Caption transcript for “Introducing Myles and Katharine”

  • 00:16 BRETHREN, MY HEART'S DESIRE AND PRAYER TO GOD FOR ISRAEL IS THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED.
  • 00:23 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
  • 00:43 SHALOM AND WELCOME
  • 00:44 TO ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
  • 00:46 I'M SANDRA
  • 00:47 AND I WANT TO THANK YOU
  • 00:48 FOR JOINING US AND WATCHING THE
  • 00:49 ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS PROGRAMS.
  • 00:51 I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU
  • 00:53 FOR BEING SO FAITHFUL TO THIS MINISTRY GOOD TIMES AND BAD.
  • 00:57 ZOLA'S BEEN GONE 5 YEARS WITH THE LORD
  • 00:59 AND HE HAD A VISION FOR ALL OF US THAT WE KNOW OUR JEWISH ROOTS
  • 01:04 AND THAT WE WOULD LOVE AND KNOW ISRAEL.
  • 01:07 DURING THAT TIME MY GOOD FRIEND, DR. JEFFREY SEIF, STEPPED UP TO THE TABLE AND SAID "I'LL HELP".
  • 01:14 HE'S DONE GREAT TEACHING,
  • 01:15 WE'VE GONE TO ISRAEL,
  • 01:16 WE'VE HAD SOME WONDERFUL TIMES.
  • 01:18 BUT NOW HE'S DECIDED TO STEP DOWN AND PURSUE SOME ACADEMIC ENDEAVORS.
  • 01:23 I UNDERSTAND IT.
  • 01:24 IF IT WERE ME I'D PROBABLY DO THE SAME THING...
  • 01:26 IF I DON'T' DO IT NOW...WHEN AM I GOING TO DO MY ACADEMICS?
  • 01:30 SO WE WANT TO WISH JEFF ALL THE BEST.
  • 01:33 I DO BELIEVE IN MY HEART OF HEARTS THAT PEOPLE THAT ARE IN MINISTRY HAVE A SEASON.
  • 01:39 WE ALL HAVE A SEASON.
  • 01:40 SOMETIMES ITS SHORTER...
  • 01:42 SOMETIMES IT'S LONGER.
  • 01:43 IT IS ALWAYS AND TRULY FOR GOD'S GLORY.
  • 01:47 SO JOINING ME IS MARK LEVITT,
  • 01:49 ZOLA'S SON,
  • 01:50 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS,
  • 01:53 FAMILY, AND MY FRIEND.
  • 01:55 SO... WHERE ARE WE GOING,
  • 01:57 WHAT ARE WE DOING TO DO IN THE MINISTRY NOW,
  • 01:59 WHAT'S EXCITING?
  • 02:00 WELL WE STILL HAVE SOME
  • 02:01 TERRIFIC PROGRAMS COMING
  • 02:03 TO THE AUDIENCE WITH JEFF
  • 02:04 AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO TRANSITION TO MYLES AND KATHARINE WEISS.
  • 02:08 RIGHT
  • 02:09 MYLES IS A PASTOR UNTO PASTORS.

  • 02:12 HE'S GROWN UP IN A JEWISH FAMILY, BEEN TO SYNAGOGUE,
  • 02:15 SPEAKS IN HEBREW
  • 02:17 AND WE HAVE A LOT TO LOOK FORWARD
  • 02:18 WITH HIM BEING ON TOURS
  • 02:20 INCLUDING WITH YOU THIS FALL.
  • 02:21 THAT'S RIGHT AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT
  • 02:23 JEFF IS STILL GOING TO BE AROUND DOING SOME TEACHING WITH US.
  • 02:25 SO IT'S NOT LIKE HE'S JUST FALLEN OFF SOMEWHERE.
  • 02:27 HE'S STILL GOING TO BE AROUND TEACHING.

  • 02:44 THAT'S RIGHT
  • 02:45 AND OF COURSE WE STILL HAVE KEN BEHIND THE SCENES WHO'S A TERRIFIC RECRUITER.
  • 02:49 ACTUALLY HE'S THE ONE WHO DISCOVERED ZOLA, THOUGH MANY FOLKS THINKS IT IS VISA VERSA.
