TJV, TSC, DJ

00:00:10,944 --> 00:00:19,853
Welcome to the Jim Bakker Show,
coming to you from the Village
of Morningside, snuggled in
the beautiful Ozark Mountains.

4
00:00:19,853 --> 00:00:27,227
Today, Jim's special
guest, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn.

5
00:00:27,227 --> 00:00:31,097
I'm Zach Drew, along with
the Morningside band.

6
00:00:31,097 --> 00:00:42,075
And now, direct from Grace
Street at Morningside, here are
your hosts, Jim and Lori Bakker.

7
00:00:42,075 --> 00:00:43,610
[Pastor Jim] Hello everyone.

8
00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:46,146
Welcome to Grace Street.

9
00:00:46,146 --> 00:00:50,683
Great to have you here back
today with Rabbi Jonathan Cahn.

10
00:00:50,683 --> 00:00:52,719
Thank you, Rabbi.

11
00:00:52,719 --> 00:01:00,693
[Rabbi Cahn] So he will
do everything he can to keep
the Jewish people out of
Israel and out of Jerusalem.

12
00:01:00,693 --> 00:01:08,802
And out of the temple
mount because that's
the center of it all.

13
00:01:08,802 --> 00:01:10,103
That's what has to be.

14
00:01:10,103 --> 00:01:12,071
So notice, what's on that mount?

15
00:01:12,071 --> 00:01:16,376
What's on that mount
is this dome of Allah.

16
00:01:16,376 --> 00:01:19,913
It's like the enemy's saying
"Right here, you can't come in.

17
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:21,448
I've put my claim into
here, I'm going to stop you.

18
00:01:21,448 --> 00:01:22,582
Go to the other side."

19
00:01:22,582 --> 00:01:23,516
We were there.

20
00:01:23,516 --> 00:01:25,151
"Go to the eastern Gate."

21
00:01:25,151 --> 00:01:28,621
It says Messiahs is going
to, the Lord is going to
come through that gate.

22
00:01:28,621 --> 00:01:29,722
And so what do they do?

23
00:01:29,722 --> 00:01:34,294
They locked up the gate,
they have a cannon on the
other side, like that's
going to stop the Messiah.

24
00:01:34,294 --> 00:01:37,197
And they literally block it up.

25
00:01:37,197 --> 00:01:38,731
I mean that's like the enemy.

26
00:01:38,731 --> 00:01:39,966
"I'll block up whatever
God has for you.

27
00:01:39,966 --> 00:01:41,501
I'm going to try
to block it up."

28
00:01:41,501 --> 00:01:45,138
Yet by doing that,
by blocking it up, it says
in the scripture in Ezekiel

29
00:01:45,138 --> 00:01:49,008
that the gate shall be sealed before the Lord came in.

30
00:01:49,008 --> 00:01:53,012
So they're actually
trying to stop God's
prophecy, they're actually
fulfilling God's prophecy.

31
00:01:53,012 --> 00:01:56,749
[Pastor Jim] If you don't
believe the Bible, this is
an eternal warfare

32
00:01:56,749 --> 00:02:01,454
that is trying to keep King Jesus from coming back.

33
00:02:01,454 --> 00:02:06,593
But all Hell can't do it and
all religion can't do it.

34
00:02:06,593 --> 00:02:08,895
No one can stop Him.

35
00:02:08,895 --> 00:02:12,232
And Satan has tried
for a long time.

36
00:02:12,232 --> 00:02:13,600
[Rabbi Cahn] Absolutely.

37
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:20,473
And we you were from another
planet and we came visiting this
world, and we knew nothing about
anything, and we just looked at

38
00:02:20,473 --> 00:02:29,215
what's happening in the world,
we just looked at why is this,
all the forces of darkness

39
00:02:29,215 --> 00:02:30,850
are attacking this one people to wipe them out.

40
00:02:30,850 --> 00:02:32,519
We'd say there's got to
be something going on
with this one people.

41
00:02:32,519 --> 00:02:38,858
So if the enemy could have
wiped out the Jewish people,
there would be no Jewish people
for Jesus to come back to.

42
00:02:38,858 --> 00:02:42,428
So he knows that, he knows that.

43
00:02:42,428 --> 00:02:46,566
He came in the first time
through the Jewish people,
He's coming in the second time
through the Jewish people.

44
00:02:46,566 --> 00:02:47,667
So the enemy knows that.

45
00:02:47,667 --> 00:02:54,340
That explains thousands
of years of the dragon going
crazy to wipe out these people.

46
00:02:54,340 --> 00:02:59,512
That explains anti-Semitism,
that explains the Holocaust,
that explains Hitler, that
explains all of it,

47
00:02:59,512 --> 00:03:01,414
because the enemy knows.

48
00:03:01,414 --> 00:03:04,951
The Bible's real, there's a real
God and there's a real enemy.

49
00:03:04,951 --> 00:03:16,396
And it all focuses on Israel,
the land of Israel, the people
of Israel, the book of Israel,
and this figure, this one unique

50
00:03:16,396 --> 00:03:20,099
figure who is unlike anyone
in the world, this one Jewish
rabbi, around which the entire
history of the world,

51
00:03:20,099 --> 00:03:21,334
every date focuses on.

52
00:03:21,334 --> 00:03:26,105
I mean, if we were Martians
we'd know it right away.

53
00:03:26,105 --> 00:03:31,678
It's so obvious, I think
we're used to living
in this neighborhood
that we don't see it.

54
00:03:31,678 --> 00:03:32,745
It's so incredible, the story.

55
00:03:32,745 --> 00:03:39,586
[Pastor Jim] If you would just
study the Jews, where they've
been, what they've been through,
and the Bible,

56
00:03:39,586 --> 00:03:42,155
you would become a believer.

57
00:03:42,155 --> 00:03:53,299
And I think every Jew that
actually starts studying,
I know millions of Jewish
people have come to Jesus.

58
00:03:53,299 --> 00:03:55,268
So many are coming to Jesus.

59
00:03:55,268 --> 00:03:58,938
People wouldn't even
know it, because there
are a lot of really quiet
people accepting Messiah.

60
00:03:58,938 --> 00:04:10,750
Don't you feel like, just
the history of the Holocaust,
the history of all we see, the
history of Spain, the history of

61
00:04:10,750 --> 00:04:22,695
Hitler, the history of all
of these things points to one
thing, the devil has tried to
thwart the plan of Almighty God.

62
00:04:22,695 --> 00:04:24,631
He's trying to stop it.

63
00:04:24,631 --> 00:04:30,336
He doesn't want the temple
ever rebuilt, he doesn't want
any of these things to happen.

64
00:04:30,336 --> 00:04:35,341
It seems like they're
unsurmountable problems.

65
00:04:35,341 --> 00:04:39,178
But yet the Bible
keeps being fulfilled.

66
00:04:39,178 --> 00:04:45,018
We've got very little before
the coming of the Lord, but
some very important things
that have to take place.

67
00:04:45,018 --> 00:04:48,488
[Rabbi Cahn] Yes, and it
always looks impossible
until it happens.

68
00:04:48,488 --> 00:04:54,160
For the Jewish people to come
back to Israel seemed impossible
for most of 2000 years.

69
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,932
If you read Bible commentary,
most people who were preaching
from pulpits were saying
it's never going to happen.

70
00:04:59,932 --> 00:05:03,336
It's impossible, God's
finished, it's all spiritual,
it's not going to happen.

71
00:05:03,336 --> 00:05:05,204
But God said it was
going to happen.

72
00:05:05,204 --> 00:05:10,376
God said, "I'm going to bring
them back," and if God says
something, He's going to do it.

73
00:05:10,376 --> 00:05:14,747
So it seemed impossible, and
it was under Islamic rule,
the Turkish Empire, for
400 years, and before that.

74
00:05:14,747 --> 00:05:17,517
There's no way the Jewish
people could come back
there and be their land.

75
00:05:17,517 --> 00:05:26,125
Yet God, He does it through
World War I, the prophetic
Jubilee of 1917, the other one,
opens all of the sudden,

76
00:05:26,125 --> 00:05:30,496
empires rise and fall, and the
land opens for His people.

77
00:05:30,496 --> 00:05:33,433
And then they said, "Well
they'll never get Jerusalem."

78
00:05:33,433 --> 00:05:41,474
Well, then comes the Six Day War
in the other prophetic Jubilee,
and Jordan enters in, and Israel
says don't enter in, enters in,

79
00:05:41,474 --> 00:05:43,242
Jordan has Jerusalem,
and what happens?

80
00:05:43,242 --> 00:05:44,544
Jerusalem is back.

81
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:51,084
Everybody said it can't happen,
it's impossible, even Jewish
people said it's impossible, but
God didn't get the memo, it had

82
00:05:51,084 --> 00:05:52,418
to happen.

83
00:05:52,418 --> 00:05:54,420
He doesn't care
what's impossible.

84
00:05:54,420 --> 00:05:55,555
If He says it, He'll do it.

85
00:05:55,555 --> 00:05:58,624
So it's amazing,
it's exactly that.

86
00:05:58,624 --> 00:06:01,728
Everything you look at,
okay, what about the temple?

87
00:06:01,728 --> 00:06:02,829
Well that seems impossible.

88
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:04,864
But God has a way of doing
those impossible things.

89
00:06:04,864 --> 00:06:07,967
But everything He said, He did.

90
00:06:07,967 --> 00:06:10,670
Everything that He said
was going to come has come.

91
00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:13,940
Usually it happens through war.

92
00:06:13,940 --> 00:06:16,008
Usually it is war.

93
00:06:16,008 --> 00:06:19,846
And just to take it home for
a second and sow in our lives.

94
00:06:19,846 --> 00:06:26,185
God has a calling, the enemy
does everything he can to mess
it up, stop it, distract it,
hinder it, put things in your

95
00:06:26,185 --> 00:06:34,227
way, and attack you like crazy,
discourage you, but if God said
it and you're in the will of
God, God will do it, keep going,

96
00:06:34,227 --> 00:06:38,698
be strong and enter in,
it's going to happen.

97
00:06:38,698 --> 00:06:40,299
You may not see how,
but it's going to happen
if you keep going.

98
00:06:40,299 --> 00:06:43,202
Don't give up, that's
what the enemy wants.

99
00:06:43,202 --> 00:06:45,204
Don't give up and
God will do it.

100
00:06:45,204 --> 00:06:48,875
Don't be discouraged.

101
00:06:48,875 --> 00:06:50,309
[Lori] I needed that word today.

102
00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:51,611
That was good.

103
00:06:51,611 --> 00:07:00,586
[Pastor Jim] A few days ago I
was researching for a show, and
I was looking up some history
facts, trying to put all my

104
00:07:00,586 --> 00:07:02,188
information together.

105
00:07:02,188 --> 00:07:13,065
I look back to the
Jubilee of 1966, 1967.

106
00:07:13,065 --> 00:07:14,934
You remember that
year of Jubilee?

107
00:07:14,934 --> 00:07:18,070
[Rabbi Cahn] I do.

108
00:07:18,070 --> 00:07:19,238
[Pastor Jim] You just
mentioned it to us.

109
00:07:19,238 --> 00:07:20,740
Then 1917 was before.

110
00:07:20,740 --> 00:07:28,781
So I looked this up, and I
looked up my own history.

111
00:07:28,781 --> 00:07:36,823
I Googled, because I had the
privilege of hosting the 700
Club for the first time, for
the first six years of it.

