Caption transcript for “Looking back at 2010,” Part 1

• 00:17 BRETHREN, MY HEART'S DESIRE AND PRAYER TO GOD FOR ISRAEL
• 00:21 IS THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED.
• 00:24 FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK.
• 00:26 FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM.
• 00:42 HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
• 00:43 JEFFREY SEIF HERE
• 00:44 PLEASED TO WELCOME YOU
• 00:46 TO A VERY SPECIAL EDITION
• 00:47 OF ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 00:49 SPECIAL EDITION
• 00:50 BECAUSE IT'S A YEAR END EDITION
• 00:52 DURING WHICH TIME WE GET TO REFLECT SOMEWHAT WHERE WE'VE BEEN IN THE YEAR.
• 00:57 AND WE'VE BEEN ALL OVER THE LAND OF ISRAEL
• 00:59 POKING CAMERAS INTO INTERESTING PLACES AND GETTING INTERVIEWS WITH VERY INTERESTING PEOPLE.
• 01:07 SPEAKING OF INTERESTING PLACES,
• 01:08 BEHIND ME IS THE CITY IN THAT SONG
• 01:11 "O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM".
• 01:14 WELL IT'S GETTING A LITTLE BIGGER I MIGHT ADD.
• 01:16 AND WE'RE IN THERE REPORTING WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE AND ROUND ABOUT,
• 01:20 FOR INSTANCE, JERUSALEM,
• 01:21 JUST A LITTLE NEIGHBORING CITY.
• 01:23 WE'RE ALL ABOUT GETTING YOU TO SEE PLACES AND PEOPLE.
• 01:27 AND SPEAKING OF PEOPLE,
• 01:28 ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS THIS PAST YEAR
• 01:30 WAS OUR INTERVIEW WITH DAN AYALON, A MINISTER,
• 01:33 IN FACT, A FORMER AMBASSADOR FROM ISRAEL AND NOW A DEPUTY TO THE PRIME MINSTER.
• 01:39 WHAT A GUY!
• 01:40 HE'S GOING TO GIVE YOU A WINDOW INTO UNDERSTANDING WHY ISRAEL
• 01:43 IS FOREVER LAMBASTED IN THE PRESS AND IN THE WORLD.
• 01:48 HERE IN ISRAEL, OF COURSE,
• 01:49 WE APPRECIATE VERY MUCH THE
• 01:51 LEADERSHIP OF THE UNITED STATES,
• 01:53 THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHICH ARE
• 01:56 IN MY MIND THE MOST DECENT,
• 01:58 THE MOST COURAGEOUS
• 01:59 IN THE WORLD.
• 02:00 THEY ARE THE ONES
• 02:02 WHO COULD STAND
• 02:04 AND ACTUALLY DID STAND
• 02:06 AGAINST WORLD INJUSTICE
• 02:08 WHETHER IT WAS NAZISM
• 02:09 OR WHETHER IT WAS COMMUNISM,
• 02:11 AND NOW TERRORISM.
• 02:13 AND WE ARE PROUD TO BE
• 02:16 THE UNITED STATE'S BEST FRIEND
• 02:18 AND ALLY HERE IN THIS REGION
• 02:20 AND I BELIEVE BEYOND.
• 02:21 I'M PUZZLED WHY...
• 02:23 IT DEFIES REASON
• 02:25 THAT PEOPLE JUST WANT TO BE
• 02:26 HELL-BENT ON CASTIGATING
• 02:28 JEWS AND ISRAEL
• 02:30 BECAUSE THERE'S SUCH A STRONG...
• 02:32 I MEAN THERE'S ANOTHER SIDE
• 02:33 TO THE STORY.
• 02:34 WHY DOESN'T THE WORLD
• 02:36 WANT TO HEAR IT?
• 02:37 OR WHY DON'T PEOPLE
• 02:38 WANT TO TELL IT?
• 02:39 DO YOU HAVE ANY SENSE OF THAT?
• 02:41 IT CONFUSES ME.
• 02:42 WELL, FIRST OF ALL
• 02:43 I WOULD SAY IT'S BECAUSE
• 02:45 THIS AUTOMATIC MAJORITIES
• 02:47 THAT THE ARABS
• 02:48 AND ISLAMIC COUNTRIES AND
• 02:50 NON-DEMOCRATIC COUNTRIES HAVE.
• 02:51 LOOK THERE ARE 22 ARAB COUNTRIES
• 02:54 WHICH ARE VOTING AS ONE BLOCK.
• 02:58 THESE 22 ARAB COUNTRIES,
• 02:59 THE ARAB LEAGUE COUNTRIES,
• 03:01 ARE A PART OF THE LARGER GROUP
• 03:04 CALLED THE "OIC",
• 03:06 "ORGANIZATION OF ISLAMIC STATES"
• 03:08 WHICH HAS 57,
• 03:09 SO ALL READY YOU HAVE 57 VOTES
• 03:12 AGAINST ISRAEL
• 03:13 OR AGAINST THE UNITED STATES
• 03:15 OR EUROPE FOR THAT MATTER.
• 03:16 THIS 57 ARE YET PART OF
• 03:19 A LARGER GROUP THAT USED
• 03:21 TO BE CALLED THE "GROUP OF 77"
• 03:23 OR "THE NON-ALIGNED".
• 03:24 NOW THERE ARE 118 COUNTRIES
• 03:27 IN THIS GROUP.
• 03:28 SO ALREADY YOU HAVE
• 03:29 AN AUTOMATIC MAJORITY...
• 03:30 118 COUNTRIES OUT OF
• 03:32 TOTAL OF 192 MEMBER STATES
• 03:35 IN THE UNITED NATIONS.
