Caption transcript for “United for Jerusalem”

00:16 BRETHREN, MY HEART'S DESIRE AND PRAYER TO GOD FOR ISRAEL IS THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED,
00:24 FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK
00:27 FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM.
00:39 WITH DR. JEFFREY SEIF
00:44 HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
00:45 JEFFREY SEIF HERE
00:47 AND I AM PLEASED TO WELCOME YOU AGAIN
00:49 TO ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
00:52 WE HAVE SOME REALLY INTERESTING STUFF TO PRESENT I MIGHT ADD.
00:57 A LOT OF TIMES I'LL CLIMB AROUND THE PAGES OF BIBLICAL LITERATURE
01:01 CLIMB AROUND ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES IN ISRAEL,
01:04 BUT HERE WE'RE CLIMBING AROUND THE NEWS.
01:07 THE LORD GRACED US WITH FASCINATING INTERVIEWS.
01:11 DANNY AYALON IS THE FORMER ISRAELI AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED NATIONS
01:18 AND NOW THE DEPUTY FOREIGN MINISTER.
01:22 THOSE OF YOU CURIOUS HOW MODERN ISRAEL LOOKS AT THE WORLD
01:26 AND LOOKS AT THE WAY THE WORLD LOOKS AT ISRAEL...
01:29 WELL FOR THOSE OF YOU INTERESTED IN THAT
01:31 HAVE A LOOK AT THIS
01:33 AS WE HEAR FROM THIS FORMER AMBASSADOR
01:36 THIS DEPUTY FOREIGN MINISTER OF THE NATION STATE OF ISRAEL.
01:50 PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU SIR.
01:51 CAN YOU GIVE US SOME PERSPECTIVE
01:53 ON WHERE ISRAEL STANDS IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REST OF THIS WORLD?
01:57 WELL ISRAEL IS PART OF SIMILAR CIVILIZATIONS.
02:00 CIVILIZATIONS STARTED WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE ACTUALLY
02:03 SO WE ARE PART OF THE CIVILIZED INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
02:07 AND YOU CAN SEE IT WHEN IT COMES TO A DECISION AGAINST IRAN,
02:14 ISRAEL FOLLOWS THE LEAD OF THE UNITED STATES
02:17 AND THE OTHER POWERS INTERNATIONALLY
02:19 AND YOU SEE IT ON THE WAR OF TERRORISM.
02:23 AND THE FACT THAT WE HAVE BEEN ATTACKED
02:26 AND WE ARE STILL UNDER ATTACK
02:28 FROM ALL THESE EXTREME ISLAMIST TERROR ORGANIZATIONS
02:31 WHETHER IT'S FROM LEBANON LIKE THE HEZBOLLAH
02:34 OR HAMAS FROM GAZA
02:36 IS BECAUSE TO THEM WE ARE PART OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
02:43 OF WESTERN CIVILIZATIONS WHICH THEY ABHOR
02:46 AND UNFORTUNATELY FOR THIS PEOPLE
02:49 THE AYATOLLAHS IN TEHRAN AND THEIR PROXIES
02:51 WHERE THERE IS THE HEZBOLLAH IN LEBANON
02:53 OR IN HAMAS, ISLAM AND JIHAD
02:55 AND IN MANY PALESTINIAN TERROR ORGANIZATIONS...
02:58 FOR THEM IT'S A ZERO SUM GAME.
03:03 THERE IS NO CO-EXISTENCE,
03:05 THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE,
03:06 THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN TOLERANCE
03:08 AND THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE UP AGAINST HERE.
03:10 AND HERE IN ISRAEL OF COURSE WE APPRECIATE VERY MUCH
03:13 THE LEADERSHIP OF THE UNITED STATES,
03:16 THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHICH ARE IN MY MIND
03:19 THE MOST DECENT, THE MOST COURAGEOUS IN THE WORLD.
03:23 THEY ARE THE ONES WHO COULD STAND AND ACTUALLY DID STAND
03:28 AGAINST WORLD INJUSTICE
03:31 WHETHER IT WAS NAZISM
03:32 OR WHETHER IT WAS IN COMMUNISM
03:34 AND NOW TERRORISM.
