B. Elmo Scoggin was Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament. The service begins with a word of prayer (00:00-01:46). B. Elmo Scoggin is introduced as the Faculty Lecturer (01:47-05:55). Scoggin begins his lecture by tracing the history of the people of Israel from the call of Abraham to the creation of the modern Israeli state in the 1948 (05:56-20:35). He argues that idea of an Arab Palestinian state is a part of a big political lie based on an antisemitic bias, and he believes that the truth is the Arab states have a united hatred of Israel and an interest in destroying the sovereign state (20:36-35:57). Scoggin concludes with the question of how we can account to God if we allow Israel to be wiped out, and he argues that our own self-preservation is at stake if we tolerate antisemitism (35:58-53:10). The service ends with a benediction (53:11-54:31).
