I was wondering if you have a video covering the fact that the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was in the middle of the garden (according to Eve). Yet, both the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and the Tree of Life were both described as being in the *midst* of the garden. I referenced both NASB2020 and ESV. I loved your video comparing the tree of life with the holy of holies, yet, I thought it wasn't the tree of life at the center of the garden...
@@siblingstation6902 Hi! Respectfully, it doesn't matter if it is in the midst or in the center. What is really important is what they represent. What is the message the author is trying to tell us? Wisdom... Life... God is both and we lost access because of our poor choices. We must seek GOD'S Wisdom (lean not on your own understanding) and we lost access to LIFE, one of the reasons Jesus had to come. He came so that we have life, something we don't deserve. He paid our debt in full. You can view the reference to the trees in the Genesis videos. God Bless!
How come you didn't mention that the Fruit of the Tree of Life (who is Jesus Christ Himself) is now offered to people as the Bread and Wine in the Holy Communion: "While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you." Jesus didn't say this is "like" my body, He didn't say the parable or a metaphor, He literally said: this IS my body. And as Jesus is the Fruit from the Tree of Life, so is His body and blood in the Holy Comunion. The fact that people call themselves Christians, and reject the Fruit of Life is mind boggling.
I always interpreted it as a choice. Think “academia” or “life” Both provide knowledge. Just in different forms. It’s your choice but like in the Bible, filling your head with abstract concepts instead of experiencing them is a “dead-end”. Take learning when it comes because it always does. God is Good. Period. What He says goes. “Knowledge of good and evil” is determined by God alone, hence when people try to determine for themselves based on their “knowledge”, they wander the desert. Jesus is God on Earth, with all the limitations inherent there in. Empathy. He surrounds Himself with Apostles for a reason. He is the ultimate Judge of Good and Evil. That’s why he asked, “Why do you say I’m good?” It is not for anyone else to Judge. Only GOD
I've been saying that death is like a door just go through the door duh and on the other side is u, for humans to auctually loose there ground of being is to change some nature, the reason humans belief they have Beginnings via God is because God made agreements with nature to change the nature of humans & that's because God desires to live with humans to be there teacher for intellectual purposes, obviously God had to be nature or nature would assign God his nature in a sense difference is nature is more than personhood or entity essentially
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” II Corinthians 5:17 NKJV Thank you, Jesus!!
@@KamiTenchi Angels are not gods there is only one God.Why do you think angels always tell people not to worship them they are servants of God just like us.
GLaude Vodensy There are other powerful spiritual beings that exist, not just angles but other creatures as well. At times they are referred to as gods (elohim) in the Bible. However the Bible makes it very clear that Yehwah is the One true God who created all things (including all other spiritual beings) and that He alone is deserving of all worship and reverence) It’s true that the angles serve God and direct people to worship Him but the fallen spiritual beings all want nothing more than to be worshiped by humans and sadly many humans do worship them by the way they live. These are the powers of darkness, rulers and principalities that Paul informs believers are the true enemy of the church and not people (flesh and blood). Would be interested to hear your thoughts on this.
It was really cool but a little bit confusing not to me but to the nun believes and the one who don't know the Bible but over all it was a cool way of putting it
It's amazing how constant themes run throughout the Bible considering that it was written over a period of 1000 years by ~40 different authors. One could even call it divine.
I mean...people have been sharing stories for MILLIONS of years,and most of them have been told only by mouth due to ether not having of invented a form of writing or it simply being part of their culture.
@@JT5555 Millions of years? Nope. Even if you go by what Evolutionary "Science" says, humans are only supposedly 200 000 years old. Secondly, those word of mouth fables kept getting details added to them or removed from them and eventually the story starts to resemble a whole new story. The Bible is proof that it's the divine living Word because it is a collection of books written by different people over a I think 1500 years and the message throughout is the same. There is no other book like it. None.
Yes, as orthodox Christians, and if you read what the early Christians believed, this really means the bread and wine actually becoming the very flesh and blood of Jesus Christ, they never believed it symbolises it, they always believed it really was his flesh and blood
Harry Georgiou transubstantiation didn’t start until over 1 thousand years after Christ’s death. What do you mean early Christians? Romanism is like a cancer with all the love in the world of course.
Luka Iremadze Hebrews 9:12 once for all time (ephapax) not for all people but ONCE (temporal). Hebrews 10:3 a “reminder” (anamnesis) only other place besides the book of Hebrews that it’s used coincidentally is during communion when Jesus says do this in (anamnesis) in remembrance. So when the early Christians were doing “communion” is was as a symbol a (anamnesis) not the literal body and blood of Christ. Again Romanism is a cancer with love I say these things.
@@nazarethgarcia1541 I take my previous comment. this is a bigger topic than I can argue. But basically what your saying is all the early Christians had it wrong and if it was not for Luther, Christianity lived in deciet. With the best of my knowledge I'll try to address your citations. Yes Christ offered his body as sacrifice once and for all. When we commune we are not sacrificing Christ again, so none of those verses contradict the Eucharist... Rather we become partakers of His already sacrificed body and blood as gift for us. You are what you eat. Eat Christ and become Christ in grace.
Everything I know. Knowledge, intelligence, witty, wisdom, morality, I asked the LORD in prayer because Solomon (son of David) asked GOD in prayer if HE could grant him HIS Wisdom to rule over GOD's people so I prayed too and (all praise unto the LORD!!) the LORD also granted me HIS Wisdom and I got it!! ❤❤🙇♂️🙇♂️🙏🕊
I'm a native born U.S.A. language student. Even though I'm fluent for two decades in Spanish, I'm still just a student because it isn't my native language. I continue to look for resources in French and Italian. But I must admit that English has the best gospel language learning tools that I have encountered. To God be the glory!
Was thinking the same thing! Color themes, light, story, the use of mountain horizons to portray time passage, the Jesus tree being chopped down...all of it was one of the best gospel presentations I think i have ever seen.
As a young Christian...this without a doubt one of the greatest videos I have ever watched. Thank you for explaining everything I was confused about before. I feel closer to God than ever now.
@@nicholaslobban8346 Trust me, it's not honest or Biblically accurate. I have a comment in here breaking down some of the nonsense in this video. I find this too often with Biblical Literalists wanting to add aspects of the New Testament into the Old Testament when they're not there. Connections can certainly be made, but this video is making up "facts" to force a connection.
@@names_are_useless I've seen your breakdown of it and I can understand where you're coming from. I made the comment about 2 years ago so I wanted some clarification as to why someone said it was unbiblical. I think Bible Project probably made some errors but I don't think it was their intent to force a narrative
@@nicholaslobban8346 regardless of intent, they are. If The Bible is the true Word of God, it should not be deciphered with false narratives. How would you feel if scientists just changed some numbers and formulas to meet their original hypothesis? Playing the interpretation game, when the original authors are no longer around, is very dangerous and I see it happening all the time in Christian Churches constantly. It's even worse when Preachers will tell you "God spoke to them" because I don't know whether I can trust if that's true or if it's just confirmation bias on their part. Bottom line: read The Bible for yourself in as many translations as you can. And please don't read just 1: context can change between translations. You'd also be surprised how many Preachers will get hung up on a single translation because they didn't look up the original Hebrew and Greek.
I'm a reborn Christian, 66 years old, and besides that, a scientist familiar with physics, chemistry, and cosmology. I must once again praise you! This is much better than quarrels of elitist theologians also here on UA-cam, in which the Holy Spirit or Christ in us comes far too short! But you (mainly) young people: please read the relevant Bible passages yourself and make your own thoughts, just like the Bilbleproject team recommends it. God bless you. Greetings from Germany.
So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life (Genesis 3:24). Not even Jesus Christ can get to that tree.
New Jerusalem No my sister, Yeshua can! Please Read Psalm 24! The King of Glory can ascend the mountain of the Lord! - and all those with clean hearts and pure hands (ie those that have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb - who is also the King of Hosts here!).
If you're in Christ you are no longer a sinner, even if you see yourself sin. All you sin has been washed away, it's already been judged at the cross and you are given the GIFT of righteousness. You are forgiven.
Based on the bible, Adam and Eve were barred from the tree of life and then we see it in Revelation 22:1,2 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. The Garden of Eden seems to be no longer on earth, but taken up by God to heaven until the great controversy is over. Genesis 3:23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. Genesis 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. What are your thoughts on this?
We have so much to be thankful for, Jesus is such a sweetheart ,so kind, gentle, loves us all , but he like any father does not play games.......he means what he says and says what he means. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Respect , honor should be to him daily. Thank You father
In the midst of the ever-growing darkness in this age, I have been experiencing greater intimacy with the Holy Spirit. His presence is so incredible! I believe there is a revival happening, a multitude of transformed hearts, opened eyes and refocused lives. Now more than ever, it is our duty and honor to rise up with boldness and love in the name of Jesus for His glory and for the salvation of souls! One week ago, God put this scripture in my heart: James 1:21 NKJV 21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. I know that its no coincidence that God led me to this scripture, and now this video is released illustrating this beautifully. The Holy Spirit is at work, and the return of Jesus is ever closer! Hallelujah!
It's the times brother. The ekklessia of the last days is being prepared. All the true believers that are faithful no matter the denomination will join together, out of sheer necessity. We are finally gonna be called out of the exile, out of the harlot Babylon, like it was with Moses and Ezra. The true congregation is about to be revived. Lets pray, fast, read the word and wait for the days to come.
Romans 10:9: "that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 14:11: "It is written: “As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before Me; every tongue will confess to God.” 1 Corinthians 15:28: "And when ALL things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put ALL THINGS under Him, so that God may be ALL IN ALL." These people with all their beautiful imagery are hiding two important things: 1.The salvation of all and - 2.The fact that revelation deals NOT with symbols but a coming tribulation and an alien invasion: excerpt from Revelation: "And I saw three unclean spirits that looked like FROGS coming out of the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. These are demonic spirits that perform signs and go out to all the kings of the earth, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God, the Almighty." We are being accustomed to demons and aliens and their potential "humanity" by hollywood for a reason. Its there in plain sight.
It's also important for us to introduce our children to Jesus. This world is attacking them 24/7! Still can't believe what Dwyane Wade is doing to his son.
The concept of a little goes a long way is constantly utilized in these videos. Each video is very short with so little time to give any reasonable amount of information and yet each video gives a tremendous amount of truth in spite of. This is a brilliant way to always leave the viewer craving more truth once each video ends. Its a Wonderful way to captivate the mind of believers and nonbelievers alike. I really enjoy these videos. If your reading this post please take time today and prostrate yourself in a closed room before a Holy God because HE alone is worthy of it!!
In Jesus, there is hope, life, truth, and way to be near closer to God than we could ever imagine and instead of our own understanding and strength. Throughout the stories in the bible when there is chaos, Jesus came in life and showed us the unconditional love God gives to us for free and Jesus became our friend, Lord and Savior when we accept Him that whoever believes in Him shall not perished but have eternal life. May God bless us all!! this is truly a heartwarming video thank you for making this 💗
Wow.. the holy Spirit showed this to me yesterday and he's been telling me watch it again and listen closely.. and I did again and I can't believe what it's revealing to me ..my, my, my ears do hear, my eyes do see, my soul does feel Lord..it's so Beautiful. Such a Bessing!! Thank you guys thank you holy Spirit!! I've heard this story probably 10 times other ways but I finally got it today!!😊🙌🕊️🔥 Tears of joy. What a treasure what a glorious job guys!! praise Jesus!! Look at all those views!! keep going and have a blessed day!! ❤️😊❤️🙌✝️🕊️🔥 Can't stop watching can't stop listening
That was st up id. How human become a tree? Are you guys watch the slander man? Or something? Jesus make path to human to go to heaven. It is not some kind of this st u pid imagination.
I’m a teenage girl, under the beliefs of Hebrew Israelites and I never been so fascinated about the Bible in all my life. Yes! I do bible readings with my family but in the end I just never cared and wanted to do my own thing in the end. Yet ofc, I’m an artist, anything that involves art always catches my attention so this? Is win for me. I did have the dream long ago to make a TV series of the Bible in the most coolest and metaphoric way possible and that dream died long ago, but you reminded me how cool it really can be! I would like to continue that dream once again and this time I won’t give up. (Mainly am doing this for myself and everyone I care about, to make them proud ^^”)
Please reconsider the purpose for doing it. Instead of seeking the approval of your love ones, do it because YOU love them so much you do not want them to spend eternity in heaven but instead you want them to spend eternity in the presence of our LORD and to be in heaven with you. I'm doing so, I have no doubt our Lord will bless your endeavors endlessly. Looking forward of hearing of your works in the future
Seeing this 2 years later. I hope all is well. And if it's not? I want you to know that God is still with you. He still loves you so so much ❤. Whatever is going on right now, because of Jesus, you can talk to God right now and he will comfort you. Stay strong Christian friend ❤
the phrase for 'christian with beliefs of israelites' is messianic Jew, although it is controversial, because secular Jews say messianic Judaism is just Christianity, and Christians say messianic Judaism is just Judaism
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” -Jeremiah 17:7-8.
Its funny how it also relates to the story of Jesus in the fig tree. Where he cursed the treee for not bearing fruits even though its not fruit bearing season yet
This channel is so important it's actually disruptive. It brings the scriptures to the 21st century by making it way more accessable and understandable while keeping the core messages. This is how best to study the Bible on your first run through it. People before us became saints over stuff like this.
Umm...the blessed saints and early church fathers have already written the whole concept is their writings. However as you said, this channel is very important.
Through evolution of our culture, our definition and understanding of a language changes. This is perhaps why the pharisees misunderstood Jesus intention. Jesus saw that need to tell stories through parables so the generation could get a new fresh perspective on the essence of what God tried to tell them in the first place. Generations has passed since then and history repeats itself, and it makes me happy to see the bible project telling the stories of the bible in visual parables so our current generation can get a new fresh perspective on the essence of what God tried to tell us in the first place. This is why the bible project is disruptive, and why it is so important.
Yes, biblical scripture that is energized! So many people have been force-fed lifeless, uninspiring doctrines that have driven them away from the Bible. This video is the opposite. Like an onion that is peeled, this goes past the surface layers, to the core. Awesome--they nailed it!
