00:00:00.000 From David himself, we see Isaiah's sentiments of the suffering servant echoed as he writes,
00:00:06.500 and I quote,
00:00:08.020 So this is an open letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and all of the Jewish people 0.97
00:00:24.860 on the way to peace.
00:00:26.920 Dear Mr. Netanyahu and all of the Jewish people, 1.00
00:00:31.800 Here is the road to peace for all of you.
00:00:37.240 In the Hebrew Bible, peace is mentioned quite frequently.
00:00:42.320 When a man's ways please the Lord, we read in Proverbs 16,
00:00:46.420 he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
00:00:50.640 Peace depends on the Almighty, as the Psalms reveal.
00:00:54.320 They say,
00:00:54.940 Hey my friends, are you still looking for a Christmas gift for that someone special on your list
00:01:06.900 who seems to have everything?
00:01:08.180 Well, I've got something for you.
00:01:09.440 We've got these beautiful silver rounds.
00:01:11.700 They're one ounce of pure silver.
00:01:13.400 And on it is, of course, a picture of LifeSite commemorating our 25th anniversary,
00:01:17.680 but also the anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
00:01:20.300 Perfect little gift for that person on your list who has everything.
00:01:23.600 God bless you.
00:01:26.240 Before we continue, I must begin, as we always do on this show, with the sign of the cross.
00:01:33.040 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
00:01:38.120 Amen.
00:01:38.480 So, let me tell you, in all honesty, Mr. Netanyahu and all of the Jewish peoples,
00:01:46.980 I have the key to peace for you and for all the people, the sons of Abraham.
00:01:54.400 But let me begin with why I'm wanting to share this with you.
00:01:58.920 It actually relates to the immense love and gratitude that I hold in my heart for the Jewish people.
00:02:07.060 The example of your people has molded my life, it's inspired my mind and heart,
00:02:14.700 and in fact, it gives my life meaning and purpose.
00:02:19.120 Father Abraham, with his great faith in God, was ready to accept
00:02:23.180 that his 90-year-old wife could bear him a son.
00:02:26.920 He believed so strongly that even when God asked him to sacrifice his one and only son,
00:02:33.240 the son of the promise, who was to beget for him as many descendants as the stars,
00:02:39.100 Abraham did not hesitate to sacrifice Isaac.
00:02:42.720 And Isaac, too, in his turn, was ready to be sacrificed
00:02:45.860 and was ready to accept death at the hand of the God who made him 0.99
00:02:50.440 and called him to birth out of his mother's aged womb.
00:02:55.200 Jacob, after heeding the advice of Rebekah, his mother,
00:03:01.880 received the birthright and was loved by the Lord.
00:03:06.260 He wrestled even with an angel in order to receive the blessing of heaven
00:03:10.060 and suffered a limp ever after as a result of that struggle,
00:03:14.280 and surely it was a constant reminder of the promise and the presence of the Almighty.
00:03:20.420 In Jacob's son Joseph, we see the awesome work of God in bringing good from evil.
00:03:28.300 The treachery of his brothers led to a miraculous saving of the people of Israel from famine
00:03:34.240 and allowed the children of Abraham to flourish.
00:03:39.160 Even after the persecution by the Egyptians,
00:03:41.500 God raised up Moses to deliver his people out of bondage
00:03:45.400 with great and awesome signs and wonders
00:03:49.140 up to and including the striking down of the firstborn of Egypt.
00:03:54.420 But even once allowed to leave,
00:03:56.840 Pharaoh sought revenge and pursued the chosen people into the desert. 0.73
00:04:01.960 Undeterred,
00:04:03.220 Moses, by God's command,
00:04:05.560 parted the Red Sea
00:04:06.640 and led the Israelites across on dry ground.
00:04:10.800 When pursued by the Egyptian army,
00:04:13.540 God dealt the final blow upon Pharaoh's soldiers
00:04:16.700 as they were drowned in the sea,
00:04:20.160 leaving the progeny of Abraham to rejoice 1.00
00:04:22.780 at their deliverance by the hand of the Lord.
00:04:26.600 The intimacy with God
00:04:28.880 caused Moses' face to shine like the sun
00:04:32.020 so it could not be gazed upon by the people.
00:04:34.200 The Almighty wrote on tablets of stone
00:04:36.840 the great commandments
00:04:37.800 which stand today
00:04:39.300 as a rule for all mankind.
00:04:42.780 The awesome majesty of God
00:04:44.740 and the reverence due Him
00:04:46.660 were drilled home
00:04:48.980 in the care and splendor
00:04:51.660 with which the Ark of the Covenant
00:04:53.520 was constructed and revered.
00:04:56.220 When it was touched
00:04:57.240 by an unconsecrated hand,
00:04:59.780 the guilty party was slain
00:05:01.500 by the Lord of hosts.
