You’ll find nearly everything the Bible has to say about the end in the Book of Revelation: a mystifying prophecy filled with bizarre symbolism, violent imagery, mangled syntax, confounding contradictions, and very firm ideas about the horrors that await us all. But whether you understand the book as a literal description of what will soon come to pass, interpret it as a metaphorical expression of hope for those suffering now, or only recognize its highlights from pop culture, what you think Revelation reveals…is almost certainly wrong.

😂Warning if u read negative energy will creep out yr feet. Tell it's time for Jesus energy wash. 😮.
I am retired on a fixed income (poor) but I love your work and Dr. Ehrman's work. I can't sign up for the course, but can I ask a favor? Perhaps you can ask him something that has been bothering me a long time: How could Saul of Tarsus be a Roman citizen? Not that I believe the stories in Acts, but just how likely is that? And why would a learned Pharisee be a tent maker? Thanks for your work.
So he is saying the the judases an the jezabels of the end time will have these afflictions. So those that are judge an jury an those that are executioners of fellow man. Have made there bed so Jesus will fill it for them. Words are daggers. Actions is a sword whether it's on offense or defense. That's up to u we steer our own ship.
You are wrong, God is a wonderful God, just lo0ok at all the wonderful thing It allows us to do -
**PROSTITUTION**
All Israel went thither a whoring after it: J’g 8:27
the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, II Ch 21:13
they now commit whoredoms with her, Eze 23:43
all them that go a whoring from thee. Ps 73:27
They have gone a whoring from under their God. Ho 4:12
they be the children of whoredoms. Ho 2:4
your daughters shall commit whoredom,,, I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, Ho 4:13-14
**THIEVERY**
The thief cometh not, but to steal, kill and destroy. Joh 10:10
the LORD so cometh as a thief in the night. 1 Th 5:2
the LORD will come as a thief in the night; 2 Pe 3:10
watch, I will come on thee as a thief, Re 3:3
Behold, I come as a thief. Re 16:15
**WAR AND GENOCIDE**
He teacheth my hands to war Ps 18:35; 144:1
Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: Jer 51: 20
Yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think he doeth God service. Joh 16:2
**RAPE, MURDER, CHILD ABUSE, MUTILATION, HOMOSEXUALITY**
For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women raped Zech 14:2
They intended to kill me; instead, they ravished my concubine so that she died Ju 20: 5
And I took hold of my concubine and cut her in pieces Ju 20:6-11
he took her and lay with her by force. He was deeply attracted to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, Ge 32:2
Here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. Please let me bring them out that you may ravish them and do to them whatever you wish. Ju 19 :24
(Men of Sodom) said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them.” Ge 19:4
Their little ones also will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses will be plundered, and their wives ravished Isaiah 13:16
They ravished the women in Zion,(The Christian church) and the virgins in the cities of Judah. La 5:11
**CANNIBALISM**
thou mayest kill and eat flesh De 12:15
Ye shall eat the flesh of your sons and daughters Lev. 26:29
The LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat. Nu 11:18
and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, De 4:20
Thou shalt eat the fruits of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and daughters, De 28:53
woman (the Church) said give thy son, that we may eat him II Ki 6:28
That ye may eat flesh and drink blood. Eze 39: 17
Thy flesh and thy body are consumed Pr 5:11
I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: Isa 44:19
Colonizers moving to the America’s (most of them Christians) would run out of food by the time they reached the Caribbean, that was unfortunate for the non Christian Caribbean people, which consequently were deemed to be subhuman or animals, and were literally eaten into extinction by the colonizers: That practice was transferred to North American Indians, which were slaughtered and shipped to Europe to be sold as an exotic meat called “The Long Pig”:
eat every one the flesh of another.” Zec 11: 9:
If you ever wondered what ever motivated Christians to kill and eat other people, and or their own children, to be whores, to rape children, commit genocide, murder and other atrocities and heinous crimes; with verses such as the former, and worshipers ignorant of the symbolic language used by the Bible, you can consider that to be the motivating factor.
What ? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and not receive evil ? Job 2: 10
Yeah, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him” Job 13: 15.
I am damned, proud to be Christian! Praise the LORD, Amen that, and Hellallayuya!
Jesus IS God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). I’m not saying God is good and bad but…. He does create and destroy, he does shine, and cast shadows. He allows life, and death. Etc etc.
My son had a long-time girlfriend who is a Classical Greek Scholar. He has told me that Jezebelle in Rev passage is translated just as Dr Ehrman said. Quite disturbing if I may say.
no no no he pushed her on the bed to sit her down and talk to her he told her the futur pleasure men that she will be sleeping with will carry disease bro
I agree with Martin Luther on this much: Revelation has NOTHING to do with the rest of the Bible and was a fever-dream from some esoteric thinking guy on an obscure island. Imagine how different everything would have been if Luther actually took it out of the Bible? All the "end times" stuff from protestants wouldn't have happened and politics would be very different as a result.
What are Visions but dreams
Luther is a guy who was so rabidly anti-Semitic he wrote On The Jews And Their Lies and he has problems with Revelations wishing it wasn't in the Bible. I think that sums it up.
Luther was high on something. He was like your modern atheist who thinks he could have less problem with scripture once he cuts out, like Thomas Jefferson, part of the Bible he doesn't understand.
@@joecurran2811 THANK YOU!! the "Recommendations" that he makes in "The Jews and their Lies'" eerily reads like the checklist for Kristallnacht. Luther recommended 1) that Jewish rabbis, sages (and the males) should be taken out, humiliated and killed; 2) the Torah scrolls should be burned, the synagogues torched 3) Jewish women and children should be made to work in "concentrated labor" (his words) for xians to the "glory of christ". And WHY did Luther write this Anti-Semitic piece of filth? Because in his 20 year (!) campaign to convert the Jews to "Lutherism", the chief rabbi not only REFUSED to induce ANY of his community to convert to Luther's Xianity, but rather took the bold and audacious stance that if Luther chucked his Catholicism, why not go all the way and convert to Judaism; challenging Luther's "superiority". He saw that Luther had a brilliant mind and originally was a "friend" of the Jewish people. But that quickly changed in about 5 years when the Jews did NOT convert en masse.
@@Lerian_V Jefferson was NOT an atheist. He was a deist and believed to keep religion OUT of the political sphere. The Colonists had escaped the Crown with its own National Church, to which people still pay taxes, to this day!
Reading the comments reminds me how much I love Bart being an equal opportunity offender of dogmatic extremists on both sides
Dogmatism is everyone's enemy, and causes tremendous amounts of harm. No matter what side of any issue you (anyone) are, I hope we can agree that dogmatism is never beneficial.
You could say I'm dogmatically against dogmatism! Lol, but in all seriousness, I think every belief should be open to scrutiny, including this belief obviously.
