He had an
unshakable faith in God.
00:00:01.96\00:00:02.93
Any thought if I
build it they will come.
00:00:03.13\00:00:05.90
What did he build,
stay tune to find out.
00:00:06.10\00:00:09.00
One of the earliest
and most sophisticated
00:00:45.96\00:00:48.20
civilizations lies along
the banks of the Nile River
00:00:48.43\00:00:51.80
in Egypt. Climate
changes and overgrazing forced
00:00:52.00\00:00:55.00
the ancient Egyptians
to move from what is now
00:00:55.23\00:00:57.46
the Sahara desert to
the banks of the Nile.
00:00:57.66\00:01:00.23
In 3150 BC, Minze was
first to unify the Northern
00:01:00.23\00:01:05.36
and Southern people giving
rise to the dynastic system
00:01:05.56\00:01:08.93
that govern Egypt for the
next three thousand years.
00:01:09.16\00:01:12.60
The ancient Egyptians
were highly developed people.
00:01:12.80\00:01:17.13
Their sophistication can
be seen in the construction
00:01:17.36\00:01:19.90
of many temples and pyramids.
00:01:20.10\00:01:22.53
It's hard to imagine
being here at the great pyramids
00:01:25.80\00:01:28.30
of Egypt. In the spot
of solid city and I see
00:01:28.50\00:01:32.33
the pyramids of Egypt,
but look there they are,
00:01:32.53\00:01:34.76
right there, I can't
imagine that the pharaohs ever
00:01:34.96\00:01:38.43
in vision such a
thing is all of this.
00:01:38.63\00:01:41.56
The pyramid of Giza is
the only one of the seven
00:01:45.76\00:01:48.53
ancient wonders of
the world still remaining.
00:01:48.76\00:01:51.10
People from around the world
00:01:54.06\00:01:55.26
come to tour
these vast structures.
00:01:55.50\00:01:57.93
Thousands of years
ago, the pyramids were built
00:02:10.20\00:02:12.70
on the Giza
plateau as Necropolis,
00:02:12.90\00:02:15.23
a royal burial ground.
The pyramids were built
00:02:15.43\00:02:19.03
to house the
bodies of the pharaohs
00:02:19.26\00:02:20.80
as the symbol of their
divine power and to ensure
00:02:21.03\00:02:23.80
the eternal after life.
The site of them is absolutely
00:02:24.03\00:02:28.33
overwhelming. It makes
you wonder how they were built
00:02:28.56\00:02:31.50
without modern day
cranes, trucks, or barges.
00:02:31.70\00:02:34.50
How much. 50 Egyptian.
00:02:34.70\00:02:37.56
50 for how long
the ride is that?
00:02:37.80\00:02:39.26
Open time. Open time.
00:02:39.46\00:02:41.26
Yeah, you can take a
nice photo, nice ride,
00:02:41.50\00:02:42.96
and a nice picture. 50 is lot.
00:02:43.16\00:02:45.06
How much you want? I don't know,
00:02:45.30\00:02:47.76
anyway we don't
have time, I don't know,
00:02:47.96\00:02:50.90
how friendly he is.
He is very friendly.
00:02:51.10\00:02:52.90
You are not
friendly. Oh, this camel is.
00:02:53.13\00:02:55.93
You are not
friendly. This camel is mine.
00:02:56.16\00:02:58.33
Oh, he is your
camel. Yeah look. Okay.
00:02:58.56\00:03:00.20
Looks like he is very good pet.
00:03:04.13\00:03:06.43
Yeah, because you want a kiss.
00:03:06.66\00:03:07.73
No, I don't, I don't
need, I don't need a kiss.
00:03:07.96\00:03:09.80
Travel with me now
as I head far south
00:03:11.33\00:03:13.73
of the majestic pyramids
to the African island nation
00:03:14.00\00:03:16.66
of Madagascar,
where I find a man
00:03:16.90\00:03:18.80
filled with joy and
courage, who built something
00:03:19.00\00:03:21.56
far more important
than the pyramids of Egypt.
00:03:21.80\00:03:24.13
So, it's over here. Before
we actually came over here
00:03:29.90\00:03:35.06
to this hill, you said
that you would always been
00:03:35.30\00:03:37.63
a Christian since a little boy.
00:03:37.63\00:03:39.30
My father was a Christian,
00:03:41.20\00:03:42.23
so I have been a
Christian since my childhood.
