- 0:01Speaker 1: The Week in Bible Prophecy, a Prophecy Watchers podcast.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Welcome to the program today, everybody. Mondo Gonzalez here in
- 0:12Speaker 2: studio with Jim Barfield.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Welcome Jim, thank you very much.
- 0:16Speaker 2: And so for those in our audience they might not
- 0:19Speaker 2: know anything about you and your background. We're going to
- 0:22Speaker 2: be talking a lot about the Dead Sea Scrolls today,
- 0:25Speaker 2: the Copper Scroll, other things, the journey that you've had
- 0:29Speaker 2: in the land of Israel, which hasn't always been pleasant,
- 0:33Speaker 2: but nevertheless we are living in super exciting times.
- 0:39Speaker 1: I think.
- 0:41Speaker 2: As we think about, just as a little bit of
- 0:42Speaker 2: background for people, the Dead Sea Scrolls was discovered in
- 0:46Speaker 2: the late forties early fifties, held up for a long time.
- 0:49Speaker 2: I remember being in school and waiting for the information
- 0:53Speaker 2: to be released by scholars who kept it hidden. And
- 0:57Speaker 2: then it wasn't until the mid nineties when Herschel Shanks
- 1:00Speaker 2: I decided to print some things from bar the magazine
- 1:04Speaker 2: and unloaded everything. And so since then they've been a
- 1:07Speaker 2: little bit more open for things that have been discovered.
- 1:10Speaker 2: So we're going to be talking about again the Copper
- 1:14Speaker 2: Scroll and what it means and what it is. But
- 1:16Speaker 2: I got to introduce yourself to the audience who might
- 1:19Speaker 2: not know anything about you. Give us, you know, give
- 1:21Speaker 2: us a five minute intro to you and what you've
- 1:23Speaker 2: been doing.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Yeah again, I'm Jim Barfield. I'm from in Oklahoma, just
- 1:27Speaker 1: down street here and got I love Bible study still
- 1:33Speaker 1: to this day. I loved Bible study and that's what
- 1:35Speaker 1: got me into this. I started studying and I found
- 1:39Speaker 1: the Dead Sea Scrolls. I cannot tell you why, but
- 1:43Speaker 1: I immediately loved them. And honestly, I can't tell you why,
- 1:47Speaker 1: because what I wanted. I had a real hunger for
- 1:51Speaker 1: biblical information. All this other stuff is great, but the
- 1:54Speaker 1: Biblical information is what I wanted. So I started studying
- 1:57Speaker 1: the Dead Sea Scrolls. Well, then I I went on
- 2:00Speaker 1: I went online and I was on a radio program
- 2:04Speaker 1: out of Bethele, Israel, and there's a lady by the
- 2:09Speaker 1: name of Tomorrow Tomorrow and I had the program there,
- 2:11Speaker 1: but there was another lady was doing the class. She
- 2:13Speaker 1: was doing a class and she was teaching Biblical information
- 2:19Speaker 1: from a historic a Hebrew perspective. Loved it, so I
- 2:23Speaker 1: go in and signed in. I signed in Jim, Apache, Okay,
- 2:27Speaker 1: which is where I'm from, Apache, Oklahoma. I thought to
- 2:30Speaker 1: be a good name, so I plugged it in, and
- 2:32Speaker 1: about five minutes into the program, she said, Jim, where
- 2:37Speaker 1: are you from. There's about twenty people in there. I said, well,
- 2:40Speaker 1: I'm from Apache, Oklahoma, and she left. She said, you
- 2:43Speaker 1: kidding me? I said, Now, she said, I'm from Elgin, Oklahoma,
- 2:49Speaker 1: which is, you know, at best, twelve miles apart. And
- 2:53Speaker 1: now she's teaching out of Bethel. But Bethel, she is
- 2:57Speaker 1: doing it by long distance on the so she said,
- 3:03Speaker 1: let's get together. And she didn't tell the truth about
- 3:06Speaker 1: where she lived. I didn't tell the truth either. I
- 3:08Speaker 1: was I was about I was about eight miles from Apache,
- 3:12Speaker 1: and she was about six miles from Apache. We lived
- 3:17Speaker 1: two miles while. Yeah, my son we would we'd do
- 3:21Speaker 1: we do sbot and they would blow they show far
- 3:25Speaker 1: on Friday evenings and my son in law would get
- 3:28Speaker 1: right there in the same neighborhood. She said it was
- 3:30Speaker 1: driving me crazy. She said I couldn't because she was
- 3:33Speaker 1: Jewish Orthodox. Shoot, she said, I ken't wondering who in
- 3:37Speaker 1: the world is blowing this ship far around here?
- 3:40Speaker 3: She would hear it.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, guys, my son is about a block
- 3:43Speaker 1: from her, and my mother my son in law and
- 3:45Speaker 1: my daughter were about.
- 3:46Speaker 3: I mean, they carry quite far.
- 3:48Speaker 1: It was crazy. That's how I got engrossed in the
- 3:51Speaker 1: Copper Scroll. I wanted to show I do biblical chronology
- 3:55Speaker 1: as well. I wanted to show the guy's The guy's
- 3:58Speaker 1: name was Vindall Jones, remember here it well. He found
- 4:02Speaker 1: out that I wanted to come visit with him. He said,
- 4:04Speaker 1: come on, So we go, my son, his wife, my
- 4:08Speaker 1: two grandchildren, Laurie. We go and they hosted us for
- 4:12Speaker 1: the weekend and we had a.
- 4:13Speaker 3: Wonderful Where were you at where'd you go to Israel?
- 4:16Speaker 1: No?
- 4:16Speaker 3: Oh, just just at their locations? Okay, okay in Texas.
- 4:19Speaker 1: I think it's grand Field, grand View, one of them that.
- 4:22Speaker 1: And so we go down there and talk with him.
- 4:24Speaker 1: He starts telling me about the Copper Scroll. I knew
- 4:27Speaker 1: about it. I'd read it because it's the Dead Sea Scroll.
- 4:30Speaker 1: And it bored me to tears because I can see
- 4:32Speaker 1: that look here, find this, and then go here to
- 4:35Speaker 1: find this, gems on and on rom and I thought, well,
- 4:40Speaker 1: I'll see what he's got. So I got to talking
- 4:43Speaker 1: to the guy and he said, I said, Vina, I'm
- 4:46Speaker 1: just not interested. He said, you don't understand. What do
- 4:49Speaker 1: you like? And I said, prophecy I like, And he said, okay,
- 4:54Speaker 1: he said, I promise you it's got as much profity
- 4:57Speaker 1: as you're going to find. It is directly related to this.
- 5:00Speaker 1: They he and I agreed on that. I believed it
- 5:04Speaker 1: was a time at the time of Jeremiah. He bless
- 5:07Speaker 1: what he believed as well, and I still they absolutely
- 5:10Speaker 1: believe that. Well, the next thing we got into was,
- 5:15Speaker 1: you know, what all was involved in it. He began
- 5:18Speaker 1: to tell me that.
- 5:19Speaker 3: His like his view on what the Copper School meant
- 5:23Speaker 3: and what it meant.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Where the location was for all that he believed it
- 5:27Speaker 1: was like it was almost exactly one mile from the
- 5:31Speaker 1: ruins of Kumoran up north. He thought that that was
- 5:34Speaker 1: the center of all.
- 5:35Speaker 2: So he so, but he still put he put the
- 5:38Speaker 2: location of I mean, the Copper School obviously is believed
- 5:40Speaker 2: to be from the scenes so down there in Camoran.
- 5:43Speaker 2: So he believed that the location of I mean, it's
- 5:46Speaker 2: a treasure map for those that don't know that, it's
- 5:48Speaker 2: only some instructions. So he believed it was close there,
- 5:51Speaker 2: he one mile away close.
- 5:53Speaker 1: And I told him, I said, well, okay, at the time,
- 5:57Speaker 1: I had not got into it. Well, I was in
- 6:00Speaker 1: investigator and I did well. I was investigating here for
- 6:03Speaker 1: Oklahoma and investigated your international so I'll even bid out these.
- 6:08Speaker 2: Writings that was and you so for You didn't mention it,
- 6:11Speaker 2: but you were a fire fire fire investigator, fire investigator, okay.
- 6:14Speaker 1: And I had all the other things that go along
- 6:16Speaker 1: with it, like public speaking that sort of stuff. But
- 6:20Speaker 1: my favorite thing was to do fire investigation. Well, I thought,
- 6:23Speaker 1: you know what I did. I did pretty good at this.