00:05:02.720 The succession of judges and kings
00:05:06.320 culminate in David,
00:05:08.440 the tragic hero
00:05:09.600 in whom we see the mixture
00:05:12.020 of ardent love for God
00:05:13.640 mixed with a humanity weak
00:05:15.380 to the temptations of the flesh.
00:05:18.000 He teaches us
00:05:19.180 the awesome mercy of God
00:05:20.740 when His people repent of their sins.
00:05:24.320 The great prophet Elijah
00:05:26.120 evidenced so powerfully
00:05:28.520 that there is no God
00:05:30.200 other than the Lord God Almighty,
00:05:33.120 the God of Abraham,
00:05:34.500 Isaac, and Jacob.
00:05:36.260 His example of fidelity
00:05:37.900 under persecution
00:05:38.860 is for us
00:05:40.100 a shining beacon of hope
00:05:42.060 as we await
00:05:43.500 with you
00:05:44.460 Elijah's return
00:05:46.080 from his celestial place
00:05:47.540 of repose.
00:05:48.300 It is for all these reasons
00:05:51.560 and many, many more
00:05:53.140 that followers of Christ,
00:05:56.140 Catholics,
00:05:57.300 love the Jewish people.
00:05:59.980 We count your ancestry
00:06:01.840 as our own spiritual ancestry
00:06:03.900 as well.
00:06:06.480 We revere the saints
00:06:08.640 of your ancient fathers.
00:06:10.460 We honor them
00:06:11.180 and implore God
00:06:12.660 that we may follow
00:06:14.280 their example
00:06:15.380 of unyielding fidelity.
00:06:18.740 We are grateful
00:06:19.700 beyond words
00:06:20.780 for the grace
00:06:21.920 of your people
00:06:22.760 that they have bestowed
00:06:24.680 on the whole world.
00:06:28.380 And there is one more prophet
00:06:30.140 whom we share
00:06:31.840 who stirs our hearts
00:06:33.260 but also marks
00:06:35.020 a delineation
00:06:36.500 between our peoples
00:06:37.700 and that is Isaiah.
00:06:40.240 The great prophet
00:06:41.680 who tells of the Lord's sign
00:06:44.180 that a virgin 0.61
00:06:45.320 will conceive
00:06:46.200 and bear a son
00:06:47.140 who will be called
00:06:48.520 Emmanuel,
00:06:49.780 God with us,
00:06:51.620 as you can read
00:06:52.520 in Isaiah 7.14.
00:06:55.380 He writes about
00:06:56.540 the Lord's
00:06:57.140 suffering servant
00:06:58.160 in whom all
00:06:59.660 the ends of the earth
00:07:00.780 shall see
00:07:01.680 the salvation
00:07:02.320 of our God,
00:07:03.620 as he records
00:07:04.580 in Isaiah 52.10.
00:07:07.140 He who is,
00:07:08.700 as Isaiah 53 reveals,
00:07:11.140 to be despised
00:07:12.180 and the most abject 0.88
00:07:13.840 of men,
00:07:14.540 a man of sorrows,
00:07:15.600 who has borne
00:07:16.520 the infirmities
00:07:17.400 and carried
00:07:18.820 our sorrows,
00:07:20.100 one who people
00:07:21.200 would believe
00:07:21.940 to be struck
00:07:23.600 by God
00:07:24.240 and afflicted.
00:07:26.220 But he was wounded
00:07:27.600 for our iniquities,
00:07:29.300 he was bruised
00:07:30.080 for our sins,
00:07:31.400 the chastisement
00:07:32.500 of our peace
00:07:33.780 was upon him
00:07:34.600 and by his bruises
00:07:36.320 we are healed.
00:07:38.640 The Lord
00:07:39.480 has laid on him
00:07:40.380 the iniquity
00:07:40.920 of us all.
00:07:42.740 He was to be
00:07:43.760 the atoning,
00:07:45.060 sacrificial lamb
00:07:45.980 who was offered
00:07:47.120 because it was
00:07:48.300 his own will
00:07:49.680 and was led
00:07:52.000 as a sheep
00:07:53.120 to the slaughter
00:07:53.740 and shall not 0.85
00:07:55.040 open his mouth.
00:07:56.860 The suffering servant,
00:07:58.220 Isaiah tells us,
00:07:59.640 has done no iniquity,
00:08:02.660 neither was there deceit
00:08:04.080 in his mouth,
00:08:05.120 but yet the Lord
00:08:06.180 was pleased
00:08:06.880 to bruise him
00:08:07.840 in infirmity
00:08:08.880 and that he
00:08:10.660 shall lay down
00:08:11.560 his life
00:08:12.080 for sin
00:08:12.700 that would
00:08:14.380 justify many
00:08:15.540 and he
00:08:17.620 shall bear
00:08:18.200 their iniquities
00:08:19.180 that he would
00:08:21.300 even
00:08:21.820 pray
00:08:23.060 for the transgressors.
00:08:24.880 And we see this
00:08:25.580 not only in Isaiah,
00:08:26.860 we see it also
00:08:27.660 prophesied
00:08:28.380 in David's writings.
