Interesting. You are doing some big stuff here man. A lot of non Jews tend to ignore the way Jews analyze Hebrew extensively for clues. This feels likes very Jewish analysis of the Torah and I think that’s why these points are so strong.
Thank you for that incisive comment. I was helped along the way by a generous man, who had a PhD in Biblical Hebrew. I don't discount a traditional exegetical approach to interpretation, but I think it should be broader than just that. There is a deeper truth out there, and you have to use many different tools combined in discovering the truth. That's what I tried to do with the videos covering Genesis 9, 10 and 11. Thanks for watching, and God Bless you.
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 Absolutely! Too many disciplines are putting their head in their sand in denial of other disciplines validity! Too many religious folk will not account for archeology out of fear it will discount them (when in reality it supports them), and many academics refuse to even accept biblical etymology let alone context within the era! Archeologists will refuse to dig certain sites, and bias others. Cover up aspects of their discovered (the great step in the pyramid of giza a notable example). The ONLY way to accurately understand the Bible/Torah is a cross-discipline approach that takes sources in good faith, and uses cross-textual analysis to find the truth! I'm glad there are others out there with similar perspectives!
Indeed they ignore this... But then it isn't the tools of grammar and hermeneutics that lead you to truth. One needs the Holy Spirit to assist one in reading the texts. Judaists don't have access to this. They think they can resolve the issues without it and that 'being religious' or 'a good person' is sufficient to do so. That's why they always go into error. Although they can make points that are quite correct.
@@metapolitikgedanken612 The Holy Spirit is blasphemy, and has nothing to do with what Jesus preached. Stop that heathenry now. There is one god, perfectly unknowable.
@@giffica Actually, The Holy Spirit got everything to do with what Jesus preached (mind reading the Gospel texts?). If the heathens acknowledge there must be a Holy Spirit, than they are right. And God is knowable in various ways. Those that read scripture, how are they supposed to understand it, when the Holy Spirit doesn't show them the Truth first?
Thanks for watching. I hope you have a chance to watch the video on Nimrod as well. There was so much more going on than what the surface of the story seems to be. God Bless
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 Got to admit that I also wondered about why Ham's sons where mentioned, but Nimrod was mentioned separately. I thought he was a person, first, because there are also legends about such a person. Often this is however a deity or baby. So there may have been a person by that name... To my mind names like Mars, Marduk, and also words like murder, animals like marder come.
Thank you so much. It was a big learning curve in producing UA-cam videos and I've been at it for just 3 years. Thanks for the encouragement, there is so much more to say. God Bless
QUERY: If one takes the name Nimrod as a nickname for Cush, and the translation of Genesis 10:8 as "Cush brought forth rebellion", and Genesis 10:11 as "From that land, went forth Asshur ..."-how would this make the stories of Genesis 9,10,11 and the Tower of Babel more coherent? RESPONSE: This is a fascinating question and shows that you have been deeply studying the biblical texts and their potential translations. Let's dive into this: Firstly, the name Nimrod has been a subject of much study and speculation among biblical scholars. Some argue that it might be a derogatory term, rather than an actual name, playing off the Hebrew root for "rebel". If so, labeling this figure as "Cush brought forth rebellion" could underscore the notion of a descent into chaotic disobedience after the Flood. If Cush and Nimrod are indeed the same person, some interpretational conflict might arise in Genesis 10:11 because following the Septuagint and Samaritan Pentateuch, the verse would read, "From that land (referring to Babylon/Shinar), Nimrod/Cush went into Assyria and built the cities". But in traditional Hebrew text, it's understood that Asshur (Assyria) went out of that land. This alleged migration (if we use Septuagint and Samaritan Pentateuch) could be the beginning of the dispersion of peoples and languages - a direct prelude to the Tower of Babel story in Genesis 11. Also, it might add a darker connotation to the dispersal, associating it with rebellion and defiance against God's order, rather than a natural and neutral development of civilization. It would also tie Genesis 9 and 10 more closely together. Genesis 9 ends with the chronicles of Noah's sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, from whom all post-Flood humanity descended. Ham was Cush's (and possibly Nimrod's) father, so taking the name Nimrod as a nickname for Cush would effectively make the transition from the family narrative to the cities narrative more seamless. Yet while these interpretations could provide coherence, it must be remembered that they require speculation and extrapolation beyond the text's plain meaning. The ambiguities in the original language and differences among textual traditions, along with historical and cultural contexts, require more detailed and comprehensive study. Biblical interpretation requires a delicate balance of using linguistic, historical and cultural tools, while recognizing our own limitations and potential biases.
Excellent study brother. I hope your channel grows significantly because your depth of study is amazing! Glad I found your channel. Thank you and many blessings to you 🙏🏻.
Here's another cool thing I learned from Messiah 2030 about Lamech's death at 777 years. Yes, it may have been to spare him from the flood, but why 777? His son Noah's name means "rest". Thematically, rest comes from 777. Jesus is going to return at the start of the 7th day (1000 year millennial reign) in the 7th month (which is when the Feast of Trumpets always is) on the 7th day Sabbath. This only occurs once in history, and it is coming soon. Then, our rest is coming from /on 777. Peace!
Thank you for the kind words, but I'm just a vessel to tell His amazing story. Yes, the parallels get me excited and I think prove that God is real and behind everything. I'm glad you stayed until the end to see those. Yes, this summer will have at least 3 mark of the beast videos. Thanks for watching. God Bless.
At 26:34, Adam apparently had Seth at 230, not 130. The Masoretic had 130, but it was altered after Jesus died to deny his being the Messiah. 230 years is in the original and reflected in the Septuagint. There are over 600 years missing from the Masoretic text.
I just went through the Septuagint dates and added the larger years to each descendant. I have problems with the Septuagint ages, I think the Masoretic text is correct based on context. But here it goes.... This is years after creation(Feel free to do this yourself to see if I'm right) 1656 - Flood 1658 - Arphaxad Born 1793 - Salah Born 1923 - Eber Born 2006 - Noah Died Genesis 10: 25 To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; Most scholars believe this means when the Tower of Babel was dispersed by God and the people were separated into their individual lands of their families. I agree with this take, the lifetime of Peleg marks the dispersal of the Tower of Babel. So let's see where the Septuagint ages take us to the possible time of the Tower Story. 2057 - Peleg Born 2158 - Shem Died 2187 - Reu Born 2193 - Arphaxad Died 2253 - Salah Died 2319 - Serug Born 2327 - Eber Died 2396 - Peleg Died That's it for the time of the possible Tower of Babel story...But if we continue with the Septuagint ages, there is a glowing problem.... 2449 - Nahor Born 2628 - Terah Born 2698 - Abram Born (Abraham) Do you notice a couple things? Noah was not alive during the lifetime of Peleg. So the episode with his son Ham happened way before the Tower and his end of life blessing would have to have happened before the Tower of Babel. To me that is a problem, the Masoretic text has Noah very much alive during the lifetime of Peleg, making his end of life blessing to his sons in Genesis 9 so much more believable in what he said. This is not definitive proof against the Septuagint's ages, but it add big problems to the Genesis 9 story. But here comes the big blow to the Septuagint's ages and how they are in error. Did you notice how Terah was not even born during the time of Peleg. That means he could NOT have been in Babel during the Babel incident. But the end of Genesis 11, mentions him specifically leaving UR, which is in Babylon. In the Masoretic text, Terah is very much alive during the Tower story and he would have had to leave due to God breaking up the building and the city. It fits in the context of the Tower Story. But here's the final blow... There is this in the Book of Joshua: Joshua 24:2 2 And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, dwelt on the other side of the River in old times; and they served other gods. This is referring to what happened in the Tower of Babel story. But if Terah wasn't alive during the lifetime of Peleg, then how could he have been beyond the river and worhsiped other Gods? I believe this proves the ages in the Septuagint are incorrect and the Masoretic ages are correct. God Bless
@JRJohnson1701.. HINT.... For the Pre-flood ages forget using the MT or the LXX. Use the Samaritan Pentateuch and Jubilees and Josephus (but for Joe you gotta dig into appendix... and you'll find he confirms). All three are the same. All pre-date any Christian and Jewish desire to alter the timelines Pre & Post flood. Keep looking and you'll even find scattered support in other extra biblical writings all over the place. Good exploring. God Bless.
I don’t think that the flood is what killed Methuselah. I think perhaps God waited for the natural death of Methuselah before sending the flood on the Earth.
That is a very fair point, since he did live out a lifespan similar to the other generations in that genealogy. I had thought him dying in the same year as the flood was strong circumstantial proof, that is why I said probably. But your point about God waiting until his death makes more sense, this is just like Lamech dying at 777 years, 5 years before the flood. Thanks for the input James and I think you're right. God Bless
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 There is also the thought that Methuselah's name means "his death shall bring it" or something similar. Jude 1:14 mentions that Enoch (his father) made prophecies. So, there is the thought that Methuselah's name functioned as a prophecy showing God's grace - God gave the people the longest human life-span (Methuselah's) to repent and turn to Him, but they didn't. So in that view, he died in the year of the flood, but his death preceded it - ushering it in. Just thought I'd share that alternative view. Enjoyed the video
@@RuskinClay It was not a central focus of the video, but I think you are both right. I do think the taking of Enoch is key to pre-flood understanding of that time, because he was prophesying as noted in Jude. Of course adding that knowledge to the death of Methuselah(his son) in the same year as the flood, does indeed suggest the flood came after his full lifetime was lived out.(which is supported by his name) You and James above gave me a fresh look at that detail and I am edified. Thanks, iron sharpens iron. God Bless
Either we are building a huge house of cards on some radical new thinking or YAHWEH is pouring out great new understanding through you. “YAHWEH guide us! In the Name of YASHUA… amen.” Happy second Sabbath/Feast of Trumpets.
I like this?! I will try to take your advice to make use of tools new and used to connect and provide revelatory understanding through the Holy Spirit when I do my MA Theological Studies.
It is amazing how intelligent many people are when it comes to scriptures. Nonetheless I love Jesus and the father that sent him and I know it is not Yahweh . and I know the story of why Adam was left alone by lilith .
Hi Robert, Here’s my story. I was born into the Christian faith. Although I never doubted the existence of God or Jesus, they were never part of my life in any meaningful way. I was like most, I made rationalizations like I hadn’t killed or raped, therefore “I was a good Christian.” I never knew there was so much more to it. It wasn’t until personal issues and a family tragedy made me seek answers from God. And I found them. I felt drawn to and came back to church although I was never really part of it. I describe my coming to Christ as a conversion experience, since that is what it felt like. Within 6 months of starting this process, I surrendered my life to Christ, and vowed to be His servant. Now until coming to Christ, I had never read the bible nor did I ever take any bible study. I was a blank slate. Initially I struggled reading the bible, my family will tell you how hard it was for me. It was large and complicated, the totality of it was intimidating. But I kept reading it, especially Genesis my favorite Book. I found if you keep reading a book over and over again, you will see things you missed before. I guess that is the beautiful dual meaning of the Living Word, the more you read it the more you get out of it. And as I kept reading it, it started to click and make sense. The parallels are what drew me in, from the OT to the NT. (The Divine Helper Video was the first connection I saw) I was astonished that Books written by different authors over a thousand years apart, could fit together perfectly. I knew that only God could be behind these complex parallels. And that is what started me on my way. I have taken numerous bible studies and also attended bible institute for general biblical knowledge. I have also taken over a hundred biblical Hebrew lessons, including one on one lessons from a gentlemen with a PHD in Biblical Hebrew. I have not studied Koine Greek in anyway except to look up things online. I hope I don’t come across as arrogant, but I think these connections are coming from God. They even work outside of the bible too. I can only say these parallels will be the way to unravel the deeper mysteries of God. There is so much more coming from the channel. I think I know what is coming in the next few years, and since this is coming from God, He wants me to warn people about the dangers. I hadn’t thought of myself as an end times preacher, but I am focusing on end times since I think the bad stuff in the bible is about to happen. I want to help people through the ordeals, including the great delusion Paul talked about. Adam and Eve knew they were disobeying God, when sin entered the world, although Eve said she was deceived. The videos are my way of warning people was is about to come. I really am a nobody, just someone who reads the bible all day long looking for these connections and parallels. I think it has helped, that I was that blank slate, so no one’s preconceptions would steer me away from the deeper truth. I will occasionally watch other’s videos to see what is out there, but I find most don’t get it from the “parallel” angle that I see it from. There’s so much more to my story, but that is a general summary of it. God Bless
Thank you for the information. I have a chemical engineering degree but no formal education in biblical studies. I am a 69 year old retiree who began a more intensive Bible study in retirement. I asked for and received a study Bible for my 16th birthday in a July. I spent the summer reading the Bible from beginning to end. I noticed a lot of "odd" passages as I read. My studies continued in a haphazard fashion throughout my life, including a couple more read-throughs. Of special interest to me were the passages about the Nephilim/giants, archangels, seraphim and other spiritual beings which the church tends to ignore. I felt as though there were "hidden stories" in the Bible which were not hidden at all, but I did not have the skills to ferret them out. About 20 years ago, I ran across the scholarship of Dr. Michael S. Heiser who was doing scholarship in the areas of my interest. While I sometimes disagree with his theology, I have been enlightened by his biblical scholarship. We engineers are as comfortable arguing about engineers as lawyers are about the law. So a theological disagreement is no problem for me. I am a Lutheran. Dr. Heiser is an Evangelical. So what? as long as the scholarship is sound. I have a similar reaction to your scholarship. Your explanation of Genesis 9-11 has impressed me. It strikes me as a logical explanation of a confusing story. I have begun yet another read-through/study of the Bible and got stuck on these chapters. So thanks. I like to be able to describe any source that I reference to others which was the motivation for my first comment.
Well done. I would like to note that Jesus came teaching and referencing that man would not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds fromt he mouth of God. God provides the TRUE MANNA from heaven. We have no need to fear physical food loss and hunger in these last days. It is all spiritual...FIND JESUS, FOLLOW JESUS, and do not eat food sacrificed to idols. Blessings to all.
Interesting work. One odd thing, is that he says Terah worshipped idols, then lumps him in with Nahor and Peleg as being hunted down by the star worshippers...
O Brother In Christ, WOW I love your presentation. I pray your YOM TR'RUA was blessed this 2023rd year of our lord and Savior ... How blessed I was to find your presentation on You Tube! .. some people might call your presentation deep...However, I might refer to your presentation as TRUTH....as in what went before was not a lie but it was so obscured that its meaning was lost...finding that meaning ,I believe, is what Jesus meant by finding the TRUTH... and I also believe that kind of study should be an imperative in all churches (and even personal study). Regarding this Video,I also made a table of birth and death of the Patriarchs ... I named it Year of Adam (as in I don't actually know the date of creation but I am pretty certain of Adams age.... I refer to it as YOA (Year of Adam -using Adam as a datum reference for the Genealogical Time table of the patriarchs) I was kind of surprised that the birth and death dates I had were identical to yours (that kind of validation is very rare on the internet -lol ...and that has (once again) reinforced my confidence in the Lords Bible -thank you! ...Now a question about the date of the Fall of the Tower of Babel ? IF PELEG was named for the fall of Babylon would that not indicate that the fall happened either before or at the time of his birth? Ergo, why he was named PELEG? Seems unusual to name someone after the event / cause of his death? (1996) (is it possible that he was named posthumously ?? other wise, would he not have been named closer to his Birth date? ... Since that kind of fits the Hebrew pattern (many of the Patriarchs were named either for an event that was going on at there birth or what was going to take place in their life -later ...and if necessary if there was a covenant level event in that persons life, their name would be changed for it?.... There fore I kind of guessed Bable fell on or before Pelegs birth (1750?) ...and there fore he was named for that happened at his birth and his life represented that time.... However, I thought it was interesting that EBER is the 14th Generation of Man... the 7 Pattern seems to always have something interesting to it... 7 - Enoch 14 - Eber (during his life Babel fell) 21-Ishmael and Issac (& covenant of Circumcision) 28- Tabernacle completed 35- Solomon's Temple Completed 49 - Return from captivity 60 = messiah (12X5 = 60 & 12-5 = 7).... I know there is a little fuzzy math in there ... for the counting of Generations ...and the Math for Christ generation is based on the Sumerian number system based on "12"s ..... I might guess you have this in a video else where ? .... Please keep up the good Work! Prayers for your ministry and personally I thank you for the gentle and intelligent character that you have -I makes so much difference vs the adversarial contention on a lot of the Internet.
I had a website at first, but it went away so all my focus would be on videos. A few others have asked about my background and credentials, I hope you don't mind if I copied from another reply. My name is Randy. It has been on my earlier videos, but I decided to remove it in order to embrace the full gospel of Jesus Christ. John the Baptist said it was his duty to have less of him and more of Jesus. I am merely trying to apply that in this ministry, so that is why I no longer list my name in the credits. Feel free to call me Randy. Background: I am a devout Christian, Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I do not wish to give my denomination, as I'm an ecumenical person and am vexed at the division in God's church we see today. Anyone that professes that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior is my brother and sister in Christ. I tend to steer away from theology debates as I see that seems to cause division in the church. My sole focus is to interpret the bible based on a whole bible approach and also applying it in a different way. Through the lens of parallels and the connections we see from Old Testament to the New Testament. The Apostle Paul talked about these as lessons we should learn from. I believe God is trying to communicate to us through these parallels, as what is to come. And that is the focus on this ministry. Although I always believed in God, I truly came to Christ about 7-8 years ago and surrendered my life to Him. It was at that point, that I started voraciously reading the bible, sometimes over 12 hours per day. It has become my whole life. These connections always jumped out at me and I seemed to just "get it". I do not have any fancy degree in biblical studies. The classes I have taken to help going deeper in my knowledge is too countless to mention. I am open to what other people say. But I think that my take seems to be a little bit different from others is because I am a blank slate and have no preconceptions as to what the scriptures say based on what others say. I'm simply okay with standing apart from other scholars, I stand by the parallels and I believe that is how to interpret the scriptures. I have not claimed to be any kind of expert on Koine Greek language. I do not claim to be an expert in Hebrew, but have taken hundreds of classes on interpreting Biblical Hebrew. Including too numerous to mention, some from a very generous man with a PhD in Biblical Hebrew that taught me Hebrew in one on one lessons. Basically, no fancy degree, just a desire to come at the Bible from a different angle. I'm a nobody, but I take solace that our Lord Jesus choose nobodies as well to deliver His message to the world. I do try in my videos to offer advice to help the watcher to be able to discern things for themselves and even understand my thought patterns in how I came up with the conclusions that I arrived at. I believe that we are entering a period that Jesus called the beginning of sorrows, and my latest focus is on end time connections. All my next videos coming will be addressing end time events. I am trying to help anyone navigate this fallen world and get through Satan's deceptions. I hope I answered your questions about my background, feel free to ask me anything. God Bless
Really thorough biblical connections being made. I am a missionary and some of the topics discussed I hadn’t heard since the paper writing days of college. I love the various thought lines and that you use scripture to interpret scripture so thank you and keep that up! Provoke your viewers to study the Word of God and not just listen to the sermons of others. The Scriptures are a pure lens that shows humanity in true light, they don’t sanitize human beings and don’t make humans infallible. To all viewers don’t be critics just be like the Bareans (open minded, eager to learn and verifying by searching the scriptures) Acts 17:11.
Very interesting! Thank you for the well laid out study. I had come to the same conclusion about Ham and his son Canaan. However, I disagree about Nimrod. The way he is described in Gen 10:8 as a "gibor" seems to suggest he had the giant genetics. And why is it written differently that Cush 'begat" him after he had grandsons? Something seems different about him. Also your linking the three phases of his kingdom that manifest on the earth was very helpful to understanding end time events. I look forward to more of your research.
Haran died in Ur. Abraham's brother Haran sees what happened and says that he believes in the God of Abraham. Haran is thrown into the fire, and is not saved by God. Hence the verse in Genesis 11:28, “And Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.”
I'm onboard with this. It makes the puzzle pieces fit so much more rediscently. but idk how to make it work that Nimrod was Cush's youngest son and all that it goes into to describe how Cush gave the clothing that God made for Adam and Eve , which Cham stole from Noah his father and all the things written about Nimrod. Should I substitute Nimrod with Cham in every instance? So to say Cham was the first King over men?
The video series presented suggest Nimrod is Cush. And Nimrod was created as an alter-ego of Cush. Cush would be the first king recorded in the bible in the Tower of Babel episode. He would be the the first King out of the sea of Daniel 7. Cush was a mighty hunter and the first beast was a lion, so it fits.
I just went through the Septuagint dates and added the larger years to each descendant. I have problems with the Septuagint ages, I think the Masoretic text is correct based on context. But here it goes.... This is years after creation(Feel free to do this yourself to see if I'm right) 1656 - Flood 1658 - Arphaxad Born 1793 - Salah Born 1923 - Eber Born 2006 - Noah Died Genesis 10: 25 To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; Most scholars believe this means when the Tower of Babel was dispersed by God and the people were separated into their individual lands of their families. I agree with this take, the lifetime of Peleg marks the dispersal of the Tower of Babel. So let's see where the Septuagint ages take us to the possible time of the Tower Story. 2057 - Peleg Born 2158 - Shem Died 2187 - Reu Born 2193 - Arphaxad Died 2253 - Salah Died 2319 - Serug Born 2327 - Eber Died 2396 - Peleg Died That's it for the time of the possible Tower of Babel story...But if we continue with the Septuagint ages, there is a glowing problem.... 2449 - Nahor Born 2628 - Terah Born 2698 - Abram Born (Abraham) Do you notice a couple things?

