• 00:42 ANGER IN GAZA
• 00:44 WAR IN LEBANON
• 00:46 RUMBLINGS IN IRAN
• 00:48 AS THE WORLD FOCUSES ON THE MIDEAST QUAGMIRE,
• 00:53 ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES PRESENTS...
• 01:02 SHALOM.
• 01:03 JEFFREY SEIF HERE WITH THE 4TH OF AN 8 PART TREATMENT
• 01:06 OF THE FANTASTIC BOOK OF DANIEL.
• 01:09 SHALOM. WELCOME BACK.
• 01:10 DANIEL IS EXCITING.
• 01:11 AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SPIRITUAL BATTLE.
• 01:14 DEMONS AND ANGELS.
• 01:16 THIS STUFF GETS RATHER SPOOKY AT ONE LEVEL.
• 01:19 AT SOME POINT, YEAH.
• 01:20 NEWS BEHIND THE NEWS.
• 01:22 WE'RE NOT USED TO THINKING ABOUT ANGELS AND DEMONS
• 01:24 BUT THESE PERSONALITIES MANIFEST IN THE BIBLICAL TEXT.
• 01:28 CASE IN POINT, INTRODUCED IN DANIEL ARE GABRIEL AND MICHAEL,
• 01:34 THESE ANGELS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
• 01:35 WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL COMFORTING PEOPLE.
• 01:38 I'M GLAD THEY'RE IN THERE.
• 01:39 YES.YOU KNOW THAT BELIEVERS ARE PROMISED AN ANGEL AS WELL?
• 01:42 I HOPE SO. >>A GUARDIAN ANGEL.
• 01:44 HEY LISTEN, WE GET THROUGH LIFE
• 01:45 WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM SOME FRIENDS, THE LORD HIMSELF.
• 01:48 WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER ANGELS AND DEMONS.
• 01:51 WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT SPIRITUAL WARFARE IN DANIEL AS WE CONTINUE OUR STORY IN THIS SERIES,
• 01:56 "DANIEL, THE LAST DAYS' BATTLE FOR PLANET EARTH.
• 02:13 PERCEIVING ENEMY FORCES,
• 02:15 BOTH SEEN AND UNSEEN,
• 02:18 ALIGNING FOR BATTLE;
• 02:20 GOD REMINDED DANIEL
• 02:22 THAT WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD.
• 02:26 IN THIS PROGRAM WE SEE THAT GOD UNLEASHES UNSEEN ANGELIC FORCES
• 02:32 TO DEFEND HIS TREASURED PEOPLE.
• 02:45 I'M DRIVING TO THE VALLEY WHERE THE HEBREWS ONCE FOUGHT THE PHILISTINES.
• 02:49 JOIN WITH ME AND LET'S EXAMINE ONE OF THE SCRIPTURES MOST INTERESTING BATTLE SCENES,
• 02:55 THE VALLEY WHERE DAVID FOUGHT GOLIATH.
• 03:09 CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, "B'NEI YISRAEL" WERE LINED UP ON ONE SIDE OF THE VALLEY
• 03:14 AND THE PHILISTINE ON THE OTHER.
• 03:20 FORCES WERE READY TO ENGAGE IN A GREAT CONTEST AS YOU MIGHT RECALL
• 03:23 BACK IN THE DAYS OF SAMUEL.
• 03:26 THE STORY IS TOLD IN 1ST SAMUEL
• 03:27 HOW THEY CAME TO THIS VALLEY, THE VALLEY OF ELAH.
• 03:31 AND THERE WAS A CONTEST THAT WAS FOUGHT HERE THAT WOULD BE DECISIVE FOR ISRAEL'S HISTORY.
• 03:37 THERE YOU HAD THE ARMY OF ISRAEL SQUARED OFF
• 03:41 AGAINST THE PHILISTINES.
• 03:45 IT'S AMAZING TODAY YOU HAVE THOSE THAT REFER TO THEMSELVES AS PALESTINIANS ON THE ONE HAND,
• 03:49 FIGHTING AGAINST THOSE WHO FLY UNDER THE BANNER OF THE "MAGEN DAVID",
• 03:52 THE SHIELD OF DAVID, OR THE STAR OF DAVID, ON THE OTHER.
• 03:54 IT'S ALMOST AS THOUGH THE DESCENDANTS OF BOTH ARE JUST STILL ENGAGED IN CONFLICT
• 04:01 3000 YEARS AFTER THE STORY THAT TOOK PLACE HERE
• 04:05 YEARS AGO OF COURSE, WHEN DAVID FOUND HIMSELF IN THIS VALLEY.
