Caption transcript for Dateline Jerusalem: “Sin and Restoration” (1/10)

• 00:03 male announcer: God could have chosen anywhere on earth,
• 00:05 but he chose Israel.
• 00:08 He could have revealed his redemption anywhere;
• 00:11 he chose Jerusalem.
• 00:13 The house of the Lord might have been any place on earth;
• 00:16 he chose Mount Moriah.
• 00:19 Past, present, and future, the mountain of the Lord has been a
• 00:22 beacon of hope and remains a strategic site
• 00:27 for the next temple of God.
• 00:30 "Dateline Jerusalem: The Coming Temple."
• 00:36 David Hart: We're so glad you joined us today for a brand-new
• 00:39 series that we are excited about around this table.
• 00:42 Hi, guys, glad you're with us today.
• 00:44 Joshua Colson: Man, it is so good to be here.
• 00:45 And it's so incredible, every time I see Dr. Seif,
• 00:47 as you guys know, this is his last series that
• 00:49 he's going to be teaching, now you have to deal with us.
• 00:52 Caleb Colson: You're welcome! Joshua: Yes.
• 00:54 Caleb: But this series, what a series to go out on.
• 00:58 There's been renewed interest in prophecy and the temple because
• 01:01 five red heifers have showed up.
• 01:03 It's a game-changer.
• 01:04 And we wanna go into more of the prophetic implications of that,
• 01:07 and we will in the coming weeks.
• 01:08 David: It's gonna be good; right now, we take you to the Kidron
• 01:11 Valley where Dr. Seif is on location.
• 01:13 Let's go there now.
• 01:16 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: The word "paradise" comes from the Latin
• 01:18 word meaning enclosed garden.
• 01:22 I mention this because Bible readers know that Adam and
• 01:26 Chavah, Adam and Eve, were placed in an enclosed garden,
• 01:32 Gan-Eden, the Hebrew term for it.
• 01:35 'Course, things were not always so mellow.
• 01:38 We read in early Genesis before this there was darkness,
• 01:42 chaos, void, but then we're told
• 01:45 [speaking in Hebrew]
• 01:47 the Spirit of God moved over the face of the waters and brought
• 01:51 forth new life forms, first with Adam and then, subsequent to
• 01:57 that, he sleeps, and from him, from a part of him emerges
• 02:02 Chavah, or Eve, and they're placed there in paradise.
• 02:06 People wonder where paradise was.
• 02:09 There is a very cogent argument, a very well-reasoned argument,
• 02:14 that paradise in antiquity is Israel in modernity,
• 02:19 the Promised Land, the Holy Land.
• 02:22 I mentioned that Bible readers are aware that Adam and Chavah
• 02:26 were kicked out of the garden.
• 02:28 Sin had made its entrance onto the stage of the human drama.
• 02:31 They were vitiated, they were defiled, they were
• 02:34 expunged or kicked out.
• 02:36 To use the language of the text in Genesis 3:
• 02:40 "[speaking in Hebrew]
• 02:45 The Lord sent them forth from Eden,
• 02:50 [speaking in Hebrew]
• 02:52 to till the earth," to eke out a living
• 02:55 by the sweat of their brow.
• 02:58 Bible readers are familiar with the story,
• 03:00 but the question is where?
• 03:02 If you look at the continents on the globe, they're like
• 03:07 puzzle pieces and they could all collapse together.
• 03:10 And if they did, you'd find that Jerusalem,
• 03:13 that Israel, is central.
• 03:15 The Bible mentions various streams that were there,
• 03:20 part of Eden, one of which is known as the Gihon,
• 03:23 which is not far from me here in Israel.
• 03:28 I'm coming to you from a garden.
• 03:29 It's not Eden, it's the Kidron Valley,
• 03:32 and you can see behind me how very lush it is.
• 03:35 And then there's the wall, and then there's the temple.
