I feel so blessed to have stumbled on to FAI and this study of Revelation in particular. I feel God led me here as an answer to some specific prayers. It’s been very interesting to come in on this study so late knowing how the landscape of the world has changed pretty drastically since you began. I’ve been binge watching for about 2 weeks and I’m beginning this session tonight. I watched The Days of Noah this week and it was outstanding!! I can’t wait to watch and listen to more of your Bible studies and films. This has been a such blessing. God bless all that the FAI family does. Maranatha
Dalton and Joel - I've been a global maranatha bible study listener from almost the beginning and I get so excited when you come out with new theatrical content as well. Days of Noah was a real head scratcher there for a minute but loved what you all did with the ending 😅 and hearing the added commentary from this video gives it that much more meaning. Thanks for blessing our family with good music, good movies, good bible study content, good books and a trustworthy fruitful ministry to sow into. God bless you all at FAI!
But God. Hallelujah, But God! I have eaten those words many, many times, and my realization is always the same, I throw my "crown" at his feet, fall on my face, and worship HIM. I found salvation very early in life, but Grace "found me" much later. The Lord keep you, Brother.
I've been blessed over the years with the Bible studies, documentaries, songs and films. God has been opening my understanding through your great job, and I admire very much your commitment to the people's that never heard the gospel before. May ‘The LORD bless you, and keep you. The LORD make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you. The LORD lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.’ Numbers 6:24-26 🙌🏻 Shalom from Brazil to you, sisters and brothers in our Messiah Jesus - Yeshua! 🌼
These days, and these verses, have been haunting me since the first time I've had the privilege of studying them... exciting and urgent times for sure. Be Bold God Bless the Servants of the WORD
Long waited return to the book of Revelation, this message and especially the last minute of this video was an answer to my prayers. I have been struggling with grace and righteousness for many months. This Noah helped me to put things in a more productive perspective.
I’ve learned so much from your channel. I’m at the point in life where I don’t want to hear preaching, I want to be taught the Bible. I want to understand it and be able to explain why I believe. Thank you!
This morning my 14 year old son said to me that it’s easier to believe evolution than to believe in Gods existence. And that statement scared me. But I believe with all my heart that God will answer my prayer concerning this!
This is exactly where I'm at as well. I want to know the truth. I'm weary of whitewashed presentations and potlucks. Mankind is starving for the truth!
Hi again, I sometimes think that there is a great lot that we don't know with regards to stories in the Bible, because at times a good many times we are told very little , it's possible that the people alive back then we're familiar with the stories and could fill in the blanks. As stories were handed down .
The movie was beautifully shot. I very much enjoyed it once I stuck with it. It was a bit slow in the first two segments and then WHAM that last segment gave me a bolt of awakeness. The details of the biblical text and characters coalesced into a powerful ending that left me moved. I am so glad I was able to watch it and connect the past with our ever present. Excellent. Well Done! Thank-you.
Concerning the preaching of righteousness by Noah....we can see by the example Christ. One of the items he did was he "went about doing good" According to Acts 10.
Great talk as always. A friend of mine has watched the film, said it was very good and did say the latter part turns things upside down. Definitely planning to see it soon. It is good to hear you say it was done in a "non-Hallmark" kinda way... the Lord's message should be strong and powerful in whatever means it is given.
I LOVED the days of Noah! Yes halfway through I thought how is this about Noah? But I kept with it and BOY OH BOY am I glad I did, what a great movie and a great "twist" I love how it all comes together in the end. Way better than any 'Hollywood's movie AND it's free. I mean you cant get better than that! May God bless yall! After watching your youtube videos, finding your app AND THEN the movie it blew me away with how much yall do for people. I am definitely doing the $5 a month giving. Thank you guys please keep up the good work! Also just a recommendation if yall could do some videos on Galatians, and if we keep the old laws, Feast etc and all that. It would help alot as I am studying this myself and praying on it.
@Sammy Geiger I’m excited that you are searching for the meat and potatoes of scripture that Rabbi Shaul speaks so often about. For over 8 years I have been lead to follow the Hebrew Roots of Christianity via El Shaddai ministries with Mark Biltz. On their website, every lesson that they’ve taught is free . They use scripture to support scripture and explain what you are looking for. Galations by itself has many mistranslated words because of added vowels or words by King James. So much so that there is a need to get to the Greek and better the Hebrew texts to understand the true meaning of them. For me ( my opinion) 50 + years I was involved with one church which taught me how to judge all other churches except the one I belonged to. Fortunately, by grace JHVH pulled me out of this church and led me to the Torah and the rest of scripture. It’s well worth the time to give every day to digest and chase after God and His word. The feasts are all explained including when Jesus was really born. ( not Dec 25). I will pray for you that your journey is blessed with each step you take. The more you learn, the more you’ll run after God and desire His heart. Shalom 🙏🏼
Just watched the Days of Noah!!!!! BRILLIANTLY DEPICTED!!!! After watching the last one....I went back and watched all three with different insight!!!!! Very powerful!! BTW....I shared your trailer!
Have you considered how the God appointed Feasts are mentioned throughout Scripture, and how they all reflect His Feasts in the events described in the various Books of the Bible? I'm referring, for example, the marriage at Mt. Sinai with the Feast of Shauvot or Pentecost?
Although I believe that the world of Noah was probably pretty advanced, almost industrial, I loved the film. (I can't see him journeying for 10 days, for 100# of grain!)
Well done for such a rare eye opening message on the topic of meritless grace, especially in minutes 42-44 of the video. Just commenting as a common Hebrew speaking Israeli and by no means a bible expert, I am astounded on how this message is refelcted with such powerful minimalism in Gen 6 8 with only 3 Hebrew words (matza Khen be eyney מצא חן בעיני): Literally separately translated to 'Found grace in the eyes' can be unpacked exponentially when used as a phrase even in modern day Hebrew. To scratch the surface of it: It refers to a reciprocal, reflective and subjective liking between two parties, on a meritless basis. The liking is due to one party subjectively finding a slight reflection of themselves in the other party, whereas the other party humbly feels the same. Reflection and reciprocity(and humility) are key here, just as mentioned in the video that 'finding grace' is actually 'grace has found'. Brilliant and reflected as well in the film! For what its worth, the minimalism of this powerful message also appears in Noah's Hebrew name: Spelled as two letters נח, when the order is reversed or refelcted it is חנ which is literaly the Hebrew word for 'grace' and the root of the verb 'to pardon'. Genesis 38 7 has a similar 2 letter name for a person whose refelected/reversed Hebrew form attests to his charcter (Er was 'wicked', in Hebrew when you reverse Er's name you get the word wicked/bad). Cheers!
What is going on? I’ve been waiting on the next sessions on the book of revelation. Also - what is going on with this supposed Messiah in Israel? I see a few UA-cam videos about it but I want to hear from others - what are your thoughts? I’m curious - how did this guy arrive? Did he drive up and park? Is there anyone who can identify him - “hey, I went to college with that guy.” Why do the rabbis believe he is the real thing?
