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

• 00:07 HE'S GOING TO PREACH CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED.
• 00:10 FAMINE, PESTILENCE, EARTHQUAKES, WARS, THE SECOND RESURRECTIONS OF UNBELIEVERS.
• 00:14 WELL, I THINK WHEN GOD CHOOSES A PEOPLE, THE DEVIL CHOOSES..
• 00:18 THE BELIEVERS WILL BE A VAST..
• 00:19 SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM, PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
• 00:23 ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES IS PROUD TO PRESENT A SERIES
• 00:26 HIGHLIGHTING OVER ONE QUARTER CENTURY OF TELEVISION PROGRAMS.
• 00:39 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN, I'M SANDRA LEVITT.
• 00:42 I'M HERE WITH JEFF SEIF AND YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING THE HIGHLIGHTS
• 00:45 OF ZOLA LEVITT'S MINISTRY THE PAST 27 YEARS.
• 00:48 I'VE ENJOYED WATCHING THESE HIGHLIGHTS.
• 00:50 I CAN'T DECIDE EXACTLY WHICH ONE I LIKE THE BEST,
• 00:53 BUT REALLY, JEFF, I THINK I'VE ENJOYED THEM ALL.
• 00:55 THE TRUTH IS, ZOLA LEVITT WAS ONE RAISED UP BY GOD
• 00:59 TO BE THE GREATEST MESSIANIC JEWISH COMMUNICATOR OF OUR TIMES.
• 01:03 HE TOLD THE GOSPEL FROM A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE, PUT THE STORY OF ISRAEL OUT THERE,
• 01:07 AND COUNTER-BALANCED THE SECULAR MEDIA.
• 01:10 IN THE PROCESS OF DOING ALL THAT, GOT INTO MILLIONS OF HOMES,
• 01:13 MILLIONS OF HEADS AND MILLIONS OF HEARTS.
• 01:16 IT'S BEEN GREAT, JEFF.
• 01:17 YOU KNOW, I'M GLAD YOU'RE WITH THE MINISTRY NOW.
• 01:19 I THINK THAT GOD REALLY HAS PUT YOU IN OUR LIVES.
• 01:22 YOU KNOW, ZOLA STARTED OUT ON THE RADIO AND PEOPLE WOULD CALL IN WITH REALLY FUNNY QUESTIONS.
• 01:28 I THINK ONE TIME SOMEONE CALLED IN AND ASKED IF JESUS' LAST NAME WAS CHRIST.
• 01:33 SO, ZOLA WAS WONDERFUL AT EXPLAINING WHO MESSIAH WAS.
• 01:37 HE EVEN DID A SERIES CALLED "MESSIAH".
• 01:50 ♪MESSIAH, MESSIAH, ♪CAN HE BE MESSIAH?
• 01:57 ♪THE ONE WHO THE PROPHETS ♪FORETOLD?
• 02:05 ♪THE LOVE THAT HE TEACHES ♪THE MESSAGE HE PREACHES
• 02:09 ♪IS IT HE IN THE ♪SCRIPTURES OF OLD?
• 02:31 HE BEGAN PLAYING A HARP LIKE THIS, SINGING SWEET SONGS TO THE SHEEP
• 02:35 WHEN HE TENDED HIS FATHER'S FLOCK AS A BOY AND HE CAME TO BE A SINGER OF SONGS TO THE LORD,
• 02:43 THE PSALMS, OF COURSE ARE KIND DAVID'S IN LARGE PART.
• 02:46 HE WAS A FINE MUSICIAN.
• 02:48 HE WAS A MESSIANIC-TYPE IN MANY WAYS TO BEGIN WITH AS A SHEPHERD.
• 02:53 A SHEPHERD IS ONE WHO LEADS THE FLOCK AND FEEDS THEM AS THE LORD TOLD PETER, FEED MY SHEEP.
• 03:00 JONAH THE PROPHET, HE CAME OUT OF THE OCEAN THAT DAY.
• 03:03 THIS IS THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA.
• 03:06 YOU CAN BELIEVE HE HEADED TO NINEVAH, WHICH WAS EAST 500 MILES.
• 03:11 HE WENT BY A VERY ROUND ABOUT WAY, BECAUSE HE STARTED OUT IN JERUSALEM
• 03:16 AND HE RAN OVER TO JOPPA, THE HARBOR WHERE WE ARE..