112
00:07:36,823 --> 00:07:44,430
So I type in "The 700 Club."

113
00:07:44,430 --> 00:07:47,366
And bam, it pops up.

114
00:07:47,366 --> 00:07:55,675
The 700 Club started in the
Jubilee year 50 years ago.

115
00:07:55,675 --> 00:08:00,079
And it says in the history, I
didn't think it was even written
anywhere,

116
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:07,720
"Jim Bakker was the first host for the first six years of the 700 Club."

117
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:13,759
The world's longest running
religious show, as far as we
know, it says in the history.

118
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:20,199
So here I am in another Jubilee.

119
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:27,907
I had the privilege of helping
start Christian television, and
start the 700 Club show in the
year of Jubilee, 50 years ago,

120
00:08:27,907 --> 00:08:36,215
and here I am now restored,
gone through some valleys of the
shadow of death, perhaps, coming
back, and having everything

121
00:08:36,215 --> 00:08:43,656
restored right now in
the year of Jubilee.

122
00:08:43,656 --> 00:08:47,560
And you've taught me so much
to honor what God honors.

123
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:51,430
To honor His dates, to honor His
time, because He doesn't change.

124
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:52,899
[Rabbi Cahn] No.

125
00:08:52,899 --> 00:08:54,500
And He's exact.

126
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:55,902
And He's exact and on time.

127
00:08:55,902 --> 00:09:00,673
[Pastor Jim] Is it true your
father was born in Germany?

128
00:09:00,673 --> 00:09:02,375
[Rabbi Cahn] Yes.

129
00:09:02,375 --> 00:09:03,609
Under Hitler.

130
00:09:03,609 --> 00:09:04,343
[Pastor Jim] You're kidding.

131
00:09:04,343 --> 00:09:06,045
[Rabbi Cahn] He grew
up under Hitler.

132
00:09:06,045 --> 00:09:10,016
[Pastor Jim] We don't
talk about that.

133
00:09:10,016 --> 00:09:12,251
[Rabbi Cahn] No, but
it's part of the story.

134
00:09:12,251 --> 00:09:14,654
It's part of this story that
we're talking about, too.

135
00:09:14,654 --> 00:09:18,224
[Pastor Jim] Is it in the movie?

136
00:09:18,224 --> 00:09:19,825
[Rabbi Cahn] It should
be in The Harbinger Man.

137
00:09:19,825 --> 00:09:28,668
[Pastor Jim] Your father
was under, how old,
is your father alive?

138
00:09:28,668 --> 00:09:37,043
[Rabbi Cahn] No, he grew
up in the '20s, he was born
there, when he was about 10
years old Hitler took over.

139
00:09:37,043 --> 00:09:39,478
And that changed everything.

140
00:09:39,478 --> 00:09:42,114
That changed
everything, everything.

141
00:09:42,114 --> 00:09:45,751
And we're talking about,
it's the big picture we're
talking about with the enemy.

142
00:09:45,751 --> 00:09:47,653
That's how real it is.

143
00:09:47,653 --> 00:09:49,355
And I believe they
have a clip of that.

144
00:09:49,355 --> 00:09:53,826
My father came from Germany.

145
00:09:53,826 --> 00:10:02,101
His name is Arno Cahn, and Arno
is an anagram of Aaron, because
he was of the Aaronic line, the
lineage, and he was named after,

146
00:10:02,101 --> 00:10:09,475
a few generations back,
another Aaron Cahn, which
actually in Hebrew means,
"Aaron the priest."

147
00:10:09,475 --> 00:10:11,811
So it was a long line.

148
00:10:11,811 --> 00:10:16,449
And he grew up in the 1920s
under the Weimar Republic
in Cologne, Germany.

149
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:20,886
And when he was around 10
years old, Hitler took over.

150
00:10:20,886 --> 00:10:27,259
That began a series of
changes, it was kind of like
a noose tightening on the
Jewish people of Germany.

151
00:10:27,259 --> 00:10:35,634
He had relatives that escaped
early on and went to Israel,
and they're there to this day.

152
00:10:35,634 --> 00:10:43,075
But as it went on, the
persecution increased, and the
German Jews were separated, and
he was taken out of school,

153
00:10:43,075 --> 00:10:50,716
put into a purely Jewish school.

154
00:10:50,716 --> 00:10:53,185
He had to say, "Heil
Hitler" if he went into the
post office to get a stamp.

155
00:10:53,185 --> 00:11:02,995
It was just increasing until
1938, Kristallnacht, when the
Nazis had a rampage against
burning synagogues across

156
00:11:02,995 --> 00:11:08,667
Germany, destroying Jewish
shops, and he remembers that
day, seeing all the devastation.

157
00:11:08,667 --> 00:11:14,673
And that was a real wake-up call
for the Jews of Germany that
they knew there was really no
way out, that this was going to

158
00:11:14,673 --> 00:11:20,146
continue to something
like the Holocaust.

159
00:11:20,146 --> 00:11:25,751
So they embarked on what was
called the kindertransport.

160
00:11:25,751 --> 00:11:28,921
They sent their kids, their
children, out of Germany.

161
00:11:28,921 --> 00:11:34,160
So thousands and thousands
and thousands of German-Jewish
children were sent out.

162
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:40,733
So my father was put on a train
by his father, and he remembers
his mother weeping and his
father saying, "You'll probably

163
00:11:40,733 --> 00:11:48,374
never see your mother again,
say goodbye," and he never did.

164
00:11:48,374 --> 00:11:49,842
[Lori] Wow.

165
00:11:49,842 --> 00:11:51,977
That's part of Rabbi's story.

166
00:11:51,977 --> 00:11:53,579
[Pastor Jim] Your family
goes back to the Holocaust.

167
00:11:53,579 --> 00:11:54,713
[Rabbi Cahn] Yeah.

168
00:11:54,713 --> 00:11:59,351
There are relatives I
never met because of that.

169
00:11:59,351 --> 00:12:03,923
And so my father was there,
I believe 1938 or 39.

170
00:12:03,923 --> 00:12:09,728
So the German Jews knew,
many of them knew there
was something coming.

171
00:12:09,728 --> 00:12:11,630
So they sent their children out.

172
00:12:11,630 --> 00:12:19,305
It was called a
kindertransport, the child's
transport, and they were put
on trains heading to England.

173
00:12:19,305 --> 00:12:27,413
So my father left, never saw his
mother again, my grandfather,
his father, stayed in Germany
till 1941, which is really late.

174
00:12:27,413 --> 00:12:31,617
He was getting other Jews
out, that's what he was
doing until he escaped.

175
00:12:31,617 --> 00:12:37,456
And so my father ended up being
in England, they were in England
in Liverpool, as a teenager.

176
00:12:37,456 --> 00:12:48,400
And then the war broke out, and
Hitler started sending Nazis
dressed as refugees, talk about
refugee problem, into England.

177
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:56,242
So England, what they did is
they rounded up all the Germans
that would come in, and that was
Nazis and Jews together,

178
00:12:56,242 --> 00:13:04,583
they didn't differentiate, put
them on ships together, and
ship them off to prison camp.

179
00:13:04,583 --> 00:13:09,088
So my father was put on a ship
through the waters of World War
II, I think the ship before him
was sunk by a submarine,

180
00:13:09,088 --> 00:13:13,492
went across the ocean to
Canada where they put them
in a prisoner of war camp.

181
00:13:13,492 --> 00:13:15,294
And that's where he was.

182
00:13:15,294 --> 00:13:20,166
And then finally the
Canadians realized, wait a
minute, these ones aren't.

183
00:13:20,166 --> 00:13:26,539
The older Jewish people taught
the younger Jewish kids, using
toilet paper, taught them
education in the prison camp.

184
00:13:26,539 --> 00:13:34,180
So finally he was sponsored
to get out, he got out, they
sponsored him to go to college,
he became a scientist, chemist,

185
00:13:34,180 --> 00:13:39,885
came down to America, met my
mother, who was also studying
to be a scientist with a PhD.

186
00:13:39,885 --> 00:13:41,420
That's how it happened.

187
00:13:41,420 --> 00:13:47,760
And my mother, we won't go into
my mother's family, came only
because they were escaping the
Czar of Russia to wipe them out.

188
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,930
So this is what the Bible says.

189
00:13:50,930 --> 00:13:55,935
And we talk about the
enemy, well this is real.

190
00:13:55,935 --> 00:14:00,406
And the thing is that through
the Holocaust Israel came back
into the world through that.

191
00:14:00,406 --> 00:14:10,082
I would not exist if it
wasn't for Hitler, and
God saving from Hitler.

192
00:14:10,082 --> 00:14:15,788
Because it was only because of
this evil that drove the Jewish
people out, to escape,

193
00:14:15,788 --> 00:14:18,357
that's why my father came here and met my mother.

194
00:14:18,357 --> 00:14:22,161
God works all things
through all things.

195
00:14:22,161 --> 00:14:24,997
And He uses all the bad
to produce good as well.

196
00:14:24,997 --> 00:14:26,165
All things.

197
00:14:26,165 --> 00:14:32,905
[Pastor Jim] How do you keep
from just being so bitter?

198
00:14:32,905 --> 00:14:35,908
[Rabbi Cahn] Well, a few things.

199
00:14:35,908 --> 00:14:41,614
If anything shows the truth
of the Bible, it was that.

200
00:14:41,614 --> 00:14:53,792
The Holocaust shows how evil
sin is, how evil man is when
he falls, how real Satan
is, how true the Bible is.

201
00:14:53,792 --> 00:14:59,598
We've said before, Jewish
people have been like sheep
without their shepherd.

202
00:14:59,598 --> 00:15:06,238
They need that shepherd
more than anyone, because
He was first there.

203
00:15:06,238 --> 00:15:06,905
Without that, they are helpless.

204
00:15:06,905 --> 00:15:09,742
It shows that.

205
00:15:09,742 --> 00:15:11,410
If anybody was
Satanic, it was Hitler.

206
00:15:11,410 --> 00:15:17,082
And why was he obsessed,
more than even the war, to
destroy the Jewish people?

207
00:15:17,082 --> 00:15:17,616
Why?

208
00:15:17,616 --> 00:15:19,318
Because the enemy's obsessed.

209
00:15:19,318 --> 00:15:22,288
So to me it shows
the darkness of it.

210
00:15:22,288 --> 00:15:23,989
That's why Jesus wept.

211
00:15:23,989 --> 00:15:27,159
When He said, "Oh Jerusalem,
you will be taken captive."

212
00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:29,495
He said it, in all
nations, in all nations.

213
00:15:29,495 --> 00:15:30,996
That's why He wept.

214
00:15:30,996 --> 00:15:32,598
He wept for His people.

215
00:15:32,598 --> 00:15:40,139
It also tells you that most of
the majority in every nation
went along with the Nazis.

216
00:15:40,139 --> 00:15:41,340
That's human nature.

217
00:15:41,340 --> 00:15:49,648
It was only the resistance,
which one of the messages is
about that, but it was only the
resistance, and the small parts.

218
00:15:49,648 --> 00:15:56,355
And Christians, real Christians,
who were putting their
lives where their faith was, who
actually housed Jewish people.

219
00:15:56,355 --> 00:16:01,593
Most people go along with
whatever the majority
does, good or evil.

220
00:16:01,593 --> 00:16:04,797
Most do it in America
today, as it was back then.

