Yeshua - The Land, The Promise, The Messiah DVD
- Yeshua, the Hebrew name for Jesus, offers a fascinatingly
new view of Jesus' life. Presented by Dr. Oswald Hoffmann, Yeshua
reveals ancient customs and beliefs with exceptional clarity and detail.
This five-program series moves across more than 2,000 years of history,
from the time of Abraham through the efforts of the Jews to possess and
hold the promised land, to the birth and life of Jesus.
After viewing Yeshua
, you will listen to Scripture reading with new insight and read
familiar prophecies, psalms and parables with fresh appreciation. To
view Yeshua from beginning to
end is to enrich your understanding not only of the turning point in all
history, but of the singular figure who caused the turning.
Part 1: The Land and the Promise
-- Ur of the Chaldees, birthplace of Abraham, begins the narrative.
Continuing through the fall of Ur, Abraham's entrance into the promised
land, and the exile of the chosen people in Egypt, part one ends with
their return to a homeland soon taken over by Rome and governed by the
wily, paranoid half-Jew, Herod.
Part 2: The Promise Takes Root --
This episode begins with the angel's visit to Mary and proceeds through
the presentation of Jesus in the temple at Jerusalem after the family's
return from exile. Fascinating scientific data relating to the star of
Bethlehem is presented.
Part 3: Voice and the Light --
The cries of John the Baptist lead into a portrayal of the community of
zealous Jews at Qumran where John, perhaps orphaned as a child, may have
grown up. Moving through the events of Jesus' early ministry we also
witness the beautiful reenactment of a Jewish wedding as Jesus might
have seen it at Cana.
Part 4: The Bread of Sacrifice --
As the life of Jesus nears its tragic close, He prepares His followers
for His coming sacrifice. We see archaeological evidence for the
practice of human sacrifice in caves beneath the North African city of
Carthage, but draw nearer to the meaning of Christ's sacrifice in the
story of Abraham's' willingness to lill his son Isaac in obedience to
the will of God. The segment ends with Jesus' entry into Jerusalem.
Part 5: Ripple of Darkness, Waves of
Light -- The familiar mysteries of Christ's death and
resurrection take on a strong immediacy in this final episode. After
dramatic reenactments of the torture, execution, burial and resurrection
of Christ, the segment explores research on the Shroud of Turin.,
DVD Video / 141 min., Excellent!
