738 00:40:39,647 --> 00:40:40,982 Eric Metaxas 739 00:40:41,107 --> 00:40:42,775 is a scholar and commentator 740 00:40:42,900 --> 00:40:46,237 who has studied the topic of biblical archeology 741 00:40:46,362 --> 00:40:49,907 and written a book about it, "Is Atheism Dead?" 742 00:40:51,117 --> 00:40:52,910 Eric, for centuries, 743 00:40:53,035 --> 00:40:56,372 the Bible was seen by many people 744 00:40:56,497 --> 00:40:58,790 as something that you took on faith, 745 00:40:58,915 --> 00:41:00,542 but particularly for skeptics, 746 00:41:00,667 --> 00:41:02,168 the characters of the Bible 747 00:41:02,293 --> 00:41:05,755 were seen as mythic figures, 748 00:41:05,882 --> 00:41:08,467 maybe similar to the figures of Greek mythology. 749 00:41:08,592 --> 00:41:10,260 But it's only really since the Enlightenment 750 00:41:10,385 --> 00:41:12,888 that this idea has come into being that, 751 00:41:13,013 --> 00:41:16,517 oh, yeah, King David, he's a mythical king like King Arthur. 752 00:41:16,642 --> 00:41:20,687 In the last century and a half, that idea began to unravel. 753 00:41:20,812 --> 00:41:23,982 Just the archeological evidence for the Bible 754 00:41:24,107 --> 00:41:26,485 as a historical document 755 00:41:26,610 --> 00:41:29,153 has become genuinely overwhelming. 756 00:41:30,072 --> 00:41:32,533 There's example after example after example. 757 00:41:32,658 --> 00:41:34,827 It only moves in one direction. 758 00:41:34,952 --> 00:41:36,537 It never happens that somebody 759 00:41:36,662 --> 00:41:38,038 discovers something from archeology, 760 00:41:38,163 --> 00:41:39,665 we see that the Bible is wrong. 761 00:41:39,790 --> 00:41:40,707 Just the opposite. 762 00:41:43,460 --> 00:41:45,712 When you go back to the Old Testament, 763 00:41:45,837 --> 00:41:48,465 we're talking about 1,000, 764 00:41:48,590 --> 00:41:51,802 1,200 years before Christ. - Mm-hmm. 765 00:41:51,927 --> 00:41:53,303 One would expect that a lot of that 766 00:41:53,428 --> 00:41:55,222 has been lost in the mist of time. 767 00:41:55,347 --> 00:41:56,932 For example, the ancient enemies of Israel. 768 00:41:57,057 --> 00:41:58,892 - Right. - You have the Canaanites, 769 00:41:59,017 --> 00:42:00,643 the Hittites, the Moabites. - Yeah. Yeah. 770 00:42:00,768 --> 00:42:02,730 'Cause I mean, we've heard of the Assyrians. 771 00:42:02,855 --> 00:42:03,563 - Right. - We've heard 772 00:42:03,688 --> 00:42:04,398 of the Babylonians. - Yeah. 773 00:42:04,523 --> 00:42:06,025 But whoever heard of the Hittites? 774 00:42:06,150 --> 00:42:07,985 No one believed the Hittites existed. 775 00:42:08,110 --> 00:42:10,778 But then evidence came out, more and more and more, 776 00:42:10,905 --> 00:42:13,948 and over many decades, they pieced it all together, 777 00:42:14,073 --> 00:42:16,910 and they thought, "Oh, the Hittite Empire." 778 00:42:19,330 --> 00:42:20,080 Let's talk about some 779 00:42:20,205 --> 00:42:22,540 of the remarkable findings 780 00:42:22,667 --> 00:42:24,668 that validate the New Testament. 781 00:42:30,007 --> 00:42:34,262 Pontius Pilate is a figure who does not appear 782 00:42:34,387 --> 00:42:37,305 in any historical document, outside of the Bible. 783 00:42:37,430 --> 00:42:38,307 He was in the Bible- - Right. Right. 784 00:42:38,432 --> 00:42:39,267 But he was only 785 00:42:39,392 --> 00:42:40,100 in the Bible. - Right. 786 00:42:40,225 --> 00:42:43,312 And then people start digging in Caesarea, 787 00:42:43,437 --> 00:42:44,813 in northern Israel. 788 00:42:44,938 --> 00:42:46,857 Here, in 1961, 789 00:42:46,982 --> 00:42:49,067 archeologists discovered proof 790 00:42:49,192 --> 00:42:50,860 of Pilate's existence. 791 00:42:50,987 --> 00:42:54,698 You wouldn't really sort of think that at this spot, 792 00:42:54,823 --> 00:42:57,910 under this wooden stack, 793 00:42:58,035 --> 00:42:59,412 this inscription was found. 794 00:42:59,537 --> 00:43:02,873 A Latin inscription mentioning Pontius Pilate. 795 00:43:02,998 --> 00:43:05,875 But this was one of those pivotal moments 796 00:43:06,002 --> 00:43:08,337 which changes everything, because suddenly, 797 00:43:08,462 --> 00:43:11,965 Pontius Pilate comes out of this written inscription. 798 00:43:12,090 --> 00:43:15,010 It's not just this figure in the Gospels. 799 00:43:15,135 --> 00:43:18,763 Now, anybody who took the Bible seriously was not shocked. 