Caption transcript for “Looking back at 2010,” Part 1

• 00:16 BRETHREN, MY HEART’S DESIRE AND PRAYER TO GOD FOR ISRAEL
• 00:20 IS THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED.
• 00:23 FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK.
• 00:25 FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM.
• 00:41 HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
• 00:42 JEFFREY SEIF HERE
• 00:43 PLEASED TO WELCOME YOU
• 00:45 TO A VERY SPECIAL EDITION
• 00:46 OF ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 00:48 SPECIAL EDITION
• 00:49 BECAUSE IT’S A YEAR END EDITION
• 00:51 DURING WHICH TIME WE GET TO REFLECT SOMEWHAT WHERE WE’VE BEEN IN THE YEAR.
• 00:56 AND WE’VE BEEN ALL OVER THE LAND OF ISRAEL
• 00:58 POKING CAMERAS INTO INTERESTING PLACES AND GETTING INTERVIEWS WITH VERY INTERESTING PEOPLE.
• 01:06 SPEAKING OF INTERESTING PLACES,
• 01:07 BEHIND ME IS THE CITY IN THAT SONG
• 01:10 “O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM”.
• 01:13 WELL IT’S GETTING A LITTLE BIGGER I MIGHT ADD.
• 01:15 AND WE’RE IN THERE REPORTING WHAT’S HAPPENING THERE AND ROUND ABOUT,
• 01:19 FOR INSTANCE, JERUSALEM,
• 01:20 JUST A LITTLE NEIGHBORING CITY.
• 01:22 WE’RE ALL ABOUT GETTING YOU TO SEE PLACES AND PEOPLE.
• 01:26 AND SPEAKING OF PEOPLE,
• 01:27 ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS THIS PAST YEAR
• 01:29 WAS OUR INTERVIEW WITH DAN AYALON, A MINISTER,
• 01:32 IN FACT, A FORMER AMBASSADOR FROM ISRAEL AND NOW A DEPUTY TO THE PRIME MINSTER.
• 01:38 WHAT A GUY!
• 01:39 HE’S GOING TO GIVE YOU A WINDOW INTO UNDERSTANDING WHY ISRAEL
• 01:42 IS FOREVER LAMBASTED IN THE PRESS AND IN THE WORLD.
• 01:47 HERE IN ISRAEL, OF COURSE,
• 01:48 WE APPRECIATE VERY MUCH THE
• 01:50 LEADERSHIP OF THE UNITED STATES,
• 01:52 THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHICH ARE
• 01:55 IN MY MIND THE MOST DECENT,
• 01:57 THE MOST COURAGEOUS
• 01:58 IN THE WORLD.
• 01:59 THEY ARE THE ONES
• 02:01 WHO COULD STAND
• 02:03 AND ACTUALLY DID STAND
• 02:05 AGAINST WORLD INJUSTICE
• 02:07 WHETHER IT WAS NAZISM
• 02:08 OR WHETHER IT WAS COMMUNISM,
• 02:10 AND NOW TERRORISM.
• 02:12 AND WE ARE PROUD TO BE
• 02:15 THE UNITED STATE’S BEST FRIEND
• 02:17 AND ALLY HERE IN THIS REGION
• 02:19 AND I BELIEVE BEYOND.
• 02:20 I’M PUZZLED WHY…
• 02:22 IT DEFIES REASON
• 02:24 THAT PEOPLE JUST WANT TO BE
• 02:25 HELL-BENT ON CASTIGATING
• 02:27 JEWS AND ISRAEL
• 02:29 BECAUSE THERE’S SUCH A STRONG…
• 02:31 I MEAN THERE’S ANOTHER SIDE
• 02:32 TO THE STORY.
• 02:33 WHY DOESN’T THE WORLD
• 02:35 WANT TO HEAR IT?
• 02:36 OR WHY DON’T PEOPLE
• 02:37 WANT TO TELL IT?
• 02:38 DO YOU HAVE ANY SENSE OF THAT?
• 02:40 IT CONFUSES ME.
• 02:41 WELL, FIRST OF ALL
• 02:42 I WOULD SAY IT’S BECAUSE
• 02:44 THIS AUTOMATIC MAJORITIES
• 02:46 THAT THE ARABS
• 02:47 AND ISLAMIC COUNTRIES AND
• 02:49 NON-DEMOCRATIC COUNTRIES HAVE.
• 02:50 LOOK THERE ARE 22 ARAB COUNTRIES
• 02:53 WHICH ARE VOTING AS ONE BLOCK.
• 02:57 THESE 22 ARAB COUNTRIES,
• 02:58 THE ARAB LEAGUE COUNTRIES,
• 03:00 ARE A PART OF THE LARGER GROUP
• 03:03 CALLED THE “OIC”,
• 03:05 “ORGANIZATION OF ISLAMIC STATES”
• 03:07 WHICH HAS 57,
• 03:08 SO ALL READY YOU HAVE 57 VOTES
• 03:11 AGAINST ISRAEL
• 03:12 OR AGAINST THE UNITED STATES
• 03:14 OR EUROPE FOR THAT MATTER.
• 03:15 THIS 57 ARE YET PART OF
• 03:18 A LARGER GROUP THAT USED
• 03:20 TO BE CALLED THE “GROUP OF 77”
• 03:22 OR “THE NON-ALIGNED”.
• 03:23 NOW THERE ARE 118 COUNTRIES
• 03:26 IN THIS GROUP.
• 03:27 SO ALREADY YOU HAVE
• 03:28 AN AUTOMATIC MAJORITY…
• 03:29 118 COUNTRIES OUT OF
• 03:31 TOTAL OF 192 MEMBER STATES
• 03:34 IN THE UNITED NATIONS.
