Millions of American Evangelicals are praying for the State of Israel. Among them are the Binghams, a dynasty of Kentucky pastors, and their Evangelical congregants in an impoverished coal mining town. They donate sacrificially to Israel’s foremost philanthropic organization, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, because they fervently believe the Jews are crucial to Jesus’s return. This film traces this unusual relationship, from rural Kentucky to the halls of government in Washington, through the moving of the American Embassy in Jerusalem and to the annexation plan of the West-Bank. With unparalleled access, the film exposes a stunning backstory of the Trump and Netanyahu administrations, where financial, political and messianic motivations intersect with the apocalyptic worldview that is insistently reshaping American foreign policy toward Israel and the Middle-East.
Video Librarian
"Zinshtein includes telling interviews from the Ecksteins and the Binghams while drawing incisive portraits of the communities they lead and makes excellent use of news footage to explain the wider religious and political context in which they operate. This is an engrossing documentary on a provocative subject. Recommended."
Educational Media Reviews Online (EMRO) | Barb Kundanis, Longmont Public Library, Longmont, CO
"Worth a look for a behind the scenes view of how Evangelicals influence policy and the state of Israel in the future. Recommended for religion courses teaching both these topics."
Jewish Film Review
"The explosive blend of fanaticism, hypocrisy and cynicism exposed here is mind-boggling."
MAKO
"Outstanding, important and disturbing."
Filmmaker Magazine
"[A] cinematic exercise in Orwellian logic."
Screen Daily | Jonathan Romney
"A toxic mix of fundamentalist religion and real world politics is examined soberly but startlingly."
The New York Times | Til Kingdom Come’ Review: An Unusual Religious Bond
"'’Til Kingdom Come,' the new documentary by Maya Zinshtein, probes the entanglements of politics and prophecy that bind two strange bedfellows: American evangelical Christians and Israeli Jews."
The New York Times | American Evangelicals, Israeli Settlers and a Skeptical Filmmaker
"Illuminates what the director calls an 'unholy alliance' that sharply altered the Israeli-Palestinian conflict during the Trump administration ... The film is likely to teach Christian and Jewish audiences in the United States a great deal about subjects they may have thought they already understood — including how American politics really work."
The Hollywood Reporter
"Illuminating and disturbing"

00:01:04.333 --> 00:01:07.208
Shakespeare said \'there\'s a tide
in the affairs of men\'.
00:01:10.083 --> 00:01:11.500
And that tide is God.
00:01:14.375 --> 00:01:17.083
God puts kings on their thrones
and He takes them off.
00:01:20.918 --> 00:01:24.583
The eight years under Obama, it was
tough for Evangelicals.
00:01:25.708 --> 00:01:27.500
We felt like we were forgotten.
00:01:30.708 --> 00:01:32.418
Trump spoke to people like me,
00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:35.750
and he literally took a whole
segment of society
00:01:35.833 --> 00:01:40.208
that felt like they\'d been abandoned.
They\'d been left behind.
00:01:42.250 --> 00:01:46.458
People in metropolitan areas
or more affluent areas
00:01:46.543 --> 00:01:49.958
look down on people in Appalachia.
00:01:51.208 --> 00:01:52.958
Like we\'re not as smart.
00:01:53.625 --> 00:01:57.543
And you know, we
hear all the jokes.
00:01:58.668 --> 00:02:02.375
I mean, I\'m not so naive to think
that he didn\'t capitalize on that.
00:02:02.458 --> 00:02:03.668
He did.
00:02:08.458 --> 00:02:11.208
We are the people that brought
Donald Trump to power.
00:02:11.750 --> 00:02:14.668
And he pushes our agenda.
00:02:33.458 --> 00:02:37.918
Will the circle be unbroken
00:02:38.043 --> 00:02:42.293
By and by, Lord, by and by,
00:02:42.543 --> 00:02:46.875
There\'s a better home awaiting
00:02:47.083 --> 00:02:50.668
In the sky, Lord, in the sky...
00:02:50.750 --> 00:02:53.168
Welcome to Songs of Inspiration.
00:02:53.250 --> 00:02:56.958
I\'m so delighted that you chose
to listen to WMIK Radio
00:02:57.043 --> 00:02:59.625
located here in Bell County,
Kentucky.
00:03:00.125 --> 00:03:03.918
My name is Thomasa Risner
and I\'m the hostess for your program...
00:03:04.418 --> 00:03:07.333
As I listen to news reports from Israel,
00:03:07.708 --> 00:03:12.500
I heard about the bombings, and
they were bombings even near children.
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.918
When we see all of these things
happening to the nation of Israel,
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.168
it should give us all hope.
00:03:19.250 --> 00:03:21.333
That when we hear of these wars,
00:03:21.418 --> 00:03:22.918
we can look up
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.208
and see that our redemption
will be coming.
00:03:26.375 --> 00:03:30.583
And friend, I don\'t know about you,
but I look and I long
00:03:31.250 --> 00:03:34.333
for the King of Kings
to come from Heaven.
00:03:34.958 --> 00:03:38.125
Sky, Lord
00:03:38.208 --> 00:03:41.293
in the
00:03:42.708 --> 00:03:48.833
sky.
00:03:56.958 --> 00:04:01.708
O Lord, my God,
00:04:02.125 --> 00:04:08.500
when I in awesome wonder
00:04:09.168 --> 00:04:13.208
consider all...
00:04:13.293 --> 00:04:16.293
I believe there\'s events
on God\'s calendar
00:04:17.083 --> 00:04:19.168
concerning the return of the Messiah.
00:04:21.043 --> 00:04:23.875
And it\'s all tied to the Holy Land.
00:04:27.793 --> 00:04:31.168
You alright this morning?
Good to see you.
00:04:31.375 --> 00:04:34.668
My grandfather became Pastor here in 1950.
00:04:34.918 --> 00:04:37.833
He was a staunch supporter of Israel.
00:04:38.418 --> 00:04:39.833
And after he passed away,
00:04:39.918 --> 00:04:43.125
that mission has grown
exponentially more under my father.
00:04:43.543 --> 00:04:44.875
God\'s got a plan.
00:04:45.333 --> 00:04:48.458
If you can see His plan
with a Biblical worldview,
00:04:48.668 --> 00:04:50.000
then you can say,
00:04:51.043 --> 00:04:54.000
\"I believe I can put my life in His hands.\"
- Yes...
00:04:54.458 --> 00:04:58.293
It\'s a unique experience,
being a successor to someone.
00:04:58.500 --> 00:05:00.168
There\'s a gravity to it.
00:05:01.250 --> 00:05:04.625
So I would be the third generation
that\'s pastored here.
00:05:05.208 --> 00:05:08.000
And anybody that\'s ever been
to our church would know,
00:05:08.168 --> 00:05:11.418
there\'s a spiritual obligation
of a Christian to Israel.
00:05:12.043 --> 00:05:14.793
God gave a promise in Genesis Chapter 12,
00:05:14.875 --> 00:05:17.918
\"and I\'m going to bless all
of those that bless you
00:05:18.083 --> 00:05:20.668
and I\'m going to curse
all of them that curse you.\"
00:05:20.793 --> 00:05:23.125
Every nation that has blessed Israel,
00:05:23.208 --> 00:05:24.668
God has blessed them.
00:05:24.750 --> 00:05:27.168
And every nation that has opposed Israel,
00:05:27.333 --> 00:05:29.958
God has been in opposition to them.
00:05:30.043 --> 00:05:32.333
And I\'m going to stand up for Israel
00:05:32.418 --> 00:05:33.833
and if that offends you,
00:05:33.958 --> 00:05:36.083
you\'re in the wrong church this morning.
00:05:37.043 --> 00:05:41.000
To see Him rise
00:05:41.125 --> 00:05:44.958
But I was there
00:05:45.083 --> 00:05:48.750
when He saved my soul
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:52.875
For within my heart
00:05:53.125 --> 00:05:57.250
this lamb arose
00:05:59.708 --> 00:06:01.918
We expect God to bless our church
00:06:02.293 --> 00:06:04.583
because we help the nation of Israel.
00:06:05.168 --> 00:06:09.083
He proved to be
00:06:09.293 --> 00:06:14.000
my victory
00:06:15.375 --> 00:06:17.875
There rose a lamb
00:06:17.958 --> 00:06:22.875
in Jerusalem
00:06:29.583 --> 00:06:31.708
Mom sent you over here to get me.
00:06:36.500 --> 00:06:37.958
Be careful now.
00:06:38.668 --> 00:06:40.250
You guys okay this evening?
00:06:40.333 --> 00:06:41.458
Yes.
00:06:41.543 --> 00:06:42.625
Alright.
00:06:43.500 --> 00:06:45.125
Every good thing we know,
00:06:45.750 --> 00:06:48.043
all the things we love about the Bible,
00:06:48.250 --> 00:06:52.833
they were given to us
of the Jewish nation, Israel.
00:06:52.958 --> 00:06:56.793
Their people, the Jews,
are better than all of us.
00:06:57.583 --> 00:06:59.293
They\'re better than all of us,
00:06:59.375 --> 00:07:01.208
and you need to accept that.
00:07:01.625 --> 00:07:03.918
A lot of people hate Israel.
00:07:04.418 --> 00:07:05.833
The Arab countries,
00:07:05.918 --> 00:07:07.958
and they want to drive them into the sea
00:07:08.083 --> 00:07:10.918
but we know that God
will not cast away His people.
00:07:11.125 --> 00:07:13.918
When Jesus said salvation is of the Jews,
00:07:14.418 --> 00:07:15.750
he was right.
00:07:15.918 --> 00:07:18.333
Alright, one more question.
Who wants to ask it?
00:07:23.418 --> 00:07:24.958
When are we going to get done?
00:07:33.708 --> 00:07:40.168
This is where... with the kids...
where we start our indoctrination.
00:07:41.418 --> 00:07:44.333
I know that\'s a strong word
to use, indoctrination.
00:07:44.418 --> 00:07:49.125
That it gets such a bad reputation,
00:07:49.668 --> 00:07:51.793
but that\'s where it starts.
00:07:52.958 --> 00:07:54.708
That\'s where it started with me,
00:07:54.833 --> 00:07:58.918
when I was a child,
that I was taught about the support
00:07:59.043 --> 00:08:01.500
that the church owes to Israel.
00:08:06.250 --> 00:08:09.958
So all your loose change
that you have from home,
00:08:10.293 --> 00:08:12.458
you bring that change to school.
00:08:12.543 --> 00:08:14.918
Everything that we get,
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.168
we will actually cash it in,
00:08:17.418 --> 00:08:21.833
and make a check out to
the Fellowship for Christians and Jews
00:08:22.250 --> 00:08:25.918
and so far you guys are doing a good job!
00:08:27.293 --> 00:08:29.375
Do you think it\'s strange for parents here
00:08:29.458 --> 00:08:32.668
that their kids are asked
to donate money to my country?
00:08:33.333 --> 00:08:34.708
I don\'t think so.
00:08:34.918 --> 00:08:36.168
I mean...
00:08:39.168 --> 00:08:41.000
I mean, maybe, I don\'t know.
00:08:41.083 --> 00:08:43.543
Maybe they\'re
some people that would say,
00:08:43.625 --> 00:08:48.668
Well, what does the church
have any business helping Israel?
00:08:50.293 --> 00:08:51.583
I don\'t care what those people think.
00:08:51.668 --> 00:08:54.583
I know what\'s right and I know
what we\'re going to keep doing.
