Caption transcript for The Warrior King: “A Messianic Proto-type” (6/8)

• 00:52 A HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU,
• 00:55 JEFFREY SEIF HERE PLEASED TO WELCOME YOU TO ANOTHER EDITION OF ZOLA PRESENTS.
• 01:02 AND HERE WE'RE GOING TO ONE OF THE MOST FANTASTIC FINDS IN MODERN ARCHAEOLOGY.
• 01:08 SOME YEARS AGO THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS WERE UNEARTHED
• 01:13 AND THEREIN WE FOUND A COPY OF THE BOOK OF ISAIAH,
• 01:16 ISAIAH WHO SPOKE ABOUT A COMING MESSIAH FROM THE LINE OF DAVID.
• 01:21 OFF WE GO...
• 01:22 YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT!
• 01:27 IT WAS THE 8TH CENTURY B.C.
• 01:30 THE PROPHET ISAIAH WAS TROUBLED BECAUSE THE KINGDOM HAD BECOME DEFILED BY GODLESS RULERS.
• 01:36 SURROUNDED BY THE RUTHLESS AND THE WICKED HE HAS A VISION OF A BETTER DAY.
• 01:43 HE WRITES OF A COMING DAVID-LIKE KING.
• 01:46 "AND THERE SHALL COME FORTH A ROD OUT OF THE STEM OF JESSE AND A BRANCH OUT OF HIS ROOTS"
• 01:54 "AND THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD SHALL REST UPON HIM,"
• 01:58 "THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING,"
• 02:02 "THE SPIRIT OF COUNSEL AND MIGHT,"
• 02:05 "THE SPIRIT OF KNOWLEDGE AND OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD."
• 02:20 YOU ARE LOOKING AT ONE OF THE MOST FANTASTIC FINDS IN BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGY.
• 02:30 IN THE 40'S A BEDOUIN DISCOVERED SCROLLS THAT HIT THE WORLD BY STORM
• 02:36 AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT A FACSIMILE HERE.
• 02:39 ACTUALLY I AM IN THE SHRINE OF THE BOOK.
• 02:43 AND HERE WE ARE LOOKING AT AN ANCIENT BOOK, THE BOOK OF ISAIAH.
• 02:48 COPIED BY THE SECTARIES AT QUMRAN MANY YEARS AGO.
• 02:53 ISAIAH WAS A FASCINATING PERSONALITY
• 02:57 AND HE'S WORTH CONSIDERING WHEN WE CONSIDER (SPEAKING HEBREW) DAVID THE KING OF ISRAEL.
• 03:06 THOUGH ISAIAH HIMSELF WASN'T PART OF DAVID'S ADMINISTRATION, ACTUALLY HE WISHED HE WAS.
• 03:12 AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE ISAIAH MADE HIS ENTRANCE ONTO THE STAGE OF THE HUMAN DRAMA
• 03:18 DURING THE ADMINISTRATION OF UZZIAH, A KING WHO STARTED OFF GOOD ENOUGH,
• 03:24 BUT A KING WHO WENT BAD, HE WENT SOUTH.
• 03:30 ISAIAH SAW HIS DEMISE AND IT'S RECORDED IN THE BOOK OF KINGS AND THE BOOK OF CHRONICLES.
• 03:36 NOT ONLY IS IT RECORDED
• 03:38 BUT IT SAID AS MUCH THAT ISAIAH WAS THE HISTORIAN THAT TALKED ABOUT THE DEMISE OF JUDAH UNDER UZZIAH'S ADMINISTRATION.
• 03:47 AND IT'S PERHAPS FOR THAT REASON WHEN ISAIAH BEGAN HIS PROPHETIC ADMINISTRATION HE SPOKE TO THE PATHETIC FIRST.
• 03:57 YOU CAN'T READ THE FIRST FIVE CHAPTERS OF ISAIAH
• 04:01 WITHOUT YOUR TOES CURLING IN YOUR SHOES
• 04:04 WHEN YOU HEAR HIS HARSH INVECTIVE, HIS DIATRIBE.
• 04:09 HOW THAT PROPHET GAVE VOICE TO A WORLD GONE BAD.