• 03:36 YOU HAVE ALREADY
• 03:37 AN AUTOMATIC MAJORITY
• 03:38 AND CAN TELL YOU
• 03:40 THAT IF THE DECIDED TODAY
• 03:42 TO PASS A RESOLUTION
• 03:43 THAT EARTH IS FLAT
• 03:44 THEY WILL SUCCEED.
• 03:46 NOW WHY DO THEY SUCCEED?
• 03:48 BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE VOTES.
• 03:50 BUT ALSO THERE IS NO REAL…
• 03:53 I WOULD SAY…
• 03:55 CONSCIENCE…
• 03:59 WORLD CONSCIENCE…
• 04:00 A BEACON THAT WOULD BE
• 04:02 OF DECENCY AND HOPE
• 04:03 ASIDE FROM THE UNITED STATES
• 04:05 THAT WOULD CALL THEIR BLUFF
• 04:07 AND WOULD CASTIGATE THEM.
• 04:09 AND THIS IS BECAUSE
• 04:11 MAYBE THERE ARE SOME SPLITS
• 04:12 AMONG WESTERN DEMOCRACIES…
• 04:15 MAYBE ITS BECAUSE OF CONVENIENCE
• 04:17 MAYBE BECAUSE OF LAZINESS…
• 04:19 MAYBE SOME BECAUSE OF
• 04:21 VERY NARROW INTERESTS,
• 04:24 SHORT TERM INTERESTS…
• 04:25 THEY DO NOT WANT TO
• 04:26 UPSET THE ARABS…
• 04:27 THEY ARE DEPENDENT
• 04:31 ON OIL SUPPLY…
• 04:32 THINGS LIKE THAT.
• 04:33 BUT IN THE LONG RUN
• 04:35 IT IS VERY, VERY…
• 04:39 VERY, VERY URGENT
• 04:42 AND VERY, VERY IMPORTANT
• 04:44 THAT COUNTRIES,
• 04:46 LIKE MINDED COUNTRIES…
• 04:48 DECENT PEOPLE
• 04:49 WOULD PULL TOGETHER.
• 04:51 OTHERWISE DIVIDED WE FALL,
• 04:53 UNITED WE CAN NOT ONLY SURVIVE
• 04:57 BUT THRIVE.
• 05:00 WELL THERE YOU HEARD FROM A STATE LEADER.
• 05:03 AND NOW I WANT YOU TO HEAR AGAIN FROM A CHURCH FEEDER.
• 05:06 LANCE LAMBERT SPEAKS TO CHURCHES ALL OVER THE WORLD.
• 05:10 AND WHEN IT COMES TO FRIENDS OF ISRAEL WITHIN THE CHRISTIAN WORLD
• 05:15 FEW ARE MORE INTRANSIGENT THAN HIM IN HIS RESOLUTE SUPPORT
• 05:20 FOR WHAT GOD IS DOING HERE AMONGST THE PEOPLE IN THE LAND.
• 05:25 YOU KNOW MINISTRIES, MINISTERS,
• 05:26 TEND TO WANT TO PROMOTE THEMSELVES,
• 05:28 BUT I WANT YOU TO HEAR PEOPLE BETTER THAN ME.
• 05:30 SO OFF WE GO IN A SECOND AND YOU’RE GOING TO HEAR FROM LANCE.
• 05:33 DAVID DOLAN, FORMER CBS CORRESPONDENT, INTERVIEWS HIM
• 05:38 AND I WANT YOU TO HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY
• 05:41 AND LET IT GET INTO THE HEAD AND THEN DOWN TO THE HEART.
• 05:43 OFF WE GO NOW TO LANCE LAMBERT.
• 05:48 I REMEMBER VERY WELL
• 05:50 WHEN I WAS…
• 05:52 I COULDN’T HAVE BEEN
• 05:54 MORE THAN 14 OR 15…
• 05:56 I REMEMBER ALLEN REDPATH
• 05:58 GETTING VERY STEAMED UP
• 06:00 ONE SUNDAY MORNING
• 06:02 GRIPPING THE SIDES OF THE PULPIT
• 06:04 AND SAYING,
• 06:05 “AS SURE AS I STAND HERE”
• 06:07 “GOD WILL JUDGE THE BRITISH EMPIRE AND THE BRITISH ISLES”
• 06:13 “FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE.”
• 06:15 HE SAID, “AT THIS VERY TIME”
• 06:17 “THE ROYAL AIR FORCE IS BOMBING SURVIVORS OF THE HOLOCAUST”
• 06:22 “AND THE ROYAL NAVY IS SHELLING THEM AND RAMMING THEIR SHIPS.”
• 06:26 HE SAID, “AND THEN THEY’RE TAKEN”
• 06:28 “EITHER INTO CYPRUS OR INTO MAURITIUS.”
• 06:32 AND HE SAID, “THE TIME WILL COME WHEN THERE WILL BE NO EMPIRE”
• 06:38 “AND BRITAIN WILL BE AN OFFSHORE ISLAND OF EUROPE.”
• 06:45 AND I REMEMBER SOME PEOPLE GETTING UP AND WALKING OUT
• 06:49 AND I THOUGHT THEY MIGHT BE…
• 06:51 I WAS ONLY A KID…
• 06:52 I THOUGHT OH THEY’VE GOT LUNCHEON APPOINTMENTS,
• 06:55 THE PASTOR IS GOING ON RATHER LATE
• 06:57 AND SO THEY’RE OFF TO THEIR LUNCHEON APPOINTMENTS.
• 07:00 ACTUAL FACT I LEARNED LATER
• 07:03 THAT THEY WERE PATRIOTS
• 07:05 WHO WERE HORRIFIED THAT THE PASTOR COULD SAY SUCH A THING
• 07:10 ABOUT THE GREAT BRITISH EMPIRE UPON WHICH THE SUN NEVER SET.
• 07:14 BUT THE SUN DID SET ON IT.
• 07:17 AND IT SET ON IT EXACTLY THE TIME THAT ISRAEL BECAME A STATE IN 1948.