800 00:43:18,888 --> 00:43:20,765 But a lot of people who don't take 801 00:43:20,890 --> 00:43:22,768 the Bible seriously, they were shocked. 802 00:43:22,893 --> 00:43:24,520 They were making a water park, 803 00:43:24,645 --> 00:43:26,688 so they're excavating, and then, oh, 804 00:43:26,813 --> 00:43:30,150 they come upon a bunch of these stone ossuaries. 805 00:43:30,275 --> 00:43:32,360 One of them was particularly ornate. 806 00:43:32,485 --> 00:43:35,072 And it was the tradition of the first century 807 00:43:35,197 --> 00:43:38,117 to put the bones of the deceased in an ossuary. 808 00:43:39,033 --> 00:43:40,285 And they look at it inside, 809 00:43:40,410 --> 00:43:43,413 they examine the bones of about a 60-year-old man, 810 00:43:43,538 --> 00:43:48,502 and the name on it, "Caiaphas," the high priest, 811 00:43:48,627 --> 00:43:52,088 dated exactly to the time Caiaphas would have lived. 812 00:43:52,213 --> 00:43:55,050 Caiaphas is in the New Testament, and now we have his bones, 813 00:43:55,175 --> 00:43:57,887 not just the ossuary, but the bones themselves. 814 00:43:58,012 --> 00:43:59,680 It doesn't end. 815 00:43:59,805 --> 00:44:00,638 Isn't it ironic- 816 00:44:00,763 --> 00:44:02,098 - Yeah. - That as the world 817 00:44:02,223 --> 00:44:02,933 has become- 818 00:44:03,058 --> 00:44:04,727 - Yeah. - More and more secular, 819 00:44:04,852 --> 00:44:06,645 do you think that it's not accidental 820 00:44:06,770 --> 00:44:08,355 that God has chosen now 821 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,648 to speak back through the stones? 822 00:44:10,773 --> 00:44:13,860 If we're approaching, you know the end of time, 823 00:44:13,985 --> 00:44:18,823 God will reveal himself more and more dramatically. 824 00:44:18,948 --> 00:44:20,908 The evidence has piled up to a point 825 00:44:21,035 --> 00:44:23,578 that I think the only way 826 00:44:23,703 --> 00:44:25,997 not to deal with it is to look away. 827 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:28,750 They discovered the home 828 00:44:28,875 --> 00:44:32,922 of Jesus, Mary and Joseph in Nazareth. 829 00:44:33,047 --> 00:44:34,632 Almost no one knows that. 830 00:44:34,757 --> 00:44:36,883 Practically, the greatest thing you could discover, 831 00:44:37,008 --> 00:44:40,303 the childhood home of Jesus! 832 00:44:40,428 --> 00:44:43,848 And then, because of the milieu in which you move 833 00:44:43,973 --> 00:44:46,518 as an archeologist, you say, "Well, this is embarrassing. 834 00:44:46,643 --> 00:44:50,355 Can I talk about it in a way that sort of buries the lead?" 835 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:51,857 And that is 836 00:44:51,982 --> 00:44:53,483 exactly what happened. 837 00:44:53,608 --> 00:44:56,278 The whole excavation really started in 1880 838 00:44:56,403 --> 00:44:58,697 when some French nuns said, we wanna go to Nazareth, 839 00:44:58,822 --> 00:45:00,782 the home of Jesus, and we wanna build a convent. 840 00:45:00,907 --> 00:45:02,827 They start digging to build a convent. 841 00:45:02,952 --> 00:45:04,953 They find this ancient cistern, 842 00:45:05,078 --> 00:45:07,288 and they realize, "Oh, there's something here." 843 00:45:07,413 --> 00:45:10,333 So this is the headline that some women 844 00:45:10,458 --> 00:45:11,543 were doing some archeology. 845 00:45:11,668 --> 00:45:14,128 Not that these women who were nuns, 846 00:45:14,253 --> 00:45:17,298 who gave their whole lives over to serving Jesus, 847 00:45:17,423 --> 00:45:19,258 had discovered the home of Jesus. 848 00:45:19,383 --> 00:45:21,303 But it was about the fact that they were women. 849 00:45:21,428 --> 00:45:23,263 Those are the times in which we live. 850 00:45:25,682 --> 00:45:27,475 Biblical history is based on the idea 851 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:28,893 that history has a plot. 852 00:45:29,018 --> 00:45:29,853 Right. 853 00:45:29,978 --> 00:45:31,772 There's a beginning, there's a middle, 854 00:45:31,897 --> 00:45:33,190 and there's an end. - Right. 855 00:45:33,315 --> 00:45:34,983 One of the things that Cahn says 856 00:45:35,108 --> 00:45:38,903 is that as the plot reaches its climax, 857 00:45:39,028 --> 00:45:40,780 God and the devil 858 00:45:40,905 --> 00:45:45,243 would begin to make themselves more manifest. 