• 03:37 YOU HAVE ALREADY
• 03:38 AN AUTOMATIC MAJORITY
• 03:39 AND CAN TELL YOU
• 03:41 THAT IF THE DECIDED TODAY
• 03:43 TO PASS A RESOLUTION
• 03:44 THAT EARTH IS FLAT
• 03:45 THEY WILL SUCCEED.
• 03:47 NOW WHY DO THEY SUCCEED?
• 03:49 BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE VOTES.
• 03:51 BUT ALSO THERE IS NO REAL...
• 03:54 I WOULD SAY...
• 03:56 CONSCIENCE...
• 04:00 WORLD CONSCIENCE...
• 04:01 A BEACON THAT WOULD BE
• 04:03 OF DECENCY AND HOPE
• 04:04 ASIDE FROM THE UNITED STATES
• 04:06 THAT WOULD CALL THEIR BLUFF
• 04:08 AND WOULD CASTIGATE THEM.
• 04:10 AND THIS IS BECAUSE
• 04:12 MAYBE THERE ARE SOME SPLITS
• 04:13 AMONG WESTERN DEMOCRACIES...
• 04:16 MAYBE ITS BECAUSE OF CONVENIENCE
• 04:18 MAYBE BECAUSE OF LAZINESS...
• 04:20 MAYBE SOME BECAUSE OF
• 04:22 VERY NARROW INTERESTS,
• 04:25 SHORT TERM INTERESTS...
• 04:26 THEY DO NOT WANT TO
• 04:27 UPSET THE ARABS...
• 04:28 THEY ARE DEPENDENT
• 04:32 ON OIL SUPPLY...
• 04:33 THINGS LIKE THAT.
• 04:34 BUT IN THE LONG RUN
• 04:36 IT IS VERY, VERY...
• 04:40 VERY, VERY URGENT
• 04:43 AND VERY, VERY IMPORTANT
• 04:45 THAT COUNTRIES,
• 04:47 LIKE MINDED COUNTRIES...
• 04:49 DECENT PEOPLE
• 04:50 WOULD PULL TOGETHER.
• 04:52 OTHERWISE DIVIDED WE FALL,
• 04:54 UNITED WE CAN NOT ONLY SURVIVE
• 04:58 BUT THRIVE.
• 05:01 WELL THERE YOU HEARD FROM A STATE LEADER.
• 05:04 AND NOW I WANT YOU TO HEAR AGAIN FROM A CHURCH FEEDER.
• 05:07 LANCE LAMBERT SPEAKS TO CHURCHES ALL OVER THE WORLD.
• 05:11 AND WHEN IT COMES TO FRIENDS OF ISRAEL WITHIN THE CHRISTIAN WORLD
• 05:16 FEW ARE MORE INTRANSIGENT THAN HIM IN HIS RESOLUTE SUPPORT
• 05:21 FOR WHAT GOD IS DOING HERE AMONGST THE PEOPLE IN THE LAND.
• 05:26 YOU KNOW MINISTRIES, MINISTERS,
• 05:27 TEND TO WANT TO PROMOTE THEMSELVES,
• 05:29 BUT I WANT YOU TO HEAR PEOPLE BETTER THAN ME.
• 05:31 SO OFF WE GO IN A SECOND AND YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM LANCE.
• 05:34 DAVID DOLAN, FORMER CBS CORRESPONDENT, INTERVIEWS HIM
• 05:39 AND I WANT YOU TO HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY
• 05:42 AND LET IT GET INTO THE HEAD AND THEN DOWN TO THE HEART.
• 05:44 OFF WE GO NOW TO LANCE LAMBERT.
• 05:49 I REMEMBER VERY WELL
• 05:51 WHEN I WAS...
• 05:53 I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN
• 05:55 MORE THAN 14 OR 15...
• 05:57 I REMEMBER ALLEN REDPATH
• 05:59 GETTING VERY STEAMED UP
• 06:01 ONE SUNDAY MORNING
• 06:03 GRIPPING THE SIDES OF THE PULPIT
• 06:05 AND SAYING,
• 06:06 "AS SURE AS I STAND HERE"
• 06:08 "GOD WILL JUDGE THE BRITISH EMPIRE AND THE BRITISH ISLES"
• 06:14 "FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE."
• 06:16 HE SAID, "AT THIS VERY TIME"
• 06:18 "THE ROYAL AIR FORCE IS BOMBING SURVIVORS OF THE HOLOCAUST"
• 06:23 "AND THE ROYAL NAVY IS SHELLING THEM AND RAMMING THEIR SHIPS."
• 06:27 HE SAID, "AND THEN THEY'RE TAKEN"
• 06:29 "EITHER INTO CYPRUS OR INTO MAURITIUS."
• 06:33 AND HE SAID, "THE TIME WILL COME WHEN THERE WILL BE NO EMPIRE"
• 06:39 "AND BRITAIN WILL BE AN OFFSHORE ISLAND OF EUROPE."
• 06:46 AND I REMEMBER SOME PEOPLE GETTING UP AND WALKING OUT
• 06:50 AND I THOUGHT THEY MIGHT BE...
• 06:52 I WAS ONLY A KID...
• 06:53 I THOUGHT OH THEY'VE GOT LUNCHEON APPOINTMENTS,
• 06:56 THE PASTOR IS GOING ON RATHER LATE
• 06:58 AND SO THEY'RE OFF TO THEIR LUNCHEON APPOINTMENTS.
• 07:01 ACTUAL FACT I LEARNED LATER
• 07:04 THAT THEY WERE PATRIOTS
• 07:06 WHO WERE HORRIFIED THAT THE PASTOR COULD SAY SUCH A THING
• 07:11 ABOUT THE GREAT BRITISH EMPIRE UPON WHICH THE SUN NEVER SET.
• 07:15 BUT THE SUN DID SET ON IT.
• 07:18 AND IT SET ON IT EXACTLY THE TIME THAT ISRAEL BECAME A STATE IN 1948.