Thank you for your ministry The only Christians that get raptured are the saints that overcome the Mark of the beast The only Christians that reign with Jesus for the thousand years are the saints that overcome the Mark of the beast The rest of the Christian's known as the bride of CHRIST wake up after the thousand year reign of Jesus It's all there in Revelation 20 Revelation 20 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again till the thousand years have finished. This is the First Resurrection. Daniel 12 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting Life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. John 5 29 also says Christians and unbelievers wake together Revelation 20 12-15 Sounds just like Daniel 12 2 Jesus is Truth
Not one of the popular “rapture” passages reveal whether it is pretrib or post trib (John 14:1-3, 1 Cor. 15:51,52, 1 Thes. 4:15-17, 2 Thes. 2:1). But there are two passages that are strong support for the rapture/second coming as one event: “Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you, and to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire.” (2 Thes. 1:6,7) This is clearly the Lord’s second coming. But why would the saints be given “rest” at that time? Weren’t they raptured seven years earlier? Wouldn’t that be the time to give it? Why would they need it at the second coming? And if it is given at that time then the church will obviously go through the tribulation. All these things point to the rapture and second coming as one event. If “rest” is the rapture, it has to be post trib. Pretrib theology explains these things away by claiming these saints get saved after the rapture in the tribulation. So they call them “tribulation saints.” But scripture makes no distinction between saints. Either you are a saint or aint. Paul is clearly teaching the rapture and second coming are one event which will be imminent after the tribulation (Matt. 24:29-31, Luke 21:25-28
In antiquity, south-eastern Canaan was a very important centre for copper smelting. While it is likely that there existed a patron deity of metallurgy, the identity of the Canaanite god of smelting remains unknown. Although some biblical writings suggest a south Canaanite origin of Yahweh, no details are provided concerning his worship prior to him becoming the god of Israel (Jacob). This study explores whether Yahweh was formerly the Canaanite god of metallurgy. The following observations corroborate this hypothesis: (1) Yahweh was worshiped by the Edomites, and especially by the Kenites, a small tribe regarded as the Canaanite smelters; (2) the Israelite cult of Yahweh was associated with copper and with a bronze serpent, a typical symbol of metallurgy; (3) the melting of copper is considered in Exodus 4 as the specific sign of Yahweh; (4) a parallel exists between Yahweh and the god of metallurgy worshiped in Egypt (Ptah), Mesopotamia (Ea/Enki) and Elam (Napir), all of them being a mysterious lonely deity; (5) fighting the (other) gods is common to Yahwism and to ancient metallurgical traditions. This data suggests that, before becoming publicly worshipped in Israel, Yahweh was formerly the god of the Canaanite guild of metallurgists. Keywords Cain, copper smelting, Yahweh, Edom, Kenite, origin of monotheism.
May, 2013: While Jews study a number of religious books-from the Talmud to the Shulchan Aruch-the text that provides the religion’s very foundation is the Torah. And the version of the Torah most commonly studied by Jews is known as the Masoretic text, the most authoritative Hebrew version of the Torah. But it is not the only one. A small, ancient sect known as the Samaritans rely on the Torah, and the Torah alone, as their sole religious text-and the Samaritans use a somewhat different version. Two weeks ago, the first English translation of this Hebrew text was published by Samaritan historian and scholar Binyamin Tsedaka: The Israelite Samaritan Version of the Torah. There are some 6,000 instances where this version of the Torah differs from the Masoretic text; the question for scholars is which version is more complete, or more accurate. The 6,000 differences between the two Torahs that Tsedaka highlights in bold in his book can be split into two categories: 3,000 of the differences are orthographical, meaning there are spelling differences or additional words placed in the text, while the other 3,000 are more significant in changing the Torah’s narrative. Some of the orthographical changes help make the story read more smoothly. For example, in Genesis 4:8, when Cain talks to Abel, the Masoretic version reads, “Now Cain said to his brother Abel, while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him,” whereas the Samaritan Torah contains additional words: “Now Cain said to his brother Abel, ‘Let’s go out to the field.’ ” The Samaritan Torah also offers a slightly different version of some stories. It includes parts of dialogues that are not found in the Masoretic text: For example, in Exodus chapters 7 through 11, the Samaritan Torah contains whole conversations between Moses, Aaron, and Pharaoh that the Masoretic text does not. The other differences that are significant in narrative sometimes change the story, and sometimes “fix” small sentences that appear incoherent. In Exodus 12:40, for example, the Masoretic text reads: “The length of the time the Israelites lived in Egypt was 430 years,” a sentence that has created massive chronological problems for Jewish historians, since there is no way to make the genealogies last that long. In the Samaritan version, however, the text reads: “The length of time the Israelites lived in Canaan and in Egypt was 430 years.” Earlier in Exodus, in 4:25, the Samaritan Torah offers an alternative narrative to the slightly problematic story about Moses’ son not being circumcised when an angel of God “sought to kill him.” The thought that Moses did not circumcise his son, as the Masoretic text states, seems inconceivable to many Jewish commentators, Tsedaka noted. The Samaritan text, however, reads that it was Moses’ wife, Tziporah, who had to “circumcise her blocked heart” by cutting off her belief in the idol-worshiping ways of Midyan, her homeland. A mention of an “internal circumcision” is later found in Deuteronomy 10:16 in both versions, which reads, “circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and stiffen your neck no longer.”
Perhaps the most variant of texts within the two Torahs is the differences in the Ten Commandments. “The Commandments are all in the form of ‘do’ and ‘don’t do,’ ” Tsedaka asserted. “The Masoretic version includes the intro of ‘I am your God that took you out of Egypt,’ as a commandment, when we see it as an introduction. Our Ten Commandments start later, and we have our last commandment to establish Mount Gerizim.” While an “extra” commandment to establish an altar on Mount Gerizim might seem random in the Masoretic text, the part that follows the Ten Commandants in the Masoretic version talks about the forbidden action of building stairs to an altar. Some scholars believe that the Masoretic text would not be discussing steps to an altar without talking about an altar first, and so some believe there might be a part of the text that is missing in the Masoretic version. Until the 1950s, Bible scholars turned to the Jewish Masoretic text as the definitive version of the Torah, virtually ignoring the Samaritan text. However, in the winter of 1947, a group of archeological specialists searching through 11 caves in Qumran happened upon the Dead Sea Scrolls. After rigorous study of the scrolls, researchers have come to believe there were several versions of the Torah being studied throughout Jewish history, according to Eugene Ulrich, a theology professor at University of Notre Dame. The scrolls they found in Qumran matched the Samaritan text more closely than the Masoretic text, leading some researchers to believe the Samaritan text held validity in the minds of Jews during the Second Temple period and that both texts were once studied together. “Finding the Dead Sea Scrolls proved that there were two versions, if not more, of the Torah circulating within Judaism, but they were all dealt with with equal validity and respect,” said Ulrich, who served as one of the chief editors on the Dead Sea Scrolls International Publication Project. “The Samaritan Torah and Masoretic Torah used to be studied side by side. The Masoretic text wasn’t always the authoritative version. They were both seen as important during the Second Temple time period.” Ulrich said after the destruction of the Second Temple, the people split into three groups, each with their own text: The rabbis took the Masoretic text for their own, the Samaritans took theirs, and the early Christians used much of a different version called the Septuagint-a Masoretic version translated into Greek in the 2nd century BCE-in what later become the Christian Bible. While most differences between the two Torahs are only slight and may not even be apparent to an untrained eye, according to Ulrich, the Samaritan Torah provides a more coherent reading because the story flows better in its text. “There are whole passages of stories missing from the Masoretic version,” he said. “A lot of the stories in Exodus and Deuteronomy are missing parts of the conversation, leaving the reader alone to do much assumption as the story goes on. In the Samaritan Torah, however, these gaps are filled, providing a smoother encounter of what actually happened.” James Charlesworth, a professor of New Testament Language and Literature at Princeton University’s Department of Biblical studies, said the Samaritan Torah is his preferred version for some readings of the Bible. “As the stories and histories go, the Samaritan Pentateuch appears to be more favorable because the voice of the text reads more clear[ly],” he said. “In my judgment, the Masoretic version has some corrupt parts of it, and the Samaritan Torah is the best reading we have. There are sentences scholars are left to either reinterpret or simply ignore because they seem they don’t belong.” Charlesworth believes Jews and Christians have not shown the Samaritan text the proper respect it deserves: Thousands of years ago, Samaritans and Jews had a shared interest in both scriptures, but the Samaritan Torah later became shunned. Charlesworth said this English translation would finally provide the academic world insight into the origins of the development of scripture. The Samaritans claim their Torah is older and more authentic: “It’s more logical that a group of people who’ve lived in one place for thousands of years have kept their Torah preserved,” Tsedaka asserted, “as compared to a people who have moved all over the world.” But some Bible critics side with the Masoretic version, citing it as older and, indeed, more authentic. Referring to a principal of textual criticism called lectio difficilior potior, which states that a harder reading of a text is preferred to an easier reading, Yeshiva University’s Aaron Koller said some scholars believe the Samaritan Torah’s text, which presents fewer interpretive problems, proves that it had been tampered with. “Some scholars believe someone took an original version of the Torah and simplified it to the Samaritan version,” he explained. “It’s hard to believe a difficult reading of a text is original, because why would someone change a text to make it unclear? Rather when a text is simplified, it’s easier to believe that the text was altered in order to make it simpler.” Koller noted that the consensus view held by most Bible scholars is that the Masoretic version of the Torah is the older, original version. The structural changes of the Samaritan Torah give reason to believe it’s been changed, he said, but that should not stop people from studying it. Both should be studied, he said, to understand the history of interpretations of the Torah-a book that continues to unfold with meaning as time goes on. “Outside of the Samaritan community, most believe the Samaritan Torah was an editorial revision of the Masoretic text,” Koller said. “But they are a group that consider themselves heirs to biblical Israel, just like the Jews. It’s important just to learn the remarkable tradition they’ve preserved for 2,500 years.”