• 03:21 THIS IS THE MOUNTAIN OF THE CITY OF DAVID.
• 03:25 THIS IS WHERE THE JEBUSITE CITY WAS
• 03:27 AND THIS IS WHERE DAVID THOUGHT HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HIS CAPITAL
• 03:31 ON STRATEGIC HIGH GROUND IN THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS OF ISRAEL.
• 03:36 THIS MAY BE WHERE DAVID WAS BURIED
• 03:39 HERE AT THE EDGE OF THE CITY OF DAVID THERE ARE ANCIENT TOMBS.
• 03:44 YOU KNOW, THE REAL TOMB OF DAVID IS LOST OVER THE LONG DISPERSION,
• 03:49 ALTHOUGH THE JEWS HALLOW CERTAIN SITES.
• 03:53 WE WANT TO REMEMBER WHERE THE MIGHTY SOVEREIGN FELL, BUT IF THIS IS DAVID'S TOMB,
• 03:57 HE'S STILL IN IT BECAUSE DAVID TAUGHT THAT WHILE HIS SOUL WOULD BE RETAINED IN SHEOL
• 04:03 HIS BODY WOULD GO INTO THE TOMB AND DECAY,
• 04:06 UNLIKE THE BODY OF THE ONE WHO WAS RESURRECTED, THE MESSIAH.
• 04:10 IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT WITHOUT THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, CHRISTIANITY WOULDN'T EXIST
• 04:15 AND WITHOUT THE JEWISH PEOPLE, JESUS WOULDN'T EXIST.
• 04:18 SPEAKING OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND THINKING OF SCRIPTURE,
• 04:21 SANDRA, IS IT NOT TRUE THAT THE BIBLE HAS MUCH TO SAY ABOUT GOD'S WILL
• 04:25 IN SENDING THE MESSIAH TO ISRAEL FROM ISRAEL AND ABOUT ISRAEL?
• 04:29 OH, ABSOLUTELY.
• 04:29 YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN BY JEWS, FOR JEWS, EXPORTED TO THE WEST.
• 04:34 ZOLA ALWAYS SAID, REAL BELIEVERS LOVE ISRAEL.
• 04:38 IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, YOU MIGHT DISAGREE ON THE POLITICS
• 04:42 OR SOME MINOR DETAIL, REAL BELIEVERS LOVE ISRAEL.
• 04:47 WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT BIBLE TRUTH AND EVENTS IN ISRAEL.
• 04:50 ZOLA LOVED TO LOOK AT THE BIBLE TRUTH AND ISRAEL.
• 05:07 AND NOW THEREFORE, THUS SAYETH THE LORD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL.
• 05:11 BEHOLD I WILL GATHER THEM OUT OF ALL COUNTRIES WHITHER I HAVE DRIVEN THEM IN MINE ANGER
• 05:16 AND I WILL BRING THEM AGAIN INTO THIS PLACE AND I WILL CAUSE THEM TO DWELL SAFELY
• 05:22 AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD.
• 05:31 NOW WE'RE AT THE SITE OF ABRAHAM'S WELL AT BEERSHEBA
• 05:34 AND I LIKE TO THINK OF THIS AS THE FIRST PALESTINIAN-ISRAEL PEACE CONFERENCE
• 05:39 BECAUSE IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
• 05:42 BEERSHEBA IS MORE THAN ANY OTHER PLACE, ABRAHAM'S HOMETOWN WE MIGHT SAY.
• 05:47 ABRAHAM WAS A NOMAD, LIKE A BEDOUIN WHO MOVED FROM PLACE TO PLACE WITH FLOCKS.
• 05:52 IT DOES MY HEART GOOD TO SEE THE JEWISH PEOPLE GET OUT OF RUSSIA AND GET TO ISRAEL.
• 05:56 I WOULD HAVE BEEN A RUSSIAN IMMIGRANT TO ISRAEL MYSELF
• 06:01 IF THINGS HAD FALLEN SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IN MY HISTORY.
• 06:04 MY FATHER WAS BORN IN RIGA, LATVIA.
• 06:08 LATVIA IS NOT RUSSIA, OF COURSE, IT'S AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY THAT RUSSIA STOLE,
• 06:12 BUT AT THIS JUNCTURE, LATVIANS WOULD BE GLAD TO GET OUT OF, JEWISH LATVIANS,
• 06:19 TO GET OUT OF THERE AND GET TO ISRAEL.