• 07:26 THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE DISILLUSION OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE.
• 07:29 I HAVE SAID AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS
• 07:33 THAT AMERICA IS HEADING EXACTLY FOR THE SAME SITUATION.
• 07:38 WELL LANCE THAT'S A VERY STRONG STATEMENT.
• 07:41 IT MIGHT BE SHAKING SOME OF THE VIEWERS IN AMERICAN RIGHT NOW.
• 07:46 HOW CLOSE DO YOU THINK WE MIGHT BE TO SUCH AN UNLEASHING OF JUDGMENT?
• 07:50 VERY, VERY CLOSE...
• 07:51 VERY CLOSE INDEED.
• 07:53 I PERSONALLY BELIEVE AND I SAY THIS VERY CAREFULLY...
• 07:58 THE BLAME FOR THIS SITUATION LIES AT THE DOOR OF THE CHURCH IN AMERICA.
• 08:09 HOW SO?
• 08:10 SHE HAS BEEN MORE INTERESTED IN WALL TO WALL CARPETING,
• 08:14 MINISTERS OF EDUCATION,
• 08:15 MINISTERS OF YOUTH,
• 08:17 MINISTERS OF OLD AGE,
• 08:18 MINISTERS OF EVERYTHING...
• 08:19 WONDERFUL ENTERTAINMENT...
• 08:21 MARVELOUS CHOIRS...
• 08:23 GREAT MUSIC ON ORGANS, PIANOS AND EVERYTHING ELSE
• 08:28 AND HAS NOT UNDERSTOOD THAT THEY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE NATION IN WHICH THEY'RE FOUND.
• 08:37 THE CHURCH ON THE WHOLE WITH GLORIOUS EXCEPTIONS THROUGHOUT NORTH AMERICA,
• 08:45 BOTH UNITED AND CANADA HAS BEEN ASLEEP.
• 08:49 IT'S TRUE THAT A NUMBER OF EVANGELICAL LEADERS WENT TO MR. BUSH TO WARN HIM.
• 08:58 BUT BY AND LARGE THE CHURCH HAS BEEN ASLEEP.
• 09:03 BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT THE UNITED STATES WOULD NEVER FALL,
• 09:08 WOULD NEVER COLLAPSE
• 09:10 AND THAT IT'S AN IMPOSSIBILITY...
• 09:12 JUST LIKE PEOPLE THOUGHT BRITAIN COULD NEVER COLLAPSE...
• 09:14 IT'S AN IMPOSSIBILITY.
• 09:16 IT SEEMS SO.
• 09:17 ALSO AT THE TIME...
• 09:19 MAJOR EMPIRES.
• 09:20 YES AND LOOK AT THE AMERICAN DOLLAR...
• 09:23 IT'S VIRTUALLY LOSING ITS VALUE.
• 09:27 WE REALLY FEEL IT OVER HERE IN ISRAEL.
• 09:29 ABSOLUTELY WE DO.
• 09:30 AND I MEAN NOW THERE IS REAL TALK
• 09:33 AS TO WHETHER TO CHANGE THE DOLLAR TO ANOTHER CURRENCY...
• 09:37 I MEAN THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE...
• 09:40 THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR.
• 09:43 AND I MIGHT JUST ADD TO THIS
• 09:46 THAT JERUSALEM IS THE BOTTOM LINE IN THIS WHOLE CONFLICT.
• 09:51 THE REAL CONFLICT IN BATTLE IS OVER JERUSALEM...
• 09:58 INDEED I CAN BE MORE SPECIFIC...
• 10:02 IT IS OVER ONE SQUARE MILE...
• 10:06 IT IS THE TEMPLE MOUNT
• 10:09 WHERE THE HOUSE OF THE LORD ONCE STOOD.
• 10:12 THAT IS THE KEY TO THIS CONFLICT.
• 10:15 THERE WILL BE NO PEACE
• 10:17 BECAUSE THE PALESTINIANS AND THE ISLAMIC WORLD
• 10:20 INSISTS ON HAVING JERUSALEM AND THE TEMPLE MOUNT
• 10:28 AND ISRAEL FINDS IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LET GO OF JERUSALEM.
• 10:34 AFTER ALL THE WORD "JERUSALEM" DOESN'T OCCUR ONCE IN THE KORAN.
• 10:41 LANCE LAMBERT IS A CHURCH LEADER...
• 10:43 SPEAKS TO CHURCHES AS I'D SAID PREVIOUSLY
• 10:45 AND YOU HEARD HIM SPEAK VERY DIRECTLY.
• 10:48 I LIKE BOLD SPEECH, BY THE WAY,
• 10:50 I THINK IN THIS WORLD
• 10:51 IT'S IN VERY HIGH DEMAND
• 10:53 AND VERY SHORT SUPPLY.
• 10:55 MANY MINISTERS ARE WORRIED ABOUT HOW TO PROTECT THEIR PULPITS AND PROTECT THEIR JOBS.
• 10:58 LANCE LAMBERT SEEMS TO WANT TO BE A GUARDIAN OF THE TRUTH
• 11:01 AND SO SOMETIMES HE SAYS THINGS THAT ARE RATHER DIRECT.
• 11:04 AND I SAY KUDOS TO HIM...
• 11:06 SOMEONE I WANT TO EMULATE.
• 11:08 WELL IN ADDITION TO HEARING FROM CHRISTIAN LEADERS,
• 11:11 WE HEAR FROM JEWISH LEADERS
• 11:12 BECAUSE WE WANT YOU TO HEAR PEOPLE THAT YOU WOULDN'T OTHERWISE HEAR
• 11:16 AND LEVI CHAZAN IS JUST ONE PERSON.
• 11:19 YOU KNOW I'M ALL ABOUT TAKING PEOPLE TO ISRAEL
• 11:21 AND WE TAKE THEM TO THE STANDARD GARDEN VARIETY HOLY LAND TOUR SITES.
