Gen 12 begins the story of Israel's patriarchs. This Patriarchal Narrative is history in story form. We see a series of vignettes of the patriarchs doing life with God, pursuing the blessing (but usually falling just short.) In this narrative we see the foundations for Israel, the Kingdom program and the story of Redemption.

24 Introduction to Prophecy: Revelation 1
Christians tell the truth. Only your Creator can create you again. No one else can, obviously. Jesus is our Creator who is also our perfect provision for us as no one else can be. This provision made possible the sending of the Holy Spirit who sanctifies us with His truth.
check out Answers in Genesis, Ken Ham's ministries. The Creation Museum and Life size Noah's Ark in Kentucky. well worth the education experience.
Yes there was heavy rain and a flood the life sized Noah's ark suffered damage and was late opening. Not to worry though they claimed on the insurance.
As for me and Grandpa we Believe in The All Mighty God's Plan of Life on this Earth, The King James Holy Bible as written, God's Holy Word.
You do realize that the kjv was not intended to be an accurate translation but on that could be used to support the monarchy where possible... Each translation for the most part is valid.
What about Noah's Ark... 6,5 million terrestrial species roamed the Earth, including dinosaurs. That means Noah had to get 13 million animals on his Ark. Then he had to feed them all for at least 2 months. And give them fresh water. Among all these species, many were carnivorous. So were TRex and many other giant predators. Were did Noah get the meat from ? How did he keep the hungry dinosaurs from eating everything on the Ark ? I mean, is this plausible ?
There are millions of insect “species” but there was no need to have all of these “species” on the Ark. There are 11,000 grasshopper species. But they are all grasshoppers. There are 6,000 cockroach species but they are all roaches. The differentiation of insects into species is how entomologists study them. It is not a survival mechanism. Noah would have, as the Bible points out, needed only “two of each kind.” After the waters receded there was plenty of time for all of them to mate and reproduce into the myriad varieties we see now.
Simple mathematics shows that Noah’s three sons and wives would have quickly repopulated the earth. Women can begin reproducing at 12 years. Each couple can have 20-25 children in a generation. Within 1000 years the earth would have had billions of people. Population growth proceeds exponentially. So in human terms, 6 breeding pairs can produce billions of offspring in 1000 years. Hence, since the repopulated earth would have all had the same ancestors, they would all have had the same historical reckoning and flood legends. See for example: “Modelling the recent common ancestry of all living humans” Douglas L. T. Rohde, Steve Olson & Joseph T. Chang; Nature 431 2004: “If a common ancestor of all living humans is defined as an individual who is a genealogical ancestor of all present-day people, the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) for a randomly mating population would have lived in the very recent past”
The error here is assuming that the modern taxonomical classification of species is the same thing as the "kinds" that were brought on the ark. And that's probably not the case. The "kind" is definatly a much broader thing. And seems to be primarily defined in so far as fertility. If two things can reproduce together, they are of the same kind. For example, lions,and tigers can reproduce together, so they are of the same kind. So there was probably no lions, or tigers on the ark, but probably just a "cat" kind from which both lions, abd tigers eventually speciated out from after leaving the ark. With this being taken into account the actual amount of animals needing to be brought onto the ark is significantly smaller.
@@anthonypolonkay2681 You obviously have no knowledge in biology and how « species » are classified. And claiming that two 10 lbs cats mating will produce within only few centuries animals weighing 400 lbs with distinct characteristics is absolutely… creative.
@@robertl.6919 dog we have witnessed in real time speciation events within decades. Speciation out from roughly the family level to what we have today is not only probable, but the likly course things normally take.
How long does it take you to make all this stuff up
Sadly. It's not made up. Go read the 60 page research paper and prove it wrong then you can scoff.
@@BBCTopgearfan it is not possible for 8 people to care for well over 1000 animals. There is not enough water on the planet to create a world wide flood. When the flood ended there would be no vegetation because of the salt water so what are the herbivores going to eat while the carnivores devour them. And how come other cultures lived through this great flood of your as if it never happened.

@26:47 - I love what you say about gravity, here. ....it isn't true. The electrostatic and electromagnetic forces are ten to the 5th power stronger than gravity. Any force with that much more power than gravity makes one ask, "does gravity have any power at all?" Other forces overpower gravity and gravity itself is most recently found to be 98% dark matter or dark energy. If you have a theory and 98% of it falls apart, do you scrap the theory - - NO! too much ego invested in the term. Make up the missing percentage with another unknown. This is where I always lean back to truth...Truth is. It stands still and waits for people to find it. Everything other than the truth has to be supported by explanation and reasons and when those fail to do the job, emotions are added to the explanations and reasons.
@32:48 - ooh, back on the gravity trip - - - it's not a law, brother, not a law. Gravity is a theory, always has been, always will be, because it can't be proven.
