• 00:01 ♪♪♪ David Hart: Welcome to "Our Jewish Roots," with insightful Bible teaching by
• 00:08 Dr. Jeffrey Seif. On this program we see how David dealt with someone determined to
• 00:12 destroy him, today on "Warrior King."

• 01:03 David: Thank you so much for joining us today.
• 01:04 I'm David Hart.
• 01:05 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart.
• 01:07 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: And I am Jeffrey Seif.
• 01:09 And we're gonna get into something.
• 01:11 You ever have someone in your life, they just get
• 01:13 under your skin?
• 01:15 They're really a problem and it doesn't seem to go away.
• 01:18 You know, David had that too.
• 01:20 It was a guy named Saul.
• 01:21 They went at it for 13 years.
• 01:23 Kirsten: I've had people under my skin
• 01:25 but no one out to kill me.
• 01:27 That's rough.
• 01:28 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: It surely was, and for no good reason.
• 01:31 It's the spiritual thing that Saul just has it in for David.
• 01:36 David: I'm gonna answer the question that you just asked us,
• 01:38 but they may be watching today so I--we can't talk about it,
• 01:41 ha, ha, ha.
• 01:43 A Saul in our life.
• 01:44 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Oh, you have one.
• 01:45 Kirsten: No, we'll just...
• 01:47 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Everybody does, you know?
• 01:48 And the thing is it's--there's lessons to be learned about how
• 01:50 David dealt with it.
• 01:52 God took care of it.
• 01:53 He really did.
• 01:54 And not only did he take care of the problem, God used the
• 01:58 problem to make David into who David needed to be.
• 02:02 It's a good story, it's in the Bible.
• 02:04 Kirsten: No, that's a great point, yeah, real good.
• 02:07 David: Right now we go to our dramatic reenactment in Israel
• 02:09 and then to Dr. Seif's teaching.
• 02:11 Let's go there now.
• 02:13 narrator: It had happened before to King Saul.
• 02:16 A dark evil spirit had settled on his soul once again, leaving
• 02:21 him utterly distraught.
• 02:24 David meant well in playing a tune, but it did little more
• 02:28 than further torment the troubled king.
• 02:37 narrator: David was gone for now but the evil spirit
• 02:40 remained, taunting him without mercy.
• 02:48 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: I am sure that it was extremely painful
• 02:53 for David.
• 02:54 And I want you to get the point as well and why is that?
• 02:56 Because it can be extremely painful for us and
• 03:00 what's that, pray tell?
• 03:02 When we are not only abandoned by friends and associates, not
• 03:06 only disappointed but out and outright betrayed.
• 03:09 It's tragic.
• 03:11 Sometimes, there are people, we serve them well in response to
• 03:14 which we get not just disrespected but they unleash
• 03:17 forces upon us that look to knock the legs
• 03:20 out from underneath us.
• 03:22 Sometimes we can take our friends and weigh 'em in the
• 03:24 scales and they can come up wanting and why is that?
• 03:28 Because much as we try and love them, they come after us with a
• 03:32 vengeance and that's tragic, isn't it, that we have to be on
• 03:35 the defensive, that we have to be on the ready against friends,
• 03:39 people that we serve, people that we've loved.
• 03:42 That's where the warrior king David, well, he's not a king
• 03:45 yet, but that's where he finds himself.
• 03:47 And maybe this is his training on the way to be the king.
• 03:50 What do I mean by that?
• 03:52 You know the story.
• 03:53 David entered into a world against the backdrop
• 03:55 of Saul's demise.
• 03:57 Saul was vested with authorization to be the king to
• 04:00 lead the people but he wasn't leading the people, he was
• 04:02 bleeding the people.
• 04:04 He was feeding off of them instead of feeding them.
• 04:06 And why is that?
• 04:07 Well, it was all about the house of Saul.
• 04:09 It was all about him benefiting from the position that he had
• 04:13 instead of using his energies to be of a benefit
• 04:16 to the community.
• 04:17 Well, God finally says, "I can't work with this man anymore.
• 04:19 He just won't repent.
• 04:21 He's not teachable."
• 04:23 So the word to Saul from the prophet Shemu'el
• 04:26 is "Enough already."
• 04:28 The Lord went to someone else, David--David, and he found in
• 04:32 him some stock that he could raise up and use.
• 04:34 Now what's interesting, part of David's being raised up was him
• 04:39 to have this titanic struggle with the man
• 04:42 that he began serving.
