Caption transcript for The Messianic Miracle: “The Effect on Christianity Today” with Dr. Michael Brown (3/4)

• 00:09 WHO'D EVER THINK WE'D BE ALIVE TO SEE THE AMAZING DAY
• 00:13 WHEN GOD WOULD AGAIN VISIT HIS PEOPLE IN A VERY SPECIAL WAY?
• 00:17 THIS IS THE DAY...
• 00:19 AND THIS IS THE WAY THAT ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS...
• 00:23 "THE MIRACLE OF THE MODERN MESSIANIC JEWISH REVIVAL"
• 00:30 HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
• 00:31 JEFFREY SEIF
• 00:33 WELCOME AGAIN TO ANOTHER EDITION
• 00:34 OF ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS,
• 00:36 THIS TIME A THIRD OF A FOUR PART TREATMENT ON THE MESSIANIC JEWISH REVIVAL.
• 00:42 WE LIVE IN A TIME TODAY WHEN MANY JEWISH PEOPLE HAVE COME TO FAITH
• 00:46 AND SOME OF US PARTICIPATE IN MESSIANIC JEWISH COMMUNITIES,
• 00:49 OTHERS ARE GAME TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BROADER CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP.
• 00:53 BUT EVEN THE MESSIANIC MOVEMENT ITSELF, THOUGH DISTINCT, RELATES TO THE BROADER CULTURE.
• 00:58 WE'RE GOING TO SEE HOW THAT'S THE CASE IN THIS PROGRAM.
• 01:00 BUT AT THE FIRST, OFF WE GO NOW,
• 01:02 I'M GOING TO SHARE A WORD FROM BARUCH HASHEM CONGREGATION IN NORTH DALLAS.
• 01:08 THIRDLY,
• 01:09 I WANT TO RAISE THE QUESTION
• 01:11 RHETORICALLY,
• 01:12 WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH?
• 01:18 OR...
• 01:21 TO BE A LITTLE MORE INCLUSIVE...
• 01:23 WHAT DO WE HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH?
• 01:29 FROM THE LATIN "ACCOMPLAIRE",
• 01:32 ACCOMPLISH MEANS TO FINISH,
• 01:34 TO BRING TO PASS,
• 01:37 TO PERFORM,
• 01:40 TO BRING TO COMPLETION.
• 01:44 THE WORD "ACCOMPLISH" THUS SPEAKS OF DEEDS IN THE WORLD.
• 01:50 LET ME LIST FIVE THINGS IN THAT REGARD.
• 01:53 IT'S NOT A COMPLETE LIST
• 01:55 BUT THESE ARE JUST SOME OF MY OWN KNEE JERK RESPONSES
• 01:58 TO WAYS THAT THE MESSIANIC JEWISH EXPERIENCE...
• 02:02 THERE'S CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE ACCOMPLISH IN THE WORLD
• 02:05 BOTH FOR OURSELVES COMMUNALLY
• 02:09 AND THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE ACCOMPLISH BEYOND OUR OWN CONGREGATIONS.
• 02:14 THERE ARE WAYS THAT WE CONTRIBUTE TO CHRISTIANITY IN GENERAL AND THE WORLD AT LARGE.
• 02:19 FOR EXAMPLE...
• 02:20 WHEN I THINK OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS...
• 02:22 MESSIANIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS INCLUDE
• 02:24 AND AS I'D SAID ARE NOT LIMITED TO...
• 02:26 NUMBER 1...
• 02:27 AND THIS IS NOT LEXICAL PRIORITY...
• 02:28 ONE COULD ARRANGE THESE DIFFERENTLY...
• 02:30 BUT TO MY WAY OF THINKING WE HOPE TO CONTRIBUTE TO INSPIRATION
• 02:36 THROUGH A NEW EMERGENT JUDAIC PRAISE WORSHIP AND DANCE EXPERIENCE.
• 02:43 ON THE ONE HAND,
• 02:45 ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE CONTRIBUTE...
• 02:46 AND WE HAVE HEROES IN OUR MIDST...
• 02:48 IN OUR PROGRAM WE'VE HIGHLIGHTED TED PEARCE, ONE OF OUR OWN HERE...
• 02:53 PAUL WILBUR...
• 02:54 MOST RECENTLY SHARON WILBUR...
• 02:57 WE HAVE AN EMERGENT BETH...
• 02:59 BY THE WAY...WONDERFUL!...
• 03:01 GREAT READER...
• 03:02 GREAT WORSHIPER...
• 03:04 THERE'S THIS EMERGENT...
• 03:05 THE LORD IS DOWNLOADING INTO PEOPLE.
• 03:07 WE CONTRIBUTE TO INSPIRATION THROUGH JUDAIC PRAISE AND WORSHIP
• 03:15 AND THE MUSIC THAT WE PRODUCE EXTENDS WAY BEYOND US.
• 03:20 THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN MESSIANIC JEWISH EXPERIENCE
• 03:25 WHO NEVERTHELESS PARTICIPATE IN THE WORSHIP.
• 03:28 NUMBER 2...
• 03:30 WE WANT TO PARTICIPATE
• 03:31 AND WE ARE PARTICIPATING
• 03:33 IN THEOLOGICAL FORMATION
• 03:34 THROUGH ADVANCEMENTS IN THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION.
• 03:37 WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT?
• 03:39 IN SEMINARIES ALL OVER AMERICA NOW
• 03:41 THERE ARE JEWISH STUDIES PROGRAMS,
• 03:44 CHRISTIAN EVANGELICAL SCHOOLS
• 03:46 THAT WANT MINISTRY STUDENTS IN ASSORTED MASTER OF DIVINITY PROGRAMS
• 03:50 AND DOCTRINAL PROGRAMS
• 03:52 AND UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
• 03:53 TO HAVE THE STAMP OF A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE
• 03:56 THAT WILL YIELD FRUITS IN THE NEXT GENERATION SHOULD THE LORD TARRY.