00:08:54.668 --> 00:08:57.958
As long as I\'m here, we\'re going
to keep helping the Fellowship.
00:09:28.043 --> 00:09:29.418
So we\'re going to go in,
00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:31.875
and basically the goal here
is to give her the food box
00:09:31.958 --> 00:09:35.208
and to be able to show to people in America
00:09:35.833 --> 00:09:37.708
the situation that\'s going on here.
- I got it. Let\'s go for it.
00:09:37.793 --> 00:09:39.208
Okay, let\'s go in.
00:09:40.125 --> 00:09:41.668
You okay with that?
It\'s heavy.
00:09:43.583 --> 00:09:48.043
Beautiful.
Thank you! Thank you!
00:09:48.208 --> 00:09:49.543
I Love you.
00:09:50.083 --> 00:09:51.293
It\'s from the donors overseas.
00:09:51.375 --> 00:09:55.083
They are Christians who love Israel.
00:09:55.168 --> 00:09:57.793
You know how much they love you?
- I have pictures with them.
00:09:57.875 --> 00:10:00.375
So, you\'ve heard about
Christians who love Israel? -Yes!
00:10:04.458 --> 00:10:07.375
When I told Edna
that this food box is from Christians,
00:10:07.458 --> 00:10:08.500
she said \"I know,
00:10:08.583 --> 00:10:11.375
I know they\'re Christians
and they\'re not Jewish
00:10:11.458 --> 00:10:13.668
and I know that they love me
and I know that this is from them\".
00:10:13.750 --> 00:10:15.543
She was so excited,
and she just wants to say
00:10:15.625 --> 00:10:18.083
\"thank you, thank you, thank you.\"
00:10:28.250 --> 00:10:32.208
I\'ve been swept under the table
and I\'m invisible.
00:10:34.125 --> 00:10:38.000
I\'m just going to tell your story
to the camera in English.
00:10:38.250 --> 00:10:41.458
A 77 year old woman who was
in a terror attack,
00:10:41.543 --> 00:10:43.543
can\'t afford a pair of shoes
00:10:43.625 --> 00:10:45.793
because otherwise
she\'ll have to give up her food.
00:10:46.083 --> 00:10:48.500
She said \'I\'m suffering every single day.
00:10:48.625 --> 00:10:52.083
There\'s no one here to help me
except for the Fellowship,
00:10:52.168 --> 00:10:53.543
except for you guys.
00:10:53.625 --> 00:10:56.500
You are the only ones here
who are helping me.\'
00:10:59.668 --> 00:11:04.083
Today, Christians are the largest supporters
of humanitarian projects in Israel
00:11:04.668 --> 00:11:07.458
through the International Fellowship
of Christians and Jews.
00:11:10.208 --> 00:11:13.293
From food and medicine to security.
00:11:14.458 --> 00:11:16.125
You can\'t throw a stone in Israel
00:11:16.208 --> 00:11:18.458
without it landing
next to a Fellowship project.
00:11:37.750 --> 00:11:41.708
God has supplied the International
Fellowship of Christians and Jews
00:11:41.833 --> 00:11:43.833
with amazing partners.
00:11:44.168 --> 00:11:46.793
It\'s truly nothing short of a miracle.
00:11:46.875 --> 00:11:49.750
It is a miracle and we\'ve become
00:11:50.418 --> 00:11:56.375
the largest humanitarian
philanthropy here in the State of Israel.
00:11:56.958 --> 00:12:02.043
But all of this is only possible
when you partner with us.
00:12:04.708 --> 00:12:06.583
Me and my father are a really good team,
00:12:07.543 --> 00:12:09.583
because we kind of complete each other.
00:12:09.708 --> 00:12:13.250
Could you tell us a little bit about where
we are right now? What\'s behind us?
00:12:14.168 --> 00:12:16.583
You\'re a rabbi, you know these things!
00:12:17.958 --> 00:12:21.500
He\'s the authority. He\'s the rabbi.
00:12:22.500 --> 00:12:25.083
I\'m just kind of following
in his footsteps.
00:12:27.043 --> 00:12:29.668
But just as how in two thousand years
00:12:29.750 --> 00:12:32.333
Christians and Jews were apart
00:12:32.418 --> 00:12:35.418
and Christians were persecuting Jews,
00:12:35.750 --> 00:12:39.500
and nobody would have thought
that the day would come
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:42.208
when Christians would be our friends...
00:12:42.375 --> 00:12:44.833
For the first time in history,
00:12:44.918 --> 00:12:48.293
we\'re able to have a relationship with
all these Christians who love Israel.
00:12:48.918 --> 00:12:53.833
That is only because of what
my father started 37 years ago.
00:12:54.958 --> 00:12:56.543
Here we are, Christians and Jews,
00:12:56.625 --> 00:12:59.875
after that long intervening history
of two thousand years,
00:12:59.958 --> 00:13:01.833
which was not always such a good one,
00:13:02.668 --> 00:13:05.668
coming together to demonstrate solidarity.
00:13:06.125 --> 00:13:08.668
Back when my father
started the organization,
00:13:09.833 --> 00:13:12.958
the Jewish community thought
my father was crazy,
00:13:13.750 --> 00:13:18.043
because of all the stigmas that
Evangelical Christians had.
00:13:18.418 --> 00:13:22.043
They were part of the KKK
and white supremacists,
00:13:22.125 --> 00:13:23.708
that they were extremists...
00:13:23.793 --> 00:13:25.208
Focus on the need to break through
00:13:25.293 --> 00:13:28.958
some of the stereotypes that we
tend to have of one another,
00:13:29.293 --> 00:13:33.500
stereotypes that have been brewing
for two thousand years.
00:13:33.583 --> 00:13:34.958
I remember I was always so nervous
00:13:35.043 --> 00:13:38.583
when my teachers would ask like
\"So what does your father do for a living?\"
00:13:38.708 --> 00:13:42.750
I would always like put my head down.
I hope she doesn\'t call on me.
00:13:43.583 --> 00:13:47.543
Back then my father didn\'t have
health insurance, he didn\'t have a salary.
00:13:47.625 --> 00:13:49.333
His friend who was a lawyer
gave him a room
00:13:49.418 --> 00:13:51.833
in back of the law firm to work out of.
00:13:52.043 --> 00:13:54.083
Every day he would run to the mailbox
00:13:54.168 --> 00:13:57.000
and if there were two pieces of mail
he\'d be so excited
00:13:57.083 --> 00:13:59.958
and he\'d open it up
and there\'d be a ten dollar check.
00:14:00.875 --> 00:14:04.333
But then, after a few years
he met the televangelists.
00:14:04.793 --> 00:14:07.125
It\'s the 700 Club.
00:14:07.750 --> 00:14:11.043
Here\'s your host Pat Robertson.
00:14:13.583 --> 00:14:16.583
We\'re going to be talking about
the most important land in all the world.
00:14:16.668 --> 00:14:19.000
You say, I thought that that was
Russia or the United States...
00:14:19.083 --> 00:14:20.083
No it isn\'t.
00:14:20.125 --> 00:14:23.250
We\'re going to be talking about Israel.
That\'s the land of the Bible
00:14:23.625 --> 00:14:25.250
Yechiel came
00:14:25.543 --> 00:14:29.750
and was telling me about the bonds
that he wanted to establish
00:14:29.833 --> 00:14:33.250
the Fellowship, The Holy Land
Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:14:34.833 --> 00:14:37.168
I was so moved with what he wanted to do
00:14:37.250 --> 00:14:40.208
that I gave him
a fairly substantial contribution,
00:14:40.293 --> 00:14:43.958
which I understood
was the first one that he\'d received.
00:14:44.793 --> 00:14:48.500
And so Pat Robertson opened up
the Christian Broadcasting Network
00:14:48.668 --> 00:14:51.418
to host this whole telethon.
00:14:51.500 --> 00:14:53.083
Joining us today is a rabbi
00:14:53.168 --> 00:14:56.083
best known as a bridge builder
between Jews and Christians,
00:14:56.208 --> 00:14:58.625
Yechiel Eckstein, Good to see you again.
00:14:58.750 --> 00:15:00.168
Thanks Pat, it\'s good to be here.
00:15:00.250 --> 00:15:05.750
My father, he raised something like 4
million dollars in like 30 minutes.
00:15:06.708 --> 00:15:08.333
That\'s when he realized,
00:15:08.750 --> 00:15:11.418
these Christians want to be part of this.
00:15:28.458 --> 00:15:33.043
The Apostle Paul said
Jesus will come back to the Holy Land,
00:15:33.958 --> 00:15:36.583
and it\'ll be a marvelous day for the world
00:15:36.668 --> 00:15:40.418
and that\'s what the Evangelicals
believe and they want to support it.
00:15:45.125 --> 00:15:48.043
You know, I think Israelis
have mixed feelings
00:15:48.125 --> 00:15:50.668
about Christian involvement in our country.
00:15:50.958 --> 00:15:52.000
Do you feel that?
00:15:52.083 --> 00:15:55.708
So I definitely think that,
I think in the beginning
00:15:56.125 --> 00:15:58.293
the Israelis were very
scared of Christians.
00:15:59.083 --> 00:16:02.250
They didn\'t trust that they
weren\'t going to try to convert the Jews
00:16:02.333 --> 00:16:07.583
or use the Jews in a certain way
to fulfill a political objective of theirs.
00:16:08.208 --> 00:16:12.125
And so for many years
the Fellowship was very controversial.
00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:17.625
This is a terrible problem.
It is blurring the lines
00:16:17.708 --> 00:16:19.833
between an independent people,
00:16:20.168 --> 00:16:24.208
and a nation reliant on
Evangelical support.
00:16:24.543 --> 00:16:30.875
We shouldn\'t be so quick to eat up
this talk about \"support\"
00:16:30.958 --> 00:16:35.793
and we should ask don\'t they support
something which we\'ll pay for dearly?
00:16:36.083 --> 00:16:38.083
I don\'t want Rabbi Eckstein\'s money.
00:16:38.168 --> 00:16:41.543
The funds are donated by warmongers
00:16:41.625 --> 00:16:47.583
who are encouraging war
between Israel and the Muslim world.
00:17:04.750 --> 00:17:07.083
You remember what I\'ve shared with you
00:17:07.168 --> 00:17:10.458
about how Israel fits into
End Time prophecy?
00:17:10.875 --> 00:17:15.625
This is the most important geographical
place on the face of the Earth.
00:17:15.875 --> 00:17:18.333
This is where Jesus will return.
00:17:20.668 --> 00:17:24.833
The first sign was Israel being
reestablished nationally.
00:17:26.083 --> 00:17:29.708
And then there\'s going to be
great Tribulation in Israel.
00:17:30.208 --> 00:17:34.918
They\'re going to have wars,
natural disasters, disease,
00:17:35.458 --> 00:17:42.043
and Jerusalem will be trodden down until
the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
00:17:43.125 --> 00:17:46.208
As Christians we\'re going to be preserved.
00:17:46.333 --> 00:17:48.958
We\'re going up to be
with Him during that time.
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:51.668
That\'s the Rapture.
00:17:52.375 --> 00:17:55.625
And that\'s the wonderful hope that we have.
00:17:56.750 --> 00:18:01.750
So now we\'re watching End Times signs
for the Second Coming of Christ.
00:18:02.918 --> 00:18:04.458
And then after that
00:18:04.668 --> 00:18:07.333
there\'s going to be
an End Time battle
00:18:07.625 --> 00:18:10.043
that we studied and looked at
previously this year.