• 04:44 And isn't that tragic?
• 04:46 I don't know if you've ever found yourself in a place
• 04:48 where the world has turned on you.
• 04:50 Here, we're in a home where there's some love, people
• 04:52 working together, and you'd have heard the expression that a
• 04:55 man's home is his castle and the reason why that is, is sometimes
• 04:58 the world outside can be so very precarious, very tumultuous, so
• 05:03 we retreat into the confines of our own home.
• 05:05 But what do you do when your own home, when your own safety zone
• 05:08 turns on you?
• 05:10 David had that happen.
• 05:11 His whole world turned upside down and he learned
• 05:13 to rely on God.
• 05:15 But the same God that he was relying upon was the one who was
• 05:18 counted upon to send the troubles.
• 05:21 If you look in 1 Shemu'el chapter 19 we're told
• 05:25 in verse 9: "[speaking foreign language]
• 05:31 And an evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul."
• 05:35 I don't know that God's in the business of dispatching demons.
• 05:37 The point is the Lord allowed it to happen.
• 05:39 And so why is it that the Lord allows bad things to happen to
• 05:44 good people or why he allows his people to have bad people
• 05:47 assault them?
• 05:49 Well, we learn to trust in him, to be sure.
• 05:51 It seems to me that if we're gonna be champions, we have to
• 05:54 learn to bear underneath difficult burdens and weights
• 05:57 and that makes us in the process.
• 05:59 David was a king.
• 06:01 He had to learn his craft, learn about trusting in God, learning
• 06:04 about how God could deliver from bad people
• 06:06 and bad circumstances.
• 06:08 David learned that and he became the warrior.
• 06:11 He was forged in the furnace of affliction.
• 06:15 There were many things that David learned, by the way,
• 06:17 because of the difficulties that he experienced, difficulties
• 06:20 that served him well.
• 06:21 And I want you to know that the difficulties that you experience
• 06:24 in life, if you're walking with the Lord,
• 06:26 can serve you well as well.
• 06:28 And why do I say that?
• 06:29 Because scripture says that all things, even Saul things, says:
• 06:33 "All things work for the good of those who love God who are
• 06:37 called according to his purpose."
• 06:39 I have a Saul in my life, one or two to tell you the truth,
• 06:42 and you probably do as well.
• 06:44 But, you know what?
• 06:45 If you have the Lord in your life, that's plenty good to get
• 06:48 the better of life's challenges.
• 06:51 It's easy to feel alone, isn't it sometimes, when you feel
• 06:53 you're running away from people's spears?
• 06:56 But that's not all the story with Saul and his family.
• 06:59 I think you know, if you read the Bible you learn that Saul
• 07:02 had a son, Yonatan, Jonathan, a man,
• 07:06 a different sort altogether.
• 07:08 It's interesting inasmuch as Saul was hell bent on destroying
• 07:10 David, David had endeared himself, not only to Jonathan as
• 07:14 a best friend, a great friend, we're gonna look at him in a
• 07:17 moment, but not just that.
• 07:18 But even Saul's daughter fell in love with David.
• 07:21 Go figure.
• 07:22 An upside-down world, isn't it?
• 07:24 And sometimes, an upside-down world is the kind of world that
• 07:28 God uses to get his people right-side up.
• 07:30 And so when we look at the story of our warrior king David, we
• 07:34 learn about Davidic leadership in Goliath-like times and we
• 07:37 learn how he used difficulties to make that man who he was.
• 07:41 [music]
• 07:45 Jonathan: David and I had become the best of friends,
• 07:48 despite my father's attempts to have him slain.
• 07:51 David remained intensely faithful to the throne.
• 07:55 Our friendship had now become the one link
• 07:58 that kept him alive.
• 08:00 We laughed together.
• 08:02 Perhaps in doing so, hoping to forget my father's rage.
• 08:07 David asked me to be loyal and kind.
• 08:10 I agreed, knowing I could never find a better friend, one who,
• 08:17 in the future, would replace my father as the king of Israel.
• 08:27 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: The word "fraternity" comes from the
• 08:29 Latin word "frater" which means brothers.
• 08:33 And as you may well recall from the biblical text,
• 08:36 "[speaking foreign language]
• 08:39 Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brethren
• 08:42 dwell together in unity."
• 08:44 So you might recall that people need people.
• 08:47 Yeshua Jesus is on record saying, "By this all men will
• 08:51 know that you are my disciples, by your love for one another,"
• 08:55 by your fraternity.