• 04:00 THERE ARE WAYS THAT MESSIANIC JEWS SIMILARLY ARE GAME TO REPAIR BREACHES
• 04:07 AND I KNOW YOU KNOW OF "TOWARD JERUSALEM COUNSEL II"
• 04:11 PRINCIPALLY THERE ARE OTHER ENDEAVORS AS WELL
• 04:13 WHERE MESSIANIC JEWS ARE GAME TO REACH OUT TO TELL THE STORY
• 04:19 AND TO FACILITATE SOME HEALING BY VIRTUE OF SO DOING,
• 04:22 TO NOT CAST ASPERSIONS
• 04:25 AND I CAUTION AGAINST THAT PERSONALLY.
• 04:29 YOU KNOW THE PROBLEM WITH THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IS THIS...
• 04:31 THE PROBLEM WITH THE BAPTIST IS THIS...
• 04:32 THE PROBLEM WITH THE PENTECOSTAL IS THIS...
• 04:34 I THINK WE SHOULD DECIDE OURSELVES...
• 04:36 WE SHOULD DEFINE OURSELVES
• 04:38 ON THE BASIS OF WHAT WE'RE FOR...
• 04:40 NOT WHAT WE'RE AGAINST.
• 04:42 (PEOPLE CLAPPING)
• 04:46 I BELIEVE PERSONALLY THAT IT'S BETTER TO LIGHT CANDLES
• 04:50 THAN IT IS TO CURSE THE DARKNESS.
• 04:53 I THINK WE DO WELL TO KEEP THAT ALL IN MIND...
• 04:55 IN ANY CASE...
• 04:56 RESTORING BREACHES.
• 04:58 ONCE I HEARD SOMEONE SAY "BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS".
• 05:00 WELL THAT CERTAINLY IS BEING FACILITATED THROUGH THE MESSIANIC JEWISH MOVEMENT.
• 05:04 THERE'S A RETURN TO FIRST CENTURY TYPE OF COMMUNAL JESUS EXPERIENCE.
• 05:10 THERE IS WITH THE MESSIANIC REVIVAL NOW
• 05:14 JUST HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS
• 05:16 AND HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF CONGREGATIONS ACROSS AMERICA OF DIFFERENT SIZES
• 05:20 AND THERE IS NUANCE DIFFERENCES AMONG THEM,
• 05:24 BUT THANK GOD WE'RE HERE.
• 05:27 THERE'S AN EMERGENCE
• 05:28 NOT ONLY IN ISRAEL
• 05:29 BUT IN EUROPE...
• 05:31 NOT ONLY IN AMERICA,
• 05:32 ISRAEL, EUROPE...
• 05:34 THE WORLD OVER
• 05:35 THERE'S THIS EMERGENT
• 05:36 CONGREGATIONAL MOVEMENT
• 05:38 AND EVEN THE TOUCH DOWN
• 05:40 ISN'T JUST WITH THE CONGREGATIONAL MOVEMENT...
• 05:42 AS I SAID EARLIER IT'S LIKE A PYRAMID...
• 05:44 THIS IS THE APEX...
• 05:45 THE TOP OF IT...
• 05:47 AND THEN THE BASE IS MUCH BROADER...
• 05:49 IT'S MUCH BIGGER...
• 05:50 IT'S CONSTITUTED BY WAY MORE INDIVIDUALS...
• 05:53 INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE SUPPORTERS OF US
• 05:55 THOUGH IN DIFFERENT WAYS DON'T DIRECTLY PARTICIPATE WITH US...
• 05:58 INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE MISSIONARIES TO THEIR RESPECTIVE CHURCHES
• 06:02 TO CORRECT REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY...
• 06:04 TO ENCOURAGE ENDEAVORS THAT ARE MORE JEWISH FRIENDLY.
• 06:08 WE HAVE A LOT MORE FRIENDS THAN WE THINK.
• 06:10 WHILE WHERE THERE ARE WITHIN THE MESSIANIC JEWISH EXPERIENCE SPECIFICALLY,
• 06:15 THE CONGREGATIONAL MOVEMENT,
• 06:16 SOME OF US WHO GAME NOT JUST TO GIVE JEWISH IDEAS
• 06:19 BUT TO PARTICIPATE IN WHAT DOES A COMMUNAL JEWISH JESUS RELATED STORY LOOK AND FEEL LIKE?
• 06:26 FIFTHLY, THERE ARE WAYS THAT THE MESSIANIC JEWISH EXPERIENCE
• 06:30 HOPES TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT I CALL AN AVOCATION FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS IN A VERY UN-RIGHTEOUS WORLD.
• 06:37 I BELIEVE THERE NEEDS TO BE A FRESH KIND OF ADVOCATING FOR TRUTH IN THE MARKET PLACE.
• 06:45 I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE TOO MANY THEOLOGIES THAT ARE DISEASED
• 06:50 AND THEY BIRTH WEIRD KINDS OF FRUITS
• 06:53 AND THERE'S SOME OF US THAT WANT TO STAND UP FOR BIBLICAL VISION
• 06:58 IN AN UNABASHED WAY WITH NO APOLOGIES IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.
• 07:04 IT IS GREAT TO PARTICIPATE IN ADVANCING THE MESSIAH'S KINGDOM.
• 07:09 I SHARED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.
• 07:11 NOW OFF WE GO TO MY GOOD FRIEND, THE DR. MICHAEL BROWN
• 07:14 WHO'S GOING TO BE SHARING ABOUT THAT AND MORE.
