Countries Mentioned in the Bible
Ever wondered which countries are actually referenced in the Bible? In this video, I'll explore just that, and create a neat new "Bible Accurate" map in the process!
These biblical lands stretch over a massive geographical area. From the rich African Kingdoms of Kush to the exotic maritime ports of ancient Ophir, the biblical writers knew of regions that lay on the periphery of the known world. When used as a historical document, the Bible is a snapshot in time into the surprising world of early trade. Finding real-world locations in the Bible reveals how connected the ancient world was.
Is your country there? If not, should your country be on there? I’d be curious to hear whether the eastern land of Sinim mentioned in Isaiah 49:12, could be a reference to China.
A few notes about the map. When the Bible was written, "countries" as we know them today didn’t even exist. Plus, there’s no one version of it that all Christians can agree on (although that would be nice). I am using the NRSV. What's more, I have taken Scythia to mean Bulgaria and Romania (as in Scythia Minor). I ought to have included Ukraine into this mix too but hey, Scythia has always been notoriously difficult to define! Also, Arabic not Aramaic.
I hope you enjoyed this video, I enjoyed making it. I have an exciting personal milestone this end - I'll be moving into full-time employment! Don't worry, I won't disappear entirely but I will, unfortunately, be uploading less frequently. I am always so grateful for this amazing platform and your amazing viewership over this exciting chapter of my story.

Making a Deal with the Devil: Pros & Cons
zhlédnutí 480KPřed rokem
Throughout history, there are many curious tales of people who gain unimaginable wealth and talent under suspicious circumstances. If the legends are to be believed, the price tag is a lifetime of loyalty and servitude to the Devil. But when it comes to selling your soul for earthly gain, there’s a lot you ought to think about. I’d hate for you to enter a diabolical contact uninformed, so I hav...
Art of the Unconscious Mind

This video is about the origins of surreal art, and the many attempts to depict the unconscious mind. From apocalyptic dream art to impossible landscapes, fantastical painting has had a long history.

God's Biblical Kill Count Explained

It’s no secret that the God of the Bible has a dark side. Throughout the Old Testament, God is responsible for a slew of natural disasters: from erasing life on Earth in an apocalyptic to unleashing devastating plagues of biblical proportions.

Psychedelics in Christian Art

For many years now, people have noticed psychedelic mushrooms throughout religious art. Often in scenes from the Bible. In fact, across medieval artworks, you’ll seem to find these “mushrooms” everywhere. Like the Plaincourault fresco, that 12th-century wall painting of the Garden of Eden. It’s a bizarre image, the tree of knowledge looks like a giant fungus. Then there are the visions of Hilde...

The Quest To Become A Freemason

From visiting the Grand Lodge in London to learning the Rituals and ...
The Gospel of Jesus' Wife

What if Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, what if they have descendants that live amongst us? This idea forms the basis of the Da Vinci Code, and is a central theme of the gnostic gospels. But it’s not just the realm of fiction or conspiracy. You see, there’s an ancient Christian text that seems to confirm this theory. It’s a tiny fragment of papyrus with an astonishing revelation - that Jes...

    Sorry, but those peta phrases are ridiculous 🙄 Skinning a cat or the dead horse one either have died out or are in the process. They just sound too horrible. Letting the cat out of the bag has no relation these days to old days. It’s just a fun phrase. I think people think of it more like - once you get your cat into its carrier, for heaven’s sake, don’t let it get out! 😋🐈🌷🌱

    This really is a fascinating collection of satiric prints and the narrative is interesting. 7:25 interestingly, the two priests have “birds” perched on their hands. The middle one has real bird sort of like a pigeon or dove. While the other seems to have a birdlike jester on his. It’s cap has the three points. Also, the middle one looks very haughty to me (not in pain), holding head up in superiority. Sure are quite a few male protuberances in these weird drawings 😋 Thanks much for this.

    The Bible consists of 66 books with the Vatican hiding many that could reveal other truths about Jesus life. Why is it so absurd that Jesus a grown man would not take a wife and even procreate. The Vatican is a demonic entity that has been abusing children for centuries. Maybe they wanted to discourage family by revealing he took a wife which seems normal and natural.

The light of the ark between the two heruvims stoped to shine and the Name of God left the earth and the israelits at that time. My point is that the ark was still in the temple 33 years after Jesus Crist.

    It's not a Darker side it's the following: 1.- He OWNS everything in creation, including you. 2.-He's the source of Good, you're NOT even close. 3.-He's the source of Justice, you are NOT better than Him at that, just a copy. 4.-If He killed someone it's because they deserved it. Other than in Number 5. 5.- He is in fact so Loving and Just that He CHOSE to Kill Himself not only by the hand of the Romans Physically but Also Spiritually when The Father forsake The Son so you wouldn't have to be Eternally killed. 6.-He's is Holy, that means set apart, different from everything He created. Because He's Holy He can't withstand Imperfection, so He has to destroy Sin and the solution is Number 5 because He's Good and Just and Holy and we're not fully that. Hence He died for you. That IS the essence of the Gospel, Humans trying to reach God and failing and God coming down and becoming Human in order to reach us because of the dynamic listed above. If that doesn't satisfy you or elicit anything, examine your own conscience long enough. You pretending to Judge God is the worst thing you could do to yourself, you DEPEND on Him for everything, and yet do evil things, however small. He doesn't depend on you. When He killed the Canaanites via Israel and Joshua it was because the Canaanites had been performing child sacrifice for 400 years and didn't listen to Him asking them to stop. It was punishment for their perversion.