After this one you hope I drive away from NOW. We will take a simple little verse and show you why it is not addressed to the natural man, Ecclesiastes 3:15: “That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.” The “natural man” cannot grasp that, for to him reality is based only on the evidence of the senses. The man of reason could justify the verse’s end, saying if it has any meaning then the writer must mean recurrence. The sun comes every day and the moon completes its cycle and the seasons come and go. If we took a picture of the universe today, the scientists can compute how long it will take to return to this point in the picture. So the intellectual man could justify the verse; but that is not what is meant, for it is addressed not to the man of reason or the man of sense, but to the man of Imagination. What is it all about? “That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been, and God seeks what has been driven away.”
I don’t think that depicting Noah how the Bible describes him would be claiming that he was spared because he was righteous, no he was definitely spared because of Gods grace which he did not earn. But we cannot ignore the fact that the Bible says he was righteous and a preacher of righteousness. So no doubt his behavior WOULD have been much different then those around him and it would have to be for him to be able to preach about it. Noah was in fact behaving in a more righteous way then the rest of the world and God chose him not because of Noah’s behavior but because of Gods grace. Just because your scared of people thinking that Noah was chosen because he was righteous doesn’t mean you just ignore th fact that he was righteous. Your basically saying that our behavior has nothing to do with us being righteous and I don’t believe that is true at all. Yes we are not right with God based on our righteousness but based on Jesus’ righteousness, and because we are given grace and a right standing with God through faith, for that reason we seek to please Him which causes our behavior to stand out when compared to unsaved people, (at least it is supposed to). The Bible is actually very clear that if we cannot be distinguished from the rest of the world, if we look talk and act just like them, then that is pretty good evidence we don’t belong to God. I appreciate FAI but I think this message is very dangerous.
@@FRONTIERALLIANCEINTL I understand that, but you have Noah the preacher of righteousness chosen by God as the only person on the earth at that time who would heed Gods warning being depicted as someone who is just like every other person, meaning unsaved. Wouldn’t you agree that Noah had to have stood out and not been like every one else in his day? And wouldn’t you agree it could be a very dangerous thing to make it seem as though God can be pleased with us even though we are just like the world? I appreciate the explanation in this video and understand that this is more for unsaved people then for those who are born again, but even then, you have unsaved people being given this view of Noah that makes them think they can be like Noah in the movie and be like the world and get drunk from time to time and still be right with God. I love you guys and consider you brothers and sister no doubt about it, but I really disagree with the depiction of Noah is all and I think it is definitely dangerous. And again in no way do I think Noah was chosen because of His righteousness but i definitely think He was chosen because of a willingness to follow God and heed is voice, in other words his faith. We are saved through faith right? But faith without works is dead. Not saved by works but if we have a saving faith we have works to accompany it or to back it up which are simply evidence that we have a saving faith. None of that changes that it’s purely by His grace that we are even capable of being saved.
Don’t ever make films that look like Sunday School coloring pages. Go for realism, but especially where it applies to the characteristics of the real humans whom God called to serve Him. No one needs another whitewashed and sugarcoated depiction reminiscent of flannelgraph lessons. The more human you depict the characters, the more reality people will see in the story, and the more likely they will connect to the truth.
I wasn’t criticizing. I was saying not to do the ‘norm’ and ascribe undue virtues and hyperclean portrayal of biblical characters. It’s just not realistic, and borders on the heretical. Noah wasn’t a cute little guy with a beard who never did anything wrong. He wasn’t a messiah. He was a sinner. He needed a messiah just like the rest of us, and I think these films show that.
I loved the movie , I love how you made us the audience think just like the men back then about deer skin , I almost cried I also hated him until the end
That's awesome that the audience you are trying to reach isn't your usual "I agree with everything on your channel" audience. God bless your ministry. I will pray for you all in these uncertain times. May the Lord protect you all .
This video seems like an ad for the film rather than a lesson in Revelation. I'm also watching after the 'revelation' that at this time Dalton was in the 8th year of an love affair outside his marriage and he resigned a few months ago. That said, it shakes my faith that those we are convinced are sharing the Truth, have betrayed who they represent themselves to be. So, Sheep Among Wolves? idk...very confusing.
Someone please convince me that chapters 4-6 of Zechariah are not about nuclear war. I have been praying since I have learned about the alternate Hebrew translations into modern English vs the more popular old English and the evidence is startling. Specifically chapter 5; Megila = roll, not scroll 20 cubits high by 10 cubits in breadth = 35ft long and 5.5ft diameter ishah = fire offering, not woman/wife, they are the exact same Hebrew word: אִשָּׁה eyphah = container of about 40L, not basket Heavy metal is translated as "lead" as well, however nuclear material is often encased in lead in warheads This is my personal understanding of the prophecy; He saw a flying roll (not scroll), that is 35ft in height and 5.5ft in diameter. He was then told that this is the curse that goes over the whole world. And it will enter the homes of thieves and blasphemers. And it will completely destroy the buildings, even the stones and timbers and leaves a residue of some sort. He then asks what the object is (proving it's not actually a megila, that's just how he's describing it & is completely unfamiliar with the object). He is then told, this is an eyphah (container of about 40L, not basket), & there are many that look very similar to it all over the world. And the eyphah lifted up an amount of heavy metal/lead and in it sits the ishah (fire offering, not woman/wife). He then is told that the fire offering is casted into the mouth of the 40L container (please look up how Gun-type fission weapons detonate. Just as there is no Hebrew word for an ICBM flying across the sky, there is no Hebrew word for Uranium gun type fission detonation). He then saw multiple fire offerings lift up containers of about 40L with wide wings (this might be trails of smoke or the wings of missiles), into the upper atmosphere. He then asks where will they go and is told that this one will go to Babylon (which in Revelation 18:17 will be destroyed in a single hour). (I'd link the sources I'm using but youtube deletes all comments with urls in them)
Spot on. I had to stand to applaud. Our thoughts are not His thoughts, our ways not His so we can substitute good for evil so easily. To teach truth with love takes courage and at last I have found such. Your faces are before me these days as I pray and cannot help but remember you before the Lord. So precious, Thankyou sincerely. Yes, I feel we know each other. Be greatly encouraged Dear Joel and Dalton.❤️🦋🇦🇺
Everyone of us is starving for the true meat of the Word of God. I'm 61years old and have probably heard the same messages over and over by various pastors that just can't get passed a certain barrier that keeps them from breaking thru to those decisive moments that were always there but just couldn't see it. A lot of sermons are canned and passed along the internet like cotton candy that don't even require any pastor to study to prove themselves. You can see it too as more and more people do whats right in their own eyes. May the Lord bless FAI ministries for their efforts to bring the gospel message to us and those that would otherwise never hear it.
This "teaching" does a great job explaining the big picture ideas and motivations behind the movie and how it was constructed. But I (and I'm sure many others) would also love a director's commentary version that goes into all the details of the movie and what the reasons were for them.
