welcome ladies and gentlemen boys and
girls of all ages my name is gabrielle
friedman aka ravvgav
signing in from you shall i meerkotish
the holy city of jerusalem welcome to
the discovery
seminar the discovery seminar is a world
famous seminar that's been going on for
quite some time now
and what is the objective the aim the
goal is to try to show that this holy
book called the bible the torah
that it actually came from god so i'm
gonna let you guys be the judge of that
as you'll see
as we go on so let's just jump right in
there are many classes in the discovery
seminar
i'm gonna be sharing one with you which
is known as uh
the seven wonders of jewish history
okay so let us begin you know there was
a conversation which happened quite some
time ago
between two people one by the name of
blaise pascal and the other by king
louis xiv
this is in the 17th century the 1600s
and king louis was what's known as
agnostic
i don't know maybe there's a god maybe
there isn't a god please pascal though
you may know him from pascal's theorem
if you know mathematics
it was a famous mathematician or
pascal's wager from philosophy
he was a christian mathematician and
philosopher very much
believed in a god and he was the advisor
of king louie and he was done with his
conversations i didn't know there's a
god this is how you know how do you know
this is how i don't know if this is out
to one day's like enough
pascal i want you to give me clear
evidence of a supernatural force
so he says you want clear evidence of a
supernatural force
the jews your majesty the jews
what a christian philosopher for
speaking to an agnostic king telling us
that you want to know clear evidence
that would be the jews
what is supernatural about us so how
about let's take a look
at our friend marky mark twain and he
says the following idea mark twain
states the egyptian the babylonian and
the persian rose filled the planet with
sound and splendor then faded to dream
stuff and passed away
the greek and the roman following they
made a vast noise and they are gone
other people sprung up and held their
torch high for a time but it burned out
and they sit in twilight and how we were
vanished the jews saw them all beat them
all
and it's now what he always was he's
dipping the decades on firm and his
vagina we give him his part so slowly
those energies no don't
learn aggressive mind all things are
mortal but the jew
all their forces pass but he remains
what is the secret
of his immortality what is
supernatural about us how about the fact
that we
exist the fact that we're still here
today
that's phenomenal i don't know when you
wake up in the morning look in the
mirror and go super
natural you probably look in the mirror
you probably go supernatural
and then you realize it's your roommate
but the fact that we still exist is
amazing let's take a look at another
quote i want you to picture someone
named leo do you know somebody named leo
picture a leo picture a leo
is that what you were picturing so
there's a guy by the name of leo tolstoy
nicolovic's a writer also not jewish who
said the following idea
the jew is the emblem of eternity hume
neither slaughter nor torture thousands
of years could destroy you
neither fire no sword and inquisition
was able to wipe up the face of the
earth he was the first to reduce the
oracle of god he has been for so long
the guardian of prophecy and transmitted
to the rest of the world
such a nation cannot be destroyed the
jew is as everlasting
as is eternity now my friends are
another very heavy statement the fact
that we still exist today
is phenomenal quite
quite quite obvious just defies our
logic
so we're going to try to show you today
a little bit deeper
and let it get a bit deeper so we know
we're supernatural that's pretty amazing
but again there's doubt so we know
there's two options
we have this book called the bible we
have this book called the torah
and the the two options we have in front
of you is that this book called the
torah either came from the divine
or came from an individual a group of
individuals
now what i'm going to try to show you is
i'm going to try to show you that this
book actually came
from a group of individuals or a person
i'll even be that person for argument's
sake
and i'm going to show you that this book
is not defined totally made up
no divinity no god no i mean there's a
torah but it's you know it is what it is
just a book
another bestseller if i succeed then we
have to change the discovery
seminar from discovery to discovery
undiscovered
but if i don't succeed foreshadow then
maybe because i'm not succeeding
foreshadow this visit actually did come
from the divine
post shadow but again you're going to be
the judge we're going to show a
series of seven prophecies one after the
next
that you yourself again i'll lay it out
for you are going to see
they not only do not make sense they
pretty much contradict each other
and yet they still come true showing
that pointing in a direction
some pretty heavy evidence that indeed
this book did come from the divine
but again what's in the in the for the
sake of having some uh some fun out
there
i'm gonna show you that it didn't it
actually came from an individual
i will be that individual and i will
start a religion
okay so i want you to try to imagine for
a moment okay try to imagine for a
moment
that there is no such thing as
let's go back one more time sorry about
that and forward imagine for a moment
you know you you never heard of this
thing called judaism or god or anything
and i come on the scene i'm alright
ready people
i'd like to start a religion i'd like to
start a religion you say okay
uh what is it i say i want to call it
judaism well why
judaism out of cat named judaism back
off yeah okay great fantastic judaism
but you know what's a religion without a
