Caption transcript for “Highlights of 2012”

00:02 Announcer: THE FOLLOWING IS A PAID PROGRAM BY ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES.
00:06 (♪ Music ♪)
00:16 Narrator: BRETHREN,
00:17 MY HEART'S DESIRE AND PRAYER
00:19 TO GOD FOR ISRAEL IS THAT
00:21 THEY MIGHT BE SAVED,
00:23 FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE
00:24 BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK
00:27 FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL
00:29 IS RICH UNTO ALL
00:30 THAT CALL UPON HIM.
00:43 Myles: SHALOM AND WELCOME TO
00:44 ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
00:45 I'M MYLES WEISS.
00:46 Katharine: AND I'M
00:47 KATHARINE WEISS AND WE'RE
00:48 SO BLESSED TO BRING YOU
00:49 THESE YEAR-END PROGRAMS.
00:50 Myles: WE'VE HAD A GREAT YEAR.
00:51 WE WERE ABLE TO GO TO ISRAEL
00:53 SEVERAL TIMES AND GO TO GREECE
00:55 AND, YOU KNOW,
00:56 THERE'S SUCH BAD PRESS ABOUT
00:57 WHAT'S GOING ON IN ISRAEL.
00:59 WELL, WE ALWAYS FIND IT TO BE
01:00 THE CENTER OF GOD'S HEART
01:02 AND A PEACEFUL,
01:03 WONDERFUL PLACE TO VISIT.
01:04 Katharine: IT'S THE APPLE
01:05 OF GOD'S EYE; IT'S THE DESIRE
01:07 OF ALL NATIONS AND WE LOVE
01:09 TO BRING YOU THESE PROGRAMS
01:11 FROM THE SCRIPTURES,
01:13 FROM THE BIBLE IN THE HOLY LAND
01:15 RIGHT TO YOUR OWN ROOMS,
01:17 OWN BEDROOMS, OWN HOMES,
01:19 AND WE CAN ONLY DO THAT
01:20 BY YOUR WONDERFUL SUPPORT
01:22 WHETHER BIG OR SMALL.
01:23 WHATEVER IT IS, WE THANK YOU
01:25 FOR YOUR GIFTS OF FUNDS.
01:26 WE THANK YOU FOR STANDING
01:27 WITH US, WE THANK YOU
01:29 FOR PRAYING FOR THE PEACE
01:30 OF JERUSALEM AND WE THANK YOU
01:31 FOR HAVING A HEART
01:33 FOR GOD'S HEART FOR THIS PLACE,
01:35 THIS LAND, HIS HOLY LAND.
01:37 Myles: NOW THIS FIRST SEGMENT
01:39 WE'RE GOING TO BRING YOU IS WHEN
01:40 WE LANDED IN GREECE LAST YEAR
01:42 AMAZINGLY, EXACTLY WHEN THERE
01:44 WAS RIOTING AND UNREST THERE.
01:46 ISRAEL WAS AT PEACE, BUT GREECE
01:48 WAS FALLING ECONOMICALLY
01:49 AND WE WERE THERE
01:51 EXACTLY AS IT HAPPENED.
01:52 SO WE MADE A PROGRAM ON SITE
01:54 CALLED "THE KINGS OF THE EARTH
01:55 LOOK UP."
01:56 SO LET'S GO TO OUR CAMERA CREW
01:58 ON SITE IN GREECE.
02:01 ( Crowd Chanting Angrily )
02:20 >> IF WE ARE GATHERED
02:21 ALL TOGETHER.
02:27 ...TO RESIST AGAIN...
02:33 >> WE NEED
02:35 MORE RADICAL GOVERNMENT,
02:36 RADICAL MEASURE SHOULD BE TAKEN.
02:38 >> WE WANT TO CHANGE EVERYTHING,
02:40 THE POLITICAL SYSTEM HERE.
02:50 >> PEOPLE WITH DREAMS
02:51 ARE MISSING HERE.
02:55 >> YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
02:57 HERE THE ONLY THING IS MONEY
02:58 THAT COUNTS.
03:01 FIRST OF ALL, VISIONARIES.
03:05 Myles: WE'RE HERE IN ATHENS,
03:06 GREECE, WHERE THE HEADLINES
03:08 ARE CATCHING UP TO THE BIBLE.
03:10 EVERYTHING THAT'S WRITTEN
03:11 IN THIS BOOK IS GOING TO COME
03:12 TO PASS; THE PROPHETIC WORD
03:15 WILL BE FULFILLED AND RIGHT NOW
03:17 THERE'S A WAR BETWEEN THE WORLDS
03:19 TAKING PLACE.