@@trybunt Dogmas are useful. It's like an expert authority, after a lot of debates, saying "this question is now settled, now let's deal with the remaining open questions."
@@Lerian_V I would agree that considering some things as settled is handy to get on with our lives, but I think there's an obvious difference between being convinced a matter is settled, and thinking a matter undeniably settled. That's what dogmatism is, right? Thinking something is unquestionably true? I just can't see how adding "this cannot be questioned" helps in any way. Happy to learn if I'm wrong 🤷♂️
Yea buddy, he does that well doesn't he.
Growing up in baptist and pentacostal holiness churches I've only heard revelations taught as a book of symbolism and metaphors, and the rapture was taught based just on the verses about two being in the field and one being left. It's definitely a breath of fresh air to hear from Dr Ehrman
Brother, the historical Jezebel was dead almost 900 years before Christ. It becomes incomprehensible when you try to interpret this literally.
I read your response before you deleted it, so I must add something: there's no reasonable possibility that someone close to the time of Jesus referencing verses from the old testament all the time mistakenly thought she was alive, because she is literally cited previously in the old testament. From this we are lead to conclude that whoever wrote this is astronomically likely to not mean this literally.
@@Samura1313 I didn't delete anything, but I completely agree with you. It's just like the misinterpreting of the mark of the beast. To stick with the original number then you'd have to admit that time has come and gone
@@vernonbandy2597 That's somewhat different. What you just described is changing the interpretation because the time has past and it didn't work, this is changing the interpretation because it doesn't make sense at any moment of all existing history to interpret this literally.
@@Samura1313 yeah, it never made sense. I think there's one theory that John was either on a sort of psychedelic trip or just schizophrenic
Finally someone talks about Revelation chapter 2. I've been talking about it for years. It's strange no one else mentions it because it ruins the peace loving image of Jesus.
I have been following Dr Bart Ehrman since I found him in 2012. I would check out his audio books from the library. I have learned so much from him. At that time I had already left the church 12 years before. The things that I know about the Bible are not things that I knew as an average Christian. I know more things as an ex-believer than I ever would as a practicing Pentecostal believer who's every moment was spent in the church. Sunday morning service, Evening service, Young Peoples Night, Missionary Night, bible study and Sunday school. One would think that I would know the Bible backwards and forwards. What you know is what you are taught that is within your church. I say this to say, that the most basic and average believer knows very little about the Bible, it origins and the historical accounts and etc. They are NOT watching things like this or doing any diligent research to verify any of the accounts or meanings contained within those pages UNLESS you are starting to question the Bible, the church's teachings and etc. It is how I landed here with some questions when answered didn't make sense or couldn't make sense. None of this would have ever reached me in my echo chamber and if it did, I would allow the apologists to explain away those things and I would still be an active member 24 years later. Fundamentalists are much harder to reach, because they're not looking for, nor listening to anything that would make them take a closer look at the texts and the scriptures. I know this because I have NEVER heard any of the things I have heard and learned since leaving the church. This is not what is being preached or reaching the masses that practice Christianity.
So good. Everything was waved off as “who are we to question “. Amazing.
I agree with you as an ex Baptist then turned Seventh Day Adventist…🙄 But the truth for me is I have witnessed God’s Devine presence in my life on so many occasions and in extreme circumstances that I can not deny His existence nor Jesus. For me, it’s so difficult to believe in God but see man’s fingerprints all over His word. I’ve really had to delve deep into my soul for Him and he’s most certainly there; guiding, loving and providing. The God of the Bible is NOT the God that I have come to know. The gnostic accounts are more aligned, for me anyway.
I’m always so thrilled when you have Bart on, such a fascinating conversation and he’s always so easy to understand. He has a way of simplifying these complicated bible topics. Can’t get enough of him.
His not evil your evil and you cant tell what good or bad is . Its called justice.
@@raz6630 Your comment makes no sense here. Perhaps you’re thinking of a different video or a conversation you’re having with someone else or possibly the voices in your head?
I was lucky enough to meet him and told him he's changing the world for the better by making Biblical scholarship digestible to the general public.
Same . I recently discovered him and can’t stop watch videos with him in it lol
no no no he pushed her on the bed to sit her down and talk to her he told her the futur pleasure men that she will be sleeping with will carry disease bro
Bart is great. I really enjoy listening to his knowledge of religious texts.
RB Thieme Jr is great
Jesus did talk about torture. He said it is better to cut off your own hand if it causes you to sin rather than have your entire body thrown into Hell fire. He also in a parable talked about a rich man who was suffering in Hell and had no water, and he cried out to Lazarus for help and water but it was said a great divide existed between the two of them that could not be crossed. If Jesus came and only said nice things, I wouldn't have any problems with him. The problems I have stem from him very much enforcing the existence of Hell and eternal suffering as the alternative to following him.
Can you prove that a different reality exists? I doubt it
That’s “Mutilation” not “Torture”.
I say Jesus failed. I see no point in trying to gloss that. It goes to show, in my experience, that even a lot of critical scholars still have this residual reverence for Jesus that won't allow them to say anything that might sound judgemental or negative. They still see Jesus as sinless and asexual, pure in motivation, noble of purpose. They all seem to think he was self-possessed. That he had a plan and worked his plan. That he had a consistent and thought-out theology, etc. They still have a hard time seeing him as an authentic, messy human with messy thinking and selfish traits and unintended consequences. I know that Dr. Ehrman does NOT think Jesus got crucified on purpose but it's amazing how many critical scholars do.
Yes his thinking most of the time is that of an apologist. Carrier respects him to a point but also thinks some of his work is sloppy.
That is a great observation. Listening to Bart is like listening to a christian. He gives me the impression of being a C.S. Lewis type of christian with a bit more oomph!
A lot of New Testament scholars seem to have an emotional attachment to Jesus and Christianity - even if they're not Christian.
@@decades5643 lol so unless an atheistic or agnostic scholar says “Jesus never existed” then they still have some sort of love and emotional attachment for him???? Come on..
@@superjam18 No. I'm not a mythicist myself. You can sometimes tell when reading a scholars work or listening to their interviews. Of course, I'm not saying all NT scholars are like that.
I can’t wait for Jesus to come back and take his followers from here. That would be really good 😅
Yeppeeeee! It will be heaven here on Earth! 🤪
I'm just finishing Bart's new book Armageddon. Very good and easy read! Recommend it to anyone who has not looked into the Book of Revelation, along with Crossan's recent book Render Unto Caesar. This is a very fascinating topic in the NT (and of course very misunderstood).