• 04:14 PRIESTS; THE RELIGIOUS, THE SECULAR, EVERYONE WHO WAS ANYONE WAS ON THE TAKE.
• 04:21 AND AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF THAT DRACONIAN INTRODUCTION, THE 11TH CHAPTER, HOWEVER,
• 04:25 AS WE SEE HERE ISAIAH SPOKE OF A COMING KING, A DAVID-LIKE KING.
• 04:32 WE'RE TOLD IN CHAPTER 11;
• 04:42 REMEMBER THAT JESSE WAS DAVID'S FATHER AND THE DAVIDIC HOUSE IN EFFECT WAS CUT DOWN,
• 04:48 BUT THERE WILL EMERGE FROM IT A RIGHTEOUS BRANCH,
• 04:52 A RIGHTEOUS ONE; A MASHIACH, A MESSIANIC CHARACTER.
• 04:56 WE'RE TOLD HERE;
• 04:58 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 05:10 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 05:12 THE FEAR OF THE LORD DOESN'T SPEAK OF TREPIDATION AND PANIC AS MUCH AS IT DOES OF RESPECT.
• 05:17 AND BECAUSE HE RESPECTS THE LORD, HE RESPECTS OTHERS.
• 05:22 ISAIAH WAS CHAGRINNED.
• 05:23 AND WHY IS THAT?
• 05:25 BECAUSE THE KINGDOM WAS VITIATED, IT WAS DEFILED BENEATH THE HANDS OF GODLESS RULERS.
• 05:30 HE SAYS IN CHAPTER 10 VERSE 2;
• 05:42 HE GOES ON IN THE 10TH CHAPTER; VERSES 2 AND 12,
• 05:45 HE SAYS THAT PEOPLE ARE ROBBED OF THEIR TREASURIES.
• 05:47 AGAIN LIKE OUR WORLD WHERE THE WICKED TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE WEAKER.
• 05:52 ISAIAH SEES A DAVIDIC-LIKE LEADER WHO REEMERGES EVEN CENTURIES AFTER DAVID.
• 05:59 AND THIS IS THIS MESSIANIC PERSONALITY.
• 06:02 WE'RE TOLD HERE THAT HIS DELIGHT WILL BE IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD
• 06:05 AND HE WILL RULE WITH JUSTICE AND EQUITY AND FAIRNESS AND GOODNESS.
• 06:09 NOW LISTEN TO ME, WE NEED THAT KIND OF GODLY LEADERSHIP IN OUR GODLESS WORLD AND I AM CONCERNED PERSONALLY.
• 06:20 I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU LOOK FOR IN LEADERSHIP BE IT CIVIL OR RELIGIOUS.
• 06:25 BUT PERSONALLY INDIVIDUALS THAT RESONATE WITH JUDEO-CHRISTIAN ETHICS REALLY MATTER TO ME
• 06:32 AND WHEN I DON'T SEE THAT I AM GRAVELY CONCERNED.
• 06:37 ISAIAH POINTED TO THE DAY WHEN SOMEONE WOULD EMERGE LIKENED UNTO DAVID.
• 06:44 AND THIS REFLECTS THE FACT THAT AMONG OTHER THINGS THAT THE MEMORY OF DAVID IS ALIVE
• 06:49 AND MAY THE MEMORY BE ALIVE IN OUR DAY.
• 06:52 AS WE'RE WITH SOME MEASURED ANXIETY LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE,
• 06:56 MAY IT BE YOUR PRAYER WITH MINE THAT GODLY PEOPLE WIELD INFLUENCE IN OUR CULTURE
• 07:03 TO THE END THAT WE MAY BE BETTER BY VIRTUE OF THEIR SO DOING.
• 07:11 AND THE LORD SAID, "WOE TO THE SHEPHERD WHO DESTROYS"
• 07:14 "AND SCATTERS THE SHEEP OF MY PASTURE."
• 07:17 THEREFORE THUS SAYS THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL AGAINST THE SHEPHERD WHO FEEDS MY PEOPLE;
• 07:23 "YOU HAVE SCATTERED MY FLOCK, DRIVEN THEM AWAY, AND NOT ATTENDED TO THEM,"
• 07:28 "BEHOLD I WILL ATTEND TO YOU FOR THE EVIL OF YOUR DOINGS, SAYS THE LORD."