• 07:25 THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE DISILLUSION OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE.
• 07:28 I HAVE SAID AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS
• 07:32 THAT AMERICA IS HEADING EXACTLY FOR THE SAME SITUATION.
• 07:37 WELL LANCE THAT’S A VERY STRONG STATEMENT.
• 07:40 IT MIGHT BE SHAKING SOME OF THE VIEWERS IN AMERICAN RIGHT NOW.
• 07:45 HOW CLOSE DO YOU THINK WE MIGHT BE TO SUCH AN UNLEASHING OF JUDGMENT?
• 07:49 VERY, VERY CLOSE…
• 07:50 VERY CLOSE INDEED.
• 07:52 I PERSONALLY BELIEVE AND I SAY THIS VERY CAREFULLY…
• 07:57 THE BLAME FOR THIS SITUATION LIES AT THE DOOR OF THE CHURCH IN AMERICA.
• 08:08 HOW SO?
• 08:09 SHE HAS BEEN MORE INTERESTED IN WALL TO WALL CARPETING,
• 08:13 MINISTERS OF EDUCATION,
• 08:14 MINISTERS OF YOUTH,
• 08:16 MINISTERS OF OLD AGE,
• 08:17 MINISTERS OF EVERYTHING…
• 08:18 WONDERFUL ENTERTAINMENT…
• 08:20 MARVELOUS CHOIRS…
• 08:22 GREAT MUSIC ON ORGANS, PIANOS AND EVERYTHING ELSE
• 08:27 AND HAS NOT UNDERSTOOD THAT THEY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE NATION IN WHICH THEY’RE FOUND.
• 08:36 THE CHURCH ON THE WHOLE WITH GLORIOUS EXCEPTIONS THROUGHOUT NORTH AMERICA,
• 08:44 BOTH UNITED AND CANADA HAS BEEN ASLEEP.
• 08:48 IT’S TRUE THAT A NUMBER OF EVANGELICAL LEADERS WENT TO MR. BUSH TO WARN HIM.
• 08:57 BUT BY AND LARGE THE CHURCH HAS BEEN ASLEEP.
• 09:02 BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT THE UNITED STATES WOULD NEVER FALL,
• 09:07 WOULD NEVER COLLAPSE
• 09:09 AND THAT IT’S AN IMPOSSIBILITY…
• 09:11 JUST LIKE PEOPLE THOUGHT BRITAIN COULD NEVER COLLAPSE…
• 09:13 IT’S AN IMPOSSIBILITY.
• 09:15 IT SEEMS SO.
• 09:16 ALSO AT THE TIME…
• 09:18 MAJOR EMPIRES.
• 09:19 YES AND LOOK AT THE AMERICAN DOLLAR…
• 09:22 IT’S VIRTUALLY LOSING ITS VALUE.
• 09:26 WE REALLY FEEL IT OVER HERE IN ISRAEL.
• 09:28 ABSOLUTELY WE DO.
• 09:29 AND I MEAN NOW THERE IS REAL TALK
• 09:32 AS TO WHETHER TO CHANGE THE DOLLAR TO ANOTHER CURRENCY…
• 09:36 I MEAN THAT’S UNBELIEVABLE…
• 09:39 THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR.
• 09:42 AND I MIGHT JUST ADD TO THIS
• 09:45 THAT JERUSALEM IS THE BOTTOM LINE IN THIS WHOLE CONFLICT.
• 09:50 THE REAL CONFLICT IN BATTLE IS OVER JERUSALEM…
• 09:57 INDEED I CAN BE MORE SPECIFIC…
• 10:01 IT IS OVER ONE SQUARE MILE…
• 10:05 IT IS THE TEMPLE MOUNT
• 10:08 WHERE THE HOUSE OF THE LORD ONCE STOOD.
• 10:11 THAT IS THE KEY TO THIS CONFLICT.
• 10:14 THERE WILL BE NO PEACE
• 10:16 BECAUSE THE PALESTINIANS AND THE ISLAMIC WORLD
• 10:19 INSISTS ON HAVING JERUSALEM AND THE TEMPLE MOUNT
• 10:27 AND ISRAEL FINDS IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LET GO OF JERUSALEM.
• 10:33 AFTER ALL THE WORD “JERUSALEM” DOESN’T OCCUR ONCE IN THE KORAN.
• 10:40 LANCE LAMBERT IS A CHURCH LEADER…
• 10:42 SPEAKS TO CHURCHES AS I’D SAID PREVIOUSLY
• 10:44 AND YOU HEARD HIM SPEAK VERY DIRECTLY.
• 10:47 I LIKE BOLD SPEECH, BY THE WAY,
• 10:49 I THINK IN THIS WORLD
• 10:50 IT’S IN VERY HIGH DEMAND
• 10:52 AND VERY SHORT SUPPLY.
• 10:54 MANY MINISTERS ARE WORRIED ABOUT HOW TO PROTECT THEIR PULPITS AND PROTECT THEIR JOBS.
• 10:57 LANCE LAMBERT SEEMS TO WANT TO BE A GUARDIAN OF THE TRUTH
• 11:00 AND SO SOMETIMES HE SAYS THINGS THAT ARE RATHER DIRECT.
• 11:03 AND I SAY KUDOS TO HIM…
• 11:05 SOMEONE I WANT TO EMULATE.
• 11:07 WELL IN ADDITION TO HEARING FROM CHRISTIAN LEADERS,
• 11:10 WE HEAR FROM JEWISH LEADERS
• 11:11 BECAUSE WE WANT YOU TO HEAR PEOPLE THAT YOU WOULDN’T OTHERWISE HEAR
• 11:15 AND LEVI CHAZAN IS JUST ONE PERSON.
• 11:18 YOU KNOW I’M ALL ABOUT TAKING PEOPLE TO ISRAEL
• 11:20 AND WE TAKE THEM TO THE STANDARD GARDEN VARIETY HOLY LAND TOUR SITES.