prophecy you know it's a religion
without a prophecy
and i want to be a religion with the
prophecy so we've got to up it a little
bit
but we're going to start with a little
bit of a prophecy which is that which is
an intense an amazing prophecy
and you guys will be the judges whether
you agree or not prophecy number one is
that we are going to be
an eternal nation everybody wants to be
eternal
especially the older we get in life we
want to leave a legacy we're going to
make sure people are part of something
bigger than themselves
we are going to be an eternal nation
when we find this actually written in my
book so you take a look
in genesis chapter 17 verse 7. this is
the first of my five books
i will establish a covenant between you
and you and your descendants after you
throughout their generations in eternal
covenant to be your god and the god of
the descendants after you what does
eternal covenant mean
it means we're gonna live forever we're
gonna be forever it's gonna be
eternal forever a contract will always
be there
or another statement which is found in
leviticus the third of the five books
thus even while they are in the lanes of
our enemies i will not reject or
obliterate them
unless they break my covenant with them
by destroying them for i am the lord
their god
i will remember them because of the
covenant i made
with their original ancestors whom i
brought out of the lands of egypt and
the side of the nation said i might be
their god
so indeed we have found this idea of
eternal nation that we are going to be
here
forever okay great so far is good that's
a great opener that's a great beginning
i mean you start
now if anyone here though has been
involved in business before you
should be asking me one question try to
imagine i offer you
i'll give you you give me one million
dollars and in three years time
three three years time i'll turn into 10
million dollars
are you in some people have this natural
to say
no too good to be true others say yes i
want the money
those who understand business little say
what's your plan
what's your track record what have you
done what how do you plan to get this
done
so i have an idea i have an idea you
know we're going to be an eternal nation
so i'm going to guarantee we're going to
be determination
well i have a plan you know my plan is
you know people have
have their their eternal people have
their their places where they live their
their national homelands
you know different places where they
live and that's where they are
we're gonna have an eternal national
homeland we're gonna have our own little
place
that we will never leave we'll never
leave there we'll stay there
we'll build there we'll create there and
we'll just we'll just keep going
so that might be a logical progression
we say
how am i going to guarantee that we're
going to be here forever the fact that
we're going to have a land and we'll
stand in that land
what have i told you well i have a plan
you want to know how i'm going to
guarantee we're going to be
an eternal nation simple next prophecy i
mean come on
we're going to be exiled and dispersed
exiled this version isn't that a great
plan
and for those who are actually paying
attention at this stage you should be
like not exactly
the most ideal of plans yeah let me show
you just a small little list of places
that we've been chucked from as you see
beautifully we have france
go down the list france gonna lose
france italy france france france
nazi controlled errors and arable lands
essentially if you look and you search
and you will
find it we've been shocked time after
time but god will be waiting okay over
and over we've been chucked and when we
find this is actually prophesized
let's take a look and you i will scatter
on the nations at the point of my drawn
sword leaving your country desolate and
your cities
in ruins or another wonderful quote i
appoint
heaven and earth as witnessed for you
today that you will be cut off quickly
from the land you are crossing the
jordan to acquire you should not remain
there long for you shall be wiped out
gods are then scattering the peoples
and you shall be left few in number
among the nations where god
will lead you a lovely bedtime story
so we're seeing over here that exile
dispersion
if you were my committee i'm trying to
get this religion off the ground
i imagine you'd agree this is not
exactly the ideal way of getting it done
this should be called strike
number one now you know baseball works
three strikes
and you're out but don't worry even
though we exiled this first
i have a plan committee to make sure
we're going to get this
religion off the ground what's that even
though the exam is first
you know i mean let's take a look and
see other people that have been around a
very long time
and maybe we could use their methodology
of survival so you know like
china india japan these are peoples that
have been around with their culture
and their heritage for a very long time
so
what's news what was their magic how did
they
survive for so long so let's take a look
at what they did and maybe we'll learn
from them let's start with japan
they don't know how is it that japan
survived for so long intact how how is
it
how so for those who know a little bit
about geography you'll know
simply because japan is in the middle of
japan you see if you want to go to japan
you gotta travel pretty far especially
back in the day you have to take boats
it wasn't so simple just to go to like
japan it's like hey where are you going
i'm going to japan
it doesn't work like that you have to
try you know the 17th
1600s the mongols tried twice to take
over japan but there was a monsoon a
typhoon
it's just it's just too hard to get
there to see because japan is in the
middle of nowhere so maybe we will use
the same method of survival
and whatever our land that we find