• 04:09 THE STORY IS TOLD IN
• 04:11 THE 17TH CHAPTER OF 1ST SAMUEL,
• 04:14 HOW THEY WERE LINED UP HERE.
• 04:16 YOU CAN RECALL THE STORY, I'D IMAGINE,
• 04:19 HOW DAVID COMES BRINGING FOOD STAPLES FOR HIS BROTHERS AT THE BEHEST OF HIS FATHER
• 04:24 AND THEN HE SEES THIS GOLIATH COME OUT AND TAUNT THE ARMIES OF THE LIVING GOD.
• 04:30 DAVID ISN'T KNOWN TO BE MUCH OF A SOLDIER, HE'S A SHEPHERD BOY.
• 04:33 AND REALLY, WHEN HE WAS OUT THERE PROTECTING THE FLOCK HE HAD A SLING SHOT
• 04:37 AND THAT WAS ABOUT THE ONLY THING HE WAS TRAINED IN AND SO HE HAD THIS IN HIS POCKET.
• 04:43 HE SEES THIS GOLIATH COME OUT AND DAVID'S INDIGNANT.
• 04:47 THIS FELLOW'S INSULTING THE ARMIES OF THE LIVING GOD.
• 04:50 DAVID IS A SPIRITED FELLOW. HE BELIEVES IN GOD, HE BELIEVES IN GOD'S BEING ABLE.
• 04:55 SO WHEN THIS FELLOW COMES OUT TAUNTING,
• 04:57 DAVID RAISES THE QUESTION, "WHAT'S IN IT FOR THE GUY THAT TAKES HIM OUT?"
• 05:02 WAS IT SIMPLY DAVID'S VERVE AND VITALITY?
• 05:05 OR IS THERE AN ANOINTING ON HIM THAT JUST THRUSTS HIM INTO THE FUTURE AT THIS JUNCTURE?
• 05:11 AND BEYOND HIS OWN INNATE TENDENCIES, HIS BOLDNESS, HIS VERVE,
• 05:15 IS THERE SOME PROTECTION OF THE LORD
• 05:18 THAT GOES BEFORE HIM AND ENABLES HIM TO HAVE GOOD SUCCESS?
• 05:22 OVER AND AGAIN DAVID CREDITS HIS TRIUMPHS TO GOD GOING WITH HIM.
• 05:26 AND NOT ONLY WITH HIM AS AN INDIVIDUAL PRESERVING HIM IN THE MIDST OF TROUBLE,
• 05:30 BUT GOD GOING WITH ARMIES OF ISRAEL AS WELL.
• 05:34 DANIEL YEARS LATER PICKS UP ON THE SAME STORY WHEN HE REPORTS
• 05:38 HOW THERE WAS GABRIEL,
• 05:40 HOW THERE WAS MICHAEL
• 05:42 WHO WAS ISRAEL'S PATRON ANGEL
• 05:44 IF YOU WILL,
• 05:45 THERE CONTESTING FOR THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL.
• 05:48 NATIONS COME AND GO AND PEOPLE FIGHT BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE A FIGHT BEHIND THE FIGHT.
• 05:52 YOU MIGHT RECALL THE NEW TESTAMENT PASSAGE THAT SAYS,
• 06:09 FRIENDS, IF WE TAKE THE BIBLE SERIOUSLY THERE'S A BATTLE UNSEEN.
• 06:13 OF COURSE, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
• 06:15 BUT IT SEEMS THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO DAVID BECAUSE WHEN GOLIATH CAME OUT AND SAID,
• 06:21 "LOOK, WHO IS THIS THAT YOU'RE SENDING ME ISRAEL?
• 06:24 THIS IS THE BEST THAT YOU CAN DO?"
• 06:25 DAVID SEEMED SO VERY INSIGNIFICANT AS YOU MIGHT RECALL.
• 06:29 AND WHILE HE'S JUST SNARLING AT DAVID AND INSULTING DAVID
• 06:33 AND THE ARMIES OF ISRAEL AND THE GOD OF ISRAEL DAVID SAYS,
• 06:37 "YOU COME TO ME WITH SHIELD."
• 06:40 "YOU COME TO ME LADEN WITH ARMOR."
• 06:42 "BUT I COME TO YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LORD OF HOSTS."
• 06:46 AND SO SOMETHING THIS PRIMITIVE
• 06:49 WITH STONE IN IT AND GOD,
• 06:52 THAT'S AN EQUATION FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE.
