Transcript [00:00] Hello, insiders. [00:03] I'm going to take you on an amazing [00:05] journey. [00:06] Um [00:07] I'm going to show you I I just took my [00:09] kids [00:11] uh to [00:12] Europe [00:13] and then I took them to the Middle East. [00:15] And I wanted them to see things um so [00:19] they could see it for themselves. I [00:22] wanted them to meet people so they could [00:24] make a judgment for themselves. They're [00:27] college age and they are getting all of [00:28] the same crap your kids are are getting. [00:32] And I will tell you [00:34] um [00:36] it was successful, but it was personal. [00:39] Um because there is a something that [00:40] happens to you, especially if you're in [00:42] Jerusalem. There's something that [00:44] happens to you if you are a Christian. [00:46] It's it stirs your soul. I think it same [00:49] thing happens if you're Jewish. It is It [00:52] is the birthplace of the religion of [00:55] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. [00:58] Um and so I want to I have some pictures [01:00] and let me know when the control room is [01:01] ready with the photos. [01:03] But I want to kind of This is like [01:06] Hopefully, this is not the world's worst [01:08] slideshow. Like, come on over. I want to [01:10] show you the slides of my vacation. Um [01:12] I'm and I've put them all in order for a [01:15] certain reason because this was a [01:17] learning trip. My wife has a problem [01:19] with me on vacations cuz she's like, [01:21] "Can we just go lay on a beach [01:23] someplace?" And I'm like, "No, I [01:26] hate that. You guys go lay on a beach [01:28] while I'm working. I can't take that." I [01:31] want to go learn something. And so our [01:33] vacations are always learning. And there [01:36] was probably uh maybe 20% of what we did [01:40] on vacation, I was told I cannot share [01:43] with anyone [01:44] um because it was sensitive or because [01:46] people don't are not allowed to see [01:49] these things for whatever reason. Um I'm [01:53] going to bring something to you at the [01:55] end that [02:00] I believe God is working on [02:04] things right now. [02:06] And we I feel that we are getting close [02:11] to [02:13] the time that he is returns. [02:16] And [02:17] if that's going to happen, certain [02:19] things have to happen that you already [02:21] know about because you've read your [02:23] scriptures. [02:24] But there's some other things that you [02:26] may not have thought of that if that [02:28] does happen, then [02:30] some other things have to be found that [02:33] have been lost. [02:38] I want to show you [02:40] something that no one gets to see. And I [02:44] asked for permission and I have to word [02:46] it very carefully [02:48] because it is a [02:50] a lightning rod. And [02:53] so I want to be very careful on how it [02:55] is worded so everyone can go away happy. [03:01] Um [03:03] I'm also going to show you something [03:04] that I saw up at the Temple Mount. Um [03:08] The Temple Mount is a [03:10] is an amazing place. It is where [03:13] Abraham supposedly was supposed to go up [03:16] and [03:18] and sacrifice his son. [03:22] It's Mount Moriah. [03:24] And many, many years ago after Solomon's [03:27] Temple was destroyed, they went back in [03:28] and they leveled it. [03:30] And they built on the top of this [03:32] mountain [03:34] the temple. [03:35] And the [03:38] temple was then destroyed in 70. [03:40] And the [03:42] Muslims took it over eventually and the [03:45] Muslims built the Dome of the Rock and [03:47] the Al-Aqsa [03:49] mosque. [03:54] And the things and I will show you, the [03:55] things that I saw there were disturbing. [03:59] Uh, the feeling that I can only express [04:01] to you, disturbing. [04:03] And I want to get into that. All right, [04:05] if you're ready in the control room, I [04:06] want to start with one of the reasons [04:08] why I went is my kids did not understand [04:11] October 7th. [04:12] They didn't understand what was going [04:14] on. Who's who's the good guy? Who's the [04:16] bad guy? What happened? And I am [04:20] fortunate enough to be able to take my [04:22] children to [04:24] the Gaza border and say, "Let me walk [04:27] you through it. Here is exactly where [04:29] they came from. Here are the the [04:32] farmlands, the kibbutz that they went in [04:35] and slaughtered people, and let me [04:37] introduce you to some of the people that [04:38] survived that, and let me tell you their [04:40] story." [04:41] So, the first picture here is a picture [04:44] of my son and I, [04:46] and you'll see there is a right in front [04:49] of us there is a street down, uh, you [04:52] know, [04:53] right about where my waist is, if you're [04:54] looking at that picture. [04:56] And then you'll see another kind of [04:57] light strip, and you can barely make it [05:00] out, but that is a fence. [05:02] This is no man's zone. If you look from [05:06] there [05:07] all the way to the horizon, you will see [05:10] buildings kind of there. Kind of, I say, [05:13] cuz most of them are gone now. [05:15] That is Gaza. [05:17] These farms used to People would come in [05:20] and they like guest workers. They would [05:22] come and they would work, and um, I was [05:25] talking to one of the people that, um, [05:28] in one of the hardest hit, uh, [05:30] kibbutzes said, "W- At my wedding, some [05:34] of these people came over. They were at [05:35] my wedding. They're friends. We knew [05:37] them. We worked with them. [05:39] And on October 7th, they came over that [05:41] fence, and they slaughtered people. [05:44] The The I'm standing on is the kibbutz, [05:47] is the farmland. The next picture is a [05:50] guy I talked to and we went into his [05:52] house and it was so eerie [05:54] because people in the houses you will [05:56] see there behind him were killed. [06:01] The house that is right directly behind [06:04] me there [06:08] was such a horrific story. I don't even [06:09] want to tell you. [06:11] But one family member returned to that [06:13] house and is living there. These people [06:15] have returned to this land that was a [06:18] horror show beyond your [06:22] imagination. [06:24] This [snorts] man [06:25] >> [clears throat] [06:26] >> I can't remember the number. I think it [06:27] was 17. [06:29] This man killed 17 terrorists. He was a [06:32] former special forces, I believe, and he [06:35] was in his house and his daughter was in [06:38] their safe room. They found out later [06:40] that their safe room doors, this [06:41] happened all over, Israeli safe room [06:43] doors were not exactly bulletproof. [06:46] He had his guns in the safe room. His [06:49] daughter was on the bed and they kept he [06:51] kept killing these terrorists [06:54] over and over and over as they were [06:55] trying to kill [06:57] him and his daughter. [06:58] They [07:04] He survived because they finally pointed [07:06] a [07:08] bazooka at him and said, "Come out or [07:11] we're going to blow you up." And so he [07:12] came out and threw a gun down on the [07:14] floor with his hands up and [07:17] as he was walking towards them, he saw [07:20] the opportunity to grab another gun in [07:22] his belt and he shot them and it was [07:24] over. I asked him how his daughter was [07:27] doing [07:28] and he said [07:30] not well. [07:32] Not well. [07:34] Because one of them had climbed up when [07:36] he opened the door, one of them climbed [07:38] up onto the bed Um, was strangling her. [07:42] After he shot the guy with a bazooka, he [07:44] turned around and shot that man and he [07:46] died on top of his daughter. [07:48] Um, the next is the the music festival. [07:52] Uh, this is the temporary memorial