  • 02:53 RIGHT, THAT IS TRUE, I REMEMBER KEN WALKING IN TO ZOLA
  • 02:55 AND SAYING, "YOU'VE GOT A REALLY GOOD IDEA,"
  • 02:58 "YOU'VE A REALLY GOOD VISION... LET ME HELP YOU GET IT OUT".

  • 06:36 MUSIC BY PAUL WILBUR,
  • 06:38 ALWAYS INSPIRATIONAL,
  • 06:39 I LOVE HEARING HIM AND I REALLY DO THANK HIM FOR IT.
  • 06:42 WITH ME IS DR. TOM MCCALL,
  • 06:44 SENIOR THEOLOGIAN OF THE MINISTRY,
  • 06:46 GOOD FRIEND OF ZOLA'S,
  • 06:47 MENTOR... MENTOR TO ME,
  • 06:50 I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR THE MINISTRY.
  • 06:52 I REMEMBER THAT YOU AND ZOLA MET IN 1972... EXPLO 72.
  • 06:57 EXPLO 72
  • 06:58 HE WAS HERE WITH CAMPUS CRUSADE FOR CHRIST
  • 07:02 AND HE HAD ONLY KNOWN THE LORD ABOUT 6 MONTHS AT THAT TIME.
  • 07:06 AND WE MET,
  • 07:08 HE STARTED COMING TO OUR BEIT SAR SHALOM...
  • 07:12 MESSIANIC CONGREGATION >>MESSIANIC FELLOWSHIP
  • 07:15 AND WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME TOGETHER.
  • 07:18 ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MEANT A LOT TO HIM
  • 07:20 WAS WHEN HE SAW THE CHRIST IN THE PASSOVER PRESENTATION. >>RIGHT
  • 07:24 AND HE REALIZED THAT ALL OF HIS JEWISH UPBRINGING IN HIS YOUTH
  • 07:30 WAS NOT SOMETHING TO BE THROWN AWAY
  • 07:33 BUT WAS SOMETHING TO BUILD UPON.
  • 07:35 THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE MINISTRY
  • 07:37 WAS TO TEACH PEOPLE JEWISH ROOTS...
  • 07:39 WAS THE POINT.
  • 07:40 AND THAT EVERYTHING POINTS TO CHRIST...
  • 07:43 RIGHT
  • 07:44 TO HIS OWN MESSIAH...
  • 07:45 TO YESHUA HA'MASHIACH
  • 07:46 AND THAT WAS A WONDERFUL THING.
  • 07:48 AND WE WROTE A BOOK TOGETHER ABOUT THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE IN THE TRIBULATION
  • 07:55 AND HOW IT WOULD BE DESECRATED BY THE ANTI-CHRIST,
  • 07:58 SO THE NAME OF THE BOOK WAS
  • 07:59 "SATAN IN THE SANCTUARY".
  • 08:01 A BEST SELLER AS I UNDERSTAND.
  • 08:02 AND THEN OUR FRIEND MEL COUCH SAID,
  • 08:05 "COME ON LET ME MAKE A FILM ABOUT THIS BOOK"
  • 08:09 AND SO THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME THAT ZOLA WENT TO ISRAEL OF MANY, MANY, MANY TIMES.
  • 08:16 OF MANY, MANY TIMES... RIGHT
  • 08:18 YES AND WE WENT OVER THERE AND DID THE FILM
  • 08:23 AND THE LORD BLESSED THAT AND MANY OTHER THINGS THAT WE HAD DONE TOGETHER.
  • 08:30 WE BEGAN TAKING TRIPS TOGETHER OVER INTO ISRAEL
  • 08:35 WHEN HE WAS DOING HIS TELEVISION PROGRAMS.
  • 08:39 RIGHT
  • 08:41 AND ALONG WITH KEN BERG
  • 08:42 AND A CRACK CREW OF THE PRODUCTION TEAM.
  • 08:46 SO WE REALLY GOT WONDERFULLY ACQUAINTED
  • 08:50 ALL DURING THOSE TIMES AS WELL.
