I'm so excited about this video. If you enjoy good ole' fashioned Bible teaching, then this video has your name written all over it. I am so excited to bring this deeper teaching to you. My prayer is that you'll never read this portion of the Bible the same again and that you'll have extreme clarity on what God was doing in the Bible during this very confusing time period.
@@Willie42McCoy I have many things to say to you and anyone else who thinks the way you do. First, are you receiving spiritual value from this ministry? If so, have you ever donated to what we are doing? Have you ever given a red cent towards our mission? Would you be a part of a church and not consider giving to support what they are doing? Or would you be one of those Christians who likes to take, take, take but never give back? What I find so interesting about people who think this way is that they will be quick to spend money on Christian merchandise, movies, concerts, art, mugs, music, etc. But they won't invest in their own spiritual life. How backwards is that? Second, do you assume that this is a one-man team? The reality is that the expenses of our ministry are vast. See what you may not realize is that this is not just a UA-cam channel, we are a non-profit full-fledged ministry. This means we have staff to pay, equipment to buy, programs and platforms to pay for, overhead, office space, studio space, etc. All of this costs more money than you would want to know. So yes, just as a church would charge for a conference or for their books, CDs and products, we do charge unapologetically. Yes, just as a Bible college or seminary MUST charge their students to learn the word of God to pay for their expenses and staff, we do charge as well. Finally, would you like to join our community for 30 days for free so you can see how it can benefit you spiritually? If you would like to try this (or anyone else who is reading this post) rather than immediately criticizing, you can email us at support@letsequip.com and we will get you hooked up. However, please refrain from criticizing something you've not done or insinuating that our motivation for ministry is beyond what is reasonable for the services that we provide. I would really encourage you to let the Holy Spirit wrestle with you on this. "Am I content with just taking everything that this ministry has provided over the past 7 years and not giving to help its mission, or will I be a partner with Allen and his team to actually help them reach even more people for Christ? I look forward to your reply.
The Old Testament is SO important! People need to know how to read and understand it because many false teachings come from incorrect readings of the text. Thank you Pastor Allen!
i was having a conversation yesterday with someone who only believed in the Old Testament, because the new testament wasn't written yet at Jesus' time. ....of course it wasn't. He was telling the Disciples what to write, and they were still taking notes. and this obviously meant Jesus wasn't God. Somehow.
This is true. The OT is crucial to understanding thr NT; and after years of studying and research, I think the OT needs the NT to be fully understood. Example, 1 Corinthians 2:7-8 "But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory". Peace of the Triune God be with you.
@@TheShiningEnergy ask him if he can explain the Angel of the Lord, and why 2nd temple jews believed in the "2 powers in heaven", the Invisible YHWH and the Visible YHWH that people saw in the OT, but we all know no man can see God and live. John 1: 18 "No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him", and John 6:46 Jesus says "Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father". But, Exodus 24:9-10 says "Then Moses went up, also Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and they saw the God of Israel. And there was under His feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and it was like the very heavens in its clarity". Ask your friend if he can explain this. The Son of God, the Messiah is the One who we've been seeing from ancient times; "before Abraham I AM" and "Abraham saw my day, and rejoiced". He wasn't lying.
@@TheShiningEnergy pity. Oh well. I know I leave a lot for a yt comment, but I encourage you to look at the passages and concepts for yourself. It's really changed my life.. Peace of our Lord be with you.
For me when I came to the knowledge of God almost 5 years ago my spirit led me to read mostly the first covenant commonly known as the Old Testament. In my opinion i learn more about God in the Old Testament I get more knowledge of who the creator is. The New Testament to me is more feel good scriptures that allows people to still do what I they want and they still will be in the kingdom of GOD/YAHUAH. I do read the renewed covenant /New Testament but I’ll read the first covenant/Old Testament first. I believe I grow more Spiritually because of it.
@@torontocitizen6802 there's evidence of God but is there a evidence that there's none? No. You cannot disprove it, hence doubt makes non belief on God foolishness
@@torontocitizen6802 so there's evidence and its just not good enough to convince you? Scientists have no evidence that there is no God. In fact, they can't disprove Him. So how can you believe what you believe?
Actually, I really enjoy reading the OT. I am one of those people who positively rejoice reading Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Samuel, Job, Isaiah, Ezekiel, the Psalms etc.