Excellent Podcast. I really like Bart. Especially what he says about the fundamentalists. It's nice to hear a realistic view.
Check this out. Dr. Scott Hahn, former Presbyterian pastor, journeys through the intellectual and cultural ideologies, as well as the historical figures, that led up to the Protestant Reformation. The title of the lecture is "The Forerunners of the Reformation". SEE LINK BELOW
The Forerunners of the Reformation - ua-cam.com/video/CTMX4C169bg/v-deo.html
What I like about Bart is that he is a historian. He isn't any type of Christian. You be a good person without religion. I like that he has a podcast that gives to charity.
I also like that he doesn't believe the rapture literally.
So if jezebel was already dead when Jesus said that we can’t take the literal meaning of Jesus quote as just that throwing I bed has a deeper meaning
@@vickydestephano7415 ... Ehrman is not a historian... his degrees are from seminary schools about religion and theology... albeit from good seminaries unlike the numerous bad ones... but still... he is not a historian and has no history degrees.
That there was anyone who had not realized that God, Christ and the Angels are evil in Revelation is just sad and scary.
Revelation 2:22 says in all translations:
"Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation,"
Does not say that they will do anything with her, but that those who are doing already adultery, will suffer.
Could you please explain professor.
Do u not know what adultery is? Those who cheat on their wives, it’s a euphemism. The verse before talks about her sexual immorality, so do the math
Beware, I am throwing her on a bed, and those who commit adultery with her I am throwing into great distress, unless they repent of her doings, 23 and I will strike her children dead.
Nope. Its not all translations. Most do, yes. But surprisingly not the King James or the Amplified. If you go to the original Greek, its just "bed". Not bed of sickness.
In fact, some translations say "bed of suffering".
κλίνην (klinēn)
Noun - Accusative Feminine Singular
Strong's 2825: A couch, bed, portable bed or mat, a couch for reclining at meals, possibly also a bier. From klino; a couch. [The Greek says nothing about a bed "of sickness." Ehrman is correct on this point.]
What Iam I witness here, the man is saying that Barts Point is incorrect not the translation.
@@JB92354 a bier is a coffin, most well people don't lie on bier.
It is fascinating to watch Bart and Derek stroke each other's egos.
It’s fascinating to watch theists deflect and deny anything that goes against their bias
@@JRRTokeKing It is fascinating that some atheists think they are above deflection, denial and bias.
@@jpt7955 they aren’t, but you haven’t demonstrated where either Derek or Bart are doing that.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 cmon bro.. quit the ad hominem and articulate your position
Thanks for the shorter video. I love the brevity and how much fascinating things are discussed.
Revelation 2:20-22
READ for yourself and understand what the scripture is saying. I would recommend reading whole chapter to get a better understanding of what Christ is saying
20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
He has every right to be evil in my opinion jezebel spirit is behind a lot broken families, school shootings and mass murder, girlfriend boyfriend relationships lead to the fornication sin and lust leads to depression and hell, the love of Jesus is amazing once you realize what he died for
That sounds kooky Jesus has the right to be evil to vanquish evil 😂
I am so glad that my parents never took me to church and poisoned my mind with this horrible religion.
IKR
Jealous. I was indoctrinated from childhood, it took years to get it out of my system
I’m somewhat grateful for my indoctrination. Working my way through what I was taught and questioning what I was told to believe made me so much stronger mentally and has fined tuned my nonsense detecting ability.
I'm so glad that my parents took me the Church because church only capable us to go into heaven the New Jerusalem . Thanks 🙏🏼
@@nahshonpani6495 let us know how heaven is
When Bart mentions the food given to idols and not to eat of it goes back to the idea that gods needed the scent of the food. They ate a meal then with the god who has accepted the smell of the food and then communed with the person who offered it.
Idols, in biblespeak, refers to the evil winter season of darkness.
Really? I thought it meant other gods than the one of the Torah
Small g=other gods (idols), large G=G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
@@path-wayworshipministies5434 there is no capital letters in hebrew where the old testament comes from.. .So im curious how do you think a capital g or a lowercase G means something.... Just curious.
@@AkramSaheb My apologies, I used for emphasis. When you eat the food sacrificed to a certain deity and then eat it, you are literally communing with that deity because it was offered to said deity.
“Jezebel” in Revelation represents the Mary worship in catholicism. Thyatira represents Roman catholics, one of the 7 “churches”
Actually it did happen in 70 AD, Jesus reigned for a thousand years or close to it, and we're now living in "Satan's little season."
Look into Mudflood and Tartaria. Tartaria is a term coined by theorists looking into this phenomenon, and not all examples of the mudflood are accurate, some things do simply get buried or built on top of over time, but we've clearly lost parts of our history that can't be explained. From dates being changed, to descriptions of certain places and events in the Bible not adding up to the location it was said to have taken place, that's because much of what happened in the Bible happened in the Americas. There's many correlations backing up this theory from the fact that corn is mentioned in the Bible but doesn't grow in Egypt, although it does grow in America. There are more Egyptian artifacts found in America than in modern day Egypt itself.
California is coincidentally called the Land of Milk and honey, and on old maps it shows CA as an island and the waterway in between was called the Red Sea.
Much of this may be coincidence, but I've barely mentioned a fraction of the evidence. I'd encourage anyone to look into themselves.
Look at the different cataclysms that seemed to happen around the world around the same time of the fall of the Roman Empire.
Look at all these buildings that seem to be buried by a mudslide or the rock itself around certain structures built into cliff sides looking like they've melted around them.
If we take the New Testament's book of Revelation as literal via the lens of a Bibliolater then we also think that tangible stars that outsize planet Earth by 100 fold are going to literally fall to the Earth's ground like hail.
If God wants this, it will happen! What’s so hard to understand??