that [07:54] they have made. [07:56] This is where um, [07:59] people had been [08:01] and people had died. And so they put [08:02] this memorial up and it's enormous of [08:04] all of these people that had died. I'm [08:07] standing on the stage in the next [08:08] picture with the father of the DJ. [08:11] Um, and his son got out. He was one of [08:14] the few survivors of that. Happened to [08:17] get out. The other DJ died. Uh, this is [08:20] an interesting picture because as we're [08:21] standing there and he's talking to us, [08:23] you'll notice he's he's got something [08:26] around his shoulder [08:27] and it's a it's an AR. [08:31] You see this now in Israel [08:34] everywhere. People are carry- carrying [08:37] ARs. To give you some scope, the next [08:39] two pictures, that's my daughter and my [08:41] wife going through [08:43] uh, the [08:45] um, the field behind that stage [08:49] um, looking again at all of them. We [08:51] must have spent a couple of [08:55] >> [clears throat] [08:55] >> Gosh, it's not all going to be like [08:56] this. I'm sorry. This is just really [08:57] hard part. [08:59] We spent probably a couple of hours [09:00] there um, [09:02] uh, reading about all the people who had [09:05] died. And they are people just like your [09:07] kids. And the amazing thing is most of [09:10] them were probably liberal. Most of them [09:12] were probably the ones that were [09:14] fighting for the Palestinians. [09:16] Then the next picture is the bunker uh, [09:19] where so many were killed. [09:22] And one of the things I wanted my kids [09:24] to understand is that Israel is not an [09:27] apartheid state. [09:29] It's not an apartheid state. And I was [09:31] corrected when I was driving to uh, the [09:34] Sea of Galilee [09:36] because I found evidence that it is an [09:38] apartheid state. [09:40] There are sections in Israel [09:42] that are marked A areas, B areas, and C [09:46] areas. [09:48] A areas are forbidden zones for Israeli [09:51] citizens. [09:53] You cannot if you're Jewish, you are not [09:56] allowed in. And these are like they're [09:58] like gated communities almost, except [10:00] the gates are really intense, but [10:02] they're gated communities. [10:04] There are no Jews allowed. So it's like [10:06] the worst bigoted [10:09] golf and country club community that you [10:12] could possibly imagine with guns and [10:14] with golfers that will cut your head off [10:16] if you go in. [10:18] So it is an apartheid state. [10:21] Uh and this is on the highways and [10:23] they're everywhere. [10:25] Turn here, you know, you better not be a [10:27] Jew. Only Arabs. These are the A areas. [10:30] Only Arabs are allowed into that section [10:34] and that's the same on the, you know, uh [10:37] the next sign that you see there. [10:39] Who do you rely on when things get [10:41] crazy? Who fixes that problem for you? [10:44] When the power goes out, the roads are [10:45] covered in ice or something you rely on [10:48] suddenly isn't available. That's when [10:49] you realize that the person you were [10:51] supposed to rely on was you. [10:54] My friends at Jace Medical are now [10:56] spending October helping people think [10:57] exactly through that. They're calling [11:00] uh they're calling this month Preptober. [11:03] 31 days of emergency preparedness [11:05] including winter storms, supply [11:06] shortages, power outages, and other [11:08] problems that come with the colder [11:10] months. And my number one recommendation [11:12] is the Jace Case. It gives you access to [11:14] emergency medications, vital [11:16] antibiotics. So if you can't get to a [11:18] doctor or pharmacy, you're not starting [11:20] from zero. They also have the Jace Daily [11:23] which will provide up to 12 months [11:25] supply of your everyday medications [11:26] because food, water, and power matter. [11:29] But if there's a medication you need [11:30] every single day, that belongs on the [11:32] preparedness list, doesn't it? Go to [11:34] Jace, j a s e.com. Use a promo code back [11:37] at checkout and get a discount on your [11:39] order. That's promo code back at [11:40] jace.com. [11:43] But [11:44] I didn't want to bring them just to [11:47] um [11:49] I needed to give that have them give a [11:50] real understanding of history. [11:54] And so we had gone through Europe and we [11:56] had gone through some of the best [11:57] museums uh in um in France and we saw so [12:01] much history and trying to give them [12:02] perspective on things and maybe someday [12:05] I'll give [12:06] um show you some of the stuff there if [12:08] it's if it's interesting to you if [12:10] anybody is going to watch this episode. [12:12] But [snorts] [12:13] um I'm in Israel and the guy who meets [12:16] me, this great guy, um one of the [12:19] leaders of the museum, he comes out and [12:21] he meets me and I I didn't know, I just [12:23] thought we were going to the museum. I [12:25] was surprised by some of the things that [12:27] happened because they heard that we were [12:29] coming because of security. And they [12:31] were like, "Oh." And so this guy meets [12:32] us up front and he's like, "I got the [12:34] key." And it's a skeleton key and I'm [12:36] like, [12:37] "Okay." I thought I thought he was going [12:38] to show us around the museum. [12:40] And he's like, "I got the key." And I'm [12:41] like, "Okay." And he's like, "Let's [12:43] start there." So I go downstairs [12:46] in this underground uh area and he walks [12:49] up to a vault. [12:52] And he puts the key in and then he [12:53] starts opening the doors and he allows [12:55] us to go in. He's like, "You want to see [12:57] the vault?" And I'm like, [12:59] "Yeah, I was expecting just to see the [13:01] stuff upstairs, but okay." So he takes [13:03] us into the vault. You can just scroll [13:05] here. So there I'm going into the vault [13:08] and then the next one is some of the [13:10] stuff that's in the vault. And it is [13:12] it's antiquities that are 4,000 years [13:15] old. It's remarkable and the stories and [13:18] the There was, you know, all all of this [13:21] stuff that they found that most people [13:22] don't get to see. [13:24] This is one of the things that we saw [13:26] that's remarkable. That is actually a [13:28] piece of bone [13:30] with a nail driven through the bone. [13:32] That is an ankle bone. [13:35] And the next picture I think shows just [13:36] a different [13:37] view of it. That's an ankle bone. It's [13:40] one of the only relics that they have [13:42] ever found on crucifixion and how it was [13:44] done. So, we always think of Christ's [13:47] feet like this and the going through [13:49] here. [13:50] Most likely, and just because of this, [13:52] most likely they think that they [13:54] actually put the legs on the sides of [13:56] the cross [13:57] and then they drove the spikes through [14:00] the ankle bones. Um [14:02] pretty brutal. [14:03] We saw something else that was amazing. [14:06] Um since 1965, [14:09] I was one. [14:11] 1965, the Dead Sea Scrolls, which are [14:14] the oldest versions of the Bible and the [14:17] only fully uh intact scroll of Isaiah. [14:23] Um they've been sitting in a vault in [14:25] the dark not to be seen by anybody [14:27] because they're so fragile since 1964. [14:31] They took them out of the vault and we [14:33] were allowed to see them. This is my [14:35] daughter here, um the last one, and this [14:38] is me with an expert on it. Uh and my [14:42] assistant standing next to me and my [14:43] wife is on the other side of me. [14:45] And he's explaining and reading the book [14:48] of Isaiah to us from [14:52] the original scroll. It's amazing. [14:55] Now, [14:57] not