• 07:19 DR. BROWN,
• 07:20 ONCE AGAIN,
• 07:21 PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU WITH US.
• 07:22 THANK YOU JEFF
• 07:23 HERE I'M WANTING TO EXPLORE WAYS
• 07:25 THAT MESSIANIC JEWISH BELIEVERS ARE CONTRIBUTING
• 07:27 TOWARD THE EVANGELICAL EXPERIENCE IN GENERAL.
• 07:30 PARTICULARLY, HOWEVER, RELATIVE TO EDUCATION...
• 07:34 YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE GUYS WHO'S BEEN ENGAGED IN
• 07:36 TEACHING THE BIBLE TO ASPIRING PASTORS, CORRECT?
• 07:40 YES, I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE
• 07:41 OF LEADING MINISTRY SCHOOLS
• 07:43 AS WELL AS TEACHING
• 07:44 ON A REGULAR BASIS
• 07:45 AT A BUNCH OF SEMINARIES AROUND AMERICA.
• 07:47 WHERE ARE YOU HOOKED UP?
• 07:49 I TAUGHT AS A VISITING PROFESSOR
• 07:51 AT TRINITY EVANGELICAL DIVINITY SCHOOL
• 07:53 AND AT FULLER THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY SCHOOL OF WORLD MISSION
• 07:55 AND I WAS AN ADJUNCT AT REGENT UNIVERSITY
• 07:57 BUT I'M PRESENTLY AFFILIATED WITH SOUTHERN EVANGELICAL SEMINARY IN CHARLOTTE,
• 08:01 GORDON-CONWELL THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY IN CHARLOTTE,
• 08:04 DENVER THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY IN DENVER
• 08:06 AND THE KING'S SEMINARY IN CALIFORNIA
• 08:08 AND THEN I LEAD FIRE SCHOOL OF MINISTRY IN CONCORD, NORTH CAROLINA.
• 08:12 WE SHARE SOME COMMON GROUND THERE.
• 08:13 PEOPLE MIGHT NOT KNOW DENVER SEMINARY
• 08:16 AND THEY ASKED ME TO HELP LAUNCH IT...
• 08:18 A MESSIANIC JEWISH STUDIES PROGRAM WITH A MASTER OF DIVINITY DEGREE...
• 08:22 SIMILARLY YOU AND I ARE ADJUNCTS OF KING'S SEMINARY
• 08:25 WITH DR. HAYFORD OUT THERE.
• 08:27 IT'S REALLY CATCHING ON LIKE FIRE ISN'T IT?
• 08:29 IT'S AMAZING
• 08:31 AND I HELPED WITH "CHOSEN PEOPLE" AS THEY WERE PUTTING TOGETHER
• 08:33 THE CHARLES FEINBERG CENTER FOR MESSIANIC JEWISH STUDIES IN NEW YORK CITY.
• 08:35 THEY OFFER AN M.A. THERE CORRECT?
• 08:37 YES, THROUGH TALBOT.
• 08:39 SO SUDDENLY ALL THESE PROGRAMS APPEARING...
• 08:41 THERE ARE OTHER SCHOOLS AS WELL.
• 08:43 BUT HERE'S WHAT I FIND FASCINATING...
• 08:45 IF I GO OUT AND SPEAK IN A CHURCH SETTING...
• 08:47 WE HAVE OUR BOOKS,
• 08:48 OUR MATERIALS THAT ARE ALWAYS OUT THERE...
• 08:49 LARGE RANGE OF SUBJECTS WE'VE COVERED IN OUR BOOKS...
• 08:52 AND THERE'S ALWAYS AN INTEREST...
• 08:53 PEOPLE WILL BUY THE BOOKS...
• 08:55 AND IF I SPEAK AT A MESSIANIC CONGREGATION
• 08:57 THEY SEEM TO BUY TEN TIMES MORE...
• 08:59 THEY SEEM TO BE MUCH MORE INTERESTED IN STUDYING AND DIGGING DEEPER.
• 09:05 AND WHAT I FIND WHEN I'M TEACHING AT THE SEMINARY LEVEL...OR...
• 09:07 I WROTE A COMMENTARY ON THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH
• 09:09 AND SO THE SAME KIND OF THING...
• 09:11 THERE'S A PERSPECTIVE THAT WE CAN BRING IN.
• 09:13 I DIDN'T GROW UP STUDYING JUDAISM MUCH...
• 09:16 I WAS BAR MITZVAHED AT THIRTEEN...
• 09:17 BUT I WAS SHOOTING HEROIN AT FIFTEEN
• 09:19 SO I WASN'T THAT RELIGIOUS...
• 09:20 AND MANY TIMES PEOPLE THINK, "OH, YOU'RE JEWISH..."
• 09:22 "YOU UNDERSTAND ALL THE BACKGROUND"...
• 09:24 I DIDN'T KNOW ANY OF THE BACKGROUND
• 09:25 BUT AS YOU STUDY AND LEARN THIS...
• 09:27 I STUDIED WITH JEWISH PROFESSORS...
• 09:28 THERE'S A METHOD OF STUDY...
• 09:30 THERE'S A METHOD OF MEMORIZING SCRIPTURE...
• 09:31 THERE'S THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE RABBINIC COMMENTARIES...
• 09:34 I DON'T LOOK AT THEM AS AUTHORITATIVE THE WAY A TRADITIONAL WAY A JEW WOULD
• 09:39 BUT IT CHALLENGES YOUR THINKING.