ourselves we'll make our land in the
middle of nowhere and that's why we did
that we made our land
in the middle of nowhere right
wrong not only is israel not in the
middle of nowhere it's in the middle
of the east it's in the middle of
everywhere it's the land bridge between
three different
continents if you want to go to europe
africa or asia you have to travel
through jerusalem
you know you shall and jerusalem is the
most conquered city in the world
it's been conquered and upwards of one
million
times that's totally not true
about 36 times but it's been built upon
built upon
built upon i don't know if you had the
privilege of coming to israel
of coming to jerusalem it's amazing you
go on the tunnel taurus
there's a torah you can see how it's
been built upon and built upon and built
upon and built upon it's an amazing
experience to see
so clearly we didn't use japan's method
of survival
but how about china and india oh and
they survived for so long don't get
thrown up by nepal
there could be a lot of answers but you
know what one major one is
just the sheer number of people
there are so many people they're
billions of them we're gonna try to
overcome china let's go let's attack
we're gonna come with how many
a million strong there are over a
billion of them close to two billion of
them you understand like
what are you gonna do you think you can
beat them it's just too much so maybe
we'll do the same thing
so many numbers so my next prophecy even
though the exiled is first my next
prophecy
of how we will survive for so long i
mean simply and obviously will be
we're going to be few in number huh
do a number says the community that
doesn't make any sense
but that's the next prophecy let's take
a look and see what it says over here
and you shall remain few a number among
the nations where god shall lead you
wow that's pretty explicit now a lot of
times people ask me especially when
they're in my class in person
they ask but doesn't the bible say that
we're going to be as numerous as the
stars of the heavens
that is a wonderful question for that i
turn to the next quote
you show them in fewer numbers whereas
you could have become as numerous as the
stars of the heavens because you would
not obey the voice of the lord your god
the fact that we exist that's not
contingent we're going to be here
how many we're going to be okay that's
contingent on a way a certain way of
behavior
it's a little bit strange when you think
about it the first commandment
in the bible is the fruitful multiplied
like peru or
lewis have lots of kids we know the
average secular couple has between 1.2
kids
and a dog i know what you're thinking
where's the point too
well there you go the average religious
couple is between 14
and 36 children okay i'm kidding but you
know whatever seven eight nine ten kids
let's do the math we are an age in
people we have a high birth rate
we should have tons and tons of jews
what's going on over here yet how many
jews are there in the world today
pretty crazy let's take a look at the
following you'll see
there was a sentence is done don't get
caught up by the exact like grid over
here going up it's
it's it's it's a it's a depiction of and
i
you'll see what i mean in 200 bce there
was a census done
where they found that there were between
six
and uh 30 million chinese people
near 200 bc
in the year 200 bce there was a census
done and they found that there were
between
approximately 30 million people in china
today
that number is over this is not an
accurate number anymore it's over 1.3
billion we're talking about
probably closer to two billion people
today
that's pretty nuts how about this we
know
that if you look in the uh this that
there's estimated near one ce it's
estimated there are between six and
eight million jews around
if we took the same growth rate just as
china it doesn't have to be the same
example
we should be today somewhere between six
uh
250 and 700 million jews
which somewhere around 400 million jews
in the world today at least
yet how many jews are there
that little lion in the bottom over
there approximately
14 million 14 million jews in the whole
world my friends
we're going to be few in number who
would have predicted such a thing
and who could have predicted such a
thing just normally we would have been
growing at such rates everyone likes to
think well
yeah but we have holocaust we have
pogroms that's true
fine but even with the question who
could have predicted this so many
thousands of years ago
by the way even the holocaust there were
18 million jews before the holocaust
we're not talking about like there were
hundreds of millions
the numbers just don't add up yet it was
prophesized that we are going to be
few in number let's take a look at this
on a pie chart let's face it we all love
pie
population of china of the world i'm
sorry
20 of the world is chinese 19 percent of
the world is
india and the jews can we get a little
sliver over there it's the little sliver
over there
someone always argues with me is it
point two or point zero two the point is
that we're a very
small slice of the pie pretty crazy my
friends fewer number
hey so i have a plan we're going to be
an eternal nation yeah sure we'll be
here forever yet we're going to be few
and numb we're going to be eggs on this
person few a number
i think that's uh strike number two i
don't necessarily i don't think that's
going to show such a good idea
but i have an idea i have an idea of an
idea i have a i have a plan that even
though we exile this person few in
number
to show that we're still going to
survive you know what that is
that is like the beatles said so
beautifully
all you need is
all you need is love it's ridiculous
prophecy
how it could be that we're going to
survive for so many years
next prophecy is the whole world