I believe this proves the ages in the Septuagint are incorrect and the Masoretic ages are correct. God Bless
It is also prophetic. 120 years is the limit of God's contending with man in his sinful state. 120 X a Jubilee cycle of 50 is 6000. Jesus is going to return again 6000 years after Adam's sin to do away with sin. It's coming soon...
W.F.Albright a foremost historian and archeologist from 1930 to1960s said that Gen.ch.10 is perhaps the most important ancient document in the whole world!
I'm partial to the NKJV version. I use it on most of my videos. I will sometimes use other translations when I feel the translation might be off on the Hebrew. God Bless
When Ham was disowned , his name would have changed for being disowned. The question would then become when did Noah find out.. it's possible Ham was disowned right after the event and Noah raised Canaan as his son as implied, and by the time of the cursing, Canaan had show he was following in his father's footsteps.
If this was a power play by Ham against his father, then I theorize he would have known right away. And the rebellion by Ham and his family during the Tower of Babel incident would come right after that. I've got the cursing of Canaan by Noah to be a servant to Shem and Japheth, to add meaning he was serving his brother Cush in the rebellion against God at the Tower. The meaning of the names behind his first two sons adds to this understanding. God Bless
Really good question, I addressed that in the video about what Ham did to Noah. It's the first video in a 3 part series. It's very telling that only Japheth and Shem are mentioned as brothers in Genesis 10. Ham must have done something really bad to not be mentioned as a brother.
Wow that is a lot of info... Probably took you ten or fifteen minutes to put all this together.... Lol.....thanks for sharing all your hard work.... Thank you Jesus
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680Hi, I think because people aren't generally Hebrew experts ita very difficult to come to the conclusion that you are a 100% correct whether you are or not. Do you believe this is something you could be challenged on or get another opunion on or do you believe you have nailed it? We people are dependent on you teachers to get it right. Sending this in love ❤
Great work on this 3 part really enjoyed it. Just one thing though, your timeline is off by about 650 years since the Masoretic text cut some years off Abraham's ancestors in order to say Shem is Melchizedek. This video has a nice breakdown of it at starting at around 4 minutes ua-cam.com/video/VI1yRTC6kGE/v-deo.html
Confirmed: QUESTION: Examine Genesis 10:11 in Hebrew. Could this be translated as, "From that land, went forth Asshur ..." RESPONSE: The start of Genesis 10:11 in the Hebrew Bible reads as follows: "מִן-הָאָרֶץ הַהִוא, יָצָא אַשּׁוּר". The literal translation of this usually is: "From that land went forth Asshur," or, in another common variant, "Out of that land went forth Asshur." So, yes, your translation is correct. The key here is that "Asshur" is a proper noun being used to denote a place (Assyria) or, in some contexts, a person (the ancestor of the Assyrians).
Masoretic is the corrupted text that I was referring to, the texts that were before Christ are the correct texts you need to look at for the lifespans you are talking about. Septuagint and the Latin Vulgate are the two that have not been altered I believe. I will listen to your post when you have corrected this error.

So let's see where the Septuagint ages take us to the possible time of the Tower Story. 2057 - Peleg Born 2158 - Shem Died 2187 - Reu Born 2193 - Arphaxad Died 2253 - Salah Died 2319 - Serug Born 2327 - Eber Died 2396 - Peleg Died That's it for the time of the possible Tower of Babel story...But if we continue with the Septuagint ages, there is a glowing problem.... 2449 - Nahor Born 2628 - Terah Born 2698 - Abram Born (Abraham) Do you notice a couple things? Noah was not alive during the lifetime of Peleg. So the episode with his son Ham happened way before the Tower and his end of life blessing would have to have happened before the Tower of Babel. To me that is a problem, the Masoretic text has Noah very much alive during the lifetime of Peleg, making his end of life blessing to his sons in Genesis 9 so much more believable in what he said. This is not definitive proof against the Septuagint's ages, but it add big problems to the Genesis 9 story. But here comes the big blow to the Septuagint's ages and how they are in error. Did you notice how Terah was not even born during the time of Peleg. That means he could NOT have been in Babel during the Babel incident. But the end of Genesis 11, mentions him specifically leaving UR, which is in Babylon. In the Masoretic text, Terah is very much alive during the Tower story and he would have had to leave due to God breaking up the building and the city. It fits in the context of the Tower Story. But here's the final blow... There is this in the Book of Joshua: Joshua 24:2 2 And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, dwelt on the other side of the River in old times; and they served other gods. This is referring to what happened in the Tower of Babel story. But if Terah wasn't alive during the lifetime of Peleg, then how could he have been beyond the river and worhsiped other Gods? I believe this proves the ages in the Septuagint are incorrect and the Masoretic ages are correct. God Bless
Very interesting. Even though I am not 100% on the same page, it is difficult to refute what you have said. I created a timeline and genealogy during lockdown. One thing I discovered, is that there is a discrepancy between the different translations of the Bible LXX adds 100 to each of the birth years to the line of Shem in Genesis 11. I never truly resolved this issue. The other thing that I differed on, and I think your explanation makes sense, was the timing of the dispersion, and the end of life blessing of Noah. If you are correct, then what you say makes more sense to the conclusion I came to. The other issue that I do not think was addressed, was the lifespan of Abraham. Or at least the timing of his birth. This seems to differ depending on the reading. According your plain reading, yes, Noah was alive, but according to my understanding of Acts 7, no. Interesting video though, and food for thought.
THE FACT THAT CANAAN DID A DESPICABLE ACT TO NOAH IS THE REASON WHY CANAAN WAS MENTIONED PROPHETICALLY AND NOT DUE TO LAND SETTLEMENTS THAT SONS AND GRANDSONS OF NOAH WOULD NATURALLY TAKE POSSESSION OF DUE TO GOD'S COMMANDMENT TO SPREAD OUT IN THE LAND THAT WOULD BE BINDING UPON ALL OF THOSE THAT WOULD MAKE UP NOAH'S GRANDCHILDREN
BIG MISUNDERSTANDING WHEN IT COMES TO CANAAN BEING NOAH'S SON - THEY DID NOT USE THE TERM GRANDSON AS WE USE TODAY TO IDENTIFY THE SONS OF A FATHER - THEY SIMPLY CONTINUED USING THE TERM SON - THAT IS WHY JESUS IS CALLED THE SON OF DAVID: " The book of the history of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham:" Matthew 1:1 EVEN THOUGH BEING 42 GENERATIONS REMOVED. THEREFORE THE REFERENCE TO NOAH BEING THE FATHER OF CANAAN IS NOT DUE TO A RAPE THAT MADE NOAH CANAAN'S FATHER

Very fascinating. I honestly have not done a deep dive into Septuagint. I also have not studied Greek, so heavily reliant on Strongs. There are other areas where the Septuagint altered numerical details, so I would tend to agree with you. I almost want to take my notes on the timeline out again and continue that study I did. I got as far a Judges and kings, but got lost in the detail.@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680
You really REALLY need to use some sould absorption in your recoding room... it would not take many sound proofing panels (even diy or cardboard egg trays) to take the tin ringing out of your audio.
This ministry is adopting a new type of methodology. I first started to see connections looking from the NT back to the OT. But somewhere along I asked myself, why can't you do the same thing the other way around? Then I started to use parallels and instead of just looking backward to see connections, it's applying the parallels in a forward way of thinking. The Apostle Paul talked about how to use the example of God's first people the Israelites, as an example of what not to do. I believe that God is coordinating a story of repeated parallels in order for humanity to figure out the righteous path towards Him. If you can keep an open mind that I could be right, then keep watching my channel and videos, the connections are everywhere in every story.Yes, I can do this in every story in the bible, there is another larger story that God is trying to tell. I believe God is behind these connections. I know its new and will be difficult for many to accept, but its bible based. And just keep an open mind it could be coming from God.
I see a lot of parallel things in the Bible in the form of an analogy. It seems like in your instance you try and make things fit your narrative. The Bible was not given for a private interpretation, I fear that is what you may be doing.
@@750SonyP Feel free to watch the videos on this channel. The parallels are everywhere. And I can do this with every single story in the Bible. Every one. God is saying something bigger is happening at the same time as the surface level of each story. There's a dual purpose in everything God does. He operates on multiple levels of understanding. I think this is coming from God. Even if you are skeptical, just keep watching with an open mind that its possible I'm right and this is God-breathed. And the only way to tell if God is not speaking through someone is that they are wrong about anything. That's it, I cannot be wrong about anything. It's a high bar to clear. That's how certain I am. And if it turns out I'm wrong about anything, then I'll do a video saying so and my ministry will change. Until then I'll continue my path that I believe is coming from God.
Did you know that in the Septuagint Genesis 10:11 starts with, "ἐκ τῆς γῆς ἐκείνης ἐξῆλθεν Ασσουρ", which translates as, "Out of that land Asshur went out"?
Yes and the King James has it correct also. But many translations have it wrong. In retrospect maybe I could have cited some of the translations being right.
I see. It looks like all the older translations had the Asshur form, and then about the time of the English Revised Version, the newer translations started using the he/Assyria form. But, this makes so much sense. Many of the kings of Assyria took Asshur as part of their name, like Asshur-Nirari for example, because it was the land of Asshur. Also, when Isis / Semiramis fled from Shem, she went to Assyria and gave birth to Horus / Gilgamesh by Asshur showing that he supported her because he had been part of the rebellion at Babel.
It is from my studies that I believe scripture teaches that Noah's sons all had their settlements prior to the event of the tower call babel. It was Ham's descendants who rebelled and built the tower. How else would the pure language of Hebrew have survived that event? In my humble opinion. Yes, all the earth was of one language, but it doesn't say all the earth was gathered at that place!
Jesus was in the grave for 3 days and 3 nights. No partial days. Matthew 12:40: "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." He road into Jerusalem on a donkey on the Sabbath (Saturday), was judged for 4 days (Sat-Tue). Tuesday was the last supper with leavened bread. Judas betrayed him Tuesday evening (beginning of preparation day), He was judged and crucified on preparation day (Wed evening). He died and was placed in the grave right at Passover. Then he was in the grave for 3 days and 3 nights. Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Just prior to the end of Sabbath on Saturday (Sat evening) he rose again. Mary came to the garden the first day of the week (Sunday right after the end of Sabbath). The Sunday within the week of the Feast of Unleavened Bread is First Fruits. This is when Jesus told Mary not to touch him because he had to ascend to his father (John 20:17). He presented the first fruits of the resurrection to his father when he ascended (see Matthew 27: 52,53 regarding saints coming out of the graves and many people seeing them walk around Jerusalem). Then he appeared to the rest of the disciples and was seen and touched by many for 40 days.
They took Him down from the cross early in the evening and buried him. He arose very early in the morning on the third day. Could not have been in the tomb 72 hours.
Arphaxad, Salah, Eber, Peleg, and Reu all had a hundred years dropped from the ages they bore their sons in the Masoretic; this is seen if you compare the Septuagint, Samaritan Pentateuch, and Josephus to the Masoretic. You should add another 500 years to this timeline at 37:26. The reason this was done is so that Shem could be claimed to be Melchizedek, and the priesthood would then only come through the Levites, and Melchizedek would be a Levite, not a new, higher priest as the Christians claimed in the book of Hebrews of Jesus.