00:03:42.53\00:03:44.90
Is everyone in the
village believe the same way
00:03:45.13\00:03:47.60
as far as believe in the
creator God of the Universe.
00:03:47.86\00:03:50.90
Yes many people in
this village believe in God
00:03:51.13\00:03:55.40
the creator So from 2001 to now
00:03:55.63\00:03:58.93
when you are
standing here today,
00:03:59.16\00:04:00.20
you pointed on that
hil behind you and said
00:04:00.43\00:04:02.53
there is our church.
How did all that happen?
00:04:02.73\00:04:05.30
I am very pleased
because I built a house
00:04:07.20\00:04:09.50
to God's people
here in this area.
00:04:09.70\00:04:12.06
You built the church.
Yes, I built the church.
00:04:12.30\00:04:15.80
Did you do that
before there were any members
00:04:16.03\00:04:18.03
or did you start
talking with a few people
00:04:18.30\00:04:21.00
and bring some people together
and then built a church.
00:04:21.26\00:04:23.33
I built it before
there were any members here.
00:04:24.83\00:04:27.20
Before there were any
members you build a church
00:04:27.46\00:04:29.30
to God. It's
wonderful, but how did you feel
00:04:29.53\00:04:32.40
so impressed to do that.
00:04:32.63\00:04:33.73
I did it because I didn't
have to get into worship in.
00:04:35.70\00:04:38.73
And so you built
the place to worship.
00:04:39.00\00:04:41.50
I didn't build it for myself.
00:04:42.90\00:04:45.36
I believed other
people would come and join me.
00:04:45.60\00:04:48.10
And did anyone come.
Yes many people came.
00:04:48.30\00:04:52.26
How many people
worship with you now?
00:04:52.50\00:04:54.43
Around 30 people
including children.
00:04:54.70\00:04:57.63
As you can see AWR is
frontline mission radio.
00:04:59.83\00:05:03.06
Our first priority is to
travel where missionaries
00:05:03.30\00:05:06.36
cannot go. We broadcast
thousands of hours each day
00:05:06.60\00:05:10.60
in 70 major
languages of the world.
00:05:10.83\00:05:12.80
AWR has the capability
and capacity of blanketing
00:05:14.16\00:05:16.90
almost 80% of the
world's population.
00:05:17.13\00:05:19.36
Not only do we
broadcast via shortwave radio,
00:05:19.60\00:05:22.56
but our signal is on
over 1000 FM and AM stations
00:05:22.76\00:05:27.10
around the world as well.
00:05:27.30\00:05:28.73
Our podcast
subscribers, internet users,
00:05:29.00\00:05:31.70
satellite downlinks
are growing rapidly,
00:05:31.93\00:05:34.40
evidence by the
hundred thousand plus e-mails,
00:05:34.60\00:05:37.40
letters, and phone calls we
receive each and every year.
00:05:37.60\00:05:41.26
Yes, AWR is your
mission radio, no walls,
00:05:41.50\00:05:45.66
and no border. For
AWR that means change life
00:05:45.90\00:05:48.50
and change hearts
around the world because
00:05:48.73\00:05:50.66
God is using the airways of AWR
00:05:50.90\00:05:53.90
to reach people everywhere.
00:05:54.13\00:05:55.70
Here is another story of hope
00:05:59.63\00:06:01.63
from Adventist World Radio.
00:06:01.90\00:06:04.20
My name is Benjamin
Schoun, President of
00:06:04.46\00:06:06.53
Adventist World Radio.
Let me tell you about our work
00:06:06.73\00:06:09.43
in North Korea, a
nation governed by a powerfully
00:06:09.66\00:06:12.80
repressive communist
regime, where any form of
00:06:13.00\00:06:15.56
evangelism is
strictly forbidden.
00:06:15.80\00:06:17.73
Adventist World Radio
makes daily shortwave broadcast
00:06:17.96\00:06:21.16
to North Korea
spreading the hope of Christ
00:06:21.36\00:06:23.60
to a nation utterly devoid
of Christianity is extremely
00:06:23.80\00:06:28.10
rare that we make any
contact with listeners
00:06:28.33\00:06:31.23
in North Korea.
However through communication
00:06:31.43\00:06:33.83
with North Korean
refugees, we are encouraged
00:06:34.10\00:06:36.50
to know that people are
listening to our programs.