• 06:56 AT ONE LEVEL THE RESOURCES THAT ISRAEL HAS AT DAYS' END SEEMS SO VERY INADEQUATE TO THE TASK.
• 07:05 IN A FEW MOMENTS WE'RE GOING TO GO TO AN INTERVIEW
• 07:08 WITH A FAMOUS ISRAELI GENERAL.
• 07:11 THE 2ND MOST DECORATED
• 07:12 ISRAELI GENERAL
• 07:14 IN THE HISTORY OF THE ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES IN THE MODERN HISTORY.
• 07:19 HE'S A RATHER INTERESTING FELLOW IN PART BECAUSE WHEN HE WAS IN OFFICER'S SCHOOL HE WAS PUT OUT.
• 07:25 THEY SAID THAT HE DIDN'T THINK HE WAS REALLY CUT FROM THE RIGHT CLOTH.
• 07:29 AND SO HE WAS PUT OUT OF THE OFFICER CORP.
• 07:32 HE WOUND UP WORKING HIS WAY UP BY VIRTUE OF HIS DINT OF DETERMINATION,
• 07:37 HIS PROWESS, HIS SPIRIT, HIS VERVE,
• 07:40 HIS WILLINGNESS TO JUMP INTO THE FRAY.
• 07:43 AND SO WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT HE WINDS UP BECOMING THE GENERAL OF THE ARMOR CORP.
• 07:49 DAVID IS MUCH THE SAME. HE STARTS OFF SEEMINGLY INSIGNIFICANT,
• 07:53 BUT GOD IS WITH HIM. AND THIS IS THE STORY THAT WE WANT TO FOCUS ON AT DAYS' END.
• 07:59 IT'S INTERESTING AT ONE LEVEL TO REWIND THE TAPE ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE SAMUEL STORY
• 08:04 HERE IN THE CLASSIC BATTLE OF DAVID AND GOLIATH.
• 08:08 WHAT I WANTED TO DO WAS LOOK AT THE FINAL BATTLE IN DANIEL
• 08:12 WHERE WE SEE HOW GOD IS GOING TO SEND ANGELIC FORCES TO ASSIST THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
• 08:19 AND WHAT I WANTED TO SHOW WAS,
• 08:21 EVER SINCE ISRAELIS PICKED UP A SWORD IN A SPIRIT OF FIGHT
• 08:25 GOING BACK TO DAVID WHO'S THE QUINTESSENTIAL ISRAELITE SOLDIER,
• 08:29 IN DAVID'S OWN MOUTH, HE SAYS, "I COME TO YOU IN THE NAME OF
• 08:32 "ADONAI TZEVA'OT",
• 08:34 THE LORD OF HOSTS,
• 08:36 THE LORD OF THE ARMIES.
• 08:37 GOD IS WITH THESE ARMIES.
• 08:39 AND THE GOD WHO WAS WITH ISRAEL IN THE BEGINNING
• 08:42 WILL GO THROUGH HISTORY AND BE WITH ISRAEL AT THE END,
• 08:46 SUPERNATURAL FORCES BEHIND TO HELP ISRAEL ACCOMPLISH ITS PURPOSE
• 08:51 AS MANDATED IN THE WORD OF GOD.
• 08:54 ISRAEL DOESN'T GET DESTROYED, IT DOESN'T GO AWAY.
• 08:56 "HE WHO KEEPETH WATCH OVER ISRAEL NEITHER SLUMBERS AND NOR SLEEPS."
• 09:01 AND THAT IS THE SAME GOD THAT KEEPS WATCH OVER ME AND OVER YOU.
• 09:23 LET ME BE VERY CLEAR.
• 09:24 IT'S NOT ABOUT LAND.
• 09:26 THE ARABS HAVE 613 TIMES MORE TERRITORY THAN THE ISRAELI'S DO JEFF.
• 09:32 ISRAEL IS WHAT? THE SIZE OF NEW JERSEY?
• 09:35 9,000 SQUARE MILES, THAT'S IT.
• 09:37 IF YOU LOOK AT THE EARTH, 24,000 MILES WIDE,
• 09:41 SOMETIMES IT'S A 20 MINUTE DRIVE FROM EAST TO WEST IN ISRAEL.
• 09:44 RIGHT.ISRAEL'S THE LITTLE PIECE OF LAND
• 09:47 WHERE IT ALWAYS SAYS "ISRAEL" IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.
• 09:49 IT'S NOT BIG ENOUGH ON THE MAP TO PUT ISRAEL ON IT.