00:18:10.375 --> 00:18:14.625
This is going to be the culmination,
the battle of Armageddon.
00:18:17.543 --> 00:18:20.833
According to the final chapter
of the New Testament,
00:18:20.918 --> 00:18:25.250
the final battle of humanity is called
the battle of Armageddon.
00:18:25.625 --> 00:18:30.043
That battle will start from here at
mount Megiddo, or \"Armageddon.\"
00:18:30.125 --> 00:18:35.458
The battle will last seven years,
covering the streets with blood.
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:39.583
And what will happen to the Jews?
Two thirds of them will perish,
00:18:39.668 --> 00:18:43.750
and the remaining third will be
forced to convert to Christianity.
00:18:49.083 --> 00:18:52.668
People are asking,\"How will it end?
00:18:52.833 --> 00:18:54.500
When will it end?
00:18:54.625 --> 00:18:59.208
Does the Bible give us any indication
of what might be happening?\"
00:19:00.418 --> 00:19:04.083
Now Jesus said
before He comes back again,
00:19:04.168 --> 00:19:06.293
there will be great distress.
00:19:06.375 --> 00:19:11.918
This is called the Tribulation.
00:19:17.375 --> 00:19:19.500
God is watching every missile.
00:19:19.958 --> 00:19:22.708
When Israel is involved in major warfare,
00:19:22.793 --> 00:19:24.000
pay attention,
00:19:24.083 --> 00:19:27.750
because the eye of God is
on Jerusalem every day.
00:19:30.083 --> 00:19:32.125
When you see these signs,
00:19:32.208 --> 00:19:34.250
lift up your heads and rejoice.
00:19:34.458 --> 00:19:36.875
Your redemption draws nigh!
00:19:45.958 --> 00:19:48.250
Is there an elephant in the room?
Yeah.
00:19:49.793 --> 00:19:52.083
When the Christian community speaks
00:19:52.168 --> 00:19:55.083
about what they think is going to happen
and what they envision,
00:19:55.168 --> 00:19:58.125
I relate to 99% of it.
00:19:59.500 --> 00:20:01.708
But the end is different.
00:20:01.958 --> 00:20:03.668
Only one of us can be right.
00:20:16.750 --> 00:20:21.500
Evangelical Christianity is now the second
largest Christian movement in the world
00:20:21.583 --> 00:20:23.833
second only to Roman Catholicism.
00:20:24.668 --> 00:20:27.333
The minimum estimate
of Evangelicals around the world
00:20:27.418 --> 00:20:29.708
is 650 million
00:20:29.833 --> 00:20:32.168
and it\'s probably more like 800 million.
00:20:34.458 --> 00:20:38.083
American Evangelicals
are a voting bloc
00:20:38.168 --> 00:20:42.500
of 25 percent of the American population.
00:20:43.250 --> 00:20:47.125
Wouldn\'t we expect to be
better represented in government?
00:20:47.500 --> 00:20:50.293
So we have an Evangelical Vice President.
00:20:50.375 --> 00:20:52.833
We have an Evangelical Secretary of State.
00:20:53.125 --> 00:20:56.208
It is a never ending struggle
until the Rapture.
00:20:56.333 --> 00:20:58.458
Be part of it. Be in the fight.
00:20:59.833 --> 00:21:03.333
We\'re taught to translate
geopolitical realities
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:06.750
through the lens of prophecy.
00:21:18.043 --> 00:21:20.333
We absolutely believe,
00:21:20.625 --> 00:21:25.583
this land was given by God
00:21:25.668 --> 00:21:27.083
to the people of Israel.
00:21:29.125 --> 00:21:34.043
In 2016 the Trump Administration
approached the Christian community
00:21:34.168 --> 00:21:37.668
and said they wanted to form
an Evangelical advisory board
00:21:38.043 --> 00:21:42.168
and all of a sudden me
and two dozen other Evangelical advisors
00:21:42.250 --> 00:21:44.250
can make a direct call to the White House.
00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:47.293
The leaders asked several things:
00:21:47.375 --> 00:21:48.875
the Supreme Court,
00:21:49.875 --> 00:21:54.875
that he would strengthen the laws
protecting the unborn in the United States,
00:21:55.458 --> 00:22:00.333
and that he would move the embassy
from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
00:22:00.750 --> 00:22:02.000
A historic transition:
00:22:02.083 --> 00:22:06.043
the US Embassy in Israel officially
moves from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
00:22:06.125 --> 00:22:09.500
86 different countries
were invited to send delegations.
00:22:09.583 --> 00:22:10.918
Less than half did.
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.793
That underlines just how
controversial this embassy move is.
00:22:28.168 --> 00:22:33.458
On the Verge of Explosion
00:22:37.418 --> 00:22:43.418
Israel prepared massively for this event
from a security standpoint.
00:22:43.958 --> 00:22:47.833
The issue of Israeli sovereignty in
Jerusalem is an explosive issue.
00:22:47.918 --> 00:22:50.958
It is charged for the Israelis,
for the Palestinians,
00:22:51.043 --> 00:22:54.625
and for hundreds of millions
of Muslims around the world.
00:22:55.375 --> 00:22:59.708
So when the United States gets into
an issue like Jerusalem,
00:22:59.793 --> 00:23:03.500
it takes on a dimension of a religious war.
00:23:06.125 --> 00:23:09.793
We have no better friends in the world
00:23:09.875 --> 00:23:12.043
than the United States of America
00:23:12.125 --> 00:23:15.458
and the President
of the United States of America.
00:23:15.543 --> 00:23:16.958
There wasn\'t peace before this,
00:23:17.043 --> 00:23:19.123
so if it brings violence,
there already was violence.
00:23:19.168 --> 00:23:21.375
They never stopped trying to kill us.
00:23:21.500 --> 00:23:23.875
So now they might try even more but...
00:23:26.333 --> 00:23:28.375
Look at the list of speakers
here at this event
00:23:28.458 --> 00:23:32.000
which is a secular,
American government event,
00:23:32.083 --> 00:23:34.958
clerics, preachers, pastors
are key speakers here,
00:23:35.083 --> 00:23:37.168
it is not something you see every day.
00:23:37.293 --> 00:23:39.083
Everything that happens in this world
00:23:39.168 --> 00:23:41.125
is according to your sovereign plan,
00:23:41.208 --> 00:23:46.208
but how grateful we are that we got to
witness a part of that plan unfolding today.
00:23:46.750 --> 00:23:49.208
This is political Christianity
00:23:49.375 --> 00:23:54.583
in which politics is
a continuation of a prophetic vision.
00:23:54.958 --> 00:23:59.043
I think that to this day a lot of people
have not fully understood this.
00:24:01.583 --> 00:24:07.250
The State Department was so afraid
to move our Embassy to Jerusalem,
00:24:07.583 --> 00:24:12.293
but that to us was
a very important signal in prophecy.
00:24:12.375 --> 00:24:15.250
We\'ve been waiting for that
to happen for decades.
00:24:15.543 --> 00:24:19.293
It\'s the fulfillment of God\'s promise
of what He\'s going to do on Earth.
00:24:24.543 --> 00:24:30.043
Today we officially open the
United States Embassy in Jerusalem,
00:24:30.418 --> 00:24:35.918
the capital the Jewish people
established in ancient times.
00:24:36.333 --> 00:24:38.000
Congratulations.
00:24:42.625 --> 00:24:48.043
Peace will come upon us
Peace will come upon us
00:24:48.125 --> 00:24:50.918
Jerusalem is where Messiah will come
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:53.668
and establish a kingdom
that will never end.
00:24:53.750 --> 00:24:57.918
We thank you, oh Lord,
for President Donald Trump\'s courage.
00:24:58.333 --> 00:25:00.793
Can we all shout Hallelujah?
00:25:00.875 --> 00:25:02.958
Hallelujah!
- Amen!
00:25:21.668 --> 00:25:23.708
Palestinians angry about the move
00:25:23.793 --> 00:25:26.543
saying the US is no longer a partner
00:25:26.625 --> 00:25:28.125
in the peace process.
00:25:28.958 --> 00:25:30.250
Palestinian leaders warned
00:25:30.333 --> 00:25:33.543
that the embassy switch was an act of war.
00:25:35.250 --> 00:25:38.293
Deadly violence across
the Palestinian territories
00:25:38.375 --> 00:25:43.083
and scenes of bloodshed set against
the Jerusalem celebrations.
00:26:07.208 --> 00:26:09.375
It couldn\'t get any worse here, really.
00:26:10.668 --> 00:26:13.708
Everything is defined by the Occupation.
00:26:15.293 --> 00:26:18.543
And I think that with the move
of the American Embassy,
00:26:19.083 --> 00:26:21.583
we have reached a dead end here.
00:26:21.958 --> 00:26:24.375
God loves man without discrimination.
00:26:24.458 --> 00:26:27.583
He does not discriminate
between religions or races.
00:26:27.750 --> 00:26:30.958
He wants all humans to live in peace.
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:33.125
In the last ten years,
00:26:33.208 --> 00:26:36.625
we are witnessing
an increased level of involvement
00:26:36.708 --> 00:26:38.918
of Evangelicals in this land.
00:26:40.543 --> 00:26:42.500
They are many times surprised to know
00:26:42.583 --> 00:26:45.293
that us Palestinian Christians exist.
00:26:46.500 --> 00:26:50.668
But historically there has always been
a Christian presence here.
00:26:50.750 --> 00:26:54.708
The Evangelicals believe they
will be blessed by donating to Israel.
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:57.458
They are basically guided by the Scripture.
00:26:57.793 --> 00:27:02.375
But do you think they really understand
the complex situation in our region?
00:27:02.500 --> 00:27:06.168
No, many Christian Zionists,
when they look at
00:27:06.708 --> 00:27:08.375
Israelis and Jews,
00:27:09.043 --> 00:27:10.708
they are not aware of the context.
00:27:10.793 --> 00:27:12.875
They are not aware
of things on the ground here.
00:27:20.208 --> 00:27:22.793
When Evangelicals look at the West Bank,
00:27:24.333 --> 00:27:26.500
they look at the land as empty.
00:27:29.125 --> 00:27:33.168
And they\'re simply ignoring the continuous
occupation of the Palestinian people.
00:27:42.250 --> 00:27:44.208
When they look at the future,
00:27:44.918 --> 00:27:47.125
honestly, they see a horror movie.
00:27:48.333 --> 00:27:51.333
Armageddon and wars and battles.
00:27:52.750 --> 00:27:56.668
Their scenario is not that
in which they will help
00:27:56.750 --> 00:27:59.375
us Palestinians and Israelis coexist.
00:28:00.833 --> 00:28:06.083
When you see them advocating
for a regional war in the Middle East,
00:28:06.458 --> 00:28:09.125
which could be catastrophic for all of us,
00:28:09.375 --> 00:28:12.375
it\'s really scary, and we cannot
00:28:12.793 --> 00:28:16.125
underestimate their influence anymore.
00:28:17.168 --> 00:28:22.293
Draw me nearer
nearer blessed Lord...
00:28:22.375 --> 00:28:26.043
Just this past week, Donald Trump,
our President,
00:28:26.125 --> 00:28:30.793
recognized Jerusalem as
the capital of Israel.
00:28:30.875 --> 00:28:36.418
I\'m just so thrilled that God
is using President Trump
00:28:36.750 --> 00:28:39.208
to bless the nation of Israel.