00:08:30.700 David wrote
00:08:31.300 too
00:08:31.660 of your
00:08:33.120 long-awaited
00:08:34.040 Messiah
00:08:34.440 who is
00:08:36.120 the son
00:08:36.600 of Miriam
00:08:37.220 and Joseph.
00:08:39.060 We call her
00:08:39.920 Mary,
00:08:40.840 both descendants
00:08:41.800 of David.
00:08:43.460 And from David
00:08:44.080 himself,
00:08:44.660 we see Isaiah's
00:08:45.860 sentiments
00:08:46.300 of the suffering
00:08:47.720 servant echoed
00:08:48.980 as he writes,
00:08:50.400 and I quote,
00:08:51.640 they have pierced
00:08:52.220 my hands
00:08:52.860 and my feet,
00:08:53.960 they have numbered
00:08:54.780 all my bones.
00:08:56.700 And that's
00:08:57.180 from Psalms 22.
00:08:58.240 He came
00:09:00.180 to free
00:09:00.700 first the Jews 0.99
00:09:01.740 and then
00:09:02.860 all of the Gentile 1.00
00:09:04.060 world from slavery
00:09:05.100 to sin
00:09:05.900 and the devil.
00:09:08.440 He established
00:09:09.260 the one true
00:09:10.060 Church,
00:09:10.660 revealing himself
00:09:11.540 as the Messiah,
00:09:12.800 the Holy One
00:09:13.340 of Israel.
00:09:15.160 And perhaps
00:09:15.820 these verses
00:09:16.540 from your own
00:09:17.940 revered prophet
00:09:18.960 can reverberate
00:09:20.720 in your heart
00:09:21.460 and stir you
00:09:22.440 to see
00:09:23.340 in this
00:09:24.880 calamitous
00:09:25.700 time,
00:09:26.980 perhaps to
00:09:27.960 recognize
00:09:28.560 the truth
00:09:29.680 of Jesus
00:09:30.380 the Christ,
00:09:32.100 to see
00:09:32.820 in him
00:09:33.440 the peace
00:09:34.500 that has
00:09:35.680 so eluded
00:09:36.860 the people
00:09:37.440 of Israel
00:09:37.920 since the time
00:09:38.720 of Christ.
00:09:40.600 We know
00:09:41.340 from the Proverbs
00:09:42.060 that something
00:09:43.080 is wrong,
00:09:44.420 for we are told
00:09:45.060 when a man's 0.83
00:09:45.740 ways please
00:09:46.260 the Lord,
00:09:47.320 he makes
00:09:47.680 even his enemies
00:09:48.660 to be at peace
00:09:49.940 with him.
00:09:51.160 Proverbs 16,
00:09:51.960 7.
00:09:53.320 Peace depends
00:09:54.440 on the Almighty
00:09:55.240 as the Psalms
00:09:56.020 reveal,
00:09:56.580 for you alone,
00:09:57.520 O Lord,
00:09:57.960 make me dwell
00:09:59.020 in safety,
00:09:59.960 Psalms 4.8.
00:10:02.480 Jesus is there
00:10:03.820 for you
00:10:04.440 and all
00:10:05.700 your people.
00:10:07.660 All followers
00:10:08.360 of Christ
00:10:08.860 believe
00:10:09.440 that one day
00:10:10.460 the prophecy
00:10:11.260 of Zechariah
00:10:12.180 will be fulfilled,
00:10:13.760 that a spirit
00:10:14.600 of grace
00:10:15.060 will be poured
00:10:15.680 out on the
00:10:16.480 house of David,
00:10:17.920 and the Jews
00:10:18.940 will look upon
00:10:19.920 me,
00:10:20.600 on him
00:10:21.520 who they
00:10:22.360 have pierced.
00:10:23.580 They shall
00:10:24.180 mourn for him
00:10:24.980 as one
00:10:26.060 mourns
00:10:26.640 for an
00:10:27.260 only child
00:10:27.960 and weeps
00:10:28.940 bitterly
00:10:29.560 over him
00:10:30.080 as one
00:10:30.800 weeps
00:10:31.220 over a
00:10:32.380 firstborn.
00:10:33.520 Zechariah
00:10:34.240 12.10.
00:10:35.440 In our
00:10:38.220 New Testament,
00:10:39.280 which we
00:10:39.660 include in
00:10:40.240 our Bible
00:10:40.720 alongside
00:10:41.220 your
00:10:41.920 Hebrew
00:10:42.600 Bible,
00:10:44.180 Jesus
00:10:44.460 is recorded
00:10:45.460 as lamenting
00:10:46.760 for the Jews,
00:10:48.080 his own
00:10:48.560 people.