• 03:40 Why do I wanna bring the story "Dateline Jerusalem"
• 03:43 to you from here?
• 03:45 Because Jerusalem has always been central,
• 03:49 since the dawn of biblical history.
• 03:53 And when humankind was kicked out of Eden,
• 03:56 when you look at the story in Bereshit, in Genesis, there's
• 03:59 this movement back to a place called the land of promise,
• 04:04 Ha'aretz Kena'an, the land of Canaan,
• 04:08 Ha'aretz Yisrael.
• 04:10 There was a fellow, Avram, there were stirrings
• 04:12 within his breast to come to this place.
• 04:16 The place was ground zero.
• 04:19 It's not just where sin entered the stage of the human drama,
• 04:22 but it's where God dwelt with man.
• 04:25 Now, when we look at the story of the emergence of the nation
• 04:29 of Israel in modernity, and when we consider the story of the
• 04:34 prospects of the temple's rise along with it, we bring these
• 04:38 themes in play back to the land, back to the place
• 04:42 where God makes his glory to dwell, kabod, his
• 04:47 glory, the Shekinah, there's God's presence among his people.
• 04:53 You might recall that Adam and Chavah walked with God,
• 04:55 but then sin messed that up.
• 04:59 When you look in the older testament,
• 05:00 there's the mechanism by which individuals could be reconciled
• 05:03 to God through atonement, through a sacrificial animal.
• 05:06 New Testament Christians needn't abide that;
• 05:09 it doesn't exist to abide.
• 05:11 Jesus Christ himself is the sacrifice for all,
• 05:14 and the high priest, both the high priest and the sacrifice.
• 05:17 But when you look at biblical literature, and we're going to
• 05:20 do just that in the series, we're going to explore from
• 05:23 beginning to end, from the Alpha to the Omega.
• 05:25 We're gonna look and see the story of sacrifice,
• 05:29 of temple, of the means by which God was restored to humankind,
• 05:33 how Jesus fulfills that, and, as we push to the ragged edge of
• 05:37 time, see, here, coming to you from this valley,
• 05:40 I'm being protological, I'm looking at first things.
• 05:43 But I wanna get eschatological, last things.
• 05:45 I wanna look at Bible prophecy and see what the good Lord says
• 05:49 about this good land, see what the book says about the
• 05:52 emergence of a reconstituted temple in this land.
• 05:58 Joshua: The land from which Dr. Seif has been speaking
• 06:01 is, of course, Jerusalem.
• 06:03 More specifically, the Kidron Valley adjacent
• 06:05 to the Temple Mount.
• 06:07 The burning question in this series will be when
• 06:10 will third temple be built?
• 06:12 We asked former Knesset member, Yehuda Glick,
• 06:14 whether he thought Israel was ready to assume
• 06:16 its place upon the Temple Mount.
• 06:18 Joshua: We'll continue now with Yehuda Glick,
• 06:21 who's been a guest on this program in the past.
• 06:23 A former Knesset member and candidate for president of
• 06:25 Israel, a survivor of an assassination attempt,
• 06:29 he now serves as chairman of the Temple
• 06:31 Mount Heritage Foundation.
• 06:32 Here's Yehuda Glick.
• 06:34 Yehuda Glick: The state of Israel was established in 1948.
• 06:37 But the Zionist movement, the national Jewish Zionist
• 06:40 movement, was established in the mid of the 19th century.
• 06:43 It takes time from the moment you make that change in the
• 06:47 attitude till you can actually build a temple.
• 06:51 Caleb: Genesis 22 tells us that it was upon this mountain,
• 06:54 Mount Moriah, that Avraham bound his son,
• 06:57 Yitzhak, and laid him on a sacrificial altar.
• 07:00 Just as Avraham was about to plunge his knife into the chest
• 07:04 of Yitzhak, God provided the ram for the sacrifice
• 07:07 and Yitzhak was spared.