00:06:36.73\00:06:39.60
We pray that our listeners
in North Korea will receive
00:06:39.83\00:06:43.20
God's word and find
salvation in Christ.
00:06:43.40\00:06:46.63
Adventist World Radio
shares the hope of Christ
00:06:48.70\00:06:52.10
with millions
of people everyday.

The ancients
thinks guarding the tombs
00:07:01.33\00:07:03.90
of the pharaohs a lion
body, the head of a man.
00:07:04.10\00:07:07.16
They had
thousands of Gods in Egypt,
00:07:07.40\00:07:09.86
so many Gods that they
couldn't even categorize
00:07:10.10\00:07:12.13
every one of them. You
notice the nose is missing;
00:07:12.40\00:07:15.43
it's been missing for centuries.
00:07:15.63\00:07:17.00
They say it was Napoleon's
army, who shattered off
00:07:17.23\00:07:20.20
and target practice,
but it was only a rumor,
00:07:20.43\00:07:22.80
it really isn't true.
00:07:23.00\00:07:24.06
The sphinx, the earliest
known monumental sculpture
00:07:27.20\00:07:29.83
of ancient Egypt. The
monument is carved from
00:07:30.06\00:07:33.63
an out crop of natural rock.
00:07:33.86\00:07:35.33
It stands 66 feet
high with elongated body,
00:07:35.56\00:07:39.66
241 feet long, outstretched
paws and a raw head dress
00:07:39.90\00:07:44.83
framing the face of a man,
00:07:45.06\00:07:46.23
possibly the face
of the king himself.
00:07:46.23\00:07:48.96
As you can see there
are tourists everywhere.
00:08:00.16\00:08:02.26
It is truly an incredible
wonder to see the sphinx
00:08:02.53\00:08:05.76
of Egypt. To be here you
know I have read about it
00:08:05.96\00:08:08.73
all my life in the history
books. But then to be here
00:08:08.96\00:08:11.40
in person, to see
it, to experience it,
00:08:11.63\00:08:13.80
what must it had been
like when it was brand new,
00:08:14.00\00:08:17.36
right from the hands off
00:08:17.60\00:08:19.00
all those workers
pretty phenomenal.
00:08:19.20\00:08:21.73
Adjacent to the sphinx is
one of the oldest surviving
00:08:33.73\00:08:37.40
temples in Egypt,
the Temple of Khafre,
00:08:37.63\00:08:39.63
this temple served as
the gateway to the pyramids
00:08:39.86\00:08:42.56
connected by a long causeway.
00:08:42.80\00:08:44.86
They are called one of
the seven ancient wonders
00:08:47.10\00:08:49.30
of the world, perhaps the
only wonders that are still
00:08:49.53\00:08:52.50
in existence. The pyramids
originally cap with gold.
00:08:52.73\00:08:56.56
They were covered in
limestone, so that they would
00:08:56.80\00:08:59.80
reflect the morning
sunrays all over Egypt.
00:09:00.06\00:09:02.56
Perhaps this very pyramids
Moses himself looked upon,
00:09:02.80\00:09:07.03
the children of Israel
looked upon in their mass exodus
00:09:07.26\00:09:10.53
out of this
country. It's all inspiring;
00:09:10.76\00:09:14.33
it's thrilling to be here
00:09:14.56\00:09:16.10
to look on such ancient history,
00:09:16.33\00:09:19.40
the mighty pyramids of Egypt.
00:09:19.63\00:09:21.90
One of the greatest
mystery surrounding the pyramid
00:09:31.96\00:09:34.13
is how would they construct it.
00:09:34.40\00:09:36.23
Thousands of years ago
how did the ancient Egyptian
00:09:37.33\00:09:40.50
core move in place
such massive stones
00:09:40.73\00:09:44.00
with such precision?
The pyramid of Dahshur
00:09:44.20\00:09:47.96
seems to demonstrate
that mistakes were made
00:09:48.20\00:09:50.40
in the earlier construction,
different styles were used
00:09:50.63\00:09:53.70
until they
perfection it Giza plateau.
00:09:53.90\00:09:55.80
The three great pyramids of Giza
00:09:57.56\00:09:58.93
were built in less
than one hundred years.
00:09:58.93\00:10:01.56
Two million three
hundred thousand stones,
00:10:03.93\00:10:07.03
it was constructed
archeologists says over a
00:10:07.80\00:10:10.00
twenty year period
using about a hundred thousand
00:10:10.00\00:10:12.46
men, and you wonder
sometimes how could this be.
