Caption transcript for Age of Terror Continued: “Hated of All Nations” with Tommy Ice (9/12)

• 00:29 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN.
• 00:31 I'M BACK AFTER MY BYPASS OPERATION AND BY THE WAY, THANKS FOR THE PRAYERS.
• 00:35 I TALKED A LITTLE ABOUT THIS LAST WEEK AND I FORGOT TO THANK YOU.
• 00:38 I REALLY APPRECIATE THE CARDS, THE LETTERS, THE PRAYERS.
• 00:41 I WROTE IN ONE OF MY LETTERS WE SEND OUT, I ALWAYS KNEW I HAD PLENTY OF SUPPORTERS,
• 00:48 I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD THAT MANY FRIENDS.
• 00:50 THAT'S TERRIFIC.
• 00:51 MY BROKEN HEART IS FIXED AND THE DOCTOR SAYS I MIGHT HAVE 20 MORE YEARS, SO STAY TUNED.
• 00:57 WE HAVE A LOT TO SAY.
• 00:59 DURING THE SIX WEEKS WE WERE OFF, I MEAN, I WAS OFF, WE RAN NEW PROGRAMMING ANYWAY.
• 01:05 WE KEEP IT AHEAD OF TIME AND THIS PROGRAM IS GOING TO CONCERN ANTI-SEMITISM.
• 01:12 WE'RE GOING TO START AT THE YAD VASHEM IN JERUSALEM,
• 01:16 THE MUSEUM OF THE HOLOCAUST WHERE EVERY UNIVERSITY GRADUATE IN ISRAEL HAS TO GO THROUGH IT
• 01:21 AND EVERY ONE OF MY TOURISTS HAS TO GO THROUGH IT.
• 01:24 WE NEED TO REMEMBER WHAT THE GERMANS DID BECAUSE IT'S SO FAR BEYOND ANYTHING IN HISTORY,
• 01:30 SO COMPLETELY CRAZY AND MURDEROUS THAT WE NEED TO REALLY STUDY IT.
• 01:36 THEN THE ANTI-SEMITISM CONTINUED ALL THROUGH HISTORY, THEY DIDN'T INVENT IT.
• 01:42 PHARAOH INVENTED IT, I GUESS, OR EVEN EARLIER.
• 01:44 IT'S ENVY, IT'S THE DEVIL, BUT IN ANY CASE, TOMMY ICE IS GOING TO BE WITH US.
• 01:49 HE'S A THEOLOGIAN.
• 01:50 HE'S NOT JEWISH, BUT HE'S WRITTEN A TERRIFIC BOOK ON ANTI-SEMITISM,
• 01:54 ANALYZED THE THING THOROUGHLY AND WITH HIS TERRIFIC BIBLICAL KNOWLEDGE,
• 01:59 YOU COULD SAY A LOT TO THE IDEA THAT THIS REALLY IS THE BATTLE OF JOB 1.
• 02:04 THE DEVIL'S GOING TO AND FRO LOOKING FOR TROUBLE IN THE WORLD.
• 02:08 THE LORD SAID, HAS THOU CONSIDERED BY SERVANT JOB,
• 02:11 A TYPE OF RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE, A CHOSEN PEOPLE
• 02:14 AND THE DEVIL SAYS, AH, JOB IS RICH,
• 02:17 JUST TAKE AWAY WHAT HE HAS, HE'LL CURSE YOU TO YOUR FACE.
• 02:20 HE DID NOT CURSE GOD.
• 02:22 HE SAID, YE THOUGH HE SLAY ME, YET WILL I TRUST IN HIM.
• 02:27 SO, LET'S GO NOW TO JERUSALEM AND THE YAD VASHEM.
• 02:31 WE'RE AT YAD VASHEM THIS MORNING,
• 02:34 THAT'S THE MUSEUM OF THE HOLOCAUST IN JERUSALEM.
• 02:37 THE NAME IS LIKE A HAND AND MONUMENT,
• 02:40 A NAME FOR THOSE WHO DIED NAMELESS IN VARIOUS HOLOCAUSTS THROUGH THE AGES.
• 02:48 THERE'S BEEN MORE THAN ONE, BUT, THIS ONE COMMEMORATES ESPECIALLY THE WWII HOLOCAUST.
• 02:53 THE RELIEF BEHIND ME IS THE JEWS LEAVING A GHETTO.
• 02:56 IT DOESN'T EVEN IDENTIFY WHAT GHETTO.
• 02:59 THERE'VE BEEN GHETTOS FROM PHARAOH'S EGYPT
• 03:02 ALL THE WAY TO WARSAW IN WWII AND THE JEWS TRUDGING OUT OF THEM MUCH LIKE WE SEE HERE.
• 03:08 ANTI-SEMITISM IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN WITH US SINCE GOD CHOSE THE JEWS.
• 03:16 JOB 1 TELLS ABOUT IT AND THERE'S A BATTLE BETWEEN GOD AND SATAN,
• 03:42 IN OTHER WORDS LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.
• 03:55 THAT IS, JOB IS LIKE A CHOSEN PERSON, LIKE A JEWISH PERSON IF YOU WILL,
• 04:01 THAT HE IS RIGHTEOUS, HE WORSHIPS GOD, HE DOES NO EVIL, HE AVOIDS IT.
• 04:23 HE SAYS, JOB IS RICH, IT'S NOT A QUESTION OF HIS BEING FAITHFUL TO GOD.
• 04:27 HE'S WEALTHY.
• 04:28 HE HAS NO PROBLEMS AND SO HE EASILY TURNS TO GOD.
• 04:51 THE DIALOGUES IS PRETTY SIMPLE.
• 04:53 SATAN SAYS RICH PEOPLE HAVE NO PROBLEM,
• 04:56 BUT, TAKE AWAY WHAT THEY HAVE, THEY'LL CURSE YOU TO YOUR FACE.
• 04:59 AND GOD IN EFFECT SAYS, ALRIGHT I'M GOING TO LET YOU DO IT,
• 05:02 BUT IF YOU THINK THAT JOB WILL CURSE ME TO MY FACE, YOU DON'T KNOW JOB.
• 05:08 AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE READ THAT TRAGIC BOOK OF JOB
• 05:12 AND EVERYTHING IS TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM, HE'S SICK, HE'S LYING ON THE GROUND WITH BOILS,
• 05:16 HIS FRIENDS ADVISE HIM THAT IT'S HIS SINS IN QUESTION AND SO ON.
• 05:21 NONE OF THAT IS RIGHT.
• 05:23 HE'S SIMPLY A PAWN IN A GIANT CHESS GAME AND MAYBE ALL OF US ARE,
• 05:26 BUT HE DOES NOT EVER CURSE GOD TO HIS FACE.
• 05:31 JOB ENDS UP SAYING, AT HIS WORSE TIME, YE, THOUGH HE SLAY ME, YET WILL I TRUST IN HIM.
• 05:38 THE JEWISH PEOPLE STILL TRUST IN GOD EVEN THOUGH THEY'VE BEEN SLAIN AND SLAIN AGAIN.
• 05:44 THEY'VE BEEN HATED AND PEOPLE HAVE GONE OUT OF THEIR WAY
• 05:49 TO GREAT TROUBLE AND EXPENSE TO KILL THEM, TO BREAK THEIR TEMPLES DOWN,
• 05:54 TO GET RID OF THEM AS WE'RE SEEING IN TODAY'S WORLD.
• 05:57 IT'S NOT BATTLES I'M TALKING ABOUT HERE.
• 06:01 THOSE ARE ROUTINE WITH COUNTRIES.
• 06:04 IT'S THE IDEA THAT THE JEWS HAVE BEEN AROUND AND BEEN CHOSEN
• 06:07 AND ARE THE WORLD'S OLDEST PEOPLE, BY FAR.
• 06:11 IF YOU DON'T THINK IT'S TRUE, THEN TELL ME ANOTHER PEOPLE
• 06:14 THAT WORSHIP THE SAME GOD FOR 4000 YEARS.
• 06:18 THE CHINESE ARE AN OLD PEOPLE, YOU MIGHT SAY, THEY'VE BEEN OVER THERE FOREVER AND EVER,
• 06:21 BUT, THEY'VE CHANGED THEIR RELIGION A HUNDRED TIMES.
• 06:24 WHAT WOULD AN ANCIENT CONFUCIAN CHINESE HAVE TO SAY TO A MODERN CHINESE COMMUNIST FROM BEIJING?
• 06:30 THERE'S BEEN 25 RELIGIONS BETWEEN, I SUPPOSE.
• 06:34 YOU KNOW THEY FOUND AN ALTAR FROM JOSHUA'S TIME, 35 CENTURIES AGO,
• 06:41 AN ALTAR WAS CARVED IN THE ANCIENT HEBREW LANGUAGE
• 06:45 AND IT'S THE SAME PRAYER YOU'D CARVE ON AN ALTAR NOW
• 06:49 AND IT'S FOUND IN THE EARTH OVER HERE SHOWING, WHAT CAN I SAY?
• 06:55 THE UNITED STATES HAS HAD ABOUT A LITTLE OVER 200 YEARS HISTORY
• 06:59 AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 4000 YEARS HERE.
• 07:02 IF THE BIBLE HAD ONLY ONE PROPHECY, THAT THE PEOPLE GOD CHOSE WILL SURVIVE UNTIL NOW,
• 07:09 IT WOULD BE A VALUABLE BOOK OF PROPHECY, THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO THAT.
• 07:13 IN ANY CASE, LET ME MENTION SOME OF THE ANTI-SEMITES OF THE PAST AND GIVE THEM DUE CREDIT.
• 07:18 OF COURSE, PHARAOH IN EGYPT, IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING,
• 07:21 WHO ENSLAVED THE PEOPLE 400 YEARS.
• 07:23 NEBUCHADNEZZAR CAME AND CONQUERED JUDAH AND TOOK AWAY THE TRIBES,
• 07:30 BUT HE ALSO STOPPED FOR THE LONG, EXPENSIVE, DIFFICULT TASK
• 07:36 OF TEARING DOWN SOLOMON'S GREAT TEMPLE, A WONDER OF THE ANCIENT WORLD, STONE BY STONE.
• 07:41 IT MUST HAVE TAKEN YEARS.
• 07:43 IT WAS A TERRIBLY HARD JOB.