• 07:39 BEHIND ME IS A SCALED VERSION OF THE CITY OF DAVID IN YERUSHALAYIM, IN JERUSALEM.
• 07:47 ACTUALLY HERE IN MODERN ISRAEL FOLKS SPENT A SMALL FORTUNE TO RECONSTRUCT THAT
• 07:52 AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
• 07:53 I'M TOLD BY A FRIEND, ELIA SIDES,
• 07:55 THAT THIS SITE IS ALONG WITH MASADA ONE OF THE MOST FREQUENTED SITES
• 08:01 THAT PILGRIMS WANNA CHECK INTO WHEN THEY VISIT ISRAEL AND THEY'RE EXCITED TO SEE IT.
• 08:06 JEREMIAH, HOWEVER, LOOKED AT THIS PORTION OF THE CITY AND HE WAS NOT A HAPPY CAMPER.
• 08:11 AND WHY IS THAT?
• 08:13 WELL HE SAYS IN THE 23RD CHAPTER OF HIS OWN BOOK, JEREMIAH'S ON RECORD SAYING,
• 08:25 JEREMIAH SAW DESTRUCTION COMING UPON THE CITY OF DAVID.
• 08:28 YERUSHALAYIM WAS GONNA TAKE A HIT BY THE BABYLONIANS.
• 08:33 AND WHY IS THAT?
• 08:34 BECAUSE JEREMIAH SAYS THE PRIESTS WERE VITIATED, DEFILED,
• 08:38 THE SECULAR RULERS WERE DEFILED AS WELL.
• 08:43 IN SO MANY WAYS IT WAS A WORLD LIKE OUR OWN.
• 08:46 THAT IS TO SAY THERE'S THE PRETENSE OF RELIGION AND VIRTUE,
• 08:50 BUT THE WORLD HAD LONG SINCE ABANDONED BIBLICAL ETHICS.
• 08:54 AND SO IT IS, JEREMIAH WENT ON RECORD SAYING THAT THE SHEEP ARE GOING TO BE SCATTERED
• 09:00 AND SO THEY WERE.
• 09:02 THAT'S THE BAD NEWS.
• 09:04 THE GOOD NEWS, HOWEVER, IS THAT JEREMIAH ENVISIONED A GOOD WORLD TO COME.
• 09:09 AND I'M GLAD HE DID BY THE WAY.
• 09:10 HE DIDN'T JUST LEAVE HIS CONSTITUENTS DESPAIRING,
• 09:13 AS WE'RE GONNA SEE IN A MOMENT WHEN WE LOOK IN THE BIBLE,
• 09:16 THOUGH HE HIMSELF DESPAIRED.
• 09:18 JEREMIAH IS CALLED THE WEEPING PROPHET.
• 09:21 HE'S SO VERY EFFUSIVE, EMOTIVE, HE'S WEEPING, WHY?
• 09:24 BECAUSE HE SEES THIS BEAUTY FALLING APART.
• 09:27 HE'S CALLED THE LONELY PROPHET AS WELL.
• 09:29 IT'S BECAUSE THIS PRIESTLY PROPHET WAS TOLD NEVER TO MARRY AND BEAR CHILDREN.
• 09:34 BECAUSE THE CHILDREN WERE JUST DESTINED FOR THE SLAVE MARKET IF NOT DEATH OUTRIGHT
• 09:39 WHEN THE BABYLONIANS WERE GOING TO COME AND RAPE AND PILLAGE AND PLUNDER, AND COME THEY DID.
• 09:45 JEREMIAH, AS I'VE SAID, SAW A BAD MOON RISING OVER THIS WORLD THAT SADLY IS SO MUCH LIKE OUR OWN.
• 09:53 BUT NOT ONLY THAT, HAPPILY HOWEVER, HE TELESCOPES TO THE FUTURE
• 09:58 AND HE SEES A BRIGHT SPOT BEGINNING TO EMERGE OVER THE HORIZON
• 10:03 LIKE THE SUN RISING FROM THE EAST AND DISPLACING THE PREVAILING DARKNESS.
