Caption transcript for “2017—The Year in Ahead”

  • 00:18 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel
  • 00:22 is that they might be saved,
  • 00:25 for there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek
  • 00:28 for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.
  • 00:43 Welcome to Israel!
  • 00:45 We love bringing you
  • 00:47 these programs from ZLM.
  • 00:49 For over 30 years we've been
  • 00:51 documenting the miracle of Israel.
  • 00:53 Israel moves forward through prayer
  • 00:56 and we thank you for
  • 00:58 your prayers for this ministry
  • 01:00 and your support
  • 01:01 because we know that without that
  • 01:03 we couldn't continue on.
  • 01:04 Yeah, we've really been
  • 01:05 enjoying taking up the mantle that Zola began
  • 01:08 and going forward with these messages
  • 01:10 about the prophetic timing of the Lord
  • 01:12 regarding the restoration of Israel.
  • 01:15 We come to you directly from Israel.
  • 01:17 We try to bring you programs that are
  • 01:19 encouraging, that are enlightening,
  • 01:21 that build up your faith or bring you to faith.
  • 01:24 One of the greatest pictures of Yeshua
  • 01:26 is the story of Joseph the Patriarch.
  • 01:28 In fact, our series, "Joseph, Dreamer -Redeemer"
  • 01:31 was so popular we're going to
  • 01:33 show it to you again in 2017.
  • 01:35 And we want to give you some highlights from
  • 01:37 that program right now.
  • 02:04 From the pit to the palace,
  • 02:07 From certain death to abundant life,
  • 02:11 Joseph, the Patriarch
  • 02:13 who pictures Messiah.
  • 02:17 Zola Levitt Presents,
  • 02:19 "Joseph, Dreamer - Redeemer"
  • 03:11 Myles - Stripped of his robe
  • 03:13 Joseph laid at the bottom of an empty water cistern
  • 03:16 beaten and bruised .
  • 03:18 Katharine and I descended the steps of a similar cistern
  • 03:20 in Jerusalem, where we experienced first hand
  • 03:23 the loneliness of a pit well below ground level.
  • 03:29 We're here in the traditional spot
  • 03:31 of where Jesus was kept the night he was betrayed,
  • 03:34 the night before He went to the cross.
  • 03:36 We're in the pit Myles.
  • 03:37 Yeah, just as Joseph was in the pit,
  • 03:40 a picture of the bigger pit to come
  • 03:42 which was the death of Yeshua on the cross.
  • 04:40 There's so many parallels with the life of Yeshua.
  • 04:43 It's amazing.
  • 04:44 That's why we wanted to bring you this story
  • 04:46 Joseph's story speaks of the suffering
  • 04:49 and then the exaltation.
  • 04:51 Yeshua's story is one of suffering and exaltation.
  • 04:53 He comes as the Suffering Servant.
  • 04:55 He returns as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
  • 04:58 Even the parallel in the bride that is given to Joseph.
  • 05:01 Joseph is given an Egyptian bride.
  • 05:03 What a picture of the international church,
  • 05:06 every tongue and every tribe,
  • 05:08 people from every nation are being
  • 05:10 called out in this Church age
  • 05:13 and being knit to the Jewish Bridegroom of Heaven.
  • 05:16 What a story!
  • 05:17 And now at the end of the age
  • 05:19 God has his eye back on his own brethren,
  • 05:21 his own Jewish people, the natural seed of Abraham.
  • 05:24 And we are recognizing Yeshua in greater numbers
  • 05:27 than any time since the book of Acts.
  • 06:09 Those were some scenes from our
  • 06:11 series "Joseph, Dreamer - Redeemer"
  • 06:13 What a terrific picture of Jesus.
  • 06:15 Amen, Joseph is such a picture
  • 06:17 of how we need to operate in this world.
  • 06:20 Be ready to forgive.
  • 06:21 Know that people maybe have heard us
  • 06:24 that God wants us to stand in a place of forgiveness.
  • 06:27 And I think so often of the Jewish people
  • 06:30 that do that very thing Myles.
  • 06:31 They have to continue to posture their self for reconciliation.
  • 06:35 It's our joy to bring you these programs
  • 06:38 from the Land and the Temple Mount behind us.
  • 06:41 And we're here showing you the
  • 06:43 goodness of God in the land of the living.
  • 06:46 Yeah, it's really a story of restoration.
  • 06:48 Even the actors we get to use when we do the dramas
  • 06:51 Jews and Arabs together acting
  • 06:53 out the stories from the Bible.