• 11:26 BUT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT
• 11:28 WE LIKE PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF ISRAEL THAT ARE OFF THE BEATEN PATH.
• 11:33 LEVI CHAZAN'S PLACE IS NOT ONLY OFF THE PATH BUT WHAT HE IS ALL ABOUT IS OFF THE CHARTS.
• 11:40 OFF THE CHARTS THAT IS IF YOU DON'T HAVE A BIBLE IN HAND.
• 11:43 AND THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT IS LEVI CHAZAN IS PARTICIPATING IN THE REMANUFACTURE...
• 11:49 NOW LISTEN TO THIS...
• 11:50 THIS IS SUPER COOL...
• 11:52 HE IS PARTICIPATING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SCHOOL,
• 11:55 A FIELD SCHOOL,
• 11:57 WHERE RABBIS ARE TRAINING PRIESTS TO OFFICIATE IN THE SANCTUARY...
• 12:04 ALL THIS IN ANTICIPATION OF A REBUILT SANCTUARY.
• 12:08 FRIENDS LET ME TELL YOU, THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS ARE PROFOUND.
• 12:12 OFF WE GO NOW TO LEVI CHAZAN.
• 12:16 OKAY, WE'RE LOCATED ABOUT
• 12:17 20 MINUTES OUT OF JERUSALEM
• 12:18 IN A SETTLEMENT CALLED
• 12:20 "MIZPAH YERICHO"
• 12:21 WHICH IS RIGHT OUTSIDE OF JERICHO, OVERLOOKS JERICHO.
• 12:25 AND WHAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED OVER HERE
• 12:29 AND WHAT WILL BE ON THE PREMISES
• 12:32 IS A FIELD SCHOOL
• 12:33 THAT IS GOING TO BE THE PREPARATIONS
• 12:36 FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE THIRD TEMPLE.
• 12:38 AND THIS FIELD SCHOOL IT IS VERY UNIQUE.
• 12:40 WE WILL TRAIN PRIESTS AND KOHANIM, LEVITES,
• 12:43 IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN THEIR WORK IN THE TEMPLE SERVICE IN JERUSALEM.
• 12:48 I THINK THIS IS A FASCINATING STORY.
• 12:51 YOU LIVE IT AND BREATHE IT
• 12:53 AND PARTICIPATE IN IT DAY AFTER DAY.
• 12:56 SO IT'S JUST...
• 12:57 I'M NOT SAYING IT'S PEDESTRIAN OR MUNDANE, IT CERTAINLY ISN'T,
• 13:00 BUT TO THINK FOR A MOMENT...
• 13:02 THERE'S A VISION TO RE-GATHER THE PRIESTHOOD,
• 13:06 TO BUILD A SCHOOL, TO TRAIN,
• 13:08 TO PREPARE FOR SACRIFICES...
• 13:10 THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
• 13:12 YOU HAVE TO REALIZE
• 13:13 THAT THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 13:14 HAVE BEEN OUT OF TOUCH
• 13:15 FOR THE LAST 2,000 YEARS,
• 13:17 NOT ONLY SEPARATED
• 13:18 FROM THE LAND,
• 13:19 BUT SEPARATED
• 13:20 FROM THEIR SERVICE.
• 13:21 AND A GREAT ASPECT OF
• 13:22 THE JEWISH PEOPLE'S SERVICE,
• 13:24 WHICH IS LISTED IN THE BIBLE,
• 13:25 IS THE SERVICE WHICH TOOK PLACE
• 13:28 IN THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM.
• 13:30 IT WAS A MAIN, MAIN PART OF THE JEWISH PEOPLES LIVES,
• 13:33 THEIR CYCLE, THEIR HOLIDAYS WHENEVER IT WAS,
• 13:35 EVERYTHING CENTERED AROUND THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM.
• 13:39 JEWISH PEOPLE HAVE BEEN OUT OF TOUCH WITH THAT.
• 13:42 THEY'VE BEEN AWAY FROM THAT...
• 13:44 THEY'VE BEEN REMOVED FROM ANYTHING REMOTELY RESEMBLING ANY TYPE OF SERVICE IN THE TEMPLE
• 13:50 AND WHAT WE'RE DOING OVER HERE
• 13:51 IS TO GET THEM RENEWED WITH THIS WORK,
• 13:54 TO PREPARE THEM IN ORDER TO TEACH THEM ALL THE ASPECTS OF THE TEMPLE SERVICE ITSELF,
• 14:00 WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO,
• 14:01 WHERE THEY HAVE TO GO
• 14:03 AND WE ARE PLANNING HERE TO RAISE A GENERATION OF PRIESTS AND LEVITES
• 14:07 THAT WILL BE ABLE WHEN THE TIME COMES TO WORK IN THE TEMPLE SERVICE IN JERUSALEM.
• 14:12 MR. CHAZAN WHAT ARE THE LINES HERE ALL ABOUT?
• 14:15 AND WHAT'S UP WITH THE STONES?
• 14:16 THIS IS ACTUALLY WHERE THE GROUND BREAKING WAS DONE A FEW DAYS AGO.
• 14:23 AND THIS IS BASICALLY THE BASE OF THE ALTAR ITSELF.
• 14:26 THE FIRST STAGE OF THE FIELD SCHOOL IS TO BUILD THE ALTAR.
• 14:30 THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THE FIELD SCHOOL.
• 14:32 AND WHAT YOU SEE OVER HERE IS THE LINE MARKINGS,
• 14:34 IS EXACTLY WHERE THE SITE OF THE ALTAR WILL BE.