03:37 AND WE ARE PROUD TO BE THE UNITED STATES BEST FRIEND
03:41 AND ALLY HERE IN THIS REGION AND I BELIEVE BEYOND.
03:44 I'M PUZZLED WHY...
03:46 IT DEFIES REASON THAT PEOPLE JUST WANT TO BE HELL BENT
03:49 ON CASTIGATING JEWS AND ISRAEL...
03:52 BECAUSE THERE'S SUCH A STRONG...
03:54 I MEAN THERE'S ANOTHER SIDE TO THE STORY.
03:57 WHY DOESN'T THE WORLD WANT TO HEAR IT?
03:59 OR WHY DON'T PEOPLE WANT TO TELL IT?
04:01 DO YOU HAVE ANY SENSE OF THAT?
04:02 IT CONFUSES ME.
04:05 WELL FIRST OF ALL I WOULD SAY
04:07 IT IS BECAUSE THESE AUTOMATIC MAJORITIES
04:10 THAT THE ARABS AND ISLAMIC COUNTRIES AND NON-DEMOCRATIC COUNTRIES HAVE...
04:15 LOOK THERE ARE 22 ARAB COUNTRIES WHICH ARE VOTING AS ONE BLOCK.
04:21 THESE 22 ARAB COUNTRIES, THE ARAB LEAGUE COUNTRIES
04:24 ARE A PART OF A LARGER GROUP CALLED THE OIC,
04:29 ORGANIZATION OF ISLAMIC STATES,
04:31 WHICH HAS 57...
04:32 SO ALREADY YOU HAVE 57 VOTES AGAINST ISRAEL
04:36 OR AGAINST THE UNITED STATES
04:38 OR EUROPE FOR THAT MATTER.
04:39 THIS 57 ARE YET PART OF THE LARGER GROUP
04:43 THAT USED TO BE CALLED "THE GROUP OF 77"
04:46 OR "THE NON-ALIGNED".
04:47 NOW THERE ARE 118 COUNTRIES IN THIS GROUP.
04:50 SO ALREADY YOU HAVE AN AUTOMATIC MAJORITY...
04:53 118 COUNTRIES OUT OF TOTAL OF 192 MEMBER STATES IN THE UNITED NATIONS.
05:00 YOU HAVE ALREADY AN AUTOMATIC MAJORITY
05:02 AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT IF THEY DECIDED TODAY
05:05 TO PASS A RESOLUTION THAT THE EARTH IS FLAT
05:08 THEY WILL SUCCEED.
05:10 NOW WHY DO THEY SUCCEED?
05:12 BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE VOTES
05:13 BUT ALSO THERE IS NO REAL...
05:18 I WOULD SAY... CONSCIENCE...
05:23 WORLD CONSCIENCE...
05:24 A BEACON THAT WOULD BE OF DECENCY AND HOPE ASIDE FROM THE UNITED STATES
05:29 THAT WOULD CALL THEIR BLUFF AND WOULD CASTIGATE THEM
05:33 AND THIS IS BECAUSE MAYBE THERE ARE SOME SPLITS AMONG WESTERN DEMOCRACIES...
05:39 MAYBE ITS BECAUSE OF CONVENIENCE...
05:41 MAYBE BECAUSE OF LAZINESS...
05:43 MAYBE SOME BECAUSE OF VERY NARROW INTERESTS, SHORT TERM INTERESTS...
05:49 THEY DO NOT WANT TO UPSET THE ARABS...
05:52 THEY ARE DEPENDENT ON OIL SUPPLY...THINGS LIKE THAT.
05:57 BUT IN THE LONG RUN IT IS VERY, VERY...
06:04 VERY, VERY URGENT
06:06 AND VERY, VERY IMPORTANT THAT COUNTRIES, LIKE MINDED COUNTRIES...DECENT PEOPLE
06:13 WOULD PULL TOGETHER...
06:15 OTHER WISE DIVIDED WE FALL...UNITED WE CAN NOT ONLY SURVIVE BUT THRIVE.
06:24 (Jeff speaking) BEING LIKE MINDED IN JERUSALEM DOESN'T COME ALL THAT EASY.
06:28 CASE IN POINT...THIS ABANDONED HOTEL IN EAST JERUSALEM.