  • 06:54 It's such a picture of God's desire for reconciliation.
  • 06:57 Well, we have had some great feed back
  • 07:00 about the "Days of Remembrance",
  • 07:02 our series that focuses on the Feasts of the Lord.
  • 07:04 In fact, you met someone yesterday.
  • 07:06 Yeah, I met somebody just yesterday
  • 07:07 who told me that they so impacted her heart
  • 07:09 that she actually made plans to come here.
  • 07:12 And then when she was here in the Land,
  • 07:14 which the Land can only do,
  • 07:15 which is to cause something to be reborn in you
  • 07:18 which is a desire to return to the
  • 07:20 Land that God has promised.
  • 07:22 WOW - so let's go to some scenes from
  • 07:24 "Days of Remembrance"
  • 07:33 Passover has been called the crown jewel of the Feasts.
  • 07:35 It's the first of the Feasts
  • 07:37 and it comes in the spring.
  • 07:39 In fact, in Leviticus 23
  • 07:41 we're mandated on the first month
  • 07:43 and the fourteenth day
  • 07:45 to keep the Feast of Passover.
  • 07:47 Why?
  • 07:48 Because the most important thing
  • 07:50 that has happened in the history of man
  • 07:52 has been the shed blood of the Lamb.
  • 07:54 And Passover is the picture,
  • 07:56 the story of redemption that comes
  • 07:58 due to the shed blood of Yeshua, HaMashiach .
  • 08:02 All of these foods have
  • 08:03 a symbolic meaning as well.
  • 08:05 You see the Feast we're about to partake of.
  • 08:07 But these particular symbolic foods we have
  • 08:10 the burnt sacrifice of the Lamb
  • 08:12 pictured in that bone.
  • 08:14 We have the bitter herb, the Maror.
  • 08:16 We have the Kharoset
  • 08:17 Which is a picture of the work and the
  • 08:21 labor of being in the land of Egypt
  • 08:24 and the deliverance that God brought from
  • 08:25 the building of the bricks and
  • 08:27 the making of the pyramids
  • 08:28 and the other structures.
  • 08:29 We have the Karpas , the fresh new life
  • 08:32 of being delivered out of Egypt,
  • 08:34 out of the bondage of slavery.
  • 08:36 And then some time in the middle ages
  • 08:38 we believe they added a roasted egg
  • 08:40 which some people say
  • 08:41 that looks back to the burnt Temple
  • 08:44 and the mourning for us to be back
  • 08:46 in Y erushalayim and back in the Temple.
  • 08:52 You're familiar with the word "Pentecost"
  • 08:54 but the Hebrew "Shavuot" speaks
  • 08:56 of the Feast of Weeks.
  • 08:58 It's 50 days after Passover
  • 09:00 and it takes place 7 weeks and 1 day.
  • 09:03 It's the day after the Shabbat, the 49th day.
  • 09:06 So 50 days, Feast of Weeks.
  • 09:09 And it's one of the three major Feast periods.
  • 09:17 Sinai, when the Word was received
  • 09:19 50 days after the leaving of Egypt
  • 09:24 the Jewish people come to the foot of Mount Sinai.
  • 09:27 And just as they gathered in Mount Zion
  • 09:30 in the book of Acts
  • 09:33 There is this, in Sinai,
  • 09:35 the Word is given amidst thunder and lightning and this
  • 09:39 manifest presence of God Almighty
  • 09:43 thundering and shaking and just overwhelming
  • 09:46 the people gathered at the foot of the mountain.
  • 09:49 Well, similarly as Yeshua promised
  • 09:52 when the believers gathered on Mount Zion
  • 09:56 there was Spirit came to them
  • 10:00 with tongues of fire.
  • 10:01 There was a mighty rushing wind.
  • 10:02 There was the same kind of power,
  • 10:05 authority of God manifest presence of the Lord
  • 10:07 came to the believers and birthed this
  • 10:10 new thing that God was doing in the earth.
  • 10:18 Rosh Hashannah / Yom Teruah is full
  • 10:21 of the blowing of the Shofar.
  • 10:23 And they're announcing the
  • 10:25 appointment we have with God.
  • 10:27 It's a time of repentance.
  • 10:28 It's a time of remembrance.
  • 10:30 In fact, Genesis 22,
  • 10:32 the binding of Isaac the Akedah
  • 10:35 is the signature verse and the signature passage
  • 10:38 that is spoken of during this season.
  • 10:41 On this holiday, on this Feast day
  • 10:42 we speak about the binding of Isaac. Why?