• 14:37 AND SO WHAT WE'VE DONE OVER HERE
• 14:39 IS STARTED CONSTRUCTION ON THE ALTAR
• 14:41 AND THAT'S THE PILE THAT YOU CAN SEE OVER WITH THE HOLE
• 14:45 AND IS ACTUALLY...
• 14:47 IT'S ACTUALLY VERY HISTORICAL
• 14:48 BECAUSE WHEN KING DAVID FIRST CAME TO JERUSALEM
• 14:51 THE FIRST THING THAT HE DID,
• 14:52 OUR RABBIS OF BLESSED MEMORY
• 14:54 TEACH US,
• 14:55 IS THAT HE DUG UNDER
• 14:57 THE TEMPLE MOUNT ITSELF
• 14:59 IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH THE OUTLET
• 15:01 FOR THE WINE AND WATER LIBATIONS
• 15:04 WHICH WERE POURED ON THE ALTAR.
• 15:06 ON TOP OF THE ALTAR,
• 15:07 THERE WAS TUNNELS
• 15:08 WHICH LED UNDERGROUND
• 15:09 THAT KING DAVID HIMSELF
• 15:11 ACTUALLY DUG THOSE TUNNELS OUT
• 15:13 IN ORDER TO PREPARE IT.
• 15:14 SO THE FIRST STAGE THAT WE'VE DONE IS ALSO MADE A HOLE IN THE GROUND
• 15:18 IN ORDER TO PREPARE OUR MODEL OVER HERE FOR THE WINE AND WATER LIBATIONS.
• 15:22 I AM ASTOUNDED.
• 15:25 A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO THE NEWS CREWS WERE HERE ADVERTISING A STORY...
• 15:30 THERE WAS SOME GROUND BREAKING...
• 15:32 I CAN STILL SEE THE CHALK LINES
• 15:34 HERE WHERE THE MITZBE'ACH,
• 15:36 WHERE THE ALTAR IS GOING TO BE.
• 15:37 YOU SEE OVER HERE
• 15:39 THIS IS THE HILL THAT'S RIGHT BEHIND US
• 15:41 WITH THE ONE TO ONE SCALE OF THE TEMPLE AND THE ALTAR INSIDE OF IT.
• 15:46 AND WHAT WE'RE BUILDING OVER HERE THE MODEL,
• 15:48 YOU HAVE TO REALIZE, THIS IS NOT JUST A SMALL VERSION OF IT,
• 15:51 THIS IS ACTUALLY ONE TO ONE SCALE OF THE SAME TEMPLE
• 15:54 WHICH WAS IN JERUSALEM 2,000 YEARS WHICH STOOD THERE.
• 15:58 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A BUILDING WHICH IS ABOUT 20 STORIES HIGH.
• 16:03 JUST THE ALTAR ITSELF IS FIVE METERS
• 16:06 AND IT'S A HUMONGOUS TASK,
• 16:08 IT'S AN UNBELIEVABLE TASK TO UNDERTAKE.
• 16:10 AND WE PLAN TO BUILD IT OVER HERE IN THIS MOUNTAIN.
• 16:13 YOU CAN SEE OVER HERE THE BLUEPRINTS FOR THE ALTAR ITSELF.
• 16:16 THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE MAIN PART OF THE WORK OF THE FIELD SCHOOL
• 16:20 BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE MOST OF THE WORK OF THE PRIESTS TOOK PLACE, WAS ON THE ALTAR ITSELF.
• 16:27 WE ALSO HAVE THE BLUEPRINTS OF THE TEMPLE ITSELF OF THE FIELD SCHOOL EXACTLY THE WAY IT WAS
• 16:34 SITUATED IN YERUSHALAYIM IN ITS PROPER PLACE.
• 16:36 WE READ THE BIBLE;
• 16:37 WE STUDY ABOUT KING DAVID AND HIS TIME PERIOD.
• 16:40 AND KING DAVID HIMSELF TALKED ABOUT
• 16:43 HOW CAN I LIVE
• 16:44 IN MY WELL ESTABLISHED HOUSE
• 16:46 WHEN THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD
• 16:47 IS A TENT?
• 16:48 AND WE SAY TO OURSELVES HOW COULD IT BE THAT HERE WE ARE,
• 16:51 WE ARE IN OUR WELL ESTABLISHED HOUSES TODAY
• 16:53 60 YEARS AFTER THE FACT
• 16:54 THAT THE JEWS HAVE RETURNED
• 16:55 TO THE LAND
• 16:57 AND WHERE IS
• 16:58 THE HOUSE OF GOD TODAY?
• 16:59 WHAT IS BEING DONE
• 17:00 TO THE HOUSE OF GOD?
• 17:01 AND WE HAVE NO ANSWER FOR THAT.
• 17:03 SO WE'RE TAKING CONCRETE STEPS
• 17:05 IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY
• 17:06 START THE PROCESS
• 17:07 OF THE THIRD TEMPLE RIGHT HERE.
• 17:09 FOR THE FIRST JEWS CAME HERE
• 17:10 TO ESTABLISH THE LAND,
• 17:11 IT WAS ALSO
• 17:12 THEY ROLLED UP THEIR SLEEVES
• 17:13 AND THEY ROLLED IN THE DIRT,
• 17:15 THEN THEY HAD TO MAKE ROADS
• 17:16 AND THEY HAD CONSTRUCT HOUSES.
• 17:18 EVERYTHING THAT HAD TO BE DONE WAS DONE
• 17:21 AND ONCE WE HAVE THIS BASE
• 17:23 THE NEXT NATURAL STEP IS REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE FOR GOD.
• 17:28 THE STORY OF THE TABERNACLE
• 17:31 IS AN ENDURING ONE
• 17:32 AND AS A BIBLE COLLEGE PROFESSOR
• 17:35 FOR 21 YEARS,
• 17:36 WHEN I GAVE STUDENTS THE
• 17:38 OPPORTUNITY TO WRITE TERM PAPERS
• 17:40 SO MANY CHRISTIAN STUDENTS
• 17:41 WANTED TO WRITE ABOUT THE MISHKAN,
• 17:43 THIS PORTABLE WORSHIP FACILITY,
• 17:46 THAT'S NOTED IN THE BOOK "SHEMOT" IN EXODUS
• 17:48 WHERE MOSHE RABBANI,
• 17:50 WHERE MOSES IS GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS TO MANUFACTURE THIS PORTABLE WORSHIP CENTER.
• 17:54 NOT ONLY THAT, BIBLE STUDENTS ARE INTERESTED
• 17:57 IN THE MORE PERMANENT FIXTURE THAT WAS ESTABLISHED WITH SOLOMON'S PARTICIPATION
• 18:02 AND LATER ON THE HERODIAN TEMPLE THAT EXISTED IN JESUS' DAY
• 18:06 WHICH WAS FELLED OF COURSE IN A.D. 70 THERE WAS A REVOLT.
• 18:11 THERE WAS A REVOLT AND WE HAVEN'T SEEN IT SINCE.
• 18:14 WELL SO MUCH FOR HISTORY.
• 18:17 TO SPEAK TO THE MOMENT,
• 18:19 AND LEVI CHAZAN HAS,
• 18:20 THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE BENT ON REBUILDING,
• 18:24 RE-ENGAGING THE STORY OF GOD AT WORK IN THE WORLD
• 18:30 MANIFEST THROUGH THE MISHKAN,
• 18:32 THROUGH THIS PORTABLE WORSHIP FACILITY.
• 18:35 I WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO TEACH ABOUT IT.
• 18:37 AND THE REASON WHY I WANT TO DO THAT
• 18:39 IS BECAUSE IT'S A STORY THAT HAS SOME 25 CHAPTERS ALLOCATED IN THE BIBLE.
• 18:45 THAT'S NO SMALL AMOUNT OF TEXT BY THE WAY, THE BIBLE WANTING TO GIVE VOICE TO GOD'S HOME.
• 18:50 AND THE RE-PRESENTATION OF INDIVIDUALS BENT ON WORKING IT UP AGAIN,
• 18:55 TO ME IS JUST SO VERY FASCINATING.
• 18:58 WELL TO LOOK AT THE FIRST STORY IN CHAPTER 25 OF EXODUS WE'RE TOLD,
• 19:14 AND WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE
• 19:16 IS THEY'RE GATHERING MONIES IN EFFECT
• 19:20 TO BUILD TOGETHER THIS WONDERFUL TESTIMONY.
• 19:25 AND WE'RE TOLD IN VERSE 8,
• 19:33 ITS INTERESTING,
• 19:34 BEHIND ME IS BETHLEHEM
• 19:35 AND THE DOCTRINE OF THE INCARNATION,
• 19:38 TO USE THE JOHANNINE GOSPEL,
• 19:40 THE GOSPEL OF JOHN,
• 19:41 WE'RE TOLD THAT THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND DWELT AMONG US,
• 19:44 THAT GOD IN EFFECT TOOK ON AN EARTH SUIT.
• 19:47 HE TOOK ON SOME KIND OF FORM THAT HUMANS CAN IDENTIFY WITH.
• 19:51 THAT'S THE ARGUMENT IN THE PERSON OF YESHUA, JESUS.
• 19:53 WELL THAT ARGUMENT ISN'T ENTIRELY NEW
• 19:56 BECAUSE WHEN WE LOOK IN THE HEBREW BIBLE
• 19:59 WE DISCOVER THAT GOD WANTS TO COME AND MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN VISUALLY IN SOME SENSE.
• 20:03 AND SO HE'S VERY DELIBERATE HERE, HE SAYS,
• 20:06 "LET THEM MAKE ME A SANCTUARY",
• 20:07 AND WHY IS THAT?
• 20:09 BECAUSE,
• 20:10 "I WANT TO DWELL AMONG THEM."
• 20:12 BUT HE'S VERY SPECIFIC IN VERSE 9,
• 20:23 IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE LORD WASN'T MINDED TO LET THEM EMPLOY
• 20:26 A LOT OF CREATIVE IMPOSITION ON THE STORY.
• 20:30 THERE'S A SPECIFIC WAY THAT GOD WANTED IT DONE.
• 20:34 WELL THE HEBREW BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THE WAY THAT IT'S TO BE DONE
• 20:37 AND THE MISHNAH EXPANDS ON THAT SOME
• 20:39 AND LETS INDIVIDUALS SEE HOW JEWS CONSTRUED IT.
• 20:42 THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS BY THE WAY THAT LEVI CHAZAN'S STORY IS SO VERY FASCINATING
• 20:46 BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING AT PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE HEBREW BIBLE ON THE ONE HAND,
• 20:50 THE JEWISH TRADITION ON THE OTHER
• 20:52 AND VERY METHODICALLY, VERY DETAILED ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN SHOWN
• 20:56 THEY'RE LOOKING STEP BY STEP BY STEP TO PARTICIPATE IN THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE.
• 21:03 NOW FOR THOSE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN JESUS
• 21:05 THIS IS A FASCINATING STORY
• 21:06 BECAUSE JESUS' SECOND COMING IS CONNECTED.
• 21:09 JESUS REAPPEARANCE ON THE STAGE OF THE HUMAN DRAMA
• 21:12 IS PLAYED OUT AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF A WORLD WHERE THERE'S A RE-BUILT TEMPLE.
• 21:16 THERE'S A VARIETY OF REASONS WHY I SAY THAT.
• 21:18 I'M NOT GOING TO EXPLORE IT MUCH HERE AS I GO OUT ON THIS SEGMENT.
• 21:22 BUT JUST SO YOU KNOW YOU HEARD IT FROM ME
• 21:24 THAT THE RE-PRESENTATION OF TEMPLE WORSHIP IS INDEED SIGNIFICANT.
• 21:28 IN FACT YOUR PARTICIPATION WITH US IS SIGNIFICANT IN MY MIND'S EYE AS WELL.
• 21:35 YOU KNOW THAT LEVI CHAZAN AND INDIVIDUALS AT THE TEMPLE INSTITUTE
• 21:39 AND THOSE THAT ARE ENGAGED IN ALL OF THIS
• 21:41 ARE RELYING UPON FUNDS FROM ALL OVER THE JEWISH WORLD TO HELP RESURRECT THAT STORY.
• 21:45 SIMILARLY...
• 21:46 AND I'LL TELL YOU THIS IN A MOMENT...
• 21:48 THAT WE NEED FUNDS AS WELL
• 21:50 TO HELP TELL TO THE STORY
• 21:52 OF GOD AT WORK IN THE WORLD
• 21:53 OVER IN THE STATES
• 21:54 IN OUR OWN UNIQUE
• 21:55 ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES WAY.
• 21:57 WELL WE LIVE IN INTERESTING TIMES DON'T WE?
• 21:59 AND THE FACT THAT THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS HERE IN ISRAEL
• 22:01 BENT ON REBUILDING THE TEMPLE
• 22:04 AND TRAINING UP TO SERVICE ON THE "MITZBE'ACH", ON THE ALTAR,
• 22:07 TELLS ME WE'RE LIVING IN VERY INTERESTING TIMES.
• 22:10 I'M PLEASED TO BE HERE TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THOSE TIMES
• 22:13 AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY.
• 22:26 WE HAD OVER 80 NATIONS REPRESENTED AT THIS YEAR'S FEAST,
• 22:29 MORE THAN 5,000 CHRISTIAN.
• 22:30 YOU MENTIONED 700 - 800 BRAZILIANS,
• 22:34 I THINK YOU ALSO HAVE TO TIP YOUR HAT TO COUNTRIES LIKE NORWAY AND FINLAND
• 22:39 AND FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD...
• 22:40 FROM AFRICA, FROM ASIA ...
• 22:41 WE HAD FLAGS FROM HONG KONG,
• 22:43 FROM THAILAND, LOVELY GROUP...
• 22:45 FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
• 22:47 THESE ARE CHRISTIANS WHO COME UP FOR A DYNAMIC WORSHIP EXPERIENCE,
• 22:50 THE VERY PROFOUND BIBLE TEACHING THAT WE HAVE.
• 22:52 BUT MOST OF ALL THEY WANT TO GO OUT IN THE JERUSALEM MARCH EACH YEAR
• 22:56 AND EXPRESS THEIR LOVE TO ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE OUT ON THE STREETS.
• 23:01 THAT'S OUR BELIEF THAT THERE WILL BE ONE TEMPLE.
• 23:04 THAT'S WHAT WE YEARN FOR...
• 23:06 THAT'S WHAT WE PRAY FOR EVERY SINGLE DAY...
• 23:07 THAT THERE WILL BE A REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE.
• 23:09 WE FEEL THAT IT'S CLOSER AS THE TIMES BECOME MORE DIFFICULT.
• 23:12 AND WHAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED OVER HERE,
• 23:16 WHAT WILL BE ON THIS PREMISES
• 23:18 IS A FIELD SCHOOL
• 23:20 THAT IS GOING TO BE THE
• 23:22 PREPARATIONS FOR THE BEGINNING
• 23:23 OF THE THIRD TEMPLE.
• 23:25 THE TIME IS COMING VERY CLOSE
• 23:26 THAT GOD
• 23:28 AND MESSIAH HAS COME HIMSELF
• 23:30 TO HELP RESOLVE THESE PROBLEMS.
• 23:34 WELL THERE YOU GO.
• 23:35 I'VE SHOWED YOU SOME OF WHAT WE'VE DONE IN 2010.
• 23:39 NOW I WANT TO SHOW YOU A SEGMENT IN A MOMENT
• 23:41 OF WHAT WE'RE COOKING UP FOR 2011.
• 23:44 WE FILMED IT AT THE END OF 2010
• 23:46 BUT IT TAKES AWHILE TO GO THROUGH THE EDITORIAL PROCESS.
• 23:49 IT'S A SERIES THAT IS REALLY DEAR TO MY HEART
• 23:52 AND I'M SURE IT'LL BE DEAR TO MANY OF YOURS
• 23:55 AND I WANT IT TO BE DEAR TO THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE A LITTLE CLUELESS OF WHAT'S THAT.
• 23:59 I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE LAND OF ISRAEL AND GOD'S PLANS FOR THE PEOPLE AND THE PLACE.
• 24:06 AND I WANT TO DO THIS IN PART TO COUNTER-BALANCE THE INSANITY.
• 24:11 IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IN THE CONTEST FOR PUBLIC OPINION,
• 24:14 TRUTH IS THE FIRST CASUALTY OF THAT WAR.
• 24:18 AND THE WAY JEWS ARE FOREVER LAMBASTED,
• 24:21 THE WAY ISRAEL'S DRUG THROUGH THE MUD,
• 24:23 FRANKLY I FIND IT HORRIFIC.
• 24:26 AND SO WITH YOUR HELP...
• 24:27 YOUR DONATIONS HELPED US
• 24:29 TO GET HERE...
• 24:30 AND WE WENT ALL ABOUT THE LAND
• 24:31 WITH AN OPEN BIBLE.
• 24:33 WE INTERVIEWED INDIVIDUALS,
• 24:34 WE HAD MEDIA CORRESPONDENTS
• 24:36 SPEAK TO US AS WELL
• 24:38 AND ITS ALL ABOUT GIVING
• 24:39 SOME BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE ON
• 24:41 THE WORLD THAT WE ARE LIVING IN.
• 24:43 AND EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT LIVING HERE, YOU'RE SEEING IT.
• 24:46 ITS AMAZING HOW ISRAEL'S SO SMALL
• 24:48 BUT THE ATTENTION IT OCCUPIES IN THE WORLD IS SO LARGE.
• 24:52 OFF WE GO NOW TO LOOK AT SOME SEGMENTS FOR OUR SERIES
• 24:55 THAT WILL BE AIRING IN 2011
• 24:57 CALLED "ERETZ, ISRAEL: THE LAND OF ISRAEL".
• 25:09 WHEN WE LOOK IN THE BIBLICAL TEXT
• 25:11 WE KNOW THAT GOD GAVE THE LAND OF ISRAEL TO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL
• 25:15 AND THEY HAD TO GO CONTEND FOR IT.
• 25:16 WE'RE AT THE SOUTHERN END OF THE GOLAN HEIGHTS
• 25:19 WHERE WE HAVE INTENSE BATTLES IN 1967.
• 25:22 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SYRIA BEING JUST A FEW MILES HERE.
• 25:24 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT JORDAN BEING RIGHT BEHIND US HERE AS WELL.
• 25:28 JOSHUA TURNED THEM BACK
• 25:30 AND HE TOOK HAZOR AND HE STRUCK ITS KING WITH THE SWORD
• 25:35 AND OH MY WORD FRIENDS
• 25:37 THERE WAS QUITE A BATTLE THAT WAS FOUGHT HERE.
• 25:41 IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S PROPHESY BEING FULFILLED
• 25:43 WITH ISRAEL EMERGING AMIDST ALL THESE TENSIONS.
• 25:46 THE SYRIANS DEMANDING THAT ISRAEL EVACUATE THIS PLATEAU.
• 25:50 THERE IS PIECES AS I'D SAID BETWEEN JORDAN AND ISRAEL
• 25:52 BUT CERTAINLY NOT THIS OTHER ONE
• 25:54 AND WHERE IT WILL END UP WE DON'T KNOW
• 25:55 BUT THE FACT THAT WE'RE AT A BASE
• 25:57 AND THESE GUYS ARE ON THE LOOK OUT ALL THE TIME
• 25:59 JUST ILLUSTRATES THAT THAT BATTLE STILL GOES ON.
• 26:02 THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL HAVE HAD CONTEND FOR LIFE
• 26:05 EVER SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THEIR NATIONAL LIFE.
• 26:08 IT'S A STORY THAT BEGAN YESTERDAY,
• 26:11 IT'S A STORY THAT'S PLAYED OUT TODAY
• 26:14 AND IT'S A STORY THAT HAS PROPHETIC IMPORT FOR TOMORROW.
• 26:21 MOST MINISTRIES THAT DO TELEVISION
• 26:23 BRING THE CAMERAS IN TO THEIR WORLD;
• 26:26 TYPICALLY A SANCTUARY
• 26:27 AND YOU HAVE A DYNAMIC BIBLE
• 26:28 TEACHER THAT WAXES ELOQUENT
• 26:30 WITH A BIBLE IN ONE HAND
• 26:32 AND SPEAKING FORCEFULLY BEHIND A PULPIT.
• 26:34 I'M ALL GOOD TO GO WITH THAT...
• 26:36 I'M NOT BEGINNING WITH A CRITICISM.
• 26:37 I'M JUST TRYING TO SAY
• 26:39 WE DON'T BRING YOU INTO OUR WORLD WITH CAMERAS,
• 26:41 WE BRING YOU INTO THE WORLD
• 26:43 AND NOT ONLY THE WORLD AT LARGE
• 26:44 BUT THE CENTER OF THE WORLD
• 26:46 AND THAT IS ISRAEL.
• 26:47 AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING,
• 26:49 ITS NOT CHEAP DOING IT.
• 26:52 AS YOU MIGHT WELL IMAGINE
• 26:53 TO BRING FILM CREWS
• 26:54 ALL ACROSS THE WORLD
• 26:55 AND THE FILMING, THE EDITING,
• 26:58 IT'S VERY, VERY EXPENSIVE.
• 27:00 YOU KNOW PEOPLE SAY JEWS ARE
• 27:02 ALL ABOUT GOING AFTER THE MONEY
• 27:04 BUT IF YOU'VE BEEN
• 27:05 FOLLOWING US AT ALL
• 27:06 YOU KNOW FULL WELL
• 27:07 WE NEVER DO IT.
• 27:09 FOR ME FUND RAISING
• 27:10 IS NOT "FUN" RAISING
• 27:11 BUT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS
• 27:12 THOUGH IT'S NOT A LOT OF FUN
• 27:14 SOMEONE'S GOT TO DO IT.
• 27:15 AND USUALLY
• 27:16 AT THE END OF THE YEAR
• 27:17 IS THE TIME WHEN WE DO DO IT.
• 27:18 AND I NEED YOUR HELP
• 27:19 TO TELL THIS KIND OF STORY
• 27:21 BECAUSE THIS ISN'T A "ME" THING,
• 27:23 IT'S A "WE" THING.
• 27:24 AND IF THIS RESONATES
• 27:25 IN YOUR HEART
• 27:26 I'M SIMPLY AN EXTENSION
• 27:28 OF PASSIONS THAT
• 27:29 RESONATE WITHIN IN YOU.
• 27:30 AND IF ITS THERE IN THE HEART
• 27:32 PLEASE AS AN EXTENSION
• 27:33 OF WHAT'S IN YOUR HEART,
• 27:35 NOT CAJOLED BY ME
• 27:36 BUT AS AN EXTENSION

• 27:48 TOGETHER WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO
• 27:50 IS COUNTER-BALANCE
• 27:51 THE INSANITY IN THIS WORLD.