221
00:16:04,797 --> 00:16:06,465
Most go along with it.

222
00:16:06,465 --> 00:16:12,771
It's only those who are willing
to stand up and stick their neck
out and say, "I don't care, I'm
standing for what is the truth."

223
00:16:12,771 --> 00:16:17,876
And some of those were believers
who said, "Listen, these
are the people of our savior
Jesus, we have to hide them.

224
00:16:17,876 --> 00:16:20,412
If we hide them,
we're hiding Jesus."

225
00:16:20,412 --> 00:16:25,651
So they're the
ones who hid them.

226
00:16:25,651 --> 00:16:28,854
Like Corrie ten Boom's
family, and the others
who went to the Holocaust.

227
00:16:28,854 --> 00:16:30,022
But those are the ones
that God says, "Well done,
good and faithful servant."

228
00:16:30,022 --> 00:16:33,425
They were the ones who
did what Jesus said to do.

229
00:16:33,425 --> 00:16:40,032
So the thing is that it
shows everything, how
real and true it is.

230
00:16:40,032 --> 00:16:47,072
I can't be, as far as the
German people, the German people
are like any people, and the
generation now is a different

231
00:16:47,072 --> 00:16:48,474
generation from then.

232
00:16:48,474 --> 00:16:55,881
But it shows you how evil is,
and if you don't truly have God,
you're vulnerable to the enemy.

233
00:16:55,881 --> 00:16:58,384
If you don't stand for
God with all your heart,
you're vulnerable.

234
00:16:58,384 --> 00:17:04,123
There are a lot of people who
are pastors, but I don't know
that they were born again, but
they were pastors, and they went

235
00:17:04,123 --> 00:17:07,192
all with Hitler, they
signed oaths to Hitler.

236
00:17:07,192 --> 00:17:10,295
Those who stood against him
were the few and far between.

237
00:17:10,295 --> 00:17:14,833
They had to pay, like
Bonhoeffer and those, they
had to pay a price for that.

238
00:17:14,833 --> 00:17:16,702
But that's what it comes
down to in the end.

239
00:17:16,702 --> 00:17:23,942
So no matter what your
generation is, it's still the
same issues, it's just some
are more dramatic than others.

240
00:17:23,942 --> 00:17:29,815
But this shows you when evil
comes, there was a void of
God in Germany in many ways.

241
00:17:29,815 --> 00:17:31,250
They were turning
away from the Bible.

242
00:17:31,250 --> 00:17:35,888
From Germany
came higher criticism, which
as the Bible, you can't really
believe it as the Word of God.

243
00:17:35,888 --> 00:17:37,122
That's where it came from.

244
00:17:37,122 --> 00:17:41,126
You push God out, the enemy
has an open field to come in.

245
00:17:41,126 --> 00:17:47,466
He did, he came in, and it's
like he possessed a man, Hitler,
and possessed an entire nation,

246
00:17:47,466 --> 00:17:49,067
for those who went along with him.

247
00:17:49,067 --> 00:17:50,836
It's supernatural.

248
00:17:50,836 --> 00:17:52,137
You cannot explain
this naturally.

249
00:17:52,137 --> 00:17:57,209
You cannot explain it
without dealing with the
enemy, and without God.

250
00:17:57,209 --> 00:18:02,981
And yet, through it all, God
used all of this to bring Israel
all of the prophecies back.

251
00:18:02,981 --> 00:18:08,086
It's like the enemy knew all the
prophecies were coming, all the
end time prophecies were coming.

252
00:18:08,086 --> 00:18:14,827
So is it coincidence that he
just went crazy at that time
to wipe them out, just before,
three years before all the

253
00:18:14,827 --> 00:18:18,630
prophecies of Israel were
about to be fulfilled?

254
00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:20,132
That's no accident.

255
00:18:20,132 --> 00:18:23,135
And yet by doing so, it actually
led to Israel coming back.

256
00:18:23,135 --> 00:18:29,842
God even uses the worst, He even
uses Hell, the worst, to bring
the promises of His kingdom.

257
00:18:29,842 --> 00:18:32,911
So God still has the last word.

258
00:18:32,911 --> 00:18:40,519
Hitler is gone, the Nazis
are gone, the Third Reich
is gone, but Israel lives.

259
00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:47,826
Israel lives, because
the God of Israel lives.

260
00:18:47,826 --> 00:18:59,438
But when my father was fleeing
Germany, came to England, he was
greeted by those who took him in

261
00:18:59,438 --> 00:19:00,205
who gave
him New Testaments in Germany.

262
00:19:00,205 --> 00:19:03,108
So they were even believers
who are reaching out to
the German-Jewish refugees.

263
00:19:03,108 --> 00:19:10,048
[Lori] It's so
fascinating, your story.

264
00:19:10,048 --> 00:19:11,683
[Rabbi Cahn] He actually
gave me that New Testament.

265
00:19:11,683 --> 00:19:20,926
[Pastor Jim] You know, the
video of your story is one of
the bonuses of this amazing
group of blessings here.

266
00:19:20,926 --> 00:19:28,133
And then the different
mysteries are all involved.

267
00:19:28,133 --> 00:19:30,836
The Holy Land Tour,
all of these things.

268
00:19:30,836 --> 00:19:40,212
But the Mysteries Volume
XIV is our brand new one,
and one of the mysteries is
called "The Way to Freedom."

269
00:19:40,212 --> 00:19:43,115
Can we talk about that today?

270
00:19:43,115 --> 00:19:45,350
[Rabbi Cahn] Sure.

271
00:19:45,350 --> 00:19:49,655
One of the things also
coming up is Hanukkah, and
Hanukkah has everything to
do with believers as well.

272
00:19:49,655 --> 00:19:57,462
But Hanukkah, more than any
other holy day from Biblical
times is the one that gives

273
00:19:57,462 --> 00:20:01,833
the most detailed foreshadow of the end times.

274
00:20:01,833 --> 00:20:04,770
It's the holy day that has
the abomination desolation.

275
00:20:04,770 --> 00:20:09,041
It's the holy day that
has a symbol, a foreshadow
of the Antichrist.

276
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:14,613
It's the holy day that has
a symbol of persecution,
and what God's are doing.

277
00:20:14,613 --> 00:20:16,381
So it gives the
strategy of that.

278
00:20:16,381 --> 00:20:24,489
One of the things in that album
is called "The Ways to Freedom,"
which is based on the keys in
the blueprint of Hanukkah, not

279
00:20:24,489 --> 00:20:30,796
only for the end-time believer,
it's so crucial to know
the keys, but this one is for
anybody, no matter what you're

280
00:20:30,796 --> 00:20:32,764
dealing with, to be free,
no matter what it is.

281
00:20:32,764 --> 00:20:39,805
From what the Maccabees did,
they're the ones who rose up
against this foreshadow of the
Antichrist, they rose up and

282
00:20:39,805 --> 00:20:41,373
they're the ones
who had victory.

283
00:20:41,373 --> 00:20:44,776
Crazy, should not have happened,
it was against all odds.

284
00:20:44,776 --> 00:20:46,979
They had no chance, and
yet they had victory.

285
00:20:46,979 --> 00:20:53,218
So I'm just going to touch on a
few things from the Maccabees,
from the account of Hanukkah.

286
00:20:53,218 --> 00:21:00,859
First key that they had,
it looked like everything was
hopeless, everybody was given
in to the evil, everyone was

287
00:21:00,859 --> 00:21:04,429
apostatizing,
they were going along,
in those days they were trying
to wipe out the faith of God,

288
00:21:04,429 --> 00:21:05,697
and it looks like they were doing it.

289
00:21:05,697 --> 00:21:10,869
They were abandoning Bibles,
they were abandoning everything,
and most Jewish people were
going along with it, just like

290
00:21:10,869 --> 00:21:12,571
we were talking about,
they were afraid.

291
00:21:12,571 --> 00:21:20,078
So the one man named
Mattathias, same as Matthew, he
says, "No, I don't care, and I
draw the line in the sand here.

292
00:21:20,078 --> 00:21:23,015
From here on in, I'm following
God no matter what happens."

293
00:21:23,015 --> 00:21:25,083
It all begins with that one act.

294
00:21:25,083 --> 00:21:30,489
So the first thing about
overcoming anything in your
life, bondage, whatever
the enemy puts on you.

295
00:21:30,489 --> 00:21:36,261
The first thing is you've
got to have hope, because
if you don't have hope,
you won't do anything.

296
00:21:36,261 --> 00:21:40,365
If you don't believe, if you
don't have hope in God, you're
not going to do anything else.

297
00:21:40,365 --> 00:21:41,533
We have this hope.

298
00:21:41,533 --> 00:21:45,003
First you have to
believe what God said.

299
00:21:45,003 --> 00:21:46,505
God says you can be free,
you've got to believe it.

300
00:21:46,505 --> 00:21:50,375
If you don't believe it,
you're believing this sin
over what God says, you're
not going to have it.

301
00:21:50,375 --> 00:21:54,713
If you're believing
this situation over
God's Word, you're not
going to have a victory.

302
00:21:54,713 --> 00:21:58,350
Believe
His Word even if you don't
feel it, you don't see it,

303
00:21:58,350 --> 00:22:01,853
you don't have any evidence of
it, believe God's Word, have
hope.

304
00:22:01,853 --> 00:22:04,856
I can be free, I can be
victorious, God says it.

305
00:22:04,856 --> 00:22:07,159
And this is not some prosperity
thing, this is what God said.

306
00:22:07,159 --> 00:22:09,194
Freedom is of God.

307
00:22:09,194 --> 00:22:16,168
Number two, what also Mattathias
did is he said, "You know what,
I'm taking responsibility here.

308
00:22:16,168 --> 00:22:23,542
I am accountable before God,
so I am not going to compromise,
I'm not going to give in, I'm
not going to participate in this

309
00:22:23,542 --> 00:22:25,911
apostasy, I'm going
to draw the line."

310
00:22:25,911 --> 00:22:27,479
So he does it.

311
00:22:27,479 --> 00:22:31,083
This is the next key,
take responsibility.

312
00:22:31,083 --> 00:22:36,221
A slave has no responsibility,
because a slave has
to do what they have to do.

313
00:22:36,221 --> 00:22:37,422
Not their actions.

314
00:22:37,422 --> 00:22:41,626
They're doing it, they
don't want to do it,
but they're doing it.

315
00:22:41,626 --> 00:22:42,627
But a free person
has responsibility.

316
00:22:42,627 --> 00:22:43,795
You're accountable.

317
00:22:43,795 --> 00:22:50,502
When you're a victim,
when you go around your life
as a victim, blaming others,
you are giving away freedom.

318
00:22:50,502 --> 00:22:56,675
You are saying everything
in your life is
their responsibility, you
are taking away freedom.

319
00:22:56,675 --> 00:22:59,444
You're saying, "I'm a
victim, I have no choice."

320
00:22:59,444 --> 00:23:03,081
Well then it's not worth
it, becoming a victim.

321
00:23:03,081 --> 00:23:07,452
Other people will do those
things, you're aware of it,
but my thing is with God.

322
00:23:07,452 --> 00:23:08,353
What did God do?

323
00:23:08,353 --> 00:23:10,422
So taking responsibility.

324
00:23:10,422 --> 00:23:14,626
How can you have Messiah
as your savior if you
don't take responsibility?

325
00:23:14,626 --> 00:23:17,095
He died for your
sins, for our sins.

