Thanks for unpicking the Old Testament , Bryn
We did it! New Testament here we come
I love this Bryn I am really late to this so hope I can still join I've signed up to the newsletter and eager to start. I want to read the bible throughout something I've never done and completely understand what is being said to me because what I tend to do is exactly what you said in your video read not understand read next day understand even less and then I give up so I am praying this will unlock the challenges I face and guide me through to know grow and understand the bible as I should Amen
Welcome to the gang! 😁 the newsletter will give you emails with where we’re at now, which is in the middle of 1 Chronicles. On 22nd August we’re starting the New Testament. The plan is also to keep the emails going next year as well just looping through again so you can pick it up now and then next year read through the Old Testament
Comment to boost you in the algorithm. Good job on your mission, brother. I'm thinking of maybe starting a Christian channel myself.
Thank you so much! I appreciate it. As for the CZcams channel my top tip is make videos that in researching/preparing for it helps you in your faith. That way you grow as a Christian, and any views/subscribers can be considered a bonus
you randomly appeared in my feed! be blessed!
I’m blessed that you found this video and enjoyed it. I hope it and the other help you better understand your Bible
Another prophet done 😀
And not the easiest one 😮💨 it’s all uphill from here 😂
❤thank you Bryn
My pleasure. Loving hearing how much people are getting out of these videos
continuos
Here one view for you👍
Thanks! I seriously appreciate. Just here trying to help people better understand their Bible and enjoy reading it
reading about all of Jeremiah's tribulations, you wonder if God wrote a job description for a prophet, if anyone would apply . I mean, although a tax collector would be equally despised, at least they would have protection from authorities, a decent wage, and maybe a dental plan. what benefits do the prophets get?
You can definitely appreciate why Jeremiah wrestles with God asking why he’s got to do this
I love the comments about not minimizing suffering and how accepting our problems exalts God more by acknowledging that he is greater.
Psalms? Completed it mate 🤷🏻♂️
On a more serious note, appreciate today’s breakdown!
Psalms. I know her. It’s funny going through the psalms a second time and going, “oh that’s some good stuff” as though I’m not just reading stuff I wrote before 😂
My favorite part of Psalm 146 is "Put not your trust in princes,/in mortal man, who cannot save./When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground;/on that very day his plans perish."
A good reminder to us not put all our trust in leaders who can fail, when we can put our trust in God who doesn't
Hey bryn, i would like to edit for you. I am a video editor
Hey, thanks for the offer. I'm not looking for an editor at the moment. But if the CZcams channel picks up and I start doing longer videos I might look into it
Wisdom in unpacking wisdom. I like the idea of picking a chapter a day
I wonder how much misfortune we place upon someone’s own actions - I’ve definitely done this but the last few days are a reminder that I shouldn’t be so quick to make assumptions. I hope that I can be someone who stands firm in faith with those who are going through rough times instead of making the assumption that it’s something to do with them🤔
❤😊
❤😊thank you, Bryn
My pleasure. Great to hear you’re finding these useful
I read I in less than a year sometimes too slow not ok so i alternate i read all then slowly also and of course referance and double checking . I think i did it that way because eading it thos slow doesnt hrlp with big picture .i find i po der then go back deeper and deeper when i go back over smaller parts.im slow readerbut theres do much else like timelines id like to know.at moment im having difficulty reading bible at all, psalms a e one my favourites and proverbs.since was injured with neuroleptics by wicked dr im having difficulty i vould remember bible after just once before too i think its very true that the Holy Spirit springs scripture to mind,im thinking thats what it was.im not satified i understand it enough.i just gotten grips with what worldly things were etc.i had no clue who these false gods were etc .
I'm sorry to hear about your injury. That's tough, particularly if it's impacting your ability to read the Bible. My best trick to understanding the Big picture is to always try to root what you've read each day into the wider narrative of the book. That's what I try and do with the recap in these videos. Another great tool is the BibleProject overview videos and posters. I tend to have one of those at hand so when I'm reading a passage I can always see where we are in the story. I also think part of it is recognising this is a lifetime journey. We spend our whole lives reading and slowly, little by little, building upon our understanding. I'm rooting for you and glad to have you on this journey as we work through the Bible in a year
Isaiah is such a fascinating book, looking forward to getting stuck in!
Appreciate your insights! Ready to start the next book!
