• 00:11 Caleb Colson: Luke 2:4-7: "Joseph also went up from
• 00:14 Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the
• 00:18 city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the
• 00:22 house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his
• 00:25 betrothed wife, who was with child.
• 00:28 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed
• 00:32 to her to be delivered.
• 00:33 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, And wrapped Him
• 00:37 in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there
• 00:41 was no room for them in the inn."
• 00:44 Joshua Colson: Well, hey, everybody, I'm Joshua.
• 00:46 Caleb: And I'm Caleb.
• 00:47 Joshua: And we are the Bearded Bible Brothers and right now we
• 00:50 are coming to you all the way from Bethlehem in the middle
• 00:55 of Judea.
• 00:56 We're not anywhere in the studio.
• 00:58 We're actually here.
• 00:59 We thought we'd bring you good tidings of great joy for all
• 01:01 people straight from the Nativity Church, the traditional
• 01:04 site of the birth of Yeshua.
• 01:06 Caleb: That's right.
• 01:07 You know, it is a traditional site, most probably not the site
• 01:10 of Yeshua's birth, which was actually in Bethlehem Ephrathah,
• 01:13 not far from here.
• 01:14 But when Queen Helena, the mother of Constantine, made her
• 01:18 visit to the Holy Land in 326 AD, she was duped by a lot
• 01:21 of locals.
• 01:23 It was like, "Oh yeah, Jesus died there.
• 01:24 He drinks some water there and--" Well, she built churches
• 01:27 everywhere to honor the site.
• 01:28 But this still is a very special moment, a very special time to
• 01:33 come to you at the end of the year to tell you about what we
• 01:37 have done as a ministry.
• 01:38 Joshua: Zola Levitt Ministries has accomplished so much
• 01:40 this year.
• 01:42 Over the last 8 years, you've known Caleb and I as the Bearded
• 01:44 Bible Brothers starting online.
• 01:46 And moving into the position of the leaders of the show, "Our
• 01:50 Jewish Roots," but this year we actually officially changed the
• 01:52 name "Our Jewish Roots" to the "Bearded Bible Brothers," and we
• 01:56 have launched some groundbreaking shows like the
• 01:58 very first one of that series from Damascus, Syria, right in
• 02:01 the heighth of all of its conflict.
• 02:03 Caleb: That's right, but one of our most important series we
• 02:06 started out this year with was "Rebuilding the Ruined Cities."
• 02:10 God placed it on our heart to go to Israel during a time of great
• 02:13 conflict and war and work with nonprofits and organizations
• 02:17 that are trying to help to rebuild the country and to help
• 02:21 their people after such devastation and conflict.
• 02:23 We went to wartorn areas like Sderot.
• 02:26 We went to the site of the Israeli Music
• 02:28 Festival massacre.
• 02:29 We went to Kibbutz Be'eri.
• 02:31 We went to Moshav Pri Gan,
• 02:32 2 miles from the border of Rafah immediately when the Rafah
• 02:36 invasion occurred and we brought this message of biblical hope
• 02:41 and restoration to God's people in Israel going throughout
• 02:43 scripture and showing the times when the children of Israel just
• 02:46 suffered immense destruction from the enemy and God then
• 02:50 restored them, renewed them, and rebuilt their cities.
• 02:53 So we want you to take a look at some of these amazing scenes
• 02:56 that we had back during this series when it aired,
• 03:00 "Rebuilding the Ruined Cities."

• 03:12 Amit Musaei: It's derived from antisemitism, this is what we
• 03:14 have to remember.
• 03:16 The hatred towards the Jews, specifically made by Muslims,
• 03:20 that their aspiration is to create an Islamic world, and
• 03:25 this still does not stop here and this is something that you
• 03:27 as Americans need to remember specifically, taking very
• 03:30 seriously what's happening on your campuses right now.
• 03:34 This is something that looks like the beginning of the end
• 03:39 and people should react and people should know truths.
• 03:45 They should know the reality.

• 04:03 Caleb: So generous of you to share such a tragic event and we
• 04:06 know that the reason you are is so that people will remember
• 04:09 what happened here.
• 04:11 They will not deny the truth that this was an act of
• 04:14 brutality, of terrorism, and ethnic genocide.
• 04:20 Israel Hanna: I was surprised and kind of shocked actually
• 04:22 that we as a team and a film crew could get into the
• 04:24 Be'eri Kibbutz.
• 04:26 Over 300 Hamas terrorists came into that village, destroyed the
• 04:30 homes, killed several people, a lot of people.
• 04:36 Joshua: You see, God is in the business of redeeming
• 04:38 the hopeless.
• 04:40 He's in the business of coming to those in a hopeless
• 04:42 situation, giving them hope, restoring them, pulling them out

• 05:05 have to chronicle every event with specificity of what
• 05:10 happened to the Jews.
• 05:16 Ray MacDonald: Everything that we own belongs to God and
• 05:19 therefore it's a commandment to share.
• 05:23 Leket, that's what we're all about.
• 05:29 Caleb: So join us as we ascend.
• 05:31 Joshua: Tel Desert.
• 05:33 Does ascend mean climb?
• 05:35 Caleb: Yep, we're climbing.
• 05:36 Joshua: Is there an escalator or a moving sidewalk?