• 06:21 WELL, I SUPPOSE ANY LATVIANS WOULD BE GLAD TO GET AWAY FROM RUSSIA,
• 06:24 BUT, SOME JEWISH PEOPLE HAVE COME FROM RUSSIA TO AMERICA
• 06:28 ESPECIALLY BEFORE THERE WAS AN ISRAEL AND THAT'S WHEN MY FATHER CAME,
• 06:31 SO THERE WAS NO OPTION OF ISRAEL.
• 06:32 SO, HE CAME TO AMERICA AND I'M AN AMERICAN.
• 06:35 THAT IS HOW THINGS HAVE BEEN WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE SINCE THE FIRST CENTURY, NO REAL CHOICE,
• 06:40 JUST GOING WHERE THEY COULD LIVE WITH SOME MEASURE OF FREEDOM
• 06:44 AND THIS COUNTRY HAS BEEN INDEED BLESSED BECAUSE WE'VE BLESSED THEM
• 06:48 AND NOW ISRAEL WILL BE BLESSED BECAUSE THESE RUSSIANS CAN COME THERE.
• 06:57 THIS PLACE IS PART OF YOUR HERITAGE.
• 06:59 THIS PLACE IS PART OF YOUR DREAM.
• 07:02 PEOPLE OF THE BIBLE ARE IN CHARGE OF THE LAND OF THE BIBLE.
• 07:04 I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY TIMES IN HISTORY
• 07:06 WHEN CHRISTIANS HAVE LOOKED THE OTHER WAY WHEN JEWISH PEOPLE WERE BEING ATTACKED.
• 07:10 WE WILL ULTIMATELY SEE THE WORLD CHANGE.
• 07:13 GOD'S PURPOSES FOR ISRAEL JUST MARCH ON, DON'T THEY?
• 07:23 THE DEMONSTRATION WAS, WE DIDN'T WANT THEM TO GIVE UP THE GOLAN
• 07:27 BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER SAID BY THE RABIN GOVERNMENT OR, I'M AFRAID ANY OTHER ISRAELI GOVERNMENT,
• 07:35 BUT THE GOLAN IS GIVEN TO US IN THE BIBLE.
• 07:39 TWO AND A HALF TRIBES WERE ASSIGNED TO THE GOLAN.
• 07:43 YOU LIVE IN ONE OF THE DIFFICULT CITIES, I GATHER, HEBRON,
• 07:47 YOU LIVE IN KIRYAT ARBA, THE JEWISH SETTLEMENT.
• 07:49 HOW'S LIFE?
• 07:51 LIFE'S JUST LOVELY IF YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT THE HUNDRED THOUSAND ARABS THAT SURROUND YOU.
• 08:00 LIFE IS VERY, VERY NICE THERE.
• 08:03 THE OFFER WAS MUCH CLOSER TO THE PALESTINIAN DEMANDS THAN TO OURS,
• 08:06 BUT I SAID WITH ALL MY RESERVATIONS OUT OF NATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY,
• 08:10 I AM READY TO TAKE IT TO THE BASIS FOR NEGOTIATION IF THE OTHER SIDE WILL.
• 08:15 AND IT FOUND OUT THAT ARAFAT DID NOT, WAS NOT READY,
• 08:20 WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM AND TRIED SINCE THEN TO TURN TO TERROR
• 08:24 IN ORDER TO DICTATE HIS DEMANDS AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'LL NEVER YIELD TO
• 08:29 AND I BELIEVE IT GAINED US BOTH THE MORAL HIGHGROUND IN THE EYES OF ALL ITS PEOPLE
• 08:33 AND ULTIMATELY ALL IT'S GOVERNMENT IN THE WORLD,
• 08:36 AS WELL AS THE UNITY THAT WE ENJOY NOW FACING THE DAILY STRUGGLE AGAINST TERROR.
• 08:41 THIS IS NOT CONFLICT ABOUT LANDS.
• 08:45 WHEN WE WILL COME IN THE FUTURE,
• 08:48 TO DAYS IN WHICH THE CONFLICT WILL BE ABOUT BORDERS OR LANDS,
• 08:54 THEN WE CAN SOLVE IT.
• 08:55 IT IS ABOUT EXISTENCE OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL.