859 00:45:45,368 --> 00:45:47,370 It makes sense that 860 00:45:47,495 --> 00:45:50,915 evil would become more palpably, explicitly evil. 861 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:52,793 We're seeing that now. 862 00:45:52,918 --> 00:45:55,420 If evidence is piling up more and more 863 00:45:55,545 --> 00:45:59,340 for the existence of God, for the historicity of the Bible, 864 00:45:59,467 --> 00:46:01,385 if you are adamantly against it, 865 00:46:01,510 --> 00:46:05,555 you have to rail against it more loudly or violently. 866 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,727 That's part of what I think this grand narrative is, 867 00:46:09,852 --> 00:46:12,813 which is the exposure of evil. 868 00:46:12,938 --> 00:46:14,523 People have nowhere to hide, 869 00:46:14,648 --> 00:46:16,317 and so the masks are coming off. 870 00:46:17,317 --> 00:46:18,527 I wanted to see 871 00:46:18,652 --> 00:46:22,447 these discoveries of biblical archeology firsthand. 872 00:46:22,572 --> 00:46:25,700 I started in the place where Israel itself started, 873 00:46:25,825 --> 00:46:29,497 Shiloh, in the region of Judea and Samaria. 874 00:46:29,622 --> 00:46:31,748 Some call it the West Bank. 875 00:46:31,873 --> 00:46:34,375 It's where the ancient Israelites came 876 00:46:34,502 --> 00:46:36,545 when they entered the Promised Land. 877 00:46:37,420 --> 00:46:40,340 Eliana Passentin is the International Director 878 00:46:40,465 --> 00:46:44,177 of the Regional Council for Judea and Samaria. 879 00:46:44,302 --> 00:46:47,305 And you live up at the top of the hill, 880 00:46:47,430 --> 00:46:51,058 and you can see from the river to the sea. 881 00:46:51,185 --> 00:46:52,227 I wake up in the morning, 882 00:46:52,352 --> 00:46:55,730 first thing, and I can see Jordan, so that's the river. 883 00:46:55,855 --> 00:46:57,648 And then the afternoon, when the sun is setting, 884 00:46:57,773 --> 00:46:59,735 I have a beautiful view of the Mediterranean. 885 00:46:59,860 --> 00:47:02,905 From the river to the sea is the entire state of Israel. 886 00:47:03,030 --> 00:47:07,283 Shiloh is Israel's first capital city before Jerusalem. 887 00:47:07,408 --> 00:47:10,078 So the ancient Israelites 888 00:47:10,203 --> 00:47:11,788 crossed the desert, 889 00:47:11,913 --> 00:47:13,748 and they came to the Promised Land, 890 00:47:13,873 --> 00:47:14,958 but they didn't go to Jerusalem. 891 00:47:15,083 --> 00:47:17,460 Joshua brings the children of Israel to Shiloh, 892 00:47:17,585 --> 00:47:19,547 establishes the first capital city, 893 00:47:19,672 --> 00:47:23,925 and this is where the tabernacle stands for 369 years. 894 00:47:24,050 --> 00:47:26,887 And we found ancient remnants of pottery everywhere, 895 00:47:27,012 --> 00:47:30,598 even in our backyard, from the time of the tabernacle. 896 00:47:30,723 --> 00:47:33,893 Eliana, what brings Shiloh to an end? 897 00:47:34,018 --> 00:47:35,728 We read the Book of Samuel, 898 00:47:35,853 --> 00:47:38,190 that Eli, the high priest, is here waiting. 899 00:47:38,315 --> 00:47:39,065 The children of Israel 900 00:47:39,190 --> 00:47:40,650 go to the battlefield, 901 00:47:40,775 --> 00:47:42,527 and they fight the Philistines. 902 00:47:42,652 --> 00:47:45,322 The messenger comes running from the battlefield, 903 00:47:45,447 --> 00:47:47,490 and he gives the bad news, 904 00:47:47,615 --> 00:47:51,328 that we lost the battle, his sons were killed, 905 00:47:51,453 --> 00:47:54,915 and the enemy took the Golden Holy Ark of the Covenant. 906 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,042 Eli hears this terrible news, 907 00:47:57,167 --> 00:47:59,502 falls down, breaks his neck, and dies. 908 00:47:59,628 --> 00:48:02,047 We uncover that there was a huge fire here 909 00:48:02,172 --> 00:48:03,715 exactly at that time. 910 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,718 We even have raisins that were burnt to a crisp 911 00:48:06,843 --> 00:48:08,928 in this pyre. 912 00:48:09,053 --> 00:48:11,807 It's one of the sites in Israel that the story of the Bible 913 00:48:11,932 --> 00:48:14,810 and the archeological finds are hand in hand. 914 00:48:14,935 --> 00:48:17,562 And I'm sure, Dinesh, that you can feel what I feel. 915 00:48:17,687 --> 00:48:18,855 It's a special feeling. 916 00:48:18,980 --> 00:48:21,900 And it's the feeling, really, of a massive convergence 917 00:48:22,025 --> 00:48:24,695 of a biblical truth, 918 00:48:24,820 --> 00:48:28,532 now supported and confirmed by archeological discovery. 