- 6:26Speaker 1: And after I met with Bendall, we had our discussions.
- 6:29Speaker 1: I couldn't understand his research, and I even asked him
- 6:32Speaker 1: to Benda, but where's your research? I'm your writings up here?
- 6:39Speaker 1: And I thought, oh my gosh, because if you're going
- 6:42Speaker 1: to do an investigation, regardless of whether it's a doctor,
- 6:45Speaker 1: you know, searching to find a problem, you've got to
- 6:48Speaker 1: have documentation. He didn't have any. If he did have any,
- 6:51Speaker 1: he never did produce them with me. So I really
- 6:55Speaker 1: liked the guy, but his I didn't understand necessarily well
- 7:00Speaker 1: his findings methods. I don't know what his methods were actually,
- 7:05Speaker 1: but I decided, you know, I'm going to give it
- 7:07Speaker 1: a try. I got home we watched Indiana Jones when
- 7:10Speaker 1: we got home and that story up. Hey, yeah it did,
- 7:14Speaker 1: and we my grandkids loved it. So I started about
- 7:20Speaker 1: six months later. It was in April that I just
- 7:25Speaker 1: decided to go visit with bendaal well, it was and
- 7:27Speaker 1: I retired about that time. So December the twenty first
- 7:32Speaker 1: or twenty second, one or two, I don't remember. I thought,
- 7:37Speaker 1: why not? What year? Roughly was this two thousand and six.
- 7:40Speaker 1: It was cold, horrible, go and I thought, well, I'm
- 7:44Speaker 1: going to give me a hot cup of coffee and
- 7:46Speaker 1: sit down here and see if I can figure this
- 7:47Speaker 1: thing out. So I set it down. I got it,
- 7:50Speaker 1: and I thought, well, I'm gonna start at the beginning.
- 7:53Speaker 1: And one of the things my wife laughs about is,
- 7:55Speaker 1: you know, I'm bad about not following instructions. If I'm
- 7:59Speaker 1: putting a swings say or whatever it might be, just
- 8:00Speaker 1: put it together. Who needs you? Always have extra parts.
- 8:05Speaker 1: That's a good thing. So I started in on that
- 8:08Speaker 1: thing and it said first line says under the ruins
- 8:13Speaker 1: in the valley of a Core. I said, Okay, there's
- 8:17Speaker 1: a set of runs somewhere in the valley of a
- 8:19Speaker 1: core that I need to figure out. Where it's at.
- 8:21Speaker 1: And I did all this study in with the Didz
- 8:24Speaker 1: scrolls come wrong? Why not, I'll start with that I did.
- 8:28Speaker 1: I started with that and it said under the runs
- 8:30Speaker 1: of the valley Corps at the steps heading east forty cubans,
- 8:34Speaker 1: meaning the step from the steps to the end of
- 8:37Speaker 1: that pool, which it was rectangular long. It was forty cubans.
- 8:43Speaker 1: So I broke out my calculator, did the math on
- 8:46Speaker 1: it for how long a cubit was and how long
- 8:48Speaker 1: it had be. Then I got the scale that they
- 8:51Speaker 1: had provided with that picture, and I just so happened
- 8:54Speaker 1: to a guy by the name of volpel Egg and
- 8:59Speaker 1: yet talk Moggan Jitsuk was the top guy in all
- 9:04Speaker 1: of the West Bank, and you've all was the top
- 9:06Speaker 1: guy for kum Ran. They had just published the work
- 9:09Speaker 1: like a month before I started doing my research. So
- 9:13Speaker 1: I pulled it up online and hey, this is great.
- 9:16Speaker 1: It's got all these measurements, and they did they had
- 9:18Speaker 1: that particular pool and they gave you the measurements and
- 9:21Speaker 1: I did the math on it. Guess what it was?
- 9:24Speaker 1: Forty cubits long. I said, well, that's that's neat, but
- 9:29Speaker 1: it's nothing about its conclusive, so I thought, I'll go
- 9:34Speaker 1: to the next one. So I went to the next
- 9:36Speaker 1: one and it said it said at the peristyle at
- 9:41Speaker 1: the large peristyle at the north end of the community. Uh,
- 9:46Speaker 1: there's And it gave at least ten clues. It's like
- 9:49Speaker 1: a fingerprint. If you're lift fingerprints and I have you
- 9:54Speaker 1: want as many matches as you could possibly get. Oh
- 9:58Speaker 1: my gosh, it had gazillion matches on there. And it
- 10:03Speaker 1: also had when I started looking, it matched up so incredibly. Well,
- 10:11Speaker 1: there was nine hundred talents you know, which silent was.
- 10:15Speaker 3: Yeah, usually between seventy five pounds one hundred pounds.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, yeah, nine hundred nine hundred.
- 10:22Speaker 3: So you figure out a couple of zeros on there.
- 10:25Speaker 1: Well, since I've since I've been working on it, I've
- 10:29Speaker 1: had to renew it, renew it, renewed. My math on it.
- 10:32Speaker 1: It was like one billion, two hundred thousand or two
- 10:36Speaker 1: hundred million.
- 10:37Speaker 2: So just to step back from and because I love
- 10:41Speaker 2: the militia, the copper scroll is describing wealth. Maybe explain
- 10:51Speaker 2: explain where where where'd the wealth come from?
- 10:56Speaker 3: What do we know? And what's it about? I mean,
- 10:58Speaker 3: is this explain that for the audience.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Yeah, most of your archaeologists and guys that did this study,
- 11:07Speaker 1: they think it's Second Temple, Second Temple and maloney, No way,
- 11:15Speaker 1: all the evidence, all of the writings about it is
- 11:18Speaker 1: First Temple period.
- 11:20Speaker 2: So this this would have been wealth that was stowed
- 11:23Speaker 2: away or hidden before the Babylonian captivity.
- 11:27Speaker 1: Oh yes, okay, absolutely, matter of fact, it was stored there. Well,
- 11:31Speaker 1: probably one hundred, two hundred more or even more. There's
- 11:35Speaker 1: one building that's there. It's a big if you look
- 11:38Speaker 1: from the sky straight down on it, it's square in shape. However,
- 11:43Speaker 1: it's it's it's like a pyramid. It slopes up. All
- 11:47Speaker 1: the walls slope up. Uh, they slope like a like
- 11:51Speaker 1: a pyramid, and it's like to cut the top off
- 11:53Speaker 1: of the pyramid. Now they didn't. They built it that way,
- 11:57Speaker 1: and that is where they store. The walls on the
- 12:01Speaker 1: thing are about twelve feet thick. Now, why would you
- 12:04Speaker 1: make walls twelve feet thick unless you had something to hide.
- 12:08Speaker 1: They did. That's where they stored a vast amount of gold, silver, gems,
- 12:15Speaker 1: and just all kinds of really precious stuff. They stored
- 12:18Speaker 1: it inside of that building. Well, the year that Nebukanazar
- 12:23Speaker 1: became king of Babylon. The year he became king of Babylon,
- 12:27Speaker 1: I did all the math on this. He apparently attacked
- 12:32Speaker 1: Kumrang and one of the first things that he attacked.
- 12:35Speaker 1: He didn't attack inside of Jerusalem. He didn't attack anywhere else.
- 12:39Speaker 1: It is right there. He almost won the battle.
- 12:46Speaker 3: He almost found it.
- 12:47Speaker 1: Oh yeah, had he won that battle, the Israel would
- 12:51Speaker 1: have lost everything in that building. And it was an
- 12:56Speaker 1: incredible amount of gold, silver and gems and artifact. As
- 13:01Speaker 1: a matter of fact, if like again, if I'm right,
- 13:04Speaker 1: there's one particular spot that is a cave. In that
- 13:10Speaker 1: cave they it says in second McCabe, second chapter, it
- 13:14Speaker 1: says whenever Jeremiah again second first infle period said Jeremiah
- 13:20Speaker 1: was traveling to Mountain Nebo. He was going thither. Thither
- 13:24Speaker 1: means he was en route too. Well, guess what is
- 13:28Speaker 1: right en route to Mountain Nebo from Jerusalem from Jullior
- 13:32Speaker 1: Lusalem to Mountain Nebo. You just a little bit, so
- 13:36Speaker 1: it's not far off the road. It's well, you don't
- 13:38Speaker 1: go on the road. There's a path. And I don't
- 13:41Speaker 1: want to get into just a second, but we will
- 13:44Speaker 1: is you remember the Olzazel go Yeah, where.
- 13:50Speaker 3: They pushed I've actually been there to that site he's at.
- 13:53Speaker 1: Where was it at? Uh?