Your chose about FLESH stuck to future and history when NOW is aways everyday history and tomorrow. Luke 17:20And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within YOU. Leaves you a hint about what is history always NOW, same for tomorrow. Being saved looking and seeing, hear, still looking and waiting outside yourself is common christians flesh protecting shadows. Paul was only saved as Saul till AWAKING inside himself not NOW history or tomorrow. After waking then FLESH was cast OUT completely no longer wrestly it. ISAAC same story NOW not just history seen by FLESH it never does inside itself invisible to FLESH same NOW for both seen and not seen, History is only blinded FLESH waiting, NOW to unseen never history nor tomorrow freakish to FLESH like seen and heard no matter what is good and evil and feeling correct making you properly saved is laughter to GRACE and MERCY always challenge by FLESH shadows. Reincarnation is like any belief yep and no, stars and seasons same yep and no, PROMISE isn't yep and no because FLESH is addicted to saved by emotional tickles, crying thankfull sinner to hard to forget only saved then hoping to yep and no only proper mind can, then yep enters again by always saved, AWAKE throws wooden cross at yep and no FLESH getting burnt by SKULL HILL NOW. Hi ISAAC hi, how your promises NOW still just I AM? 28Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. 29But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is NNNOOOWWW. Now now now now............ 30Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. CAST only then or also NOW??????spank some and there flesh boy like most churches reverse, cast promise is goofy SAULS 31So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free
SPOILER ALERT..Pity I watched this before the monie.. ( kinda ruined the film) Noah perched for 120 years .he told THE WHOLE WORLD? THE "WHOLE WORLD" .. think about it
You don't believe in Grace... We are Saved by Grace and Grace alone leadt any man BOAST... That means you can do NOTHING to gain Salvation or to loose it once you have it... YOUR best deeds are but filthy rags in the Eye's of God... Don't try to reinvent the wheel my Brother ..
Stumbled onto your work while couch-ridden with Covid. It has changed my life... from a very backslidden rotten Christian with a deep curiosity about prophecy, to a rededicated Christian wondering where to go from here. Much of what I thought I knew about the end times, from decades of study, was wrong... My mind is not easily changed on religious topics, but you succeeded with a superior method... Using the WHOLE Bible, rational discourse, and logic VS "Fire & Brimstone" rhetoric and cherry-picked scripture. Look forward to digging thru the whole library of FAI material, now that Im apparently at the end of the Revelation sessions. I sure wish you would do a video about the Temple, unless I'm very alone in my fascination with it... I can't tell you why the Temple is such a big deal to me, but I'm sure it's there for a reason.
When Noah took two of every flesh aboard the ark, he obviously brought a male and female of every race on earth. I don’t know how many races He created on the sixth day but I imagine it was either seven or more likely 12, which is the Lord’s number of organization concerning government. Just as He (Elohim) created Adam and Eve on the eighth day after His 1,000 years (to us) rest: 2nd Peter 3:8. They were the kings of the nations with their queens who God brought to the ark. Noah and his family were the only Adamic souls who had no nephilm dna in their blood. That is why he found favor. The flood was to destroy the others. Satan will return with the same fallen ones pretending to be Yeshua and His holy angels. And it will be just like the days of Noah. Read 2nd Thess 2. Ladies cover your heads with Christ or they will have you at their leisure. If you don’t know what happened in the beginning, like these guys you don’t have a chance. Third influx coming soon. Don’t jump in his buggy!
I have a really hard time with the grace message as you are framing it. My understanding is this: (and I am glad to flesh this out with you and other viewers)... Noah found favor in God's eyes because of Noah's own righteousness. However, Noah's righteousness falls short of the glory of God and does not earn Noah eternal life. The gift of grace is eternal life, that is something no man can earn by any amount of righteousness. But Noah was more righteous than those around him, and that is why he found favor in God's eyes and was BY GRACE granted foresight into God's judgement and the step-by-step plans to avoid the judgement. [In Summary: Noah's Righteousness = Find Favor with God ... God's Grace = Salvation from God's Judgement]
Noah was removed from the ground where God's judgement fell as Lot was removed from the plain which was judged. Revelation 3:10 New International Version 10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. tereo ek means remove from, not in and through.
Watched a short video of Netanyahu. He was talking about how the sovereignty of Israel 🇮🇱 and an acceptance of peace. We're on the horizon . If not all but arrived. The naivety of this hopeful certainty gave me the chills. It feels counter intuitive to pray for Israel and her people. Particularly those really good folks that are living in poorer areas that are victims of the random timing of constant violence. And at the same time I am praying that , his assertion that Arab acceptance is taking place throughout the Middle East doesn't change. Maranatha,
Noah did NOT tell people to build arks.. it wouldn't have mattered anyway.. "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" ... Jesus himself tells us that His will will be done with or without the corrupt naysayer masses. The wicked wicked people.
Credit is never given where due. But delivery is always precise as can be. Usually expected to jump at, do for free. All while burning free wood. Laboring for all to survive. No utility service. And even provide still yet a piece of bread to those with cash in pocket.
I would say if God did not find Noah righteous, Gods creation was a mistake. I know all things where created for His pleasure. Did God find pleasure in their destruction? I would say his wrath was more than his pleasure. Until we see ourselves in good conscience with the presence of God, we face His wrath.
All I can say about this one is even if you end up being misguided about the idea of meeting unbelievers on their own grounds with a “secular” movie in terms of it aiding salvation, there is always something to be said for adding to the justification for gods severity and judgement when they don’t respond how you may expect.
Matthew 24 made me think that the deception was Jesus had already come back and we are living in the 1000 years that doesn't make sense at the end of the book of revelation where you think.. why has the devil been given this extra time.
I feel so blessed to have stumbled on to FAI and this study of Revelation in particular. I feel God led me here as an answer to some specific prayers. It’s been very interesting to come in on this study so late knowing how the landscape of the world has changed pretty drastically since you began. I’ve been binge watching for about 2 weeks and I’m beginning this session tonight. I watched The Days of Noah this week and it was outstanding!! I can’t wait to watch and listen to more of your Bible studies and films.
This has been a such blessing. God bless all that the FAI family does.
Maranatha
Dalton and Joel - I've been a global maranatha bible study listener from almost the beginning and I get so excited when you come out with new theatrical content as well. Days of Noah was a real head scratcher there for a minute but loved what you all did with the ending 😅 and hearing the added commentary from this video gives it that much more meaning. Thanks for blessing our family with good music, good movies, good bible study content, good books and a trustworthy fruitful ministry to sow into. God bless you all at FAI!
Thank you for this teaching. 🤍🙏🏽
Point well taken…. Many embrace works, in spite of Paul’s profound teaching on Grace….
Everything come only by the Grace of the Sovereign God
But God. Hallelujah, But God! I have eaten those words many, many times, and my realization is always the same, I throw my "crown" at his feet, fall on my face, and worship HIM. I found salvation very early in life, but Grace "found me" much later. The Lord keep you, Brother.
The Days of Noah, was intriguing!!! I loved the focus on preserving the seed and the revealing who deerskin was…so well done!!!!❤️❤️
Yes! Finally. 😀
I've been blessed over the years with the Bible studies, documentaries, songs and films. God has been opening my understanding through your great job, and I admire very much your commitment to the people's that never heard the gospel before. May ‘The LORD bless you, and keep you. The LORD make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you. The LORD lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.’
Numbers 6:24-26 🙌🏻 Shalom from Brazil to you, sisters and brothers in our Messiah Jesus - Yeshua! 🌼
These days, and these verses, have been haunting me since the first time I've had the privilege of studying them... exciting and urgent times for sure.
Be Bold
God Bless the Servants of the WORD
Long waited return to the book of Revelation, this message and especially the last minute of this video was an answer to my prayers.
I have been struggling with grace and righteousness for many months. This Noah helped me to put things in a more productive perspective.
I love your studies, I understand what you are trying to do. God bless you and what you what you are doing.
I’ve learned so much from your channel. I’m at the point in life where I don’t want to hear preaching, I want to be taught the Bible. I want to understand it and be able to explain why I believe.
Thank you!
This was beautifully said. You captured exactly what I am sensing and the need is great for such sources of truth.
