“Sons of Israel”

Filmed on location where it happened in the Holy Land. Zola teaches on the fascinating lives of some of God's key men — from Abraham to the Messiah and the Apostles. An informative and stunningly beautiful history of the people God chose and the special men among them that He used for His purposes. Closed Captioned.

From Mount Scopus in Jerusalem, Zola begins this series with the father of the nation, Abraham. This humble man from Ur relocated to a land he had never seen and received a promise to be a blessing to all people on earth. We find a school that teaches recent immigrants from the former Soviet Union about their Jewish history and culture.

In view of David's Tower in Jerusalem, Zola teaches on Israel's desire for a human king which resulted in Saul, David and ultimately, Jesus.
