SID: Hello Sid Roth here your investigative reporter of the supernatural here with William Morford and we are having a blast. I mean we are talking truth, so the million-dollar question Bill is: if Paul was not a tent maker, which is what everyone says he was, what was he?
WILLIAM: He made tallit.
SID: Explain what a tallit is.
WILLIAM: Tallit is a prayer shawl. And the prayer shawls, in the first century, were very large like ponchos; and I’m sure that they would buy the kosher material which would be extended from wrist to wrist and hang down to the knees; just have a whole cut for the head and then on that…
SID: So the Spanish didn’t invent the ponchos, we Jews did!
WILLIAM: That’s right see that’s what was worn in the wilderness and that’s why it’s referred to in Deuteronomy as a man’s blanket. In the Torah it says you can’t take a man’s blanket for security; you lend him something overnight. He has to have his blanket. That was his prayer shawl.
SID: Okay, now what do the fringes on the prayer shawl…because I’ve got my father’s here actually, here and this is the fringe. What did this represent?
WILLIAM: Well it’s called a tzitzit in Hebrew, but this corner fringe is what is commanded in Scripture, in the book of Numbers, and it represents all the promises, all the commandments of God.
SID: Okay, explain to me the woman with the issue of blood. The King James says she reached for Jesus’ garment – what was she reaching for?
WILLIAM: She was reaching for the tzitzit; for the fringe. The Greek word is kraspedon and it is just used throughout for the translation of the Hebrew word tzitzit. But when…see the purpose of it is to look upon it and it’s for both the wearer and for everyone that sees this out on the street. Because Jesus and all the disciples wore these; and virtually every Jewish man in Israel wore one, and outside of Israel. And they would look upon it and know that, when an anointed man of God wore that, if they could touch this, that this held all of the power of God in it; and that’s why she knew she would be healed if she touched that…
SID: Okay, but right after she was healed, He went to Jarius’ daughter who had died; and He said no she’s just asleep and they laughed at Him; and He went in and He said, I can’t pronounce it; “tallit cumi?”
WILLIAM: Yes, tallit cumi.
SID: Now what does that mean?
WILLIAM: That means prayer shawl arise.
SID: That’s tallit – obviously! So how come it’s not translated that way?
WILLIAM: Because the translators just don’t know about it.
SID: Tallit arise; so what does that mean? Why did he say tallit arise? I don’t get that.
WILLIAM: What He did was He took off His prayer shawl, and He laid it on her body, and then He spoke to the prayer shawl. And do you know who taught me about that specific thing? Rabbi Ben-Yehuda.
SID: Whose grandfather invented modern day spoken Hebrew.
WILLIAM: That’s right.
SID: I’ll tell you, you can see God’s hand on you, but you also understand healing and that’s why this is such a fresh translation. Tell me briefly, very quickly, what happened to your eyes.
WILLIAM: I wore glasses; they were required on my driver’s license. Although my vision wasn’t bad, I was nearsighted and needed them to drive. And the Lord spoke to me and I spoke with friends saying, I know the Lord could heal my eyes. And they said well when is He going to do it? And I said He’ll give me a sign, and the very next day my glasses broke.
SID: Well that’s a sign; that’s a sign to get new glasses. (laughs)
WILLIAM: But I didn’t. And for the next two months, every morning when I’d get up I would see very clearly no matter where I looked and then it would get a little fuzzy again. And after two months of that I got up one morning and everything was clear and stayed clear. And I was meeting a friend, a pastor, for breakfast and I took him out into the parking lot and I could read license plates further away than he could with his glasses; I could read road signs further away than he could.
SID: Let me ask you something, the acid test is you went down to get a driver’s license did you need to get glasses?
WILLIAM: No and I haven’t since.
SID: How old were you?
WILLIAM: Last time I was 70.
SID: And I understand that you had such a revelation – this isn’t for everyone – but you had such a revelation of healing, that you don’t even take medication. Do you take a little aspirin though for the hearts sake?
WILLIAM: Nothing.
SID: Nothing?
WILLIAM: Nothing.
SID: You look pretty healthy to me.
WILLIAM: I am. I gave blood last week and my blood pressure was 120 over 80; my pulse was 66.
SID: And you’re not taking any blood pressure medication?
WILLIAM: Don’t take anything of any kind.
SID: Another idiom: the binding and loosing; explain that briefly.
WILLIAM: Those are critical because to bind is a Hebrew idiom meaning to forbid and loose means to permit. So what Jesus was saying in Mathew 16, and He repeats it in Mathew 18 is that whatever we bind, whatever we forbid on earth will already have been bound in heaven with ongoing effect.
SID: So in effect if we know what’s going on in heaven we can enforce it on earth.
WILLIAM: That’s right.
SID: And the only way we know what’s going on in heaven is this book: the Bible. Hey it’s so simple. You have to become like a child.
WILLIAM: That’s right we have to be as open and free to think as a child.
SID: Okay has heaven forbidden sickness?
WILLIAM: (laughs) It has.
SID: Therefore, we have the right to look into the camera and be Gods enforcer by using the name of Jesus; I like to use His Hebrew name, but He responds to any language in the world. And I can be God’s enforcer right now. In the name of Yeshua, I command, I forbid that spirit infirmity on your back. I command it to leave in Yeshua’s name. I forbid that, not sickness, that evil spirit, I bind you in Yeshua’s name and I command you off of God’s people; and I pray the
Shalom of God upon you. Your spine is being straightened right now you’re feeling it and you’re hearing it; there’s cracking going on in your spine and in your neck, and in your breathing passages; you can breathe clearly your ears are opening up. Oh it’s so strong in the back right now. I am so glad that I know that I have authority to enforce what my God has done, and I know it from the word of God. It became flesh and it’s written in this book. I think you ought to read this book.