- 13:55Speaker 3: What was in the central Judeine Hills.
- 13:58Speaker 2: I'll explain that, like okay, but at least I've been
- 14:02Speaker 2: to a traditional site, the.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Traditional Joe Good, the guy that we were talking about
- 14:06Speaker 1: earlier before we came out, Joe said, Jimmy, I don't
- 14:09Speaker 1: I don't know why they picked that spot. That's what
- 14:12Speaker 1: they said. What are you going to do? Is Mike
- 14:14Speaker 1: the goat mad by shiving it down?
- 14:16Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 14:16Speaker 2: When I saw the site, I was actually like, oh ridiculous,
- 14:19Speaker 2: I said, I could run down this thing. It's all like,
- 14:21Speaker 2: it's going to be better than I I could. Yeah, No,
- 14:24Speaker 2: it wasn't. It wasn't the traditional side I was at. Yeah,
- 14:27Speaker 2: it's I know exactly what you're talking about.
- 14:29Speaker 1: Well, we'll talk about that in a minute. But they
- 14:33Speaker 1: en route to Mountain Abel where you passed right by Kumrong,
- 14:38Speaker 1: because there's a direct shot from Jerusalem from the Mangate
- 14:42Speaker 1: straight down through the going to the east, and the
- 14:46Speaker 1: distance is exactly as its prescribed for the goat exactly.
- 14:53Speaker 1: And not only that, but back to your point, you
- 14:57Speaker 1: have to pass right by Kumrong. That's how we know.
- 15:01Speaker 1: That's one of the many, many, many clues as to
- 15:05Speaker 1: why kum Run has got to be the place.
- 15:07Speaker 3: So we have just so people can follow along.
- 15:09Speaker 2: You have the Copper Scroll, which again is has a
- 15:13Speaker 2: list of all these treasures that were hidden again first
- 15:17Speaker 2: Temple period, and then you have second Maccabees, which again
- 15:20Speaker 2: is not scripture, but it's it's it's a historical.
- 15:22Speaker 3: Record that we see a good historical record.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Of Jeremiah bringing, hiding, going and taking the wealth so
- 15:30Speaker 2: that Nebukinezer doesn't get it at least second. Second second
- 15:34Speaker 2: Mackie's two on his way to Mount Eva. So you
- 15:36Speaker 2: have these kinds of correlations. So let's go back. So
- 15:38Speaker 2: just so people, that's where we're at. So now you're
- 15:40Speaker 2: looking at the scroll and you find you find the
- 15:44Speaker 2: first correspondence like hey this this, this goes this interesting,
- 15:47Speaker 2: it seems to fit, and then you go on, okay,
- 15:51Speaker 2: so keep going.
- 15:52Speaker 1: Second one was the gold and then the third one.
- 15:56Speaker 1: The third one was the cave I was telling you about.
- 16:00Speaker 1: It says, it gives a description and it tells what's
- 16:05Speaker 1: in there and what's in there. The biggest thing, that
- 16:08Speaker 1: most important thing that at that time that was in
- 16:11Speaker 1: there is the breastplate of the High Priest, of the
- 16:15Speaker 1: High Priest, and for the day of Atonement, that's what
- 16:18Speaker 1: he wore, that breastplate, and that is the one that
- 16:21Speaker 1: whenever the High Priest would go out there, he would
- 16:23Speaker 1: do the you know, the spot thing, and one of
- 16:26Speaker 1: the breastplate stones would light up and there'd be an
- 16:28Speaker 1: oracle come for nothing spooky about it, that's yeah. Then
- 16:35Speaker 1: after I found that one, I thought, this is bizarre. Now.
- 16:40Speaker 1: One of the things that after I got all the
- 16:42Speaker 1: way done with the research, I was at the like
- 16:46Speaker 1: the second to the last point, there's fifty seven of them.
- 16:52Speaker 1: I noticed something, but those the last thing it plays
- 16:55Speaker 1: directly into this part. I noticed that location number fifty three,
- 17:00Speaker 1: fifty four, and fifty five, we're a straight line. I thought,
- 17:06Speaker 1: wait a minute, I thought, what about location number one,
- 17:10Speaker 1: two and three. I'm gonna go check it. So I
- 17:14Speaker 1: stopped that shifted side, got my map out and marked
- 17:17Speaker 1: them on. I drew a line, I took a pencil on.
- 17:20Speaker 1: I drew a line with a straight edge, and the
- 17:25Speaker 1: I poked holes in each one of them. And that
- 17:27Speaker 1: straight edge of pencil would drop in those holes. That's
- 17:31Speaker 1: how straight it was. There were three of them and
- 17:34Speaker 1: a perfectly straight line, and the last one was the cave.
- 17:37Speaker 1: Now this is the last five I was telling you about.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Fifty three fifty four feet five beat six fifty seven again,
- 17:45Speaker 1: drew a straight line and it went right to that
- 17:47Speaker 1: cave where I believe the cave is at. And I thought,
- 17:52Speaker 1: oh my gosh. These guys were telling whoever figured this,
- 17:56Speaker 1: coppers grow out, here's how you find it. Bud just
- 18:01Speaker 1: just followed the yellow brick road, and that's exactly what
- 18:04Speaker 1: I did. And I thought, and I just I got cold, Shiels,
- 18:09Speaker 1: Did you realize what is happening there? Whoever these guys
- 18:13Speaker 1: were and I know who the two of them, they
- 18:16Speaker 1: were biblical profits, but there are three others. There was
- 18:19Speaker 1: five minute that wrote this cover girl. I thought, oh
- 18:23Speaker 1: my gosh, whoever did this last five? Because there's only
- 18:27Speaker 1: five They had different amounts, but the last guy only
- 18:31Speaker 1: had five locations to bury. That guy was talking to me,
- 18:38Speaker 1: I was the guy that figured it out, and he said,
- 18:40Speaker 1: I got to leave this. I got to make sure
- 18:42Speaker 1: they understand it because the most important things of all
- 18:45Speaker 1: are inside of that cave. And if I'm right, they
- 18:49Speaker 1: were talking to me. They were saying, you got to
- 18:52Speaker 1: find this stuff, buddy.
- 18:53Speaker 2: And so let's step back for a second. And I know, typically,
- 18:58Speaker 2: or you can tell me the most of this time,
- 19:04Speaker 2: when you read the commentary on the Copper Scroll, generally
- 19:09Speaker 2: it's like, well, this was potentially written to cause anybody
- 19:16Speaker 2: that found it to be searching around and just to
- 19:19Speaker 2: mislead them, et cetera, et cetera. There's kind of a
- 19:23Speaker 2: I would say that in my reading that most of
- 19:26Speaker 2: the scholarship don't think that this is even realistic. It's fantasy, okay,
- 19:32Speaker 2: for whatever reason, which again they think a lot of
- 19:37Speaker 2: the Bibles, you know, not that this is the Bible,
- 19:38Speaker 2: but they think the Bible's fantasy too, So I don't
- 19:40Speaker 2: necessarily care. But where has there been any other theories
- 19:46Speaker 2: then before you came along of where this copper school
- 19:51Speaker 2: the reference of where they thought it might be then
- 19:54Speaker 2: Jones okay, well.
- 19:56Speaker 1: He too thought it was scattered of work except for
- 19:58Speaker 1: one location, called it the cave of the call them,
- 20:01Speaker 1: and with great respect for the guy, I totally disagreed. Well,
- 20:07Speaker 1: then after after I started, I realized I've figured this out,
- 20:11Speaker 1: and I started talking on radio and talking on TV shows.
- 20:15Speaker 1: There's archaeologists got furious with me. They called me a crook,
- 20:21Speaker 1: they called me a liar, they called me everything but
- 20:24Speaker 1: a Mexican.
- 20:27Speaker 3: What were what were they upset about?
- 20:29Speaker 1: They were upset because they were doing And I'm telling
- 20:33Speaker 1: you there's a lot of these archaeologists say, wow, that's
- 20:37Speaker 1: treasure hunting. We don't want to think and in the
- 20:39Speaker 1: background they won't wait a minute, wait a minute, and
- 20:42Speaker 1: they want to find it.
- 20:43Speaker 3: Yeah, of course I do.
- 20:44Speaker 1: And how many of them have you seen and you've
- 20:46Speaker 1: been around? How many of them? Where the Indiana Jones
- 20:49Speaker 1: hat got the best, got the whip.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Every arch that I mean, I've I've again my backgrounds
- 20:58Speaker 2: in archaeology. Every archaeology is a treasure hunter to some degree,
- 21:02Speaker 2: whether it's whether it's truth, whether.