  • 10:45 Because Isaac pictures the promised son to come.
  • 10:48 The 40 years prior to the
  • 10:50 destruction of the Temple
  • 10:51 which was in 70 A.D. that God rejected
  • 10:54 the Yom Kippur sacrifices every year.
  • 10:57 So for 40 years the Jewish people were not forgiven.
  • 11:00 And there were 4 different signs.
  • 11:02 We don't have time to go into each sign
  • 11:04 but these signs would tell them
  • 11:05 whether or not God forgave the people.
  • 11:08 And those 40 years God did not.
  • 11:10 Now you have to ask yourself,
  • 11:12 What happened 40 years before 70 A.D.?
  • 11:15 Yeshua died as the ultimate once for
  • 11:18 all sin and for all time sacrificed.
  • 11:21 He died, gave His life as the ultimate Yom Kippur sacrifice.
  • 11:25 Incredible.

  • 12:17 You know, the Feasts of the Lord
  • 12:19 are not just for the Jewish people.
  • 12:21 They are for us as Gentiles
  • 12:23 to learn of the "Moadims" of the Lord
  • 12:25 the "Set times", the "Appointed times"
  • 12:28 where God ordains to meet with His people.
  • 12:30 And it's so amazing to be here on the Mount of Olives.
  • 12:33 We hear the call to prayer for the Muslims.
  • 12:35 There was a shofar blowing a few minutes ago.
  • 12:38 There's such contention in
  • 12:39 the atmosphere spiritually
  • 12:41 but it's the exact opposite of what God intends
  • 12:43 because He desires that all people will come to know Him,
  • 12:46 know His love and not be at odds with one another.
  • 12:49 In fact, He says that He's not willing
  • 12:51 that any should perish
  • 12:52 but all come to everlasting life.
  • 12:53 Right, it's really important
  • 12:55 that we are here in the Land proclaiming
  • 12:57 this news from a Jewish perspective at this time.
  • 13:01 Yes, especially at this time
  • 13:03 as the world is in tumult and as we're
  • 13:06 looking towards the 2nd coming of the LORD.
  • 13:08 I love how the story of Ruth
  • 13:10 talks about that knitting in
  • 13:12 to the commonwealth of Israel,
  • 13:13 that beautiful picture where
  • 13:15 she says, [Speaking Hebrew]
  • 13:22 What a picture of the heart of the LORD.
  • 13:24 Yeah, I'm so grateful that God
  • 13:26 brought us together Myles.
  • 13:28 And as we journey on
  • 13:30 may we continue to do what God
  • 13:32 has called us to do.
  • 13:33 Yeah, you know we are so grateful that you partner with us,
  • 13:37 you pray for us, you send us.
  • 13:38 We can't do this without you.
  • 13:40 There's no large funding organization behind us.
  • 13:42 This is a individual by individual community effort.
  • 13:46 And we're grateful that you are seeing this picture of Ruth
  • 13:50 that you may feel like you are a Ruth
  • 13:52 knit in to the commonwealth of Israel.
  • 13:55 And together we get to proclaim the
  • 13:57 goodness of God and the reality of Yeshua,
  • 14:00 His Jewish identity and the beautiful
  • 14:03 call to all the nations for revival.
  • 14:06 Both of those things are happening now.
  • 14:08 And so that's important that we come here
  • 14:11 and bring you the message
  • 14:13 to proclaim the story of Yeshua from these mountain tops.
  • 14:17 And we are grateful to come and do it.
  • 14:19 This year we actually were able to begin a new series
  • 14:23 that you'll be seeing a few clips from.
  • 14:25 We're calling it "Yeshua" -
  • 14:26 "Close Encounters with Yeshua"
  • 14:28 And it's really the story of the journey of faith,
  • 14:31 how people come to and maybe struggle with
  • 14:34 the idea of who He is in His Divinity and in His humanity.
  • 14:38 And so here's a few clips now from
  • 14:41 "Close Encounters with Yeshua"
  • 14:44 I didn't know what to do.
  • 14:45 I was a secret believer for four years.
  • 14:48 And during that time I just didn't know who I could talk with.
  • 14:53 But after four years the Lord led me to a Messianic Congregation.
  • 14:58 And there I found that I wasn't the
  • 15:00 only Jew in the world who believes.
  • 15:02 There are many more.
  • 15:03 Also, I grew up thinking that Christians hated me.
  • 15:07 Because I grew up with the stories
  • 15:08 of the Holocaust and so forth.