• 07:45 ANTIOCHUS, WHO CAME IN 165, NOT ONLY RAIDED THE TEMPLE,
• 07:50 TOOK OVER THE PLACE AND BECAME IN EFFECT, A DICTATOR OF ISRAEL,
• 07:54 BUT, HE SACRIFICED A PIG ON THE ALTAR.
• 07:57 THIS IS GOING OUT OF ONE'S WAY TO MAKE SURE THE JEWS ARE COMPLETELY HATED.
• 08:03 AFTER THE LORD CAME, IN 70 A.D., TITUS TORE DOWN HEROD'S TEMPLE,
• 08:09 THE SECOND TEMPLE TO BE TORN DOWN AND THAT WAS A JOB.
• 08:13 IT TOOK HEROD GENERATIONS TO REALLY COMPLETE THE PLACE
• 08:17 AND IT WAS FOUR ACRES OF STONE CONSTRUCTION AND IT TOOK TEAMS OF HORSES
• 08:22 AND HOOKS AND BLOCK AND TACKLE AND ENDLESS WORK AGAIN TO LEVEL IT TO THE GROUND
• 08:27 TO FULFILL THE PROPHECY OF THE MESSIAH WHO SAID
• 08:29 THERE SHALL NOT BE LEFT HERE ONE STONE UPON ANOTHER THAT SHALL NOT BE THROWN DOWN.
• 08:34 A GREAT DISASTER.
• 08:37 1.1 MILLION PEOPLE KILLED, JEWISH PEOPLE, IN 5 MONTH'S TIME,
• 08:42 AN UNARMED NATION TRAPPED IN THE TEMPLE SITE VERSUS THE ROMAN LEGIONS WITH THEIR LONG SPEARS.
• 08:47 AFTER THE TEMPLE'S TORN DOWN, THE JEWS ARE STILL TRYING TO WORSHIP,
• 08:53 PROBABLY AT THE WESTERN WALL.
• 08:55 THE RETAINING WALLS DOWN BELOW WEREN'T TORN DOWN.
• 08:58 THEY HOLD THE MOUNTAIN TOGETHER, BUT SINCE THEY'RE A REAL RELIC OF THE ANCIENT TEMPLE,
• 09:04 THE JEWS WORSHIP THERE, I GUESS AND THE WORSHIP THERE TODAY.
• 09:07 THE EMPEROR HADRIAN WOULD HAVE NONE OF THAT.
• 09:11 HE CAME INTO THE TEMPLE SITE, HE PUT THE TEMPLE OF JUPITER UP THERE ON THE PLATFORM.
• 09:16 THIS IS GOING OUT OF THE WAY, THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE,
• 09:19 THIS IS TO MAKE A WHOLE TEMPLE IN SOME FOREIGN LAND
• 09:22 SOME BACK-WATER PROVINCE OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE
• 09:24 IS GOING OUT OF ONE'S WAY TO TRY TO DIG AT THE JEWS
• 09:29 AND THE CRUELEST THING HE DID WAS TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE COUNTRY TO PALESTINE.
• 09:34 WE STILL HAVE THIS ANTI-SEMITIC TERM WITH US TODAY,
• 09:38 A PEOPLE CALLING THEMSELVES PALESTINIANS SPURIOUSLY.
• 09:41 BUT, STILL AND ALL, THEY TAKE THE TERM BECAUSE IT'S ANTI-JEWISH.
• 09:45 IT WAS ORIGINALLY INVENTED AS THE NAME FROM THE ERA OF THE PHILISTINES,
• 09:51 WHO, BY THE WAY WEREN'T ARABS, THEY WERE GREEKS.
• 09:53 THERE'S NO CONNECTION BETWEEN THE PHILISTINES
• 09:55 AND THE ARAB WHO TODAY CALL THEMSELVES PALESTINIANS.
• 09:58 HADRIAN MADE SURE THE PLACE WAS CALLED PALESTINE
• 10:02 AND THE NAME STUCK ALL THE WAY TO THE 20TH CENTURY.
• 10:05 THE CRUSADERS CAME WITH LONG SUPPLY LINES FROM ENGLAND, SWEDEN, FRANCE, GERMANY
• 10:10 AND THEY MARCHED THROUGH EUROPE AND THE SLAUGHTERED JEWS EVERYWHERE.
• 10:13 THEY WERE COMING TO TAKE THE HOLY LAND BACK FROM THE INFIDELS,
• 10:18 BUT, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, THE JEWS WEREN'T THE INFIDELS.
• 10:20 THAT'S PRETTY BAD BIBLE READING.
• 10:22 PERHAPS YOU WANTED TO TAKE IT FROM THE MUSLIMS,
• 10:24 IT'S THE REVERSE OF WHAT WE SEE TODAY.
• 10:27 TODAY THE MUSLIMS CALL US JEWS AND CHRISTIAN, "INFIDELS",
• 10:32 BUT BACK THEN THEY CALL THE JEWS AND MUSLIMS "INFIDELS",
• 10:36 THESE CHRISTIAN ARMIES WITH MORE LONG SPEARS
• 10:39 AND JUST MURDERING PEOPLE EVERYWHERE AND OCCUPYING JERUSALEM FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.
• 10:46 GIVE PROPER CREDIT TO THE TURKS WHO RODE IN HERE IN 1517.
• 10:50 I ALWAYS POINT OUT WHEN I GET TO THIS PLACE IN ALL THAT HISTORY,
• 10:54 THAT'S ABOUT THE TIME COLUMBUS DISCOVERED AMERICA.
• 10:57 SO, THE JEWS REALLY ARE A PRETTY OLD PEOPLE.
• 10:59 THE TURKS TOOK OVER AND KEPT THIS PLACE FOR 4 CENTURIES.
• 11:02 THEY CUT OUT THE TREES, THEY MADE TIES FOR THEIR RAILROADS WITH THE TREES,
• 11:06 BUT THEY DIDN'T PLANT ANYTHING AND TURNED THE PLACE IN THE GOD-FORSAKEN WILDERNESS
• 11:11 WITH SWAMPS AND DESERT LAND AND SO ON, CHANGED THE ECOLOGY OF ISRAEL, IF YOU WILL
• 11:16 AND HAD TO BE CHANGED BACK WHEN THE JEWS RETURNED IN 1948.
• 11:20 AFTER WWI THE BRITISH TOOK OVER THE PLACE.
• 11:24 THEY WERE ALSO EXTREMELY UNKIND TO THE JEWS, THEY STILL ARE.
• 11:27 THERE'S NEVER BEEN ANY LOVE LOST BETWEEN BRITISH PEOPLE AND JEWISH PEOPLE
• 11:32 AND IN OUR OWN DAY, BRINGING IT RIGHT UP TO DATE,
• 11:35 EVEN IN AMERICA THE ANTI-SEMITISM, I SPEAK OF ANTI-SEMITISM NOW,
• 11:39 NOT TAKING A POSITION BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE PALESTINIANS OR ANYTHING,
• 11:42 IT'S SIMPLE JEW HATRED OF THE KIND YOU GET FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE WASHINGTON POST,
• 11:46 CNN, THE NETWORKS PERSONALITIES THAT WE LISTEN TO AND WERE TAUGHT BY,
• 11:52 PAT BUCHANAN, PETER JENNINGS, ROBERT NOVAK,
• 11:56 PEOPLE LIKE THIS GOING OUT OF THEIR WAY JUST LIKE THOSE CONQUERORS OF OLD,
• 12:00 JUST TO SAY SOMETHING MEAN ABOUT THE CHOSEN PEOPLE.
• 12:04 THAT'S ANTI-SEMITISM.
• 12:07 IT'S BEEN WITH US FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL
• 12:09 AND IT'S ALL ABOUT GOD AND SATAN AND THE FACT THAT THESE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE CHOSEN.
• 12:16 AS TEVIA SAID IN "FIDDLER ON THE ROOF"
• 12:18 GOD, CHOOSE SOMEBODY ELSE FOR AWHILE.
• 12:36 ASK FOR OUR FREE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER, THE LEVITT LETTER

• 13:00 PLEASE CONTACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION.
• 13:07 WELL, SADLY THE SUBJECT OF ANTI-SEMITISM JUST DOESN'T GO AWAY.
• 13:11 IT'S ON SOME PLACES IN THE WORLD AS VIRULENT TODAY
• 13:14 AS IT WAS IN THE HOLOCAUST THAT CREATED THAT YAD VASHEM AND IT'S EVERYWHERE.
• 13:21 HERE IN THE QUIET SUBURBS OF DALLAS, WE FOUND DEFACING OF A BUILDING
• 13:27 AT A MESSIANIC CONGREGATION, BARUCH HASHEM,
• 13:31 THERE'S AN IMPLIED COMPLIMENT THERE, THEY ARE MESSIANICS, HEBREW CHRISTIAN, SO TO SAY,
• 13:37 BUT THERE WAS ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO CONVICT THEM OF THE JEWISH,
• 13:40 SO THEY WERE TREATED AS JEWS AND THE BUILDING DEFACED.
• 13:43 A VERY SAD THING.
• 13:45 WE WENT THERE AND WE TALKED TO SOME OF THE PEOPLE IN THE CONGREGATION
• 13:49 ABOUT THE AWFUL THINGS THAT WERE WRITTEN THERE AND THEIR FEELINGS ABOUT THEM.
• 13:53 WE HAVE A HOME SCHOOL CO-OP HERE AT THE SYNAGOGUE.
• 13:56 THE CHILDREN MEET ONCE A WEEK
• 13:58 AND MONDAY MORNING IS WHEN THE GRAFFITI WAS DISCOVERED ON THE BUILDING
• 14:02 AND WHEN THE CHILDREN ARRIVED MONDAY MORNING,
• 14:05 THIS WAS THE FIRST THING THAT THEY SAW.
• 14:08 THE PERSECUTION OF JEWS WORLD WIDE,
• 14:11 IT BRINGS IT VERY HOME TO YOU.
• 14:13 IT'S NOT SOMEWHERE ELSE, IT'S NOT EVEN DOWN TOWN
• 14:15 OR ANOTHER LOCATION, IT'S RIGHT HERE IN YOUR HOME
• 14:18 AND SO AS A FAMILY, AS WE KNOW, IF SOMEONE VANDALIZED THEIR OWN HOUSE,
• 14:23 THE FAMILY FEELS IT MUCH MORE SO WHEN YOU READ SOMETHING IN THE NEWS
• 14:27 OR READ SOMETHING IN THE PAPER, OR YOU SEE SOMETHING ON THE NEWS.
• 14:30 I THINK ONE OF THE QUESTIONS, ARE REGARDING THE SLOGAN BACK HERE IS,
• 14:33 THESE CHILDREN HAVE GROWN UP IN JEWISH HOMES AND BELIEVING IN YESHUA.
• 14:40 IT'S VERY NATURAL FOR THEM.
• 14:42 WHERE AS IN MY GENERATION, GROWING UP IN A MORE TRADITIONAL JEWISH HOME
• 14:46 AND THEN COMING TO FAITH IN YESHUA IS A WHOLE CHANGE.
• 14:51 BUT, FOR THEM THEY WERE WONDERING, DON'T THEY KNOW THAT YESHUA WAS A JEW
• 14:56 AND THAT HE'S THE JEWISH MESSIAH?
• 14:58 IT SEEMS LIKE THEIR "AGAINST SOMETHING"
• 15:01 IS THEIR STRONGER MOTIVATION VERSUS BEING FOR SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE SO POSITIVE.
• 15:14 WELL, OUR GUEST TODAY IS TOMMY ICE.
• 15:16 HE IS ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS.
• 15:18 I DON'T HAVE YOUR BIOGRAPHY IN FRONT OF ME.
• 15:20 NEVER MIND, HE'S BEEN EVERYWHERE AND DONE EVERYTHING.
• 15:23 HE'S A THEOLOGIAN OF SOME NOTE.
• 15:25 TOMMY, THIS SUBJECT OF ANTI-SEMITISM, YOU HAVE PREPARED A BOOK ON THE THING.
• 15:32 WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT IT?
• 15:34 WELL, THE BOOK IS CALLED "THE CASE FOR ZIONISM"
• 15:37 AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING, I THINK SINCE 9-11, ZOLA,
• 15:40 IS IN EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY, WHICH HISTORICALLY, AS WE KNOW,
• 15:45 YOU DOCUMENTED IN YOUR NEWSLETTER
• 15:47 ABOUT HOW YOU USED TO GO SPEAK HERE AND YOU USED TO SPEAK THERE
• 15:50 AND ALL OF THOSE "HERES AND THERES" ARE NOT AS FREQUENT AS THEY USED TO BE.
• 15:54 NO, DRYING UP.
• 15:56 AND YOU'RE SEEING THAT THERE IS A SHIFT, NOT JUST IN THE WORLD, WHICH IS OCCURRING,
• 16:01 BUT WITHIN EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANITY.
• 16:03 LIBERALS HAVE BEEN PRETTY MUCH ANTI-ZIONISTIC FOR ALL THESE YEARS.
• 16:07 BY ZIONISM, WE MEAN PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT ISRAEL SHOULD BE IN THE LAND.
• 16:11 THAT ENCOMPASSED JEWS AND GENTILES WHO BELIEVE THAT WAY.
• 16:15 WE'RE SEEING--
• 16:16 GOD IS A ZIONIST, I ONCE POINTED OUT IN THE NEWSLETTER.
• 16:19 I DIDN'T GET MUCH OF AN ARGUMENT.
• 16:20 HE WOULD FAVOR THE JEWS BEING IN THE LAND.
• 16:22 IT'S PART OF HIS PLAN.
• 16:24 UNTIL THE MODERN ZIONIST MOVEMENT AMONG EVANGELICALS,
• 16:28 THEY USED TO CALL THIS "RESTORATIONISM".
• 16:30 AS FAR BACK AS THE LATE 1500S, FOR EXAMPLE, IN ENGLAND,
• 16:34 WHEN THEY TRANSLATED THE BIBLE INTO THEIR OWN LANGUAGE
• 16:37 AND PEOPLE, REALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME,
• 16:40 WERE READING THE BIBLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 1500 YEAR IN THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH.
• 16:43 BECAUSE CHRISTIANITY IN THE MIDDLE AGES, FIRST OF ALL,
• 16:47 THE BRITISH EXPELLED THE JEWS IN 1290 AND THEN CHRISTIANITY WAS ROMAN CATHOLICISM,
• 16:53 STAINED GLASS WINDOWS, THE 12 STATIONS OF THE CROSS AND MASS
• 16:56 AND PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW THE STORIES AND THE DETAILS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT.
• 17:00 THEY KNEW SOME OF THE BIG ONES LIKE THE FALL AND FLOOD AND SOME OF THOSE.
• 17:04 BUT, THEY DIDN'T KNOW KINGS AND CHRONICLES AND JOSHUA AND JUDGES.
• 17:07 WHEN THE BRITISH PEOPLE AND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE CONTINENT OF EUROPE,
• 17:11 AS WELL, TO A LESSER DEGREE, STARTED READING THE BIBLE FOR THEMSELVES,
• 17:15 THEY BEGAN TO IDENTIFY WITH ISRAEL
• 17:17 AND THEY WOULD TAKE EVENT THAT WOULD HAPPEN IN THEIR COUNTRY, FOR EXAMPLE THE SPANISH ARMADA.
• 17:22 THE BRITISH SAID WE'RE KIND OF LIKE ISRAEL OVER HERE,
• 17:25 THIS SMALL COUNTRY AND WE'RE BEING ATTACKED BY OUR ENEMIES,
• 17:28 NOT THAT THEY SAID "WE'RE ISRAEL", BUT LIKE WE DO TODAY,
• 17:32 WE MAKE AN ANALOGY BETWEEN EVENTS OF THE DETAIL THAT HAPPENED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
• 17:36 LO AND BEHOLD, THEY STARTED BECOMING PRE-MILLENNIAL
• 17:39 AND THEY STARTED BELIEVING THAT THE JEWS WOULD ONE DAY RETURN TO THE LAND.
• 17:45 THERE WAS A GUY IN THE LATE 1500S NAMED FRANCIS KETT
• 17:49 WHO HAD A BACHELOR'S AND MASTER'S DEGREE FROM CAMBRIDGE
• 17:52 WHO WROTE A COUPLE OF PAGES IN A BOOK SAYING THE JEWS WOULD RETURN TO THE LAND.
• 17:56 WELL, GUESS WHAT, WITHIN ONE MONTH HE WAS BURNED AT THE STAKE FOR TEACHING THAT.
• 18:02 THE SCRIPTURE TEACHES IT SO CLEARLY.
• 18:05 I KNOW, BUT ONCE AGAIN, THIS WAS COMING BACK IN A PARLANCE
• 18:08 AND BY THE EARLY 1600S WITH THE RISE OF THE PURITAN MOVEMENT,
• 18:11 ALMOST ALL THE PURITANS WERE BECOMING PRE-MILLENNIAL
• 18:15 AND WERE STARTING TO WRITE BOOKS AND THINGS ABOUT ISRAEL RETURNING TO THE LAND.
• 18:21 IN FACT, THERE WAS A GUY NAMED SIR HENRY FINCH AND BEFORE BLACKSTONE'S LEGAL COMMENTARIES,
• 18:27 WHICH MANY OF YOUR VIEWERS HAVE PROBABLY HEARD OF,
• 18:29 SIR HENRY FINCH WAS THE MOST, THERE WAS A FINCH COMMENTARY
• 18:33 AND HE WAS THE GREATEST LEGAL SCHOLAR IN ENGLAND UP UNTIL BLACKSTONE CAME ALONG
• 18:38 AND HE WROTE A WHOLE BOOK DETAILING THAT THE JEWS WOULD BE RETURNED TO THE LAND
• 18:45 AND HOW IT WOULD HAPPEN AND ALL THIS KIND OF STUFF.
• 18:48 KING JAMES PUT HIM IN PRISON AND PUT HIM AND HIS PUBLISHER IN PRISON FOR DOING THAT
• 18:55 BECAUSE HE HAD THE AUDACITY TO SAY THAT ALL THE KINGS OF THE EARTH
• 19:00 WOULD ONE DAY BOW DOWN TO THE KING IN JERUSALEM, JESUS.
• 19:03 BOY, HE'S NOT THE FIRST TO SAY THAT.
• 19:04 ISAIAH SAID THAT.
• 19:06 THAT'S RIGHT AND KING JAMES DIDN'T LIKE THE FACT THAT HE'D HAVE TO ONE DAY BOW DOWN TO,
• 19:10 AND HE PUT HIM IN PRISON AND HE DIED SHORTLY AFTER THAT.
• 19:13 DIDN'T KING JAMES READ THE KING JAMES BIBLE?
• 19:15 WELL, 1621, I GUESS IT WAS AROUND BACK THEM.
• 19:20 IF HE DID, HE READ IT WITH A JAUNDICED EYE OR VERY DARK SET OF GLASSES.
• 19:25 A LOT OF PEOPLE DO THAT.
• 19:27 YOU KNOW, MY BIBLE, WHICH IS AN OLD SCOFIELD, IN THE NOTES TO THE NATION OF GOG AND MAGOG,
• 19:32 EZEKIEL 38 AND 39 HE USES, HE SAYS, THIS WILL BE AN INVASION AGAINST DISPERSED ISRAEL
• 19:39 AND THEN ELUDES TO THE FACT THEY WILL BE BACK IN THE LAND WHEN THE PROPHECY HAPPENS.
• 19:44 WELL, EXACTLY AND THAT'S WHAT WE FIND WHEN THE PEOPLE
• 19:47 FOR THE FIRST TIME REALLY IN THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH,
• 19:50 WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS IN THE EARLY CHURCH,
• 19:52 GOT AHOLD OF THE SCRIPTURES AND STARTED READING THEM, THEY SAID THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES.
• 19:56 ISN'T THAT AMAZING.
• 19:58 AND YOU COME TO THIS COUNTY, IN THE UNITED STATES
• 20:01 AND WE WERE FOUNDED BY A LOT OF THESE PURITANS
• 20:03 AND AMERICA DOES NOT HAVE THE HISTORY OF MEDIEVAL ANTI-SEMITISM THAT EUROPE HAS.
• 20:11 THIS IS PROBABLY WHY ONE THIRD OF WORLD JEWRY LIVES IN UNITED STATES.
• 20:16 ONE THIRD LIVES IN ISRAEL, ONE THIRD LIVES IN THE UNITED STATES,
• 20:19 ACTUALLY IT'S SOMETHING LIKE 40%, I BELIEVE, LIVE IN UNITED STATES AND 40% LIVE IN ISRAEL.
• 20:24 WELL, IT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN VERY PHILIO-SEMITIC DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS.
• 20:30 WE'VE LOVED THE JEWS.
• 20:31 WE'VE LOVED THE JEWS AND THAT GOES BACK TO OUR PURITAN ROOTS.
• 20:33 IN FACT, INCREASE MATHER WROTE HIS FIRST BOOK OUT OF 125 BOOKS,
• 20:38 HIS SON COTTON MATHER WROTE 425, BUT NEVER THE LESS,
• 20:41 WAS ON THE RESTORATION OF THE JEWS TO ISRAEL
• 20:43 AND WAS HIS FAVORITE BOOK, WENT THROUGH SIX REVISIONS
• 20:46 AND THIS WAS DISSEMINATED THROUGHOUT THE COLONIES AND THIS SET THE TONE FOR AMERICA.
• 20:52 IN FACT, GEORGE WASHINGTON HAD A POLICY THAT HE WANTED THE JEWS TO RETURN TO THE LAND.
• 20:56 JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, WHO WAS CHRISTIAN PRESIDENT,
• 20:58 HAD AN EXTENSIVE FOREIGN POLICY STATING THAT HE WANTED TO SEE THE JEWS RETURN TO ISRAEL.
• 21:03 SO, THIS IDEA THAT CHRISTIAN ZIONISM SOMEHOW STARTED WITH DARBY IN 1830,
• 21:09 NOW DARBY CERTAINLY BELIEVED IN THIS, IS JUST BOGUS.
• 21:11 IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR 250 YEARS.
• 21:13 IT CORRESPONDS WITH THE RISE OF PEOPLE STUDYING THE BIBLE.
• 21:17 SO, WHAT IS AMAZING NOW IS WE'RE SEEING A DECLINE
• 21:21 AMONG EVANGELICALS IN SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL.
• 21:27 I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A DECLINE YET AT THE POPULAR LEVEL, ZOLA,
• 21:30 BUT WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS THE PEOPLE WITHIN EVANGELICALISM
• 21:33 WHO ARE OPPOSED TO A LITERAL READING OF THE BIBLE,
• 21:36 WHO ARE OPPOSED TO AN UNDERSTANDING THAT THE MODERN STATE OF ISRAEL
• 21:41 IS IN THE PROCESS OF FULFILLING PROPHECY AND SETTING THE STAGE FOR THE TRIBULATION
• 21:45 AND OPPOSED TO THAT KIND OF READING OR UNDERSTANDING OF THE BIBLE,
• 21:49 THEY'RE GETTING A BETTER VOICE IT SEEMS SINCE 9-11.
• 21:52 THERE SEEMS TO BE A COROLLARY BETWEEN 9-11 AND THEIR VIEWS RESONATING WITH PEOPLE.
• 21:59 YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
• 22:00 AND WE'VE HAD 2 OTHER BIG INFLUENCES, AS YOU'RE TALKING
• 22:03 I'M THINKING THE DOWNFALL AND THE DECLINE OF THE SEMINARIES,
• 22:08 MOODY AND DALLAS AND TALBOT SINCE MAYBE 1985 OR SO TURNING TO PROGRESSIVE DISPENATIONALISM
• 22:15 AND SCREWY DOCTRINES OF PROPHECY, CUTTING ISRAEL OUT AND THE INFLUX OF THE MUSLIMS.
• 22:21 THAT'S RIGHT AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING OVER IN EUROPE,
• 22:25 YOU'RE SEEING THIS IMMIGRATION ACROSS EUROPE
• 22:29 AND THEY ARE FORMING 9, 10, 11% OF MANY COUNTRIES VOTING BLOCK
• 22:37 AND THEY HAVE TO MAKE COALITIONS OVER THERE SO THEY DON'T WANT TO OFFEND PEOPLE
• 22:42 AND WE'VE SEEN WHAT SCHOLARS BACK IN THE 1970S STARTED USING AFTER THE 6 DAY WAR,
• 22:48 A TERM CALLED "THE NEW ANTI-SEMITISM".
• 22:50 IN FACT THERE ARE 7 OR 8 NEW BOOKS SINCE 9-11
• 22:53 THAT HAVE THAT IN THE TITLE, MAINLY WRITTEN BY JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 22:57 WHAT IS THE NEW-ANTI-SEMITISM?
• 22:59 WELL THE NEW ANTI-SEMITISM IS THAT PEOPLE HATE ISRAEL,
• 23:04 THE CORPORATE STATE IN THE SAME WAY THEY HATED THE INDIVIDUAL JEWS IN THE 1930S.
• 23:10 SO, THE NEW ANTI-SEMITISM IS, YOU GET UP AND YOU SAY THINGS AGAINST ISRAEL AND YOU SAY,
• 23:18 WELL, I'M NOT ANTI-SEMITIC BECAUSE I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT INDIVIDUAL JEWS--
• 23:20 JUST THEIR POLICIES OVER THERE.
• 23:22 IT'S THEIR POLICIES OVER THERE.
• 23:23 THAT REMINDS OF BILLY GRAHAM,
• 23:25 HE SAID HE COULDN'T TELL THE NEW MORALITY FROM THE OLD IMMORALITY.
• 23:29 I CAN'T TELL THE NEW ANTI-SEMITISM FROM THE OLD STUFF.
• 23:33 EXACTLY, THEY FEEL A FREEDOM ON THESE--
• 23:36 YOU HAVE THE RISE OF THE CABLE SHOWS WHERE THEY SIT AD INFINITUM
• 23:40 AND TALK ABOUT ALL THESE ISSUES AND ISRAEL IS ALWAYS ONE OF THE MAIN TOPICS,
• 23:43 WHEN SOME EVENT HAPPENS THEN THEY HAVE ALL THESE, SPECIALLY ARABS
• 23:46 THAT GET ON THERE AND TRASH ISRAEL AND TALK ABOUT THEM IN A BAD WAY
• 23:51 AND YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN EGYPT AND SYRIA AND IRAN AND THE ARAB WORLD
• 23:56 AND I'VE GOTTEN HUNDREDS OF CARTOONS, FOR EXAMPLE, OFF THE INTERNET FROM THE ARAB WORLD.
• 24:01 THERE'S A SITE WHERE YOU CAN GET THEM AND THEY'RE USING,
• 24:04 YOU'VE BEEN TO YAD VASHEM, OR THE HOLOCAUST MUSEUM IN WASHINGTON D. C.
• 24:08 AND THERE'S A CERTAIN TYPE OF ART, CARTOONING
• 24:11 THAT THEY WERE DOING IN THE 30S IN GERMANY THAT HAS A CERTAIN LOOK AND FEEL.
• 24:15 IT'S COMING BACK. IT'S COMING BACK.
• 24:17 THEY'RE USING THE SAME EXACT LOOK AND FEEL IN THE ARAB WORLD
• 24:22 TO DEMONIZE THE JEWS IN A SIMILAR WAY.
• 24:26 WHEN I WALKED IN THAT MUSEUM IN WASHINGTON, YOU GO ACROSS A LITTLE BRIDGE AT THE BEGINNING
• 24:31 AND YOU LOOK DOWN A LONG HALLWAY AND ON THE WALL
• 24:34 IS ISAIAH WHATEVER IT IS, YE ARE MY WITNESSES.
• 24:39 IT REALLY GOES THROUGH YOU.
• 24:41 I MEAN, SOMEBODY'S GOT TO LIVE TO TELL ABOUT THIS.
• 24:44 WELL, EXACTLY AND YOU'VE GOT HOLOCAUST DENIER ABBAS, THE HEAD OF THE PALESTINIAN ASSOCIATION.
• 24:52 THE NEW HOPE.
• 24:54 THEY JUST PUBLISHED A BRAND NEW COPY OF THE PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION IN ARABIC
• 25:00 IN EGYPT AND SYRIA AND ALL THESE KINDS OF THINGS
• 25:02 AND YOU'VE GOT ALL OF THESE THINGS OCCURRING AND THEY'RE SPILLING OVER INTO EUROPE NOW
• 25:08 AND THEY'RE SPILLING OVER INTO AMERICA.
• 25:10 I'LL BET OUR VIEWERS WOULD PROBABLY SURPRISED TO LEARN
• 25:13 THERE'S BEEN 7 OR 8 RIOTS SINCE 9-11 IN NORTH AMERICA ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES OVER ISRAEL.
• 25:18 OH SURE, TOMMY IS THIS ALL TAKING US INTO THE TRIBULATION NOW.
• 25:22 I THINK IT IS.
• 25:23 YOU'VE GOT THE PROPHECY IN ZECHARIAH
• 25:27 AND I THINK THIS IS A PROPHECY THAT'S GOING TO OCCUR IN THE TRIBULATION AND IT SAYS
• 25:46 CHUCK MISSLER, A FRIEND OF OURS SAYS, YOU KNOW THERE'S GOING TO BE A GLOBAL HERNIA
• 25:49 TRYING TO DEAL WITH THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT.
• 25:53 THAT SOUNDS LIKE CHUCK MISSLER.
• 25:54 EXACTLY, THAT OCCURS.
• 25:56 THE POINT IS THAT WE'RE SEEING THIS ALREADY BEING PREPARED,
• 26:01 THE STAGE IS BEING SET AND I THINK WHEN THE RAPTURE OCCURS,
• 26:04 AMERICA UNFORTUNATELY IS GOING TO JOIN EUROPE AND THE REST OF THESE PEOPLE
• 26:10 BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE LOST OUR EVANGELICAL BIBLICAL INFLUENCE.
• 26:14 THAT'LL BE IT.
• 26:15 TOMMY, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE YOU BACK NEXT WEEK.
• 26:17 I'M SORRY THE TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN.
• 26:19 THANKS FOR SHARING AND WE'LL PICK IT UP AGAIN NEXT WEEK ON THIS POINT.
• 26:25 HE'S A WONDERFUL SCHOLAR, AUTHOR OF MANY BOOKS, A SEMINARY DOCTORATE AND SO ON.
• 26:31 I DON'T HAVE HIS BIOGRAPHY IN FRONT OF ME, BUT I THINK YOU CAN HEAR HIS WISDOM.
• 26:35 THANKS FOR SHARING, I APPRECIATE IT.
• 26:38 AND FOLKS OUT THERE, WHATEVER THEY SAY,
• 26:41 SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALYIM PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