• 09:51 RIGHT.SO ALL OF THIS TALK, JEWS EXPANSIONISTS, COLONIALISTS, AND THE LIKE,
• 09:56 THERE'S GOT TO BE A BIG CHASM BETWEEN THE RHETORIC AND THE REALTY.
• 10:01 IT'S A SPIRITUAL WAR.
• 10:03 RIGHT. AND GIVEN TO - THIS ISN'T ROOTED IN GEOPOLITICS;
• 10:06 IT'S REALLY ROOTED IN SOME NEWS BEHIND THE NEWS.
• 10:10 HENCE, IN CONSIDERING THE MIDDLE EAST, WE WANT TO LOOK AT THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY,
• 10:16 THAT IS, DANIEL'S TELLING OF SPIRITUAL FORCES DRIVING WORLD EVENTS.
• 10:28 COMING TO YOU FROM LATRUN,
• 10:30 VERY FAMOUS SITE IN ISRAEL.
• 10:33 THE ARMOR CORPS OF THE ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES HAS A MUSEUM HERE
• 10:37 WHERE THERE'S A VARIETY OF CAPTURED TANKS.
• 10:41 IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT AREA IN THE BIBLE TOO.
• 10:44 THIS IS IN VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY TO WHERE
• 10:46 THE SUN WAS SAID TO HAVE STOOD STILL IN JOSHUA'S DAY.
• 10:49 "MODIIN" IS JUST OVER THE HILL AS WELL THAT HARKS BACK TO A VERY FAMOUS BATTLE
• 10:54 WHEN THE MACABEES GOT GOING AND FOUGHT THE SYRIANS.
• 10:57 AND SPEAKING OF THE SYRIANS,
• 11:00 I'M STANDING BY TANKS NOW THAT WERE CAPTURED FROM THE SYRIANS IN MODERN WARS.
• 11:05 BEHIND ME IS A STURMGESCHUTZ,
• 11:07 IT'S A GERMAN TANK
• 11:08 THAT WAS USED, FELL INTO THE HANDS OF THE SOVIET ARMY
• 11:11 WHO TRANSFERRED IT TO THE SYRIANS WHO THEN LOST IT IN THE BATTLE WITH ISRAEL.
• 11:18 THIS RIGHT HERE IS PANZER TANK.
• 11:20 BRINGS BACK MEMORIES
• 11:22 OF WORLD WAR II FOR ME.
• 11:23 I REMEMBER HOW MY MOTHER WAS SMUGGLED OUT OF NAZI GERMANY
• 11:26 BECAUSE OF TERRORS IMPOSED BY THE REGIME THAT SPORTED THIS TANK.
• 11:31 AND THEN WE COME TO THIS ONE RIGHT HERE.
• 11:33 THERE'S A JEWISH EXPRESSION,
• 11:35 "DOR L' DOR",
• 11:37 FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION.
• 11:39 GENERATION COMES, A GENERATION GOES,
• 11:41 BUT IT SEEMS THAT CONSISTENT THROUGH THE PASSAGE OF TIME
• 11:45 ARE FORCES THAT ARE MINDED TO EXTERMINATE THE JEWS.
• 11:48 THIS IS A SHERMAN TANK,
• 11:50 AN AMERICAN TANK,
• 11:54 THAT HAS A FRENCH TURRET ON TOP OF IT THAT WAS UNDER THE EMPLOY OF THE EGYPTIANS
• 11:58 WHO THEN LOST IT IN A SINAI WAR WITH ISRAEL.
• 12:00 YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE MUSLIM SYMBOL.
• 12:03 YOU CAN SEE THE GREEN CIRCLE
• 12:05 WITH THE CRESCENT MOON THERE.
• 12:07 ACTUALLY THERE'S EVEN AN ARABIC LICENSE PLATE ON THIS ONE.
• 12:11 AS I'D SAID A MOMENT AGO, IT SEEMS THAT THE CLASH,
• 12:14 THE WAR, INDIVIDUALS BENT ON DESTROYING JEWS FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION,
• 12:20 IT'S A WAR THAT ENDURES FROM BIBLE DAYS RIGHT INTO THE MODERN ERA.
• 12:24 WE KNOW FROM THE BOOK OF DANIEL THAT THERE'S A WAR BEHIND THE WAR.
• 12:29 THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT IS AS DANIEL IS SPEAKING OF COMING WARS,
• 12:34 INTRODUCED INTO THE NARRATIVE ARE WARRIOR ANGELS.