Hello teacher, I recently overheard a conversation at work, they were talking about the negroes being the children of Israel. a lot of the scripture discussed was coming out of the book of Deuteronomy. And something about I hope I'm saying this right (Rebecca having two Nations inside her womb!) is this true about the negroes being the children of Israel? Thank you God bless

Thank you so much for this. I watched it from beginning to end. I asked God earlier this week to help me understand more and I ran across this video. I’m truly thankful. 🙏🏾
But the MaSHYaKH (messiah) TOLD YOU TO FOLLOW THE OLD TESTAMENT HE SAID NOT ONE FULL STOP IS TO BE DONE AWAY WITH IT and you are only now picking up ?? ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO REPENT WITHOUT THE TURAH
I've been a follower of Christ for many years but that doesn't mean I fully understand the bible, therefore I decided to re-read it again for a better understanding.
Backslidin Christian coming back to the flock here.. Amazing how God works. I started listening to the audio Bible app after your recommendation. Started as Neomiah was asking king zercees pardon my misspellings to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Now I have the back story! God is good! Thanks brother Alan. Can't wait to join yall for the next meeting first Monday of the month!
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen from you. Midway I felt convicted and had to repent. Please do more videos like this! I learned so much. Will be watching again.
Jesus thank you for helping me with the fear and worry I am dealing with. I know I will make it through this hard time with your guidance. These past years have been difficult. I have two beautiful boys both are autistic and non verbal. I’m overwhelmed at times. My husband passed away years ago. I’m all alone. I have no family to lean on. I lost my job over declining the vaccine. LIKE MANY OTHERS! I declined due to my pre existing health conditions lupus and heart disease. I’ve been struggling to provide for myself and my children since losing my job from Forsyth hospital. I’m now waitressing but not making nearly enough. Every month is a battle to not end up on the streets with my two children. I’m constantly in fear of losing my home. To even think about being on the streets with two young children is terrifying. But even as I face homelessness seemingly every month. I have faith, God will provide. HE HAS THIS FAR! With GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!
I started reading from Genesis 1 back in december and finished Malachi yesterday. This was such a timely message, as it gave me more insight of what I've just read.
Perfect timing. I just started reading my Bible from the very beginning with the goal to read front to back for the first time ever. I had formerly started in John.
And how long have you been in faith???? THE MASHYAKH SAID TO FOLLOW THE TURAH TO KEEP THE TURAH NOT ONE FULL STOP IS DONE AWAY FROM THE TURAH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REPENT WITHOUT THE TURAH
@@simonyarayahuwane2600 I don’t know what you’re talking about but I dislike comments like these lol. Just a lot of capital letters, comes off aggressively. I’m a pretty new Christian in the sense that only in the past year have I began to take it seriously and realize I needed to be applying God’s word to my life and I needed to actually make some hard changes in myself. I lived 27 years of being a “I believe in God and Jesus” but lived however I wanted type of person. Not that my relationship with God needs justification 😊

@TLynn4994 I encourage you to do that, I started reading the bible from beggining to end this year and I'm almost done, I definitely have a better understanding, it's a beautiful journey.
Yes Alan, it seems that people are scripturally starving, and have a great hunger and need for a deeper understanding of Gods word. Please do more of these deeper studies, because so many Christians just don’t get fed properly in their church. I look forward to it. Thank you.
This was excellent, Alan. You have such a gift for organizing thoughts and communicating them clearly and memorably. Reading through the kings and prophets has always been an undertaking.
Putting that college knowledge to good use for the community. I absolutely love when you make videos like this brother Allen Parr thank you so much for being obedient
The Old Testament is amazing! It shows us so much about who God is. I’ve been reading a chronological Bible, which really helps solidify biblical history to me. It’s awesome!
I love Allen’s passion for the word. The only thing I see is repeat sin, disobedience, rebellion, judgment, mercy and allowing repentance and rebuilding Thank you
This was such a wonderful lesson. I actually see the picture and understand the Bible books I’ve been reading. You actually put the pieces together like a puzzle with better understanding. Thank You so much for this lesson. I look forward to the next one. God Bless
great teaching and walkthrough. i’m consistently talking with “enlightened” folks and “hebrew israelites” so this teaching helps me a lot with placing what prophets were speaking to who and when! thanks a million
I’m re reading the Old Testament and I can’t believe that folks ignore it…it’s such a beautiful collection of books. Such truly amazing stories of old. God bless everyone! Praise Jesus! 🙏✝️❤️🔥
My Brother in the Lord this teaching has got granny B jumping over the ottoman and running from room to room! In your video you have answered many questions . I plan on joining your bible study. Granny B is praising God right now ! I just happen to find you on YouTub just when I needed a refresh. Thank you🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I love reading the Old Testament. By the grace of God, I learned a lot of this last year in my Bible class in college. This is definitely refreshing my memory! 👏🏽 I remember when I first saw that chart with the different kings, I freaked out 😂 Then I looked closely and I was like,, “Oh okay, not bad. I can read this.” 😂 🤦🏽♀️
I’m so thankful for your bible knowledge and teaching. Everything happening in our world today is nothing new. God is in control and He is at work carrying out His plan. I look forward to your next Community, God bless you!