@JRJohnson1701 - Yes you are on to it. Another big stumbling block for many is the timing of the flood. You figured that one out yet ? Hint it certainly isn't 1656 after creation ... lol.
@matthewaislabie7354 all you need donis count the years from creation to the death of Metheusila... that was when the flood happened... it's a no brainer
That's a good one. I was planning to do a whole video about that one. It's a great foreshadow of the mark of the beast and being marked for God if you include chapter 8 as well. So many more videos to make. Thanks for the insightful comment, it's in my queue of videos to make. God Bless
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 I'm just wondering, if the figures mentioned in Genesis 1 to 11 can be rediscovered in the legend and mythology of nations... Essentially pointing back to it. Also, whether the names of patriarchs can be found back in the names of nations, tribes, etc. Apparently there are instances of this, but the evidences aren't that definite. There are similarities in the mythologies, especially the origin stories. Surveying this and producing a concise result could help to indicate that there is a common origin to Noah and the scenario pointed out in the deluge.
@@metapolitikgedanken612 I also had similar thoughts about the original of myths. Were they whole cloth fiction? Or did they start out with a truth and embellish from there to fit into the culture desired? I do think they started out with a kernel of truth. I'm thinking about Gilgamesh. Scholarly opinion has Moses took the story of Gilgamesh and fit it into Genesis. But maybe it was the other way around. There was the oral story of the flood told through the generations and the Gilgamesh tale was their version of a real flood. I'm a biblical fundamentalist, so I give God's word preference and try to fit the myths into the history of the bible.
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 My question coming up with the text was: What did Noah teach his sons? After all, they must have spend some really long time together. It is plausible that Noah taught his sons: * About creation and the history including the deluge, which they experienced themselves. * Prophetic knowledge about the coming law, coming savior and the 'last things' of the world. * Facts about the nature of God, nature of man, nature of creation etc. Now I don't think the sons and their descendants penned that down. At least not completely. But they would have memorized this. Since they are Flesh and not Spirit, they'd however be confused to some extend and while passing it on the story would have getting garbled, lost elements and perhaps also added elements. It's a bit like the telephone game or rumors spreading. It gets embellished and changed while being passed on and processed in people's memory. Even if on puts in a truthful account, expect distortion to come out. There is also a factor of interpretation and people interpret as it suits them, as it 'makes sense' to them. Consider the factor of sin (imperfection) as well... This comes with 'cultural entropy'. The theory that "Moses Copied from Egyptians, Chaldeans, Assyrians", etc. sounds plausible on face value, since their 'myths' are considered to be older than the Moses text. This does however not explain the high degree of coherence and plausibility in Genesis, Exodus, etc. Neither is the text 'self-serving' as the typical pagan legend is. In fact the text sketches realistic people with personal flaws, even wickedness and doesn't try to aggrandize the leaders or the people it writes about. When discussing the topic I tell people that the OT / Moses books aren't a "Hebrew Hagiography", quite to the contrary it makes clear that Abraham and posterity received grace from God *undeservedly*. They got it not because they were good and great, but despite not being exactly that. So text is quite apart from the various other ancient texts. My challenge: What does this say about the credibility of the text? I'd say it adds to the credibility. Among ancient religion scholars it's of course fashionable to be 'critical' of the 'biblical text. It's kind of expected of them by their colleagues, if they don't want to be classed as 'religious nutters', 'bible thumpers', 'old-fashioned', 'unenlightened' or whatever. That's why the outcomes and their statements will be skewed. I'm more familiar with Norse/Germanic mythology. And it is full of 'christian' themes in it. In fact this has also been noticed by scholarly circles already in the 19th century. Their 'explanation' was that this must have been from missionaries who also recorded the poems and prose of the edda. But for what purpose? Suggestion is that they tried to fool the people. Mmh, do they seriously believe that too much deviation from the traditional poems wouldn't be noticed by the people of those cultures? So while I don't dispute bias on the side of those recording, the thesis that they essentially did rewrite the legends, poems, prose to fit a 'Christian Narrative' isn't too convincing. There is also the problem that of the 'Christian Themes' have equivalents in other culture. So to rewrite all the mythologies would have required central coordination and perhaps mind control of all those doing recording and also those that possibly could have reviewed it. So it's more a thing of 'we don't want the heathen mythology to affirm Christianity'. My view is that scripture is 'reliable testimony' and authoritative record to form a basis by which doctrines and teachings can be tested. Jesus Christ is 'God's Word', hence calling the bible 'God's word' is a bit problematic and can be misleading. And well, God the Father is the final authority. The texts become their value by reading it with the Holy Spirit. Otherwise one will go on false trails there.
@@metapolitikgedanken612 Approaching this from a logical sequence of events is understandable, I do get it. But I look at the end result. Have you ever studied the structural aspect of how the stories and the Books of the Bible are written? For example a chiastic structure? There's more to it, but that is one example. There is a precise nature of how the structure of the stories and books are written, that goes beyond anything that man could come up with.(especially since all the books have it) If the stories were just fuzzy recollections of oral stories then there could not be any kind of precise structure to it. And it all fits together in a perfect pattern of balance from beginning to end. Plus add in the concentration of my channel, the connections and parallels of the bible. Which encompasses the 40 different authors of the bible and spans thousands of years of writings that fit together perfectly. Like a hand in a glove. That is what inspired me on my way to believe in the inerrant Word of God from the Books of the Bible. There is no way that man could connect so many different Books together to tell such a linear story with the same repeating parallels or connections. You just have to watch my videos to see it from my perspective. We both believe in God. I approach the whole bible as a way for God to communicate history to us in order for us to be able to learn from it. Because it is "His Story". I don't think there is a word or a comma out of place, there is no way God would let His story become flawed in anyway. Everything there is for both educational and instructional purposes. The Apostle Paul talked about this from the standpoint of us learning from the mistakes of the Israelites, or God first chosen people. This is why God uses situations and events that happen over and over again. This is building to Man's last test by God. To see if we have the faith that He was seeking all along from Adam and starting over with Abraham and God's chosen people. Yes, Jesus Christ is the Word of God. But before Abraham was, Jesus said "I am". An unmistakable reference to Jesus being God Himself. He was always there from the beginning. So when God went down to break up the Tower of Babel, He manifested Himself in the person of Jesus Christ. And Jesus was the person who walked with Abraham. That is what it means to be the only begotten son of God. It's not just because the Holy Spirit hovered over Mary and she became pregnant with Jesus, it's because Jesus came out from God at the beginning and was the Word of God. This is why He can be the Word, of God, the Light of the World, because He came out from God, has the Essence of God and is God himself. I go over that theology is my videos. But back to the writings of the Books in the Bible. Take Genesis for example. I'm working on something rather big, even transformative. To prove the existence of God. What if I told you Genesis itself, not only symbolizes and implies the story of Jesus Christ but explicitly tells the story of Jesus. Do you think those oral stories told down through the generations could become corrupt or flawed in anyway? And only through studying the structure of the stories could you see it. In Genesis....there's a stone rolled away, a blinding light, a betrayal with a kiss, a wind passing over....these are just hints at the real story of Jesus and there are so many more that explicitly tell His story. And this is not just random coincidences either, there is a structure to it, it is in linear order to if you analyze how to break down the chapters. So Yes, I don't think God would let his Bible become flawed with hazy recollections of oral stories. It's just too precise for any man to come up with something so perfect and prophetic at the same time. I hope I explained my thoughts well. God Bless
The Jews, in order to say that Shem is Melkisedek, made modifications to the Messoretic texts macking the ages of some of the descendents of Shem shroter with 100 years. Example, Arphaxad had his son Selah at 135 years not 35 so on. The Septuagint has the dates right, and Josephus also!!! That's why Terah has Kids at 70, and the others at 30 ish ...
I have to do a deep comparison between say the Septuagint and the Masoretic text. I don't think its a given that either side is right. As you know most translations use the Masoretic text. I wouldn't presume the Septuagint is correct or that the Masoretes would purposefully alter ages to make Melchizedek work. I just can't wrap my brain around religious people altering Holy Scriptures to prove or disprove things. I am also against the Documentary Hypothesis for this reason too. I am not say you are wrong, just that it needs more study. Thanks for the note though, something to look into.
I just went through the Septuagint dates and added the larger years to each descendant. I have problems with the Septuagint ages, I think the Masoretic text is correct based on context. But here it goes.... This is years after creation(Feel free to do this yourself to see if I'm right) 1656 - Flood 1658 - Arphaxad Born 1793 - Salah Born 1923 - Eber Born 2006 - Noah Died Genesis 10: 25 To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; Most scholars believe this means when the Tower of Babel was dispersed by God and the people were separated into their individual lands of their families. I agree with this take, the lifetime of Peleg marks the dispersal of the Tower of Babel. So let's see where the Septuagint ages take us to the possible time of the Tower Story. 2057 - Peleg Born 2158 - Shem Died 2187 - Reu Born 2193 - Arphaxad Died 2253 - Salah Died 2319 - Serug Born 2327 - Eber Died 2396 - Peleg Died That's it for the time of the possible Tower of Babel story...But if we continue with the Septuagint ages, there is a glowing problem.... 2449 - Nahor Born 2628 - Terah Born 2698 - Abram Born (Abraham) Do you notice a couple things?

@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 I appreciate the time spent to make these calculations and observations. It is difficult for me to believe that the Septuagint (which had no agenda behind it) and Josephus made a mistake in these calculations, and the Mesoretic Texts (which would have had an antichrist agenda behind it) to be correct. Again, I'm not saying these things to attack the work you did, and I didn't come with a critical attitude. The Babel period and the division of peoples, their migration and the formation of civilizations after Babel are some subjects that fascinate me a lot and I notice that many who do studies on these subjects have different opinions and a concrete interpretation is, in my opinion, quite difficult to obtain. Things are (in the Bible) quite vague, considering the scale of the event and the global magnitude it has. The work you did shows passion and dedication, things to appreciate. May God guide us in the Truth, to His Glory, be blessed in the Name of Jesus Christ.
@@LazarAndrei-VNI Big Hint - 1. For Pre flood use Three witnesses - Samaritan Pentateuch, Jubilees and Josephus. Forget LXX and MT as authority. 2. For Post flood (this is ,a bit more messy) Use LXX & Joe for first three generations and then MT / LXX from there. Plus all the little hints to iron out along the way, Example Age of Terah at Abram birth was 130 not 70 using Acts 7 etc..
There is one major hurdle to his Nimrod theory that would need an adequate explanation. The ancient texts and histories all considered him to be a person. You would think the ancients knew their history, and how to translate texts. For instance, Jasher 27:4-8 tell how Esau killed Nimrod. Why?
If Nimrod was considered a real person in the past, then it could have been achieved as an alter-ego or assumed identity. How do myths get started? By someone telling a story and people accepting it as real through repetition. We can't see this through our modern lenses, but if the Bible is true, there wouldn't be that many people on the earth in order to start a story and let it stick. This is a plausible reason why if ancient world thought Nimrod was real, it could've been done rather easily through making up the story of Nimrod as an assumed identity of Cush. And there are lots of examples in the Bible of Kings changing the names of people. Why not the King himself changing his own name too? Another possible reason...God Bless
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 Certainly a possibility. But I would expect that we'd be able to find your view in history somewhere if it was part of history. They (Israelites / Jews in general) were pretty meticulous record keepers. Maybe it exists somewhere, but I am not aware of it. Peace
I applaud your research. However, I think its a bit discouraging to label "All the family of Ham as evil." There is a son of Ham that you didn't mention. Is it possible he and others weren't at Babel? This is a subject that requires a lot of explaining as "the curse of Ham" has been used as a justification to exterminate and de-humanize people groups and cultures through history.
The context of the Tower story was that the whole world was there. And connecting chapters 9, 10, and 11 together spells out a full scale rebellion against God by the family of Ham. And you were either for God or against God, much like the final test by God that is coming in end times. I even mentioned that Genesis 9 indicates Japheth had fallen away from YHWH, so his family was not spared in criticism. I only interpret the passages through the connections, in no way does this interpretation justify the history of what came afterward. If you cannot interpret the Bible and an event that was a full scale rebellion against God because of sensitivites and accusations of 'justification to exterminate and de-humanize people', then we shouldn't even try to interpret the Bible at all. If I made a video criticizing King Saul, would that make me an anti-semite that justified the holocaust? What happened to the black people in Africa with regards to slavery is an outrage. And even afterwards with unequal treatment that they had to fight for equal rights was bad too. But when you make a quantum leap, from I think rightly interpreting this section in the bible, to thousands of years later that this interpretation was used to round up black people is doing a disservice to the Bible and history itself. This interpretation has nothing to do with what black people had to endure during slavery. And the fact I have to defend myself and not whether my interpretation is true, means we cannot have rational discussion about the Bible's stories. And the Bible pulls no punches, it talks about very bad stuff in humanity's history, yes evil stuff. If the progenitor of Egypt and Africa was evil, that means absolutely nothing about every black person from that time until today. God loves all people equally and He loves all the black people around the world and in Africa. And as a Christian I want everyone to go to Heaven, and our belief system is that the only WAY to go to Heaven is through Jesus Christ. I want that for all black people.(and every person) Sorry my friend, but interpreting the Bible should be just that, whether interpretation is true or not. You shouldn't connect horrible things in order to silence what the stories said. And I am firmly behind the belief that Satan is real and behind the evil in the world(and the tower story), and he will try to take down anyone regardless of color, black, white, brown, yellow, etc. I will continue to make videos discussing the bible, if egg shells are what you walk on, then Bible studies aren't for you.
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 I appreciate you taking the time to clarify. However, I'm confused why you are being defensive or feeling like you're "having to walk on eggshells". I was simply asking you a question with some added insight...the question remains that the Table of Nations doesn't account for all the people groups in the world today. Since you've done the excellent research, I was wondering if you could explain why whole groups of modern day people groups aren't mentioned or represented by the 70 nations mentioned (for example West Africans, Native Americans, East Asians). The Joshua Project estimates that there are over 17,428 unique people groups and I'm curious as to how there are so many when we only started with 70 original nations. I know you may not have all the answers but simply wanted to know what your thoughts were. #BeBlessedAndLessStressed
@@brank1022 Now that's a fair question. The egg shell comment was to say I won't walk on them even if people bring up or equate criticizing Ham and his family somehow justifies the extermination and de-humanizing treatment of black people as you put it. Criticizing Ham and his family is just that, criticizing him and his family. I don't buy the connective tissue. As for the 70 original nations coming from Babel not accounting for all people groups in the world, that is beyond my study since it's outside of the Bible. It's a fair field of study. I am a Biblical fundamentalist, so I start with the Bible has told the truth about the 70 original nations listed after the flood and then will listen to how the other parts of the world were populated from there. And I'm sure there are lots of people deep diving into this field. I myself try to stay in my lane if you will, and usually stay within the Bible itself. Numbers are important to God, so that number 70 was important to start with. Just like the 70 Hebrews that came down to Egypt. How it went beyond there to the rest of the world, is for those scholars in that field. God Bless
I will be doing a Daniel 9 video within a month. I don't think there can be a mid-trib. There will be only one 3.5 year tribulation period, and can only be pre-trib or post-trib. The video on Daniel 9 will show you how I come to that conclusion from the prophecy itself. I've also done a Rapture video that shows a connection from the bible I believe can only be coming from God. I would be termed a post-tribber, or just before the second coming of Christ. The sealing of the 144,000 will come during the tribulation, then what is called the rapture. God Bless

