00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:16,560
Good afternoon Truthwinds team. Oh, our topic, A Light in the Darkness. If you look at the

2
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:21,880
picture behind us, a friend of mine painted it, and on the bottom of it, which might be

3
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:29,640
a little hard to read from this distance, it's Matthew 622. And it says, let's see,

4
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:35,640
their whole body will be filled with the light. And so since this is a time when the light

5
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:41,040
shines strong, its resurrection Sunday is coming, we're actually going to populate this

6
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:51,920
a little bit early, just in the celebration of Jesus. So, and this is produced by Shining

7
00:00:51,920 --> 00:01:00,800
City Media. The name of it is A Light in the Darkness, and it was produced by Jeffrey

8
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:10,320
and Rami Black. They spent probably years on producing this film. It's a very nice documentary

9
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:16,560
on the 100 year anniversary of the Hollywood Cross. Probably, and a lot of you don't even

10
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,640
know that it exists. But the next time you go to Hollywood, you can do that. As you can

11
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:28,000
see also up on the back, it says Hollywood next to the clock. The reason why this is

12
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,240
so exciting to us is, as a lot of you know, my great grandfather is the father of Hollywood.

13
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:41,200
He's H.J. Whitley, and he played a big part in all of this. Oh yeah, Willie. He had the

14
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:50,480
visionary to bring the media system or production to Southern California. Right, and then it

15
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:55,360
went and spread to the world because as we know, this is a way to share your vision through

16
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,880
media. So, we'll jump into the movie. We won't be back with you when the movie ends. That

17
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,640
will be it. We just hope you- Play it over and over and sit and have all your friends

18
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:12,960
and neighbors and everybody watch this. This is very, very good. Right. You can wish them

19
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:20,800
all happy Easter and a celebration of the 100th year of the Hollywood Cross and have

20
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:49,120
fun and get a bowl of popcorn and enjoy. Amen.

21
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,800
Once upon a time, there was an extraordinary land, an amazing place where dreams came through,

22
00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:01,080
but nightmares also abounded. It was a land of wealth the entire world looked to for escape

23
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:07,080
and inspiration, but it was also a place where the eternal forces of good and evil battled

24
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:13,720
and where many fell slain. High on a hill overlooking the land, a huge glowing cross

25
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:20,240
stood lighting the way for all who had looked to it. As time passed, however, few remembered

26
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:27,240
why the cross was ever built or what it even stood for. Those who did remember fought bravely

27
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:33,040
to keep its light from being extinguished. This is the story of that extraordinary cross,

28
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:38,080
the brave heroes who battled to protect it and those who have been inspired by its light

29
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:55,960
for the past 100 years. The story of the Hollywood Cross begins long before it was ever built

30
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:01,760
in the hills above Hollywood in 1923, for there would be no Hollywood Cross without

31
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:08,400
the name Hollywood. Many stories abound how Hollywood got its name, that it was named

32
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,440
after Christmas Holly that grew throughout the Santa Monica Mountains and nearby hills,

33
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:19,000
or that it was taken from an Illinois estate named Hollywood. No proof exists to back up

34
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:25,080
any of these claims. The only real evidence for the name's true origin comes from a page

35
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:31,240
in the diary of a man named H.J. Whitley. Whitley was the owner of the original 480 acre tract

36
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:39,240
of land that became Hollywood, which Whitley purchased for $22,000 in gold. In 1886, Whitley

37
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:45,120
noted in his diary that one day he came across a Chinese man carrying wood in a horse-drawn

38
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:52,480
wagon who spoke politely to him in a thick accent saying he was hauling wood. To Whitley,

39
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:58,000
it sounded like the man said, Hollywood. The name struck a chord with Whitley and the rest

40
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,680
is history. An honest businessman and a committed Christian in later life, H.J. Whitley was

41
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:10,280
also instrumental in bringing the film industry to Hollywood. Although the California film

42
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:16,400
industry began in 1909, when prolific East Coast filmmaker Colonel William Selig opened

43
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:22,320
his Selig Polyscope Studios in the Edendale District of downtown Los Angeles, Whitley

44
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:27,920
helped create the first movie studio in Hollywood, the Nestor Film Company that soon merged

45
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:33,280
along with several other companies to form the Universal Film Manufacturing Company, a

46
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:39,120
conglomerate that would one day become Universal Studios, the first and the oldest major film

47
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:45,880
studio in Hollywood. For these accomplishments and for many others, H.J. Whitley is now known

48
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:54,320
as the father of Hollywood. In 1887, a Christian couple named Harvey and Data Wilcox purchased

49
00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:00,000
a 120-acre tract of land from Whitley, centered at what would one day become Hollywood and

50
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,720
Vine. Harvey Wilcox officially established the name Hollywood when he recorded it on

51
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:12,760
the land's deed in 1887. Harvey and Data Wilcox's original vision for Hollywood was

52
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:18,160
to create a utopian Christian community and center for the arts, a place free from the

53
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:26,440
vices of alcohol, gambling, and prostitution. In 1902, Hollywood officially became a city.