00:10:12.46\00:10:15.60
Some men have worked
out the figures they say
00:10:15.60\00:10:18.06
that's 315 stones a day
that needed to be laid over
00:10:18.06\00:10:21.70
a 12-hour period. These
stones have to come from
00:10:21.70\00:10:24.80
the coral reef far away
put on the River Nile boated
00:10:24.80\00:10:28.30
all the way up here, and
brought to this site to be
00:10:28.30\00:10:31.33
constructed, 315
stones every single day,
00:10:31.33\00:10:34.73
how could it
happen, how could it be,
00:10:35.66\00:10:36.96
I don't know you even
think about the corey,
00:10:37.80\00:10:39.33
how many men did it
take the corey stones of that
00:10:39.33\00:10:42.50
size every single day
for how long. Perhaps there
00:10:42.50\00:10:47.20
are some people
suggest that maybe the ancients
00:10:47.20\00:10:49.70
were lot wiser than we
give them credit for today.
00:10:49.70\00:10:52.40
Emmanuel when we were in
the village asking directions
00:10:57.46\00:11:00.20
to try and find you,
people said it was about
00:11:00.20\00:11:02.73
11 kilometers, what
they didn't tell us it was
00:11:02.73\00:11:05.53
straight up, you live
on top of the mountains,
00:11:05.53\00:11:08.03
but it's a beautiful
place. Were you born and raised
00:11:08.03\00:11:11.43
in this area. Yes. How
many members in your family?
00:11:11.43\00:11:15.50
There are around 40
members in my family.
00:11:17.00\00:11:19.16
We all live together
here. Tell what type of work do
00:11:19.90\00:11:24.23
you do here in the village?
00:11:24.23\00:11:25.20
I farm and grow vegetables.
00:11:25.20\00:11:27.90
Do you also do rice, I see
some rice fields behind you?
00:11:28.90\00:11:31.16
Yes my family
and I live on rice.
00:11:32.80\00:11:35.23
How many crops of
rice do you get, just one
00:11:35.96\00:11:37.96
a year or more than one?
00:11:37.96\00:11:38.96
We don't get much water here,
so we grow rice once a year,
00:11:40.80\00:11:44.53
but in other places with
normal rain they can grow
00:11:44.53\00:11:48.40
three crops a year. I
understand in this area
00:11:48.40\00:11:51.10
that you get cyclones,
have you ever had a cyclone
00:11:51.10\00:11:53.96
in this area? Yes, cyclones
have happened a few times
00:11:53.96\00:11:58.73
here. Tell me about it
what was it like to live through
00:11:58.73\00:12:01.86
a cyclone? Cyclones are
very frightening because
00:12:04.70\00:12:06.56
you don't know whether or
not you will survive to it.
00:12:06.56\00:12:09.33
How about your homes, I
mean they look pretty strong,
00:12:10.46\00:12:13.20
but they'll
withstand the cyclone too.
00:12:13.20\00:12:15.16
We never had
problems with our houses being
00:12:15.40\00:12:18.83
destroyed, but our
church has suffered the most
00:12:18.83\00:12:21.40
during cyclones.
And what happened to it?
00:12:21.40\00:12:23.80
The wind reaped the roof off.
00:12:25.93\00:12:27.26
Sukari is perhaps one of
the richest archaeological
00:12:29.56\00:12:32.30
sites in all of Egypt,
spans a timeframe of three
00:12:32.30\00:12:35.00
thousand years.
Right behind me here is the
00:12:35.00\00:12:37.76
step pyramid, perhaps
one of the oldest of the
00:12:37.76\00:12:40.76
pyramids, kind of a
test pyramid if you will.
00:12:40.76\00:12:42.66
This area spans
four miles in length,
00:12:44.10\00:12:46.70
they probably don't even
know what's underground it,
00:12:47.56\00:12:49.76
they are finding
more things all the time.
00:12:49.76\00:12:51.50
There is a lot of dust
and pollution in the sky
00:12:51.50\00:12:54.40
today, but I hope you
can see over my shoulder
00:12:54.40\00:12:56.26
here far, far you
will see three pyramids,
00:12:56.26\00:12:59.13
but then in the
distance almost like silhouettes
00:12:59.13\00:13:02.00
of more pyramids,
those are the pyramids
00:13:02.00\00:13:03.70
of Giza right at the
edge of Cairo. As we come
00:13:03.70\00:13:07.93
across of course you see
a proverbial camel tied up.