is going to hate us anti-semitism
doesn't that fit beautifully with our
survival
let's take a look and see where does
this actually speak it out so look at
all the bibles again it says
whenever you're ready deuteronomy
and those of you who survive in the
lands of your enemies
i shall make so faint-hearted that if
the leaves wrestle behind them they will
flee headlong
as from the sword but no one pursues
them stumbling over one another is to
escape a weapon
while no one is after them so helpless
helpless helpless we be to take a stand
against our foes
you shall perish among the nations and
the land of your enemies
shall consume you a lovely bedtime story
and another one
among those nations you shall find a
respite no rest for your foot
their god will make you cowardly
destroying your outlook and you will be
terrified never show of your existence
in the morning you save only where
nights and the night evening you will
save a little morning
such will be the dread that your heart
will feel and the sights that your eyes
will see what is this coming from from
lava
i think my friends this ain't coming
from such love but if you want a more
explicit you actually have
a quote from the talmud the talmud is
found in shoppers on page 89
p tests on mud aleph 89a if you're
looking at the screen right now it's on
your left side i'm going to zoom in a
little bit you see over here
the bottom line you see where the red
line is if you go to the right because
hebrew starts on the right
you see the gemara asks says
what is mount sinai why is it called
mount sinai
says the talmud
it is a mountain that hatred came down
to the world
isn't that lovely we have been hated
from our very inception
i'm told it's a good movie i never saw
it but harshly yoga cinderella
that hager came to the world now those
are a little bit more advanced
maybe familiar with the fact that sinai
or
sinai and sinner are spelt differently
however one of them actually is aramaic
and one is hebrew the word for
he for hatred in hebrew is sinner in
aramaic it's actually
spelt like sinai is like c9 nonetheless
we find
that we've been hated from our very
existence that you don't really need me
to be able to break this down because
anyone who's
not living under a rock knows something
pretty crazy
if you hate black people now that took a
weird turn didn't it
it didn't relax if you ate black people
what are you
called if you hit a black person you are
called a racist
if you hate white people what are you
called a racist
if you okay arabs what are you called a
racist a lot of people like to say
islamophobe islamophobophobia means a
fear of so islamism means fear of but
not
hatred all right so we have here we hate
uh arabs if you ate asian people what
are you called
a racist if you hate jews what are you
called
anti-semite isn't that lovely
we have our own special name for it now
what is an anti-semite aunt
my friends is as follows anti-semitism
take a look at me and t-semi-tis of
anti-noun
discrimination against or prejudice or
hostility
toward jews a particular focused hatred
now you know a lot of people like to
think well look at the word itself
though anti-semitism anti means against
doesn't semitism mean like semites
we know that shame that noah noah
had three sons you know
the word shame if you're from shame you
are a semi from the son of noah
jews come from shame so if you're
anti-semite you're anti-jew
but guess what else who else comes from
shame
arabs arabs also come from shame so the
arabs also come from shame
so then why are you saying it's only
jews
arabs also it should be called an
anti-semite the answer my friends is
although you're right etymologically
speaking if you just broke down the word
you would think that's that's what it
would mean anti-semitism
it's just not right historically
historically there was a fellow by the
name
of wilhelm maher william mar was a
german journalist in 1879
and he was around in germany he said
there's such a hatred towards a jews
it needs its own name so we coined the
phrase
anti-semitism isn't that crazy
a word that was created although yes if
you really just break down the word but
he coined the phrase
particularly toward jews
there's actually a lot of words that
were created just for jews a lot of them
maybe you've heard of the word ghetto
although now people say like y'all from
the ghetto
yo where i'm from really do you live
behind uh barbed wire and you have a
star on you
what ghetto is first juice for jews or
pogrom
or how about holocaust holocaust
although greek and origin holocaust is
first used for jews
what about genocide again now just for
jews
what about money okay now i'm just
kidding but you got my point
there's a lot of words that he used just
for us
pretty scary to think about it gets a
little bit further than that you take a
look you start to see my friends
that there's something known as the
uniqueness of how much jewish people are
hated
we have over here is something called
universality intensity longevity and
irrationality
let's start with universality where
around the world
have we been hated
everywhere is correct pretty much cross
the globe anywhere you're going to go
you're going to find it
how about intensity how much are we
hated
well that'll be a technical glitch over
there it didn't be the black box but we
we sometimes you don't like your
neighbor like you don't want to
live there them you don't want them to
live near you but maybe you'll cut their
gas line you'll egg their house
but how many people think of let's think
of the final solution to eradicate
eliminate any jew anywhere that may be
found by the face of the earth
that's pretty intense what about
longevity longevity how long have we
been hated
since the very beginning of the world we
have been hated longevity
and about a rationality what's amazing
is that you could ask