06:33 IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING OF A GHOST TOWN
06:36 AND IN SO MANY WAYS IT IS.
06:39 YOU CAN TELL THAT PEOPLE ARE KEPT OUT
06:42 BY THE FENCE THAT KEEPS PEOPLE OUT.
06:45 BUT THE FENCE AND THE RUN DOWN NATURE OF THIS STRUCTURE
06:49 DOESN'T KEEP THIS FROM BEING AT THE HUB OF TENSION AND ACTIVITY EVEN RIGHT UP TO TODAY...
06:58 ACTIVITY THAT SWEEPS ACROSS THE POND TO THE AMERICAS...
07:02 AND ACTIVITY THAT SWEEPS BACK HERE TO JERUSALEM.
07:08 AND THIS BEHIND ME IS THE ONCE GREAT "SHEPHERD'S HOTEL"
07:13 THAT RIGHT NOW IS ABUZZ WITH POLITICAL INTRIGUE
07:18 AS PEOPLE WRESTLE WITH THE QUESTION,
07:20 "DO THE JEWS HAVE A RIGHT TO A RESIDENCE HERE?"
07:25 I WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT "HERE" IN A MOMENT
07:27 BUT LET'S OPEN UP THE EAR FIRST...
07:29 ZCHARYA IN THE HEBREW...
07:31 ZECHARIAH IN THE ENGLISH.
07:33 ZCHARYA COMES FROM "ZICHAR" WHICH MEANS "TO REMEMBER".
07:38 AND WHAT DO WE REMEMBER IN ZECHARIAH CHAPTER 12?
07:42 THE SCRIPTURE SAYS,
07:43 "BEHOLD I WILL MAKE JERUSALEM A CUP OF DRUNKENNESS"
07:47 "TO ALL THE SURROUNDING PEOPLES THAT LAY SIEGE AGAINST JUDAH AND JERUSALEM."
07:53 AND THEN IN VERSE 3 HE SAYS,
07:55 "THAT ALL THOSE WHO LOOK TO HEAVE IT AWAY WILL SURELY HURT THEMSELVES."
08:01 AND IS IT NOT THE TRUTH TODAY THAT JERUSALEM IS ABUZZ WITH TENSION?
08:07 IT'S THE CAPITAL OF THE JEWISH STATE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE OF THE JEWISH RELIGION.
08:14 IT'S THE PLACE TO WHICH THE SCRIPTURE SAYS JESUS WILL RETURN
08:19 AS A CAPITAL OF AN ANCESTRAL JEWISH HOMELAND.
08:22 JERUSALEM IS A PLACE OF TENSION.
08:25 HERE BEHIND ME...THE SHEPHERD'S HOTEL WAS ONCE OWNED BY THE GRAND MUFTI.
08:32 NOT A VERY FRIENDLY GUY...A NAZI COLLABORATOR...
08:35 THIS HOTEL WAS ACQUIRED BY A JEWISH FELLOW,
08:39 AN AMERICAN NAMED MOSKOWITZ
08:41 WHO WANTS TO THEN TURN THIS JERUSALEM LOCALE INTO A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
08:48 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT GRINDS TO A HALT
08:50 AS POLITICAL PRESSURES BROUGHT TO BEAR TO TELL JEWS
08:54 "OH NO...NO...YOU CAN'T BUILD THERE IN JERUSALEM!"
09:00 IT'S INCREDIBLE...
09:02 THE WORLD TODAY SEEMS TO HAVE A DECK OF CARDS THAT ARE STACKED AGAINST THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
09:09 SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW?
09:11 NOT LONG AGO HUCKABEE WHO WAS A PRESIDENTIAL WANNABE, A FORMER GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS,
09:16 CAME HERE IN FACT AND SPONSORED AN EVENT.
09:19 IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT COULD HOUSE MUCH NOW DOES IT?
09:21 BUT HE PUT A DINNER ON.
09:23 AND WHY IS THAT?
09:25 TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT WE INDEED SHOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
09:30 OF THE JEWISH BID TO BUILD IN THEIR OWN CAPITAL CITY.
09:36 IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE BEYOND THE PALE OF REASON NOW DOES IT?