Love reading OT. Genesis in particular is my favorite because there’s so much mystery and at the same time understanding exactly how we got here today. It’s truly mind blowing. I’m still learning and some of what you just mentioned here in this video offered some clarity to what I was reading recently. Thank you Mr. Parr!
I really enjoyed this video explaining the separation of the kingdoms and their subsequent exiles. I’m in the OT now with my chronological reading plan. It’s been wonderful!
This was great Bro Allen... I'm reading the daily audio Bible chronological (which was suggested by you at the beginning of the year 😊) and we are in the book of Jeremiah and i love it ❤️ it gets a bit confusing at times but im getting an understanding of it through the help of the HolySpirit🙏🏾... this is my first time reading the Bible in chronological order and it's very interesting how it all comes together.. I can't wait for the second part of your video 🥰 🙌🏾 God's willing... thank you for all you do to help us understand the Bible... God bless you and your family 😊
Allan, this is great! I love reading about the major prophets and the old Testament and try to bring it in often to any preaching or teaching because of it's relevancy! Let's keep these going!
It’s always good news when these notifications pop up, Glory to GOD .. this was very in depth and edifying .. I love to receive that scripture in depth .. good food and very fruitful for my spirit as well as any who take the time to view and embrace what we’ve learned.. These videos and teaching are very valuable and I greatly appreciate the obedience to the Father and the kingdom to produce such great content ..I know a lot of hands go in to get this done .. so I want to show my gratitude and say thank you for your insight and faithfulness… May blessings, peace and love be upon you all 🙏🏾☝🏾.. Romans12:5 we are ☝🏾 … ✌🏾&❤️..and oan to be truthful I’ve been in the community for almost a year now and it is🔥🔥🔥 for GOD those monthly Bible studies are clutch like Jordan in the 4th quarter and I definitely look forward to those each month .. I encourage anyone who is thirsting for a online family who’s seeking and growing on their spiritual journey with Christ to join it has been a blessing to me .. pray about it .. if your in the community already I’d love to fellowship with you .. the Holy Spirt has shown me in this growth that he will put the right people in your life also with the right acquaintances.. peace ✌🏾
Hi Allen. I just listened to this pod cast. I like reading the O.T. better now that I can read it in another version other than K.J. I love the way you break it down. I understand it better through your teaching. I was never great in history. It was so boring, but you're a great teacher and make it so easy to learn. I thank God for you!🙏
I am an amateur Biblical historian, I love videos such as this not only because it quenches my thirst from a spiritual perspective, but a historical one also. I really thrive on this type of teaching, it cements spiritual and secular together into an understandable and relatable context. Thank you so much Allen for your teachings, God bless you richly! 😊
Brother Allen, thank you for this teaching. This was practical and easy to understand, yet in depth and so educational. It’s strong meat for those of us desiring to grow and explore new territory in scripture! THANK YOU so much and please continue your “Strong Meat” teachings! God bless you and your family.🙏🏽
Awesome Bro. Allen! Love these deep studies! I just finished reading 1Kings and about to start 2 Kings so this came in very timely. I totally enjoyed this teaching! Thank you for your work for the Lord. God bless your Ministry🙏
Love, love, love, love how you broke that down! Excellent, give us more! I praise the Lord for you and this channel. May he continue to less you and your family!!
Thank you Allen for this very insightful & well presented teaching of the Old Testament!🙏🏼👏🏼It truly helps me to better understand it & how it even relates to us today!😅Will be sharing this message with my friends & family, blessings!👍🏼🙂🕊
Thank you so much for this teaching brother Allen. When you said "Of God only wants us to be happy, why would he call Hosea to marry a prostitute?" That was very convicting on many levels. Thank you for connecting the dots on the correlation between the kings and prophets. Wonderful teaching.