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:41.500
The Bible says,
00:28:41.583 --> 00:28:43.750
\"I will bless those that bless Israel,
00:28:43.833 --> 00:28:46.500
and I will curse those that curse Israel.\"
00:28:46.750 --> 00:28:49.333
Well, I want to be on the blessing side
00:28:49.458 --> 00:28:52.000
because we need so much help.
00:28:52.083 --> 00:28:55.375
We are not a rich area.
00:29:05.625 --> 00:29:08.918
This area has become
like number eight or nine
00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:11.375
of worst counties in America to live in.
00:29:16.793 --> 00:29:21.500
The current situation in Middlesboro
is that we\'ve lost most of our coal jobs.
00:29:23.793 --> 00:29:26.583
Every fourth person is dealing
with some sort of addiction.
00:29:28.418 --> 00:29:31.375
The change probably started
when I was in high school,
00:29:31.793 --> 00:29:33.250
gradually moving down,
00:29:33.333 --> 00:29:36.750
and then we have a crash
five, six years ago.
00:29:38.750 --> 00:29:41.708
When I was a kid Middlesboro
was known as the Magic City.
00:29:42.918 --> 00:29:46.000
Unfortunately, it\'s not that way now.
00:29:48.250 --> 00:29:52.083
When you grow up somewhere
and you know everyone there.
00:29:52.208 --> 00:29:54.500
It becomes ingrained in you.
00:29:56.168 --> 00:30:01.375
I get offers for senior pastor positions
at other churches.
00:30:01.583 --> 00:30:03.250
I always refuse them.
00:30:04.083 --> 00:30:08.125
Because I want to be here.
This is where my heart\'s at.
00:30:08.375 --> 00:30:16.168
And when I think that God...
00:30:16.375 --> 00:30:19.083
I would like to be the source
of encouragement to them
00:30:19.418 --> 00:30:21.543
in the problems that they\'re dealing with.
00:30:21.875 --> 00:30:26.125
Sent Him to die,
00:30:26.208 --> 00:30:32.458
I scarce can take it in...
00:30:32.543 --> 00:30:34.458
We have the responsibility
00:30:34.543 --> 00:30:38.043
of the community\'s
spiritual and emotional health.
00:30:38.375 --> 00:30:43.375
My Savior God, to Thee
00:30:43.458 --> 00:30:46.043
And I know Jesus
can give them a lot of comfort.
00:30:46.125 --> 00:30:49.083
How great
00:30:49.208 --> 00:30:54.458
Thou art!
00:30:56.043 --> 00:30:58.043
I want to go back to the place
00:30:58.625 --> 00:31:00.333
where I was sick,
00:31:00.418 --> 00:31:01.958
where I almost died,
00:31:02.043 --> 00:31:03.543
where my kidneys shut down.
00:31:03.668 --> 00:31:05.708
It was a time of great suffering.
00:31:05.793 --> 00:31:07.668
A time of great depression.
00:31:07.750 --> 00:31:10.543
It was a great trial of my faith.
00:31:10.625 --> 00:31:13.958
It was the Lord hitherto
that has helped me
00:31:14.043 --> 00:31:15.793
and been on my side.
00:31:20.668 --> 00:31:24.208
Jesus never came across
a sick person that He did not heal.
00:31:24.293 --> 00:31:27.458
Jesus freely gave to all
that came across Him
00:31:27.543 --> 00:31:29.793
and he endured the cross.
00:31:36.418 --> 00:31:39.833
I was undergoing chemotherapy
when Elizabeth was born,
00:31:42.918 --> 00:31:46.918
because I had a tumor
on my spine and my rib.
00:31:49.043 --> 00:31:51.208
And then we found out about the cancer.
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:57.418
My doctor told me
I only had a year to live.
00:31:59.083 --> 00:32:01.043
That was ten years ago.
00:32:03.833 --> 00:32:05.500
I talk about it now,
00:32:05.833 --> 00:32:08.083
but I spent a lot of nights that I cried.
00:32:09.168 --> 00:32:10.875
I thought I was going to die.
00:32:11.750 --> 00:32:13.083
I felt like giving up.
00:32:15.168 --> 00:32:17.125
It definitely humbled me.
00:32:18.918 --> 00:32:22.208
So I said to God, if you let me live,
00:32:22.293 --> 00:32:24.293
I\'ll do nothing else but serve You.
00:32:24.875 --> 00:32:26.043
Nothing.
00:32:38.625 --> 00:32:43.708
On the invitation it said that
you had to wear a cocktail dress
00:32:43.875 --> 00:32:45.458
and I didn\'t know what that meant.
00:32:45.543 --> 00:32:47.625
So I Googled \"cocktail dress\",
00:32:48.333 --> 00:32:51.168
and it showed really, really casual.
00:32:54.500 --> 00:32:56.125
So that\'s what I brought,
00:32:56.208 --> 00:32:59.375
but now I think I might be
a little bit underdressed,
00:32:59.458 --> 00:33:02.668
with all of the Beverly Hills people.
00:33:03.083 --> 00:33:06.168
But when you\'re the one
giving out 5 million dollars
00:33:06.250 --> 00:33:07.793
you can wear whatever you want.
00:33:22.583 --> 00:33:24.543
Gerry, Gerry Butler.
00:33:25.543 --> 00:33:28.250
Gerry Butler is a superstar
in our country. Yes.
00:33:34.333 --> 00:33:37.083
Do you know who that is?
- No, but he\'s obviously someone famous.
00:33:37.168 --> 00:33:38.708
I think he\'s from Hollywood.
00:33:39.168 --> 00:33:41.958
I think he\'s really famous.
None of us know who he is.
00:33:46.293 --> 00:33:52.125
These are people here who are all some
of the most influential people in America.
00:33:53.958 --> 00:33:56.583
Sheldon Adelson and Haim Saban
00:33:56.668 --> 00:33:58.500
probably don\'t agree on much.
00:33:59.168 --> 00:34:05.543
And I\'m sure Haim disagrees with
a lot of what our donor base believes.
00:34:06.125 --> 00:34:08.458
But there\'s one thing that we agree on:
00:34:08.543 --> 00:34:09.793
Israel.
00:34:09.958 --> 00:34:13.625
Miri, Yael Eckstein.
- Hello, nice to meet you. An honor.
00:34:13.708 --> 00:34:18.043
I actually, I was with you at the
Hanukkah party at the White House,
00:34:18.125 --> 00:34:19.418
we met there.
00:34:19.708 --> 00:34:20.958
Jews are dwindling.
00:34:21.043 --> 00:34:24.168
How many Jews are there in Korea?
00:34:24.250 --> 00:34:27.000
And these Christians are still growing.
00:34:27.083 --> 00:34:29.458
There are 40 million in Brazil...
00:34:29.543 --> 00:34:30.918
the Philippines...
00:34:32.083 --> 00:34:35.168
I\'m going now to Singapore
which has a lot.
00:34:35.250 --> 00:34:38.125
It\'s a question.
Do we want to have
00:34:38.333 --> 00:34:42.543
more millions of Christians
standing with us?
00:34:43.418 --> 00:34:47.750
Israel and the US defend
democracy together.
00:34:48.625 --> 00:34:52.043
For 70 years, we\'ve stood together,
00:34:52.333 --> 00:34:54.333
side by side.
00:34:56.918 --> 00:34:59.793
Together, let\'s open our hearts,
extend our arms, and yes,
00:34:59.918 --> 00:35:03.958
dig into our wallets to do something
for those that protect Israel.
00:35:04.583 --> 00:35:08.750
I built the International Fellowship
of Christians and Jews
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:13.458
where Christians have given through us
00:35:13.625 --> 00:35:19.000
1.4 billion dollars to help
Israel and the Jewish people.
00:35:22.500 --> 00:35:27.208
And it\'s time for me to smell the roses,
00:35:27.333 --> 00:35:32.708
and start to enjoy my life
in a different way.
00:35:33.043 --> 00:35:37.293
And so I would like to turn
this microphone over
00:35:37.375 --> 00:35:43.168
to the next president of the International
Fellowship of Christians and Jews,
00:35:43.250 --> 00:35:45.043
Yael Eckstein.
00:35:47.918 --> 00:35:49.793
The next generation.
00:35:51.375 --> 00:35:57.083
It\'s my honor to announce,
on behalf of millions of Christians
00:35:57.168 --> 00:35:59.625
who love and stand with Israel,
00:35:59.708 --> 00:36:03.375
five million dollars towards the FIDF.
00:36:03.958 --> 00:36:06.250
Thank you so much. Thank you.
00:36:14.333 --> 00:36:18.668
My life literally ended up being
everything I\'ve never dreamed of.
00:36:19.793 --> 00:36:24.043
When I was younger,
I never really felt like I fit in anywhere.
00:36:26.293 --> 00:36:27.708
And I went out searching,
00:36:27.833 --> 00:36:32.543
and I went to festivals, and I went out
hitchhiking around America
00:36:32.625 --> 00:36:34.375
looking for freedom.
00:36:37.168 --> 00:36:39.708
My father,
he didn\'t know how to handle it
00:36:39.793 --> 00:36:41.918
and so he just gave me love,
00:36:42.208 --> 00:36:44.918
but I think part of him was also
really proud of me.
00:36:45.168 --> 00:36:47.083
He understood what I wanted.
00:36:47.333 --> 00:36:52.375
Both of us really needed to explore
and find our own connection
00:36:52.458 --> 00:36:54.918
to the world, to community, to God.
00:36:55.168 --> 00:36:56.375
To everything.
00:36:58.875 --> 00:37:01.293
My father is my hero.
00:37:01.543 --> 00:37:05.875
I want him to have a lot of peace
in his heart that he has a successor.
00:37:08.750 --> 00:37:11.208
Speaking of prophecy being fulfilled,
00:37:11.293 --> 00:37:14.293
we are honored to have
Yael Eckstein
00:37:14.375 --> 00:37:18.918
to come and speak to us about
the Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:20.500
I just think it\'s a miracle
00:37:20.583 --> 00:37:22.958
and I think you won\'t want to miss it.
00:37:23.750 --> 00:37:25.793
We have kids that live here
00:37:26.293 --> 00:37:27.750
that we pick up every week.
00:37:27.833 --> 00:37:29.433
They live here.
- That\'s where they live?
00:37:29.458 --> 00:37:32.083
Yeah. -that looks like
a house that\'s been abandoned.
00:37:32.168 --> 00:37:33.625
Not where people live.
00:37:33.708 --> 00:37:35.543
That\'s the way a lot of these houses look.
00:37:35.625 --> 00:37:37.375
Wow.
- And we have older sisters
00:37:37.458 --> 00:37:40.125
bringing in baby brothers and sisters
00:37:40.500 --> 00:37:44.543
just because the mom
doesn\'t want to watch them.
00:37:46.125 --> 00:37:50.333
What I\'ve seen, Pastor Boyd, is this
revelation of Genesis 12:3,
00:37:50.418 --> 00:37:56.000
that every church has to take care
of their own and the local
00:37:56.083 --> 00:37:59.500
but when they also give to Israel
00:37:59.583 --> 00:38:02.375
suddenly there\'s more to give.
00:38:02.458 --> 00:38:09.043
And that God has blessed us through
difficult financial times in our country.
00:38:09.293 --> 00:38:13.708
Our church has never felt
the vibration of that economy.