• 12:39 STRANGE AS THIS MIGHT SOUND,
• 12:40 WE'RE GOING TO SEE GABRIEL
• 12:43 INTRODUCED INTO THE HEBREW BIBLE FOR THE FIRST TIME,
• 12:46 FOLLOWED THEN IMMEDIATELY BY ANOTHER ANGEL,
• 12:48 MICHAEL.
• 12:51 ARCHANGELS, WE KNOW THEM AS.
• 12:53 IT'S INTERESTING THAT WHEN ONE LOOKS AT THE BIBLE WE SEE ANGELS NOT ONLY DELIVERING MESSAGES
• 12:59 BUT ACTUALLY CONTENDING, FIGHTING.
• 13:03 HENCE THERE'S NEWS BEHIND THE NEWS.
• 13:05 THE HEBREW WORD FOR ANGEL
• 13:07 IS "MALACH".COMES FROM THE
• 13:08 ANCIENT UGARITIC VERB "LACH",
• 13:11 WHICH MEANS "TO SEND",
• 13:12 HENCE, TYPICALLY THEY'RE CONSTRUED AS GIVING A MESSAGE.
• 13:16 AND TO BE SURE, GABRIEL IS INTRODUCED HERE TO A PERPLEXED DANIEL WHO IS OVER HIS HEAD.
• 13:21 HE SEES VISIONS OF A WORLD AT THE END AND HE WONDERS WHAT IT ALL MEANS.
• 13:26 AND WE SEE THEN IN DANIEL
• 13:28 CHAPTER 8 WHERE HE'S VISITED
• 13:30 BY GABRIEL IN VERSE 16.
• 13:33 GABRIEL COMES TO MAKE THIS MAN UNDERSTAND A VISION.
• 13:37 HE'S TOLD IN VERSE 19 THAT THE VISION AWAITS FULFILLMENT IN THE LATER TIME.
• 13:43 IF YOU LOOK THEN IN,
• 13:48 WE SEE GABRIEL COMES AND THE IMAGERY HERE IS RATHER STRIKING.
• 13:57 HENCE THE IMAGERY HERE OF AN ANGEL AS A WINGED CREATURE.
• 14:01 HE FLIES, ACCORDING TO THE TEXT AND HE MAKES HAST TO GET TO DANIEL TO GIVE HIM A WORD.
• 14:07 AND HE SAYS IN VERSE 22,
• 14:14 HENCE, HERE THE ANGEL IS GOD'S MESSENGER TO BRING FORTH UNDERSTANDING.
• 14:19 LATER ON THEN WE SEE IN THE 10TH CHAPTER THAT WE SEE THE VISION OF AN ANGEL CONTENDING.
• 14:27 ACTUALLY, IN EFFECT, GABRIEL SAYS,
• 14:29 "LISTEN I WANTED TO GET TO YOU EARLIER"
• 14:30 "BUT I WAS ENGAGED IN A BATTLE ROYAL WITH THE PRINCE OF PERSIA."
• 14:34 AND HE SAYS THAT,
• 14:36 "MICHAEL, ANOTHER ANGEL, CAME TO MY AIDE AND TOGETHER WE GAVE FIGHT TO THE PERSIANS",
• 14:42 WHICH SEEMS RATHER INTERESTING.
• 14:44 JUST SO YOU KNOW THAT I AM NOT LYING, IT'S HERE,
• 14:58 WHAT'S INTRODUCED INTO THE NARRATIVE HERE IS A WARRING ANGEL.
• 15:02 MICHAEL, IN FACT, IS ENVISIONED AS THE PATRON SAINT OF ISRAEL.
• 15:07 YOU MIGHT RECALL ELSEWHERE IN SCRIPTURE WE'RE TOLD THAT
• 15:09 "HE WHO KEEPETH ISRAEL NEITHER SLUMBER NOR SLEEP."
• 15:14 AND IN AS MUCH AS THE DEVIL IS SAID TO DISPATCH HIS HOARDS TO DRIVE ENEMIES AGAINST ISRAEL,
• 15:21 TO DRIVE IT INTO EXTERMINATION, TO DRIVE THE NATION STATE TOWARD INHALATION,
• 15:27 IN MUCH THE SAME WAY, THERE IS FORCES FOR GOOD, ANGELS,
• 15:30 ACCORDING TO THE TEXT THAT ARE DISPATCHED TO BE OF ASSISTANCE
• 15:34 TO HELP SOME UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE LAST DAYS
• 15:37 AND TO BOTH HELP THEM UNDERSTAND AND TO CONTEND FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 15:42 AND LET ME TELL YOU, JEWISH PEOPLE NEED ALL OF HEAVEN'S HELP.
