Caption transcript for Israel, My Love: Part 6 (6/6)

• 00:06 HE'S GOING TO PREACH CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED.
• 00:09 FAMINE, PESTILENCE, EARTHQUAKES, WARS, THE SECOND RESURRECTIONS OF UNBELIEVERS.
• 00:13 WELL, I THINK WHEN GOD CHOOSES A PEOPLE, THE DEVIL CHOOSES..
• 00:17 THE BELIEVERS WILL BE A VAST..
• 00:18 SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM, PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
• 00:22 ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES IS PROUD TO PRESENT A SERIES
• 00:25 HIGHLIGHTING OVER ONE QUARTER CENTURY OF TELEVISION PROGRAMS.
• 00:38 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN, I'M SANDRA LEVITT.
• 00:41 I'M HERE WITH JEFF SEIF AND YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING THE HIGHLIGHTS
• 00:44 OF ZOLA LEVITT'S MINISTRY THE PAST 27 YEARS.
• 00:47 I'VE ENJOYED WATCHING THESE HIGHLIGHTS.
• 00:49 I CAN'T DECIDE EXACTLY WHICH ONE I LIKE THE BEST,
• 00:52 BUT REALLY, JEFF, I THINK I'VE ENJOYED THEM ALL.
• 00:54 THE TRUTH IS, ZOLA LEVITT WAS ONE RAISED UP BY GOD
• 00:58 TO BE THE GREATEST MESSIANIC JEWISH COMMUNICATOR OF OUR TIMES.
• 01:02 HE TOLD THE GOSPEL FROM A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE, PUT THE STORY OF ISRAEL OUT THERE,
• 01:06 AND COUNTER-BALANCED THE SECULAR MEDIA.
• 01:09 IN THE PROCESS OF DOING ALL THAT, GOT INTO MILLIONS OF HOMES,
• 01:12 MILLIONS OF HEADS AND MILLIONS OF HEARTS.
• 01:15 IT'S BEEN GREAT, JEFF.
• 01:16 YOU KNOW, I'M GLAD YOU'RE WITH THE MINISTRY NOW.
• 01:18 I THINK THAT GOD REALLY HAS PUT YOU IN OUR LIVES.
• 01:21 YOU KNOW, ZOLA STARTED OUT ON THE RADIO AND PEOPLE WOULD CALL IN WITH REALLY FUNNY QUESTIONS.
• 01:27 I THINK ONE TIME SOMEONE CALLED IN AND ASKED IF JESUS' LAST NAME WAS CHRIST.
• 01:32 SO, ZOLA WAS WONDERFUL AT EXPLAINING WHO MESSIAH WAS.
• 01:36 HE EVEN DID A SERIES CALLED "MESSIAH".
• 01:49 ♪MESSIAH, MESSIAH, ♪CAN HE BE MESSIAH?
• 01:56 ♪THE ONE WHO THE PROPHETS ♪FORETOLD?
• 02:04 ♪THE LOVE THAT HE TEACHES ♪THE MESSAGE HE PREACHES
• 02:08 ♪IS IT HE IN THE ♪SCRIPTURES OF OLD?
• 02:30 HE BEGAN PLAYING A HARP LIKE THIS, SINGING SWEET SONGS TO THE SHEEP
• 02:34 WHEN HE TENDED HIS FATHER'S FLOCK AS A BOY AND HE CAME TO BE A SINGER OF SONGS TO THE LORD,
• 02:42 THE PSALMS, OF COURSE ARE KIND DAVID'S IN LARGE PART.
• 02:45 HE WAS A FINE MUSICIAN.
• 02:47 HE WAS A MESSIANIC-TYPE IN MANY WAYS TO BEGIN WITH AS A SHEPHERD.
• 02:52 A SHEPHERD IS ONE WHO LEADS THE FLOCK AND FEEDS THEM AS THE LORD TOLD PETER, FEED MY SHEEP.