Ditto!
This morning my 14 year old son said to me that it’s easier to believe evolution than to believe in Gods existence. And that statement scared me. But I believe with all my heart that God will answer my prayer concerning this!
Well said
This is exactly where I'm at as well. I want to know the truth. I'm weary of whitewashed presentations and potlucks. Mankind is starving for the truth!
Hi again, I sometimes think that there is a great lot that we don't know with regards to stories in the Bible, because at times a good many times we are told very little , it's possible that the people alive back then we're familiar with the stories and could fill in the blanks. As stories were handed down .
.
GOD BLESS THE WORD AS IT GOES OUT
.
The movie was beautifully shot. I very much enjoyed it once I stuck with it. It was a bit slow in the first two segments and then WHAM that last segment gave me a bolt of awakeness. The details of the biblical text and characters coalesced into a powerful ending that left me moved. I am so glad I was able to watch it and connect the past with our ever present. Excellent. Well Done! Thank-you.
Support is coming - Thankyou
Concerning the preaching of righteousness by Noah....we can see by the example Christ. One of the items he did was he "went about doing good" According to Acts 10.
I never expected it to be about Noah, nor assumed any one of them was him. I took it for what the title said. Great job.
Great talk as always. A friend of mine has watched the film, said it was very good and did say the latter part turns things upside down. Definitely planning to see it soon. It is good to hear you say it was done in a "non-Hallmark" kinda way... the Lord's message should be strong and powerful in whatever means it is given.
I watched all three films, the picture of grace at the end was gold. However, it needed a story.
I love the strategy
That’s for sure. You are not appealing to people who want to leave the earth! Who are longing for Jesus…..
I LOVED the days of Noah! Yes halfway through I thought how is this about Noah? But I kept with it and BOY OH BOY am I glad I did, what a great movie and a great "twist" I love how it all comes together in the end. Way better than any 'Hollywood's movie AND it's free. I mean you cant get better than that! May God bless yall! After watching your youtube videos, finding your app AND THEN the movie it blew me away with how much yall do for people. I am definitely doing the $5 a month giving. Thank you guys please keep up the good work! Also just a recommendation if yall could do some videos on Galatians, and if we keep the old laws, Feast etc and all that. It would help alot as I am studying this myself and praying on it.
I knew Deer Skin had a name that we'd know in the end. Loved it! Now I know, I'm watching it again! 💪🕯
@Sammy Geiger
I’m excited that you are searching for the meat and potatoes of scripture that Rabbi Shaul speaks so often about. For over 8 years I have been lead to follow the Hebrew Roots of Christianity via El Shaddai ministries with Mark Biltz. On their website, every lesson that they’ve taught is free . They use scripture to support scripture and explain what you are looking for. Galations by itself has many mistranslated words because of added vowels or words by King James. So much so that there is a need to get to the Greek and better the Hebrew texts to understand the true meaning of them. For me ( my opinion) 50 + years I was involved with one church which taught me how to judge all other churches except the one I belonged to. Fortunately, by grace JHVH pulled me out of this church and led me to the Torah and the rest of scripture. It’s well worth the time to give every day to digest and chase after God and His word. The feasts are all explained including when Jesus was really born. ( not Dec 25). I will pray for you that your journey is blessed with each step you take. The more you learn, the more you’ll run after God and desire His heart. Shalom 🙏🏼
🙏🙏🙏 love the job you guys are doing
Matthew 24, I still have trouble, it still reads like he was due back before the people alive at the time died. It really reads like this.
Just watched the Days of Noah!!!!! BRILLIANTLY DEPICTED!!!! After watching the last one....I went back and watched all three with different insight!!!!! Very powerful!! BTW....I shared your trailer!
S P O I L E R A L E R T !!!
I thought the movie was really great. It was so refreshingly anti-sensationalist. I am inspired by the artistry of the film.
Oh, you played the brute? The brute that was dead in his dying only to die and die again? This is good work. Thank you.🕯
Have you considered how the God appointed Feasts are mentioned throughout Scripture, and how they all reflect His Feasts in the events described in the various Books of the Bible? I'm referring, for example, the marriage at Mt. Sinai with the Feast of Shauvot or Pentecost?
skip the first 21 mins to get to the actual Session
Although I believe that the world of Noah was probably pretty advanced, almost industrial, I loved the film. (I can't see him journeying for 10 days, for 100# of grain!)
Each kernel of that wheat was a seed. 100 lbs might produce enough to feed a family.
Is there a session 49 coming?
Well done for such a rare eye opening message on the topic of meritless grace, especially in minutes 42-44 of the video.
Just commenting as a common Hebrew speaking Israeli and by no means a bible expert, I am astounded on how this message is refelcted with such powerful minimalism in Gen 6 8 with only 3 Hebrew words (matza Khen be eyney מצא חן בעיני): Literally separately translated to 'Found grace in the eyes' can be unpacked exponentially when used as a phrase even in modern day Hebrew. To scratch the surface of it: It refers to a reciprocal, reflective and subjective liking between two parties, on a meritless basis. The liking is due to one party subjectively finding a slight reflection of themselves in the other party, whereas the other party humbly feels the same. Reflection and reciprocity(and humility) are key here, just as mentioned in the video that 'finding grace' is actually 'grace has found'. Brilliant and reflected as well in the film!
For what its worth, the minimalism of this powerful message also appears in Noah's Hebrew name: Spelled as two letters נח, when the order is reversed or refelcted it is חנ which is literaly the Hebrew word for 'grace' and the root of the verb 'to pardon'.
Genesis 38 7 has a similar 2 letter name for a person whose refelected/reversed Hebrew form attests to his charcter (Er was 'wicked', in Hebrew when you reverse Er's name you get the word wicked/bad). Cheers!
So is this it? Isn’t there going to be any more Book of Revelation sessions?
Sow every time I hear that it reminds me of like Kenneth Copeland or something like that it really bothers me but I really like FAS so I don't know
I was wrong, Brother, nearly 41% of the time allotted was spent somewhere else than in the Word.
“Noahbility”
You mean the new app is for the lukewarm.
You talk too much. Brother, your title says Revelation. Not what spent more than 1/4 of the 52 minutes you recorded.
What is going on? I’ve been waiting on the next sessions on the book of revelation. Also - what is going on with this supposed Messiah in Israel? I see a few UA-cam videos about it but I want to hear from others - what are your thoughts? I’m curious - how did this guy arrive? Did he drive up and park? Is there anyone who can identify him - “hey, I went to college with that guy.” Why do the rabbis believe he is the real thing?
So many people reject even listening. They get offended or maybe it’s me????😢
Sister, it's not you... its the times.. manybare struggling to have people all around them to listen as well
JFYI About 20 minutes worth of selling movie tickets to his Noah movie that went Noah where
Thank you for your ministry
The only Christians that get raptured are the saints that overcome the Mark of the beast
The only Christians that reign with Jesus for the thousand years are the saints that overcome the Mark of the beast
The rest of the Christian's known as the bride of CHRIST wake up after the thousand year reign of Jesus
It's all there in Revelation 20
Revelation 20 5
But the rest of the dead lived not again till the thousand years have finished. This is the First Resurrection.
Daniel 12 2
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting Life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
John 5 29 also says Christians and unbelievers wake together
Revelation 20 12-15
Sounds just like Daniel 12 2
Jesus is Truth
Not one of the popular “rapture” passages reveal whether it is pretrib or post trib (John 14:1-3, 1 Cor. 15:51,52, 1 Thes. 4:15-17, 2 Thes. 2:1). But there are two passages that are strong support for the rapture/second coming as one event:
“Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you, and to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire.” (2 Thes. 1:6,7)
This is clearly the Lord’s second coming. But why would the saints be given “rest” at that time? Weren’t they raptured seven years earlier? Wouldn’t that be the time to give it? Why would they need it at the second coming? And if it is given at that time then the church will obviously go through the tribulation. All these things point to the rapture and second coming as one event. If “rest” is the rapture, it has to be post trib.
Pretrib theology explains these things away by claiming these saints get saved after the rapture in the tribulation. So they call them “tribulation saints.” But scripture makes no distinction between saints. Either you are a saint or aint. Paul is clearly teaching the rapture and second coming are one event which will be imminent after the tribulation (Matt. 24:29-31, Luke 21:25-28
Don’t the scriptures say Noah walked with G-d? I agree grace is undesired. . Also Noah was righteous “ in his generation.״ ״
"Blogging Theologie" on UA-cam about Jesus/ Islam.
In antiquity, south-eastern Canaan was a very important centre for copper smelting.
While it is likely that there existed a patron deity of metallurgy, the identity of the Canaanite god of smelting remains unknown.
Although some biblical writings suggest a south Canaanite origin of Yahweh, no details are provided concerning his worship prior to him becoming the god of Israel (Jacob).
This study explores whether Yahweh was formerly the Canaanite god of metallurgy.
The following observations corroborate this hypothesis:
(1) Yahweh was worshiped by the Edomites, and especially by the Kenites, a small tribe regarded as the Canaanite smelters;
(2) the Israelite cult of Yahweh was associated with copper and with a bronze serpent, a typical symbol of metallurgy;
(3) the melting of copper is considered in Exodus 4 as the specific sign of Yahweh;
(4) a parallel exists between Yahweh and the god of metallurgy worshiped in Egypt (Ptah), Mesopotamia (Ea/Enki) and Elam (Napir), all of them being a mysterious lonely deity;
(5) fighting the (other) gods is common to Yahwism and to ancient metallurgical traditions.
This data suggests that, before becoming publicly worshipped in Israel, Yahweh was formerly the god of the Canaanite guild of metallurgists.

May, 2013:
While Jews study a number of religious books-from the Talmud to the Shulchan Aruch-the text that provides the religion’s very foundation is the Torah. And the version of the Torah most commonly studied by Jews is known as the Masoretic text, the most authoritative Hebrew version of the Torah.
But it is not the only one.
A small, ancient sect known as the Samaritans rely on the Torah, and the Torah alone, as their sole religious text-and the Samaritans use a somewhat different version. Two weeks ago, the first English translation of this Hebrew text was published by Samaritan historian and scholar Binyamin Tsedaka: The Israelite Samaritan Version of the Torah. There are some 6,000 instances where this version of the Torah differs from the Masoretic text; the question for scholars is which version is more complete, or more accurate.
The 6,000 differences between the two Torahs that Tsedaka highlights in bold in his book can be split into two categories: 3,000 of the differences are orthographical, meaning there are spelling differences or additional words placed in the text, while the other 3,000 are more significant in changing the Torah’s narrative.
Some of the orthographical changes help make the story read more smoothly. For example, in Genesis 4:8, when Cain talks to Abel, the Masoretic version reads, “Now Cain said to his brother Abel, while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him,” whereas the Samaritan Torah contains additional words: “Now Cain said to his brother Abel, ‘Let’s go out to the field.’ ”
The Samaritan Torah also offers a slightly different version of some stories. It includes parts of dialogues that are not found in the Masoretic text: For example, in Exodus chapters 7 through 11, the Samaritan Torah contains whole conversations between Moses, Aaron, and Pharaoh that the Masoretic text does not.
The other differences that are significant in narrative sometimes change the story, and sometimes “fix” small sentences that appear incoherent.
In Exodus 12:40, for example, the Masoretic text reads: “The length of the time the Israelites lived in Egypt was 430 years,” a sentence that has created massive chronological problems for Jewish historians, since there is no way to make the genealogies last that long. In the Samaritan version, however, the text reads: “The length of time the Israelites lived in Canaan and in Egypt was 430 years.”
Earlier in Exodus, in 4:25, the Samaritan Torah offers an alternative narrative to the slightly problematic story about Moses’ son not being circumcised when an angel of God “sought to kill him.” The thought that Moses did not circumcise his son, as the Masoretic text states, seems inconceivable to many Jewish commentators, Tsedaka noted. The Samaritan text, however, reads that it was Moses’ wife, Tziporah, who had to “circumcise her blocked heart” by cutting off her belief in the idol-worshiping ways of Midyan, her homeland. A mention of an “internal circumcision” is later found in Deuteronomy 10:16 in both versions, which reads, “circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and stiffen your neck no longer.”
Perhaps the most variant of texts within the two Torahs is the differences in the Ten Commandments.
“The Commandments are all in the form of ‘do’ and ‘don’t do,’ ” Tsedaka asserted. “The Masoretic version includes the intro of ‘I am your God that took you out of Egypt,’ as a commandment, when we see it as an introduction. Our Ten Commandments start later, and we have our last commandment to establish Mount Gerizim.”
While an “extra” commandment to establish an altar on Mount Gerizim might seem random in the Masoretic text, the part that follows the Ten Commandants in the Masoretic version talks about the forbidden action of building stairs to an altar. Some scholars believe that the Masoretic text would not be discussing steps to an altar without talking about an altar first, and so some believe there might be a part of the text that is missing in the Masoretic version.
Until the 1950s, Bible scholars turned to the Jewish Masoretic text as the definitive version of the Torah, virtually ignoring the Samaritan text. However, in the winter of 1947, a group of archeological specialists searching through 11 caves in Qumran happened upon the Dead Sea Scrolls. After rigorous study of the scrolls, researchers have come to believe there were several versions of the Torah being studied throughout Jewish history, according to Eugene Ulrich, a theology professor at University of Notre Dame.
The scrolls they found in Qumran matched the Samaritan text more closely than the Masoretic text, leading some researchers to believe the Samaritan text held validity in the minds of Jews during the Second Temple period and that both texts were once studied together.
“Finding the Dead Sea Scrolls proved that there were two versions, if not more, of the Torah circulating within Judaism, but they were all dealt with with equal validity and respect,” said Ulrich, who served as one of the chief editors on the Dead Sea Scrolls International Publication Project. “The Samaritan Torah and Masoretic Torah used to be studied side by side. The Masoretic text wasn’t always the authoritative version. They were both seen as important during the Second Temple time period.”
Ulrich said after the destruction of the Second Temple, the people split into three groups, each with their own text: The rabbis took the Masoretic text for their own, the Samaritans took theirs, and the early Christians used much of a different version called the Septuagint-a Masoretic version translated into Greek in the 2nd century BCE-in what later become the Christian Bible.
While most differences between the two Torahs are only slight and may not even be apparent to an untrained eye, according to Ulrich, the Samaritan Torah provides a more coherent reading because the story flows better in its text. “There are whole passages of stories missing from the Masoretic version,” he said. “A lot of the stories in Exodus and Deuteronomy are missing parts of the conversation, leaving the reader alone to do much assumption as the story goes on. In the Samaritan Torah, however, these gaps are filled, providing a smoother encounter of what actually happened.”
James Charlesworth, a professor of New Testament Language and Literature at Princeton University’s Department of Biblical studies, said the Samaritan Torah is his preferred version for some readings of the Bible. “As the stories and histories go, the Samaritan Pentateuch appears to be more favorable because the voice of the text reads more clear[ly],” he said. “In my judgment, the Masoretic version has some corrupt parts of it, and the Samaritan Torah is the best reading we have. There are sentences scholars are left to either reinterpret or simply ignore because they seem they don’t belong.”
Charlesworth believes Jews and Christians have not shown the Samaritan text the proper respect it deserves: Thousands of years ago, Samaritans and Jews had a shared interest in both scriptures, but the Samaritan Torah later became shunned. Charlesworth said this English translation would finally provide the academic world insight into the origins of the development of scripture.
The Samaritans claim their Torah is older and more authentic: “It’s more logical that a group of people who’ve lived in one place for thousands of years have kept their Torah preserved,” Tsedaka asserted, “as compared to a people who have moved all over the world.”