• 07:09 The Mount will later come to be known as the Temple Mount,
• 07:12 the place where two temples would be built: the first one by
• 07:16 King Shlomo, Solomon.
• 07:18 2 Chronicles 3: "Now Shlomo began to build the house of the
• 07:21 Lord at Yerushalayim, on Mount Moriah, where the
• 07:25 Lord had appeared to his father, David, at the
• 07:27 place that David had prepared on the threshing floor
• 07:30 of Araunah, also known as Ornan, the Jebusite."
• 07:33 Joshua: Today, the rectangular platform covers 35 acres and
• 07:36 serves as the place of worship for Muslims in the Dome of the
• 07:39 Rock and in the nearby Al-Aqsa Mosque.
• 07:42 While the Muslim Dome of the Rock is built upon the rock that
• 07:45 some have deemed to be the location of Shlomo's temple,
• 07:48 there is some question as to how the very uneven surface within
• 07:52 the Dome could have served as a threshing floor.
• 07:55 More recent thinking is that the Dome of the Tablets just north
• 07:59 of the Dome of the Rock was the actual location of the temple.
• 08:02 The bedrock under this dome remains exposed and untouched,
• 08:06 just as it's been for thousands of years.
• 08:09 It's very possible that this was the threshing floor of Araunah.
• 08:13 Aligned perfectly with the Eastern Gate,
• 08:16 this site fits well with the placement of a future temple
• 08:19 given in Ezekiel 40.
• 08:21 Furthermore, it lines up well with the site on the Mount of
• 08:24 Olives where a red heifer will be slayed and its ashes
• 08:28 collected for temple purification.
• 08:31 The subject of the ashes of a red heifer has caused a stir
• 08:34 among those interested in news about the end times.
• 08:37 Our cameras documented the selection of five heifers in
• 08:40 Texas by rabbis from Yerushalayim,
• 08:42 and now a site on the Mount of Olives has been selected where
• 08:45 one of the heifers will be slayed.
• 08:48 Yitzhak Mamo of B'nai Israel has purchased land on the Mount
• 08:52 where the ashes of the heifer will be gathered,
• 08:55 a subject he'll address in future programs in the series.
• 08:58 Right now, he further explains the importance
• 09:01 of the Temple Mount.
• 09:03 Yitzhak Mamo: More than 2000 years, a lot of Jewish
• 09:06 and Christianity and Muslim people written
• 09:09 about the Temple Mountain.
• 09:12 It's very simple that it was here.
• 09:15 We know that between the 14th century to the 19th century,
• 09:23 Jews not allowed to get in sight of the Jewish quarter,
• 09:26 to the Old City, and they would--they was coming to the
• 09:30 Mount of Olive to see the Temple Mountain.
• 09:35 We have books from 1100, 1260, all of them generation,
• 09:44 we had very, very specific place where the temple had to be--was.
• 09:52 And he will be built at the same place.
• 09:55 Joshua: The International Christian Embassy,
• 09:57 Jerusalem, has had its hand on the pulse
• 09:59 of Zion for many years.
• 10:01 Annually, during the Feast of Tabernacles,
• 10:03 the Embassy holds a march through the streets of
• 10:05 Yerushalayim, displaying their support for their land of
• 10:08 Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
• 10:10 David Parsons is vice president of the Embassy and speaks
• 10:12 internationally about Israel and our prophetic times.
• 10:15 David Parsons: From my 30 years of trying to understand,
• 10:19 you know, exactly where the temple was located,
• 10:22 where was the Holy of Holies, it's either in or so close to
• 10:27 the Dome of the Rock it's hard to separate from it.
• 10:30 In Revelation 11, it talks about--John is told--he's
• 10:36 been up in heaven.
• 10:37 Now he's told, "Go down and describe," or he says--it says,
• 10:41 "Measure the temple and the court--and the altar," it says.
• 10:47 "Measure the temple and the altar and
• 10:49 those who worship there."