326
00:23:17,095 --> 00:23:19,664
We have to take responsibility
for that to kick in.

327
00:23:19,664 --> 00:23:22,134
Or else it doesn't
mean anything.

328
00:23:22,134 --> 00:23:25,771
If I can blame everybody
else, what's Him
dying for my sins about?

329
00:23:25,771 --> 00:23:30,976
So the blessing of salvation
comes, but we have to take
responsibility, only then can we
repent, and in repenting there's

330
00:23:30,976 --> 00:23:33,178
a choice that we have.

331
00:23:33,178 --> 00:23:37,015
I'm just doing these very quick,
but these are so important.

332
00:23:37,015 --> 00:23:41,419
The next thing is decision.

333
00:23:41,419 --> 00:23:45,423
He made a decision,
Mattathias, "I am now going to
go against this, I'm not going
to offer this up to this idol.

334
00:23:45,423 --> 00:23:47,392
In fact, I'm going to
rise up against him."

335
00:23:47,392 --> 00:23:48,627
He made a decision.

336
00:23:48,627 --> 00:23:52,864
The word "decision," decide,
like incision means "to cut."

337
00:23:52,864 --> 00:23:54,199
Cut away.

338
00:23:54,199 --> 00:24:00,238
So the decision is so powerful
if it's in God, to make the
decision, "Listen, I'm not going
to go back and forth, today I

339
00:24:00,238 --> 00:24:01,640
make the decision.

340
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:07,012
I'm cutting that off, I'm
closing that door, I am
going here, I am not going
here from here on in.

341
00:24:07,012 --> 00:24:09,681
God help me if I mess up,
but God help me, He will.

342
00:24:09,681 --> 00:24:11,349
But I'm making the decision."

343
00:24:11,349 --> 00:24:13,852
Powerful, powerful for God.

344
00:24:13,852 --> 00:24:21,660
The next thing is, I'm going
very quick, is that they had
to take courage, because the
odds against them were too big.

345
00:24:21,660 --> 00:24:23,628
They weren't even fighters.

346
00:24:23,628 --> 00:24:29,701
They didn't have arms,
they didn't have ammunition,
they didn't have skills, they
were outnumbered, outmatched,

347
00:24:29,701 --> 00:24:30,702
outmanned, everything.

348
00:24:30,702 --> 00:24:36,074
But they said, "You know what,
we have God, so we're going to
take courage, we're going to do
the right thing come what may,

349
00:24:36,074 --> 00:24:38,143
whatever happens,
we're with God.

350
00:24:38,143 --> 00:24:40,078
We're okay because
we're with God."

351
00:24:40,078 --> 00:24:41,012
So they rose up.

352
00:24:41,012 --> 00:24:44,416
And you know, every calling
of God requires courage.

353
00:24:44,416 --> 00:24:48,954
Every calling of God requires
going against your fear.

354
00:24:48,954 --> 00:24:50,222
I mean, look at it.

355
00:24:50,222 --> 00:24:52,157
Abraham, there were things
to fear, but he went.

356
00:24:52,157 --> 00:24:54,993
Moses was afraid, he was afraid.

357
00:24:54,993 --> 00:24:57,896
The moment they're calling,
"I can't, I'm not able."

358
00:24:57,896 --> 00:25:00,131
"Go against your fear,
Moses, I'm with you."

359
00:25:00,131 --> 00:25:05,036
David going against
Goliath, there had to
be a lot of fear there.

360
00:25:05,036 --> 00:25:08,807
A courageous person
is not somebody who doesn't
feel fear, it's someone who
overcomes the fear they have.

361
00:25:08,807 --> 00:25:12,244
That's what makes
them courageous.

362
00:25:12,244 --> 00:25:13,245
That's what makes
you courageous.

363
00:25:13,245 --> 00:25:17,983
Elijah had fear, Jeremiah
was afraid, everybody
when their calling comes,
"Oh Lord, we can't do it."

364
00:25:17,983 --> 00:25:27,192
And every single one God
required, "Okay, but I want you,
I'm requiring you to go against
your fear, step out, go against

365
00:25:27,192 --> 00:25:28,426
it, because I'm with you.

366
00:25:28,426 --> 00:25:29,561
That's part of the whole thing.

367
00:25:29,561 --> 00:25:34,900
Go against your fear, don't
believe the enemy, go against
your fear, and move to your
calling, move to freedom.

368
00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:40,639
The other thing, the next key,
in a quick nutshell, is that the
Maccabees were men of action.

369
00:25:40,639 --> 00:25:42,440
They had to take action.

370
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,176
So it's one thing to believe,
it's another thing to act.

371
00:25:45,176 --> 00:25:46,344
We need both.

372
00:25:46,344 --> 00:25:50,448
If you believe and you don't
act on that belief, you are
not strong as you're to be.

373
00:25:50,448 --> 00:25:54,719
The person who hears the
word and puts it into action
becomes like a man on a rock.

374
00:25:54,719 --> 00:26:00,458
So the key is, a lot
of times God tells people,
"There's a healing for you,
but you can do something."

375
00:26:00,458 --> 00:26:02,727
It's all grace, but you've
got to do something.

376
00:26:02,727 --> 00:26:07,666
Blind man, you're blind, but
you need to go down to that
Pool of Siloam and do this.

377
00:26:07,666 --> 00:26:09,968
Or hey, you get up,
take your pallet.

378
00:26:09,968 --> 00:26:13,338
He often gave something, and
that's part of obedience,
but there's an action.

379
00:26:13,338 --> 00:26:20,378
Often it's the action, the faith
in action, that unleashes, that
breaks the bond that's there.

380
00:26:20,378 --> 00:26:21,846
But you've got to take it.

381
00:26:21,846 --> 00:26:24,950
Don't just have love in here,
take the action of love.

382
00:26:24,950 --> 00:26:26,918
Don't just have faith,
take the action of faith.

383
00:26:26,918 --> 00:26:28,520
Don't just have hope,
take an action of hope.

384
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,423
That opens it up for victory.

385
00:26:31,423 --> 00:26:34,359
Another thing they had to do
is they had to become fighters.

386
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,262
They had to learn how to
become fighters, the Maccabees.

387
00:26:37,262 --> 00:26:38,530
We have to be fighters.

388
00:26:38,530 --> 00:26:39,931
We cannot take it lying down.

389
00:26:39,931 --> 00:26:41,666
The enemy will always attack.

390
00:26:41,666 --> 00:26:45,937
So if we're not fighting, we're
in a boxing ring not attacking,
they're going to get us.

391
00:26:45,937 --> 00:26:47,672
Spiritually we have
to become fighters.

392
00:26:47,672 --> 00:26:49,941
That's why it says,
"Fight the good faith."

393
00:26:49,941 --> 00:26:55,714
Don't just accept the mess up,
don't accept the problem, don't
accept all that, this is what
it is, and go crazy about it.

394
00:26:55,714 --> 00:26:57,048
Fight it.

395
00:26:57,048 --> 00:27:00,018
Even if you're down, don't
accept being down, fight it.

396
00:27:00,018 --> 00:27:01,653
That's the beginning,
it's not the end.

397
00:27:01,653 --> 00:27:02,620
It's the beginning.

398
00:27:02,620 --> 00:27:05,757
David was a fighter, but the
first fight was with him.

399
00:27:05,757 --> 00:27:10,462
He was down and
he said, "Hey soul, stop
being down, hope again."

400
00:27:10,462 --> 00:27:12,063
And then he could
get up and fight.

401
00:27:12,063 --> 00:27:13,264
Fight.

402
00:27:13,264 --> 00:27:15,934
The problem is not the end of
the story, it's the beginning
of what God's going to do.

403
00:27:15,934 --> 00:27:17,836
So fight it, don't
just accept it.

404
00:27:17,836 --> 00:27:19,537
Here's my chance to fight.

405
00:27:19,537 --> 00:27:25,844
And the other thing they had
to do, and I'll just do some of
what's on there, because again,
I can just do a thing,

406
00:27:25,844 --> 00:27:27,812
but take what you can get.

407
00:27:27,812 --> 00:27:32,917
The other thing is
they had to persevere.

408
00:27:32,917 --> 00:27:34,319
They had to keep going,
keep going, keep going.

409
00:27:34,319 --> 00:27:37,922
If you're in the fight with God,
we all have times when we're
down, we all have time when we
mess up, we all have times when

410
00:27:37,922 --> 00:27:41,693
it's just keep
going, keep going.

411
00:27:41,693 --> 00:27:43,728
It says the one who keeps
going is the one who wins.

412
00:27:43,728 --> 00:27:49,734
And you can fall a million times
in this race, as long as you
keep getting up every time you
fall and keep going you're going

413
00:27:49,734 --> 00:27:50,835
to cross the finish line.

414
00:27:50,835 --> 00:27:52,737
So keep going.

415
00:27:52,737 --> 00:27:57,142
The one who perseveres,
it's good to be loving,
but to persevere in
love is a lot better.

416
00:27:57,142 --> 00:27:59,677
It's good to have faith,
but to persevere in
faith is a lot better.

417
00:27:59,677 --> 00:28:03,448
It's good to walk in God,
but to persevere in that
walk is a lot better.

418
00:28:03,448 --> 00:28:08,319
The thing is, this race
is one that, it's not about
speed, it's about finishing.

419
00:28:08,319 --> 00:28:10,922
The promise is, if you
keep going you win.

420
00:28:10,922 --> 00:28:12,857
It's promised, it's an absolute.

421
00:28:12,857 --> 00:28:16,127
Keep going, keep going,
encourage yourself.

422
00:28:16,127 --> 00:28:20,231
And the last thing I'll
just throw in right now is,
what did they do when they
finally got the victory?

423
00:28:20,231 --> 00:28:27,672
It says they determined that
now we're going to celebrate
this, it's going to be called
the Feast of Dedication,

424
00:28:27,672 --> 00:28:32,744
we're dedicating the temple.

425
00:28:32,744 --> 00:28:35,146
It's going to be
called dedication, or
in Hebrew, Hanukkah.

426
00:28:35,146 --> 00:28:36,114
They vowed, "We're
going to celebrate."

427
00:28:36,114 --> 00:28:37,315
So what does that have
to do with victory?

428
00:28:37,315 --> 00:28:38,450
Well here's the
other thing about it.

429
00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:39,651
Joy is a powerful thing.

430
00:28:39,651 --> 00:28:41,786
The joy of God is
a powerful weapon.

431
00:28:41,786 --> 00:28:43,154
Powerful.

432
00:28:43,154 --> 00:28:48,059
It's not just great, it
doesn't just feel great,
it's actually a weapon.

433
00:28:48,059 --> 00:28:51,362
To have joy, it gives you power
to overcome all sorts of things.

434
00:28:51,362 --> 00:28:53,064
Temptation, depression.

435
00:28:53,064 --> 00:28:57,669
But the thing is, when
you have a victory of God,
celebrate the victory.

436
00:28:57,669 --> 00:29:03,908
In other words, you turn down
that sin, celebrate, thank God,
I'm going to rejoice in this.

437
00:29:03,908 --> 00:29:05,777
Because what you celebrate
is what you keep.

438
00:29:05,777 --> 00:29:08,279
What you don't
celebrate, you lose.

439
00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:09,747
So you celebrate your
wife, you keep your wife.

440
00:29:09,747 --> 00:29:12,851
You celebrate your husband,
you keep your husband.