  • 08:53 AND ON LOCATION
  • 08:54 YOU ALL WENT EVERYWHERE ALL OVER ISRAEL FILMING.
  • 08:57 ALL OVER ISRAEL
  • 08:58 ONE OF THE PLACES THAT WE REALLY ENJOYED
  • 09:00 AND ONE OF THE KEY FILMINGS THAT WAS DONE
  • 09:04 WAS ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
  • 09:06 MOUNT OF OLIVES
  • 09:07 AND I BELIEVE WE WERE CLOSE TO THE CHURCH OF THE TEAR DROP
  • 09:11 WHERE JESUS WEPT
  • 09:13 AND WE WERE LOOKING AT THE DOME OF THE ROCK
  • 09:17 AND THE TEMPLE MOUNT WAS SPREAD OUT IN FRONT OF US...
  • 09:23 IT'S A WONDERFUL SITE
  • 09:24 AND ITS SOMETHING THAT WE OFTEN SEE IN PICTURES AND SO FORTH.
  • 09:29 AND ZOLA BEGAN ONE OF THE BEST DESCRIPTIONS
  • 09:33 OF THE 3,000 YEARS OF HISTORY THAT HAD HAPPENED AT THAT SITE
  • 09:39 AND THE PROPHECY THAT WAS TO COME WITH THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST.
  • 09:46 IT WAS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.
  • 09:48 I'VE NEVER FORGOTTEN IT
  • 09:50 AND I THINK THEY SHOW IT EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE.
  • 09:53 THEY DO AND IN FACT WHEN WE WERE IN ISRAEL
  • 09:55 HE WOULD GO AND WE WOULD DO THIS 3,000 YEAR HISTORY
  • 09:58 AND PEOPLE WERE LIKE...
  • 10:00 NO ONE HAD EVER EXPLAINED IT TO THEM QUITE THAT WAY.
  • 10:02 HE WAS A WONDERFUL TEACHER.
  • 10:04 AND HE COULD DO IT BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE.
  • 10:06 SO I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO SEE YOU ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES...
  • 10:08 YOU AND ZOLA IN SOME FILM NOW.
  • 10:10 YES... ALRIGHT
  • 10:13 NOW THIS WOULD BE THE
  • 10:14 FOURTH AND MILLENNIAL TEMPLE
  • 10:16 AND HE WILL RULE AS THE
  • 10:17 KING PRIEST OVER ISRAEL
  • 10:19 THE HEAD OR THE NATIONS
  • 10:21 AND OVER ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH FROM HIS CAPITAL IN JERUSALEM.
  • 10:24 TOM, IF WE STOOD HERE...
  • 10:26 SOMEHOW IF WE COULD STAND HERE
  • 10:28 FOR THE YEARS AS THIS WOULD TAKE,
  • 10:30 WE WOULD ALMOST MISS NO PROPHECY.
  • 10:32 WE WOULD SEE EVERYTHING FROM THE TREATY OF THE ANTI-CHRIST
  • 10:36 RIGHT ON THROUGH THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION,
  • 10:38 THE GATHERING OF ARMAGEDDON,
  • 10:39 THE SECOND COMING OF THE LORD WITH THE CHURCH,
  • 10:42 THE JUDGMENT,
  • 10:43 THE SETTING UP OF THE KINGDOM...
  • 10:44 AND ALL OF IT...
  • 10:45 RIGHT HERE.
  • 10:46 IF WE STOOD ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
  • 10:48 ACTUALLY SINCE THE TIME THAT ABRAHAM BROUGHT ISAAC HERE
  • 10:52 AND OFFERED HIM IN SACRIFICE
  • 10:53 ON THE SITE OF WHAT IS NOW THE DOME OF THE ROCK TRADITIONALLY...
  • 10:58 IF WE STOOD HERE ALL THAT TIME...
  • 11:00 SOME 4,000 YEARS...
  • 11:02 WE WOULD HAVE SEEN SOLOMON'S TEMPLE CONSTRUCTED HERE
  • 11:04 AND DESTROYED BY NEBUCHADNEZZAR...