- 21:04Speaker 3: It's artifacts we wanted, we want to uncover the truth.
- 21:07Speaker 3: That's pressure.
- 21:09Speaker 2: But it's not necessarily that, uh and I and I
- 21:12Speaker 2: you know, just so people will get to this later.
- 21:14Speaker 2: But Shelanice wrote a book, uh called what's it's called
- 21:20Speaker 2: the Copper Squall, the Copper Scope Project, and so very
- 21:23Speaker 2: good books. You took a job highlighting some of the
- 21:25Speaker 2: things that we're discussing. But I remember reading in there
- 21:28Speaker 2: that it's easy for these comments to be made, these
- 21:33Speaker 2: you know, criticism, Oh you know, Jim's just a treasure hunter.
- 21:36Speaker 2: Well again, as you just said, everybody's out, but you
- 21:39Speaker 2: weren't looking to lose this to put it in your
- 21:40Speaker 2: own pocket. You were looking to share this with the world,
- 21:43Speaker 2: right and certainly for Israel. So these are just the
- 21:47Speaker 2: criticism that people have in order to try to I think,
- 21:51Speaker 2: censor ideas.
- 21:53Speaker 1: They tried to shut me down.
- 21:54Speaker 2: So so, so talk about that, I think for so
- 21:57Speaker 2: you you were the first one to overlay the copper
- 22:01Speaker 2: scroll information on the site of Kumran itself, yes, okay,
- 22:06Speaker 2: and to recognize, hey, there's correlation here.
- 22:09Speaker 3: And then so.
- 22:11Speaker 2: Talk about then what you did next in the sense
- 22:14Speaker 2: of archaeologically even going to Israel looking at things and
- 22:19Speaker 2: then trying to develop a plan in order to go
- 22:22Speaker 2: there and confirm some of this stuff with technology, with
- 22:25Speaker 2: GPR or anything on ground penetrananor kind of talk about
- 22:28Speaker 2: that what happened then.
- 22:30Speaker 1: The first thing that I did was it's like I
- 22:34Speaker 1: told you in the very beginning, you know, followed the instructions. Seriously,
- 22:39Speaker 1: had all these other guys, these big shots and with
- 22:43Speaker 1: all the new respect if ed they followed the instructions
- 22:47Speaker 1: under the ruins and the value of the court once
- 22:49Speaker 1: it ruins, and then let's think about it logically, that's
- 22:53Speaker 1: tons and tons and tons of very precious stuff. They're
- 22:59Speaker 1: not going to be carrying it around. And I told
- 23:01Speaker 1: a guy this morning that mad with he. I said,
- 23:03Speaker 1: they didn't interview hoole trucks back then. Dad. He back
- 23:08Speaker 1: donkey or carts or a combination though, I said, that's it.
- 23:13Speaker 1: So they're not going to be carrying it or dragging
- 23:15Speaker 1: it all over the country to bury it in Solomon's
- 23:19Speaker 1: garden or whatever.
- 23:20Speaker 2: Well, especially because this area is so remote, it would
- 23:22Speaker 2: be a great place to hardly anybody goes out to
- 23:26Speaker 2: the desert anyway.
- 23:27Speaker 3: Generally.
- 23:29Speaker 1: I did a TV show with Yaho to gleke you
- 23:32Speaker 1: ever heard? Yeah? Oh yeah, great guy, A very nice fellow.
- 23:36Speaker 1: He said, Jimmy, if I was going to hide the
- 23:38Speaker 1: Temple treasures or the Ark of the Covenant, that's where
- 23:41Speaker 1: I hunt it. He said. It's got all the smart
- 23:44Speaker 1: things about it. It's secluded. Yep, it's you know, it's
- 23:48Speaker 1: thirteen miles away from Jerusalem. It's not a real traveled area,
- 23:52Speaker 1: so guess what. But it was that is using common
- 23:57Speaker 1: sense and following the instruction. That's really how I found it.
- 24:03Speaker 1: And as I as I went along there, within within
- 24:07Speaker 1: five minutes, I knew how to understand the Coffer scrum.
- 24:10Speaker 1: Didn't know, I knew, but that's what I was doing.
- 24:13Speaker 1: And then within twenty minutes had the first five locations
- 24:16Speaker 1: figured out. That's what made me second guess. I said, I'll.
- 24:20Speaker 3: Wait a minute, like I could it be this easy? Yeah?
- 24:23Speaker 1: How come it's so easy? And all these other guys
- 24:25Speaker 1: didn't find it? Well, they didn't. And I just kept
- 24:30Speaker 1: applying the same technique because the kind of the way
- 24:33Speaker 1: it reads is this, it's in ancient Hebrew. So I
- 24:38Speaker 1: broke out a strong schoolcordance. That's what I did on
- 24:42Speaker 1: my home. My Bible says, I thought, I'll work on here.
- 24:45Speaker 1: The only problem was I was getting older and my
- 24:47Speaker 1: guys weren't as good as it used to be. And
- 24:48Speaker 1: you know, I remember I was small Hebrew letters and
- 24:51Speaker 1: I'm squinting and reading magnifying it, and I would go
- 24:55Speaker 1: word by word by word, and every time I found one,
- 25:00Speaker 1: and I took the word and the translation for it,
- 25:04Speaker 1: and I would plug it in, plug it in, excellent, excellently. Well,
- 25:07Speaker 1: once I got so far through it, about less than
- 25:09Speaker 1: a third way through it, all the works for gold, silver,
- 25:15Speaker 1: and I plugged them in under the hut, all these
- 25:18Speaker 1: words I just started, then I can find it and
- 25:19Speaker 1: plug them in real easing. Well, it got quicker and
- 25:21Speaker 1: quicker and quicker as I went down through that, and
- 25:24Speaker 1: it worked fantastic. But it's using a system too, and
- 25:31Speaker 1: using some logic. That's how I figured this thing out.
- 25:35Speaker 2: Well, I think also what I've seen is, uh, you know,
- 25:39Speaker 2: archaeology is is there's data, there's again all kinds of
- 25:43Speaker 2: material culture you find, but then you get into sometimes
- 25:46Speaker 2: your presuppositions. You're like, well, clearly it wouldn't be there,
- 25:51Speaker 2: you know, because that's you know, we've done archaeology there,
- 25:53Speaker 2: no one's found anything. And so then you just move
- 25:55Speaker 2: on and you tend to you tend to find yourself
- 25:59Speaker 2: in a bum where you don't entertain, you kind of lose.
- 26:02Speaker 2: I've seen it where sometimes people even they'll lose the
- 26:06Speaker 2: curiosity or the willingness say well, let me go back
- 26:08Speaker 2: and just check that again.
- 26:11Speaker 3: And so here you you you were able to do it.
- 26:12Speaker 2: And then okay, so you're you're figuring all this out
- 26:15Speaker 2: and then you think I got to do something, So
- 26:18Speaker 2: then what do you do?
- 26:20Speaker 1: Well, the biggest thing I had to do is I
- 26:22Speaker 1: had to see it for myself. So my wife and
- 26:25Speaker 1: I loaded up. We took a backpack apiece and dragged
- 26:33Speaker 1: some money out of my savings count and we haited
- 26:36Speaker 1: for Israel. Got there. We had no place to stay,
- 26:41Speaker 1: no plans, We just wanted to go and it was
- 26:46Speaker 1: made for an interesting story. We got there and this
- 26:50Speaker 1: this couple picked us up as we got off the
- 26:52Speaker 1: train from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. We got off, this
- 26:57Speaker 1: couple saw us and they came over just like, hey,
- 26:59Speaker 1: you guys want to with us? We got to We're
- 27:01Speaker 1: going to get a taxi and said yeah, we'll go.
- 27:04Speaker 1: So we did. We jumped in the taxi. We went
- 27:07Speaker 1: to Jerusalem, went to the went into one of the
- 27:12Speaker 1: main gates. You know where they going into Kotel Oh, yeah, yeah,
- 27:17Speaker 1: well that's where we went. We got out. We get
- 27:19Speaker 1: out there and we went in and I thought, man,
- 27:21Speaker 1: this is a this is a really popular place because
- 27:25Speaker 1: there were satellite dishes everywhere, and there were just all
- 27:28Speaker 1: kinds of ruckets going on.
- 27:30Speaker 3: So this was roughly what year two it was.
- 27:33Speaker 1: It was December of two thousand No, I'm sorry, February
- 27:36Speaker 1: of two thousand and seven.
- 27:38Speaker 3: OK.
