01:03 Shalom, and welcome to our program. I'm Myles Weiss
01:05 and I'm Katharine Weiss.
01:06 Welcome back to our series in Jerusalem
01:09 Ancient Gates and Future Glory.
01:12 This is really exciting.
01:14 We get to bring the gates of Jerusalem to you.
01:16 Last week we looked at the Dung Gate,
01:18 the one that enters into the Western Wall.
01:20 This week the Zion Gate.
01:21 The Zion Gate...it's such an important gate.
01:24 It's where the Israeli IDF went in and took back
01:28 the holiest place to the Jewish people, the Western Wall.
01:32 They entered in through the Zion Gate.
01:35 So on the outside of the Zion Gate
01:37 you will literally see bullet holes left there
01:39 to remind them of the bitterness of the loss,
01:44 but of the victory at the same time.
01:46 And on one side you'll see a Mezuzah,
01:48 which is God's signpost to us.
01:51 And it's His command for us to put this Mezuzah on our door and on our gates
01:56 to remind us to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, soul and might
02:00 and to teach our children the way when we rise up and when we sit down.
02:04 That's well said.
02:05 And we enjoy doing that with our children.
02:06 Absolutely.
02:08 They're grown men now, but still it's always important to pass on
02:10 the legacy of what God is building in your family and through your family.
02:14 Yes.
02:16 Well our guests today, we have Shimon Gibson the archaeologist.
02:18 His book, "The Final Days of Jesus; the Archaeological Evidence"
02:22 verifies through the dirt, through the rocks,
02:25 through the science of it that in fact the Word is true.
02:28 We knew that.
02:30 And David Parsons from the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem.
02:33 The great spokesman, the media director for the international work
02:36 and just a real heart for Israel and for the church at large.
02:41 And special music by Marty Goetz, Psalmist,
02:44 Messianic leader, musician and a good friend of our ministry.
02:48 So without any further ado,
02:50 let's go to the Zion Gate and see what we can learn.
02:52 We'll see you there.
03:04 We're here in Jerusalem.
03:06 Behind me is the Mt of Olives.
03:08 To my right, the Zion Gate
03:11 Psalm 87 verse 2 tells us,
03:14 [speaking Hebrew]
03:18 The Lord loves the gates of Zion.
03:21 How much more so right here at the Zion Gate.
03:24 And you can see behind me that this gate was won by a hard fought battle
03:29 Absolutely, Jerusalem was known as Zion When David took this City
03:34 and also when the Israelites took back the City in 1967.
03:39 The Israelites came and took back the City of our LORD through this Gate.
03:43 And behind me you can see bullet holes.
03:48 The bullet holes remind us
03:49 that there's always a battle over Zion, which means "signpost"
03:53 and there's always a battle for the Word of God and the truth of the Word.
03:57 Not only is Jerusalem the desire of all nations
04:00 you can see that there's conflict in this nation.
04:03 God says that we're not to hold our peace;
04:07 give Him rest till He makes Jerusalem...Zion a praise in the all the world.
04:13 Right now those two things aren't matching,
04:17 but that is why God has called us as "watchmen on the wall"
04:20 to stand and to make up that hedge and to pray for His will to be done in this earth.
04:26 Katharine's referring to Isaiah 62
04:28 which calls us to be watchmen on the wall
04:31 and we really need to be that way.
04:32 The Zionist movement began in 1891 back in Europe in Austria
04:36 when Nathan Birnbaum wrote a story about it in the news
04:40 and then Herzl picked it up in 1895 and wrote "Der Judenstaat"
04:44 calling for a Jewish homeland.
04:46 And well, we've had a homeland.
04:47 We've been here forever.
04:49 In fact, when David named this "Zion" it was 3,000 years ago.
04:53 We've been here that long.
04:55 Myles, I'd like to just read that scripture.
04:57 It's Isaiah 22:6 and it says,
05:01 I've set watchmen on thy walls, O Jerusalem
05:04 which shall never hold their peace day or night.
05:07 They shall make mention of the LORD
05:09 and be not silent.
05:11 And that's what we need to do as God's watchmen on the wall
05:15 is to not hold our peace
05:17 but to stand with the people, the land and the plan that He has for this nation.