00:10:49.500 He says,
00:10:51.340 Jerusalem,
00:10:52.080 Jerusalem,
00:10:52.780 you who 1.00
00:10:53.200 kill the 0.99
00:10:53.660 prophets 1.00
00:10:54.060 and stone
00:10:54.760 those 0.91
00:10:55.280 sent to
00:10:56.280 you,
00:10:57.180 how often
00:10:57.960 have I
00:10:58.320 longed to
00:10:59.040 gather your
00:10:59.560 children together
00:11:00.400 as a hen
00:11:01.280 gathers her
00:11:01.920 chicks under
00:11:02.820 her wings,
00:11:03.420 and you
00:11:04.420 were not
00:11:04.940 willing.
00:11:06.260 You'll find
00:11:07.020 that in
00:11:07.340 Matthew 23.37.
00:11:10.980 You know,
00:11:11.760 I'm ashamed
00:11:12.200 to admit it,
00:11:13.560 but it is
00:11:14.840 true that
00:11:15.980 there are
00:11:16.320 some followers
00:11:17.040 of Christ
00:11:17.640 who out of
00:11:18.820 a mistaken
00:11:19.380 sense of
00:11:20.140 charity or
00:11:20.860 a cowardice
00:11:21.800 for fear
00:11:22.900 of disdain
00:11:23.600 refuse to
00:11:25.540 invite our
00:11:26.280 Jewish
00:11:26.700 brothers and
00:11:27.240 sisters to
00:11:28.380 recognize in
00:11:29.360 Jesus the
00:11:30.000 Messiah.
00:11:31.760 They refused
00:11:33.200 to let
00:11:34.620 them see
00:11:35.180 him for
00:11:35.540 what he
00:11:35.920 is,
00:11:36.800 flesh of
00:11:37.520 your flesh,
00:11:38.700 bone of
00:11:39.160 your bone,
00:11:40.100 a descendant
00:11:40.800 of David.
00:11:42.380 He fulfills
00:11:43.240 the sign
00:11:43.860 prophesied by
00:11:44.640 Isaiah,
00:11:45.160 therefore the
00:11:45.820 Lord himself
00:11:46.620 shall give
00:11:47.480 you a sign,
00:11:48.080 behold a
00:11:48.460 virgin shall 0.94
00:11:49.260 conceive and
00:11:50.040 bear a
00:11:50.440 son,
00:11:51.560 and his
00:11:51.860 name shall
00:11:52.260 be called
00:11:52.700 Emmanuel.
00:11:55.000 So it's
00:11:55.720 out of love
00:11:56.240 for you,
00:11:57.060 for your
00:11:57.520 heritage,
00:11:58.560 for the
00:11:58.960 gift you
00:11:59.420 gave to
00:11:59.820 the world.
00:12:00.200 let me
00:12:02.000 a nobody
00:12:04.000 and someone
00:12:05.160 who holds
00:12:05.640 in his
00:12:05.940 heart great
00:12:06.940 love for
00:12:07.600 you and
00:12:08.160 for a debt
00:12:08.860 of gratitude
00:12:09.640 invite you
00:12:11.680 to consider
00:12:13.260 him who
00:12:14.840 your heart
00:12:15.300 desires,
00:12:16.640 him whose
00:12:17.300 hands and
00:12:17.960 feet were
00:12:18.380 pierced for
00:12:18.940 love of
00:12:19.340 you,
00:12:20.720 him who
00:12:21.420 allowed
00:12:21.780 himself to
00:12:22.400 be crucified 0.97
00:12:22.960 to save 0.99
00:12:23.800 you and
00:12:25.260 all of us
00:12:25.880 from our
00:12:26.260 sins,
00:12:27.160 who offered
00:12:27.880 himself as
00:12:28.680 the Lamb
00:12:29.080 of God
00:12:29.620 to take
00:12:30.380 away the
00:12:30.940 sins of
00:12:31.280 the world
00:12:31.660 and to
00:12:32.680 grant us
00:12:33.460 peace.
00:12:36.000 Some time
00:12:36.820 ago at
00:12:37.160 LifeSite News
00:12:37.660 we ran a
00:12:38.260 show with
00:12:39.000 Mother Miriam,
00:12:40.600 a Jew from
00:12:41.320 New York
00:12:41.760 who became
00:12:42.460 a Catholic.
00:12:43.820 She calls
00:12:44.440 herself a
00:12:44.960 completed Jew 0.96
00:12:45.860 since she
00:12:47.020 is recognized
00:12:48.120 in Jesus
00:12:48.760 the one,
00:12:50.320 the Holy
00:12:50.800 One of
00:12:51.720 Israel,
00:12:52.380 Messiah,
00:12:53.200 the Prince
00:12:53.760 of Peace.
00:12:56.300 Reacting to
00:12:57.180 the deplorable
00:12:58.080 stance of
00:12:58.840 some Catholics
00:12:59.620 and Christians
00:13:00.360 who refused
00:13:01.300 to offer
00:13:02.120 Jesus to
00:13:02.940 the Jews,
00:13:04.220 she castigated
00:13:05.220 them,
00:13:06.060 saying that
00:13:06.600 the greatest
00:13:07.340 form of
00:13:08.300 anti-Semitism
00:13:09.080 was keeping
00:13:10.220 Jesus from
00:13:10.860 the Jews.