00:38:13.875 --> 00:38:16.168
I\'ve seen charts that churches have made
00:38:16.250 --> 00:38:21.125
of their financial situation
before they started giving
00:38:21.208 --> 00:38:25.043
and then once they started giving to Israel
their financial situation after
00:38:25.293 --> 00:38:27.418
and it\'s unbelievable to see
00:38:27.500 --> 00:38:31.708
how it\'s not connected
to what\'s going on with the economy.
00:38:31.833 --> 00:38:35.543
They\'re living in a
different economic world
00:38:35.625 --> 00:38:39.458
which is I guess
the spiritual world of Genesis 12:3.
00:38:45.418 --> 00:38:50.668
Now I\'m under the blood
of His almighty power
00:38:50.750 --> 00:38:55.293
and I know who the Lord is...
00:38:55.500 --> 00:38:58.833
Ever since our church
is involved in the Fellowship
00:38:59.375 --> 00:39:01.333
with your father and yourself
00:39:01.750 --> 00:39:03.418
we\'ve been blessed,
00:39:03.750 --> 00:39:06.918
and today we have
25,000 more dollars,
00:39:07.083 --> 00:39:10.458
and we\'re going to keep putting
the blessings of Abraham on us.
00:39:16.875 --> 00:39:19.500
I know you know it\'s not very easy to get
00:39:19.583 --> 00:39:22.418
from Israel to this church.
00:39:23.708 --> 00:39:26.125
It was around a three day Journey,
00:39:26.833 --> 00:39:29.375
but I said Lord knows, it\'s worth it.
00:39:29.793 --> 00:39:34.043
You are part of something
so big right here,
00:39:34.375 --> 00:39:37.043
bigger than I think you even realize.
00:39:37.125 --> 00:39:42.500
The destiny of the Jewish people
is the destiny of this church.
00:39:42.583 --> 00:39:47.793
And the destiny of this church
is the destiny of the Jewish people.
00:39:47.875 --> 00:39:50.708
There is good versus evil.
00:39:51.375 --> 00:39:56.083
And God is saying,
\"what side are you on?\"
00:39:57.208 --> 00:39:59.000
You have declared,
00:39:59.083 --> 00:40:01.000
we\'re standing with life.
00:40:01.918 --> 00:40:03.918
We\'re standing with light.
00:40:04.168 --> 00:40:07.293
We\'re standing with God.
00:40:08.833 --> 00:40:13.793
Before you know it,
we are a force with power.
00:40:15.375 --> 00:40:19.250
Who\'s happy about President Trump
moving the embassy to Jerusalem?
00:40:22.793 --> 00:40:26.168
That\'s possible
because of people like you.
00:40:26.750 --> 00:40:29.333
The silent majority.
00:40:29.833 --> 00:40:31.250
We feel it.
00:40:31.500 --> 00:40:33.293
We\'re grateful for it,
00:40:33.793 --> 00:40:36.375
and we pray for you in return.
00:40:36.500 --> 00:40:37.793
Shalom.
00:40:43.293 --> 00:40:45.958
Wonderful, wonderful.
00:40:47.750 --> 00:40:51.833
Just a few words to further our connection
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:55.918
with the Fellowship of Christians
and Jews and the Ecksteins.
00:40:56.043 --> 00:40:57.833
There\'s a battle on the way
00:40:57.918 --> 00:41:02.500
and God is going to miraculously intervene
00:41:03.543 --> 00:41:06.250
and He\'s going to protect Israel.
00:41:07.833 --> 00:41:10.833
And the Jews around the world,
00:41:10.918 --> 00:41:15.293
all the wealthy owners of the
NBA basketball teams,
00:41:15.375 --> 00:41:17.000
and the movie moguls,
00:41:17.083 --> 00:41:20.668
and all those wealthy Jews
you were with in Los Angeles,
00:41:20.750 --> 00:41:23.458
they\'re going to know that
there\'s a God in Israel.
00:41:24.043 --> 00:41:27.000
And their hearts are going
to be turned back to Israel,
00:41:27.083 --> 00:41:29.418
because many of them are not
practicing Jews,
00:41:29.500 --> 00:41:32.293
some of them are even atheistic.
00:41:32.375 --> 00:41:34.750
And their heart\'s going to be
turned again to Israel,
00:41:34.833 --> 00:41:36.958
and the money\'s going to pour in,
00:41:37.043 --> 00:41:42.500
and then that End Time temple
will be built on the Temple Mount.
00:41:45.500 --> 00:41:49.375
Yael, I wonder what do you
think about what Pastor William
00:41:49.500 --> 00:41:51.583
was saying today at the church?
00:42:02.250 --> 00:42:05.083
I don\'t remember
exactly what he was saying,
00:42:05.418 --> 00:42:08.918
but I think as a Jewish person
00:42:09.125 --> 00:42:15.000
whenever you hear Jesus intertwined
into Old Testament teachings,
00:42:15.083 --> 00:42:16.418
it\'s a trigger.
00:42:17.375 --> 00:42:18.668
It\'s a trigger.
00:42:21.125 --> 00:42:22.625
But then,
00:42:23.543 --> 00:42:27.250
immediately I\'m like, this is me.
00:42:27.543 --> 00:42:30.793
I have to separate myself
from the situation,
00:42:30.875 --> 00:42:32.918
and look at it through Godly eyes.
00:42:33.293 --> 00:42:35.168
The starting point is that
we\'re different.
00:42:35.250 --> 00:42:39.500
They are Christian,
they believe in Jesus and that\'s okay.
00:42:39.833 --> 00:42:43.208
I\'m going to interpret the Bible
through Jewish eyes
00:42:43.293 --> 00:42:44.543
and it\'s a paradox.
00:42:44.625 --> 00:42:47.208
And once you get five steps ahead of that
00:42:47.293 --> 00:42:50.168
it gets really freaking complicated.
00:42:50.668 --> 00:42:53.418
But that\'s why I don\'t go
to those five steps.
00:42:54.833 --> 00:42:58.043
Pastor, so at the end of times,
00:42:58.458 --> 00:43:01.625
what about Jews like me and Yael
00:43:02.250 --> 00:43:04.083
that we don\'t accept Jesus?
00:43:04.668 --> 00:43:06.958
What will happen to us?
00:43:07.668 --> 00:43:10.250
And so Maya, that\'s an old question.
00:43:10.500 --> 00:43:14.250
And it\'s a huge one.
And it\'s disturbing to a lot of people.
00:43:14.833 --> 00:43:18.418
What will God do with those
that don\'t accept Jesus?
00:43:19.418 --> 00:43:24.208
The Bible says they\'re going to have to go
through seven years of great tribulation.
00:43:25.208 --> 00:43:29.250
I don\'t want it to be
bloody, gory, violent.
00:43:29.418 --> 00:43:30.543
I don\'t want that.
00:43:31.875 --> 00:43:34.625
I don\'t want to have to say,
\"my way is right
00:43:34.875 --> 00:43:36.918
and turn or burn you know,
00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:39.500
you\'re going to get roasted in
Hell forever.\"
00:43:39.583 --> 00:43:42.125
It\'s not my motive, not my goal.
00:43:42.543 --> 00:43:43.750
It\'s not.
00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:45.418
It\'s really not.
00:43:45.875 --> 00:43:48.958
But Jesus said,
\"I am the way, the truth and the life,
00:43:49.043 --> 00:43:51.793
and no man comes to
the Father but by me.\"
00:44:06.793 --> 00:44:09.793
May it be a year of sovereignty
00:44:09.875 --> 00:44:12.043
The parallels are very clear.
00:44:12.583 --> 00:44:13.958
The Israeli settler movement
00:44:14.043 --> 00:44:18.000
in some ways is like the
Evangelical movement of the Jewish people.
00:44:19.375 --> 00:44:22.875
So you have
two ideologically motivated crowds
00:44:22.958 --> 00:44:27.208
pushing an agenda that
is handed to them by God.
00:44:27.833 --> 00:44:30.333
I have been on the
Israeli-Palestinian issue
00:44:30.418 --> 00:44:34.083
for the better part of twenty some years.
00:44:34.625 --> 00:44:37.083
I was the officer for the US government
00:44:37.168 --> 00:44:41.083
in charge of reporting
on Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
00:44:41.168 --> 00:44:44.043
During that time,
I learned to take seriously
00:44:44.125 --> 00:44:48.750
the intentions and aspirations of people
who have chosen to vote with their feet
00:44:48.833 --> 00:44:50.833
and with their children\'s feet to ensure
00:44:50.918 --> 00:44:54.500
that there could never be
any land given to the Palestinians,
00:44:54.625 --> 00:44:58.458
and that Israel keeps all of the land
in Judea and Samaria.
00:45:00.625 --> 00:45:02.043
Hello.
00:45:02.833 --> 00:45:06.583
Hi, welcome.
00:45:06.668 --> 00:45:08.208
Come everybody, follow me.
00:45:08.958 --> 00:45:10.958
I was born in Cleveland, Ohio
00:45:11.250 --> 00:45:16.668
and I came to Israel already very
fired up about the settlement movement
00:45:16.750 --> 00:45:19.918
which was at that point
really in its infancy.
00:45:21.625 --> 00:45:24.000
I started Christian Friends
of Israeli Communities
00:45:24.083 --> 00:45:26.458
because Christians came to me and said,
00:45:26.543 --> 00:45:31.000
\"we want to support the settlements.
Help us do it.\"
00:45:31.293 --> 00:45:34.083
You are Christians. I\'m Jewish.
00:45:34.168 --> 00:45:36.000
We have a lot in common.
00:45:36.168 --> 00:45:39.083
80% of your Bible is my Bible.
00:45:39.293 --> 00:45:42.500
This Bible...
This is of course just my Bible. Okay?
00:45:42.583 --> 00:45:46.000
You have another little bit here, right?
00:45:46.293 --> 00:45:48.543
But think of this,
all of this we share.
00:45:49.208 --> 00:45:52.750
To me, I think the Jews
are the stars of the film. Okay?
00:45:52.833 --> 00:45:54.958
The Jews are coming back to Israel.
00:45:55.043 --> 00:45:56.625
That\'s us, not them.
00:45:57.000 --> 00:46:00.833
They believe
in the holiness of the process,
00:46:00.918 --> 00:46:03.250
but they can only be supporting actors.
00:46:03.333 --> 00:46:04.875
They have no other role,
00:46:04.958 --> 00:46:07.543
but if we allow them
to be supporting actors,
00:46:07.625 --> 00:46:09.500
wow, at least they\'re in the movie.
00:46:09.958 --> 00:46:12.458
So when we say
we\'re looking forward to a Redemption,
00:46:12.543 --> 00:46:16.833
you and I may have different visions
of what that redemption may look like.
00:46:16.918 --> 00:46:21.125
But what we can focus on is what
the settlement movement is about.
00:46:21.875 --> 00:46:24.793
This area is Judea and Samaria.
00:46:24.875 --> 00:46:28.083
This is the place where
the nations of the world today say:
00:46:28.168 --> 00:46:29.708
\"Jews don\'t belong there.
00:46:29.793 --> 00:46:33.458
This should be an Arab State.
This should be a state of Palestine.
00:46:33.543 --> 00:46:34.918
Divide the land.\"
00:46:36.333 --> 00:46:38.625
Establishing a Palestinian State here
00:46:38.708 --> 00:46:42.793
is going to mean getting rid of all
the Jews who live in Judea and Samaria.
00:46:42.875 --> 00:46:44.708
This is what we are up against.