919 00:48:28,657 --> 00:48:29,573 That's right. 920 00:48:29,700 --> 00:48:33,078 You mentioned that the highway right there, Highway 60, 921 00:48:33,203 --> 00:48:34,872 is the Highway of the Patriarchs. 922 00:48:34,997 --> 00:48:36,080 What do you mean by that? 923 00:48:36,205 --> 00:48:38,875 There's one artery of life in ancient times. 924 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,295 I'm gonna read this in Hebrew, and then I'll translate. 925 00:48:47,133 --> 00:48:48,510 "And there was the festival of the Lord 926 00:48:48,635 --> 00:48:51,763 from year to year in Shiloh, which is north of Bethel, 927 00:48:51,888 --> 00:48:54,725 east of the highway that goes from Bethel to Shechem 928 00:48:54,850 --> 00:48:56,225 on the south of Lebonah." 929 00:48:56,352 --> 00:48:59,270 Right here, in Hebrew, it says highway, 930 00:48:59,395 --> 00:49:02,190 and it's the main artery of life in ancient times, 931 00:49:02,315 --> 00:49:04,567 and it's the main artery of life today. 932 00:49:04,693 --> 00:49:06,653 And this is the land, you're saying, 933 00:49:06,778 --> 00:49:09,405 that Abraham and Joseph walked. 934 00:49:09,530 --> 00:49:12,325 And Jacob, right here. 935 00:49:12,450 --> 00:49:14,493 Shiloh invokes the very beginning 936 00:49:14,618 --> 00:49:16,663 of the story of Israel, but in some ways, 937 00:49:16,788 --> 00:49:20,000 it is also connected with the end times. 938 00:49:20,125 --> 00:49:23,295 Jonathan Cahn spoke of red heifers. 939 00:49:23,420 --> 00:49:26,798 We found the very same red heifers in Shiloh. 940 00:49:26,923 --> 00:49:28,300 Larry Borntrager 941 00:49:28,425 --> 00:49:32,720 is a ranch hand from America looking after the red heifers. 942 00:49:32,845 --> 00:49:34,807 Larry, in the Bible, 943 00:49:34,932 --> 00:49:38,852 it talks about the temple being built again 944 00:49:38,977 --> 00:49:40,687 in the end times. 945 00:49:40,812 --> 00:49:42,063 Yeah. 946 00:49:42,188 --> 00:49:45,692 And for the temple to be built again, 947 00:49:45,817 --> 00:49:48,237 there would need to be services 948 00:49:48,362 --> 00:49:51,113 or rites performed in the temple. 949 00:49:51,238 --> 00:49:53,908 They would need to have the waters of purification, 950 00:49:54,033 --> 00:49:55,410 which according to Numbers 19, 951 00:49:55,535 --> 00:49:57,620 would be the ashes of the red heifer 952 00:49:57,745 --> 00:50:00,498 mixed in with living water, sprinkled on the people. 953 00:50:00,623 --> 00:50:03,585 So this practice goes back to the time of Moses? 954 00:50:03,710 --> 00:50:04,502 Yes. 955 00:50:04,627 --> 00:50:06,087 30 years ago, a farmer thought, 956 00:50:06,212 --> 00:50:09,007 "Maybe someday Israel might need a red heifer." 957 00:50:09,132 --> 00:50:10,967 Some years ago, some of the rabbis 958 00:50:11,092 --> 00:50:12,635 were looking for a red heifer in Israel. 959 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,597 They couldn't find any, so they advertised outside. 960 00:50:15,722 --> 00:50:17,807 This farmer said yes, he thinks he has some. 961 00:50:17,932 --> 00:50:20,310 - Where was that? - In Texas. 962 00:50:20,435 --> 00:50:22,853 - How'd they get here? - They came over by plane. 963 00:50:22,978 --> 00:50:25,857 Sometimes when people talk about Bible prophecy, 964 00:50:25,982 --> 00:50:29,903 they speak in very general and abstract terms, 965 00:50:30,028 --> 00:50:31,613 but here you have 966 00:50:31,738 --> 00:50:35,158 a group of rabbis and Jews 967 00:50:35,283 --> 00:50:39,620 who are anticipating the reconstruction of a temple 968 00:50:39,747 --> 00:50:42,832 and are making actual preparations for doing rites 969 00:50:42,957 --> 00:50:44,542 and services in it. 970 00:50:44,667 --> 00:50:45,835 That's the whole idea. 971 00:50:46,837 --> 00:50:49,798 Shiloh is a place of ancient biblical significance, 972 00:50:49,923 --> 00:50:53,760 and so it seems to be not inappropriate- 973 00:50:53,885 --> 00:50:55,303 - Exactly. - That these heifers 974 00:50:55,428 --> 00:50:57,680 are back in Shiloh. 975 00:50:57,805 --> 00:50:59,933 Yes. 976 00:51:00,058 --> 00:51:01,768 I went to a site in Jerusalem 977 00:51:01,893 --> 00:51:04,353 that is home to perhaps the greatest discovery 978 00:51:04,478 --> 00:51:08,400 in biblical archeology in the 21st century. 979 00:51:08,525 --> 00:51:09,692 Welcome to the City of David. 