• 10:50 It means that when you are told to measure,
• 10:53 go describe what's going on down there.
• 10:56 He's seen everything else up till then from heaven,
• 10:58 but now he's given a view of what's happening there
• 11:02 in the temple courts.
• 11:04 But it says, "Leave out the court of the Gentiles because
• 11:08 it's gonna be still trampled down or
• 11:10 the Gentiles for a season."
• 11:13 So even, you know, there's an opening there that part of the
• 11:17 Temple Mount just as in ancient times,
• 11:20 Gentiles can be there.
• 11:22 But, of course, you know, this whole question of whether if you
• 11:26 worship Allah of the Qur'an, is it the same
• 11:29 as the God of the Bible?
• 11:31 My view is no, it's not the same nature and character revealed of
• 11:35 God in the Bible as in the Qur'an.
• 11:39 How this all plays out, I don't know exactly,
• 11:42 but, you know, the Revelation 11 suggests that somewhere up there
• 11:49 on the Temple Mount there will continue to be a trampling down
• 11:52 of a certain area that's pretty important to God
• 11:55 and to his people.
• 11:57 ♪♪♪
• 12:04 Kirsten Hart: David Parsons, thank
• 12:05 you so much for your insight.
• 12:07 It's good to see you again.
• 12:08 If any of you have watched our program for a while,
• 12:10 you know that our son Ryan worked for the International
• 12:13 Christian Embassy in Jerusalem with David Parsons.
• 12:16 David: We consider him a good friend.
• 12:19 Joshua: That is so cool. The insight's incredible.
• 12:20 Location, location, location.
• 12:22 It's that term you've heard in real estate.
• 12:24 Why is a shack in front of a nuclear plant not as valuable as
• 12:26 one with a beautiful view of the ocean?
• 12:28 Well, what does Eden, Jerusalem, and Mount
• 12:33 Moriah all have in common, Caleb?
• 12:34 Caleb: Well, as Jeff explained in his teaching,
• 12:37 the location of the past temples directly coincides with Har
• 12:42 HaBayit, the Temple Mount.
• 12:43 Yerushalayim and Eden were the same location in the past.
• 12:47 And this is important because Eden was actually a tall
• 12:50 mountain in the past, the greatest of all mountains.
• 12:53 And it was a transdimensional highway that went from the
• 12:56 earth all the way into the heavenlies.
• 12:57 At the top of this mountain was known
• 12:58 as the Mount of Congregation.
• 13:00 There was the throne of El Elyon who sat at the divine
• 13:03 council with B'nai Elohim.
• 13:05 And Elohim would descend that mountain in the cool of the
• 13:08 evening to walk and talk with Adam in the Garden.
• 13:11 And everything will come full circle in the end,
• 13:13 I promise, guys, with this great mountain,
• 13:16 the mountain of the Temple of the Lord,
• 13:17 rising up again during the Millennial reign.
• 13:20 Joshua: That makes that location so incredible.
• 13:21 The spot where God himself came down with man and communed is
• 13:25 the same spot that Jerusalem, Yerushalayim, is in now.
• 13:29 Kirsten: And that's why it's so important because,
• 13:30 right now, we are seeing things, you know,
• 13:34 there has to be a tectonic shift,
• 13:36 doesn't it, for that mountain to come up,
• 13:37 but we're seeing movement right now on that spot.
• 13:40 It's always been about it, but right now,
• 13:43 it's just like it's rapid fire, it's just going fast.
• 13:45 Caleb: And they have found under the Temple Mount
• 13:47 a fault line, there is a literal fault line.
• 13:49 We know that when Yeshua returns,
• 13:51 he steps foot on the Mount of Olives and it splits in half.
• 13:54 And that splitting will go all the way up to the Temple Mount
• 13:57 and he will cram through that Eastern Gate.
• 13:59 It's barricaded up now.
• 14:01 But he will rule and reign from Yerushalayim someday.
