Luke 2:1 And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. :2 This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. :3 So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. :4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, :5 To be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. :6 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. "(I think the archeologist should find records that He was registered there for Jesus's name for the date of His birth.)" :25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. :26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. :27 So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law, :28 he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said: :29 “Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to Your word; :30 For my eyes have seen Your salvation :31 Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples, :32 A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel.” :33 And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken of Him. :34 Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against :35 (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” :36 Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; :37 and this woman was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. :38 And coming in that instant she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
This was a heartwarming comment to read. I looked up 2 Kings 19 and saw where the Assyrian king went back to Nineveh and worshiped his false gods. How sad to have witnessed the power of the true living God, and to have not repented. It states that he was killed by two of his sons… And yet God is moving in the Middle East today like never before, drawing people unto him. I’ll see you in heaven. Maranatha!
What's really amazing is that what 2nd Kings chapter 18 and 19 gives you a candid understanding of what happened to that King Sennacherib and his character and his own sons who killed him.
*Random comment but I have recently became a Christian but I struggle reading the bible, I struggle with reading in general due to me being dyslexic. Yesterday I read the book of Obadiah and Jonah without an audiobook for the first time and today Expedition Bible uploads about this a day later!*
Yes, I understand. It's ok to read and study according to what works for you. Take it at your pace. I used to try methods that worked for others, when I finally realized that I need to read and study how it made sense for me. The Holy Spirit will teach you the same, no matter how your brain works. "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:8-10
Maybe a large print Bible could help…..I vary my study style to how my mind is functioning…..if great to good I will read and if it’s less I will watch archeological videos or Scripture explanation videos or at least something that hopefully doesn’t grieve The Holy Spirit…I get migraines so I have found having a variety of ways to learn helps me continue in some fashion….Stay Blessed
The last two weeks I have been obsessed about the history in the bible. I am on light duty at work and have to sit at a table for 10 hours. I can't be on my phone or asleep... So I brought my bible and notebook and have been absorbing so much incredible history. I am absolutely thrilled you made this video!!! Thank you so much!!!
I hope you know all the books that were omitted from the Bible. The writers must've felt that those books didn't follow their narrative, weren't conducive in gaining control of the masses. Promising forgiveness to all. The ultimate psyop. Jesus never wrote anything. All hearsay. Ppl actually think God will allow such nonsense. You can't have imperfect beings in a perfect place. Any critical thinker would deduce this. Why do you think old testament God told you to use discernment
You should try reading books older than the Bible. You will find some of those stories were stolen and re-written into it, that were written by far older cultures and religions. The story of the Ark comes to mind.
Yes, it will. The Christian's bibles are just very badly mistranslated and corrupted versions of the Torah/Tanach (The Real Word of G_d) with a lot changed including names, a whole lot added, and a whole lot taken out. Everything that G_d said not to do, Christianity did! Christianity lies! NO Hebrew/Jew was ever named Jesus, nor John, nor especially James. There is no letter J in the Hebrew alephbet, nor does any of the Hebrew letters even make a J sound. Try actually reading the scriptures where G_d gave the Torah and the Commandments to Mosche and the Children/Nation of Israel on Mt. Sinai. G_d specifically told them in no uncertain terms that neither they nor any of their descendents all through time are to Never veer to the right nor left of the Torah/Tanach! Never!!! Do you understand what that means? G_d also told them in no uncertain terms that neither they nor any of their descendents all through time are to Never accept anybody else's religion! Never!!! Do you understand what that means? The One True Creator G_d also warned not to add to, nor subtract from the Torah/Tanach, but Christianity did it anyway. Christianity adopted way too many idolatrous and pagan beliefs contrary to what The One True Creator G_d actually said.