Mr. Parr, you went so deep in this I found myself having to look up to see its bottom, GREAT JOB, SIR !!!👍 This lesson was very informative, clear and concise! When are you going to post part 2 of this subject?
I've listened to you in other videos and just happened to come upon this particular video. It caught my eye because we are studying the minor Prophets in Bible Study Fellowship this year and I thought it might add to my understanding. It certainly did! I loved the chart you showed and the short reviews of what was happening at that time in history and what the prophets were saying about it. So helpful. Looking forward to more.
Never in my 53 years on earth did I think I will enjoy and understand the bible the way you explain it. Thank you so much for your dedication in studying and sharing the word in such a simple yet detailed manner. I truly appreciate you from South Africa, as here we were only hearing false prophets using the word to manipulate and scam us to extend that I was starting to dabble into other things other than word of God. God bless you brother Allen
This is so good, I'm at Psalms right now and it was the first time I actually read through the old testament. Your teaching style is awesome and this really helped me! God bless.
I love how you teach. Since I don’t get out much you are teach like what was used to all my life in church. As soon as I saw MAJOR PROPHETS AND MINOR PROPHETS my mind went back to me seeing little wooden books made to put these things in order and the song we sang about them. God Bless your ministry. I am 77 yrs old and you are my new preacher.
Seriously Ps Allen, I've recently been thinking of ways to get a better understanding when it comes to the kings and kingdoms portion of the OT books, and this popped up on my feed - I'm very excited to watch this (5 mins in already) and know it will help me enjoy reading it more so - thanks Ps!
I’m at Aww. Loving what you’re doing. These type teachings are very informative. I did not know the tribes were divided into 2 parts & the different Prophets broken down, Wow!!! Can you later do a video teaching us which tribe we are from? I’m so EXCITED Thanks be to God for coming across this Hallelujah
Excellent!!!!!! Please give us more of this. You really break it down and make the Old Testament more understandable. Looking forward to the next video.. THANK YOU!!!!!
Great video! You explained everything so good that is eye opening. I had read the Old Testament various times and this is giving me a new vision about it. Thanks Brother Parr!
Thank you so much Pastor Allen, you have effectively decoded the OT especially regarding the Southern and Northern Jewish kingdoms and the core messages of the prophets (the minor and the major prophets). The Lord has blessed with the amazing gift of teaching. I pray for more of His grace upon you and your lovely family, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
Thanks for making some of these verses clear and vivid. Definitely take away the boringness people feel about the Bible. The Bible is the most exciting book ever written.
This video came out at the perfect time! I just had a conversation the other day about my confusion in linking the prophets in the Old Testament with their corresponding times/kings in Israel and Judah, and this video has already cleared up a lot of confusion, and starting being a great resource in my study of the Old Testament. Thanks Brother Allen for another great study as always!
This was great! I learned so much and understand things I was confused about. I hope you enjoyed your daddy-daughter time. You have a way of explaining things that I can actually understand and follow. Although, lol I will need to listen to this a few times. Thank you Pastor Allen.
Thank you so much for this lesson about the prophets. The charts were very useful to understand about the divided kingdoms, the kings, and the prophets. Now, I can understand the confusing Old Testament better. You are a gifted teacher of the Word. Please don't stop what you are doing!
I have grown to love the OT with the little understanding of the NT. One book in particular I struggled with was chronicles but I have since saw how it enrich kings and pave a way for the following books. Thank you sir
Thank you so much for including those charts, that is the most concise and organized way I've seen the timeline of the OT explained. Most that you search on the internet are so confusing to follow, so thank you!
When you got to Hosea!!! MANN!! 😮💨😭 I’m in complete awe of how creative and intelligent God is to use the unfaithful wife of Hosea to compare her to what we do to Him! I’m just bawling my eyes out because of my own experience in people turning away from me and people who stopped talking to me and for millions of people to do that to such a gracious and righteous God!! 🥺 it’s not that I completely understand how God feels with people who drift away from Him but I know the pain I’ve experienced with only 2 people so I can only imagine millions that drift from Him!!! 😭😭😭😭😭❤️🔥 my heart is on fire right now!!!
This video really was a comprehensive view of the Old Testament. Awesome. I’ve read the entire New Testament and pretty much get it but certain parts of the Old Testament is a struggle and this really tied everything in.
I am actually reading second Kings now. Appreciate your teaching and giving us more insight! When you were describing the sacrifices and people continually sinned and enjoyed living in their sin it struck a cord in me how there are so many religions out there and how people practice their traditions more than repenting and following Christ. God doesn't want our sacrifice he wants us!! Great self evaluation lesson here.