Alexander Gyr not sure Yeshua told in parables to bring new perspectives! - see below! Yes maybe others will benefit from the animation & clarity but therein lies the risk of the Enemy! Always refer to Scripture because with much blessings the Enemy attacks - 10 years ago Power point presentations & smoke machines and bands dominated access to God! - and yet sin even worsened! Yes we pray that they and others like them may stay true to their true calling which is the inheritance of eternal life with Yeshua more mind blowing than this minuscule illustration!!! No eye had seen! No mind imagined what awaits us my brother! “And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.” Matthew 13:10-11 NKJV
I just want to say the work you guys are doing is wonderful. Discovering/watching your videos has felt like God speaking to me directly about things in the Bible I’ve wanted to understand deeper.
Very poetic and beautiful! Amen! God has been encouraging me to make sure my roots (roots=where I get my nourishment/stability/security) are in Him - rather than any lies or counterfeit comforts. Choose life. -The Hirtz Life Show 🎥📺🙌🏼
“Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so also whoever eats me, the same shall live because of me.” (John 6:57-58)
@nobodyimpt What are you saying? You think Jesus meant to literally eat his actual flesh and drink his blood? You must be confused. We eat the bread and drink of the cup, in remembrance. If you wanted to cannibalize Jesus, I would believe that you are eating of the wrong tree.
@@voidremoved You mean “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” and Jesus respond to you “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you. 54Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.". Christians believed that for 1600 years (even Luther and Calvin) because is so clear.
Right like when Moses struck the rock...Jesus was that rock..and he is a rock for us meaning strong foundation..like so many themes in the bible line up and with other themes..idk if that made since..lol
Revelation 22 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.
Wanda Maximoff No, not whatever they say. That’s pure heresy. While I understand the sentiment of not wanting to start an argument, they have been deceived and, evidently, have become a false teacher.
This is absolutely incredible! I was reading Genesis 3:22-24 this morning, and God showed me the revelation of this! This is the story I wrote from it: How the Tree of Life is as the Galaxies of the Heavens! For Adam and Eve to have been forgiven, they only had to return to the flaming sword, bow down in repentance and ask for forgiveness, to then follow God's Will only, for them to eat of the fruit of the tree of life, as we as have the knowledge of good and evil... how shame consumed them! All Praise to Jesus, for being our sacrifice and key of His Sovereign Word (Sword) to enter back into the garden and to have Eternal Life! As God's children we have both of these trees indwelling, have Righteous Wisdom and Discernment, as well as Eternal Life with Jesus. Halleluiah! Praise the Lord!
Amen. This is really a great way of putting the Story of the Redemption of man. Obedience has everything to do with it too. Even in these latter/last days, God requires obedience from us, despite grace, love and mercy, He still requires obedience from us, to His rules and laws.
So blessed, thank you Lord for Your mercy and love, that never give up with us, You reach & find us, and You give us a responsible to do what You do, shining for Your Glory
Choose this day whom you will serve As for me and my house We will serve You Lord Lifting holy hands in worship We will not bow down to the gods of men We will worship the God of Israel [Extract from the song "You are Holy" by Joshua Aaron]
@Demonic Queen obviously you believe in demons since that’s what you call yourself. It don’t make sense you would call yourself demonic Queen if you don’t believe in the Creator For many are deceived by their own vain opinion; and an evil suspicion hath overthrown their judgment. Ecclesiasticus 3:24
One could also read this in the book of Joshua, where the songwriter would have had it from. It's always best to go straight to the source for things like this
@@TheMrMKultra His sheep know His voice. Christians automatically recognize a Bible verse or phrase when they hear it. It's like when Jesus preached. Almost every phrase He said can be traced down to at least one or two verses in the OT, and Christians who know their Bible get the references. Don't worry, I also share your passion for the Word of God just like you. God bless you bro!
Thank you, Bible Project, you’ve been an answer to prayer. I don’t think I’ve ever anticipated a video more than this one; because I ’ve been following the podcast on the trees, design patterns, and poetry, which inspired me to write this poem to crystalize what I’m trying to learn from God’s Word. Blessings from Guam, keep fighting the good fight! _After Eden_ There is a tree in the garden. Beautiful of sight. The sky begins to darken Lost in the light. So a choice was given, And a choice was taken. A bitter truth to reckon, A ruins God-forsaken. The Tree of Life is hewn. The stench of death is burning. The seed of sin blooms. The hand of time is turning. There is a tree in the garden. A cherub bars the way. Lock the cell, the warden Threw the key away. An angelic deathwatch Its two-edged sword aflame. Where is the night watch? For innocence is slain. Elysium has fallen, And Paradise is lost. Our freedom was stolen, And life was the cost. There is a lamb on the altar And a beast in the field If its prey shall falter Sin will have its fill two brothers enter the field Yet only one returned So blood has been spilled An offering is unburned. There is an ark on the waters. Let the old world drown. Only Noah’s sons and daughters Shall be spared the sound Of the thunder of God With the storm and flood. To end man, so flawed, For water mingles with blood, The Ark sits upon the mount. The war bow is laid down. Promise springs from the fount, And mercy shall abound. A new home takes root, So rejoice and rest. Let vineyards bare fruit For begins another test. There is no lamb on the altar The son shall take its place Resolve must not falter Yet the father hides his face He trembles at the thought His knife glistens in the sun Undo what has been wrought And take the life of your son. There’s a tree alight the summit The angel bright within The air grows grave and quiet A fiery apparition Oh, exiled Prince “I have heard their cries My power evince My people baptize. Moses, take thy staff. Wonders I will show, Until Pharaoh shall at last Let my people go.” There is a cloud aflame the peak A pillar of smoke enthroned. Shema, Jehova speaks, “Israel shall be my own This covenant shall bind Inscribe it in stone, Brand your soul and mind. I Am your God alone.” A false god invades the camp. People hearts are turned Dark swallows the lamp The Lord’s anger burns The priest took the gold Made idols on their behalf Whorring, their bodies sold And forged the golden calf “Unsheath not the sword. My God, stay thy wrath. Blot out my name, Oh Lord.” “Moshe, take thy staff. Let their sin turn to venom, And fire fill their veins. This is the day to reckon And earth be split in twain Yeshua, take the staff. See the flower bloom. Split the sea in half, And lead my people through. There is a thief in the midst. Who hath taken the profane. Tell me who thou didst, Whose conscious hath wane? “It was I who saw the gold And coveted the spoils For temptation took hold Entangled me in its coil.” There is a king amongst the crowd Desired above all A man strong and proud Anoint the one called Saul The lot is cast Jericho is falling As a ghost from the past The shadows crawling Whispering in his ear They desire thy throne So love turns to fear The King dies alone. There is a woman in the garden Beautiful of sight Tenderly, her fruit glistens The King desires her tonight Its sweet flesh turns pale A poison apple to bite So death peers through the veil A sin covered by night There are two lovers in the garden Where passion and wisdom meet The last remnant of Heaven Of the tree, did they eat For man and life The Mother of All Folly and strife After Eden, The Fall There is an altar upon the hill. A tree of crimson thorns By His blood, we are healed For this, He was born The Father hides His face The veil is torn This is the price of grace The son forlorn His throne is the grave. His glory is living. So Emmanuel saves For those believing. There is a tree in the garden. It stands in your way. Bearing your guilt and pardon. Choose: rebel or obey. You’re at the crossroad A moment eternal Let truth unfold Rebirth or Inferno The tree is in your life. Will you kneel before the Cross? This final sacrifice Give Him your shame and loss. Awake to the new Heaven and Earth See the river beside the tree. Witness redemption’s rebirth, And taste the fruit of eternity.
Even as a Jewish person, and not even religious, I truly appreciate the story of the Bible. Whether it is a metaphor or actual stories, they truly are beautiful and there is so much to learn from them. I'm proud to belong to the people who wrote those stories. Have a great day everyone! :D
The entire old testament points to Jesus. There is so much prophecy and typology, it's amazing. Jesus is the fulfillment, He is the Alpha and the Omega, the King of kings and Lord of lords. He is the only way to the Father. Who do you believe He is?
I'm a gentile and I believe in Jesus Christ. Jesus was Jewish, and Jews are Gods people so I'm only happy to see a Jewish person in the comments of a video such as this one. I don't wish to bother you, I just want to tell you that there is a thing called Messianic Judaism, which is a great thing IMO because you as Jewish don't need to be a part of any Christian church in order to follow Jesus Christ - since you're Jewish, if you ever wish so you can join other Jewish people and follow Jesus, have a nice day.
That is correct. And whether the Bible is a metaphor or a factual representation of material events is irrelevant. In both cases Jesus is right about everything and that is what makes Him God, whether the jews like it or not. Judaism is the continuation of the traditions of men as opposed to the rule of God and it is those traditions of men that are marching this world to destruction. It is because Maimonides explains the Bible as mere allegory that the jews afford themselves the authority to weave reality into whatever narrative they like. If you believe that judaism is benign and harmless then you are mistaken; judaism is satanism in its purest form. This is not an indictment of you as a person but an appeal to your soul as a human being. It is that appeal that God wants us to make upon each other and it is through the human form of Jesus that God revealed Himself to us so that we could understand what the image of God in human form is like. You truly will become born again when you realize how important Jesus is in the history of mankind and its fate. When you understand His importance, you will understand what is going on in the world.
I mean, beautiful! The imagery of the tree on the hill being chopped and killed in the shape of the cross, the bright and warm oranges visualizing holiness, contrasting heavily with the dark and cold purples that showed our evils. This is an amazingly made video, and I’m glad that you guys have been given from God to teach us about His Word in such well to understand, and welcoming ways, not withstanding the original texts, the original actions, or words, or trying to dumb it down in such a way that were being treated like we don’t know grass from plastic. I truly thank God for you guys. Goodnight, and God bless you
Thank you both so much for pointing that out!!! My pastor just went over the first 3 chapters of Revelation with me and somehow I completely looked over that!
Love is the fulfillment of the law. It’s by grace and faith that I will eat of it one day. I’m a Christian because God had mercy on my life. God spoke to me on a Sunday evening saying “I am” four days later I was invited to a prayer meeting and a brother in Christ laid his hand on me and I fell to the ground shaking and twitching on the floor. He said “ in the name of Jesus Christ let him go! And I let out a loud ugly scream and I started crying and first thing I did was forgive after that. The Holy Spirit came over me a month later after three days of fasting. So you come here with legalism and try to say we call ourselves something we’re not? Man if you only knew how hard it was for me to believe in God. I usted to be like an atheist. Its only been months for me as new believer in Christ and people like you who think they know everything have but a clue. Don’t ruin it for others plz God bless you
Caleb Steele I also listen to the podcast .. I look forward to hearing new content every week from tbp and learning more about gods word .. Tim and Jon break it down so easily for the listener
Ann Micheals, I’m 23 years old with my heart set on serving the Lord where ever needed and as of now he’s telling me to go into the Air Force and further my education. I find myself constantly listening to these two men who I found by accident scrolling through videos on the creation story. It sparked a memory I had of how I was told by one of my religion teachers in college that in the Greek translation of the book of Geniuses, it’s says “The earth BECAME without form.” Well anyways their video on the Holy Spirit came up and for some reason or another it just clicked. I haven’t been able to get enough.
yes love❤🌹💖.God is Good , God is Great🙌✨☯🕉. There is salvation for all those who accept christ consciousness as their saviour, the father of the son, the mother of the son and the son itself☯. AMEN❤
I find it amazing how well God can use metaphors, symbolism, and allegories to get his message across to people. It's like I say, God has the soul of an artist. -I know I copied my own message, sue me. I'm just trying to make a point.
Like any religious text, the bible conveys deeply rooted truths about the human condition in the form of myth. The people who wrote these stories some 2000 years ago were more or less the same as us today, so all of these symbols - symbols that are ingrained in our psyche - speak to us just like they did to millions of people throughout the centuries. You will find the use of symbols in any great work of art - just look at our vast canon of literature, poetry and music. So many great works that speak to us in a very deep way. All of these things are, afterall, very human attempts at trying to figure out life, dealing with love, fate and death and seeking redemption, in this case in a celestial acceptance of suffering as the precondition of renewal.
My maternal grandmother was into gardening and we used to go through her books together. She left them to me when she died. I used to be very ignorant about how to take care of a plant and keep it alive. I don’t like when beautiful flowers die. It makes me sad. Now I have a growing garden of trees, flowering plants and fruit. When I love a design, I study everything about it and choose the best seeds to plant. It needs to be perfect. I don’t want to kill it by mistake. I love those large trees full of branches. They take my breath away. It is a privilege to look at them at all times. Nature is perfect already. I am just an admirer of its beauty 🌺🌸.
In the opening pages of the Bible, humanity is portrayed as God's royal partner, his divine image. God orders a sacred space where heaven and earth are one, and then makes eternal life available to humans by means of a tree. While many throughout history have imagined this as a magical tree that imparts eternal life, the biblical story paints a bigger picture. Sacred trees that offer divine life were a major theme in religious art of ancient Egypt and Babylon. But in the Garden of Eden, the tree is located at the central hot-spot of sacred space, the "holy of holies" of this heaven and earth place (see Gen 2:9). The fact that the tree of life is in the middle of sacred space means that the life it offers is not inherent to the tree, but a divine gift that comes through the tree. The tree of life imparts God's own life, and to be near it and eat from it is to be near to God and to ingest his own life power and presence. Or, in the words of Genesis 3:22 "to take and eat and live forever." But sadly, humanity is exiled from this tree because of a foolish quest for divine wisdom, and so they find themselves outside the garden in a realm of mortality and grief, longing to return. In the family of Abraham, this divine human meeting place was recovered in Israel's tabernacle and temple. These structures housed holy places, the hot-spot of God's presence where a new humanity met with God in a heaven and earth space (see Exodus 25:22). These rooms were designed with a tree-like lampstand (see Exodus 25:31-40) and with trees all around (see 1 Kings 6:29). It was a renewed Eden, but sadly the family of Abraham replays the Eden story, as they try to recreate their own version of the tree of life. Think of the many 'high places' where Israel worships other gods at the foot sacred trees (see Deut 12:2; 1 Kings 14:23; 2 Kings 16:4). Eventually, God allows these sacred spaces to be destroyed and lets the Israelites be exiled from their sacred home (see 2 Kings 24-25). This entire story is the context for understanding the arrival of Jesus and his message about the coming of God's kingdom on earth as in heaven. He said that God's heavenly presence was arriving on earth through him and his mission. And he often likened this to a huge tree, growing and spreading in surprising ways (Matthew 13:31-32). Jesus even claimed to be a tree of life, a vine that offers God's life to the world (see John 15). But in a sad inversion, the leaders of Abraham's family kill Jesus on what they think is a tree of death. But because of God's love, which is stronger than humanity's evil, God transformed the cross into a tree of life. Whoever eats from this new tree of life, that is, whoever trusts Jesus and follows him (see John 6:41-58), will discover the gift of God's eternal life. This is why the story of the Bible concludes with a renewed creation, a garden-city with a new tree of life at its center (Revelation 22:1-2), which is also the throne of God and the risen Jesus (Revelation 21:22). The whole story of the Bible can be told as a story about trees: from the tree of life to the tree of death, which becomes a new tree of life that sprouts into a new creation.