Am Jack 34, from Kenya. 10years ago i took Bible archaeology as a unit during by Theology course organised by Baptist College of Ministry (IBM) Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. And i tell you today, this is the best channel ever!..I pray that God would enable me present this knowledge in Swahili to East Africa. It's a calling in my ❤️.
It would've been in school but the British ripped the city apart and dragged it to their museums. I don't understand why they don't have to give it back. Believe me if you so much as took an axe head ( which by the way is the most you can find in the way of Antiquities in Britain, when the people of Ur 3500 yrs ago had kitchen sinks and bathrooms the Brits were eating deer outside in their camp cities) you would be in jail but they are allowed to take what they want because they had no history to speak of. They did have their castles and mentally defechiant kings and queens but no bathrooms up to the 20th century.
@@cutkitvid9548You did hear him say that ISIS were based there? They have a poor record for preserving other archeological sites such as Palmyra; which they actually blew up. Whatever your thoughts on the British, the items shown are safe and can be seen.
I was with the 101st in Iraq 2003-2004. I was always very interested in history, especially ancient and biblical history. I was poor and wasn’t able to go to college at the time, hence why I joined the army. My chaplain was a big history buff, he and I built a great relationship searching for biblical history in Iraq during our down time. I would love to see you do more on Iraq.
"collective illusion" that today's Jews "EXCLUSIVELY" belong in historic Palestine. Judaism is an established Abrahamic religion (right). Some Jews converted to Christianity (but are still blood line of Abraham). Some Christians converted to Islam (but are still blood line of Abraham). Some non descendant of Abraham converted to Judaism (no blood relation to Abraham that were not in the middle east when converted to Judaism). WAT A MESS IS CREATED when people are displaced (forcibly or by intimidation) off their homeland because an ATHIEST in Europe wanted a "homeland" for a "religion" claiming an inhabited land with... PROPAGANDA LIE... "A land with no people, for a people with no land"... AND THE MESS HE CREATED. Ask yourself WHY you can not order a DNA test in israel today?
The prophecies relating to the fall of Babylon are incredible, they named the conquerer (Cyrus), what he would do (reduce the water level so that his troops could ford the river Euphrates), the two-leaved doors would be left open and how Jehovah God stated that she would never be inhabited. Isaiah 45:1, and the Babylonian Chronicle describes how Cyrus entered the city without a battle, Isaiah 44:27, Isaiah 45:1 (see page 84 Herodotus 'The Histories' Penguin Classics relate to reducing the river level and the two-leaved doors being left open). What is also fascinating is that Saddam Hussein started to rebuild Babylon, you may have seen his palace there, but the Gulf War happened and he never got to inhabit it and rebuild the rest of the city see Isaiah 13:20. No coincidence that he never got to live there was it?
I had the pleasure of going to Iraq three times with the army 90-91, 94 and 2005. I had the pleasure of spending a lot of time around Nineveh, Babylon, Ur and several other places. I have really enjoyed Watching your video, they are amazing and remind me of the opportunity i was given that few get to experience. Sadly alot of historical areas have been destroyed since my last visit in 2005. Thanks again for all your hard work!
As a Christian believer who studies archeology myself this episode was an extraordinary adventure! Mind blowing! Thank you God and thank you Mr. Joel Kramer !
@@hans9894Don't you realize that the Omnipotent Most High God YHVH 💫of the OT is the exact same Great 'I AM' All consuming 🔥 Fire the same Almighty God who spoke to Moses from the burning bush...is the same throughout all 66 books of the Holy Scriptures. If you think only the NT is about Christ....have you not read Isaiah 53rd chapter?!? Most certainly Our Elohim is the same yesterday today and tomorrow! I praise Him Halleluyah❤may He bless you also. >
@@hans9894 It has everything to do with being Christian or Messianic. Jesus is Jewish, so the entire Old Testament is the corpus of the faith fulfilled in Jesus Christ and His followers
Nineveh is one of my favorite ancient cities. They’re the ones who repented and turned to The Father when Jonah warned them. What a great tale and hope for this world. Jonah is in my top 3 favorite prophets. He’s so real and cranky. The story paints a very accurate of many called to share God’s message of repentance.
THIS WAS AWESOME!!! I learned so much! I love the correlation of the Bible and the archeological evidence. I watched this with my Bible on hand and went along. I mean this was seriously awesome!!!