00:46:51.668 --> 00:46:55.708
Yossi Dagan, the head
of the Regional Council of Samaria,
00:46:55.793 --> 00:47:00.375
he came to realize Christian politicians
00:47:00.458 --> 00:47:02.250
who act on faith
00:47:02.333 --> 00:47:05.043
could be very influential.
00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:12.000
So we\'re using politics to assist us
00:47:12.083 --> 00:47:17.750
in advancing a position that is based
on religion and ideology.
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:21.500
Father I pray for each
man and woman in this room
00:47:21.583 --> 00:47:24.125
to allow you to direct their steps,
00:47:24.458 --> 00:47:29.125
and we pray your direction upon
this meeting. In Jesus names, Amen.
00:47:30.418 --> 00:47:34.625
They really want
that all the area of State of Israel
00:47:34.708 --> 00:47:36.458
will be just nine miles.
00:47:36.543 --> 00:47:38.333
And we,
Jewish people in Judea and Samaria,
00:47:38.418 --> 00:47:41.000
we need your help with your policy.
00:47:41.168 --> 00:47:42.833
We have same mission.
00:47:42.918 --> 00:47:46.500
So you\'ve got this thing where settlers
come up to the Hill and lobby.
00:47:47.208 --> 00:47:50.250
And these are hardline extremist settlers,
00:47:50.418 --> 00:47:52.833
joyfully meeting with members of Congress,
00:47:52.918 --> 00:47:57.793
talking about how the way to peace
is through normalizing settlements.
00:47:58.793 --> 00:48:04.333
Blessed art thou O\' Lord
who commanded us to hang a Mezuzah.
00:48:04.418 --> 00:48:05.418
Amen.
00:48:05.500 --> 00:48:06.750
Together?
00:48:07.958 --> 00:48:10.333
You read them Bible verses.
00:48:10.668 --> 00:48:12.625
You read them Bible verses.
00:48:12.708 --> 00:48:15.708
You ask for their help and they say
\"whatever you need.\"
00:48:15.793 --> 00:48:17.168
It\'s amazing.
00:48:19.333 --> 00:48:23.750
It used to be that you would have support
for Israel on a bipartisan basis,
00:48:23.875 --> 00:48:27.875
but now Israel has written off progressive
American Jews like me completely.
00:48:27.958 --> 00:48:29.458
They\'ve just written us off.
00:48:31.958 --> 00:48:35.958
The settlement movement
has long been frustrated
00:48:36.208 --> 00:48:38.793
with American Jews
00:48:38.875 --> 00:48:41.125
having nothing to do
with Judea and Samaria.
00:48:41.918 --> 00:48:46.168
So if we are seeking an important
influential group of people,
00:48:46.250 --> 00:48:47.833
particularly in the United States
00:48:47.918 --> 00:48:49.833
who are supportive of
the settlement movement,
00:48:49.918 --> 00:48:52.043
we have to look to Evangelical Christians.
00:48:54.875 --> 00:48:58.458
John Hagee was really
the foremost Christian leader
00:48:58.543 --> 00:49:00.918
involved in Israel at any level.
00:49:01.793 --> 00:49:06.250
How is America trying
to get Israel to appease
00:49:07.333 --> 00:49:09.125
the Islamofascists?
00:49:09.250 --> 00:49:10.625
Land for peace,
00:49:10.750 --> 00:49:12.543
give them Judea and Samaria,
00:49:12.625 --> 00:49:13.918
give them Gaza,
00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:15.668
give them part of Jerusalem.
00:49:15.750 --> 00:49:17.250
I say never!
00:49:17.458 --> 00:49:18.875
Never! Never!
00:49:18.958 --> 00:49:21.750
And so the leaders of
the settlement movement felt
00:49:21.833 --> 00:49:24.793
that it was John Hagee
who would be the ideal person
00:49:24.918 --> 00:49:28.125
to establish an organization of Christians
00:49:28.208 --> 00:49:32.625
to advocate for
Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria.
00:49:42.208 --> 00:49:43.833
Never in our history,
00:49:43.918 --> 00:49:47.500
have we had favor at the same time,
00:49:47.750 --> 00:49:50.333
with the President of
the United States,
00:49:50.418 --> 00:49:54.708
with the Prime Minister of Israel,
with the Secretary of State.
00:49:54.793 --> 00:49:58.125
All of those people
are suddenly helping us
00:49:58.208 --> 00:49:59.875
achieve our objectives,
00:49:59.958 --> 00:50:04.043
because the favor of God
is with this organization.
00:50:16.793 --> 00:50:19.043
When you go up to Capitol Hill
00:50:19.125 --> 00:50:20.958
remind anyone you meet with,
00:50:21.083 --> 00:50:22.958
you are their constituent.
00:50:23.043 --> 00:50:25.418
You\'re part of the largest
pro-Israel group in the country,
00:50:25.500 --> 00:50:27.833
with 4.2 million members.
00:50:28.833 --> 00:50:31.500
The first issue we\'re taking on this year
00:50:31.583 --> 00:50:36.000
is UNRWA, the United Nations
Relief and Works Agency.
00:50:36.125 --> 00:50:40.168
Our point is not that we think the
Palestinians are getting too much money,
00:50:40.250 --> 00:50:42.750
although they probably are.
00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:44.918
We think Congress should express support
00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:48.750
for limiting our contributions
to Palestinian refugees.
00:50:48.833 --> 00:50:51.958
We have a friendly Administration,
a friendly House of Representatives,
00:50:52.043 --> 00:50:54.250
a friendly United States Senate.
00:50:54.418 --> 00:50:56.043
Are we tired of winning?
00:50:57.333 --> 00:50:59.458
Let\'s win some more.
00:51:22.168 --> 00:51:25.168
UNRWA has been
under attack now for years.
00:51:25.543 --> 00:51:27.043
And with CUFI
00:51:27.125 --> 00:51:31.168
you have an army of people
pushing that agenda.
00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:38.293
In the West Bank and Gaza
UNRWA plays a critical role.
00:51:38.668 --> 00:51:42.000
It provides education,
food, water, housing.
00:51:42.083 --> 00:51:44.500
The security community
has been warning people,
00:51:44.625 --> 00:51:47.793
this could be extremely destabilizing,
00:51:48.293 --> 00:51:52.418
but there is a political momentum here
that is being driven by people who say,
00:51:52.500 --> 00:51:56.708
\"don\'t bother me with your security
problems because I\'m doing this anyway.\"
00:52:08.418 --> 00:52:11.500
The United States is officially
cutting hundreds of millions of dollars
00:52:11.583 --> 00:52:13.500
in Aid to the UN agency
00:52:13.625 --> 00:52:16.168
in charge of helping Palestinian refugees.
00:52:16.250 --> 00:52:17.418
Now Donald Trump\'s decision,
00:52:17.500 --> 00:52:21.043
to hold back aid to the
UN relief agency for the Palestinians,
00:52:21.125 --> 00:52:24.668
has angered many in the Middle East
and at the United Nations
00:52:24.750 --> 00:52:27.958
claiming the move will have
devastating consequences.
00:52:28.458 --> 00:52:30.083
So why has he done it?
00:52:36.043 --> 00:52:39.708
It\'s understandable
that Israelis would seek allies.
00:52:40.168 --> 00:52:41.375
It is a question though,
00:52:41.458 --> 00:52:45.625
of whom you decide to ally yourself with
and what it says about you.
00:52:45.708 --> 00:52:51.168
Would you please welcome my friend and Prime
Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu.
00:52:51.250 --> 00:52:55.668
Thank you, Pastor Hagee.
You are always there for us.
00:52:55.750 --> 00:52:59.500
We have no better friends
on Earth than you.
00:53:01.833 --> 00:53:03.250
It\'s an irony of our times
00:53:03.333 --> 00:53:07.083
that there are folks who considered
great friends of the Jewish people
00:53:07.168 --> 00:53:09.583
who could be seen as antisemitic.
00:53:10.125 --> 00:53:11.750
God says in Jeremiah 16,
00:53:11.833 --> 00:53:15.625
\"Behold I will bring them,
the Jewish people, again into their land.\"
00:53:15.793 --> 00:53:18.250
How is God going
to bring them back to the land?
00:53:18.500 --> 00:53:20.418
The answer is hunters.
00:53:20.500 --> 00:53:24.458
A hunter is someone who comes
with a gun and he forces you.
00:53:24.543 --> 00:53:26.125
Hitler was a hunter.
00:53:27.583 --> 00:53:29.000
How did it happen?
00:53:29.083 --> 00:53:31.250
Because God allowed it to happen.
00:53:31.333 --> 00:53:35.293
I think you have a case here of
an opportunistic alignment,
00:53:35.375 --> 00:53:38.583
that\'s redefining what it means
to be a friend of Israel.
00:53:39.500 --> 00:53:43.375
I don\'t think Israelis appreciate
the bargain they\'re making.
00:53:43.458 --> 00:53:45.833
When you align yourself with Evangelicals,
00:53:45.918 --> 00:53:47.583
you\'re signing on to their whole agenda,
00:53:47.668 --> 00:53:51.458
whether it\'s on women\'s rights or
LGBT rights or abortion rights,
00:53:51.543 --> 00:53:52.750
or any of these things.
00:53:52.833 --> 00:53:55.918
When it comes to homosexual behavior
that\'s harmful to society,
00:53:56.000 --> 00:53:57.333
the research is overwhelming,
00:53:57.418 --> 00:53:59.875
that homosexuality poses
a risk to children.
00:54:07.168 --> 00:54:11.500
It is my profound honor to be
the first President in history,
00:54:11.625 --> 00:54:15.208
to attend the March for Life.
00:54:18.543 --> 00:54:21.500
When we see the image
of a baby in the womb,
00:54:21.583 --> 00:54:26.583
we glimpse the majesty of God\'s creation.
00:54:29.625 --> 00:54:34.333
Jesus said what you do to the least of
these little ones, you\'ve done it unto me.
00:54:34.418 --> 00:54:38.793
And in the Greek there that \"little ones\"
it\'s interpreted the \"foeti\".
00:54:38.918 --> 00:54:41.208
I\'m going to introduce to you Dr. Alvarado,
00:54:41.293 --> 00:54:44.500
and I believe he\'s going to be
our next Lieutenant Governor.
00:54:44.583 --> 00:54:46.625
And that will be a blessing because
00:54:46.833 --> 00:54:50.418
he is pro-life to the very heart of him.
00:54:50.500 --> 00:54:53.540
We\'re a state right now that\'s arguably
the most pro-life state in the Union.
00:54:53.583 --> 00:54:55.793
Were down to
one abortion clinic in Louisville,
00:54:55.918 --> 00:54:58.043
but we\'re not going to stop
until we have zero.
00:55:07.625 --> 00:55:12.918
This week my church
will be taking another group to Israel.
00:55:13.418 --> 00:55:17.708
And I just want you to help me pray
that they have a safe trip.
00:55:19.500 --> 00:55:23.208
There\'s Haifa from the Mount Carmel.
00:55:23.918 --> 00:55:25.333
Beautiful, isn\'t it?
00:55:25.918 --> 00:55:27.500
That\'s \'82.
00:55:28.418 --> 00:55:32.000
When I was little my dad talked about
when they went to Israel.
00:55:34.333 --> 00:55:39.250
I\'m standing on actual steps
that Jesus traveled.
00:55:40.833 --> 00:55:45.000
And Jesus went to the bow of the boat
and stretched out his hand. -Amen.