441
00:29:12,851 --> 00:29:15,520
You celebrate the blessings.

442
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,991
But what you don't
celebrate, you end up losing.

443
00:29:19,991 --> 00:29:21,759
And that's true
with your victories.

444
00:29:21,759 --> 00:29:23,828
Celebrate your victories.

445
00:29:23,828 --> 00:29:27,465
Even when you have one little
victory, "Hey, I said no to
that sin today," get into it.

446
00:29:27,465 --> 00:29:28,867
Rejoice in the Lord.

447
00:29:28,867 --> 00:29:31,236
Rejoice in good things and you
won't rejoice in the bad things.

448
00:29:31,236 --> 00:29:35,373
Celebrate the things of God and
it's going to seal that victory.

449
00:29:35,373 --> 00:29:38,309
Celebrate again, whatever is
good, I'm going to have a party.

450
00:29:38,309 --> 00:29:41,312
Whatever it is, I'm going
to rejoice, I'm going
to praise God, I'm going
to get into that joy.

451
00:29:41,312 --> 00:29:45,450
But you're going to get into,
the more joy you get into the
good things, the more that's
going to stay in your life.

452
00:29:45,450 --> 00:29:47,352
And what happened
because of Hanukkah?

453
00:29:47,352 --> 00:29:52,924
Because of Hanukkah
came Christmas.

454
00:29:52,924 --> 00:29:57,795
It's because of Hanukkah,
if it wasn't for Hanukkah,
there would be no Jewish
people left in Israel.

455
00:29:57,795 --> 00:30:01,799
If it wasn't for Hanukkah,
you wouldn't have Joseph,
you wouldn't have Mary.

456
00:30:01,799 --> 00:30:07,105
If it wasn't for Hanukkah, you
wouldn't have the disciples,
you wouldn't have Jesus as the
king of the Jews in Israel.

457
00:30:07,105 --> 00:30:09,841
Hanukkah ends up bringing
Christmas in the end.

458
00:30:09,841 --> 00:30:13,044
But there was a fight
to it, there's a fight.

459
00:30:13,044 --> 00:30:15,980
And there's a good fight,
but the keys are there.

460
00:30:15,980 --> 00:30:19,117
But persevere, believe,
take the steps.

461
00:30:19,117 --> 00:30:22,520
God has promised us victory.

462
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,324
The Maccabees, it was a
hopeless cause, but they said
yes to God and God did it.

463
00:30:26,324 --> 00:30:31,262
At one point, if you read the
book of Maccabees, it's not
the Bible, but it's actually
history what God did.

464
00:30:31,262 --> 00:30:34,866
They say "Look we're
outnumbered, there's
too many of them."

465
00:30:34,866 --> 00:30:38,169
And one of them says
"You know what, it doesn't
matter how many there are."

466
00:30:38,169 --> 00:30:45,410
It says whether by many or
by few, the victory does not
belong to the many, it belongs
to those who are with God.

467
00:30:45,410 --> 00:30:47,378
And that's what they did.

468
00:30:47,378 --> 00:30:51,149
And they ended up being called
the Maccabees, which means the
hammers of God, the hammers.

469
00:30:51,149 --> 00:30:55,220
And they were the ones
God used ultimately to
open the way for Messiah.

470
00:30:55,220 --> 00:31:02,393
So we are guaranteed, it says
thanks be to God who always, not
sometimes, leads us to triumph.

471
00:31:02,393 --> 00:31:04,829
But we have to be part
of that triumph too.

472
00:31:04,829 --> 00:31:08,233
We have to fight the
good fight, and we will
be led to that triumph.

473
00:31:08,233 --> 00:31:11,436
[Lori] Amen, so good.

474
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:15,974
[Pastor Jim] So we ought to
celebrate Hanukkah too right?

475
00:31:15,974 --> 00:31:17,242
[Rabbi Cahn] Why not?

476
00:31:17,242 --> 00:31:20,612
[Pastor Jim] I mean
the non-Jewish people.

477
00:31:20,612 --> 00:31:21,479
[Rabbi Cahn] Why not?

478
00:31:21,479 --> 00:31:22,547
You don't have to be Jewish
to celebrate Hanukkah.

479
00:31:22,547 --> 00:31:24,182
I mean do whatever you like,
you're free, but why not?

480
00:31:24,182 --> 00:31:30,888
I mean as far as the timing is
concerned, it's more biblical
than the timing of Christmas.

481
00:31:30,888 --> 00:31:33,891
But we celebrate Messiah's
birth whenever you
want, but the point is.

482
00:31:33,891 --> 00:31:42,667
Listen, Jesus, here's one,
if you look at the Bible
and where in the Bible
is Hanukkah celebrated?

483
00:31:42,667 --> 00:31:45,403
Not in the Old Testament,
only in the New Testament.

484
00:31:45,403 --> 00:31:48,373
Only in the New Testament is
Hanukkah celebrated, only.

485
00:31:48,373 --> 00:31:50,608
And the one who
celebrates it is Jesus.

486
00:31:50,608 --> 00:31:54,512
The one whoever says Christmas,
he celebrated Hanukkah.

487
00:31:54,512 --> 00:32:01,519
When it says in John 10, it
says it was winter time and it
was the Feast of Dedication.

488
00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:04,389
Well you know we read
that, dedication, and
we say "What's that?

489
00:32:04,389 --> 00:32:05,356
I don't know what that is."

490
00:32:05,356 --> 00:32:07,959
Jewish believers read that
for years, they said "We have
no idea what that feast is.

491
00:32:07,959 --> 00:32:10,495
It's supposed to be a
Jewish feast, we have no
idea what dedication is."

492
00:32:10,495 --> 00:32:14,966
Dedication is simply
the English way of saying
the Hebrew word Hanukkah.

493
00:32:14,966 --> 00:32:20,071
It's the feast of Hanukkah
and Jesus was in the temple
because it was the feast
of Hanukkah in winter time.

494
00:32:20,071 --> 00:32:22,440
And he was there, there
were lights all over.

495
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,710
They were burning
their candle and their oil
lights and that's when he says

496
00:32:25,710 --> 00:32:27,679
"I am the Father of one, I am the light of the world."

497
00:32:27,679 --> 00:32:30,748
So he celebrated
that, so why not?

498
00:32:30,748 --> 00:32:35,987
And also, we won't get into it
now, but there's a deep thing
about Hanukkah, because the
other reason for celebrating

499
00:32:35,987 --> 00:32:40,825
Hanukkah, if you are led, is
that the Bible says Hanukkah is
about the rededication of what?

500
00:32:40,825 --> 00:32:42,527
Of the temple.

501
00:32:42,527 --> 00:32:44,996
There's no temple
today in Jerusalem.

502
00:32:44,996 --> 00:32:46,664
There's no temple yet.

503
00:32:46,664 --> 00:32:48,166
But the Bible says
where's the temple?

504
00:32:48,166 --> 00:32:50,034
It says you are the
temple, don't you know it?

505
00:32:50,034 --> 00:32:51,602
You are the temple of God.

506
00:32:51,602 --> 00:32:54,272
So this is about the
rededication of you.

507
00:32:54,272 --> 00:32:56,407
There's something really cool.

508
00:32:56,407 --> 00:32:58,576
So there's no reason not to.

509
00:32:58,576 --> 00:32:59,977
You don't have to, but
it's great to do it.

510
00:32:59,977 --> 00:33:01,379
It's wonderful to do it.

511
00:33:01,379 --> 00:33:02,413
Jesus did it.

512
00:33:02,413 --> 00:33:07,051
[Lori] We have a menorah
in our house, I look
at it every single day.

513
00:33:07,051 --> 00:33:10,521
So maybe this will be our
first Hanukkah celebration.

514
00:33:10,521 --> 00:33:12,657
[Rabbi Cahn] You just light
the candle, that's it.

515
00:33:12,657 --> 00:33:20,498
[Pastor Jim] We've been
sharing a little bit of your
story, The Harbinger Man.

516
00:33:20,498 --> 00:33:27,271
And what is your first
memories of childhood?

517
00:33:27,271 --> 00:33:31,576
We need to get you born, I don't
think we have you born yet.

518
00:33:31,576 --> 00:33:33,411
[Rabbi Cahn] You've
got to get me born.

519
00:33:33,411 --> 00:33:37,048
[Pastor Jim] In the
movie, in this story.

520
00:33:37,048 --> 00:33:39,484
You father was born in
Germany, and your mother was.

521
00:33:39,484 --> 00:33:44,589
[Rabbi Cahn] Mother's from
Russian immigrants and
she was born in Brooklyn.

522
00:33:44,589 --> 00:33:45,857
[Pastor Jim] Oh my land.

523
00:33:45,857 --> 00:33:47,291
And they met where?

524
00:33:47,291 --> 00:33:54,932
[Rabbi Cahn] They met in, they
both were studying for their
PHD's in chemistry and they met
in Purdue University, and that's

525
00:33:54,932 --> 00:33:57,068
how they came together.

526
00:33:57,068 --> 00:34:01,105
[Pastor Jim] So they're
somewhat an intellectual
couple I take it?

527
00:34:01,105 --> 00:34:03,741
[Rabbi Cahn] They
are, both scientists.

528
00:34:03,741 --> 00:34:09,313
[Pastor Jim] Oh, that's where
your great mind comes from,
you have wonderful parents.

529
00:34:09,313
[Rabbi Cahn] My mother said
they named me Jonathan David,
Jonathan David Cahn, and then
her father said to them

 --> 00:34:22,260
"You realize this is biblical?"

531
00:34:22,260 --> 00:34:24,929
He opened the Bible, her
father from Russia, he said
"Look it's here in the Bible."

532
00:34:24,929 --> 00:34:28,399
I don't think they
did it realizing, but
I think they might have
regretted it after that.

533
00:34:28,399 --> 00:34:32,437
But yeah, very scientific
and very intellectual.

534
00:34:32,437 --> 00:34:40,077
[Pastor Jim] So was there
anything in your childhood
that made you realize that
maybe there was a God?

535
00:34:40,077 --> 00:34:42,046
That there was
anything supernatural?

536
00:34:42,046 --> 00:34:44,515
[Rabbi Cahn] I went both ways.

537
00:34:44,515 --> 00:34:52,156
When I was very little,
when I was very little I
had this real sense of God.

538
00:34:52,156 --> 00:34:57,361
And sense of God talking
to me when I was really,
really, really little.

539
00:34:57,361 --> 00:35:01,065
But as I grew up, and I went
to Hebrew school and you'll see
it, I think they have a clip.

540
00:35:01,065 --> 00:35:04,035
That's when I said "You
know what, I don't see
the evidence of God here."

541
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:06,737
And so I became an atheist
when I was 8 years old.

542
00:35:06,737 --> 00:35:11,409
But that's when, it was
almost like I had to get
away in order to come back.

543
00:35:11,409 --> 00:35:17,682
But so I was raised going to
the synagogue, I was raised
going to Hebrew school.

544
00:35:17,682 --> 00:35:20,985
I was raised Passover,
Hanukkah, Yom Kippur, all that.

545
00:35:20,985 --> 00:35:26,190
Raised in all that.

546
00:35:26,190 --> 00:35:28,993
But I didn't see the real power,
the real evidence of God in the
people, in the lives around me.

547
00:35:28,993 --> 00:35:32,096
I never saw somebody with a
real relationship with God.