• 10:08 HE SAYS IN VERSE 5 IN HIS OWN WORDS,
• 10:19 WE HEARD IN THE ISAIANIC PASSAGE EARLIER ABOUT THE "NETZER",
• 10:22 THE BRANCH THAT WILL SPRING FORTH.
• 10:25 AND BY THE WAY THAT'S WHY IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
• 10:27 JESUS IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CITY CALLED NAZARETH,
• 10:30 IT'S NAMED AFTER THE SAME,
• 10:33 THAT CONNECTION WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN LOST TO JEWISH PEOPLE IN THE 1ST CENTURY OF THIS A COMMON ERA.
• 10:39 IN ANY CASE, JEREMIAH TELESCOPES INTO THE FUTURE AND HE SEES THIS DAVIDIC PERSON COMING.
• 10:46 DAVID'S BEEN DEAD FOR YEARS BY THE TIME HE SPEAKS AND DAVID'S BEEN DEAD FOR A MILLENNIA,
• 10:52 BUT EVEN IN THE JEWISH WORLD TODAY WE SING,
• 10:54 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 11:00 BECAUSE THE MEMORY LIVES.
• 11:01 AND WHY IS THAT?
• 11:02 BECAUSE THE PROPHETS KEPT HIS MEMORY ALIVE.
• 11:04 AND WHY IS THAT?
• 11:06 BECAUSE AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF A DECAYING WORLD,
• 11:10 THEY SAW THERE WOULD BE AN EMERGENT DAVIDIC-LIKE LEADER.
• 11:13 WE'RE TOLD IN VERSE 6;
• 11:19 AND HE SAYS;
• 11:20 "UNDER HIS ADMINISTRATION ISRAEL WILL DWELL SECURELY."
• 11:23 AND THEN HE GOES ON TO SPEAK OF THIS LEADER AND SAYS,
• 11:30 "ADONAI TSIDKENU"
• 11:35 I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU FEEL, BUT IN MANY WAYS I'M DISCOURAGED WHEN I LOOK OUT...
• 11:42 I'M NOT THE WISEST OWL IN THE FOREST,
• 11:44 BUT WHEN I LOOK OUT OVER MY PERCH I'M NOT A HAPPY CAMPER WHEN I LOOK AT OUR OWN CULTURE.
• 11:49 I SEE AN ABANDONMENT OF JUDEO-CHRISTIAN ETHICS.
• 11:52 I SEE A PRETENSE OF RELIGION, BUT PEOPLE DENY THE POWER OF IT.
• 11:57 I FIND PEOPLE TALKING THE TALK, BUT I FIND ROT AND DECAY
• 12:01 AND FRANKLY I FIND IT IN HIGH PLACES.
• 12:04 LIKE JEREMIAH AND LIKE YOU PERHAPS, I, WE, HE LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY WHEN WE'LL SEE THIS EMERGENT LEADERSHIP.
• 12:12 THIS SERIES IS CALLED, "THE WARRIOR KING,"
• 12:15 AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR DAVID-LIKE LEADERSHIP IN GOLIATH-LIKE TIMES.
• 12:21 MAY IT BE THAT MORE AND MORE WOMEN AND MEN STAND UP FOR BIBLICAL VIRTUE

• 14:05 DISCOURAGED PEOPLE, DISORIENTED FOLK, DISTRAUGHT FOLK, THERE'S GOOD NEWS FOR MODERN MAN.
• 14:12 THANK YOU FOR GOING ON THE JOURNEY WITH US IN THIS SERIES "THE WARRIOR KING."
• 14:17 THE WARRIOR KING'S A STORY ABOUT A TURN AROUND GUY.
• 14:20 HE WAS THE LEAST KITTY IN THE LITTER IN HIS OWN FAMILY,
• 14:25 BUT DAVID RISES UP TO BE THE GREATEST IN BIBLICAL LITERATURE, ONE OF THE GREATS ANYWAY.

• 15:02 BUT WE POST STORIES ALL THE TIME, IT'S CURRENT.
• 15:05 WWW.LEVITT.COM GO TO IT
• 15:10 AND GROW FROM IT.
• 15:12 THAT'S THE PLAN.
• 15:13 I BELIEVE IT WILL WORK FOR YOU.