two people the same question or maybe
even one person twice
why do you hate jews you know why
because they're so rich i can't stand
how rich they are and you know like they
don't have any money you know what i'm
saying like how they're poor
and because they're beautiful and ugly
different the same powerful weak
dominant passive leaders followers
social capitalists okay monitors radical
are my favorite
i can't stand those religious fanatics
they're such atheists
because the way it works my friends is
every generation
blames a jew before if there's a problem
we are the scapegoat
there will always be that we're saying
it doesn't matter what it was we will
always be we're blamed from
across the spectrum in every in every
generation it's pretty nuts
it's just kind of irrational you take a
look at that together it's pretty
crazy but i think the number one study
on
anti-semitism was ever done was done by
a professor cohen
now depending on when you're seeing this
presentation whether it's as i'm giving
it or it's in 100 years or not you may
not know who this is and just
skip over it but if you do know there's
a professor by the name of
professor cohen for those who know this
is um you know for those who don't
this is a fellow name of sasha baron
cohen he is a jewish actor
and uh comedian i guess uh personality
who who lives in england and he made a
lot of different characters this one is
known as borat
where he created a character where he
basically does a lot of ideas that are
quite anti-semitic
quite anti-semitic and um why does he do
it so firstly he makes a lot of money
made a lot of money doing it another
reason that he does this idea where he
makes these films or these
documentaries you know these shows which
are anti-semitic is
because many people don't know that
sacha baron cohen's grandfather
survived a little place called auschwitz
he's a survivor of auschwitz and he
wanted to show the world that even if a
person doesn't know what a jew is
they're still gonna have a hatred
towards them that's when he came out
with his hit single
throw the jew down the well he went to
some bar in
arizona i believe it was and he starts
singing a song
he's a character like he pretends he's
from a place called kazakhstan
kazakhstan then he says this song is
called
in my country we have problem and they
sing the song
in my country we have problem and the
problem is the jew
and nobody gets to the chorus he sings
throw the jew down the well
and everybody there starts singing throw
the jew down the well
so my country can be free so his country
can be free
you must grab him by his horns you must
grab him by his horns and then we'll
have a big party
they were like yeah imagine you would
get up and say
throw the down the well right
would that go over as well they say
throw the black person down the well i
was gonna say throw the jew down the
well and everybody's singing and dancing
what's going on over here we see my
friends
such a high level of anti-semitism even
if people don't know
maybe even particularly but even when
they don't know what a jew is
okay that my friends is what we call
anti-semitism would you say that's going
to support my claim of eternal nation
that we are going to be exiled dispersed
we're going to be a few in number and
the whole world will hate us
yeah that is a wonderful recipe for
survival or maybe that's called strike
number three
and you're out not exactly a good
idea but please wait but wait there's
more
because even with all this i mean what
would you expect a people
that went through this would you expect
them to a
survive or be not survive
i imagine it would be a i'm sorry b
not survive you know what i mean by that
like mark twain said the the the roman
the persians the greeks
the bit everybody they rose to pl now
they're gone
they maybe had amazing stuff but now
they're finished but the jew saw them
all beat him on is what he always was i
mean
it's pretty crazy exhibiting no
decadence throwing firmness of age those
slowly
weakening his part how he's still here
doesn't make sense now even if we were
to survive which is highly unlikely
but imagine we were to survive all of
these prophecies of these events
would you expect that these people would
be
changing the world and affecting it in
an incredible way
and and having such an impact on the on
the society
or b crawling on the floor bleeding from
every orifice waiting to get kicked in
the head again
yeah i'd go with b also but fortunately
it's not
the next prophecy we have is called we
are going to be a light unto the nations
we are going to affect the world in an
incredible way really we're going to be
lying to the nations we're going to
affect the world what does that even
mean let's take a look and see where we
find the prophecy
so first and foremost we have a quote in
genesis
and it says as follows
i will make you into a great nation i
will bless you and make your name great
you will become a blessing and i will
bless those that bless you and curse
those who curse you
through you all the communities of the
earth shall be blessed we're having this
next quote
from isaiah i the lord have called you
righteousness and will hold your hand
and keep you
and i will establish you as a covenant
of the people for a light
onto the nations that's pretty explicit
now but this next one
for be all darkness shall cover the
earth under thick darkness the nations
but
god will shine upon you nations don't go
by your light to kings by iranian
through a nation
are we gonna have an impact on the world
oh you better believe it and
how we impacted the world i mean let me
show you like a small little
screenshot of some ideas who's this guy
in the top
left corner top left corner that would
be albert einstein has he affected the
world oh yeah he's made some pretty big
impact on the world over there here's a