980 00:51:09,818 --> 00:51:11,193 Thank you very much. It's exciting. 981 00:51:11,318 --> 00:51:13,863 - Let's take a look. - Right, let's take a look. 982 00:51:15,032 --> 00:51:16,198 It's a very active excavation. 983 00:51:16,323 --> 00:51:20,620 This is, as we speak, uncovering Jerusalem's history 984 00:51:20,745 --> 00:51:22,747 and heritage right before our eyes. 985 00:51:22,872 --> 00:51:26,417 Ze'ev Orenstein is the Director of International Affairs 986 00:51:26,543 --> 00:51:28,795 for the City of David Foundation. 987 00:51:41,223 --> 00:51:42,850 Wow, let's look at this. 988 00:51:42,975 --> 00:51:43,935 What period is this now? 989 00:51:44,060 --> 00:51:46,062 So this is the Hellenistic period. 990 00:51:46,187 --> 00:51:50,442 So, a little bit around the second temple was formed. 991 00:51:50,567 --> 00:51:51,777 It's difficult work. 992 00:51:52,777 --> 00:51:54,070 You have to be gentle, but also tough. 993 00:51:54,195 --> 00:51:54,988 Yeah. 994 00:51:57,198 --> 00:52:00,535 Now, David was the greatest 995 00:52:00,660 --> 00:52:04,580 of the kings of the Hebrew scriptures. 996 00:52:04,705 --> 00:52:07,917 How was his palace, how did you discover it? 997 00:52:08,042 --> 00:52:09,502 The year was 2005. 998 00:52:09,627 --> 00:52:12,505 Our visitor center is directly above our heads. 999 00:52:12,630 --> 00:52:14,007 All of this is underground. 1000 00:52:14,132 --> 00:52:18,052 One morning, Dr. Eilat Mazar, a world-renowned archeologist, 1001 00:52:18,178 --> 00:52:21,263 she comes into our offices and says to us, 1002 00:52:21,388 --> 00:52:23,392 "You need to move your visitor center. 1003 00:52:23,517 --> 00:52:28,188 Beneath your feet, you will find the palace of King David." 1004 00:52:28,313 --> 00:52:29,230 If you have a city on a hill, 1005 00:52:29,355 --> 00:52:31,817 what part of the hill would you expect to find a palace? 1006 00:52:31,942 --> 00:52:32,775 The top of the hill. 1007 00:52:32,900 --> 00:52:34,735 She says, "This is the top of the City of David, 1008 00:52:34,862 --> 00:52:35,987 this is where you'll find the palace." 1009 00:52:36,112 --> 00:52:38,240 I say, "Dr. Mazar, with all due respect, 1010 00:52:38,365 --> 00:52:40,658 what else do you have to support your theory?" 1011 00:52:40,783 --> 00:52:43,828 She shows us a royal Phoenician capital. 1012 00:52:43,953 --> 00:52:46,623 And she says that this royal Phoenician capital 1013 00:52:46,748 --> 00:52:48,208 found some 60 years ago, 1014 00:52:48,333 --> 00:52:50,793 on the slope that we're standing atop right now, 1015 00:52:50,918 --> 00:52:53,170 proves that where we're standing 1016 00:52:53,297 --> 00:52:56,298 is, in fact, the location of King David's palace. 1017 00:52:56,423 --> 00:53:00,637 And she opens up the Bible to 2 Samuel, chapter 5, 1018 00:53:00,762 --> 00:53:04,182 which recounts the story of how David conquers Jerusalem 1019 00:53:04,307 --> 00:53:05,225 and makes it his capital. 1020 00:53:05,350 --> 00:53:07,268 He reaches out to his neighbors in the north, 1021 00:53:07,393 --> 00:53:09,437 the Phoenicians, and it says, 1022 00:53:09,562 --> 00:53:13,525 "King Hiram of Tyre sent envoys to David with cedar logs, 1023 00:53:13,650 --> 00:53:15,568 carpenters and stonemasons, 1024 00:53:15,693 --> 00:53:18,238 and they built a palace for David." 1025 00:53:18,363 --> 00:53:19,948 Why do we find a royal Phoenician capital 1026 00:53:20,073 --> 00:53:21,700 here in the City of David?

1224 01:02:42,468 --> 01:02:43,887 This is where he taught. 1225 01:02:44,012 --> 01:02:46,472 But the synagogue we are standing in now 1226 01:02:47,432 --> 01:02:51,060 is from a later period, from 400 years later. 1227 01:02:51,185 --> 01:02:52,812 So this is Jesus 1228 01:02:52,937 --> 01:02:56,023 saying, "You, Capernaum, 1229 01:02:56,148 --> 01:02:58,317 will you be exalted to heaven? 1230 01:02:58,442 --> 01:03:01,987 You will be brought down to Hades." 1231 01:03:02,112 --> 01:03:04,948 Jesus is predicting that this place will go down 1232 01:03:05,073 --> 01:03:06,783 and will not come back up again. 1233 01:03:06,908 --> 01:03:07,618 Exactly. 1234 01:03:07,743 --> 01:03:11,413 Every verse, every sentence, every chapter 1235 01:03:11,538 --> 01:03:12,998 are there to be fulfilled. 