• 15:46 NOT ALL JEWISH PEOPLE ACKNOWLEDGE IT LIKE THAT.
• 15:48 AND I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT AT ONE LEVEL
• 15:50 THAT HERE IN ISRAELITE SOCIETY INDIVIDUALS NEED TO CULTIVATE A MILITARY FORCE
• 15:57 AND THERE'S A SENSE IN WHICH IT'S ON OUR SOLDIERS AND ON OUR SHOULDERS TO PROTECT THE HOME LAND.
• 16:04 WHILE THAT'S TRUE, IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT THERE'S GOD WHO'S GOT GOOD NEWS BEHIND THE NEWS,
• 16:09 WHO IN FACT, HAS BROUGHT BACK ISRAEL AS A NATION STATE IN THESE LAST DAYS,
• 16:13 RAISED UP THE NATION STATE AND HAS ENABLED ISRAEL TO FIGHT INCREDIBLE ODDS.
• 16:19 IT'S A FASCINATING STORY.
• 16:21 IN DANIEL WE'RE TOLD THAT AT DAYS' END IN THESE LAST DAYS WAR
• 16:25 IT ALL HEATS AND THERE IS A BATTLE ROYAL.
• 16:27 THERE'S SPIRITUAL NEWS BEHIND THE NEWS, THERE'S ANGELIC FORCES THAT COME INTO PLAY.
• 16:33 I'M REMINDED OF A PSALM,
• 16:51 LEST WE STUMBLE AND DASH OUR FOOT.
• 16:53 IT'S A FASCINATING STORY.

• 18:19 EARLIER IN THE PROGRAM YOU SAW JEFF IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH.
• 18:21 THIS IS THE VALLEY WHERE DAVID AND GOLIATH FOUGHT.
• 18:25 THIS IS A STONE FROM THE VALLEY OF ELAH.
• 18:27 IT'S ANOTHER PLACE THAT WE GO WHEN WE'RE IN ISRAEL.
• 18:30 I THINK IT'S ALWAYS ANOTHER GOOD REASON TO GO TO ISRAEL,
• 18:33 JUST TO PICK THESE STONES UP OUT OF THE RIVER.
• 18:34 THERE'S LOTS OF STONES THERE TOO,
• 18:36 ALL OVER THE VALLEY.
• 18:38 I WRECKED THE JEEP THERE AT ONE POINT ON A BIG STONE,
• 18:40 NOT A SMALL ONE.
• 18:41 BUT, SEE IT ONLY TOOK ONE STONE FOR DAVID TO TAKE GOLIATH DOWN.
• 18:44 ONE STONE IS ALL IT TOOK.
• 18:46 IT'S AMAZING THAT THAT POINTS IN THE BIBLE.
• 18:48 THE YOUNG FELLOW REACHES DOWN, GRABS SOME STONES
• 18:51 AND THIS BECOMES THE WEAPON TO DESTROY THE ENEMY.
• 18:55 THAT'S WHAT HE HAD.
• 18:56 GOD USES REGULAR PEOPLE, REGULAR STUFF.
• 18:58 HE USES ORDINARY TO DO THINGS THAT ARE SUPER ORDINARY,
• 19:03 EXTRA ORDINARY.
• 19:04 AND SPEAKING OF EXTRA ORDINARY, WE HAVE A FELLOW COMING UP, GENERAL KAHALANI,
• 19:08 WHO IS THE 2ND MOST HIGHLY DECORATED SOLDIER IN THE HISTORY OF MODERN ISRAEL.
• 19:15 THIS IS A MODERN DAVID. YOU'RE GONNA LOVE HIM.
• 19:19 GENERAL CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE GOLAN HEIGHTS
• 19:22 AND WHY THESE ARE SO STRATEGIC AND VALUABLE TO ISRAEL?
• 19:26 GOLAN HEIGHTS, WE HAVE
• 19:28 32 VILLAGES IN ONE TOWN
• 19:30 IN THE GOLAN HEIGHTS.
• 19:32 GOLAN HEIGHTS IS JUST 14 MILES FROM DAMASCUS, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT.
• 19:37 SYRIA IS A HUGE COUNTRY BUT IT'S VERY CLOSE TO OUR BORDER.
• 19:42 WE ARE THERE FROM THE 1967 WAR
• 19:44 AND OF COURSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY PLAN TO BE THERE.
• 19:48 THE MOMENT THEY JUST SHOOT ALL OVER THE NORTH OF ISRAEL,
• 19:53 THEN WE DECIDED TO MOVE TO THE GOLAN HEIGHTS.