05:24 Right now within this Gate there are people who are praying
05:27 for the "one new man" to arise in Israel
05:30 for Jew and Gentile
05:31 for Jews and Arabs
05:32 to worship the LORD together.
05:34 And that is being contested.
05:35 But the Zion Gate speaks to us about the future also of Israel
05:39 because God is calling us to be here with Him.
05:43 He's going to touch down near here on the Mount of Olives.
05:46 He's going to come through the Eastern Gate
05:47 and we're going to see Him.
05:49 He's going to rule and reign from Zion for 1,000 years.
05:52 And we're looking forward to that day.

06:53 Visit us online at levitt.com
06:56 Or write to us at ZOLA Box 12268, Dallas, TX 75225
07:04 We depend on your financial sustenance.
07:08 Thank you
07:11 We're coming through the Zion Gate
07:13 You can see life is teaming everywhere in this area,
07:15 cars are coming through.
07:17 This is a living city.
07:19 And it's appropriate that the Zion Gate leads to the Jewish Quarter,
07:22 also to the Armenian Quarter,
07:24 two of the four Quarters of the Old City.
07:26 Zion Gate...Zion
07:29 That word is so maligned in our day.
07:31 It's hard to believe that it still has the meaning that David meant it to have.
07:36 The Arabs have contested whether there has ever been a Jewish presence here.
07:40 And in a fit of humor that only God could provide
07:42 they actually called this gate "Bab an-Nabi Daud"
07:45 the "Gate of David the Prophet".
07:48 So they were acknowledging that David, King David, Yeshua's great, great...grandfather
07:53 was here in this place.
07:55 in fact he built this city 3,000 years ago and it still stands.
08:00 We need to be praying for the people that live inside this gate.
08:04 We need to be praying for the Jewish people in the Jewish Quarter.
08:07 We need to be praying for the religious.
08:10 We need to be praying for the believers in this land as well.
08:13 We need to call on the LORD for wisdom.
08:15 And that's what's needed in this hour.
08:17 There's a great push back against the Zionist movement.
08:21 In fact that word has become so negative
08:24 on college campuses in America for example
08:26 and around the world.
08:28 But its always been in the heart of God to lift up Zion,
08:31 to bless Zion.
08:33 The word "Zion" means "signpost"
08:35 and this place, this city, this Jewish restored homeland
08:40 is a signpost that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who is Israel
08:45 is alive and well and that His Word will stand forever.
08:50 And that's really what's contested here.
08:52 The contest is between the Word of God and the rest of the world
08:56 In fact the Word is elevated here in the very existence of Zion.
09:01 We also need to be praying about the church
09:03 that believers around the world
09:05 would come through the replacement theology that has overtaken it
09:09 that says that there is no place for Israel
09:11 there is no reality to ethnic Israel
09:14 and that the church has replaced it
09:17 when in fact Israel is called
09:19 and the gifts and callings are without repentance.
09:22 In fact God has never "uncalled" Israel.
09:25 And that what is seen here.
09:28 In the Zion Gate we see the reality of the restoration of Israel
09:31 the restoration of the Jewish people
09:33 and the calling of the Jewish people back to our homeland
09:36 where God promises that He will sprinkle clean water on us.
09:41 And we're seeing that happen with the first fruits of Zion
09:44 the Messianic movement.
09:46 We're seeing that as believers are rising throughout this Land.
09:49 20 years ago every believer knew everyone else in this Land.
09:53 And now they estimate that there are about 15,000.
09:57 Let's pray that the Body of Messiah continues to grow in Zion.
10:08 The Zion Gate really speaks about the return to Zion,
10:11 the going up to Zion,
10:13 the re-establishment of the Israel State of Zion in our modern era doesn't it?
10:18 Yes, you know the scripture talks about that blessed are you
10:21 whose feet have made...
10:23 are set to make pilgrimage and to go within the gates.
10:28 In Lamentations 1:4
10:32 it talks about that literally the road was in mourning because the gates were closed
10:36 and the people could not go up to keep the feasts or the festivals.
10:40 But that is not the day in which we're in now.
10:43 We're in the time of the fulfillment of Bible prophecy
10:47 when they are flowing up to Mount Zion, the City of our God.
10:52 Yes, in fact the nations are joining in.
10:55 The Jewish people are coming up to keep the feasts as always.