• 08:57 When I think of the story of David and Yonatan, Jonathan and
• 09:00 David, I'm reminded of a relationship there that, to me,
• 09:04 is just fantastic.
• 09:07 And, by the way, it's rare amongst men these days, outside
• 09:11 of the theater of combat, I should say.
• 09:13 Men go off to war, men forge bonds when men struggle together
• 09:21 against a common foe.
• 09:23 I never served in the army but I have a career
• 09:25 in law enforcement.
• 09:27 I know that there's a kind of fraternal bond amongst men who
• 09:30 bear arms in defense of home and hearth in the police force, that
• 09:34 there's a lifelong bond that cops share and, by the way, it's
• 09:39 all over the world.
• 09:40 I can go to another continent and talk to a cop about cop
• 09:43 stuff and we are instant buddies.
• 09:46 There's something about braving the same kind of hazards
• 09:49 that forms bonds.
• 09:51 And men need those bonds.
• 09:55 Tragic, outside of war, males develop relationships in war
• 10:01 where they learn to work together.
• 10:03 We cultivate skills on reliance, responsibility, and then we
• 10:07 leave that world and go into civilian life and
• 10:09 it's every man for himself.
• 10:11 And there's something in that.
• 10:12 Males feel something missing.
• 10:14 There's a vacuum.
• 10:16 There's something that needs fixed and why is that?
• 10:19 Because a man is alone and men were not made to be alone.
• 10:25 Strange as that might sound, there's a void in the heart that
• 10:29 men have that can't be filled by a woman.
• 10:33 Now, I know I can be misunderstood in saying that.
• 10:35 It wouldn't be the first time.
• 10:37 And I can get bad mail.
• 10:38 "Oh, I don't believe it," but it's true.
• 10:41 Men need men.
• 10:42 Now I think it's problematic.
• 10:43 Ain't it like the devil to sexualize that?
• 10:46 I think that indeed is problematic.
• 10:48 When I look here in the sacred text to see about the sacred
• 10:51 bond between men, let's not even think of sexualizing that.
• 10:55 I believe the Bible legitimizes relationships between Adam and
• 10:59 Eve, not Adam and Steve, but I want you to see this.
• 11:02 In Shemu'el, 1 Samuel chapter 20 and verse 16:
• 11:07 "[speaking foreign language]
• 11:11 And Jonathan made a covenant, [speaking foreign language] ,"
• 11:16 he cut a covenant.
• 11:17 He made a covenant with David and we're told in verse 17:
• 11:22 "And Yonatan caused David to swear for the love that he had
• 11:27 for him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul."
• 11:34 I believe there's a longing for that, by the way.
• 11:37 I believe there's a need for that.
• 11:39 I can't tell you how, as a police officer, I would love
• 11:41 just to sit around in uniform with other men.
• 11:44 Maybe there was a fight, there was an incident, something we
• 11:49 worked together to break up, and then there's a kind of
• 11:51 camaraderie where we connect and we process what happened and,
• 11:55 oh, for the joy of that.
• 11:57 And to me, it's tragic how that's missing
• 11:59 outside of that culture.
• 12:01 You know, I've had some experience serving as a
• 12:03 firefighter as well where we debrief, you -- the bunker
• 12:07 gear, you--you know, most people are smart enough to run from a
• 12:09 fire; some people are dumb enough to run into it.
• 12:12 But there's a guy--I say that tongue-in-cheek, of course.
• 12:14 They're not dumb; they're heroes.
• 12:16 The point is that when people work together in a common cause
• 12:18 and a common struggle, it forges alliances that wouldn't
• 12:22 otherwise be there and we need that.
• 12:25 I believe that God's people need to recover that.
• 12:29 The Bible says:
• 12:30 "[speaking foreign language]
• 12:32 How good and pleasant it is when brothers
• 12:35 dwell together in unity."
• 12:36 Hear me, mister, you might have a lot of talent, but you are not
• 12:40 going to excel, you're never going to reach what you could
• 12:44 otherwise be if you forever wanna go it alone in life.
• 12:48 Find good friends, cultivate those bonds.
• 12:52 Be faithful to each other.
• 12:53 David and Jonathan did that.
• 12:55 It's a moving story.
• 12:56 Never mind my words, read the Bible itself and learn how David
• 13:00 was the better for his associations with Jonathan.