- 27:39Speaker 1: Well, we got there at a really bad time. Palestinians
- 27:43Speaker 1: were having riots, and we just thought it was a
- 27:46Speaker 1: very popular place. So you know where we go. Have
- 27:50Speaker 1: you ever heard of the I know you've heard of
- 27:52Speaker 1: the gate. Let's see the Jaffa Gate.
- 27:57Speaker 3: Oh yeah, on the west side. Yeah.
- 27:59Speaker 1: Yeah. We go there and we get us a room
- 28:02Speaker 1: that Joppa Gate hostile, hostile. Yeah, you need boat spray
- 28:08Speaker 1: if you're going to go say.
- 28:09Speaker 3: It's every word of hostile.
- 28:13Speaker 1: So we did, we get it. And I was a
- 28:16Speaker 1: fire investigator, but I was also I did checking the
- 28:20Speaker 1: codes make sure building. So I get in this room
- 28:24Speaker 1: and I'm going to Laurie, this is an absolute fire trap.
- 28:30Speaker 1: The walls are like this thick. You had to have
- 28:33Speaker 1: the key to open the door and close the door.
- 28:36Speaker 1: That is a big code violation. No sprinkler systems, And
- 28:40Speaker 1: I said, oh my goodness. We slept one night there
- 28:44Speaker 1: because we were just exhausted, and then we then we went.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Found us a hotel but it was cold, yeah it was.
- 28:53Speaker 1: And make sure some.
- 28:54Speaker 3: Good store I've been in thosed myself.
- 28:56Speaker 1: Yep. But the biggest thing again is you know, use
- 29:00Speaker 1: the system, using a method of doing this. Matter of fact,
- 29:05Speaker 1: one of the guys was really really not nice. He
- 29:09Speaker 1: was a pH d guy. He just called me everything
- 29:14Speaker 1: he said. He said some morrible things, but I ignored him. Now,
- 29:19Speaker 1: my wife called me in Jerusalem or in Israel. She said,
- 29:24Speaker 1: there's this dirty guys saying all kinds of mean things
- 29:28Speaker 1: about you. And I said, it's going to happen.
- 29:31Speaker 3: It's gonna happen.
- 29:32Speaker 1: Just relax. And but you know, she was a mama
- 29:35Speaker 1: bears of course, protect her family. But that's it. That's
- 29:41Speaker 1: that was some of the most difficult things initially. Guess
- 29:45Speaker 1: what the same guy wanted to see my research? Well,
- 29:49Speaker 1: I put it online, just a portion of it online
- 29:52Speaker 1: for just a short period of time, and I had
- 29:55Speaker 1: it where he had to record the names and with
- 29:58Speaker 1: the colin coming from Guess who was one of the
- 30:01Speaker 1: first ones to get my research one hundred dollars bill
- 30:05Speaker 1: right now says he was looking to punch holes all
- 30:08Speaker 1: in it. Yep, Guess what I never heard from me again.
- 30:12Speaker 1: After that, He's thinking, oh my gosh, I've called him
- 30:16Speaker 1: all these name what's a defamation?
- 30:19Speaker 3: Yeah, of course.
- 30:22Speaker 1: I bet he was thinking, oh my god, because I
- 30:24Speaker 1: took I got every one of his articles with all
- 30:28Speaker 1: his slanderous and which one is it liable? That's a
- 30:31Speaker 1: written word? I think, yeah, yeah, And I thought, Okay, buddy,
- 30:37Speaker 1: someday you're going to regret what you did, the mean
- 30:40Speaker 1: things you did to me and my family. But God says,
- 30:44Speaker 1: what forgive?
- 30:46Speaker 3: Yep, forgive, yep, He'll take care of it.
- 30:48Speaker 1: After I get done with him. I'll forgive.
- 30:49Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. So let's fast forward just for the sake
- 30:54Speaker 3: of time.
- 30:55Speaker 2: So you you're there, you see it for yourself, and
- 30:59Speaker 2: then I know that eventually you go there and you
- 31:03Speaker 2: get marchaeologists that are that want to see your stuff
- 31:06Speaker 2: and they and they do, Yeah, they see you're was this?
- 31:12Speaker 1: I was teaching uh investigative report writing at Commanding Nation
- 31:17Speaker 1: College in Law in Oklahoma. That was my old grade school.
- 31:20Speaker 1: I went first through six There. There was the lady
- 31:24Speaker 1: that was number two in charge of that school. They
- 31:27Speaker 1: were doing a good job. She she wanted me to
- 31:31Speaker 1: come teach in the in the auditorium teach about my findings.
- 31:38Speaker 1: So they wanted to do it. They called it a
- 31:40Speaker 1: brown bag lunch and so we did. And after I
- 31:45Speaker 1: got done and she she called me in her office
- 31:47Speaker 1: and I'm ready to go home. That's the end of
- 31:48Speaker 1: the day. I want to go. She's a community and
- 31:51Speaker 1: she said, sit down there. She said, I think I
- 31:53Speaker 1: can help you with your with your project. And I'm
- 31:57Speaker 1: thinking a little commanche lady, sweethearted, old lady. She used
- 32:01Speaker 1: to teach my kids art years ago. And she said,
- 32:05Speaker 1: I can I can help you. I said, one need
- 32:07Speaker 1: a how are you one need a pataporny? How are
- 32:09Speaker 1: you going to help me with this? She said, I
- 32:12Speaker 1: know a guy that worked for the Antiquities Authority a
- 32:16Speaker 1: visual Yes, yeah, I said, well, she got my attention.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Then I said, one need a how do you know it?
- 32:23Speaker 1: Long story? And I'm going to go in all that
- 32:25Speaker 1: and she comes back around. I'm going, okay, I got
- 32:28Speaker 1: to go. I said, what's the guy's name? What does
- 32:31Speaker 1: he do? I said, is the a janitor? Literally is
- 32:35Speaker 1: the agenitator? She said no, he's the head of the
- 32:38Speaker 1: Antiquities Authority of Israel. I said what she said, yeah,
- 32:43Speaker 1: she said, we'll hung out together. My husband was a sponsor.
- 32:47Speaker 1: He was Jewish sponsored Israelis through the exchange program that
- 32:52Speaker 1: they had to learn artillery. Okay, guess what the guy
- 32:57Speaker 1: that was when he retired from the artillery and Israel
- 33:01Speaker 1: the army. Yeah, how that happened? I don't know.
- 33:05Speaker 3: That's often that they'll do their stuff and then going
- 33:07Speaker 3: to Chelsea.
- 33:08Speaker 1: And it's like Oklahoma, good old boy society. If you
- 33:11Speaker 1: know somebody, you know somebody. So she said, that's how
- 33:16Speaker 1: I'm That's how I met this guy. We're good friends.
- 33:18Speaker 1: So this night. We call each other all the time,
- 33:20Speaker 1: and he'd been years since they'd seen each other. She
- 33:23Speaker 1: called him, called his wife, which was even better. She
- 33:27Speaker 1: called her his wife, Talma Talma Dorfman. His name is
- 33:32Speaker 1: Chuka Dorfmann, head of the Antiquities Authoritium, and she said, Chuka,
- 33:37Speaker 1: you need to get this guy and let him sit
- 33:39Speaker 1: down and talk to you and explain what he's found.
- 33:41Speaker 1: He said, okay, one for you.
- 33:44Speaker 3: And he did.
- 33:45Speaker 1: He picked us up at the Zion Square just at
- 33:48Speaker 1: the bottom of your Benyahoda Street and uh, just a
- 33:52Speaker 1: lot one about one balk around. He picked us up
- 33:54Speaker 1: at that place, and he and he took took me
- 33:57Speaker 1: and Chris Knight, number two on the project, took us
- 34:00Speaker 1: to the Rockefeller Museum, took us up there and got
- 34:07Speaker 1: a seated. He had his son worked as a manager.
- 34:10Speaker 1: He set us all up a really nice big room
- 34:13Speaker 1: and overlooking the old city, which was great, and we
- 34:17Speaker 1: sat down. He said, he said, mister Barfield, what can
- 34:20Speaker 1: I do for you? I said, what's what I'm going
- 34:23Speaker 1: to do for you? And he said, and he said,
- 34:28Speaker 1: what are you going to do for me? I said,
- 34:29Speaker 1: if you heard the cover scroll? He said, of course,
- 34:31Speaker 1: of course, And I said I know how to understand it.