I did 3, 15 month tours with the 101rst, 1 BCT, and have visited all the historical sites in Iraq, posted on these videos. Gives me goosebumps seeing these videos.
Thank you for you for your service. I saw all those places too. Miriam’s Tomb in Baghdad, the Zigurrat in Urr both stand out as some high points. Iraq is the second most mentioned place in the Bible. The entire history of God is hinged on events in Iraq. Abraham and his being given a sacrifice by God in order for Isaac to be spared and I walked there… …it sits on my shoulder and whispers into my soul every day.
It blows me away that there are still people in this world that deny the Biblical texts and their historical significance. Many of those are archaeologists themselves. The evidence is glaring, and many in this world refuse to accept it.
The Bible is a plagiarized compendium of human fairy tales. The evidence for this is overwhelming. The places described in the Bible are real that’s why you’re confused. It’s 2000 year old social engineering. If there’s any actual truth to it it describes beings called Elohim coming to earth and reproducing with the hominids they found here while carrying it genetic experiments. Reread Genesis from this perspective and you’ll understand.
@@honeybadgerismeOr they so high enducated that they dont need it... Its allways easy to point finger at others 🤫 It better to say OK and just move on in life👍 Most modern scientist Dont believe in god... Because they can great something That has nothing to do with faith 👌 I hope you understand the argument without getting your feelings hurt🤘
Wow. Listening to you describing the story of Ninevah was fascinating! Especially since today (Saturday march 30) is the day before Christ’s resurrection. I just ordered your book too. I heard you speak on American Family Radio several weeks ago and was so excited to hear you talk about your book. Thank you Father God for putting your heart in Mr Joel Kramer. He is such a blessing. From the (as yet) free state of Texas, USA🎆
I was there in 2011. Had a eye opening experience just before I came across a old washed out sign stating the name Nineveh... Will never forget seeing the outer walls from a Blackhawk... Realizing the true size was mind blowing.... To know I was somewhere mentioned in the Bible is ineffable..
I have read the scriptures several times over, but never could conceive in my mind how exactly you have explained it. I'm so amazed at the facts and artifacts pointed. Thank you sir, and my prayers continue to go to you and what you are doing!
This is one of the most watchable presentation. It provides an intelligent synopsis of the historical record as provided by the Bible and arc heology. Well done most informative.
@@beccagee5905 Italy exists as a nation state, not Rome, learn basic history. Rome included most of Europe, North Africa, and the near East…. is that what Italy currently controls? No
Buy the book! I did and I love it. I have laid out on a table. When I walk by it and see it with it's beautiful title "Where God Came Down", I get blessed every time! It reminds me of God. Thanks so much for the book and the story about Ninaveh.
I am in the midst of studying the minor prophets. THIS video of Nineveh was the lightbulb moment for me in getting my heart and mind emotionally engaged with what was going on at the time. I can't thank you enough for all the effort it took to presenting the material in this visual form. It has expedited my understanding in reading prophetic literature in Scripture!
Man I love GOD'S timing. Just recently finished teaching through Hezekiah's story and boom here's another great video talking about the archaeology of what's in the word. Great video Brother!! Keep it up! For those who cannot afford your book, it's a total blessing!!
after reading Romans i know for sure the Roman C church is corrupt which is exactly why Paul Wrote to the Romans in all of details of salvation by Faith alone in Christ alone and by Grace alone. God is faithful, not the church. @christsavesreadromans1096