• 11:25 BUT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT
• 11:27 WE LIKE PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF ISRAEL THAT ARE OFF THE BEATEN PATH.
• 11:32 LEVI CHAZAN’S PLACE IS NOT ONLY OFF THE PATH BUT WHAT HE IS ALL ABOUT IS OFF THE CHARTS.
• 11:39 OFF THE CHARTS THAT IS IF YOU DON’T HAVE A BIBLE IN HAND.
• 11:42 AND THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT IS LEVI CHAZAN IS PARTICIPATING IN THE REMANUFACTURE…
• 11:48 NOW LISTEN TO THIS…
• 11:49 THIS IS SUPER COOL…
• 11:51 HE IS PARTICIPATING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SCHOOL,
• 11:54 A FIELD SCHOOL,
• 11:56 WHERE RABBIS ARE TRAINING PRIESTS TO OFFICIATE IN THE SANCTUARY…
• 12:03 ALL THIS IN ANTICIPATION OF A REBUILT SANCTUARY.
• 12:07 FRIENDS LET ME TELL YOU, THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS ARE PROFOUND.
• 12:11 OFF WE GO NOW TO LEVI CHAZAN.
• 12:15 OKAY, WE’RE LOCATED ABOUT
• 12:16 20 MINUTES OUT OF JERUSALEM
• 12:17 IN A SETTLEMENT CALLED
• 12:19 “MIZPAH YERICHO”
• 12:20 WHICH IS RIGHT OUTSIDE OF JERICHO, OVERLOOKS JERICHO.
• 12:24 AND WHAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED OVER HERE
• 12:28 AND WHAT WILL BE ON THE PREMISES
• 12:31 IS A FIELD SCHOOL
• 12:32 THAT IS GOING TO BE THE PREPARATIONS
• 12:35 FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE THIRD TEMPLE.
• 12:37 AND THIS FIELD SCHOOL IT IS VERY UNIQUE.
• 12:39 WE WILL TRAIN PRIESTS AND KOHANIM, LEVITES,
• 12:42 IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN THEIR WORK IN THE TEMPLE SERVICE IN JERUSALEM.
• 12:47 I THINK THIS IS A FASCINATING STORY.
• 12:50 YOU LIVE IT AND BREATHE IT
• 12:52 AND PARTICIPATE IN IT DAY AFTER DAY.
• 12:55 SO IT’S JUST…
• 12:56 I’M NOT SAYING IT’S PEDESTRIAN OR MUNDANE, IT CERTAINLY ISN’T,
• 12:59 BUT TO THINK FOR A MOMENT…
• 13:01 THERE’S A VISION TO RE-GATHER THE PRIESTHOOD,
• 13:05 TO BUILD A SCHOOL, TO TRAIN,
• 13:07 TO PREPARE FOR SACRIFICES…
• 13:09 THAT’S INCREDIBLE.
• 13:11 YOU HAVE TO REALIZE
• 13:12 THAT THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 13:13 HAVE BEEN OUT OF TOUCH
• 13:14 FOR THE LAST 2,000 YEARS,
• 13:16 NOT ONLY SEPARATED
• 13:17 FROM THE LAND,
• 13:18 BUT SEPARATED
• 13:19 FROM THEIR SERVICE.
• 13:20 AND A GREAT ASPECT OF
• 13:21 THE JEWISH PEOPLE’S SERVICE,
• 13:23 WHICH IS LISTED IN THE BIBLE,
• 13:24 IS THE SERVICE WHICH TOOK PLACE
• 13:27 IN THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM.
• 13:29 IT WAS A MAIN, MAIN PART OF THE JEWISH PEOPLES LIVES,
• 13:32 THEIR CYCLE, THEIR HOLIDAYS WHENEVER IT WAS,
• 13:34 EVERYTHING CENTERED AROUND THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM.
• 13:38 JEWISH PEOPLE HAVE BEEN OUT OF TOUCH WITH THAT.
• 13:41 THEY’VE BEEN AWAY FROM THAT…
• 13:43 THEY’VE BEEN REMOVED FROM ANYTHING REMOTELY RESEMBLING ANY TYPE OF SERVICE IN THE TEMPLE
• 13:49 AND WHAT WE’RE DOING OVER HERE
• 13:50 IS TO GET THEM RENEWED WITH THIS WORK,
• 13:53 TO PREPARE THEM IN ORDER TO TEACH THEM ALL THE ASPECTS OF THE TEMPLE SERVICE ITSELF,
• 13:59 WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO,
• 14:00 WHERE THEY HAVE TO GO
• 14:02 AND WE ARE PLANNING HERE TO RAISE A GENERATION OF PRIESTS AND LEVITES
• 14:06 THAT WILL BE ABLE WHEN THE TIME COMES TO WORK IN THE TEMPLE SERVICE IN JERUSALEM.
• 14:11 MR. CHAZAN WHAT ARE THE LINES HERE ALL ABOUT?
• 14:14 AND WHAT’S UP WITH THE STONES?
• 14:15 THIS IS ACTUALLY WHERE THE GROUND BREAKING WAS DONE A FEW DAYS AGO.
• 14:22 AND THIS IS BASICALLY THE BASE OF THE ALTAR ITSELF.
• 14:25 THE FIRST STAGE OF THE FIELD SCHOOL IS TO BUILD THE ALTAR.
• 14:29 THAT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THE FIELD SCHOOL.
• 14:31 AND WHAT YOU SEE OVER HERE IS THE LINE MARKINGS,
• 14:33 IS EXACTLY WHERE THE SITE OF THE ALTAR WILL BE.