• 14:04 David: That's really good. Kirsten: Probably very soon.
• 14:07 David: Right now, we take you to the Knesset in Jerusalem
• 14:09 with Dr. Seif's teaching.
• 14:13 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Behind me is the Knesset
• 14:14 building here in Jerusalem.
• 14:15 Knesset comes from a word meaning assembly.
• 14:18 And there, that harks to a political assembly,
• 14:20 but the reason why that exists is because there was a national
• 14:24 assembly, principally, though not exclusively,
• 14:29 constituted by Jews who came back after the Holocaust.
• 14:33 Now, there were ways of immigration to Israel before
• 14:37 that, but the Holocaust really stepped it up, and to think that
• 14:44 a people could rebound and make their way back to their
• 14:47 ancestral homeland, unheard of, historically.
• 14:50 It just doesn't happen.
• 14:52 You know, nations come and nations go,
• 14:54 but they don't rebound after going, and--but that's the story
• 14:57 of Israel in so many ways because it's not
• 15:01 just a national story.
• 15:03 The national hopes and aspirations are tethered to
• 15:07 people that refer to themselves as the people of the book.
• 15:11 Speaking of which, I have a book in my hand right now,
• 15:14 the prophet Ezekiel chapter 37, verse 14.
• 15:18 He says: "I will put My spirit in you."
• 15:21 He's speaking to despirited exiles here
• 15:24 with a breath of new life.
• 15:27 And he says, "I'll put My spirit in you,
• 15:28 and you will live, and I will place you in your own land."
• 15:34 He says he's gonna do that. And he did it.
• 15:37 It's prophecy fulfilled in our day.
• 15:40 Then he goes at the end: "Then you will know
• 15:44 that I the LORD have spoken."
• 15:47 In so many ways, Israel's re-emergence as a nation state
• 15:52 gives credence to the proposition that God has spoken.
• 15:57 It's in attestation to the verse that says he watches
• 16:00 over his Word to perform it.
• 16:03 Why is that? Because he's a restorative God.
• 16:08 Yehuda: We're told--we're living in a time where the
• 16:10 prophecy that talks about the announcing of the kingdom of God
• 16:15 in the world is unfolding in front of us.
• 16:18 And that has many stages.
• 16:19 Yes, the building of the temple is one of them,
• 16:21 the Messiah is one of them, the recognition of the world
• 16:25 of one God is one of them.
• 16:27 There are many, many parts of this puzzle,
• 16:29 and so we are talking about building a temple as a palace of
• 16:34 God, and he has a king, one of the descendants of King David is
• 16:39 the king that he chooses upon.
• 16:42 And in order to get to that, we have to understand
• 16:46 that it's in our hands.
• 16:48 It's our mission. It's our assignment.
• 16:50 HaShem is waiting for us, us, all of us, all nations.
• 16:54 He wants the people of Israel to lead,
• 16:56 but he wants the people--the nations, to join him.
• 16:58 Sometimes, you know, sometimes it's the nations that are
• 17:00 actually supposed to wake up the people of Israel.
• 17:03 In Psalm 126 it says: "The nations say to people of Israel,
• 17:06 'God is doing great things for you.'"
• 17:08 And then the people of Israel says, "Oh my gosh.
• 17:09 Right, God is doing great things for us."
• 17:11 So sometimes we even need the nations to wake us up because
• 17:14 sometimes it says we're like dreamers.
• 17:16 People think, "What, you're like dreamers,
• 17:18 Some great thing is happening."
• 17:19 No, sometimes we're dreaming, [snoring],
• 17:20 we're busy sleeping, we're dreaming.
• 17:22 And the nations say, "Guys, wake up.
• 17:24 God's doing great things."
• 17:26 How did the Jewish people keep Jerusalem in our hearts
• 17:30 for so many years?
• 17:31 Very simple, first of all, we pray towards Jerusalem.