548
00:35:32,096 --> 00:35:36,467
So that brought a disconnect and
that's how I began to question.

549
00:35:36,467 --> 00:35:39,737
Well that's how I first
became an atheist, but that
led me ultimately to find God.

550
00:35:39,737 --> 00:35:45,543
So I believe they have a clip
and I believe in the clip you'll
actually see, they throw in
some little home movies,

551
00:35:45,543 --> 00:35:49,447
so you actually see a little
Jonathan there.

552
00:35:49,447 --> 00:35:54,252
But also I think at one point
I'm walking through a thing
that I'm talking about, the
synagogue, I'm actually walking

553
00:35:54,252 --> 00:35:55,987
through the synagogue
where I grew up.

554
00:35:55,987 --> 00:35:59,590
They didn't realize it was
me, but I was walking through
there, so if they have that.

555
00:35:59,590 --> 00:36:03,094
I was born in New
York, New York State.

556
00:36:03,094 --> 00:36:06,464
And grew up in this home,
it was reformed Jewish.

557
00:36:06,464 --> 00:36:08,332
They weren't very religious.

558
00:36:08,332 --> 00:36:15,006
They never really spoke
about their faith about it,
but never really religious.

559
00:36:15,006 --> 00:36:20,611
A scientific, secular
outlook kind of Agnostic, or
between Agnostic and Atheist.

560
00:36:20,611 --> 00:36:27,285
But my father would always
go to Synagogue for the Holy
days, like many Jewish people.

561
00:36:27,285 --> 00:36:35,760
But would go out, he would
bring me to Yom Kippur and Rash
Hashanah and we had Passover
every year, we had Hanukkah,

562
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,029
that was our version
of Christmas.

563
00:36:38,029 --> 00:36:42,366
That's what it became.

564
00:36:42,366 --> 00:36:45,336
I was brought up with
Jewish culture and I was
sent to Hebrew school.

565
00:36:45,336 --> 00:36:49,640
So I went to Hebrew school
from about first grade onwards.

566
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:56,814
And was told all about the
prophets and all about the God
of the Bible, the God of Israel

567
00:36:56,814 --> 00:36:59,116
and how
he spoke and how he moved.

568
00:36:59,116 --> 00:37:00,651
And all these things.

569
00:37:00,651 --> 00:37:06,624
But I never saw the reality
of the God of Israel in life.

570
00:37:06,624 --> 00:37:11,362
I never saw him
in the Synagogue.

571
00:37:11,362 --> 00:37:18,769
I remember being very, like 5
years old, a Jewish boy, little
bit older, said a strange thing.

572
00:37:18,769 --> 00:37:23,507
He said "You know God has not
spoken to our people in 2000.

573
00:37:23,507 --> 00:37:25,443
And do you know why?"

574
00:37:25,443 --> 00:37:30,448
I said no, he said "Because we
haven't been righteous enough."

575
00:37:30,448 --> 00:37:31,148
It's what he said.

576
00:37:31,148 --> 00:37:36,921
As you remember, kind of a weird
thing as alittle kid, but I
remember this disconnect between
the God of the Bible and God who

577
00:37:36,921 --> 00:37:43,127
spoke and moved and
did miracles, but there
was never any "Hey, God
is real in my life."

578
00:37:43,127 --> 00:37:45,062
The Rabbi never got up
and said "Hey, God spoke
to me, praise God!"

579
00:37:45,062 --> 00:37:46,664
You know, or "God
did this in my life."

580
00:37:46,664 --> 00:37:47,698
It just didn't happen.

581
00:37:47,698 --> 00:37:49,166
So it was a real disconnect.

582
00:37:49,166 --> 00:37:56,107
And so when I was 8 years old,
considering this disconnect,
I became an atheist.

583
00:37:56,107 --> 00:38:02,246
[Lori] Think about that, at
8 years old, that disconnect.

584
00:38:02,246 --> 00:38:09,553
It didn't make sense to your
8 year old brilliant brain
to even think that you would
become an atheist at that age.

585
00:38:09,553 --> 00:38:11,055
To have that knowing.

586
00:38:11,055 --> 00:38:14,392
[Rabbi Cahn] I was saying
"Where is the God of Elijah?

587
00:38:14,392 --> 00:38:17,361
Where is the God of Jeremiah?

588
00:38:17,361 --> 00:38:21,365
I see them up there, but I
don't see any evidence of
God in the Hebrew school.

589
00:38:21,365 --> 00:38:23,167
I don't see any."

590
00:38:23,167 --> 00:38:24,769
There wasn't anybody
really talking about God.

591
00:38:24,769 --> 00:38:29,807
I mean the rituals were there,
but not the real thing, It was
like something that has maybe
once been, but wasn't anymore.

592
00:38:29,807 --> 00:38:34,612
So the moment I questioned
they said "Jewish people
discovered God as one."

593
00:38:34,612 --> 00:38:36,514
I said "How do they
know God is one?

594
00:38:36,514 --> 00:38:37,848
Maybe he's 3, maybe who knows?"

595
00:38:37,848 --> 00:38:41,886
And that's how, but there was
nothing to back it up after
that point, that was it.

596
00:38:41,886 --> 00:38:43,154
So I became an atheist.

597
00:38:43,154 --> 00:38:48,225
And I was an atheist, but then
I'm thinking deeper about that,
I said you know what, I started
losing faith in atheism.

598
00:38:48,225 --> 00:38:55,499
I said atheism doesn't
work, there's got to be
something more, we have to
be here, how do we get here?

599
00:38:55,499 --> 00:38:56,267
There had to be some cause.

600
00:38:56,267 --> 00:38:59,136
So I started seeking,
and I started seeking
everything I could.

601
00:38:59,136 --> 00:39:08,112
I started reading books about
UFO's and Nostradamus and the
occult and science and religion
and everything I could get my

602
00:39:08,112 --> 00:39:11,082
hands on in seeking the truth.

603
00:39:11,082 --> 00:39:17,388
Everything, and one day I picked
up a book, I thought it was
a UFO book, it looked just like
a UFO book and it was

604
00:39:17,388 --> 00:39:19,223
The Late Great Planet Earth
by Hal Lindsey.

605
00:39:19,223 --> 00:39:24,261
Which is all about biblical
prophecy coming true.

606
00:39:24,261 --> 00:39:27,898
It said in there, is
this the generation that
Jesus and Moses spoke of?

607
00:39:27,898 --> 00:39:31,368
I said Moses I know,
Jesus, I've been reading
about him in all the UFO
books, he's in every book.

608
00:39:31,368 --> 00:39:32,737
Jesus is everywhere.

609
00:39:32,737 --> 00:39:33,537
He's in everything.

610
00:39:33,537 --> 00:39:35,106
Everything is Jesus.

611
00:39:35,106 --> 00:39:36,674
I said "Ok, I've been
reading about him.

612
00:39:36,674 --> 00:39:38,909
Lord, let me go
through the back door."

613
00:39:38,909 --> 00:39:41,579
He let me through the backdoor
to get back, to find him.

614
00:39:41,579 --> 00:39:44,548
So I was already opened because
of all those other books.

615
00:39:44,548 --> 00:39:47,485
But it was all about
prophecy, Israel coming
back in the world, all this.

616
00:39:47,485 --> 00:39:51,622
And I said "Wow, I didn't
realize the Bible said
Israel is going back.

617
00:39:51,622 --> 00:39:54,058
I didn't realize that everything
the Bible said is coming true."

618
00:39:54,058 --> 00:39:59,063
So I started saying "Wow,
this is fascinating, I'm
kind of getting into it."

619
00:39:59,063 --> 00:40:05,870
And you know meanwhile I
was also reading Nostradamus and
finally I said "No, that doesn't
work, there's only one thing

620
00:40:05,870 --> 00:40:08,372
that has the authority,
that speaks with authority.

621
00:40:08,372 --> 00:40:09,673
And that's the Bible there."

622
00:40:09,673 --> 00:40:12,543
And we didn't have a New
Testament, we had an Old
Testament in the house.

623
00:40:12,543 --> 00:40:18,215
Nobody read
it, I opened it up and I start
reading and I start reading
about the Messiah of Israel

624
00:40:18,215 --> 00:40:21,118
is going to die for our sins.

625
00:40:21,118 --> 00:40:24,321
I said "Wait, I thought that
was catholic, how did they
put that in there, our Bible?

626
00:40:24,321 --> 00:40:29,059
He's going to be born in
Bethlehem, that's also Catholic,
what's it doing in our Bible?"

627
00:40:29,059 --> 00:40:31,595
Everything, I said this
is the Jewish Messiah,
so I'm reading it.

628
00:40:31,595 --> 00:40:35,332
So I'm getting more and more in
my head, but I wasn't living it.

629
00:40:35,332 --> 00:40:37,201
I didn't want to live it.

630
00:40:37,201 --> 00:40:40,771
I had a rock band, I
did what teenagers do.

631
00:40:40,771 --> 00:40:43,641
I said "I don't want to
give up anything for this."

632
00:40:43,641 --> 00:40:48,512
I'm actually telling my
friends all about it and
I'm leading them to the
Lord, but I'm not saved.

633
00:40:48,512 --> 00:40:50,447
But I'm leading
them to the Lord.

634
00:40:50,447 --> 00:40:54,919
And so one day, I remember
being in high school in speech
class, we had to give a speech.

635
00:40:54,919 --> 00:40:57,788
I preached the whole class.

636
00:40:57,788 --> 00:41:00,391
And I'm not a believer,
but I'm preaching about
the coming of the Lord.

637
00:41:00,391 --> 00:41:07,598
So I do that, but finally
I realize that "Way,
if he comes again, you're
not right with God.

638
00:41:07,598 --> 00:41:08,666
What are you going to do?

639
00:41:08,666 --> 00:41:10,801
You've got to get right, you
can't just talk about him."

640
00:41:10,801 --> 00:41:15,439
And I never had an issue
about it being Jewish, that
was, it's obviously Jewish.

641
00:41:15,439 --> 00:41:16,874
I've never felt more
Jewish in my life.

642
00:41:16,874 --> 00:41:18,108
Obviously this is Jewish.

643
00:41:18,108 --> 00:41:20,311
It's for everybody, but I
didn't have a problem with that.

644
00:41:20,311 --> 00:41:29,486
But the problem was I didn't
want to live it, so I made a
deal with God and I said "Lord,
give me a long life and I'll

645
00:41:29,486 --> 00:41:32,656
accept you when I'm on my
deathbed and about to die."

646
00:41:32,656 --> 00:41:35,025
That was my deal.

647
00:41:35,025 --> 00:41:38,662
And so right after that
I was almost killed.

648
00:41:38,662 --> 00:41:42,333
I was in a car accident with
somebody, one of my friends
who came to the Lord.

649
00:41:42,333 --> 00:41:44,869
It was a miracle
we weren't killed.

650
00:41:44,869 --> 00:41:51,242
And then I said okay, didn't
think much, but then soon after
that came the second shaking.

651
00:41:51,242 --> 00:41:59,116
And that was, it was at night,
I was heading to a train track
and it was that train track,
when everything changed my life.

652
00:41:59,116 --> 00:42:02,753
I believe we have a clip
that's actually filmed, I
think at that train track.

653
00:42:02,753 --> 00:42:04,889
I think, if they have that.

654
00:42:04,889 --> 00:42:05,823
[Pastor Jim] Okay,
lets roll that.