00:13:07.93\00:13:10.20
More areas of digs
and things archeological
00:13:11.96\00:13:14.23
expeditions that
are going on right now.
00:13:14.23\00:13:16.30
The step pyramid here
and then check this out.
00:13:16.30\00:13:19.56
In the distance there
you can see the pyramids
00:13:21.40\00:13:25.06
to the right and then
clear in the far distance
00:13:25.06\00:13:27.60
additional pyramids, all built
in these high plateau area,
00:13:27.60\00:13:32.13
and then it dips down into
the valley, into the areas,
00:13:32.13\00:13:35.36
that are of lush with
the Nile river supplying the
00:13:35.36\00:13:38.66
nutrients, flooding every year,
00:13:38.66\00:13:41.06
the Nile floods every
year, and used to bring the
00:13:41.06\00:13:44.00
fresh nutrients, and
that's why they actually
00:13:44.00\00:13:46.50
worship the Nile
because it brought life,
00:13:46.50\00:13:48.63
it brought
vibrancy to all the people.
00:13:48.63\00:13:51.30
But this is not a place
of vibrancy here this is
00:13:53.10\00:13:55.03
a place of death,
this is the necropolis,
00:13:55.03\00:13:57.30
the place of the dead
spans from miles and miles.
00:13:57.30\00:14:00.80
The great pyramid of Kheops,
the fifth in the sequence
00:14:02.66\00:14:05.56
of major stone pyramids
contain some 2.3 million
00:14:05.56\00:14:09.43
limestone blocks, weighing
on average 2.5 tons each,
00:14:09.43\00:14:13.70
and up to 7.5 tons
which were placed in a period
00:14:13.70\00:14:17.86
of about 20 years.
This means that the stones
00:14:17.86\00:14:22.53
had to be placed at an
average rate of one every
00:14:22.53\00:14:25.90
two minutes during all
the daylight hours over
00:14:25.90\00:14:29.13
the construction period.
This required not intensive
00:14:29.13\00:14:32.80
labor and brute force,
but a hi-tech solution.
00:14:32.80\00:14:35.60
The Greek historian
Herodotus travel to Egypt
00:14:39.93\00:14:42.43
around 450 BC and
wrote that the Egyptians
00:14:42.43\00:14:45.90
have some sort of gear
that was used in lifting
00:14:45.90\00:14:48.50
this large blocks, but
scientists have found no proof
00:14:48.50\00:14:51.96
of any such lifting
device. Dr. RHG Perry
00:14:51.96\00:14:57.66
suggested they used a
cradle like machine that
00:14:57.66\00:15:00.76
had been excavated in
various new kingdom temples.
00:15:00.76\00:15:03.36
Four of those objects
could be fitted around the
00:15:04.10\00:15:06.20
block, so it could be
rolled easily. Experiment showed
00:15:06.20\00:15:10.60
how 80 men could drag
the block over a 1-in-4
00:15:10.60\00:15:14.16
incline ramp at a rate
of 80 meters per minute.
00:15:14.16\00:15:17.06
Many methods have been
proposed for raising the
00:15:19.00\00:15:21.20
stones, but today
no conclusive evidence
00:15:21.20\00:15:23.76
has been found to
support just one method.
00:15:23.76\00:15:26.13
These theories also do
not answer the question
00:15:27.70\00:15:29.90
of how the stones were
transported down the Nile
00:15:29.90\00:15:32.40
from as far away as Aswan
over 200 miles to the south.
00:15:32.40\00:15:36.60
Out in the middle of
what appears to be just rubble
00:15:40.50\00:15:42.73
everywhere, you find
huge granite slabs and in
00:15:42.73\00:15:46.56
this slabs some
integrate carvings.
00:15:46.56\00:15:49.10
Who were these people
that could bring this granite
00:15:50.73\00:15:52.66
from so many miles
away and do meticulous
00:15:52.66\00:15:56.83
work like they did here.
Now I understand I was told
00:15:56.83\00:16:04.20
in the village at the
bottom of the mountain
00:16:04.20\00:16:06.20
that you listen to
AWR. When did you start
00:16:06.20\00:16:08.90
listening? I started listening
to Adventist World Radio
00:16:08.90\00:16:13.53
in 1998. And how did you
start, did you just happened
00:16:13.53\00:16:17.76
to turn or did someone tell you?