• 13:08 David: [speaking foreign language]

• 14:16 We would love to hear from you.
• 14:19 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: I love this series, "Warrior King."
• 14:23 It's all about David-like leaders for Goliath-like times.
• 14:30 I wanna thank you, by the way, for rising to the occasion with
• 14:33 that David spirit and throwing some energies against the
• 14:37 troubles of the day, whether it's a stone, whether it's an
• 14:42 arrow, whether it's a dollar, people invest energies in order
• 14:47 to propel God's work forward and keep back
• 14:51 the prevailing darkness.
• 14:54 Fundraising isn't my favorite aspect of television but, you
• 14:59 know, we need to do it.
• 15:00 And I wanna ask you please to be gracious and help us to keep
• 15:05 throwing energies against the darkness of the days.
• 15:10 We live in interesting times and we wanna be that David voice.
• 15:15 Help us tell that story please, and I wanna thank you
• 15:19 in advance for so doing.
• 15:25 narrator: It was a slaughter field.
• 15:27 Never before had King Saul ever witnessed such carnage.
• 15:32 The Philistines had killed his three sons and now, in the last
• 15:36 moments of this hopeless battle, the wounded king pleaded
• 15:41 for his own death.
• 15:43 Loyal to the end and gripped with fear, his armor bearer
• 15:48 refused the king's plea.
• 15:51 And so it was that Saul would use his sword one last time.
• 15:58 [music]
• 16:06 [music]
• 16:12 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: The expression "to fall upon one's
• 16:14 sword" speaks of someone taking their own life and we're at a
• 16:19 place in David's life where he's learned that his nemesis has
• 16:24 fallen upon his own sword.
• 16:28 Saul is dead and Jonathan along with him.
• 16:34 For my money, Saul could have died a lot sooner and that would
• 16:39 have been okay because the God's honest truth is I didn't like
• 16:43 that man soon as I met him in biblical literature.
• 16:46 At least, not long after I read him, I realized there was
• 16:49 something wrong with that man.
• 16:50 Jonathan, on the other hand, you just can't help but
• 16:54 fall in love with him.
• 16:56 I just--I love that guy and I say that at the risk
• 16:59 of being misunderstood.
• 17:01 In any case, David here is confronted with the fact that
• 17:05 both are dead and it's monumental in the biblical text.
• 17:10 The Samuel text is clear that David had every reason to wanna
• 17:16 kill Saul and he never exercised his prerogative.
• 17:21 David's conduct is sterling and why is that?
• 17:24 Because he won't take it upon himself to be given to executing
• 17:31 his superior officer in that social system.
• 17:34 He spends 13 years not fighting Saul but running from him and
• 17:39 now, as he's running, he's overrun with the fact
• 17:42 that Saul is dead.
• 17:43 We come upon that story in 1 Shemu'el, 1 Samuel, very simply
• 17:50 and in verse 4 at the end, Saul and the armies is engaged in a
• 17:57 clash with the Pelishtim, with the Philistines,
• 18:00 and it doesn't go Saul's way.
• 18:03 And we're told finally in verse 4: "[speaking foreign language]
• 18:13 Therefore Saul took his sword, and he fell upon it."
• 18:17 He was mortally wounded and he said, "Enough already."
• 18:21 The battle's gone horribly, he experiences the death
• 18:24 of his own around him.
• 18:27 It's tragic at one level.
• 18:28 We're told then in verse 7, very simply:
• 18:33 "[speaking foreign language]
• 18:38 And Saul and his sons were dead."
• 18:44 What's interesting for my money is the way
• 18:46 that David responded to it.
• 18:48 As I'd said, the way I perceive it, Saul could have died a lot
• 18:52 earlier and that would have been okay.
• 18:54 I would imagine David could have been tempted to just deep--you
• 18:58 know, breathe a deep sigh of relief but it wasn't
• 19:01 the nature of the guy.
• 19:02 David, and this is really interesting, I think, and it's
• 19:05 evident and you'll hear David in his own words,
• 19:08 David was mournful over it.
• 19:10 David had been running from that man for 13 years and, you know
• 19:13 what, God used that tough guy to grow up David.
• 19:18 God used the Saul, he used it all, wars with his own, wars
• 19:23 with the Philistines, to make that man the man that he was.
• 19:27 And great leaders are great bleeders.
• 19:28 That is to say, we all have scars under our shirts.
• 19:33 And they make us the people that we are.