09:40 BUT WE LIVE IN A WORLD TODAY THAT'S NOT DRIVEN BY REASON
09:44 PEOPLE ARE DRIVEN BY SPIRITS THAT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND,
09:48 BY FORCES THAT THEY CAN'T CONTROL
09:51 AND IT SWEEPS UP EVEN TO HERE,
09:53 JERUSALEM, EAST JERUSALEM,
09:55 TO THIS PLACE, THE SHEPHERD'S HOTEL,
09:58 A PLACE WHERE JEWS ARE LOOKING TO CONSTRUCT
10:00 WHILE FORCES ARE LOOKING TO DESTRUCT AND OBSTRUCT
10:04 AND GET IN THE WAY OF THE JEWISH BID FOR RESIDENCY IN THE ANCESTRAL HOMELAND.
10:10 WE CLOSE EVERY PROGRAM SAYING,
10:11 SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM,
10:14 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
10:16 AND WHEN I STAND HERE IN FRONT OF THE SHEPHERD'S HOTEL
10:19 I'M REMINDED THAT INDEED WE DO NEED TO KEEP JERUSALEM IN OUR PRAYERS.
10:27 IN PSALM CHAPTER 2
10:29 THE AUTHOR ASKS A QUESTION
10:31 THAT I'VE WONDERED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION...
10:33 "WHY DO THE NATIONS RAGE?"
10:37 AND PARTICULARLY, WHY DO THEY RAGE AGAINST JEWS, AGAINST ISRAEL AND PLOT ISRAEL'S DEMISE?
10:47 I THINK THAT PEOPLE ARE DRIVEN BY FORCES THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND,
10:53 BY SPIRITS THAT THEY CAN'T CONTROL.
10:56 PEOPLE ARE PROPELLED INTO A WORLD OF MADNESS.
11:01 AND THAT'S THE BAD NEWS.
11:03 THE GOOD NEWS, HOWEVER,
11:04 IS THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE DRIVEN BY A NEW SPIRIT,
11:09 FOR SCRIPTURE PROMISES THAT GOD'S PEOPLE WILL GET A NEW HEART AND A NEW SPIRIT
11:14 AND WE INDEED ARE TRANSFORMED.
11:18 I MENTION THIS BECAUSE IN ISRAEL TODAY THERE'S NOT JUST BAD NEWS HAPPENING,
11:24 IT'S NOT JUST THE STORY OF THE WORLD COMING UNGLUED
11:28 BUT RATHER, INCREASINGLY MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE COMING TO JERUSALEM
11:33 TO WORSHIP THE GOD OF ISRAEL THERE
11:36 AND TO STAND BEHIND THE JEWISH PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING A BID THERE,
11:42 A BID THAT'S BORN OUT OF PROPHETIC FULFILLMENT I MIGHT ADD.
11:46 THEY COME IN DROVES BY THE THOUSANDS
11:49 AND ANNUALLY BY THE TENS AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.
11:53 OUR FRIEND, DAVID DOLAN,
11:55 A CBS NEWS CORRESPONDENT WHO WORKS FOR OTHERS AS WELL
11:59 WAS THERE COVERING THIS FANTASTIC MARCH
12:02 PUT TOGETHER BY THE INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN EMBASSY IN JERUSALEM.
12:08 WHEN YOU HEAR HIM AND LOOK AT THESE PICTURES YOU MIGHT SEE YOURSELF THERE
12:11 CAUSE IT'S A STORY THAT'S CHOCK FULL OF JEWISH LOVING, ISRAEL LOVING CHRISTIAN PEOPLE.
12:17 AND OFF TO THAT STORY WE GO.
12:22 I'M HERE AT GAN SACHER
12:23 WHICH IS SACHER PARK IN THE CENTER OF JERUSALEM.
12:27 RIGHT ON THE HILL BEHIND ME IS THE KNESSET,
12:31 ISRAELI GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS,
12:33 BUT HERE IN THE PARK TODAY,
12:35 THE DAY OF THE JERUSALEM MARCH,
12:37 IT'S FILLED WITH PEOPLE
12:38 NOT ONLY FROM ALL OVER ISRAEL AS ON A NORMAL DAY,
12:41 NOT ONLY JEWS FROM ABROAD
12:43 BUT WITH THOUSANDS OF CHRISTIANS
12:46 THAT HAVE COME UP TO CELEBRATE THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
12:50 YOU COULD SEE BEHIND ME THE DIFFERENT FLAGS,
12:54 THE DIFFERENT BANNERS ANNOUNCING THE COUNTRIES,
12:58 DOZEN OF COUNTRIES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD PEOPLE HAVE COME.