@@ronallens6204 All the prophecies of Daniel and even Revelation points to bad times in the end for God's people. I know some teachers say that it means this is when God will deal with the Jewish people at the end. I don't see it that way at all. How much more could the Jewish people take, they lost their promised land, went into exile, built again then were again captured by Rome. Then their temple was destroyed and in WWII endured the Holocaust. How much more can they take? If you've watched my video on the Rapture, I broke down Revelation 11 and the 2 Witnesses. The Jewish people and Christians are the 2 Witnesses. And the Jewish people have already fulfilled their role in Revelation 11. That only leaves Christians to fulfill their role in Revelation 11. And when you see Revelation 11 and 13, that is talking about the saints being overcome then you'll realize that is speaking about Christians. Revelation 12 even talks about how the dragon(Satan) switches from Israel to Christians. We will endure everything the Jewish people endured, with one caveat. Satan is trying to convince you that the Anti-Christ will be sent by God. That is why he is called a false prophet in Revelation. I've been hitting this in my videos, especially the Rapture and also told viewers who the First Beast will be. I am doing Daniel 9 next and will start talking about that tribulation period and how mainstream teaching on the tribulation is wrong. And also let you know how that misguided teaching could lead many astray. That's how I have it,one last test by God to see who will be faithful to God. Even in the face of death after the AC takes control of the world. I hope you're able to follow my train of thought. All my videos are preparing for what is to come. And those are really bad times, Daniel 12 talks about the worst time ever. Keep watching, my positions are laid out.
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 i can follow your rrain of thought and reasoning as alot of it i use to believe as well.. its not always easy to discern everything the scriptures hold.. let aline the ones already fulfilled because i lack the kbowledge of the hebrewisms... then again, many who do, refuse to believe the scriptures even though they know the hebrew as experts. I plan on watching your vid on the rapture and will make my comments then.. i am always amazed at what people know and what people dont or refuse to believe. Believing carries more responsibility, and not belueving can stop you understanding even more... part of the reason moses spent 40 years tending sheep was to empty out and unlearn what he thought he knew so God could fill him with the truth... i have had my times in the wilderness, and made many trips around the mountain.. and i still striive to study to show myself approved... one thing about the race, you are only ever given just enough to finish...
Your three videos regarding the Table of Nations, Ham's rape of his mother and Nimrod are fascinating but incomplete. I am reminded of another biblical scholar early in his research, Dr. Michael S. Heiser. As any good scholar should, you you go into detail to explain how you derive the elemental facts of a somewhat hidden story in the Bible. But you never tell a straightforward version of the story. I suggest you create a video that tells this story in a simple, straightforward manner; then, reference the other three videos for people to discern whether the welements of the story are true. As newspaper editors say, "You bried the lede."
I will give alot of thought into your suggestion. I am aware of different levels of bible readers, so I do tend to read the scriptures as I go along for all to follow the study of the subjects. I had thought by the end of The Table of Nations video, that the parallels would have been easy to follow for most levels. But you are saying I didn't advertise the conclusion well enough to alert more people to the connective tissue in the overall story in all three chapters. And I should to make a summary video that references back to the videos. That's a point that I'll take into consideration. I'm into Revelation subjects now, but will give this alot more thought. Thanks and God Bless.
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 I promise to not bother you further but here is a UA-cam link to a brief 9 minute description of Eridu and its place in the beginning of civilization. There are better, more extensive descriptions elsewhere. ua-cam.com/video/RDNaXb5UBss/v-deo.html
Followed both related videos, and I love how thorough you are in presented parallels through scripture using several supporting verses to evince your conclusions. But here I find a few gaps. It seems you’re assuming the births to be prior to Terah being 70. However the related account with Noah begetting Shem Ham & Japheth. Noah is 502 (their could be an argument for 503) when Shem is born, since Shem is 100 two years after the flood. This seems to indicate the begetting after the age being recorded. Also Galatians says Abram left Charan at 75 after his father dies, putting Abram’s birth no earlier than Terah’s 130th year. It says Haran died before his father Terah. It appears you’re assuming he died in 1996, but Terah dies in year 2083, leaving a much bigger timeframe for Haran’s lifetime. Lastly the 10-20 years assumption didn’t get an explanation. Isaac was 137 when he gave his blessing (with the presumption that Joseph was born at the end of Jacobs 14 years of servitude), this was the same age when Ishmael died interestingly, but Isaac lived to 180. Isaac likely expected to die shortly, Yet he lived another 43 years.
I took a couple notes about your comment. I'm recording another video. Give me a few days to get back to you if you'd like to have a discussion. Thanks
I would love that. I didn’t finish this video when these things came to mind, so I do get why you’re insinuating Haran’s demise. I do appreciate how thorough you are in presenting your reasoning, especially that you take time to break down the Hebrew, unlike most who insinuate meaning and take it for gospel. So thank you for framing your teaching with plenty of supporting details.
I’m sorry. Galatians 3:17 was the verse I had in my mind, a supporting verse for the timing of Israel’s sojourning in Egypt. The reference to Abraham leaving Charran after his father was dead is Acts 7:2-4.
I just recently went through the Genesis timeline, to work out the dates since the creation of Adam, and this was one of the problematic gaps, not wanting to assume Abram to have been born in y.1948 when Terah was 70. There is still a little uncertainty here, for if Abram waited any number of years to leave Charran it puts his birth later than 130 years of Terah. Thinking about Peleg and Nahor and why there deaths differ by a year: I question whether the years mentioned for the begetting of sons is intended to reflect the years since Adam’s creation, but am rather of the opinion that it solely reflects the age of the fathers. In this light it is hard to believe begetting to be on the first month for each progenitor, rather that some would be in the 2nd month, or the 11th, or the 7th, etc. This might push the years since Adam’s Creation forward perhaps an average of 1 year for two progenitors. You can see how that, if Peleg and Nahor had died in the same year, yet the reflected dates might be slightly off. I haven’t worked this out mathematically to make sure the argument is sound. Just a hypothesis.
Great work with one big caveat...read the genealogy of Shem in the LXX verses the Mesoretic. After the death and ressurection of Messiah the unbelieving Jews altered the text by eliminating 100 years from the ancestors of Shem to obscure the lineage of Jesus.
I just went through the Septuagint dates and added the larger years to each descendant. I have problems with the Septuagint ages, I think the Masoretic text is correct based on context. But here it goes.... This is years after creation(Feel free to do this yourself to see if I'm right) 1656 - Flood 1658 - Arphaxad Born 1793 - Salah Born 1923 - Eber Born 2006 - Noah Died Genesis 10: 25 To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; Most scholars believe this means when the Tower of Babel was dispersed by God and the people were separated into their individual lands of their families. I agree with this take, the lifetime of Peleg marks the dispersal of the Tower of Babel. So let's see where the Septuagint ages take us to the possible time of the Tower Story. 2057 - Peleg Born 2158 - Shem Died 2187 - Reu Born 2193 - Arphaxad Died 2253 - Salah Died 2319 - Serug Born 2327 - Eber Died 2396 - Peleg Died That's it for the time of the possible Tower of Babel story...But if we continue with the Septuagint ages, there is a glowing problem.... 2449 - Nahor Born 2628 - Terah Born 2698 - Abram Born (Abraham) Do you notice a couple things? Noah was not alive during the lifetime of Peleg. So the episode with his son Ham happened way before the Tower and his end of life blessing would have to have happened before the Tower of Babel. To me that is a problem, the Masoretic text has Noah very much alive during the lifetime of Peleg, making his end of life blessing to his sons in Genesis 9 so much more believable in what he said. This is not definitive proof against the Septuagint's ages, but it add big problems to the Genesis 9 story. But here comes the big blow to the Septuagint's ages and how they are in error. Did you notice how Terah was not even born during the time of Peleg. That means he could NOT have been in Babel during the Babel incident. But the end of Genesis 11, mentions him specifically leaving UR, which is in Babylon. In the Masoretic text, Terah is very much alive during the Tower story and he would have had to leave due to God breaking up the building and the city. It fits in the context of the Tower Story. But here's the final blow... There is this in the Book of Joshua: Joshua 24:2 2 And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, dwelt on the other side of the River in old times; and they served other gods. This is referring to what happened in the Tower of Babel story. But if Terah wasn't alive during the lifetime of Peleg, then how could he have been beyond the river and worhsiped other Gods? I believe this proves the ages in the Septuagint are incorrect and the Masoretic ages are correct. God Bless
@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 I admit I need to study this more, but the problem you speak of is only a problem IF the tower happened as you say at the end of pelegs life instead of the beginning. As I mentioned earlier about the naming of peleg, , the scriptures imply it was happening at the birth of peleg, otherwise Jacob would have been called Jacob after Laban instead of when he was born... all the other names work the same way when tied to events like Benjamin... with all the claims of the mesoritix text being tampered with, they would have had to do the tampering with the septuignt, too . God can keep his word pure I have no doubt, it's a matter of looking
@@ronallens6204 Your research is commendable. I will have to watch your video again in order to note the precise reference to age in the genealogy. Regardless of the motivation, there are serious descrepencies in the geneologies between the LXX and the Mesoretic, which most of the English translation are built upon. It would be a good thing to research this out yourself.
@steveunger8249 that I plan to do... even the jews know their time line is off over 200 years.. I have not really concerned myself with some areas of the scriptures as there is so much else to learn, but working My way around babbel in these videos it and the genealogies has peaqueed my interest with the hebrewisms... which I have to defer to others who know more than i.
Thank you for this video, and the insight it provides. I can tell you put in a lot of effort. I would suggest that much of your defense of the Masoretic timeline over the LXX is based on circular reasoning. I think Nathan Hoffman did a good job of demonstrating the multitude of problems that arise in ignoring the majority of witnesses in favor of a single late text in the following UA-cam video: ua-cam.com/video/VI1yRTC6kGE/v-deo.html Again, thank you for your new insights.
I tend to believe that the end of life blessing did happen during the time of Peleg, because his name does mean "in his days the earth was divided". Now the question comes about... Was he named prophetically (before the division) or as a token of remembrance to an event (after the division). His name literally means "earthquake"" (in translation of the Hebrew word according to Strong's). I tend to believe he was named "prophetically", as was Methuselah, and his name meaning "at his death comes the judgement (the flood)". In this light, I tend to believe that the demise of the tower of Babel was about A.M 1996 at the death of Peleg. During this time Abram was still living with Shem and Noah, which he had been doing since he was 10 years old, for about 39 years. Abram leaves Noah and Shem and goes to his father Terah's house at the age of 50 in A.M. 1998 (shortly after the death of Peleg, and after the tower had fallen, yet with enough time for Nimrod to re-establish his reign over the city of babel, whish was named that because babel means "confusion"). Nahor father of Terah dies in A.M. 1996-97, Haran the brother of Abram (son of Terah) dies in A.M. 1998 in the brick furnace of Nimrod, which he threw both Abram and Haran into. Abram lived, Haran died. This was shortly after Abram returned to his father's house where he destroyed his father's Idols, and in his anger Terah turns Abram over to Nimrod for judgement. This is just my own thoughts... A pattern that seems to appear throughout the bible... The people of God, following his ways often tend to name their children prophetically, looking ahead in faith. The people rebelling against God tend to name their children circumstantially, after events that transpired. I agree that Cush was the origin of rebellion, thus, his son Nimrod was named "rebellion" (named after the rebellious ways that were instituted through Cush, such as (the worship of the stars) So, concerning Cush being Nimrod, I have to disagree, as there are too many scriptural references that clearly state he is the son of Cush. Genesis 10:8 As well if Cush were Nimrod it would no longer fit into the timeline of Nimrod reigning over and taking counsel from his uncles on establishing the tower in Shinar, namely the city of Ur. Yes, Cush was a hunter, but also Nimrod following in his father's footsteps became a mighty hunter as well. I agree that Asshur built Ninevah etc... It was his allotment of land (from Noah's blessing) to do so, and another supporting argument for this was that later when Jonah is sent to Ninevah to preach repentance, it shows evidence of the kinship and inheritance under Shem, therefore the concern God had for Ninevah to repent. Which they did. Concerning Canaan, I believe he stole the land from under Abram when they were dispersed. Since Abram was staying with Noah and Shem, and being taught by them for 39 years of his life, and seemingly the only one interested in continuing the legacy of righteousness (since his father Terah was an idol worshipper and priest under Nimrod). This leads me to believe that Canaan's inheritance given by Noah was not the place he grabbed and lived in (which was the promised land), but was rather established under Ham's allotment. Thus, the reason God directed Abram and his descendants time and again to the land of Canaan to reclaim it. Abram ( Abraham) was the future, the new covenant. I believe that the "land of Canaan" was always intended to be Abrams inheritance from the time of Noah, and geographical evidence of this would be the question of why this strip of land would be carved out right in the most desirable territory of Shem's descendants? And additional note... The 120 years you are talking about were actually the 120 years that God gave the people to repent before he sent the flood. From the time Noah was prophesied to about the coming of the flood, there was 120 years until the death of Methuselah, and 7 days later the flood. I don't believe it was an edict concerning the physical lifespan of a man after the flood.
The Tower of Babel says the whole world was one and in one location, Shinar of what we think of now as Babylon. I think this is significant because of God's command to Noah and his sons, that they fill the earth. I do believe Noah was in Babylon during the Tower of Babel episode.
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 the epic of Gilgamesh is on them going up to (lord Aratta) which is Noah. Be sure he lived near Mt ararat. Because he wanted to get the secret to eternal life. Since he thought Noah wouldn't die. Cause he was 900 years old. Noah is in all those tablets with multiple names. (Upnapishtum) is also Noah. All those tablets are saying the bible story in their version. Utu is enlil. Which is Ham . aka the Sun god. The cylinder seal that you see Enlil standing in two twin peeks . Is to resemble that he was he's the king of the twin peeks of Ararat. At some point they threw Ham out of there. And he went south. Its too much to explain. But I researched this thoroughly. . The village of the 8 has a different name now but literally right down the mountains of Arat. Noah's altar is also there. Everything is there.
I believe they found what had good evidence for Noahs area he settled after the landing. Also an area called land of Decent. Armenians claim its was Noahs land and also had a coin with the ark on it.
Methuselah died 7 days before the flood started and God mourned his death for 7 days. he was a man of God so God would not kill him with the flood he died before the flood started. he was the son of the faithful Enoch.
Nimrod could be a real person and also not be counted as one of the 70 nations if he was executed for killing others before he had children. This seems to be what is portrayed in the pagan religions: Cush is the character of the false prophet promoting his son Nimrod as the messiah, the promised seed of the woman. Nimrod is executed for leading this rebellion, perhaps for beginning to execute those who refused to comply. His queen takes the religion "underground" and claims that Nimrod is reincarnated through her son, conceived after his death. The pagan mystery religions all treat Nimrod as a person, and Cush as his prophet. Genesis 10:9 treats Nimrod as a proper name. Otherwise it would say "He was a mighty hunter before the Lord, wherefore it is said, 'even as Cush the mighty hunter before the Lord.'" If Cush was the mighty hunter, and nimrod simply meant rebellion, Nimrod would not be called the mighty hunter in the very next verse.
Interesting. You are doing some big stuff here man. A lot of non Jews tend to ignore the way Jews analyze Hebrew extensively for clues. This feels likes very Jewish analysis of the Torah and I think that’s why these points are so strong.
Thank you for that incisive comment. I was helped along the way by a generous man, who had a PhD in Biblical Hebrew. I don't discount a traditional exegetical approach to interpretation, but I think it should be broader than just that. There is a deeper truth out there, and you have to use many different tools combined in discovering the truth. That's what I tried to do with the videos covering Genesis 9, 10 and 11. Thanks for watching, and God Bless you.
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 Absolutely! Too many disciplines are putting their head in their sand in denial of other disciplines validity! Too many religious folk will not account for archeology out of fear it will discount them (when in reality it supports them), and many academics refuse to even accept biblical etymology let alone context within the era! Archeologists will refuse to dig certain sites, and bias others. Cover up aspects of their discovered (the great step in the pyramid of giza a notable example). The ONLY way to accurately understand the Bible/Torah is a cross-discipline approach that takes sources in good faith, and uses cross-textual analysis to find the truth! I'm glad there are others out there with similar perspectives!
Indeed they ignore this... But then it isn't the tools of grammar and hermeneutics that lead you to truth. One needs the Holy Spirit to assist one in reading the texts. Judaists don't have access to this. They think they can resolve the issues without it and that 'being religious' or 'a good person' is sufficient to do so. That's why they always go into error. Although they can make points that are quite correct.
@@metapolitikgedanken612 The Holy Spirit is blasphemy, and has nothing to do with what Jesus preached. Stop that heathenry now. There is one god, perfectly unknowable.
@@giffica Actually, The Holy Spirit got everything to do with what Jesus preached (mind reading the Gospel texts?). If the heathens acknowledge there must be a Holy Spirit, than they are right. And God is knowable in various ways. Those that read scripture, how are they supposed to understand it, when the Holy Spirit doesn't show them the Truth first?