everybody is on the same page on [15:00] history. [15:02] And I found this fascinating. We go [15:05] upstairs and the guy who said I have the [15:07] key, he's going to pass us off to [15:08] somebody else. [15:10] And [snorts] uh so we go into this one [15:11] place and we see all of these clay [15:15] uh sarcophagus. [15:18] These are clearly Egyptian. [15:21] And they're all made out of they're clay [15:23] pots for people. [15:25] I had never even seen these. These are I [15:27] think 4,000 years old. [15:30] And they were found in Gaza when the uh [15:34] the [15:35] the Jews had Gaza, they had done [15:38] archaeology [15:39] uh and they had found all of these. So, [15:41] these are Egyptian. [15:43] And I said, "Wait a minute, how did the [15:44] Egyptians get in?" Cuz that's about I [15:46] mean, when was Moses? And we start [15:48] talking and he's like So funny. He was [15:50] like [15:51] Uh yeah, there's no Moses. And I'm like [15:54] Wait. [15:55] What? And he's like, "No, there's [15:56] there's no Moses. I I don't [15:58] There's no There's no evidence Moses [16:00] ever existed." I said, "Wait, wait, [16:02] wait. You have the Isaiah Scroll. You [16:04] have all of these other things that you [16:06] verified. You you The City of David's [16:09] right over here. We know where the [16:10] temple was. [16:12] You know, what was in that golden box [16:14] with the angels? The Ten Command- The [16:16] whole thing falls apart without Moses." [16:19] >> [snorts] [16:20] >> And he's like, "Yeah, but I'm an [16:21] archaeologist. I believe in science and [16:23] I don't believe in magic. Uh so, I [16:26] believe in all that other stuff, but I [16:27] don't think there was any Moses." And I [16:30] So, he passed us off to somebody else [16:31] and I said [16:32] "Can I ask you a question before we [16:33] start?" He said, "Yes." And I said [16:35] "Do you believe in Mo- Do you believe in [16:37] Moses?" And he turns around he's like, [16:40] "Yeah, of course I do." And I said "You [16:42] know, the other guy doesn't." He's like, [16:43] "Oh, he's [16:45] He's a scientist and will not let it go. [16:47] He'll believe in Moses the minute we [16:49] find something that proves Moses." He's [16:52] like, "He just will not take anything on [16:54] faith." [16:56] We also were allowed um to go into [16:59] what's called Yad Vashem, which is an [17:01] amazing Holocaust um [17:04] memorial uh and museum. [17:07] And we went through and I was um [17:09] they they didn't they just knew somebody [17:11] was coming with security until I arrived [17:13] and then they saw me and they were like [17:15] "Oh, Mr. Beck, how are you? And so they [17:19] hastily arranged some stuff that we [17:21] didn't ask for. It was It was an honor [17:23] that they would help us on stuff and let [17:25] us see stuff. [17:26] But they [snorts] said about halfway [17:28] through our, you know, museum tour where [17:31] that everybody gets [17:32] one of the guys came up to us and said, [17:34] "Would you like to go into the [17:35] underground vault and see what we have [17:38] in the vaults?" And I said, "Are you [17:40] kidding me? Yes." [17:42] And he said, "Okay, when you're done, [17:44] I'll come get you and we'll go down to [17:46] the to the vaults." So this is I think [17:48] three or four, maybe four stories below [17:50] ground. [17:52] Um this is the underground vault of Yad [17:54] Vashem. [17:56] Um behind that glass, the oxygen level [17:59] in that room was only 15%. [18:03] You don't live long with 15% oxygen. You [18:07] get a headache within 10 minutes and you [18:09] start to have real problems, you know, [18:11] in 15 and 20 minutes. [18:13] Um you don't want to be in that room [18:14] very long, but it's it's such low oxygen [18:17] level because they want to preserve [18:18] everything, which is the exact opposite. [18:21] You know, I was talking to people in [18:24] museums in in France that have [18:28] no humidity control, [18:30] no oxygen control, no real heat control. [18:34] It was hot as you're inside and I'm [18:36] looking at these masterpieces and I said [18:38] to the guy, [18:40] I mean, [18:42] there's no control on humidity or [18:43] anything. He's like, "No, but we don't [18:45] usually have this." And I'm like, [18:47] "Yeah, but you do have it now." [18:49] Um you know, most museums now are very, [18:51] very dark and they don't have direct [18:53] light on things because we have found [18:55] that direct light hurts them. And I I [18:57] think, you know, if we ever get into a [18:59] war with France, we need to take all of [19:01] their stuff because uh they're they're [19:03] just not taking care of it, in my [19:04] opinion. It's just not being taken care [19:06] of the way I would take care of it, but [19:08] what do I know? I'm a a [19:10] Um anyway, so we're down in the [19:12] Holocaust Museum and let me show you [19:14] what they have in the vault. The next [19:15] one I think is just the doors going into [19:17] that vault. [19:18] >> [snorts] [19:18] >> Um, here's some of the stuff we saw. [19:21] On the easel there [19:24] is the original [19:28] is the original blueprint for Auschwitz. [19:32] Didn't happen really cuz there's a [19:33] blueprint. Um, sitting right in front of [19:36] that, you'll see this [19:38] this uh document right in front of that. [19:41] Um, and it's on that second shelf there. [19:44] That's the original Schindler's List. In [19:46] our museum, I have the music I have the [19:49] movie version of Schindler's List. [19:52] That's the real one. [19:54] Uh, also on the next one you will see, I [19:57] believe that's a Schutzpass, which I'm [19:59] not going to explain, but it's it's an [20:00] amazing document. And up above that, [20:02] um, we have Schutzpasses and they are [20:04] incredible and inspiring, but up above [20:07] that [20:08] uh, is the original document. I believe [20:11] it was signed by Himmler. That's the [20:13] original Final Solution document. [20:17] So, we saw all kinds of stuff, but I [20:19] brought my kids to see uh history and to [20:23] give perspective on this is a [20:25] never-ending story. [20:27] Um, and then I wanted my kids to be [20:29] strengthened on Christ as well and on [20:32] the story of the battle for God, the God [20:37] of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So, we [20:39] went to the Temple Mount, which is the [20:40] next photo. [20:42] First, let me tell you about real estate [20:43] agents I trust. Let me tell you a little [20:45] secret about real estate. The housing [20:46] market doesn't care how you feel. It [20:49] doesn't care that you think your house [20:51] is worth a certain number because you [20:53] love the kitchen. It doesn't care that [20:54] you saw the house three streets over [20:56] selling for something crazy last spring. [20:58] And it definitely doesn't care that you [21:00] need a certain price to make your next [21:02] move work. [21:03] The market responds to timing. It [21:05] responds to inventory, interest rates, [21:08] local demand, which is why you need [21:10] somebody who actually understands these [21:12] things to help you.

[21:43] This is my son and I. Um, we are [21:45] standing at the top of the Mount of [21:47] Olives. Right in front of us, those are [21:49] all [21:50] uh, that's a cemetery. Those are all [21:51] crypts. [21:53] Where we're standing, somewhere in that [21:55] area, is where Christ is going to split [21:57] the mountains when he returns. And the [21:59] dead will rise right there. [22:02] Um, and he will go to the Temple Mount, [22:05] which is, you'll see, [22:07] it kind of goes into a bowl and then [22:09] there's a very straight line going [22:11] across, and it kind of looks like a [22:12] building with a bunch of windows. It's [22:13] actually not, but that's kind of what it [22:15] looks like. And then you can see the [22:17] Dome of the Rock on top of that. [22:21] That's Mount Moriah. [22:23] The Dome of the Rock, and I'll get into [22:25] this later. The Dome of the Rock is [22:26] underneath that golden that golden dome, [22:29] the rock, okay? [22:31] Um, [22:32] zoom in on the wall if you can. Okay. [22:35] This is the Eastern Gate. [22:38] You see that little square? It's off to [22:40] the off to the side, off to the your [22:42] right hand side, I think. [22:44] Um, and it is that's the Eastern Gate. [22:47] So, Jesus is going to split the [22:49] mountains. [22:50] Water's going to the dead will rise. [22:52] Water will come down, run to the Dead [22:53] Sea right there in that little kind of [22:56] ditch where those trees are. That'll all [22:58] be flowing water. [22:59] And then and will cross over, and he [23:01] will go through that gate to the Temple [23:03] Mount, okay? [23:05] Here's the funny Here's a funny thing. I [23:07] don't think Muslims understand Jesus [23:09] because they [23:12] they put stones in front of that gate. [23:14] If you can see, there is no doorway [23:16] there because they bricked it up. [23:19] Apparently, in an effort to make sure [23:21] that the Messiah that the Messiah can't [23:23] go through that gate. So, it's a signal [23:25] Sorry, Jesus. No room for you in this [23:27] inn. You're not coming through this [23:28] gate. [23:29] Um but I think they you know, he just [23:32] split the mountain. I don't think he's [23:33] going to have a problem. [23:34] Now, [23:35] that's the Eastern Gate. Let me show you [23:37] the next picture. This is me inside. [23:39] That's the Eastern Gate from the inside. [23:42] Behind or right in front of me, I'm [23:44] facing the Dome of the Rock. That's the [23:47] Eastern uh gate. [23:49] Now, this is this is such a place that [23:53] Jews [23:54] um are not really welcome. Very few [23:56] people. [23:57] Um Christians are not welcome. You are [24:00] not allowed to pray up there. [24:03] They have monitors all over. [24:07] Honestly, it's a little creepy, but [24:08] they're kind of sitting in chairs all [24:10] around and all they're doing is they're [24:12] reading their scriptures. They're [24:13] reading their Quran, but they're [24:15] watching you. [24:16] And they are to stop anyone from praying [24:20] on the Temple Mount. [24:22] The holiest spot This is This is it. [24:24] This is where it all began. The holiest [24:26] spot for three religions, they think. [24:28] Actually, it's the third holiest spot [24:30] for them. [24:31] Um but uh [24:34] it's condition is remarkable. Let me [24:38] show you the the Eastern Gate and I want [24:40] you to look down in the corner and [24:42] there's another photo we didn't get it [24:44] in. There's another one right below and [24:45] it's garbage right below us and there's [24:47] garbage back there. [24:50] Um this is one of the [24:53] least maintained places. This is just [24:56] trash and [24:57] um you know, in the area right around [25:01] the the Temple Mount. Go ahead and [25:03] scroll through. [25:05] Um then [25:07] and I I want to [25:09] I wish I could [25:14] take it for what it's worth. [25:18] On the Temple Mount [25:22] I felt evil like I've never felt before. [25:26] I thought I I didn't know what I would [25:29] feel. [25:30] I thought I would feel something cuz [25:32] it's the old temple. [25:34] Um but all I felt was evil. And even the [25:38] animals seemed different. Um and I know [25:41] this is a natural thing, but the next [25:43] picture is a cat with a dead bird in its [25:46] mouth. [25:47] Um [25:48] there were a lot of dead things up [25:50] there. Flies seemed to be everywhere, at [25:53] least on the day that I was there. [25:55] Many places smell like urine. [25:58] Um and this is where the temple was. [26:02] The next picture is me standing in front [26:03] of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. [26:06] Uh that's about as close as I wanted to [26:08] get to it. Um the doors were open, but I [26:11] could not uh go in. [26:14] My wife and I were so freaked out about [26:17] it. Um and as you see, we had the Temple [26:19] Mount almost to ourselves. It was [26:22] remarkable. It was really only us and [26:25] our security team and the people that [26:27] were reading their Qurans under the [26:28] trees there, um watching us to make sure [26:31] we were praying. I started the next one. [26:34] This is the Dome of the Rock. The rock [26:36] is the foundation stone. [26:39] It's where, you know, they say Adam and [26:42] Eve happened. And then uh Abraham was to [26:46] um [26:47] uh sacrifice uh Isaac and [26:50] all of it happened on a rock, they say, [26:54] on a rock underneath that dome. You are [26:57] not allowed to go into that. Muslims are [26:59] the only ones to go to the foundation [27:02] stone, but it belongs to all religions. [27:04] Um but you're not allowed to go in. [27:07] The Al-Aqsa Mosque is the important [27:10] thing, not the Dome of the Rock, as I [27:12] understand it. I could be wrong. [27:14] Um [27:15] but I as I'm walking towards this, I was [27:18] so creeped out by this. I I can't tell [27:21] you the amount of [27:26] evil that I felt. [27:29] I said to my wife loudly, she was [27:31] standing way behind and I said to my [27:33] wife loudly, I said, "Hey, honey, [27:36] come here. I want to tell you [27:37] something." [27:38] And she came up to me and she was said, [27:39] "What?" And I said, "Come here." And I [27:41] grabbed her and I said, [27:45] "We have to pray [27:47] right now." [27:48] I said, "Do you feel this?" And she [27:49] said, "Oh, yes, I feel it." [27:52] >> [snorts] [27:52] >> That's us praying illegally on the uh [27:56] Temple Mount in the Dome of the Rock. [27:59] >> [snorts] [28:00] >> Right to this side, you see that little [28:02] dome on the side of it? Go to the next [28:04] picture and you'll see that dome. This [28:06] is where in the ancient temple, the [28:09] altar would have been. [28:11] This is This is where the red heifer [28:13] will be um sacrificed. This is where all [28:17] of the offerings to God were made, right [28:20] there. [28:22] If you look at the ground, you will see [28:24] water bottles, uh chairs, there was [28:27] garbage everywhere. [28:29] It is not [28:31] it is not maintained as if it's a sacred [28:33] place. It is really [28:35] remarkably [28:37] abused um and again, smelling like [28:40] urine. [28:41] Um [28:42] so I go out of that little dome to the [28:44] next. I walk right behind me and that's [28:47] the open door into the Dome of the Rock. [28:51] >> [snorts] [28:51] >> And these two women were sitting there, [28:53] and they were just talking. [28:55] And I came up to the door, and I didn't [28:57] get I maybe one stone closer. [29:00] And I was just looking in. I just wanted [29:01] to look in. [29:03] And these two women turned around. Now, [29:05] if you're at a historic site, if you're [29:07] at a religious site, and somebody comes [29:10] in, you would just say to them, "I'm [29:11] sorry, this is very sacred. This You're [29:13] not allowed in here." [29:15] These two women turned to me and went, [29:16] "No! No! [29:19] Back! No!" [29:21] And it was like [29:23] visceral. [29:24] Not nice for these two women. [29:27] Um and I was again the only one. I mean, [29:29] it's and it was really early in the [29:31] morning, so it's not like you've had a [29:32] really bad day. You just probably got [29:34] there. This is the way you're behaving. [29:37] Next is in the Bible, this is now the [29:41] Al-Aqsa Mosque is behind me. This is a [29:43] place where you can go that is not on [29:46] the Temple Mount. These are the stairs [29:48] to Solomon's Temple. [29:51] These are the stairs that Jesus and [29:53] everybody would have walked up to go to [29:55] the temple. Um this is where [29:59] that Peter or Paul, one of them, [30:01] right after they get the Holy Spirit, [30:03] they go and they're baptizing 5,000. It [30:06] happened right where we're sitting. [30:09] There are these pools of of what have [30:11] been would have been pools of water uh [30:13] right in front. Right where the [30:15] cameraman is standing, that's where [30:17] those pools are. That's where they [30:19] baptized 5,000. [30:21] I have some good news. Over 50,000 [30:23] babies have been saved this year alone [30:25] by this audience, and more than 5,100 [30:28] commitments to Christ through the [30:29] ministry of Pre-Born this year. Now, how [30:31] is it happening? I'll give you this [30:33] personal message from Dan Steiner. He is [30:35] the uh president of Pre-Born. He said, [30:37] "Because of you, we can invite mothers [30:39] con- in considering abortion into a [30:41] Pre-Born network clinic to meet their [30:43] baby. And when she has that close [30:45] encounter of the best kind in her womb, [30:47] she is 80% more likely to choose life. [30:50] You make the difference. You can help [30:52] make a first encounter possible for the [30:54] next mom. Across America, Pre-Born [30:56] Network clinics are putting the gospel [30:58] into action, surrounding mothers with [31:00] hope and love, and providing free [31:02] ultrasounds. They're life-saving. Will [31:04] you join Pre-Born as a help to rescue [31:06] another 50,000 more babies? [31:09] For $28, you can sponsor an ultrasound [31:11] and help save a baby's life. Donate.

[31:21] All gifts are tax deductible. [31:25] And so we're sitting there and we're [31:27] reading our scriptures and we're talking [31:28] about, you know, what happened there. [31:31] >> [snorts] [31:31] >> And right, if you look to the left [31:34] behind, um, actually my daughter sitting [31:36] on the end. You look to the left and you [31:39] see a little dome up at the top. And [31:41] you'll see a wall coming in, and you see [31:43] half a doorway. That was the actual [31:46] doorway to the temple. That's where [31:48] Jesus would have walked in to the [31:50] temple. [32:00] >> [snorts] [32:11] >> I just wanted to go. [32:14] Touch the door frame. [32:20] I got to [32:21] the top of the stairs [32:23] about 6 ft away. [32:26] And I have never felt evil [32:30] chase me away. [32:32] I've never felt anything like it. [32:35] And I backed up. [32:37] And [32:38] I don't know why I said this cuz that's [32:40] what everybody does. You go to a bad [32:41] restaurant and you have something to eat [32:42] and you're like, "Oh my gosh, that's [32:43] horrible. Try this." [32:45] I immediately said to Tanya, I said, [32:47] "Tanya, come here for a second." [32:49] I wanted to see if she felt it. [32:51] And she walked up and I said she said, [32:54] "What?" And I said, "I wanted to touch [32:56] the doorframe. I can't make it." And I [32:58] didn't say anything else. And she [32:59] stopped. She's like, "Oh my gosh." [33:01] And I said, "Right, you're feeling that, [33:03] right?" And she's like, "Oh my gosh." We [33:05] We get away. Let's go. The next picture [33:08] is I beat it. And this is her [33:11] kind of quickly coming down the stairs [33:14] to get away. And [33:16] that corner, there was nothing in it. [33:18] But that corner was [33:21] telling you it it reeked [33:24] uh and it just it just wasn't good. It [33:28] wasn't good. [33:30] The night before we leave Jerusalem, [33:33] we go to a Templar church. And it's like [33:35] 8:00 at night, 7:00 at night. And we go [33:37] in and it's this monk. It's this [33:40] wonderful guy. [33:41] He is uh probably [33:44] uh I don't know, 75. He's French. Don't [33:47] hold that against him. [33:49] >> [snorts] [33:49] >> Um and he takes us into this Templar [33:52] church. [33:53] And so, you have to go down into it. And [33:56] we're kind of standing there in the [33:58] church and then you kind of go down in [34:00] around these stairs [34:01] and you see the original church. [34:03] And the original church was built by the [34:06] Templars. [34:07] Um and it would have been beautiful at [34:09] one point. Go to the next picture. Um [34:12] these are some of the frescos that are [34:13] on, but you'll notice all of the faces [34:15] have been scratched off. That came from [34:18] the Muslims when they uh came in, they [34:21] scratched all of this off and they and [34:23] they also scratched off anything that [34:25] was left. They scratched off all of the [34:26] faces. [34:28] It was amazing. He said, "This is such a [34:31] great place to worship." And then he [34:32] turns, go to the next and go ahead and [34:34] start the video. He turns and he does [34:36] this. [34:39] It has sound. [34:45] >> [singing] [35:02] >> At this point, I'm like, [35:05] "I can't believe my life. [35:08] How blessed we are." [35:10] >> [snorts] [35:11] >> He does that. [35:13] And then he turns and he says this. Go [35:15] to the next and play the audio. [35:19] No, no, no, the one before that, please. [35:21] Is there another one before that? [35:24] >> [snorts] [35:25] >> No? [35:26] >> [sighs] [35:27] >> Uh [35:29] He turns and he talks about how [35:31] beautiful [35:33] life is and how beautiful God is and how [35:36] he just aches for us to get together and [35:38] we can all find a way to live in peace. [35:43] We don't mix our religions, we just find [35:46] a way and he was so optimistic and it [35:48] was so beautiful. [35:50] And then he had to leave us cuz he had [35:52] to go join for evening prayers. And as [35:55] we're leaving and we're standing right [35:57] in front of the church, [35:59] the next one, this is what happens. [36:10] My daughter was [36:12] Listen how far the echo travels. See [36:13] her? Listen how far the echo travels. [36:17] And you can't [36:19] tell. That is so loud. It is It's [36:22] echoing through this entire valley. [36:25] And it's right next to the church. [36:28] As the Muslims or as the as the monks [36:30] are quietly singing in their church, [36:33] that's what's happening right next door. [36:36] And again, [36:39] you can call me [36:41] you can call me Islamophobic. I'm not. I [36:43] Phobic means you have a irrational fear. [36:47] I have no irrational fear. I know the [36:50] history. [36:52] I know the way it is worshipped. Um and [36:56] I know how [36:59] uh the worst [37:00] use this religion. And I know what I [37:03] felt. None of it was irrational. [37:05] Uh we're driving away and I took this [37:07] picture and [37:12] I just said to the kids cuz it was this [37:14] is a great night, but uh it freaked us [37:16] out a little bit and uh freaked my [37:17] daughter out and I said, "Just think of [37:19] it as evil Disneyland." Anyway, um [37:22] here's [37:24] Here is um [37:28] Here's something else I want to show [37:29] you. And we're getting we're getting [37:30] close to the end. I'm sorry if [37:33] uh is this a boring slideshow? [37:35] >> [snorts] [37:36] >> Um [37:39] Most people don't ever get a chance to [37:41] go to the Garden of Gethsemane. [37:43] And uh I didn't include some pictures of [37:45] the actual garden. It's beautiful and [37:47] some of the trees are 2,000 years old. [37:50] And somewhere in this area [37:53] Jesus would have prayed. [37:55] Um Now, the tradition is [37:58] is that he prayed at the rock of Agget [38:00] um [38:01] agony. [38:03] We don't know what rock it was. [38:05] But this is the church that is built [38:07] around a rock [38:09] and you can go up and touch it. [38:14] This is Tanya and I. [38:17] You can see that it has like thorns [38:19] around the rock. You can go and touch it [38:21] and you can pray. [38:23] And I will tell you [38:26] I've been to Jerusalem three times. I've [38:29] been to these sites. [38:30] >> [snorts] [38:31] >> And the first time I went was a couple [38:34] years after I sobered up and it was [38:36] right after 9/11. [38:38] And [38:39] I was so afraid of failing [38:42] in my faith [38:46] cuz it was new to me. [38:47] >> [snorts] [38:48] >> I remember being overwhelmed and just [38:50] pray [38:51] Help me. Help me. Help me. Help me. I [38:52] was just all I could think of and it was [38:54] coming from me. It wasn't coming from [38:55] me. It was just help me. Help me. Help [38:56] me. Help me. Help me. [38:58] The second time I went and I went to [38:59] these sites, I prayed. [39:02] And um [39:05] it was for [39:07] um [39:08] uh restoring courage and we had suicide [39:10] vests out. [39:12] It everything. I had just left Fox. Um [39:15] it was so dangerous. It was such a [39:17] dangerous point in our life. [39:20] And I went to those sites and all I [39:21] could think of was help me. Help me. [39:22] Help me. Help me. Help me. [39:24] I don't know if it's my age. [39:26] I don't know what it is. [39:28] But I didn't pray at any of these sites. [39:30] It just naturally came out of me. [39:33] Every time [39:35] I started to pray [39:51] the only thing I could say [39:55] >> [snorts] [39:55] >> was thank you. Thank you. Thank you. [39:56] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. [40:01] >> [snorts] [40:07] >> God's real. [40:09] He's alive. [40:12] And he's tremendous. [40:14] >> [snorts] [40:17] >> The are tombs, two places that people [40:20] say Jesus was buried at. [40:22] And some people believe um it is in the [40:26] um [40:27] Church of the Holy Sepulchre. And they [40:29] say that that's where [40:31] he was crucified, taken down, and he was [40:33] buried. [40:34] And it might be. Nobody knows. Nobody [40:37] knows. [40:37] Uh this one was um [40:40] uh deemed that by Helena. She was the uh [40:43] the mother of Constantine. [40:46] And she went away she went around and [40:47] this is before real archaeology or [40:49] anything and she said, "It looks like it [40:51] was that place. This is the Holy [40:53] Sepulchre and this is that place and [40:55] this is this place." [40:57] And still today we don't know. But um [40:59] archaeology is showing us that some of [41:01] these places, I'm not making a statement [41:03] on this, some of these places are not [41:04] accurate. Um but um for a lot of I [41:09] Catholics believe this, the Orthodox [41:11] Church believes this, a lot of people [41:13] believe this is the burial tomb um [41:16] inside this church where Jesus was laid [41:19] to rest and rose again. This is a [41:22] picture of the inside of the church and [41:25] that when you walk in to this little [41:27] room inside the church [41:30] is [snorts] this. And that is the stone [41:33] where they say um Christ was was buried. [41:38] When we were there, they announced that [41:40] they just found some things underneath [41:43] that room and they think that might be [41:45] where he was buried underneath. But [41:47] again, [41:48] we don't know. But what I wanted to show [41:50] you um about the Church of the Sepulchre [41:53] is we were going into some of the [41:55] catacombs that are right around there. [41:57] And [snorts] I took a picture of an [41:59] altar that was there. I mean, this is [42:01] such an important church [42:03] and it's not in the best shape, quite [42:06] honestly. And like five churches are [42:09] responsible for it and you'd think you'd [42:10] take care of this. [42:12] And this is one of the altars, the side [42:13] altars, and it is in horrible shape. [42:17] And I said to the guide, I said, you [42:20] know, [42:21] no offense, but [42:24] I didn't say it this way, but the upkeep [42:26] isn't all that good here. What's [42:27] happening? [42:29] Um [snorts] cuz knowing that there'd be [42:30] people, I mean, I would pay for that to [42:32] be repaired. You know what I mean? There [42:34] had to be repaired. [42:37] So my guide said, well, it's [42:39] interesting. He took us outside. This is [42:40] the next picture. Takes us outside and [42:42] this is me. [42:44] He's explaining this to all of us and [42:46] Rafe and I are looking up because he [42:47] just told us something we could not [42:49] believe. [42:50] >> [snorts] [42:51] >> In the 1860s, [42:53] um [42:54] the churches could not agree on what [42:56] they were going to do on the inside. [42:57] They wanted to make some changes and [42:58] everything else. And so, one of the [43:00] church one of the churches said, well, [43:01] we're just going to change this. And the [43:03] other churches were like, no, you can't [43:04] change that. This belongs to all of us. [43:06] Well, okay, well, we want to update [43:07] this. We want to make this nicer. [43:09] No, well, we don't. And so they decided [43:12] in like 1862 that everything had to be [43:15] done with the with the consent of all, I [43:18] think it's five churches. It's either [43:20] four or five. [43:21] >> [snorts] [43:21] >> And so they have to agree [43:24] in unison on everything that is being [43:26] done. [43:28] Well, that day, go to the next picture, [43:30] that day that they decided that, [43:32] this is the front of the church. There [43:34] was a guy up on the second story and he [43:37] was washing the window on the right of [43:39] this picture. And if you really look at [43:42] it, you will see that there is a ladder [43:45] up to that window on that balcony. [43:48] Well, he was washing the windows. And he [43:51] comes down and he's about to wash the [43:53] windows on the other side and move the [43:55] ladder. [43:56] And somebody shouts up as he starts to [43:58] move the ladder, "Don't move the [43:59] ladder." [44:01] He's like, "Why? I've got to finish the [44:02] windows." "No, [44:03] that's now part of the church. [44:06] All five have to agree to remove the [44:09] ladder. That ladder has sat against [44:12] those windows since the window washer [44:15] put them there in 1862. [44:18] >> [snorts] [44:20] >> They're a little protective of of [44:21] things. Even [44:23] Even when it's It's not like the ladder [44:24] of Jesus. It's just a ladder. [44:27] But, [snorts] anyway. [44:28] The other tomb is the Garden Tomb. [44:31] Um and some people lapse I believe that [44:34] this is where Christ was laid, but some [44:36] churches say absolutely not. [44:39] Um This is us [44:41] just outside of the tomb. [44:43] Um I I don't [44:46] It's a very [44:48] very sacred place. [44:49] Um [snorts] and I and it's just outside [44:52] of the city. It's in the right place [44:53] with the right road. Archaeologically [44:56] speaking, I think it is right. [44:58] Um but, it was found 100 years ago. And [45:00] so, nobody really has investment in [45:03] this. I don't mean it that way, but [45:06] I don't mean it money-wise. I mean, [45:07] you're you're [45:09] If something has been said to be [45:10] something for 1,500 years, it's pretty [45:12] hard to move off that mark. [45:14] This [snorts] is a 100-year find, but it [45:16] fits all of everything that would be the [45:19] tomb that Christ would have been buried [45:21] in. [45:22] I will just tell you [45:24] um we left the Temple Mount and came [45:28] right here. [45:30] There were flies everywhere on the [45:33] Temple Mount. It It smelled. It was [45:36] awful. [45:38] We go to the Garden Tomb [45:40] and my my daughter said [45:43] and she wasn't up on the Temple Mount [45:44] with us, neither was my son. [45:46] Um [snorts] [45:48] She didn't know what she was telling me. [45:49] She said, "Dad, [45:51] look at all the butterflies. There are [45:53] no flies here. They're all butterflies." [45:57] The difference [46:00] was night and day. [46:02] Did the interview today with the guy [46:04] who's the Muslim convert and he said, [46:06] "Every time I prayed, I only felt [46:07] enmity." [46:09] That is exactly what I felt, enmity up [46:12] on the Temple Mount. [46:14] Here, it was just [46:17] unbelievable peace. [46:19] Let me show you a couple of other things [46:21] real quick. [46:22] The next photo, this is the Jordan [46:25] River. [46:27] That's where you can go today and be [46:29] baptized. And if you do, [46:32] next picture, make sure you stop here at [46:34] the top of those stairs is that tree, [46:36] right between my wife and my daughter, [46:39] and it has a sign on it [46:46] saying that it was [46:48] >> [clears throat] [46:50] >> planted in my honor. [46:53] I remember the first time I saw it, it [46:55] was about this big. [46:56] And I looked at my kids and I said, [46:58] "Someday, you're going to bring your [47:00] kids here and they will be able to sit [47:02] underneath that tree and shade [47:04] themselves." It's an olive tree. [47:07] Okay, now let me get into what I really [47:10] wanted to show you. [47:13] 2005, I'm going to be really sketchy on [47:16] the dates on all of this. 2005, you [47:19] know, the city of David, we always [47:20] thought that was Jerusalem. It's not. [47:22] The city of David is is not the Jerusa- [47:25] the Jerusalem you're going to [47:27] is not necessarily the Jerusalem that [47:30] was. Parts of it are, the Temple Mount, [47:32] absolutely. But the wall has changed [47:35] several times. [47:36] And where is King David's palace? [47:40] W- Where Where are all of these things? [47:42] Where is the pool where the Lord said, [47:46] "Pick up your stuff and walk." Where [47:48] Where is all of that? 2005, [47:51] um a pipe bursts and they start to uh go [47:56] down and dig down to get the pipe and [47:58] repair it. And when they do, they have [47:59] an excavator and it scrapes against some [48:01] stones. Well, in Jerusalem, you hit [48:04] stones, you got to stop, you got to [48:05] bring in a team in and make sure it's [48:07] not an archaeological find. [48:09] Well, it was an archaeological find. It [48:11] was a set of stairs. And we're standing [48:14] now in this area. It's a a set of [48:16] stairs. Let me see the next picture [48:18] here. [48:19] Yeah, the next picture, now we're [48:20] sitting on those stairs. It's my son and [48:22] my daughter. And they're sitting on that [48:24] stair. [48:25] So, they start to dig down and they find [48:27] the stairs and then they find that shelf [48:29] there and then they find this pit. [48:32] Somewhere on that shelf area, it goes [48:35] all the way around that cuz that was [48:37] filled with water. It was the pool. [48:40] Somewhere on the shelf around there is [48:42] where Jesus said, "Pick up your stuff [48:45] and walk." [48:48] So, now we have [48:50] Now we have the evidence of this. Now we [48:52] know where exactly where that happened. [48:56] And then at the end of that pool, there [48:58] is a a street. Now, this street is, I [49:01] think, two stories underground. [49:03] Um and it has to be all done underground [49:07] because up above, they're all new [49:09] buildings and they're all um Muslim [49:13] housing. Okay? And [49:16] it the people who are Muslim, Israel has [49:20] offered, "We'll buy your house. We'll [49:21] buy your house." [49:22] Um [49:23] the Muslims have been told, "If you sell [49:25] to a Jew, [49:27] we will kill you." [49:28] So, nobody will sell their house. So, [49:30] they have to do everything underneath. [49:32] So, all of the excavation underneath, [49:34] and you walk in out of the pool, that's [49:36] where you went and you cleansed yourself [49:37] to go to the temple. Then you would walk [49:39] on the street and you would go to the [49:41] Temple Mount and you'd go up those [49:42] stairs that I showed you earlier and [49:43] you'd go through that [49:48] that arch. [49:50] This is where Jesus walked. This is [49:53] Everybody walked on this. [49:56] And you first thing you would do is you [49:58] would get to this this street and there [50:01] would be these little shops the next one [50:03] and they made one little shop to kind of [50:04] show you what it would be like back [50:06] then. [50:07] And this is so this is the first shop on [50:09] the road and in almost all of these [50:11] shops there was somebody changing money [50:14] because you needed a [50:16] temple shekel. You needed a pure silver [50:19] coin. [50:21] But all of these shops on this I don't [50:23] even know what it is quarter of a mile [50:25] street [50:26] these shops were changing money and so [50:28] you would take a shekel and you'd buy [50:30] the pure silver temple shekel shekel and [50:33] all of them colluded and said you know [50:35] what let's make them all 50. Why compete [50:38] we'll just what's the highest number? [50:40] You were selling them for 40 40 shekels [50:42] for one let's make it 50 everybody's [50:44] happy. And so they all locked it in and [50:46] you had to have that to be able to go [50:49] into the temple. [50:51] So it's on this street at the top of the [50:52] street where Jesus [50:54] turned the tables over and chased out [50:57] the money changers. [50:58] So but to get to the top you're actually [51:01] going underground into the into this [51:05] uh hallway and you can see this is half [51:07] the size of the street because they [51:08] can't expand it anymore [51:10] um at this point. This was [51:13] this was unknown to be here. Nobody knew [51:16] this was even here in 2005. This was [51:20] just opened I think last year. [51:24] And it goes on and on and on and the [51:25] things that are in it are amazing and [51:27] you can go and see it it's the city of [51:28] David. It's an amazing project. [51:32] So [51:37] the guy who's giving us the guide giving [51:40] us the tour [51:42] I said [51:44] I have heard [51:46] that you have found something [51:47] significant. [51:49] And he knew exactly what I was talking [51:51] about. [51:53] And um [51:55] and we had seen in on that road you can [51:58] go in and they found King David's [52:00] palace. [52:02] They have found what they believe is the [52:04] cistern that Jeremiah was thrown into. [52:09] Um and I stood in it. Um [52:12] the things that they have found are [52:14] remarkable remarkable. [52:16] And you can see them. [52:18] But I said, "I've heard that you [52:20] think you may have found something." [52:24] And he said, [52:27] "Well, [52:29] maybe. [52:30] Um but it's not something that, you [52:33] know, we discuss." And I said, [52:37] "Can I see what you have found?" [52:40] He said, "Uh I can show you what I can [52:42] show you. I can't show you what we found [52:45] because we haven't found it. We just [52:47] think we know where it might be." [52:52] I said, "Okay." [52:54] So we leave, we come back a couple of [52:55] days later and I've got meetings, so I'm [52:58] It's my vacation. So I'm in a suit [53:00] and uh it's like 7:00 in the morning and [53:03] he looks at me and he's like, [53:05] "You're wearing a suit." And I'm like, [53:07] "I have a meeting in an hour and I am [53:09] not missing this." [53:11] And he's like, "Okay. [53:13] I have to take you through a [53:14] 4,000-year-old [53:17] sewer." [53:19] >> [snorts] [53:19] >> And I'm like, "Does this still smell [53:20] like sewer?" And he's like, "No." And [53:22] I'm like, "Then we're good. Let's go." [53:24] So it's very small. I had to you walk [53:26] almost almost like a monkey kind of [53:29] almost on your hands and knees and I [53:30] mean your hands and feet where you're [53:32] way bent down. [53:34] It's you get very claustrophobic. It's a [53:36] very long sewer that you're walking [53:39] through. No light. It's literally the [53:41] light at the end of the tunnel. Um and [53:44] then it opens up and you it opens up [53:46] into this one space and that's where my [53:48] wife and I think that's my son. Is that [53:50] my wife or my son standing next to her? [53:53] It opens up. It's still a very narrow [53:54] space, but it opens up into that. And [53:57] right where the camera guy is standing [53:59] to take that picture, it may have been [54:00] me. Um there is a a ladder um that goes [54:06] down. [54:07] And it is the most rickety steel ladder [54:10] you've ever been. OSHA would not like [54:13] this at all. [54:15] We go down the ladder and that's a [54:17] cistern. [54:19] Been there, done that. [54:21] Who is trapped in this cistern? [54:24] It's not about that. [54:28] Look at the walls of the cistern. You [54:30] see how they're all plastered? This is [54:32] 4,000 years old, by the way. [54:35] All plastered. [54:37] Except behind the ladder. Go to the next [54:38] picture. I think it might be a little [54:39] closer. [54:40] Do you see that archway? [54:43] Notice that that's not plastered. That's [54:45] stone. [54:47] That's a stone wall that was put there. [54:50] Somebody opened up that plaster wall of [54:52] the cistern. [54:54] And then [54:55] for unknown reason um opened it and then [55:00] put stone in front of it. [55:03] Um and then tried to make it all go [55:05] away. So, when they open this up, they [55:07] find this area and they're like, "What [55:09] what's behind this?" And they start [55:12] finding that somebody had built a wall [55:13] there. Again, [55:15] this was built [55:17] they believe [55:19] at the time the Ark of the Covenant was [55:22] moved. [55:23] And there are people that say the Ark of [55:25] the Covenant is in Ethiopia or whatever, [55:28] but the archaeologists believe it's got [55:30] to be someplace close to the temple [55:33] because you didn't just move the Ark of [55:36] the Covenant. You you [55:38] you had you had a special priesthood [55:40] that moved it. It had to be moved in a [55:41] special way. This is not like somebody [55:44] coming in and capturing it and not [55:45] caring. [55:47] This was the Jews who knew what it was. [55:49] So, there's no record of this. It just [55:51] disappeared one day. [55:56] They don't know. I want to be very [55:57] careful because [55:58] this is very sensitive. [56:01] Um [snorts] and they don't they don't [56:03] know. [56:04] Um [56:06] and you'll understand why this is so [56:07] sensitive in a minute. [56:11] They believe that behind that wall [56:14] somewhere within 20 m [56:17] is the Ark of the Covenant. [56:20] And I said, you guys keep digging and [56:22] digging and digging. [56:25] Why haven't you taken down that wall? [56:27] And he looked at me and he said, [56:30] Do you want to go get it? [56:32] >> [snorts] [56:33] >> And I said, [56:34] No. [56:35] And he said, Yeah, none of us want to go [56:37] in and get it. [56:39] He said, um God will tell us when it's [56:42] time to go get it. And if it's not here, [56:45] it's somewhere around here, but he will [56:46] tell us [56:47] when it's time to have the temple, [56:49] that's when the Lord will say, Go get [56:51] the Ark. Here it is. [56:53] The thing I was struck on this whole [56:54] tour was [56:56] what's being discovered in Israel is [57:00] happening so rapidly. The archaeological [57:03] finds are speeding up and it I mean [57:07] literally next year this whole place [57:09] will be different. [57:11] And they're [snorts] finding all of this [57:13] history that is verifying everything and [57:15] are they about to find [57:18] or have they found the Ark of the [57:19] Covenant? [57:22] Where the cistern ends, [57:24] they put these stones in. [57:27] About [57:29] uh [57:31] maybe 20 ft behind that wall. [57:34] They believe it's empty. [57:37] And then on the other wall facing this [57:39] door frame, [57:41] 20 ft maximum the other side, [57:44] is the cornerstone of the temple. [57:48] They believe it was either taken down [57:50] cuz that would be right where the stairs [57:52] are. [57:53] They believe that it was either taken [57:54] down [57:56] um [57:56] and lowered into this because if I [57:58] didn't take a picture of the ceiling I [57:59] don't have one, but the ceiling there's [58:01] another really large hole that was not a [58:04] cistern wouldn't have had it. And it is [58:06] a really large hole, bigger than the [58:08] where the ladder is. [58:10] And they think that it might have been [58:11] lowered down into the cistern and put in [58:14] there and then sealed up so it was [58:16] protected. The other theory is [58:19] that maybe there is a doorway somewhere [58:23] uh there and they took it out through [58:25] the very bottom of the Temple Mount and [58:28] put it there and then walled it all up. [58:30] So one of the reasons why they don't go [58:32] there is because the Muslims will have a [58:35] coronary because they'll say you're [58:36] going to try to break into the Temple [58:38] Mount which you're not, you're just [58:40] going in between, but [58:41] some places are not the best with [58:43] subtlety. [58:45] Um but the most important reason is [58:48] they all know the power of it. They know [58:50] what it is and none of them are willing [58:53] to go in and find it as he said, [58:56] "Do you put it in a museum until it's [58:59] time to go into the temple?" [59:01] No. [59:03] Again, I want I want to be really [59:05] careful. I think I have been. I want to [59:06] make sure that was the only thing here. [59:08] Oh, here's another picture, yeah. [59:10] Um [59:11] uh I want to be really careful on this. [59:14] I'm not saying that they found it [59:17] because they won't say they found it. [59:18] Um [59:20] I don't [59:22] you know, I don't want to be any more [59:24] descriptive of where it is, but I mean [59:25] it's pretty clear. Um [59:28] but um um [59:31] all I know [59:33] is God is real. God is alive. God is [59:37] very active in today's world. [59:41] Profound darkness is also very active. [59:45] Evil is real. We are going to have a [59:48] battle of good and evil unlike the world [59:51] has ever seen. [59:53] And I [59:55] I wanted to share these things with you [59:56] cuz I just wanted you to know [60:01] God's on the move. [60:03] God is on the move. [60:05] Don't be neutral in your life and don't [60:08] listen to boobs like me. [60:12] Find God yourself. [60:16] I said it Charlie Kirk's memorial the [60:17] other day. [60:19] God's on the field. You're in the [60:20] stands. God's on the field. The game He [60:23] already We already know how the game [60:25] ends. [60:26] He doesn't need you on the field. He [60:28] wants you on the field and he's looking [60:30] at you in the stands going, "Come on. [60:32] Come on. Come on. Come on. This is going [60:33] to be great. This is going to be fun." [60:36] He has a different you know, definition [60:38] of fun. [60:39] Um [60:41] but it is. It's going to be glorious. [60:43] It's going to be glorious and whether [60:45] you choose to get up and get on the [60:47] field with his information with his [60:48] invitation or not, you are going to find [60:51] yourself on the field. I suggest you [60:54] choose which side you're on.