• 09:41 WHEN I WROTE MY JEREMIAH COMMENTARY
• 09:42 I QUOTED CHRISTIAN COMMENTARIES,
• 09:44 I QUOTED TRADITIONAL JEWISH COMMENTARIES,
• 09:46 I LOOKED AT SOME OF THEM HOMILETICALLY,
• 09:48 EARLY RABBINICAL WRITINGS JUST TO PAINT A BROADER PICTURE
• 09:52 AND IT SEEMED TO HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT...
• 09:54 JUST ROUNDING US OUT
• 09:56 BECAUSE AFTER ALL JESUS WAS A RABBI NOT A REVEREND.
• 10:00 I THINK IT'S FASCINATING THAT...
• 10:02 AND I'M HONORED TO BE ABLE TO
• 10:04 PARTICIPATE IN IT BY THE GRACE OF GOD
• 10:05 AND THAT IS THE LORD RAISING UP
• 10:07 INDIVIDUALS TO CONTRIBUTE TO A
• 10:09 CHRISTIAN UNDERSTANDING OF THE BIBLICAL STORY.
• 10:12 I KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN A PROFESSOR TWENTY-ONE YEARS,
• 10:14 ADJUNCT NOW BUT FULL TIME FOR MANY YEARS
• 10:17 BECAUSE OF AN INTEREST IN WANTING TO LOOK AT
• 10:20 THE BIBLE FROM A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE.
• 10:22 WE WEREN'T EVEN ON THE MAP 50 YEARS AGO
• 10:25 AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN
• 10:26 WE'VE WRITTEN 50 BOOKS BETWEEN US LOOKING TO
• 10:29 EXPLAIN THESE THINGS TO EAGER HEARTS AND MINDS.
• 10:31 WHEN I'M AT SEMINARY TEACHING
• 10:33 AND I'VE HAD THE FOLKS THAT HAVE SAT IN YOUR CLASSES
• 10:36 AND THEY'RE JUST...
• 10:37 THEIR EYES ARE OPEN...
• 10:38 "WOW, I NEVER SAW THIS BEFORE!"
• 10:40 ITS NOT YOUR COMING UP WITH A BAZAAR INTERPRETATION OF THE GREEK THAT NO ONE EVER HEARD OF...
• 10:43 YOU'RE SAYING, "STEP BACK AND PUT IT IN THIS CONTEXT".
• 10:47 SUDDENLY THE LIGHT GOES ON FOR PEOPLE.
• 10:49 AND WHEN I TEACH JEWISH APOLOGETICS,
• 10:51 WHICH I'VE DONE NOW AT PROBABLY FOUR OR FIVE DIFFERENT SEMINARIES,
• 10:54 AND WE START TO DIG THROUGH THE TEXTS
• 10:56 AND THE NEW TESTAMENT USAGE OF THE OLD AND THINGS LIKE THIS...
• 10:59 QUESTIONS THAT MANY OF THE STUDENTS HAVE HAD ALL THEIR LIVES SUDDENLY GET ANSWERED...
• 11:03 IT JUST DIDN'T OCCUR TO THEM TO EITHER ASK THE QUESTIONS A CERTAIN WAY
• 11:08 OR LOOK FOR ANSWERS IN CERTAIN PLACES...
• 11:10 SO WE FIND THAT ITS ENRICHING JUST AS I CAN LEARN FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY
• 11:14 THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN CONTRIBUTE
• 11:16 AND ONE OF MY FRIENDS YEARS AGO SAID
• 11:18 THAT MESSIANIC JEWISH BELIEVERS HELP THE CHURCH GET BACK BEFORE CONSTANTINE.
• 11:23 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GOING WAY BACK...
• 11:24 WE'RE NOT TALKING NICENE CREED...
• 11:26 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GOING BACK TO A TIME
• 11:28 WHEN IT WAS VERY JEWISH TO BELIEVE IN JESUS
• 11:31 AND WHEN THE GREAT MAJORITY OF HIS FOLLOWERS WERE JEWISH,
• 11:33 HOW DID THAT LOOK AND FEEL?
• 11:35 AND HOW DID WE THEN SEE THE GROWTH INCLUDING THE GENTILES FROM THERE?
• 11:38 I THINK IT IS SO EXCITING PERSONALLY AS I'VE SAID,
• 11:42 I'M HONORED TO PARTICIPATE IN IT...
• 11:44 I KNOW THAT YOU ARE AS WELL.
• 11:46 TO ME ITS THRILLING THAT TODAY THERE'S A WORLD,
• 11:49 SMALL THOUGH IT IS...
• 11:51 AND ITS NOT THAT THERE AREN'T PROBLEMS WITH TELLING THE STORY
• 11:53 BUT THERE'S AN INTEREST IN LOOKING AT JESUS WITH JEWISH EYES...
• 11:56 PAUL WITH JEWISH EYES...
• 11:58 AND FOLK WHO ARE INVITING JEWISH BELIEVER, SCHOLAR, TEACHER TYPES
• 12:02 TO CONTRIBUTE TO CHRISTIAN UNDERSTANDING.
• 12:05 THAT'S SO AFFIRMING PERSONALLY.
• 12:07 YEAH AND THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT
• 12:09 KIND OF THE GUT HARD CORE "LIVE IT OUT" THING
• 12:12 THAT JEWS HAVE OFTEN EXPERIENCED WHERE ITS NOT JUST ABSTRACT THEOLOGY
• 12:17 AND I THINK WE CAN BRING THAT AS WELL...
• 12:19 AGAIN, EVERY PART PLAYS A ROLE
• 12:22 AND I KNOW WITH EVERY PART OF THE BODY THERE'RE EXTREMES,
• 12:24 THERE'RE FRINGES,
• 12:25 THERE'RE PEOPLE THAT GET CAUGHT UP ON ALL KINDS OF TANGENTS...