13:02 A CONTINGENCY UP HERE FROM CHINA...
13:05 THAT WAS UNHEARD OF JUST A FEW YEARS AGO.
13:08 COMING HERE TO CELEBRATE THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES WITH THE LOCAL PEOPLE,
13:12 THE LOCAL CITIZENS OF JERUSALEM,
13:15 THE CITY I CALL HOME.
13:17 AND WE'LL BE MARCHING FROM THIS PARK IN JUST A FEW MINUTES
13:20 UP THE HILL TOWARDS THE OLD CITY OF JERUSALEM
13:24 MARCHING DOWN THE CENTRAL STREETS OF JERUSALEM
13:28 GOING DOWN KING GEORGE STREET,
13:30 THEN TO JAFFA ROAD
13:32 AND ENDING UP RIGHT OUTSIDE THE WALLS OF THE OLD CITY JERUSALEM.
13:36 PEOPLE WILL GATHER THERE, LISTEN TO SPEECHES, LISTEN TO MUSIC,
13:40 BUT MAINLY IT'S ABOUT THE MARCH.
13:43 THE PEOPLE HAVE COME FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD FROM EVERY CONTINENT,
13:48 A HUGE CONTINGENCY FROM BRAZIL,
13:50 A HUGE GROUP FROM AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND,
13:53 THE FARTHEST REACHES OF THE EARTH,
13:55 AND OF COURSE THE UNITED STATES AND EUROPE AND AFRICA
13:59 COMING HERE TO CELEBRATE THE UNITY OF JERUSALEM
14:03 AND THE FACT THAT ISRAEL AGAIN LIVES
14:06 AND JERUSALEM IS ITS HEART.
14:11 I'M FROM SINGAPORE.
14:13 WE ARE HERE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE JERUSALEM MARCH.
14:15 I'M FROM FINLAND
14:17 AND WE ARE ALL HERE FOR TO PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE OF JERUSALEM.

14:53 YES, WE LOVE THIS CITY OF DAVID.
14:55 THE BRAZILIAN PEOPLE LOVES ISRAEL...
14:57 PRAYS FOR ISRAEL.
14:59 I COME TO JERUSALEM TO CELEBRATE SUKKOTH, FEAST OF TABERNACLES,
15:02 TO STAND WITH THE ISRAELIS AND LET THEM KNOW
15:05 THAT I LOVE THEM AND CARE FOR THEM AND THEY'RE NOT ALONE.
15:08 YOU SEE ALL THE NATIONS GETTING TOGETHER...
15:09 I HEARD THIS IS ABOUT 70 NATIONS COMING TOGETHER...
15:11 EVERYBODY...
15:12 SO THAT IS GREAT INDEED.
15:14 AND IT'S JUST WONDERFUL
15:15 TO SEE PEOPLE FROM SO MANY DIFFERENT PLACES IN THE WORLD
15:18 LIVING SIDE BY SIDE AND HAVING A GREAT TIME.
15:21 AND I REALLY BELIEVE THIS IS A MESSAGE WE'RE SENDING OUT TO THE WHOLE WORLD.
15:24 EVERY NATIONS AND TRIBES WILL COME TO JERUSALEM

15:31 THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE...

16:22 I BELIEVE THAT GOD HAS OBTAINED ISRAEL TO LEAD THE REVIVAL OF THE COMING OF JESUS
16:29 AND AS SUCH I BELIEVE THAT EVERY THING MUST BE DONE TO SUPPORT THE NATION OF ISRAEL.
16:33 GOD HAS A PLAN FOR ISRAEL...
16:34 HE'S STILL PART OF THE PLAN

20:01 COMING UP RIGHT NOW IS A FRIEND OF ISRAEL, MALCOLM HEDDING,
20:05 THE DIRECTOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN EMBASSY, JERUSALEM.
20:12 MALCOLM IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU.