• 14:36 AND SO WHAT WE’VE DONE OVER HERE
• 14:38 IS STARTED CONSTRUCTION ON THE ALTAR
• 14:40 AND THAT’S THE PILE THAT YOU CAN SEE OVER WITH THE HOLE
• 14:44 AND IS ACTUALLY…
• 14:46 IT’S ACTUALLY VERY HISTORICAL
• 14:47 BECAUSE WHEN KING DAVID FIRST CAME TO JERUSALEM
• 14:50 THE FIRST THING THAT HE DID,
• 14:51 OUR RABBIS OF BLESSED MEMORY
• 14:53 TEACH US,
• 14:54 IS THAT HE DUG UNDER
• 14:56 THE TEMPLE MOUNT ITSELF
• 14:58 IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH THE OUTLET
• 15:00 FOR THE WINE AND WATER LIBATIONS
• 15:03 WHICH WERE POURED ON THE ALTAR.
• 15:05 ON TOP OF THE ALTAR,
• 15:06 THERE WAS TUNNELS
• 15:07 WHICH LED UNDERGROUND
• 15:08 THAT KING DAVID HIMSELF
• 15:10 ACTUALLY DUG THOSE TUNNELS OUT
• 15:12 IN ORDER TO PREPARE IT.
• 15:13 SO THE FIRST STAGE THAT WE’VE DONE IS ALSO MADE A HOLE IN THE GROUND
• 15:17 IN ORDER TO PREPARE OUR MODEL OVER HERE FOR THE WINE AND WATER LIBATIONS.
• 15:21 I AM ASTOUNDED.
• 15:24 A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO THE NEWS CREWS WERE HERE ADVERTISING A STORY…
• 15:29 THERE WAS SOME GROUND BREAKING…
• 15:31 I CAN STILL SEE THE CHALK LINES
• 15:33 HERE WHERE THE MITZBE’ACH,
• 15:35 WHERE THE ALTAR IS GOING TO BE.
• 15:36 YOU SEE OVER HERE
• 15:38 THIS IS THE HILL THAT’S RIGHT BEHIND US
• 15:40 WITH THE ONE TO ONE SCALE OF THE TEMPLE AND THE ALTAR INSIDE OF IT.
• 15:45 AND WHAT WE’RE BUILDING OVER HERE THE MODEL,
• 15:47 YOU HAVE TO REALIZE, THIS IS NOT JUST A SMALL VERSION OF IT,
• 15:50 THIS IS ACTUALLY ONE TO ONE SCALE OF THE SAME TEMPLE
• 15:53 WHICH WAS IN JERUSALEM 2,000 YEARS WHICH STOOD THERE.
• 15:57 WE’RE TALKING ABOUT A BUILDING WHICH IS ABOUT 20 STORIES HIGH.
• 16:02 JUST THE ALTAR ITSELF IS FIVE METERS
• 16:05 AND IT’S A HUMONGOUS TASK,
• 16:07 IT’S AN UNBELIEVABLE TASK TO UNDERTAKE.
• 16:09 AND WE PLAN TO BUILD IT OVER HERE IN THIS MOUNTAIN.
• 16:12 YOU CAN SEE OVER HERE THE BLUEPRINTS FOR THE ALTAR ITSELF.
• 16:15 THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE MAIN PART OF THE WORK OF THE FIELD SCHOOL
• 16:19 BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE MOST OF THE WORK OF THE PRIESTS TOOK PLACE, WAS ON THE ALTAR ITSELF.
• 16:26 WE ALSO HAVE THE BLUEPRINTS OF THE TEMPLE ITSELF OF THE FIELD SCHOOL EXACTLY THE WAY IT WAS
• 16:33 SITUATED IN YERUSHALAYIM IN ITS PROPER PLACE.
• 16:35 WE READ THE BIBLE;
• 16:36 WE STUDY ABOUT KING DAVID AND HIS TIME PERIOD.
• 16:39 AND KING DAVID HIMSELF TALKED ABOUT
• 16:42 HOW CAN I LIVE
• 16:43 IN MY WELL ESTABLISHED HOUSE
• 16:45 WHEN THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD
• 16:46 IS A TENT?
• 16:47 AND WE SAY TO OURSELVES HOW COULD IT BE THAT HERE WE ARE,
• 16:50 WE ARE IN OUR WELL ESTABLISHED HOUSES TODAY
• 16:52 60 YEARS AFTER THE FACT
• 16:53 THAT THE JEWS HAVE RETURNED
• 16:54 TO THE LAND
• 16:56 AND WHERE IS
• 16:57 THE HOUSE OF GOD TODAY?
• 16:58 WHAT IS BEING DONE
• 16:59 TO THE HOUSE OF GOD?
• 17:00 AND WE HAVE NO ANSWER FOR THAT.
• 17:02 SO WE’RE TAKING CONCRETE STEPS
• 17:04 IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY
• 17:05 START THE PROCESS
• 17:06 OF THE THIRD TEMPLE RIGHT HERE.
• 17:08 FOR THE FIRST JEWS CAME HERE
• 17:09 TO ESTABLISH THE LAND,
• 17:10 IT WAS ALSO
• 17:11 THEY ROLLED UP THEIR SLEEVES
• 17:12 AND THEY ROLLED IN THE DIRT,
• 17:14 THEN THEY HAD TO MAKE ROADS
• 17:15 AND THEY HAD CONSTRUCT HOUSES.
• 17:17 EVERYTHING THAT HAD TO BE DONE WAS DONE
• 17:20 AND ONCE WE HAVE THIS BASE
• 17:22 THE NEXT NATURAL STEP IS REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE FOR GOD.
• 17:27 THE STORY OF THE TABERNACLE
• 17:30 IS AN ENDURING ONE
• 17:31 AND AS A BIBLE COLLEGE PROFESSOR
• 17:34 FOR 21 YEARS,
• 17:35 WHEN I GAVE STUDENTS THE
• 17:37 OPPORTUNITY TO WRITE TERM PAPERS
• 17:39 SO MANY CHRISTIAN STUDENTS
• 17:40 WANTED TO WRITE ABOUT THE MISHKAN,
• 17:42 THIS PORTABLE WORSHIP FACILITY,
• 17:45 THAT’S NOTED IN THE BOOK “SHEMOT” IN EXODUS
• 17:47 WHERE MOSHE RABBANI,
• 17:49 WHERE MOSES IS GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS TO MANUFACTURE THIS PORTABLE WORSHIP CENTER.