00:55:45.125 --> 00:55:46.708
And he talked to this water,
00:55:47.083 --> 00:55:48.875
and he said peace be still.
00:55:49.375 --> 00:55:52.583
And it laid there. Ain\'t no danger.
00:55:52.668 --> 00:56:00.208
Ain\'t no danger in the water
ain\'t no danger in the water...
00:56:00.333 --> 00:56:01.458
Stand up.
00:56:02.250 --> 00:56:06.500
I\'ve been taught to believe,
the return of the Jewish people home,
00:56:06.583 --> 00:56:09.293
and the establishment
of the State of Israel,
00:56:09.375 --> 00:56:13.000
those are necessary prophetic events
00:56:13.418 --> 00:56:15.708
that had to be fulfilled.
00:56:38.375 --> 00:56:40.458
For many Christian people,
00:56:41.583 --> 00:56:43.208
just being here,
00:56:43.833 --> 00:56:45.668
it brings them some peace.
00:56:47.875 --> 00:56:51.043
Christ died for our sins
according to the Scripture.
00:56:52.250 --> 00:56:55.918
Now all of that Scripture
was written in the Old Testament.
00:56:56.000 --> 00:56:57.750
This was predicted.
00:56:57.918 --> 00:57:00.043
Jesus would rise again.
00:57:00.625 --> 00:57:04.168
And I pray that you use us for
your will and your glory Lord.
00:57:04.293 --> 00:57:08.958
Just giving us your words, Lord, may your
words speak through us so that we can do...
00:57:20.500 --> 00:57:24.458
I\'m so grateful that you are here with us,
00:57:24.543 --> 00:57:28.333
touching the lives of the less fortunate.
00:57:29.918 --> 00:57:32.375
You\'re not just visitors.
00:57:32.458 --> 00:57:33.918
You\'re a part of it.
00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:35.668
God bless you.
00:57:35.793 --> 00:57:38.708
Thank you everyone.
Welcome home.
00:57:38.793 --> 00:57:40.418
Yes!
00:57:41.208 --> 00:57:42.375
Amen!
00:57:43.833 --> 00:57:48.583
When we gave the donation in November,
when you were there.
00:57:49.168 --> 00:57:52.793
There\'s been a piece of property
we wanted for years.
00:57:53.083 --> 00:57:55.000
That\'s next to our church.
It\'s five acres.
00:57:55.125 --> 00:57:56.293
You showed me it.
00:57:56.418 --> 00:57:58.208
That\'s me breaking ground on it.
00:57:58.293 --> 00:58:00.375
We bought it a week after you left.
00:58:00.458 --> 00:58:02.375
Sowing good seed into good ground.
00:58:02.458 --> 00:58:05.875
Yeah. And God blessed us
because we blessed Israel.
00:58:07.500 --> 00:58:10.833
Every place here
that there\'s been some empty lots,
00:58:10.958 --> 00:58:12.793
is being built.
00:58:13.293 --> 00:58:17.250
When you see a modern Jewish community
here in the heart of Biblical Israel,
00:58:17.333 --> 00:58:22.583
you\'re seeing God\'s promises being
fulfilled before your very eyes.
00:58:23.750 --> 00:58:25.708
It\'s exciting times we live in.
00:58:26.500 --> 00:58:27.958
It\'s all prophesied.
00:58:28.418 --> 00:58:30.418
It\'s happening. We see it.
00:58:30.625 --> 00:58:32.875
And we\'re glad to be a part of it.
00:58:34.375 --> 00:58:37.918
For I will gather all nations
against Jerusalem to battle.
00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:41.708
And the city shall be taken
and the houses rifled,
00:58:41.793 --> 00:58:43.250
and the women ravished,
00:58:43.333 --> 00:58:47.083
and the Lord
shall be king over all the Earth.
00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:50.500
Israel cannot lay their weapons down.
00:58:51.083 --> 00:58:53.168
They cannot trust their neighbors.
00:58:53.833 --> 00:58:56.000
Neither can we as Christians.
00:58:56.083 --> 00:58:58.208
Until the battle is completed,
00:58:59.000 --> 00:59:01.668
we\'ve got to stay armed and ready.
00:59:02.208 --> 00:59:03.875
America!
00:59:24.833 --> 00:59:29.125
When I was sick, I used to sit and think,
00:59:30.418 --> 00:59:32.500
\"am I ever going to
be able to go to Israel?\"
00:59:34.918 --> 00:59:36.583
By coming here,
00:59:38.668 --> 00:59:41.208
I feel like maybe I conquered something.
00:59:45.043 --> 00:59:49.208
Suffering can do two things
in the human experience.
00:59:51.168 --> 00:59:53.375
Suffering can make us bitter,
00:59:54.250 --> 00:59:56.418
or suffering can make us better.
00:59:59.293 --> 01:00:02.250
I hope my suffering can make me better.
01:00:08.083 --> 01:00:11.750
Jesus said what the greatest
commandment was.
01:00:13.543 --> 01:00:16.583
To love your neighbor as yourself.
01:00:17.833 --> 01:00:20.543
Jesus taught us to love.
01:00:23.125 --> 01:00:24.208
My name\'s Boyd.
- Boyd?
01:00:24.543 --> 01:00:26.668
Yeah.
- Welcome. Where\'d you come from?
01:00:26.918 --> 01:00:28.083
Kentucky.
01:00:28.375 --> 01:00:31.333
Is this your first time in Bethlehem?
- Yeah, it\'s my first time.
01:00:32.375 --> 01:00:33.668
Oh wow.
01:00:33.750 --> 01:00:38.375
The roof, we added
the Arabic inscription there.
01:00:39.000 --> 01:00:40.043
Luke 2, 14,
01:00:40.168 --> 01:00:41.708
\"Glory to God in the highest,
01:00:41.793 --> 01:00:43.625
peace on earth and good will to man.\"
01:00:43.708 --> 01:00:44.918
Incredible.
01:00:46.418 --> 01:00:50.293
Christians in Bethlehem probably make around
twenty five percent of the population.
01:00:50.375 --> 01:00:51.583
They\'re leaving.
01:00:52.083 --> 01:00:53.918
I have many who left.
01:00:54.043 --> 01:00:56.418
What would be the reason for that?
01:00:57.375 --> 01:00:59.418
Life here is hard.
- I understand that.
01:00:59.500 --> 01:01:02.418
The Israeli Occupation,
they control everything.
01:01:02.500 --> 01:01:06.583
Gradually people look
for a better life outside.
01:01:07.250 --> 01:01:14.125
Evangelicals have contributed very
negatively when it comes to this conflict.
01:01:14.293 --> 01:01:16.375
Because they are obsessed with prophecy.
01:01:16.458 --> 01:01:19.958
See, here\'s what I don\'t get
about many American Evangelicals.
01:01:20.833 --> 01:01:26.375
In their scenarios Jews will either be
converted to Christianity at one day,
01:01:26.458 --> 01:01:28.750
those who won\'t sadly will be massacred.
01:01:28.833 --> 01:01:31.750
That\'s in their prophetic understanding.
01:01:32.208 --> 01:01:37.125
But somehow, this is perceived as
a theology that supports the Jewish people.
01:01:37.208 --> 01:01:39.375
To me, that\'s a very twisted logic.
01:01:39.458 --> 01:01:42.958
The idea that God is bringing
the Jews back to their land.
01:01:43.333 --> 01:01:46.125
What is often missed
is the Palestinian presence.
01:01:46.875 --> 01:01:51.083
It is as if you speak of an empty land.
01:01:51.250 --> 01:01:55.458
We have been
at the receiving end of a theology
01:01:55.543 --> 01:01:58.043
that actually told us we don\'t belong here.
01:01:59.125 --> 01:02:03.500
That even told us that we are
second class citizens in our homeland.
01:02:03.833 --> 01:02:08.168
At the same time,
you have what God said to Moses.
01:02:08.333 --> 01:02:10.208
And what God said to Abraham.
01:02:10.293 --> 01:02:12.168
And what God said to Joshua.
01:02:12.250 --> 01:02:13.333
And what God said to David.
01:02:13.418 --> 01:02:15.583
And those are those covenant promises,
01:02:15.833 --> 01:02:19.125
and I\'m not one that believes
that God would ever go back on His word.
01:02:19.208 --> 01:02:22.793
The mandate
to establish a theocracy in it
01:02:23.083 --> 01:02:25.168
applies today to the Jewish people.
01:02:27.333 --> 01:02:28.958
God did say that.
01:02:29.125 --> 01:02:31.083
I agree with that...
01:02:31.833 --> 01:02:36.708
How is that different from,
from when Muslims say:
01:02:36.793 --> 01:02:40.875
\"We have a mandate to do Jihad,
01:02:40.958 --> 01:02:44.043
and empty the land from infidels?\"
01:02:45.543 --> 01:02:47.543
Because they don\'t worship our God.
01:02:47.668 --> 01:02:50.958
So, it\'s really a battle
between Gods in this land?
01:02:51.083 --> 01:02:56.000
Well, I would certainly
refuse to accept that.
01:03:04.250 --> 01:03:06.668
I didn\'t want to say this to him
and hurt his feelings.
01:03:07.168 --> 01:03:09.333
There\'s no such thing as a Palestinian.
01:03:10.625 --> 01:03:14.333
That\'s not Evangelicalism.
That\'s not Donald Trump.
01:03:14.875 --> 01:03:16.168
That\'s not Boyd Bingham.
01:03:16.250 --> 01:03:17.958
That\'s not Bibi Netanyahu.
01:03:18.168 --> 01:03:20.625
That\'s fact of history.
01:03:21.458 --> 01:03:24.043
His interpretation of the Scripture,
01:03:24.875 --> 01:03:27.750
is theological antisemitism.
01:03:28.250 --> 01:03:30.583
My mind won\'t be changed on that.
01:03:58.918 --> 01:04:00.250
I\'m sorry father.
01:04:00.333 --> 01:04:03.833
I\'m sorry I didn\'t tell you
more often how proud I am of you.
01:04:03.918 --> 01:04:07.043
I\'m sorry I didn\'t tell you more often
how much I look up to you
01:04:07.125 --> 01:04:10.543
and respect you
and cherish your every word.
01:04:24.418 --> 01:04:26.250
It\'s a hard day.
01:04:28.375 --> 01:04:31.918
When I think about how
he woke up and had coffee,
01:04:32.000 --> 01:04:33.083
and read the newspaper,
01:04:33.168 --> 01:04:35.875
and had a heart attack and died,
01:04:36.083 --> 01:04:39.125
I realize it\'s the biggest blessing.
01:04:39.668 --> 01:04:41.125
He didn\'t suffer.
01:04:42.418 --> 01:04:47.458
And I believe that this next year
I have a responsibility to my father
01:04:47.543 --> 01:04:51.208
that\'s greater
than any time in his lifetime.
01:04:55.043 --> 01:05:01.043
It\'s not easy traveling all over,
leaving my four kids and my husband.
01:05:02.208 --> 01:05:05.500
But right now is the time that
I have to prove myself.
01:05:10.750 --> 01:05:13.083
Lord we just praise you
and thank you for this day, Father.
01:05:13.168 --> 01:05:18.625
We thank you for bringing
Yael here safely in Jesus\' name. Amen.
01:05:19.793 --> 01:05:21.083
Thank you.
- You\'re welcome.
01:05:22.833 --> 01:05:27.458
Up until now, we\'ve been a very
emotional based organization,
01:05:27.543 --> 01:05:32.418
and we have to take this transition
to be intentional and strategic,
01:05:32.500 --> 01:05:35.000
and to really set clear goals.