• 15:19 THUS SAYETH THE LORD GOD UNTO THEM,
• 15:22 "THEREFORE WILL I SAVE MY FLOCK AND THEY SHALL NO MORE BE PREY."
• 15:27 "I WILL SET UP ONE SHEPHERD OVER THEM AND HE SHALL FEED THEM, EVEN MY SERVANT DAVID,"
• 15:34 "HE SHALL FEED THEM AND HE SHALL BE THEIR SHEPHERD AND I THE LORD WILL BE THEIR GOD"
• 15:41 "AND MY SERVANT DAVID A PRINCE AMONG THEM."
• 15:46 "I THE LORD HAVE SPOKEN IT."
• 15:52 I'M COMING TO YOU FROM THE KIDRON VALLEY.
• 15:56 TO MY LEFT, YOU CAN'T SEE IT, THE ANCIENT TEMPLE ONCE STOOD
• 16:01 AND NOW THERE'S TURKISH WALLS ROUND ABOUT.
• 16:03 AND TO MY RIGHT THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
• 16:06 AND HERE IN A VALLEY WHERE SHEPHERDS USED TO FREQUENT VERDANT LANDS,
• 16:12 BUT THAT WAS YESTER-YEAR.
• 16:14 BEHIND ME IS A MONUMENT TO A NAME THAT'S NOT OFTEN REPEATED HERE IN ISRAEL.
• 16:22 IT'S A MONUMENT TO ABSALOM
• 16:24 AND WHY HE WOULD BE REMEMBERED IN A PLACE LIKE THIS IS ANYBODY'S GUESS.
• 16:30 BECAUSE TRUTH BE KNOWN HE HIMSELF IS PERSONA NON GRATA.
• 16:35 AND WHY IS THAT?
• 16:36 BECAUSE ABSALOM WAS DAVID'S SON WHO SOUGHT TO KILL HIM.
• 16:41 HE DROVE DAVID OUT OF HIS OWN PALACE;
• 16:44 MADE THE KING RUN FOR HIS LIFE IN THE LATER YEARS OF HIS LIFE AS ABSALOM...
• 16:50 THE NAME, "AVI" MEANS MY FATHER AND "SHALOM" IS PEACE.
• 16:56 HE HAS A NAME CONNECTED TO PEACE, MY FATHER IS PEACE,
• 16:59 BUT HE GAVE IS FATHER "TZOROS" TRUTH BE KNOWN.
• 17:03 "TZOROS"; HE GAVE HIM AGGRAVATIONS AS HE SOUGHT TO UNDERMINE HIM.
• 17:08 DAVID LIVED IN A PRECARIOUS WORLD.
• 17:11 THIS ABSALOM SCATTERED THE SHEEP, DROVE DAVID AWAY, CAUSED ANGST IN THE CULTURE.
• 17:18 AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
• 17:19 WHEN THERE'S BAD LEADERSHIP THAT COMES TO POWER IT DOES MUCH THE SAME.
• 17:24 DAVID MUST HAVE BEEN SPELLBOUND WITH GRIEF WHEN HE CONSIDERED WHAT HAD HAPPENED.
• 17:31 NOT ONLY HIS OWN POLITICAL DISLOCATION,
• 17:34 BUT THE FACT THAT HIS OWN SON, HIS WICKED SON WHO KILLED HIS BROTHER PREVIOUSLY, BY THE WAY,
• 17:41 THAT HE HAS COME TO POWER AND DAVID WAS NOT A HAPPY CAMPER.
• 17:48 WELL EZEKIEL REMEMBERS THIS STORY YEARS LATER THAT IS TO SAY THE DAVID STORY.
• 17:55 AND WHY IS THAT?
• 17:56 BECAUSE EZEKIEL INHABITED A WORLD MUCH LIKE DAVID DID
• 18:01 IN THE SENSE THAT BAD PEOPLE HAD COME TO POWER.
• 18:05 IN FACT THE WOUND IN JUDAH WAS IRREPARABLE, IT WAS NOT TO BE FIXED, JUDGMENT WAS METED OUT.
• 18:14 AND WHY IS THAT?
• 18:16 BECAUSE WICKEDNESS REIGNED FROM THE PALACE, WICKEDNESS REIGNED FROM THE PULPIT,
• 18:21 AND WICKEDNESS WAS UBIQUITOUS IN THE PEW EVERYWHERE AND IT WAS NOT TO BE FIXED.