• 02:59 JONAH THE PROPHET, HE CAME OUT OF THE OCEAN THAT DAY.
• 03:02 THIS IS THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA.
• 03:05 YOU CAN BELIEVE HE HEADED TO NINEVAH, WHICH WAS EAST 500 MILES.
• 03:10 HE WENT BY A VERY ROUND ABOUT WAY, BECAUSE HE STARTED OUT IN JERUSALEM
• 03:15 AND HE RAN OVER TO JOPPA, THE HARBOR WHERE WE ARE..
• 03:20 THIS IS THE MOUNTAIN OF THE CITY OF DAVID.
• 03:24 THIS IS WHERE THE JEBUSITE CITY WAS
• 03:26 AND THIS IS WHERE DAVID THOUGHT HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HIS CAPITAL
• 03:30 ON STRATEGIC HIGH GROUND IN THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS OF ISRAEL.
• 03:35 THIS MAY BE WHERE DAVID WAS BURIED
• 03:38 HERE AT THE EDGE OF THE CITY OF DAVID THERE ARE ANCIENT TOMBS.
• 03:43 YOU KNOW, THE REAL TOMB OF DAVID IS LOST OVER THE LONG DISPERSION,
• 03:48 ALTHOUGH THE JEWS HALLOW CERTAIN SITES.
• 03:52 WE WANT TO REMEMBER WHERE THE MIGHTY SOVEREIGN FELL, BUT IF THIS IS DAVID'S TOMB,
• 03:56 HE'S STILL IN IT BECAUSE DAVID TAUGHT THAT WHILE HIS SOUL WOULD BE RETAINED IN SHEOL
• 04:02 HIS BODY WOULD GO INTO THE TOMB AND DECAY,
• 04:05 UNLIKE THE BODY OF THE ONE WHO WAS RESURRECTED, THE MESSIAH.
• 04:09 IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT WITHOUT THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, CHRISTIANITY WOULDN'T EXIST
• 04:14 AND WITHOUT THE JEWISH PEOPLE, JESUS WOULDN'T EXIST.
• 04:17 SPEAKING OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND THINKING OF SCRIPTURE,
• 04:20 SANDRA, IS IT NOT TRUE THAT THE BIBLE HAS MUCH TO SAY ABOUT GOD'S WILL
• 04:24 IN SENDING THE MESSIAH TO ISRAEL FROM ISRAEL AND ABOUT ISRAEL?
• 04:28 OH, ABSOLUTELY.
• 04:28 YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN BY JEWS, FOR JEWS, EXPORTED TO THE WEST.
• 04:33 ZOLA ALWAYS SAID, REAL BELIEVERS LOVE ISRAEL.
• 04:37 IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, YOU MIGHT DISAGREE ON THE POLITICS
• 04:41 OR SOME MINOR DETAIL, REAL BELIEVERS LOVE ISRAEL.
• 04:46 WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT BIBLE TRUTH AND EVENTS IN ISRAEL.
• 04:49 ZOLA LOVED TO LOOK AT THE BIBLE TRUTH AND ISRAEL.
• 05:06 AND NOW THEREFORE, THUS SAYETH THE LORD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL.
• 05:10 BEHOLD I WILL GATHER THEM OUT OF ALL COUNTRIES WHITHER I HAVE DRIVEN THEM IN MINE ANGER
• 05:15 AND I WILL BRING THEM AGAIN INTO THIS PLACE AND I WILL CAUSE THEM TO DWELL SAFELY
• 05:21 AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD.
• 05:30 NOW WE'RE AT THE SITE OF ABRAHAM'S WELL AT BEERSHEBA
• 05:33 AND I LIKE TO THINK OF THIS AS THE FIRST PALESTINIAN-ISRAEL PEACE CONFERENCE
• 05:38 BECAUSE IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
• 05:41 BEERSHEBA IS MORE THAN ANY OTHER PLACE, ABRAHAM'S HOMETOWN WE MIGHT SAY.