• 08:59 SOME PEOPLE GET HOTHEADED WHEN IT COMES TO TALKING ABOUT POLITICS
• 09:02 AND COLDHEARTED WHEN IT COMES TO TALKING ABOUT THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 09:05 ZOLA WAS PLEASED TO TALK ABOUT BOTH
• 09:08 BUT HE WANTED TO COMBAT ANTI-SEMITISM IN THE CHURCH AND WITH THAT IN MIND,
• 09:11 HE DID A WONDERFUL SERIES CALLED "JACOB, HAVE I LOVED".
• 09:17 ♪ISRAEL HAVE I CHOSEN, ♪JACOB HAVE I LOVED.
• 09:27 ♪I GAVE THEIR FATHER ABRAHAM ♪MY PROMISE LOVE.
• 09:37 ♪FOR HE SAW ALL AROUND HIM, ♪ALL THAT HE BEHELD.
• 09:48 ♪ISRAEL HAVE I GIVEN.
• 09:53 ♪JACOB HAVE I LOVED.
• 10:00 THAT MANY JEWS SOMEHOW THINK THE HOLOCAUST WAS A CHRISTIAN EVENT,
• 10:04 TOOK PLACE IN CHRISTIAN EUROPE, DIDN'T IT.
• 10:06 CHRISTIAN LEADERS WERE SILENT OR EVEN ACTIVE DURING THE HOLOCAUST WITH THESE ATROCITIES.
• 10:12 AND I JUST FELT THAT THE ONLY WAY THAT THE CHURCH
• 10:16 COULD EVER CLEANSE ITSELF OF THE BLOOD STAIN, JEWISH BLOOD,
• 10:20 WE SAY OH, THE JEWS, THEY SAID LET THE BLOOD OF THE MESSIAH BE ON OUR HEADS,
• 10:24 HANG ON, THERE'S BLOOD ON THE CHURCH'S HANDS
• 10:28 BECAUSE WE HAVE ALIENATED JEWISH PEOPLE FROM JESUS
• 10:31 AND WE MUST TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY AS HIS MODERN REPRESENTATIVES
• 10:35 TO STRAIGHTEN THINGS OUT, TO ASK FORGIVENESS BEFORE GOD
• 10:39 AND I'M SURE OUT OF THAT, GREATER SENSITIVITY TO ISRAEL WILL BE BORN.
• 10:43 THE MUSLIM CHILDREN, EVERY TIME THERE IS A MIDDLE EAST WAR,
• 10:47 ARE HEARD TO SING ON THE STREETS IN BETHLEHEM
• 10:51 AND IN OTHER CITIES ALL OVER THE HOLY LAND,
• 10:53 WE SHALL FIGHT ON SATURDAY AND THEN ON SUNDAY,
• 10:56 WE SHALL FIGHT ON SATURDAY AND THEN ON SUNDAY,
• 10:58 WHAT DO THEY MEAN?
• 11:00 WE FIRST KILL THE JEWS AND THEN THE CHRISTIANS.
• 11:03 IN SAUDI ARABIA NOW WE HEAR THAT A MAN AND HIS SON CAME TO THE LORD, THEY WERE BEHEADED.
• 11:10 SAUDI ARABIA DOES NOT ALLOW ONE CHURCH TO BE BUILT IN THAT HUGE LAND.
• 11:15 WHEN WE COME BACK, WE'LL HAVE MORE FROM ZOLA'S 27 YEARS ON TELEVISION.

• 11:59 AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, DO NOT BE AFRAID,

• 12:42 SIR, EXCUSE ME, SIR.
• 12:45 THIS COULD ONLY BE, I'M SURE YOU'RE THE PROPHET EZEKIEL.

• 12:53 LISTEN I COULDN'T WAIT ANY LONGER.
• 12:55 I'VE GOT A MESSAGE HERE NOW AND I HAVE TO COME ON NOW.
• 12:58 I'M TRYING TO TELL HIM THAT BACK THERE AND HE--

• 13:19 I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT EZEKIEL PIECE IN A LONG TIME, BUT IT'S A WONDERFUL PIECE.
• 13:24 YOU KNOW, WHEN ZOLA STARTED OUT IN THE STUDIO,
• 13:26 THEY REALLY HAD TO BE CREATIVE, BECAUSE THEY WERE REALLY WATCHING THEIR MONEY.
• 13:30 THEN THEY STARTED GOING TO ISRAEL AND GOING TO ISRAEL,
• 13:33 WHETHER YOU GO AS A TOURIST, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE FILMING, IS VERY, VERY EXPENSIVE, JEFF.