• 19:55 TO BE IN THE GOLAN HEIGHTS FOR ME
• 20:00 IS LIKE PROTECTING THE NORTHERN OF ISRAEL FROM SYRIA.
• 20:05 AND WE KNOW, SYRIA, BEHIND THEM NOW WE DON'T HAVE IRAQ
• 20:10 BUT THE IRAQ WAS BEHIND THEM AND IRAN BEHIND THEM,
• 20:14 THEY COULD USE SYRIA LIKE [A] PATROL TO ATTACK ISRAEL.
• 20:18 GOLAN HEIGHTS GIVES US THE ABILITY TO PROTECT THE AREA.
• 20:23 WELL, THERE'S A LOT OF TALK ABOUT LAND FOR PEACE.
• 20:25 "LET'S GIVE THE GOLAN TO SYRIA FOR PEACE, "LET'S GIVE THE GAZA..."
• 20:30 WHAT DO YOU THINK OF LAND FOR PEACE AS A PRINCIPAL?
• 20:33 SOME PLACE IN ISRAEL WE ARE READY TO COMPROMISE.
• 20:40 THE PLACE THAT WE ARE READY TO COMPROMISE,
• 20:42 AND I'M READY TO COMPROMISE -
• 20:44 TALKING ABOUT THOSE
• 20:46 6 TOWNS, HUGH TOWNS
• 20:49 IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA,
• 20:50 WHAT YOU CALL
• 20:51 "WEST BANK".
• 20:53 AND I'M NOT REALLY - NOT REALLY SHOULD BE THERE AND CONTROL THEIR LIFE.
• 20:57 I'M READY TO DO MANY THINGS.
• 20:58 BUT WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE,
• 21:01 WHICH PLACE WE SHOULD BE THERE FOREVER TO PROTECT OUR COUNTRY.
• 21:06 WE HAVE TO BE IN
• 21:07 THE JORDON RIVER,
• 21:08 JORDON VALLEY,
• 21:10 NEAR JERICHO
• 21:11 TO PROTECT ISRAEL.
• 21:13 IT'S JUST 25 MINUTES DRIVE FROM JERICHO TO JERUSALEM, TO OUR CAPITOL.
• 21:18 WE SHOULD BE IN THE GOLAN HEIGHTS TO PROTECT THE NORTH OF ISRAEL
• 21:22 BECAUSE ISRAEL IS JUST AROUND 10 MILES WIDE
• 21:27 WHEN WE HAD THE GREEN LINE BEFORE 1967.
• 21:31 AND DO YOU THINK ABOUT HOW FAST THEY CAN CUT THE COUNTRY INTO TWO PIECES?
• 21:37 WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM IN 3 HOURS THEY CAN DO IT.
• 21:40 WE NEED LAND.
• 21:43 WE CAN USE THE AIR FORCE,
• 21:45 WE CAN USE THE SHIPS,
• 21:47 WE CAN USE MANY THINGS,
• 21:48 BUT WHEN YOU PUT THE FLAG ON THE HILL, IT'S YOURS.
• 21:53 AND FROM THE HILLS YOU CAN PROTECT YOURSELF.
• 21:56 THERE'S A SAYING, "LO GOY EL GOY CHEREV..."
• 22:01 "NATION WILL NOT LIFT UP SWORD AGAINST NATION".
• 22:04 WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IN YOUR OPINION?
• 22:09 SURPRISE [TO] ME HOW YOU TALK FROM THE BIBLE.
• 22:14 I WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE.
• 22:16 AND I THINK THAT MY GENERATION SHOULD BRING THE PEACE.
• 22:19 BUT THE HATRED IN THE MIDDLE EAST IS SO DEEP
• 22:24 AND THE PEOPLE AROUND US THEY HATE US SO MUCH.
• 22:28 THEY ARE READY TO DO ANYTHING TO THROW US TO THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA
• 22:35 AND THEY HAVE PLAN HOW TO DO IT.
• 22:37 YOU CANNOT CONVINCE THEM [OF] THAT IF YOU WITHDRAWAL FROM THE AREA.
• 22:42 LET'S TALK ABOUT THE HAMAS.
• 22:45 A FEW YEARS [AGO]
• 22:46 I TALK[ED] WITH THE HAMAS
• 22:47 PEOPLE IN THE JAIL.
• 22:48 I WAS MINISTER OF
• 22:49 THE PUBLIC SECURITY
• 22:51 AND I ASKED THEM,
• 22:52 "LET'S TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE NATION, OF THE AREA".