• 18:27 SO MUCH FOR THE BAD NEWS,
• 18:30 DIFFICULTIES NOT WITHSTANDING IN A WORLD WHERE THE RIGHTEOUS WERE DISCONCERTED AND SCATTERED,
• 18:35 EZEKIEL TELEGRAPHED OUT INTO THE FUTURE AND HE ENVISIONED THAT A GOOD SHEPHERD WILL EMERGE.
• 18:43 HE SAYS...HE LAMBASTS IN THE 34TH CHAPTER THESE BAD SHEPHERDS
• 18:49 THAT ARE HEAVING DISCONTENT IN THE CULTURE.
• 18:52 BUT THEN HE GOES ON TO SAY, DIFFICULTIES NOT WITHSTANDING IN VERSE 23, AND I QUOTE, HE SAYS,
• 19:08 DAVID WAS LONG SINCE DEAD AS OF EZEKIEL'S WRITING,
• 19:11 BUT THE MEMORY OF THIS IMPERFECT YET RIGHTEOUS SORT, HE KNEW WHAT IT WAS TO REPENT,
• 19:16 HE FOUND FORGIVENESS, HE WAS A MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART.
• 19:20 EZEKIEL SAYS, WE NEED SOME OF THAT RULING AGAIN.
• 19:23 NOW ARGUABLY EZEKIEL'S LOOKING FORWARD.
• 19:26 HIS FORWARD THRUST TO THIS COMING DAVIDIC SHEPHERD HARKS TO THE MESSIANIC ERA.
• 19:33 WE KNOW THAT, BY THE WAY,
• 19:35 BECAUSE WHEN WE LOOK IN THE NEW TESTAMENT IN THE MATTHEAN GOSPEL,
• 19:38 THE MATTHEW TEXT WHICH WAS WRITTEN IN A SEMITIC LANGUAGE,
• 19:40 ORIGINALLY IT OPENS UP
• 19:42 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 19:45 HE'S INTRODUCED (SPEAKING HEBREW) THE SON OF DAVID.
• 19:50 AND WE KNOW IN THE NEW TESTAMENT AS YESHUA WENT ABOUT...SON OF DAVID, SON OF DAVID.
• 19:55 WELL, HERE EZEKIEL ENVISIONS THAT A DAVIDIC SON WILL EMERGE
• 20:00 AND WE'RE TOLD
• 20:03 AND THEN IN VERSE 24,
• 20:14 I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT THAT'S WHAT I WANT.
• 20:16 I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY WHEN "SAR SHALOM" COMES, WHEN THE PRINCE OF PEACE COMES.
• 20:21 BUT UNTIL SUCH TIME AS HE ARRIVES
• 20:23 I WANT DAVID-LIKE LEADERSHIP IN GOLIATH LIKE-TIMES RULING IN OUR LAND.
• 20:30 I WANT THAT MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART.
• 20:33 I BELIEVE POLITICIANS FRANKLY CAN BE VERY WELL INTENDED,
• 20:37 BUT I BELIEVE AS WELL THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENSIONS.
• 20:41 I WANT PRAYING PEOPLE RULING AND YOU AND I NEED TO PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY, FOR OUR CULTURE,
• 20:47 BECAUSE WE WANT GODLY LEADERSHIP AND WE NEED IT,
• 20:50 BECAUSE WE NEED DAVID-LIKE LEADERSHIP IN THESE GOLIATH-LIKE TIMES.
• 20:57 (Jeff Speaking) PAUL WILBUR'S A GREAT FRIEND AND I LOVE HIM IN THE LORD
• 21:00 AND I KNOW YOU'RE COMING TO LOVE HIM TOO.

• 23:35 GREAT SONG, GREAT MESSAGE,
• 23:38 ISRAEL'S A GREAT PLACE,
• 23:40 JERUSALEM'S A GREAT CAPITAL,
• 23:42 THE BIBLE'S A GREAT BOOK,
• 23:43 JESUS IS A GREAT SAVIOR.
• 23:45 WE LOVE TAKING YOU TOO AND TALKING TO YOU ABOUT GREATS.
