Text of the "Jerusalem Documentary," the biblically historic liberation of Jerusalem according to Luke 21:24.

(From http://www.cfi-usa.org/mmedia.html#dolan)

Below is the original recording of the Israeli Defense Forces entering the Old City of Jerusalem, the Temple Mount and the Wailing Wall during the Six Day War in June, 1967.

"The Temple Mount is in our hands, the Temple Mount is in our hands. All forces cease firing! The time is 10:20, the 7th of June. At this moment we are passing through the Lion's Gate. I am at present under the shadow [of the arch] of the gate. And [now] again we are emerging [back] into the sunshine -- Lion's Gate.

"We are in the Old City! We are in the Old City! The soldiers are standing very close to the walls. We are marching now on the Via Dolorosa, Via Dolorosa. Do we understand [the significance of] this? ...the Old City; we are again within the Old City! Al Aksa Mosque. Al Aksa Mosque. Under the ruling of the [British] Mandate we could not enter here. One moment. Straight ahead is the Kotel [Wailing Wall]. Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! We don't have words to express our feelings!

(Chant) On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen. (Shofar begins to sound.)"