• 12:28 BUT I FIND FASCINATING VERSES LIKE
• 12:30 MATTHEW CHAPTER 5, VERSE 17
• 12:32 WHERE YESHUA SAYS,
• 12:33 "I DIDN'T COME TO ABOLISH THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS BUT TO FULFILL..."
• 12:36 AND IT GOES ON FROM THERE...
• 12:37 VERSES THAT MOST OF US NEVER PAID ATTENTION TO,
• 12:39 REALLY NOW IT SEEMS THE WHOLE BODY OR MUCH THE BODY'S
• 12:41 WAKING UP SAYING,
• 12:43 "I WONDER WHAT THAT MEANS?"
• 12:44 IT WAS THERE AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE GOD'S REMOVING THE VAIL
• 12:47 TO FORCE US TO LOOK AT THESE THINGS.
• 12:48 NOW IF FOLK WANT TO LOOK IT A LITTLE MORE CLOSELY
• 12:51 WITH DR. MICHAEL BROWN,
• 12:52 WE'RE GOING TO GET YOUR WEBSITE UP
• 12:54 WHERE PEOPLE CAN CONTACT YOU
• 12:55 AND YOU'VE WRITTEN BOOKS
• 12:57 AND THERE'S ARTICLES
• 12:58 AND PEOPLE CAN FIND MORE WHAT YOU'RE ALL ABOUT.
• 13:01 IF THEY GO TO

• 13:05 WE'VE GOT A FIVE VOLUME SERIES
• 13:06 ON ANSWERING JEWISH OBJECTIONS TO JESUS,
• 13:09 THE JEREMIAH COMMENTARY WE MENTIONED,

• 15:28 AND MARTY WALDMAN...
• 15:29 RABBI WALDMAN,
• 15:30 GOOD TO SEE YOU WITH US AGAIN TODAY.
• 15:32 THANK YOU SO MUCH JEFF.
• 15:34 WE BELIEVE AND I NOW YOU AGREE
• 15:35 THAT JEWISH BELIEVERS HAVE LEFT A MARK ON THE BROADER CHRISTIAN UNDERSTANDING.
• 15:42 HOW DO YOU SEE THAT TO BE THE CASE?
• 15:44 I BELIEVE THAT STARTING
• 15:46 IN THE FIRST CENTURY
• 15:47 WHEN THE FIRST JEWISH
• 15:49 BELIEVERS FOLLOWED YESHUA
• 15:50 AND AT THE SACRIFICE OF THEIR OWN LIVES
• 15:53 TOOK THE WORD OF GOD, THE GOOD NEWS OF THE MESSIAH, OUT TO THE GENTILE WORLD...
• 15:58 I BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT IS HAPPENING AGAIN TODAY.
• 16:02 THERE IS AN AWAKENING;
• 16:04 I BELIEVE IT'S BY THE PRESENCE OF GOD,
• 16:07 AMONG MANY, MANY CHRISTIANS...
• 16:09 AND EVEN MANY JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 16:11 BUT MANY CHRISTIANS
• 16:12 TO THE JEWISH ROOTS OF THEIR CHRISTIAN FAITH
• 16:15 THAT HAS BEEN LACKING OVER THE CENTURIES.
• 16:17 AND WITH THE RESURRECTED MESSIANIC COMMUNITY,
• 16:20 THE BODY OF MESSIAH THAT IS JEWISH,
• 16:23 WE ARE BRINGING BACK THIS JEWISH ELEMENT TO THE FAITH THAT MOST PEOPLE CALL THEIR OWN.
• 16:28 AND PEOPLE ARE GETTING IT IN DIFFERENT WAYS...
• 16:30 THERE ARE POPULAR BIBLES OUT NOW
• 16:32 WRITTEN FROM A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE,
• 16:34 THERE ARE PROFESSORS AND VARIOUS THEOLOGICAL SEMINARIES TEACHING FROM A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE.
• 16:39 THAT'S CORRECT
• 16:40 AND THERE ARE EVEN MESSIANIC JEWISH STUDIES PROGRAMS
• 16:42 THAT ARE POPPING UP IN VARIOUS SEMINARIES
• 16:44 WHICH I'M THRILLED ABOUT
• 16:46 AND EVEN AT OUR SYNAGOGUE...
• 16:48 WE HAVE A YESHIVA THAT WE HOLD
• 16:51 AND WE BRING IN PROFESSORS SUCH AS YOURSELF...
• 16:54 WE HAD YOU TEACH A COURSE ON THE TORAH.
• 16:57 AND WE BRING THEM IN NOT ONLY TO TEACH OUR CONGREGATION
• 17:00 BUT PEOPLE FROM SURROUNDING CHURCHES AND OTHER MESSIANIC CONGREGATIONS
• 17:04 WILL COME TO OUR YESHIVA TO LEARN FROM THESE PROFESSORS.
• 17:07 AND THERE'S A SENSE IN WHICH THIS TELEVISION PROGRAM IS A YESHIVA
• 17:11 IN THAT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WATCH
• 17:14 TO LEARN ABOUT JESUS FROM A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE.
• 17:17 YES, YOU KNOW JEFF,
• 17:18 ONE OF THE STRONGEST THINGS I FEEL IS
• 17:20 THAT ONE OF THE REASONS THAT GOD HAS RAISED UP
• 17:23 THE MESSIANIC JEWS AGAIN IN THIS TIME
• 17:25 IS TO HERALD THE MESSIAH'S COMING.
• 17:27 WE WANT TO JUST SAY THAT HE'S COMING...