I love this guy! I don’t know of any other scholar that puts the details together the way that he does in these videos. He not only shows us the Biblical discoveries, but also he heaps along the archeological support to the story and makes it real. I always look forward to his new videos as well as any videos that I may have missed. He gives me hope, the hope that I need right now in Him who will save us from this evil and tumultuous world. I pray God will bless him in this and all of his future endeavors.
@@thesamaddition6370no it’s called Acadian. It’s a related language to Aramaic. Both are Semitic languages. So it’s not a huge stretch that Jesus spoke both. From what I can tell he spoke Latin also and possibly Greek.
@@TheJollyKraut My friend use your head, They found the Assyrians king name inscribed at Nineveh. Then they found more information on the siege of Lakish. Through ASSYRIAN records. Specifically a record of the Assyrian king telling the king of Judah at the time, they would invade. They link 2 separate accounts, to the same event. It’s a perfect match meaning the story in the Bible was proven correct, literally how it’s described. My friend don’t let logic drag you into fire, logic is good to have but too much of it disrupts faith.
@@TheJollyKrautsome parts of the Bible are obviously here for symbolism there's no denying that, but I see the Bible as an ancient history book. There are too many accurate depictions of events to deny the authenticity of the words of god
As an Assyrian, I do appreciate all the effort you have taken to make this! It was an eye opening for me to know where the old Assyrian capital Nineveh located. Your illustration was so informative in regard to the maps and drone footage! Been in the city many times but left Mesopotamia 25 years ago! There are much excavations to do in regard to the walls of Nineveh as you can notice! But unfortunately the careless government over the years and ISIS, besides the persecution of its Native inhabitants people over thousands years. Thanks for the effort
I was literally there at the London Museum staring at all this three weeks ago, and had no idea the depth and breadth the amount of Biblical proof I was walking by and looking at and taking pictures of. Literally laughing and in tears right now. Thank you for all you do. My God is real, my God is alive, and he still speaks through historical record. I feel like Moses in front of the burning bush right now.
That made me suddenly feel awash with thankfulness! Amen. Jesus be with us. Pray for all the lost that they may embrace the truth of Jesus Christ and the Bible.
a: The British took as much as they could carry from anywhere they were. b: In a way, this is a blessing because groups like ISIS destroy such relics because they are "idols" like they did with other Assyrian ruins. @@paulhart7739
Having explored these rooms in the British Museum a few years ago and spent a bit of time looking into Isaiah 36 and 37 I find this really fascinating.
@@deborahgonzalezknight168- Let’s hope those wokesters in the BM don’t give it all back to Iraq and put all the priceless treasures under threat of destruction again.
I stumbled upon these videos this week. I can’t believe how well produced and researched these videos are! This series has to be one of the best biblical archeology I’ve ever watched. The videos are not too short and not too long. How you put so much info into these and have just the perfect time flow is simply amazing.
I'm thankful to the LORD for allowing these places to be found and studied. I'm also thankful for Joel for doing the work that allows us to see it as well 🙏🏻
This brings back memories! In Iraq, where I grew up we had a great olive tree in the garden. My dad and grandmother laid sheets under the tree and beat it with sticks to harvest the olives. I helped too. It was great fun for a kid! That was more than 25 years ago.
I am blessed to come across your UA-cam channel. Thank you for confirming the archeological evidences with the Bible. Your teaching reaffirms by faith and believe in God and Christianity. God bless you 🙏. Greetings from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬
@@Astronauttt37543 i believe there is no soul safety and sanity to study about that demonic mithra mythology whatsoever. So what would be the point going on that path apart from losing time and soul.

