Wow! God is so brilliant I love it! When you were discussing the parts about the eyes of the Lord, Job 7:20 came to my mind. Job 7:20 (NKJV) Have I sinned? What have I done to You, O watcher of men? Why have You set me as Your target, So that I am a burden to myself?
The relationship between the order of the planets and the sequence of the days of the week can be found by placing them on a seven-pointed star. If you following around the outside edge you get one of those, and if you follow the line of the star you get the other.
I’ve seen depictions of what you’re describing. Without looking at one though, I don’t see how that answers the questions of why each planet with each day. I could be missing something though.
Asherah is so nebulous and it’s basically impossible to know what you’re dealing with at any give point. It’s destruction though seems pretty straight forward: it was idolatrous. The bronze serpent apparently slid into idolatry as well. I may look at it at some point.
@@EulersIdentityCrisis Asherah was perhaps originally sacred groves, but then later sacred poles made from trees. These poles may have had a goddess figure carved on them. I wonder if the poles may have been used in pairs, similar to the pillars on the porch, but I cannot prove it. I also wonder if there might have been a symbolic relationship between the poles and Nehushtan. My theory is that original twin poles were spaced apart with Nehushtan placed as a middle pillar. Nehushtan then might be related to the serpent raised on a pole in the wilderness by Moses. This is similar to Jesus being hung on the cross between two crucified thieves. Again, I have little evidence for these theories which is why I was hoping you might investigate further.
I think the pillars were symbols of the pillars of creation. Dillard in his commentary goes through a couple of theories that have been floated over the years.
@@EulersIdentityCrisis I agree, although perhaps for different reasons. I suspect you are Christian, although you reference mythology and other cultures. There is a legend within Freemasonry that all the knowledge of the antediluvian (pre-flood) world was placed on two pillars in order to survive the cataclysm. I believe that was literally true. Phoenicians were among the cultural inheritors of this tradition. Their alphabet became Hebrew. Their craftsman were consulted in building King Solomon’s Temple, including the formation of the twin pillars on the porch. Twin pillars can also be found in the spiritual traditions of the Druidism (dolmen), Shintoism (torii), Qabalah (Tree of Life), and many others. These pillars are almost always also associated with a sacred alphabet with which God created the Universe. Hopefully you take no offense to these suggestions. ❤️
The lost world of Genesis 1 is good; there are solid reasons to support his thesis. The other lost world books rubbed me the wrong way. Heiser did an episode on his podcast giving a scathing review of one of Walton’s books. It’s worth checking out. I don’t remember if Heiser used the line in that episode but Walton more and more seems to be one of these scholars who “gives people permission to not trust the Bible.” Basically his work more and more seems to be “the Bible doesn’t actually say/mean ___.”
@@EulersIdentityCrisis thank you for that sir. I knew i wasnt the only one in this world that thought something weird about him. Pastor chip Bennett of a church in Florida had interviewed him regarding Genesis and creation. so yeah this scholar is too loose like you said ''does it really say that'. walton is very slick in his interpretations.
But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. Matthew 23:11 The middle of the menorah is called the servant. the Shamash Shamash is the Sun. The Sun provides and requires nothing of the planets. And one can see many other rabbit trails of meaning if wanted to pursue them.
Thank you
Thank you for creating this content. Excellent work
Thanks for watching

Job 7:20 (NKJV)

Loved this it was excellent
Thanks
Will you please do videos of the symbolism of the Asherah and Nehushtan, as well as why they were destroyed?

Why do you consider Walton a mixed bag if you dont mind me asking