  • 11:07 WE WOULD HAVE SEEN ZERUBBABEL'S TEMPLE CONSTRUCTED
  • 11:09 AND REMODELED BY HEROD
  • 11:11 AND DESTROYED BY TITUS
  • 11:12 AND THEN ALL THE REST THAT TOM SAID
  • 11:14 RIGHT ON THROUGH THE 1,000 YEAR KINGDOM
  • 11:16 AND ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL THAT GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT
  • 11:20 AND ETERNITY.
  • 11:41 THANK YOU TOM.
  • 11:42 I LOVE YOUR TEACHING.
  • 11:43 I LOVE SEEING THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
  • 11:45 THAT WAS WONDERFUL.
  • 11:46 IT REALLY WAS
  • 11:48 AND I'VE ALWAYS ENJOYED WORKING WITH ZOLA IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS
  • 11:52 AND HE WAS SUCH A BLESSING TO ME.
  • 11:54 AND NOW AS WE LOOK FORWARD
  • 11:56 ITS BEEN MY PRIVILEGE TO MEET MYLES AND KATHARINE WEISS

  • 18:18 I HAVE A FRIEND WHO ALWAYS TELLS ME,
  • 18:20 "IF GOD CALLS YOU HE WILL EQUIP YOU".
  • 18:23 I'M SITTING WITH KATHARINE AND MYLES WEISS
  • 18:26 AND THEY ARE EQUIPPED FOR THIS MINISTRY.
  • 18:29 I AM SO GLAD TO SEE YOU ALL.
  • 18:30 THANK YOU SO MUCH
  • 18:31 THANK YOU VERY MUCH
  • 18:32 SO I REALLY WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU.
  • 18:33 I WANT TO KNOW WHERE YOU'RE FROM...
  • 18:35 I WANT TO KNOW HOW OLD YOU ARE... I WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY CHILDREN THERE ARE...
  • 18:36 HOW DID YOU COME TO KNOW THE LORD... ARE YOU JEWISH... EVERYTHING...
  • 18:39 SO JUST START AT THE BEGINNING AND JUST DO IT.
  • 18:41 WELL I WAS BORN IN THE OLD COUNTRY, NEW YORK CITY,
  • 18:43 AND WENT TO HEBREW SCHOOL 3 DAYS A WEEK,
  • 18:46 WAS BAR MITZVAHED AT 13.
  • 18:48 AT THAT TIME I TOOK A HARD LEFT
  • 18:50 AND WAS WONDERING AROUND THE NEW AGE IN SAN FRANCISCO
  • 18:53 WHEN I MET THIS INCREDIBLE YOUNG LADY.
  • 18:55 THE INCREDIBLE YOUNG LADY WHO IS GORGEOUS AND WHAT DID YOU DO?
  • 18:58 AND I WAS WORKING IN SAN FRANCISCO
  • 19:01 AND I WAS A NEW BELIEVER
  • 19:02 AND WE MET THROUGH MUTUAL FRIENDS
  • 19:04 AND HE ASKED ME OUT ON A DATE
  • 19:06 AND SO THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT OF AS A NEW BELIEVER IS
  • 19:09 "I NEED TO LET HIM KNOW WHAT I'M COMING FROM".
  • 19:11 AND SO OUT AT THIS VERY NICE RESTAURANT
  • 19:14 I TOLD HIM THAT JESUS WAS MY LORD AND SAVIOR
  • 19:16 AND HE ACTUALLY SAID... "SHOOSH".
  • 19:19 WELL SHE SAID SHE WOULD SHOUT IT ON THE HOUSETOPS
  • 19:22 AND I SAID "DON'T SHOUT IT IN THE GOOD EARTH I'M A REGULAR HERE."
  • 19:24 HE WAS A REGULAR
  • 19:25 SO IT WAS A PROCESS
  • 19:27 AND I ACTUALLY WENT HOME AND I SAID
  • 19:30 "YOU KNOW GOD..."
  • 19:31 "THIS IS A JEWISH MAN"
  • 19:32 "AND I'M A NEW BELIEVER..."
  • 19:34 "I WAS THE FIRST ONE SAVED IN MY FAMILY..."
  • 19:36 "I CAME FROM A CATHOLIC BACKGROUND..."