• 05:46 ABRAHAM WAS A NOMAD, LIKE A BEDOUIN WHO MOVED FROM PLACE TO PLACE WITH FLOCKS.
• 05:51 IT DOES MY HEART GOOD TO SEE THE JEWISH PEOPLE GET OUT OF RUSSIA AND GET TO ISRAEL.
• 05:55 I WOULD HAVE BEEN A RUSSIAN IMMIGRANT TO ISRAEL MYSELF
• 06:00 IF THINGS HAD FALLEN SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IN MY HISTORY.
• 06:03 MY FATHER WAS BORN IN RIGA, LATVIA.
• 06:07 LATVIA IS NOT RUSSIA, OF COURSE, IT'S AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY THAT RUSSIA STOLE,
• 06:11 BUT AT THIS JUNCTURE, LATVIANS WOULD BE GLAD TO GET OUT OF, JEWISH LATVIANS,
• 06:18 TO GET OUT OF THERE AND GET TO ISRAEL.
• 06:20 WELL, I SUPPOSE ANY LATVIANS WOULD BE GLAD TO GET AWAY FROM RUSSIA,
• 06:23 BUT, SOME JEWISH PEOPLE HAVE COME FROM RUSSIA TO AMERICA
• 06:27 ESPECIALLY BEFORE THERE WAS AN ISRAEL AND THAT'S WHEN MY FATHER CAME,
• 06:30 SO THERE WAS NO OPTION OF ISRAEL.
• 06:31 SO, HE CAME TO AMERICA AND I'M AN AMERICAN.
• 06:34 THAT IS HOW THINGS HAVE BEEN WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE SINCE THE FIRST CENTURY, NO REAL CHOICE,
• 06:39 JUST GOING WHERE THEY COULD LIVE WITH SOME MEASURE OF FREEDOM
• 06:43 AND THIS COUNTRY HAS BEEN INDEED BLESSED BECAUSE WE'VE BLESSED THEM
• 06:47 AND NOW ISRAEL WILL BE BLESSED BECAUSE THESE RUSSIANS CAN COME THERE.
• 06:56 THIS PLACE IS PART OF YOUR HERITAGE.
• 06:58 THIS PLACE IS PART OF YOUR DREAM.
• 07:01 PEOPLE OF THE BIBLE ARE IN CHARGE OF THE LAND OF THE BIBLE.
• 07:03 I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY TIMES IN HISTORY
• 07:05 WHEN CHRISTIANS HAVE LOOKED THE OTHER WAY WHEN JEWISH PEOPLE WERE BEING ATTACKED.
• 07:09 WE WILL ULTIMATELY SEE THE WORLD CHANGE.
• 07:12 GOD'S PURPOSES FOR ISRAEL JUST MARCH ON, DON'T THEY?
• 07:22 THE DEMONSTRATION WAS, WE DIDN'T WANT THEM TO GIVE UP THE GOLAN
• 07:26 BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER SAID BY THE RABIN GOVERNMENT OR, I'M AFRAID ANY OTHER ISRAELI GOVERNMENT,
• 07:34 BUT THE GOLAN IS GIVEN TO US IN THE BIBLE.
• 07:38 TWO AND A HALF TRIBES WERE ASSIGNED TO THE GOLAN.
• 07:42 YOU LIVE IN ONE OF THE DIFFICULT CITIES, I GATHER, HEBRON,
• 07:46 YOU LIVE IN KIRYAT ARBA, THE JEWISH SETTLEMENT.
• 07:48 HOW'S LIFE?
• 07:50 LIFE'S JUST LOVELY IF YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT THE HUNDRED THOUSAND ARABS THAT SURROUND YOU.
• 07:59 LIFE IS VERY, VERY NICE THERE.