• 17:34 Second of all, we mention Jerusalem in our prayer three
• 17:37 times a day, every holiday, every event,
• 17:40 every marriage, every birthday.
• 17:42 But, yeah, we have to go towards the building of the temple.
• 17:45 The building of the temple will be the end
• 17:46 after we lay down the foundations.
• 17:48 The laying the foundations is getting the people to return to
• 17:52 Zion, to raise up the banner of Zion,
• 17:55 to establish this global Zionist movement towards Zion,
• 18:00 and then, once we make Zion holy again,
• 18:03 it's our mission to build the temple and to start the worship
• 18:06 of the temple for the sake of the world.
• 18:08 ♪♪♪
• 18:16 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: You've already seen if you've followed
• 18:17 our ministry, we have shown you pictures of orthodox Jews that
• 18:21 have retooled, refabricated, elements to be used
• 18:25 in a rebuilt third temple.
• 18:27 You know, the table of shewbread has been rebuilt,
• 18:29 the candelabra, the Menorah has been rebuilt.
• 18:32 Various paraphernalia used in sacrifice has been rebuilt.
• 18:35 There's one new addition to the mix and that is, for a temple to
• 18:39 be rebuilt, it has to be dedicated, and it takes a
• 18:42 special kind of sacrifice for that: a heifer,
• 18:45 a red cow, that has only red hairs, nothing but.
• 18:50 So it's an anomaly that, according to Rambam,
• 18:55 Rambam Maimonides is his name.
• 18:57 Well, Rav Moshe ben Maimon, who is to Judaism what Billy Graham
• 19:03 was to evangelical Christianity or what John Calvin was,
• 19:08 Rambam who is arguably Judaism's timeless sage,
• 19:15 was speaking of this coming day in advance of the Messiah's
• 19:19 Coming, with the temple's being rebuilt, and he said that there
• 19:23 had only ever been nine red heifers.
• 19:26 We need to find the tenth, and then the Mashiach.
• 19:30 I mention that because five red heifers were inspected
• 19:34 and found in Texas.
• 19:35 And the Lord graced our ministry to be there
• 19:37 with cameras to show that story.
• 19:40 And now, this series is a follow-up to it.
• 19:43 We're interested in the emergence of Israel as a nation
• 19:45 state, yes, but we're interested in not just political issues but
• 19:49 religious ones as well, that have prophetic connotations.
• 19:54 You're gonna find out in this series, "Dateline Jerusalem."
• 19:59 Caleb: Guys, temples and red heifers and the rebirthed
• 20:03 state of Israel, oh my.
• 20:05 The prophetic implications of what you just
• 20:07 heard is mind-boggling.
• 20:09 Even from Yehuda Glick, a practicing Jew,
• 20:12 declared prophetically by the scriptures that the Jews have
• 20:15 fallen asleep and need the Gentiles, the Goyim,
• 20:18 to wake them up.
• 20:19 This coincides with what Paul said in Romans 11:11 that the
• 20:23 national rejection of Israel brought about the salvation for
• 20:28 the Gentiles, that might spur the Jews to jealousy
• 20:31 to accept their Messiah.
• 20:33 And guys, the red heifers have appeared, and it's time for that
• 20:37 message of salvation to the Jews to be preached.
• 20:40 Now, I had the opportunity to speak with Mark Hitchcock,
• 20:43 a Bible prophecy expert, and he's going to explain to us the
• 20:46 next prophetic event on God's calendar.
• 20:51 Caleb: Mark, it's a pleasure to be with you today.
• 20:54 Talk about "Dateline Jerusalem."
• 20:55 All these prophetic events that are unfolding right now,
• 20:58 and you are no stranger to prophecy,
• 21:00 having written many books on the subject.
• 21:02 I was wondering from your perspective,
• 21:04 what is the next event on God's prophetic timeline?
• 21:08 Mark Hitchcock: Well, I think God's--the next event on God's
• 21:10 prophetic timeline is the Rapture of the church.