10:58 But now the nations are joining in
11:00 and it's a pre-cursor for the future and the millennial kingdom
11:03 when at the time of Tabernacles, Sukkot
11:06 That the entire world will come up to keep the feasts with the Jewish people.
11:10 It's no wonder that Deuteronomy 6:9 tells us
11:13 (speaking Hebrew)
11:17 Write them on the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.
11:21 It's a physical writing but it's a spiritual writing as well.
11:24 We are to keep this Word in us.
11:26 And I like it how that you post it by your eyes
11:30 so its a visual reminder of God
11:33 and His call on us to love Him
11:35 and to love Him with all of our heart.
11:37 And then to pass that on to our children which we love to do.
11:40 Well let's go to Jerusalem now.
11:42 We're going to hear from Shimon Gibson and he's going to speak to us about the Zion Gate.
11:49 The Zion Gate is located on the traditional Mount Zion on the southern side of the Old City.
11:55 And the gate itself dates from the time of Suleiman the Magnificent mid 16th century.
12:01 It's built under the remains of a medieval tower
12:04 a...apparently from the beginning of the 13th century.
12:08 Archaeological excavations revealed part of that original gate.
12:12 There are perhaps earlier gates there
12:14 but none have been excavated to date.
12:18 The gate itself led out of the Old City to the area of the summit of Mount Zion
12:25 on which there are a number of places connected to scripture.
12:29 One of them is the place of the tomb of King David.
12:33 The other is the traditional place of the Last Supper.
12:38 These are located at the Summit.
12:41 I'm actually standing here within an archaeological excavation just below Zion Gate.
12:47 And in this area according to tradition you had the house of Caiaphas, the High Priest
12:55 Who saw Jesus and deliberated about what to do about Him
13:00 prior to Him being taken to the Critorium
13:03 for a trial in front of the Roman Governor, Pontius Pilot.
13:08 Now these excavations have revealed palatial buildings dating from the 1st century.
13:15 The people who lived here were apparently priestly families
13:19 who are associated with some of these well known priests of that period and time.
13:26 And archaeological excavations have revealed some amazing finds dating back to that time.
13:34 (Myles speaking)
13:36 Tourists love to pass through the gates of this remarkable Old City.
13:40 It's like walking through a time tunnel back to the period of Biblical prophets and kings.
13:45 We talked to one of the tour guides, Tamar,
13:47 whose family has lived in this area for 10 generations.
13:53 Tamar thank you for being with us.
13:55 I know that you are an expert on the gates.
13:56 Could you say something about the importance of the discovery of these gates
14:00 relative to the Aliyah and people coming back to Israel?
14:03 Well its a gate.
14:05 Let's start with that.
14:06 The fact that this is an entrance to the Old City
14:09 in a way it gives a feeling of an entrance, a new life .
14:14 And that's something that I always feel when I come to the Old City.
14:17 I always ask myself which gate am I going to choose?
14:21 And that reminds me of my grandfather Yitzhak
14:24 who used to say that whenever you entered the Old City
14:27 always make sure that your first step is taken with your right foot.
14:32 Wow
14:33 And I think it symbolizes the Aliyah, immigration,
14:36 Jews coming to the land of Israel opening a new life starting with the right foot.
14:42 And it also explains the mezuzah on the inside of the right hand of the gate.
14:45 That tells you where the exit and the entrance is exactly
14:48 so you know where to take the...
14:50 Someone told me that the 3 valleys draw a picture of a Shin throughout Jerusalem,
14:55 that Jerusalem is the mezuzah of the LORD.
14:57 That's true.
14:59 The Shin is the letter that starts the word "Shaddai"
15:03 which is one of the Names of God.
15:05 I think that it emphasizes the fact that He guards us and takes care of us.
15:10 So when you have been studying the gates
15:12 is there something that struck you the first time,
15:14 an early impression,
15:16 or what captivated you about this?
15:18 Hmmm...first of all the differences.
15:20 I mean at first site they look all the same
15:21 but when you get into little details you are like, hey,
15:24 Jaffa Gate goes that way
15:26 but then Zion Gate goes to the other
15:28 not speaking of Damascus Gate which goes both ways.
15:31 and there is New Gate and the Dung Gate which you can go straight into the City.