@47:00 - mentioning gravity as something scientific that can be measured and tested and is repeatable in the lab. Gravity is a theory and not a law. There are so many things wrong with gravity that 99% of it is understood to be dark matter or dark energy which also cannot be measured or tested, but it has to be there otherwise the theory of gravity is incorrect. When dropping a bowling ball, one is testing the laws of buoyancy and density. Buoyancy and density are the natural laws governing why things fall, but it is the above/below aspect that God established which up, up and makes down, down. On a globe, up is relative to your position because at every other location on the globe, up is not parallel to your initial locational direction. Gravity is also relative and treats water and gasses differently; gravity holds air and water against the globe, but allows animals to fly and swim around unhindered by the same force. Gravity is merely a religious word; it has no meaning except within the religion of heliocentrism.
@29:46 - 'The Little Engine That Could' was, yes, read to me countless times and to this day sometimes my Mom still recites the line, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can." when things get tough.
great video!!
hello, i told you I would hold back my comments....there were several great points you made and I was about to note them. Great video!!
@57:57 - Evil is not eternal. God is eternal. God is not evil. Evil is not eternal. God says ultimately an end will be put to evil and freewill shall remain.
as you can see, I'm still working out my worldview LOL. Thanks, keep doing what you do.
I'll watch the rest of the series and try to keep my comments to a minimum ...maybe.
@13:43 - 15:10 a deeper look at history in 'the late Middle Ages' you're speaking about, the world view was NOT that of a geocentric Earth sphere. The Biblical model was still prevalent across the plane of existence. It was, and has been, Jesuits and Masons who've relentlessly pressed the ideas that the world is actually completely opposite of the Genesis description of creation. the sorcerer and his craft became the scientist and science. In that sense the world view is changed from a Biblical perspective of the creation to a scientific perspective of the world which Masons and Jesuits promoted. Their motivations and their ultimate agenda can also be traced to their beginnings in Canaanite worldviews as well as Babylonian worldviews. This is why "mystery Babylon" is directly responsible in Revelation for deceiving the whole world. What better way to deceive the followers of the true shepherd than to dress as one of them, gain a following yourself, and turn as many as you can to your own teachings? The Devil started with one, then he had two, then three, ....and now, well, as it is written 'the road to destruction has been trod and beaten down and it has been widened to allow for more to travel at once'.
@16:32 - the scientific world view, or the Babylonian mystery religion worldview - mathematics can be, an you put it nicely, used to make sense of the "presented facts". The Devil presented facts to Eve and backed then up with twisted words. Mathematics are an elaborate form of twisting words so no one who is outside of the circle so to speak, cannot comprehend the process of calculation. numbers so enormous that the brain short circuits if you really think about it. <e.g.> the number one trillion. The word 'trillion' is thrown around like we know what it means. Did you know how long it would take, if you were to count to one trillion,? starting at 1 and continuing to one trillion by saying the numbers one second at a time. (1 trillion seconds) = it will take you thirty-one thousand years to finish. 31,000 years. The nearest galaxy is calculated to be 24 trillion light years away; if we could travel at the speed of light, it would only take us 24,000 years to arrive. - have you ever heard of or looked into the "3 Body Problem"? Mathematical calculations have begun to break down when run in simulations.
@17:00 - case in point - it is not designed to be understood by everyone equally. and a moment ago you distinguished a worldview as the scientific worldview, yet here in the same instance saying that the scientific model is different from the scientific worldview. The scientific method does not shape a worldview.
@17:28 - gravity works out??? well?? now there is 99% dark matter and dark energy to account for why gravity collapses in on itself when we put its calculations into a computer simulation. It has been over 700 years and still there is no proof of any of their claims, scientifically ,with regard to the heavens above. This sort of science is a cult in and of itself. No proof, just doctrines in circular reasoning, and blind faith. The scientific worldview is reduced to a mathematical equation. the math is in the dialectic which is adopted and implemented to shape a worldview. The Hegelian dialectic takes Plato's a leap further by differing the definitions of logical concepts among people. Opposition to ideas and the outcome to be achieved works by utilizing both sides to a desired end. In Hegel's dialectic people are not allowed their own devices as Plato's allows, but they are guided by the introduction of new ideas to accept or oppose. The ultimate idea is to continue to shape the worldview and bring the many views under a single worldview. Gravity plays a part in a worldview.
@22:16 - True. Very true. No one can serve two masters. He will love the one and hate the other. This is why the scientific worldview is so powerful to lead people away from the Bible and Biblical truths therein, because science says, there is no God. Many have twisted and molded the Word to fit the science and in doing so have diminished the miracles and rejected the Messiah. If science is true, then God can't exist. logic.