00:13:12.360 Here,
00:13:13.340 watch her 0.84
00:13:13.960 testimony for
00:13:14.640 yourself and
00:13:15.340 know that it
00:13:16.200 comes from
00:13:16.660 that spirit
00:13:17.200 of love
00:13:17.800 and admonishment
00:13:19.580 of those
00:13:20.760 followers of
00:13:21.440 Jesus who
00:13:22.220 would dare
00:13:23.180 to suggest
00:13:24.520 that out of
00:13:25.040 some kind of
00:13:25.580 politically correct 0.61
00:13:26.400 nonsense,
00:13:27.060 we should
00:13:27.520 refuse to
00:13:28.840 give Jesus
00:13:29.300 to the Jews.
00:13:30.540 That is a 0.99
00:13:31.220 cowardice and
00:13:32.380 it in fact
00:13:32.980 shows a
00:13:33.320 hatred under
00:13:34.480 a veil of
00:13:35.980 love and
00:13:37.060 charity.
00:13:37.960 Watch what she 0.71
00:13:38.560 has to say.
00:13:39.660 That's where
00:13:40.160 she's coming
00:13:40.600 from.
00:13:40.940 And I think,
00:13:42.840 dear excellency,
00:13:44.020 that the
00:13:44.520 greatest form
00:13:46.560 of anti-Semitism
00:13:48.080 ever
00:13:48.900 is to deny
00:13:51.140 the Jewish
00:13:52.260 people the
00:13:52.880 knowledge of
00:13:53.440 Christ whom
00:13:54.240 they gave
00:13:54.840 to the
00:13:55.140 world through
00:13:55.800 God.
00:13:58.080 You are
00:13:58.840 damning them
00:13:59.520 if you deny 0.99
00:14:00.720 them and if
00:14:01.340 you say they
00:14:01.860 can come to
00:14:02.380 God in any
00:14:03.020 other way.
00:14:03.500 They cannot.
00:14:04.820 Right?
00:14:06.180 It is true.
00:14:07.420 Mother Miriam,
00:14:08.280 you spoke very
00:14:09.640 precisely.
00:14:11.120 In this,
00:14:11.620 we have to,
00:14:12.580 we will commit
00:14:13.740 a grave,
00:14:14.840 grievous
00:14:15.420 sin against
00:14:17.520 the love of
00:14:19.420 neighbor if we
00:14:21.080 do not preach
00:14:22.260 with love and
00:14:23.560 conviction to
00:14:25.120 the Jews of
00:14:26.020 today, Jesus
00:14:27.160 Christ as their 0.98
00:14:28.400 only Savior and
00:14:29.760 also to the
00:14:32.160 Muslims, to the 1.00
00:14:32.940 Hindus, to all
00:14:33.680 the people.
00:14:34.700 You know, after we
00:14:35.700 aired that, some
00:14:36.480 commented that
00:14:38.080 her remarks were
00:14:39.280 anti-Semitic.
00:14:40.900 So I wanted to
00:14:42.140 explain her 0.62
00:14:43.700 stance that it
00:14:45.760 comes from great
00:14:46.700 love, a great
00:14:48.000 love of her own
00:14:49.180 people, her
00:14:50.020 heritage, and
00:14:51.880 an ardent desire
00:14:53.160 that the people
00:14:54.560 of her ancestry
00:14:55.900 come to the
00:14:56.620 same divine
00:14:57.580 love which has
00:14:58.700 so permeated
00:14:59.900 her heart and
00:15:01.380 soul, that she
00:15:02.660 is steeped in a
00:15:04.120 joy and peace
00:15:05.360 that no earthly
00:15:06.700 power can ever
00:15:07.700 take from her.
00:15:09.700 She wants that 0.83
00:15:10.460 same joy and
00:15:11.440 peace for you
00:15:12.260 and is
00:15:14.060 righteously
00:15:15.040 angered by
00:15:16.320 those who
00:15:17.200 would dare to
00:15:18.240 deprive her
00:15:19.140 own people
00:15:20.000 of the
00:15:20.720 knowledge of
00:15:21.920 the Messiah.
00:15:24.040 So out of
00:15:24.940 love, respect,
00:15:26.900 and gratitude
00:15:27.700 for the Jewish
00:15:28.280 people, I
00:15:29.680 beg you, with
00:15:31.240 Mother Miriam,
00:15:32.500 to turn to
00:15:33.780 Emmanuel, God
00:15:34.720 with us, and
00:15:36.060 see him, the
00:15:37.660 Lord, the
00:15:38.560 answer to the
00:15:39.460 puzzle in
00:15:40.140 Genesis, which
00:15:41.120 speaks of the
00:15:42.540 one and only
00:15:44.200 God, saying,
00:15:45.820 let us make
00:15:46.520 man in our
00:15:47.520 image, the
00:15:49.320 one God, in
00:15:50.720 three persons,
00:15:51.560 Father, Son, and
00:15:52.620 Holy Spirit.
00:15:54.080 He chose
00:15:54.980 Abraham and
00:15:55.980 his descendants
00:15:56.660 as the means
00:15:57.960 to bring the
00:15:58.640 Messiah to all
00:15:59.560 mankind through
00:16:00.760 the woman whose
00:16:02.280 glory shines
00:16:03.460 brighter than
00:16:04.980 the praises of
00:16:05.780 Judith.
00:16:07.500 She is the
00:16:08.360 mother of the
00:16:09.240 Messiah, and
00:16:09.880 she, the
00:16:11.040 faithful daughter
00:16:11.900 of the house of
00:16:12.940 David, is the
00:16:14.320 crown of all
00:16:15.580 women on 0.98
00:16:16.520 earth.
00:16:17.920 What Prince
00:16:18.820 Uzziah said 0.98
00:16:19.780 of Judith
00:16:20.620 applies all
00:16:21.940 the more to
00:16:23.080 Miriam, or
00:16:24.520 Mary as we
00:16:25.220 call her.
00:16:26.500 Blessed art
00:16:27.320 thou, O
00:16:28.120 daughter, by
00:16:29.200 the Lord, the
00:16:29.820 Most High God,
00:16:30.620 of all women
00:16:31.600 upon the
00:16:32.140 earth, because
00:16:33.340 he hath so
00:16:34.180 magnified thy
00:16:35.140 name this day,
00:16:36.960 that thy
00:16:37.780 praise shall
00:16:38.560 not depart out
00:16:39.600 of the mouths
00:16:40.200 of men.
00:16:42.080 It is also
00:16:42.860 said of her,
00:16:44.480 Blessed art
00:16:45.140 thou by
00:16:45.640 God, in
00:16:46.900 every tabernacle
00:16:48.100 of Jacob, for
00:16:49.400 in every nation
00:16:50.600 which shall
00:16:51.180 hear thy
00:16:51.700 name, the
00:16:52.580 God of
00:16:53.040 Israel, shall 0.99
00:16:54.120 be magnified
00:16:55.120 on occasion
00:16:56.120 of thee.
00:16:59.160 Hear the
00:16:59.960 prayer of
00:17:01.020 this Miriam,
00:17:02.140 of Mary, the
00:17:04.340 mother of
00:17:04.760 Jesus, after
00:17:06.300 the Messiah was
00:17:07.140 conceived in her
00:17:07.920 womb by the
00:17:08.920 power of God.
00:17:10.400 Hear her
00:17:11.480 words, the
00:17:12.860 echo of the
00:17:13.860 prayers of
00:17:14.480 all the
00:17:15.000 holy women 0.90
00:17:15.560 of Israel, and
00:17:17.240 of all the
00:17:17.780 prophets and
00:17:18.660 holy ones of
00:17:19.740 Abraham's 0.82
00:17:20.300 children.
00:17:21.940 She prays
00:17:22.860 for you, her
00:17:24.460 kinsmen, and
00:17:26.000 her prayer will
00:17:27.600 be heard by
00:17:28.600 the Almighty
00:17:29.160 one day, and
00:17:31.480 one day soon.
00:17:34.680 She prayed,
00:17:36.860 My soul
00:17:37.980 magnifies the
00:17:38.940 Lord, and my
00:17:40.620 spirit, rejoiced
00:17:41.620 in God my
00:17:42.260 Savior, because
00:17:43.580 he hath regarded
00:17:45.040 the humility of
00:17:45.940 his handmaid.
00:17:47.400 For behold, from
00:17:48.220 henceforth all
00:17:49.420 generations shall
00:17:50.800 call me blessed,
00:17:52.540 because he that is
00:17:53.640 mighty has done
00:17:54.440 great things to
00:17:55.400 me, and holy
00:17:57.000 is his name, and
00:17:58.820 his mercy is from
00:17:59.780 generation unto
00:18:00.720 generations to
00:18:01.660 them that fear
00:18:02.540 him.
00:18:04.080 He has showed
00:18:05.060 might in his
00:18:05.820 arm, he has
00:18:07.180 scattered the
00:18:07.740 proud in the
00:18:08.760 conceit of their
00:18:09.580 heart, he has
00:18:10.660 put down the
00:18:11.320 mighty from
00:18:11.980 their seat, and
00:18:13.120 has exalted the
00:18:14.000 humble.
00:18:15.420 He has filled
00:18:16.220 the hungry with
00:18:17.020 good things, and
00:18:18.700 the rich he has
00:18:19.860 sent empty away.
00:18:22.180 He has received
00:18:23.320 Israel his 0.98
00:18:24.040 servant, being
00:18:25.280 mindful of his
00:18:26.080 mercy, as he
00:18:27.680 spoke to our
00:18:28.440 fathers, to
00:18:29.860 Abraham, and to
00:18:31.580 his seed forever.