• 17:53 NOT ONLY THAT, BIBLE STUDENTS ARE INTERESTED
• 17:56 IN THE MORE PERMANENT FIXTURE THAT WAS ESTABLISHED WITH SOLOMON’S PARTICIPATION
• 18:01 AND LATER ON THE HERODIAN TEMPLE THAT EXISTED IN JESUS’ DAY
• 18:05 WHICH WAS FELLED OF COURSE IN A.D. 70 THERE WAS A REVOLT.
• 18:10 THERE WAS A REVOLT AND WE HAVEN’T SEEN IT SINCE.
• 18:13 WELL SO MUCH FOR HISTORY.
• 18:16 TO SPEAK TO THE MOMENT,
• 18:18 AND LEVI CHAZAN HAS,
• 18:19 THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE BENT ON REBUILDING,
• 18:23 RE-ENGAGING THE STORY OF GOD AT WORK IN THE WORLD
• 18:29 MANIFEST THROUGH THE MISHKAN,
• 18:31 THROUGH THIS PORTABLE WORSHIP FACILITY.
• 18:34 I WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO TEACH ABOUT IT.
• 18:36 AND THE REASON WHY I WANT TO DO THAT
• 18:38 IS BECAUSE IT’S A STORY THAT HAS SOME 25 CHAPTERS ALLOCATED IN THE BIBLE.
• 18:44 THAT’S NO SMALL AMOUNT OF TEXT BY THE WAY, THE BIBLE WANTING TO GIVE VOICE TO GOD’S HOME.
• 18:49 AND THE RE-PRESENTATION OF INDIVIDUALS BENT ON WORKING IT UP AGAIN,
• 18:54 TO ME IS JUST SO VERY FASCINATING.
• 18:57 WELL TO LOOK AT THE FIRST STORY IN CHAPTER 25 OF EXODUS WE’RE TOLD,
• 19:13 AND WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE
• 19:15 IS THEY’RE GATHERING MONIES IN EFFECT
• 19:19 TO BUILD TOGETHER THIS WONDERFUL TESTIMONY.
• 19:24 AND WE’RE TOLD IN VERSE 8,
• 19:32 ITS INTERESTING,
• 19:33 BEHIND ME IS BETHLEHEM
• 19:34 AND THE DOCTRINE OF THE INCARNATION,
• 19:37 TO USE THE JOHANNINE GOSPEL,
• 19:39 THE GOSPEL OF JOHN,
• 19:40 WE’RE TOLD THAT THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND DWELT AMONG US,
• 19:43 THAT GOD IN EFFECT TOOK ON AN EARTH SUIT.
• 19:46 HE TOOK ON SOME KIND OF FORM THAT HUMANS CAN IDENTIFY WITH.
• 19:50 THAT’S THE ARGUMENT IN THE PERSON OF YESHUA, JESUS.
• 19:52 WELL THAT ARGUMENT ISN’T ENTIRELY NEW
• 19:55 BECAUSE WHEN WE LOOK IN THE HEBREW BIBLE
• 19:58 WE DISCOVER THAT GOD WANTS TO COME AND MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN VISUALLY IN SOME SENSE.
• 20:02 AND SO HE’S VERY DELIBERATE HERE, HE SAYS,
• 20:05 “LET THEM MAKE ME A SANCTUARY”,
• 20:06 AND WHY IS THAT?
• 20:08 BECAUSE,
• 20:09 “I WANT TO DWELL AMONG THEM.”
• 20:11 BUT HE’S VERY SPECIFIC IN VERSE 9,
• 20:22 IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE LORD WASN’T MINDED TO LET THEM EMPLOY
• 20:25 A LOT OF CREATIVE IMPOSITION ON THE STORY.
• 20:29 THERE’S A SPECIFIC WAY THAT GOD WANTED IT DONE.
• 20:33 WELL THE HEBREW BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THE WAY THAT IT’S TO BE DONE
• 20:36 AND THE MISHNAH EXPANDS ON THAT SOME
• 20:38 AND LETS INDIVIDUALS SEE HOW JEWS CONSTRUED IT.
• 20:41 THAT’S ONE OF THE REASONS BY THE WAY THAT LEVI CHAZAN’S STORY IS SO VERY FASCINATING
• 20:45 BECAUSE WE’RE LOOKING AT PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE HEBREW BIBLE ON THE ONE HAND,
• 20:49 THE JEWISH TRADITION ON THE OTHER
• 20:51 AND VERY METHODICALLY, VERY DETAILED ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN SHOWN
• 20:55 THEY’RE LOOKING STEP BY STEP BY STEP TO PARTICIPATE IN THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE.
• 21:02 NOW FOR THOSE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN JESUS
• 21:04 THIS IS A FASCINATING STORY
• 21:05 BECAUSE JESUS’ SECOND COMING IS CONNECTED.
• 21:08 JESUS REAPPEARANCE ON THE STAGE OF THE HUMAN DRAMA
• 21:11 IS PLAYED OUT AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF A WORLD WHERE THERE’S A RE-BUILT TEMPLE.
• 21:15 THERE’S A VARIETY OF REASONS WHY I SAY THAT.
• 21:17 I’M NOT GOING TO EXPLORE IT MUCH HERE AS I GO OUT ON THIS SEGMENT.
• 21:21 BUT JUST SO YOU KNOW YOU HEARD IT FROM ME
• 21:23 THAT THE RE-PRESENTATION OF TEMPLE WORSHIP IS INDEED SIGNIFICANT.
