- 00:04:19.599 --> 00:04:21.935
- When he was just a young man, dreamed of being an artist.
- 00:04:22.002 --> 00:04:24.604
- Dreamed of being an artist. that was one of his dreams.
- 00:04:24.671 --> 00:04:26.239
- That was one of his dreams. he wanted to be an artist,
- 00:04:26.306 --> 00:04:27.541
- He wanted to be an artist, and he wanted to be
- 00:04:27.607 --> 00:04:28.141
- And he wanted to be a great architect.
- 00:04:28.208 --> 00:04:30.210
- A great architect. and he put in an application
- 00:04:30.277 --> 00:04:31.945

- And to his great disappointment, hitler was rejected
- 00:04:37.851 --> 00:04:39.920
- Hitler was rejected and he was not accepted.
- 00:04:39.986 --> 00:04:42.489

- 00:04:42.556 --> 00:04:45.292
- And he believed that jews controlled that board
- 00:04:45.359 --> 00:04:46.793

- 00:04:46.860 --> 00:04:47.794
- And it was jews who rejected him.
- 00:04:47.861 --> 00:04:50.330
- Who rejected him. and from that came
- 00:04:50.397 --> 00:04:51.665
- And from that came a root of bitterness,
- 00:04:51.732 --> 00:04:53.667
- A root of bitterness, and it's amazing how something
- 00:04:53.734 --> 00:04:55.102
- And it's amazing how something can start so small in our lives,
- 00:04:55.168 --> 00:04:57.471
- Can start so small in our lives, and if we don't
- 00:04:57.537 --> 00:04:58.071
- And if we don't bring it into check,
- 00:04:58.138 --> 00:05:00.307
- Bring it into check, it can end up destroying
- 00:05:00.374 --> 00:05:02.676
- It can end up destroying and bringing destruction,
- 00:05:02.743 --> 00:05:03.944
- And bringing destruction, and bitterness for generations
- 00:05:04.010 --> 00:05:06.246
- And bitterness for generations to come upon millions of people.
- 00:05:06.313 --> 00:05:08.682
- To come upon millions of people. one man's bitterness.
- 00:05:08.749 --> 00:05:10.684

- And so, his dream was not only --
- 00:05:12.252 --> 00:05:13.587
- Was not only -- after that dream was crushed,
- 00:05:13.653 --> 00:05:15.722

- An empire and develop a -- he called a superhuman race
- 00:05:31.505 --> 00:05:34.941
- He called a superhuman race and he wanted to adopt
- 00:05:35.008 --> 00:05:37.477
- And he wanted to adopt his hometown of --
- 00:05:37.544 --> 00:05:39.980
- His hometown of -- or adopt as his hometown
- 00:05:40.046 --> 00:05:42.215
- Or adopt as his hometown the city of linz in germany

- 00:17:10.403 --> 00:17:17.009
- The bulldozers off. what i'm saying to you is
- 00:17:17.076 --> 00:17:18.211
- What i'm saying to you is exactly what nehemiah found
- 00:17:18.277 --> 00:17:21.647
- Exactly what nehemiah found when he went back to
- 00:17:21.714 --> 00:17:22.715
- When he went back to jerusalem after the battle.
- 00:17:22.782 --> 00:17:27.153
- Jerusalem after the battle. in nehemiah he said,
- 00:17:27.220 --> 00:17:30.456
- In nehemiah he said, "there's nothing left
- 00:17:30.523 --> 00:17:31.457
- "there's nothing left but stones, burnt stones,
- 00:17:31.524 --> 00:17:34.460
- But stones, burnt stones, and rubble."
- 00:17:34.527 --> 00:17:36.963

- 00:17:37.029 --> 00:17:37.964
- But then he makes this powerful command to fathers,
- 00:17:38.030 --> 00:17:41.601
- Powerful command to fathers, to mothers, to people
- 00:17:41.667 --> 00:17:43.703
- To mothers, to people in families that have been
- 00:17:43.769 --> 00:17:45.138
- In families that have been through the fire
- 00:17:45.204 --> 00:17:46.172
- Through the fire and the enemy's tried
- 00:17:46.239 --> 00:17:47.373
- And the enemy's tried his best to use that
- 00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:48.975
- His best to use that battle zone to destroy
- 00:17:49.041 --> 00:17:50.343
- Battle zone to destroy your family, he said
- 00:17:50.409 --> 00:17:52.378
- Your family, he said these words, nehemiah,
- 00:17:52.445 --> 00:17:55.047
- These words, nehemiah, "fight for your family,
- 00:17:55.114 --> 00:17:57.950
- "fight for your family, fight for your children,
- 00:17:58.017 --> 00:18:00.887
- Fight for your children, fight for your
- 00:18:00.953 --> 00:18:01.888

- 00:18:04.257 --> 00:18:05.057
- Fight for your mothers and fathers."
- 00:18:05.124 --> 00:18:07.126
- Mothers and fathers." and he said,
- 00:18:07.193 --> 00:18:07.894
- And he said, "take a sword in one hand
- 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:10.763
- "take a sword in one hand and a hammer in the other hand,
- 00:18:10.830 --> 00:18:13.332
- And a hammer in the other hand, or an instrument to build,
- 00:18:13.399 --> 00:18:16.669
- Or an instrument to build, and build, and battle,
- 00:18:16.736 --> 00:18:18.938

- 00:18:36.322 --> 00:18:36.856
- And he said, "there's treasure here,
- 00:18:36.923 --> 00:18:37.890
- "there's treasure here, and that city still stands,
- 00:18:37.957 --> 00:18:39.625
- And that city still stands, and it will continue to stand,
- 00:18:39.692 --> 00:18:41.961
- And it will continue to stand, no matter who comes against it
- 00:18:42.028 --> 00:18:43.930