jew
what's that coin in the middle the
bottom right like a little bit bottom
middle
bottom middle uh middle right that's
what i meant that would be called you
could see it on the screen it says on an
alfred novel that'd be the nobel prize
we're less than a quarter of a percent
of the world population yet we have
more than a quarter of nobel prize
winnings that is a statistical anomaly
that that is pretty phenomenal
how about right in the middle of the
bottom that would be called a
kosher phone or a cell phone cell phone
technology created by
jews israelis bottom left corner that's
called drip irrigation
although israel does not really have so
much water
they are the leader in water recycling
eighty percent of the water in israel is
recycled
that my friends is a phenomenal feat
it's called the drip irrigation as
opposed to flood irrigation you take a
look at a video where you see that
they flood the fields with water over
here it's like they're like an iv
like a little tube around every plant or
every tree that just drips
out it saves 80 percent of the water
every time the water is used
and uh amazing phenomenal okay just a
small little list of things that we find
over here but is that what we mean
when we say we're going to be
enlightened to the nation's via secular
mathematician and scientists
my friends we mean something so much
more than that it means something so
much more than that what we mean by
being aligned into nations is something
known as
monotheism monotheism the fact that we
know that there's one god
and coming from that one god is
something that's a moral
moral morals and ethics let's take a
look and see one of my favorite quotes
really amazing quote from john adams
second president of the united states of
america
he was a bit loony but he was a pretty
important person he says the following
i will insist that the hebrews have done
more to civilize men than any other
nation if i were an atheist and believe
the blind eternal faith i should still
believe that fate had ordained the jews
to be the most essential instrument for
civilizing the nations
if i were an atheist of the other sect i
should believe that chains had ordered
the jews to preserve and propagate to
all mankind the doctrine
of a supreme intelligent wise almighty
sovereign of the universe which i
believe to be the great essential
principle of all morality and
consequently of all civilization the
most glorious nation that ever inhabited
this earth the romans and their empire
about a bobble in comparison to the jews
they have given religion to three
quarters of the globe
and of influenced affairs of mankind
more and more happily than any other
nation
ancient or modern phenomenal
we're the most glorious nation and we
have people that are
running away from judaism my friends
are we crazy running away from judaism
it's the most incredible opportunity
to be a jew and to be part of this
magnificent nation
that affects the world in such a
powerful way yet running away
to something very wrong either we just
don't
i would say i'm just saying we just
don't know the value we just don't
appreciate what the value is
so let's let's take a look and see what
we have my friends so far
that would be what we call prophecy
number five but when we're not done
number six and seven really pretty much
take this home over here
the next prophecy i'm gonna share with
you is that
something known as interdependence
should say interdependence forgive me
interdependency a relationship of the
connection
between the jewish people and the land
of israel itself
let's take a look and see look at this
what did the land of israel look like
before the jews got there originally
where in egypt where is god taking us
out of egypt too
exodus chapter 3 verse 8 i've come down
to rescue them from egypt's power i will
bring them out of the land to a good
spacious land to a land flowing
with milk and honey
to a landfill a beautiful gorgeous land
and the jewish people if you don't
believe it from the bible take a look
from
josephus it was a story looking at the
times of the temple he says the
following
for the whole area is excellent for
crops or pastures they're enriching
trees of every kind
so by its fertility invites even those
least inclined to work in the land
in fact every instrument have been
cultivated by the inhabitants not a
parcel goes to waste
it is thickly covered with towns and
thanks to the natural abundance of the
soil
the many villages are so densely
populated that the smallest of them has
more than fifteen thousand inhabitants
if you don't understand what has
happened what it basically said is
the land is awesome the land is awesome
they're this gorgeous delicious land
and when the jews come down to ah
amazing
what happened when the jews leave what
happened the jewish people leave the
land of israel
and don't think nobody tried to live
here he had the greeks that physicians
babylonia's mama looks for timids don't
get me started on the ambassadors the
romans
so many people tried to live here but
they weren't able to do one thing
and that's grow the land so devastated
when i leave the land
that your enemies will live there will
be astonished your lane will be remained
desolate in your cities
in ruins or we take a look my friends
what happens to this gorgeous lanes when
we leave it becomes this baron desolate
wasteland and that barren desolate
wasteland is not my own words i am
quoting
from our friend again from the beginning
mark twain
otherwise known as yellow circle head
boy
not really but this is a picture of mark
twain when they go to make their way
to the land of israel mark twain came
along
to to land he made it he made a begin to
visit israel in 1867 we'll talk about
years ago if you're watching this in
2020 vision
we know it's 153 years ago it's not long