• 13:38 YES, IT IS.
• 13:39 SPEAKING OF MONEY, IF PEOPLE WOULD VISIT OUR HEADQUARTERS IN DALLAS,
• 13:43 I THINK YOU WOULD BE IMPRESSED OVER HOW MUCH MONEY WE DON'T SPEND ON OURSELVES.
• 13:47 IT REALLY GOES INTO THE MINISTRY.
• 13:48 IT REALLY DOES.
• 13:49 YOU KNOW, WE USE SO VERY LITTLE ON EXPENSES AND THINGS.
• 13:54 WE REALLY WANT TO GET THE WORD OUT TO PEOPLE OUT ABOUT OUR JEWISH ROOTS
• 13:58 AND ABOUT THE GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION.
• 14:00 ZOLA LOVED TO WRITE MUSIC AND HE WROTE 2 MUSICALS.
• 14:04 HE ALWAYS SAID,"MINE EYES HAVE SEEN" WAS HIS VERY, VERY BEST.
• 14:08 I THINK YOU'LL LIKE IT.
• 14:27 AND BEHOLD, THERE WAS A MAN IN JERUSALEM WHOSE NAME WAS SIMEON
• 14:32 AND THE SAME MAN WAS JUST AND DEVOUT, WAITING FOR THE CONSOLATION OF ISRAEL
• 14:37 AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS UPON HIM.
• 14:39 AND IT WAS REVEALED TO HIM BY THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT HE SHOULD NOT SEE DEATH
• 14:44 UNTIL HE HAD SEEN THE MESSIAH.

• 17:30 IF ZOLA HAD HIS WAY, HE WOULD TEACH THE BIBLE ONE HALF THE DAY
• 17:35 AND WRITE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC THE OTHER HALF.
• 17:38 PROBLEM IS, SOMETIMES HIS BLISSFUL MOOD WOULD GET INTERRUPTED
• 17:42 BY THE REALITIES OF THE HARSH AND VIOLENT WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN.
• 17:46 IN THE WAKE OF 9-11, WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN MARSHALED HIS RESOURCES
• 17:52 AND SENT TERRORISTS TO WORK IN AMERICA AND CALLED AMERICANS "CRUSADERS" FOR RESPONDING.
• 17:58 ZOLA LEVITT RESPONDED IN KIND WITH A SERIES CALLED "THE CRUSADERS".
• 18:09 IN 1095 POPE URBAN THE SECOND DECREED THAT THE CENTER OF THE KNOWN WORLD, JERUSALEM,
• 18:14 SHOULD BE FREED FROM MUSLIM CONTROL.
• 18:18 SPURRED BY RELIGIOUS FERVOR, WARRIORS MARCHED UNABATED ACROSS EUROPE TOWARDS THE HOLY LAND,
• 18:24 LEAVING DEATH AND DEVASTATION IN THEIR WAKE.
• 18:28 IN THE END, UPWARDS OF 30,000 MUSLIMS AND JEWS WERE MASSACRED IN JERUSALEM ALONE.
• 18:34 THIS WAS CALLED "A HOLY WAR". THESE WERE THE CRUSADERS.
• 18:43 AND 1000 YEARS AFTER MESSIAH, YOU HAD THE CRUSADES
• 18:49 AND THAT IS WHY WE'RE HERE AT CAESAREA.
• 18:50 BEHIND ME IS A CASTLE FORTIFIED BY THE CRUSADERS
• 18:53 WHEN THEY ATTACKED HERE IN THE HOLY LAND.
• 18:56 THEIR IDEA WAS PEACE THROUGH TAKING OVER THE PROMISED LAND,
• 19:00 CHANGING IT TO A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY, GETTING RID OF THE MUSLIMS
• 19:04 AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE JEWS, WHO THEY REALLY DIDN'T APPRECIATE AS CHOSEN PEOPLE
• 19:09 AND THEY DID TAKE THE PLACE OVER FOR A COUPLE OF CENTURIES
• 19:14 AND WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW THAT CAREFULLY.
• 19:17 AND IF YOU LOOK AROUND, YOU WILL SEE REMAINS OF IMPRESSIVE FORTIFICATIONS
• 19:22 OF A MOAT CUT IN THE ROCK, VERY MANY BUILDINGS THAT WERE EXCAVATED FROM THE LAST DECADE
• 19:28 AND IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, THE CHURCH.