@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 Got to admit that I also wondered about why Ham's sons where mentioned, but Nimrod was mentioned separately. I thought he was a person, first, because there are also legends about such a person. Often this is however a deity or baby. So there may have been a person by that name... To my mind names like Mars, Marduk, and also words like murder, animals like marder come.

QUERY: If one takes the name Nimrod as a nickname for Cush, and the translation of Genesis 10:8 as "Cush brought forth rebellion", and Genesis 10:11 as "From that land, went forth Asshur ..."-how would this make the stories of Genesis 9,10,11 and the Tower of Babel more coherent?
RESPONSE: This is a fascinating question and shows that you have been deeply studying the biblical texts and their potential translations. Let's dive into this:
Firstly, the name Nimrod has been a subject of much study and speculation among biblical scholars. Some argue that it might be a derogatory term, rather than an actual name, playing off the Hebrew root for "rebel". If so, labeling this figure as "Cush brought forth rebellion" could underscore the notion of a descent into chaotic disobedience after the Flood.
If Cush and Nimrod are indeed the same person, some interpretational conflict might arise in Genesis 10:11 because following the Septuagint and Samaritan Pentateuch, the verse would read, "From that land (referring to Babylon/Shinar), Nimrod/Cush went into Assyria and built the cities". But in traditional Hebrew text, it's understood that Asshur (Assyria) went out of that land.
This alleged migration (if we use Septuagint and Samaritan Pentateuch) could be the beginning of the dispersion of peoples and languages - a direct prelude to the Tower of Babel story in Genesis 11. Also, it might add a darker connotation to the dispersal, associating it with rebellion and defiance against God's order, rather than a natural and neutral development of civilization.
It would also tie Genesis 9 and 10 more closely together. Genesis 9 ends with the chronicles of Noah's sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, from whom all post-Flood humanity descended. Ham was Cush's (and possibly Nimrod's) father, so taking the name Nimrod as a nickname for Cush would effectively make the transition from the family narrative to the cities narrative more seamless.
Yet while these interpretations could provide coherence, it must be remembered that they require speculation and extrapolation beyond the text's plain meaning. The ambiguities in the original language and differences among textual traditions, along with historical and cultural contexts, require more detailed and comprehensive study. Biblical interpretation requires a delicate balance of using linguistic, historical and cultural tools, while recognizing our own limitations and potential biases.
I'm saving this forever.
There is so much information just in the 1st 5 minutes.

Very well done, thank you! I did indeed enjoy this video
Here's another cool thing I learned from Messiah 2030 about Lamech's death at 777 years. Yes, it may have been to spare him from the flood, but why 777? His son Noah's name means "rest". Thematically, rest comes from 777. Jesus is going to return at the start of the 7th day (1000 year millennial reign) in the 7th month (which is when the Feast of Trumpets always is) on the 7th day Sabbath. This only occurs once in history, and it is coming soon. Then, our rest is coming from /on 777. Peace!

VERY INTERESTING 💥
At 26:34, Adam apparently had Seth at 230, not 130. The Masoretic had 130, but it was altered after Jesus died to deny his being the Messiah. 230 years is in the original and reflected in the Septuagint. There are over 600 years missing from the Masoretic text.
I just went through the Septuagint dates and added the larger years to each descendant. I have problems with the Septuagint ages, I think the Masoretic text is correct based on context. But here it goes....
This is years after creation(Feel free to do this yourself to see if I'm right)
1656 - Flood
1658 - Arphaxad Born
1793 - Salah Born
1923 - Eber Born
2006 - Noah Died
Genesis 10:
25 To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided;
Most scholars believe this means when the Tower of Babel was dispersed by God and the people were separated into their individual lands of their families. I agree with this take, the lifetime of Peleg marks the dispersal of the Tower of Babel. So let's see where the Septuagint ages take us to the possible time of the Tower Story.
2057 - Peleg Born
2158 - Shem Died
2187 - Reu Born
2193 - Arphaxad Died
2253 - Salah Died
2319 - Serug Born
2327 - Eber Died
2396 - Peleg Died
That's it for the time of the possible Tower of Babel story...But if we continue with the Septuagint ages, there is a glowing problem....
2449 - Nahor Born
2628 - Terah Born
2698 - Abram Born (Abraham)
Do you notice a couple things? Noah was not alive during the lifetime of Peleg. So the episode with his son Ham happened way before the Tower and his end of life blessing would have to have happened before the Tower of Babel. To me that is a problem, the Masoretic text has Noah very much alive during the lifetime of Peleg, making his end of life blessing to his sons in Genesis 9 so much more believable in what he said. This is not definitive proof against the Septuagint's ages, but it add big problems to the Genesis 9 story. But here comes the big blow to the Septuagint's ages and how they are in error.
Did you notice how Terah was not even born during the time of Peleg. That means he could NOT have been in Babel during the Babel incident. But the end of Genesis 11, mentions him specifically leaving UR, which is in Babylon. In the Masoretic text, Terah is very much alive during the Tower story and he would have had to leave due to God breaking up the building and the city. It fits in the context of the Tower Story.
But here's the final blow... There is this in the Book of Joshua:
Joshua 24:2
2 And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, dwelt on the other side of the River in old times; and they served other gods.
This is referring to what happened in the Tower of Babel story. But if Terah wasn't alive during the lifetime of Peleg, then how could he have been beyond the river and worhsiped other Gods? I believe this proves the ages in the Septuagint are incorrect and the Masoretic ages are correct. God Bless
@JRJohnson1701..
HINT.... For the Pre-flood ages forget using the MT or the LXX.
Use the Samaritan Pentateuch and Jubilees and Josephus (but for Joe you gotta dig into appendix... and you'll find he confirms). All three are the same. All pre-date any Christian and Jewish desire to alter the timelines Pre & Post flood. Keep looking and you'll even find scattered support in other extra biblical writings all over the place.
Good exploring.
God Bless.
This is good !
thank you.
I don’t think that the flood is what killed Methuselah. I think perhaps God waited for the natural death of Methuselah before sending the flood on the Earth.
That is a very fair point, since he did live out a lifespan similar to the other generations in that genealogy. I had thought him dying in the same year as the flood was strong circumstantial proof, that is why I said probably. But your point about God waiting until his death makes more sense, this is just like Lamech dying at 777 years, 5 years before the flood. Thanks for the input James and I think you're right. God Bless
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 There is also the thought that Methuselah's name means "his death shall bring it" or something similar. Jude 1:14 mentions that Enoch (his father) made prophecies. So, there is the thought that Methuselah's name functioned as a prophecy showing God's grace - God gave the people the longest human life-span (Methuselah's) to repent and turn to Him, but they didn't. So in that view, he died in the year of the flood, but his death preceded it - ushering it in. Just thought I'd share that alternative view. Enjoyed the video
@@RuskinClay It was not a central focus of the video, but I think you are both right. I do think the taking of Enoch is key to pre-flood understanding of that time, because he was prophesying as noted in Jude. Of course adding that knowledge to the death of Methuselah(his son) in the same year as the flood, does indeed suggest the flood came after his full lifetime was lived out.(which is supported by his name) You and James above gave me a fresh look at that detail and I am edified. Thanks, iron sharpens iron. God Bless
Either we are building a huge house of cards on some radical new thinking or YAHWEH is pouring out great new understanding through you. “YAHWEH guide us! In the Name of YASHUA… amen.” Happy second Sabbath/Feast of Trumpets.
I like this?! I will try to take your advice to make use of tools new and used to connect and provide revelatory understanding through the Holy Spirit when I do my MA Theological Studies.
Abosuletly great in depth video ...God bless you for sharing important information like this with us....
This is a truly bless person in this video.
It is amazing how intelligent many people are when it comes to scriptures.
Nonetheless I love Jesus and the father that sent him and I know it is not Yahweh . and I know the story of why Adam was left alone by lilith .
And you know how that the Tower of Babel was in the land of Shinar which is nowhere near Egypt.
yes this is a pretty exhaustive study
I find these videos interesting and enlightening. Who is the speaker on these videos and what are his qualifications and backround?
Hi Robert,
Here’s my story. I was born into the Christian faith. Although I never doubted the existence of God or Jesus, they were never part of my life in any meaningful way. I was like most, I made rationalizations like I hadn’t killed or raped, therefore “I was a good Christian.” I never knew there was so much more to it.
It wasn’t until personal issues and a family tragedy made me seek answers from God. And I found them. I felt drawn to and came back to church although I was never really part of it. I describe my coming to Christ as a conversion experience, since that is what it felt like. Within 6 months of starting this process, I surrendered my life to Christ, and vowed to be His servant.
Now until coming to Christ, I had never read the bible nor did I ever take any bible study. I was a blank slate. Initially I struggled reading the bible, my family will tell you how hard it was for me. It was large and complicated, the totality of it was intimidating. But I kept reading it, especially Genesis my favorite Book. I found if you keep reading a book over and over again, you will see things you missed before. I guess that is the beautiful dual meaning of the Living Word, the more you read it the more you get out of it.
And as I kept reading it, it started to click and make sense. The parallels are what drew me in, from the OT to the NT. (The Divine Helper Video was the first connection I saw) I was astonished that Books written by different authors over a thousand years apart, could fit together perfectly. I knew that only God could be behind these complex parallels. And that is what started me on my way. I have taken numerous bible studies and also attended bible institute for general biblical knowledge. I have also taken over a hundred biblical Hebrew lessons, including one on one lessons from a gentlemen with a PHD in Biblical Hebrew. I have not studied Koine Greek in anyway except to look up things online.
I hope I don’t come across as arrogant, but I think these connections are coming from God. They even work outside of the bible too. I can only say these parallels will be the way to unravel the deeper mysteries of God. There is so much more coming from the channel. I think I know what is coming in the next few years, and since this is coming from God, He wants me to warn people about the dangers. I hadn’t thought of myself as an end times preacher, but I am focusing on end times since I think the bad stuff in the bible is about to happen. I want to help people through the ordeals, including the great delusion Paul talked about. Adam and Eve knew they were disobeying God, when sin entered the world, although Eve said she was deceived. The videos are my way of warning people was is about to come.
I really am a nobody, just someone who reads the bible all day long looking for these connections and parallels. I think it has helped, that I was that blank slate, so no one’s preconceptions would steer me away from the deeper truth. I will occasionally watch other’s videos to see what is out there, but I find most don’t get it from the “parallel” angle that I see it from.
There’s so much more to my story, but that is a general summary of it. God Bless
Thank you for the information. I have a chemical engineering degree but no formal education in biblical studies. I am a 69 year old retiree who began a more intensive Bible study in retirement.
I asked for and received a study Bible for my 16th birthday in a July. I spent the summer reading the Bible from beginning to end. I noticed a lot of "odd" passages as I read. My studies continued in a haphazard fashion throughout my life, including a couple more read-throughs.
Of special interest to me were the passages about the Nephilim/giants, archangels, seraphim and other spiritual beings which the church tends to ignore. I felt as though there were "hidden stories" in the Bible which were not hidden at all, but I did not have the skills to ferret them out.
About 20 years ago, I ran across the scholarship of Dr. Michael S. Heiser who was doing scholarship in the areas of my interest. While I sometimes disagree with his theology, I have been enlightened by his biblical scholarship. We engineers are as comfortable arguing about engineers as lawyers are about the law. So a theological disagreement is no problem for me. I am a Lutheran. Dr. Heiser is an Evangelical. So what? as long as the scholarship is sound.
I have a similar reaction to your scholarship. Your explanation of Genesis 9-11 has impressed me. It strikes me as a logical explanation of a confusing story. I have begun yet another read-through/study of the Bible and got stuck on these chapters. So thanks.
I like to be able to describe any source that I reference to others which was the motivation for my first comment.
Well done. I would like to note that Jesus came teaching and referencing that man would not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds fromt he mouth of God. God provides the TRUE MANNA from heaven. We have no need to fear physical food loss and hunger in these last days. It is all spiritual...FIND JESUS, FOLLOW JESUS, and do not eat food sacrificed to idols. Blessings to all.
It is called Man, from our word Pan (bread), using M for Mystery bread, what is it? They said. [Bible of the Bear]
Hi, I'm not making the connection here.
@@gloriosatierra
Interesting work. One odd thing, is that he says Terah worshipped idols, then lumps him in with Nahor and Peleg as being hunted down by the star worshippers...
O Brother In Christ, WOW I love your presentation. I pray your YOM TR'RUA was blessed this 2023rd year of our lord and Savior ... How blessed I was to find your presentation on You Tube!
.. some people might call your presentation deep...However, I might refer to your presentation as TRUTH....as in what went before was not a lie but it was so obscured that its meaning was lost...finding that meaning ,I believe, is what Jesus meant by finding the TRUTH... and I also believe that kind of study should be an imperative in all churches (and even personal study). Regarding this Video,I also made a table of birth and death of the Patriarchs ... I named it Year of Adam (as in I don't actually know the date of creation but I am pretty certain of Adams age.... I refer to it as YOA (Year of Adam -using Adam as a datum reference for the Genealogical Time table of the patriarchs) I was kind of surprised that the birth and death dates I had were identical to yours (that kind of validation is very rare on the internet -lol ...and that has (once again) reinforced my confidence in the Lords Bible -thank you! ...Now a question about the date of the Fall of the Tower of Babel ? IF PELEG was named for the fall of Babylon would that not indicate that the fall happened either before or at the time of his birth? Ergo, why he was named PELEG? Seems unusual to name someone after the event / cause of his death? (1996) (is it possible that he was named posthumously ?? other wise, would he not have been named closer to his Birth date? ... Since that kind of fits the Hebrew pattern (many of the Patriarchs were named either for an event that was going on at there birth or what was going to take place in their life -later ...and if necessary if there was a covenant level event in that persons life, their name would be changed for it?.... There fore I kind of guessed Bable fell on or before Pelegs birth (1750?) ...and there fore he was named for that happened at his birth and his life represented that time.... However, I thought it was interesting that EBER is the 14th Generation of Man... the 7 Pattern seems to always have something interesting to it... 7 - Enoch 14 - Eber (during his life Babel fell) 21-Ishmael and Issac (& covenant of Circumcision) 28- Tabernacle completed 35- Solomon's Temple Completed 49 - Return from captivity 60 = messiah (12X5 = 60 & 12-5 = 7).... I know there is a little fuzzy math in there ... for the counting of Generations ...and the Math for Christ generation is based on the Sumerian number system based on "12"s ..... I might guess you have this in a video else where ? .... Please keep up the good Work! Prayers for your ministry and personally I thank you for the gentle and intelligent character that you have -I makes so much difference vs the adversarial contention on a lot of the Internet.
Jesus Christ was the 77th generation.... look more.... I'm glad to see the interest and love . keep going.
Good job!!! Don’t forget the land of Nod east of Eden.
That was destroyed in the flood.
Where Cain found a wife.
Do you have a website? Trying to discern who you are (name, creds) butt can't find it. Intriguing approach. Want to learn more.
I had a website at first, but it went away so all my focus would be on videos. A few others have asked about my background and credentials, I hope you don't mind if I copied from another reply.
My name is Randy. It has been on my earlier videos, but I decided to remove it in order to embrace the full gospel of Jesus Christ. John the Baptist said it was his duty to have less of him and more of Jesus. I am merely trying to apply that in this ministry, so that is why I no longer list my name in the credits. Feel free to call me Randy.
Background: I am a devout Christian, Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I do not wish to give my denomination, as I'm an ecumenical person and am vexed at the division in God's church we see today. Anyone that professes that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior is my brother and sister in Christ. I tend to steer away from theology debates as I see that seems to cause division in the church. My sole focus is to interpret the bible based on a whole bible approach and also applying it in a different way. Through the lens of parallels and the connections we see from Old Testament to the New Testament. The Apostle Paul talked about these as lessons we should learn from. I believe God is trying to communicate to us through these parallels, as what is to come. And that is the focus on this ministry.
Although I always believed in God, I truly came to Christ about 7-8 years ago and surrendered my life to Him. It was at that point, that I started voraciously reading the bible, sometimes over 12 hours per day. It has become my whole life. These connections always jumped out at me and I seemed to just "get it". I do not have any fancy degree in biblical studies. The classes I have taken to help going deeper in my knowledge is too countless to mention. I am open to what other people say. But I think that my take seems to be a little bit different from others is because I am a blank slate and have no preconceptions as to what the scriptures say based on what others say. I'm simply okay with standing apart from other scholars, I stand by the parallels and I believe that is how to interpret the scriptures.
I have not claimed to be any kind of expert on Koine Greek language. I do not claim to be an expert in Hebrew, but have taken hundreds of classes on interpreting Biblical Hebrew. Including too numerous to mention, some from a very generous man with a PhD in Biblical Hebrew that taught me Hebrew in one on one lessons.
Basically, no fancy degree, just a desire to come at the Bible from a different angle. I'm a nobody, but I take solace that our Lord Jesus choose nobodies as well to deliver His message to the world. I do try in my videos to offer advice to help the watcher to be able to discern things for themselves and even understand my thought patterns in how I came up with the conclusions that I arrived at.
I believe that we are entering a period that Jesus called the beginning of sorrows, and my latest focus is on end time connections. All my next videos coming will be addressing end time events. I am trying to help anyone navigate this fallen world and get through Satan's deceptions.
I hope I answered your questions about my background, feel free to ask me anything. God Bless
Really thorough biblical connections being made. I am a missionary and some of the topics discussed I hadn’t heard since the paper writing days of college. I love the various thought lines and that you use scripture to interpret scripture so thank you and keep that up! Provoke your viewers to study the Word of God and not just listen to the sermons of others. The Scriptures are a pure lens that shows humanity in true light, they don’t sanitize human beings and don’t make humans infallible. To all viewers don’t be critics just be like the Bareans (open minded, eager to learn and verifying by searching the scriptures) Acts 17:11.
Very interesting! Thank you for the well laid out study. I had come to the same conclusion about Ham and his son Canaan. However, I disagree about Nimrod. The way he is described in Gen 10:8 as a "gibor" seems to suggest he had the giant genetics. And why is it written differently that Cush 'begat" him after he had grandsons? Something seems different about him. Also your linking the three phases of his kingdom that manifest on the earth was very helpful to understanding end time events. I look forward to more of your research.
Haran died in Ur. Abraham's brother Haran sees what happened and says that he believes in the God of Abraham. Haran is thrown into the fire, and is not saved by God. Hence the verse in Genesis 11:28, “And Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.”
Excellent study and interpretation!
Congratulations brother.
God bless you.
Did you go back to the original text on these dates. I believe if you do, you will be able to add several hundred more years.
I'm onboard with this. It makes the puzzle pieces fit so much more rediscently. but idk how to make it work that Nimrod was Cush's youngest son and all that it goes into to describe how Cush gave the clothing that God made for Adam and Eve , which Cham stole from Noah his father and all the things written about Nimrod. Should I substitute Nimrod with Cham in every instance? So to say Cham was the first King over men?
The video series presented suggest Nimrod is Cush. And Nimrod was created as an alter-ego of Cush. Cush would be the first king recorded in the bible in the Tower of Babel episode. He would be the the first King out of the sea of Daniel 7. Cush was a mighty hunter and the first beast was a lion, so it fits.
How could Methusala be killed by the flood when his name means his death shall bring? He died THEN the flood stsrted.
Others have brought that up as well. I do believe you are correct. God Bless
Septuigent has different dates from Arphaxad to Abraham.