• 19:38 David's leadership was forged in the furnace of challenge.
• 19:44 David makes peace with his nemesis, if you will, and you
• 19:47 know, there's the old Spanish expression, "adios,"
• 19:49 which doesn't mean goodbye.
• 19:50 It is goodbye but it means "To God," and I think that David
• 19:54 gave his struggles over a long time beforehand.
• 19:57 And now he eulogizes Saul and Jonathan, and I want you
• 20:01 to hear this in 2 Samuel chapter 1.
• 20:05 He says in verse 23: "Saul and Jonathan, the lovely
• 20:10 and the pleasant."
• 20:13 How can David describe Jonathan and his father
• 20:18 as "the lovely and the pleasant"?
• 20:19 You know why?
• 20:21 I mean, you can be vexed over somebody that's really been
• 20:25 messing you up for years, you know?
• 20:27 But you make peace with it and you just say, "God, whatever."
• 20:32 I think it's striking that David himself did much the same.
• 20:35 He says in verse 26: "I'm distressed for thee,
• 20:37 my brother Jonathan."
• 20:39 David learned to forgive and give it over to God and he was
• 20:43 able to go on to greatness.
• 20:45 Would that we did likewise.
• 20:50 David: I, personally, love the story of David,
• 20:53 this whole series.
• 20:54 I like that he didn't have a perfect life but his heart--
• 20:58 he has a great heart, I believe.
• 21:01 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: He surely does.
• 21:02 And who has a perfect life?
• 21:04 You know, one person, Jesus, had a perfect life.
• 21:08 The rest of us are just people.
• 21:10 Kirsten: Right, that deal with things like jealousies.
• 21:13 Interesting, I know I'm sandwiched between both of you
• 21:16 guys, there's something that happens with guys.
• 21:20 It's like a deep jealousy, should I say, that can happen.
• 21:25 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: I'd rather deal with jealous guys
• 21:26 than jealous girls.
• 21:28 Jealous guys, we'll just duke it out and come to terms.
• 21:31 It doesn't simmer under the surface for length--
• 21:35 that's overly simplistic, I grant.
• 21:37 Kirsten: Right, I'm gonna say, I think it's--I think it
• 21:38 was under Saul, you know, the whole "he killed thousands,
• 21:42 David killed ten thousands."
• 21:43 I mean, for over a decade trying to take out the next king, the
• 21:47 anointed king of Israel.
• 21:49 I know there's something deep that Saul just couldn't get over
• 21:52 the jealousy of David.
• 21:53 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Yeah, but that's a little more to my way
• 21:55 of thinking than just guys having a jealousy issue.
• 21:57 I mean, that's jealousy on steroids and that's
• 22:00 a spiritual issue as well.
• 22:02 Kirsten: Right, and it's--I was just gonna say, we deal with
• 22:05 people like that in our world, people that are jealous of a
• 22:09 position or a place or a status.
• 22:12 I don't even know if Saul was jealous of David's looks, but
• 22:15 it's just--it's interesting to see that David
• 22:18 still respected Saul.
• 22:20 I mean, he was sad when he died, even.
• 22:22 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Yeah, I think the author goes out of his
• 22:24 way to say that David didn't do anything to stealthily undo him.
• 22:28 That the reason why Saul lost his seat at the table was
• 22:33 uniquely because of Saul, and the reason why David had a seat
• 22:37 at the table was uniquely because of God.
• 22:40 Kirsten: I didn't mean to throw you guys under the bus.
• 22:43 Women can get catty, I think, but it's something
• 22:45 we all deal with.
• 22:47 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: We all deal with, you know, like at the
• 22:48 outset of the program, we all have a Saul in our life.
• 22:51 I mean, there's--we all have a stone in our shoe, you know,
• 22:54 that something goes "Ouch" when we look
• 22:56 in webs of relationships.
• 22:58 And you know, God used it to make David who he was,
• 23:02 to be sure.
• 23:03 Kirsten: That's true.
• 23:04 Our daughter-in-law has gone through a situation with a boss
• 23:08 recently, in the past few months, that has just tried to
• 23:11 undermine her, and our daughter-in-law has been
• 23:14 extremely respectful of her position.
• 23:17 And I see that with David also, that David, even in the midst of
• 23:22 hiding out in a cave away from Saul, was respectful
• 23:25 of Saul's anointed position.
• 23:27 It's just very interesting.
• 23:28 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: To be sure, even when he's victimized
• 23:30 by it all, he goes out of his way.