  • 15:10 And so what did I know?
  • 15:13 And I found out in this congregation
  • 15:15 there were many Christians who love the Jewish people.
  • 15:19 And that made such an impression on me
  • 15:22 that I went through a healing.
  • 15:25 This angelic being tells us not to be afraid,
  • 15:29 that a Savior had just been born here in the City of David.
  • 15:35 The Messiah! - Born here in Bethlehem!
  • 15:39 This Angel says, "You'll find Him
  • 15:43 wrapped in cloth, laying in a manger.
  • 15:48 In a manger - where we feed our sheep!
  • 15:52 And then an amazing Army of Angels above us
  • 15:57 praising God and saying, çSpeaking Hebrew]
  • 16:05 "Peace on earth, good will to all men."
  • 16:09 I tell you, it was unbelievable!
  • 16:12 We hurried to Bethlehem where we found the Babe
  • 16:15 along with His parents, Mary and Joseph.
  • 16:20 I have to wonder, Who am I
  • 16:24 that I should gaze upon the face of the newborn Messiah?
  • 16:30 On the 8th day, according to the Law of Moses,
  • 16:35 He was brought to the Temple in Jerusalem.
  • 16:38 It was there that He was given the name "Yeshua".
  • 16:43 "Salvation"!
  • 16:46 And they were sitting here.
  • 16:48 And I'm pretty sure that the accounts of the
  • 16:51 New Testament came out maybe from this hall.
  • 16:55 Because the first believers,
  • 16:58 the first followers of Jesus Christ,
  • 17:00 the eyewitnesses of Jesus' life
  • 17:02 they gather here and they were saying,
  • 17:05 "I was there you remember"
  • 17:07 "when the catching of the fish?"
  • 17:09 "I was there when the blind was healed."
  • 17:11 And they were building the story -
  • 17:14 their memories -
  • 17:16 their experience and their beliefs.
  • 17:19 Even the testimony that you are witnessing
  • 17:21 of this wonderful Priest that we got
  • 17:24 the chance to hear his testimony.
  • 17:27 So here, Myles, a Jewish believer
  • 17:29 and a Catholic believer
  • 17:31 testifying about Jesus' Jewish identity
  • 17:34 and so excited about the miracles
  • 17:36 that are happening in Magdala.
  • 17:38 Yeah, it was very encouraging
  • 17:40 to meet this Catholic Priest
  • 17:42 and to see that he is a born-again believer
  • 17:45 in the Church.
  • 17:46 But he is a born-again believer
  • 17:47 with real fellowship,
  • 17:49 Preaching the Gospel.
  • 17:50 Preaching the Gospel.
  • 17:51 It was so encouraging to spend time with him.
  • 17:54 I am told that the words of the prophet Isaiah
  • 17:57 were read today in our synagogue.
  • 18:01 Apparently it was read perfectly
  • 18:03 by Yeshua Ben Yosef .
  • 18:05 I've known Yosef for years.
  • 18:07 He's a simple carpenter
  • 18:10 and his son Yeshua seems to be a fine man,
  • 18:15 blessed with special wisdom.
  • 18:20 Reports are that Yeshua had a
  • 18:21 remarkable immersion
  • 18:23 in the river Jordan recently
  • 18:25 where the heavens opened up -
  • 18:27 and the very voice of Adonai was heard.
  • 18:33 After His reading Yeshua proclaimed
  • 18:36 that the words of Isaiah had been fulfilled.
  • 18:40 Good news for the poor,
  • 18:43 the imprisoned,
  • 18:45 the blind.
  • 18:49 I want to believe it -
  • 18:51 I really do.
  • 18:53 But here in Nazareth we need to see it first.
  • 18:57 Then we believe.
  • 19:06 We're a little further down the mountain now,
  • 19:08 the actual Garden of Gethsemene.
  • 19:10 It was a place - this very place
  • 19:12 or something exactly like this
  • 19:14 where Yeshua came to be pressed out
  • 19:16 for your salvation and for mine.
  • 19:36 We are so grateful to be here on the Mount of Olives
  • 19:39 with the Good News of Yeshua.
  • 19:41 In the background you may hear the
  • 19:42 Muslim call to prayer.
  • 19:44 It's the season of the shofars coming up to Rosh HaShanah.
  • 19:47 We just see that there's all this
  • 19:49 tumult in the world,
  • 19:51 all this conflict.
  • 19:52 And yet in the midst of it
  • 19:53 the Good News of Yeshua cuts through all of that.