00:18:32.740 for LifeSite
00:18:35.900 News, this is
00:18:36.620 John Henry
00:18:37.040 Weston, and may
00:18:38.820 God bless you.
00:19:02.740 fellow
00:19:24.560 you
00:19:24.960 here
00:19:25.500 came
00:19:25.780 to
00:19:25.920 Thank you.
00:19:55.920 Thank you.
00:20:25.920 Thank you.
00:20:55.920 Thank you.
00:21:25.920 Thank you.
00:21:55.920 And from David himself, we see Isaiah's sentiments of the suffering servant echoed as he writes,
00:22:15.420 and I quote,
00:22:16.420 They have pierced my hands and my feet, they have numbered all my bones.
00:22:22.300 And that's from Psalms 22.
00:22:24.920 He came to free first the Jews and then all of the Gentile world from slavery to sin and the devil. 1.00
00:22:32.720 And perhaps these verses from your own revered prophet can reverberate in your heart and stir you to see in this calamitous time.
00:22:51.600 Perhaps to recognize the truth of Jesus the Christ, to see in him the peace that has so eluded the people of Israel since the time of Christ.
00:23:04.680 We know from the Proverbs that something is wrong, for we are told when a man's ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
00:23:15.800 Peace depends on the Almighty as the Psalms reveal, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
00:23:25.080 Psalms 4.
00:23:26.080 Jesus is there for you and all your people.
00:23:31.760 All followers of Christ believe that one day the prophecy of Zechariah will be fulfilled,
00:23:39.180 that his spirit of grace will be poured out on the house of David,
00:23:43.440 and the Jews will look upon me, on him who they have pierced. 0.94
00:23:49.080 They shall mourn for him as one mourns for an only child and weeps bitterly over him as one weeps over a firstborn.
00:23:59.020 Zechariah 12.10
00:24:01.760 In our New Testament, which we include in our Bible alongside your Hebrew Bible,
00:24:09.600 Jesus is recorded as lamenting for the Jews, his own people.
00:24:14.960 He says,
00:24:16.720 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, 1.00
00:24:22.600 how often have I longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, 0.74
00:24:29.120 and you were not willing.
00:24:31.760 You'll find that in Matthew 23.37.
00:24:36.460 You know, I'm ashamed to admit it,
00:24:38.400 but it is true that there are some followers of Christ
00:24:43.080 who, out of a mistaken sense of charity or a cowardice for fear of disdain,
00:24:50.100 refuse to invite our Jewish brothers and sisters to recognize in Jesus the Messiah.
00:24:55.820 They refused to let them see him for what he is, flesh of your flesh, bone of your bone, a descendant of David.
00:25:07.740 He fulfills the sign prophesied by Isaiah,
00:25:10.440 Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign.
00:25:13.500 Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel.
00:25:18.580 So it's out of love for you, for your heritage, for the gift you gave to the world.
00:25:25.620 Let me, a nobody, and someone who holds in his heart great love for you and for a debt of gratitude,
00:25:35.140 invite you to consider him who your heart desires,
00:25:42.060 him whose hands and feet were pierced for love of you,
00:25:46.140 him who allowed himself to be crucified to save you and all of us from our sins,
00:25:52.000 who offered himself as the Lamb of God to take away the sins of the world
00:25:57.100 and to grant us peace.
00:26:27.100 Some time ago at LifeSite News, we ran a show with Mother Miriam,
00:26:51.240 a Jew from New York who became a Catholic.
00:26:53.580 She calls herself a completed Jew since she is recognized in Jesus,
00:26:59.720 the one, the Holy One of Israel, the Messiah, the Prince of Peace.
00:27:06.900 Reacting to the deplorable stance of some Catholics and Christians 1.00
00:27:11.000 who refuse to offer Jesus to the Jews, 0.99
00:27:14.860 she castigated them, saying that the greatest form of anti-Semitism
00:27:19.780 was keeping Jesus from the Jews. 0.94
00:27:22.040 Here, watch her testimony for yourself
00:27:25.600 and know that it comes from that spirit of love
00:27:28.420 and admonishment of those followers of Jesus
00:27:32.340 who would dare to suggest that out of some kind of politically correct nonsense
00:27:37.380 we should refuse to give Jesus to the Jews. 1.00
00:27:41.180 That is a cowardice and it in fact shows a hatred
00:27:44.260 under a veil of love and charity.
00:27:48.600 Watch what she has to say.
00:27:49.780 That's where she's coming from.
00:27:51.840 And I think, dear Excellency, that the greatest form of anti-Semitism ever
00:27:59.540 is to deny the Jewish people the knowledge of Christ 1.00
00:28:04.520 whom they gave to the world through God.
00:28:06.820 You are damning them if you deny them
00:28:11.680 and if you say they can come to God in any other way.