• 21:27 IN FACT YOUR PARTICIPATION WITH US IS SIGNIFICANT IN MY MIND’S EYE AS WELL.
• 21:34 YOU KNOW THAT LEVI CHAZAN AND INDIVIDUALS AT THE TEMPLE INSTITUTE
• 21:38 AND THOSE THAT ARE ENGAGED IN ALL OF THIS
• 21:40 ARE RELYING UPON FUNDS FROM ALL OVER THE JEWISH WORLD TO HELP RESURRECT THAT STORY.
• 21:44 SIMILARLY…
• 21:45 AND I’LL TELL YOU THIS IN A MOMENT…
• 21:47 THAT WE NEED FUNDS AS WELL
• 21:49 TO HELP TELL TO THE STORY
• 21:51 OF GOD AT WORK IN THE WORLD
• 21:52 OVER IN THE STATES
• 21:53 IN OUR OWN UNIQUE
• 21:54 ZOLA LEVITT MINISTRIES WAY.
• 21:56 WELL WE LIVE IN INTERESTING TIMES DON’T WE?
• 21:58 AND THE FACT THAT THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS HERE IN ISRAEL
• 22:00 BENT ON REBUILDING THE TEMPLE
• 22:03 AND TRAINING UP TO SERVICE ON THE “MITZBE’ACH”, ON THE ALTAR,
• 22:06 TELLS ME WE’RE LIVING IN VERY INTERESTING TIMES.
• 22:09 I’M PLEASED TO BE HERE TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THOSE TIMES
• 22:12 AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY.
• 22:25 WE HAD OVER 80 NATIONS REPRESENTED AT THIS YEAR’S FEAST,
• 22:28 MORE THAN 5,000 CHRISTIAN.
• 22:29 YOU MENTIONED 700 – 800 BRAZILIANS,
• 22:33 I THINK YOU ALSO HAVE TO TIP YOUR HAT TO COUNTRIES LIKE NORWAY AND FINLAND
• 22:38 AND FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD…
• 22:39 FROM AFRICA, FROM ASIA …
• 22:40 WE HAD FLAGS FROM HONG KONG,
• 22:42 FROM THAILAND, LOVELY GROUP…
• 22:44 FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
• 22:46 THESE ARE CHRISTIANS WHO COME UP FOR A DYNAMIC WORSHIP EXPERIENCE,
• 22:49 THE VERY PROFOUND BIBLE TEACHING THAT WE HAVE.
• 22:51 BUT MOST OF ALL THEY WANT TO GO OUT IN THE JERUSALEM MARCH EACH YEAR
• 22:55 AND EXPRESS THEIR LOVE TO ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE OUT ON THE STREETS.
• 23:00 THAT’S OUR BELIEF THAT THERE WILL BE ONE TEMPLE.
• 23:03 THAT’S WHAT WE YEARN FOR…
• 23:05 THAT’S WHAT WE PRAY FOR EVERY SINGLE DAY…
• 23:06 THAT THERE WILL BE A REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE.
• 23:08 WE FEEL THAT IT’S CLOSER AS THE TIMES BECOME MORE DIFFICULT.
• 23:11 AND WHAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED OVER HERE,
• 23:15 WHAT WILL BE ON THIS PREMISES
• 23:17 IS A FIELD SCHOOL
• 23:19 THAT IS GOING TO BE THE
• 23:21 PREPARATIONS FOR THE BEGINNING
• 23:22 OF THE THIRD TEMPLE.
• 23:24 THE TIME IS COMING VERY CLOSE
• 23:25 THAT GOD
• 23:27 AND MESSIAH HAS COME HIMSELF
• 23:29 TO HELP RESOLVE THESE PROBLEMS.
• 23:33 WELL THERE YOU GO.
• 23:34 I’VE SHOWED YOU SOME OF WHAT WE’VE DONE IN 2010.
• 23:38 NOW I WANT TO SHOW YOU A SEGMENT IN A MOMENT
• 23:40 OF WHAT WE’RE COOKING UP FOR 2011.
• 23:43 WE FILMED IT AT THE END OF 2010
• 23:45 BUT IT TAKES AWHILE TO GO THROUGH THE EDITORIAL PROCESS.
• 23:48 IT’S A SERIES THAT IS REALLY DEAR TO MY HEART
• 23:51 AND I’M SURE IT’LL BE DEAR TO MANY OF YOURS
• 23:54 AND I WANT IT TO BE DEAR TO THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE A LITTLE CLUELESS OF WHAT’S THAT.
• 23:58 I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE LAND OF ISRAEL AND GOD’S PLANS FOR THE PEOPLE AND THE PLACE.
• 24:05 AND I WANT TO DO THIS IN PART TO COUNTER-BALANCE THE INSANITY.
• 24:10 IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IN THE CONTEST FOR PUBLIC OPINION,
• 24:13 TRUTH IS THE FIRST CASUALTY OF THAT WAR.
• 24:17 AND THE WAY JEWS ARE FOREVER LAMBASTED,
• 24:20 THE WAY ISRAEL’S DRUG THROUGH THE MUD,
• 24:22 FRANKLY I FIND IT HORRIFIC.
• 24:25 AND SO WITH YOUR HELP…
• 24:26 YOUR DONATIONS HELPED US
• 24:28 TO GET HERE…
• 24:29 AND WE WENT ALL ABOUT THE LAND
• 24:30 WITH AN OPEN BIBLE.
• 24:32 WE INTERVIEWED INDIVIDUALS,
• 24:33 WE HAD MEDIA CORRESPONDENTS
• 24:35 SPEAK TO US AS WELL
• 24:37 AND ITS ALL ABOUT GIVING
• 24:38 SOME BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE ON
• 24:40 THE WORLD THAT WE ARE LIVING IN.
• 24:42 AND EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT LIVING HERE, YOU’RE SEEING IT.