  • 19:55 It's a mandate to us.
  • 19:57 In fact, Romans 1:16 says,
  • 20:09 And we have the opportunity of
  • 20:10 bringing this to people.
  • 20:11 Right, we're so grateful
  • 20:12 that you're helping us
  • 20:13 to be here in the Land
  • 20:15 and to proclaim the Good News of the Lord
  • 20:18 here in Jerusalem.
  • 20:20 It is the birthplace of all things and
  • 20:22 it's the combination of all things.
  • 20:25 So it's, you know, we're not afraid of the birth pangs,
  • 20:30 because God has a prophetic plan.
  • 20:33 And that's what this ministry stands for
  • 20:35 is to show you His prophetic plan
  • 20:37 with the Jewish people and with the nations.
  • 20:40 Yes, it's so amazing that Yeshua Himself said in John 4,
  • 20:44 salvation is of the Jews.
  • 20:46 The Covenant comes through the Jewish people
  • 20:49 but everyone is welcome to come into this love
  • 20:52 with the Lord and with each other.
  • 20:54 It's just that we have to say "yes" to Him.
  • 20:57 And that's sort of the tipping point that we're looking for.
  • 21:00 Well, we are always interested in bringing you prophetic messages
  • 21:04 about where we are in the world and
  • 21:06 how close we are to the coming of the Lord.
  • 21:08 And so one of our most popular series lately has been
  • 21:12 "Times of the Signs"
  • 21:14 which really speaks about the events that are taking place
  • 21:18 and puts them in a biblical context
  • 21:20 so we can understand how this Bible is
  • 21:23 coming true in our lifetime
  • 21:25 How the headlines are catching up to the Bible.
  • 21:28 So here are some excerpts from
  • 21:29 "Times of the Signs"
  • 22:19 In Matthew Chapter 24
  • 22:21 It's talking about all the
  • 22:22 signs that will come before
  • 22:24 the Lord Jesus returns to the earth
  • 22:25 Jesus gives this long list of signs.
  • 22:28 I always think it's interesting when people say
  • 22:30 we shouldn't be looking for signs.
  • 22:31 But when Jesus' disciple said
  • 22:33 what will be the sign of your coming
  • 22:34 and the end of the age?
  • 22:35 He didn't say, well don't worry about it.
  • 22:36 He gave this long litany of signs.
  • 22:38 I have to search hard to see if there's
  • 22:39 any possible sign that isn't
  • 22:40 converging right now
  • 22:42 And I haven't found one yet.
  • 22:43 For instance, Russia's involved in
  • 22:45 a major invasion of Israel in Ezekiel 38 and 39
  • 22:48 that includes Iran and Turkey.
  • 22:50 The relationship Russia is building
  • 22:52 with Iran and Turkey
  • 22:53 are stronger than ever and
  • 22:55 Iran and Turkey are adverse to Israel.
  • 22:58 That's one thing.
  • 22:59 What about it says in Revelation 11
  • 23:01 there will come a time when 2 witnesses
  • 23:04 who are preaching Jesus will be killed by the anti-Christ.
  • 23:07 And it says the whole world will see them.
  • 23:09 100 years ago they used to say that Bible can't be true,
  • 23:13 how could the whole world
  • 23:14 see 2 guys lying in the streets?
  • 23:16 Well, I'll pull out my cell phone
  • 23:18 and I'll tell you I can see them
  • 23:19 on the Internet on my cell phone, my iPhone.
  • 23:20 That's right.
  • 23:21 What about the mark of the Beast?
  • 23:23 Someday they say there'll be no one to buy or sell.
  • 23:26 A cashless society.
  • 23:27 Well what about the
  • 23:29 biometric chip technology we got right now?
  • 23:31 I call these the last days
  • 23:33 of the last day.
  • 23:34 WOW
  • 23:36 I heard a painfully ironic statement
  • 23:39 that Jewish and Christian martyrs say,
  • 23:42 I will die for what I believe.
  • 23:45 And Muslim martyrs will say,
  • 23:49 You will die for what I believe.
  • 23:51 The name Allah came from one of the many gods
  • 23:53 that were worshiped in the desert.
  • 23:56 It is the name of the Moon God.
  • 23:57 In fact, the Crescent and the Star that
  • 23:59 you see throughout the symbolism of Islam
  • 24:02 has a great connection to
  • 24:04 the Baal worship of history
  • 24:07 to the worship of the mother-son cult
  • 24:09 to the worship of that which is not
  • 24:11 of Jehovah, the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.