But some Bible critics side with the Masoretic version, citing it as older and, indeed, more authentic. Referring to a principal of textual criticism called lectio difficilior potior, which states that a harder reading of a text is preferred to an easier reading, Yeshiva University’s Aaron Koller said some scholars believe the Samaritan Torah’s text, which presents fewer interpretive problems, proves that it had been tampered with. “Some scholars believe someone took an original version of the Torah and simplified it to the Samaritan version,” he explained. “It’s hard to believe a difficult reading of a text is original, because why would someone change a text to make it unclear? Rather when a text is simplified, it’s easier to believe that the text was altered in order to make it simpler.”
Koller noted that the consensus view held by most Bible scholars is that the Masoretic version of the Torah is the older, original version. The structural changes of the Samaritan Torah give reason to believe it’s been changed, he said, but that should not stop people from studying it. Both should be studied, he said, to understand the history of interpretations of the Torah-a book that continues to unfold with meaning as time goes on.
“Outside of the Samaritan community, most believe the Samaritan Torah was an editorial revision of the Masoretic text,” Koller said. “But they are a group that consider themselves heirs to biblical Israel, just like the Jews. It’s important just to learn the remarkable tradition they’ve preserved for 2,500 years.”
Just get to the point you both talk to much
After this one you hope I drive away from NOW. We will take a simple little verse and show you why it is not addressed to the natural man, Ecclesiastes 3:15: “That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.” The “natural man” cannot grasp that, for to him reality is based only on the evidence of the senses. The man of reason could justify the verse’s end, saying if it has any meaning then the writer must mean recurrence. The sun comes every day and the moon completes its cycle and the seasons come and go. If we took a picture of the universe today, the scientists can compute how long it will take to return to this point in the picture. So the intellectual man could justify the verse; but that is not what is meant, for it is addressed not to the man of reason or the man of sense, but to the man of Imagination. What is it all about? “That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been, and God seeks what has been driven away.”
I don’t think that depicting Noah how the Bible describes him would be claiming that he was spared because he was righteous, no he was definitely spared because of Gods grace which he did not earn. But we cannot ignore the fact that the Bible says he was righteous and a preacher of righteousness. So no doubt his behavior WOULD have been much different then those around him and it would have to be for him to be able to preach about it. Noah was in fact behaving in a more righteous way then the rest of the world and God chose him not because of Noah’s behavior but because of Gods grace. Just because your scared of people thinking that Noah was chosen because he was righteous doesn’t mean you just ignore th fact that he was righteous. Your basically saying that our behavior has nothing to do with us being righteous and I don’t believe that is true at all. Yes we are not right with God based on our righteousness but based on Jesus’ righteousness, and because we are given grace and a right standing with God through faith, for that reason we seek to please Him which causes our behavior to stand out when compared to unsaved people, (at least it is supposed to). The Bible is actually very clear that if we cannot be distinguished from the rest of the world, if we look talk and act just like them, then that is pretty good evidence we don’t belong to God. I appreciate FAI but I think this message is very dangerous.
We agree Danny. Noah was set apart and was righteous. What we’re addressing is the source and nature of that righteousness.
@@FRONTIERALLIANCEINTL I understand that, but you have Noah the preacher of righteousness chosen by God as the only person on the earth at that time who would heed Gods warning being depicted as someone who is just like every other person, meaning unsaved. Wouldn’t you agree that Noah had to have stood out and not been like every one else in his day? And wouldn’t you agree it could be a very dangerous thing to make it seem as though God can be pleased with us even though we are just like the world? I appreciate the explanation in this video and understand that this is more for unsaved people then for those who are born again, but even then, you have unsaved people being given this view of Noah that makes them think they can be like Noah in the movie and be like the world and get drunk from time to time and still be right with God. I love you guys and consider you brothers and sister no doubt about it, but I really disagree with the depiction of Noah is all and I think it is definitely dangerous. And again in no way do I think Noah was chosen because of His righteousness but i definitely think He was chosen because of a willingness to follow God and heed is voice, in other words his faith. We are saved through faith right? But faith without works is dead. Not saved by works but if we have a saving faith we have works to accompany it or to back it up which are simply evidence that we have a saving faith. None of that changes that it’s purely by His grace that we are even capable of being saved.
@@dannyb.8615 here’s our take: ua-cam.com/video/JVjXy69WGHk/v-deo.html.
Don’t ever make films that look like Sunday School coloring pages. Go for realism, but especially where it applies to the characteristics of the real humans whom God called to serve Him. No one needs another whitewashed and sugarcoated depiction reminiscent of flannelgraph lessons. The more human you depict the characters, the more reality people will see in the story, and the more likely they will connect to the truth.
Amen
A spirit of division is one who cant give an answer but instead gives accusation of division. What a cheap shot
I wasn’t criticizing. I was saying not to do the ‘norm’ and ascribe undue virtues and hyperclean portrayal of biblical characters. It’s just not realistic, and borders on the heretical. Noah wasn’t a cute little guy with a beard who never did anything wrong. He wasn’t a messiah. He was a sinner. He needed a messiah just like the rest of us, and I think these films show that.
I loved the movie , I love how you made us the audience think just like the men back then about deer skin , I almost cried I also hated him until the end
No ability, Noah-bility, Knowability, Nobility
I have watched daily for you to bring out another one thank you so much God bless
was so stoked to see you guys picking it back up.. Bless you guys for all your work
Thank you so much for this latest video! I have missed y’all doing this study. ✝️
That's awesome that the audience you are trying to reach isn't your usual "I agree with everything on your channel" audience. God bless your ministry. I will pray for you all in these uncertain times. May the Lord protect you all .
So GLAD Days of Noah is not a sugary Hallmark movie! So much more artistic and realistic.
So glad you are back- I missed your encouraging teachings- God bless you dalton & Joel
This video seems like an ad for the film rather than a lesson in Revelation. I'm also watching after the 'revelation' that at this time Dalton was in the 8th year of an love affair outside his marriage and he resigned a few months ago. That said, it shakes my faith that those we are convinced are sharing the Truth, have betrayed who they represent themselves to be. So, Sheep Among Wolves? idk...very confusing.
Someone please convince me that chapters 4-6 of Zechariah are not about nuclear war.
I have been praying since I have learned about the alternate Hebrew translations into modern English vs the more popular old English and the evidence is startling. Specifically chapter 5;
Megila = roll, not scroll
20 cubits high by 10 cubits in breadth = 35ft long and 5.5ft diameter
ishah = fire offering, not woman/wife, they are the exact same Hebrew word: אִשָּׁה
eyphah = container of about 40L, not basket
Heavy metal is translated as "lead" as well, however nuclear material is often encased in lead in warheads
This is my personal understanding of the prophecy;
He saw a flying roll (not scroll), that is 35ft in height and 5.5ft in diameter. He was then told that this is the curse that goes over the whole world. And it will enter the homes of thieves and blasphemers. And it will completely destroy the buildings, even the stones and timbers and leaves a residue of some sort. He then asks what the object is (proving it's not actually a megila, that's just how he's describing it & is completely unfamiliar with the object). He is then told, this is an eyphah (container of about 40L, not basket), & there are many that look very similar to it all over the world. And the eyphah lifted up an amount of heavy metal/lead and in it sits the ishah (fire offering, not woman/wife). He then is told that the fire offering is casted into the mouth of the 40L container (please look up how Gun-type fission weapons detonate. Just as there is no Hebrew word for an ICBM flying across the sky, there is no Hebrew word for Uranium gun type fission detonation). He then saw multiple fire offerings lift up containers of about 40L with wide wings (this might be trails of smoke or the wings of missiles), into the upper atmosphere. He then asks where will they go and is told that this one will go to Babylon (which in Revelation 18:17 will be destroyed in a single hour).

Spot on. I had to stand to applaud. Our thoughts are not His thoughts, our ways not His so we can substitute good for evil so easily. To teach truth with love takes courage and at last I have found such. Your faces are before me these days as I pray and cannot help but remember you before the Lord. So precious, Thankyou sincerely. Yes, I feel we know each other. Be greatly encouraged Dear Joel and Dalton.❤️🦋🇦🇺
Always enjoy your Biblical teaching, especially on prophetic books and passages.