This is the single most beautiful and intriguing video I've ever seen. From an artistic level, a scriptural level, a spiritual level, it's so cool. Well done, Bible Project team! I think this is your best video so far! 👏👏
I’m surprised at the end how The Tree at the book of revelation made sense. Praise God for helping us see the glory of Christ in every page guys ^_^ God bless your works
I could watch this everyday, and it would draw me that much closer in belief! We need imagery as humans. And so I thank you for your creativity, your leaf! God bless you
I want to turn more into Jesus and just by watching this video, I am already more interested. This video is very understandable and organize which I am very grateful for, also the art is beautiful
Once again the GREAT GOD has proven me wrong!! He showed me that HE doesn't need great strong men, nor highly intelligent people to get HIS Message perfect!!!! PRAISE, GLORY, STRENGTH, POWER and MAJESTY BELONGETH UNTO HIM that sitteth upon the Throne!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙇♂️🙏❤🙏❤
Y Thank you Jesus great God almighty you are right I know I love 💕 your help and favor and your favor thank you Jesus 🙏❤️ it is good to see your word Way of Mercy really need you paid the price for me thank you Jesus 🙏❤️💔🙏🙏 on
Greatly in Awe of this Inspiration. Truly an invitation into a Life in Christ, one has to die to SELF. I abide in Christ, I am pruned daily and I produce much fruits
I have watched this video so many times, and it breaks my heart ❤ 🥲 every time! In a good way... thank you Jesus, for you glorious life and death and gift and light 🙌🙌🙌 thank you to the BibleProject, absolutely beautiful!!
Praise and glory belong to our LORD because He has bestowed upon you guys such an incredibly marvelous ability to produce & teaching wonderfully.🙏 This is the best and simplest form of understanding so much taught throughout Scripture. You are such a blessing to countless, may your gratitude for such amazing gifts only produce even better fruit to share effortlessly and world wide. Thank you for your dedication to our Lord and the ministry ❤
This is a whole revelatory Word you guys have put into a video! I mean my goodness!! The explanation of Jesus being the Tree of Life with correlation with the cross and Him being the Seed and when He goes down to hell and takes the keys and can’t stay dead because He IS the Tree of Life. (Run-on sentence but....) Amazing!!! I’m truly impacted and encouraged by this video!!
this video-- every second, every detail, every word, is beyond amazing. May God in Heaven continue to use this channel and the spiritual siblings who run it!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For this beautiful message. I love it! I was trying to find a way to explain this to my husband, but I wasn’t getting g through for some reason. Then, the Holy Spirit led me here and now I can share this with him. Again, thank you!! God bless your ministries. ❤️🙏
Such an eye-opening perspective! I always associated the eating of the flesh with communion but never made the connection to the tree of life. Just beautiful!
Very interesting, It is written: “But Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.” John 12:23-26 NKJV
jesus is the “Son of Man”, Here’s the Problem Numbers 23:19 YaH is NOT a “Man” YaH is NOT the “Son of Man” Proves, jesus the “Son of Man”, is NOT YaH OR YaH’s “son” as YaH is NOT a “Man” OR the “Son of Man” Here is the Original Semitic Text, in Moshe (Moses) own handwriting YaH The Heavenly FATHER was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Beautiful and simple, at the same time very metaphorical and complex to understand from the Earth view, Jesus was what he said and it forever in his throne, this Earth and below the Earth, the King of Kings the Lord of Lords! Jesus.