• 06:03 The Iranians suspected that this was intended.
• 06:07 And if America comes into the war with Iraq, this is something
• 06:11 which Iran cannot face so they raised the white flag.
• 06:25 Caleb: The border to Gaza is not far from here.
• 06:28 We're hearing explosions because of the campaign in Gaza is
• 06:30 still ongoing.
• 06:31 As you see, the signs behind me, these were the people who were
• 06:36 kidnapped from this facility, and we heard a few of them have
• 06:39 returned since then, but there were more signs that God warned
• 06:43 the Jews that destruction was coming.
• 06:49 Joshua: And my heart hurts so deep because I know the truth
• 06:51 and I know his love.
• 06:53 And all I want is to be that perfect reflection of his love,
• 06:56 but you aren't perfect, and you never can be.

• 07:29 Lena Bachevsky: So the thing is that the farmers for years and
• 07:31 years have been the donors.
• 07:33 Those were the strong people in the equation that were providing
• 07:37 us food to donate to bring over to the needy.
• 07:41 Amit: But for me it was an opportunity to break this circle
• 07:44 of not coming out and especially I wanted to come here and start
• 07:47 to give my testimony here.
• 07:49 Joshua: Don't think for a second that our God has in any way

• 08:17 I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted
• 08:20 from the land I have given them,' says the Lord your God."
• 08:27 Caleb: "Rebuilding the Ruined Cities" was sobering, it was
• 08:30 hard to film, it was traumatic.
• 08:33 Even though God helped us through it, it was important for
• 08:35 us to see and to remind our viewers that the trauma, that
• 08:39 the pain that Israel endured on October 7th is not over.
• 08:43 In fact, you know, 70% of the country still is dealing with

• 09:14 For over 47 years Zola Levitt Ministries has endured.
• 09:18 Our founder Zola was one of the first to go on television and
• 09:21 say, "I'm a Jew whose Messiah is Yeshua," and begin to explain
• 09:27 and share and teach about the Hebrew origins of the
• 09:30 Christian faith.
• 09:31 He's compelled us to continue this mission on, sharing the
• 09:35 gospel, the truth, uncompromising in a time period
• 09:38 where it's very difficult to get the truth.
• 09:41 You see, every year, once a year, Zola would go on and he
• 09:45 would commission you with the opportunity to be a part.
• 09:48 You see, the Great Commission given to us by Yeshua wasn't
• 09:51 just for people called to be a pastor or those who feel they're
• 09:53 called to be an evangelist.
• 09:54 It was for every one of us to share the good news.

• 10:08 gospel, to give you a tool, a QR code, a link, content, books
• 10:13 that you can share with your unsaved friends, your relatives.

• 10:31 was the focus of our next series that we brought to you in 2025.
• 10:36 In fact, the Holy Spirit gave us a divine reinterpretation of
• 10:40 that, the whole message of the disciples coming to faith, the
• 10:43 first church in the book of Acts.
• 10:45 We did it from a Bearded Bible Brother style by going to the
• 10:48 state of Maine and telling the story of the lobstermen.
• 10:52 This was kind of polarizing for some Jews because we were
• 10:55 telling the story of how God took the unclean, the Gentiles,
• 10:59 and made them clean.
• 11:00 We had an all-star cast of Jews and Gentiles, young and old
• 11:05 together, and we went throughout the state of Maine in amazing
• 11:09 high jinks.
• 11:10 You know, fishing for lobsters, fishing for fish, you know,
• 11:12 hunting and rock climbing and all these amazing things, but
• 11:15 the focal point of the whole story was discipleship, was
• 11:18 leading the lost to Yeshua.
• 11:20 It was quite an adventure.
• 11:22 Joshua: And remember, a merry heart doeth good like
• 11:24 a medicine.

• 12:17 Israel: I surrender my life.

• 12:42 lobstermen and seeing their heart for God.