1236 01:03:13,123 --> 01:03:16,627 And it took 600 years 1237 01:03:16,752 --> 01:03:18,922 'til this place was leveled out. 1238 01:03:19,047 --> 01:03:22,132 Ultimately, Jesus's prophecy came true. 1239 01:03:22,258 --> 01:03:24,010 There's nothing here in Capernaum now 1240 01:03:24,135 --> 01:03:26,220 except for the remnants. 1241 01:03:26,345 --> 01:03:27,095 Exactly. 1242 01:03:28,055 --> 01:03:28,973 And right next door to us 1243 01:03:29,098 --> 01:03:30,642 are the ruins of a dwelling. 1244 01:03:30,767 --> 01:03:34,062 The dwelling is sometimes described as Peter's house, 1245 01:03:34,187 --> 01:03:36,605 which is not exactly correct, whose house is it? 1246 01:03:36,730 --> 01:03:38,983 It's St. Peter's mother-in-law house. 1247 01:03:39,108 --> 01:03:43,487 In Mark it says, "And Jesus came to Capernaum 1248 01:03:43,612 --> 01:03:47,408 to St. Peter mother-in-law house, as she was sick. 1249 01:03:47,533 --> 01:03:50,537 She was in bed, and he healed her." 1250 01:03:55,165 --> 01:03:57,918 Biblical archeology is confirmation 1251 01:03:58,043 --> 01:04:01,297 of the ancient presence of the Jews in Israel. 1252 01:04:01,422 --> 01:04:03,423 Far from being colonizers, 1253 01:04:03,548 --> 01:04:07,220 the Jews are the original and indigenous inhabitants 1254 01:04:07,345 --> 01:04:08,595 of the region. 1255 01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:11,557 Moreover, the Jews of today are the descendants 1256 01:04:11,682 --> 01:04:15,143 of the ancient Israelites, the Jews of the Bible. 1257 01:04:16,312 --> 01:04:19,648 Today's Jews speak the same language, eat the same food, 1258 01:04:19,773 --> 01:04:21,733 perform the same rites and rituals, 1259 01:04:21,858 --> 01:04:23,610 and worship the same God. 1260 01:04:27,907 --> 01:04:30,868 Biblical archeology also shows that the Hebrew 1261 01:04:30,993 --> 01:04:33,745 and Christian scriptures are corroborated 1262 01:04:33,870 --> 01:04:35,998 in the seals and the stones. 1263 01:04:37,708 --> 01:04:41,253 As Ze'ev Orenstein said, "It's not simply a matter of faith, 1264 01:04:41,378 --> 01:04:43,923 it's also a matter of fact." 1265 01:04:46,675 --> 01:04:49,595 Jonathan Cahn's view of the Dragon's Prophecy 1266 01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:52,138 is supported by history. 1267 01:04:52,265 --> 01:04:55,810 But what are the moral and practical implications? 1268 01:04:56,810 --> 01:04:59,522 Israel has dropped 1269 01:04:59,647 --> 01:05:03,192 more bombs in the last 10 days 1270 01:05:03,317 --> 01:05:06,278 than we dropped in a whole year in Afghanistan! 1271 01:05:06,403 --> 01:05:09,073 There's clearly growing consensus in the council 1272 01:05:09,198 --> 01:05:11,825 that it must do more to hold Israel accountable. 1273 01:05:11,950 --> 01:05:14,245 They're shooting and killing civilians 1274 01:05:14,370 --> 01:05:16,330 at humanitarian aid hubs. 1275 01:05:16,455 --> 01:05:17,205 Dozens of them 1276 01:05:17,332 --> 01:05:19,042 on a daily basis. - Piers, are we gonna 1277 01:05:19,167 --> 01:05:21,210 put a sock in that? - Little children are getting- 1278 01:05:21,335 --> 01:05:22,378 - Yeah, you're right, Piers. - Shot in the face. 1279 01:05:22,503 --> 01:05:23,337 - Piers. - It is a good time- 1280 01:05:23,462 --> 01:05:24,630 - It's a genocide. - Piers, you are- 1281 01:05:24,755 --> 01:05:25,422 It's a genocide. 1282 01:05:25,547 --> 01:05:28,092 When regimes start wars, 1283 01:05:28,217 --> 01:05:31,553 they are responsible for the fate of their own children. 1284 01:05:31,678 --> 01:05:35,057 I mean, if I come and do a home invasion on you, 1285 01:05:35,182 --> 01:05:37,560 right, and threaten your children and you strike back, 1286 01:05:37,685 --> 01:05:41,105 and then I go grab my own kids and stick them in front of me 1287 01:05:41,230 --> 01:05:42,898 and say, "Don't shoot, don't shoot, 1288 01:05:43,023 --> 01:05:44,692 because I'm holding my own kids." 1289 01:05:44,817 --> 01:05:45,608 The truth of it is, 1290 01:05:45,735 --> 01:05:48,778 I am putting my kids in jeopardy, not you. 1291 01:05:49,072 --> 01:05:52,575 The controversial issue of civilian casualties 1292 01:05:52,700 --> 01:05:55,745 was addressed by Mosab Hassan Yousef, 1293 01:05:55,870 --> 01:05:59,332 who is the son of the one of the founders of Hamas. 1294 01:05:59,457 --> 01:06:02,460 His father has publicly called for his death. 