• 23:32 I mean, his performance is sterling.
• 23:34 I need to be more like that.
• 23:35 I'm willing to get in there and fight, you know?
• 23:37 I'm not a nice guy at the end of the day sometimes.
• 23:39 I'll duke it out.
• 23:41 David: There's more news about this.
• 23:42 We'll be right back.
• 23:45 David: "Our Jewish Roots" is more than
• 23:46 just a television program.
• 23:48 See what you are missing on our social media outlets.
• 23:52 Kirsten: On Facebook and Twitter, you'll find our daily
• 23:55 "Name of God" devotional, current news articles, the
• 23:58 Bearded Bible Brothers, and more.
• 24:01 David: On our YouTube channel, you'll find Faith
• 24:03 Foundations, music, interviews, the Bearded Bible Brothers,
• 24:08 and more.
• 24:10 Kirsten: Or find everything on our website, levitt.com.
• 24:13 David: We invite you to keep in touch and join us
• 24:15 on social media.
• 24:19 David: We have many biblical series that we've brought you
• 24:21 in the past.
• 24:22 If you would like to see some of those that maybe you've missed,
• 24:25 go to our website, levitt.com, and click on "TV"
• 24:29 and you will see those series.
• 24:31 Kirsten: Right, we have so much to offer online,
• 24:33 on our website.
• 24:35 Find us, we make it easy.
• 24:37 And something else that is easy is the way Chaim Malespin
• 24:41 shares the gospel.
• 24:42 Let's go to him right now in Israel.
• 24:45 [music]
• 24:52 Chaim Malespin: Joel chapter 2.
• 24:53 Our prophet talks about a time when the Spirit will be poured
• 24:55 out on all flesh.
• 24:57 Isn't that amazing?
• 24:58 But do we understand that it's connected intrinsically
• 25:00 to the restoration of this land?
• 25:02 Remember in 1906 when Ben-Gurion first shows up here, he starts
• 25:05 the Watchman Movement, or what's called Hashomer,
• 25:08 to develop agriculture here?
• 25:09 And what happens right after that?
• 25:11 In 1906, April 9, the outpouring of the Holy Ghost at Azusa
• 25:15 Street Mission, William Seymour, Richard Asberry.
• 25:18 It was amazing.
• 25:19 Do you remember the War of Independence, 1948, here, where
• 25:22 God supernaturally protected Holocaust survivors.
• 25:24 A bunch of militias got together and somehow we survived.
• 25:28 Well, what happens after that?
• 25:29 1948 to 1952, the Latter Rain Movement,
• 25:33 great spiritual renewal.
• 25:35 Six-day War, 1967, you remember we were outnumbered
• 25:38 2 to 1 with soldiers.
• 25:40 The Iraqi-Syrian-Jordanian-Egyptian
• 25:41 armies.
• 25:43 United Arab Forces had a huge advantage over us with military
• 25:46 weaponry, double the amount of tanks, four times the amount of
• 25:49 aircraft, but you know we were supernaturally spared.
• 25:53 What happens?
• 25:55 The Jesus Movement all over the US from the West Coast.
• 25:58 Let's go and look and fast forward to 70 years
• 26:03 since the declaration of Israel.
• 26:05 What will happen?
• 26:07 What will God do? Let me tell you.
• 26:09 Outpouring is intrinsically linked to the restoration.

• 27:27 Kirsten: Thank you, Chaim, for your words.
• 27:29 You are one of the most positive upbeat people.
• 27:32 The great thing about Chaim, he doesn't let people get him down.
• 27:35 King David did the same thing.
• 27:37 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Boy, and that's really
• 27:38 a great characteristic.
• 27:40 We all should have some of that.
• 27:41 David: Right, I wanna be like him.
• 27:43 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Me too. Kirsten: You are.
• 27:45 David: Ha, ha, ha, ha. Kirsten: You are.
• 27:46 You really are, both of you.
• 27:47 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Well, thank you.
• 27:49 Kirsten: Sorry I threw you under the bus with the men's
• 27:50 jealousy thing earlier.
• 27:51 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: It's okay.
• 27:53 When I grow up I wanna be like Chaim.
• 27:54 Kirsten: He is wonderful.
• 27:55 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: You're wonderful too.
• 27:57 Time to go, however.
• 27:58 So, as we go, Shaalu shalom Yerushalayim.
• 28:00 Kirsten: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