I was wondering if you have a video covering the fact that the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was in the middle of the garden (according to Eve). Yet, both the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and the Tree of Life were both described as being in the *midst* of the garden. I referenced both NASB2020 and ESV. I loved your video comparing the tree of life with the holy of holies, yet, I thought it wasn't the tree of life at the center of the garden...
@@siblingstation6902 Hi! Respectfully, it doesn't matter if it is in the midst or in the center. What is really important is what they represent. What is the message the author is trying to tell us? Wisdom... Life... God is both and we lost access because of our poor choices. We must seek GOD'S Wisdom (lean not on your own understanding) and we lost access to LIFE, one of the reasons Jesus had to come. He came so that we have life, something we don't deserve. He paid our debt in full.
You can view the reference to the trees in the Genesis videos. God Bless!
How come you didn't mention that the Fruit of the Tree of Life (who is Jesus Christ Himself) is now offered to people as the Bread and Wine in the Holy Communion:
"While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you."
Jesus didn't say this is "like" my body, He didn't say the parable or a metaphor, He literally said: this IS my body. And as Jesus is the Fruit from the Tree of Life, so is His body and blood in the Holy Comunion. The fact that people call themselves Christians, and reject the Fruit of Life is mind boggling.
This was really good.
I always interpreted it as a choice.
Think “academia” or “life”
Both provide knowledge. Just in different forms. It’s your choice but like in the Bible, filling your head with abstract concepts instead of experiencing them is a “dead-end”.
Take learning when it comes because it always does.
God is Good. Period. What He says goes.
“Knowledge of good and evil” is determined by God alone, hence when people try to determine for themselves based on their “knowledge”, they wander the desert.
Jesus is God on Earth, with all the limitations inherent there in. Empathy.
He surrounds Himself with Apostles for a reason. He is the ultimate Judge of Good and Evil.
That’s why he asked, “Why do you say I’m good?” It is not for anyone else to Judge. Only GOD
“To defeat death, Jesus went through it” 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
death and prince charming both ride a white horse....... a dead man walking among you is only forgoten once, go forth walk!
Jesus really said "it's just a small sickness, just let it run it's course through me and it'll be fine"
IKR!! I❤️🔥this! Jesus Is King!❤️🔥🔥
I've been saying that death is like a door just go through the door duh and on the other side is u, for humans to auctually loose there ground of being is to change some nature, the reason humans belief they have Beginnings via God is because God made agreements with nature to change the nature of humans & that's because God desires to live with humans to be there teacher for intellectual purposes, obviously God had to be nature or nature would assign God his nature in a sense difference is nature is more than personhood or entity essentially
of course, death worked for Jesus at the time-- so it was more of a scripted show.
The tree of life was animated so beautifully 😭🥺🙏
indeed
its wrong