• 15:38 goodness, that's not kosher, don't do it.
• 15:40 What's going on?"
• 15:41 I loved this series and I loved it for many reasons, but one of
• 15:44 the things you have to understand about this series is
• 15:47 at the heart of it were believers in the state of Maine
• 15:49 who wanted to share the gospel with others.
• 15:52 All of those lobstermen in the show, they volunteered and
• 15:55 donated the time of their boats, the gasoline, every lobster that
• 15:58 they caught, they fed us.
• 16:00 They even rented out a church auditorium so that we could lead
• 16:03 a service and a salvation call for everyone in their city so
• 16:07 that their fellow lobstermen could have an opportunity to
• 16:09 choose salvation.
• 16:10 I love the gospel for that reason because no matter what
• 16:13 your bias or prejudice is, you realize we all have the same
• 16:16 Father, and he wants every one of us in here and he's given us
• 16:18 all a part to play in that.

• 16:25 Caleb: That's right.
• 16:26 I know we being the Bearded Bible Brothers, we
• 16:29 look different.
• 16:30 We do things differently than our predecessors, than Zola
• 16:33 Levitt, Dr. Jeffrey Seif, even Myles and Katharine Weiss.
• 16:36 We have a different anointing and a different calling, a
• 16:38 different personality that God gave us to deliver his messages
• 16:42 in a different way.
• 16:43 And sometimes it can be new and scary.
• 16:44 I understand that.
• 16:46 We love tradition.
• 16:47 We're Jewish.
• 16:48 We love the things that our ancestors did, but sometimes
• 16:50 when we hold on to tradition too hard and say it has to be this
• 16:54 way, it becomes idolatry in our lives.
• 16:56 It becomes teraphim, which is the worship of our ancestors.
• 17:00 We want to do new things in a new way because Yeshua does all
• 17:04 things new, and that means we're going to continue to tell his
• 17:07 message in a new way because the reason he's telling us to do is
• 17:11 to reach a new audience, to reach a new generation with his
• 17:16 gospel, and if you believe that you want your kids or your

• 17:48 It looks a little bit different, right?
• 17:50 It's in the area of Judea, which a lot of people today call the
• 17:53 West Bank.
• 17:54 But if you follow the Bible and you understand the covenant that
• 17:57 God made with Abraham, you know that he gave this land to the
• 17:59 people of Israel.
• 18:01 Look back in 1950 and the Arab Christians in this area
• 18:05 were 86%.
• 18:07 Today that's dropped to less than 10%.
• 18:10 It's a shame to see that happen, and this is even more reason why
• 18:13 the gospel needs to be shared.
• 18:15 Caleb: That's right, when you see signs behind me like this,
• 18:18 "Thank you for recognizing the state of Palestine."
• 18:21 There is no state of Palestine, and God moved on our hearts to
• 18:24 declare the truth of whose land it belongs to.
• 18:28 It's actually his land, but he leased it to his chosen people,
• 18:31 the Jews, so we decided to go back from the beginning to tell
• 18:34 that important history and Bible lesson in our series, "Conquest
• 18:38 of Canaan."
• 18:39 It aired at the end of 2025, and in this series we start from the
• 18:43 other side of the Jordan River in the state of Jordan.
• 18:46 We go from point to point, battle to battle, showing the

• 20:16 You start to get too individualistic and you lose

• 20:29 They had to march through the night, the scripture said, up to
• 20:32 2400 feet above sea level.
• 20:35 We're at 3000 feet above sea level, and you know, Google Maps
• 20:38 told me it was gonna take 10 hours for me to march to Gilgal.
• 20:41 I don't like that, but they stayed faithful after being
• 20:44 awake for 24 hours to continue through the night till they're
• 20:47 36 hours awake to show up to fight a massive battle.
• 20:50 Joshua: I think the reason repentance is so important to
• 20:52 God is because if you are not repenting and you're operating
• 20:55 in that sin, that sin is actually fueled by pride, and
• 20:59 pride, that original sin, is what caused Lucifer to get
• 21:01 thrown down.
• 21:03 And when you operate in pride, people say, "Well, that's not
• 21:05 that bad of a sin."
• 21:06 It's not the action that's happening.
• 21:08 It's the motivation behind the action, which is telling the God
• 21:11 of the universe, "I don't have to listen to you.
• 21:13 I get to do what I want to do.
• 21:14 I want this lifestyle.
• 21:16 I've been able to give myself this.
• 21:17 I've been able to create this position for me, so how about
• 21:19 you just butt out of my life?"
• 21:21 And that's why pride goes before a fall, because the King of the
• 21:24 universe says, "I'm the only one in charge here."
• 21:27 And so as Joshua today, because I am, and Joshua back then, I'm
• 21:31 gonna implore you, repent.
• 21:34 Get the pride out of your life.
• 21:36 There's nothing that you are holding on to that is worth
• 21:39 losing your soul over.
• 21:41 Today, the Father is saying to you, "Humble yourself before me,
• 21:44 and I'll exalt you before my Father."
• 21:47 All you have to do is give him that whatever it is, the fear,
• 21:51 the lust, the sin, the what anything in your heart, give it
• 21:54 to him and humble yourself and let him take control of your
• 21:57 life, or else let your life become a story of a desolate
• 22:00 land that no one lives in.
• 22:03 If you haven't chosen Yeshua as your Lord and Savior, he's the
• 22:06 one you've been looking for.
• 22:08 He's the one who wants to fulfill your life.
• 22:11 You simply say, "Dear Heavenly Father, I repent for my sins.
• 22:16 I ask you to wash me clean.
• 22:18 I believe that you sent your Son Yeshua to die for me.
• 22:20 That he rose again on the 3rd day and that he sits next to you