• 19:31 THEY MADE IT A SHOWPLACE OF CULTURE AND ARCHITECTURE IN THE LONG RUN.
• 19:37 IT WAS REALLY WORLD CLASS IN THE 13TH CENTURY, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THEY LOST IT TO THE MAMELUKES,
• 19:44 MUSLIMS FROM EGYPT WHO TOOK IT IN 1291.
• 19:49 THAT'S NOT THE END OF IT, THOUGH.
• 19:51 1000 YEARS AFTER THE CRUSADES, I MEAN GIVE OR TAKE,
• 19:53 COMES OUR OWN TIME WITH OSLO AND THE ROADMAP AND THE VARIOUS PEACE PROCESSES
• 19:58 AND THE PEOPLE RIDING UP WITH DIFFERENT IDEAS OF HOW TO MAKE PEACE HERE,
• 20:02 THE SAME THING OVER AGAIN.
• 20:04 PEACE THROUGH DIVIDING THE PROMISED LAND IS THE IDEA OF THE ROADMAP OR OSLO,
• 20:10 GIVE HALF OF IT TO THE ENEMIES OF THE CHOSEN PEOPLE AND THAT WILL MAKE PEACE.
• 20:16 WELL, IT HASN'T SUCCEEDED.
• 20:17 NONE OF THOSE IDEAS HAVE WORKED.
• 20:20 THERE IS A CERTAIN SEGMENT OF EUROPEAN OPINION THAT BELIEVES
• 20:22 THAT IF YOU JUST SAT BACK, DID NOTHING,
• 20:26 BUT MAKE MONEY AND RUN YOUR BUSINESS,
• 20:28 THE WORLD WOULD BE A SAFE PLACE, THAT THERE'S THIS AUTOMATIC HARMONY OF INTERESTS.
• 20:33 THERE ARE 2 COUNTRIES THAT UNDERSTAND VERY WELL THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE,
• 20:40 THERE ARE ORGANIZATIONS OUT THERE THAT WANT TO DESTROY US.
• 20:42 THE EUROPEANS WHO LIVED UNDER THE WINGS OF THE AMERICAN EAGLE ALL DURING THE COLD WAR
• 20:47 HAVEN'T INTERNALIZED THAT CONCLUSION AND THEREFORE THEY SEE OUR ACTS OF SELF DEFENSE
• 20:52 AS DISTURBING THE INTERNATIONAL PEACE THAT THEY THINK OTHERWISE WOULD EMERGE.
• 20:56 YOU KNOW, THE WORLD AROUND US IS CHANGING AND I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S CHANGING FOR THE GOOD,
• 21:01 ESPECIALLY AT THIS TIME WE NEED FAITH.
• 21:03 YOU KNOW, I'M REALLY PROUD OF THIS MINISTRY THAT EVERY TIME SOMETHING HAPPENS,
• 21:07 WE GO BACK TO THE ROOTS OF OUR FAITH.
• 21:09 ZOLA, MADE A SERIES CALLED "CHAMPIONS OF FAITH"
• 21:13 THAT REALLY LET US KNOW JUST EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF FAITH WE NEED.
• 21:17 HEBREWS 11 HONORS THE CHAMPIONS OF FAITH
• 21:21 THAT WANDERED IN DESERTS AND IN CAVES OF THE EARTH.
• 21:26 BECAUSE OF THIS CLOUD OF WITNESSES,
• 21:27 WE CAN RUN WITH PATIENCE, THE RACE THAT IS SET BEFORE US.
• 22:02 YOU MIGHT SAY, WELL, WHY JUST DIDN'T GOD BUILD THE ARK, BUT AGAIN,
• 22:07 IF NOAH HAD NO WORKS TO DO HIS FAITH WOULD NOT BE A WITNESS, HIS FAITH WOULD BE DEAD.
• 22:13 WITHOUT WORKS, FAITH IS DEAD.
• 22:15 AT LEAST THOSE WHO SAW HIM BUILDING THE ARK
• 22:18 HAD A CHANCE TO CONSIDER, WELL, POSSIBLY THE OLD GUY IS RIGHT.
• 22:22 WHAT IF IT REALLY DOES AS HE SAYS, FLOOD, WHAT IF WATER DOES FALL FROM THE SKY
• 22:27 AND IT INUNDATES THE EARTH AND IT GETS OVER OUR HEADS, HOW WILL WE SURVIVE THAT?