00:16:17.76\00:16:19.20
I had never heard of
Adventist World Radio,
00:16:20.40\00:16:23.53
but one day I
accidentally tune into it.
00:16:24.63\00:16:26.90
So you accidentally found
the station, and tell me about
00:16:26.90\00:16:31.16
the first time
that you heard it.
00:16:31.16\00:16:32.70
What did you think about it?
00:16:32.70\00:16:33.70
I was very interested
in AWR because the message
00:16:35.06\00:16:38.63
was new for me.
What was new about it?
00:16:38.63\00:16:40.83
The truth about the
Sabbath was new to me.
00:16:42.26\00:16:44.46
And so there is new
Bible truth that you begin
00:16:44.46\00:16:47.73
listening to. Did you just
accept it right away or tell
00:16:47.73\00:16:52.20
me little of that
process? I believed right away,
00:16:52.20\00:16:55.53
but I wanted proof
from my fellow Christians.
00:16:55.53\00:16:58.03
What kind of proof? I
wanted to know why many
00:16:58.03\00:17:02.53
Christians thought
that Sabbath was finished,
00:17:02.73\00:17:04.30
while others do believe in it.
00:17:05.20\00:17:06.70
And where did that lead you
in your experience with God?
00:17:06.70\00:17:09.86
From then on I had a desire
to know more about the Sabbath.
00:17:11.90\00:17:15.23
Did you share this desire
with anyone else at the time?
00:17:15.23\00:17:18.43
Yes, I share it with others.
00:17:18.43\00:17:21.10
And what was their response?
00:17:21.10\00:17:23.30
At that time, I was the
leader of another church
00:17:23.53\00:17:27.10
and I shared the
Adventist truth with my fellow
00:17:27.10\00:17:29.90
members of the church.
You are the leader of the
00:17:29.90\00:17:32.76
entire church and you
shared this, did you shared
00:17:32.76\00:17:35.33
upfront or just
quietly amongst the few people?
00:17:35.33\00:17:37.80
I shared upfront
during the church service.
00:17:39.06\00:17:41.50
And what was that
reaction when you shared
00:17:41.50\00:17:43.66
it in the church.
After I scheduled my church
00:17:43.66\00:17:46.96
members, they
reported me to do priest,
00:17:46.96\00:17:48.90
then the priest
came and kick me out.
00:17:48.90\00:17:51.10
You are kicked out
of your church now.
00:17:51.10\00:17:53.13
You no longer have a
church. What did you do next?
00:17:53.13\00:17:55.70
I decided to be
baptized as an Adventist.
00:17:55.70\00:17:59.40
So you didn't get discouraged
at all, when you no longer
00:18:00.16\00:18:02.86
have a church, you
didn't get discouraged,
00:18:02.86\00:18:04.90
tell me why? I was
not discouraged because
00:18:04.90\00:18:08.13
I firmly believed
in Jesus' baptism.
00:18:08.13\00:18:10.80
You know when your
heart is open to the Lord,
00:18:11.70\00:18:13.20
God will always lead you.
00:18:13.20\00:18:14.50
Because we really don't
understand how the pyramids
00:18:17.06\00:18:19.30
were constructed, there
are so many different ideas,
00:18:19.30\00:18:22.26
people even come up
with the wildest things,
00:18:22.26\00:18:24.20
aliens came down and it
was aliens who constructed
00:18:24.20\00:18:27.26
them. I like to think
perhaps there is another reason.
00:18:27.26\00:18:30.60
One fellow, I know came
up with an idea he called
00:18:30.60\00:18:34.46
Ooparts, Out of Place
Artefacts. They actually in
00:18:34.46\00:18:38.76
pyramids and told they
discovered what appears
00:18:38.76\00:18:41.30
to be a battery
powered by citric acid.
00:18:41.30\00:18:44.40
These batteries they
postulate could have created
00:18:45.33\00:18:47.66
electricity to light
bulbs, I know it sounds funny
00:18:47.66\00:18:51.60
but light bulbs of all things
to light the insides of the
00:18:51.60\00:18:54.63
pyramids. Could these
ancient people have had
00:18:54.63\00:18:57.70
technology that we
don't understand? Well it is a
00:18:57.70\00:19:01.60
possibility if you believe
in the Bible you see because
00:19:01.60\00:19:04.76
according to the Bible
man was created directly from
00:19:04.76\00:19:07.90
the hand of the creator.