@23:02 - ultimate reality. is it formed or fluid, this reality? In a sense the ultimate reality is the goal. The dialectic exists within the worldviews
@3:40 - as far as we know from scripture, "the earth" is what God called the "dry ground", not 'the Earth', the planet which Masons and Jesuits promote as an object of worship along with their Sun god. The presentation so far has introduced the "artist's rendition of what the Earth looks like from the surface of the Moon." Still, there are hopes that you are leading to a point where you discuss the Biblical model and true model of the creation. God did not create "thinking beings" - God created man in God's image, created HE them male and female. The image of God is not merely a "thinking being", but a created being in the image of God. Animals think and react to instinct and environment. Mankind was set above the animals and set above the whole earth and everything living with dominion over the whole earth. It is NOT conceivable, perhaps [or otherwise] that life exist on "other planets". There are no planets....period. God makes no mention of planets in scripture - and an honest Bible scholar would admit the truth after having looked into it extensively to conduct a class on the topic of Genesis. This is not an attack - a rebuke, a coercing to analyze the scripture without your NASA goggles and without the Sci-Fi bias that space is real and planets are real and the moon is a physical place to set human foot upon....ditch the Masonic lies about creation and begin looking at the scripture again with the faith of a child. Believe the Word of God, not the ideas of men. You have questions about some people's intelligence, and I am having particular doubts about your sincerity to true Biblical descriptions and evidences. (we're only 4:40 into the video. - let me give you a chance to totally turn this thing around 180 degrees)
@11:08 - now you are turning the ship....are you going to redirect it to the course for God's true creation and not man's guesses.
@23:21 - not without having a god, but without the one true God as Creator. Darwin assumes the position of creator and makes himself god by "discovering" the evolution theory [which is taught as evolution fact in schools everywhere]. There is a Satanic agenda; a spirit battle for the soul and 'deception' is the sharpest tool in the Devil's arsenal. ~the truth, is. a lie, when questioned has explanation and reasoning to assist. if more questions arise [they always do], then, emotions are added to the explanation and reasoning. the truth, still stands, still. it is. it always will be. it evidences itself with everything it says about itself and everything else. it is simple. people will find all kinds of ways to convince themselves of any absurdity ~ just to deny the truth. life is not about scholastics or finances or physical achievements! life is about the relationship with the true Creator God. Life comes from the restoration and the Restorer. the journey of life is finding the truth. God does not hide himself from any of us; his truth is plain to see, even to the blind of sight. But those who choose to be spiritually blind, God is hidden from them because they refuse to see. They have convinced themselves to believe a lie. - why? - the trouble of it all...the effort. -why do it?- it is because of conviction. The conviction of one's own heart and soul to determine who is god. Are we ourselves, individually, each of us, god? a god? gods? Or, is there a singularity? is there a sovereign above "all others of everything that exists or ever will exist"? it is to answer inside ourselves, this question and resoundingly we all know, 'YES' is the true answer, but we do not want to relinquish our grip on 'our' life. Forgetting, of course, our life is a mystery. Without truth, life has no meaning. Lies have explanation, reasoning and emotion to keep hold of you, but the truth stands still, knowing you see it, and it waits for you to decide. the lies will mock you and ridicule you if you try and leave - the truth will not hold grudges or belittle you for the time you spent rejecting it. The Truth will set you free.
@41:40 - this is nicely put.
@48:13 - the distinction between other cultures' writing styles with reference to their gods and the Hebrew's GOD which sets them apart from every other nation and their gods and worship. the distinction in peoples and the impact of the one true God and his revelation to mankind through the Hebrew people and the promised salvation for the world through the same people. Ultimately how God uses the Hebrew to bless the whole world all the while when they reject God and fall back to the lesser gods, the natrions with false gods are used to "correct" the Hebrews. But noting how the difference in the way they talk about their gods is evident in how Genesis is written, not as myth.
@1:06:42 - great conclusion and I enjoyed this session and look forward to continuing the entire lesson. Thank you or this in depth study.
Thanks for these lectures. Hope you keep producing content.
Awsome teacher! THANKS
"Revelation ...."They call themselves Jews and are NOT." A REAL Jewish person o eyes the books of ELOHIM. Those that do not are classified as heathen whether they were born a Jew or NOT. The laws of ELOHIM regarding the LAND are very explicit about how to treat person's in the land. The MAJOR and MINOR Prophets spokr endlessly about it. Malachi (to house of Judah and would also apply to the House of EPHRAIM (called ISRAEL). “Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts. Jeremiah 22:3 Thus says the Lord: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place.