00:28:14.140 They cannot.
00:28:15.680 Right.
00:28:16.920 It is true.
00:28:18.060 Mother Miriam, you spoke very precisely.
00:28:21.100 And this we have to, we will commit a grave, grievous sin against the love of neighbor
00:28:30.620 if we do not preach with love and conviction to the Jews of today.
00:28:37.320 Jesus Christ is their only Savior and also to the Muslims, to the Hindus, to all the people.
00:28:44.840 You know, after we aired that, some commented that her remarks were anti-Semitic.
00:28:51.560 So I wanted to explain her stance that it comes from great love.
00:28:57.960 A great love of her own people.
00:29:00.460 Her heritage.
00:29:02.300 And an ardent desire that the people of her ancestry come to the same divine love
00:29:08.640 which has so permeated her heart and soul
00:29:12.400 that she is steeped in a joy and peace that no earthly power can ever take from her.
00:29:20.340 She wants that same joy and peace for you
00:29:22.900 and is righteously angered by those who would dare to deprive her own people
00:29:30.640 of the knowledge of the Messiah.
00:29:33.260 So out of love, respect and gratitude for the Jewish people
00:29:39.380 I beg you, with Mother Miriam, to turn to Emmanuel, God with us
00:29:45.820 and see him, the Lord
00:29:48.660 the answer to the puzzle in Genesis
00:29:51.160 which speaks of the one and only God
00:29:55.300 saying, let us make man in our image
00:29:58.700 the one God
00:30:00.660 in three Persons
00:30:02.080 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
00:30:03.900 David wrote two of your long-awaited Messiah
00:30:29.380 who is the son of Miriam
00:30:32.160 and Joseph
00:30:33.440 we call her Mary
00:30:35.220 both descendants of David
00:30:37.440 and from David himself
00:30:39.460 we see Isaiah's sentiments
00:30:41.240 of the suffering servant
00:30:43.180 echoed as he writes
00:30:44.920 and I quote
00:30:45.940 they have pierced my hands and my feet
00:30:48.400 they have numbered all my bones
00:30:50.840 and that's from Psalms 22
00:30:53.200 he came to free first the Jews 0.94
00:30:56.680 and then all of the Gentile world 1.00
00:30:59.300 from slavery to sin
00:31:00.840 and the devil
00:31:02.240 he established the one true church
00:31:05.440 revealing himself as the Messiah
00:31:07.300 the Holy One of Israel
00:31:08.740 Mother Miriam
00:31:26.120 a Jew from New York
00:31:28.260 who became a Catholic
00:31:29.440 she calls herself a completed Jew 0.85
00:31:32.360 since she is recognized in Jesus
00:31:35.260 the one
00:31:36.020 the Holy One
00:31:37.580 of Israel
00:31:38.560 the Messiah
00:31:39.340 the Prince of Peace
00:31:41.180 reacting to the deplorable stance
00:31:45.140 of some Catholics and Christians
00:31:46.860 who refused to offer Jesus to the Jews 0.99
00:31:49.960 she castigated them
00:31:52.080 saying that the greatest form
00:31:54.440 of anti-Semitism
00:31:55.500 was keeping Jesus from the Jews 1.00
00:32:07.580 the one God
00:32:10.620 in three persons
00:32:12.000 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
00:32:13.800 he chose Abraham 0.79
00:32:16.100 and his descendants
00:32:17.220 as the means
00:32:18.520 to bring the Messiah
00:32:19.580 to all mankind
00:32:20.460 through the woman 0.97
00:32:21.940 whose glory shines brighter
00:32:24.520 than the praises of Judith
00:32:26.620 she is the mother
00:32:29.160 of the Messiah
00:32:30.160 and she
00:32:30.740 the faithful daughter
00:32:32.460 of the house of David
00:32:33.740 is the crown
00:32:35.260 of all women
00:32:36.520 on earth
00:32:37.420 what Prince Uzziah said
00:33:01.940 of Judith
00:33:02.780 applies all the more
00:33:04.640 to Miriam
00:33:05.780 or Mary
00:33:07.040 as we call her
00:33:07.880 blessed art thou
00:33:09.960 O daughter
00:33:10.620 by the Lord
00:33:11.780 the Most High God
00:33:12.740 above all women
00:33:13.760 upon the earth
00:33:14.580 because he hath so magnified
00:33:17.060 thy name this day
00:33:18.120 that thy praise
00:33:20.480 shall not depart
00:33:21.440 out of the mouths
00:33:22.380 of men
00:33:22.920 it is also said of her
00:33:25.680 blessed art thou
00:33:27.580 by God
00:33:28.240 in every tabernacle
00:33:30.260 of Jacob
00:33:30.800 for in every nation
00:33:32.760 which shall hear
00:33:33.640 thy name
00:33:34.200 the God of Israel
00:33:35.620 shall be magnified
00:33:37.260 on occasion
00:33:38.280 of thee