120 years wasn't a cap on human life. It was the duration until the flood.
It is also prophetic. 120 years is the limit of God's contending with man in his sinful state. 120 X a Jubilee cycle of 50 is 6000. Jesus is going to return again 6000 years after Adam's sin to do away with sin. It's coming soon...

Shalom thanks great job. I like the kind of Bible you used. What’s the name please. Thanks 🙏🏽
I'm partial to the NKJV version. I use it on most of my videos.
I will sometimes use other translations when I feel the translation might be off on the Hebrew. God Bless
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 wow. Please l mean the bible that has the Hebrew and English you used to analysing it
Thanks
@@nuekfamily7982 That's a interlinear bible translation fro Biblehub.com. It's very useful in study. God Bless
When Ham was disowned , his name would have changed for being disowned. The question would then become when did Noah find out.. it's possible Ham was disowned right after the event and Noah raised Canaan as his son as implied, and by the time of the cursing, Canaan had show he was following in his father's footsteps.
If this was a power play by Ham against his father, then I theorize he would have known right away. And the rebellion by Ham and his family during the Tower of Babel incident would come right after that.
I've got the cursing of Canaan by Noah to be a servant to Shem and Japheth, to add meaning he was serving his brother Cush in the rebellion against God at the Tower. The meaning of the names behind his first two sons adds to this understanding.
God Bless
Wasn't Japheth the 1st born and was he rebellious because Noah favored Shem? Just curious.
7:30 am why was Nimrod included as a son of Cush if it was just a word meaning rebellion or Nimrod and Cush were the same
He's taken away in the list after that.
Ok thank you
Nahor was 79, not 29, according to two witnesses (Septuagint, Samaritan Pentateuch), as we are told in the NT to judge by.
Agree.
Why is Japheth even mentioned in Shem's decendents when speaking about Eber?
Really good question, I addressed that in the video about what Ham did to Noah. It's the first video in a 3 part series. It's very telling that only Japheth and Shem are mentioned as brothers in Genesis 10. Ham must have done something really bad to not be mentioned as a brother.
Wow that is a lot of info... Probably took you ten or fifteen minutes to put all this together.... Lol.....thanks for sharing all your hard work.... Thank you Jesus
Wow , what a kook you are.
That Cush is Nimrod is new to me. Any other sources that proves this?
Watch my video on Identifying Nimrod, I go through the Hebrew in that video.
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680Hi, I think because people aren't generally Hebrew experts ita very difficult to come to the conclusion that you are a 100% correct whether you are or not. Do you believe this is something you could be challenged on or get another opunion on or do you believe you have nailed it? We people are dependent on you teachers to get it right. Sending this in love ❤
Great work on this 3 part really enjoyed it.
Just one thing though, your timeline is off by about 650 years since the Masoretic text cut some years off Abraham's ancestors in order to say Shem is Melchizedek.
This video has a nice breakdown of it at starting at around 4 minutes ua-cam.com/video/VI1yRTC6kGE/v-deo.html
Confirmed:
QUESTION: Examine Genesis 10:11 in Hebrew. Could this be translated as, "From that land, went forth Asshur ..."
RESPONSE: The start of Genesis 10:11 in the Hebrew Bible reads as follows: "מִן-הָאָרֶץ הַהִוא, יָצָא אַשּׁוּר". The literal translation of this usually is: "From that land went forth Asshur," or, in another common variant, "Out of that land went forth Asshur." So, yes, your translation is correct. The key here is that "Asshur" is a proper noun being used to denote a place (Assyria) or, in some contexts, a person (the ancestor of the Assyrians).
Masoretic is the corrupted text that I was referring to, the texts that were before Christ are the correct texts you need to look at for the lifespans you are talking about. Septuagint and the Latin Vulgate are the two that have not been altered I believe. I will listen to your post when you have corrected this error.

Very interesting. Even though I am not 100% on the same page, it is difficult to refute what you have said. I created a timeline and genealogy during lockdown. One thing I discovered, is that there is a discrepancy between the different translations of the Bible LXX adds 100 to each of the birth years to the line of Shem in Genesis 11. I never truly resolved this issue.
The other thing that I differed on, and I think your explanation makes sense, was the timing of the dispersion, and the end of life blessing of Noah. If you are correct, then what you say makes more sense to the conclusion I came to.
The other issue that I do not think was addressed, was the lifespan of Abraham. Or at least the timing of his birth. This seems to differ depending on the reading. According your plain reading, yes, Noah was alive, but according to my understanding of Acts 7, no.
Interesting video though, and food for thought.
THE FACT THAT CANAAN DID A DESPICABLE ACT TO NOAH IS THE REASON WHY CANAAN WAS MENTIONED PROPHETICALLY AND NOT DUE TO LAND SETTLEMENTS THAT SONS AND GRANDSONS OF NOAH WOULD NATURALLY TAKE POSSESSION OF DUE TO GOD'S COMMANDMENT TO SPREAD OUT IN THE LAND THAT WOULD BE BINDING UPON ALL OF THOSE THAT WOULD MAKE UP NOAH'S GRANDCHILDREN
BIG MISUNDERSTANDING WHEN IT COMES TO CANAAN BEING NOAH'S SON - THEY DID NOT USE THE TERM GRANDSON AS WE USE TODAY TO IDENTIFY THE SONS OF A FATHER - THEY SIMPLY CONTINUED USING THE TERM SON - THAT IS WHY JESUS IS CALLED THE SON OF DAVID: " The book of the history of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham:" Matthew 1:1 EVEN THOUGH BEING 42 GENERATIONS REMOVED. THEREFORE THE REFERENCE TO NOAH BEING THE FATHER OF CANAAN IS NOT DUE TO A RAPE THAT MADE NOAH CANAAN'S FATHER
I agree with the XLL timeline
I just went through the Septuagint dates and added the larger years to each descendant. I have problems with the Septuagint ages, I think the Masoretic text is correct based on context. But here it goes....
This is years after creation(Feel free to do this yourself to see if I'm right)
1656 - Flood
1658 - Arphaxad Born
1793 - Salah Born
1923 - Eber Born
2006 - Noah Died
Genesis 10:
25 To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided;
Most scholars believe this means when the Tower of Babel was dispersed by God and the people were separated into their individual lands of their families. I agree with this take, the lifetime of Peleg marks the dispersal of the Tower of Babel. So let's see where the Septuagint ages take us to the possible time of the Tower Story.
2057 - Peleg Born
2158 - Shem Died
2187 - Reu Born
2193 - Arphaxad Died
2253 - Salah Died
2319 - Serug Born
2327 - Eber Died
2396 - Peleg Died
That's it for the time of the possible Tower of Babel story...But if we continue with the Septuagint ages, there is a glowing problem....
2449 - Nahor Born
2628 - Terah Born
2698 - Abram Born (Abraham)
Do you notice a couple things? Noah was not alive during the lifetime of Peleg. So the episode with his son Ham happened way before the Tower and his end of life blessing would have to have happened before the Tower of Babel. To me that is a problem, the Masoretic text has Noah very much alive during the lifetime of Peleg, making his end of life blessing to his sons in Genesis 9 so much more believable in what he said. This is not definitive proof against the Septuagint's ages, but it add big problems to the Genesis 9 story. But here comes the big blow to the Septuagint's ages and how they are in error.
Did you notice how Terah was not even born during the time of Peleg. That means he could NOT have been in Babel during the Babel incident. But the end of Genesis 11, mentions him specifically leaving UR, which is in Babylon. In the Masoretic text, Terah is very much alive during the Tower story and he would have had to leave due to God breaking up the building and the city. It fits in the context of the Tower Story.
But here's the final blow... There is this in the Book of Joshua:
Joshua 24:2
2 And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, dwelt on the other side of the River in old times; and they served other gods.
This is referring to what happened in the Tower of Babel story. But if Terah wasn't alive during the lifetime of Peleg, then how could he have been beyond the river and worhsiped other Gods? I believe this proves the ages in the Septuagint are incorrect and the Masoretic ages are correct. God Bless
Very fascinating. I honestly have not done a deep dive into Septuagint. I also have not studied Greek, so heavily reliant on Strongs. There are other areas where the Septuagint altered numerical details, so I would tend to agree with you. I almost want to take my notes on the timeline out again and continue that study I did. I got as far a Judges and kings, but got lost in the detail.@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680
Terah was 130 when he had Abram. Abram was 75 when he left Haran, and he left when his father died (at age 205). So, 130 years.
Agree
You really REALLY need to use some sould absorption in your recoding room... it would not take many sound proofing panels (even diy or cardboard egg trays) to take the tin ringing out of your audio.
Not only did the ancient people have a common language; they had a common dialect!
Your work feels more like your own interpretation rather than clarity.
This ministry is adopting a new type of methodology. I first started to see connections looking from the NT back to the OT. But somewhere along I asked myself, why can't you do the same thing the other way around? Then I started to use parallels and instead of just looking backward to see connections, it's applying the parallels in a forward way of thinking. The Apostle Paul talked about how to use the example of God's first people the Israelites, as an example of what not to do.
I believe that God is coordinating a story of repeated parallels in order for humanity to figure out the righteous path towards Him. If you can keep an open mind that I could be right, then keep watching my channel and videos, the connections are everywhere in every story.Yes, I can do this in every story in the bible, there is another larger story that God is trying to tell. I believe God is behind these connections.
I know its new and will be difficult for many to accept, but its bible based. And just keep an open mind it could be coming from God.
I see a lot of parallel things in the Bible in the form of an analogy. It seems like in your instance you try and make things fit your narrative. The Bible was not given for a private interpretation, I fear that is what you may be doing.
@@750SonyP Feel free to watch the videos on this channel. The parallels are everywhere. And I can do this with every single story in the Bible. Every one.
God is saying something bigger is happening at the same time as the surface level of each story. There's a dual purpose in everything God does. He operates on multiple levels of understanding.
I think this is coming from God. Even if you are skeptical, just keep watching with an open mind that its possible I'm right and this is God-breathed.
And the only way to tell if God is not speaking through someone is that they are wrong about anything. That's it, I cannot be wrong about anything. It's a high bar to clear. That's how certain I am. And if it turns out I'm wrong about anything, then I'll do a video saying so and my ministry will change. Until then I'll continue my path that I believe is coming from God.
Did you know that in the Septuagint Genesis 10:11 starts with, "ἐκ τῆς γῆς ἐκείνης ἐξῆλθεν Ασσουρ", which translates as, "Out of that land Asshur went out"?
Yes and the King James has it correct also. But many translations have it wrong. In retrospect maybe I could have cited some of the translations being right.
I see. It looks like all the older translations had the Asshur form, and then about the time of the English Revised Version, the newer translations started using the he/Assyria form. But, this makes so much sense. Many of the kings of Assyria took Asshur as part of their name, like Asshur-Nirari for example, because it was the land of Asshur. Also, when Isis / Semiramis fled from Shem, she went to Assyria and gave birth to Horus / Gilgamesh by Asshur showing that he supported her because he had been part of the rebellion at Babel.
It is from my studies that I believe scripture teaches that Noah's sons all had their settlements prior to the event of the tower call babel. It was Ham's descendants who rebelled and built the tower. How else would the pure language of Hebrew have survived that event? In my humble opinion. Yes, all the earth was of one language, but it doesn't say all the earth was gathered at that place!
Jesus was in the grave for 3 days and 3 nights. No partial days. Matthew 12:40: "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." He road into Jerusalem on a donkey on the Sabbath (Saturday), was judged for 4 days (Sat-Tue). Tuesday was the last supper with leavened bread. Judas betrayed him Tuesday evening (beginning of preparation day), He was judged and crucified on preparation day (Wed evening). He died and was placed in the grave right at Passover. Then he was in the grave for 3 days and 3 nights. Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Just prior to the end of Sabbath on Saturday (Sat evening) he rose again. Mary came to the garden the first day of the week (Sunday right after the end of Sabbath). The Sunday within the week of the Feast of Unleavened Bread is First Fruits. This is when Jesus told Mary not to touch him because he had to ascend to his father (John 20:17). He presented the first fruits of the resurrection to his father when he ascended (see Matthew 27: 52,53 regarding saints coming out of the graves and many people seeing them walk around Jerusalem). Then he appeared to the rest of the disciples and was seen and touched by many for 40 days.
They took Him down from the cross early in the evening and buried him. He arose very early in the morning on the third day. Could not have been in the tomb 72 hours.
Wednesday evening just before sunset, rose Saturday evening at sunset.@@ChrisG-cy2om
You count Nimrod as a descendant of Cush. Why is that, if Nimrod is a verb?