God bless you with all His almighty and glorious love @Astronautt37543 i mean no offense to you i am wishing you peace, really. I studied myself ancient mythology on other continents and the Bible just gives us the answer right on point even about those other ancient mythologies. The Bible covers everything we need to know it just takes to read it : open the book, and God’s word does the rest in your heart, and opens the eyes of your heart 🙏🏻❤️🔥🕊️ Everyone is loved with so much love, most people do not know yet how much they are knowned and loved by God and i pray that they are aknowledged and enjoy being loved. Sweet sweet, humble, adorable, divine love like a balm on our unique heart.
I saw a talk you did on this a few years ago at an American church and I just loved the detail and proof of God’s promise that came through in your presentation. So glad you posted this!! The aerial shots and visual graphics you use are so helpful! Your book is great and I can’t wait to give my family a copy this year.
Thank you for your work it’s amazing. I was born in Iraq and left the country at age 13. There is so much history in this holy country. Abraham was born in Ur and so much more to know. The ninivites speak Assyrian ( Aramaic) which I preserved until this day and will never stop speaking and writing it and teaching it to my children. God bless you for sharing this with the world 🙏
@nenem, love what you are saying, I feel there is now a critical mass who are fedup with the sick and selfish world we inhabite. I live in hope that the Christians of your world and mine will one day unite against the evil alaround us. Greetings from Galway, Ireland
@laurenbays1820 Velvet underground? Maureen Tucker, Lou Reed etc? How can you make such a judgemental sweeping statement, even if it wasn't totally off topic?
I can't thank you enough for your amazingly well done and understandable videos. I watch them with my 8 and 10 year old daughters and we are always amazed at how good God is.
I’m in the same boat with my 11&8 year olds. How amazing it is to be able to show them tangible evidence of the Word. It’s sparked a great interest in their hearts and helped the Bible really come to life for them!
the way that you use the Bible and archeology to tell history is amazing. This UA-cam channel has some of the most compelling Bible evidence I have ever seen.
The best lies are the ones with some truth in them, obviously the bible has a lot of historical truth in it but it’s also full of fibs too. There’s no evidence whatsoever to support the existence of a god though 🫢
Again, you did a great work on this clip. The way you presented it, tying in the Biblical account with evidence on the ground. The shots from the drones of the city of Nineveh and Lachish really helped. The beating of the olive tree also helped to understand scripture. Great job. Thanks. I have your book also.
Hands down my favorite archeological channel EVER! Thank you so much Joel and to your son as well for going to these amazing and awesome places that The Lord has mentioned in His Word. Praise God and Jesus Christ!! God bless you! MARANATHA ♥️
Archaeology just keeps confirming Scripture! 😊 We don't NEED it to, but it's certainly nice to see. Also, your book is wonderful. Thank you, brother Joel, and God bless you.
@@mbgrafix If Jesus stood before, unglorified, and showed them His hands and side, they would deny Him to His face as a mass hallucination. Still I think The Father will delay Jesus Day, until the very last second, just to gather everyone.
Archaeology proves that Bible stories were set in places that really existed. It does NOT prove that anything supernatural ever happened in those places.
@@mbgrafix We don't need to deny. All we need to do is point out how moronic this argument is. Just because a place mentioned in the Bible exists doesn't mean the events in the Bible actually happened. Just like a fictional movie isn't true simply because the city the movie is set in exists.
Wow I just read his prayer and it is like a man pleading for the lives of his family. I was amazed to read further along that Isaiah told Hezekiah the Lord heard his prayer and Sennacherib was stopped.
For many years I have been writing and performing original music as a way to reach youth and young adults. I wrote a song about the Angel of the Lord slaying the soldiers of Sennacherib which I titled Sleep. It is one of our most requested and enjoyed tunes wherever we play. Thanks Joel for painting such a clear picture of these ancient sites, and always linking it to the related scriptures. The Bible is amazing! Perfect peace to you and your family.
Absolutely fantastic, Joel. You did such an amazing job at pulling everything together, telling the story, illustrating the parallel of the God head's redemptive plan. Blessings!
I spent a year in Mosul running convoys with the Army back in 2005-06 and drove past this site many times. There is so much history to see in Mosul. Thanks Joel for all the work you do. From your friends at Lifeline :)
this has encouraged so many people I know. Have shared it with some people who have shared it with more people and been super encouraged in their faith. God is using you my brother with your passions and gifts for His Kingdom. Keep 'em coming!!!! 🙏🙌
As an armchair archeologist I can't thank you enough for your help in bringing the Bible to life. Having seen all your videos and read your awesome book I find your work simply fantastic!
This man is just incredible. I was never raised in the church. I started going on my own as I grew into adulthood and I had questions about life and god. The way he so easily connects the text with the archaeological evidence is just indisputable evidence about the truth of the Bible. It’s incredible watching your show. Truly.
Very good. Thank you for doing this video. I am from Iraq, Assyrian descent. There's so much history in Iraq and sadly we only hear about Egypt and other countries. Thank You for doing this video to show the richness of Iraq aka Assyria. God bless you.
Fascinating info!! Thank you for sharing! I appreciate your efforts to compile a visually engaging video to show & explain both the Bible narrative & extra-Biblical artifacts. Totally brilliant how you layer all of this & the variety of locations & the red marks/lines to accentuate specially important details. Thank you for these highlighted details, they made your presentation noticeably easier to understand. And thank you for mentioning/including the importance of God’s covenant to not allow Jerusalem to be destroyed! That is a crucial piece of info that could easily be overlooked or dismissed by unbelievers. God does keep His covenants with His people, which are the people who choose to honor & worship Him above all else. The entire video is very well done!! I’m so glad I spent my time watching it bc I enjoyed what I learned!!! History is fascinating, thank you for creating & producing an amazing retelling of a significant piece of it!! God bless you, your family, & all who are helping you to do this great work of creating these meaningful videos!
I just can’t get enough of your videos. They are unpacking the bible like never before. I cannot get enough and I wish they would come out more regularly. Thank you so much for this content
GOD is NEVER late, too early or leave any task unaccomplished. Neither is HE slothful or unsure about what HE needs to do. Much Blessings and thanks for these bits of information we receive from you from time to time.
Thank you for putting this all together so well; this is exactly what men and women want to see, the link up with biblical teachings and archaeology ... great work!
Your videos are fascinating. You bring the Bible alive. love the story of Jonah as a child , realize the importance in my Christian walk as an adult. Joel thank you for your excellent work.
Joel I can’t thank you enough for these videos. We are studying the Israel kings right now and we are like 3 kings before Ezekiah, so this video couldn’t come in a more perfect time. We have the records and literature but to have the images, maps and archeological evidence all together is gold. Thank you so much.

:4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, :5 To be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. :6 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered.
"(I think the archeologist should find records that He was registered there for Jesus's name for the date of His birth.)"
:25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. :26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. :27 So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law, :28 he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said:
:29 “Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace,
According to Your word;
:30 For my eyes have seen Your salvation
:31 Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples,
:32 A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles,
And the glory of Your people Israel.”
:33 And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken of Him. :34 Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against :35 (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
:36 Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; :37 and this woman was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. :38 And coming in that instant she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

Maybe a large print Bible could help…..I vary my study style to how my mind is functioning…..if great to good I will read and if it’s less I will watch archeological videos or Scripture explanation videos or at least something that hopefully doesn’t grieve The Holy Spirit…I get migraines so I have found having a variety of ways to learn helps me continue in some fashion….Stay Blessed

Amen
Way to go my friend
The Antichrist is likely to be an Assyrian!
I respect you brother. Best choice you have made in your life.
Does that mean you believe IN Jesus as Messiah?¿?
God's work will never be frustrated. I've learned to trust in Him. Nothing else has compared.
The last two weeks I have been obsessed about the history in the bible. I am on light duty at work and have to sit at a table for 10 hours. I can't be on my phone or asleep... So I brought my bible and notebook and have been absorbing so much incredible history. I am absolutely thrilled you made this video!!! Thank you so much!!!
I hope you know all the books that were omitted from the Bible. The writers must've felt that those books didn't follow their narrative, weren't conducive in gaining control of the masses. Promising forgiveness to all. The ultimate psyop. Jesus never wrote anything. All hearsay. Ppl actually think God will allow such nonsense. You can't have imperfect beings in a perfect place. Any critical thinker would deduce this. Why do you think old testament God told you to use discernment
Have you checked out Ron Wyatt?? Good stuff
@jakebotha171 I have not but... I definitely will!!! I'm on medical leave now so I have nothing but time to fill!!! Thank you!!! 😁
All the history of the Bible was stallen from the history of Iraq and Assyria the Great...Jewish is a Seifert and stallen other people
You should try reading books older than the Bible. You will find some of those stories were stolen and re-written into it, that were written by far older cultures and religions. The story of the Ark comes to mind.
I’m an Assyrian Christian. Thank you for this video.
I'm a Christian n the history of assyrian,hitites ,amorites,etc.makes me curious about the ancient world
Beautiful ❤️😍
As an Assyrian I’m so thankful we have our history still alive and rich, isis tried to wipe Christians out from Iraq but our faith will never die ❤
Yes, it will. The Christian's bibles are just very badly mistranslated and corrupted versions of the Torah/Tanach (The Real Word of G_d) with a lot changed including names, a whole lot added, and a whole lot taken out. Everything that G_d said not to do, Christianity did! Christianity lies! NO Hebrew/Jew was ever named Jesus, nor John, nor especially James. There is no letter J in the Hebrew alephbet, nor does any of the Hebrew letters even make a J sound. Try actually reading the scriptures where G_d gave the Torah and the Commandments to Mosche and the Children/Nation of Israel on Mt. Sinai. G_d specifically told them in no uncertain terms that neither they nor any of their descendents all through time are to Never veer to the right nor left of the Torah/Tanach! Never!!! Do you understand what that means? G_d also told them in no uncertain terms that neither they nor any of their descendents all through time are to Never accept anybody else's religion! Never!!! Do you understand what that means? The One True Creator G_d also warned not to add to, nor subtract from the Torah/Tanach, but Christianity did it anyway. Christianity adopted way too many idolatrous and pagan beliefs contrary to what The One True Creator G_d actually said.
God bless you friend ❤️✝️❤️🇺🇸

And i tell you today, this is the best channel ever!..I pray that God would enable me present this knowledge in Swahili to East Africa. It's a calling in my ❤️.
This is your history as well!

God Bless You!
I live 25 minutes away from the Falls awesome to see someone from the other side of the world come to study in our neck of the woods.
This is the kind of history that should be taught in schools.with every evidence possible so no one can deny it.. beautiful.
Agree 👍💯
Absolutely @joeyrivera192, that would be wonderful! Let’s teach the children the real history of Biblical events.
It would've been in school but the British ripped the city apart and dragged it to their museums. I don't understand why they don't have to give it back. Believe me if you so much as took an axe head ( which by the way is the most you can find in the way of Antiquities in Britain, when the people of Ur 3500 yrs ago had kitchen sinks and bathrooms the Brits were eating deer outside in their camp cities) you would be in jail but they are allowed to take what they want because they had no history to speak of. They did have their castles and mentally defechiant kings and queens but no bathrooms up to the 20th century.
What is it that people could not deny in the face of this evidence?
@@cutkitvid9548You did hear him say that ISIS were based there? They have a poor record for preserving other archeological sites such as Palmyra; which they actually blew up. Whatever your thoughts on the British, the items shown are safe and can be seen.

I was with the 101st in Iraq 2003-2004. I was always very interested in history, especially ancient and biblical history. I was poor and wasn’t able to go to college at the time, hence why I joined the army. My chaplain was a big history buff, he and I built a great relationship searching for biblical history in Iraq during our down time. I would love to see you do more on Iraq.
"collective illusion" that today's Jews "EXCLUSIVELY" belong in historic Palestine. Judaism is an established Abrahamic religion (right). Some Jews converted to Christianity (but are still blood line of Abraham). Some Christians converted to Islam (but are still blood line of Abraham). Some non descendant of Abraham converted to Judaism (no blood relation to Abraham that were not in the middle east when converted to Judaism).
WAT A MESS IS CREATED when people are displaced (forcibly or by intimidation) off their homeland because an ATHIEST in Europe wanted a "homeland" for a "religion" claiming an inhabited land with... PROPAGANDA LIE... "A land with no people, for a people with no land"...
AND THE MESS HE CREATED.

The prophecies relating to the fall of Babylon are incredible, they named the conquerer (Cyrus), what he would do (reduce the water level so that his troops could ford the river Euphrates), the two-leaved doors would be left open and how Jehovah God stated that she would never be inhabited. Isaiah 45:1, and the Babylonian Chronicle describes how Cyrus entered the city without a battle, Isaiah 44:27, Isaiah 45:1 (see page 84 Herodotus 'The Histories' Penguin Classics relate to reducing the river level and the two-leaved doors being left open). What is also fascinating is that Saddam Hussein started to rebuild Babylon, you may have seen his palace there, but the Gulf War happened and he never got to inhabit it and rebuild the rest of the city see Isaiah 13:20. No coincidence that he never got to live there was it?

Isn't it odd that so recently the historical areas have been destroyed?

Nineveh is one of my favorite ancient cities.
They’re the ones who repented and turned to The Father when Jonah warned them. What a great tale and hope for this world.
Jonah is in my top 3 favorite prophets. He’s so real and cranky. The story paints a very accurate of many called to share God’s message of repentance.

Thank you for your service. God bless you and your family and friends ♥️♥️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for you for your service. I saw all those places too. Miriam’s Tomb in Baghdad, the Zigurrat in Urr both stand out as some high points. Iraq is the second most mentioned place in the Bible. The entire history of God is hinged on events in Iraq. Abraham and his being given a sacrifice by God in order for Isaac to be spared and I walked there… …it sits on my shoulder and whispers into my soul every day.
You were very fortunate.😉
Thank you…..for your service! ❤️🙏🌹
It blows me away that there are still people in this world that deny the Biblical texts and their historical significance. Many of those are archaeologists themselves. The evidence is glaring, and many in this world refuse to accept it.
They don't accept it because they'd have to accept morality and their personal guilt for lacking it.
Hmm may God heal them from their blindness
The Bible is a plagiarized compendium of human fairy tales. The evidence for this is overwhelming. The places described in the Bible are real that’s why you’re confused. It’s 2000 year old social engineering. If there’s any actual truth to it it describes beings called Elohim coming to earth and reproducing with the hominids they found here while carrying it genetic experiments. Reread Genesis from this perspective and you’ll understand.

I’m in the same boat with my 11&8 year olds. How amazing it is to be able to show them tangible evidence of the Word. It’s sparked a great interest in their hearts and helped the Bible really come to life for them!
the way that you use the Bible and archeology to tell history is amazing. This UA-cam channel has some of the most compelling Bible evidence I have ever seen.
The best lies are the ones with some truth in them, obviously the bible has a lot of historical truth in it but it’s also full of fibs too. There’s no evidence whatsoever to support the existence of a god though 🫢
Another fantastic example of how biblical and archaeological evidence enhance each other. (Unlike the Quran or Book of Mormon)
Love these videos! Very well done and appreciate you always adding the Gospel at the end.
Again, you did a great work on this clip. The way you presented it, tying in the Biblical account with evidence on the ground. The shots from the drones of the city of Nineveh and Lachish really helped. The beating of the olive tree also helped to understand scripture. Great job. Thanks. I have your book also.

@@mbgrafix We don't need to deny. All we need to do is point out how moronic this argument is. Just because a place mentioned in the Bible exists doesn't mean the events in the Bible actually happened. Just like a fictional movie isn't true simply because the city the movie is set in exists.

The Jordan, Euphrates, Bow and EL-bow are all rivers 🙌 ALLELUIA 🙌 A-men' 💘
Youre definitely crazy.
This man is just incredible. I was never raised in the church. I started going on my own as I grew into adulthood and I had questions about life and god. The way he so easily connects the text with the archaeological evidence is just indisputable evidence about the truth of the Bible. It’s incredible watching your show. Truly.
Very good. Thank you for doing this video. I am from Iraq, Assyrian descent. There's so much history in Iraq and sadly we only hear about Egypt and other countries. Thank You for doing this video to show the richness of Iraq aka Assyria. God bless you.
Thank you so much! I always get a deeper meaning of the word of God through these.
Joel provides excellent real biblical archeology. His book, "Where God Came Down" is equally amazing.
Fascinating info!! Thank you for sharing! I appreciate your efforts to compile a visually engaging video to show & explain both the Bible narrative & extra-Biblical artifacts. Totally brilliant how you layer all of this & the variety of locations & the red marks/lines to accentuate specially important details. Thank you for these highlighted details, they made your presentation noticeably easier to understand.
And thank you for mentioning/including the importance of God’s covenant to not allow Jerusalem to be destroyed! That is a crucial piece of info that could easily be overlooked or dismissed by unbelievers. God does keep His covenants with His people, which are the people who choose to honor & worship Him above all else.
The entire video is very well done!! I’m so glad I spent my time watching it bc I enjoyed what I learned!!! History is fascinating, thank you for creating & producing an amazing retelling of a significant piece of it!!
God bless you, your family, & all who are helping you to do this great work of creating these meaningful videos!
IM ASSYRIAN AND MAY GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH BLESS YOU AND YOUR WHOLE HOUSE HOLD.
Amén!
First time watching this channel. Praise God for your work. There is evidence everywhere. We have no excuses.
I just can’t get enough of your videos. They are unpacking the bible like never before. I cannot get enough and I wish they would come out more regularly. Thank you so much for this content
GOD is NEVER late, too early or leave any task unaccomplished.
Neither is HE slothful or unsure about what HE needs to do.
Much Blessings and thanks for these bits of information we receive from you from time to time.
Your teaching is excellent.
You're a real gift to Acheology and Bible teachings.
Always hyped for a new EB upload!🙏🏾 God Bless!
THE Best!
I love your channel! You make Bible history so relevant and practical that even a child can understand it. ❤ Much love from South Africa
I am always blessed when I hear you share. I am blessed!
Thank you for putting this all together so well; this is exactly what men and women want to see, the link up with biblical teachings and archaeology ... great work!
Your videos are fascinating. You bring the Bible alive. love the story of Jonah as a child , realize the importance in my Christian walk as an adult. Joel thank you for your excellent work.
Joel I can’t thank you enough for these videos. We are studying the Israel kings right now and we are like 3 kings before Ezekiah, so this video couldn’t come in a more perfect time. We have the records and literature but to have the images, maps and archeological evidence all together is gold. Thank you so much.
Joel thank you so much for always keeping us up to date with new archeology finds in biblical history.