1295 01:06:03,668 --> 01:06:07,172 Israel did everything within their ability to minimize 1296 01:06:07,297 --> 01:06:09,633 the civilian casualty in Gaza. 1297 01:06:09,758 --> 01:06:12,512 While Hamas, 1298 01:06:12,637 --> 01:06:15,973 while Hamas did everything in their ability 1299 01:06:16,098 --> 01:06:16,890 to maximize- - Order! Order! 1300 01:06:17,015 --> 01:06:18,933 - The civilian casualties. - Order. 1301 01:06:19,060 --> 01:06:19,852 The speaker will be heard. 1302 01:06:19,977 --> 01:06:22,438 Hamas did everything within their ability 1303 01:06:22,563 --> 01:06:25,315 to maximize the civilian casualty 1304 01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:28,527 for political and financial gain, for global sympathy, 1305 01:06:28,652 --> 01:06:31,988 and they succeeded of fooling so many people. 1306 01:06:32,990 --> 01:06:34,117 Hamas confesses 1307 01:06:34,242 --> 01:06:37,077 it's desire to hurt its own people. 1308 01:06:56,347 --> 01:06:58,515 If Israel wanted to get rid of Gaza, 1309 01:06:58,640 --> 01:06:59,892 it would, a long time ago. 1310 01:07:00,017 --> 01:07:02,812 Israel has the power to erase Gaza if it wants to. 1311 01:07:02,937 --> 01:07:04,147 It didn't do that 1312 01:07:04,272 --> 01:07:07,483 because we're trying to eliminate Hamas bases 1313 01:07:07,608 --> 01:07:11,153 without hurting as many people as we can. 1314 01:07:14,698 --> 01:07:18,993 They stole from me innocence, time, love. 1315 01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:21,122 There's a limit to what they can steal. 1316 01:07:21,247 --> 01:07:23,540 I think that I'm not allowed to stop, 1317 01:07:23,665 --> 01:07:27,293 because there's so many stories that we'll never hear. 1318 01:07:27,420 --> 01:07:28,837 And those people, 1319 01:07:28,962 --> 01:07:31,215 they actually knew what the value of life is. 1320 01:07:31,340 --> 01:07:32,800 They actually enjoyed life. 1321 01:07:32,925 --> 01:07:36,345 So I think it's like I owe them to keep dancing. 1322 01:07:36,470 --> 01:07:38,013 - All these people? - Yes. 1323 01:07:39,848 --> 01:07:42,893 There's no doubt that the civilian carnage 1324 01:07:43,018 --> 01:07:45,772 in Gaza remains a moral horror. 1325 01:07:45,897 --> 01:07:49,150 Even if Israel is justified in its actions, 1326 01:07:49,275 --> 01:07:52,778 who can justify the deaths of women and children? 1327 01:07:52,903 --> 01:07:55,990 For me, the civilian deaths on both sides 1328 01:07:56,115 --> 01:07:59,452 represent victories on the part of the dragon, 1329 01:07:59,577 --> 01:08:02,830 whose moral currency is death itself. 1330 01:08:04,123 --> 01:08:06,792 In her 1972 book, "My Life," 1331 01:08:06,917 --> 01:08:09,878 Israeli prime minister Golda Meir said, 1332 01:08:10,003 --> 01:08:13,965 "We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children, 1333 01:08:14,090 --> 01:08:16,968 but we can never forgive them for forcing us 1334 01:08:17,093 --> 01:08:19,763 to kill their children." 1335 01:08:19,888 --> 01:08:23,808 This captures the moral ambiguity of retaliation, 1336 01:08:23,933 --> 01:08:26,103 and what compounds the tragedy 1337 01:08:26,228 --> 01:08:29,273 is that it offers no immediate solution. 1338 01:08:30,482 --> 01:08:34,487 But is there a wider solution to the conflict itself? 1339 01:08:34,612 --> 01:08:36,322 For the Israeli perspective, 1340 01:08:36,447 --> 01:08:39,492 I turned to the Prime Minister of Israel. 1341 01:08:39,617 --> 01:08:41,327 Prime Minister Netanyahu, 1342 01:08:41,452 --> 01:08:46,040 let me begin by asking you about October 7th. 1343 01:08:46,165 --> 01:08:48,917 Well, I heard about it at 6:29, 1344 01:08:49,042 --> 01:08:51,337 which was more or less the moment 1345 01:08:51,462 --> 01:08:53,547 that the attack had crossed our lines. 1346 01:08:53,672 --> 01:08:55,382 I was in my home. 1347 01:08:55,507 --> 01:08:58,218 Got dressed, went to our military headquarters in Tel Aviv 1348 01:08:58,343 --> 01:09:01,847 and said, "This is not another round with Hamas terrorists. 1349 01:09:01,972 --> 01:09:02,848 This is a war." 1350 01:09:02,973 --> 01:09:05,683 I realized it wasn't only a war against Hamas, 1351 01:09:05,808 --> 01:09:08,562 it's a war against the Iran axis. 1352 01:09:08,687 --> 01:09:10,940 And we will have to take it on. 1353 01:09:11,065 --> 01:09:12,273 And I said and promised 1354 01:09:12,398 --> 01:09:14,610 that we would change the Middle East, 1355 01:09:14,735 --> 01:09:19,072 ridding it of the Iran's axis, ridding it of Iran's proxies, 1356 01:09:19,198 --> 01:09:22,200 but also ridding it of Iran's threat to annihilate Israel 1357 01:09:22,325 --> 01:09:24,453 and threaten the West with nuclear weapons. 