Caption transcript for The Warrior King: “Messiah” (8/8)

• 00:53 A HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
• 00:56 JEFFREY SEIF HERE AGAIN TO FINISH UP A SERIES ON DAVID.
• 01:02 I'M REMINDED OF THE BIBLICAL TESTIMONY THAT SAYS
• 01:12 ABRAHAM, DAVID, AND SO MANY OTHERS IN THE BIBLICAL TESTIMONY
• 01:16 POINTED AHEAD TO ISRAEL'S MESSIAH.
• 01:19 AND SO OFF WE GO TO CONSIDER THAT AND MORE.
• 01:25 MATTHEW ONE, THE BOOK OF THE GENERATION OF JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF DAVID, THE SON OF ABRAHAM
• 01:33 ALL OF THE GENERATIONS TO DAVID ARE 14 GENERATIONS.
• 01:40 FROM DAVID UNTIL THE CARRYING AWAY INTO BABYLON ARE 14 GENERATIONS.
• 01:46 AND FROM THE CARRYING AWAY INTO BABYLON UNTO CHRIST ARE 14 GENERATIONS.
• 02:04 RAISED IN A JEWISH FAMILY I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW SURPRISED I WAS.
• 02:08 FINALLY ONE DAY I'D OPENED UP THE QUOTE "CHRISTIAN BIBLE"
• 02:10 AND DISCOVERED THAT IT'S A VERY JEWISH STORY.
• 02:13 THE NEW TESTAMENT IN THE HEBREW IS THE "B'RIT HADASHAH"
• 02:16 THE NEW COVENANT.
• 02:18 AND WHILE IT'S NEW AT ONE LEVEL IT'S NOT BRAND NEW.
• 02:23 AND THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT IS IF YOU'LL LOOK AT THE NEW TESTAMENT
• 02:28 YOU HAVE A LOT OF CARRY OVER THERE FROM THEMES THAT RESONATED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT TEXT.
• 02:34 THE HEBREW BIBLE CLOSES WITH UN-APPEASED LONGINGS,
• 02:38 UNFULFILLED PROPHECIES, EXPECTATIONS, YET TO HAVE BEEN REALIZED.
• 02:45 AND THE OLD TESTAMENT COMES TO A CLOSE WITH A PROPHECY YET FULFILLED GIVEN TO DAVID.
• 02:52 IN 2ND SAMUEL CHAPTER 7,
• 02:54 PROMISED WAS THAT A SPECIAL LEADER WAS GOING TO COME FROM DAVIDIC LINEAGE.
• 03:00 AND NOT LONG AFTER THAT WE JUST SEE A LONG CRUMBLE AND TUMBLE
• 03:06 AS ISRAELITE CULTURE FALLS APART, IT'S RACKED BY POLITICAL INTRIGUE, UNREST; SIN.
• 03:14 LIKE A BOA CONSTRICTOR WRAPS ITSELF AROUND THE COMMONWEALTH AND SQUEEZES THE LIFE OUT OF IT.
• 03:21 THE NEW TESTAMENT OPENS UP IN THE MATTHEAN GOSPEL, THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW, IN HEBREW...
• 03:26 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 03:38 I'M COMING TO YOU FROM ISRAEL RIGHT NOW
• 03:40 AND IN THIS COUNTRY TODAY THERE ARE PEOPLE
• 03:43 THAT WOULD MAKE ME FEEL GUILTY IF THEY HAD THEIR WAY.
• 03:46 OH, YOU'RE A JEW, YOU CAN'T BELIEVE IN JESUS.
• 03:49 AND I COULD GO TO ROME I'D IMAGINE OR OTHER PLACES
• 03:52 AND THERE WOULD BE CHRISTIAN PEOPLE WHO'D SAY, "OH, YOU CAN'T BE JEWISH."
• 03:57 AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE THERE'S A CHASM THAT'S ALLEGED.
• 04:00 THERE'S THE JEWISH WORLD OVER HERE AND THERE'S THE JESUS WORLD OVER THERE
• 04:04 AND THEY JUST DON'T BELONG TOGETHER.
• 04:08 WELL HEAR ME PLEASE, IF THAT'S TRUE THEN MATTHEW NEVER GOT THE MEMO,
• 04:13 BECAUSE WHEN I READ MY BIBLE THE FIRST BREATH OF THE STORY
• 04:22 CONNECTS JESUS TO THE JEW THROUGH THE OLD TESTAMENT'S MOST FAMOUS JEW ARGUABLY,
• 04:29 AT LEAST ONE OF THEM...DAVID.
• 04:31 SO MANY CHAPTERS WRITTEN BOUT HIM AND BY HIM.
• 04:34 HE'S RIGHT UP THERE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST.
• 04:36 I GREW UP SINGING HIS PRAISES,
• 04:38 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 04:44 AND THERE ARE SONGS TODAY IN HEBREW,
• 04:46 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 04:51 ALL THIS HARKS BACK TO DAVID.
• 04:54 DAVID, WHO CAPTURED THE IMAGINATION OF A PEOPLE;
• 04:57 LOVED GOD, SOUGHT GOD, A KINGDOM BUILDER,
• 05:01 CARVED OUT SPACE ON PLANET EARTH WHERE GOD'S WILL AND WAYS RESONATED...DAVID.
• 05:09 AND WE LOOK IN THE NEW TESTAMENT;
• 05:11 WE LEARN THAT HIS OFFSPRING, HIS MOST FAMOUS OFFSPRING
• 05:15 MAKES HIS ENTRANCE ONTO THE STAGE OF THE HUMAN DRAMA.
• 05:18 BUT LIKE DAVID HIMSELF HE CAME IN A TROUBLED WORLD.
• 05:22 AND WHY DO I SAY THAT? WELL, JOSEPH, HIS STEP-DAD, WAS RATHER TROUBLED.
• 05:27 WE READ IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 1 THAT HE LEARNS THAT HIS GIRLFRIEND, HIS FIANCE, MARIAM,
• 05:35 HAS COME UP PREGNANT AND HE KNEW HE WASN'T THE GUY.
• 05:39 AND HE'S MINDED TO DIVORCE HER, BUT WANTING TO DO IT QUIETLY,
• 05:43 BUT WHAT HAPPENS IS, HE'S VISITED BY AN ANGEL.
• 05:47 THE WORLD "ANGEL" IN HEBREW "MALAK" COMES FROM A UGARITIC VERB, WHICH MEANS "TO SEND".
• 05:53 GOD DISPATCHES A MESSENGER TO JOSEPH AND WHAT DOES HE TELL HIM?
• 05:57 AND I QUOTE IN VERSE 20, HE SAYS,
• 06:03 (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 06:15 AND HE DID JUST THAT AND THE REST IS HISTORY.
• 06:19 WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT DAVID IN THIS SERIES,
• 06:21 BUT NOW AS WE WRAP UP ON DAVID; WE WANNA LOOK AT DAVID'S MOST FAMOUS SON.
• 06:27 WE WANNA CONSIDER YESHUA JESUS OF DAVIDIC EXTRACT
• 06:32 WHO PERSONIFIES ALL THAT WAS GOOD ABOUT DAVID AND MORE.
• 06:37 IN AS MUCH AS DAVID BROUGHT ABOUT DELIVERANCE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,
• 06:41 SO TOO WE LEARN ABOUT ONE PRESAGED IN THE SYNAGOGUE'S LITERATURE
• 06:46 WHO WOULD BRING ABOUT PEACE ON EARTH AND GOOD WILL TOWARD MAN.
• 06:49 AND OFF TO THE SYNAGOGUE I GO
• 06:52 AND IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT THE SYNAGOGUE PREDICTED MANY YEARS BEFORE HE CAME;
• 06:55 THE MESSIAH WOULD COME AND BE DESCENDED FROM DAVID.
• 07:07 AND IN THE SIXTH MONTH THE ANGEL GABRIEL WAS SENT FROM GOD ONTO A CITY OF GALILEE NAMED NAZARETH
• 07:16 TO A VIRGIN ESPOUSED TO A MAN WHO'S NAME WAS JOSEPH OF THE HOUSE OF DAVID.
• 07:22 AND THE VIRGIN'S NAME WAS MARY.
• 07:27 AND THE ANGEL CAME IN UNTO HER AND SAID, "HAIL THOU THAT ART HIGHLY FAVORED.
• 07:33 "THE LORD IS WITH THEE. "BLESSED ART THOU AMONG WOMEN."
• 07:37 "FEAR NOT MARY FOR THOU HAST FOUND FAVOR WITH GOD AND BEHOLD THOU SHALT CONCEIVE IN THY WOMB"
• 07:45 "AND BRING FORTH A SON AND SHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS."
• 07:49 "HE SHALL BE GREAT AND SHALL BE CALLED 'THE SON OF THE HIGHEST'"
• 07:54 "AND THE LORD GOD SHALL GIVE UNTO HIM THE THRONE OF HIS FATHER DAVID"
• 07:59 "AND HE SHALL REIGN OVER THE HOUSE OF JACOB FOREVER."
• 08:02 "AND OF HIS KINGDOM, THERE SHALL BE NO END."
• 08:09 IN LUKE CHAPTER 2, VERSE 32,
• 08:12 JESUS IS DESCRIBED AS...
• 08:19 AND THEN HE'S NOTED AS BEING QUOTE
• 08:26 PERSONALLY I BELIEVE WE LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE PEOPLE HAVE COME TO TERMS WITH THE FACT
• 08:31 THAT HE'S THE QUOTE "LIGHT TO BRING REVELATION TO THE GENTILES"
• 08:37 ALTHOUGH I'M NOT ALL TOGETHER SURE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
• 08:40 BUT I DO BELIEVE WE LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE FALLING OF THE CLIFF
• 08:43 IS THE NOTION THAT THIS JESUS IS THE GLORY OF THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL.
• 08:49 AS FOR THE 1ST POINT, HIM BEING A LIGHT TO BRING REVELATION TO THE GENTILES,
• 08:55 I'M NOT ALL TOGETHER SURE THAT EVERYONE HAS COME TO TERMS WITH THE FACT THAT JESUS CAN GIVE REVELATION TO INDIVIDUALS.
• 09:04 PEOPLE NEED TO BE BORN ANEW, RECEIVE HIM IN THEIR HEARTS,
• 09:08 AND THEN THERE'S AN INNER LIGHT, IF YOU WILL,
• 09:11 AND PEOPLE WHEN THEY FACE VEXING CIRCUMSTANCES CAN HEAR A VOICE WITHIN THEM SAYING
• 09:16 "THIS IS THE WAY, WALK IN IT".
• 09:18 AND AS PEOPLE CULTIVATE THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
• 09:20 THEY CAN THEN HAVE REVELATION TO GIVE THEM ANSWERS FOR THE VEXING TROUBLES OF THE DAY.
• 09:26 SOME PEOPLE HAVE A SUPERFICIAL KIND OF WORSHIP OF JESUS
• 09:29 WITHOUT COMING TO TERMS WITH THE NATURE OF WHAT IT IS TO BE BORN AGAIN
• 09:34 AND HAVE THE SPIRIT WITHIN AND THUS TO HAVE REVELATION TO LEAD US ON INTO TRIUMPH.
• 09:39 ISSUES WITH THAT ASIDE I DO KNOW THAT FALLING OFF THE CLIFF AS I'D SAID
• 09:41 IS THE SENSE THAT JESUS IS IN FACT THE GLORY OF THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL
• 09:50 AND THIS IS TRAGIC I BELIEVE.
• 09:53 IN LUKE CHAPTER 1, VERSE 26, LUKE CONSIDERS JESUS' ORIGIN.
• 09:59 THERE'S A STORY HERE OF AN ANGEL GABRIEL WHO VISITS A JEWESS NAMED MARIAM.
• 10:07 MARIAM COMES FROM THE HEBREW "MAR" WHICH MEANS "BITTERNESS OR SORROW",
• 10:11 AND "YAM" WHICH MEANS "SEA"...SEA OF SORROWS.
• 10:15 WELL, IT MIGHT BE AN APPROPRIATE NAME;
• 10:17 SHE WAS CARRYING THE WORLD ON HER SHOULDERS WHEN SHE LEARNED THAT SHE "OOPS" CAME UP PREGNANT
• 10:21 THROUGH THE AGENCY OF THE RUACH HAKODESH COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED.
• 10:25 HERE'S A YOUNG GIRL AND THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED UPON HER AND SHE'S PERPLEXED
• 10:30 AND SHE CARRIES IT IN HER HEART TRYING TO SORT OUT WHAT IT ALL MEANS.
• 10:34 WELL WE'RE TOLD HERE THAT HER HUSBAND WAS TRYING TO SORT IT OUT AS WELL
• 10:38 AND AS WE SAW IN THE PREVIOUS SEGMENT HE GETS A VISITATION.
• 10:41 HERE THIS MESSENGER VISITS MARIAM PERSONALLY
• 10:48 AND TELLS HER WHAT SHE MAY WELL SENSE IN VERSE 31,
• 10:57 AND THEN WE'RE TOLD IN VERSE 32 AND 33,
• 11:09 SEE YESHUA IS AN EXTENSION OF DAVID
• 11:19 IF I READ THE BIBLE CORRECTLY
• 11:21 MARIAM IS INFORMED THAT THE MASHIACH, THE MESSIAH FOR THE WORLD
• 11:27 IS GOING TO COME THROUGH HER
• 11:29 IN AS MUCH AS DAVID WAS PROMISED IN 2ND SAMUEL CHAPTER 7,
• 11:35 YOU CAN LOOK IT UP, VERSES 12 & 13,
• 11:45 HERE YOU LOOK INTO THE NEW TESTAMENT STORY,
• 11:47 THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE OR WHAT'S CONSTRUED AS THE NON JEWISH BIBLE
• 11:51 TO HEAR ABOUT THE COMING OF THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.
• 11:53 THE WAY THIS STORY UNFOLDS IN ITS OWN CONTEXT IS THAT, YES THIS IS THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD,
• 12:01 BUT THIS PERSON IS THE GLORY OF THE JEWISH WORLD.
• 12:06 TODAY IN ISRAEL IF A RABBI CAME FORTH AND HAD 1/1000TH OF THE INFLUENCE THAT JESUS HAD...
• 12:15 IF YOU LOOK AT THE JESUS STORY THE GENIUS HERE IS WE'RE TAKING THE JEWISH BIBLE
• 12:19 AND WE'RE GETTING INTO THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF BILLIONS ON PLANET EARTH.
• 12:25 AND THIS IS FACILITATED THROUGH A JESUS EXPERIENCE
• 12:28 AND JESUS IS THE PRINCIPAL INTERPRETER AS INDIVIDUALS LOOK AT THE NEW TESTAMENT
• 12:33 AND GET SOME SENSE ON HOW TO INTERPRET THE OLD TESTAMENT BY VIRTUE OF THEIR SO DOING.
• 12:37 IF THERE WAS ANY JEWISH RABBI IN THE WORLD TODAY THAT EXACTED THIS KIND OF INFLUENCE
• 12:41 HE WOULD BE HERALDED AS THE BEST THING SINCE THE INVENTION OF WHEAT BREAD.
• 12:46 THE BEST JEWISH SCHOLAR SINCE MOSES, JESUS, WAS THE GREATEST JEW THAT EVER LIVED
• 12:52 AND HE CAME WITH A PROPHECY ATTACHED TO HIM
• 12:54 AND THAT IS THAT HE WOULD BRING REVELATION TO THE GENTILES
• 12:59 AND BE THE GLORY OF THE PEOPLE ISRAEL.
• 13:02 NOW LISTEN, I BELIEVE TODAY THAT WE NEED DAVID-LIKE LEADERSHIP FOR GOLIATH-LIKE TIMES.
• 13:09 INDIVIDUALS NEED THE SON OF DAVID IN THEIR HEARTS BECAUSE HE CAN BRING REVELATION.
• 13:15 THAT IS TO SAY THAT IF YOU'RE VEXED WITH CHALLENGES
• 13:18 HE CAN GIVE YOU INSIGHTS AND GIVE YOU A WORD
• 13:21 SO YOU'LL KNOW HOW TO WALK THROUGH IT ONWARD TO A GLORIOUS AND SUCCESSFUL FUTURE.

• 15:13 IF YOU WANNA USE IT FOR GROUP STUDY IN A SUNDAY SCHOOL OR A HOME GROUP
• 15:17 THESE GO TOGETHER QUITE NICELY.
• 15:19 WE'RE ALL ABOUT BRINGING GOOD BIBLICAL INFORMATION TO BEAR.
• 15:24 ONE UPON A TIME IN A LAND FAR AWAY
• 15:27 JESUS MADE HIS ENTRANCE ONTO THE STAGE OF THE HUMAN DRAMA AND INDIVIDUALS CAME TO WORSHIP HIM.
• 15:33 WHEN THE WISE MEN CAME TO SEE THE LORD
• 15:36 HE WASN'T A LITTLE BABY WRAPPED IN SWADDLING CLOTHS AT THAT JUNCTURE, HE'D GROWN UP SOME.
• 15:40 OFF WE GO TO THAT STORY AS WE CONSIDER THOSE WHO VISITED JESUS.
• 15:45 AND I HOPE THE LORD WILL VISIT YOU IN THE PROCESS OF YOUR CONSIDERING HIS STORY.
• 15:52 AND WHEN THE WISE MEN WERE COMING INTO THE HOUSE
• 15:55 THEY SAW THE YOUNG CHILD AND MARY HIS MOTHER
• 15:59 AND THEY FELL DOWN AND WORSHIPPED HIM.
• 16:03 AND WHEN THEY OPENED THEIR TREASURES THEY PRESENTED UNTO HIM GIFTS;
• 16:07 GOLD AND FRANKINCENSE AND MYRRH.
• 16:17 THE WORD "WORSHIP" COMES FROM THE EXPRESSION "A SHIP OF WORTH"
• 16:22 AND IT MEANS TO ASCRIBE VALUE TO SOMETHING.
• 16:26 YOU MIGHT BE FAMILIAR WITH THE STORY WHEN THESE INDIVIDUALS COME;
• 16:29 THESE MEN FROM THE EAST COME.
• 16:31 AND WHAT DOES THAT DO?
• 16:32 THEY GIVE GOLD, FRANKINCENSE, AND MYRRH
• 16:36 AND THEY LAID IT DOWN AT THE FEET OF A YOUNG KING NAMED YESHUA, JESUS.
• 16:43 THE REASON WHY I MENTION THAT AT THIS JUNCTURE
• 16:46 IS BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A WORLD TODAY WHEN INDIVIDUALS SIMILARLY COME AND GIVES GIFTS
• 16:52 AND THEY LAY IT DOWN AT THE FEET OF THIS DAVIDIC KING WHO WE REFER TO AS "JESUS"
• 16:59 OR IN THE HEBREW "YESHUA", THE SON OF DAVID, BEN DAVID.
• 17:05 HE'S INTRODUCED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT AS THE SON OF DAVID
• 17:08 AND WE'VE INTRODUCED YOU TO DAVID
• 17:11 OR REINTRODUCED YOU OR RE-ACQUAINTED YOU WITH DAVID IN THE HEBREW BIBLE.
• 17:16 AND WHAT DID WE LEARN?
• 17:18 WE LEARNED OF A STORY OF A YOUNG FELLOW WHO CAME OUT OF OBSCURITY.
• 17:22 LITTLE KNOWN, DISRESPECTED, HIS OWN FATHER DIDN'T BELIEVE IN HIM
• 17:26 AND HIS BROTHERS DISRESPECTED HIM.
• 17:29 BUT DIFFICULTIES ASIDE HE JUMPED INTO THE FRAY,
• 17:32 HE CARED ABOUT GOD, HE CARED ABOUT TAKING UP ISRAEL'S BURDENS,
• 17:37 HE HATED INJUSTICE, HE WENT AFTER IT WITH VERVE AND VITALITY,
• 17:42 AND AT THE END OF THE DAY THE LORD USED HIM TO CARVE OUT A KINGDOM.
• 17:46 IN THIS SERIES WE'VE BEEN CONCERNED WITH DAVID.
• 17:50 WE REFERRED TO HIM AS "THE WARRIOR KING"
• 17:53 AND OVER AND AGAIN YOU'VE HEARD ME TALK ABOUT THE NEED
• 17:56 FOR DAVID-LIKE LEADERSHIP IN THESE GOLIATH-LIKE TIMES.
• 18:01 THAT MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS.
• 18:04 FOR SURE I BELIEVE WE DO WELL IF IN GOVERNMENT
• 18:08 WE'RE LEAD BY INDIVIDUALS WITH JUDEO-CHRISTIAN ETHICS.
• 18:14 I LOVE THOSE VALUES AND VIRTUES
• 18:16 AND WOULD THAT INDIVIDUALS WERE MEN AND WOMEN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART.
• 18:21 I BELIEVE THAT'S A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
• 18:24 BECAUSE THE EXTENT TO WHICH INDIVIDUALS ARE YIELDED TO GOD'S KINGDOM,
• 18:28 IT AFFORDS AN OPPORTUNITY THEN FOR THOSE BIBLICAL VIRTUES TO INFORM DECISION MAKERS.
• 18:33 AND I JUST THINK THE WORLD'S A BETTER PLACE
• 18:36 WHEN THESE DECISION MAKERS HAVE A PLACE IN THEIR HEARTS FOR BIBLICAL VALUES.
• 18:42 DAVID-LIKE LEADERSHIP IN GOLIATH-LIKE TIMES CAN REFER TO THE SMALLER CULTURE WITHIN THE CULTURE.
• 18:48 THERE'S THE BROADER WORLD CULTURE AND THEN THERE'S INDIVIDUAL FAMILY CULTURE.
• 18:53 I BELIEVE THAT FAMILIES NEED DAVID-LIKE LEADERSHIP IN GOLIATH-LIKE TIMES.
• 18:59 WOULD THAT FAMILIES LEARN TO LIVE BY BIBLICAL VIRTUE AND VISION,
• 19:04 WOULD THAT FAMILIES LEARN ABOUT FORGIVENESS,
• 19:07 WOULD THAT FAMILIES LEARN THE LESSONS THAT WE FIND IN THE LIFE OF DAVID...
• 19:11 WE COULD BE SPARED MANY PAINS.
• 19:13 I BELIEVE THAT FAMILIES ARE THE BETTER WHEN WE TAKE INTO ACCOUNT
• 19:17 WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM DAVID'S PRINCIPLES
• 19:21 AS WELL AS WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM HIS EXAMPLE BOTH GOOD AND BAD.
• 19:25 AND THEN THERE'S INDIVIDUALS...
• 19:27 I BELIEVE THAT INDIVIDUALS NEED DAVID-LIKE LEADERSHIP FOR GOLIATH-LIKE TIMES.
• 19:33 AND THE WAY THAT HAPPENS IS BY INDIVIDUALS INVITING THE SON OF DAVID INTO THEIR WORLDS.
• 19:41 I BELIEVE THAT WHEN WE ASK JESUS INTO OUR HEARTS
• 19:43 WE'RE ASKING THE SON OF DAVID TO COME INTO OUR HEARTS.
• 19:46 AND WHEN WE BOW THE KNEE TO HIM WE'RE BOWING OUR KNEE TO THE REIGN OF THE SON OF DAVID.
• 19:52 I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED THAT, I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED HIM,
• 19:55 I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED GOD,
• 19:57 AND I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S AN OFFER ON THE TABLE.
• 20:01 IN THIS SERIES YOU'VE HEARD ME TALK ABOUT DAVID
• 20:04 AND AS I BRING IT TO A CLOSE I WANNA TALK TO YOU ABOUT YOU.
• 20:08 I HOPE YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THE SERIES.
• 20:10 MAYBE THIS IS THE ONLY PROGRAM YOU'VE PICKED UP ON
• 20:13 AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW IF THAT'S THE CASE,
• 20:15 WHETHER YOU'VE SEEN ALL OF IT OR JUST THIS ONE,
• 20:18 I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THERE'S AN OFFER ON THE TABLE.
• 20:20 THE HEBREW BIBLE IS OPENED UP FOR ALL TO SEE AND EXPERIENCE NOW BECAUSE OF A JEW NAMED JESUS,
• 20:26 WHOM I CONSTRUE THE GREATEST JEWISH MAN WHOEVER LIVED AND HE WAS MORE THAN A MAN.
• 20:32 AND WHAT HE'S DONE IS THROUGH THE AGENCY OF HIS LIFE AND DEATH AND MINISTRY
• 20:37 AND HIS RESURRECTION IS AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL PEOPLE TO OPEN UP THE BIBLE AND LEARN ABOUT THE GOD OF ISRAEL.
• 20:45 THAT GOD LOVES YOU, HE HAS A WONDERFUL PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE IF INDIVIDUALS WOULD BUT RECEIVE HIM,
• 20:51 IF INDIVIDUALS WOULD BUT EMBRACE THE PRINCIPLES FOUND IN HIS BOOK THEN THEY WOULD BE STRONG.
• 20:58 OVER AND AGAIN WE FIND IN THE BIBLICAL TEXT ABOUT HOW GOD RAISES UP INDIVIDUALS,
• 21:02 WHETHER IT'S DAVID, WHETHER IT'S ABRAHAM, WHETHER IT'S YOU.
• 21:07 IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THOSE GUYS, IT'S ABOUT YOU.
• 21:10 THE SAME LORD IS LORD OF ALL AND HE BESTOWS HIS RICHES UPON ALL WHO CALL UPON HIM.
• 21:20 (Jeff speaking) AND NOW A FITTING MUSICAL CONCLUSION TO OUR SERIES

• 23:46 THIS ENTIRE SERIES HAS BEEN CONCERNED WITH DAVID-LIKE LEADERSHIP FOR GOLIATH-LIKE TIMES
• 23:53 AND HEY WHY NOT HEAR FROM A DAVID-LIKE LEADER?
• 23:58 IN THE NEXT SEGMENT THE LATE ZOLA LEVITT INTERVIEWED GENERAL AVI MIZRACHI OF THE ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES.
• 24:07 IN THE COMMANDED POSITIONS,
• 24:09 ALSO IN THE AMERICAN ARMY,
• 24:11 YOU'LL FIND THE OFFICERS
• 24:14 IN TOP OF THE TROOPS ON THE FRONT LINES.
• 24:18 THERE YOU CAN SAY THAT IN ISRAEL SINCE 1948
• 24:23 OUR OFFICERS WILL BE ALL THE TIME IN FRONT OF THE TROOPS.
• 24:29 (Zola speaking) YES, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE HEBREW WORD "AKARI" AM I RIGHT?
• 24:32 IT WAS "AKARI" >>"FOLLOW ME"
• 24:35 YEAH >>THE OFFICER DOESN'T SAY
• 24:38 "ATTACK, I'LL MEET YOU AT LUNCH",
• 24:40 HE SAYS..."FOLLOW"... >>"FOLLOW ME"
• 24:43 AND IF YOU SEARCH THE ISRAELI WARS AND CONFLICTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST
• 24:48 YOU'LL FIND THAT A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF CASUALTIES WERE OFFICERS.
• 24:56 THE TERROR IS DANGEROUS FOR THE ENTIRE WAR.
• 25:00 AND IN OUR WAY, IN OUR WORDS "TERROR OUT". >>YES
• 25:07 THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO
• 25:10 AND WE ARE FACING IT EVERYDAY IN ISRAEL.
• 25:14 ISRAEL FACES TERROR AND IN VARIOUS WAYS ON VARIOUS DAYS
• 25:19 THOSE OF US OUTSIDE OF ISRAEL CAN FACE THINGS THAT ARE TERRIFYING.
• 25:25 THAT'S THE BAD NEWS.
• 25:27 THE GOOD NEWS, HOWEVER, IS THAT GOD CAN HELP US GET THE BETTER OF LIFE'S CHALLENGES.
• 25:32 I HOPE THAT THIS SERIES ON THE WARRIOR KING HAS INSPIRED A VICTORIOUS FAITH WITHIN YOU.
• 25:39 THAT WAS THE PURPOSE AS WE CONSIDERED DAVID.
• 25:42 HE CAME, AS YOU MIGHT RECALL, FROM SOME VERY INGLORIOUS BEGINNINGS.
• 25:47 HARDLY LIKELY TO SUCCEED, BUT SUCCEED HE DID.
• 25:50 AND WHY IS THAT?
• 25:52 BECAUSE GOD HAD A CALL ON HIS LIFE.
• 25:54 WE NOTE HOW HE WAS NOTED,
• 25:57 HOW HE WAS ANOINTED,
• 25:59 HOW HE EXPERIENCED A VARIETY OF ABYSMAL CIRCUMSTANCES ON THE WAY TO THE TOP.
• 26:04 IF WE FOLLOW GOD, HELL CAN HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT AGAINST US AND IT CAME TO DAVID IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
• 26:10 FINALLY, HOWEVER, HE CAME INTO HIS OWN AS THE RULER OVER ISRAEL.
• 26:16 HE DIDN'T ALWAYS RULE HIMSELF WELL, HOWEVER,
• 26:19 AND SO WE NOTE HOW THE MAN WAS BESTED BY THE DARKER SIDE OF HIS OWN NATURE, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
• 26:24 GOD'S GRACE STILL PREVAILED IN HIS LIFE.
• 26:28 AND DAVID IS A STORY OF GOD'S GRACE.
• 26:30 IN FACT, JESUS WAS KNOWN AS THE SON OF DAVID.
• 26:34 THE BIBLE PREDICTED THAT THE MESSIAH WOULD COME FROM HIM AND WE TOLD THAT STORY AND MORE.
• 26:39 THANK YOU FOR GOING WITH US ON THE JOURNEY.
• 26:41 AS YOU GO NOW,
• 26:42 SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM
• 26:45 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