  • 19:37 "CAN YOU SAVE A JEWISH PERSON?"
  • 19:39 ISN'T THAT A SILLY QUESTION?
  • 19:41 BUT THE LORD WAS SO GRACIOUS TO ME.
  • 19:43 I WAS WALKING THROUGH THE CAMPUS WHERE I WAS GOING TO SCHOOL
  • 19:46 AND A "JEW FOR JESUS" HANDED ME A TRACT.
  • 19:49 OKAY... THAT GIVES ME CHILLS.
  • 19:51 IT REALLY DOES...
  • 19:52 THAT GOD ALWAYS PROVIDES DOESN'T HE?
  • 19:54 HE DOES.
  • 19:55 AND VERY SPECIFICALLY
  • 19:56 HE WAS LETTING ME KNOW
  • 19:58 THAT NOT ONLY DOES HE SAVE JEWISH PEOPLE
  • 20:00 BUT HE IS JEW.
  • 20:01 HE IS A JEW.
  • 20:02 AND THAT WAS MOSHE'S...
  • 20:03 THAT WAS ZOLA'S...
  • 20:04 AND THAT WAS THE CHALLENGE THAT KATHARINE BROUGHT TO ME.
  • 20:07 SHE SAID, "YOU ARE NOT REALLY AN HONEST SEEKER".
  • 20:09 I SAID, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"
  • 20:11 SHE SAID, "WELL YOU HAVEN'T EVEN LOOKED IN YOUR OWN BOOK SINCE YOUR BAR MITZVAH."
  • 20:14 AND SO SHE CHALLENGED ME TO LOOK IN THE BIBLE.
  • 20:16 AND SHE CHALLENGED ME TO PRAY AND ASK GOD IF JESUS WAS THE MESSIAH OF THE JEWS.
  • 20:19 SO I BEGAN TO DO THAT
  • 20:21 AND GOD JUST UNLOADED ON ME.
  • 20:22 SO WHERE DID YOU START?
  • 20:24 I'M ALWAYS CURIOUS WHERE PEOPLE START WHEN THEY SAY "I STARTED IN THE BIBLE"...
  • 20:26 WHERE DID YOU START... WHAT CHAPTER....
  • 20:28 THAT'S GOOD...
  • 20:30 ACTUALLY I WAS INSTRUCTED BY A MAN THAT I RAN INTO... A PASTOR.
  • 20:32 I RAN INTO HIM THE SAME TIME THAT SHE WAS TALKING TO THE "JEWS FOR JESUS"
  • 20:35 I WAS ASKING GOD IN MY OFFICE AT HOME,
  • 20:38 "GOD YOU HAVE TO SEND ME GUIDANCE".
  • 20:40 THE NEXT DAY >>OH MY
  • 20:42 A YOUNG PASTOR CAME UP TO ME IN A PARKING LOT AT A COLLEGE
  • 20:45 AND HE SAID TO ME,
  • 20:46 "YOU'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR GUIDANCE".
  • 20:48 AND NO ONE KNEW THAT.
  • 20:49 WELL THAT GIVES ME CHILLS TOO.
  • 20:50 NO ONE KNEW THAT
  • 20:51 AND HE SAID
  • 20:53 "YOU'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR GUIDANCE AND GOD WANTS TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU."
  • 20:56 THE NEXT DAY HE BROUGHT ME A BIBLE
  • 20:58 AND YESHUA, THE JEWISH WAY TO SAY "JESUS",
  • 21:00 AND CHRIST IN THE PASSOVER,
  • 21:01 AND A SERIES OF BOOKS
  • 21:03 AND WE MET FOR HOURS
  • 21:04 AND HE UNFOLDED THE GOSPEL TO ME
  • 21:05 AND TOLD ME TO START IN THE BOOK OF JOHN, WHICH I DID.
  • 21:08 SAME WAY ZOLA STARTED.
  • 21:09 AND HE SAID, "THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD ME TO DO... THAT'S WHAT I DID".
  • 21:12 HE FINISHED READING JOHN AND SAID "IF YOU'RE THERE LORD... SHOW ME".
  • 21:15 EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.