- 34:35Speaker 1: And you should have seen his face. Just here we go,
- 34:38Speaker 1: and he slid back in his chair. He said, okay,
- 34:43Speaker 1: And that's after we got to start. I was in
- 34:46Speaker 1: the artillery. He was an artillery. I went to flying
- 34:48Speaker 1: the connection. Yeah, and he flew fixed wing. So we
- 34:53Speaker 1: had several things common. So he said, let's see what
- 34:57Speaker 1: you got. So I broke out. I got a thick document.
- 35:00Speaker 1: I took it out and I opened it up to
- 35:02Speaker 1: the disclosure portion of it, opened it up, and I
- 35:06Speaker 1: slid it in front of him, and I kind of
- 35:08Speaker 1: slid around to the side where we could talk, and
- 35:12Speaker 1: I was reading it and I said, just watch. I
- 35:15Speaker 1: read the first one, and then the Ruins, the Valley
- 35:18Speaker 1: of Coor blah blah blah, number one, number two, and
- 35:22Speaker 1: number one he went like, what you got his interest?
- 35:26Speaker 1: Number two he slid that up and he said okay.
- 35:31Speaker 1: And then number three, number four he just said stop.
- 35:36Speaker 1: I mean he was pulling. He was pulling the book up.
- 35:39Speaker 1: He said stop. I thought he was angry. Seriously thought
- 35:42Speaker 1: he was angry. I thought, oh my gosh. That's when
- 35:46Speaker 1: he said, mister Barfield, can you come back here on Tuesday.
- 35:50Speaker 1: I'm setting up a meeting with ye suck Muggan and
- 35:53Speaker 1: you've all Pellig, two main guys for Kumrock and for
- 35:57Speaker 1: the entire West Bank and got a strip actually at
- 36:01Speaker 1: that time, and I said, of course I can't. So
- 36:05Speaker 1: came back in and I had I had seen this
- 36:08Speaker 1: rabbi really you would probably know his name, and so
- 36:12Speaker 1: I'm not going to mention him on TV right now.
- 36:14Speaker 1: But he said he saw my research, and you know,
- 36:18Speaker 1: he was doing the same thing. But the get away, well,
- 36:24Speaker 1: I talked to the rabbi and I said, I'm going
- 36:27Speaker 1: to see Shugar door and he said, man, he said,
- 36:30Speaker 1: you got to be careful of those guys. He really
- 36:32Speaker 1: didn't like the antiquities of the word. And I had
- 36:36Speaker 1: no nothing against them at all. But what I did
- 36:39Speaker 1: was be an investigator. You need to make records. So
- 36:43Speaker 1: I had my digital recorder and my buddy Chris had
- 36:47Speaker 1: it and he was recording the whole conversation will as
- 36:52Speaker 1: he was talking through that, and I showed him research.
- 36:56Speaker 1: You've all pel egged the archaeologist and Sugar here, it's
- 37:01Speaker 1: Mogan was over here.
- 37:02Speaker 3: Now you've come back. This is that Tuesday meeting with
- 37:04Speaker 3: the other guys.
- 37:05Speaker 1: Tuesday meeting and they were talking and they're talking back
- 37:10Speaker 1: and forth in Hebrew. I don't understand Hebrew, and he said,
- 37:16Speaker 1: he said, eve all. He said, oh my gosh, I
- 37:21Speaker 1: think this guy done it in Hebrew. And I didn't
- 37:24Speaker 1: know he Shuga Doorburn said, well tell him. He said, no, no, no, no,
- 37:29Speaker 1: I want to see more of what this guy's done.
- 37:32Speaker 1: And so he showed him about five of them. I
- 37:36Speaker 1: think maybe six. Anyway, I took that recording back and
- 37:40Speaker 1: I go back to the rabbi who did he did
- 37:43Speaker 1: an American broadcast to teaching about the temple and he
- 37:51Speaker 1: was listening. Got had the headset on, you know, a big,
- 37:53Speaker 1: nice headset. He was listening to it. A just went
- 37:58Speaker 1: he set the headset down and he said, oh my gosh. Yeah,
- 38:02Speaker 1: you're not gonna believe what he just said.
- 38:03Speaker 3: You want to know what they said?
- 38:05Speaker 1: And no, I did, because I thought he was going
- 38:07Speaker 1: to see this guy's an idiot. Hit him out of here.
- 38:10Speaker 1: He didn't. He said, this guy has done it, and
- 38:16Speaker 1: I just I'm almost I almost tear it up. I
- 38:18Speaker 1: mean it was a huge relief.
- 38:20Speaker 3: So they recognized it.
- 38:22Speaker 1: Yes, I mean I'm telling you, I sit down with
- 38:24Speaker 1: you and I can show you and you'd go, okay,
- 38:28Speaker 1: this is simple and it is. Remember what I said,
- 38:31Speaker 1: follow the instructions and you find it all. So is
- 38:36Speaker 1: that where you want to do over?
- 38:37Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, no that's good.
- 38:38Speaker 1: I got sighted.
- 38:39Speaker 3: No, No, that's perfect.
- 38:39Speaker 2: So now you have this validation, and where what are
- 38:44Speaker 2: the next steps?
- 38:45Speaker 3: Like, so you think that they're going to be like
- 38:47Speaker 3: this is.
- 38:48Speaker 2: Great, let's set up an excavation, let's go check out. Yeah,
- 38:51Speaker 2: so what happens next in the big scheme of things?
- 38:53Speaker 2: I mean here today, I mean we're we're ten years
- 38:57Speaker 2: or more later and fifteen more years later, and uh,
- 39:01Speaker 2: it's still sitting there unexplored.
- 39:02Speaker 3: What what what?
- 39:03Speaker 2: What did you find from then in the sense of
- 39:06Speaker 2: their interest level, because what we do know is that look, people,
- 39:12Speaker 2: well people might not know this, but we we we think,
- 39:15Speaker 2: oh there's something there, let's let's uncover, let's share the truth.
- 39:18Speaker 2: But as we know in our world, those that are
- 39:21Speaker 2: in the upper echelons of you know, political or even academia,
- 39:27Speaker 2: they're not always interested in letting things come out to
- 39:30Speaker 2: be known. So obviously there was a roadblock because here
- 39:33Speaker 2: we are. So as you progressed on and maybe share
- 39:39Speaker 2: with the audience, where between that and where are things now?
- 39:42Speaker 3: I mean, is there? What's the update now?
- 39:44Speaker 1: One of the one of the really good things is
- 39:47Speaker 1: a guy from New York called me. He said, Jim,
- 39:51Speaker 1: you need to come up here. And Mosha Fagelin is
- 39:54Speaker 1: coming into town. You heard of him, moshain Is He's hard.
- 40:01Speaker 1: He didn't good for around.
- 40:02Speaker 3: I mean the guy, how recent was this?
- 40:04Speaker 1: Oh it was several years ago, twenty fourteen. Gosh, I
- 40:11Speaker 1: got so many Jews in my head. I can't get
- 40:14Speaker 1: he he wanted me most Faklin wanted me to come back.
- 40:18Speaker 1: I showed him my research. He was doing some political
- 40:22Speaker 1: stuff in New York City because a lot of Jewish
- 40:25Speaker 1: people there. He was running for a Kannesset seat in
- 40:29Speaker 1: the Israel. Matter of fact, he had won. We won
- 40:32Speaker 1: the seat. He was just getting ready for another go around,
- 40:35Speaker 1: and he was the deputy speaker of the Kanesse. He
- 40:38Speaker 1: saw my research and he said, mister Barba, why are
- 40:41Speaker 1: you not digging this out?
- 40:42Speaker 3: H Yeah, what's the hold up?
- 40:44Speaker 1: I said, your government won't let me. He got angry.
- 40:48Speaker 1: He said what And I said they won't. I said,
- 40:52Speaker 1: I need to go and test it. I got a
- 40:54Speaker 1: big metal detective. I need to test this to see
- 40:57Speaker 1: what's actually there. I don't want to, you know, do
- 41:00Speaker 1: we need damage to the property unless we know absolutely
- 41:04Speaker 1: that there's.
- 41:04Speaker 3: Going to do technology scans or whatever you did.
- 41:07Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't GPR, QPR and more good it was.
- 41:11Speaker 1: It was a very powerful, powerful metal detect The hit
- 41:15Speaker 1: on this thing was six feet wide six feet long
- 41:19Speaker 1: and it was working very well. So anyway, we scanned it.
- 41:23Speaker 1: We did five scans. One of them turned bad on me.
- 41:26Speaker 1: I don't know what I did wrong, but I couldn't
- 41:29Speaker 1: scan it. However, he could scan it. He could scan
- 41:33Speaker 1: it because he was a deputy speaker of the Kanesse,
- 41:35Speaker 1: he had diplomatic community. He could do his thing. I
- 41:39Speaker 1: walked beside him and he ran the metal detect there.