Bart Erhman's,early christianity and the battle of the scriptures lessons woke me up .Turned me on to the awarness of there being two gods.Which I was not aware of growing up in a Baptist church in North Carolina. Bart spoke about a group of Jewish people called the Ebonites who follow the laws of the creater god(yahweh)or (the eloheim) gods of the old testament, who was a god or gods of wrath and law ,who made laws to tough for his people to follow.And another group of people called the marcionites ,who believed there was another god an unknowable god who had no dealings with the world whatsoever, until he sent his son into the world to reveal the Good new and his father's existance.Which I would say was revealed to john the son of the zebedee family brother of James in the book the ,nag hammadi library's (secret book of John).Which talks about what jesus or the son of man revealed to his disciple John and his disciples including mary magdalene as well.The Father the mother and the only child, the son of the mother father .And the first ruler sophia's offspring yaldaboath, who called himself the jealous god of the old testament and the earth he created being his foot stoole,which was destroyed many times.Then he created many gods and emination of himself totaling twelve and yaldaboath being the thirteenth the chief ruler.which reminds me of the gods of Astrology. So the secret teaching revealed to those of spirit might prepare themselves when they leave this material universe back to their place of origin.Beyond that I could see no involvement in the material universe or this world by the father mother being that the teaching show the father was unknown .Adam being the first to come down and he was shown the way of asenstion thru secret knowledge.That my understanding of it so far.Then there is the origin of the world, nag hammadi and the reality of the rulers.
You are deceived, he's a lying mason
What a surprise, a emotional "Christian" who left Christianity
How does a UNC professor have such a lazy interpretation of Revelations 2: 18-26.
*Because Academia, WARS against "LIFE The Real Self" !*
Rev 2:26 - "To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations- 27 that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’" And, this is why you should accept the love of Jesus, so you get to dash nations to pieces. 🪒🪒🪒🪒🪒🪒🪒🪒🪒🪒🪒🪒
As a believer I'm not bothered by this in the least. Humans probably don't know even one percent of all there is to know about the reality of God. So its very unwise to cast aspersions towards almighty God. Regarding the issue of evil or anything else, from a TINY pea brain perspective of colossal ignorance, again, regarding all of divine reality.
So why was this truth revealed in the first place, if our tiny pea brains (and God created them to be tiny and pea-like in the first place) can't handle it? I thought God was not the author of confusion.
Bart's a humble and well reasoned agnostic and I can't believe a truly 'good' god would condemn him and similar people like Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan, etc. to potential eternal torture just because they tried to find _truth_ through analysis and reason instead of faith or fear!
At least I hope not because such a god would be evil beyond all description!
Evil by who's standards?
@@jpt7955 Mine!
@@cardcounter21 mine too!
@@jpt7955by any rational and compassionate standards.
Eternal torture is a lie. The wages of sin is death, it isn't being resurrected as a sort of undead creature to experience conscious eternal torture. The punishment for rejecting God and nonrepentance is to be literally left dead for eternity. Ironically, this is the very post-death fated nonexistence Steven Hawking, Carl Sagan, etc already believe in anyway. The stereotypical view of hell with pitchforked devils and chained is a Catholic Papacy-invented mythology that unfortunately has been passed on. Catholics were very fond of burning people alive and torturing them back in the day. That idea of hell simply isn't in the Bible any more than the rapture is (also a Catholic invention of a jesuit priest).
I agree that most Christians have a distorted/unbalanced/incomplete view of Jesus. But the ‘nice’ Jesus and ‘mean’ Jesus are not contradictory portrayals; they are complementary, two aspects of a whole. If you read the whole Bible, it’s easy to see that God has a consistent pattern throughout: 1. He creates/saves by grace through faith; 2. He teaches good and evil, requiring us to choose good; 3. He gives us much time and many chances to try, fail and try again, but eventually judges us-rewarding according to our works, good for good, bad for bad. (That pattern can be seen with Adam and Eve, with Israel in Exodus and on, and for both Jew and Gentile).
In (Luke 4:18-21) Jesus quotes (Isaiah 61:1-2) but cuts it short (“…AND…” and What?). As he said, he fulfilled as much as he read. His unnatural cliffhanging stop seems designed to point to part two, his second coming, as described in Revelation, a time of vengeance. Also in (John 8:26), we see that Jesus has unfinished business in terms of judgement-but he only now speaks what the Father directs him to speak.
Mission 1: Warn and give a chance to repent and be saved from judgement.
Mission 2: Judgement (etc).
my favorite part was the plug for his upcoming lecture at the end. "don't get left behind..."
This "work", The Revelation, contrasts to the simple teaching of Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus teaches in a way that even a simple mind or child could understand. These teachers always have a new book to sell. Listen, if you need a man's word to interpret these scriptures then pray for understanding and the Father/Jesus will give it to you. Exercise your faith.
Bart is the GOAT on this stuff. I just re-upped my subscription to the blog and can't wait for the web webinar!
Ah so you buy into his pyramid scheme.

So Jesus never expected revelations to happen in his life time. As Jesus said" there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth"( extreme pain).
Biblically Gnashing of teeth of teeth indicate wrath, but ok.
Christ is a badass, he takes no prisoners and he's back for revenge. Make no mistake, and the rapture is BS.
Wow his last statement, what a logical statement. Thanks to critical thinkers😊
Blessed are those who hear the words of this conversation, for the (coffee) time is near!
Keep mocking God while you can
"In righteousness He judges and wages war." "He's called Faithful and True."
Several points of disagreement:
First: in at least one of Paul’s epistles he states that those who are still alive in “the end” will be taken up to Heaven, and meet those who had already died, and on their way up their bodies will transform into “spiritual bodies”. That sounds like “Rapture” to me.
Second: Never in the canonical epistles is Jesus said to “return”, or have a “second coming”. Nearly 40 times he is said to “COME” soon (for the first time)
Third: Revelation was very likely written before the Gospels. Therefore it shows an EARLIER concept of the Christ -as God’s agent who is to destroy the enemies of Israel. The Jesus of the Gospels is later whitewashed into a kindlier/gentlier version of this avenger.

What about this translation? Revelation 2:21-22 (NIV) 21 I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. 22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways.
Would "casting her on a bed of suffering" corresponds with what Paul said in Roman. Romans 1:24 (NIV)
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
I never heard that about Jesus and I read the whole Bible to my knowledge.
Other problematic things in that book: the scorpion-horse-locusts. The fire-breathing jews. It goes on like this.

The entire bible must be read as allegory.
@@harveywabbit9541 No, the Bible is composed of different books with different sections that are different genres.
Another thing is that sections aren't purely one genre or another but a mix, so a more historical book like kings can be arranged in an allegorical way.

“Solomon determined to build a house for the name of the Lord (Sun during summer), and a house for his kingdom " = the year (2 Chron. 2.1, 12). Accordingly, Solomon began to build the Lord's house "in the second day of the second month (April), in the fourth year of his reign " (2 Chron. 3.2), and finished it " in the month Bul (October), which is the eighth month. So, he was seven years in building it" (1 Kings 6.38). Here, if we reckon the years as months, all will harmonize, otherwise we will stumble upon insurmountable difficulty. For, if Solomon commenced to build the Lord's house " in the second day of the second month Zif (April), and finished it in the month Bul, which is the eighth month " (October), he certainly did not work even or entire years. But if we call these years, months, all difficulty will vanish. The second month, then, will be the fourth, counting from January, of Solomon's reign, because the Sun is born, i.e., begins his reign, from the winter solstice. This house of the Lord was built during, and corresponds with, the seven months of the Creation. It also corresponds to the seven degrees of the Royal Arch mason. But in the building of his own house, Solomon occupied thirteen years (the thirteen lunar months), and these thirteen years (lunar months) began with Solomon's reign, and ended with the year. Solomon's house was the same as the Tabernacle, which, says Josephus, "was made in way of representation and imitation of the universe," or of the year. (Antiq., B. 3, cap. 7.)
The astronomy of the Bible being that of the Ptolemaic system, the reader will naturally, of course, be led to look for epicycles, i.e., small circles so placed that their centers move in and about the circumference of a great circle; and sure enough, here they are in 1 Kings 6.5: "And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about (i.e., circular chambers), against the walls of the house round about (i.e., of the circular house), both of the temple and the oracle," i.e., the holy of holies. We also find such described in Ezekiel 40.16, and 41.16, but much more complex. The number of these epicycles varied according to the fancy of the author. Thus, when the number had risen to thirty-four, Aristotle added twenty-two more. This number not being adequate, additions were still made until the system became so cumbrous that it fell of its own weight, and gave place to the Copernican, which we call the true system

Except for my personal experience, if the gospel was not true, why would the disciples all die not changing their testimony? Would the all die for a lie? If Israel is not Gods choseb people, where are the other nations of the Bible? Israel stands alone, "this nation shall not pass away".
Speaking of Revelation, it is a metaphorical book, "a dragon will rise up from the sea", do you think it is a real dragon? So my point is that Jezebel is a spirit not a woman. Read the whole context.
Jesus is actually the Sun. Bible is metaphoric and astrotheology.
Absolutely, it is astounding that many bible readers do not understand anything about the zodiacs used throughout the bible. We have ignorant people who don't know the building of the temple and its destruction is nothing more than the changing of the seasons.
I looked for that chapter and verse but they all gave a very different account. They never mentioned a baby unless it’s the Phillips translation where he goes on a tangent . Write this to the angel of the Church in Thyatira: ‘These are the words of the Son of God whose eyes blaze like fire and whose feet shine like the finest bronze: I know what you have done. I know of your love and your loyalty, your service and your endurance. Moreover, I know that you are doing more than you did at first. But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel who calls herself a prophetess, but who by her teaching deceives my servants into sexual immorality and eating idols’-meat. I have given her time to repent but she has shown no desire to repent of her immorality. See, now, how I throw her into bed and her lovers with her, and I will send them terrible suffering unless they repent of what she has done. As for her children, I shall strike them dead. Then all the Churches will know that I am the one who searches men’s hearts and minds, and that I will reward each one of you according to your deeds
Bart is reading the original language, right? so maybe it's more obvious? But that is literally saying what he said. He will throw her onto a bed, curse her lovers, and kill her offspring.
End of the day, it says what it says.
CATHOLIC BIBLE
18“To the angel of the church in Thyatira,(a) write this:
“‘The Son of God, whose eyes are like a fiery flame and whose feet are like polished brass, says this:
19“I know your works, your love, faith, service, and endurance, and that your last works are greater than the first.
20Yet I hold this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, who teaches and misleads my servants to play the harlot and to eat food sacrificed to idols.(b)
21I have given her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her harlotry.
22So I will cast her on a sickbed and plunge those who commit adultery with her into intense suffering unless they repent of her works.
23I will also put her children(c) to death. Thus shall all the churches come to know that I am the searcher of hearts and minds and that I will give each of you what your works deserve.
24But I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not uphold this teaching and know nothing of the so-called deep secrets of Satan(d): on you I will place no further burden,
25except that you must hold fast to what you have until I come.
26“‘“To the victor,* who keeps to my ways* until the end,
I will give authority over the nations.
27He will rule them with an iron rod.
Like clay vessels will they be smashed,
28just as I received authority from my Father. And to him I will give the morning star.
29“‘“Whoever has ears ought to hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’
Footnotes:
(a) Thyatira: modern Akhisar, ca. forty miles southeast of Pergamum, a frontier town famous for its workers’ guilds (cf. Acts 16:14), membership in which may have involved festal meals in pagan temples.
(b) The scheming and treacherous Jezebel of old (cf. 1 Kgs 19:1-2; 21:1-14; 2 Kgs 9:22, 30-34) introduced pagan customs into the religion of Israel; this new Jezebel was doing the same to Christianity.
(c) CHILDREN: SPIRITUAL DESCENDANTS.
(d) The so-called deep secrets of Satan: literally, “the deep things of Satan,” a scathing reference to the perverse teaching of the Nicolaitans (Rev 2:15).
(e) The Christian who perseveres in faith will share in Christ’s messianic authority (cf. Ps 2:8-9) and resurrection victory over death, symbolized by the morning star; cf. Rev 22:16.
(f) Who keeps to my ways: literally, “who keeps my works.”

The best way to understand the Discourse is to notice that the disciples have made an incorrect, albeit understandable, assumption when they question Jesus-that the destruction of the temple and the city of Jerusalem is the end of the age and must be somehow associated with the coming of Christ in the clouds with great glory. But Jesus will correct this mistaken assumption and speak of two distinct events separated by an indeterminate period of time (this is characteristic of so-called Reformed amillennialism). The first event to occur is the destruction of the city and the temple, and includes the horrible suffering of A.D. 70, after which Israel will be cut off and left desolate. The second event of which Jesus speaks is the end of the age, when the Son of Man will return in final judgment.
The key, then, to interpret the passage correctly, is to look at the disciple’s questions and to see how Jesus answers them (in light of Daniel’s prophecy) so as to correct their misconception about the destruction of the temple and the end of the age being the same event. As we will see from Jesus' answers, these two complexes of events (Jesus' death, resurrection, and ascension, followed by the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in A.D. 70, and then his second coming at the end of the age) are the redemptive-historical bookends of the interadvental age.But Jesus gives another sign, one which indicates these things extend beyond the destruction of Jerusalem into the present age. Says Jesus, the gospel must be preached to all nations before the end can come. Then talking of the church let's not confuse the Roman Catholic Church with the Church of Christ.
John (the Johaninne school) is Pauline in theology and gentile in origin. The name “John” was to pick a neutral party in the early pillars from Paul’s letter Galatians. Peter likely didn’t sit well with James or Paul (as we see in Galatians) and imo Paul and James had a bitter falling out. So “John” is the pillar who comes to Paul’s aid, using much of Paul’s teachings throughout the Gospel and the letters.

Everything is and must be subject to scrutiny. You’re not a kid, listen to them and take what makes sense and deny what doesn’t. In order for a Buddhist to leave their faith, they must listen to the opposition. Stop being lazy.
Paul said many interesting things, especially regarding choosing what is right but that your right may not be suitable for others.
He realized the idol is nothing, as God rules, yet weaker believers may be swayed by idol worship, I e recent concerts from Corinth.
I'm not so convinced that Jesus wouldn't kill innocent children or call for the raping of a woman. I mean he said he came to not bring peace but a sword in Matthew 10 (opposite of mashiach) and was there to set family members apart. To destroy the family unit. To make sons fight with fathers, daughters with mothers, etc. In Luke 19: 27 he commands his folowers to bring the nonbelievers to him and slay them. No, Jesus sounds pretty violent to me and the opposite of humble.
Assuming the guy actually said these things (i.e that someone wrote that he said them).
Assuming he actually existed.
Well of course to both of you. Jebus seems to pull from myths and rulers in many ways. Augustus, Hercules, Alexander. The entire resurrection is probably pulled from Ishtar's decent into the underworld. Zombies (resurrection of the dead) and all after she and Tammuz come back to the world of the living.

It's not "slay them before me", it's "shew them before me", which means to bring/show. You're quoting a supernatural Mandela Effect bible change, which itself was foretold in many prophecies of both the old and new testament.
Apart from the oral tradition, how else would someone come to the understanding of believing in God the Father, Son, etc., but from the Bible. I can see how someone would/could conflate the two. It seems strange to me that anyone would be perplexed by it.
It seems like the fundamentalists would have this right though. How can you believe in the guy if you don't believe in the book that establishes the guy? Am I wrong here?
Grace and peace of God the Father amd our Lord Jesus Christ be with all who love to do the will of God... Jesus is alive and because He lives we too will live...What a wonderful assurance we have in the book of revelation.

I so appreciate this talks. Thank you. If being a christian is not about believing the bible, howcome all christians constantly argue about the bible and interpret it differently? If a God inspired to the Bible I think the message should have been to unite christians?
Revelation chapter 2 seems to be about misleading people away from God. He's angry that people are mislead from him. He casts judgment on those like Jezebel, but chapter 2 has more, misleading his people. But he gave Jezebel so much time, so much time, alot of time to repent for misleading his people. But Jezebel refuses to repent in her misleadings and he allows her to continue to see who else will lay in bed with her and who else follow her thereafter to determine their hearts and minds. But he does casts judgment on her for refusing to repent on misleading his people and for the people he lost to her.

Err Revelation 3:8-10 is ALSO another Rapture verse, whether the word “rapture” is used or not does not discredit the valid idea:
“I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.”
Revelation 3:8, 10
What about where Jesus says in Luke 17: " I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. 35 oThere will be two women grinding together. One will be taken and the other left.”10 37 And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, q“Where the corpse11 is, there the vultures12 will gather.”

If Jesus is evil, how are priests able to exorcise demons from possessed individuals using his name ?
Personally I think it’s the power of belief. His name acts like a talisman in a sense. It is powerful because so many people believe and have believed for centuries. It’s not a matter of if he’s real or good/bad it’s that they believe in the power they feel his image represents. We are “god” experiencing itself in human form. We have the power to do the “impossible”.
Because evil attracts evil..you cannot solve problems
/illness with the same consciousness used to create them… Imagine if there was a large “conspiracy” to keep as many people at a low and deathly frequency..would you want the answer code released? Nope. Jesus is still the scapegoat to pacify. And it absolves the persons free will and self power. There is no work to be done so it’s so much easier to call on a name to buy in to the delusion
'jesus was wrong, but he didn't fail. I don't like to think of Jesus as failing. But he was wrong." Splitting hairs, dude. Jesus failed. And his prophesy failed.
I am not a scholar, but it was revealed to me, that the book of revelation is a revelation of what wiould happened if Jesus didn’t come on earth.

Why has Christianity has such a profound impact on the world? The reason is that millions of people from rich and famous to poor and unknown have experienced the love and forgiveness that comes by placing their lives in His hands. My life was forever changed in 1987 as a messed up teenager. It's not wise to scoff at things you don't really have an understanding of.
It's okay to be sceptical, but to undermine Gods Word and fight against Jesus, the Son of God, is very dangerous.
It’s wise to scoff at things we have an understanding of that deserve to be scoffed at. There’s nothing dangerous about being critical of the Bible if God doesn’t exist. Derek and Bart were both Christians at one point, your Christian platitudes are nothing new and bring nothing new to the table when it comes to evidence.
The evidence behind the claim that the God of the Bible exists is non existent. All we have are claims, anecdotes and platitudes. The only logical conclusion is to not accept the claim until the evidence shows it’s true.
Also, just because something has had a big impact on the world, it doesn’t mean it’s true. Islam has had a massive impact on the world, using your logic it is also true.

It's amazing how poorly Bart Ehrman understands scripture. He reads it like a novice. It's really unbelievable.
Revelation 2:22 is part of a message to the church in Thyatira, warning them about a false prophetess referred to as Jezebel. The Catholic Church interprets this verse as a warning from God to those who follow her teachings. Those who commit adultery with her, meaning those who partake in her false teachings and immoral actions, will suffer intensely unless they repent.
The Church views the Book of Revelation as a series of warnings addressed to people of all epochs, viewing from an eternal perspective the dangers, internal and external, which affect the Church in all epochs. The aim of the Apocalypse, the most difficult book of the Bible to interpret, is eminently practical.
In the context of Revelation 2:22, the Church sees it as a call to repentance for those who have been led astray by false teachings. It’s a reminder that God is just and will not let sin go unpunished.

You're coping.
I'm still waiting for someone to adequately explain Isaiah 45:7
Whoever wrote Isaiah was bragging, "My God can beat up your God!"
It comes down to interpretation of the original language. I presume your referring to the use of the word “evil”. Here are the passages in the NKJV version.
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting
That there is none besides Me.
I am the Lord, and there is no other;
7 I form the light and create darkness,
I make peace and create calamity;
I, the Lord, do all these things.’
these verses show the contrast between what provides and what you get when he withdraws his provision. Calamity is a better(and possible) interpretation of the Hebrew here.
The Hebrew word translated as “evil” (ra‘) in the King James Version of Isaiah 45:7 has two applications in the Bible. The term can be used in the sense of moral evil, such as wickedness and sin (Matthew 12:35; Judges 3:12; Proverbs 8:13; 3 John 1:11), or it can refer to harmful natural events, calamity, misfortune, adversity, affliction, or disaster. It is in this second sense that Isaiah speaks, and his meaning is reflected in most modern Bible translations of Isaiah 45:7 (emphasis added): “I make success and create disaster” (HCSB); “I make well-being and create calamity” (ESV); “I send good times and bad times” (NLT).
This is the trouble with nonbelievers and 'scholars' who set out to disprove the scripture. They are not unbiased and will latch onto 'ahah gotcha now, you lying bastards' they come across.
@@nathanmorgan3647 This is the trouble with apologetics. Calamities and disasters are evil. Lying about the facts of the discussion do not change the facts of the discussion.

It’s not about believing in the “Bible”; it’s about believing in the testimonies of those who were contemporaries of Christ. And these who testified, testified not only of Christ, but also of the historicity of the Old Testament accounts. So the early Christians, just as we do today, were accepting the testimonies of those who were contemporary with Jesus, with or without the scripture being laid down in writing.
I'm totally shocked, and like Dereck said, will let it have to sink in.
Why are you shocked?
Nero in fact was not even so bad as emperor,he didn't put Rome on fire for instance.
Nero was a rich douche just like the Jewish Rabbis and Christian Bishops, his inaction (and those previous to him) caused Rome to be littered with flammables and lots of tired/overworked and angry/afraid people to allow the fire to go.

I'm impressed, that's a lot of effort, on your part and on God's part. Something to look forward to and to look back on. I would tend to read that as the hope of salvation and deliverance from destruction, indeed a promise, not of my own doing. Interesting, thanks. It all depends on what message the hearer is hearing. What my frame of reference is.
If I am looking at it from Adams' perspective after he realises he is naked I would definitely be worried, if I didn't know I was naked probably not so worried.

@@wilfredmancy JESUS - FATHER AND SON AT THE SAME TIME ?
Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus Christ, Christ Jesus, the Christ, the Spirit of God, Jehovah Gods? Are they all the same Things?
The answer to that is - Yes and no: what follows explains why
Jesus Christ is rarely mentioned in the four Go-spells, therein Jesus is predominantly referred to as Jesus of Nazareth (the man):
Jesus Christ is mentioned twice in M’t 1: 1, as a “Generation of Jesus Christ”, in other words, what is being generated; then in M’t 1: 20 as what is born of a Holy Ghost.
Jesus Christ is mentioned once in M’r 1: 1 in relation to “the gospel of Jesus Christ”.
Jesus Christ is referred to three times in John, in 1: 17 as “The truth that came from Jesus Christ, in 17: 3 wherewith Jesus speaks of Jesus Christ in the third person singular as what is “sent from God”, and in 20: 31 as what is “written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ”.
None of those instances actually call Jesus Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is not mentioned even once in the Book of Luke: not until the fifth Go-spell is Jesus called Jesus Christ, subsequent to Jesus being “approved of God” in Ac 2:22.
By now, one may suspect that perhaps Jesus is not the same Thing as Christ.
That suspicion is not without merit, whereas, Bible Dictionaries confirm that suspicion by listing Jesus and Christ separately.
In addition to that are several verses whereby Jesus refers to Christ in the third person singular, for instance, the following
"Jesus asked them, What think ye of Christ? Whose son is he?" M’t 22: 42.
“The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ;” Re 11: 15.
In the latter we see a comma in front of “and”, indicating two separate ideas, which pertain to four separate Things.
The two ideas:
1. A capitalized lower case “Lord”, according to standard English practice of capitalizing a word referring to a Deity or God: “Lord” is known to pertain to Jesus.
2. “His Christ”. Who’s Christ is It? Well, “His” refers to God “fruit after his kind” Ge 1:11, “the Christ of God” Lu 9:20 “The Father of spirits” Nu 16:22, “the Father raiseth up the dead,” Joh 5: 21.
The four separate Things:
1] the soul of Jesus the man “IN”
2] the Thing called Christ “Apprehended of Christ” Ph’p 3: 12, “Prisoner of Christ” Ph’m 1: 9,
3] the Spirit of God whose abode is in Christ (“in it he had rested” Ge 2:3) but is now “in”
4] the body of Jesus (“To wit, that God was in Christ” II Co 5:19).
The former explains how this is possible - “I am in the Father, and the Father in me,” Joh 14:11; thus, the Spirit of God in the body of the man that was called Jesus of Nazareth, that Thing is now called Jesus Christ: the Thing in which the soul of Jesus the man is in and from whence the Spirit came is “Christ Jesus”.
“God hath made that same Jesus,,, both Lord and Christ.” Ac 2: 37, thereafter, subsequent to that man receiving a Holy Ghost from the Father in Ac 2: 33,
“That same Jesus” is referred to as “Jesus Christ”.
“He (LORD) had restored a dead body to life,” 2 Ki 8:5
That is the difference between the man Jesus of Nazareth, the Spirit called God that abides in the Device/Thing called Christ, the Spirit of God in the body of the man Jesus called Jesus Christ, and “the Christ of God” with the soul of the man Jesus in It called Christ Jesus.
Moreover, “Jesus Christ” is a title which refers to the combination of an otherworldly entity, inside the body of a man, that is the only way Jesus the man is the Christ.
This is reality, Jesus was a man that was used as a host body, an Avatar for a Spirit of the “LORD of Hosts”, hence some Jesus’ titles alluding to that scenario -
“Host of the LORD” Jos 5: 14,
“Heavenly Host” Lu 2:13,
“God manifest in the flesh” 1 Ti 3: 16, and, this peculiar title: “A stranger and an Alien” Ps 69: 8 (an appropriate title if one is to comprehend an alien spirit inside the body of a man).
Jehovah Gods/Jehovah Elohim, the Spirits in the Christ, the Gods, “all that are in Christ“ 1Pe 5:14
Behold!
“They that use this World” 1 Co 7: 31;
“they are not of the world,” Joh 17: 14;
“they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, ”Ps 21:11;
“he (the device/Jehovah/LORD/Christ/the Word, etc.) it is that brought us” Jos 24: 17
“we are in him” I Jo 5:20;
“we brought nothing into this world” 1 Ti 6: 7
“except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh’ Da 2: 11
“in him(It) we live and move and have our being” Ac 17:27
“These be thy Gods, O Israel” Ex 32: 4, 8;
“Aliens of the commonwealth of Israel” Eph 2: 12.
What? Did you think God is called "LORD of Hosts" and Jesus Called "Heavenly Host and Host of the LORD" because God frequently held dinner parties at Jesus' house?
Revelation is not about the end of the world, but rather the end of the Mosaic Old Covenant system, with the temple sacrifices and earthly priesthood, etc.. Do a search for the word "city" in the book of Revelation, it was predicting the soon destruction of the city of Jerusalem, following a symbolic, or spiritual, coming of a "New Jerusalem" which replaces the form and function of the old Jerusalem. A light to the world with one high priest, Jesus Christ, forever interceding for mankind. You don't know this Bart?
For the Jezebel scene, because Bart & Co really like to take this out of context:
To the Church in Thyatira
18 “To the angel of the church in Thyatira write:
These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. 19 I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.
20 Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. 21 I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. 22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. 23 I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.
24 Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets, ‘I will not impose any other burden on you, 25 except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
26 To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations- 27 that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’[b]-just as I have received authority from my Father. 28 I will also give that one the morning star. 29 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
As you can read, Jezebel got the chance to repent, but she is unwilling, the people who commit these sexual acts with her also get a chance to repent but if they don't do this, there are concequences. And that is the gospel right there, we humans get a chance here on earth to repent from our evil ways and live the life God has intended for us, and if we don't there will be judged for it.
An internet skeptics gets the bible out of context. There's nothing new under the sun
WoW - and you think that "context" makes it ok????