• 17:29 WE BELIEVE THAT ONE OF THE GREATEST SIGNS OF HIS COMING ACTUALLY IS ALMOST A SECRET...
• 17:33 IT'S A MIRACLE
• 17:35 AND IT'S THE MESSIANIC REVIVAL THAT'S HAPPENING BEFORE OUR EYES.
• 17:38 YES AND BEFORE YOUR EYES RIGHT NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO TO BARRY AND BATYA SEGAL
• 17:44 MINISTERING IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
• 17:49 I THINK THERE'S BEEN
• 17:50 AN INCREDIBLE
• 17:52 GROWTH PATTERN GOING ON
• 17:53 BECAUSE WHEN I CAME ON ALIYAH
• 17:55 IMMIGRATING FROM AMERICA
• 17:57 AS A JEW OF COURSE
• 17:59 AND ONE WHO BELIEVED IN YESHUA,
• 18:01 THERE WASN'T MORE THAN MAYBE...
• 18:04 I CAN REMEMBER A HAND FULL OF CONGREGATIONS,
• 18:06 MESSIANIC CONGREGATIONS IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY
• 18:09 AND CERTAINLY NOT MORE THAN ABOUT 300 JEWISH BELIEVERS
• 18:13 WHETHER BORN HERE LIKE BATYA...SABRAS,
• 18:16 OR THOSE THAT IMMIGRATED LIKE MYSELF.
• 18:18 TODAY THE ESTIMATES ARE... WE'RE AT LEAST 12,000 JEWISH BELIEVERS IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL
• 18:24 WITH ABOUT 150 CONGREGATIONS NUMBERING ANYWHERE FROM 20 MEMBERS ON, ABOVE.
• 18:31 SO SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY HAPPENING AND WHEN PEOPLE PRAY FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN IN ISRAEL
• 18:37 I WANT TO BE SURE THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND GOD'S ANSWERING PRAYER TODAY.
• 18:43 IT'S MARVELOUS TO SEE SUCH GROWTH.
• 18:45 EXACTLY
• 18:46 BUT YOU KNOW AS I SEE
• 18:48 IT IS THE BODY'S GROWING HERE,
• 18:50 I SEE THAT ITS REALLY IN
• 18:52 FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY
• 18:54 AS WE'RE PREPARING THE PLACE FOR YESHUA TO COME BACK
• 18:59 AND SO THE RESISTANCE IS OF COURSE GROWING AS WELL
• 19:02 AND SO THERE IS DEFINITELY HARASSMENTS.
• 19:06 PEOPLE ASK ME,
• 19:08 "DO YOU FEEL HARASSED?"
• 19:09 "DO YOU FEEL PERSECUTED SOMETIMES?"
• 19:11 AND I SAID,
• 19:13 "WELL I DON'T KNOW IF I FEEL PERSECUTED"
• 19:15 "BUT I DEFINITELY KNOW THAT THERE ARE THOSE THAT ARE SEEKING TO..."
• 19:18 "THOSE RELIGIOUS POWERS THAT ARE TRYING TO SEEK"
• 19:21 "AND TO SEE HOW WE CAN BE DIFFUSED..."
• 19:26 "NOT AS INFLUENCED AND NOT AS..."
• 19:28 AND SO OF COURSE THERE ARE THOSE THAT WILL SEEK
• 19:32 BUT I SAY IT WITH AN UNDERSTANDING
• 19:36 KNOWING THAT IT IS GOD'S WILL
• 19:39 AND BASICALLY PREPARING THE WAY FOR HIS COMING...
• 19:42 SO THAT'S HOW I SEE IT.
• 19:44 SO YOU ARE ABE TO AS IT WERE
• 19:46 ENDURE IT WITH A SMILE AND A PRAYER AND...
• 19:49 EXACTLY, WE NEED TO...
• 19:50 WE HAVE TO MOVE ON WITH GOD'S PLAN
• 19:53 AND TRUST THAT...
• 19:54 AND I KNOW THAT THERE ARE MANY BELIEVERS IN THE LAND
• 19:57 THAT HAVE BEEN HARASSED
• 19:59 BIG TIME
• 20:00 AND I KNOW THAT YOU PROBABLY HEARD OF SOME OF THESE...
• 20:02 I CERTAINLY HAVE.
• 20:04 I THINK ALSO THERE'S AN ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE
• 20:07 BEYOND THE PHYSICAL REALM OF DAILY LIFE HERE...
• 20:10 THERE IS A SPIRITUAL WARFARE GOING ON
• 20:12 AS WE SEE JUST IN THE PRACTICAL GEO-POLITICAL REALMS
• 20:16 THERE ARE NATIONS THAT WANT TO DESTROY THE NATION OF ISRAEL.
• 20:20 WELL, THERE'S ALSO A PERSON KNOWN AS SATAN
• 20:24 WHO SEEKS TO KEEP THE GOSPEL
• 20:28 AND THE GOOD NEWS OF HOPE
• 20:29 TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE AS WELL.
• 20:31 AND SO THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE THAT TENSION
• 20:34 OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE
• 20:36 AND OF COURSE IT SAYS IN THE BIBLE
• 20:38 THAT SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS HAS HAPPENED FOR A TIME.
• 20:42 BUT WE KNOW THAT'S LIFTING
• 20:44 AND SO OF COURSE THERE'S GOING TO BE ALWAYS
• 20:46 THE TENSION OF LIFE AND DEATH STRUGGLES HERE
• 20:49 AND I THINK WE'RE IN THAT RIGHT NOW
• 20:51 ON ALL FRONTS CONCERNING ISRAEL.