Thankful for you Brother Allen and your obedience to GOD… to take the time to share HIS Word. This was a wonderful video and a great refresher for me!! The in-depthness of the 2 Kingdoms/ Prophets and Kings. Many blessings to you and your beautiful family! Keep being about your FATHER’s business 🙏🏾
I thoroughly enjoyed this video and the teachings✝️🙏🏽✝️🙏🏽✝️it was truly amazing!!!! Thank you✝️✝️✝️ it too me years of studying these chapters and not giving up on learning it!!!! Having charts finally helped me to make sense of it all. The charts will be a blessing to those who really want to understand it. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This video helped out so much. Reading the Bible in a year, we are currently in Jeremiah and this explains in detail what excatly is happening. Thank you brother Alan!!
I'm a member of a local Bible Study Fellowship group that's just completed a study this school year of "Kingdom Divided" - from Solomon forward through the highlights of most major/minor prophets. Wish I'd seen this to kick off our 9 months of study!
Wow! You really explained this well. Much appreciated and thank you for keeping it practical as always we need more teachers like you. 👍🏽 once again thank you.
I absolutely love your in-depth explanations of God's Word, especially because I know it takes extensive study, time, and much prayer to provide us with this invaluable information. Keep it up, and may God bless you and your family abundantly, in Jesus' Name, Amen. ❤️
I'm so excited about this video. If you enjoy good ole' fashioned Bible teaching, then this video has your name written all over it. I am so excited to bring this deeper teaching to you. My prayer is that you'll never read this portion of the Bible the same again and that you'll have extreme clarity on what God was doing in the Bible during this very confusing time period.

I started reading from Genesis 1 back in december and finished Malachi yesterday. This was such a timely message, as it gave me more insight of what I've just read.
really needed this video. Didn't realize how much of a blind-spot I had for this portion of the bible. Great work!
Thank you Allen. My Bible Study group is about to study the Book of Revelation in a few months and this video absolutely prepares us for the study.
Perfect timing. I just started reading my Bible from the very beginning with the goal to read front to back for the first time ever. I had formerly started in John.
And how long have you been in faith????

@@simonyarayahuwane2600 I don’t know what you’re talking about but I dislike comments like these lol. Just a lot of capital letters, comes off aggressively. I’m a pretty new Christian in the sense that only in the past year have I began to take it seriously and realize I needed to be applying God’s word to my life and I needed to actually make some hard changes in myself. I lived 27 years of being a “I believe in God and Jesus” but lived however I wanted type of person. Not that my relationship with God needs justification 😊

@TLynn4994 I encourage you to do that, I started reading the bible from beggining to end this year and I'm almost done, I definitely have a better understanding, it's a beautiful journey.
Yes Alan, it seems that people are scripturally starving, and have a great hunger and need for a deeper understanding of Gods word. Please do more of these deeper studies, because so many Christians just don’t get fed properly in their church. I look forward to it.
Thank you.
This was excellent, Alan. You have such a gift for organizing thoughts and communicating them clearly and memorably. Reading through the kings and prophets has always been an undertaking.
Putting that college knowledge to good use for the community. I absolutely love when you make videos like this brother Allen Parr thank you so much for being obedient
Thanks Allen! I’m reading this in the OT again and I was just wishing for a visual of all the kings and prophets… so this was perfect! Thank you
The Old Testament is amazing! It shows us so much about who God is. I’ve been reading a chronological Bible, which really helps solidify biblical history to me. It’s awesome!
I love Allen’s passion for the word. The only thing I see is repeat sin, disobedience, rebellion, judgment, mercy and allowing repentance and rebuilding
Thank you
This was such a wonderful lesson. I actually see the picture and understand the Bible books I’ve been reading. You actually put the pieces together like a puzzle with better understanding. Thank You so much for this lesson. I look forward to the next one. God Bless
great teaching and walkthrough. i’m consistently talking with “enlightened” folks and “hebrew israelites” so this teaching helps me a lot with placing what prophets were speaking to who and when! thanks a million
I’m re reading the Old Testament and I can’t believe that folks ignore it…it’s such a beautiful collection of books. Such truly amazing stories of old. God bless everyone! Praise Jesus! 🙏✝️❤️🔥
My Brother in the Lord this teaching has got granny B jumping over the ottoman and running from room to room! In your video you have answered many questions . I plan on joining your bible study. Granny B is praising God right now ! I just happen to find you on YouTub just when I needed a refresh. Thank you🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Awesome overview and linear teaching of the OT! I've read the entire bible from cover to cover, and your teaching opened my eyes even more! WOW!