Arphaxad, Salah, Eber, Peleg, and Reu all had a hundred years dropped from the ages they bore their sons in the Masoretic; this is seen if you compare the Septuagint, Samaritan Pentateuch, and Josephus to the Masoretic. You should add another 500 years to this timeline at 37:26. The reason this was done is so that Shem could be claimed to be Melchizedek, and the priesthood would then only come through the Levites, and Melchizedek would be a Levite, not a new, higher priest as the Christians claimed in the book of Hebrews of Jesus.
That MAY be true is shem is melchizedek... to me, shem does not qualify

@JRJohnson1701 - Yes you are on to it.
Another big stumbling block for many is the timing of the flood.
You figured that one out yet ?
Hint it certainly isn't 1656 after creation ... lol.
There were NO levitecal priesthood until Aaron , and no levites until Jacob was married to Leah
@matthewaislabie7354 all you need donis count the years from creation to the death of Metheusila... that was when the flood happened... it's a no brainer
I didnt know that Canaan was the son of ham through Noah's wife , that's sound bad, if that's true he was very rebel
Yes, in the video titled, "What happened between Noah and his son Ham", it is detailed from the bible. Thanks for watching, God Bless
I think you should add Ezekiel 9:4 in your parallels.
That's a good one. I was planning to do a whole video about that one. It's a great foreshadow of the mark of the beast and being marked for God if you include chapter 8 as well. So many more videos to make. Thanks for the insightful comment, it's in my queue of videos to make. God Bless
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 I'm just wondering, if the figures mentioned in Genesis 1 to 11 can be rediscovered in the legend and mythology of nations... Essentially pointing back to it. Also, whether the names of patriarchs can be found back in the names of nations, tribes, etc. Apparently there are instances of this, but the evidences aren't that definite. There are similarities in the mythologies, especially the origin stories. Surveying this and producing a concise result could help to indicate that there is a common origin to Noah and the scenario pointed out in the deluge.
@@metapolitikgedanken612 I also had similar thoughts about the original of myths. Were they whole cloth fiction? Or did they start out with a truth and embellish from there to fit into the culture desired?
I do think they started out with a kernel of truth. I'm thinking about Gilgamesh. Scholarly opinion has Moses took the story of Gilgamesh and fit it into Genesis. But maybe it was the other way around. There was the oral story of the flood told through the generations and the Gilgamesh tale was their version of a real flood.
I'm a biblical fundamentalist, so I give God's word preference and try to fit the myths into the history of the bible.
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680
My question coming up with the text was: What did Noah teach his sons? After all, they must have spend some really long time together. It is plausible that Noah taught his sons:
* About creation and the history including the deluge, which they experienced themselves.
* Prophetic knowledge about the coming law, coming savior and the 'last things' of the world.
* Facts about the nature of God, nature of man, nature of creation etc.
Now I don't think the sons and their descendants penned that down. At least not completely. But they would have memorized this. Since they are Flesh and not Spirit, they'd however be confused to some extend and while passing it on the story would have getting garbled, lost elements and perhaps also added elements. It's a bit like the telephone game or rumors spreading. It gets embellished and changed while being passed on and processed in people's memory. Even if on puts in a truthful account, expect distortion to come out. There is also a factor of interpretation and people interpret as it suits them, as it 'makes sense' to them. Consider the factor of sin (imperfection) as well... This comes with 'cultural entropy'.
The theory that "Moses Copied from Egyptians, Chaldeans, Assyrians", etc. sounds plausible on face value, since their 'myths' are considered to be older than the Moses text. This does however not explain the high degree of coherence and plausibility in Genesis, Exodus, etc. Neither is the text 'self-serving' as the typical pagan legend is. In fact the text sketches realistic people with personal flaws, even wickedness and doesn't try to aggrandize the leaders or the people it writes about. When discussing the topic I tell people that the OT / Moses books aren't a "Hebrew Hagiography", quite to the contrary it makes clear that Abraham and posterity received grace from God *undeservedly*. They got it not because they were good and great, but despite not being exactly that. So text is quite apart from the various other ancient texts. My challenge: What does this say about the credibility of the text? I'd say it adds to the credibility.
Among ancient religion scholars it's of course fashionable to be 'critical' of the 'biblical text. It's kind of expected of them by their colleagues, if they don't want to be classed as 'religious nutters', 'bible thumpers', 'old-fashioned', 'unenlightened' or whatever. That's why the outcomes and their statements will be skewed.
I'm more familiar with Norse/Germanic mythology. And it is full of 'christian' themes in it. In fact this has also been noticed by scholarly circles already in the 19th century. Their 'explanation' was that this must have been from missionaries who also recorded the poems and prose of the edda. But for what purpose? Suggestion is that they tried to fool the people. Mmh, do they seriously believe that too much deviation from the traditional poems wouldn't be noticed by the people of those cultures? So while I don't dispute bias on the side of those recording, the thesis that they essentially did rewrite the legends, poems, prose to fit a 'Christian Narrative' isn't too convincing. There is also the problem that of the 'Christian Themes' have equivalents in other culture. So to rewrite all the mythologies would have required central coordination and perhaps mind control of all those doing recording and also those that possibly could have reviewed it. So it's more a thing of 'we don't want the heathen mythology to affirm Christianity'.
My view is that scripture is 'reliable testimony' and authoritative record to form a basis by which doctrines and teachings can be tested. Jesus Christ is 'God's Word', hence calling the bible 'God's word' is a bit problematic and can be misleading. And well, God the Father is the final authority. The texts become their value by reading it with the Holy Spirit. Otherwise one will go on false trails there.
@@metapolitikgedanken612 Approaching this from a logical sequence of events is understandable, I do get it. But I look at the end result. Have you ever studied the structural aspect of how the stories and the Books of the Bible are written? For example a chiastic structure? There's more to it, but that is one example.
There is a precise nature of how the structure of the stories and books are written, that goes beyond anything that man could come up with.(especially since all the books have it) If the stories were just fuzzy recollections of oral stories then there could not be any kind of precise structure to it. And it all fits together in a perfect pattern of balance from beginning to end.
Plus add in the concentration of my channel, the connections and parallels of the bible. Which encompasses the 40 different authors of the bible and spans thousands of years of writings that fit together perfectly. Like a hand in a glove. That is what inspired me on my way to believe in the inerrant Word of God from the Books of the Bible. There is no way that man could connect so many different Books together to tell such a linear story with the same repeating parallels or connections. You just have to watch my videos to see it from my perspective.
We both believe in God. I approach the whole bible as a way for God to communicate history to us in order for us to be able to learn from it. Because it is "His Story". I don't think there is a word or a comma out of place, there is no way God would let His story become flawed in anyway. Everything there is for both educational and instructional purposes. The Apostle Paul talked about this from the standpoint of us learning from the mistakes of the Israelites, or God first chosen people. This is why God uses situations and events that happen over and over again. This is building to Man's last test by God. To see if we have the faith that He was seeking all along from Adam and starting over with Abraham and God's chosen people.
Yes, Jesus Christ is the Word of God. But before Abraham was, Jesus said "I am". An unmistakable reference to Jesus being God Himself. He was always there from the beginning. So when God went down to break up the Tower of Babel, He manifested Himself in the person of Jesus Christ. And Jesus was the person who walked with Abraham. That is what it means to be the only begotten son of God. It's not just because the Holy Spirit hovered over Mary and she became pregnant with Jesus, it's because Jesus came out from God at the beginning and was the Word of God. This is why He can be the Word, of God, the Light of the World, because He came out from God, has the Essence of God and is God himself. I go over that theology is my videos.
But back to the writings of the Books in the Bible. Take Genesis for example. I'm working on something rather big, even transformative. To prove the existence of God. What if I told you Genesis itself, not only symbolizes and implies the story of Jesus Christ but explicitly tells the story of Jesus. Do you think those oral stories told down through the generations could become corrupt or flawed in anyway? And only through studying the structure of the stories could you see it. In Genesis....there's a stone rolled away, a blinding light, a betrayal with a kiss, a wind passing over....these are just hints at the real story of Jesus and there are so many more that explicitly tell His story. And this is not just random coincidences either, there is a structure to it, it is in linear order to if you analyze how to break down the chapters.
So Yes, I don't think God would let his Bible become flawed with hazy recollections of oral stories. It's just too precise for any man to come up with something so perfect and prophetic at the same time. I hope I explained my thoughts well. God Bless
The Jews, in order to say that Shem is Melkisedek, made modifications to the Messoretic texts macking the ages of some of the descendents of Shem shroter with 100 years. Example, Arphaxad had his son Selah at 135 years not 35 so on. The Septuagint has the dates right, and Josephus also!!! That's why Terah has Kids at 70, and the others at 30 ish ...
I have to do a deep comparison between say the Septuagint and the Masoretic text. I don't think its a given that either side is right. As you know most translations use the Masoretic text. I wouldn't presume the Septuagint is correct or that the Masoretes would purposefully alter ages to make Melchizedek work. I just can't wrap my brain around religious people altering Holy Scriptures to prove or disprove things. I am also against the Documentary Hypothesis for this reason too.
I am not say you are wrong, just that it needs more study. Thanks for the note though, something to look into.
Terah was 205 when he died while Abraham was age 75.

@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 I appreciate the time spent to make these calculations and observations. It is difficult for me to believe that the Septuagint (which had no agenda behind it) and Josephus made a mistake in these calculations, and the Mesoretic Texts (which would have had an antichrist agenda behind it) to be correct. Again, I'm not saying these things to attack the work you did, and I didn't come with a critical attitude. The Babel period and the division of peoples, their migration and the formation of civilizations after Babel are some subjects that fascinate me a lot and I notice that many who do studies on these subjects have different opinions and a concrete interpretation is, in my opinion, quite difficult to obtain. Things are (in the Bible) quite vague, considering the scale of the event and the global magnitude it has. The work you did shows passion and dedication, things to appreciate. May God guide us in the Truth, to His Glory, be blessed in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Big Hint -
1. For Pre flood use Three witnesses - Samaritan Pentateuch, Jubilees and Josephus. Forget LXX and MT as authority.
2. For Post flood (this is ,a bit more messy) Use LXX & Joe for first three generations and then MT / LXX from there.
Plus all the little hints to iron out along the way, Example Age of Terah at Abram birth was 130 not 70 using Acts 7 etc..
There is one major hurdle to his Nimrod theory that would need an adequate explanation. The ancient texts and histories all considered him to be a person. You would think the ancients knew their history, and how to translate texts. For instance, Jasher 27:4-8 tell how Esau killed Nimrod. Why?
If Nimrod was considered a real person in the past, then it could have been achieved as an alter-ego or assumed identity. How do myths get started? By someone telling a story and people accepting it as real through repetition. We can't see this through our modern lenses, but if the Bible is true, there wouldn't be that many people on the earth in order to start a story and let it stick.
This is a plausible reason why if ancient world thought Nimrod was real, it could've been done rather easily through making up the story of Nimrod as an assumed identity of Cush.
And there are lots of examples in the Bible of Kings changing the names of people. Why not the King himself changing his own name too? Another possible reason...God Bless
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 Certainly a possibility. But I would expect that we'd be able to find your view in history somewhere if it was part of history. They (Israelites / Jews in general) were pretty meticulous record keepers. Maybe it exists somewhere, but I am not aware of it. Peace

Nimrod is Cushs son. Not his father. Kish is cush.
Did you watch his Nimrod video? If so what exactly was the issue with it? You must take his view and argue against it.
I applaud your research. However, I think its a bit discouraging to label "All the family of Ham as evil." There is a son of Ham that you didn't mention. Is it possible he and others weren't at Babel? This is a subject that requires a lot of explaining as "the curse of Ham" has been used as a justification to exterminate and de-humanize people groups and cultures through history.
The context of the Tower story was that the whole world was there. And connecting chapters 9, 10, and 11 together spells out a full scale rebellion against God by the family of Ham. And you were either for God or against God, much like the final test by God that is coming in end times. I even mentioned that Genesis 9 indicates Japheth had fallen away from YHWH, so his family was not spared in criticism. I only interpret the passages through the connections, in no way does this interpretation justify the history of what came afterward.
If you cannot interpret the Bible and an event that was a full scale rebellion against God because of sensitivites and accusations of 'justification to exterminate and de-humanize people', then we shouldn't even try to interpret the Bible at all. If I made a video criticizing King Saul, would that make me an anti-semite that justified the holocaust?
What happened to the black people in Africa with regards to slavery is an outrage. And even afterwards with unequal treatment that they had to fight for equal rights was bad too. But when you make a quantum leap, from I think rightly interpreting this section in the bible, to thousands of years later that this interpretation was used to round up black people is doing a disservice to the Bible and history itself. This interpretation has nothing to do with what black people had to endure during slavery.
And the fact I have to defend myself and not whether my interpretation is true, means we cannot have rational discussion about the Bible's stories. And the Bible pulls no punches, it talks about very bad stuff in humanity's history, yes evil stuff. If the progenitor of Egypt and Africa was evil, that means absolutely nothing about every black person from that time until today. God loves all people equally and He loves all the black people around the world and in Africa. And as a Christian I want everyone to go to Heaven, and our belief system is that the only WAY to go to Heaven is through Jesus Christ. I want that for all black people.(and every person)
Sorry my friend, but interpreting the Bible should be just that, whether interpretation is true or not. You shouldn't connect horrible things in order to silence what the stories said. And I am firmly behind the belief that Satan is real and behind the evil in the world(and the tower story), and he will try to take down anyone regardless of color, black, white, brown, yellow, etc. I will continue to make videos discussing the bible, if egg shells are what you walk on, then Bible studies aren't for you.
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 I appreciate you taking the time to clarify. However, I'm confused why you are being defensive or feeling like you're "having to walk on eggshells". I was simply asking you a question with some added insight...the question remains that the Table of Nations doesn't account for all the people groups in the world today. Since you've done the excellent research, I was wondering if you could explain why whole groups of modern day people groups aren't mentioned or represented by the 70 nations mentioned (for example West Africans, Native Americans, East Asians). The Joshua Project estimates that there are over 17,428 unique people groups and I'm curious as to how there are so many when we only started with 70 original nations. I know you may not have all the answers but simply wanted to know what your thoughts were. #BeBlessedAndLessStressed
@@brank1022 Now that's a fair question. The egg shell comment was to say I won't walk on them even if people bring up or equate criticizing Ham and his family somehow justifies the extermination and de-humanizing treatment of black people as you put it. Criticizing Ham and his family is just that, criticizing him and his family. I don't buy the connective tissue.
As for the 70 original nations coming from Babel not accounting for all people groups in the world, that is beyond my study since it's outside of the Bible. It's a fair field of study. I am a Biblical fundamentalist, so I start with the Bible has told the truth about the 70 original nations listed after the flood and then will listen to how the other parts of the world were populated from there. And I'm sure there are lots of people deep diving into this field.
I myself try to stay in my lane if you will, and usually stay within the Bible itself. Numbers are important to God, so that number 70 was important to start with. Just like the 70 Hebrews that came down to Egypt. How it went beyond there to the rest of the world, is for those scholars in that field. God Bless
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 What makes you think that Ham is the progenitor of blacks/africans?
1:09 you believe the sealing of the 144k is midtrib?
I will be doing a Daniel 9 video within a month. I don't think there can be a mid-trib. There will be only one 3.5 year tribulation period, and can only be pre-trib or post-trib. The video on Daniel 9 will show you how I come to that conclusion from the prophecy itself.
I've also done a Rapture video that shows a connection from the bible I believe can only be coming from God. I would be termed a post-tribber, or just before the second coming of Christ.
The sealing of the 144,000 will come during the tribulation, then what is called the rapture. God Bless