  • 21:17 AND THEN SIMILAR TO ZOLA
  • 21:18 I THOUGHT I WAS THE FIRST JEW THAT HAD EVER BECOME A BELIEVER.
  • 21:21 SO I CALLED THE "JEWS FOR JESUS" IN SAN FRANCISCO
  • 21:23 AND SAID "HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE?"
  • 21:25 AND THEY SAID... "A FEW OF US".
  • 21:27 FOR 2000 YEARS
  • 21:29 A FEW OF US
  • 21:30 AND SO THAT UNFOLDED,
  • 21:32 WE WENT RIGHT ON THE FAST TRACK,
  • 21:34 I WAS 33 BY THEN SO I WAS IN A HURRY...
  • 21:35 WE WENT RIGHT TO BIBLE COLLEGE
  • 21:37 AND THEN GRADUATE SCHOOL
  • 21:38 AND RIGHT INTO MINISTRY.
  • 21:40 AND OVERSEAS WE WERE PREACHING THE GOSPEL
  • 21:41 IN THE NATIONS OF AFRICA, INDIA, RUSSIA FOR YEARS.
  • 21:44 WOW
  • 21:45 AND OVER THE TIME WE DEVELOPED OUR MARRIAGE SEMINAR
  • 21:48 "FROM THIS DAY FORWARD"
  • 21:49 AND WE WERE DOING THE MARRIAGE SEMINAR IN RUSSIA...
  • 21:51 SIBERIA
  • 21:52 YEAH
  • 21:53 ON PURPOSE OH MY GOODNESS
  • 21:56 ...WHERE WE HAD PLANTED A CHURCH.
  • 21:58 TELL HER WHAT HAPPENED ON THE WAY BACK
  • 21:59 OH, WELL...
  • 22:00 WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO HIDE OUR JEWISHNESS BY SOMEBODY
  • 22:04 SO WE WERE A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS GOING TO RUSSIA.
  • 22:08 AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS BAD INFORMATION
  • 22:10 BUT WHEN WE GOT ON...
  • 22:11 THIS LARGE GENTLEMAN WITH A BIG TORAH GOT ON
  • 22:14 AND BROKE UP ALL THAT FEAR OF LIKE
  • 22:18 "WHY WOULD I WANT TO HIDE THE MOST PRECIOUS THING THAT'S DEAREST TO ME?"
  • 22:21 RIGHT... RIGHT
  • 22:22 AND SO NOT ONLY DID WE NOT HIDE IT
  • 22:24 BUT FROM THEN ON WE STARTED KEEPING THE FEASTS IN OUR HOME
  • 22:27 AND WE STARTED SHARING WITH JEWISH PEOPLE
  • 22:29 AND PEOPLE STARTED COMING TO OUR HOME...
  • 22:31 OUR KIDS LOVED IT...
  • 22:32 THEY WOULD LOOK FORWARD TO THESE TIMES THAT WE'D HAVE TOGETHER...
  • 22:35 PEOPLE GOT SAVED...
  • 22:36 ONE MAN GOT TOUCHED AND HEALED...
  • 22:38 YOU KNOW GOD BEGAN TO REALLY ANSWER PRAYER.
  • 22:41 WONDERFUL THINGS HAPPENED.
  • 22:43 IT BECAME SO BIG WE CALLED IT BEIT SHALOM, "THE HOUSE OF PEACE"
  • 22:45 RIGHT... THE HOUSE OF PEACE
  • 22:46 AND IT BECAME SO LARGE WE OUTGREW OUR HOME
  • 22:49 AND STARTED TO MEET AT A LOCAL CONGREGATION
  • 22:50 WHERE I HAD BEEN THE PASTOR.
  • 22:52 SO THAT'S BEEN THE UNFOLDING SAGA.
  • 22:54 THEN WE STARTED BRINGING PASTORS TO ISRAEL.
  • 22:57 SEE I LOVE THAT.
  • 22:58 I THINK EVERY PASTOR OUGHT TO BE IN ISRAEL.
  • 23:00 HOW CAN YOU PREACH THIS GOSPEL IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT ISRAEL LOOKS LIKE?
  • 23:05 I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
  • 23:06 I DON'T EITHER
  • 23:07 AND SOME OF THE TESTIMONIES...
  • 23:09 ONE MAN WITH A CHURCH OF 3,000 IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD... THAT'S A BIG CHURCH
  • 23:11 THAT'S A BIG CHURCH... >>MAYBE NOT HERE IN TEXAS.
  • 23:12 NOT IN TEXAS... BUT ITS A BIG CHURCH
  • 23:14 ONE MAN SAID, "MYLES WHY WASN'T THIS 35 YEARS AGO IN SEMINARY..."
  • 23:17 "WHY DID I WAIT MY WHOLE MINISTRY LIFE"
  • 23:20 "TO SEE THE JEWISHNESS OF THE GOSPEL AND TO EXPERIENCE IT IN THE LAND?"
  • 23:24 AND SO WE WERE THRILLED.
  • 23:25 WE STARTED CONNECTING WITH CHRISTIAN LEADERS IN THE BAY AREA...
  • 23:28 OH GOSH THAT'S WONDERFUL
  • 23:29 WITH THE CHRISTIAN AND BELIEVING COMMUNITY IN ISRAEL
  • 23:32 AND IT JUST BECAME A HEARTBEAT WHEN WE GO TWICE A YEAR
  • 23:35 BRINGING LEADERS OVER THERE.
  • 23:36 WHAT A WONDERFUL MINISTRY.
  • 23:38 AND ISN'T IT INTERESTING TO SEE THE MESSIANIC CONGREGATIONS IN ISRAEL STARTING OUT SO FEW...
  • 23:43 I THINK 10 AT ONE TIME...
  • 23:44 AND NOW HUNDREDS OF MESSIANIC CONGREGATIONS.
  • 23:47 THE JEWS ARE HUNGRY.
  • 23:49 CORRECT >>HUNGRY... I THINK WE'RE ALL HUNGRY
  • 23:51 WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS WORLD?
  • 23:53 WELL THE ONLY WAY TO EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING ON IS THROUGH THE BIBLE. >>RIGHT
  • 23:56 THE HEADLINES WON'T EXPLAIN IT.
  • 23:57 THE ONLY WAY TO INTERPRET THE HEADLINES IS THROUGH THE BIBLE
  • 24:00 RIGHT... AND OUR LEADERS?... FORGET IT.
  • 24:02 WE CAN'T COUNT ON MEN
  • 24:03 WE CAN ONLY COUNT ON GOD
  • 24:04 AND THE BIBLE IS JUST RICH WITH ALL THAT.
  • 24:07 RIGHT >>EXACTLY
  • 24:09 AND THEN WE'RE GETTING READY TO DO A SERIES WITH YOU ALL ON RUTH
  • 24:11 AND YOU ALL ARE KIND OF THE "RUTH PEOPLE".
  • 24:12 IT WAS SHOCKING WHEN KEN...
  • 24:13 WHEN I HEARD FROM KEN AND FROM MARK
  • 24:15 THAT PROVIDENTIALLY YOU ARE AT THE POINT IN ZOLA'S MINISTRY TO TEACH THE BOOK OF RUTH
  • 24:21 AND THAT'S OUR LIFE STORY.
  • 24:22 AND THAT'S WHAT YOU ALL TEACH.
  • 24:24 IT IS WHAT WE TEACH AS WE USE A LOT OF THE BOOK OF RUTH IN OUR MARRIAGE SEMINAR
  • 24:27 AND THAT'S OUR STORY BECAUSE OF THE GENTILE BEAUTY RUTH PREACHED TO THE JEWISH PERSON
  • 24:33 AND TOGETHER WE CAME TO THE LORD OF THE HARVEST AND FOUND A PROSPERITY OF THE LORD.
  • 24:37 ISN'T THAT SOMETHING? IT IS JUST SUCH A...
  • 24:39 IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT ISRAEL... IT'S ABOUT US TOO...
  • 24:42 IT'S ABOUT OUR SALVATION... IT'S ABOUT OUR REDEMPTION...
  • 24:44 THE BEAUTY OF GOD'S COMFORT... I LOVE IT... THE BIBLE IS JUST TERRIFIC.
