  • 04:24 [ music playing softly ]
  • 04:45 I GO TO PREPARE
  • 04:46 A PLACE FOR YOU.

  • 04:54 FROM THE MOMENT
  • 04:55 SHE DRANK THAT CUP,
  • 04:56 THE ADVENTURE
  • 04:57 IS JUST BEGINNING.
  • 04:58 NOW, LET'S GO BACK
  • 04:59 TO OUR PLAY.
  • 05:06 NOW THE BRIDE WAS TAKEN
  • 05:07 BY SURPRISE TO BE SURE.
  • 05:09 WHEN THE CHAMBER WOULD
  • 05:10 FINALLY BE READY,
  • 05:12 THE GROOM AND HIS BROTHERS
  • 05:13 AND HIS GROOMSMEN WOULD
  • 05:14 SNEAK OVER TO HER STREET,
  • 05:16 GET CLOSE TO THE HOUSE,
  • 05:18 MAKE SURE IT WAS DARK
  • 05:19 AND EVERYONE WAS ASLEEP.
  • 05:21 NOW, THERE WERE CERTAIN RULES.
  • 05:24 THE GROOM COULDN'T
  • 05:24 JUST RUSH IN AND GRAB HER
  • 05:26 OUT OF HER BED.
  • 05:27 THE GOD OF ISRAEL
  • 05:28 IS KINDER THAN THAT.
  • 05:29 WHEN THEY WOULD COME
  • 05:30 CLOSE ENOUGH TO HER HOUSE
  • 05:31 TO BE HEARD,
  • 05:32 SOMEONE IN THE WEDDING PARTY
  • 05:34 WOULD HAVE TO SHOUT.
  • 05:35 WHEN SHE HEARD THAT SHOUT,
  • 05:37 SHE KNEW HE'D BE THERE
  • 05:38 IN A MOMENT.
  • 05:39 SHE HAD TIME ONLY TO
  • 05:40 LIGHT HER LAMP
  • 05:41 AND GET HER VEIL ON
  • 05:42 AND HER SISTERS
  • 05:43 AND BRIDESMAIDS
  • 05:44 WOULD LIGHT THEIR LAMPS
  • 05:45 AND JOIN HER
  • 05:46 AND THEY'D MEET THE MEN
  • 05:47 AND GO THROUGH THE VILLAGE.
  • 05:49 AND THE PEOPLE OF THE VILLAGE
  • 05:50 COULD KNOW THERE WAS
  • 05:51 A WEDDING BECAUSE THEY
  • 05:52 HEARD THE YOUNG PEOPLE
  • 05:53 LAUGHING AT MIDNIGHT
  • 05:55 AND GOING BY
  • 05:55 WITH THE OIL LAMPS.
  • 05:57 NOW, BACK IN OUR PLAY
  • 05:59 OVER AT THE BRIDEGROOM'S
  • 06:00 FATHER'S HOUSE,
  • 06:00 THINGS WERE PROGRESSING.
  • 06:02 IF THIS YOUNG MAN HAD NEVER
  • 06:03 BUILT ANYTHING ELSE
  • 06:04 IN HIS LIFE,
  • 06:05 HE WAS GOING TO
  • 06:05 GET THIS CHAMBER READY.
  • 06:07 AND IT WAS A PROJECT.
  • 06:08 IT HAD TO BE WELL BUILT.
  • 06:09 THE HONEYMOON WAS
  • 06:10 SEVEN DAYS LONG,
  • 06:12 JUST AS THE BELIEVERS
  • 06:12 WILL BE SEVEN YEARS IN HEAVEN
  • 06:14 WITH THEIR BRIDEGROOM.
  • 06:16 BUT THE BRIDE HAD NO IDEA
  • 06:17 WHEN HE WOULD COME.
  • 06:19 THAT ONLY DEPENDED ON
  • 06:20 HOW GOOD A BUILDER HE WAS.
  • 06:22 MARY MUST HAVE BEEN GLAD
  • 06:23 TO HAVE A CONTRACT
  • 06:24 FROM JOSEPH.
  • 06:25 AFTER ALL, A CARPENTER
  • 06:26 SHOULD KNOW HOW
  • 06:28 TO PUT UP A BRIDAL CHAMBER.
  • 06:29 NOW, HIS FATHER WAS
  • 06:30 THE JUDGE ON WHEN
  • 06:31 THE THING WAS REALLY DONE.
  • 06:33 YOU CAN SEE THE LOGIC THERE.
  • 06:34 IF IT WERE UP
  • 06:35 TO THE YOUNG MAN,
  • 06:36 HE'D THROW UP SOME KIND
  • 06:37 OF SIMPLE SHELTER
  • 06:38 AND JUST GO
  • 06:39 AND GET THE GIRL.
  • 06:40 BUT HIS FATHER WOULD
  • 06:41 INSPECT IT FROM TIME TO TIME
  • 06:42 TO SEE WHEN IT
  • 06:43 WAS REALLY READY.

  • 06:47 JUST ANY ANYPLACE.
  • 06:49 AND THEREFORE,
  • 06:50 THE FATHER OF THE BRIDEGROOM
  • 06:51 CHOSE THE WEDDING DAY.
  • 06:53 WELL, IT WAS A LONG JOB
  • 06:56 AND GOOD WORK.
  • 06:57 IT WOULD TEACH DAVID
  • 06:58 PATIENCE AND DILIGENCE
  • 07:00 THAT WOULD GIVE HIM
  • 07:01 A USEFUL SKILL.
  • 07:02 AND MOST OF ALL,
  • 07:03 IT WOULD KEEP HIS MIND

  • 24:37 Martha: DVORAH,
  • 24:38 WE SHOULD NOT HAVE COME.
  • 25:02 WELL, MOST PEOPLE
  • 25:02 HAVE NEVER SEEN
  • 25:03 A HEBREW CHRISTIAN SERVICE
  • 25:05 ALTHOUGH THEY GO ON
  • 25:06 ALL THE TIME, ALWAYS HAVE.
  • 25:08 BUT WE TRIED TO PICTURE
  • 25:09 THE ORIGINAL.
  • 25:10 YOU KNOW,
  • 25:11 THOSE SERVICES WERE
  • 25:12 DIFFERENT IN ANCIENT ISRAEL.
  • 25:13 THOSE WERE THE ONLY
  • 25:14 TIME IN HISTORY
  • 25:16 THAT PEOPLE COULD COME IN
  • 25:17 AND GIVE AN EYEWITNESS
  • 25:18 TESTIMONY OF THE MESSIAH.
  • 25:20 PEOPLE WERE IN
  • 25:21 THE CONGREGATION
  • 25:22 WHO HAD ACTUALLY
  • 25:23 MET THE MESSIAH
  • 25:24 AND HEARD HIS TEACHINGS.
  • 25:25 YOU KNOW,
  • 25:26 WE SPEND TIME WHEN WE WORSHIP
  • 25:27 TALKING ABOUT WHAT
  • 25:28 THE LORD MEANT
  • 25:28 BY WHAT HE SAID.
  • 25:29 HOW VALUABLE IT WOULD BE
  • 25:30 TO HAVE SOMEONE THERE
  • 25:31 WHO ACTUALLY HEARD
  • 25:32 WHAT HE SAID
  • 25:34 AND HAD A PERSONAL
  • 25:34 IMPRESSION OF HIM.
  • 25:36 WELL, IN ISRAEL TODAY,
  • 25:37 OF COURSE,
  • 25:38 THE BELIEVERS ARE
  • 25:39 STILL MEETING.
  • 25:40 WE'VE TELEVISED THAT BEFORE.
  • 25:42 THEY TEND TO MEET
  • 25:43 IN OUT-OF-THE-WAY PLACES.
  • 25:44 FOR OBVIOUS REASONS
  • 25:46 THEY'RE NOT THE MOST POPULAR
  • 25:47 PEOPLE IN SOME TOWNS.
  • 25:49 BUT IT'S A DEMOCRACY.
  • 25:50 IT'S A FREE COUNTRY.
  • 25:52 AND THERE'S MORE RELIGION
  • 25:53 GOING ON IN ISRAEL,
  • 25:54 I GUESS, THAN ANY OTHER
  • 25:55 COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
  • 25:57 AND SO THE SERVICES
  • 25:58 GO ON PRETTY MUCH
  • 25:59 AS YOU SAW THEM.
  • 26:00 AND MY EXPERIENCE IN ISRAEL
  • 26:02 WAS THAT THE EMPHASIS
  • 26:03 IN SERVICES WAS ON TESTIMONIES
  • 26:05 AND SINGING
  • 26:06 AND QUITE A BIT OF
  • 26:07 GOOD VERSE-BY-VERSE
  • 26:08 BIBLE TEACHING
  • 26:09 WHICH IS, OF COURSE,
  • 26:10 A JEWISH TRADITION.
  • 26:12 AND THEY ARE STILL
  • 26:13 SINGING ABOUT ISRAEL.
  • 26:14 YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT,
  • 26:16 ESPECIALLY HAVING BEEN
  • 26:17 RESTORED TO THE LAND.
  • 26:19 YOU KNOW,
  • 26:20 AS I TRAVEL IN THE CHURCHES,
  • 26:21 I'M THRILLED TO SEE
  • 26:22 THE CHURCHES SINGING
  • 26:23 ISRAELI SONGS, TOO,
  • 26:25 THESE DAYS, AND I THINK
  • 26:26 THAT'S JUST PREPARATION FOR
  • 26:27 THE KINGDOM TO COME.
  • 26:28 WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO THE LAND,
  • 26:29 SO WE'RE LEARNING THE MUSIC
  • 26:31 OF THE LAND.
  • 26:32 WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE,
  • 26:33 WE'LL BE AMERICANS
  • 26:34 FOR OUR THREESCORE
  • 26:35 AND TEN OR WHATEVER
  • 26:36 WE HAVE HERE
  • 26:38 AND THE ISRAELIS
  • 26:39 FOR A THOUSAND YEARS,
  • 26:40 IF I UNDERSTAND THE DIRECTIONS
  • 26:41 OF THE KINGDOM OF THE BIBLE.
  • 26:43 WELL, THE SONGS OF THE MUSICAL
  • 26:44 ARE ON OUR NEW ALBUM,
  • 26:46 "BELOVED THIEF."