Keep up the good work Sir and Brother Pharr teaching truth of God's Holy Word 🙏 🙌 👏
I love reading the Old Testament. By the grace of God, I learned a lot of this last year in my Bible class in college. This is definitely refreshing my memory! 👏🏽 I remember when I first saw that chart with the different kings, I freaked out 😂 Then I looked closely and I was like,, “Oh okay, not bad. I can read this.” 😂 🤦🏽♀️
I’m so thankful for your bible knowledge and teaching. Everything happening in our world today is nothing new. God is in control and He is at work carrying out His plan. I look forward to your next Community, God bless you!
Love reading OT. Genesis in particular is my favorite because there’s so much mystery and at the same time understanding exactly how we got here today. It’s truly mind blowing. I’m still learning and some of what you just mentioned here in this video offered some clarity to what I was reading recently. Thank you Mr. Parr!
Hey Allen - This is an awesome presentation with such precision. I loved it!
Thank you brother Allen, it is evident that you put a lot of effort into this. I always love these types of videos.
I really enjoyed this video explaining the separation of the kingdoms and their subsequent exiles. I’m in the OT now with my chronological reading plan. It’s been wonderful!
Sooo good! We are reading the chronological bible and this is so helpful! Thanks Allen. 😊
I love a deep, clear, sound bible teaching. Please please do more.
30-40 minutes of enlightenment. Thank you for studying and sharing this information.
This was great Bro Allen... I'm reading the daily audio Bible chronological (which was suggested by you at the beginning of the year 😊) and we are in the book of Jeremiah and i love it ❤️ it gets a bit confusing at times but im getting an understanding of it through the help of the HolySpirit🙏🏾... this is my first time reading the Bible in chronological order and it's very interesting how it all comes together.. I can't wait for the second part of your video 🥰 🙌🏾 God's willing... thank you for all you do to help us understand the Bible... God bless you and your family 😊
Allan, this is great! I love reading about the major prophets and the old Testament and try to bring it in often to any preaching or teaching because of it's relevancy! Let's keep these going!
Thank you for saying Brother Parr. That’s how we spoke of the pastors in my day. I’m 77 so it’s been a long time.
I love this deeper teaching. I love it. Please more, Pastor Allen. We all need more knowledge.
It’s always good news when these notifications pop up, Glory to GOD .. this was very in depth and edifying .. I love to receive that scripture in depth .. good food and very fruitful for my spirit as well as any who take the time to view and embrace what we’ve learned.. These videos and teaching are very valuable and I greatly appreciate the obedience to the Father and the kingdom to produce such great content ..I know a lot of hands go in to get this done .. so I want to show my gratitude and say thank you for your insight and faithfulness… May blessings, peace and love be upon you all 🙏🏾☝🏾.. Romans12:5 we are ☝🏾 … ✌🏾&❤️..and oan to be truthful I’ve been in the community for almost a year now and it is🔥🔥🔥 for GOD those monthly Bible studies are clutch like Jordan in the 4th quarter and I definitely look forward to those each month .. I encourage anyone who is thirsting for a online family who’s seeking and growing on their spiritual journey with Christ to join it has been a blessing to me .. pray about it .. if your in the community already I’d love to fellowship with you .. the Holy Spirt has shown me in this growth that he will put the right people in your life also with the right acquaintances.. peace ✌🏾
This was so captivating. Praise the Lord. Can’t wait for the next one🙏🏾
Hi Allen. I just listened to this pod cast. I like reading the O.T. better now that I can read it in another version other than K.J. I love the way you break it down. I understand it better through your teaching. I was never great in history. It was so boring, but you're a great teacher and make it so easy to learn. I thank God for you!🙏
I am an amateur Biblical historian, I love videos such as this not only because it quenches my thirst from a spiritual perspective, but a historical one also. I really thrive on this type of teaching, it cements spiritual and secular together into an understandable and relatable context. Thank you so much Allen for your teachings, God bless you richly! 😊
This is an amazing. Very clear and concise and I’m here for it all. 🙏🏾
Awesome study, I'll share this with everyone I know, seriously. God bless you
Brother Allen, thank you for this teaching. This was practical and easy to understand, yet in depth and so educational. It’s strong meat for those of us desiring to grow and explore new territory in scripture! THANK YOU so much and please continue your “Strong Meat” teachings! God bless you and your family.🙏🏽
Awesome Bro. Allen! Love these deep studies! I just finished reading 1Kings and about to start 2 Kings so this came in very timely. I totally enjoyed this teaching! Thank you for your work for the Lord. God bless your Ministry🙏
Thanks for sharing that S.I. Williams! God bless!