15:37 So the names are different
15:40 you can't even think of paralleling the Lion's Gate to the Dung Gate, right?
15:46 There's something very unique in each one of them.
15:49 Thank you very much.

17:06 You know we meet so many amazing people as we travel the Land,
17:10 as we lead tours and do these interviews
17:13 but one of my favorite interviews is always with David Parsons
17:17 the Executive Media Director for the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem.
17:22 David has a heart for Israel and for the Zionist movement
17:26 the best of the Zionist movement
17:28 that just comes alive when he speaks
17:30 and so I've been moved to tears moments when we've had time with him before.
17:35 Let's go to my interview with David Parsons right now.
17:39 David thank you for being with us.
17:41 We've been teaching on the Zion Gate...all the gates
17:43 but just coming through the Zion Gate
17:45 one cannot help but think about Sha'ar Zion The Gates of Zion
17:49 and the modern Zionist movement.
17:52 Tell us a little bit about the work here
17:54 and what your view is of the growth in the Zionist movement.
17:58 Well the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem
18:01 is the ongoing legacy movement among evangelical Christians for centuries now.
18:08 The Christian Zionist movement pre-dates the Jewish political Zionist Movement
18:13 that's about 110 years old now.
18:16 Pre-dates by even several centuries
18:18 Christians who openly preached
18:21 and promoted the return of the Jews back to the Land.
18:24 All the Zionist leaders like Herzl, Rothchild, trying to bring Jews back here.
18:29 They all had Christian leaders who befriended them.
18:32 You had others who helped establish the Land.
18:36 Christians helped them learn how to farm again,
18:38 how to fight and defend themselves again, like Windgate or Patterson.
18:42 And then you had rescuers of Jews;
18:45 Christians who helped rescue them; helped them to come here.
18:49 And in modern times ministries like the Christian Embassy has been...
18:52 we've been helping with the actual physical return of Jews back to the Land
18:56 what's called "Aliyah".
18:58 And our ministry itself has helped over 115,000 Jews
19:02 come back from the former Soviet Union
19:04 now Jews from the West
19:06 from Ethiopia
19:08 and most recently the Bnei Menasha from India.
19:11 And this is quite a legacy.
19:15 But the prophets like Isaiah promise that when God would set His hand a second time
19:20 to bring the Jews back from all the lands where He had scattered them
19:25 that there would be Gentiles involved.
19:27 So even the Jewish people recognize these are the Gentiles that He would beckon to
19:32 to carry us on their arms
19:33 and be foster fathers and nursing mothers to them in the return.
19:39 David, speaking of the modern Zionist movement, the Christian Zionist movement
19:42 you've been here for 17 years this round.
19:45 I think you've seen this go from a trickle and maybe a fringe movement
19:51 to a mainstream movement which is now a flood.
19:57 I think denominations are being weighed in the balances at this point.
20:00 Yes, the Christian Embassy has been here since 1980.
20:03 I've been coming to Israel since 1982
20:06 and so over the past 3 or 4 decades I think we've seen Christian interest in Israel
20:13 grow from what could have been considered a fringe movement.
20:18 People on the edge of the evangelical movement too were interested in Israel,
20:22 interested in Hebraic roots, the Jewishness of Jesus,
20:25 Davidic worship, Hebraic worship.
20:28 Some people might have looked on it one or two generations ago and questioned it.
20:35 But now its really moved to mainstream.
20:38 There's hardly a prominent Christian ministry out there whether it's large or small
20:43 that doesn't have to include Israel as part of its ministry.
20:47 And it's either because it's already in the heart of the minister itself
20:52 or the people are demanding it.
20:55 You know people want the richness of the fatness of the root as Paul calls it.
21:01 And to understand not only the truths we can get from understanding the culture
21:07 the Jewish culture of Jesus or such but also the prophetic implications for our day.
21:12 Right, we are moving from sentiment and the accoutrement,
21:17 we're moving into a substantive view of this connection
21:20 and it seems to have something to do with the coming of the LORD, doesn't it?
21:23 I think so and I think that what we're witnessing
21:26 God is providing and building
21:29 a 24/7 worldwide global prayer support network for this nation for what's ahead.
21:36 That alone is very important
21:38 but also visiting the country
21:40 supporting Aliyah,
21:42 supporting projects here
21:43 so much we can be doing in our day to play our role in these end times.
21:46 Well thank you... thank you very much David.

23:23 That was Marty Goetz, Psalmist, Messianic musician
23:26 with another beautiful song about the place that we love so much.
23:30 There's nothing like singing the scripture
23:32 and letting it just come all the way in to your spirit.
23:34 Music is a spirit.
23:36 It comes and it either brings us up, brings us across, or brings us down.
23:39 And that music was very elevating.
23:41 Speaking of elevation
23:43 I was thinking about the verse that you were looking at before
23:45 that this whole idea of the City of David and Mount Zion
23:48 and the Zion Gate that leads in to it
23:51 Right Myles, you know I love this scripture
23:54 and Psalms 48 it says,
23:56 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised
23:59 in the city of our God, in the mountain of His holiness.
24:04 And it talks about that this City is the joy of the whole earth.
24:09 Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north the City of the Great King?
24:15 Yes, Mount Zion associated with the great king, King David
24:19 and the Great King to come David's greater Son, Yeshua.
24:22 You know what's amazing to me
24:24 is that we've come into today in this program through the Zion Gate
24:27 and learned about Shah'ar Zion, the Zion Gate
24:30 There's all this contention about the word Zionism
24:33 Right
24:34 It's been so co-opted and so changed when it's this
24:37 beautiful thing on the heart of God to restore the Jewish people
24:41 to elevate the whole neighborhood if everyone
24:43 would realize what God is doing there.
24:45 But think about this, even in Arabic, the Arabs call this area
24:49 Bab a Naveed Daud, the Gate of the Prophet David.
24:54 So on one hand contesting that the Jewish people have ever been there...
24:58 There was no Holocaust. There was no Jewish presence.
25:01 There was no temple. There have never been any Jews there.
25:03 A lie.
25:05 On the other hand calling this gate the Gate of the Prophet David.
25:08 Right.
25:09 Understanding.
25:10 Well Zion, it speaks of a people, a place and a promise.
25:14 Yes, yes. That's good.
25:16 Yeah
25:17 It does. It's Sion in modern Hebrew it's Sion - Zion.
25:20 Sion means signpost.
25:22 Right
25:23 And that's what this is. And this gate leads us into this incredible area
25:26 and the story of God's restoration, which is really
25:29 what this is all about. God is restoring the Jewish people
25:32 to their land. He's restoring the Jewish people to our Messiah.
25:36 Right
25:37 He's offering an opening to the entire world to come in and celebrate His goodness
25:42 together with Israel.
25:44 Isn't it just like our God to leave these signposts in the earth
25:47 Yes
25:48 That I Am that I Am and no one can just take Him away.
25:52 They can't just say... They can't just wipe out 3,000 years of history.
25:55 Exactly, that's good.
25:57 David was actually... He made Jerusalem Zion.
26:00 He made it the capital of Israel 3,000 years ago.
26:04 Right
26:05 Exactly
26:06 Jerusalem is the most holy of holy places in the whole world.
26:11 It is the place where the bible is alive.
26:14 It is a place where the bible talks about.
26:16 And it's where Jesus was from. Where He did His ministry
26:18 and where He will return again.
26:19 Yes
26:20 And no wonder it's contested.
26:21 Yes
26:22 No wonder the enemy does not like the word Zion
26:25 Right
26:26 or the Jewish people for that matter.
26:28 That's another reason why I'm so grateful for people like
26:30 David Parsons and some of the other Christian Zionists that we meet that are so dedicated.
26:34 They understand. They love the Arab people.
26:37 They invite the Arab peoples in, but they understand that God has
26:40 built this, created it, and gifted it, and now is making
26:44 an invitation if only the world would respond.
26:47 And I want to thank you for your gifts of funds that let us stay on the air
26:51 and keep these messages coming to you about the importance of
26:55 Zion and about the importance of biblical, prophetic history.
26:59 Absolutely so.
27:01 For over 30 years you've been hearing on this program
27:04 this final phrase. We say it every time from Psalm 122 verse 6
27:08 And 30 years ago, over 30 years ago Zola started saying it.
27:12 We believe in it as well. We want you to remember...
27:15 Sha'alu Shalom Yerushalayim
27:18 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