655
00:42:05,823 --> 00:42:08,692
[Rabbi Cahn] I'm heading
to a train track at night.

656
00:42:08,692 --> 00:42:16,000
And the train track had no
protection on it, and it was a
bumpy road, it was just 2 rails
coming on an angle, people had

657
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,535
been hit on that
track by trains.

658
00:42:18,535 --> 00:42:19,837
And I heard they were killed.

659
00:42:19,837 --> 00:42:30,714
So I'm approaching the track at
night and the light is going on,
I'm thinking "Maybe the train
passed, maybe it's broken."

660
00:42:30,714 --> 00:42:32,416
Because all the other
cars were still crossing.

661
00:42:32,416 --> 00:42:37,788
So I said "Well I'm not going
to cross the track until I make
sure there's no train coming.

662
00:42:37,788 --> 00:42:45,029
So I'm kind of getting closer
to the track and I look
and I see to my left a light.

663
00:42:45,029 --> 00:42:50,267
And the light isn't moving, or
doesn't look like it was moving.

664
00:42:50,267 --> 00:42:55,472
The light was the headlights
of the train, it didn't
look like it was moving
beach I was on the track.

665
00:42:55,472 --> 00:42:57,708
It was coming directly at me.

666
00:42:57,708 --> 00:42:59,743
I'm on there, but I
didn't realize it.

667
00:42:59,743 --> 00:43:00,778
The train comes and plows
into the Ford Pinto.

668
00:43:00,778 --> 00:43:02,746
The Pinto goes up literally
like aluminum foil.

669
00:43:02,746 --> 00:43:07,251
And the only thing I could do at
that moment was call out to God.

670
00:43:07,251 --> 00:43:08,786
The car was destroyed.

671
00:43:08,786 --> 00:43:12,923
I didn't get a scratch.

672
00:43:12,923 --> 00:43:14,558
[Lori] A miracle.

673
00:43:14,558 --> 00:43:20,698
[Rabbi Cahn] I called out
to God, so I said at that moment
I realized it was like within
inches I would have been killed.

674
00:43:20,698 --> 00:43:22,499
I mean I should have
been killed anyways.

675
00:43:22,499 --> 00:43:28,739
So I said "Lord,
can we renegotiate?

676
00:43:28,739 --> 00:43:31,475
A new deal, here's a new deal.

677
00:43:31,475 --> 00:43:37,147
I'll accept you now, I'll
accept you when I turn 20.

678
00:43:37,147 --> 00:43:38,882
Just give me that time."

679
00:43:38,882 --> 00:43:42,553
The only reason I accepted
him is because I believed
if I didn't I was going to
get killed by something.

680
00:43:42,553 --> 00:43:44,888
I was a marked man, I was going
to be killed by something.

681
00:43:44,888 --> 00:43:46,957
A meteor, something
was going to happen.

682
00:43:46,957 --> 00:43:48,759
That's the only reason.

683
00:43:48,759 --> 00:43:51,729
And that's what it took
with me, it says Jews
demand signs, you know.

684
00:43:51,729 --> 00:43:52,863
Well I needed a train.

685
00:43:52,863 --> 00:43:54,198
And that's how it happened.

686
00:43:54,198 --> 00:43:55,766
But that's what did it.

687
00:43:55,766 --> 00:43:58,068
So I made that deal with
God, I finally said OK.

688
00:43:58,068 --> 00:44:02,873
"When I turn 20, just
give me this time.

689
00:44:02,873 --> 00:44:04,308
Don't kill me."

690
00:44:04,308 --> 00:44:06,076
I had like 8 months.

691
00:44:06,076 --> 00:44:11,015
So the day finally came and I
remember it, it was like a man
who's contract had run out.

692
00:44:11,015 --> 00:44:13,484
And I said "Ok, I better,
I gave you my word."

693
00:44:13,484 --> 00:44:16,587
So I didn't know how
to get saved, I didn't
know what it was.

694
00:44:16,587 --> 00:44:22,393
But I went up, and actually
I was listening to Christian
television at that time.

695
00:44:22,393 --> 00:44:25,529
But I still didn't
know what to do.

696
00:44:25,529 --> 00:44:27,564
But I remember from Hebrew
school God met the prophets
and his people on mountains.

697
00:44:27,564 --> 00:44:29,833
So I said let me
find a mountain.

698
00:44:29,833 --> 00:44:34,038
So I went up at night, I
found this mountain, went up
to the top of the mountain,
kneeled down on a rock.

699
00:44:34,038 --> 00:44:36,807
Didn't know what I was
doing, how to do it.

700
00:44:36,807 --> 00:44:39,143
But on that rock I gave
my life to the Lord.

701
00:44:39,143 --> 00:44:40,944
That's how I came to the Lord.

702
00:44:40,944 --> 00:44:45,883
Because of the train, because
I was almost killed, that's
how I did it on that rock.

703
00:44:45,883 --> 00:44:54,124
And years later, I think
I mentioned this, years later I
returned to the mountain to find
that mountain, to find the rock.

704
00:44:54,124 --> 00:44:55,125
And it was night time.

705
00:44:55,125 --> 00:45:00,798
And I brought tallit's, I
brought a shofar, I brought
my Bible and a flashlight.

706
00:45:00,798 --> 00:45:07,037
aNd I found the rock, kneeled
down, had a great time with the
Lord, and I opened up the Bible
and it opened up to Ezekiel

707
00:45:07,037 --> 00:45:13,110
where it says "The enemy says
'I have your mountain.'" I said
wow, I'm on a mountain, the
enemy says that,

708
00:45:13,110 --> 00:45:14,111
that's very weird.

709
00:45:14,111 --> 00:45:19,249
The next day, I'm in Beth
Israel, I'm at the congregation
and someone is waiting
in line to give me a gift.

710
00:45:19,249 --> 00:45:24,221
And the last person on the line
says "We have a gift for you, we
bought it, and here, take it."

711
00:45:24,221 --> 00:45:31,895
And it's a picture, it's a
drawing they bought, a picture
of a man on a mountain wearing
a tallit, with a shofar.

712
00:45:31,895 --> 00:45:33,831
I said that's weird,
that was me last night.

713
00:45:33,831 --> 00:45:35,199
And they said "Really?

714
00:45:35,199 --> 00:45:36,133
What mountain?"

715
00:45:36,133 --> 00:45:36,967
I said you don't
know the mountain.

716
00:45:36,967 --> 00:45:38,268
"What mountain?"

717
00:45:38,268 --> 00:45:43,307
Well I described the
mountain, the woman says "I
know the mountain, I live at
the bottom of the mountain."

718
00:45:43,307 --> 00:45:44,041
I said really?

719
00:45:44,041 --> 00:45:45,442
She said "Do you know
what that mountain is?"

720
00:45:45,442 --> 00:45:45,976
I said no.

721
00:45:45,976 --> 00:45:48,579
"That mountain is
dedicated to Satan."

722
00:45:48,579 --> 00:45:50,614
I said "Really?

723
00:45:50,614 --> 00:45:52,082
I got saved on top of it."

724
00:45:52,082 --> 00:45:53,517
She said "Well that's
where the witches meet."

725
00:45:53,517 --> 00:45:54,518
I said "Really?

726
00:45:54,518 --> 00:45:56,220
Well I kneeled down on a rock."

727
00:45:56,220 --> 00:46:00,190
She said "Well
that's the altar."

728
00:46:00,190 --> 00:46:08,732
I had no idea except I remember
once before I looked down
and there was writing on the
mountain and it said

729
00:46:08,732 --> 00:46:12,836
"No Jew shall enter the sacred grounds."

730
00:46:12,836 --> 00:46:16,406
And I said "Who on earth would
write something like that?

731
00:46:16,406 --> 00:46:17,774
Who on earth would write it?"

732
00:46:17,774 --> 00:46:19,977
And I thought, are they Nazis?

733
00:46:19,977 --> 00:46:23,580
Devil worshipers,
Satan would write it.

734
00:46:23,580 --> 00:46:28,585
Satan would write it because
that was the mountain of my
salvation and for 2000 years
it's like the enemy has been

735
00:46:28,585 --> 00:46:33,757
saying to the Jewish people
"You cannot enter in, you cannot
come back to your Messiah."

736
00:46:33,757 --> 00:46:35,092
I said "Too late Satan, I'm in.

737
00:46:35,092 --> 00:46:36,727
I'm in already."

738
00:46:36,727 --> 00:46:40,864
[Lori] I love that story.

739
00:46:40,864 --> 00:46:44,268
That's the story of your life.

740
00:46:44,268 --> 00:46:49,706
[Pastor Jim] That's amazing,
you know it seems like the Bible
is so filled with mountains.

741
00:46:49,706 --> 00:46:56,280
And I've been literally
obsessed with building
a prayer mountain here.

742
00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:01,919
You know Oral Roberts told
me when God called him to do
something, he would dig a hole.

743
00:47:01,919 --> 00:47:07,157
Well God's called me, I
finally own the mountain,
I mean the church does.

744
00:47:07,157 --> 00:47:11,261
We own the land, we
have the whole valley
and the mountain tops.

745
00:47:11,261 --> 00:47:17,000
We own about 2 miles of
what I call mountain ranges
on both sides of the road.

746
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,837
God graciously has given to
us in the last few months.

747
00:47:20,837 --> 00:47:29,846
And so I sent the tractors,
the big earth movers up the
mountain to build a road.

748
00:47:29,846 --> 00:47:39,189
Because you couldn't
get up there.

749
00:47:39,189 --> 00:47:40,791
It was way up, I
couldn't get up there.

750
00:47:40,791 --> 00:47:41,325
And so several days I
walked, climbed the mountain.

751
00:47:41,325 --> 00:47:42,993
This week we have
installed generators
all over the ministry.

752
00:47:42,993 --> 00:47:44,895
We haven't even begun.

753
00:47:44,895 --> 00:47:50,133
The next step we're putting
solar power in behind them.

754
00:47:50,133 --> 00:47:58,208
And so that in these days,
no matter what happens, if
that grid goes down like this
book, Ted Koppel's book here.

755
00:47:58,208 --> 00:48:04,081
Here's the man that did the
number one interview of me
when my world came apart.

756
00:48:04,081 --> 00:48:12,689
Of all the people on God's
earth to pick to write this book
about what I'm preaching,

757
00:48:12,689 --> 00:48:15,826
a lot of preachers
are making fun of preparing.

758
00:48:15,826 --> 00:48:21,665
But here's Ted Koppel,
writes the book, the
lights are going out, the
grid is going to go down.

759
00:48:21,665 --> 00:48:24,434
It's just a matter of
time, we don't know when.

760
00:48:24,434 --> 00:48:35,445
But he said he personally has
bought food for his children
and his grandchildren.

761
00:48:35,445 --> 00:48:40,684
He said "I studied this
and I've prepared."

762
00:48:40,684 --> 00:48:43,854
So what's going on?

763
00:48:43,854 --> 00:48:51,295
You know God has spoken to
me to build a city of refuge.

764
00:48:51,295 --> 00:48:54,131
You what else he spoke to me?

765
00:48:54,131 --> 00:48:57,934
Years ago, you won't like
this, but I don't care anymore.

766
00:48:57,934 --> 00:49:05,075
He said every church needs
to become a city of refuge.

767
00:49:05,075 --> 00:49:11,348
Every church needs to be
a lighthouse, every church
needs to be a place to run
to in the time of trouble.

