "Avi" means my father, and shalom is peace.
• 17:55 He has a name connected to peace, "my father is peace."
• 17:58 But he gave his father
• 18:00 [speaking in Hebrew], truth be known.
• 18:02 [speaking in Hebrew], he gave him
• 18:03 aggravations as he sought to undermine him.
• 18:07 David lived in a precarious world.
• 18:10 This Absalom scattered the sheep, drove David away, caused
• 18:15 angst in the culture, and you know what?
• 18:18 When there's bad leadership that
• 18:19 comes to power, it does much the same.
• 18:24 David must have been spellbound with grief when he considered
• 18:29 what had happened, not only his own political dislocation, but
• 18:33 the fact that his own son, his wicked son who killed his
• 18:38 brother previously, by the way, that he has come to power.
• 18:42 And David was not a happy camper.
• 18:47 Well, Ezekiel remembers this story years later,
• 18:51 that is to say, the David story, and why is that?
• 18:55 Because Ezekiel inhabited a world much like David did in the
• 19:00 sense that bad people had come to power.
• 19:04 In fact, the wound in Judah was irreparable.
• 19:08 It was not to be fixed.
• 19:10 Judgment was meted out, and why is that?
• 19:14 Because wickedness reigned from the palace, wickedness reigned
• 19:19 from the pulpit, and wickedness was ubiquitous in the pew
• 19:23 everywhere, and it was not to be fixed.
• 19:26 So much for the bad news.
• 19:28 Difficulties notwithstanding, in a world where the righteous were
• 19:32 disconcerted and scattered, Ezekiel telegraphed out into the
• 19:36 future and he envisioned that a good shepherd will emerge.
• 19:41 He says--he lambasts in the 34th chapter, there are these bad
• 19:46 shepherds that are heaving discontent in the culture but
• 19:51 then he goes on to say: "Difficulties notwithstanding,"
• 19:54 in verse 23 and I quote, he says: "I will establish one
• 19:59 shepherd over them, and he shall feed them--My servant David."
• 20:07 David was long since dead as of Ezekiel's writing but the memory
• 20:11 of this imperfect yet righteous sort, he knew what it was to
• 20:14 repent, he found forgiveness, he was a man after God's own heart.
• 20:18 Ezekiel says, "We need some of that ruling again."
• 20:22 Now, arguably, Ezekiel's looking forward, his forward thrust to
• 20:27 this coming Davidic shepherd harks to the messianic era.
• 20:32 We know that, by the way, because when we look in the New
• 20:34 Testament, in the Matthean Gospel, the Matthew text, which
• 20:37 was written in a Semitic language, originally it opens
• 20:40 up, "[speaking foreign language]."
• 20:44 He's introduced, "Ben-David, Ben-Avraham, the son of David,"
• 20:49 and we know in the New Testament as Yeshua went about, "Son of
• 20:53 David, Son of David," well, here Ezekiel envisions that a Davidic
• 20:56 Son will emerge and we're told, "He will be their shepherd."
• 21:02 And then in verse 24: "And I, the LORD, will be their God, and
• 21:05 My servant David a prince among them; I, the LORD, have spoken."
• 21:12 I don't know about you, but that's what I want.
• 21:14 I look forward to the day when Sar Shalom comes,
• 21:18 when the Prince of Peace comes.
• 21:20 But until such time as he arrives, I want David-like
• 21:24 leadership in Goliath-like times ruling in our land.
• 21:28 I want that man after God's own heart.
• 21:32 I believe politicians, frankly, can be very well-intended,
• 21:36 but I believe as well that the road to hell
• 21:38 is paved with good intentions.
• 21:40 I want praying people ruling, and you and I need to pray for
• 21:44 our country, for our culture, because we want godly leadership
• 21:48 and we need it because we need David-like
• 21:50 leadership in these Goliath-like times.
• 21:56 Kirsten: In today's program, Jeff has been talking about King
• 21:59 David as a prototype for Messiah, and Jesus we saw the
• 22:04 tender heart but we didn't really see on earth Jesus as a
• 22:08 warrior king, like, slaying the tens of thousands.
• 22:11 That wasn't his heart at that time.
• 22:13 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Well, his mission wasn't to carve out
• 22:16 territory with boundaries in land.
• 22:18 When you do that, you're gonna have to have an army.
• 22:21 That's just the realities of the world that we live in.
• 22:23 You know, in America we have an army and God bless our soldiers.
• 22:27 Israel has an army, God bless our soldiers,
• 22:29 and God bless the leaders that inspire them.
• 22:33 But Jesus gave voice to the fact
• 22:34 that his kingdom was not of this world.
• 22:37 He came at a time to bring about something different,
• 22:40 to help people get to the world to come.
• 22:42 Now, he's gonna return to this world
• 22:44 and then take care of business in that way, but that
• 22:47 wasn't the task in hand in his Coming.
• 22:51 David: When we're on our tour bus, every time I look out the
• 22:53 window in certain places and we're in a mountain and we see
• 22:57 rocks, I think of Yeshua having to climb
• 23:01 those mountains and rocks, and he wasn't a wimp.
• 23:04 Kirsten: Right, right, he was strong.
• 23:06 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: No, he would have had to be a rugged
• 23:08 outdoors person, to be sure.
• 23:09 David: Yes, maybe not a warrior, per se, but strong.
• 23:13 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Well, certainly, the greatest battle
• 23:16 he had to fight was his own inclinations and not sin.
• 23:20 You know, he's on the cross and the word "excruciating" comes
• 23:26 from the Latin "ex crucis" which means "from the cross."
• 23:30 And that's when they put the sign on him, "King of the Jews."
• 23:34 So there's the Warrior King, and it looked like a loss
• 23:37 but the cross were the victory.
• 23:39 The next time he comes back, it won't look like a loss.
• 23:42 Kirsten: Where everyone will be bowing down to him, everyone,
• 23:44 the whole world will understand his strength and his power and
• 23:48 that kingdom will come at that time.
• 23:50 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Yes, so it is.
• 23:52 And people lose sight of that, quite frankly.
• 23:56 And they lose sight of the militancy that's involved.
• 24:00 And--but it's there.
• 24:02 I mean, we need to look at the book from, as my wife says, from
• 24:05 Genesis to maps, you know, from one end to the other, and it
• 24:09 does get tumultuous at the ragged end of time

• 25:36 Let's take a look.

• 25:44 Chaim Malespin: Here I am at what is
• 25:45 a scale model of Jerusalem.
• 25:47 You can come closer.
• 25:49 And this is the temple, how it used to look.
• 25:53 Do you think the temple will be rebuilt, the third temple?
• 25:56 We know Prophet Ezekiel talks about a temple
• 25:59 that is built which is bigger in dimensions
• 26:02 than any temple we've ever seen yet.
• 26:04 We also know there will be a temple not made by hands which
• 26:07 will come from heaven and it will be the new Jerusalem.
• 26:10 But I'm excited to say, "Look at the glory that was here for
• 26:14 years and years until, as Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai says, after
• 26:21 Yeshua died, "No more was there the glory in the temple."
• 26:24 The doors would open automatically.
• 26:26 You know what else?
• 26:28 The red cord that would tie in those temple doors, right there,
• 26:31 would stay red, it would never turn white ever again.
• 26:34 The stone they would find in the bag, they would pull out a
• 26:37 stone that's either a white one or a black stone.
• 26:39 They would never pull out the white stone ever again because
• 26:43 the atonement had already been brought by Yeshua.

• 27:34 but we're coming back too, aren't we?
• 27:36 Kirsten: We are, and I just have to say I'm sitting here at
• 27:38 this desk and all I think is "King of kings
• 27:42 and Lord of lords," "Hallelujah" chorus, he is
• 27:44 coming back in all of his glory very soon.
• 27:48 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Indeed, and it's--
