Israel 17 part two

This content was created by Joel Thornton. This content was uploaded by Joel Thornton. This is a YouTube video titled "Israel 17 part two" (uploaded 2019-02-05) containing an English (with some Hebrew) on-location recording of a religious pilgrimage/tour in Israel. The content mixes guided teaching about biblical sites (references to Moses, the Tabernacle, Samuel, Mount Zion, Melchizedek, King Herod, Gihon Springs) with live group activity—multiple baptisms in the Jordan River—and informal crowd interaction. Joel Thornton appears on camera introducing himself as a team pastor/teacher (with Jeremy and the Jonathan Williams team) and leads parts of the ministry/baptism. Other participants include named travelers (e.g., Heather Walter, Pat and Tom Peterson, Sharon Smart, Rick and Sherry) and various attendees and guides; there are also short Hebrew exchanges. The overall context is short-term ministry/tourist pilgrimage focused on bringing biblical history to life.

When you, uh, are, uh, going through the Torah with your Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, you're looking at the leadership of Moses taking the Israelites, uh, out of Egypt for 400 years of captivity, 413 years of captivity, and the Place of God's presence. You remember Moses was the one who wanted God's presence. The people said, "Listen, God or Moses, you talk to God." Have fun. איך זה שהחליטה הזאתי נמצאת בתוך כזה דבר? מה, השתמשו בסדר שהיה פה פעם לפני כמה ימים? יפה מאוד. זה אומר שהשביל הזה והחומה הזאת יהיה שנה יותר או עתיקה יותר מהדבר הזה? עתיקה. סליחה, חדשה או עתיקה? אנחנו בלילה נציון בבית ספר. מה אתם עושים? כן. Hi, I'm Joel Thornton. I'm here with Jeremy and I'm a Jonathan Williams team pastor. I've been a teacher here for 3 years. We're here to do what we know is short-term ministry. We're here to share the good news of Jesus with people who are in transition. And let's talk about this. You know, this is just amazing. I look around and there's just such incredible history here. 369 years, the tabernacle. The tabernacle of God was here. You know, there's a story in the Bible about Samuel hearing the voice of God, hearing God call him 3 times in the night. And Eli, the priest that had let the lamp of the Lord go out, this is where it happened. In fact, just a little off to my right is where arguably Samuel heard the voice of God. This history is just so awesome to be able to come here and experience it. It brings the story in the Bible right off the page. Did he walk Hit the road, Jack. Okay, rocks or mud? Nice.

Yeah, no, you need to go all the way down, all the way down. We've been there before. Top of the morning to you. To start with, you guys look right here. Okay, so actually what you're looking at. This is 3 houses from the First Temple period. This one in particular is very typical. Do you see the pebbles? Gotta get a picture of the bathroom. Yes, make sure you do. Maybe get some decorating ideas. Decorating ideas. I love it. Love it. That is so cool. What a great idea. Oh my God! Reconstruction. The reason that we do not call it the Third Temple is because during the period that King Herod is renovating the temple, the temple that Yeshua will later be in and overturn the money changers' tables. This particular spot at a place where there's a tower. It's by the Gihon Springs, and it's when Abraham meets who? King Melchizedek. All right, and Melchizedek is blessed. Abraham, and Abraham offers the bread and the wine. Here's the spiritual principle. Well, you get up here. We need a reunification hug. Cool stuff. Let's go inside. Can you see them? Yeah. It doesn't— it's got an X11. It's Roman. 12. Number 12. Can you see where I'm looking at now? Yeah, I do. Now this is actually a rare occasion if you think about it, because mostly when you tour Jerusalem, you visit sites that are associated or connected to the Royal League, ones on the Western Wall. Okay, and that's why this site, the Western Wall, but also sites in Jerusalem, they are very special. How come you're able to talk to me in this way? Joel again saying sorry. From 1948 to 1967, the Jews were— was not allowed into the Old City. We did not have access here at all. So where we are— where we are about to go is about the closest Allegorizing or spiritualizing or just being inspirational, taking it out of context. In actual fact, in the Bible— and it's for another day— but there is in the Bible a Mount Zion, uh, right where we were standing, where the Citadel of David is. Then there's a broader Mount Zion. Then there is, uh— Jerusalem.