01:05:35.918 --> 01:05:37.833
We have to bring this to the world
01:05:37.918 --> 01:05:42.543
and take the Fellowship
to this historic, unprecedented place.
01:05:42.958 --> 01:05:46.333
President Trump isn\'t supporting Israel
because of the Jewish community,
01:05:46.418 --> 01:05:48.918
he\'s supporting it
because of his evangelical followers.
01:05:49.000 --> 01:05:50.958
And we\'re seeing in every way now,
01:05:51.043 --> 01:05:54.125
what our fathers said 37 years ago.
01:05:54.208 --> 01:05:55.833
This isn\'t about money,
01:05:55.918 --> 01:05:58.043
this isn\'t about
being a humanitarian organization.
01:05:58.125 --> 01:05:59.668
This is bigger than this.
01:05:59.750 --> 01:06:02.793
This is a strategic partnership of God.
01:06:11.208 --> 01:06:13.708
You shall have no other gods before me.
01:06:13.958 --> 01:06:16.250
You shall not make for yourself idols.
01:06:16.375 --> 01:06:18.793
You shall not take God\'s name in vain.
01:06:19.168 --> 01:06:23.668
God gave these commandments
to help set his people apart...
01:06:24.168 --> 01:06:28.168
We\'re in the day leading up to a major
announcement from the White House
01:06:28.250 --> 01:06:31.793
after the \"first course\",
the moving of the embassy to Jerusalem
01:06:32.333 --> 01:06:35.500
tomorrow Donald Trump
will serve Israel \"the main course\".
01:06:35.583 --> 01:06:38.208
Tomorrow Donald Trump will present
\"The Deal of the Century\",
01:06:38.293 --> 01:06:41.625
Netanyahu\'s goal is to get a green light,
01:06:41.708 --> 01:06:43.833
for some form
of annexation in the West Bank,
01:06:43.918 --> 01:06:47.918
so he can go back to his base
and say \'I promised something historic,
01:06:48.000 --> 01:06:49.000
and I delivered\'.
01:06:49.083 --> 01:06:51.083
We\'re here to support the Prime Minister,
01:06:51.168 --> 01:06:52.543
to support the President,
01:06:52.625 --> 01:06:54.750
There\'s potential for something historic.
01:06:54.875 --> 01:06:57.043
We need to get full sovereignty,
01:06:57.125 --> 01:06:59.365
without allowing for
a Palestinian terror state to exist.
01:07:01.208 --> 01:07:03.793
We have two groups
that had been pushed to the side
01:07:03.875 --> 01:07:05.168
as far as their political influence,
01:07:05.250 --> 01:07:08.293
but in the past 3 years have been
extremely influential.
01:07:08.418 --> 01:07:11.708
One is the Evangelical lobby
and the other is the Israeli settler lobby.
01:07:11.833 --> 01:07:14.625
The settler lobby
has a lot of influence on Netanyahu.
01:07:14.750 --> 01:07:16.625
That\'s his political base.
01:07:16.708 --> 01:07:19.375
Trump has his Evangelical base.
01:07:19.918 --> 01:07:23.708
These two groups are operating
like a vice, applying pressure,
01:07:23.793 --> 01:07:27.793
both from Israel and the U.S.
to achieve their common goals.
01:07:29.043 --> 01:07:32.833
Their ability to push their agenda
despite the indifferent majority
01:07:32.918 --> 01:07:34.625
is incredible.
01:07:35.293 --> 01:07:38.208
For example,
there are no Palestinians at this event.
01:07:39.125 --> 01:07:43.458
It\'s like a wedding where only
one side is present. You have the groom,
01:07:43.543 --> 01:07:46.500
an Evangelical priest, but no bride.
01:08:08.500 --> 01:08:09.708
Thank you.
01:08:11.000 --> 01:08:13.833
Bibi we have a lot of
powerful people in this room.
01:08:14.333 --> 01:08:18.918
My plan for peace is fundamentally
different from past proposals.
01:08:19.000 --> 01:08:23.668
The United States will recognize Israeli
sovereignty over the territory,
01:08:23.750 --> 01:08:27.708
that my vision provides to be part
of the State of Israel,
01:08:27.793 --> 01:08:31.375
including the West Bank
described so vividly in the Bible.
01:08:32.375 --> 01:08:38.043
Mr. President, your deal of the century
is the opportunity of the century.
01:08:38.125 --> 01:08:40.418
Regardless of the Palestinian decision,
01:08:40.708 --> 01:08:42.793
Israel will apply its sovereignty
01:08:42.875 --> 01:08:46.000
over all the Jewish communities
in Judea and Samaria,
01:08:46.250 --> 01:08:48.750
large and small alike.
01:08:49.543 --> 01:08:52.500
As the distinguished pastors
who are here know very well,
01:08:52.668 --> 01:08:55.833
these are places inscribed
in the pages of the Bible,
01:08:55.918 --> 01:09:01.250
that will now be recognized
as a permanent part of the Jewish State.
01:09:06.375 --> 01:09:07.750
It\'s a great historic day,
01:09:07.833 --> 01:09:09.543
for the Palestinians,
for the Jewish community,
01:09:09.625 --> 01:09:11.000
and for the Christian community.
01:09:11.168 --> 01:09:12.793
Why are there
so many Evangelicals here?
01:09:12.875 --> 01:09:14.250
Oh, Evangelicals are...
01:09:16.958 --> 01:09:19.708
It\'s a holy land for Christians,
like for the Jewish community.
01:09:20.708 --> 01:09:22.958
Yeah, I mean, yeah,
we had our seat at the table.
01:09:23.250 --> 01:09:24.918
The plan reflects that.
01:09:26.958 --> 01:09:30.750
The amazing thing is
that soldiers going to the army today,
01:09:30.918 --> 01:09:34.500
are kids that weren\'t born
in the days of the second intifada,
01:09:34.583 --> 01:09:36.458
and all the suicide bombings.
01:09:36.625 --> 01:09:39.833
People don\'t remember that reality.
01:09:40.458 --> 01:09:42.043
They don\'t remember the price.
01:09:46.293 --> 01:09:52.293
And that leads to actions
with a heavy potential for escalation.
01:09:52.418 --> 01:09:58.918
And even more so, these are actions
where it\'s unclear, what\'s the endgame?
01:09:59.000 --> 01:10:01.333
How is this all going to end?
01:10:16.293 --> 01:10:22.125
I believe that God has given us
a glimpse of what the future will be.
01:10:22.958 --> 01:10:27.375
Where there\'s more accountability
in political systems to the church.
01:10:29.333 --> 01:10:31.958
It\'s all according to His plan.
01:10:34.958 --> 01:10:36.793
We\'re God\'s instruments,
01:10:37.708 --> 01:10:39.543
for His End Time plan.
01:10:39.708 --> 01:10:43.293
I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag,
01:10:43.375 --> 01:10:47.168
and to the Savior
for whose kingdom it stands,
01:10:47.250 --> 01:10:50.458
one brotherhood, uniting all Christians,
01:10:50.543 --> 01:10:52.918
in service and in love.
01:10:53.458 --> 01:10:59.125
We have Maya and Abie here today,
our wonderful Hebrew friends from Israel
01:10:59.208 --> 01:11:02.293
with a camera for this documentary.
01:11:02.418 --> 01:11:05.375
Don\'t they love me to put up with this?
01:11:06.543 --> 01:11:07.958
They love me.
01:11:08.333 --> 01:11:11.250
And I\'ve been telling them
about that Ezekiel battle.
01:11:12.000 --> 01:11:13.250
It\'s coming.
01:11:13.750 --> 01:11:14.793
It\'s coming.
01:11:14.875 --> 01:11:17.000
So I want to get them saved right now.
01:11:17.750 --> 01:11:22.125
If you followed him
and were baptized in his name,
01:11:22.250 --> 01:11:24.833
you wouldn\'t be denying your parents.
01:11:25.250 --> 01:11:27.543
You wouldn\'t be denying your faith.
01:11:27.668 --> 01:11:30.333
You wouldn\'t be denying your heritage.
01:11:30.418 --> 01:11:35.125
You would be bringing into
your faith the culmination,
01:11:35.750 --> 01:11:37.418
the zenith,
01:11:37.583 --> 01:11:39.168
the apex of it all.
01:11:39.250 --> 01:11:42.543
Yeah, I\'m talking about
the Lord, Jesus Christ!
01:11:42.625 --> 01:11:45.750
Messiah! Lord of all! Mighty God!
01:11:45.833 --> 01:11:47.375
Everlasting Father!
01:11:47.458 --> 01:11:49.043
The Prince of Peace!
01:11:53.750 --> 01:11:57.500
Pastor, some would
argue that this cooperation
01:11:57.583 --> 01:11:59.958
between Jews and Evangelical Christians
01:12:00.750 --> 01:12:03.000
has a certain level of hypocrisy.
01:12:03.083 --> 01:12:04.543
Don\'t you think so?
01:12:05.208 --> 01:12:07.208
You don\'t want to hear me
come across and say,
01:12:07.375 --> 01:12:09.833
\"you blind, stupid Jewish people
01:12:09.918 --> 01:12:14.083
can\'t you see this evidently
set forth before you?
01:12:14.168 --> 01:12:17.250
The historical Biblical evidence is here.
01:12:17.333 --> 01:12:19.750
How could you be so blind?
01:12:19.833 --> 01:12:21.833
Because you\'re just a little bit arrogant?\"
01:12:21.918 --> 01:12:24.958
Now you\'re going to go through the
Tribulation and get your tail busted,
01:12:25.043 --> 01:12:27.375
and get humbled down there
that you will say,
01:12:27.458 --> 01:12:30.875
\"You know that little crazy wacky
preacher we met over there in Kentucky,
01:12:30.958 --> 01:12:32.375
and he sat there and told us...
01:12:32.458 --> 01:12:33.918
He\'s right!
01:12:34.043 --> 01:12:37.375
And now we\'re going through
all this big mess over here in Israel.
01:12:37.458 --> 01:12:40.208
It\'s unbelievable.
Why didn\'t we see this before?
01:12:40.293 --> 01:12:43.668
Now we\'ve been humbled,
we\'re not so arrogant now.
01:12:43.750 --> 01:12:45.333
Now we see it.
01:12:45.958 --> 01:12:48.958
You don\'t want me to come across
like that now, Maya.
01:12:49.583 --> 01:12:50.793
Huh?
01:12:54.333 --> 01:12:55.708
Here we go.
01:13:05.250 --> 01:13:10.625
Once in sin\'s darkest night
I was wandering alone
01:13:10.708 --> 01:13:15.875
A stranger to mercy I stood
01:13:15.958 --> 01:13:21.375
But the Savior came nigh
When He heard my faint cry
01:13:21.458 --> 01:13:26.708
And He put my sins under the blood
01:13:26.793 --> 01:13:29.418
They are covered by the blood
01:13:29.500 --> 01:13:32.293
They are covered by the blood
01:13:32.375 --> 01:13:37.583
My sins are all covered by the blood
01:13:37.750 --> 01:13:40.375
My iniquities so vast
01:13:40.458 --> 01:13:45.875
Have been blotted out at last
01:13:45.958 --> 01:13:53.168
My sins are all covered by the blood.
01:13:53.293 --> 01:13:57.168
Very good you remembered
more than I did, for sure.