• 23:49 AND SPEAKING OF GREATS NOW, ZOLA INTERVIEWS BENJAMIN NETANYAHU;
• 23:55 A MOVER AND SHAKER IN WORLD AFFAIRS.
• 23:57 AND HE'S GONNA TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE NATION STATE OF ISRAEL,
• 24:00 THE PLIGHT TO STRUGGLE WITH SOME BIBLICAL ECHOES ALL THE WHILE.
• 24:05 I DON'T THINK THERE'S BEEN
• 24:07 A MORE DRAMATIC EXAMPLE OF DAVID FACING GOLIATH
• 24:10 THAN ISRAEL'S BATTLE TO REASSERT THE JEWISH HOMELAND
• 24:17 AND REBUILD JEWISH NATIONAL LIFE IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL
• 24:23 AGAINST A SEA OF ENEMIES,
• 24:25 AGAINST ARAB ARMIES DOZENS OF TIMES OUR SIZE.
• 24:31 I THINK THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE MORE JUST AND NOBLER
• 24:35 STRUGGLES IN THE HISTORY OF NATIONS.
• 24:38 THIS TINY ISRAEL, WHICH IS ONLY 50 MILES WIDE,
• 24:42 IS ITSELF LESS THAN 1/500TH OF THE ARAB WORLD.
• 24:48 THE ARAB WORLD IS 500 TIMES,
• 24:50 THE ARABS HAVE 500 TIMES AREA OF ISRAEL,
• 24:54 THEY HAVE 21 STATES,
• 24:55 THEY HAVE ALL THE OIL IN THE WORLD OR AT LEAST 60% OF THE OIL RESERVES IN THE WORLD,
• 24:58 AND THIS TINY ISRAEL,
• 25:00 WHICH IS NOT EVEN 1%,
• 25:02 ITS 1/5 OF 1%
• 25:04 IS BEING TOLD THAT'S TOO BIG.
• 25:06 THAT'S TOO BIG TOO.
• 25:09 YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT NOT 40 MILES WIDE, YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT 10 MILES OR 15 MILES WIDE
• 25:13 AND YOU HAVE TO PUT ANOTHER ARAB STATE, A 22ND ARAB STATE
• 25:17 IN THE HEART OF THE JEWISH HOME, PROMISED TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 25:20 AND DOMINATING WHATEVER REMAINS OF A TRUNCATED AND INDEFENSIBLE ISRAEL.
• 25:25 THAT'S NOT JUSTICE,
• 25:27 BUT THAT'S WHAT MOST OF THE WORLD IS ASKING US TO DO.
• 25:31 IT'S SUCH AN HONOR TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO THESE NOTE WORTHIES IN THE MODERN WORLD.
• 25:36 AND IT'S AN HONOR AS WELL TO TALK TO YOU FROM THE ANCIENT WORD,
• 25:40 TO HEAR FROM BIBLICAL NOTE WORTHIES
• 25:42 WHETHER IT'S ISAIAH OR DAVID IN THE BOOK OF SAMUEL OR CHRONICLES OR WHATEVER.
• 25:48 INDEED I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A WORD FOR YOU FROM THE ANCIENT WORD.
• 25:55 AND WHAT IS THAT WORD?
• 25:56 GOD MAKES NEW LIFE TO COME OUT OF STRUGGLE.
• 26:01 HE DIDN'T HAVE A GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE IN BIBLE DAYS.
• 26:05 THE BIBLE SETS THE PACE, TELLS THE STORY AND WE EMBRACE IT,
• 26:09 WE WALK IT, WE LIVE IT, AND WE GO WITH IT INTO A SOMETIMES UNCERTAIN FUTURE,
• 26:15 BUT THIS IS CERTAIN.
• 26:17 AMIDST THE TURBULENCE OF TRYING TIMES WE CAN EXPERIENCE A GOD
• 26:21 WHO WILL BE THE STABILITY OF OUR TIMES.
• 26:24 YOU NEED TO REPENT OF YOUR SINS, ASK HIM INTO YOUR HEART,
• 26:27 AND MAKE YOUR WAY TO A GOOD BIBLE BELIEVING CONGREGATION.