Love, love, love, love how you broke that down! Excellent, give us more! I praise the Lord for you and this channel. May he continue to less you and your family!!
Thank you Allen for this very insightful & well presented teaching of the Old Testament!🙏🏼👏🏼It truly helps me to better understand it & how it even relates to us today!😅Will be sharing this message with my friends & family, blessings!👍🏼🙂🕊
Thank you so much for this teaching brother Allen. When you said "Of God only wants us to be happy, why would he call Hosea to marry a prostitute?" That was very convicting on many levels. Thank you for connecting the dots on the correlation between the kings and prophets. Wonderful teaching.
Mr. Parr, you went so deep in this I found myself having to look up to see its bottom, GREAT JOB, SIR !!!👍
This lesson was very informative, clear and concise!
When are you going to post part 2 of this subject?
I've listened to you in other videos and just happened to come upon this particular video. It caught my eye because we are studying the minor Prophets in Bible Study Fellowship this year and I thought it might add to my understanding. It certainly did! I loved the chart you showed and the short reviews of what was happening at that time in history and what the prophets were saying about it. So helpful. Looking forward to more.
Never in my 53 years on earth did I think I will enjoy and understand the bible the way you explain it. Thank you so much for your dedication in studying and sharing the word in such a simple yet detailed manner. I truly appreciate you from South Africa, as here we were only hearing false prophets using the word to manipulate and scam us to extend that I was starting to dabble into other things other than word of God. God bless you brother Allen
This is so good, I'm at Psalms right now and it was the first time I actually read through the old testament. Your teaching style is awesome and this really helped me! God bless.
Psalms 119, has the HEBREW ALPHABET
Above Psalm 119:33, is HEY!
it may be written, as HE
Abram, & Sarai became
Abraham & Sarah
I love how you teach. Since I don’t get out much you are teach like what was used to all my life in church. As soon as I saw MAJOR PROPHETS AND MINOR PROPHETS my mind went back to me seeing little wooden books made to put these things in order and the song we sang about them. God Bless your ministry. I am 77 yrs old and you are my new preacher.
Thank you Brother Parr for covering this!
I've always wanted clarity and teaching on this.
Seriously Ps Allen, I've recently been thinking of ways to get a better understanding when it comes to the kings and kingdoms portion of the OT books, and this popped up on my feed - I'm very excited to watch this (5 mins in already) and know it will help me enjoy reading it more so - thanks Ps!
I enjoyed this so much. I love Deep Bible teaching. Thank you for all you!!
You know how long I had been trying to figure out the difference between Israel and Judah and so forth. Thanks Brother Allen, God bless! 😊🙏🙏
I’m at Aww. Loving what you’re doing. These type teachings are very informative. I did not know the tribes were divided into 2 parts & the different Prophets broken down, Wow!!!
Can you later do a video teaching us which tribe we are from?
I’m so EXCITED
Thanks be to God for coming across this
Hallelujah
Excellent!!!!!! Please give us more of this. You really break it down and make the Old Testament more understandable. Looking forward to the next video.. THANK YOU!!!!!
Great video! You explained everything so good that is eye opening. I had read the Old Testament various times and this is giving me a new vision about it. Thanks Brother Parr!
I am a younger 19 years and this was one of the most learnfull thing for me the holy spirit just spoke sooo deeply
Allen we need more of these!!!!!
Thank you so much Pastor Allen, you have effectively decoded the OT especially regarding the Southern and Northern Jewish kingdoms and the core messages of the prophets (the minor and the major prophets). The Lord has blessed with the amazing gift of teaching. I pray for more of His grace upon you and your lovely family, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
Thanks for making some of these verses clear and vivid. Definitely take away the boringness people feel about the Bible. The Bible is the most exciting book ever written.
Very clear, in-depth and insightful. Thanks Pastor Allen. I learnt a lot!!
This video came out at the perfect time! I just had a conversation the other day about my confusion in linking the prophets in the Old Testament with their corresponding times/kings in Israel and Judah, and this video has already cleared up a lot of confusion, and starting being a great resource in my study of the Old Testament. Thanks Brother Allen for another great study as always!