• 20:53 I MEAN THIS IS A VERY, VERY DYNAMIC EXCITING TIME
• 20:58 BUT ALSO STRESSFUL TIME,
• 20:59 PERILOUS TIMES
• 21:01 AS YESHUA SAID WOULD BE IN THE END TIMES.
• 21:05 THAT WAS DAVID DOLAN WITH BARRY AND BATYA SEGAL.
• 21:08 AND AS BARRY AND BATYA NOTE
• 21:10 THE BATTLE RAGES ON IN ISRAEL,
• 21:12 SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL.
• 21:15 TO MATERIAL ISRAEL WE GO NOW
• 21:17 AS WE CONSIDER THE MIRACLE THAT IS ISRAEL.
• 21:21 MY SUGGESTION...COME TO ISRAEL...YOU'LL ENJOY IT...
• 21:23 THIS NINE - TEN DAY TRIP HAS TOTALLY REVOLUTIONIZED THE WAY I LOOK AT...
• 21:29 THE PROFOUND MEANING AND THE HISTORY BEHIND EVERYTHING AND...
• 21:32 WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF GREAT THINGS...
• 21:34 WE'VE LEARNED SO MUCH...
• 21:36 WHAT CAN BE MORE SPECIAL THAN COMING TO GOD'S LAND WITH GOD'S PEOPLE?
• 21:39 IF YOU WANT TO FALL IN LOVE WITH ISRAEL AND GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE I INVITE YOU TO COME...
• 21:45 YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
• 21:47 JOIN US IN ISRAEL FOR A TRIP OF A LIFETIME.
• 21:51 ISRAEL IS AN ENCHANTING LAND
• 21:54 AND IN THE BEST OF SENSES THE LORD BECKONS PEOPLE THERE.
• 21:57 IT'S HAPPENED FOR YEARS
• 21:59 AND IF OUR MINISTRY DIDN'T TAKE PEOPLE WE OUGHT TO BE SUED FOR MALPRACTICE...
• 22:02 WE DO...
• 22:03 WE SPECIALIZE IN IT
• 22:05 AND IF YOU CALL 1-800-WONDERS
• 22:06 YOU WILL TALK TO THE SPECIALIST.
• 22:08 TRACIE GLAD TO HAVE YOU ON BOARD.

• 22:36 THAT THE LOGISTICS
• 22:37 RUN VERY SMOOTHLY.
• 22:39 WE'VE BEEN GOING TO ISRAEL FOR 27 YEARS,
• 22:41 NEVER CANCELLED ONE TOUR
• 22:42 AND IN FACT,
• 22:44 I WANT OUR VIEWERS TO KNOW
• 22:45 THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY ON EACH TOUR.

• 22:48 AT THE KEY SITES
• 22:49 IN THE EVENINGS
• 22:50 AND IT'S JUST REALLY
• 22:51 A GREAT TIME FOR OUR PASSENGERS.
• 22:53 I THINK IT'S A TRIP OF A LIFETIME FOR PEOPLE.
• 22:55 IT REALLY IS A TRIP OF A LIFETIME
• 22:57 AND THAT'S JUST WHAT I HEAR OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHEN PEOPLE CALL.
• 22:59 IT'S JUST... >>IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE.
• 23:00 IT IS A DREAM COME TRUE
• 23:02 AND THE INTIMACY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO GET
• 23:04 FROM BEING IN THE HOLY LAND...
• 23:06 JUST THE FEEDBACK I'VE GOTTEN
• 23:07 FROM THE PASSENGERS;
• 23:08 IT REALLY HAS BEEN
• 23:09 THE JOY OF THEIR LIFE.
• 23:11 SOMEONE HAS TO DECIDE JUST TO TAKE THE PLUNGE AND DO IT.
• 23:13 ABSOLUTELY, THEY DO.
• 23:14 AND I THINK THAT WE WOULD BE A GREAT GROUP TO GO WITH.
• 23:16 I THINK SO.
• 23:17 GO WITH SOMEONE...
• 23:18 BUT GO BY ALL MEANS.
• 23:19 ABSOLUTELY
• 23:20 WE'RE GOING TO GO WITH THE LATE ZOLA LEVITT NOW BACK TO 1991...
• 23:24 A FILM CLIP WHERE HE,
• 23:25 A MUSICIAN HIMSELF,
• 23:27 IS ON THE MOUNT OF BEATITUDES
• 23:28 WITH VIVIAN,
• 23:29 A WONDERFUL MUSICIAN,
• 23:31 AND WE'RE GOING TO BE BLESSED
• 23:32 AS WE CONSIDER THEIR MINISTRY.
• 23:36 I SPENT TWO YEARS
• 23:37 SEARCHING THE OLD TESTAMENT
• 23:39 TO FIND OUT REALLY IF JESUS WAS THE MESSIAH THAT WE HAD REJECTED
• 23:42 AND IT WAS A SHOCK WHEN I FIRST READ THE NEW TESTAMENT
• 23:45 BECAUSE I THOUGHT
• 23:46 SOMEONE HAD FIXED IT...
• 23:47 IT WAS SO SIMILAR TO THE OLD
• 23:48 AND I WAS REALLY...
• 23:51 YOU HAD THOUGHT IT WAS AN ANTI-SEMITIC BOOK
• 23:53 TO BE READ IN THE CHURCHES ONLY
• 23:55 AND YOU DISCOVERED IT'S A JEWISH BOOK BY JEWISH WRITERS.
• 23:58 RIGHT, SO MY MOTHER HAD WARNED ME
• 24:01 NEVER TO BRING A NEW TESTAMENT IN THE HOUSE
• 24:03 AND NEVER TO MENTION THE NAME OF JESUS.