20:14 AND WITH YOU JEFF.
20:16 THE INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN EMBASSY
20:18 IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MINISTRIES IN ALL THE WORLD.
20:22 I GET A LITTLE INTERNET THING FROM YOU
20:23 I THINK ON A DAILY BASIS
20:25 TO GET A WINDOW INTO WHAT IS HAPPENING.
20:27 CAN YOU TELL US WHAT THE INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN EMBASSY IS
20:31 FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW?
20:32 WELL THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS.
20:34 WE APPRECIATE THAT.
20:35 THE INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN EMBASSY, JERUSALEM
20:38 IS TRULY THAT...
20:40 IT REPRESENTS THE LOVE AND THE CONCERN
20:43 THAT CHRISTIANS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE FOR THIS NATION
20:46 BECAUSE THESE CHRISTIANS BELIEVE
20:49 THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ISRAEL IN OUR TIME IS NOT A POLITICAL ACCIDENT
20:54 BUT THE FULFILLMENT
20:55 OF GOD'S WORD AND PROMISE
20:56 THAT HE GAVE TO ABRAHAM 4,000 YEARS AGO
21:00 AND THEREFORE THESE CHRISTIANS EXPRESS THEIR LOVE,
21:05 THEIR CONCERN,
21:06 THEIR PRAYERS
21:07 AND ALL THE ACTION ON BEHALF OF ISRAEL.
21:10 VERY OFTEN THROUGH THIS ORGANIZATION
21:13 WHICH IS SITUATED HERE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL PART OF JERUSALEM IN THE GERMAN COLONY.
21:17 AND WE ARE IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD
21:20 AN INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN EMBASSY.
21:22 THE INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN EMBASSY FIRST OF ALL
21:24 IS PROBABLY MOST FAMOUS FOR IT'S HIGH PROFILE PUBLIC EVENT
21:29 WHICH IS THE ANNUAL CHRISTIAN CELEBRATION
21:31 OF THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES
21:33 WHEREBY WE BRING THOUSANDS OF CHRISTIANS HERE
21:35 FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD
21:37 TO PHYSICALLY DEMONSTRATE ON THE STREETS OF ISRAEL
21:40 THEIR LOVE AND THEIR CONCERN FOR THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL.
21:43 LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION
21:44 TO GET AWAY FROM ALL THE GOOD NEWS...
21:46 HOW DO YOU PERCEIVE THE CHURCH'S RELATIONSHIP WITH ISRAEL ON THE WHOLE?
21:51 DOES EVERYONE THINK LIKE YOU?
21:53 WELL I THINK OF COURSE A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T THINK LIKE US.
21:56 WE REPRESENT A STREAM OF CHRISTIANITY
22:00 THAT REJECTS WHAT WE CALL REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY
22:03 AND REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY SEES NO PARTICULAR DIVINE INTERVENTION
22:08 OR SIGNIFICANCE IN THE MODERN DAY RESTORATION OF THE JEWISH STATE.
22:12 BUT OF COURSE WE DO
22:14 BECAUSE WE BASE OUR THEOLOGY SQUARELY ON A PROMISE
22:18 THAT GOD GAVE TO ABRAHAM 4,000 YEARS AGO.
22:21 AND SO THERE ARE MANY CHRISTIANS
22:24 WITHIN THE HISTORICAL CHRISTIAN STREAMS AND ELSEWHERE
22:28 WHO DON'T SEE IT AS WE SEE IT TODAY.
22:30 AND OF COURSE THERE ARE EVEN SOME CHRISTIAN ZIONISTS
22:33 WHO HAVE A MORE POLITICAL IDEA OF WHAT CHRISTIAN ZIONISM IS,
22:38 WHEREAS WE SEE CHRISTIAN ZIONISM
22:41 AS BASED SQUARELY AND FIRMLY ON A BIBLICAL FOUNDATION
22:45 AND THAT THERE ARE MANY FACTORS
22:47 THAT ARE PLAYING INTO ISRAEL'S MODERN DAY RESTORATION TODAY.
22:51 GIVEN THE WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN POLITICALLY NOW...
22:54 TO SHIFT GEARS JUST A TAD BIT...