• 21:12 Now, we're living in the church age and there's nothing
• 21:15 that has to happen before the Rapture can take place.
• 21:17 You know, people often ask, you know,
• 21:18 "What has to happen before the Rapture?"
• 21:20 Nothing, the Rapture's an imminent event, I believe.
• 21:22 It's something that can happen at any moment.
• 21:24 So it's something that's certain it will happen,
• 21:26 but it's uncertain when it will happen.
• 21:28 So that's part of the reason we need to live with such urgency
• 21:30 and expectancy is that that's the next event.
• 21:33 Now, there's other things that could happen before the Rapture,
• 21:36 but nothing has to happen before the Rapture.
• 21:37 So I think that's the next event on God's prophetic calendar
• 21:40 that's really gonna trigger everything else.
• 21:42 Then it's gonna begin to flow out of that.
• 21:44 Caleb: That's true, I believe that.
• 21:46 Interesting thing, lately, the subject of a rapture has not
• 21:49 been popular amongst believers being taught in the church.
• 21:51 In fact, pre-Tribulation Rapture,
• 21:53 people have been crying, "Apostasy.
• 21:55 This is gonna happen.
• 21:56 We're going through the Tribulation."
• 21:57 It's kind of like their minds changed during COVID.
• 21:59 "Oh, all these terrible things are happening.
• 22:01 The Tribulation's started."
• 22:02 What do you say about the timing of the Rapture?
• 22:05 Mark: Well, the Rapture, I do think happens
• 22:07 before the Tribulation period.
• 22:09 You know, if it doesn't happen before the Tribulation then it
• 22:11 can't be imminent because, obviously,
• 22:13 if it happens in the middle of the Tribulation or the end of
• 22:15 the Tribulation, then it can't happen today 'cause we're not
• 22:17 in the Tribulation yet.
• 22:19 Many places in the Bible too, in 1 Thessalonians 1:10,
• 22:22 1 Thessalonians 5:9, Revelation 3:10,
• 22:25 all talk about, I believe, the fact that we're gonna be rescued
• 22:28 from the coming wrath.
• 22:29 And the wrath there that's being spoken of in those contexts,
• 22:32 I believe, is the wrath of the Tribulation,
• 22:33 or the Day of the Lord.
• 22:35 Says we're gonna be rescued out of that time of wrath.
• 22:37 And I think the whole 7-year period is God's wrath.
• 22:40 You know, some think only the last 3 1/2 years is God's wrath,
• 22:44 so you know, they believe in what's called
• 22:45 a mid-Tribulation Rapture.
• 22:46 Some think only the last one-fourth is.
• 22:48 That's called the pre-Wrath view.
• 22:51 And then the post-Tribulation view is that,
• 22:53 you know, when Jesus returns to earth at his Second Coming,
• 22:55 we'll be caught up in the medium and just come back down
• 22:57 to the earth with him.
• 22:58 And so they think the Wrath's just concentrated
• 23:00 right there at the end.
• 23:01 But I think the whole period is this time of wrath.
• 23:04 Now, we're gonna be caught up before that time period comes.
• 23:07 And the event, though, that starts the 7-year Tribulation
• 23:10 is not the Rapture.
• 23:12 It's this covenant that the Antichrist will come and make
• 23:14 with Israel for 7 years.
• 23:16 So, a lot of people kind of have the wrong idea that,
• 23:18 you know, when the Rapture happens, that
• 23:20 starts that 7-year Tribulation.
• 23:22 But the Rapture doesn't start the Tribulation.
• 23:24 The Rapture ends the church age.
• 23:26 Then sometime after that, the 7-year treaty will be made with
• 23:29 the Antichrist in Israel, and that's what's gonna then kind of
• 23:31 start the time clock of God there for those last 7 years.
• 23:35 Caleb: Right, well, thank you very much,
• 23:36 Mark, for that insight.