He had tremendous insight,
00:19:07.90\00:19:12.00
tremendous knowledge,
but after the flood and the
00:19:12.00\00:19:15.10
degeneration of
humanity we lost a lot of what
00:19:15.10\00:19:18.66
we originally had.
Could it be that this was the
00:19:18.66\00:19:22.90
simple thing for them
to construct in their time,
00:19:22.90\00:19:25.70
perhaps. It's sad
indeed to realize that perhaps
00:19:26.60\00:19:33.20
millions of people
suffered and died in order
00:19:33.20\00:19:36.60
to build the pharaohs
dream tombs that only they
00:19:36.60\00:19:39.90
could benefit from, and
then think of the vast amounts
00:19:39.90\00:19:43.46
of money they squandered
to build these edifices
00:19:43.46\00:19:45.86
in order to prepare
themselves for the journey
00:19:45.86\00:19:48.63
to the afterlife. Can you
imagine how difficult it would
00:19:48.63\00:19:53.80
be to get stones
higher and higher and higher?
00:19:53.80\00:19:56.20
They did it, many people
come up with lot of ideas,
00:19:58.83\00:20:01.26
but we may never
know. What a site to behold.
00:20:01.26\00:20:10.16
Imagine the glittering
gold and the polish limestone
00:20:10.16\00:20:13.80
reflecting the brilliant
rays of the very sun they
00:20:13.80\00:20:16.70
worshipped. To
realize that the pyramids were
00:20:16.70\00:20:34.93
at one time covered with
polish white limestone and
00:20:34.93\00:20:38.16
capped with gold is
almost hard to conceive,
00:20:38.16\00:20:40.90
but most of those
stone have fallen off or were
00:20:41.70\00:20:44.00
removed and used in
the building of many
00:20:44.00\00:20:46.16
Cairo's mosques. We
are at radio wave at AWR;

Here is another story of
00:21:53.26\00:22:00.63
hope from Adventist
World Radio. Kaluram was a
00:22:00.63\00:22:04.66
poor field labor near
Gujarat in India finding
00:22:04.66\00:22:07.93
his work tedious, Kalu
purchased a small radio
00:22:07.93\00:22:10.93
to relieve the
boredom. One day, he came across
00:22:10.93\00:22:13.90
the program talking
about Jesus. It was from
00:22:13.90\00:22:16.56
Adventist World Radio.
After listening for few days,
00:22:16.56\00:22:19.46
Kalu looked for a
pastor who could tell him more
00:22:19.46\00:22:22.50
about Christ. Soon
convinced of the Christian
00:22:22.50\00:22:25.26
truth Kalu was
baptized and became an outreach
00:22:25.26\00:22:28.70
leader in his hometown
and the surrounding area
00:22:28.70\00:22:31.36
witnessing in
predominantly Hindu towns is not
00:22:31.36\00:22:34.60
always safe, and Kalu
was once attacked when
00:22:34.60\00:22:37.43
approaching a town to
preach. However through
00:22:37.43\00:22:40.56
the efforts of Kalu and
the volunteers he has trained
00:22:40.56\00:22:43.56
nearly one thousand
people have accepted Christ.
00:22:43.56\00:22:46.93
Adventist World Radio
shares the hope of Christ
00:22:48.20\00:22:51.30
with millions
of people everyday.

It's really strange,
really interesting to hear a
00:23:03.66\00:23:07.40
story like this
because one moment you are the
00:23:07.40\00:23:09.86
leader of the church,
now you are kicked out,
00:23:09.86\00:23:11.80
but you don't get
discouraged, instead you go get
00:23:11.80\00:23:15.10
baptized. It just seems
like you know what's God
00:23:15.10\00:23:18.43
doing in your heart. I
couldn't feel discouraged
00:23:18.43\00:23:21.66
because I knew God
was working in my life.
00:23:21.66\00:23:24.56
What led you to baptism,
did you also hear that on
00:23:25.26\00:23:28.33
the radio, and was
that part of your studies?
00:23:28.33\00:23:31.20
Yes, I have heard
about baptism on the radio.
00:23:32.06\00:23:35.30
In what year were you baptized?
00:23:36.40\00:23:37.56
I was baptized on
22nd of December 2001.
00:23:38.90\00:23:42.60
You were the first one to
listen to AWR in this village.