• 08:02 THE OFFER WAS MUCH CLOSER TO THE PALESTINIAN DEMANDS THAN TO OURS,
• 08:05 BUT I SAID WITH ALL MY RESERVATIONS OUT OF NATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY,
• 08:09 I AM READY TO TAKE IT TO THE BASIS FOR NEGOTIATION IF THE OTHER SIDE WILL.
• 08:14 AND IT FOUND OUT THAT ARAFAT DID NOT, WAS NOT READY,
• 08:19 WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM AND TRIED SINCE THEN TO TURN TO TERROR
• 08:23 IN ORDER TO DICTATE HIS DEMANDS AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'LL NEVER YIELD TO
• 08:28 AND I BELIEVE IT GAINED US BOTH THE MORAL HIGHGROUND IN THE EYES OF ALL ITS PEOPLE
• 08:32 AND ULTIMATELY ALL IT'S GOVERNMENT IN THE WORLD,
• 08:35 AS WELL AS THE UNITY THAT WE ENJOY NOW FACING THE DAILY STRUGGLE AGAINST TERROR.
• 08:40 THIS IS NOT CONFLICT ABOUT LANDS.
• 08:44 WHEN WE WILL COME IN THE FUTURE,
• 08:47 TO DAYS IN WHICH THE CONFLICT WILL BE ABOUT BORDERS OR LANDS,
• 08:53 THEN WE CAN SOLVE IT.
• 08:54 IT IS ABOUT EXISTENCE OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL.
• 08:58 SOME PEOPLE GET HOTHEADED WHEN IT COMES TO TALKING ABOUT POLITICS
• 09:01 AND COLDHEARTED WHEN IT COMES TO TALKING ABOUT THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 09:04 ZOLA WAS PLEASED TO TALK ABOUT BOTH
• 09:07 BUT HE WANTED TO COMBAT ANTI-SEMITISM IN THE CHURCH AND WITH THAT IN MIND,
• 09:10 HE DID A WONDERFUL SERIES CALLED "JACOB, HAVE I LOVED".
• 09:16 ♪ISRAEL HAVE I CHOSEN, ♪JACOB HAVE I LOVED.
• 09:26 ♪I GAVE THEIR FATHER ABRAHAM ♪MY PROMISE LOVE.
• 09:36 ♪FOR HE SAW ALL AROUND HIM, ♪ALL THAT HE BEHELD.
• 09:47 ♪ISRAEL HAVE I GIVEN.
• 09:52 ♪JACOB HAVE I LOVED.
• 09:59 THAT MANY JEWS SOMEHOW THINK THE HOLOCAUST WAS A CHRISTIAN EVENT,
• 10:03 TOOK PLACE IN CHRISTIAN EUROPE, DIDN'T IT.
• 10:05 CHRISTIAN LEADERS WERE SILENT OR EVEN ACTIVE DURING THE HOLOCAUST WITH THESE ATROCITIES.
• 10:11 AND I JUST FELT THAT THE ONLY WAY THAT THE CHURCH
• 10:15 COULD EVER CLEANSE ITSELF OF THE BLOOD STAIN, JEWISH BLOOD,
• 10:19 WE SAY OH, THE JEWS, THEY SAID LET THE BLOOD OF THE MESSIAH BE ON OUR HEADS,
• 10:23 HANG ON, THERE'S BLOOD ON THE CHURCH'S HANDS
• 10:27 BECAUSE WE HAVE ALIENATED JEWISH PEOPLE FROM JESUS
• 10:30 AND WE MUST TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY AS HIS MODERN REPRESENTATIVES
• 10:34 TO STRAIGHTEN THINGS OUT, TO ASK FORGIVENESS BEFORE GOD
• 10:38 AND I'M SURE OUT OF THAT, GREATER SENSITIVITY TO ISRAEL WILL BE BORN.
• 10:42 THE MUSLIM CHILDREN, EVERY TIME THERE IS A MIDDLE EAST WAR,
• 10:46 ARE HEARD TO SING ON THE STREETS IN BETHLEHEM
• 10:50 AND IN OTHER CITIES ALL OVER THE HOLY LAND,
• 10:52 WE SHALL FIGHT ON SATURDAY AND THEN ON SUNDAY,
• 10:55 WE SHALL FIGHT ON SATURDAY AND THEN ON SUNDAY,
• 10:57 WHAT DO THEY MEAN?
• 10:59 WE FIRST KILL THE JEWS AND THEN THE CHRISTIANS.
• 11:02 IN SAUDI ARABIA NOW WE HEAR THAT A MAN AND HIS SON CAME TO THE LORD, THEY WERE BEHEADED.
• 11:09 SAUDI ARABIA DOES NOT ALLOW ONE CHURCH TO BE BUILT IN THAT HUGE LAND.
• 11:14 WHEN WE COME BACK, WE'LL HAVE MORE FROM ZOLA'S 27 YEARS ON TELEVISION.

• 11:58 AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, DO NOT BE AFRAID,

• 12:08 IT STRENGTHENS OUR FAITH TO KNOW THAT JESUS WALKED ON THE WATER
• 12:12 AND THAT WE CAN CALL OUT TO HIM.

• 12:41 SIR, EXCUSE ME, SIR.
• 12:44 THIS COULD ONLY BE, I'M SURE YOU'RE THE PROPHET EZEKIEL.
• 12:51 YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
• 12:52 LISTEN I COULDN'T WAIT ANY LONGER.
• 12:54 I'VE GOT A MESSAGE HERE NOW AND I HAVE TO COME ON NOW.
• 12:57 I'M TRYING TO TELL HIM THAT BACK THERE AND HE--
• 12:59 HE'S SUPPOSED TO KEEP PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, OUT THERE UNTIL THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO COME ON.

• 13:17 THANK YOU.
• 13:18 I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT EZEKIEL PIECE IN A LONG TIME, BUT IT'S A WONDERFUL PIECE.
• 13:23 YOU KNOW, WHEN ZOLA STARTED OUT IN THE STUDIO,
• 13:25 THEY REALLY HAD TO BE CREATIVE, BECAUSE THEY WERE REALLY WATCHING THEIR MONEY.
• 13:29 THEN THEY STARTED GOING TO ISRAEL AND GOING TO ISRAEL,
• 13:32 WHETHER YOU GO AS A TOURIST, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE FILMING, IS VERY, VERY EXPENSIVE, JEFF.
• 13:37 YES, IT IS.
• 13:38 SPEAKING OF MONEY, IF PEOPLE WOULD VISIT OUR HEADQUARTERS IN DALLAS,
• 13:42 I THINK YOU WOULD BE IMPRESSED OVER HOW MUCH MONEY WE DON'T SPEND ON OURSELVES.
• 13:46 IT REALLY GOES INTO THE MINISTRY.
• 13:47 IT REALLY DOES.
• 13:48 YOU KNOW, WE USE SO VERY LITTLE ON EXPENSES AND THINGS.
• 13:53 WE REALLY WANT TO GET THE WORD OUT TO PEOPLE OUT ABOUT OUR JEWISH ROOTS
• 13:57 AND ABOUT THE GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION.
• 13:59 ZOLA LOVED TO WRITE MUSIC AND HE WROTE 2 MUSICALS.
• 14:03 HE ALWAYS SAID,"MINE EYES HAVE SEEN" WAS HIS VERY, VERY BEST.
• 14:07 I THINK YOU'LL LIKE IT.
• 14:26 AND BEHOLD, THERE WAS A MAN IN JERUSALEM WHOSE NAME WAS SIMEON
• 14:31 AND THE SAME MAN WAS JUST AND DEVOUT, WAITING FOR THE CONSOLATION OF ISRAEL
• 14:36 AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS UPON HIM.
• 14:38 AND IT WAS REVEALED TO HIM BY THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT HE SHOULD NOT SEE DEATH
• 14:43 UNTIL HE HAD SEEN THE MESSIAH.

• 17:29 IF ZOLA HAD HIS WAY, HE WOULD TEACH THE BIBLE ONE HALF THE DAY
• 17:34 AND WRITE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC THE OTHER HALF.
• 17:37 PROBLEM IS, SOMETIMES HIS BLISSFUL MOOD WOULD GET INTERRUPTED
• 17:41 BY THE REALITIES OF THE HARSH AND VIOLENT WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN.
• 17:45 IN THE WAKE OF 9-11, WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN MARSHALED HIS RESOURCES
• 17:51 AND SENT TERRORISTS TO WORK IN AMERICA AND CALLED AMERICANS "CRUSADERS" FOR RESPONDING.
• 17:57 ZOLA LEVITT RESPONDED IN KIND WITH A SERIES CALLED "THE CRUSADERS".
• 18:08 IN 1095 POPE URBAN THE SECOND DECREED THAT THE CENTER OF THE KNOWN WORLD, JERUSALEM,
• 18:13 SHOULD BE FREED FROM MUSLIM CONTROL.
• 18:17 SPURRED BY RELIGIOUS FERVOR, WARRIORS MARCHED UNABATED ACROSS EUROPE TOWARDS THE HOLY LAND,
• 18:23 LEAVING DEATH AND DEVASTATION IN THEIR WAKE.
• 18:27 IN THE END, UPWARDS OF 30,000 MUSLIMS AND JEWS WERE MASSACRED IN JERUSALEM ALONE.
• 18:33 THIS WAS CALLED "A HOLY WAR". THESE WERE THE CRUSADERS.
• 18:42 AND 1000 YEARS AFTER MESSIAH, YOU HAD THE CRUSADES
• 18:48 AND THAT IS WHY WE'RE HERE AT CAESAREA.
• 18:49 BEHIND ME IS A CASTLE FORTIFIED BY THE CRUSADERS
• 18:52 WHEN THEY ATTACKED HERE IN THE HOLY LAND.
• 18:55 THEIR IDEA WAS PEACE THROUGH TAKING OVER THE PROMISED LAND,
• 18:59 CHANGING IT TO A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY, GETTING RID OF THE MUSLIMS
• 19:03 AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE JEWS, WHO THEY REALLY DIDN'T APPRECIATE AS CHOSEN PEOPLE
• 19:08 AND THEY DID TAKE THE PLACE OVER FOR A COUPLE OF CENTURIES
• 19:13 AND WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW THAT CAREFULLY.
• 19:16 AND IF YOU LOOK AROUND, YOU WILL SEE REMAINS OF IMPRESSIVE FORTIFICATIONS
• 19:21 OF A MOAT CUT IN THE ROCK, VERY MANY BUILDINGS THAT WERE EXCAVATED FROM THE LAST DECADE
• 19:27 AND IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, THE CHURCH.
• 19:30 THEY MADE IT A SHOWPLACE OF CULTURE AND ARCHITECTURE IN THE LONG RUN.
• 19:36 IT WAS REALLY WORLD CLASS IN THE 13TH CENTURY, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THEY LOST IT TO THE MAMELUKES,
• 19:43 MUSLIMS FROM EGYPT WHO TOOK IT IN 1291.
• 19:48 THAT'S NOT THE END OF IT, THOUGH.
• 19:50 1000 YEARS AFTER THE CRUSADES, I MEAN GIVE OR TAKE,
• 19:52 COMES OUR OWN TIME WITH OSLO AND THE ROADMAP AND THE VARIOUS PEACE PROCESSES
• 19:57 AND THE PEOPLE RIDING UP WITH DIFFERENT IDEAS OF HOW TO MAKE PEACE HERE,
• 20:01 THE SAME THING OVER AGAIN.