22:56 ARE YOU CONCERNED THAT ISRAEL IS INCREASINGLY ISOLATED
23:01 AND EVANGELICAL PRAYER WARRIORS ARE RUNNING OUT OF STEAM
23:05 AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE NEEDLE IS POINTING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION?
23:08 ABSOLUTELY, I THINK WE'RE LIVING IN ISRAEL'S MOST DANGEROUS HOUR JEFF
23:13 AND THAT IS THE THREAT OF AHMADINEJAD
23:16 WHICH IS NOT JUST A ONE OFF THREAT.
23:19 AS YOU KNOW ALMOST MONTH AFTER MONTH
23:21 HE RENEWS HIS THREAT AGAINST THE JEWISH STATE IN SOME FORM OR ANOTHER
23:27 WHICH BASICALLY MEANS AS HE HAS STATED
23:30 THAT ISRAEL SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE MAP OF THE EARTH.
23:34 SO THERE'S HOSTILES, THERE'S BELLIGERENCE IN THE WORLD?
23:36 THAT'S RIGHT
23:37 AND EVEN WHEN HE RUNS HIS COURSE
23:39 IT'S GOING TO EMERGE AFRESH >>ABSOLUTELY
23:41 FROM SOME OTHER QUARTER,
23:42 SOME OTHER ISSUE.
23:43 AND THE REAL EVIDENCE OF THIS
23:45 IS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS IN 2006
23:48 AND OF COURSE AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, THE END OF 2008,
23:52 ISRAEL HAS FOUGHT TO PROXY WARS WITH IRAN.
23:56 THE ONE WAS WITH HEZBOLLAH IN 2006 IN THE NORTH OF THE COUNTRY
24:01 AND THE LATEST ONE WAS AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR AGAINST HAMAS.
24:05 BOTH OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE IRANIAN FUNDED
24:08 AND WITH MILITARY EQUIPMENT, ROCKETS OF ONE TYPE OR ANOTHER
24:12 THAT HAVE COME FROM IRAN.
24:14 SO IN ESSENCE ISRAEL HAS BEEN AND IS AT WAR WITH IRAN.
24:18 IT'S NOT A WAR THAT BEGINS WITH THE PUSH OF A BUTTON.
24:22 THE WAR WAS TURNED ON...
24:24 THE MOTOR WAS TURNED ON YEARS AGO.
24:25 THE MOTOR WAS TURNED ON SOME YEARS AGO
24:27 AND IT'S AN INTERESTING THING
24:29 BECAUSE ISRAEL IS NO COMMON BORDER WITH IRAN,
24:32 NO COMMON FIGHT WITH IRAN.
24:34 THIS IS PURELY A RADICAL ISLAMIC AGENDA
24:37 FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF THE JEWISH STATE.
24:40 AS I TELL PEOPLE ALL THE TIME,
24:41 AHMADINEJAD HAS A REAL PROBLEM
24:44 BECAUSE HE WILL HAVE TO REMOVE GOD FROM HIS THRONE
24:47 BEFORE HE REMOVES ISRAEL FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
24:58 (ZOLA PLAYING THE FLUTE)
25:35 AND THAT WAS ZOLA LEVITT...
25:38 THE LATE ZOLA LEVITT IN THE LAND THAT HE LOVED.
25:42 I HOPE YOU'RE COMING TO LOVE IT TOO.
25:45 WE LIVE IN A WORLD TODAY WHERE SO MANY ARE GIVEN TO DISPARAGING THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
25:52 CASTING ASPERSIONS ON THE MODERN NATION STATE OF ISRAEL.
25:57 IN A WORLD THAT'S GIVEN TO ABANDONMENT AND BETRAYAL AND SO MUCH DISAPPOINTMENT.
26:02 THOSE OF US THAT HAVE SIMILAR WORLD VIEWS NEED TO BAND TOGETHER.
26:09 I HOPE YOU WILL VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT WWW.LEVITT.COM.
26:14 I HOPE YOU'LL CALL US ON 1-800-WONDERS AND WANT TO BE CONNECTED TO US.

26:27 WE NEED TO BAND TOGETHER AND TOGETHER LIFT UP THE TESTIMONY OF GOD'S LOVE FOR THE WORLD
26:35 AND GOD'S LOVE FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