• 22:32 IN THE FORTIFIED CITY OF JERICHO, A PROSTITUTE NAMED RAHAB LIVED IN THE CITY WALL.
• 22:39 COURAGEOUSLY SHE HID CALEB AND JOSHUA WHILE THEY SPIED THROUGHOUT THE CITY,
• 22:44 PROTECTING THEM FROM THE SUSPICIOUS KING.
• 22:47 SHE KNEW THAT THE GOD OF THE ISRAELITES HAD GIVEN THE LAND UNTO THEIR HANDS
• 22:52 AND ASKED THAT SHE AND HER FAMILY BE SPARED FROM THE COMING BATTLE.
• 22:56 AS A SIGN, THE SCARLET ROBE USED FOR THE SPIES ESCAPE WAS TO BE FOUND IN THE WINDOW OF HER HOME.
• 23:04 PATIENTLY SHE WAITED WHILE THE ISRAELITES PREPARED TO BESIEGE THE CITY.
• 23:09 BELIEVING THE GOD OF THE HEBREWS WOULD SPARE HER AND HER FAMILY
• 23:13 FROM THE FATE OF THE CITY DWELLERS.
• 23:16 BY FAITH, THE PROSTITUTE RAHAB, BECAUSE SHE WELCOMED THE SPIES,
• 23:20 WAS NOT KILLED WITH THOSE WHO WERE DISOBEDIENT.
• 23:33 THIS IS RICHARD FREIDAN.
• 23:35 WHEN HE WAS A JERUSALEM POLICE OFFICER,
• 23:37 RICHARD'S LIFE WAS OFTEN IN DANGER IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF DUTY.
• 23:40 HIS SOLACE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE LORD
• 23:43 AND HE HAS BECOME A FAITHFUL MEMBER OF BERET YERUSHALAYIM, A FELLOWSHIP OF JEWISH BELIEVERS.
• 23:48 RECENTLY HIS LIFE WAS ENDANGERED ONCE AGAIN, THIS TIME BECAUSE OF HIS FAITH.
• 23:54 TALKING ABOUT, ABOUT MESSIAH YESHUA,
• 23:56 WE WERE ALL OF A SUDDEN FACED WITH A VERY ANGRY CROWD,
• 24:00 SO MUCH SO THAT THEY WERE CURSING US AND THREATENING US,
• 24:05 THEY WERE THREATENING OUR LIVES AND THEY THREATENED TO BEAT US RIGHT THERE AND THEN.
• 24:10 ♪I AM THE LORD ALMIGHTY, ♪KING OF ALL THE KINGS,
• 24:17 ♪I'M FAITHFUL FOREVER, ♪MY MERCIES HAVE NO END, ♪NO END.
• 24:38 ZOLA WAS A CHAMPION WASN'T HE SANDRA?
• 24:41 HE WAS MY HERO, AS YOU WELL KNOW.
• 24:43 YOU KNOW, HE WAS ALWAYS REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SALVATION, ABOUT OUR JEWISH ROOTS, JEFF.
• 24:49 I'M REALLY GLAD THAT YOU'RE WITH US.
• 24:50 I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW SERIES THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE.
• 24:52 WELL, I'M GLAD TO BE HERE.
• 24:54 YOU KNOW, LIFE'S LIKE A MIST.
• 24:56 27 YEARS, HERE WE HAVE SIX TIMES, SIX PROGRAMS LOOKED AT ZOLA'S LIFE.
• 25:02 WE HAVE TO SEE THIS AS PRELUDE TO THINGS TO COME.
• 25:05 THE STORY CONTINUES, THE BIBLE NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT AND WE'RE GOING TO DO IT, AREN'T WE?
• 25:10 WE ARE AND ZOLA WAS SO PROUD THAT WE WERE 100% VIEWER SUPPORTED.
• 25:14 I THANK YOU FOR THAT SUPPORT.
• 25:16 IT IS SO IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY IN THESE TIMES NOW THAT WE TELL THE TRUTH.
• 25:21 YES, AND WE WANT TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT JESUS.
• 25:23 WE BELIEVE THE MESSIAH HAS COME AND HIS NAME IS JESUS
• 25:26 AND OUR SERIES, "THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ISAIAH" EXPLORES THAT.
• 25:30 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT FINANCIAL AND PRAYERFUL.
• 25:33 AND AS WE GO, LET ME ENCOURAGE YOU PLEASE,
• 25:36 TO REMEMBER TO PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