  • 24:49 AND ITS ABOUT FRIENDSHIP TOO...
  • 24:51 ITS ABOUT WALKING TOGETHER IN COVENANT LOVE... GENTILE AND JEW...
  • 24:55 AND WALKING TOGETHER IN LOVE
  • 24:58 AND BRINGING THE JEWISH PEOPLE BACK TO THE HOUSE OF BREAD...
  • 25:01 BRINGING THEM BACK TO THE PROSPERITY FROM WHENCE THEY...
  • 25:04 THE HOLIDAYS FOR ME... I LOVE THE SEVEN FEASTS
  • 25:07 AND TO SEE CHRIST IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM SPEAK VOLUMES... JUST VOLUMES.
  • 25:14 AND IT'S SO WONDERFUL TO SEE SO MANY BELIEVERS AROUND THE WORLD...
  • 25:17 GENTILE BELIEVERS BEGINNING TO START TO UNDERSTAND THE JEWISHNESS OF THE FEASTS
  • 25:22 AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO THEIR HEBREW ROOTS
  • 25:24 AND ZOLA WAS A FORERUNNER.
  • 25:25 HE WAS ONE OF A KIND... HE AND MOSHE...
  • 25:28 YOU KNOW I READ ONE OF THE OBITUARIES WHEN MOSHE DIED
  • 25:32 AND IT SAID, "THE TWO GREAT MEN ARE GONE".
  • 25:34 AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS A REAL TESTIMONY TO BOTH OF THEM.
  • 25:37 THEY DID... THE BOTH THOUGHT THEY WERE THE ONLY JEWISH PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.
  • 25:43 AND THEY'VE AFFECTED...
  • 25:44 I THINK EVERY JEWISH BELIEVER THAT'S ALIVE TODAY HAD BEEN TOUCHED BY ZOLA.
  • 25:47 GOD IS... YOU KNOW WE WERE TALKING ABOUT SEASONS...
  • 25:51 GOD RAISES UP PEOPLE FOR A SEASON...
  • 25:54 ITS JUST SOME PEOPLE HAVE A LITTLE LONGER SEASON THAN OTHERS.
  • 25:57 WE ARE SO EXCITED WITH YOU ALL.
  • 25:59 OH... WE'RE SO GLAD TO BE HERE
  • 26:01 AND WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING OUR ROLE WITH ZOLA'S MINISTRY
  • 26:05 TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE JEWISHNESS OF THE GOSPEL RESTORED
  • 26:08 AND ALSO TO SEE THE CHURCH RISE UP.
  • 26:11 INTERESTINGLY MY HEBREW NAME IS MORDECAI...
  • 26:14 WHOA...
  • 26:15 AND SO I HAVE A REAL COMMITMENT
  • 26:18 TO SEEING ESTHER RISE UP AND CONNECT WITH HER ROOTS,
  • 26:21 RECOGNIZE HER JEWISHNESS AND SHOUT IT FROM THE HOUSETOPS.
  • 26:23 BUT IT'S JUST A BLESSING TO KNOW THE BIBLE AND TO KNOW THAT WE'RE ALL CONNECTED.
  • 26:29 THAT IT'S NOT TWO DIFFERENT BOOKS IN THE BIBLE.
  • 26:31 THERE'S A NEW TESTAMENT, OLD TESTAMENT...
  • 26:33 ITS ONE TESTAMENT FOR ALL OF US.
  • 26:34 IT'S JUST A BLESSING.
  • 26:36 WELL I'M EXCITED...
  • 26:37 WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT LATER.
  • 26:39 YOU NEED TO STAY WITH US BECAUSE RUTH IS GOING TO BE A TEACHING...
  • 26:43 WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IN ABOUT FOUR WEEKS THE "PSALMS OF ASCENT"...
  • 26:46 I WAS SO BLESSED TO BE ASKED TO BE ON THAT...
  • 26:49 YOU'LL SEE JEFF IN THERE... WE'LL HAVE SOME MORE GREAT MUSIC... STAY WITH US...
  • 26:52 GOD BLESS YOU.
  • 26:54 AND SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM
  • 26:56 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM
