- IS THE TIME OF DAVID HISTORICAL
- 00:00:53.102 --> 00:00:54.537

- - IN THIS HOUSE HERE, WE FOUND--
- 00:08:06.235 --> 00:08:07.636
- - IN THIS SPECIFIC ONE?
- 00:08:07.636 --> 00:08:08.871
- - YEAH. IN THE CORNER WE FOUND A JAR WITH AN
- 00:08:08.871 --> 00:08:11.340
- INSCRIPTION ON IT ...
- 00:08:11.340 --> 00:08:15.210
- AND THE NAME IS EXACTLY THE NAME OF SAUL'S SON
- 00:08:16.245 --> 00:08:18.881
- WHO RULED AFTER HIM.
- 00:08:18.881 --> 00:08:20.149
- SO WE ARE WALKING OUT THROUGH THE SOUTHERN GATE
- 00:08:20.149 --> 00:08:22.952
- OF KHIRBET QEIYAFA. I'M SURE THAT WHEN KING DAVID CAME
- 00:08:22.952 --> 00:08:25.454
- FROM JERUSALEM TO VISIT THE PLACE, HE ENTERED THE
- 00:08:25.454 --> 00:08:29.124
- CITY THROUGH THIS GATE, SO WE ARE LITERALLY NOW
- 00:08:29.124 --> 00:08:32.428
- HERE ON THE FOOTSTEPS OF KING DAVID.
- 00:08:32.428 --> 00:08:34.563
- - THAT'S -THERE'S NOT MANY PLACES IN THE WORLD
- 00:08:34.563 --> 00:08:36.999
- YOU COULD SAY THAT.
- 00:08:36.999 --> 00:08:38.133
- - MAYBE THE ONLY PLACE IN THE WORLD THAT IT'S
- 00:08:38.133 --> 00:08:39.868
- 100% TRUE THAT YOU ARE WALKING ON THE FOOTSTEPS
- 00:08:39.868 --> 00:08:42.871
- OF KING DAVID.
- 00:08:42.871 --> 00:08:45.374
- - SHALOM AND WELCOME BACK TO OUR STUDIO HERE
- 00:08:46.375 --> 00:08:47.676
- IN JERUSALEM.
- 00:08:47.676 --> 00:08:48.978
- IT'S AMAZING TO SEE HOW GOD 3.000 YEARS LATER
- 00:08:48.978 --> 00:08:51.513
- STILL PROVIDES US EVIDENCE THEREAT WORD OF
- 00:08:51.513 --> 00:08:55.451
- GOD, MATI, IS REAL.
- 00:08:55.451 --> 00:08:57.052
- - I AGREE 100%.
- 00:08:57.052 --> 00:08:58.287
- WE'RE LIVING IN AN INCREDIBLE TIME.
- 00:08:58.287 --> 00:09:00.422
- THINK ABOUT IT, 20 YEARS AGO IF YOU SAID KING
- 00:09:00.422 --> 00:09:03.826
- DAVID IS EXACTLY AS IT'S DESCRIBED IN THE
- 00:09:03.826 --> 00:09:05.761
- BIBLE PEOPLE WOULD LAUGH AT YOU.
- 00:09:05.761 --> 00:09:07.730
- AND TODAY THE ARCHEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE IS
- 00:09:07.730 --> 00:09:10.499
- OVERWHELMING.
- 00:09:10.499 --> 00:09:11.634
- THE SAME TIME, THE SAME EXTENT OF THE KINGDOM,
- 00:09:11.634 --> 00:09:14.203
- THE SAME -EVERYTHING.
- 00:09:14.203 --> 00:09:15.971
- AND ALL OF THAT IS COMING OUT OF THE GROUND.
- 00:09:15.971 --> 00:09:18.073
- ALL OF THAT IS BEING DISCOVERED
- 00:09:18.073 --> 00:09:19.241
- IN ARCHAEOLOGY.
- 00:09:19.241 --> 00:09:20.409
- - YOU SEE, MATI, FOR US AS A BELIEVER IN THE
- 00:09:20.409 --> 00:09:22.544
- MESSIAH, THE EVIDENCE OF KING DAVID IS CRUCIAL
- 00:09:22.544 --> 00:09:26.482
- BECAUSE IF DAVID ISN'T EXIST, YESHUA CANNOT
- 00:09:26.482 --> 00:09:29.685
- CLAIM TO BE THE SON OF DAVID.
- 00:09:29.685 --> 00:09:31.420
- - YEAH.
- 00:09:31.420 --> 00:09:32.554
- ALL THE PROMISES OF THE BIBLE THEY ALL STAND ON
- 00:09:32.554 --> 00:09:34.857
- THE FACT THAT DAVID EXISTED AS HE'S DESCRIBED.
- 00:09:34.857 --> 00:09:37.793
- AND ARCHAEOLOGY IS SHOWING EXACTLY THAT.
- 00:09:37.793 --> 00:09:40.095
- ARCHAEOLOGY IS PROVING TODAY RIGHT BEHIND US IN
- 00:09:40.095 --> 00:09:42.898
- THE CITY OF DAVID.
- 00:09:42.898 --> 00:09:43.966
- - RIGHT BEHIND US RIGHT HERE.
- 00:09:43.966 --> 00:09:45.134
- - YEAH.
- 00:09:45.134 --> 00:09:46.301
- IT'S PROVING TO US THAT PERSON EXISTED IN THE
- 00:09:46.301 --> 00:09:47.636
- SAME WAY, AND EVERYTHING COMES FROM THAT, SO WHAT
- 00:09:47.636 --> 00:09:50.372
- DO YOU SAY, SAMUEL?
- 00:09:50.372 --> 00:09:51.974
- LET'S GO DEEPER INTO THE CHARACTER OF KING DAVID?
- 00:09:51.974 --> 00:09:54.276
- - LET'S CONTINUE WATCHING.
- 00:09:54.276 --> 00:09:56.178
- [ MUSIC ]
- 00:09:56.178 --> 00:09:58.013
- - WE'RE HEADED TOWARD THE CITY OF DAVID.
- 00:09:58.013 --> 00:09:59.648
- IT'S THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ARCHEOLOGICAL SITE
- 00:09:59.648 --> 00:10:01.550
- DEFINITELY OUTSIDE OF THE OLD WALLS IN THE CITY
- 00:10:01.550 --> 00:10:04.053
- OF JERUSALEM.
- 00:10:04.053 --> 00:10:05.254
- WE'RE ABOUT TO MEET WITH FRANNY WHO IS A TOUR GUIDE WHO
- 00:10:05.254 --> 00:10:07.790
- IS GOING TO HELP US CONNECT THE DOTS BETWEEN
- 00:10:07.790 --> 00:10:10.726
- THE CHARACTER OF KING DAVID THAT WE READ ABOUT
- 00:10:10.726 --> 00:10:12.394
- IN THE BIBLE AND THE PHYSICAL CITY IN WHICH HE
- 00:10:12.394 --> 00:10:15.664
- ESTABLISHED HIS KINGDOM.
- 00:10:15.664 --> 00:10:17.166
- [ MUSIC ]
- 00:10:17.166 --> 00:10:20.169
- - HI, FRANNY.
- 00:10:20.169 --> 00:10:21.103
- - HOW IS IT GOING?
- 00:10:21.103 --> 00:10:22.004
- - IT'S GOING WELL.
- 00:10:22.004 --> 00:10:22.705
- - WELCOME.
- 00:10:22.705 --> 00:10:23.505
- - GOOD TO SEE YOU.
- 00:10:23.505 --> 00:10:24.206
- - NICE TO SEE YOU, TOO.
- 00:10:24.206 --> 00:10:25.841
- WE'VE BEEN TALKING AROUND THE
- 00:10:25.841 --> 00:10:28.410
- ARCHEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE.
- 00:10:28.410 --> 00:10:29.778
- LET'S BREAKDOWN THIS CHARACTER.
- 00:10:29.778 --> 00:10:31.847
- WHO IS THIS DAVID GUY THAT WE READ ABOUT
- 00:10:31.847 --> 00:10:33.115
- IN THE BIBLE?
- 00:10:33.115 --> 00:10:34.216
- HE'S ALMOST THIS MYSTICAL AND MYTHICAL CHARACTER
- 00:10:34.216 --> 00:10:36.418
- IN THE SCRIPTURES AND EVEN TODAY.
- 00:10:36.418 --> 00:10:38.053
- BUT HE WAS A REAL PERSON.
- 00:10:38.053 --> 00:10:39.488
- - STORY OF DAVID.
- 00:10:39.488 --> 00:10:40.723
- - LIKE ALL OF THAT LIKE THIS.
- 00:10:40.723 --> 00:10:41.790
- - OKAY.
- 00:10:41.790 --> 00:10:42.558
- HERE WE GO.
- 00:10:42.558 --> 00:10:43.592
- HE STARTS IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH AS A YOUNG
- 00:10:43.592 --> 00:10:46.428
- SHEPHERD WHO WAS OUT TO MEET HIS BROTHERS,
- 00:10:46.428 --> 00:10:49.098
- BECOMES THE ONE THAT KILLS GOLIATH.
- 00:10:49.098 --> 00:10:51.467
- AFTER THAT, THE PEOPLE OF JUDAH SAY WE WANT HIM,
- 00:10:51.467 --> 00:10:54.570
- BUT THERE'S STILL SAUL.
- 00:10:54.570 --> 00:10:55.871
- WE HAVE A WHOLE TIME PERIOD WHERE HE'S BEING
- 00:10:55.871 --> 00:10:57.940
- CHASED BY SAUL, THIS LOVE HATE RELATIONSHIP
- 00:10:57.940 --> 00:10:59.641
- WITH SAUL.
- 00:10:59.641 --> 00:11:01.443
- FINALLY SAUL DIES.
- 00:11:01.443 --> 00:11:02.878
- THE SECOND SAUL DIES HE'S ANOINTED AS KING.
- 00:11:02.878 --> 00:11:05.247
- AFTER THAT THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL SAY,
- 00:11:05.247 --> 00:11:06.582
- WAIT A SECOND.
- 00:11:06.582 --> 00:11:07.683
- WE WANT YOU TO BE KING OVER EVERYTHING, AND HE
- 00:11:07.683 --> 00:11:09.318
- SAID OKAY, I'M GOING TO BE KING OVER EVERYONE.
- 00:11:09.318 --> 00:11:11.153
- CREATES THE FIRST CAPITAL OF ISRAEL.
- 00:11:11.153 --> 00:11:14.590
- - RIGHT HERE.
- 00:11:14.590 --> 00:11:16.692
- LITERALLY RIGHT HERE.
- 00:11:15.390 --> 00:11:19.161
- SO THIS IS THE FAMOUS PALACE OF DAVID.
- 00:11:19.161 --> 00:11:21.697
- - I HAVE TO BE HONEST IT DOESN'T LOOK INCREDIBLY
- 00:11:21.697 --> 00:11:25.534
- PALACEY IN NATURE.
- 00:11:25.534 --> 00:11:27.569
- - I KNOW. I KNOW. JUST WAIT.
- 00:11:27.569 --> 00:11:28.570
- WE'LL UNCOVER IT ALL.
- 00:11:28.570 --> 00:11:30.672
- - THE CITY OF DAVID IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO TALK
- 00:11:30.672 --> 00:11:32.374
- ABOUT KING DAVID BECAUSE IT'S WHERE HE SPENT MUCH
- 00:11:32.374 --> 00:11:35.210
- OF HIS LIFE AND ESTABLISHED HIS KINGDOM.
- 00:11:35.210 --> 00:11:37.246
- THIS SITE HAS BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 150 YEARS
- 00:11:37.246 --> 00:11:40.983
- AND IT HOUSES NOT ONLY KING DAVID'S HISTORY BUT
- 00:11:40.983 --> 00:11:43.619
- THAT OF THE SUBSEQUENT KINGS IS AFTER HIM.
- 00:11:43.619 --> 00:11:46.088
- FRANNY, WE'RE HERE AT THE LOOK OUT OF THE
- 00:11:46.088 --> 00:11:47.556
- CITY OF DAVID.
- 00:11:47.556 --> 00:11:49.024
- - RIGHT.
- 00:11:49.024 --> 00:11:50.125
- SO WE'RE ACTUALLY STANDING OUTSIDE OF THE
- 00:11:50.125 --> 00:11:51.960
- OLD CITY WHICH IS ALWAYS SOMETHING LIKE,
- 00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:53.462
- WAIT A SECOND.
- 00:11:53.462 --> 00:11:54.163
- THE CITY OF DAVID.
- 00:11:54.163 --> 00:11:55.297
- WE'RE TALKING ABOUT JERUSALEM.
- 00:11:55.297 --> 00:11:56.365
- - SHOULDN'T WE BE INSIDE?
- 00:11:56.365 --> 00:11:57.466
- - THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT.
- 00:11:57.466 --> 00:11:59.468
- UP UNTIL 150 YEARS AGO, ANYONE WHO WOULD COME
- 00:11:59.468 --> 00:12:02.237
- LOOKING FOR DAVID WOULD GO INTO THE WALLS OF THE
- 00:12:02.237 --> 00:12:04.273
- OLD CITY TO WHERE THE TEMPLE MOUNT WAS.
- 00:12:04.273 --> 00:12:06.608
- THAT WAS SEEN AS JERUSALEM.
- 00:12:06.608 --> 00:12:08.577
- SO WE'RE HERE ON THE TINY HILLTOP RIGHT OUTSIDE
- 00:12:08.577 --> 00:12:11.980
- AND WHAT WE'RE UNCOVER IN THESE PAST 150 YEARS
- 00:12:11.980 --> 00:12:15.184
- PRETTY MUCH ALL THE BIBLICAL EVIDENCE THIS
- 00:12:15.184 --> 00:12:17.653
- WAS THE CITY OF DAVID.
- 00:12:17.653 --> 00:12:19.254
- - WHAT ARE THE MAIN THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN
- 00:12:19.254 --> 00:12:20.455
- THIS PLACE?
- 00:12:20.455 --> 00:12:21.757
- - FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE DAVID'S PALACE.
- 00:12:21.757 --> 00:12:22.925
- WE WANT TO THINK ABOUT WHERE MOST OF THE PSALMS
- 00:12:22.925 --> 00:12:24.793
- WOULD HAVE BEEN WRITTEN.
- 00:12:24.793 --> 00:12:25.294
- IT'S HERE.
- 00:12:25.294 --> 00:12:26.395
- AND THESE ARE THE VIEWS THAT DAVID IS SEEING.
- 00:12:26.395 --> 00:12:28.096
- WE LOOK AT THE HILLS THAT SURROUND JERUSALEM,
- 00:12:28.096 --> 00:12:30.866
- AND ONE OF THE FAMOUS DESCRIPTIONS THAT DAVID
- 00:12:30.866 --> 00:12:32.467
- WRITES ABOUT JERUSALEM IS "JERUSALEM MOUNTAINS
- 00:12:32.467 --> 00:12:35.904
- SURROUND YOU AS GOD SURROUNDS HIS PEOPLE" IN
- 00:12:35.904 --> 00:12:37.706
- PSALMS, AND YOU THINK WOW, THAT'S JERUSALEM.
- 00:12:37.706 --> 00:12:41.376
- IF THAT'S JERUSALEM UP THERE, THE MOUNTAINS
- 00:12:41.376 --> 00:12:42.978
- DON'T REALLY SURROUND IT, BUT SUDDENLY WAIT A
- 00:12:42.978 --> 00:12:44.947
- SECOND, DAVID STOOD HERE AND WROTE PSALMS, AND
- 00:12:44.947 --> 00:12:47.349
- MOUNTAINS DO SURROUND THIS TINY LITTLE HILLTOP.
- 00:12:47.349 --> 00:12:50.085
- SO IT'S LITERALLY ONE TO ONE.
- 00:12:50.085 --> 00:12:51.820
- - WHEN WE READ IN THE BIBLE TIMES, WE READ
- 00:12:51.820 --> 00:12:53.755
- ABOUT THE CITY OF DAVID, WE READ ABOUT ALL OF
- 00:12:53.755 --> 00:12:55.991
- THOSE PASSAGES. THAT ALL HAPPENS HERE.
- 00:12:55.991 --> 00:12:58.026
- - HE FIRST COMES HERE. IT'S A JEBUSITE CITY.