768
00:49:11,348 --> 00:49:14,918
Every church needs to
be ready to win souls.

769
00:49:14,918 --> 00:49:21,258
Every church needs to have
the things people need.

770
00:49:21,258 --> 00:49:29,066
Because what these people are
saying, that he's interviewed.

771
00:49:29,066 --> 00:49:32,469
Saws it on the film
or on the video.

772
00:49:32,469 --> 00:49:37,174
The soldiers are not
going to be there.

773
00:49:37,174 --> 00:49:40,010
The rescue squad's
not going to be there.

774
00:49:40,010 --> 00:49:42,346
Where are they going to go?

775
00:49:42,346 --> 00:49:46,817
They're going to be home,
trying to save their own family.

776
00:49:46,817 --> 00:49:55,058
The Bible says the wise
see trouble, but fools see
trouble and don't do anything.

777
00:49:55,058 --> 00:49:56,893
But the wise prepare.

778
00:49:56,893 --> 00:50:01,164
Don't make fun of preppers.

779
00:50:01,164 --> 00:50:06,136
Don't make fun of people
that prepare, because
you're going to be knocking
sheepishly at their door.

780
00:50:06,136 --> 00:50:10,941
If they're kind, they're going
to maybe give you a morsel.

781
00:50:10,941 --> 00:50:25,021
But he says it, I think just
about everybody who writes says
95% of America will die within
6 months if these things happen.

782
00:50:25,021 --> 00:50:33,630
And so here at Morningside
this week, we placed the
generators at the well, so
that we can have a backup.

783
00:50:33,630 --> 00:50:35,565
So the well won't go down.

784
00:50:35,565 --> 00:50:41,371
We put them at the sewer
so the sewer system will
keep treating sewage.

785
00:50:41,371 --> 00:50:44,941
We put them at Lori's House,
we put them at the Tabernacle.

786
00:50:44,941 --> 00:50:46,877
We're putting these generators.

787
00:50:46,877 --> 00:50:51,815
There they are, there's
a load of them coming in
right there on the screen.

788
00:50:51,815 --> 00:50:56,453
But faith without works is dead.

789
00:50:56,453 --> 00:51:05,362
And we've been taught a doctrine
of just give it to God and
walk off and sit on yourself.

790
00:51:05,362 --> 00:51:09,199
Sit on your seat and do nothing.

791
00:51:09,199 --> 00:51:15,205
Yet the Bible says faith
without works is dead.

792
00:51:15,205 --> 00:51:20,210
Noah built an ark to the
saving of his household.

793
00:51:20,210 --> 00:51:26,817
How come God said as it was
in the days of Noah, so shall
it be when Jesus comes back?

794
00:51:26,817 --> 00:51:33,089
And so everyone between now and
Christmas, you can order enough
stuff that you give $1000

795
00:51:33,089 --> 00:51:35,559
we want to
put your name as a sponsor.

796
00:51:35,559 --> 00:51:40,931
We're asking people to give, but
you can make Christmas count.

797
00:51:40,931 --> 00:51:46,670
You can help build the
chapel, but then you could
give all these things.

798
00:51:46,670 --> 00:51:51,641
I mean this is way,
way below retail.

799
00:51:51,641 --> 00:51:53,477
This is below wholesale.

800
00:51:53,477 --> 00:51:59,583
You can't get this, the
Rabbi package, you cannot
get this wholesale.

801
00:51:59,583 --> 00:52:01,718
This is below wholesale.

802
00:52:01,718 --> 00:52:06,890
The Israel Mystery set is in
there with Rabbi teaching.

803
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:13,930
And then the New Mysteries,
the 14th section of mysteries.

804
00:52:13,930 --> 00:52:19,669
And then the movie, you've
been showing little bits and
clips of, the Harbinger Man,
the whole movie is there.

805
00:52:19,669 --> 00:52:22,506
[Lori] Harbinger Decoded DVD.

806
00:52:22,506 --> 00:52:25,575
[Pastor Jim] Which
is a great, great.

807
00:52:25,575 --> 00:52:28,512
[Lori] You also receive
The Harbinger book and the
Mystery of the Shemitah book.

808
00:52:28,512 --> 00:52:32,949
[Pastor Jim] And if you've got
friends that have not read that,
this should be their gifts too.

809
00:52:32,949 --> 00:52:41,258
And then a bonus on top of a
bonus, the Secrets and Keys for
Success in God and Your Calling.

810
00:52:41,258 --> 00:52:43,927
You gave us a little
bit of that on the show.

811
00:52:43,927 --> 00:52:45,695
[Zach] And you're also
going to receive the Tallit.

812
00:52:45,695 --> 00:52:50,600
[Pastor Jim] And
the kitchen sink.

813
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,236
[Lori] This is incredible.

814
00:52:53,236 --> 00:52:57,040
[Rabbi Cahn] And if they don't
have enough relatives to give
this to for Christmas, they've
got to get more relatives so

815
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,209
they can give them.

816
00:52:59,209 --> 00:53:06,182
[Pastor Jim] But I'll tell
you, you know what, when the
power goes out, if you have our
generator,

817
00:53:06,182 --> 00:53:07,651
you'll be playing these videos.

818
00:53:07,651 --> 00:53:09,786
Because you're going to be
studying, you're going to want
to know what is happening.

819
00:53:09,786 --> 00:53:15,559
I think I better listen a little
more to the Rabbi's teaching
and find out what in the
world just happened to America.

820
00:53:15,559 --> 00:53:17,694
Because it's going
to happen people.

821
00:53:17,694 --> 00:53:23,767
We're going to see a
division in this country
if we're not careful.

822
00:53:23,767 --> 00:53:28,204
Because we do have, and I
can't say black and white.

823
00:53:28,204 --> 00:53:34,044
We have both sides of extremes.

824
00:53:34,044 --> 00:53:35,512
It's almost like a
God and the devil.

825
00:53:35,512 --> 00:53:39,816
I mean we've got
light and darkness.

826
00:53:39,816 --> 00:53:53,530
I'm concerned because
there has been more guns
sold in the United States
in the last 6, what, weeks?

827
00:53:53,530 --> 00:53:54,831
6 months?

828
00:53:54,831 --> 00:53:58,668
Last 6 months, and
it keeps increasing.

829
00:53:58,668 --> 00:54:03,340
Why would Americans be
buying so many guns?

830
00:54:03,340 --> 00:54:18,388
There are so many things going
on that if we listen and all
the videos and all the tapes
the Rabbi does, and all the

831
00:54:18,388 --> 00:54:21,157
mysteries and all the teaching.

832
00:54:21,157 --> 00:54:29,165
If you studied the Bible,
this week I'm studying
Revelation all by myself.

833
00:54:29,165 --> 00:54:31,635
Nobody wants to hear
me, so I teach myself.

834
00:54:31,635 --> 00:54:35,005
I found a good listener.

835
00:54:35,005 --> 00:54:43,780
But as I study it, it just
reassures my belief and my faith
in Jesus Christ, in his Word.

836
00:54:43,780 --> 00:54:46,249
It just makes me
stronger and stronger.

837
00:54:46,249 --> 00:54:51,454
And so I can come out
here and say "You want
to blast me, blast me.

838
00:54:51,454 --> 00:54:53,123
I'm not going to be moved.

839
00:54:53,123 --> 00:54:54,958
I believe in the Word of God."

840
00:54:54,958 --> 00:55:00,864
[Zach] We will be right back
after this special message.

841
00:55:00,864 --> 00:55:06,536
There is no doubt that
tragic events in our world
today are on the rise.

842
00:55:06,536 --> 00:55:11,408
Nuclear threats, genocide,
weather catastrophes,
earth shaking events.

843
00:55:11,408 --> 00:55:18,348
During these end times
events, we must be directly
in the will of God by heeding
his Word and being prepared.

844
00:55:18,348 --> 00:55:24,621
Harnessing power to protect
you and your family is one of
the most important things that
you can do to be prepared.

845
00:55:24,621 --> 00:55:32,929
Our fuelless generator is safe,
with no emissions, quiet with
only small fans to cool it.

846
00:55:32,929 --> 00:55:36,533
Renewable, powered
and replenished by
natural resources.

847
00:55:36,533 --> 00:55:39,936
Portable, weighing only 34lbs.

848
00:55:39,936 --> 00:55:44,174
And affordable, with no other
generator in the world like it.

849
00:55:44,174 --> 00:55:51,848
For a donation of $2500 or
more to our ministry today,
you will receive the amazing
fuelless generator bundle.

850
00:55:51,848 --> 00:55:59,689
Included is this foldable solar
panel that employs the energy
of the sun to power your fulless
generator, along with a 20ft

851
00:55:59,689 --> 00:56:00,790
extension cord.

852
00:56:00,790 --> 00:56:05,295
At night use the included
hand crank charger
to fuel your generator.

853
00:56:05,295 --> 00:56:08,198
Or plug it into a wall
receptacle to charge it.

854
00:56:08,198 --> 00:56:14,871
Order today and you
will also receive 2 12
volt fleece blankets to
use with your generator.

855
00:56:14,871 --> 00:56:19,109
[Pastor Jim] First of all
you get some bonus food.

856
00:56:19,109 --> 00:56:26,516
[Zach] Yes, and actually,
it's a 72 hour kit, and the
food that's within that 72
hour kit is truly premium.

857
00:56:26,516 --> 00:56:31,187
And it's also going to be
thrown in a cooking kit as well.

858
00:56:31,187 --> 00:56:34,758
[Pastor Jim] this is so
that you can cook your food,
and it's a little grill.

859
00:56:34,758 --> 00:56:38,962
And then the cooking pot,
and so you can cook that
over the fire right there.

860
00:56:38,962 --> 00:56:42,198
And that could be a great extra
Christmas gift for somebody.

861
00:56:42,198 --> 00:56:45,602
For anyone who orders the
generator, they're going
to get that as a bonus.

862
00:56:45,602 --> 00:57:00,650
There is a wide range of
appliances that can be powered
by the fuel less generator.

863
00:57:00,650 --> 00:57:08,324
Just make sure you check the
details on each appliance, as
long as its peak running output
is below 2000watts, the fuelless

864
00:57:08,324 --> 00:57:09,993
generator will power it.

865
00:57:09,993 --> 00:57:15,632
Call today, 1-888-988-1588.

prayers and support that
helps keep us broadcasting
around the world.

868
00:57:24,707 --> 00:57:31,114
[Pastor Jim] Wow, come on, let's
keep climbing everybody, amen!

869
00:57:31,114 --> 00:57:35,752
And I want to thank everybody
that's helping us to
build the chapel this month.

870
00:57:35,752 --> 00:57:38,822
Thank you so much for your gift.

871
00:57:38,822 --> 00:57:47,130
And I want to thank all of
those who just sent $1000 to
build the chapel and didn't
even ask for any gifts.

872
00:57:47,130 --> 00:57:50,967
They just said "We're going to
be a sponsor and we're going to
get that chapel up quick, ok?"

873
00:57:50,967 --> 00:57:56,906
Thank you so much, and
don't forget to order all the
specials from the Rabbi today.

00:58:15,925 --> 00:58:17,193
Bye, bye for today.

881
00:58:17,193 --> 00:58:19,062
[Lori] Bye, bye, we love you!

882
00:58:19,062 --> 00:58:20,063
Thank you Rabbi!