• 23:37 It's one of the slashes.
• 23:38 Joshua: See you there.
• 23:40 Caleb: Matthew 1:20-23: "Behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to
• 23:45 him in a dream, saying, 'Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid
• 23:50 to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in
• 23:53 her is of the Holy Spirit, And she will bring forth a Son, and
• 23:58 you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people From
• 24:02 their sins.'
• 24:03 So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was
• 24:06 spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: 'Behold, the
• 24:10 virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call
• 24:14 His name Immanuel,' which is translated, 'God with us.'"
• 24:20 Joshua: Now we know that Yeshua wasn't born in the winter
• 24:22 season, but don't worry, it doesn't feel like winter here,
• 24:25 so we feel like it's okay.
• 24:26 You know what we do love though?
• 24:28 We love to celebrate the birth of baby Yeshua.
• 24:31 We love that he lived a perfect sinless life.
• 24:33 The only one who's ever fulfilled the law.
• 24:35 We love that he was crucified for our sins, that he died on
• 24:38 that cross, and for 3 days in hell, he took death, hell, and
• 24:43 the keys and he went out and he lives up in heaven waiting for
• 24:46 us, preparing a place.
• 24:48 We love that sacrifice that he's done for us, and that is why we
• 24:51 celebrate him.
• 24:53 Caleb: And that's why we love what Zola Levitt Ministries has
• 24:55 done these past 47 years.
• 24:59 They have--we have changed the earth.
• 25:00 Zola changed the earth with the gospel of Yeshua to his Jewish
• 25:04 people, but we don't want to idolize the things of the past.
• 25:07 We want to move on to new things.
• 25:09 We want your kids and your grandkids to hear the gospel
• 25:12 of Yeshua.
• 25:13 And that's why we spent the better part of this year
• 25:15 focusing on the Great Commission, focus on bringing
• 25:18 the gospel to the lost, focus on bringing the gospel to the Jew
• 25:21 first and then to the Gentile.
• 25:23 That's so important, you know, we've been grooming sheep for
• 25:26 quite some time, you know, and discipleship is very important
• 25:30 with the body of Christ.
• 25:32 But there's a world that is lost and dying and is going to hell,
• 25:35 and Yeshua is coming soon and that's why our mission is
• 25:40 so important.
• 25:41 And that's why your backing is so important, to help us
• 25:44 continue that mission.
• 25:46 Joshua: We have exciting things that God has planned for us
• 25:48 next year.
• 25:49 Next week, you're gonna get to see a video that shows some of
• 25:52 the new series that you're gonna be experiencing, some of the new
• 25:55 teachings that are gonna be incredible.
• 25:57 It's gonna be so exciting.
• 25:59 You see, we're not just on television anymore, but we're
• 26:02 using the technology of the day to get the gospel out.
• 26:05 You can find Bearded Bible Brothers on Rumble, on X, on

• 26:34 I know in the past you have felt pressured to give, but this is
• 26:38 not us putting a pressure on you.
• 26:39 This is us asking you to ask the Holy Spirit because now is the
• 26:43 time for you to play a part.
• 26:45 This isn't because we're in need for the sake of in need.
• 26:48 Our God, our Father, has everything, but he uses each of
• 26:52 us to play a part in this life to stretch us, to grow our
• 26:56 faith, to commission us, and then for us to receive a
• 26:59 blessing because of it, and that's what this is about.
• 27:03 If you have a heart for Israel, if you have a heart to see
• 27:06 people choose Jesus, to understand why it's so
• 27:10 important, then I challenge you to financially commit to this
• 27:13 ministry, to be a part of the blessing, and to join the ranks
• 27:17 of us who are going not just into a studio somewhere but
• 27:21 literally across this world into places that most people are
• 27:24 afraid to go and we're not sure how long they're going to be
• 27:26 available for any of us to go.
• 27:28 That's why we're trying to get as many of them taken away
• 27:30 as possible.
• 27:31 One location at a time we're going and going and going and
• 27:33 going to share the truth.
• 27:35 As we go, we remind you as we always do, Sha'alu
• 27:39 shalom Yerushalayim.
• 27:40 Caleb: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