I am with you on pretty much all this just fine, but at about 40min you point out from the chart that judgement during age of Grace after death (for the non follower) is hell. I would state this perhaps differently, that it is a bypass, a jump to the great white throne judgement (1thes4..." not all will sleep, but the dead in christ will rise....").{i.e. those NOT in christ will not rise} ( Hell which is the final round up of all the unjust of the ages and rubbish that will not enter the new heavens and new earth, but will all be burned up together, biblically rolled up like a scroll and burned in fervent heat... classical concept being the greek "hell".. lake of fire... gehenna)
not many commenting. Its hard to get noticed on youtube. So i will write a comment. I am only part way in and you may well cover this in the minutes ahead. To claim as your member did that preaching from the OT you are not preaching the gospel, this is very narrow minded, but typical of evangelical thought. Well to me a few years back that would have seemed true. But now I see the entire OT was scripture to the apostles, and the church of the early 1st century. The whole thing is the gospel. The "good news." The idea that only Jesus as our personal saviour is the "gospel" is not only narrow minded, but I see now has crippled church thought for a long time. Does it stem from bad or misinformed teaching? The biblical OT as presented in straight forward reading shows a damaged creation, racked by disobedience on a spiritual plane which leads to the temptation and moral collapse of man and subsequent disobedience on the human plane as well, and ensuing death and decay. This is hinted at and visible as the "outside world" to the people of promise through the ages, the dispensations. The "gospel" is what the entire word of God is all about surely, the redemption of Gods created human family, creation itself groaning in decay, and the loss of original concept of inclusive "Eden" where both the spiritual family, the human family and God can live and commune freely. Something that was wrecked and God must withdraw from until it is restored. So the OT and the NT are "the good news" the "gospel" as revealed, not the bad news. The bad news the ancients already knew in their worldview and we in modernity have forgotten, or had the memory smoke screened out by the same spiritual rebellion, those true enemies powers principalities in heavenly places that Paul warns us about in Eph6. A smoke screen I have begun to see past. So any sermon from the OT can easily show that be it prior to law, or within law period, that it is part of the progression, the "good news" through the dispensations from the earliest ages (preflood) through the Babel time, to the period where God divorces the rebellious nations and forms His own people hedged by law against the incursions of the spiritual enemy who would try to destroy the promised line of the "seed" (Gen3:15) leading to the messiah. The beginning of the end of the works of the devil. That is surely the "good news" that the apostles preached in the early church. That the messiah as promised did come, has begun the destruction of the works of the enemy and we now have a blessed hope that "In the AGE to come" the culmination of the destruction of the enemy will conclude, us involved in the plan, and as stated in 1Cor15:28 and Rev22, the New earth and New heaven will usher in Gods original plan, where God can be "all in all" again, even greater than before perhaps. The only logical view is dispensations, and that the entire scripture from Gen1 to Rev22 is all "the GOSPEL, the good news" of Gods redemption of His intent. Salvation and restoration.... not just born again folk flitting off to heaven if they have been made to say a sinners prayer! You will see I am opinionated, and dispensational, and annoyed I put up with 38 years of evangelical narrow stupidity with reformed covenental influence. I will sub for a while as I have been also researching now for 6 years and interested, but we will likely disagree here or there. ha ha. ( I am also a non trinitarian now) Jesus did say he brings a sword didnt he? blessings.
... 2023 ...
There's a popular thought 💭 of today: the (king/authority/anti-christ) that had the fatal wound, that he recovered from; that it may not be a man but the Nation of that kingdom/horn/nation that looked like it had received so damaging/fatal wound/ear the nation could not recover from ... But GOD knows for sure 😃🙏🙏 PTL
Very true. That's the principle of deliberate obscurity. When I get to Revelation I will discuss that particular problem. But as you say: God alone knows. I think, in fact that is the great unifying principle. Satan doesn't know much better than the rest ofd us, and has always had his best effort in play, to have a "man of sin" and a "sinful nation" ready to go. I agree that 2023 or so has many pegs fitting into holes ... but not all. A reborn Islamic Caliphate could happen ... hard to tell; it depends on too many variables. We all know that Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt would like a shot at it. Many living men would make a fine anti-christ. This is one reason President Obama was mentioned in this way: he has a Muslim background, a charismatic personality, hates Israel and the West, and really likes being in power. But God could easily put all this on the back burner and make the world wait another generation or two. Blessings.
Praise G-d! The background photo ,been there over the last 55 years many many times...since B"H we have our own way as Jewish Chasidim, but even today I told a number of Muslim Arabs to find their path on Earth in serving G-d via Islam, may you all be Blessed in doing your mission in life as your faith says...Be Blessed. In the end result after 120 years we all go to His Throne for Judgement. "I KNEW You before concieved You" {"Well I tried to be like J-, and I tried to be like Elijah,I tied to be like John, .I tried to be like my Great Grandmother and Grandfather...." G-d will ask you with a Smile: "WHY were YOU not MORE like {ADD your name here}...!!
Thank you Dr. john. God bless you. Enjoying all your videos.