This was great! I learned so much and understand things I was confused about. I hope you enjoyed your daddy-daughter time. You have a way of explaining things that I can actually understand and follow. Although, lol I will need to listen to this a few times. Thank you Pastor Allen.
Thank you so much for this lesson about the prophets. The charts were very useful to understand about the divided kingdoms, the kings, and the prophets. Now, I can understand the confusing Old Testament better. You are a gifted teacher of the Word. Please don't stop what you are doing!
Tracey Burroughs from South Africa 🇿🇦 watching your episode. Thank you for your content, i really enjoy watching you.
I have grown to love the OT with the little understanding of the NT. One book in particular I struggled with was chronicles but I have since saw how it enrich kings and pave a way for the following books. Thank you sir
Thank you so much for including those charts, that is the most concise and organized way I've seen the timeline of the OT explained. Most that you search on the internet are so confusing to follow, so thank you!
Thanks so much Amber K, I'm so glad you found it helpful! Thanks again for taking the time to watch. God bless you Amber K.
When you got to Hosea!!! MANN!! 😮💨😭 I’m in complete awe of how creative and intelligent God is to use the unfaithful wife of Hosea to compare her to what we do to Him! I’m just bawling my eyes out because of my own experience in people turning away from me and people who stopped talking to me and for millions of people to do that to such a gracious and righteous God!! 🥺 it’s not that I completely understand how God feels with people who drift away from Him but I know the pain I’ve experienced with only 2 people so I can only imagine millions that drift from Him!!! 😭😭😭😭😭❤️🔥 my heart is on fire right now!!!
Thank you so much for this teaching pastor Allen. This has been incredibly helpful I and my wife appreciate your ministry and thank God for you.
Great teaching. Very concise loved it.
This is absolutely wonderful.i could use to explain the Bible to my friends.
This video really was a comprehensive view of the Old Testament. Awesome. I’ve read the entire New Testament and pretty much get it but certain parts of the Old Testament is a struggle and this really tied everything in.
I thoroughly enjoyed this teaching, Im from South Africa🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦..... thank you sir, God bless you
I am actually reading second Kings now. Appreciate your teaching and giving us more insight! When you were describing the sacrifices and people continually sinned and enjoyed living in their sin it struck a cord in me how there are so many religions out there and how people practice their traditions more than repenting and following Christ. God doesn't want our sacrifice he wants us!! Great self evaluation lesson here.
I thoroughly enjoyed this teaching. I will be back next week for the next part. You are such a blessing.😊
Thank you Pastor Parr. This really helped me a lot with understanding certain texts and their meaning within the old Testament 😊
Absolutely loved this teaching. My favorite Old Testament reading is in 1 &2 Kings and Chronicles. Thank you Brother Allen 🙏
Thankful for you Brother Allen and your obedience to GOD… to take the time to share HIS Word. This was a wonderful video and a great refresher for me!! The in-depthness of the 2 Kingdoms/ Prophets and Kings. Many blessings to you and your beautiful family! Keep being about your FATHER’s business 🙏🏾
Pastor Parr I love these long videos! ❤️❤️❤️
I thoroughly enjoyed this video and the teachings✝️🙏🏽✝️🙏🏽✝️it was truly amazing!!!! Thank you✝️✝️✝️ it too me years of studying these chapters and not giving up on learning it!!!! Having charts finally helped me to make sense of it all. The charts will be a blessing to those who really want to understand it. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This video helped out so much. Reading the Bible in a year, we are currently in Jeremiah and this explains in detail what excatly is happening. Thank you brother Alan!!
I'm a member of a local Bible Study Fellowship group that's just completed a study this school year of "Kingdom Divided" - from Solomon forward through the highlights of most major/minor prophets. Wish I'd seen this to kick off our 9 months of study!
Oooooooooohhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Just saw my notification and clicked, I'm super cited!!!!!
Wow! You really explained this well. Much appreciated and thank you for keeping it practical as always we need more teachers like you. 👍🏽 once again thank you.
I absolutely love your in-depth explanations of God's Word, especially because I know it takes extensive study, time, and much prayer to provide us with this invaluable information. Keep it up, and may God bless you and your family abundantly, in Jesus' Name, Amen. ❤️
Hallelujah!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Teach us Lord!
Thank you Brother Allen
This is so good. I love lessons like this ❤️
Thank you, love reading the old testament. It took me 3 years to read it twice because you have to keep going back and forth for references!