ago mark twain comes along and says the
following will traverse some miles of
desolate country
whose soil is rich but it's given holy
to weeds a silent mournful expanse of
desolation is here that not even
imagination can grace with upon for life
in action
we reach tabor safely we never saw a
human being on the whole route
we pressed on towards the goal of our
crusade renowned the jerusalem the
further we went
the hotter the sun got the more rocky
and bare repulsive and dreary
the landscape became there was hardly a
tree or shrub
anywhere even the olive and the cactus
those fast friends of our worthless soil
had almost deserted the country no
landscape
exists that is more tiresome to the eye
than that which bouncy approaches to
jerusalem
jerusalem is mournful dreary and
lifeless
i would not desire to live here it's a
hopeless dreary horrible
land palestine sits in sackcloth and
ashes
palestine is no more of this workday
world it is secret to poetry and
tradition
it is dreamland would you agree with
that
is that true is israel no more of this
workday world
would you say that the land of israel
does not give anything to the global
market in any way shape or form
i think anyone who knows anything about
the economy will know that
not only is israel a player in the
global market it's a big player but some
might say well okay that's in technology
but what about
agriculture in the land itself so i want
to share with you as recently as
2005 is when i heard this idea of it i'm
sure since it's been amazing stories
you know in 2005 there's a place called
which was supplying
vegetables to the entire country
unfortunately it's
they're not when i'm anymore however
the jewish people were there and they
were farming and they were spreading out
lanes and
the government decided to give this
place kush katif to the arabs
however just understand something
phenomenal
the the year in 2005 and 2005
not only was israel giving for growing
fruits and vegetables i'm sorry
vegetables for israel
they were exporting to the world in
excess
of 200 million dollars a year
in produce no more of this workday world
200 million dollars a year progress that
is phenomenal
that's crazy my friends i think we are
connected
i think that uh israel is connected i
think that the
land as they call palestine is doing
some pretty amazing things right now
what is phenomenal to note is that
when they did give the land back to the
arabs in 2000 when they gave
the land away to the arabs in 2005
and the jews left the land not israel
but they left that land
they had our time and the land was not
was not producing it was producing maybe
ten percent of what it used to produce
when the jews were living there
so the arabs that were living there
called up the jews allah said what would
you do to the land
you know what's going on over here why
is the land not producing
and they said we didn't do anything to
the land we didn't do anything
so maybe say oh the jews have a secret
way of growing the produce and the arabs
didn't know about
guess what the very same arabs that were
living there and
trying to grow the stuff were the same
arabs that were being employed by the
jews to work there
before they had to give away the land so
we see there's a relationship
between the jewish people and in the
land of israel that is a pretty
fascinating idea where around it starts
to grow if not it's not as much i mean
this is something crazy is going on over
there
so i think that they said yeah mark
twain recent i mean listen to me since
then
the name dreamland anymore if you think
about how phenomenal that is
try to imagine the native americans
they're living in america
and white man arrives what do you think
what happens
so the chief calls everyone together and
he says land when white man arriveth
do not sprout vegetation or herbs of any
kind
remain barren desolates remain a
wasteland
little chief small bear big river let's
go
and we know from the moment the native
americans left america it has remained
the baron desolate wasteland
but that's simply not true we've built
it up to this amazing
country this amazing it's a superpower
of the world
second only to amazon start to see that
even though maybe they had some sort of
connection with the land that's only
when they're there when they leave it's
not there anymore
the jewish people are the connection
with their land when we're there it
grows and not it stops
interdependence of relationship within
the land and the people
but last but not least my friend the
last prophecy
i'll return again return again
come back come back to me now
oh man the fact that we're gonna come
back to the land we're gonna return to
the land of israel
do you realize no people have ever been
kicked off their land
twice and come back twice maybe three
times
it's not normal yet we're coming back
let's take a look at a little quote over
here
so the quote says then the lord your god
shall return you from your captivity and
have compassion upon you
you shall return and gather from among
the nations and the lord your god will
bring you
into the land that your father's
inherited you will acquire you will make
you even more prosperous and numerous
than your fathers
or another quote in jeremiah for those
said god shout with joy
for jacob exalted the head of the
nations proclaim your praise and say oh
god
deliver your people the remnant of
israel behold i will bring them back
from the door that from northern lands
and gather them from the ends of the
world
that is amazing we're going to come back
to the land of israel
crazy and you know the jews start to
make the way back you know
what was that percentage the population
of jews living in israel near 1900
anyone know percentage-wise of jews take
a guess it's right there up on the
screen
about 0.5 of the jewish people were
living in israel near 1900.