- 41:42Speaker 1: He did all the operations to keep it legal. And
- 41:46Speaker 1: we scanned five locations and four of them came back
- 41:49Speaker 1: with massive quantities of hits for non FIERSH metals, which
- 41:56Speaker 1: is gold, silver, that sort of thing. That was a
- 42:00Speaker 1: big step. And then the next big step was getting
- 42:04Speaker 1: back home and we got after the first initial dig.
- 42:10Speaker 1: The initial dig was in two thousand and nine, you've
- 42:12Speaker 1: all pelic. He liked what he saw. He even volunteered
- 42:16Speaker 1: to do the excavation. So got one dig under my
- 42:21Speaker 1: belt before the bad guys and you know, the guys
- 42:25Speaker 1: with the pH ds were angry at me. They shut
- 42:27Speaker 1: us down.
- 42:28Speaker 3: Where was that dig at? I mean like like there, like.
- 42:32Speaker 1: At the hill at the hill, Yeah, at the cave would.
- 42:35Speaker 3: Be How long was that? How long did that last?
- 42:39Speaker 1: Well, we were actually digging at the very first occasion,
- 42:42Speaker 1: which was at the at the cave, which where I
- 42:45Speaker 1: believe the caves at. And he got a phone call,
- 42:49Speaker 1: you've all, Pelic got a phone call from that's Muggan,
- 42:54Speaker 1: I'm sure called and said shut that down, so.
- 42:58Speaker 3: Like a day, not even a day, two days, and
- 43:00Speaker 3: it was.
- 43:01Speaker 1: It was at the end of the day.
- 43:02Speaker 3: But yeah, so not not even if not even.
- 43:05Speaker 1: He guaranteed I think five locations, and we were going
- 43:09Speaker 1: to go at the cave, go six feet deep minimum
- 43:12Speaker 1: two meters actually more than six feet uh, And that's
- 43:15Speaker 1: what I was promised. That's you know, after I brought
- 43:18Speaker 1: all my crew there, got everything ready and all the expense,
- 43:22Speaker 1: he said, nope, this looks like six feet you know deep.
- 43:26Speaker 1: It was. It was that deep. I mean with no
- 43:28Speaker 1: deeper than this table because you Pelicans stand up in it.
- 43:31Speaker 1: And he was about my height and he's a wasist level.
- 43:35Speaker 1: I said, I said, there's no way that's six feet
- 43:38Speaker 1: two meters. He said, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know that
- 43:40Speaker 1: he Brew accident. He's a wonderful guy, don't get me wrong.
- 43:43Speaker 1: But he was getting pressure. He was getting a lot
- 43:45Speaker 1: of pressure. So we had to stop. And that's that's
- 43:50Speaker 1: when all the hard hard times that but first dig
- 43:53Speaker 1: was a breeze.
- 43:54Speaker 3: What what what year was that?
- 43:56Speaker 1: Roughly it was April two thousand and six. Oh no,
- 44:01Speaker 1: I'm sorry two thousand and seven. Yeah, yeah, it's been
- 44:06Speaker 1: I've been working on this now for eighteen years. Just
- 44:09Speaker 1: you know, December was eighteen years.
- 44:11Speaker 2: And so that that back way back then, that was
- 44:14Speaker 2: the only time that you really had to.
- 44:16Speaker 3: Shovel in the ground.
- 44:18Speaker 2: Yes, roughly, I mean, and then that they shut it down,
- 44:21Speaker 2: and so even the later conversations. So man, so here
- 44:24Speaker 2: we are, and again, how did the interest just they
- 44:28Speaker 2: shut it down?
- 44:29Speaker 3: You don't know why?
- 44:30Speaker 2: And then has there been any latest desires? I mean,
- 44:33Speaker 2: what's happening right now?
- 44:35Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 44:35Speaker 1: And I'm under a non disclosure Okay, later enough, Yeah, yeah,
- 44:39Speaker 1: I'm under an no disclosure. But I need somebody that
- 44:44Speaker 1: won't chicken out on me. I'm telling you. Here's what
- 44:48Speaker 1: I'd like to do. Yeah, what I'd like to do
- 44:51Speaker 1: is I've been to Washington, D C lately. Whenever they
- 44:55Speaker 1: had a at the Bible Museum in Washington, D C.
- 44:59Speaker 1: I went there to attend. That was pretty impressive to
- 45:03Speaker 1: see all these politicians truthfully praying for our nation. That
- 45:08Speaker 1: was encouraging. So I would like to make contact with
- 45:13Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump. Yeah, and I'm very serious because he
- 45:18Speaker 1: got now listen to this, he got Jerusalem back as
- 45:23Speaker 1: the capital of Israel.
- 45:26Speaker 3: Major deal embassy was moved.
- 45:28Speaker 1: Seventy years after it became a nation. Again, that's key.
- 45:31Speaker 1: And not only that, but the guy he got one
- 45:36Speaker 1: some land back in the in the go on hands,
- 45:38Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. Not only that, but he had
- 45:42Speaker 1: the Abrahamic courts and guess what they did and I'm
- 45:45Speaker 1: sure wouldn't for me, but they had a nice swath
- 45:48Speaker 1: around kum Run to make sure that that because I'm
- 45:52Speaker 1: telling you that that place is that is the home
- 45:59Speaker 1: of the profits. That was the capitol building right there,
- 46:03Speaker 1: that where all the profits would go, and they would
- 46:06Speaker 1: get there raising they got you. Ever, I'm sure you
- 46:10Speaker 1: know about it. You ever studied the Melchazidic order, Oh yeah,
- 46:13Speaker 1: Oh my.
- 46:14Speaker 3: Gosh, especially I mean in the Kumaran scrolls.
- 46:17Speaker 2: He's a he's the probably the top figure.
- 46:19Speaker 1: Oh gosh, yeah, I mean, uh, with with with Trump
- 46:25Speaker 1: assisting and I think if he could see my.
- 46:28Speaker 3: Resource, if he took the interest in it, Yeah.
- 46:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm telling you well, I think he would definitely
- 46:32Speaker 1: take interest in it. Because at his Marlogo compound there,
- 46:36Speaker 1: well what else to call it. He's got a full
- 46:39Speaker 1: sized mock up of the Arc of the Covenant. Oh wow,
- 46:43Speaker 1: they I mean gold played it though whether it's real gold.
- 46:46Speaker 1: Knowing him, yeah, it's gold, and so I know it'd
- 46:50Speaker 1: be interested, especially he loves gold.
- 46:53Speaker 2: Yeah, and if he knows if you look at all
- 46:55Speaker 2: the other stuff and you've seen pictures.
- 46:56Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yeah. And the thing one of the
- 46:59Speaker 1: things I would tell him is, hey, the people in
- 47:03Speaker 1: Israel believe that, like like you're reincarnated Cyrus Cirrus. And
- 47:09Speaker 1: I'm sure you know they got a coin printed for him,
- 47:11Speaker 1: and probably two or three of them now, but he
- 47:14Speaker 1: had his profile and not Cyrus Cyrus.
- 47:19Speaker 3: Right's amazing.
- 47:20Speaker 1: Cyrus helped re establish Jerusalem again as the capital of Israel,
- 47:25Speaker 1: none of that. But he also helped rebuild the temple.
- 47:29Speaker 1: It wasn't anything compared to Solomon's Temple, but it's still
- 47:32Speaker 1: it was a temple. And the biggest thing is this
- 47:36Speaker 1: he helped get. Cyrus helped get all these the temple
- 47:41Speaker 1: items that actually got taken to Babylon. He helped them
- 47:45Speaker 1: gather it up and bring it back and get it
- 47:48Speaker 1: back in operation again. And I'm going to I would
- 47:50Speaker 1: tell Trump. I even said it on a show that
- 47:52Speaker 1: I did. I said, you did great. What you need
- 47:56Speaker 1: to do, though, is finish your job. You need to
- 47:59Speaker 1: help get all the gold and silver and gems out
- 48:03Speaker 1: of the ground and let's get it.
- 48:04Speaker 2: But there would have to be obviously the U. There
- 48:09Speaker 2: seems to be a stumbling block within the the Israel
- 48:12Speaker 2: Antiquities Authority that do you have any any any thoughts
- 48:16Speaker 2: as to why.
- 48:19Speaker 3: They don't want to see this pursued.
- 48:22Speaker 1: One that's a you know, half breaking Mexican from wat in, Oklahoma.
- 48:27Speaker 3: Yeah, there there there certainly is that.
- 48:28Speaker 1: There is, and I know it's some jealousy there.
- 48:31Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly. Oh, there's no doubt that's that's the way
- 48:34Speaker 3: it is.
- 48:35Speaker 1: But but the next thing is this that and I
- 48:39Speaker 1: don't know if Natiyoff who actually said this, but I've
- 48:43Speaker 1: understood he did so if he didn't, I apologize. But
- 48:47Speaker 1: they said I was told that nat you know who
- 48:49Speaker 1: said the Temple mount is an atomic bomb. The ark
- 48:54Speaker 1: of the Covenant is the button. So once that things
- 48:58Speaker 1: get gets back into the hand of the Israelis, they're terrified. Well,
- 49:03Speaker 1: one of the things that Trump's doing right now is
- 49:04Speaker 1: he's he's cleaning the house over there. Well he's not
- 49:08Speaker 1: doing it, but he's helping clean house in the Gauza Strip.
- 49:11Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
- 49:12Speaker 1: And he's also getting you know who Thi's under control.
- 49:16Speaker 1: All their attacks are doing the naval ships and that
- 49:19Speaker 1: sort of thing.
- 49:19Speaker 2: There's gonna be a few months of cleaning because I
- 49:21Speaker 2: think the other thing that is volatile is this particular
- 49:27Speaker 2: area of Kumoran down by the Dead Sea is you know,
- 49:30Speaker 2: it's considered Palestinian at least to some degree, and so
- 49:35Speaker 2: I can imagine they would need to have a little
- 49:39Speaker 2: bit more sovereignty over that because if something big was
- 49:42Speaker 2: to come out of there, it wouldn't be surprising that
- 49:44Speaker 2: the Palestinians would try to lay claim to it. Of
- 49:46Speaker 2: course would so it would make sense that there need
- 49:49Speaker 2: to be some initial maybe even annexation of some degree,
- 49:52Speaker 2: like a full annexation yep, rather than it being you know,
- 49:55Speaker 2: the Palestinian area. Yeah, because over there ABC they have
- 50:00Speaker 2: three different areas. People might not know this, but Arab
- 50:02Speaker 2: you know, and other's different levels of sovereignty and control security.
- 50:07Speaker 1: And that was my next step to tell you there
- 50:10Speaker 1: were reasons why they won't haven't to this point. They
- 50:14Speaker 1: told me. I was told early on they said anything
- 50:17Speaker 1: Solomonic period mean King Solomon's time frame, King David. They
- 50:23Speaker 1: they're not going to touch it. They dodn't want anybody
- 50:25Speaker 1: to touch it and just leave it alone because it confirms.
- 50:28Speaker 3: Status is leave the status qua.
- 50:30Speaker 1: The next thing is this, there would be Jordanians. They
- 50:35Speaker 1: would claim it. Why is that because they had they
- 50:38Speaker 1: owned the territory when they did these scrolls were found.
- 50:41Speaker 1: Number Two, the Egyptians would want it because I guess
- 50:45Speaker 1: where a bunch of that gold and silver came from Egypt? Ye,
- 50:48Speaker 1: too bad? That was payback for all the years. Again,
- 50:52Speaker 1: and there's others, you know, other countries, there's other large
- 50:58Speaker 1: organizations that want it.
- 51:00Speaker 2: Yeah, so there would need to be against strong leadership.
- 51:03Speaker 2: Trump certainly would be that. And then but they'd have
- 51:05Speaker 2: to come to that to where I think I think
- 51:08Speaker 2: that's coming because when you look at it, when you
- 51:10Speaker 2: think of the Gaza Strip and some of the sovereignty
- 51:12Speaker 2: that's changing there, and and and Israel doesn't even have
- 51:15Speaker 2: to give it to the United States. They could just
- 51:16Speaker 2: lease it if if if Trump Trump's Gaza Plan, if
- 51:19Speaker 2: you want to say it, they don't have to, they
- 51:22Speaker 2: don't have to get rid of it, just lease it.
- 51:24Speaker 3: And then then the ownership still stays with an Israel.
- 51:27Speaker 1: It would have to in my opinion.
- 51:28Speaker 3: Yeah, I agreed, Yeah, we don't.
- 51:29Speaker 2: Yeah, and a lot of people so so, you know,
- 51:32Speaker 2: kind of been wrapping up where how can people support?
- 51:35Speaker 2: How can people find out more about what you're doing?
- 51:37Speaker 3: What do you need?
- 51:38Speaker 1: What? What? What?
- 51:38Speaker 3: What? What? What are you looking out there?
- 51:40Speaker 2: If you were to have like a kind of dream
- 51:43Speaker 2: request here, how can people find about you?
- 51:45Speaker 3: What's next?
- 51:46Speaker 1: The biggest thing I want and need is prayer, okay,
- 51:52Speaker 1: because we've got to stay in God's will. This is
- 51:56Speaker 1: this is not a jimbar Field project. People thinking it
- 51:59Speaker 1: in but it's not. I'm telling you things happened. It
- 52:03Speaker 1: was just bizarre how I figured out all this stuff
- 52:05Speaker 1: so easily, and I believe God somehow downloaded it. So
- 52:10Speaker 1: I want everyone to understand this is really not my project.
- 52:14Speaker 1: Monks to God, and he has to get all the glory,
- 52:17Speaker 1: he has to get all the praise. He gets it all.
- 52:20Speaker 1: But there will come a time, hopefully soon, that I
- 52:26Speaker 1: will call you and say, hey, Bed, I want to
- 52:30Speaker 1: come back up, or I may call you from Israel
- 52:33Speaker 1: and say hey, we need funding. And if I actually
- 52:39Speaker 1: opened that cave and there's stuff in there, because my
- 52:43Speaker 1: plan is to open the cave first. And if there's
- 52:47Speaker 1: a wall, like a stone wall there ceiling it shut,
- 52:53Speaker 1: that is absolutely clue to me.
- 52:55Speaker 3: Made something man made?
- 52:56Speaker 1: No concrete there. I found mortar that is man made mortar. Well,
- 53:01Speaker 1: i'll take you two people.
- 53:03Speaker 2: I'll tell you this that after I read the book,
- 53:05Speaker 2: I was there in twenty nineteen and I left the
- 53:08Speaker 2: group I lead tours there at Ti Israel, and I said, hey,
- 53:12Speaker 2: you guys, you take the group over here. And I
- 53:13Speaker 2: went out there and I walked out to that exact spot,
- 53:17Speaker 2: and I went around the corner and I looked and
- 53:19Speaker 2: I was like, this is exactly what I just read
- 53:21Speaker 2: in the book. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean so it
- 53:23Speaker 2: just in my own little bit of looking at it,
- 53:26Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, this is pretty amazing. Okay, So so
- 53:30Speaker 2: here in the future, you got stuff in the works.
- 53:33Speaker 2: How do people find out about what's going on?
- 53:35Speaker 1: They won't not until not until, not until something. And
- 53:40Speaker 1: I want to work. I want to work with the
- 53:42Speaker 1: Israeli government. I do. I don't want this to be
- 53:44Speaker 1: a jambar fold excavation. I don't want to be a
- 53:47Speaker 1: University of X and Y it needs to be a
- 53:51Speaker 1: government operations.
- 53:52Speaker 3: Yeah, it has to be.
- 53:54Speaker 1: And I will show them every step of the way.
- 53:57Speaker 1: And I just wanted the biggest thing. I mean, the
- 54:00Speaker 1: guys want to be there. Yeah, when that cave comes open,
- 54:03Speaker 1: they start bringing stuff out of there. And I got
- 54:06Speaker 1: this big beautiful box on their shoulders carrying out of there.
- 54:10Speaker 1: My guys have earned the right that would be sitting there.
- 54:13Speaker 2: So people the Copper Scroll Project book written a few
- 54:18Speaker 2: years ago by Shelly Ese of people on information. They
- 54:20Speaker 2: can check that out as well. You have a website.
- 54:24Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I was working on it
- 54:26Speaker 1: just before came here. We're redoing it. You get ready
- 54:28Speaker 1: because I think the time is coming. But there will
- 54:32Speaker 1: come a time that I will say, hey, guys, you
- 54:34Speaker 1: know I got a lot of buddies around all over
- 54:37Speaker 1: the United States and say hey, let's let you let
- 54:39Speaker 1: your people know I need help.
- 54:42Speaker 3: Very very good.
- 54:43Speaker 1: I've told all the people all these years. I've told them,
- 54:46Speaker 1: I said, I don't want your money. I want your