- 00:12:58.026 --> 00:12:59.995
- THAT'S THE FIRST TIME WE SEE THE CITY OF DAVID.
- 00:12:59.995 --> 00:13:02.197
- ALL THROUGHOUT THAT HE BUILDS HIS HOUSE, IT'S
- 00:13:02.197 --> 00:13:03.932
- MENTIONED THAT IT'S IN THE CITY OF DAVID.
- 00:13:03.932 --> 00:13:05.434
- EVEN WHEN DAVID DIES, HE'S BURIED IN, IR DAVID,
- 00:13:05.434 --> 00:13:08.604
- THE CITY OF DAVID.
- 00:13:08.604 --> 00:13:09.805
- BUT THE FIRST TIME IS RIGHT HERE WHERE IT SAYS
- 00:13:09.805 --> 00:13:11.707
- [SPEAKING HEBREW]
- 00:13:11.707 --> 00:13:14.009
- AND THE KING WENT TO JERUSALEM WITH HIS MEN.
- 00:13:14.009 --> 00:13:16.111
- [HEBREW] THE JEBUSITE WORD DWELING IN THE LAND.
- 00:13:16.111 --> 00:13:18.847
- THAT'S THIS. HE SEES--
- 00:13:18.847 --> 00:13:19.848
- - DOWN IN THE VALLEY OVER THERE.
- 00:13:19.848 --> 00:13:20.949
- - DOWN IN THE VALLEY OVER HERE.
- 00:13:20.949 --> 00:13:22.150
- HE'S LOOKING UP AT THESE MASSIVE CLIFFS AND THERE
- 00:13:22.150 --> 00:13:24.953
- ARE WALLS AT THE TOP.
- 00:13:24.953 --> 00:13:26.655
- HE SAYS TO HIS MEN, WHOEVER IS BRAVE ENOUGH
- 00:13:26.655 --> 00:13:28.323
- TO INFILTRATE THE WATER SYSTEM, CLIMB UP THE
- 00:13:28.323 --> 00:13:30.726
- TUNNEL BEHIND ENEMY LINES, OPEN UP THE GATES
- 00:13:30.726 --> 00:13:32.494
- FOR ME, HE'S GONNA BE THE HEAD OF MY ARMY.
- 00:13:32.494 --> 00:13:35.063
- - AND THAT'S WHAT THEY DO. - AND THAT'S WHAT THEY DO.
- 00:13:35.063 --> 00:13:36.565
- [SPEAKING HEBREW]
- 00:13:36.565 --> 00:13:37.966
- JOAB CLIMBS UP, CITY FALLS, JERUSALEM'S BORN,
- 00:13:37.966 --> 00:13:40.836
- AND 3.000 YEARS LATER, WE FIND IT IN THE SAME WAY.
- 00:13:40.836 --> 00:13:47.743
- WHY IS DAVID TODAY THIS HUGE FIGURE?
- 00:13:48.577 --> 00:13:51.480
- I MEAN, WE SEE HIS SIN, RIGHT?
- 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:53.448
- DAVID SINS WITH BATHSHEBA, AND RIGHT AWAY
- 00:13:53.448 --> 00:13:57.052
- HE JUDGES HIMSELF WITH A VERY SEVERE AND
- 00:13:57.052 --> 00:14:00.088
- HARSH PUNISHMENT WHICH HE PAYS FOR.
- 00:14:00.088 --> 00:14:01.957
- HE DOESN'T RUN AWAY FROM IT.
- 00:14:01.957 --> 00:14:03.725
- IT'S LIKE DAVID HAS THIS BALANCE.
- 00:14:03.725 --> 00:14:05.627
- LIKE HE'S VERY VERY SYSTEMATICALLY DOING
- 00:14:05.627 --> 00:14:07.663
- WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
- 00:14:07.663 --> 00:14:08.964
- IF THAT MEANS GOLIATH; AFTER THAT, REIGNING OVER
- 00:14:08.964 --> 00:14:11.600
- THE PEOPLE IN JUDEA; AFTER THAT, JERUSALEM
- 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.235
- NEEDS TO BE A CITY; AFTER THAT, I HAVE TO BUILD MY
- 00:14:13.235 --> 00:14:15.070
- HOUSE; AFTER THAT, I HAVE TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE.
- 00:14:15.070 --> 00:14:16.972
- IT'S LIKE MISSION AFTER MISSION HE'S VERY GOAL
- 00:14:16.972 --> 00:14:18.907
- ORIENTED. AND THEN ONE SECOND IN THE BIBLE WE SEE
- 00:14:18.907 --> 00:14:22.411
- THAT HE STOPS AND THAT'S WHEN HE SINNED.
- 00:14:22.411 --> 00:14:25.147
- IT'S LIKE HIS EYES ARE FOR A SECOND NOT ON THE
- 00:14:25.147 --> 00:14:27.482
- MARK OF WHERE HE WANTS TO BE GOING AND HE FAILS.
- 00:14:27.482 --> 00:14:30.385
- AND I THINK THAT'S SO RELEVANT, LIKE, WHEN
- 00:14:30.385 --> 00:14:32.020
- WE'RE NOT IN OUR SPACE, THEN WE SUDDENLY, WE GET
- 00:14:32.020 --> 00:14:35.290
- CONFUSED, WE MESS UP, AND THAT SIN HE PAYS FOR IT
- 00:14:35.290 --> 00:14:38.493
- THROUGHOUT THE END OF HIS DAYS.
- 00:14:38.493 --> 00:14:40.128
- HE BURIES FOUR OF HIS SONS, HE'S CHASED OUT OF
- 00:14:40.128 --> 00:14:42.464
- THE CITY BY ABSALOM.
- 00:14:42.464 --> 00:14:43.865
- HE CREATES THIS IDEA OF HOW TO PROPERLY DO REPENTANCE.
- 00:14:43.865 --> 00:14:46.935
- IT'S INTERESTING IN THE BIBLE WE HAVE THIS KIND
- 00:14:46.935 --> 00:14:49.204
- OF DUALITY BETWEEN THE FARMER AND THE SHEPHERD.
- 00:14:49.204 --> 00:14:53.942
- THE VERY EXTERNAL, THE ONE WHO WORKS THE LAND,
- 00:14:53.942 --> 00:14:56.211
- AND THE ONE THAT'S KIND OF MORE SPIRITUAL WITH
- 00:14:56.211 --> 00:14:57.779
- THE SHEEP, YOU KNOW TALKING TO GOD.
- 00:14:57.779 --> 00:15:00.082
- AND DAVID REALLY KIND OF EMBODIES BOTH OF THOSE
- 00:15:00.082 --> 00:15:03.051
- SIDES WHERE HE HAS THE POET, AND THE SHEPHERD,
- 00:15:03.051 --> 00:15:06.254
- AND HE'S THE HUMILITY, AND HE'S ON A CLOUD WITH GOD.
- 00:15:06.254 --> 00:15:09.691
- BUT AT THE SAME TIME, HE'S A WARRIOR,
- 00:15:09.691 --> 00:15:12.327
- HE'S A POLITICIAN, A LEADER OF A NATION,
- 00:15:12.327 --> 00:15:14.930
- AND HE EMBODIES BOTH OF THEM.
- 00:15:14.930 --> 00:15:16.198
- AND I THINK THAT THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY
- 00:15:16.198 --> 00:15:18.066
- THEY SAY THAT THE MESSIAH IS SUPPOSED TO COME FROM
- 00:15:18.066 --> 00:15:19.701
- DAVID. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THIS BALANCE OF BOTH.
- 00:15:19.701 --> 00:15:22.404
- - ALTHOUGH HE WAS DEEPLY FLAWED, KING DAVID WAS
- 00:15:22.404 --> 00:15:24.606
- GRANTED THE RESPONSIBILITY OF RULING
- 00:15:24.606 --> 00:15:26.441
- OVER GOD'S PEOPLE BECAUSE HE SOUGHT AFTER
- 00:15:26.441 --> 00:15:29.077
- GOD'S HEART, AND BY JOURNEYING THROUGH THE
- 00:15:29.077 --> 00:15:31.179
- ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE HE LEFT BEHIND, WE'RE
- 00:15:31.179 --> 00:15:33.682
- ABLE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE AS GOD BREATHED
- 00:15:33.682 --> 00:15:36.418
- AN UNDENIABLY TRUTH THROUGHOUT THE AGES.
- 00:15:36.418 --> 00:15:39.454
- - HE WAS THE FIRST PERSON THAT UNITED AN
- 00:15:39.454 --> 00:15:41.356
- AREA THAT WAS CONTROLLED BY FOUR OR FIVE CANAANITE
- 00:15:41.356 --> 00:15:44.593
- CITY STATES AND NOW IT WAS CONTROLLED BY ONE
- 00:15:44.593 --> 00:15:46.628
- PERSON. HE CREATED THE FIRST NATIONAL STATE IN.
- 00:15:46.628 --> 00:15:50.298
- THIS IS THE GREATNESS OF DAVID.
- 00:15:50.298 --> 00:15:52.667
- - A FIGURE BEYOND TIME, WHETHER IT'S THE CITY
- 00:15:52.667 --> 00:15:54.569
- THAT HE LEFT US, WHICH IS ONE OF THE CENTERS OF THE
- 00:15:54.569 --> 00:15:57.272
- WORLD, WHETHER IT'S THE WRITINGS THAT HE LEFT,
- 00:15:57.272 --> 00:15:59.875
- AND MAYBE EVEN THE IDEA OF WHAT MAN CAN ATTAIN.
- 00:15:59.875 --> 00:16:04.646
- - WITH THE HELP OF GOD. - HELP OF GOD.
- 00:16:04.646 --> 00:16:06.615
- - YEAH.
- 00:16:06.615 --> 00:16:12.001
- - YEAH.
- 00:16:12.001 --> 00:16:12.618
- [MUSIC]
- 00:16:12.951 --> 00:16:18.424
- - TODAY, WE HAVE THE GREAT HONOR TO HAVE
- 00:16:18.424 --> 00:16:19.758
- WITH US DR. SETH POSTELL.
- 00:16:19.758 --> 00:16:21.660
- DR. SETH POSTELL, BESIDE BEING A FRIEND, HE'S ALSO
- 00:16:21.660 --> 00:16:24.163
- THE DEAN OF THE ISRAEL COLLEGE OF THE BIBLE.
- 00:16:24.163 --> 00:16:26.999
- SETH, THE PARALLEL BETWEEN YESHUA, THE MESSIAH, AND
- 00:16:26.999 --> 00:16:30.035
- DAVID. WHY AT ALL RABBINIC JUDAISM MAKES A PARALLEL
- 00:16:30.035 --> 00:16:34.706
- BETWEEN DAVID AND THE MESSIAH.
- 00:16:34.706 --> 00:16:36.208
- - IT'S REALLY INTERESTING, THE BOOK OF
- 00:16:36.208 --> 00:16:37.709
- PSALMS IS REGARDED AS PROPHETIC, WHEN YOU LOOK
- 00:16:37.709 --> 00:16:41.513
- AT, IN 1 CHRONICLES CHAPTER 25, IT ACTUALLY
- 00:16:41.513 --> 00:16:44.983
- PRESENTS THE AUTHORS OF THESE INDIVIDUAL PSALMS
- 00:16:44.983 --> 00:16:49.488
- AS PROPHETS. IT CONNECTS PROPHECY WITH MUSIC.
- 00:16:49.488 --> 00:16:53.025
- 2 SAMUEL CHAPTER 23 VERSES ONE AND TWO, DAVID
- 00:16:53.025 --> 00:16:56.562
- SAYS THAT HE SPOKE THE PSALMS THROUGH THE SPIRIT
- 00:16:56.562 --> 00:16:59.731
- OF GOD. AND SO DAVID IS REGARDED AS A PROPHET.
- 00:16:59.731 --> 00:17:04.837
- HIS LIFE IS CLEARLY PARADIGMATIC.
- 00:17:04.837 --> 00:17:07.239
- HE BECOMES A PICTURE OF ISRAEL'S FUTURE
- 00:17:07.239 --> 00:17:10.109
- AND PERFECT KING.
- 00:17:10.109 --> 00:17:11.477
- - DAVID IS A SYMBOL OF A SHEPHERD, AND WE KNOW ONE
- 00:17:11.477 --> 00:17:14.113
- OF THE ROLES OF THE MESSIAH IS TO BE A SHEPHERD.
- 00:17:14.113 --> 00:17:16.982
- CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT, DAVID AS A SHEPHERD,
- 00:17:16.982 --> 00:17:18.951
- AS A KING.
- 00:17:18.951 --> 00:17:20.452
- - AGAIN, IT'S INTERESTING WHEN YOU
- 00:17:20.452 --> 00:17:22.154
- START TO LOOK AT THESE MESSIANIC PARADIGMS IN
- 00:17:22.154 --> 00:17:23.722
- THE HEBREW BIBLE BECAUSE JOSEPH WAS A SHEPHERD.
- 00:17:23.722 --> 00:17:25.858
- - INTERESTING.
- 00:17:25.858 --> 00:17:27.226
- - NOT ONLY WAS JOSEPH A SHEPHERD BUT SO WAS MOSES.
- 00:17:27.226 --> 00:17:29.495
- - HMM.
- 00:17:29.495 --> 00:17:30.729
- - SHEPHERDS THAT ARE REJECTED AT FIRST BY
- 00:17:30.729 --> 00:17:32.798
- THEIR PEOPLE BUT EVENTUALLY ACCEPTED, AND
- 00:17:32.798 --> 00:17:35.134
- THEIR BROTHERS BOW DOWN, THEY BECOME RULERS.
- 00:17:35.134 --> 00:17:37.436
- AND SO I THINK THAT THE WHOLE NOTION OF THE
- 00:17:37.436 --> 00:17:39.938
- MESSIAH AS THE PERFECT SHEPHERD, THE LORD IS
- 00:17:39.938 --> 00:17:42.307
- MY SHEPHERD, THE GOOD SHEPHERD.
- 00:17:42.307 --> 00:17:44.176
- IN EZEKIEL CHAPTER 36, YOU HAVE TWO GOOD
- 00:17:44.176 --> 00:17:46.712
- SHEPHERDS THERE, RIGHT?
- 00:17:46.712 --> 00:17:48.647
- GOD HIMSELF IS THE GOOD SHEPHERD WHO RAISES UP
- 00:17:48.647 --> 00:17:52.651
- THE MESSIAH, WHO IS THE GOOD SHEPHERD.
- 00:17:52.651 --> 00:17:56.054
- AND SO YOU SEE THE WAY THAT JESUS IS SPEAKING
- 00:17:56.054 --> 00:17:57.956
- IN JOHN CHAPTER 10.
- 00:17:57.956 --> 00:17:59.992
- HE IS CLEARLY THE PERFECT DAVID WHO PROTECTS HIS
- 00:17:59.992 --> 00:18:03.395
- SHEEP. ZEALOUSLY GUARDS HIS SHEEP.
- 00:18:03.395 --> 00:18:05.697
- - BEAUTIFUL.
- 00:18:05.697 --> 00:18:06.798
- PEOPLE ARE WATCHING YOU FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
- 00:18:06.798 --> 00:18:09.034
- IF THERE IS ONE MESSAGE THAT YOU WANT PEOPLE
- 00:18:09.034 --> 00:18:10.736
- TO TAKE FROM THE LIFE OF DAVID,
- 00:18:10.736 --> 00:18:12.704
- WHAT WOULD BE THE MESSAGE?
- 00:18:12.704 --> 00:18:14.273
- - PSALM 51.
- 00:18:14.273 --> 00:18:15.974
- - GO AHEAD.
- 00:18:15.974 --> 00:18:17.109
- - DAVID CLEARLY DID FALL, AND WHEN YOU LOOK
- 00:18:17.109 --> 00:18:20.078
- AT HIS LIFE, AND I'M NOT ENCOURAGING BELIEVERS TO
- 00:18:20.078 --> 00:18:22.814
- FALL, BUT I FIND THAT PSALM 51 EXPRESSES THE
- 00:18:22.814 --> 00:18:26.185
- GOSPEL IN WAYS BEFORE THE CROSS THAT I THINK PUTS
- 00:18:26.185 --> 00:18:29.621
- MANY OF US TO SHAME.
- 00:18:29.621 --> 00:18:32.291
- DAVID HAD AN UNDERSTANDING OF GRACE
- 00:18:32.291 --> 00:18:35.060
- THAT FAR ECLIPSES SO MANY OF US.
- 00:18:35.060 --> 00:18:38.830
- YOU THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT NOT ONLY DID DAVID
- 00:18:38.830 --> 00:18:41.300
- IN PSALM 51 ASK FOR FORGIVENESS, HE'S EVEN
- 00:18:41.300 --> 00:18:44.503
- BOLD ENOUGH TO PRAY THAT GOD RESTORE THE JOY OF
- 00:18:44.503 --> 00:18:46.905
- HIS SALVATION SO THAT HE WOULD BECOME AN EXAMPLE
- 00:18:46.905 --> 00:18:49.808
- TO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL.
- 00:18:49.808 --> 00:18:51.543
- DAVID REALLY UNDERSTOOD THE POWER OF GRACE.
- 00:18:51.543 --> 00:18:55.247
- - GRACE AND FORGIVENESS.
- 00:18:55.247 --> 00:18:57.049
- - YEAH.
- 00:18:57.049 --> 00:18:58.083
- - AMEN.
- 00:18:58.083 --> 00:18:59.184
- THANK YOU VERY MUCH SETH.
- 00:18:59.184 --> 00:19:00.719
- - YOU'RE WELCOME.
- 00:19:00.719 --> 00:19:02.354
- - AND TO OUR FRIENDS, REMEMBER GOD IS FAITHFUL.
- 00:19:02.354 --> 00:19:04.823
- AND ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU AND SHALOM FROM JERUSALEM.

- [SINGING...]
- 00:19:19.568 --> 00:19:31.614
- - KING DAVID WROTE ARGUABLY THE MOST FAMOUS
- 00:19:31.614 --> 00:19:33.549
- POETIC MUSIC IN THE WORLD, THE PSALMS, WHICH
- 00:19:33.549 --> 00:19:36.051
- HAVE INSPIRED PEOPLE TO CONNECT DEEPLY WITH GOD
- 00:19:36.051 --> 00:19:38.287
- FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
- 00:19:38.287 --> 00:19:40.222
- - YERON. - HEY.
- 00:19:40.222 --> 00:19:41.590
- - GOOD TO SEE YOU, MAN. - GOOD TO SEE YOU.
- 00:19:41.590 --> 00:19:43.025
- - I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF MEETING ISRAELI BELIEVER,
- 00:19:43.025 --> 00:19:45.327
- WORSHIP ARTIST AND PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN,
- 00:19:45.327 --> 00:19:47.529
- YERON CHERNIAK TO TALK ABOUT DAVID'S INFLUENCE
- 00:19:47.529 --> 00:19:50.065
- ON HOW BELIEVERS RELATE TO GOD THROUGH MUSIC.
- 00:19:50.065 --> 00:19:52.901
- - LOVELY VIEW FROM THIS PLACE.
- 00:19:52.901 --> 00:19:54.403
- - PROBABLY INSPIRED DAVID AS HE WAS HERE.
- 00:19:54.403 --> 00:19:58.107
- - WE MET IN A VERY SPECIAL LOCATION, THE
- 00:19:59.108 --> 00:20:01.176
- CAVE OF ADDULAM WHERE DAVID FLED FROM SAUL
- 00:20:01.176 --> 00:20:04.046
- BEFORE BECOMING KING.
- 00:20:04.046 --> 00:20:05.881
- IT IS ALSO BELIEVED TO BE WHERE HE WROTE AT LEAST
- 00:20:05.881 --> 00:20:07.716
- SOME OF HIS PSALMS.
- 00:20:07.716 --> 00:20:09.118
- - WHAT AN AMAZING PLACE.
- 00:20:09.118 --> 00:20:11.086
- - YOU CAN SENSE THE HISTORY AND THE TIME IN IT.
- 00:20:11.086 --> 00:20:14.723
- [MUSIC]
- 00:20:14.723 --> 00:20:16.492
- - WHEN DAVID FLED FROM KING SAUL, HE GATHERED
- 00:20:16.492 --> 00:20:20.696
- HERE TOGETHER WITH 400 PEOPLE.
- 00:20:20.696 --> 00:20:23.532
- HE ALSO LEAVE POETIC TEXT, PSALM 57, WHERE HE
- 00:20:23.532 --> 00:20:28.671
- DESCRIBED EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED HERE IN THE CAVE.
- 00:20:28.671 --> 00:20:31.740
- - HAVE MERCY ON ME, OH, GOD.
- 00:20:31.740 --> 00:20:33.575
- HAVE MERCY ON ME FOR IN YOU MY SOUL TAKES REFUGE.
- 00:20:33.575 --> 00:20:36.111
- I WILL TAKE REFUGE IN THE SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS
- 00:20:36.111 --> 00:20:38.414
- UNTIL THE DISASTER HAS PASSED.
- 00:20:38.414 --> 00:20:40.382
- - HE'S REFORMING AND REDESIGNING THE LOGICAL
- 00:20:40.382 --> 00:20:43.619
- IDEAS WHILE HE IS ON THE MOVE,
- 00:20:43.619 --> 00:20:45.988
- ON THE RUN BASICALLY.
- 00:20:45.988 --> 00:20:52.027
- - I'M COMING FROM A SECULAR JEWISH SECULAR FAMILY.
- 00:20:53.128 --> 00:20:56.732
- I STARTED PLAYING THE DRUMS WHEN I WAS 15 YEARS
- 00:20:56.732 --> 00:20:59.435
- OLD, BUT WHEN I GOT TO AGE 17, 18, I GOT INTO
- 00:20:59.435 --> 00:21:03.772
- LIKE ETHNIC MUSIC AND IT REALLY FASCINATED ME.
- 00:21:03.772 --> 00:21:06.141
- THERE ARE SO MANY SOUNDS, SO MANY MUSIC CULTURES
- 00:21:06.141 --> 00:21:09.244
- AROUND THE WORLD, AND WHY TO STICK ONLY TO THE
- 00:21:09.244 --> 00:21:11.914
- WESTERN MUSIC, ONLY PLAYING THE DRUMS AND
- 00:21:11.914 --> 00:21:14.650
- GUITAR LIKE EVERYONE? NO.
- 00:21:14.650 --> 00:21:16.385
- SO WHAT FASCINATES ME THE MOST ABOUT DAVID IS THAT
- 00:21:16.385 --> 00:21:18.887
- HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO SING WHEN I JUST CAME TO FAITH.
- 00:21:18.887 --> 00:21:22.091
- AND WHEN I WAS JUST 17, NATURALLY I TOOK MY
- 00:21:22.091 --> 00:21:25.794
- BIBLE, WENT TO THE HILLS NEARBY MY HOUSE
- 00:21:25.794 --> 00:21:28.831
- AND I WAS SINGING PSALMS.
- 00:21:28.831 --> 00:21:31.533
- THIS VERY PERSONAL ACT OF DAVID TO PUT DOWN HIS
- 00:21:31.533 --> 00:21:36.238
- PERSONAL FEELINGS THROUGH THE PRISM OF SOUND AND
- 00:21:36.238 --> 00:21:39.174
- POETIC TEXT TAUGHT ME HOW TO EXPRESS MYSELF,
- 00:21:39.174 --> 00:21:43.345
- MY FEELINGS TOWARDS GOD.
- 00:21:43.345 --> 00:21:45.681
- HE'S NOT SHY ABOUT IT.
- 00:21:45.681 --> 00:21:47.082
- HE'S SINGING IT TO GOD.
- 00:21:47.082 --> 00:21:48.550
- IT ALWAYS STRESSES THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD AS A
- 00:21:48.550 --> 00:21:51.353
- LOVING FATHER, AS SOMEONE THAT GIVE YOU SHELTER AND
- 00:21:51.353 --> 00:21:54.723
- SAVE YOU FROM YOUR TROUBLES.
- 00:21:54.723 --> 00:21:57.326
- SO I STARTED PLAYING THE PERSIAN TAR WHEN I WAS 20.
- 00:21:57.326 --> 00:22:01.263
- I WENT TO SPAIN TO STUDY FROM A GREAT MASTER FROM
- 00:22:01.263 --> 00:22:04.133
- IRAN. HE ACTUALLY FLED IRAN IN 2009, AND I
- 00:22:04.133 --> 00:22:07.669
- STUDIED CLASSICAL PERSIAN MUSIC FOR A YEAR.
- 00:22:07.669 --> 00:22:10.172
- THE GOAL IN THAT IS REALLY TO REVIVE ETHNIC
- 00:22:10.172 --> 00:22:13.409
- AND TRADITIONAL MUSIC CULTURES.
- 00:22:13.409 --> 00:22:15.978
- SO I JUST FOUNDED AN ORGANIZATION CALLED MUWASHSHAH.
- 00:22:15.978 --> 00:22:18.981
- ACTUALLY, TO SUPPORT LOCAL POETS, LOCAL
- 00:22:18.981 --> 00:22:21.950
- MUSICIANS FROM THE UNDERGROUND CHURCH IN
- 00:22:21.950 --> 00:22:23.685
- IRAN, IN KURDISTAN, IN TURKEY, IN DIFFERENT
- 00:22:23.685 --> 00:22:26.722
- PLACES WHERE CHRISTIANS ARE ACTUALLY MINORITIES
- 00:22:26.722 --> 00:22:29.758
- AND BASICALLY TO USE ALL THE TRADITIONAL MUSIC
- 00:22:29.758 --> 00:22:33.162
- CULTURES FOR THE CHURCH, FOR WORSHIP PURPOSES.
- 00:22:33.162 --> 00:22:38.834
- FOR ME, IT WAS REALLY THAT DAVID UNDERSTOOD THE
- 00:22:39.868 --> 00:22:43.439
- POWER OF MUSIC, THE POWER OF MUSIC TO UNIFY BUT OF
- 00:22:43.439 --> 00:22:47.376
- COURSE IN MY PERSONAL TIME I CAN READ PSALM AND
- 00:22:47.376 --> 00:22:50.746
- SING IT ON MY OWN, BUT THINK ABOUT IT, PEOPLE
- 00:22:50.746 --> 00:22:53.816
- WHO CAME ALL THE WAY FROM DIFFERENT VILLAGES AND
- 00:22:53.816 --> 00:22:56.652
- CITIES TO JERUSALEM 3.000 YEARS AGO IS SAYING THE
- 00:22:56.652 --> 00:23:00.255
- SAME PSALMS TOGETHER SIMULTANEOUSLY.
- 00:23:00.255 --> 00:23:03.459
- EVERYONE IS BREATHING IN THE SAME TEMPO, IN THE
- 00:23:03.459 --> 00:23:06.228
- SAME TIME, SHOUTING IT, SINGING IT.
- 00:23:06.228 --> 00:23:09.064
- THEN WE TOOK IT FROM A PERSONAL PLACE AND MADE