• 23:41 Caleb: When Josh and I stepped in as teachers for this
• 23:43 ministry, we wanted to make sure that we did
• 23:46 donations and giving right.
• 23:48 We want the focus to be on what the Holy Spirit moves in your
• 23:51 heart and not a demand for a dollar amount.
• 23:53 That's why whenever you give to
• 23:54 us, we wanna give in return.
• 23:56 We know the Holy Spirit will bless you,
• 23:57 but we have this amazing resource,
• 23:59 "The End," written by Mark Hitchcock.
• 24:01 It's an encyclopedia of all things prophetic and it makes
• 24:04 the complicated simple for you to understand.
• 24:07 And we're gonna give it to you for any gift
• 24:08 amount that you have.
• 24:10 And it's very important, as you heard Mark
• 24:11 speak about the Rapture.
• 24:13 It's imminent. This is coming quickly.
• 24:16 Yeshua's coming back and it's our job to tell more souls about
• 24:20 Yeshua before the time is up.
• 24:23 Joshua: Acts 4:12 says: "Neither is there salvation in
• 24:26 any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among
• 24:29 men, whereby we must be saved."
• 24:31 The name of Yeshua has to get out there.
• 24:34 Too often in life, we live for the tomorrow.
• 24:36 Who am I supposed to become? What am I supposed to do?
• 24:39 Instead of looking to today, we're looking forward to a
• 24:41 future that may never happen.
• 24:43 But you've been placed strategically where you're at
• 24:46 today to be a blessing and a gift in a ministry of the love
• 24:49 and saving power of Yeshua to the world around you,
• 24:51 and so today's the day.
• 24:53 You ask yourself, "Who am I to tell this message to?"
• 24:56 And if you don't know Yeshua, today is the day for you to
• 24:59 decide to make the choice to surrender your life to the Son
• 25:03 of God who died on the cross for your sins,
• 25:05 rose on the third day, and is residing behind the Father
• 25:09 today, preparing a place for you.
• 25:11 I encourage you today to ask the Holy Spirit
• 25:14 while you're here, now.
• 25:16 Kirsten: And why we're all here is because of this
• 25:19 timetable happening in Jerusalem,
• 25:22 and we're focused on that in this series.
• 25:24 We're all about the prophetic and what's happening,
• 25:27 and the "Dateline Jerusalem."
• 25:28 And Mark just said it, we know it,
• 25:31 the Rapture is next.
• 25:32 Nothing else has to happen, right,
• 25:34 before the great catching away.
• 25:36 Caleb: That's right, and we've all been called
• 25:38 according to the Great Commission.
• 25:39 It's not just our job to preach the gospel;
• 25:41 it's everyone, even in your home.
• 25:43 You may think, "I don't have a job to do."
• 25:45 Yeshua has called you personally to go out and tell your
• 25:48 neighbors, everyone in your sphere of influence,
• 25:50 he is the Messiah.
• 25:52 It's all incumbent upon us.
• 25:53 David: I just gotta say this, too, that what we're hearing on
• 25:56 this program, we don't hear it in the church
• 25:59 from the pulpit a lot.
• 26:01 So right here, right now, is a great place to hear what's
• 26:05 happening in our world today.
• 26:07 Also, I just wanna say, Jerusalem,
• 26:10 beautiful photography that you've seen,
• 26:13 we wanna take you to that place in Jerusalem.
• 26:15 We take tours twice a year, both the spring and the fall.
• 26:19 We would love for you to go to some of these great places that
• 26:21 we've shown you in this program even today.
• 26:24 Kirsten: So much more to come next week.
• 26:27 We have more. You guys are teaching.
• 26:29 Dr. Seif is in Israel teaching.
• 26:31 We will discuss, but for now we have to go.
• 26:34 Joshua: Well, as we always say: Sha'alu shalom Yerushalayim.
• 26:38 Kirsten: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