20 minutes in an no word on the subject good bye
Everyone of us is starving for the true meat of the Word of God. I'm 61years old and have probably heard the same messages over and over by various pastors that just can't get passed a certain barrier that keeps them from breaking thru to those decisive moments that were always there but just couldn't see it. A lot of sermons are canned and passed along the internet like cotton candy that don't even require any pastor to study to prove themselves. You can see it too as more and more people do whats right in their own eyes. May the Lord bless FAI ministries for their efforts to bring the gospel message to us and those that would otherwise never hear it.
This "teaching" does a great job explaining the big picture ideas and motivations behind the movie and how it was constructed. But I (and I'm sure many others) would also love a director's commentary version that goes into all the details of the movie and what the reasons were for them.
Yes! Esp the reasoning behind the personality and characteristics they gave to Noah. Did it really match what The Bible says about him?
Amen! "But God!"
Days of Noah was good stuff family and FAI bros and sisters! Thank you for the gift of your craft and perspective.
Glad to see you back. Great as always!
Amen 🙏 Amen 🙏 🙌 find the sinners not the saints brothers and sisters
Your chose about FLESH stuck to future and history when NOW is aways everyday history and tomorrow.
Luke 17:20And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within YOU.
Leaves you a hint about what is history always NOW, same for tomorrow.
Being saved looking and seeing, hear, still looking and waiting outside yourself is common christians flesh protecting shadows.
Paul was only saved as Saul till AWAKING inside himself not NOW history or tomorrow. After waking then FLESH was cast OUT completely no longer wrestly it.
ISAAC same story NOW not just history seen by FLESH it never does inside itself invisible to FLESH same NOW for both seen and not seen,
History is only blinded FLESH waiting, NOW to unseen never history nor tomorrow freakish to FLESH like seen and heard no matter what is good and evil and feeling correct making you properly saved is laughter to GRACE and MERCY always challenge by FLESH shadows. Reincarnation is like any belief yep and no, stars and seasons same yep and no, PROMISE isn't yep and no because FLESH is addicted to saved by emotional tickles, crying thankfull sinner to hard to forget only saved then hoping to yep and no only proper mind can, then yep enters again by always saved, AWAKE throws wooden cross at yep and no FLESH getting burnt by SKULL HILL NOW.
Hi ISAAC hi, how your promises NOW still just I AM?
28Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. 29But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is NNNOOOWWW. Now now now now............
30Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. CAST only then or also NOW??????spank some and there flesh boy like most churches reverse, cast promise is goofy SAULS
31So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free
SPOILER ALERT..Pity I watched this before the monie.. ( kinda ruined the film)
Noah perched for 120 years .he told THE WHOLE WORLD? THE "WHOLE WORLD" .. think about it
You don't believe in Grace... We are Saved by Grace and Grace alone leadt any man BOAST... That means you can do NOTHING to gain Salvation or to loose it once you have it...
YOUR best deeds are but filthy rags in the Eye's of God... Don't try to reinvent the wheel my Brother ..
Stumbled onto your work while couch-ridden with Covid. It has changed my life... from a very backslidden rotten Christian with a deep curiosity about prophecy, to a rededicated Christian wondering where to go from here. Much of what I thought I knew about the end times, from decades of study, was wrong... My mind is not easily changed on religious topics, but you succeeded with a superior method... Using the WHOLE Bible, rational discourse, and logic VS "Fire & Brimstone" rhetoric and cherry-picked scripture. Look forward to digging thru the whole library of FAI material, now that Im apparently at the end of the Revelation sessions. I sure wish you would do a video about the Temple, unless I'm very alone in my fascination with it... I can't tell you why the Temple is such a big deal to me, but I'm sure it's there for a reason.
When Noah took two of every flesh aboard the ark, he obviously brought a male and female of every race on earth. I don’t know how many races He created on the sixth day but I imagine it was either seven or more likely 12, which is the Lord’s number of organization concerning government. Just as He (Elohim) created Adam and Eve on the eighth day after His 1,000 years (to us) rest: 2nd Peter 3:8. They were the kings of the nations with their queens who God brought to the ark. Noah and his family were the only Adamic souls who had no nephilm dna in their blood. That is why he found favor. The flood was to destroy the others. Satan will return with the same fallen ones pretending to be Yeshua and His holy angels. And it will be just like the days of Noah. Read 2nd Thess 2. Ladies cover your heads with Christ or they will have you at their leisure. If you don’t know what happened in the beginning, like these guys you don’t have a chance. Third influx coming soon. Don’t jump in his buggy!
Yes!!! So looking forward to this
I have a really hard time with the grace message as you are framing it. My understanding is this: (and I am glad to flesh this out with you and other viewers)... Noah found favor in God's eyes because of Noah's own righteousness. However, Noah's righteousness falls short of the glory of God and does not earn Noah eternal life. The gift of grace is eternal life, that is something no man can earn by any amount of righteousness. But Noah was more righteous than those around him, and that is why he found favor in God's eyes and was BY GRACE granted foresight into God's judgement and the step-by-step plans to avoid the judgement. [In Summary: Noah's Righteousness = Find Favor with God ... God's Grace = Salvation from God's Judgement]
Noah was removed from the ground where God's judgement fell as Lot was removed from the plain which was judged.
Revelation 3:10
New International Version
10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.
tereo ek means remove from, not in and through.
@Remember Isaiah 40:1 and Isaiah 40:10.
COMFORT YE, COMFORT YE MY PEOPLE!!!
His reward is with Him and His work before Him.
Where can I find the movie Days of Noah? I looked on UA-cam, the FAI app and the FAI website and couldn't find it.
Watched a short video of Netanyahu. He was talking about how the sovereignty of Israel 🇮🇱 and an acceptance of peace. We're on the horizon . If not all but arrived. The naivety of this hopeful certainty gave me the chills. It feels counter intuitive to pray for Israel and her people. Particularly those really good folks that are living in poorer areas that are victims of the random timing of constant violence. And at the same time I am praying that , his assertion that Arab acceptance is taking place throughout the Middle East doesn't change.
Maranatha,
Noah did NOT tell people to build arks.. it wouldn't have mattered anyway.. "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" ... Jesus himself tells us that His will will be done with or without the corrupt naysayer masses. The wicked wicked people.
Credit is never given where due. But delivery is always precise as can be. Usually expected to jump at, do for free. All while burning free wood. Laboring for all to survive. No utility service. And even provide still yet a piece of bread to those with cash in pocket.
I would say if God did not find Noah righteous, Gods creation was a mistake. I know all things where created for His pleasure. Did God find pleasure in their destruction? I would say his wrath was more than his pleasure. Until we see ourselves in good conscience with the presence of God, we face His wrath.
All I can say about this one is even if you end up being misguided about the idea of meeting unbelievers on their own grounds with a “secular” movie in terms of it aiding salvation, there is always something to be said for adding to the justification for gods severity and judgement when they don’t respond how you may expect.
Art in general can be provoking for the Christian who is used to Sunday School narratives. Keep on working on abstract thought provoking art.
Matthew 24 made me think that the deception was Jesus had already come back and we are living in the 1000 years that doesn't make sense at the end of the book of revelation where you think.. why has the devil been given this extra time.
I am thankful for this channel. I just read the bible for the first time. I want to learn about the bible and how to reach others.
Noah earned the boat. And built it through hard works and by following directions. There's a lesson there.
I watched the movie Wow!! We are also living in extraordinary times Christ our Lord is coming soon.
Amen, thank you for this teaching!
Appreciate all of the hard work and teachings. And like the look of trimmed up beard and hair.
Isnt Mathew 24 , a two part message one for the early church and the destruction of the temple and the other for the last days ,
Wow. Would've helped if angels were gonna personally be like the mail. 🤫
When I try to download the app, my phone tells me it's not compatible. Devastating.
Hallelujah Jesus is my hope!
John 14:15;

Treasures out of darkness right at that moment your sentence Dalton 🕊
Grace, being humble and greed I believe are most misunderstood
Make Babylon Desolate Again