1358 01:09:24,578 --> 01:09:27,957 It seems that you recognized immediately that it posed 1359 01:09:28,082 --> 01:09:30,833 some serious problems for the idea 1360 01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:33,170 of the two-state solution. 1361 01:09:33,295 --> 01:09:36,048 Hamas had a state, a de facto state, 1362 01:09:36,173 --> 01:09:37,800 and used it not to promote peace, 1363 01:09:37,925 --> 01:09:39,468 but to try to annihilate Israel. 1364 01:09:39,593 --> 01:09:41,678 They pay terrorists for murdering Jews. 1365 01:09:41,803 --> 01:09:44,055 The more Jews they murder, the more they get paid. 1366 01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,475 The idea that we should give the Palestinians 1367 01:09:47,602 --> 01:09:49,228 who seek our destruction 1368 01:09:49,353 --> 01:09:53,398 a base for which to execute our destruction was a folly. 1369 01:09:53,523 --> 01:09:54,775 A lot of leaders in the West 1370 01:09:54,900 --> 01:09:57,570 still cling to this absurd notion 1371 01:09:57,695 --> 01:10:01,115 that this conflict between us and the Palestinians 1372 01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:04,200 is about the absence of a Palestinian state. 1373 01:10:04,327 --> 01:10:05,160 It never was. 1374 01:10:05,285 --> 01:10:09,332 The goal was never to create a Palestinian state for peace, 1375 01:10:09,457 --> 01:10:12,877 but to destroy and annihilate the one and only Jewish state. 1376 01:10:13,002 --> 01:10:14,962 The critics will say 1377 01:10:15,087 --> 01:10:19,592 that Israel has killed far more civilians 1378 01:10:19,717 --> 01:10:22,385 in retaliation for October 7th 1379 01:10:22,510 --> 01:10:25,722 than were killed on October 7th. 1380 01:10:25,847 --> 01:10:30,018 Well, I think you killed a lot more Germans 1381 01:10:31,062 --> 01:10:33,730 than Americans were killed in World War II. 1382 01:10:33,855 --> 01:10:35,065 That's an understatement. 1383 01:10:35,190 --> 01:10:36,358 And the same is true of Japan. 1384 01:10:36,483 --> 01:10:39,737 Japan attacked you in a surprise attack, in Pearl Harbor. 1385 01:10:39,862 --> 01:10:41,988 They killed, I don't know, a few thousand Americans. 1386 01:10:42,113 --> 01:10:45,200 I'd like to raise with you this amazing accusation 1387 01:10:45,325 --> 01:10:47,243 that Israel is somehow 1388 01:10:47,368 --> 01:10:50,413 a colonial power. 1389 01:10:50,538 --> 01:10:53,667 This has been our land for 3,500 years 1390 01:10:53,792 --> 01:10:54,918 since Abraham came here. 1391 01:10:55,043 --> 01:10:57,545 And it was populated by the Jewish people, 1392 01:10:57,672 --> 01:10:58,963 by the people of the Bible. 1393 01:10:59,088 --> 01:11:00,298 That's when the Bible was written. 1394 01:11:00,423 --> 01:11:01,967 It wasn't written in Tibet. 1395 01:11:02,092 --> 01:11:04,720 It was written here by people that lived here. 1396 01:11:04,845 --> 01:11:06,513 Our identity was forged there, 1397 01:11:06,638 --> 01:11:08,723 our faith, and our very being. 1398 01:11:08,848 --> 01:11:11,060 We were often conquered by the Babylonians, 1399 01:11:11,185 --> 01:11:14,480 the Seleucid Greeks, the Romans, and then by the Byzantines, 1400 01:11:14,605 --> 01:11:15,772 and finally by the Arabs. 1401 01:11:15,897 --> 01:11:19,025 It's not we who colonized the area from the Arabs, 1402 01:11:19,150 --> 01:11:21,820 it's the Arabs who colonized the area from the Jews. 1403 01:11:21,945 --> 01:11:24,238 Other travelers, Brits, Americans, French, 1404 01:11:24,365 --> 01:11:27,283 came here in the 19th century, and they said, basically, 1405 01:11:27,408 --> 01:11:29,578 when will the Jews come back 1406 01:11:29,703 --> 01:11:31,455 and bring this

never said, "You have to go out." 1410 01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:37,795 We welcomed them. 1411 01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,255 But now what they're saying is, "This is not your land. 1412 01:11:40,380 --> 01:11:42,423 It was never your land." 1413 01:11:42,548 --> 01:11:43,467 We came back to a land 1414 01:11:43,592 --> 01:11:45,635 that was largely barren and empty 1415 01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:49,013