• 20:03 PEACE THROUGH DIVIDING THE PROMISED LAND IS THE IDEA OF THE ROADMAP OR OSLO,
• 20:09 GIVE HALF OF IT TO THE ENEMIES OF THE CHOSEN PEOPLE AND THAT WILL MAKE PEACE.
• 20:15 WELL, IT HASN'T SUCCEEDED.
• 20:16 NONE OF THOSE IDEAS HAVE WORKED.
• 20:19 THERE IS A CERTAIN SEGMENT OF EUROPEAN OPINION THAT BELIEVES
• 20:21 THAT IF YOU JUST SAT BACK, DID NOTHING,
• 20:25 BUT MAKE MONEY AND RUN YOUR BUSINESS,
• 20:27 THE WORLD WOULD BE A SAFE PLACE, THAT THERE'S THIS AUTOMATIC HARMONY OF INTERESTS.
• 20:32 THERE ARE 2 COUNTRIES THAT UNDERSTAND VERY WELL THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE,
• 20:39 THERE ARE ORGANIZATIONS OUT THERE THAT WANT TO DESTROY US.
• 20:41 THE EUROPEANS WHO LIVED UNDER THE WINGS OF THE AMERICAN EAGLE ALL DURING THE COLD WAR
• 20:46 HAVEN'T INTERNALIZED THAT CONCLUSION AND THEREFORE THEY SEE OUR ACTS OF SELF DEFENSE
• 20:51 AS DISTURBING THE INTERNATIONAL PEACE THAT THEY THINK OTHERWISE WOULD EMERGE.
• 20:55 YOU KNOW, THE WORLD AROUND US IS CHANGING AND I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S CHANGING FOR THE GOOD,
• 21:00 ESPECIALLY AT THIS TIME WE NEED FAITH.
• 21:02 YOU KNOW, I'M REALLY PROUD OF THIS MINISTRY THAT EVERY TIME SOMETHING HAPPENS,
• 21:06 WE GO BACK TO THE ROOTS OF OUR FAITH.
• 21:08 ZOLA, MADE A SERIES CALLED "CHAMPIONS OF FAITH"
• 21:12 THAT REALLY LET US KNOW JUST EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF FAITH WE NEED.
• 21:16 HEBREWS 11 HONORS THE CHAMPIONS OF FAITH
• 21:20 THAT WANDERED IN DESERTS AND IN CAVES OF THE EARTH.
• 21:25 BECAUSE OF THIS CLOUD OF WITNESSES,
• 21:26 WE CAN RUN WITH PATIENCE, THE RACE THAT IS SET BEFORE US.
• 22:01 YOU MIGHT SAY, WELL, WHY JUST DIDN'T GOD BUILD THE ARK, BUT AGAIN,
• 22:06 IF NOAH HAD NO WORKS TO DO HIS FAITH WOULD NOT BE A WITNESS, HIS FAITH WOULD BE DEAD.
• 22:12 WITHOUT WORKS, FAITH IS DEAD.
• 22:14 AT LEAST THOSE WHO SAW HIM BUILDING THE ARK
• 22:17 HAD A CHANCE TO CONSIDER, WELL, POSSIBLY THE OLD GUY IS RIGHT.
• 22:21 WHAT IF IT REALLY DOES AS HE SAYS, FLOOD, WHAT IF WATER DOES FALL FROM THE SKY
• 22:26 AND IT INUNDATES THE EARTH AND IT GETS OVER OUR HEADS, HOW WILL WE SURVIVE THAT?
• 22:31 IN THE FORTIFIED CITY OF JERICHO, A PROSTITUTE NAMED RAHAB LIVED IN THE CITY WALL.
• 22:38 COURAGEOUSLY SHE HID CALEB AND JOSHUA WHILE THEY SPIED THROUGHOUT THE CITY,
• 22:43 PROTECTING THEM FROM THE SUSPICIOUS KING.
• 22:46 SHE KNEW THAT THE GOD OF THE ISRAELITES HAD GIVEN THE LAND UNTO THEIR HANDS
• 22:51 AND ASKED THAT SHE AND HER FAMILY BE SPARED FROM THE COMING BATTLE.