• 22:56 THEY SAID, "WHAT IS THE QUESTION?" >>IT'S OUR FUTURE.
• 22:59 LET'S TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE.
• 23:01 TELL ME WHAT'S GOING TO BE HERE 25 YEARS FROM NOW?
• 23:03 [HE] SAID, "ONE BIG PALESTINE."
• 23:07 WHAT DO YOU MEAN, BIG PALESTINE?, I SAID. WHAT IS THE BORDER?
• 23:11 [HE] SAID, "BETWEEN JORDAN RIVER AND THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA."
• 23:15 I SAID WHAT ABOUT ISRAEL?
• 23:18 "WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION?" HE ASKED ME.
• 23:21 AND I WAS [THE] MINISTER SITTING WITH HIM IN THE JAIL.
• 23:24 "THERE IS NO ISRAEL" HE SAID.
• 23:28 WHAT ABOUT US?
• 23:29 "WE'RE GOING TO SEND YOU BACK TO THE COUNTRY THAT YOU COME FROM."
• 23:33 GENERAL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
• 23:35 REALLY A PLEASURE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR.
• 23:37 YOU'RE WELCOME.

• 24:53 THOSE EMBROILED IN A FIGHT SOMETIMES PAUSE AND SAY,
• 24:56 "I WONDER WHAT THAT OTHER PARTY WANTS?"
• 24:58 IN RESPONSE TO THE QUESTION, "WHAT DO THEY WANT?"
• 25:00 GENERAL KAHALANI SAID, "THEY WANT ONE BIG PALESTINE".
• 25:06 WAS THERE EVER EVEN ONE LITTLE PALESTINE THERE IN JUDEA PROPER?
• 25:11 JEFF, DON'T MAKE ME CRAZY,
• 25:12 I HATE THAT NAME "PALESTINE".
• 25:14 LET'S GO WHERE IT REALLY MEANS.
• 25:16 135 A.D. EMPEROR HADRIAN RENAMES EVERYTHING.
• 25:21 AELIA CAPITOLINA AND THEN PALESTINE.
• 25:23 UP UNTIL 1964 EVERYONE WAS A PALESTINIAN.
• 25:28 ONLY UNTIL 1964 WHEN ARAFAT REALLY MADE IT AN ISSUE DID IT BECOME A PROBLEM.
• 25:34 THERE IS NO PALESTINIAN MONEY.
• 25:36 UNTIL ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO, THERE WASN'T A PALESTINIAN FLAG.
• 25:41 THERE IS NO PALESTINIAN LANGUAGE, IT'S ALL ARABIC.
• 25:45 THE DEVIL USES WHAT HE HAS TO USURP THE JEWS.
• 25:49 TODAY, INDIVIDUALS SPEAK OF THE "PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY".
• 25:52 I PERSONALLY LIKE "BIBLICAL AUTHORITY". >>RIGHT.RIGHT.
• 25:54 NOW LOOKING IN THIS BOOK
• 25:56 IT'S KNOWN AS "ERETZ YISRAEL",
• 25:58 THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
• 25:59 THE IMPOSITION OF PALESTINE DID DESIGNATE THE REAL ESTATE
• 26:03 OF SOMETHING THAT COMES FROM HADRIAN, >>RIGHT.
• 26:05 A ROMAN EMPEROR IN 2ND CENTURY. >>RIGHT.
• 26:07 AND THEN IT FALLS INTO DISUSE UNTIL REVIVED IN THE MODERN ERA.
• 26:12 BUT YOU KNOW THE "JERUSALEM POST" AT ONE TIME
• 26:16 WAS CALLED "THE PALESTINIAN POST".
• 26:18 THE PALESTINIANS, THE ARABS THAT LIVED IN ISRAEL AT THAT TIME
• 26:21 DID NOT WANT TO BE CALLED PALESTINIANS.
• 26:23 THEY WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH THE JEWS.
• 26:25 THIS IS ALL A "PR" THING, IS ALL IT IS.
• 26:28 HOW CAN I GET THE JEW OUT OF THE LAND? THAT'S ALL IT IS.
• 26:31 RIGHT. I'M CONCERNED WITH REVISIONIST VIEWS OF HISTORY >>RIGHT.
• 26:33 THAT IMPOSE AN UNDERSTANDING OF A WORLD THAT'S NOT THERE. >>RIGHT.
• 26:36 BUT THIS IS OUR VIEW AND I'M REALLY GLAD FOR IT.
• 26:38 THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
• 26:40 AND SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM,
• 26:42 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