@@KamiTenchi You must be a Mormon. Sad .
@@KamiTenchi Angels are not gods there is only one God.Why do you think angels always tell people not to worship them they are servants of God just like us.
GLaude Vodensy There are other powerful spiritual beings that exist, not just angles but other creatures as well. At times they are referred to as gods (elohim) in the Bible. However the Bible makes it very clear that Yehwah is the One true God who created all things (including all other spiritual beings) and that He alone is deserving of all worship and reverence)
It’s true that the angles serve God and direct people to worship Him but the fallen spiritual beings all want nothing more than to be worshiped by humans and sadly many humans do worship them by the way they live.
These are the powers of darkness, rulers and principalities that Paul informs believers are the true enemy of the church and not people (flesh and blood).
Would be interested to hear your thoughts on this.
That was gorgeous. Some of the most beautiful art I've ever seen. The hand of God is upon you guys.
I know right! this is the art style I want!!!!

It's amazing how constant themes run throughout the Bible considering that it was written over a period of 1000 years by ~40 different authors. One could even call it divine.
I mean...people have been sharing stories for MILLIONS of years,and most of them have been told only by mouth due to ether not having of invented a form of writing or it simply being part of their culture.
I am reading through with my small children, and the recurring themes of Jesus and rescue and life are so clear. Thanks, Bible Project!
Reasoned Answers apologetics videos One could. One could indeed.
Demonic Queen the earth is only ~6,000 years old tho 🤷🏼
@@JT5555 Millions of years? Nope. Even if you go by what Evolutionary "Science" says, humans are only supposedly 200 000 years old.
Secondly, those word of mouth fables kept getting details added to them or removed from them and eventually the story starts to resemble a whole new story. The Bible is proof that it's the divine living Word because it is a collection of books written by different people over a I think 1500 years and the message throughout is the same.
There is no other book like it. None.
"Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in them." - John 6:56
Yes, as orthodox Christians, and if you read what the early Christians believed, this really means the bread and wine actually becoming the very flesh and blood of Jesus Christ, they never believed it symbolises it, they always believed it really was his flesh and blood
Harry Georgiou transubstantiation didn’t start until over 1 thousand years after Christ’s death. What do you mean early Christians? Romanism is like a cancer with all the love in the world of course.
Luka Iremadze Hebrews 9:12 once for all time (ephapax) not for all people but ONCE (temporal). Hebrews 10:3 a “reminder” (anamnesis) only other place besides the book of Hebrews that it’s used coincidentally is during communion when Jesus says do this in (anamnesis) in remembrance. So when the early Christians were doing “communion” is was as a symbol a (anamnesis) not the literal body and blood of Christ. Again Romanism is a cancer with love I say these things.
@@nazarethgarcia1541 I take my previous comment. this is a bigger topic than I can argue.
But basically what your saying is all the early Christians had it wrong and if it was not for Luther, Christianity lived in deciet.
With the best of my knowledge I'll try to address your citations.
Yes Christ offered his body as sacrifice once and for all. When we commune we are not sacrificing Christ again, so none of those verses contradict the Eucharist...
Rather we become partakers of His already sacrificed body and blood as gift for us.
You are what you eat.
Eat Christ and become Christ in grace.
Luka Iremadze first let me ask you this, are you a Roman Catholic ?
This is helping me to learn English and about Jesus, tysm
Everything I know. Knowledge, intelligence, witty, wisdom, morality, I asked the LORD in prayer because Solomon (son of David) asked GOD in prayer if HE could grant him HIS Wisdom to rule over GOD's people so I prayed too and (all praise unto the LORD!!) the LORD also granted me HIS Wisdom and I got it!!

I'm a native born U.S.A. language student. Even though I'm fluent for two decades in Spanish, I'm still just a student because it isn't my native language.

"Not only do you eat from the tree, but you are invited to become a part of it.”

As a young Christian...this without a doubt one of the greatest videos I have ever watched. Thank you for explaining everything I was confused about before. I feel closer to God than ever now.
Except it's non-biblical, so you're closer to the Deceiver.
How so?
@@nicholaslobban8346 Trust me, it's not honest or Biblically accurate. I have a comment in here breaking down some of the nonsense in this video.
I find this too often with Biblical Literalists wanting to add aspects of the New Testament into the Old Testament when they're not there. Connections can certainly be made, but this video is making up "facts" to force a connection.
@@names_are_useless I've seen your breakdown of it and I can understand where you're coming from. I made the comment about 2 years ago so I wanted some clarification as to why someone said it was unbiblical. I think Bible Project probably made some errors but I don't think it was their intent to force a narrative
@@nicholaslobban8346 regardless of intent, they are. If The Bible is the true Word of God, it should not be deciphered with false narratives. How would you feel if scientists just changed some numbers and formulas to meet their original hypothesis?
Playing the interpretation game, when the original authors are no longer around, is very dangerous and I see it happening all the time in Christian Churches constantly. It's even worse when Preachers will tell you "God spoke to them" because I don't know whether I can trust if that's true or if it's just confirmation bias on their part.
Bottom line: read The Bible for yourself in as many translations as you can. And please don't read just 1: context can change between translations. You'd also be surprised how many Preachers will get hung up on a single translation because they didn't look up the original Hebrew and Greek.
I'm a reborn Christian, 66 years old, and besides that, a scientist familiar with physics, chemistry, and cosmology. I must once again praise you! This is much better than quarrels of elitist theologians also here on UA-cam, in which the Holy Spirit or Christ in us comes far too short! But you (mainly) young people: please read the relevant Bible passages yourself and make your own thoughts, just like the Bilbleproject team recommends it. God bless you. Greetings from Germany.

So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life (Genesis 3:24).
Not even Jesus Christ can get to that tree.
New Jerusalem No my sister, Yeshua can! Please Read Psalm 24! The King of Glory can ascend the mountain of the Lord! - and all those with clean hearts and pure hands (ie those that have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb - who is also the King of Hosts here!).

So beautifully explained, even kids will understand this clip. God bless you !
Based on the bible, Adam and Eve were barred from the tree of life and then we see it in Revelation 22:1,2 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. The Garden of Eden seems to be no longer on earth, but taken up by God to heaven until the great controversy is over. Genesis 3:23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
Genesis 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. What are your thoughts on this?

In the midst of the ever-growing darkness in this age, I have been experiencing greater intimacy with the Holy Spirit. His presence is so incredible! I believe there is a revival happening, a multitude of transformed hearts, opened eyes and refocused lives. Now more than ever, it is our duty and honor to rise up with boldness and love in the name of Jesus for His glory and for the salvation of souls!
One week ago, God put this scripture in my heart:
James 1:21 NKJV
21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
I know that its no coincidence that God led me to this scripture, and now this video is released illustrating this beautifully. The Holy Spirit is at work, and the return of Jesus is ever closer! Hallelujah!
It's the times brother. The ekklessia of the last days is being prepared. All the true believers that are faithful no matter the denomination will join together, out of sheer necessity.
We are finally gonna be called out of the exile, out of the harlot Babylon, like it was with Moses and Ezra. The true congregation is about to be revived. Lets pray, fast, read the word and wait for the days to come.
Romans 10:9: "that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
Romans 14:11: "It is written: “As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before Me; every tongue will confess to God.”
1 Corinthians 15:28: "And when ALL things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put ALL THINGS under Him, so that God may be ALL IN ALL."
These people with all their beautiful imagery are hiding two important things:
1.The salvation of all and -
2.The fact that revelation deals NOT with symbols but a coming tribulation and an alien invasion:
excerpt from Revelation:
"And I saw three unclean spirits that looked like FROGS coming out of the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet.
These are demonic spirits that perform signs and go out to all the kings of the earth, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God, the Almighty."
We are being accustomed to demons and aliens and their potential "humanity" by hollywood for a reason. Its there in plain sight.
It's also important for us to introduce our children to Jesus. This world is attacking them 24/7!
Still can't believe what Dwyane Wade is doing to his son.
We have revival all the time when we learn lessons in our life, we don’t have to wait for a church to have a revival.
The concept of a little goes a long way is constantly utilized in these videos. Each video is very short with so little time to give any reasonable amount of information and yet each video gives a tremendous amount of truth in spite of. This is a brilliant way to always leave the viewer craving more truth once each video ends. Its a Wonderful way to captivate the mind of believers and nonbelievers alike. I really enjoy these videos. If your reading this post please take time today and prostrate yourself in a closed room before a Holy God because HE alone is worthy of it!!
Well Written. Gonna take some time to pray today because of this comment🙏🏽
Amen brother I couldn't agree more with your statement
AMEN. I SHALL!!! 🙏
For those craving more, the podcast has hours of discussion that the video is birthed from.
In Jesus, there is hope, life, truth, and way to be near closer to God than we could ever imagine and instead of our own understanding and strength. Throughout the stories in the bible when there is chaos, Jesus came in life and showed us the unconditional love God gives to us for free and Jesus became our friend, Lord and Savior when we accept Him that whoever believes in Him shall not perished but have eternal life. May God bless us all!! this is truly a heartwarming video thank you for making this 💗

I’m a teenage girl, under the beliefs of Hebrew Israelites and I never been so fascinated about the Bible in all my life. Yes! I do bible readings with my family but in the end I just never cared and wanted to do my own thing in the end. Yet ofc, I’m an artist, anything that involves art always catches my attention so this? Is win for me. I did have the dream long ago to make a TV series of the Bible in the most coolest and metaphoric way possible and that dream died long ago, but you reminded me how cool it really can be! I would like to continue that dream once again and this time I won’t give up. (Mainly am doing this for myself and everyone I care about, to make them proud ^^”)
How has the dream progressed so far? I hope its gone well.
Keep reading the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation. Every day. You'll be blessed.
Please reconsider the purpose for doing it. Instead of seeking the approval of your love ones, do it because YOU love them so much you do not want them to spend eternity in heaven but instead you want them to spend eternity in the presence of our LORD and to be in heaven with you. I'm doing so, I have no doubt our Lord will bless your endeavors endlessly.
Looking forward of hearing of your works in the future
Seeing this 2 years later. I hope all is well. And if it's not? I want you to know that God is still with you. He still loves you so so much ❤. Whatever is going on right now, because of Jesus, you can talk to God right now and he will comfort you. Stay strong Christian friend ❤
the phrase for 'christian with beliefs of israelites' is messianic Jew, although it is controversial, because secular Jews say messianic Judaism is just Christianity, and Christians say messianic Judaism is just Judaism
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” -Jeremiah 17:7-8.
Its funny how it also relates to the story of Jesus in the fig tree. Where he cursed the treee for not bearing fruits even though its not fruit bearing season yet
Gj Lipana it’s referring to the PALM tree...
@@gjlipana881 pretty sure that was metaphor for people who "bear no fruit" for others like people who do not love their neighbor's as their selves
this is wrong
+Change Tech: Explain in details how it is wrong...
This channel is so important it's actually disruptive.
It brings the scriptures to the 21st century by making it way more accessable and understandable while keeping the core messages.
This is how best to study the Bible on your first run through it.
People before us became saints over stuff like this.
Umm...the blessed saints and early church fathers have already written the whole concept is their writings. However as you said, this channel is very important.
its wrong
Through evolution of our culture, our definition and understanding of a language changes. This is perhaps why the pharisees misunderstood Jesus intention. Jesus saw that need to tell stories through parables so the generation could get a new fresh perspective on the essence of what God tried to tell them in the first place.
Generations has passed since then and history repeats itself, and it makes me happy to see the bible project telling the stories of the bible in visual parables so our current generation can get a new fresh perspective on the essence of what God tried to tell us in the first place. This is why the bible project is disruptive, and why it is so important.
Yes, biblical scripture that is energized! So many people have been force-fed lifeless, uninspiring doctrines that have driven them away from the Bible. This video is the opposite. Like an onion that is peeled, this goes past the surface layers, to the core. Awesome--they nailed it!
Alexander Gyr not sure Yeshua told in parables to bring new perspectives! - see below! Yes maybe others will benefit from the animation & clarity but therein lies the risk of the Enemy! Always refer to Scripture because with much blessings the Enemy attacks - 10 years ago Power point presentations & smoke machines and bands dominated access to God! - and yet sin even worsened! Yes we pray that they and others like them may stay true to their true calling which is the inheritance of eternal life with Yeshua more mind blowing than this minuscule illustration!!! No eye had seen! No mind imagined what awaits us my brother!
“And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.”
Matthew 13:10-11 NKJV
thank you team BibleProject, words are not sufficient to honour your valiant efforts, which are all empowered by God
I just want to say the work you guys are doing is wonderful. Discovering/watching your videos has felt like God speaking to me directly about things in the Bible I’ve wanted to understand deeper.
This really moved me. I just saw everything in a whole new light and I’m just in awe. Thank you for making this.

Yes, instead of dead doctrine, this video brings the essence of biblical scripture to life!
Well done Bobbie

“Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so also whoever eats me, the same shall live because of me.”
(John 6:57-58)
@nobodyimpt What are you saying? You think Jesus meant to literally eat his actual flesh and drink his blood? You must be confused.
We eat the bread and drink of the cup, in remembrance. If you wanted to cannibalize Jesus, I would believe that you are eating of the wrong tree.
@nobodyimpt Eating from Him meant abandoning our own thinking and follow His deeds.
"This is my body,... This is my blood given and shed for you." - Jesus
@@voidremoved You mean “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” and Jesus respond to you “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you. 54Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.". Christians believed that for 1600 years (even Luther and Calvin) because is so clear.

I am so grateful for Bible Project! Love from California.
I'm a kid and I started watching you for homework you make such beautiful videos good and beautiful ones as well!! may God bless you!!!!!!!
Its beautiful how so many of these Bible themes overlap each other, like the temple and tree of life
Nah it's magical
I like love if it feels right it’s not magical , IT IS The Power of God
Right like when Moses struck the rock...Jesus was that rock..and he is a rock for us meaning strong foundation..like so many themes in the bible line up and with other themes..idk if that made since..lol
Yes, the intricate web of overlapping themes and meanings is what continues to amaze us--we can continue to find more wisdom and meaning!
Revelation 22
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.
The throne of god is the SAUDI ARABIAN ROYAL FAMILY... the lamb is the ISLAMIC STATE... the tree of life is the PALM TREE! 🌴

No, not whatever they say. That’s pure heresy. While I understand the sentiment of not wanting to start an argument, they have been deceived and, evidently, have become a false teacher.
@@littlefishbigmountain Thank you for saying what I was thinking!!
This is absolutely incredible! I was reading Genesis 3:22-24 this morning, and God showed me the revelation of this! This is the story I wrote from it:
How the Tree of Life is as the Galaxies of the Heavens!
For Adam and Eve to have been forgiven, they only had to return to the flaming sword, bow down in repentance and ask for forgiveness, to then follow God's Will only, for them to eat of the fruit of the tree of life, as we as have the knowledge of good and evil... how shame consumed them! All Praise to Jesus, for being our sacrifice and key of His Sovereign Word (Sword) to enter back into the garden and to have Eternal Life! As God's children we have both of these trees indwelling, have Righteous Wisdom and Discernment, as well as Eternal Life with Jesus. Halleluiah! Praise the Lord!
mind blowing representation of the narrative of the bible, so many messages in here.
im Flabbergasted what God is able to do through you guys
We need you more than ever in troubling times my lord my God.
Amen. This is really a great way of putting the Story of the Redemption of man. Obedience has everything to do with it too. Even in these latter/last days, God requires obedience from us, despite grace, love and mercy, He still requires obedience from us, to His rules and laws.
So blessed, thank you Lord for Your mercy and love, that never give up with us, You reach & find us, and You give us a responsible to do what You do, shining for Your Glory
Choose this day whom you will serve
As for me and my house
We will serve You Lord
Lifting holy hands in worship
We will not bow down to the gods of men
We will worship the God of Israel
[Extract from the song "You are Holy" by Joshua Aaron]
I serve no one.
@Demonic Queen obviously you believe in demons since that’s what you call yourself. It don’t make sense you would call yourself demonic Queen if you don’t believe in the
Creator
For many are deceived by their own vain opinion; and an evil suspicion hath overthrown their judgment.
Ecclesiasticus 3:24

@@TheMrMKultra His sheep know His voice.
Christians automatically recognize a Bible verse or phrase when they hear it. It's like when Jesus preached. Almost every phrase He said can be traced down to at least one or two verses in the OT, and Christians who know their Bible get the references.
Don't worry, I also share your passion for the Word of God just like you. God bless you bro!
beautiful and breathtaking, God bless your service.
Thank you, Bible Project, you’ve been an answer to prayer. I don’t think I’ve ever anticipated a video more than this one; because I ’ve been following the podcast on the trees, design patterns, and poetry, which inspired me to write this poem to crystalize what I’m trying to learn from God’s Word.

_After Eden_
There is a tree in the garden.
Beautiful of sight.
The sky begins to darken
Lost in the light.
So a choice was given,
And a choice was taken.
A bitter truth to reckon,
A ruins God-forsaken.
The Tree of Life is hewn.
The stench of death is burning.
The seed of sin blooms.
The hand of time is turning.
There is a tree in the garden.
A cherub bars the way.
Lock the cell, the warden
Threw the key away.
An angelic deathwatch
Its two-edged sword aflame.
Where is the night watch?
For innocence is slain.
Elysium has fallen,
And Paradise is lost.
Our freedom was stolen,
And life was the cost.
There is a lamb on the altar
And a beast in the field
If its prey shall falter
Sin will have its fill
two brothers enter the field
Yet only one returned
So blood has been spilled
An offering is unburned.
There is an ark on the waters.
Let the old world drown.
Only Noah’s sons and daughters
Shall be spared the sound
Of the thunder of God
With the storm and flood.
To end man, so flawed,
For water mingles with blood,
The Ark sits upon the mount.
The war bow is laid down.
Promise springs from the fount,
And mercy shall abound.
A new home takes root,
So rejoice and rest.
Let vineyards bare fruit
For begins another test.
There is no lamb on the altar
The son shall take its place
Resolve must not falter
Yet the father hides his face
He trembles at the thought
His knife glistens in the sun
Undo what has been wrought
And take the life of your son.
There’s a tree alight the summit
The angel bright within
The air grows grave and quiet
A fiery apparition
Oh, exiled Prince
“I have heard their cries
My power evince
My people baptize.
Moses, take thy staff.
Wonders I will show,
Until Pharaoh shall at last
Let my people go.”
There is a cloud aflame the peak
A pillar of smoke enthroned.
Shema, Jehova speaks,
“Israel shall be my own
This covenant shall bind
Inscribe it in stone,
Brand your soul and mind.
I Am your God alone.”
A false god invades the camp.
People hearts are turned
Dark swallows the lamp
The Lord’s anger burns
The priest took the gold
Made idols on their behalf
Whorring, their bodies sold
And forged the golden calf
“Unsheath not the sword.
My God, stay thy wrath.
Blot out my name, Oh Lord.”
“Moshe, take thy staff.
Let their sin turn to venom,
And fire fill their veins.
This is the day to reckon
And earth be split in twain
Yeshua, take the staff.
See the flower bloom.
Split the sea in half,
And lead my people through.
There is a thief in the midst.
Who hath taken the profane.
Tell me who thou didst,
Whose conscious hath wane?
“It was I who saw the gold
And coveted the spoils
For temptation took hold
Entangled me in its coil.”
There is a king amongst the crowd
Desired above all
A man strong and proud
Anoint the one called Saul
The lot is cast
Jericho is falling
As a ghost from the past
The shadows crawling
Whispering in his ear
They desire thy throne
So love turns to fear
The King dies alone.
There is a woman in the garden
Beautiful of sight
Tenderly, her fruit glistens
The King desires her tonight
Its sweet flesh turns pale
A poison apple to bite
So death peers through the veil
A sin covered by night
There are two lovers in the garden
Where passion and wisdom meet
The last remnant of Heaven
Of the tree, did they eat
For man and life
The Mother of All
Folly and strife
After Eden, The Fall
There is an altar upon the hill.
A tree of crimson thorns
By His blood, we are healed
For this, He was born
The Father hides His face
The veil is torn
This is the price of grace
The son forlorn
His throne is the grave.
His glory is living.
So Emmanuel saves
For those believing.
There is a tree in the garden.
It stands in your way.
Bearing your guilt and pardon.
Choose: rebel or obey.
You’re at the crossroad
A moment eternal
Let truth unfold
Rebirth or Inferno
The tree is in your life.
Will you kneel before the Cross?
This final sacrifice
Give Him your shame and loss.
Awake to the new Heaven and Earth
See the river beside the tree.
Witness redemption’s rebirth,
And taste the fruit of eternity.
This is moving stuff brother. Thanks for sharing
@@liberty8453 Thank you for the kind words, brother.
Beautiful!
I really love your idea of talking about one concept throughout the Bible, it makes everything make more sense. I love your channel!
Beautiful video. This is an incredibly insightful and original perspective of our salvation thru our lord and Savior Jesus Christ 😇❤️
The imagery of the idol as a tree, by showing the hand "partaking of it", was brillant! One of the best videos I've seen. Keep up the great work!
Even as a Jewish person, and not even religious, I truly appreciate the story of the Bible.
Whether it is a metaphor or actual stories, they truly are beautiful and there is so much to learn from them.
I'm proud to belong to the people who wrote those stories.
Have a great day everyone! :D
Genesis is a metaphor.
The entire old testament points to Jesus. There is so much prophecy and typology, it's amazing.
Jesus is the fulfillment, He is the Alpha and the Omega, the King of kings and Lord of lords. He is the only way to the Father. Who do you believe He is?
I'm a gentile and I believe in Jesus Christ. Jesus was Jewish, and Jews are Gods people so I'm only happy to see a Jewish person in the comments of a video such as this one. I don't wish to bother you, I just want to tell you that there is a thing called Messianic Judaism, which is a great thing IMO because you as Jewish don't need to be a part of any Christian church in order to follow Jesus Christ - since you're Jewish, if you ever wish so you can join other Jewish people and follow Jesus, have a nice day.
@@petrabanjarnahor229 which parts?
That is correct. And whether the Bible is a metaphor or a factual representation of material events is irrelevant. In both cases Jesus is right about everything and that is what makes Him God, whether the jews like it or not. Judaism is the continuation of the traditions of men as opposed to the rule of God and it is those traditions of men that are marching this world to destruction. It is because Maimonides explains the Bible as mere allegory that the jews afford themselves the authority to weave reality into whatever narrative they like. If you believe that judaism is benign and harmless then you are mistaken; judaism is satanism in its purest form. This is not an indictment of you as a person but an appeal to your soul as a human being. It is that appeal that God wants us to make upon each other and it is through the human form of Jesus that God revealed Himself to us so that we could understand what the image of God in human form is like. You truly will become born again when you realize how important Jesus is in the history of mankind and its fate. When you understand His importance, you will understand what is going on in the world.
AMEN HALLELUJAH GOD IS GOOD HALLELUJAH PRAISE AND GLORY TO LORD ALMIGHTY FOREVER AND EVER ❤
I mean, beautiful! The imagery of the tree on the hill being chopped and killed in the shape of the cross, the bright and warm oranges visualizing holiness, contrasting heavily with the dark and cold purples that showed our evils.
This is an amazingly made video, and I’m glad that you guys have been given from God to teach us about His Word in such well to understand, and welcoming ways, not withstanding the original texts, the original actions, or words, or trying to dumb it down in such a way that were being treated like we don’t know grass from plastic.
I truly thank God for you guys. Goodnight, and God bless you
I was reading about the tree of life in revelation today 👍
I was too a couple days ago. Note, it’s the first promise of Jesus to the seven churches. That he will grant us to eat from it.
Thank you both so much for pointing that out!!! My pastor just went over the first 3 chapters of Revelation with me and somehow I completely looked over that!
Love is the fulfillment of the law.
It’s by grace and faith that I will eat of it one day. I’m a Christian because God had mercy on my life.
God spoke to me on a Sunday evening saying “I am” four days later I was invited to a prayer meeting and a brother in Christ laid his hand on me and I fell to the ground shaking and twitching on the floor. He said “ in the name of Jesus Christ let him go! And I let out a loud ugly scream and I started crying and first thing I did was forgive after that. The Holy Spirit came over me a month later after three days of fasting. So you come here with legalism and try to say we call ourselves something we’re not? Man if you only knew how hard it was for me to believe in God. I usted to be like an atheist. Its only been months for me as new believer in Christ and people like you who think they know everything have but a clue. Don’t ruin it for others plz
God bless you
Just how consistent the Bible is! It is just indescribable in the sense that no words can even describe how amazing the Word of God is!
Wow , it's like my eyes got a sight of heaven, beautiful art work ✝️ Godbless
It's feel like I'm eating the fruit from the tree of life when i watching this video. It's transform me!
I love this because it teaches us what is good and bad and you can also look up people in here like Luke
Beautiful how the cross illuminated in the Tree of Life at the end!
I cannot wait!! I'm following your podcast and have found great comfort in these themes.
Caleb Steele I also listen to the podcast .. I look forward to hearing new content every week from tbp and learning more about gods word .. Tim and Jon break it down so easily for the listener
Ann Micheals, I’m 23 years old with my heart set on serving the Lord where ever needed and as of now he’s telling me to go into the Air Force and further my education. I find myself constantly listening to these two men who I found by accident scrolling through videos on the creation story. It sparked a memory I had of how I was told by one of my religion teachers in college that in the Greek translation of the book of Geniuses, it’s says “The earth BECAME without form.” Well anyways their video on the Holy Spirit came up and for some reason or another it just clicked. I haven’t been able to get enough.
yes love❤🌹💖.God is Good , God is Great🙌✨☯🕉. There is salvation for all those who accept christ consciousness as their saviour, the father of the son, the mother of the son and the son itself☯. AMEN❤
I find it amazing how well God can use metaphors, symbolism, and allegories to get his message across to people. It's like I say, God has the soul of an artist.
-I know I copied my own message, sue me. I'm just trying to make a point.
Like any religious text, the bible conveys deeply rooted truths about the human condition in the form of myth. The people who wrote these stories some 2000 years ago were more or less the same as us today, so all of these symbols - symbols that are ingrained in our psyche - speak to us just like they did to millions of people throughout the centuries. You will find the use of symbols in any great work of art - just look at our vast canon of literature, poetry and music. So many great works that speak to us in a very deep way. All of these things are, afterall, very human attempts at trying to figure out life, dealing with love, fate and death and seeking redemption, in this case in a celestial acceptance of suffering as the precondition of renewal.
Special Universe you are condescending without understanding that full verbal plenary inspiration is an essential characteristic of the Word of God.
Awesome .Yes i often think that way too🎊🎈💝
He is the greatest artist who's ever existed.
If he wasn't good at it, he wouldn't be God. 😊
“"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!"”
Luke 2:14 ESV god bless this channel!
My maternal grandmother was into gardening and we used to go through her books together. She left them to me when she died. I used to be very ignorant about how to take care of a plant and keep it alive. I don’t like when beautiful flowers die. It makes me sad. Now I have a growing garden of trees, flowering plants and fruit. When I love a design, I study everything about it and choose the best seeds to plant. It needs to be perfect. I don’t want to kill it by mistake. I love those large trees full of branches. They take my breath away. It is a privilege to look at them at all times. Nature is perfect already. I am just an admirer of its beauty 🌺🌸.
In the opening pages of the Bible, humanity is portrayed as God's royal partner, his divine image. God orders a sacred space where heaven and earth are one, and then makes eternal life available to humans by means of a tree. While many throughout history have imagined this as a magical tree that imparts eternal life, the biblical story paints a bigger picture. Sacred trees that offer divine life were a major theme in religious art of ancient Egypt and Babylon. But in the Garden of Eden, the tree is located at the central hot-spot of sacred space, the "holy of holies" of this heaven and earth place (see Gen 2:9). The fact that the tree of life is in the middle of sacred space means that the life it offers is not inherent to the tree, but a divine gift that comes through the tree. The tree of life imparts God's own life, and to be near it and eat from it is to be near to God and to ingest his own life power and presence. Or, in the words of Genesis 3:22 "to take and eat and live forever." But sadly, humanity is exiled from this tree because of a foolish quest for divine wisdom, and so they find themselves outside the garden in a realm of mortality and grief, longing to return. In the family of Abraham, this divine human meeting place was recovered in Israel's tabernacle and temple. These structures housed holy places, the hot-spot of God's presence where a new humanity met with God in a heaven and earth space (see Exodus 25:22). These rooms were designed with a tree-like lampstand (see Exodus 25:31-40) and with trees all around (see 1 Kings 6:29). It was a renewed Eden, but sadly the family of Abraham replays the Eden story, as they try to recreate their own version of the tree of life. Think of the many 'high places' where Israel worships other gods at the foot sacred trees (see Deut 12:2; 1 Kings 14:23; 2 Kings 16:4). Eventually, God allows these sacred spaces to be destroyed and lets the Israelites be exiled from their sacred home (see 2 Kings 24-25). This entire story is the context for understanding the arrival of Jesus and his message about the coming of God's kingdom on earth as in heaven. He said that God's heavenly presence was arriving on earth through him and his mission. And he often likened this to a huge tree, growing and spreading in surprising ways (Matthew 13:31-32). Jesus even claimed to be a tree of life, a vine that offers God's life to the world (see John 15). But in a sad inversion, the leaders of Abraham's family kill Jesus on what they think is a tree of death. But because of God's love, which is stronger than humanity's evil, God transformed the cross into a tree of life. Whoever eats from this new tree of life, that is, whoever trusts Jesus and follows him (see John 6:41-58), will discover the gift of God's eternal life. This is why the story of the Bible concludes with a renewed creation, a garden-city with a new tree of life at its center (Revelation 22:1-2), which is also the throne of God and the risen Jesus (Revelation 21:22). The whole story of the Bible can be told as a story about trees: from the tree of life to the tree of death, which becomes a new tree of life that sprouts into a new creation.

This is a whole revelatory Word you guys have put into a video! I mean my goodness!!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For this beautiful message. I love it! I was trying to find a way to explain this to my husband, but I wasn’t getting g through for some reason. Then, the Holy Spirit led me here and now I can share this with him. Again, thank you!! God bless your ministries. ❤️🙏
Amen! God bless you
This, by far, is one of my favorite videos
Such an eye-opening perspective! I always associated the eating of the flesh with communion but never made the connection to the tree of life. Just beautiful!
Amen!!!! Having that revelation today!
Very interesting,
It is written:
“But Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.”
John 12:23-26 NKJV
Jesus is so beautiful.
woah😮
this entire thing is wrong
Change Tech what do you mean?
jesus is the “Son of Man”, Here’s the Problem
Numbers 23:19
YaH is NOT a “Man”
YaH is NOT the “Son of Man”
Proves, jesus the “Son of Man”, is NOT YaH OR YaH’s “son” as YaH is NOT a “Man” OR the “Son of Man”
Here is the Original Semitic Text, in Moshe (Moses) own handwriting
YaH The Heavenly FATHER was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Beautiful and simple, at the same time very metaphorical and complex to understand from the Earth view, Jesus was what he said and it forever in his throne, this Earth and below the Earth, the King of Kings the Lord of Lords! Jesus.