  • 24:16 They are different.
  • 24:18 The Islamic State under al-Baghdadi
  • 24:21 has a desire to set up a Caliphate,
  • 24:24 a world-wide kingdom.
  • 24:26 He calls himself self appointed Caliph, the spiritual leader.
  • 24:30 He's doing everything...
  • 24:31 And the man is brilliant.
  • 24:33 Strategy is his number one expertise.
  • 24:36 They are capturing Christians in the
  • 24:40 area where they're in control.
  • 24:42 They're beheading the adults,
  • 24:44 they're burning the children alive.
  • 24:47 You know we have this
  • 24:48 brokenness from the fall of man.
  • 24:50 But God is going to restore all of us who say "yes" to Him
  • 24:54 to a place that is like the Garden of Eden
  • 24:57 and possibly even more glorious
  • 24:59 because it will have no corruption in it at all.
  • 25:01 The fall will be over and the restoration will be complete.
  • 25:05 Yeah, we'll know those loved ones that have gone before us.
  • 25:08 You know, everything we partake of in this earth that is good
  • 25:12 will be magnified in this heavenly Jerusalem,
  • 25:15 in this heavenly place that we're going to.
  • 25:17 And we do not want one of you to be left out.
  • 25:21 And so remember, do not be afraid,
  • 25:23 do not be a coward,
  • 25:25 do not shrink back in these times
  • 25:27 for God Himself will give us
  • 25:29 the strength, the hope, the peace, the faith
  • 25:31 that we need to persevere.
  • 25:33 And He Himself will fulfill all of the
  • 25:36 Feasts with the trump of God
  • 25:38 and He Himself will call us home
  • 25:41 and then come again and Tabernacle with man.
  • 25:48 We're planning a new prophecy series for 2017.
  • 25:51 It doesn't have a name yet
  • 25:52 but we want to really update all of you
  • 25:55 on where we are in time
  • 25:56 because things are changing rapidly
  • 25:58 in America, Israel, the Middle East.
  • 26:00 Nations are aligning in new ways.
  • 26:02 They're really aligning according to the Bible.
  • 26:04 And so we really want you to hear about that
  • 26:07 and see that from the Land.
  • 26:09 We just feel like the Scriptures in Esther
  • 26:13 are really relevant for who you are
  • 26:16 and who we are together.
  • 26:18 Think about this, how Mordecai, my Hebrew name,
  • 26:20 how Mordecai said, [Speaking Hebrew]
  • 26:31 And I think together
  • 26:32 Absolutely
  • 26:34 that we can accomplish great things
  • 26:35 in proclaiming the Good News of the Lord.
  • 26:37 Right.
  • 26:38 Well we've always felt like this is part of our mandate
  • 26:40 to the Church to be that strength,
  • 26:44 to this people, the Jewish people here in the Land
  • 26:47 and to stand with them and to not hold silent
  • 26:49 but to be that voice.
  • 26:51 And you by supporting us is enabling us to help us to bring these messages
  • 26:56 to awaken the Church to their shared destiny
  • 26:59 and to awaken Jewish people to their Covenant promises.
  • 27:02 Yeah, you know we're here in the midst of the conflict.
  • 27:04 Right behind us is the most contested
  • 27:07 real estate on planet earth,
  • 27:08 the Temple Mount.
  • 27:10 And we hear the Muslim call to Prayer.
  • 27:11 It's Friday and so the energy is up
  • 27:14 regarding private prayers for the Muslims.
  • 27:16 And in the midst of that
  • 27:17 the hope " Hatikva ", "The Hope"
  • 27:20 is that the voice of the Lord, Sar Shalom ,
  • 27:23 the Prince of Peace
  • 27:25 would be heard in this Land.
  • 27:26 And that's really what we're going for.
  • 27:28 We really want to continue to bring
  • 27:30 the voice of the Lord to you so that you can
  • 27:33 stand with what's happening here
  • 27:35 as we look towards the second coming.
  • 27:37 Amen!
  • 27:38 We're really getting close to the coming of the Lord.
  • 27:41 And we want to be able to continue to work with you together.
  • 27:44 It's a privilege for us.
  • 27:45 And I believe it's a privilege for you
  • 27:47 because you've been brought into the kingdom
  • 27:49 for such a time as this.
  • 27:51 And we always like to close our program
  • 27:53 with a reminder from Psalm 122:6
  • 27:56 Sha' a'lu Shalom Yerushalayim
  • 27:59 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