• 22:55 AS A SIGN, THE SCARLET ROBE USED FOR THE SPIES ESCAPE WAS TO BE FOUND IN THE WINDOW OF HER HOME.
• 23:03 PATIENTLY SHE WAITED WHILE THE ISRAELITES PREPARED TO BESIEGE THE CITY.
• 23:08 BELIEVING THE GOD OF THE HEBREWS WOULD SPARE HER AND HER FAMILY
• 23:12 FROM THE FATE OF THE CITY DWELLERS.
• 23:15 BY FAITH, THE PROSTITUTE RAHAB, BECAUSE SHE WELCOMED THE SPIES,
• 23:19 WAS NOT KILLED WITH THOSE WHO WERE DISOBEDIENT.
• 23:32 THIS IS RICHARD FREIDAN.
• 23:34 WHEN HE WAS A JERUSALEM POLICE OFFICER,
• 23:36 RICHARD'S LIFE WAS OFTEN IN DANGER IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF DUTY.
• 23:39 HIS SOLACE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE LORD
• 23:42 AND HE HAS BECOME A FAITHFUL MEMBER OF BERET YERUSHALAYIM, A FELLOWSHIP OF JEWISH BELIEVERS.
• 23:47 RECENTLY HIS LIFE WAS ENDANGERED ONCE AGAIN, THIS TIME BECAUSE OF HIS FAITH.
• 23:53 TALKING ABOUT, ABOUT MESSIAH YESHUA,
• 23:55 WE WERE ALL OF A SUDDEN FACED WITH A VERY ANGRY CROWD,
• 23:59 SO MUCH SO THAT THEY WERE CURSING US AND THREATENING US,
• 24:04 THEY WERE THREATENING OUR LIVES AND THEY THREATENED TO BEAT US RIGHT THERE AND THEN.
• 24:09 ♪I AM THE LORD ALMIGHTY, ♪KING OF ALL THE KINGS,
• 24:16 ♪I'M FAITHFUL FOREVER, ♪MY MERCIES HAVE NO END, ♪NO END.
• 24:37 ZOLA WAS A CHAMPION WASN'T HE SANDRA?
• 24:40 HE WAS MY HERO, AS YOU WELL KNOW.
• 24:42 YOU KNOW, HE WAS ALWAYS REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SALVATION, ABOUT OUR JEWISH ROOTS, JEFF.
• 24:48 I'M REALLY GLAD THAT YOU'RE WITH US.
• 24:49 I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW SERIES THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE.
• 24:51 WELL, I'M GLAD TO BE HERE.
• 24:53 YOU KNOW, LIFE'S LIKE A MIST.
• 24:55 27 YEARS, HERE WE HAVE SIX TIMES, SIX PROGRAMS LOOKED AT ZOLA'S LIFE.
• 25:01 WE HAVE TO SEE THIS AS PRELUDE TO THINGS TO COME.
• 25:04 THE STORY CONTINUES, THE BIBLE NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT AND WE'RE GOING TO DO IT, AREN'T WE?
• 25:09 WE ARE AND ZOLA WAS SO PROUD THAT WE WERE 100% VIEWER SUPPORTED.
• 25:13 I THANK YOU FOR THAT SUPPORT.
• 25:15 IT IS SO IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY IN THESE TIMES NOW THAT WE TELL THE TRUTH.
• 25:20 YES, AND WE WANT TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT JESUS.
• 25:22 WE BELIEVE THE MESSIAH HAS COME AND HIS NAME IS JESUS
• 25:25 AND OUR SERIES, "THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ISAIAH" EXPLORES THAT.
• 25:29 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT FINANCIAL AND PRAYERFUL.
• 25:32 AND AS WE GO, LET ME ENCOURAGE YOU PLEASE,
• 25:35 TO REMEMBER TO PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