• 24:05 SO I WAS PRETTY MUCH AFRAID TO RESEARCH INTO IT
• 24:09 BUT I DID
• 24:10 AND I EVENTUALLY WAS VERY SATISFIED IN MY OWN MIND,
• 24:14 IN MY OWN HEART
• 24:15 THAT JESUS WAS WHO HE SAID HE WAS
• 24:17 AND THAT HE WAS THE MESSIAH THAT I HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR
• 24:21 AND THE WAY TO THE FATHER
• 24:23 WHICH I COULDN'T COME ANY OTHER WAY...
• 24:25 AND SO I GAVE MY HEART AND MY LIFE TO HIM
• 24:28 AND WAS BORN AGAIN AS A JEWISH BELIEVER.
• 24:34 VIVIAN'S STORY IS TOUCHING
• 24:37 AND THERE ARE SO MANY LIKE THAT
• 24:38 AREN'T THERE MARTY OF JEWISH PEOPLE COMING TO FAITH.
• 24:42 MANY, MANY JEFF...
• 24:43 YOURS AND MINE INCLUDED.
• 24:45 YES...WELL YOU'RE A RABBI OF A MESSIANIC CONGREGATION...
• 24:48 YOU GET THAT.
• 24:50 IN FACT MOST RECENTLY YOU TOLD ME AN ETHIOPIAN JEWISH WOMAN CAME TO YOU
• 24:53 AND WHAT'S THE STORY THERE?
• 24:54 EXACTLY...
• 24:55 SHE CAME TO FAITH
• 24:57 AND CAME TO ME ON SHABBAT
• 24:58 THIS LAST SATURDAY SERVICE
• 24:59 AND ASKED IF SHE COULD GO INTO THE MIKVAH.
• 25:02 THAT'S BAPTISM
• 25:03 EXACTLY...IMMERSED
• 25:05 YOU KNOW I REALLY THINK IT'S A MIRACLE FOR A JEWISH PERSON TO ACCEPT THE LORD.
• 25:08 NOW I'M A JEWISH PERSON WHO DID...
• 25:10 A MINISTER...
• 25:11 A THEOLOGIAN...
• 25:12 I STILL THINK IT'S A MIRACLE FOR IT TO HAPPEN.
• 25:14 IT'S A MIRACLE FOR ANYONE TO ACCEPT THE LORD
• 25:16 BUT IT'S A SPECIAL MIRACLE
• 25:18 WHEN JEWISH PEOPLE ACCEPT THE LORD TODAY.
• 25:20 THERE'S SO MUCH BAGGAGE THAT WE JEWISH PEOPLE HAVE WHEN WE THINK ABOUT YESHUA, ABOUT JESUS.
• 25:24 I'M AMAZED THAT I TOOK THE PLUNGE TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
• 25:27 WELL LOOK JEFF,
• 25:28 OUR FAMILIES ARE NOT FOR IT...
• 25:30 OUR COMMUNITY IS NOT FOR IT...
• 25:32 AND WHEN EACH OF US COMES TO FAITH IN YESHUA
• 25:35 WE DON'T GET A WARM RECEPTION,
• 25:38 IN FACT, WE GET REJECTION...
• 25:40 MOST OF US DO IN THE JEWISH COMMUNITY.
• 25:42 AND SO JEWISH BELIEVERS...
• 25:43 WE CAN USE ALL THE FRIENDS THAT WE CAN GET.
• 25:46 ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I WANTED TO DO THIS SERIES
• 25:48 AND SPEAK DIRECT TO YOU
• 25:49 AND THEN COME BACK TO RABBI
• 25:50 IS THAT IF YOU'RE INTERESTED
• 25:52 IN THE MESSIANIC MOVEMENT
• 25:53 AND WANT TO BE A FRIEND
• 25:54 THERE'S WEBSITES POSTED...
• 25:56 GO TO THEM...
• 25:57 YOU CAN FIND OUT ABOUT A MESSIANIC CONGREGATION NEAR YOU.
• 26:00 AND I WOULD BE THRILLED PERSONALLY
• 26:01 IF OUR CHRISTIAN FRIENDS WOULD WANT TO OPEN THEIR HEARTS
• 26:04 AND JEWISH PEOPLE AS WELL
• 26:06 AND ANYBODY WHO'S INTERESTED
• 26:07 TO GO FIND OUT ABOUT THIS MODERN DAY MIRACLE...
• 26:10 SOMETHING YOU'RE SPEARHEADING IN DALLAS
• 26:11 AND YOUR INFLUENCE GOES ALL OVER THE WORLD ACTUALLY.
• 26:14 I APPRECIATE THAT...
• 26:15 IT'S JUST THE LORD'S DOING.
• 26:16 AND SPEAKING ABOUT JEWISH PEOPLE COMING TO FAITH,
• 26:19 I'M THRILLED WHEN...
• 26:21 BOTH OF MY PARENTS ARE HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS
• 26:23 SO I'M THRILLED WHEN A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR COMES TO KNOW YESHUA
• 26:26 OR WHEN AN OLDER GENERATION COMES TO KNOW THE LORD...
• 26:29 WHICH WE JUST HAD...
• 26:31 A WOMAN WHO CAME TO FAITH AT BARUCH HASHEM IN THE MESSIAH...
• 26:36 SHE'S 86 YEARS OLD
• 26:38 AND SHE'S ALSO GOING TO GO THROUGH THE MIKVAH IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO.
• 26:40 AMAZING...
• 26:41 PEOPLE ARE COMING!
• 26:43 AND I AM THRILLED TO COME TO YOU AND BRING THIS STORY.
• 26:47 WE'LL LOOK AT IT AGAIN NEXT WEEK
• 26:49 BUT AS YOU GO NOW,
• 26:50 SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM
• 26:52 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM
