I am really happy to have found this channel. You are doing us interested in these subjects a great service by making these presentations not overly complex while still giving evidence and differing views in the literature.
I rarely remember to like videos that benefited from, even when i write comments i still forget to like the videos. But for this channel i like them as much as i can maybe i help with reach of your channel, because you are doing a great job. Thank you ❤
John Hamer is so good with the pop culture references that I kept expecting him to make an Arrested Development joke when talking about Tobias. Anyway, thanks for another great lecture. ✌️👍
Peace to you, John. I have been adding many of these "History, Theology, Philosophy lectures" to a UA-cam Playlist to listen to when I can. These are very interesting and educational, but it will take a while to get through them all, as they are 39 and counting so far. 🙂
As someone in Canada I'm very split. I love John and his work but the fact his congregation is revisionist Mormons/Latter-day Saints makes me uneasy. I'll check out their presence in Monreal but my interactions with regular Mormons has been very sad with clear culty tones (got into a fascinsting discussion with a duo going around evangelizing and when the younger of the two seemed very intrigued by some of the ideas I brought up the older pulled him away as he had the saddest expression in his eyes which have haunted me for years
@@thishandleistacken I believe John is unlike any other rigid views in any religion. I believe John a honest man open to ideas or beliefs. Blessings to you and yours.
@@TinaBUTCHER-ph1ph yes but a very progressive and reform heavy branch off to the point there is little comparison between this (Community of Christ) and traditional American Mormonism
The Biblically accurate angels meme actually has to do with the frightening, very inhuman multi-winged and multi-headed angels described at points in the Bible. It contrasts them against the very sanitized angels of popular culture. It's not quite accurate, since there are also more human-esque angels in the Bible, as discussed in the lecture, but it's fun.
And the multi-heads represent something that seemingly all cultures understood in their cultural context. There are typically 4 heads and they represent the fixed signs of the zodiac. Not that Hebrews were astrological worshippers, but because astronomy was so important and known to all in ancient cultures. It showed YHWH’s control over the whole entire year. They can also look all 4 ways because YHWH has control over all 4 directions…the whole world.
I believe the modern conception of experience of angelic presence as much more informed by the Hellenistic concept of daemons as opposed to Jewish literary or other Mesopotamian concepts of a divine messenger. NT angelic "messengers" seem to be influenced by Apollo, the Hellenistic messenger God. While Jesus was a Jewish mystic, Christianity is the Greo-Romsn cult that defied Him. That is my understanding as a Christian myself. I think understanding this is crucial for 21rst century Christianity to flourish and overcome the anti-intellectual, reason challenged pop Christianism bs down here in America's Bible belt
However, Ezekiel was in a vision when he saw that (someone correct me if i'm mistaken). Visions sometimes are not meant to be taken literally and instead convey meaning through imagery or what is heard. (Note, in the transfiguration on the mount Jesus tells his followers "tell no one *the vision* you saw") Generally, when "Angels" are seen in the OT they are human beings, or rather are in appearance looking like us. Cherubim, seen in vision, are the 4 faced multi winged creatures. Seraphim, potentially, are winged snake like beings, possibly burning.
According to Paul, women must cover their heads. "because of the angels". (1 Cor 11:10.) Sound like he's afraid of another one of those Nephalim episodes.
Manifestations of the divine exist to encourage insight within the individual. It is part of the cosmic mystery, that greater meaning can be found when we share our mythologies. Each vision tells you how it can be addressed, a person can guess at identities where names are already prevalent and widespread. Job had to face God, as we all must look into our fears. Each person's beliefs, myths, thoughts and feelings are their truth, their reality. The chaos of our myths and beliefs coming together is what we call culture ɓut it shouldn't be confused with reality. That's a wider lens on the sharedness and chaotic creativity of people integrating.
Those that abuse capital letters not only emphasises nothing but the hysteria of the abuse but make one wonder what else is the abuser abusing. Moreover the abuser tells all-the-world that he is a raving lunatic.
You mention the narrator of the Genesis account of Sodom and Gomorrah, identifies the two travelers who entered the inn, as "angels." It is only the narrator who has dawn this conclusion. as none of the characters or actors within the story seems to be aware of this fact. The travelers are not recognized as angels to those who see them, but only as men. Not holy or priestly men but apparently ordinary men. How is it that the narrator or writer is the only one that knows this secret while those within the story remain unaware? Excellent lecture and much appreciation for your time and research to present such valuable material.
This is probably only interesting to me, but anyone who plays D&D and also listens to these lectures will readily notice how the bible is heavily represented in many D&D story lines.
"Sometimes the English covers up the meaning of the original text." or what you actually said if I didn't get it exactly right...AMEN! I studied ancient Greek in the Classics Department at UGA as an 18 year old atheist. When I reconnected with Christ in my 30's and began to study the Greek NT it was like going from drinking barely potable water to the finest intoxicating beverage imaginable (25 year old Macallan if Scotch is your cup of tea for example). Always love the quality and academic depth of your presentations. When it becomes within my means, I look forward to supporting your channel beyond offering comments to let the good old algorithm know this is good content. It is always a blessing to be reminded that Christians aren't all judgemental idiots literally trying to force their perverted bibliolatry down everyone's throats. A 21rst century worldview that is "in Christ" cannot be about dividing God's children on the basis of sex, class or ethnicity. This channel might not be 'Christian " as defined by some media outlets, but I find it more representative of the Christ Jesus crucified that has guided my life than most of the content UA-cam shows in my feed.
Besides the title, great lecture. From a historical point of view what they were called and attributed was answered. But what are Angels, fundamentally, could have been explored also
Pauls Christianity won because it focused on turning pagans into christians, while peters Christianity focused on turning jewish people into Christians. It was a numbers game.
Paul's Christianity 'won' because Constantine loved the patriarchal misogyny and fear threars and decided to champion and institutionalise it. Rather too many who loved the idea of power ran to it.
Bible is pretty good on human lifespan. French Woman Jeanne Louise Calment, is the oldest person in recorded modern history. Jeanne made it to 122 Years. Amazing.
Its very rare for people to live that long . The bible claims people lived to be 800 or more years old. Impossible, because bones ,wear out , organs fail , etc . People nowadays are being kept alive longer than they should because of modern medicine and technology, to keep their hearts going.
@@dbarker7794 We have no way to know if this happened or not because they didn't have Departments of Health Issuing Birth Certificates and the like. It's Apples to Oranges comparison relative to Record keeping and information management. Unfortunately the Library of Alexandria was burned down. We lost a great deal of information on how People back then did things so surviving information such as Bible is the best we have to deal with. We know some Romans made it to the 100 range even though they were guzzling down Lead Spiced Wine every Day which may explain some of their violent nature. Chinese Emperor Chin was talking Mercury to extend his Life. It's no Wonder why so many of our Ancestors were having Visions regularly as they poisened their Brains regularly.
I like reading parts of the bible, there's a lot of good stories and great action, I think everyone should read it, wether they believe in God or not. Its also full of life lessons which apply for those who do or don't believe. I don't believe Adam and eve appeared from nowhere Or that were all descended from them And I don't believe anyone lived for centuries , Theres a lot I don't believe in the bible, but it doesn't stop me from reading it, because there's a lot I actually agree with
Angels are real!! In 2002 I had a bunch of lumber fall off my truck on a busy over pass at Greenville Texas , traffic going 70. As I got out of my truck I said - Lord this is going to be dangerous . As I picked up the first 2x4 this Greenville police car pulled up behind me, lights flashing and a Sargent got out and started handing me 2x4s while traffic is whipping by . He never said anything but we shook hands and I looked at his name tag so I could call the police station & thank him . Got home in 15 minutes and called the police and told the dissipater my story . She said she had worked there 18 years and the was no one by the Name of Sgt. Braun there . I described the Sgt. carefully , she said that did not fit the description of any of their officers . You explain that to me .
This was an example of what Angels do . I have seen two angels in my life & interacted with one. I think I am on subject. Did you know in 1979-80 Angels appearing as hitch hikers were seen & picked up all over America . They would get in the back seat , tell the people JESUS is coming back soon & just vanish , it was in all the news papers back then. It has been 40 years, this year since Dimitru was given this word for America. @@jameswright...
Interesting that 120 years was set as the limit for a human life, when that is about the age of the oldest people today. Makes you wonder if anyone made it to that age in ancient times.
Well, according to the Bible, Moses lived to 120 (Deuteronomy 34:7) , but Methuselah lived 969 years (Genesis 5:21-27). Incidentally, a common Jewish birthday wish is "May You Live Until 120."
I see Spirits almost everyday. I have seen demons many many times, I have seen the heavenly angles a few times. The ones who are possessing people are harder to recognize unless thier eyes change into snake eyes. This is my personal experience sorry if you dont have experiences like this but maybe if you asked him Like i did. you would get them too.
About the the fact that all the angel’s names end with an «L» … not sure if it could be related but in french, when you say «L» (or the syllable «EL»)… it sounds phonetically exactly like the word « aille » which means « wing ».
*There is more than one definition for the word wing other than the feathered type... Wing; Whose place is either side of center like the wing of a building, a political wing, etc. etc.*
Is there any evidence that Judaism was independently developing a monotheistic/monolatric belief system before contact with the Akhenaten or Zoroastrian religions?
The free will argument as an explanation of good and evil fails when you consider that children are (free will in action) allowed to fail then tutored toward the proper choice whereas the Old Testament God doesn't show similar patience.
Your reply is accurate but misses my point. My point was that we treat our children better than the God (Christ) of the Old Testament treats human beings. Since we are not God, how is it that we treat our children better than the portrayed God of the Old Testament treats us? Maybe an earlier version was more accurate.@@gillps5130
I've already answered this question, but I'll do so again. The God granting free will argument is weak because that version of God shows less understanding of why we do things than we show understanding of why our children do things. It is a projection of what human beings thought God is when human beings had less understanding why children do things. Your reply missed the point.@@gillps5130
There were several "giants" listed in the bible other than Goliath. There were his 4 brothers (Which is why david grabbed 5 smooth stones). There were the sons of Anak (Anakim=giants) Gideon, Giber (Giboreim=mighty giants) Nimrod/Orion (The Mighty hunter giant) Then there is the descendant of Baal, Abaddon, and Kish named Saul the first king of Israel. 2ho was head and shoulders above all those in the kingdom of Israel. (That doesnt make him a giant but it is in his DNA)
The problem of evil just doesn’t have a good solution. They all just pass the buck. So god isn’t responsible for evil happening because that’s simply a lack of good. But why wouldn’t god just fill up everything with goodness, so there wouldn’t be a void for evil to fill? I don’t buy it. You can’t be omnipotent and allow evil to exist and still be wholly good. God is either not omnipotent or not wholly good.
*WHAT are ANGELS ??? From The Revelation of Jesus Christ in chapter 1, verse 20 ( Part ) Quote; The SEVEN STARS are the ANGELS of the seven ASSEMBLIES: The "STARS" ( Angels ) are Geometric 6 Pointed STARS, acting as I/O Ports (Hence the title of being a Messenger) involved in "The Processing System of LIFE"... A Terminal of "The Processing System of LIFE", was referred to in ancient manuscripts as the SOUL...*
Elohim translates as "sons of god" or "Council of gods" in Deuteronomy43-46 Dead Sea Scrolls. But in Sumerian tablets , "Elohim" translates as "the shining Ones" or "the Enlightened Ones" from above or from the skies. But. Defininitely both Plural forms. #2 3 "Angels" visit Abraham and Sarah. Yet, when they go to witness wickedness of Sodom/ Gomorrah only TWO "Angels" accompany Abraham. I believe, One, Yahweh, stays behind, to come unto Sarah, bestowing upon her, Her Long Awaited Child! Either through Anunnaki advanced technology of in vitro fertilization impregnation or through Anunnaki/ Incubus "visitation". Thus, is Yahweh " due his apportion" or "just inheritance" of the lands and sons of Jacob. This, also explains how, not a man, but a second generation Nephilim, Jacob, could wrestle, a "son of god Angel" , Yahweh to an All night wrestling match DRAW. UNTIL, Yahweh cheats and uses a stick to slip Jacob's hip out of it's socket. One wonders, why the big hurry or Panic for Yahweh to end the match before daylight!!??❤ Obviously, IT IS NOT, because Jacob could not countenance this "god's" face without suffering harm, because further along Jacob exclaims, to HAVE DONE JUST THAT. ONE Further wonders if this does not indicate...❤ if Jesus is not also a Nephilim "Angel, son of god" and if Mother Mary's mysterious "visitation" and subsequent "virgin birth" ♥️ were NOT Similar to Sarah's! Also, ONE Wonders of Yahweh were not UNDULY Sensitive to the Sun's rays!? Coupled with his tendency to accept blood offerings and his long lived life, could not Yahweh be the source and origins for man's belief in Vampires!?⁰ Furthermore, given Yahweh's tendency to create temporary , feral man beasts, such as he did to Esau ( "Who he "had" hated"), Nebuchadnezzar , Nimrod and who knows how many other such unfortunates. Others, who may not have been, only temporarily changed. So, One Wonders, could Yahweh, not Only be the source of Vampire stories but Also of WereWolves as Well!!?? Could not, documented, admitted feral turnings of Men by Yahweh, although, "Only" temporarily, given these three known cases, Nebuchadnezzar, Nimrod and Esau time to roam and run the countryside , wildly running rampant, impregnating both female wolves and human women!!?? Why not, animals are animals and feral, turned, wild man beasts, are 100% MALE, and will do as wild, beastly MEN Will do!!❤ All in All , Yahweh is Shown in the bible, to be no special Supreme "god", but ONLY, another "son of god Angel". By proxy, so would be Jesus. As well as Isaac. Thus, would Abraham NOT BE the father of the "chosen " people but Yahweh. ❤. Further, corroboration can be found in Deuteronomy43-46 Dead Sea Scrolls. ❤ Thanks Love Mario ❤Deuteronomy43-46 Dead Sea Scrolls. But, fear not, "god" knows whom you meant to worship, and knows the Evil, Anunnaki Reptilian shapeshifter overlord Colonizer father of lies. Plus, God knows OUR Hearts and Souls, each one of US, GENTILE OR JEWISH. The One True God The Great Spirit Holy Spirit Creator of All Creation ❤ has No "chosen" people, No known name, and certainly No known origin. And No Evil brother Baal!! Finally, OUR GOD,GOD OF ALL MEN, THE ONE TRUE GOD THE GREAT SPIRIT HOLY SPIRIT CREATOR OF ALL CREATION would never deign to EVEN, EVER Contemplate, Let Alone Condone, MUCH LESS Practice CHILD SACRIFICE. We need no saviour special man/ god intercessor between/BEFORE US and OUR God!! God is our Saviour❤!! Jesus, during his walk on Earth, as a MAN'S MAN CAME TO KNOW AND LOVE THE ONE TRUE GOD THE GREAT SPIRIT HOLY SPIRIT CREATOR OF ALL CREATION No matter who sent him to whom, No matter for what reason. He never placed himself BEFORE us and our God, Man Did THAT!! HE NEVER CALLED HIMSELF GOD or The Only Begotten Son of God, Man Did THAT!! Jesus, although beset and betwixt and between his malfactors, detractors and captors On All Sides was able to give US ALL, the Lord's Prayer. Evil men , intent on placing him between/ BEFORE US and OUR God❤. Still, only throwing them pittances and scraps such as ," before Abraham I am" to satusfy theur devious, evil intent. With the double meaning, understanding that God is ," the Great I Am" and that there is indeed such a thing as reincarnation ❤. Or while being monitored, watched from the hedge grow of the garden of Gethsemane Jesus stated to 40 followers, " Uam the truth, the path and the light ', to further assuage their murderous intent . Jesus, knew and could clearly see, that he was indeed the "gateway" for them to salvation. That he and his twachings were THEIR Only way to Heaven. Jesus, during his walk on Earth as a MAN'S MAN Came to know and Love each and Every One of US GENTILE or Jewish and accepted Each one of US as His beloved brothers and sisters. "OUR Father Who Art IN Heaven..." here in half an opening sentence Jesus overcame and toppled All his tormentors well laid, out devious Plans in One fell swoop!! Clearly, definitely differentiating between himself and God as Two Separate entities in Two Separate Locations ❤ Also, in half a sentence, Jesus debunked Man's myth of some " only begotten Son". "OUR FATHER, Who Art In Heaven..." Clearly calling US ALL, Gentile or Jewish, CHILDREN OR GOD, acknowledging US ALL , GENTILE OR JEWISH, as his brothers and sisters ❤. No matter , you accept Him or not, you cannot change who your mother ir Father is!!❤ There is Only One True God The Great Spirit Holy Spirit Creator of All Creation. God has inserted Him Her ITSELF INTO Nearly all WORKS of Man's Art 🎨 Music 🎶 and Literature EVEN In the bible So that We may KNOW GOD. BUT NOT ALL ATTRIBUTED TO GOD IN THE bible is OF God or OF a godly nature!! Thank God for THAT! THANK YOU GOD!DEUTERONOMY43-46 DEAD SEA SCROLLS.

@@mysteriousjungalist yes, it is. Free will means you are free to choose. Adam and Eve had free will and chose to eat the forbidden fruit. Getting punished does not mean it was not your choice. Satan and the other fallen angels choose to battle with God. It was their choice.

All this talk about the OT and the holy of holies reminded me of the notion that YHWH might have been a Donkey headed God in ancient sources. Would love to hear John's thoughts on that idea maybe in a future lecture. Supposedly a donkey headed idol was carried out of the temple when it was looted and razed by the Romans and they paraded it around Jerusalem in their victory celebrations, then for the next few centuries there are references to the Jews being Ass worshippers.
Agreed, in Hebrew, angel is simply translated as messenger, mal'akh' (מַלְאָךְ).Then again, this video also brings up the idea of Theophany, or the idea that Jesus makes a physical appearance in the Old Testament (or Tānāḵ): 1) Jesus is one of the three visitors telling Abraham that Sarah will give birth to a son (Genesis 18), & 2) Jacob wrestles with an angel (Genesis 32:22-32).
Great topic and presentation! From my studies, i understand them as pre-human, non human, miltarized clone army... Many featuring abilities and features seen in the animal kingdom. Watchful, tactful, mission oriented unless sidetracked like at mt herman or Genesis 6. Sonetimes i wonder if they are robotic shapeshiters or the flying vehicles themselves... Maghines with souls! I dont think this is impossible for God...
Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. Numbers 16:22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation? Numbers 27:16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation, Job 4:15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
The pipes and stones make it sound mechanical. Quartz crystals in electronics... Ezekiel 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
I'd like to see you debate a religious historian on how angels are really portrayed... ( Spoiler not white people) What does Christmas has to do with Christianity?
Is there a " we"? There is no magic in writing, and men (human beings/dreaming machines) are not only not invariably truthful, but are also frequently mistaken. Never accept anything without question
It was the lead in the gasoline . That's how crazy began. I'm 60 . my kids work ethics are amazing. 1996 the lead was completely gone . I used red lead gasoline to wash my hands . we are the X men and women of the current times. Excellent video .
Its interesting to see this discussion on Free Will and "are we slaves to our genes...after see the Centre Place video on Was Paul Gay and John flatly says "We are born" this. As a gay guy. I know wasn't born gay. My boyfriend this he was because he remembers this very early in life. But...that aside this is one the more interesting lectures.
My own agenda is to always look for the Cataclysm and Lost Civilization hints in the religious texts and legends and myths. I find it interesting, that in some of the depictions of the named Angels and Lucifer they hold a lance at an angle. For me that angle always hints at the 23.5 degree tilt of the rotational axis of the Earth and where it points (- which plays a role in “The Great Year” / The precession of the Equinoxes / The Long Calendar; and maybe as a slightly adjacent hint it may point to issues with the axis in General, like in Earth Crust displacement theories, that have the Earth tilting over at the Cataclysm); also the lance might be doubling as a symbol for the impactor, as would the Flaming Sword (- Younger Dryas impact hypothesis). -The Cherubim as winged Bull and winged Lion hint at the Taurid and Leonid meteor streams.- Edit: The Cherubs guarding the Throne is the Constellation in which the Sun rises on the vernal equinox: Leo and Taurus. See “The precession of the Equinoxes”. The Seraphim as “the burning ones” again hint at a Bolide / fiery meteor, or even ejecta from the sun itself (micro nova as responsible for certain isotopes in layers on the Earth that are not that old, geologically speaking.) I’m still very much confused about the antediluvian part of the story. The Nephilim as “the fallen ones” and the “Giants” and “the great men of renown” could - if not taken literally - fit in with Graham Hancock’s bringers of civilization from the lost precursor civilization/ Atlantis, especially since they taught metallurgy and medicine (kind of mirrored in the depictions of Michael and Raphael). But taken literally (“fallen ones”= from above,) they might be better made fit with the whole UFOlogy / Ancient Aliens idea. The taking of the women doesn’t exactly sound like modern stories of kidnapping by Aliens, but the whole idea of Hybrids might be seen as Eugenics, maybe even partly successful (“Men of Renown”), but also as an unnatural transgression against God, as ultimately theirs was the civilization that went under in the flood. Whatever they were, they must have originated on this Earth: I don’t think that Aliens from Outer Space make sense: there can be no interstellar travel on the timescales of a single life, even if they were from a longer lived species. FTL travel is not a thing. As I consider myself an Atheist, I tend to share the regret which Graham Hancock expresses over humanity being a “species with amnesia”. If the cataclysm is cyclical, and we are coming close to the next one, I find it regrettable, if again it would hit us right when we are at the cusp of Artificial Intelligence and Gene Editing / Creation of new Life-Forms in the Lab and Space Travel (albeit within our own Solar System). On the other hand: If I were a Christian awaiting the End-Times, watching how humanity begins to transgress what up until now counted as Human, making our own God (AI), fiddling around with DNA, trying to again build our Tower of Babel and reach the Heavens, I would welcome the big reset button. As Randall Carlson teaches: in the reading of the Alchemists and the Mystics and finally Rosicrucians the hidden (occult) meaning of INRI was not “Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews”, but “Igni Natura Renovatur Integra”: in Fire Nature gets wholly renewed. It is not far fetched: if the Sun indeed does do a substantially bigger Carrington Event (- call it Micronova or not), another “advanced civilization” will vanish from this Earth, namely ours. Technology becomes indistinguishable from Magic. Then our civilization would be considered Demigods and Giants and Men of Renown. P.S.: As for pop cultural references:”All of this has happened before, and it will happen again. So say we all.” (Battlestar Galactica)
A typical image a Christian thinks of, wings , hovering above our heads, Came from carvings, statues, or Roman coins, most of their Gods are depicted with wings . The halo, comes from paganism, Sol the sun God, or mithras, a similar pagan God of the sun. Christian angels, & early saints, basically replaced the pagan top God and the lesser Gods , Which the Romans basically copied but gave their own spin to the Greek gods, demigods etc .. Many Christian churches in ancient European countries are built on top of much older pagan temples. Verulamium in England has a 10th c Saxon church built on top of a first century Roman pagan temple. The opposite side of the Roman city has another 10th century Saxon church built on top of 1st century pagan memorials .. Almost like they're trying to erase the memory of anything pagan.
Post-modern culture probably doesn't "get" all these connections, but even so, we might be influenced by literary sources like Dante's Inferno & Paradiso & Milton's Paradise Lost & Paradise Regained. But "Dudley", probably not! "When I think of "Dudley", (Baby Boomer that I am, I think of Dudley Do Right!
@@EvelynElaineSmith I havnt read any of those books Milton's paradise or the other, I read a little bit of Dante's inferno but it's not for me. Most of my reading is academic, archaeology. Or English history,, , bernard Cornwall is only fiction I read , because his books are well researched re history, the last kingdom series is great, and Agincourt, & harlequin are excellent books .
@@kevwhufc8640 ~ I majored in English as an undergraduate & hold an MA & Ph.D. in English literature with a minor in rhetoric, & then I taught English at the middle school, high school, community college, & university level along the way, so I've read a lot of classic. I recommend reading some Milton. He is an impressive writer!
@@EvelynElaineSmith an MA and PhD , wow , impressive I graduated 30 years ago with a BSc in field archaeology I should have an MA by now but tbh I really hated college, The lectures were great but the essays the pages and pages , the stress and sleepless nights, I hated it. I understand people like yourself, the need for so much reading and writing. But when I started volunteering I realised I was learning more about field archaeology in a day that I was after months of reading and writing. I nearly gave up college a few times but I'm glad I saw it through and graduated.. I would understand the need for all the reading if I wanted to specialise in ceramics or human remains, etc . But field archaeology is something that one learns from practical experience. So I have a lot of respect for anyone with MA even more so with Phds . Its strange because its not that I hate reading or writing, I love both , English was one of my favourite classes at school, I loved creative writing , always have, I wrote the songs when I was in a rockabilly band, I love reading if its something I want to read, I've spent years ( all put together) mainly about the history of my city , archaeology is practical, we can't create stories . But its impossible to close ones mind to the gaps , or read something that history books claim, and not judge them, criticise the stories compared to the archaeological facts ive learned. StAlbans, known as verlamio as seen on late iron age coins or verulamium after the Roman's invaded. Stories that involve my city , that I know are hugely over exaggerated, or have no evidence to support them. Caesar supposedly defeated the catuvellauni tribe with 1200 men and wiped out the warriors destroyed their settlement and so on. Yet the evidence indicates the complete opposite. Or boudicca killing 50k when the Iceni came through verulamium with 100-200k rebels. Even though the region involved had nowhere near that amount of people all put together. Historians tell stories but don't explain where so many people came from. Before my interest in archaeology and college , I just assumed history books gave the history, the facts , it never occurred to me about the origins or facts , I just took for granted they were factual . Now I dont trust anything unless the archaeology supports the story . Its quite shocking how much written history has nothing to support it re archaeology. A few words attributed to Caesar and others like Cato , are accepted as facts , even though few are contemporary and a few things that do survive have been taken by Victorian historians and are now accepted as factual history. I know the population of the Iceni, the trinovantes of Essex, the size of London 18 years after the invasion 15 years ( less in some parts) after the south was subdued and Roman rule accepted . Utube has videos from the 70s where excavations in London show layers of burning which was attributed to boudicca, with recent technology test pits and results of soil samples from those 'boudiccan layers" we now know are much later ,early 3rd century, fire was a common thing in wooden buildings lite by open flames . Its impossible to get a larger picture of London ( central London) because the buildings cover Roman Saxon and medieval London, its unlikely any new development will require excavating to the depths ( mid 1st century) we need to reevaluate previous conclusions.. ..sorry I digress , Basically I just wanted to say I'm so wrapped up with reading researching everything I can find regarding my city , I don't have the time for milton or anything like that , maybe in later years , but the few books I do read are as I've already mentioned, light hearted historical 'faction' such as bernard Cornwall writes . I am interested in voltaire, but apparently a lot of his humour is lost in translation, I don't know if that's true . But he seems a very interesting man , and lived wrote in a time when Europe was constantly changing. ;)
Angels appear in the NDEs (Near Death Experience) of James Woodford and Tricia Barker. Angels also appeared to several people at the Marian apparitions at Fatima, Portugal.
I work alongside people who study all kinds things, to do with history, Myself its Roman, coins artifacts, others Saxon, or Tudor Experts in languages, medieval charters, Most I have no interest in, some, such as experts in languages, just by listening to them, I know its beyond me But I do know one thing, its something so complex, only a few have brains wired to understand it , like the guys who built & deciphered Enigma,or built early mechanical computers. There are some things that cant be taught unless they are born with brain that's wired to understand. Languages constantly changed, evolved,, words came and went , or meant something different to the original. Modern example, bad = good , sick = good . Slang , or shortened versions of the original, have been happening for millennia. ..So most people have to trust the translator , when reading something in English. Ancient Greek couldn't be translated into English 2000 or even 1000 years ago , because English was completely different. When were the translated version first done ? And what language was used ? When and who by ? Most things read today are not copies of contemporary originals. Greek, latin, 1100 ad differs from 100 bc . Many languages don't have words that can be translated. So who decides what words to use in place, how close are they , many words look the same but have different meanings in the way they are used . To, too , two, Who ,Hoo , , I'm sure there are better examples, those just came to me first. How accurate are these translations is my point ...
Doesn't the words to, too and two all have a plural meaning to them. Here's one that I find odd, the Latin word Virgo, meaning "virgin", but cut in two(into), 'vir' means "man" in Latin, 'gyne' (gin) is Greek for "woman", so the word "virgin", Man/Woman, is a Virgo, play the words "Boy/Girl" in reverse, you hear it echo "Virgo", it doesn't stop here, in astrology, Virgo is the Belly Button, and rules 3 weeks of September, your belly button is your First Scar, cut from the placenta, which is the meaning of Chensit, the wife of Septu, still not done, in Latin, septem means Seven, Septu is one one the ways of saying Sopdu, who was known as the planet Venus, a planet that spends 7 weeks hidden by the Sun, retrogrades 43 days (4+3=7), every 77 weeks. Join the 3 sevens (777) together, to make a 60 degree triangle, which would be the hieroglyph of Sopdu/Septu. Venus is like Virgo, hidden words, with both Venus & 7, its where yo find Eve hiding, between the S'N, if you play "Sin Eve" in reverse, you hear it echo "Venus". In Hebrew Shiva means 7, also known as Kala, which means "Time" in Sanskrit, a 60 degree triangle, 3x6=3 hours, 3x7=21 hours, the 60 degree triangle equals 24 hours, 60 in the angle of 7, allowing 7 hours to sleep, 7 hours to work, 7 hours to play, the angle in 60x7=420, Shiva's favorite pastime, his consort is Kali, in Hebrew Kalil is a word used in the Burnt Offering, It means "that which goes up [in smoke]". It is formed from the active participle of the verb alah (עָלָה), "to cause to ascend." The ancient Sumerian god Alla was a dying and rising god like "The Child" Damu, who was born to a Virgin, a "Son of Alla" is a Macalla, which means "Echo" in Irish, in Hebrew, Makala means "Who is like God", in Hebrew Batkol, "bat" is Hebrew for Daughter, "mac" is Irish for Son, Bat-Kol means "Voice of God". The name Tammuz seems to have been derived from the Akkadian form Tammuzi, based on early Sumerian Damu-zid, The Flawless Young, which in later standard Sumerian became Dumu-zid, or Dumuzi. Tammuz means ''twin born" and Thomas means twin in Aramaic as does his Greek epithet Didymus. Does that help you out with the understanding of To, Too, and Two. "There are some things that cant be taught unless they are born with brain that's wired to understand." “The temperaments of those whose span of life she pronounces at their birth Erigone (Virgo) will direct to study, and she will train their minds in the learned arts. She will give not so much abundance of wealth as the impulse to investigate the causes and effects of things. On them she will confer a tongue which charms, the mastery of words, and that mental vision which can discern all things, however concealed they be by the mysterious workings of nature. From the Virgin will also come the stenographer: his letter represents a word, and by means of his symbols he can keep ahead of utterance and record in novel notation the long speech of a rapid speaker. But with the good there comes a flaw: bashfulness handicaps the early years of such persons, for the Maid, by holding back their great natural gifts, puts a bridle on their lips and restrains them by the curb of authority. And (small wonder in a virgin) her offspring is not fruitful.” [Astronomica, Manilius, 1st century AD, p.237 and 239] Roger means "Famous Spear", hiding in Roger is erigo, to raise · to erect · to build · to rouse · to excite · to stimulate, Roger is slang for Penis. Play "Her Star, Rog Envy, Rog Genome" in reverse, you hear it echo "Morning Star, Evening Star, Roger" Roger McCullough is a Virgo, who chúlú (reverse) his words revealing their macalla. “At her rising Erigone (Virgo, who reigned with Justice over a bygone age and fled when it fell into sinful ways, bestows high eminence by bestowing supreme power; she will produce a man to direct the laws of the state and the sacred code; one who will tend with reverence the hallowed temples of the gods.” [Astronomica, Manilius, 1st century AD, p.265] Enki created the Divine Temple Builder from a Pinch of clay, giving him the name Kulla, and his son MacCulla.
"Who, Hoo is Lu; Lugh? he is the father of the Hound of Ulster, McCullough "Son of the Hound of Ulster'. Lugh is known for his Famous Spear "Assal", in Irish, "asal" means "Donkey". "The spear of Assal of ridgy fitting gold, dead is he upon whom it casteth blood truly: its valour does not strike in error if only one calls out 'Iubar.' If 'Athibar' be said to it, it returns into its leather sheath; till it comes to the hand from which it went forth..." Areadbhar translates into English as "slaughterer." Alternatively, some scholars think that Lugh's spear is actually the Luin of Celtchar. Iubar From Proto-Indo-European *dyew-bʰeh₂-es- ("bringing the light of daytime", literally "sky-shining"), from *dyew- ("sky, heaven") (whence Latin diēs ("day")) and *bʰeh₂- ("to shine") (whence Ancient Greek φάος ("light")). in Latin brightness, light, radiance are the top translations of "iubar" into English. Athibar at-hi, ath-i ] The baby girl name Athi is pronounced as EY-THiy †. Athi is of Old Greek origin. Athi is a variant of Athena (English, German, and Greek). In Hebrew ath: a sign athah or atha: to come bar: son Sopdu/Septu, son of Sahu "The Hidden One" who we call Orion, Hatysa is the star at the end of his Spear, we call his Sword, Hatya meaning in English is Manslaughter (हत्या). similar words like Murder, Kill and Killing Hindi Translation is हत्या. Hatysa read backwards (reverse) means "Savior of Sinner", 'haat' means "To sin", 'yasa' means "Savior", hidden in the tip of Orion's sword is Haya, means Grain/ Seed, he is known both as a "door-keeper" and associated with the scribal arts. Gohatya means Cow Killer, play the words "Her Mithras" in reverse, it echoes "September", Mithras was known as the Bull Slayer. Play "They All Rule" in reverse, you hear it echo "Orion". Roger is Lewallyn(Llewellyn), meaning Like a Lion/Ruling, from Lugh/Belinus. Lugh is known to be a Trickster, am I tricking you like Lugh? Hee-Haw Hee-Haw 420
They're allllll me. The Lord Yah come down. The messenger of the Lord is the Lord. I'm reincarnating, creating many angels of the Lord, but they're all in fact me and my literary creation. I'm the elohim of resurrection of many many names. EL COME DOWN.
Angles are not knowitalls, Angels are called by God for His Holy Work, But many angels fall into temptations of this world, and have no idea God has called them to His Holy Work,,, But when God in His Mercy grants us Light,,, then we awaken to Satan's ways that for longgggg periods in many ways has decived us. WE do have power, in prayers,, Why God even hears our prayers in my sins,, I have no idea.,,, But He has,, at least some of my prayers. But also punishments will remain til God lifts the Holy Judgements. Now I am livinga clean life, We abgels are like God';s eyes and ears, we pray for things that we know is not right here on earth,,,and If we maintain faith, God will answer our pryaers one way or another. WE do have powers, But this only by God's Spirit. WE angels act like God's witnesses, also His Watchmen, What we see we tell God in our prayers. Mostly I inform God that this world has too much antichrist spirit and that we of gnosis are not able to breathe in this world,, That it must be Judged, so those who are of faith and gnosis can live in peace on this earth. So yes angels bring Gods Holy Judgements upon this earth. So if you see things going from bad to worse to worser to worseest,, thats us angels asking God to render His longggg over due Holy Judgements... Not all angels are of gnosis, some are not very intelligent. Hope New York City does not get a hurricane. Gnostic paul New Orleans
He’s giving the history of how angels got to be a thing in human culture and history. A lot of people commenting here who obviously have not listened to the lecture.
You tell a lot of descriptions about angels butyou say nothing ,substantial, How they are made , born ; who made them, how they are sustained in existence, what is their substance, are they exclusively spirits or they are material to,if they are material why dont we ever fall on them,what is the actual function of every category .... And so on
yhwh isnt God, yhwh is kabbalah method, also known as four realms. when our body is filled with elohim/holy spirit/angels, and using yhwh, we can talk to God. this is why in ancient pot, we can see six pointed star in sky. it is not God, six pointed star is a symbol of yhwh, and with it, we can talk to God on outside of this world, which is why the star is being depicted on the sky
Thank you. I used your lecture as a sleep aid, and it worked like a charm. May the force be with you!
So glad to hear this lecture backed with evidence.

John Hamer is so good with the pop culture references that I kept expecting him to make an Arrested Development joke when talking about Tobias.
Anyway, thanks for another great lecture. ✌️👍
Peace to you, John. I have been adding many of these "History, Theology, Philosophy lectures" to a UA-cam Playlist to listen to when I can. These are very interesting and educational, but it will take a while to get through them all, as they are 39 and counting so far. 🙂
Check “Lectures” under the Playlist. There are 199 of them. Which I am extremely happy about
I wish I lived in Canada near this congregation...This guy (Mr. Hamer? )rocks! Thanks for great lectures❤❤❤!
As someone in Canada I'm very split. I love John and his work but the fact his congregation is revisionist Mormons/Latter-day Saints makes me uneasy. I'll check out their presence in Monreal but my interactions with regular Mormons has been very sad with clear culty tones (got into a fascinsting discussion with a duo going around evangelizing and when the younger of the two seemed very intrigued by some of the ideas I brought up the older pulled him away as he had the saddest expression in his eyes which have haunted me for years

The Biblically accurate angels meme actually has to do with the frightening, very inhuman multi-winged and multi-headed angels described at points in the Bible. It contrasts them against the very sanitized angels of popular culture. It's not quite accurate, since there are also more human-esque angels in the Bible, as discussed in the lecture, but it's fun.
And the multi-heads represent something that seemingly all cultures understood in their cultural context. There are typically 4 heads and they represent the fixed signs of the zodiac. Not that Hebrews were astrological worshippers, but because astronomy was so important and known to all in ancient cultures. It showed YHWH’s control over the whole entire year. They can also look all 4 ways because YHWH has control over all 4 directions…the whole world.
I believe the modern conception of experience of angelic presence as much more informed by the Hellenistic concept of daemons as opposed to Jewish literary or other Mesopotamian concepts of a divine messenger. NT angelic "messengers" seem to be influenced by Apollo, the Hellenistic messenger God. While Jesus was a Jewish mystic, Christianity is the Greo-Romsn cult that defied Him. That is my understanding as a Christian myself. I think understanding this is crucial for 21rst century Christianity to flourish and overcome the anti-intellectual, reason challenged pop Christianism bs down here in America's Bible belt
However, Ezekiel was in a vision when he saw that (someone correct me if i'm mistaken). Visions sometimes are not meant to be taken literally and instead convey meaning through imagery or what is heard. (Note, in the transfiguration on the mount Jesus tells his followers "tell no one *the vision* you saw")
Generally, when "Angels" are seen in the OT they are human beings, or rather are in appearance looking like us.
Cherubim, seen in vision, are the 4 faced multi winged creatures.
Seraphim, potentially, are winged snake like beings, possibly burning.
Looking forward to the upcoming lectures. Ta.
According to Paul, women must cover their heads. "because of the angels". (1 Cor 11:10.) Sound like he's afraid of another one of those Nephalim episodes.
Gods good with Napalm, he is always sitting on his arse when volcanos and other tragedies hit. He loves being vengeful too.
Nephilim, not napalm! 😂
God loves the smell of napalm in the morning. 🙂

"Biblically Accurate Angels" are based on the visions of Ezekiel, which are very "different".
Excellent much appreciated 🙏
Topic idea: What do the Dead Sea Scrolls reveal?
Clarence is first in the movie to use the quote. Thus causing Nick to keep ringing the register saying "look, I'm passing out wings"
Many thanks for sharing understanding.
Excelent presentation. Congratulations.
Manifestations of the divine exist to encourage insight within the individual. It is part of the cosmic mystery, that greater meaning can be found when we share our mythologies.
Each vision tells you how it can be addressed, a person can guess at identities where names are already prevalent and widespread.
Job had to face God, as we all must look into our fears.
Each person's beliefs, myths, thoughts and feelings are their truth, their reality. The chaos of our myths and beliefs coming together is what we call culture ɓut it shouldn't be confused with reality. That's a wider lens on the sharedness and chaotic creativity of people integrating.

Thank you John.
You mention the narrator of the Genesis account of Sodom and Gomorrah, identifies the two travelers who entered the inn, as "angels." It is only the narrator who has dawn this conclusion. as none of the characters or actors within the story seems to be aware of this fact. The travelers are not recognized as angels to those who see them, but only as men. Not holy or priestly men but apparently ordinary men. How is it that the narrator or writer is the only one that knows this secret while those within the story remain unaware? Excellent lecture and much appreciation for your time and research to present such valuable material.
This is probably only interesting to me, but anyone who plays D&D and also listens to these lectures will readily notice how the bible is heavily represented in many D&D story lines.
True

"Sometimes the English covers up the meaning of the original text." or what you actually said if I didn't get it exactly right...AMEN! I studied ancient Greek in the Classics Department at UGA as an 18 year old atheist. When I reconnected with Christ in my 30's and began to study the Greek NT it was like going from drinking barely potable water to the finest intoxicating beverage imaginable (25 year old Macallan if Scotch is your cup of tea for example). Always love the quality and academic depth of your presentations. When it becomes within my means, I look forward to supporting your channel beyond offering comments to let the good old algorithm know this is good content. It is always a blessing to be reminded that Christians aren't all judgemental idiots literally trying to force their perverted bibliolatry down everyone's throats. A 21rst century worldview that is "in Christ" cannot be about dividing God's children on the basis of sex, class or ethnicity. This channel might not be 'Christian " as defined by some media outlets, but I find it more representative of the Christ Jesus crucified that has guided my life than most of the content UA-cam shows in my feed.
Besides the title, great lecture. From a historical point of view what they were called and attributed was answered. But what are Angels, fundamentally, could have been explored also
Pretty sure he’s indicating they don’t exist. They’re just a human invention. Like elves and dragons are human inventions

Pauls Christianity won because it focused on turning pagans into christians, while peters Christianity focused on turning jewish people into Christians.
It was a numbers game.
Paul's Christianity 'won' because Constantine loved the patriarchal misogyny and fear threars and decided to champion and institutionalise it. Rather too many who loved the idea of power ran to it.
Bible is pretty good on human lifespan. French Woman Jeanne Louise Calment, is the oldest person in recorded modern history. Jeanne made it to 122 Years. Amazing.
Its very rare for people to live that long .
The bible claims people lived to be 800 or more years old.
Impossible, because bones ,wear out , organs fail , etc .
People nowadays are being kept alive longer than they should because of modern medicine and technology, to keep their hearts going.
Wow 😮
Yes but the Bible also says Methuselah lived to be 969 years old and Noah lived past 900 and Enoch was 300+.

Angels are real!! In 2002 I had a bunch of lumber fall off my truck on a busy over pass at Greenville Texas , traffic going 70. As I got out of my truck I said - Lord this is going to be dangerous . As I picked up the first 2x4 this Greenville police car pulled up behind me, lights flashing and a Sargent got out and started handing me 2x4s while traffic is whipping by . He never said anything but we shook hands and I looked at his name tag so I could call the police station & thank him . Got home in 15 minutes and called the police and told the dissipater my story . She said she had worked there 18 years and the was no one by the Name of Sgt. Braun there . I described the Sgt. carefully , she said that did not fit the description of any of their officers . You explain that to me .
You misread the name tag while stressed.
This was an example of what Angels do . I have seen two angels in my life & interacted with one. I think I am on subject. Did you know in 1979-80 Angels appearing as hitch hikers were seen & picked up all over America . They would get in the back seat , tell the people JESUS is coming back soon & just vanish , it was in all the news papers back then.

Interesting that 120 years was set as the limit for a human life, when that is about the age of the oldest people today. Makes you wonder if anyone made it to that age in ancient times.
Well, according to the Bible, Moses lived to 120 (Deuteronomy 34:7) , but Methuselah lived 969 years (Genesis 5:21-27). Incidentally, a common Jewish birthday wish is "May You Live Until 120."

wondering, is there a shift in meaning in the OT of Son's of God to Israel from heroes of old, the nation having been adopted by God?
What ever you want them to be.
I see Spirits almost everyday. I have seen demons many many times, I have seen the heavenly angles a few times. The ones who are possessing people are harder to recognize unless thier eyes change into snake eyes. This is my personal experience sorry if you dont have experiences like this but maybe if you asked him Like i did. you would get them too.
About the the fact that all the angel’s names end with an «L» … not sure if it could be related but in french, when you say «L» (or the syllable «EL»)… it sounds phonetically exactly like the word « aille » which means « wing ».
*There is more than one definition for the word wing other than the feathered type... Wing; Whose place is either side of center like the wing of a building, a political wing, etc. etc.*

Do the angels of the holy trinity add up to 180?
The free will argument as an explanation of good and evil fails when you consider that children are (free will in action) allowed to fail then tutored toward the proper choice whereas the Old Testament God doesn't show similar patience.
You can't have free will unless you know your options and children have to be shown as they lack experience. What they do after is up to them.
You can't have free will unless you know your options and children have to be shown as they lack experience. What they do after is up to them.
Your reply is accurate but misses my point. My point was that we treat our children better than the God (Christ) of the Old Testament treats human beings. Since we are not God, how is it that we treat our children better than the portrayed God of the Old Testament treats us? Maybe an earlier version was more accurate.@@gillps5130
I've already answered this question, but I'll do so again. The God granting free will argument is weak because that version of God shows less understanding of why we do things than we show understanding of why our children do things. It is a projection of what human beings thought God is when human beings had less understanding why children do things. Your reply missed the point.@@gillps5130

3rd and 2nd-century BC Jewish texts of the book of Enoch is of 5 and 2 that is 7 and explicitly mentioned in Revelation 12:7-12.
Are you a blood jew or a religious jew?
There were several "giants" listed in the bible other than Goliath. There were his 4 brothers (Which is why david grabbed 5 smooth stones). There were the sons of Anak (Anakim=giants) Gideon, Giber (Giboreim=mighty giants) Nimrod/Orion (The Mighty hunter giant) Then there is the descendant of Baal, Abaddon, and Kish named Saul the first king of Israel. 2ho was head and shoulders above all those in the kingdom of Israel. (That doesnt make him a giant but it is in his DNA)
The problem of evil just doesn’t have a good solution. They all just pass the buck. So god isn’t responsible for evil happening because that’s simply a lack of good. But why wouldn’t god just fill up everything with goodness, so there wouldn’t be a void for evil to fill? I don’t buy it. You can’t be omnipotent and allow evil to exist and still be wholly good. God is either not omnipotent or not wholly good.
And if god is omnipotent and still allows evil, that god is not worthy of praise.

*WHAT are ANGELS ??? From The Revelation of Jesus Christ in chapter 1, verse 20 ( Part ) Quote; The SEVEN STARS are the ANGELS of the seven ASSEMBLIES: The "STARS" ( Angels ) are Geometric 6 Pointed STARS, acting as I/O Ports (Hence the title of being a Messenger) involved in "The Processing System of LIFE"... A Terminal of "The Processing System of LIFE", was referred to in ancient manuscripts as the SOUL...*
Elohim translates as "sons of god" or "Council of gods" in Deuteronomy43-46 Dead Sea Scrolls. But in Sumerian tablets , "Elohim" translates as "the shining Ones" or "the Enlightened Ones" from above or from the skies. But. Defininitely both Plural forms. #2 3 "Angels" visit Abraham and Sarah. Yet, when they go to witness wickedness of Sodom/ Gomorrah only TWO "Angels" accompany Abraham. I believe, One, Yahweh, stays behind, to come unto Sarah, bestowing upon her, Her Long Awaited Child! Either through Anunnaki advanced technology of in vitro fertilization impregnation or through Anunnaki/ Incubus "visitation". Thus, is Yahweh " due his apportion" or "just inheritance" of the lands and sons of Jacob. This, also explains how, not a man, but a second generation Nephilim, Jacob, could wrestle, a "son of god Angel" , Yahweh to an All night wrestling match DRAW. UNTIL, Yahweh cheats and uses a stick to slip Jacob's hip out of it's socket. One wonders, why the big hurry or Panic for Yahweh to end the match before daylight!!??❤ Obviously, IT IS NOT, because Jacob could not countenance this "god's" face without suffering harm, because further along Jacob exclaims, to HAVE DONE JUST THAT. ONE Further wonders if this does not indicate...❤ if Jesus is not also a Nephilim "Angel, son of god" and if Mother Mary's mysterious "visitation" and subsequent "virgin birth" ♥️ were NOT Similar to Sarah's! Also, ONE Wonders of Yahweh were not UNDULY Sensitive to the Sun's rays!? Coupled with his tendency to accept blood offerings and his long lived life, could not Yahweh be the source and origins for man's belief in Vampires!?⁰ Furthermore, given Yahweh's tendency to create temporary , feral man beasts, such as he did to Esau ( "Who he "had" hated"), Nebuchadnezzar , Nimrod and who knows how many other such unfortunates. Others, who may not have been, only temporarily changed. So, One Wonders, could Yahweh, not Only be the source of Vampire stories but Also of WereWolves as Well!!?? Could not, documented, admitted feral turnings of Men by Yahweh, although, "Only" temporarily, given these three known cases, Nebuchadnezzar, Nimrod and Esau time to roam and run the countryside , wildly running rampant, impregnating both female wolves and human women!!?? Why not, animals are animals and feral, turned, wild man beasts, are 100% MALE, and will do as wild, beastly MEN Will do!!❤ All in All , Yahweh is Shown in the bible, to be no special Supreme "god", but ONLY, another "son of god Angel". By proxy, so would be Jesus. As well as Isaac. Thus, would Abraham NOT BE the father of the "chosen " people but Yahweh. ❤. Further, corroboration can be found in Deuteronomy43-46 Dead Sea Scrolls. ❤ Thanks Love Mario ❤Deuteronomy43-46 Dead Sea Scrolls. But, fear not, "god" knows whom you meant to worship, and knows the Evil, Anunnaki Reptilian shapeshifter overlord Colonizer father of lies. Plus, God knows OUR Hearts and Souls, each one of US, GENTILE OR JEWISH. The One True God The Great Spirit Holy Spirit Creator of All Creation ❤ has No "chosen" people, No known name, and certainly No known origin. And No Evil brother Baal!! Finally, OUR GOD,GOD OF ALL MEN, THE ONE TRUE GOD THE GREAT SPIRIT HOLY SPIRIT CREATOR OF ALL CREATION would never deign to EVEN, EVER Contemplate, Let Alone Condone, MUCH LESS Practice CHILD SACRIFICE. We need no saviour special man/ god intercessor between/BEFORE US and OUR God!! God is our Saviour❤!! Jesus, during his walk on Earth, as a MAN'S MAN CAME TO KNOW AND LOVE THE ONE TRUE GOD THE GREAT SPIRIT HOLY SPIRIT CREATOR OF ALL CREATION No matter who sent him to whom, No matter for what reason. He never placed himself BEFORE us and our God, Man Did THAT!! HE NEVER CALLED HIMSELF GOD or The Only Begotten Son of God, Man Did THAT!! Jesus, although beset and betwixt and between his malfactors, detractors and captors On All Sides was able to give US ALL, the Lord's Prayer. Evil men , intent on placing him between/ BEFORE US and OUR God❤. Still, only throwing them pittances and scraps such as ," before Abraham I am" to satusfy theur devious, evil intent. With the double meaning, understanding that God is ," the Great I Am" and that there is indeed such a thing as reincarnation ❤. Or while being monitored, watched from the hedge grow of the garden of Gethsemane Jesus stated to 40 followers, " Uam the truth, the path and the light ', to further assuage their murderous intent . Jesus, knew and could clearly see, that he was indeed the "gateway" for them to salvation. That he and his twachings were THEIR Only way to Heaven. Jesus, during his walk on Earth as a MAN'S MAN Came to know and Love each and Every One of US GENTILE or Jewish and accepted Each one of US as His beloved brothers and sisters. "OUR Father Who Art IN Heaven..." here in half an opening sentence Jesus overcame and toppled All his tormentors well laid, out devious Plans in One fell swoop!! Clearly, definitely differentiating between himself and God as Two Separate entities in Two Separate Locations ❤ Also, in half a sentence, Jesus debunked Man's myth of some " only begotten Son".

Fictional servants of a fictional god or gods.
What about enoch? He was a human that walked with god?
There’s just no curing you anthropomorphic idolaters of your fcuk-the commandments idolatry is there?
Its a wonderful life from christmas carol.
The key parts of both could have been in their heads
Angels were given freewill also.
source?
@@RomanPhilosopher try reading. If they rebelled they chose. Choice means freewill.
@@maryblushes7189Is it really free will if you're also punished harshly for it?
@@mysteriousjungalist yes, it is. Free will means you are free to choose. Adam and Eve had free will and chose to eat the forbidden fruit. Getting punished does not mean it was not your choice. Satan and the other fallen angels choose to battle with God. It was their choice.
@@maryblushes7189 unless they were destined to rebel as part of a greater plan. And the whole fallen angels who rebelled is barely even in the canonical bible
How much of this is fact and how much is fiction?
What if when they say giant in the bible they refer to grandiosity?
All this talk about the OT and the holy of holies reminded me of the notion that YHWH might have been a Donkey headed God in ancient sources. Would love to hear John's thoughts on that idea maybe in a future lecture. Supposedly a donkey headed idol was carried out of the temple when it was looted and razed by the Romans and they paraded it around Jerusalem in their victory celebrations, then for the next few centuries there are references to the Jews being Ass worshippers.
That would explain why one of the bible characters was talking to a donkey
Angels are human messengers. Michael is the title for the high priest, and Gabriel is the title for the second ranking priest.
Agreed, in Hebrew, angel is simply translated as messenger, mal'akh' (מַלְאָךְ).Then again, this video also brings up the idea of Theophany, or the idea that Jesus makes a physical appearance in the Old Testament (or Tānāḵ): 1) Jesus is one of the three visitors telling Abraham that Sarah will give birth to a son (Genesis 18), & 2) Jacob wrestles with an angel (Genesis 32:22-32).
Great topic and presentation!
From my studies, i understand them as pre-human, non human, miltarized clone army...
Many featuring abilities and features seen in the animal kingdom.
Watchful, tactful, mission oriented unless sidetracked like at mt herman or Genesis 6.
Sonetimes i wonder if they are robotic shapeshiters or the flying vehicles themselves...
Maghines with souls! I dont think this is impossible for God...
Genesis 6:3
And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Numbers 16:22
And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?
Numbers 27:16
Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
Job 4:15
Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
The pipes and stones make it sound mechanical.
Quartz crystals in electronics...
Ezekiel 28:13
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
I'd like to see you debate a religious historian on how angels are really portrayed... ( Spoiler not white people)
What does Christmas has to do with Christianity?
The clue is written on the tin. Arse behind you, elbow between shoulder and wrist
how would we know if its true in the first place i mean what they wrote down
That’s why there is a branch of study called, history. To figure such things out.
Is there a " we"?
There is no magic in writing, and men (human beings/dreaming machines) are not only not invariably truthful, but are also frequently mistaken. Never accept anything without question
It was the lead in the gasoline .

like and comment, you knobs!
Its interesting to see this discussion on Free Will and "are we slaves to our genes...after see the Centre Place video on Was Paul Gay and John flatly says "We are born" this.
As a gay guy. I know wasn't born gay. My boyfriend this he was because he remembers this very early in life.
But...that aside this is one the more interesting lectures.
If someone can decide to be gay or straight, I would assume that means they are bisexual
*Is* there a " we"
Sorrt chum, it'd just you- nobody else; the kinderlander-American "we" is a kind of comfort blanket.
My own agenda is to always look for the Cataclysm and Lost Civilization hints in the religious texts and legends and myths.
I find it interesting, that in some of the depictions of the named Angels and Lucifer they hold a lance at an angle. For me that angle always hints at the 23.5 degree tilt of the rotational axis of the Earth and where it points (- which plays a role in “The Great Year” / The precession of the Equinoxes / The Long Calendar; and maybe as a slightly adjacent hint it may point to issues with the axis in General, like in Earth Crust displacement theories, that have the Earth tilting over at the Cataclysm); also the lance might be doubling as a symbol for the impactor, as would the Flaming Sword (- Younger Dryas impact hypothesis).
-The Cherubim as winged Bull and winged Lion hint at the Taurid and Leonid meteor streams.-
Edit: The Cherubs guarding the Throne is the Constellation in which the Sun rises on the vernal equinox: Leo and Taurus. See “The precession of the Equinoxes”.
The Seraphim as “the burning ones” again hint at a Bolide / fiery meteor, or even ejecta from the sun itself (micro nova as responsible for certain isotopes in layers on the Earth that are not that old, geologically speaking.)
I’m still very much confused about the antediluvian part of the story.
The Nephilim as “the fallen ones” and the “Giants” and “the great men of renown” could - if not taken literally - fit in with Graham Hancock’s bringers of civilization from the lost precursor civilization/ Atlantis, especially since they taught metallurgy and medicine (kind of mirrored in the depictions of Michael and Raphael).
But taken literally (“fallen ones”= from above,) they might be better made fit with the whole UFOlogy / Ancient Aliens idea. The taking of the women doesn’t exactly sound like modern stories of kidnapping by Aliens, but the whole idea of Hybrids might be seen as Eugenics, maybe even partly successful (“Men of Renown”), but also as an unnatural transgression against God, as ultimately theirs was the civilization that went under in the flood.
Whatever they were, they must have originated on this Earth: I don’t think that Aliens from Outer Space make sense: there can be no interstellar travel on the timescales of a single life, even if they were from a longer lived species. FTL travel is not a thing.
As I consider myself an Atheist, I tend to share the regret which Graham Hancock expresses over humanity being a “species with amnesia”.
If the cataclysm is cyclical, and we are coming close to the next one, I find it regrettable, if again it would hit us right when we are at the cusp of Artificial Intelligence and Gene Editing / Creation of new Life-Forms in the Lab and Space Travel (albeit within our own Solar System).
On the other hand: If I were a Christian awaiting the End-Times, watching how humanity begins to transgress what up until now counted as Human, making our own God (AI), fiddling around with DNA, trying to again build our Tower of Babel and reach the Heavens, I would welcome the big reset button.
As Randall Carlson teaches: in the reading of the Alchemists and the Mystics and finally Rosicrucians the hidden (occult) meaning of INRI was not “Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews”, but “Igni Natura Renovatur Integra”: in Fire Nature gets wholly renewed.
It is not far fetched: if the Sun indeed does do a substantially bigger Carrington Event (- call it Micronova or not), another “advanced civilization” will vanish from this Earth, namely ours. Technology becomes indistinguishable from Magic. Then our civilization would be considered Demigods and Giants and Men of Renown.
P.S.: As for pop cultural references:”All of this has happened before, and it will happen again. So say we all.” (Battlestar Galactica)

A typical image a Christian thinks of, wings , hovering above our heads,
Came from carvings, statues, or Roman coins, most of their Gods are depicted with wings .
The halo, comes from paganism, Sol the sun God, or mithras, a similar pagan God of the sun.
Christian angels, & early saints, basically replaced the pagan top God and the lesser Gods ,
Which the Romans basically copied but gave their own spin to the Greek gods, demigods etc ..
Many Christian churches in ancient European countries are built on top of much older pagan temples.
Verulamium in England has a 10th c Saxon church built on top of a first century Roman pagan temple.
The opposite side of the Roman city has another 10th century Saxon church built on top of 1st century pagan memorials ..
Almost like they're trying to erase the memory of anything pagan.
Post-modern culture probably doesn't "get" all these connections, but even so, we might be influenced by literary sources like Dante's Inferno & Paradiso & Milton's Paradise Lost & Paradise Regained. But "Dudley", probably not! "When I think of "Dudley", (Baby Boomer that I am, I think of Dudley Do Right!
@@EvelynElaineSmith I havnt read any of those books Milton's paradise or the other, I read a little bit of Dante's inferno but it's not for me.
Most of my reading is academic, archaeology.
Or English history,, , bernard Cornwall is only fiction I read , because his books are well researched re history, the last kingdom series is great, and Agincourt, & harlequin are excellent books .
@@kevwhufc8640 ~ I majored in English as an undergraduate & hold an MA & Ph.D. in English literature with a minor in rhetoric, & then I taught English at the middle school, high school, community college, & university level along the way, so I've read a lot of classic. I recommend reading some Milton. He is an impressive writer!
@@EvelynElaineSmith an MA and PhD , wow , impressive
I graduated 30 years ago with a BSc in field archaeology
I should have an MA by now but tbh I really hated college,
The lectures were great but the essays the pages and pages , the stress and sleepless nights, I hated it.
I understand people like yourself, the need for so much reading and writing.
But when I started volunteering I realised I was learning more about field archaeology in a day that I was after months of reading and writing.
I nearly gave up college a few times but I'm glad I saw it through and graduated..
I would understand the need for all the reading if I wanted to specialise in ceramics or human remains, etc .
But field archaeology is something that one learns from practical experience.
So I have a lot of respect for anyone with MA even more so with Phds .
Its strange because its not that I hate reading or writing, I love both , English was one of my favourite classes at school, I loved creative writing , always have, I wrote the songs when I was in a rockabilly band, I love reading if its something I want to read,
I've spent years ( all put together) mainly about the history of my city , archaeology is practical, we can't create stories .
But its impossible to close ones mind to the gaps , or read something that history books claim, and not judge them, criticise the stories compared to the archaeological facts ive learned.
StAlbans, known as verlamio as seen on late iron age coins or verulamium after the Roman's invaded.
Stories that involve my city , that I know are hugely over exaggerated, or have no evidence to support them.
Caesar supposedly defeated the catuvellauni tribe with 1200 men and wiped out the warriors destroyed their settlement and so on.
Yet the evidence indicates the complete opposite.
Or boudicca killing 50k when the Iceni came through verulamium with 100-200k rebels.
Even though the region involved had nowhere near that amount of people all put together.
Historians tell stories but don't explain where so many people came from.
Before my interest in archaeology and college , I just assumed history books gave the history, the facts , it never occurred to me about the origins or facts , I just took for granted they were factual .
Now I dont trust anything unless the archaeology supports the story .
Its quite shocking how much written history has nothing to support it re archaeology.
A few words attributed to Caesar and others like Cato , are accepted as facts , even though few are contemporary and a few things that do survive have been taken by Victorian historians and are now accepted as factual history.
I know the population of the Iceni, the trinovantes of Essex, the size of London 18 years after the invasion 15 years ( less in some parts) after the south was subdued and Roman rule accepted .
Utube has videos from the 70s where excavations in London show layers of burning which was attributed to boudicca, with recent technology test pits and results of soil samples from those 'boudiccan layers" we now know are much later ,early 3rd century, fire was a common thing in wooden buildings lite by open flames .
Its impossible to get a larger picture of London ( central London) because the buildings cover Roman Saxon and medieval London, its unlikely any new development will require excavating to the depths ( mid 1st century) we need to reevaluate previous conclusions..
..sorry I digress ,
Basically I just wanted to say I'm so wrapped up with reading researching everything I can find regarding my city , I don't have the time for milton or anything like that , maybe in later years , but the few books I do read are as I've already mentioned, light hearted historical 'faction' such as bernard Cornwall writes .
I am interested in voltaire, but apparently a lot of his humour is lost in translation, I don't know if that's true .
But he seems a very interesting man , and lived wrote in a time when Europe was constantly changing. ;)
Has anyone ever encountered an Angel???
Not that I know of
Angels appear in the NDEs (Near Death Experience) of James Woodford and Tricia Barker. Angels also appeared to several people at the Marian apparitions at Fatima, Portugal.
I work alongside people who study all kinds things, to do with history,
Myself its Roman, coins artifacts, others Saxon, or Tudor
Experts in languages, medieval charters,
Most I have no interest in, some, such as experts in languages, just by listening to them, I know its beyond me
But I do know one thing, its something so complex, only a few have brains wired to understand it , like the guys who built & deciphered Enigma,or built early mechanical computers.
There are some things that cant be taught unless they are born with brain that's wired to understand.
Languages constantly changed, evolved,, words came and went , or meant something different to the original.
Modern example, bad = good , sick = good .
Slang , or shortened versions of the original, have been happening for millennia.
..So most people have to trust the translator , when reading something in English.
Ancient Greek couldn't be translated into English 2000 or even 1000 years ago , because English was completely different.
When were the translated version first done ? And what language was used ?
When and who by ?
Most things read today are not copies of contemporary originals.
Greek, latin, 1100 ad differs from 100 bc .
Many languages don't have words that can be translated.
So who decides what words to use in place, how close are they , many words look the same but have different meanings in the way they are used .
To, too , two,
Who ,Hoo , , I'm sure there are better examples, those just came to me first.
How accurate are these translations is my point ...
Doesn't the words to, too and two all have a plural meaning to them.
Here's one that I find odd, the Latin word Virgo, meaning "virgin", but cut in two(into), 'vir' means "man" in Latin, 'gyne' (gin) is Greek for "woman", so the word "virgin", Man/Woman, is a Virgo, play the words "Boy/Girl" in reverse, you hear it echo "Virgo", it doesn't stop here, in astrology, Virgo is the Belly Button, and rules 3 weeks of September, your belly button is your First Scar, cut from the placenta, which is the meaning of Chensit, the wife of Septu, still not done, in Latin, septem means Seven, Septu is one one the ways of saying Sopdu, who was known as the planet Venus, a planet that spends 7 weeks hidden by the Sun, retrogrades 43 days (4+3=7), every 77 weeks.
Join the 3 sevens (777) together, to make a 60 degree triangle, which would be the hieroglyph of Sopdu/Septu. Venus is like Virgo, hidden words, with both Venus & 7, its where yo find Eve hiding, between the S'N, if you play "Sin Eve" in reverse, you hear it echo "Venus". In Hebrew Shiva means 7, also known as Kala, which means "Time" in Sanskrit, a 60 degree triangle, 3x6=3 hours, 3x7=21 hours, the 60 degree triangle equals 24 hours, 60 in the angle of 7, allowing 7 hours to sleep, 7 hours to work, 7 hours to play, the angle in 60x7=420, Shiva's favorite pastime, his consort is Kali, in Hebrew Kalil is a word used in the Burnt Offering, It means "that which goes up [in smoke]". It is formed from the active participle of the verb alah (עָלָה), "to cause to ascend." The ancient Sumerian god Alla was a dying and rising god like "The Child" Damu, who was born to a Virgin, a "Son of Alla" is a Macalla, which means "Echo" in Irish, in Hebrew, Makala means "Who is like God", in Hebrew Batkol, "bat" is Hebrew for Daughter, "mac" is Irish for Son, Bat-Kol means "Voice of God".
The name Tammuz seems to have been derived from the Akkadian form Tammuzi, based on early Sumerian Damu-zid, The Flawless Young, which in later standard Sumerian became Dumu-zid, or Dumuzi. Tammuz means ''twin born" and Thomas means twin in Aramaic as does his Greek epithet Didymus.
Does that help you out with the understanding of To, Too, and Two.
"There are some things that cant be taught unless they are born with brain that's wired to understand."
“The temperaments of those whose span of life she pronounces at their birth Erigone (Virgo) will direct to study, and she will train their minds in the learned arts. She will give not so much abundance of wealth as the impulse to investigate the causes and effects of things. On them she will confer a tongue which charms, the mastery of words, and that mental vision which can discern all things, however concealed they be by the mysterious workings of nature. From the Virgin will also come the stenographer: his letter represents a word, and by means of his symbols he can keep ahead of utterance and record in novel notation the long speech of a rapid speaker. But with the good there comes a flaw: bashfulness handicaps the early years of such persons, for the Maid, by holding back their great natural gifts, puts a bridle on their lips and restrains them by the curb of authority. And (small wonder in a virgin) her offspring is not fruitful.” [Astronomica, Manilius, 1st century AD, p.237 and 239]
Roger means "Famous Spear", hiding in Roger is erigo, to raise · to erect · to build · to rouse · to excite · to stimulate, Roger is slang for Penis.
Play "Her Star, Rog Envy, Rog Genome" in reverse, you hear it echo "Morning Star, Evening Star, Roger"
Roger McCullough is a Virgo, who chúlú (reverse) his words revealing their macalla.
“At her rising Erigone (Virgo, who reigned with Justice over a bygone age and fled when it fell into sinful ways, bestows high eminence by bestowing supreme power; she will produce a man to direct the laws of the state and the sacred code; one who will tend with reverence the hallowed temples of the gods.” [Astronomica, Manilius, 1st century AD, p.265]
Enki created the Divine Temple Builder from a Pinch of clay, giving him the name Kulla, and his son MacCulla.
"Who, Hoo is Lu; Lugh? he is the father of the Hound of Ulster, McCullough "Son of the Hound of Ulster'. Lugh is known for his Famous Spear "Assal", in Irish, "asal" means "Donkey".
"The spear of Assal of ridgy fitting gold, dead is he upon whom it casteth blood truly: its valour does not strike in error if only one calls out 'Iubar.' If 'Athibar' be said to it, it returns into its leather sheath; till it comes to the hand from which it went forth..."
Areadbhar translates into English as "slaughterer." Alternatively, some scholars think that Lugh's spear is actually the Luin of Celtchar.
Iubar
From Proto-Indo-European *dyew-bʰeh₂-es- ("bringing the light of daytime", literally "sky-shining"), from *dyew- ("sky, heaven") (whence Latin diēs ("day")) and *bʰeh₂- ("to shine") (whence Ancient Greek φάος ("light")).
in Latin brightness, light, radiance are the top translations of "iubar" into English.
Athibar
at-hi, ath-i ] The baby girl name Athi is pronounced as EY-THiy †. Athi is of Old Greek origin. Athi is a variant of Athena (English, German, and Greek).
In Hebrew ath: a sign
athah or atha: to come
bar: son
Sopdu/Septu, son of Sahu "The Hidden One" who we call Orion, Hatysa is the star at the end of his Spear, we call his Sword, Hatya meaning in English is Manslaughter (हत्या). similar words like Murder, Kill and Killing Hindi Translation is हत्या. Hatysa read backwards (reverse) means "Savior of Sinner", 'haat' means "To sin", 'yasa' means "Savior", hidden in the tip of Orion's sword is Haya, means Grain/ Seed, he is known both as a "door-keeper" and associated with the scribal arts.
Gohatya means Cow Killer, play the words "Her Mithras" in reverse, it echoes "September", Mithras was known as the Bull Slayer. Play "They All Rule" in reverse, you hear it echo "Orion".
Roger is Lewallyn(Llewellyn), meaning Like a Lion/Ruling, from Lugh/Belinus.
Lugh is known to be a Trickster, am I tricking you like Lugh?

Angels are angels of sunlight.
Angles are not knowitalls, Angels are called by God for His Holy Work, But many angels fall into temptations of this world, and have no idea God has called them to His Holy Work,,, But when God in His Mercy grants us Light,,, then we awaken to Satan's ways that for longgggg periods in many ways has decived us.
WE do have power, in prayers,, Why God even hears our prayers in my sins,, I have no idea.,,, But He has,, at least some of my prayers. But also punishments will remain til God lifts the Holy Judgements. Now I am livinga clean life, We abgels are like God';s eyes and ears, we pray for things that we know is not right here on earth,,,and If we maintain faith, God will answer our pryaers one way or another. WE do have powers, But this only by God's Spirit.
WE angels act like God's witnesses, also His Watchmen, What we see we tell God in our prayers. Mostly I inform God that this world has too much antichrist spirit and that we of gnosis are not able to breathe in this world,, That it must be Judged, so those who are of faith and gnosis can live in peace on this earth. So yes angels bring Gods Holy Judgements upon this earth. So if you see things going from bad to worse to worser to worseest,, thats us angels asking God to render His longggg over due Holy Judgements...
Not all angels are of gnosis, some are not very intelligent.

You tell a lot of descriptions about angels butyou say nothing ,substantial, How they are made , born ; who made them, how they are sustained in existence, what is their substance, are they exclusively spirits or they are material to,if they are material why dont we ever fall on them,what is the actual function of every category .... And so on

There is a reason Enoch did not make in the canon: This book is even more stupid than the rest of the Bible.

That is quite a long video. The short answer is. BS
Introduction heavy. Get to your story.
Did angels actually exist or is this all Hebrew mythology
It's all Jewish mythology, but you already knew this.
European mythology is way cooler. I don't know why so many people focus solely on desert stories.
Angels are a part of the same genus as pigs.
yhwh isnt God, yhwh is kabbalah method, also known as four realms. when our body is filled with elohim/holy spirit/angels, and using yhwh, we can talk to God. this is why in ancient pot, we can see six pointed star in sky. it is not God, six pointed star is a symbol of yhwh, and with it, we can talk to God on outside of this world, which is why the star is being depicted on the sky