@@ronallens6204 All the prophecies of Daniel and even Revelation points to bad times in the end for God's people. I know some teachers say that it means this is when God will deal with the Jewish people at the end.
I don't see it that way at all. How much more could the Jewish people take, they lost their promised land, went into exile, built again then were again captured by Rome. Then their temple was destroyed and in WWII endured the Holocaust. How much more can they take?
If you've watched my video on the Rapture, I broke down Revelation 11 and the 2 Witnesses. The Jewish people and Christians are the 2 Witnesses. And the Jewish people have already fulfilled their role in Revelation 11.
That only leaves Christians to fulfill their role in Revelation 11. And when you see Revelation 11 and 13, that is talking about the saints being overcome then you'll realize that is speaking about Christians. Revelation 12 even talks about how the dragon(Satan) switches from Israel to Christians. We will endure everything the Jewish people endured, with one caveat. Satan is trying to convince you that the Anti-Christ will be sent by God. That is why he is called a false prophet in Revelation.
I've been hitting this in my videos, especially the Rapture and also told viewers who the First Beast will be. I am doing Daniel 9 next and will start talking about that tribulation period and how mainstream teaching on the tribulation is wrong. And also let you know how that misguided teaching could lead many astray.
That's how I have it,one last test by God to see who will be faithful to God. Even in the face of death after the AC takes control of the world.
I hope you're able to follow my train of thought. All my videos are preparing for what is to come. And those are really bad times, Daniel 12 talks about the worst time ever. Keep watching, my positions are laid out.
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 i can follow your rrain of thought and reasoning as alot of it i use to believe as well.. its not always easy to discern everything the scriptures hold.. let aline the ones already fulfilled because i lack the kbowledge of the hebrewisms... then again, many who do, refuse to believe the scriptures even though they know the hebrew as experts. I plan on watching your vid on the rapture and will make my comments then.. i am always amazed at what people know and what people dont or refuse to believe. Believing carries more responsibility, and not belueving can stop you understanding even more... part of the reason moses spent 40 years tending sheep was to empty out and unlearn what he thought he knew so God could fill him with the truth... i have had my times in the wilderness, and made many trips around the mountain.. and i still striive to study to show myself approved... one thing about the race, you are only ever given just enough to finish...

Your three videos regarding the Table of Nations, Ham's rape of his mother and Nimrod are fascinating but incomplete. I am reminded of another biblical scholar early in his research, Dr. Michael S. Heiser. As any good scholar should, you you go into detail to explain how you derive the elemental facts of a somewhat hidden story in the Bible.
But you never tell a straightforward version of the story.
I suggest you create a video that tells this story in a simple, straightforward manner; then, reference the other three videos for people to discern whether the welements of the story are true.
As newspaper editors say, "You bried the lede."
I will give alot of thought into your suggestion. I am aware of different levels of bible readers, so I do tend to read the scriptures as I go along for all to follow the study of the subjects. I had thought by the end of The Table of Nations video, that the parallels would have been easy to follow for most levels.
But you are saying I didn't advertise the conclusion well enough to alert more people to the connective tissue in the overall story in all three chapters. And I should to make a summary video that references back to the videos. That's a point that I'll take into consideration. I'm into Revelation subjects now, but will give this alot more thought. Thanks and God Bless.
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 thanks for responding. Keep up the good work.

@@robertlipscomb3040 Pretty interesting, and I can see how it fits into the bible. Thanks for sharing the link.
It’s an Assyrian tactics as presented in the bible
Followed both related videos, and I love how thorough you are in presented parallels through scripture using several supporting verses to evince your conclusions. But here I find a few gaps.
It seems you’re assuming the births to be prior to Terah being 70. However the related account with Noah begetting Shem Ham & Japheth. Noah is 502 (their could be an argument for 503) when Shem is born, since Shem is 100 two years after the flood. This seems to indicate the begetting after the age being recorded. Also Galatians says Abram left Charan at 75 after his father dies, putting Abram’s birth no earlier than Terah’s 130th year.
It says Haran died before his father Terah. It appears you’re assuming he died in 1996, but Terah dies in year 2083, leaving a much bigger timeframe for Haran’s lifetime.
Lastly the 10-20 years assumption didn’t get an explanation. Isaac was 137 when he gave his blessing (with the presumption that Joseph was born at the end of Jacobs 14 years of servitude), this was the same age when Ishmael died interestingly, but Isaac lived to 180. Isaac likely expected to die shortly,
Yet he lived another 43 years.
I took a couple notes about your comment. I'm recording another video. Give me a few days to get back to you if you'd like to have a discussion. Thanks
I would love that. I didn’t finish this video when these things came to mind, so I do get why you’re insinuating Haran’s demise.
I do appreciate how thorough you are in presenting your reasoning, especially that you take time to break down the Hebrew, unlike most who insinuate meaning and take it for gospel. So thank you for framing your teaching with plenty of supporting details.
@@robertbawell7738 Can you give me the Galatians citation you are speaking about. I want to cover everything.
Thanks
I’m sorry. Galatians 3:17 was the verse I had in my mind, a supporting verse for the timing of Israel’s sojourning in Egypt. The reference to Abraham leaving Charran after his father was dead is Acts 7:2-4.
I just recently went through the Genesis timeline, to work out the dates since the creation of Adam, and this was one of the problematic gaps, not wanting to assume Abram to have been born in y.1948 when Terah was 70. There is still a little uncertainty here, for if Abram waited any number of years to leave Charran it puts his birth later than 130 years of Terah.
Thinking about Peleg and Nahor and why there deaths differ by a year: I question whether the years mentioned for the begetting of sons is intended to reflect the years since Adam’s creation, but am rather of the opinion that it solely reflects the age of the fathers. In this light it is hard to believe begetting to be on the first month for each progenitor, rather that some would be in the 2nd month, or the 11th, or the 7th, etc. This might push the years since Adam’s Creation forward perhaps an average of 1 year for two progenitors. You can see how that, if Peleg and Nahor had died in the same year, yet the reflected dates might be slightly off. I haven’t worked this out mathematically to make sure the argument is sound. Just a hypothesis.
Wow so Japheth had Ashkenaz and Shem had Ashkenaz? Wow such a big family.
I think you're sitting on your brain and it's lost circulation .
@@tiedyehobo how?
Great work with one big caveat...read the genealogy of Shem in the LXX verses the Mesoretic. After the death and ressurection of Messiah the unbelieving Jews altered the text by eliminating 100 years from the ancestors of Shem to obscure the lineage of Jesus.
How so ? The lineage is from David...if they doctor the lineage of shem, it is to obscure melchezidic
I just went through the Septuagint dates and added the larger years to each descendant. I have problems with the Septuagint ages, I think the Masoretic text is correct based on context. But here it goes....
This is years after creation(Feel free to do this yourself to see if I'm right)
1656 - Flood
1658 - Arphaxad Born
1793 - Salah Born
1923 - Eber Born
2006 - Noah Died
Genesis 10:
25 To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided;
Most scholars believe this means when the Tower of Babel was dispersed by God and the people were separated into their individual lands of their families. I agree with this take, the lifetime of Peleg marks the dispersal of the Tower of Babel. So let's see where the Septuagint ages take us to the possible time of the Tower Story.
2057 - Peleg Born
2158 - Shem Died
2187 - Reu Born
2193 - Arphaxad Died
2253 - Salah Died
2319 - Serug Born
2327 - Eber Died
2396 - Peleg Died
That's it for the time of the possible Tower of Babel story...But if we continue with the Septuagint ages, there is a glowing problem....
2449 - Nahor Born
2628 - Terah Born
2698 - Abram Born (Abraham)
Do you notice a couple things? Noah was not alive during the lifetime of Peleg. So the episode with his son Ham happened way before the Tower and his end of life blessing would have to have happened before the Tower of Babel. To me that is a problem, the Masoretic text has Noah very much alive during the lifetime of Peleg, making his end of life blessing to his sons in Genesis 9 so much more believable in what he said. This is not definitive proof against the Septuagint's ages, but it add big problems to the Genesis 9 story. But here comes the big blow to the Septuagint's ages and how they are in error.
Did you notice how Terah was not even born during the time of Peleg. That means he could NOT have been in Babel during the Babel incident. But the end of Genesis 11, mentions him specifically leaving UR, which is in Babylon. In the Masoretic text, Terah is very much alive during the Tower story and he would have had to leave due to God breaking up the building and the city. It fits in the context of the Tower Story.
But here's the final blow... There is this in the Book of Joshua:
Joshua 24:2
2 And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, dwelt on the other side of the River in old times; and they served other gods.
This is referring to what happened in the Tower of Babel story. But if Terah wasn't alive during the lifetime of Peleg, then how could he have been beyond the river and worhsiped other Gods? I believe this proves the ages in the Septuagint are incorrect and the Masoretic ages are correct. God Bless
@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 I admit I need to study this more, but the problem you speak of is only a problem IF the tower happened as you say at the end of pelegs life instead of the beginning. As I mentioned earlier about the naming of peleg, , the scriptures imply it was happening at the birth of peleg, otherwise Jacob would have been called Jacob after Laban instead of when he was born... all the other names work the same way when tied to events like Benjamin... with all the claims of the mesoritix text being tampered with, they would have had to do the tampering with the septuignt, too . God can keep his word pure I have no doubt, it's a matter of looking
@@ronallens6204 Your research is commendable. I will have to watch your video again in order to note the precise reference to age in the genealogy.
Regardless of the motivation, there are serious descrepencies in the geneologies between the LXX and the Mesoretic, which most of the English translation are built upon.
It would be a good thing to research this out yourself.
@steveunger8249 that I plan to do... even the jews know their time line is off over 200 years.. I have not really concerned myself with some areas of the scriptures as there is so much else to learn, but working My way around babbel in these videos it and the genealogies has peaqueed my interest with the hebrewisms... which I have to defer to others who know more than i.
Wow alright. This is genius. I imagine your 'stuff' will spread like a wildfire soon. Be safe.
Thank you for this video, and the insight it provides.
I can tell you put in a lot of effort.
I would suggest that much of your defense of the Masoretic timeline over the LXX is based on circular reasoning.
I think Nathan Hoffman did a good job of demonstrating the multitude of problems that arise in ignoring the majority of witnesses in favor of a single late text in the following UA-cam video:
ua-cam.com/video/VI1yRTC6kGE/v-deo.html
Again, thank you for your new insights.
I tend to believe that the end of life blessing did happen during the time of Peleg, because his name does mean "in his days the earth was divided". Now the question comes about... Was he named prophetically (before the division) or as a token of remembrance to an event (after the division). His name literally means "earthquake"" (in translation of the Hebrew word according to Strong's). I tend to believe he was named "prophetically", as was Methuselah, and his name meaning "at his death comes the judgement (the flood)". In this light, I tend to believe that the demise of the tower of Babel was about A.M 1996 at the death of Peleg. During this time Abram was still living with Shem and Noah, which he had been doing since he was 10 years old, for about 39 years. Abram leaves Noah and Shem and goes to his father Terah's house at the age of 50 in A.M. 1998 (shortly after the death of Peleg, and after the tower had fallen, yet with enough time for Nimrod to re-establish his reign over the city of babel, whish was named that because babel means "confusion"). Nahor father of Terah dies in A.M. 1996-97, Haran the brother of Abram (son of Terah) dies in A.M. 1998 in the brick furnace of Nimrod, which he threw both Abram and Haran into. Abram lived, Haran died. This was shortly after Abram returned to his father's house where he destroyed his father's Idols, and in his anger Terah turns Abram over to Nimrod for judgement.
This is just my own thoughts... A pattern that seems to appear throughout the bible... The people of God, following his ways often tend to name their children prophetically, looking ahead in faith. The people rebelling against God tend to name their children circumstantially, after events that transpired.
I agree that Cush was the origin of rebellion, thus, his son Nimrod was named "rebellion" (named after the rebellious ways that were instituted through Cush, such as (the worship of the stars)
So, concerning Cush being Nimrod, I have to disagree, as there are too many scriptural references that clearly state he is the son of Cush. Genesis 10:8 As well if Cush were Nimrod it would no longer fit into the timeline of Nimrod reigning over and taking counsel from his uncles on establishing the tower in Shinar, namely the city of Ur. Yes, Cush was a hunter, but also Nimrod following in his father's footsteps became a mighty hunter as well.
I agree that Asshur built Ninevah etc... It was his allotment of land (from Noah's blessing) to do so, and another supporting argument for this was that later when Jonah is sent to Ninevah to preach repentance, it shows evidence of the kinship and inheritance under Shem, therefore the concern God had for Ninevah to repent. Which they did.
Concerning Canaan, I believe he stole the land from under Abram when they were dispersed. Since Abram was staying with Noah and Shem, and being taught by them for 39 years of his life, and seemingly the only one interested in continuing the legacy of righteousness (since his father Terah was an idol worshipper and priest under Nimrod). This leads me to believe that Canaan's inheritance given by Noah was not the place he grabbed and lived in (which was the promised land), but was rather established under Ham's allotment. Thus, the reason God directed Abram and his descendants time and again to the land of Canaan to reclaim it. Abram ( Abraham) was the future, the new covenant. I believe that the "land of Canaan" was always intended to be Abrams inheritance from the time of Noah, and geographical evidence of this would be the question of why this strip of land would be carved out right in the most desirable territory of Shem's descendants?
And additional note... The 120 years you are talking about were actually the 120 years that God gave the people to repent before he sent the flood. From the time Noah was prophesied to about the coming of the flood, there was 120 years until the death of Methuselah, and 7 days later the flood. I don't believe it was an edict concerning the physical lifespan of a man after the flood.
Methusaleh died the same exact year of the flood. 1656. Noah was alive for Babel but lived in the village of the 8 in turkey near mt Ararat
The Tower of Babel says the whole world was one and in one location, Shinar of what we think of now as Babylon. I think this is significant because of God's command to Noah and his sons, that they fill the earth. I do believe Noah was in Babylon during the Tower of Babel episode.
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 nom the world spoke one language. They weren't one. Noah lived nowhere near there there

I believe they found what had good evidence for Noahs area he settled after the landing. Also an area called land of Decent. Armenians claim its was Noahs land and also had a coin with the ark on it.
@@luv1another village of the Eight is where the ark rests.
Methuselah died 7 days before the flood started and God mourned his death for 7 days. he was a man of God so God would not kill him with the flood he died before the flood started. he was the son of the faithful Enoch.
Nimrod could be a real person and also not be counted as one of the 70 nations if he was executed for killing others before he had children. This seems to be what is portrayed in the pagan religions: Cush is the character of the false prophet promoting his son Nimrod as the messiah, the promised seed of the woman. Nimrod is executed for leading this rebellion, perhaps for beginning to execute those who refused to comply. His queen takes the religion "underground" and claims that Nimrod is reincarnated through her son, conceived after his death. The pagan mystery religions all treat Nimrod as a person, and Cush as his prophet. Genesis 10:9 treats Nimrod as a proper name. Otherwise it would say "He was a mighty hunter before the Lord, wherefore it is said, 'even as Cush the mighty hunter before the Lord.'" If Cush was the mighty hunter, and nimrod simply meant rebellion, Nimrod would not be called the mighty hunter in the very next verse.