00:23:43.73\00:23:46.43
Are there any other
people now who listen
00:23:46.43\00:23:47.90
to the programs?
Some people here have
00:23:47.90\00:23:51.36
radios and they listen
to Adventist World Radio.
00:23:51.36\00:23:55.06
What programs do
they like the best on AWR?
00:23:55.70\00:23:57.90
The health, education,
farming, and preaching
00:23:59.06\00:24:02.33
programs are all very popular.
00:24:02.33\00:24:04.43
How would your life be
different today if you never
00:24:05.23\00:24:07.83
accidentally as we say
found the first program?
00:24:07.83\00:24:11.00
I would still be committed
to God even if I had not
00:24:13.46\00:24:16.76
listened to AWR. So I
have the same desire for God,
00:24:16.76\00:24:21.10
but Adventist World
Radio has given me a direction.
00:24:21.10\00:24:24.33
So in another words it gave
you a new direction in life.
00:24:24.33\00:24:27.76
That's correct AWR
gave me a new life.
00:24:29.16\00:24:32.53
What would you tell
other people about may be they
00:24:33.66\00:24:37.13
don't believe in God
as much as you, maybe they
00:24:37.13\00:24:39.96
haven't experience that
fire that I think you have,
00:24:39.96\00:24:42.70
what would you want
to share with people,
00:24:43.76\00:24:45.56
what do you share with
people about telling them
00:24:45.56\00:24:48.13
to believe in God.
There is still hope even
00:24:48.13\00:24:53.20
for those like me who are
being kicked out of a church.
00:24:53.40\00:24:56.03
I am still standing believing,
praising, and sharing,
00:24:56.86\00:25:00.73
I know God is
working in our lives.
00:25:01.66\00:25:03.60
Brother I want to
thank you so much for your
00:25:05.16\00:25:07.76
love of God, and your
faith in him, and your steady
00:25:07.76\00:25:11.30
perseverance.
Emmanuel of course,
00:25:11.30\00:25:21.26
who built the church was
just telling me that three
00:25:21.26\00:25:23.56
times a year I guess
they get to see a pastor
00:25:23.56\00:25:25.86
that's it. A shepherd
only comes in and unfortunately
00:25:25.86\00:25:29.10
right now his radio is
broken, so he doesn't even
00:25:29.10\00:25:30.90
get to the sermons
for AWR at the moment.
00:25:30.90\00:25:33.33
But his son Isaiah
wants to be a pastor.
00:25:34.00\00:25:36.40
I think it's all fantastic
that we want to write now,
00:25:37.40\00:25:40.00
we are going to have a
prayer for this young man,
00:25:40.00\00:25:42.03
for the people of this
village that God can bless them,
00:25:42.03\00:25:44.73
hopefully bring
them another radio,
00:25:44.73\00:25:46.33
and get a pastor
here a little more often.
00:25:46.33\00:25:48.73
Why don't we have a
prayer right now, shall we.
00:25:49.90\00:25:51.63
He spend his own
money, used his own time
00:25:55.30\00:25:57.60
and labor to build not a
tomb, but a house of worship
00:25:57.60\00:26:00.96
designed to unselfishly
guide many souls to the true
00:26:00.96\00:26:04.50
eternal afterlife.
He understood the words
00:26:04.50\00:26:07.90
of Jesus found in
Luke 12:34 "For where your
00:26:07.90\00:26:11.33
treasure is, there
will your heart be also."
00:26:11.33\00:26:14.03
On the last day of
creation God rested,
00:26:16.50\00:26:18.76
he called it the Sabbath.
Jesus kept the Sabbath also.
00:26:18.76\00:26:23.26
In fact he called
himself the Lord of the Sabbath.
00:26:23.26\00:26:27.16
Emmanuel the man in
our story today discovered
00:26:28.23\00:26:30.90
the wonderful,
beautiful truth of the Sabbath
00:26:31.73\00:26:33.80
through listening to
AWR programs, and in this
00:26:33.80\00:26:37.10
world of busyness and
stress, the Sabbath is a
00:26:37.10\00:26:40.43
wonderful gift to give
us a break, and enable us to
00:26:40.43\00:26:44.10
commune with our
God. We thank you for your
00:26:44.10\00:26:47.36
support of AWR, so
that we can reach more
00:26:47.36\00:26:50.50
and more people around
the world for Jesus Christ
00:26:50.50\00:26:53.80
and his truth. If you