today in 2020 i don't think that number
is accurate anymore this will put up a
little more
we are over i believe the 50 mark
of jews living in israel in 120 some odd
years to go from 0.5 to over 50 percent
that is a statistical impossibility you
understand that's crazy
and here we are here we are going ahead
and building it up
and rebuilding this land you know why
quite simply because
my friends you know that
it was nothing it was barren it was
desolate
if you were to tell your great
grandparents you're going to be
visiting israel living in israel
learning about judaism they'd say like
that's crazy that doesn't make any sense
but here we are we're the land of israel
we've built it up in this amazing
amazing superpower but i'll tell you the
truth
the reason why i'm still talking is
because i'm waiting for the piano
[Music]
okay good great fantastic so that my
friends is what's known as
return we're gonna come back to the land
of israel
that is phenomenal it kind of defies
all logic the fact that we are here
which brings us back to the very
beginning
let's take a look at everything we said
we said we're going to be an eternal
nation we're going to be exiling this
first we're going to do a few numbers
we're going to be having anti-semitism
light intimidations interdependency and
we're going to come back to the land
i want you to try to imagine for a
moment okay there's a little place in
israel in jerusalem in the city center
there's an area known as crack square
for those who have visited you know
what i'm talking about for those who
haven't it's called crack square now the
reason it's called crack square
is because the pavement's a little bit
uneven over there
but really there's a lot of people that
do crack there now i want you to try now
maybe they've cleaned it up i don't know
but it was called
it still is called crack squared because
it wasn't anyway you get my point i want
you to imagine you're standing in crack
square
and suddenly someone comes over to you
and when they come over you they say
hey right suddenly look from nowhere
they're like yo
hey oh yeah hey eyes are red
and they're like you're like yeah what
they're like yo listen listen school
chess
y'all tishman listen up in 10 minutes in
the end
they said that in 10 minutes it's gonna
be a little rumble rumble
the ground's gonna shakingly shake it's
gonna open up
ten golden chariots are gonna pop out
they're gonna circle your head
three times and then they're gonna fly
off yeah
yo listen another guy would walk away
what would be going through your mind
another day at the office
probably hey i'm in crack square
probably watch myself
what would you then think if 10 minutes
later
the ground started to shake and you're
like oh me theo's kf
fell you take a step back and suddenly
the ground opens up and nine golden
chariots pop out and you say i thought
ten
and then the tenth one pops out and it
starts circling your head three times
and then they fly off would you then be
thinking you didn't do anything you were
involved in any
illegal or decriminalized activities
you're totally sober
what would you then be thinking
that guy knew what's up what's up was he
a prophet how do you know what's going
on over there
maybe i should try to find who that guy
was my friends
let me share with you the screen at
least one more time and listen carefully
we said that we are going to be an
eternal nation
that's itself come on who could make
such a claim
and then we were exiled dispersed and we
survived
do you realize that anxiety dispersion
by itself
that's crazy i mean that doesn't make
any sense
yet here we are few in number
and that alone is a miracle that we
still exist don't put them together
we'll be excellent
envy fewer number come on anti-semitism
we're gonna be hated by everyone
that alone is a phenomenon that we still
exist it doesn't make sense i put them
together with eggs on this first few
numbers and everyone's gonna hate us
and we're gonna be elected to the
nations come on and we're gonna love our
land that's gonna
love us and we're gonna come back to the
land
i mean does that make any sense that my
friends is phenomenal
but you know the ground opening up
and tangled in chariots flying over your
head three times and going away
that's phenomenal but what puts it above
and beyond
the fact that it was predictive
exile dispersion
fewer number anti-semitism led into the
nations
interdependence return
each one of those is phenomenal by
themselves put them together
it don't make no sense but what puts it
above and beyond
the fact that it was all predicted
beforehand
my friends i want you to take a good
look at this one last time and
understand what we're talking about here
when blaise pascal said you want to know
something
uh evidence of a supernatural force the
jews your majesty the jews
history is the barometer of truth we get
to take a look
hindsight is 20 20. we're in the year
2020. we get to look back
then they didn't need to prove it
because they lived with the fact that
there was a god and they experienced it
but maybe now
through bumps and bruises along the way
we've lost it but when we look back now
we get to see
oh my goodness who would have predicted
such a thing
who could have predicted such a thing
eternal nation excellence version of
fewer number
anti-semitism like the nations
independency in return my friends
this i believe there's some pretty heavy
evidence to show
that the hand that wrote this book
could not have been an individual group
of individuals
foreshadowed but rather to handle what
this book is none other than the hand of
the divine
they end up what we call god thank you
so much for joining us
and please feel free to continue
looking at other presentations that deal
with the discovery seminar
other resources thank you so much once
again
it's rav gav signing out from your