03:20 THERE IS A WAR IN THE HEAVENLIES
03:22 BEHIND THE SCENES;
03:23 A WAR BETWEEN THE SONS OF LIGHT
03:26 AND THE SONS OF DARKNESS.
03:27 THERE IS A WAR THAT GOD
03:28 HAS PROPHESIED WOULD HAPPEN
03:30 IN ZECHARIAH 9, THAT THE SONS
03:32 OF ZION AND THE SONS OF GREECE
03:34 WOULD BE AT WAR TOGETHER.
03:36 IT IS NOT A WAR OF FLESH
03:37 AND BLOOD, AND YET IT IS A WAR
03:39 OF IDEAS AND HEARTFELT SINCERITY
03:44 WITH WHERE PEOPLE
03:46 ARE GOING TO PUT THEIR LOVE.
03:48 WILL THEY LOVE GOD OR WILL THEY
03:49 LOVE THE "ISMS" OF THE WORLD?
03:51 AND RIGHT NOW THE "ISMS,"
03:53 THE FACTIONS OF THE WORLD,
03:55 THE PERPLEXITY OF NATIONS,
03:56 IS COMING TO PASS
03:57 BEFORE OUR VERY EYES.
04:02 >> WE HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS,
04:04 AND THE SITUATION IS VERY BAD.
04:11 ...EVERY DAY.
04:17 ...FROM SOMEWHERE.
04:20 I DON'T KNOW FROM WHERE.
04:26 OKAY, AND HE CAN FIX THIS,
04:29 IT'S OKAY.
04:31 Myles: SUPERMAN?
04:32 >> YES, WE NEED A SUPERMAN.
04:35 Myles: IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT
04:37 ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY
04:39 OF AN ANTICHRIST,
04:41 OF A MAN OF SIN,
04:43 A MAN OF LAWLESSNESS BEING ABLE
04:44 TO STEP ONTO THE WORLD STAGE,
04:47 LOOK BEHIND ME AND YOU'LL KNOW
04:49 THAT IN THE TUMULT AND CONFUSION
04:51 OF THIS WORLD WE ARE WAITING FOR
04:53 AND PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR
04:55 A WORLD-WIDE PROBLEM SOLVER.
05:07 I'LL NEVER FORGET BEING
05:08 IN ATHENS DURING THAT TIME.
05:09 YOU KNOW, IT WAS CHILLING
05:10 TO HEAR A LADY ON THE STREET
05:12 ACTUALLY ASK FOR A SUPERMAN TO
05:14 COME AND SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS;
05:16 REALLY ASKING FOR THE ANTICHRIST
05:17 TO APPEAR ON THE SCENE.
05:19 Katharine: YEAH WE'RE IN A TIME
05:20 OF SHAKING AND WE'RE IN A TIME
05:22 OF UNREST, BUT BECAUSE WE'RE
05:23 BELIEVERS, WE DON'T HAVE TO PUT
05:25 OUR TRUST IN THIS REALM, BUT WE
05:27 LOOK TO AND WE RELY ON GOD
05:29 AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT WE PUT
05:31 OUR MONEY WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE
05:33 COUNTED FOR AS A PLACE OF
05:35 RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THAT'S NOT
05:37 ONLY IN THE KINGDOM, BUT IT'S
05:38 ALSO IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
05:40 SO WHEN YOU SOW A SEED AND WHEN
05:41 YOU GIVE A GIFT, WE'RE STANDING
05:43 WITH THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL.
05:45 WE'RE STANDING WITH
05:46 THE LONE SOLDIER PROGRAM,
05:48 WE'RE STANDING WITH
05:49 BENEVOLENT FUNDS HERE IN ISRAEL,
05:50 THAT NOT ONLY SUPPORT
05:52 THE SUPERNATURAL SUPPLY
05:55 THAT GOD HAS FOR THESE PEOPLE,
05:56 BUT THE PRACTICAL WAYS
05:58 THAT WE CAN MEET THE NEEDS
05:59 OF LONE SOLDIERS, LIKE SOCKS,
06:02 AND A BREAK
06:04 EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE.
06:05 Myles: THE NEEDS OF THESE KIDS
06:06 THAT ARE SERVING IN THE IDF
06:07 THAT THEY MAY NOT HAVE A MOM
06:08 OR A DAD ON THE SCENE
06:10 AND THEY'VE COME TO SERVE
06:11 THIS LAND, AND WE,
06:12 THROUGH OUR BENEVOLENCE FUNDS,
06:14 ARE ABLE TO STAND WITH THEM.
06:15 YOU KNOW, YEARS AGO, ZOLA LEVITT
06:17 MADE A GREAT PROGRAM, A SERIES
06:20 ON THE HOLY DAYS OF OUR LORD.
06:21 IT WAS SO GOOD,
06:22 SO MEANINGFUL, WE THOUGHT IT
06:24 WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA FOR US
06:25 TO REMIX IT AND BRING IT TO YOU
06:27 IN AN UPDATED FASHION.
06:28 SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK
06:29 AT THAT SERIES RIGHT NOW.
06:32 >> IT IS WRITTEN
06:33 IN THE SCRIPTURES
06:34 THAT WE SHOULD JOURNEY
06:35 TO JERUSALEM THREE TIMES A YEAR.
06:38 WE ARE GOING UP
06:39 TO THE CITY OF GOD,
06:41 TO JERUSALEM, TO CELEBRATE.
06:48 Zola: THE LORD TOLD
06:49 THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL TO
06:50 HONOR SEVEN HOLY CELEBRATIONS
06:51 EACH YEAR, INVOLVING
06:53 THREE JOURNEYS TO JERUSALEM.
06:55 EACH FESTIVAL WOULD BE
06:57 UNIQUELY FULFILLED
06:58 IN THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH.
07:06 ...SHADOWS OF THINGS TO COME.
07:15 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN.
07:16 WE'RE IN THE KIDRON VALLEY
07:17 IN JERUSALEM, JUST DOWN THE HILL
07:19 FROM THE TEMPLE SITE.
07:20 BEHIND ME YOU CAN SEE THE WALL
07:22 HERE ON THE EASTERN SIDE
07:23 AND, OF COURSE, THE EAST GATE
07:25 WHERE IN THE SECOND COMING,
07:27 ALL OF US WILL GO THROUGH
07:28 THE GATE WITH THE COMING KING,
07:31 THE LORD JESUS, WHEN HE RETURNS.
07:33 NOW, THE PEOPLE WENT
07:34 THROUGH THIS GATE
07:35 FOR MANY, MANY CENTURIES,
07:37 AND OUT IN THE WILDERNESS,
07:38 THEY WENT THROUGH A GATE ON
07:39 THE EAST SIDE OF THE TABERNACLE,
07:41 ALWAYS ON THE EAST, TO KEEP
07:42 THEIR BACK TO THE SUN WHICH
07:44 IS OUT THIS WAY, OF COURSE,
07:45 WE'RE HERE IN THE MORNING.
07:47 AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO COPY
07:48 THE EGYPTIAN SUN WORSHIP,
07:50 SO THEY TURNED THEIR BACKS
07:51 TO THE SUN AND WENT IN
07:52 TO DEAL WITH GOD.
07:53 AND IN DEALING WITH GOD,
07:55 THEY CELEBRATED FEASTS
07:57 AND THESE FEASTS ARE THE WORLD'S
07:59 OLDEST FEASTS BY A LONG SHOT;
08:02 3500 YEARS AGO, GOD GAVE MOSES
08:06 ON MOUNT SINAI THE INSTRUCTIONS
08:07 FOR THESE OBSERVANCES.
08:09 THERE'S NO OTHER SOCIETY
08:11 THAT'S ANY COMPETITION
08:12 WITH THE AGE OF THESE FEASTS.
08:13 THE OLDEST I CAN THINK OF
08:14 OFFHAND THAT ARE STILL KEEPING
08:16 THE SAME FEASTS THAT THEY
08:17 STARTED AT THE BEGINNING
08:19 OR THE SAME WORSHIP STYLE,
08:20 THE SAME GOD, THE SAME LANGUAGE,
08:22 ARE THE MUSLIMS
08:23 AND THAT'S ONLY 13 CENTURIES.
08:25 SO, REALLY, WE HAVE--
08:27 WELL, FOR EXAMPLE,
08:29 WHAT WE CALL "ANCIENT ROME"
08:30 IS HALFWAY BACK
08:31 TO THE FIRST PASSOVER,
08:33 SO THESE ARE OLD INDEED.

09:10 WELL, THIS IS THE FAMOUS VIEW
09:11 OF JERUSALEM.
09:12 WE'RE VERY NEAR THE SUMMIT
09:13 OF THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
09:15 THE ROAD THE LORD
09:16 RODE THE DONKEY ON
09:17 IS JUST TEN YARDS TO MY LEFT,
09:19 AND IN THE SECOND COMING,
09:21 HE WILL TRAVEL PRESUMABLY
09:22 THE SAME ROAD.
09:23 THIS IS THE ANCIENT ROAD
09:24 DOWN THE MOUNT.
09:25 IT'S BEEN REDONE
09:26 AND WALLS PUT UP AND SO ON,
09:27 BUT, BASICALLY, THAT'S THE WAY,
09:29 FROM THE SUMMIT
09:30 OF THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
09:31 TO THE EASTERN GATE BEHIND ME.
09:32 YOU CAN SEE THE GOLD DOME
09:33 OF THE ROCK, THE MUSLIM SHRINE,
09:35 AND THE EAST GATE IN THE WALL
09:37 WHERE WE WILL ENTER IN
09:38 THE SECOND COMING OF THE LORD.
09:41 WE'RE GOING TO TALK HERE
09:42 ABOUT THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.
09:44 THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDEST LAWS
09:45 IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
09:47 IT WAS THE DAY THE HIGH PRIEST
09:49 ENTERED THE HOLY OF HOLIES
09:51 TO MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR HIMSELF
09:53 AND FOR THE SINS
09:54 OF ALL NATIONAL ISRAEL.
09:56 WE FIND IT IN LEVITICUS 23:27:

11:11 HOW IRONIC IT IS THAT THE ARABS,
11:15 THE MUSLIMS, ENEMIES OF ISRAEL,
11:17 NO QUESTION,
11:18 HAVE BUILT A SHRINE,
11:19 THE GOLDEN DOME BEHIND ME,
11:22 AND PUT IT ON THE SITE
11:23 OF THE JEWISH TEMPLE
11:24 TO KEEP THE JEWISH TEMPLE
11:25 FROM EVER BEING REBUILT.
11:26 I BELIEVE THAT'S THE IDEA.
11:28 AND THEY END UP CALLING IT
11:30 THE DOME OF THE ROCK
11:32 AND INSIDE IS A BIG ROCK,
11:33 FOR ALL I KNOW,
11:34 THE SAME FOUNDATION STONE.
11:36 BUT ANYWAY IT'S AROUND A STONE
11:38 AS IF GOD WOULD NOT GIVE UP
11:40 THE IDEA OF THAT STONE
11:41 ON THAT SITE,
11:42 NO MATTER WHO BUILT THE TEMPLE.
11:44 AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DID.
11:45 ROMANS BUILT A TEMPLE.
11:47 CRUSADERS STUCK A CROSS
11:48 ON THE TEMPLE.
11:49 AS I OFTEN POINT OUT, THERE
11:50 WAS A TIME WHEN THERE WAS
11:52 A CHRISTIAN CROSS
11:53 ON A MUSLIM DOME
11:54 ON ROMAN PILLARS ON JEWISH LAND,
11:56 ALL ON THAT SITE
11:57 WHERE YOU SEE THE DOME.
11:59 BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
12:00 THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN A ROCK
12:01 THERE, THAT FOUNDATION STONE.
12:04 FINALLY, PAUL POINTS OUT
12:06 IN ROMANS 9:33:
12:18 AS IN OUR TIME, EVEN THOUGH
12:20 PEOPLE HERE ARE NOT BASICALLY
12:21 BELIEVING IN THE LORD,
12:23 HE IS THERE AND THEY STUMBLE
12:24 OVER HIM ALL THE TIME.

13:41 Myles: YOU KNOW, WE BRING TOURS
13:42 TO ISRAEL AND WE BRING YOU THESE
13:43 PROGRAMS FROM ISRAEL AND GREECE
13:45 AND FROM AROUND THE WORLD.
13:46 IT'S PRETTY INCREDIBLE THAT
13:48 WHEN WE TAKE PEOPLE TO ISRAEL,
13:49 I ALWAYS REMIND THEM
13:50 THAT THEY'RE GOING TO SEE
13:51 THE ANCIENT ROCKS,
13:52 BUT THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO MEET
13:54 THE LIVING STONES.
13:55 WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT?
13:56 THE BODY OF MESSIAH,
13:58 THE BELIEVERS IN THE LAND
13:59 THAT ARE PREACHING THE GOSPEL
14:01 AND SHARING THEIR FAITH
14:02 AND REACHING FORTH,
14:03 BRINGING THE GOOD NEWS
14:05 TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
14:06 IT'S NOT CONVERTING FROM JUDAISM
14:08 BUT IT'S FINDING THE MESSIAH
14:10 WHO IS THE MESSIAH OF ISRAEL,
14:12 AND WE'RE ABLE TO CONNECT
14:13 WITH THOSE PEOPLE; IN FACT,
14:14 WE DID ONE SERIES THIS YEAR
14:16 CALLED "ACTS, THEN AND NOW,
14:18 THE STORY CONTINUES."
14:19 Katharine: IT'S SO EXCITING
14:20 TO BE ABLE TO SHOWCASE
14:22 SOME OF OUR DEAR FRIENDS
14:23 IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL LIVING OUT
14:25 THE FAITH OF THEIR FATHER,
14:27 THE FATHER OF FAITH, ABRAHAM.
14:29 YOU KNOW,
14:30 THE "ACTS, THEN AND NOW"
14:31 IS TELLING THE STORY THAT GOD
14:33 IS CONTINUALLY ON THE MOVE.
14:35 THERE ARE MORE JEWS
14:36 COMING TO FAITH TODAY
14:37 THAN IN THE BOOK OF ACTS,
14:39 AND THAT'S WHAT WE EMPHASIZE
14:40 IN THIS SERIES.
14:41 AND WE'RE SO HAPPY
14:42 TO BE ABLE TO BRING THEM TO YOU.
14:43 MYLES, IT WAS A JOY FOR US.
14:45 Myles: IT REALLY WAS
14:46 BECAUSE WE'VE LABORED ALONGSIDE
14:47 THESE FOLKS FOR SO MANY YEARS,
14:48 AND ONE OF THE GREAT ASPECTS
14:50 OF IT WAS REALLY SHOWING
14:51 THE REALITY OF THE "ONE NEW MAN"
14:53 OF EPHESIANS 2:14 AND FOLLOWING,
14:55 BY WHICH I MEAN
14:56 THAT WE'VE SHOWCASED
14:57 NOT ONLY THE JEWISH BELIEVERS,
14:59 BUT ALSO THE ARAB BELIEVERS.
15:01 WE BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER
15:02 AND IN THAT SERIES
15:03 WE WERE ABLE TO SHOW YOU
15:05 SOME OF THE ARAB CHRISTIANS
15:07 THAT ARE STANDING FOR GOD
15:08 IN SOME PLACES
15:09 WHERE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT,
15:10 AS WELL AS THE JEWISH BELIEVERS
15:12 STANDING FOR GOD,
15:13 AND SHOWING YOU THEM TOGETHER,
15:14 SO YOU CAN RECOGNIZE
15:16 THAT GOD HAS BROKEN DOWN
15:17 THE MIDDLE WALL OF PARTITION
15:19 AND MADE THE TWO ONE.
15:20 IT'S REALLY
15:21 ONE OF OUR FAVORITE SERIES.
15:23 SO LET'S SHOW YOU
15:25 A SEGMENT OF THAT RIGHT NOW.

16:07 Asher Intrater: WELL,
16:08 IT'S INTERESTING,
16:09 AS A YOUNG JEWISH MAN,
16:10 GREW UP IN A SYNAGOGUE
16:12 AND DID WELL IN MY STUDIES,
16:15 WAS ACCEPTED TO HARVARD.
16:17 AND WHEN I GOT THERE,
16:18 LIKE AS MANY YOUNG PEOPLE DID,
16:19 I BEGAN TO SEARCH FOR TRUTH
16:21 AND BEGAN TO STUDY PHILOSOPHY,
16:23 ANCIENT LITERATURES,
16:25 COMPARATIVE RELIGIONS
16:26 AT HARVARD, AND I NEVER FELT
16:29 THAT I FOUND SOMETHING.
16:31 AND I REMEMBER I WAS STANDING
16:32 THERE, READY TO GET MY DEGREE
16:34 AFTER FOUR YEARS,
16:35 VERY FORMAL CEREMONY,
16:36 MY PARENTS IN THE AUDIENCE,
16:38 WITH THE CAP AND GOWN ON,
16:40 AND I WAS STANDING IN LINE AND
16:42 I HAD THIS MOMENT OF REPENTANCE.
16:44 I THOUGHT, "WHAT DID I DO
16:45 WITH ALL THIS TIME
16:46 AND ALL THIS MONEY?"
16:48 AND I DIDN'T REALLY BELIEVE IN
16:49 GOD AT THAT TIME, BUT I SORT OF
16:50 LOOKED UP IN THE AIR AND SAID,
16:52 "GOD, IF YOU'RE THERE,
16:53 I JUST REPENT THAT I SPENT
16:55 ALL MY PARENT'S MONEY
16:56 AND SPENT ALL THIS TIME.
16:58 AND I ONLY LEARNED ONE THING:
17:00 THAT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
17:01 I'LL NEVER THINK JUST BECAUSE
17:02 SOMEONE IS A PROFESSOR
17:03 OR A DOCTOR OR HAS SOME TITLE,
17:06 THAT HE REALLY KNOWS ANYTHING
17:07 ABOUT THE MEANING OF LIFE."
17:08 Myles: GOOD.
17:09 Asher: AND WHEN I SAID THAT,
17:10 IT WAS FUNNY,
17:11 I HEARD A VOICE ON THE INSIDE.
17:13 IT SAID TO ME, "FOR THE PLAN
17:15 THAT I HAVE FOR YOUR LIFE,
17:17 ALL THAT TIME AND ALL THAT MONEY
17:19 WAS WORTH IT FOR YOU TO LEARN
17:21 JUST THAT ONE THING."
17:23 I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THAT WAS.
17:25 I STILL DIDN'T KNOW.
17:27 SEVERAL YEARS LATER,
17:28 WHEN I CAME TO THE LORD
17:29 AND I RECOGNIZED HIS VOICE,
17:31 I SAID, "AH,
17:32 THAT WAS YOU THAT TALKED TO ME."
17:33 AND I UNDERSTOOD THAT THAT WAS
17:34 THE FIRST TIME THAT THE LORD
17:35 TOUCHED ME AND BEGAN TO CALL ME

17:55 I'M ON THE SOUTHERN STEPS

18:03 THERE WAS NOTHING LIKE IT.
18:05 AND HERE, ON THE SOUTHERN STEPS,
18:06 WAS WHERE THE PILGRIMS
18:08 WOULD ENTER AND EXIT

18:11 AS MANDATED BY LEVITICUS 23.

18:37 THAT ALL MEN, ALL PEOPLE
18:39 ARE GOING TO ONE PLACE,
18:40 THEY ARE GOING TO THE UNDERWORLD

18:43 SO WHEN THEY BURY THEIR DEAD,
18:44 THEY USED TO PUT COINS
18:45 ON THEIR EYES AND IN THEIR MOUTH

18:55 ACROSS THE RIVER STYX
18:58 TO THE UNDERWORLD.
18:59 SO ONLY THEIR GODS
19:00 OR THEIR IDOLS HAD ETERNAL LIFE,
19:04 NOT THE PEOPLE,
19:06 ALL PEOPLE WENT TO ONE PLACE,
19:08 TO HADES.
19:10 SO WE ARE LOOKING IN A WAY
19:11 AT THE DOORWAYS OR THE GATES,
19:13 ONE OF THE DOORWAYS
19:14 THAT LEAD TO HELL, TO HADES.
19:17 AND IN THEIR MINDSET,
19:18 THE HIGH MOUNTAIN NEARBY,
19:20 WE'RE NOW AT THE BASE
19:21 OF MT. HERMON,
19:22 THE HIGH MOUNTAIN WAS THE PLACE
19:24 WHERE THEIR GODS WERE LIVING,
19:26 AS IT WAS IN GREECE
19:28 AND THE OLYMPUS.
19:29 AND THE GODS HAVE ETERNAL LIFE,
19:31 THEY LIVE UPON HIGH MOUNTAINS,
19:32 BUT THE PEOPLE, THEY ALL GO
19:33 TO ONE PLACE, TO HADES.
19:36 SO JESUS CAME HERE TO SHOW
19:39 AND TO ASK THE QUESTION
19:40 "WHO DO MEN SAY THAT I AM?"
19:42 IN THIS PAGAN CENTER,
19:43 WORSHIP CENTER,
19:45 IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
19:47 IT IS PROBABLY ALSO THE REASON
19:50 WHY HE ALSO TOOK PETER, JAMES
19:54 AND JOHN TO THE HIGH MOUNTAIN,
19:56 ACTUALLY, IT MEANS FROM
19:57 MT. HERMON, AND WAS TRANSFIGURED
20:00 BEFORE THEIR EYES TO SHOW
20:01 THAT HE WAS THE TRUE WAY,
20:03 THE TRUE GOD,
20:04 AND ALL THOSE FALSE IDOLS
20:05 THAT PEOPLE BACK THEN
20:06 USED TO WORSHIP RIGHT HERE.

22:25 Myles: "ACTS, THEN AND NOW,
22:26 THE STORY CONTINUES"
22:27 IT REALLY DOES SHOW WHAT GOD
22:28 IS DOING IN THE LAND TODAY.
22:30 WE TELL OUR TOUR GOERS,
22:31 WHEN YOU GET HOME,
22:32 GET THIS SERIES AND REVIEW
22:34 ALL THE PLACES YOU'VE SEEN,
22:35 AND LET GOD REMIND YOU
22:37 OF HOW THE SCRIPTURE'S
22:38 COMING ALIVE TODAY.
22:39 Katharine: YEAH, WE OVERCOME
22:40 THE ENEMY THROUGH THE BLOOD
22:41 OF THE LAMB, THE WORD
22:42 OF OUR TESTIMONY AND LOVING NOT
22:43 OUR LIFE UNTO DEATH, AND THAT'S
22:45 WHAT WE SEE IN THIS ACTS SERIES.
22:47 WE ALSO ARE GRATEFUL TO BE ABLE
22:49 TO BRING YOU HIGHLIGHTS
22:50 FROM RICK WIENECKE'S PROGRAM
22:52 ON "THE FOUNTAIN OF TEARS."
22:54 Myles: RICK IS A SCULPTOR IN
22:56 THE DESERT SOUTH OF JERUSALEM,
22:59 AND HE'S PUT TOGETHER
23:00 TWO OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE PARTS
23:03 OF LIFE ON PLANET EARTH AND
23:04 ESPECIALLY TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE:
23:06 THE HOLOCAUST IN EUROPE,
23:07 AND THE CRUCIFIXION OF YESHUA.
23:10 AND IN THIS SCULPTURE THAT HE'S
23:11 MADE, "THE FOUNTAIN OF TEARS,"
23:14 WE REALLY SEE THE HEART OF GOD
23:16 REACHING FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
23:18 SO LET'S GO TO OUR PROGRAM
23:19 WITH RICK WIENECKE,
23:21 "THE FOUNTAIN OF TEARS,
23:22 BEAUTY FROM ASHES."
23:26 Rick Wienecke: THIS FINAL PIECE,
23:28 WE CALL IT "A RESURRECTION
23:30 OF RELATIONSHIP."
23:32 IT'S THE TWO PARTS
23:33 OF THE FOUNTAIN,
23:34 THE TWO PARTS OF THIS DIALOGUE
23:35 OF SUFFERING, COMING TOGETHER
23:38 WITHIN AN EMBRACE.
23:40 BOTH OF THE FIGURES ARE COMING
23:42 OUT OF THE STONES THAT REPRESENT
23:44 THE PERISHED AND COMING INTO
23:46 A PLACE WHERE THEY FINALLY
23:48 RECOGNIZE EACH OTHER.
23:51 BOTH OF THEM WITHIN THIS STANCE,
23:53 OVER THEM IS RAISED
23:55 THE CUP OF SUFFERING.
23:57 THE CUP OF SUFFERING
23:58 IS NOW EMPTY.
23:59 IT'S BEEN DRUNK.
24:01 BOTH OF THEM CAN IDENTIFY
24:03 TO THIS PLACE OF SUFFERING,
24:05 AND SOMEHOW, WITHIN THIS WOUND,
24:08 BOTH OF THEM RECOGNIZE
24:09 EACH OTHER.
24:11 THERE'S THE SEVEN
24:12 CRUCIFIXION PANELS,
24:14 EACH ONE OF THEM BEING
24:15 ONE OF THE SEVEN LAST WORDS.
24:17 BUT A DIVIDER
24:18 BETWEEN EACH ONE OF THE PANELS
24:21 IS SIX PILLARS OF STONE.
24:23 THE SIX PILLARS OF STONE
24:25 REPRESENT A MEMORIAL
24:26 TO THE 6 MILLION.
24:28 WHAT YOU SEE
24:29 OVER THE SURFACE OF THE STONES
24:32 IS WATER GOING OVER THE SURFACE
24:34 REALLY SLOWLY BECAUSE WE WANTED
24:37 THE SENSE OF TEARS WITHIN THIS.
24:40 BECAUSE ONE OF THE MAIN WORDS
24:42 THAT WE GOT IN THE BEGINNING
24:43 WAS OUT OF JEREMIAH,
24:45 WHERE HE'S CRYING OUT
24:47 AND HE'S SAYING:
24:57 THE SENSE WITHIN THE TEARS
24:59 THEN GOES DOWN TO THE BOTTOM
25:01 OF THE PILLARS.
25:02 THE WATER IS DRAINED
25:04 AND IS CARRIED UNDERGROUND
25:05 JUST OUTSIDE OF THE COURTYARD
25:08 THAT REPRESENTS THE TEARS
25:10 GOING OUT,
25:11 THIS WHOLE EXPRESSION.
25:12 BUT WHAT WE'VE DONE IS
25:13 WE PLANTED SIX OLIVE TREES
25:16 ON THE OUTSIDE THAT REPRESENT
25:18 THE PLACE OF REDEMPTION,
25:20 THE PLACE OF GOD
25:21 WANTING TO PAY BACK
25:24 WHAT WAS TAKEN FROM THEM.
25:27 Katharine: WE CAN'T
25:28 LET THE WORLD FORGET ABOUT
25:30 WHAT HAPPENED IN THE HOLOCAUST,
25:32 NOR SHOULD WE FORGET
25:33 WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY,
25:35 AND NOR SHOULD WE NEGLECT TO SEE
25:38 THAT AHMADINEJAD IS THREATENING
25:40 TO WIPE THE JEWS OFF THE PLANET.
25:43 THIS IS A VERY REAL THREAT
25:44 TODAY, MYLES.
25:45 Myles: YEAH, IT REALLY IS
25:46 AND WE'RE SO BLESSED TO BE ABLE
25:47 TO BRING YOU THESE PROGRAMS.
25:49 BECAUSE OF YOUR GIFTS OF FUNDS,
25:51 WE CAN BRING YOU THESE PROGRAMS
25:52 THAT REALLY TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT
25:54 WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD,
25:55 ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN ISRAEL,
25:56 THE INCREDIBLE BLESSING
25:58 THAT ISRAEL IS TO THE WORLD.
25:59 IT'S SO FRUSTRATING TO SEE
26:01 THE DISINFORMATION AND THE
26:03 DEMONIZATION THAT COMES AGAINST
26:05 THE JEWISH PEOPLE IN ISRAEL,
26:06 AND WE HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY,
26:08 BECAUSE OF YOUR HELP,
26:09 TO BRING YOU THE TRUTH; AND
26:10 WE NEED TO DO IT IN THESE DAYS,
26:12 BECAUSE AHMADINEJAD
26:13 STANDS ON THE WORLD STAGE
26:14 AND SAYS HE WANTS TO WIPE US
26:16 OFF THE MAP.
26:17 Katharine: IT'S SO IMPORTANT
26:18 THAT AS CHRISTIANS
26:19 AND AS BELIEVERS,
26:20 WE STAND ON THE BIBLE
26:22 AND WE STAND ON GOD'S WORD
26:24 AND WHAT HIS PLAN IS
26:25 FOR THESE LAST DAYS
26:26 THAT WE'RE LIVING IN.
26:27 WE'RE LIVING IN A TIME
26:28 OF SHAKING, BUT WE CAN
26:30 STAND TRUE AND STAND FIRM
26:32 UPON THE WORD OF GOD,
26:33 AND GIVE TO THOSE THINGS
26:34 THAT PROMOTE THE KINGDOM,
26:36 PROMOTE LIFE AND SPEAK LIFE
26:38 TO THE WORLD.
26:39 Myles: IT'S A TIME
26:40 OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
26:41 THERE'S WARFARE
26:42 IN THE HEAVENLIES
26:43 BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARKNESS
26:45 AND IT'S PLAYING OUT
26:46 THROUGH RELIGION AND POLITICS
26:48 ALL OVER THE WORLD.
26:49 AND I LIKE SAYING
26:50 THAT THE HEADLINES
26:51 ARE CATCHING UP TO THE BIBLE.
26:53 EVERYTHING THAT WE BRING YOU
26:54 IS BIBLICALLY SOUND.
26:55 AND WE DO THAT WITH PURPOSE,
26:57 BECAUSE WE BELIEVE
26:58 THE ONLY WAY TO UNDERSTAND
26:59 WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE WORLD IS
27:01 THROUGH THE LENS OF THE BIBLE,
27:03 THROUGH THE LENS OF SCRIPTURE.
27:05 NOW WHAT'S UPCOMING
27:06 IS THE SERIES ON ABRAHAM
27:08 THAT YOU'VE MAYBE SEEN,
27:09 THE SERIES ON ABRAHAM,
27:11 WHICH REALLY GOES BACK TO THE
27:12 BEGINNING OF OUR WALK OF FAITH.
27:13 AND UPCOMING WILL BE
27:15 "THE SONS OF PROMISE",
27:16 ISAAC AND JACOB,
27:17 AND WE'RE REALLY SHOWING
27:18 HOW GOODNESS HAS COME
27:19 THROUGH THIS LINE
27:21 TO BLESS THE WHOLE WORLD,
27:22 NOT ONLY WITH MESSIAH
27:23 BUT ALSO WITH TECHNOLOGY
27:25 AND MEDICINE AND SCIENCE
27:27 AND LITERATURE AND THE ARTS,
27:29 ALL COMING THROUGH THE SONS
27:31 OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB.
27:33 Katharine: SO THANK YOU SO MUCH
27:36 FOR YOUR GIFTS OF FUNDS
27:37 TO HELP THIS MESSAGE CONTINUE
27:40 AND THANK YOU FOR HELPING US
27:41 TO SHED THE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL
27:45 OF THE ONE NEW MAN,
27:46 JEW AND GENTILE
27:48 BEING MADE ONE IN MESSIAH.
27:50 WE LOVE YOU, WE BLESS YOU
27:51 FROM THIS HOLY LAND.
27:54 Myles: AND SO, UNTIL WE SEE YOU
27:55 AGAIN, REMEMBER,
27:56 SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM
27:58 Katharine: PRAY FOR THE PEACE
27:59 OF JERUSALEM.
