• 00:02 HELLO, I'M ZOLA LEVITT.
• 00:04   ON TODAY'S PROGRAM,  WE'RE GOING TO GO TO >>   OPPOSITE ENDS OF ISRAEL.
• 00:07   WE'LL START AT THE  SOUTH SHORES OF THE DEAD SEA.
• 00:10  AND LATER ON,  WE'LL PROGRESS NORTH
• 00:12 TO THE GREEN HILLS OF GALILEE.
• 00:15 AND BOTH PLACES, WE'LL SEE A WONDERFUL KIND OF HEALING
• 00:19 AVAILABLE IN THE PROMISED LAND.
• 00:24    [ music playing ]
• 00:59  SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN.
• 01:01   WELCOME BACK TO OUR     "THIS IS ISRAEL" SERIES.
• 01:03 WE ARE DOING THIS TO SHOW ISRAEL THE BEAUTIFUL, POSITIVE COUNTRY
• 01:07    IT REALLY IS AND NOT THE >>  ONE PORTRAYED BY THE MEDIA.
• 01:10  IT'S REALLY A PLACE OF BEAUTY AND A PLACE OF HEALING.
• 01:14    PEOPLE COME HERE FOR ITS >> REJUVENATING CHARACTERISTICS
• 01:18 AND THAT'S OUR EMPHASIS   ON TODAY'S PROGRAM.
• 01:21   LATER ON, WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THE GREEN HILLS OF GALILEE.
• 01:24   BUT FIRST, WE'LL BE IN THE  SOUTHERN PART OF THE COUNTRY.
• 01:26    LET ME ORIENT YOU A BIT.
• 01:28  ISRAEL IS, OF COURSE,   ON THE MEDITERRANEAN COAST.
• 01:30   RUNS UP AND DOWN LIKE THIS.
• 01:32    HERE'S THE SEA OF GALILEE >>   AND HERE'S THE DEAD SEA.
• 01:35    AND THE YELLOW LINES THAT  WE'VE DRAWN ARE THE SO-CALLED
• 01:39   WEST BANK, THAT IS   BIBLICAL JUDEA AND SAMARIA.
• 01:43 AND GAZA WHERE ARAFAT'S GOVERNMENT AND  THE PALESTINIANS ARE LOCATED.
• 01:49  AND ON THIS PROGRAM,   WE'LL GO FROM HERE,
• 01:52    THE SOUTHERN SHORE OF THE    DENSITY ALL THE WAY UP TO
• 01:55 PRACTICALLY THE NORTHERN BORDER,  NORTH OF THE SEA OF GALILEE.
• 01:59   AND WE WILL SEE PEOPLE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SPECIAL HEALING
• 02:03    AND REJUVENATING FEATURES   OF THIS VERY SPECIAL LAND.
• 02:17 TO MANY PEOPLE,   ISRAEL IS A COLUMNS  LIKE THESE PILLARS BEHIND ME.
• 02:21    OLD ROMAN RUINS.
• 02:23 SIGNS OF GREATER TIMES,  BETTER DAYS.
• 02:25 BUT YOU KNOW, I HAVE GOOD NEWS.
• 02:27 ISRAEL IS ALSO A PLACE OF GREAT   BEAUTY, A PLACE OF HEALING.
• 02:32 BEHIND ME IS A POOL OF    DEAD SEA WATER AND WE ARE
• 02:36 IN A SPA OF A FINE RESORT HOTEL
• 02:38  DOWN BY THE DEAD SEA,  ON THE SHORE.
• 02:41  PEOPLE COME HERE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR
• 02:43 THE BEAUTY AND FOR THE HEALING.
• 02:45   THIS IS A BIBLICAL   BORDER ORIGINALLY.
• 02:48 LISTEN TO WHAT GOD SAID    FROM THE BOOK OF NUMBERS:
• 03:30   AND THAT IS THE DEAD SEA IN  BIBLE LANGUAGE, THE SALT SEA.
• 03:33   AND INDEED, THIS IS ONE OF   THE SALTIEST SEAS ON EARTH
• 03:36  AND WE ARE AT   THE LOWEST POINT ON EARTH.
• 03:40   ON THE WHOLE WORLD  THERE IS NOT A DEEPER VALLEY
• 03:42 THAN THIS 1300 FOOT RIFT, THAT  IS 1300 FEET BELOW SEA LEVEL.
• 03:48   THE RIFT WAS MADE  IN THE LAND EVIDENTLY BY
• 03:51  AN EARTHQUAKE ABOUT A MILLION YEARS AGO.
• 03:54  NOW, IF YOU    HAVE A PROBLEM
• 03:55    WITH A MILLION  YEARS IN THE BIBLE,
• 03:57 THEN YOU NEED TO SEE   OUR PROGRAMS WITH DR. GERALD SCHROEDER
• 04:00  WHO EXPLAINED TO US >>HOW THE SIX DAYS OF CREATION
• 04:05 AND THE 15 BILLION YEARS >>THE COSMOLOGIST FOUND IN THE
• 04:07 UNIVERSE WERE >>REALLY THE SAME TIME PERIOD.
• 04:10   AND A MILLION YEARS AGO TO  PROFESSOR SCHROEDER WOULD BE
• 04:12 WELL IN THE AGE    OF MEN ON EARTH AND SO ON
• 04:15 AND WOULD ALSO BE WITHIN THE SIX DAYS.
• 04:17  IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT,
• 04:19  WRITE TO ME AND ASK ME AND I  WILL SEND YOU SOME MATERIALS.
• 04:22   IN ANY CASE, THE VALLEY WAS CAUSED BY AN EARTHQUAKE AND NOW,
• 04:27  IT HAS COLLECTED A KIND OF A SALTY, SALTY WATER BECAUSE THERE
• 04:33   IS A DEEP HILL THAT  RUNS DOWN HERE FROM GALILEE.
• 04:36 THE WATER STARTS OUT IN    MT. HERMON IN THE >>   NORTHERN GALILEE
• 04:39 ACTUALLY, IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF LEBANON ON A HIGH MOUNTAIN,
• 04:44 THE SNOW MELTS AND GOES   DOWN TO THE SEA OF GALILEE.
• 04:46  THEN IT GOES DOWN THE JORDAN RIVER,
• 04:48 ALWAYS FALLING DOWNHILL  INTO THIS DEEP VALLEY
• 04:51    AND WHEN IT GETS >>  DOWN AS FAR AS THE DEAD SEA
• 04:54   AND HAS PICKED UP THE SALT  AND THE MINERALS THAT HAS RUN
• 04:59 THROUGH THE WINDING JORDAN RIVER   ALL THE WAY TO THE DEAD SEA
• 05:02    UNTIL IT GETS TO THE SEA >>AND IN EFFECT, IT DIES.
• 05:06    NOW, THERE IS A WONDERFUL ANALOGY OF THE LORD'S MINISTRY
• 05:11   IN THAT VERY IMAGE.
• 05:12 THE LORD COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN,
• 05:14 FROM HIS FATHER'S HOUSE  TO OUR HOUSE;
• 05:16    THAT IS THE SNOW >>FALLING ON MT. HERMON,
• 05:19  AND PURE AND FRESH AND CLEAR.
• 05:22 AND THE WATER RUNS DOWN   THROUGH THE SEA OF GALILEE,
• 05:24 VERY MUCH ALIVE, FULL OF FISH;
• 05:26   THAT IS THE >>   LORD'S EARTHLY MINISTRY.
• 05:28   HE MADE HIS    DISCIPLES FISHERS OF MEN.
• 05:31   AND THEN THE WATER PROCEEDS >>   DOWN THROUGH THE VALLEY,
• 05:35   THE TWISTING JORDAN RIVER,
• 05:36   PICKING UP THE SALT   OF THE EARTH - US,
• 05:39 "YE ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH,"  THE SCRIPTURES SAID.
• 05:42    JESUS SAID THAT.
• 05:44   AND THE MINERALS AND SO ON,
• 05:45 UNTIL IT GETS ALL THE WAY DOWN   INTO THAT DEEP, DEEP VALLEY
• 05:48 AND IT IS SO SALTY THAT  NOTHING COULD BE ALIVE THERE.
• 05:52 AND IT IS THE IMAGE OF   JESUS DESCENDING INTO HELL.
• 05:56 AS THE SCRIPTURE SAID,   HE WENT TO MAKE THE   [ speaking Hebrew ],
• 05:59    THE PROCLAMATION IN HELL >>  THAT THE CROSS WAS
• 06:02  A TRIUMPHANT VICTORY    AND NOT A DEFEAT FOR GOD.
• 06:04  AND SO THE WATER GOES  DOWN TO THE DEAD SEA.
• 06:07    BUT IT IS >>   IN A LAND-LOCKED SYSTEM.
• 06:09   IT EVAPORATES AGAIN AND THE PREVAILING WINDS BLOW IT UP INTO
• 06:12 THE NORTH AND IT FALLS AGAIN ON  MT. HERMON AND SO IT KEEPS ON  GOING AROUND.
• 06:19    THE SALT CONTENT >>IN THE DEAD SEA IS 25 PERCENT.
• 06:22 THAT'S 10 TIMES  MORE THAN THE OCEAN.
• 06:25    I WAS IN SALT LAKE CITY, >>WE HAVE A GREAT SALT LAKE THERE.
• 06:28    OH, YOU CAN DRINK   IT COMPARED TO THIS WATER.
• 06:31 THAT'S ABOUT, I THINK, FOUR PERCENT, SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE.
• 06:34    BUT IN ANY CASE,   THERE'S 50 PERCENT    MORE BROMINE IN THIS SEA.
• 06:39  EVERYBODY FEELS GOOD >>   DOWN HERE BECAUSE BROMINE
• 06:41   IS AN INGREDIENT IN VALIUM    AND IT IS IN THE AIR HERE
• 06:44   AND IT TRANQUILIZES  EVERYBODY, THEY SAY.
• 06:47  THERE IS 15 TIMES THE MAGNESIUM HERE FOUND IN THE OCEAN.
• 06:54 AND YOU ARE BREATHING, >>  WHEN YOU ARE HERE,
• 06:56   THE PUREST AIR IN THE WORLD.
• 06:59  THERE'S NO QUESTION OF THAT.
• 07:00  THERE'S NO BACTERIA.
• 07:01  THERE'S NOTHING HERE.
• 07:02 THERE'S NOTHING   AT ALL IN THE AIR.
• 07:04  AND YOU CAN SEE MORE  STARS STANDING IN THE DESERT
• 07:07  BY THE DEAD SEA THAN   ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD.
• 07:09 THERE'S NOTHING IN THE   AIR TO INTERRUPT YOUR VIEW.
• 07:12  WELL, THE HERODIANS,  PHARMACOLOGIST, PEOPLE IN THE
• 07:17 TIMES OF KING HEROD, CAME DOWN HERE AND THEY CULTIVATED PLANS
• 07:19   TO MAKE DRUGS AND  PHARMACEUTICALS JUST AS WE MAKE THEM TODAY.
• 07:24    THE NABATEANS WHO >>   LIVED NEAR HERE,
• 07:27 THEY BUILT THE WONDERFUL PETRA, THE MONUMENT, BUILDINGS CARVED
• 07:34  INTO SOLID ROCK WHICH  OUR TOURS ALWAYS GO TO VISIT.
• 07:37    AND THEIR PEOPLE >>  DROVE THROUGH HERE
• 07:41 AND THEY SAW THE DEAD SEA WATERS  AND THEY SAW THE BITUMEN RISE
• 07:44 TO THE SURFACE   LIKE AN OIL SLICK,
• 07:47   AND THEY SOLD THIS    BITUMEN TO THE EGYPTIANS,
• 07:50  THE MASTER EMBALMERS   IN ANCIENT DAYS WHO USED IT
• 07:53  IN THEIR EMBALMING PRACTICES TO WRAP THEIR MUMMIES.
• 07:56 AND THE NABATEANS MADE A REGULAR BUSINESS OF TAKING THE MINERALS
• 07:59    THERE AND IN THAT MANNER, >>   IN A SENSE, IT WAS STILL
• 08:03  A HEALING PLACE IN A  PHARMALOGICAL PLACE.
• 08:05 WE'LL BE BACK RIGHT AFTER THIS.
• 08:22    "THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD,   I SHALL GATHER YOU FROM THE
• 08:26 "PEOPLES AND ASSEMBLE YOU OUT OF THE COUNTRIES WHERE YOU HAVE
• 08:29    "BEEN SCATTERED AND I WILL   GIVE YOU THE LAND OF ISRAEL,
• 08:33   "THE WILDERNESS AND >>    DRY LAND SHALL BE GLAD.
• 08:37    "THE DESERT SHALL REJOICE     AND BLOSSOM AS THE ROSE.
• 08:40   "YOU SHALL KNOW THAT    I AM THE LORD WHEN I BRING
• 08:44 "YOU INTO THE LAND OF ISRAEL."
• 08:49 THAT'S ISRAEL AS WE SEE IT AND  WE SEE A LOT OF IT AND WE SEE
• 08:52   THE DEAD SEA ON EVERY TRIP.
• 08:54  IN FACT, OUR PEOPLE GO IN THE WATER.
• 08:55    THE WATER THAT'S >>IN THIS POOL BEHIND ME.
• 08:58    THIS HOTEL'S ON THE SHORE >>   AND THEY BRING THE WATER
• 09:00 FROM THE SEA INTO THE HOTEL FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF THE GUESTS.
• 09:04  AND THEY LAY OUT HERE ON THE WATER.
• 09:07  I SAY IT THAT WAY BECAUSE YOU
• 09:09  CAN'T SINK IN   THE WATER OF THE DEAD SEA.
• 09:10 YOU FLOAT LIKE A CORK.
• 09:12  THE WATER IS SO SALTY  AND SO DENSE
• 09:14   THAT YOU REALLY CAN'T SINK.
• 09:16  AS A MATTER OF FACT, THEY RENT A NECK PILLOW FOR YOU
• 09:19 SO YOU CAN LIE BACK ON THE WATER AND READ A NEWSPAPER,
• 09:22   AND IF YOU TRY IT,   YOU'LL SEE THAT I'M RIGHT.
• 09:24 IT'S AN AMAZING PLACE.
• 09:26    A SPIRITUAL PLACE BESIDES   A KIND OF A HEALING PLACE.
• 09:30  JEREMIAH SAYS THIS IN JEREMIAH 33:6,
• 09:48   GOD REMEMBERS HOW WHEN HIS >>   PEOPLE STARTED OUT HERE,
• 09:51    THEY LIVED IN THE DESERT.
• 09:53 THE ISRAELIS STARTED AS NOMADS;    ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB WERE HERDSMEN.
• 09:58   RATHER LIKE  THE BEDOUIN OF TODAY.
• 10:00 THE BEDOUIN ARE ROUGHLY   EQUAL TO AMERICAN INDIANS.
• 10:03   THEY LIVE IN TENTS.
• 10:04 THEY MOVE FROM PLACE TO PLACE.
• 10:06    THEY KEEP FLOCKS.
• 10:07  THEY ARE LAND PEOPLE.
• 10:11 THEY REALLY UNDERSTAND THE LAND.
• 10:13    AND THE ISRAELIS >> STARTED OUT THAT WAY.
• 10:17 AND THEN, OF COURSE, THEY DID 40 YEARS WANDERING IN THE DESERT.
• 10:20    THEY HAD TO HAVE >> TOTAL RELIANCE ON GOD
• 10:22 WHEN THEY WERE OUT IN THE SINAI.
• 10:25   THIS JUDEAN DESERT IS HARSH ENOUGH, BUT THE SINAI,
• 10:27    IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO   SURVIVE ONE MONTH LET ALONE
• 10:32 40 YEARS WITHOUT HEALINGS FROM GOD AND HEALINGS FROM THE EARTH.
• 10:39  IN JOHN, WE READ A LOT ABOUT JESUS' HEALINGS AND HOW HE WAS
• 10:45   RAISED UP LIKE THE SERPENT.
• 10:48    AND THE PEOPLE IN THIS --   IN THIS KIND OF TERRITORY,
• 10:53 DEPEND ON THE HEALING,  LIKE WHEN THE SERPENT  WAS RAISED UP THE WILDERNESS.
• 10:59  THE ORIGINAL RECHABITES,    THESE WERE PEOPLE THAT LIVED
• 11:02   DOWN IN THE WILDERNESS,   HERE IN ISRAEL,
• 11:04  WHO WERE PRE-DATED THE ESSENES.
• 11:07 WE KNOW THE ESSENES BECAUSE
• 11:08    THEY CREATED    THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS.
• 11:10   THEY ARE WHAT WE THINK    OF AS THE WILDERNESS PEOPLE.
• 11:13 BUT THERE WERE >>   MORE ORIGINAL ABORIGINAL
• 11:16  WILDERNESS PEOPLE THAN THOSE.
• 11:17    THE RECHABITES CAME DOWN >>HERE TO BE IN DIRECT COMMUNION
• 11:20   WITH GOD AND EXPERIENCE THE SPIRITUAL HEALING OF THE DESERT.
• 11:25 THEY WERE DOWN HERE WORKING WITH SCROLLS AND WORSHIPING GOD VERY
• 11:30   DIRECTLY AND THEN, THE ESSENES HAVE CAME.
• 11:34 AND THEN PEOPLE   BUILT MONASTERIES.
• 11:37 THERE ARE GREEK MONASTERIES AND CATHOLIC MONASTERIES AND SO ON.
• 11:40 MONKS GO HERE TO HAVE A PLACE TO CONCENTRATE AWAY FROM THE WORLD,
• 11:44  AWAY FROM THE NOISE.
• 11:46 THE MOUNT OF TEMPTATION IS HERE   IN THE VALLEY NEAR JERICHO   NOT FAR FROM HERE.
• 11:51    THERE THE LORD WAS TAKEN >>   AND TEMPTED OF THE DEVIL.
• 11:54 THE SCAPEGOAT THAT THE ISRAELITE    NATION LET GO ONCE A YEAR
• 11:58 FROM THE TEMPLE ON THE DAY OF ATONEMENT
• 12:00 WAS LEFT OUT IN THIS WILDERNESS,
• 12:03   OUT HERE AROUND THE    DEAD SEA TO DO AS IT MAY.
• 12:06  IT WAS A SIGN OF THE THAT GOD  COULD KEEP THIS GOAT ALIVE IF
• 12:11  THAT'S WHAT GOD CHOSE >>   WITH THE HEALING
• 12:13 OF THE DESERT AND THE DEAD SEA.
• 12:16   THIS IS NOT VERY SPIRITUAL, BUT THE ISRAELIS ARE PROMOTING
• 12:19 WHAT THEY CALL  THE "GREAT EMBRACE."
• 12:22 THEY ARE TRYING TO GET A HUNDRED  THOUSAND PEOPLE TO HOLD HANDS
• 12:25   AROUND THE ENTIRE DEAD SEA.
• 12:28   IF YOU CAN IMAGINE.
• 12:29  THAT'S A VERY GREAT DISTANCE.
• 12:30  AND THAT WILL  PROMOTE SOME SORT OF HEALING.
• 12:33   IN REALITY,  THOSE PEOPLE WILL FEEL BETTER
• 12:35  WHEN THEY ARE DONE BREATHING
• 12:37    THIS PURE AIR AND   THIS BROMINE AND SO FORTH,
• 12:39    BUT AS TO WHETHER IT WILL HEAL THE PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD,
• 12:43   WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.
• 12:44    THE MEDICINAL PROPERTIES >> OF THE DESERT ARE WELL KNOWN
• 12:48 AND WE READ ABOUT THEM.
• 12:50 OUT IN THE WILDERNESS, IN NUMBERS 21:8 AND 9,
• 12:55    THE SERPENT IS RAISED UP >>ON THE STICK IN THE WILDERNESS
• 12:58   AND THE PEOPLE LOOK >>   UPON IT WHO ARE POISONED
• 13:01 AND THEY ARE MADE WELL.
• 13:04 AND THIS SYMBOL,  THE SERPENT ON THE TREE
• 13:06   IS THE MEDICAL SYMBOL  THAT WE USE IN AMERICA.
• 13:10  YOU'VE SEEN IT.
• 13:12   AND WE'RE CALLED TO STILL LOOK   UPON THAT RAISED UP FIGURE
• 13:18  WHEN WE CONSIDER THE  MINISTRY OF THE LORD HIMSELF.
• 13:21   CONSIDER JOHN 3:14.
• 13:36   THE LORD ON A TREE IS LIKE SIN CRUCIFIED,
• 13:40   THE SERPENT ON THE   TREE THAT MOSES RAISED UP.
• 13:42 THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES.
• 13:44 AND IN THE NEXT VERSE.
• 13:45  IF YOU HAVE EVER SEEN AN NFL GAME --
• 13:54  THAT'S THE FAMOUS JOHN 3:16.
• 13:56  AND SOMEONE'S ALWAYS HOLDING IT UP ON A SIGN
• 13:58   AT THOSE ATHLETIC CONTESTS.
• 14:00  AND FURTHER, IN JOHN 12:31,
• 14:04   YOU KNOW, THE LORD  HAS JUST COME INTO JERUSALEM.
• 14:07   HE'S JUST COME OVER   THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
• 14:09   AND HE'S RIDING THE DONKEY.
• 14:11   AND THERE'S QUITE A SCENE.
• 14:14 SOME REALIZE WHO IT IS.
• 14:22   HIS ENTRY INTO JERUSALEM AS  PROPHESIED FROM DAYS OF OLD.
• 14:25    AND THOSE WHO HAD  READ THEIR SCRIPTURES >>   AND READ THE PROPHECIES,
• 14:28   UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS  HAPPENING BEFORE THEIR EYES.
• 14:30    BUT THEN IT SAYS.
• 14:38 ON THAT DAY, MAYBE 10,000 PEOPLE
• 14:41    WAVED THOSE PALM BRANCHES ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
• 14:43  WHEN THE PASTOR SAYS  THE JEWS MISSED THE MESSIAH,
• 14:46   HE MUST NOT HAVE READ THE CHAPTER,
• 14:48  BECAUSE THOSE 10,000  PEOPLE WERE JEWS OF JERUSALEM
• 14:51 WHO GREETED THE MESSIAH  AS THE KING WHO WAS TO COME.
• 14:55    WHO SAID,   [ speaking Hebrew ]
• 14:57   "BLESSED IT HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD."
• 15:01  AND YOU KNOW,   MATTHEW 21 PICTURES
• 15:05   TWO GROUPS OF    JERUSALEM CITIZENS.
• 15:07    ONE GROUP SAYS, "THIS IS >>  THE KING WHO WAS TO COME."
• 15:12   AND THE SECOND GROUP SAYS,
• 15:14  "IS THIS NOT >>   THE PROPHET OF GALILEE?"
• 15:17    WHAT AN UNDERESTIMATION.
• 15:19   THIS FELLAH THAT DOES THE WONDERS.
• 15:21  THAT WALKS ON WATER THEY SAY,   THAT HEALS THE SICK
• 15:23  AND RAISES THE DEAD THEY SAY,
• 15:25 LET'S GO SEE THE SHOW.
• 15:27 THOSE TWO GROUPS OF PEOPLE ARE   STILL ALIVE IN THIS WORLD.
• 15:30 IT'S STILL ALIVE IN THE CHURCH.
• 15:31 THOSE THAT SEE HIM AS THE KING
• 15:34 AND THOSE THAT MERELY SEE HIM AS A CURIOSITY.
• 15:51  LIFTED UP LIKE THAT SERPENT.
• 15:52  AND THIS HE SAID, SIGNIFYING    WHAT DEATH HE SHOULD DIE.
• 15:55  AND HE WAS, IN FACT,  CRUCIFIED ON A TREE.
• 15:58    YOU KNOW, IN THAT SCENE,
• 15:59  HE ALMOST GETS A CUE FROM HEAVEN TO DO WHAT HE DID.
• 16:03 JUST AFTER THE   PHARISEE'S REMARK IT SAYS,
• 16:32  IT'S AS IF IT'S A SIGNAL THAT   WHEN THE GREEKS ARE COMING,
• 16:36   WHEN THE FOREIGN PEOPLE ARE    COMING TO HEAR THE GOSPEL
• 16:39 THEN IT'S TIME  TO LEAVE IT TO THE APOSTLES.
• 16:41  HE HAS DONE HIS WORK, BECAUSE  HIS WORK IS CIRCUMSCRIBED IN
• 16:45  JOHN CHAPTER 10:5, 6.
• 16:48  "I AM COME ONLY UNTO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL."
• 16:52   AND SO WHEN THE LORD IS LIFTED UP,
• 16:54 HIS MISSION IS COMPLETELY DONE.
• 16:57 I WILL NEVER FORGOT THAT VERSE,   BECAUSE I ONCE PREACHED IN
• 16:59  AN EPISCOPAL CHURCH,   A GIGANTIC CHURCH,
• 17:02  I WAS ALMOST AFRAID TO TALK,   THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE.
• 17:05 AND IT WAS ONE OF THOSE PULPITS >>   RAISED OFF OF THE FLOOR,
• 17:08 WHERE YOU LOOK   DOWN AT THE CROWD.
• 17:09  AND I FELT FUNNY ABOUT THAT.
• 17:11  AND I WENT UP PRACTICING THE    FIRST LINES OF MY MESSAGE
• 17:14 TO GET IT JUST PERFECT.
• 17:16    AND WHEN I GOT UP THERE,    I LOOKED AT THE AUDIENCE
• 17:18    AND BEHIND THE FACADE OF >> THIS GIANT SPEAKER'S ROSTRUM
• 17:22 WAS A LITTLE WOODEN CROSS AND ON   THERE WAS CARVED THE WORDS,
• 17:25   "SIR, WE WOULD SEE JESUS."
• 17:35 TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT  THE HEALING ASPECTS OF THESE
• 17:37  MINERAL RICH WATERS,  WE SPOKE WITH GIDEON,
• 17:41 THE MANAGER OF THE HEALTH SPA OF THE HYATT HOTEL OF THE DEAD SEA.
• 17:44    THE SUBSTANCE IS SITTING >>  IN THE DEAD SEA AND UNIQUE
• 17:49   TO THE DEAD SEA AND FIND IT
• 17:51  ONLY HERE AND THEY ARE BETTER BECAUSE
• 17:53    OF THE LEVELS ARE    BETTER TO THE HUMAN BODY.
• 17:57  WE TAKE THOSE   MINERALS AND SALTS.
• 18:00   AND WE USE THEM IN  PRODUCTS FOR THE TREATMENTS.
• 18:04   WE USE THEM AS THEY   ARE IN THE DEAD SEA POOLS,
• 18:07 IN THE DEAD SEA ITSELF.
• 18:09    THE SULPHUR, THE MUD,    WHICH IS NOT TREATED AT ALL.
• 18:15    WE ONLY TAKE THE BIG  STONES OUT SO THAT IT IS
• 18:17 COMFORTABLE ON THE BODY    AND THAT IT SMEARS RIGHT.
• 18:20  BUT WE DON'T TREAT IT AT ALL.
• 18:23 IT IS PURE MUD, THAT IS 10 OR 20,000 YEARS AGO.
• 18:32  AND BECAUSE OF THE SUBSTANCE IT IS GOOD FOR
• 18:34 THE SKIN AND MUSCLES, TENDONS, AND JOINTS OF THE BODY.
• 18:40   WE HAVE THREE KINDS INDEED.
• 18:42 AND ONE OF THEM IS A NATURAL MUD
• 18:44  WHICH I SAID, IS NOT TREATED AT ALL.
• 18:46 AND THE OTHER TOOLS ARE THE SEA WEED MUD AND THE ALOE VERA MUD.
• 18:50    THE ALOE VERA MUD HAS BEEN WASHED AND IT IS LESS
• 18:53    CONCENTRATED WITH   SALTS AND MINERALS.
• 18:56  AND THAT'S FOR PEOPLE >>   WHO HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN.
• 18:59    THE SEAWEED MUD, >>  ON THE OTHER HAND,
• 19:03   IS THE NATURAL MUD   ADDED WITH SEAWEED.
• 19:06   AND WE ADD THE SEAWEED THAT   IS GROWING IN THE DEAD SEA.
• 19:10 AND THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT   IS GROWING IN THE DEAD SEA.
• 19:14   IT IS MICRO-SEAWEED AND DOES A LOT OF GOOD
• 19:18   FOR PEOPLE WITH PSORIASIS, PEOPLE WITH SKIN PIGMENTATION.
• 19:23 THERE IS A LOT   BETTER COUNT IN IT.
• 19:26 AND ALSO GOOD FOR DIGESTION AND  THEREFORE, WE ARE LOOKING NOW
• 19:29   WHERE WE ARE USING  THE SEAWEED IN FOODS.
• 19:32  THE POOL IN THE BACK, THE DEAD SEA WATER POOL IS WATER
• 19:36    WE PUMP STRAIGHT >>AWAY FROM THE DEAD SEA.
• 19:39  AND THAT'S FOR PEOPLE  WHO WOULDN'T LIKE TO GO COOK
• 19:41 THEMSELVES IN THE SUN.
• 19:43   BUT HAVE AN  AIR CONDITIONED POOL.
• 19:46  BEHIND ME HERE IS THE SULPHUR   POOL WHICH IS NOT A SPRING,
• 19:52    BUT IS FROM THE DEAD SEA,  BUT WE ARE BUYING THE SULPHUR
• 19:56   FROM ANOTHER SPRING THAT'S ABOUT A HUNDRED KILOMETERS AWAY
• 20:00    FROM HERE BECAUSE OF THE >>HIGH CONTENT OF SULPHUR IN IT.
• 20:04 IT IS VERY GOOD FOR ONE'S SKIN.
• 20:08    MANY PEOPLE THAT >> SUFFER FROM PSORIASIS
• 20:11 ARE COMING TO USE THE SULPHUR.
• 20:12  IT IS MENDING  THE INNER CIRCULATION
• 20:18 AND THE BUILDING OF SKIN CELLS.
• 20:20 ACTUALLY PSORIASIS IS A DISEASE  WHERE SKIN CELLS ARE BUILDING    INCORRECTLY AND TOO MUCH.
• 20:29 SULPHUR IS ABLE TO CORRECT THIS AND MAKE THE SKIN SMOOTH AGAIN.
• 20:35  THE DEAD SEA   IS NOT THE SAME AS SULPHUR.
• 20:39 THERE ARE SOME  SUBSTANCES THAT ARE THE SAME.
• 20:42  BROMIDE AND SULPHUR.
• 20:44  WE HAVE BOTH >>   OF THEM IN THE DEAD SEA.
• 20:46   BUT THERERE ARE MANY MINERALS  AND SALTS AND METALS
• 20:49   BUT WE DON'T HAVE SULPHUR.