• 24:45 ITS AMAZING HOW ISRAEL’S SO SMALL
• 24:47 BUT THE ATTENTION IT OCCUPIES IN THE WORLD IS SO LARGE.
• 24:51 OFF WE GO NOW TO LOOK AT SOME SEGMENTS FOR OUR SERIES
• 24:54 THAT WILL BE AIRING IN 2011
• 24:56 CALLED “ERETZ, ISRAEL: THE LAND OF ISRAEL”.
• 25:08 WHEN WE LOOK IN THE BIBLICAL TEXT
• 25:10 WE KNOW THAT GOD GAVE THE LAND OF ISRAEL TO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL
• 25:14 AND THEY HAD TO GO CONTEND FOR IT.
• 25:15 WE’RE AT THE SOUTHERN END OF THE GOLAN HEIGHTS
• 25:18 WHERE WE HAVE INTENSE BATTLES IN 1967.
• 25:21 WE’RE TALKING ABOUT SYRIA BEING JUST A FEW MILES HERE.
• 25:23 WE’RE TALKING ABOUT JORDAN BEING RIGHT BEHIND US HERE AS WELL.
• 25:27 JOSHUA TURNED THEM BACK
• 25:29 AND HE TOOK HAZOR AND HE STRUCK ITS KING WITH THE SWORD
• 25:34 AND OH MY WORD FRIENDS
• 25:36 THERE WAS QUITE A BATTLE THAT WAS FOUGHT HERE.
• 25:40 IT SEEMS LIKE IT’S PROPHESY BEING FULFILLED
• 25:42 WITH ISRAEL EMERGING AMIDST ALL THESE TENSIONS.
• 25:45 THE SYRIANS DEMANDING THAT ISRAEL EVACUATE THIS PLATEAU.
• 25:49 THERE IS PIECES AS I’D SAID BETWEEN JORDAN AND ISRAEL
• 25:51 BUT CERTAINLY NOT THIS OTHER ONE
• 25:53 AND WHERE IT WILL END UP WE DON’T KNOW
• 25:54 BUT THE FACT THAT WE’RE AT A BASE
• 25:56 AND THESE GUYS ARE ON THE LOOK OUT ALL THE TIME
• 25:58 JUST ILLUSTRATES THAT THAT BATTLE STILL GOES ON.
• 26:01 THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL HAVE HAD CONTEND FOR LIFE
• 26:04 EVER SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THEIR NATIONAL LIFE.
• 26:07 IT’S A STORY THAT BEGAN YESTERDAY,
• 26:10 IT’S A STORY THAT’S PLAYED OUT TODAY
• 26:13 AND IT’S A STORY THAT HAS PROPHETIC IMPORT FOR TOMORROW.
• 26:20 MOST MINISTRIES THAT DO TELEVISION
• 26:22 BRING THE CAMERAS IN TO THEIR WORLD;
• 26:25 TYPICALLY A SANCTUARY
• 26:26 AND YOU HAVE A DYNAMIC BIBLE
• 26:27 TEACHER THAT WAXES ELOQUENT
• 26:29 WITH A BIBLE IN ONE HAND
• 26:31 AND SPEAKING FORCEFULLY BEHIND A PULPIT.
• 26:33 I’M ALL GOOD TO GO WITH THAT…
• 26:35 I’M NOT BEGINNING WITH A CRITICISM.
• 26:36 I’M JUST TRYING TO SAY
• 26:38 WE DON’T BRING YOU INTO OUR WORLD WITH CAMERAS,
• 26:40 WE BRING YOU INTO THE WORLD
• 26:42 AND NOT ONLY THE WORLD AT LARGE
• 26:43 BUT THE CENTER OF THE WORLD
• 26:45 AND THAT IS ISRAEL.
• 26:46 AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING,
• 26:48 ITS NOT CHEAP DOING IT.
• 26:51 AS YOU MIGHT WELL IMAGINE
• 26:52 TO BRING FILM CREWS
• 26:53 ALL ACROSS THE WORLD
• 26:54 AND THE FILMING, THE EDITING,
• 26:57 IT’S VERY, VERY EXPENSIVE.
• 26:59 YOU KNOW PEOPLE SAY JEWS ARE
• 27:01 ALL ABOUT GOING AFTER THE MONEY
• 27:03 BUT IF YOU’VE BEEN
• 27:04 FOLLOWING US AT ALL
• 27:05 YOU KNOW FULL WELL
• 27:06 WE NEVER DO IT.
• 27:08 FOR ME FUND RAISING
• 27:09 IS NOT “FUN” RAISING
• 27:10 BUT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS
• 27:11 THOUGH IT’S NOT A LOT OF FUN
• 27:13 SOMEONE’S GOT TO DO IT.
• 27:14 AND USUALLY
• 27:15 AT THE END OF THE YEAR
• 27:16 IS THE TIME WHEN WE DO DO IT.
• 27:17 AND I NEED YOUR HELP
• 27:18 TO TELL THIS KIND OF STORY
• 27:20 BECAUSE THIS ISN’T A “ME” THING,
• 27:22 IT’S A “WE” THING.
• 27:23 AND IF THIS RESONATES
• 27:24 IN YOUR HEART
• 27:25 I’M SIMPLY AN EXTENSION
• 27:27 OF PASSIONS THAT
• 27:28 RESONATE WITHIN IN YOU.
• 27:29 AND IF ITS THERE IN THE HEART
• 27:31 PLEASE AS AN EXTENSION
• 27:32 OF WHAT’S IN YOUR HEART,
• 27:34 NOT CAJOLED BY ME
• 27:35 BUT AS AN EXTENSION

• 27:46 BUT IT’S A “WE” THING THAT
• 27:47 TOGETHER WHAT WE’RE TRYING TO DO
• 27:49 IS COUNTER-BALANCE
• 27:50 THE INSANITY IN THIS WORLD.