54
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:32,160
The first laws passed banned liquor, pool halls, bowling alleys, and even riding bicycles

55
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:39,120
on the sidewalk. The LA Times described Hollywood in 1905 as a place where the saloon and its

56
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:45,560
kindred evils are unknown. Soon, Hollywood was filled with churches from every major

57
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:51,560
denomination that had taken up Data Wilcox's offer of free land and the faithful flocked

58
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:59,240
to the area. In 1910, Hollywood's cherished dream of righteous independence came to an

59
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:05,120
abrupt halt when its expanding water needs forced Hollywood's incorporation as a district

60
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:12,040
into the city of Los Angeles and its corrupting influences.

61
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:17,160
One believer drawn to Hollywood during that time was Christine Weatherall Stevenson, an

62
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:22,600
heiress to the Pittsburgh paint fortune who became a patron of the arts in Hollywood.

63
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:27,760
In 1919, she helped to found the Hollywood Bowl, contributing nearly one half the money

64
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:34,560
— $21,000 — to purchase the Bolton Canyon site, popularly known as Daisy Dell, on which

65
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:40,560
the Bowl sits. In 1921, Stevenson organized the first Hollywood

66
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:47,400
Bowl Easter Sunrise Service, a tradition that continues to this day. After a dispute with

67
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:52,800
partners who wished to produce non-religious productions, Stevenson purchased a 29-acre

68
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:59,560
tract of land across from the Bowl. Shows at her new Pilgrimage Theater became an immediate

69
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:05,880
hit with Los Angeles audiences, and her pilgrimage play, based on the life of Jesus, continued

70
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,800
to be performed at the theater for the next 42 years.

71
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:19,840
Then, in 1922, at the tender age of 44, Stevenson unexpectedly passed away. Grieving friends

72
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:25,200
and supporters built a huge 40-foot-lighted wooden cross on the hill next to the Pilgrimage

73
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:33,080
Theater as memorial to her in 1923. It is this monument that has come to be known

74
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:45,360
as the Hollywood Cross.

75
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:50,480
The original Hollywood Cross was constructed for $200 and lit by hundreds of incandescent

76
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,560
light bulbs that outlined the structure. The lights were turned on during evening performances

77
00:08:55,560 --> 00:09:01,680
at the Pilgrimage Theater and also for the annual Hollywood Bowl Easter Sunrise Service.

78
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:06,760
Sunday school children initially paid for the electricity. Then, Southern California

79
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:13,760
Edison provided it free of charge. In 1941, the Pilgrimage Theater donated the cross and

80
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:20,200
the land beneath it to the county of Los Angeles, which then provided routine maintenance.

81
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,440
Later that year, just three months before the bombing of Pearl Harbor thrust America

82
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:31,120
into World War II, Hitler partisans drew a huge Nazi swastika beneath the cross using

83
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:40,840
bags of white lime. No suspects were ever caught.

84
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:46,840
Following the war in 1949, a great worldwide phenomenon began in downtown Los Angeles in

85
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:53,320
view of the Hollywood Cross when Reverend Billy Graham came to national prominence. His Los

86
00:09:53,320 --> 00:10:01,840
Angeles crusade lasted for eight weeks and was attended by 350,000 people. One of Graham's

87
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:08,200
great themes was the cross of Christ and its great significance to mankind.

88
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,160
If you could have bought your way or if you could have worked your way or if you could

89
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:17,800
have skimmed your way to heaven, Jesus would have never gone to the cross. There is no

90
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:23,080
other way of salvation except at the foot of the cross. And when I look at that cross,

91
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:28,760
I see first the terribleness of sin. I know that I am a sinner. When I look at Christ

92
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,840
dying in my place on the cross and realize the things that I have done and that it was

93
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:39,880
my sins that nailed him there, I must cry out to God, oh God, I am a sinner.

94
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,640
Then the second thing I see is the amazing love of God, that God commended his love

95
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:50,600
toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. You rebelled against God,

96
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,400
you've sinned against God, you've done things that you know you shouldn't have done, you've

97
00:10:54,400 --> 00:11:00,680
helped even crucify Jesus. But in spite of it, God loves you. And on the cross there

98
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:09,240
is written in gigantic letters in neon fire, God so loved the world that he gave his only

99
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,800
begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting

100
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:19,160
life. There is the love of God. And if you have any doubt concerning the love of God,

101
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,240
look at the cross. It was there that he died for us.

102
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:30,120
In 1963, Billy Graham returned to Los Angeles, this time speaking to nearly one million people

103
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:35,000
at the LA Coliseum. And the cross of Christ was always central to his message.

104
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,000
It doesn't make any difference what race you come from, what your nationality background

105
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,840
is, what state you live in, how rich or how poor, how educated or uneducated you have

106
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,440
to come to the cross. You say, but Billy, that's foolish. Do you mean to say I can't

107
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,400
be accepted by God unless I come to the cross? That's right.

108
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:57,680
And the Bible says the preaching of the cross is foolishness to them that perish. God said

109
00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:03,040
you'd say it's foolish. You may be a PhD in the university, but if you're ever to have

110
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:11,800
a piece of soul with God, you'll have to come like a little child to the foot of the cross.

111
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:17,760
The original wooden Hollywood cross stood tall on its hilltop until 1965, when it was

112
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:23,560
suddenly destroyed in a Hollywood brush fire. The county of Los Angeles replaced the wooden

113
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:29,520
cross with a more resilient steel and plexiglass structure that was illuminated from within

114
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,360
by fluorescent lights. LA County involvement with the Hollywood

115
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:40,200
cross, however, came under fire in 1979 following a California state Supreme Court ruling that

116
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,800
ended a 30-year tradition of lighting Los Angeles City Hall windows in the shape of

117
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:51,880
a cross at Christmas and Easter. Citing that decision, activist attorneys saw it an injunction

118
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:57,440
to prevent public money from being spent on the Hollywood cross. Caving to pressure,

119
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,640
Los Angeles County pulled the plug on the cross, selling it later that year along with

120
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:09,120
its land for $1,000 to the preservation group Hollywood Heritage.

121
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:14,400
And the Bible says the preaching of the cross is foolishness to them that perish. God said

122
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:19,680
you'd say it's foolish. During that dark season, the cross was defaced

123
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:24,520
and vandals sawed through several of its steel braces, sending it crashing to the ground

124
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:33,900
in a 1984 Santa Ana windstorm. Just before the 1985 Hollywood Bowl Easter

125
00:13:33,900 --> 00:13:41,320
Sunrise service, volunteers built a temporary 17-foot cross out of pieces from the old one.

126
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:46,440
For nearly a decade, numerous attempts to permanently rebuild the cross failed, including

127
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:51,280
a cross built out of balloons and an Easter Sunrise service to draw attention to the missing

128
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,560
landmark. The Hollywood cross was resurrected in its

129
00:13:55,560 --> 00:14:02,720
present form in 1993 when High Adventure Ministries, a CME Valley shortwave radio evangelism

130
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:08,360
organization donated $110,000 for its reconstruction.

131
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:13,560
We saw the original cross sitting flat on the ground. It was bent. It had been weathered,

132
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:18,200
rusted, and looked like it had been sitting there for a century. It was terrible, terrible

133
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,840
shape. I would imagine that somebody went up there and cut their metal saw up there

134
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:29,280
and cut it and tipped it over like a tree. It fell flat on the ground and that's where

135
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,320
it laid for many, many years until they hired us to come and resurrect it.

136
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:40,680
We then hired a structural engineer to go out there and make it stronger and design it

137
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:46,040
so that it can stand back in place again and this time we're going to try to make it indestructible.

138
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:52,000
We took a field trip up to the cross. We all hiked up there and we all looked at it. We

139
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,200
all had a game plan and we all decided, okay, we need to hire an engineer and an architect

140
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,680
to figure out how we're going to get this thing built and stronger to stand back up

141
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:07,600
again. So we hired a fellow by the name of Jeff Warling to be the designer of the engineering,

142
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,360
structural engineering on the project and Dean White was the architect who drew up the

143
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:18,480
plans and submitted for plan check, which we got the permit for. Once we got the permit,

144
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:24,320
we started construction. We got a little static. You know, after we got the building permit

145
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:29,640
and after we got up there and started working on it, word got out that we were going to

146
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,680
resurrect the cross. There was a group of people that didn't like it. There were protesters

147
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,880
that got involved. Angry people, they didn't want us to build it and let it be known that

148
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:45,360
they didn't want us to do it. We told them that if you didn't leave, we'd call the police

149
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:51,360
because it's private property and they left. We decided not to put the cross back where

150
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,880
it originally was, where the original concrete footing was because that would cost more money

151
00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,880
to remove the old footing. So we decided to place it to the side of it where we can dig

152
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:06,960
a fresh hole in the ground for the footings, which was six foot by six foot by six foot.

153
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:12,800
We dug that in, we laced it, reinforced it with steel. We erected that steel out of the

154
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:18,800
ground about eight feet and then we were ready for inspection. So once we got the inspection,

155
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:28,520
we scheduled the concrete pour and the forms didn't hold and the forms exploded and all

156
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:36,640
the concrete went rolling down the hill into the Ford feeder. Not once, twice. So that

157
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:42,160
was a snafu. Anyways, once we were able to reinforce the, because the footings stood

158
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,880
up out of the ground by eight feet and was full of concrete. So I had to get something

159
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:54,120
and devise a way to make a strong form and I ended up doing that with chains, three quarter

160
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:59,280
inch chains wrapped around the whole thing like you'd see Houdini did back in the day.

161
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,600
And that held it together and we were able to pour. So once the footing was poured, then

162
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:12,760
we were able to strip the forms and prep the area for the cross. So during the time we're

163
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:19,720
working on the foundation of the of the Hollywood Cross, 15 or 20 feet of the whole lower section

164
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:28,520
was wrapped in half inch steel plate, machine bolt every three inches on the entire perimeter

165
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:34,600
of all four corners, each direction and welded. Once we got that thing done, then we got the

166
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:42,320
helicopter, we had a Sikorsky out there. We had the helicopter crew in the helicopter

167
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:48,160
and we had a ground crew. Once the helicopter pulled that cross up off the ground and it

168
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:55,400
was airborne, we had lines coming down from it, three or four lines. And once those lines

169
00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:01,760
got close to a man to grab, we would hold on to them and then pull as best we could

170
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:08,800
it into place so the helicopter pilot can drop it. Once we got it within inches of where

171
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:14,400
it needed to be, tugging on it certain directions helped it along pretty good. As we navigated

172
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:22,120
this cross into position and lowered it down, the sleeve of half inch steel plate slid down

173
00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:29,040
over the footing and once it slid down, they released it and gravity holds it in place.

174
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:35,440
So once the gravity held it in place, we went in and bolted it into the concrete around

175
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:44,200
the whole perimeter. After that, we poured a four foot circular concrete reinforcement

176
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:50,680
around it. So it's encased. So you can't really get to the steel casing because it's covered

177
00:18:50,680 --> 00:19:00,240
in a foot of concrete. Somewhere along the line, they asked us to put in a time capsule

178
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:07,280
and there's a time capsule in there too. The rest of the cross was the existing framing

179
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:14,080
stayed as is and how we covered it was the actual sign company that came out. He went

180
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,040
out and put fluorescent lights on the front face and the back face and then connected

181
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:23,040
the ends with sheet metal so you wouldn't ever see the framework of the existing cross

182
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:32,120
and then we stuckled the surface of that four foot diameter concrete encasement and that

183
00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:41,160
was the finished product. I mean it went through that 94 quake and it's still standing.

184
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,400
One member of the team that helped to guide the cross into position was the legendary

185
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:52,280
Hollywood stuntman and circus high wire performer Bob Yerkes. Immediately after construction

186
00:19:52,280 --> 00:20:00,720
was complete, a lawsuit was brought to have the cross removed. I used to get it back up

187
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:12,400
and then they took us to court for putting it up and they said it was offensive and I

188
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:26,160
said well it's always offensive to atheists and vampires and it's just to complain because

189
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:36,360
it was lit up inside so it was too bright and the judge said well maybe that's because

190
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:44,240
the doctors in your heart you threw it on the court. Every time I drive by there and

191
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:55,600
see it up still, yeah, still up. It is this cross that stands high over Hollywood today.

192
00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:00,920
In 1997, ownership of the Hollywood cross and the quarter acre of land around it was

193
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:06,120
transferred to the church on the way, a Van Nuys Pentecostal congregation that set up a

194
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:13,680
perpetual endowment to care for the cross and to keep it lit into eternity. Having the

195
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,880
sturdy new Hollywood cross on firm footing, however, didn't keep fresh attacks from coming.

196
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:25,120
In 2004, activist attorneys and politicians conspired to remove the Hollywood cross from

197
00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:31,000
the Los Angeles County seal where it had been placed in 1957 above an image of the Hollywood

198
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:39,080
Bowl. The revised 2004 Los Angeles County seal eliminated the Hollywood cross in a second

199
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:45,720
revision in 2016 prompted by an activist judge's ruling caused the cross over the San Fernando

200
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:52,000
mission to be removed as well. God said you'd say it's foolish. Despite being attacked by

201
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:58,320
vandals and Nazis, destroyed by fire and wind storms, and assaulted by lawyers, judges and

202
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:07,120
politicians, the Hollywood cross still stands high over Hollywood after 100 years. A light in

203
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:15,960
the darkness showing the way so all may see, draw inspiration and believe. You rebelled against

204
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:20,000
God, you've sinned against God, you've done things that you know you shouldn't have done,

205
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:26,720
you've helped even crucify Jesus. But in spite of it, God lurched. And on the cross there is

206
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:35,280
written in gigantic letters in neon fire. God so loved the world that he gave his only the

207
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,840
God son, the who's so other. Believe it in him should not perish but have everlasting life.

208
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:45,320
There is the love of God. And if you have any doubt concerning the love of God, look at the

209
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:58,640
cross. It was sad that he died for us.