Hey Bryn, Still really enjoying your Bible in a year stuff. Today found your comments on the Moabite human sacrifice seeming to appease God's wrath really helpful. Always found that verse hard to make sense of. Also, any thoughts on the significance of Elijah retracing Israel's steps on his journey?
Thanks Jonah! It means a lot. I think there are a couple of things to it. Firstly, by being a subtle nod to that journey the Israelites made many hundreds of years before it causes the reader to stop and think about how far Israel has come (or fallen) in that time. So in that sense it serves as a meditative prompt to the reader. In perhaps a second sense, by Elijah travelling to the other side of the Jordan before handing over to Elisha, it means that Elisha has to recross the Jordan to go back into Israel. So Elisha then represents a new start into the land for the people. At the place Moses handed authority over to Joshua, Elijah is now passing authority to Elisha.
there is a phenomenon called " the Solomon paradox." People can give sound counsel to others , by being detached and engaging the rational mind, but find it difficult to apply the same wisdom to their own lives.
What Biblical aproach is this: Catholic, protestant, Orthodox? What Bible is being used? Thank you.
I don’t really have a particular denominational approach. I come from a Pentecostal background so that will influence my reading a bit but I’m more interested in trying to let the Bible speak for itself. My go to Bible is the ESV but I also use the NIV, NLT, and original Hebrew and Greek
I always thought all good things come from God , and anything evil was from Satan. But here it says an evil spirit was sent by God to torment Saul. I thought God loathed evil ?
Saul always comes across as impulsive with poor emotional regulation. it makes you wonder what his upbringing was like? The bible never mentions his mother. It is clear throughout the bible and life that we are not all born with the same 'hand of cards'. Do you think God takes this into consideration on judgment day? or are we all judged by the same standard , as in a court of law?
Another day, another book!
Reading a whole book in one day ain’t too bad 😂
Really enjoyed this. Keep doing the Lord's work, brother.
Thanks! Appreciate it
We’re in it for the long run not for short term gains. Thanks for dissecting this one Bryn 👍🏿
Thanks Rasheed!
I think todays readings are a reminder to us that if we don’t cut things out of our lives that take us away from God entirely, they always creep back in and eventually put us in a worse place than before. It’s so important to listen to those who have gone before us and keep their wisdom close!
Joshua is one of my favourite books, excited to get stuck in! Really like the point you made - leadership is stepping into what God has already planned. We shouldn’t be surprised by moments of victory when we align ourselves with God.
In Jude 1v9, we see this strange entry of Satan and the angel Michael fighting over Moses' body. Why is it not mentioned here, in Deuteronomy ?
It may just be that it didn't fit with what the narrator of Deuteronomy was trying to communicate. Remember, these writers aren't trying to tell history as we know it. They're trying to communicate theological ideas through Israel's history. We also don't have any written reference to what Jude 1:9 mentions. There is no 2nd Temple literature that says that the devil and Michael fought over Moses' body. Clement of Alexandria claims Jude was quoting a work called the Assumption of Moses, but it's not in any copies we have. It may just be an oral tradition that wasn't written down anywhere but was a story that Jews told one another that Jude is referring to
@brynjoslin that is really interesting. Thankyou. I wondered why they were fighting over the body? I didn't think the early Jews thought much about an after life.
Does the Jewish calander have a leap year? Is it similar to our calander?
The Hebrew calendar is lunar, with 12 lunar months a year. In the 5th century BC a Greek astronomer called Meton suggested an update to the lunar calendar that work in a 19 year cycle. This cycle had 12 years with 12 months and 7 years with 13 months,
Thanks for the tips!!!!
My pleasure. Hope they help
Thanks for this!!!! I am half my yearly plan but after finishing it I will come back to this series!!!!
We’ll still be here 😁 when you do feel free to jump in with wherever we are or start from the beginning. Once I’m finished I’ll keep looping the email newsletter so you’ll be able to continue to get the email notification each day in 2025
I am in!!!!
Great stuff. Feel free to share any thoughts or questions that come up
Thank you so much for your faithfulness in uploading these - the animation studio i work at, my boss enjoys listening to your commentaries :)
That’s so great to hear. Thank you for watching and following along!
One thing that stood out to me was Deuteronomy 9:7 where it says ‘remember and do not forget…’ Does the Hebrew make a distinction between the act of remembrance and forgetting? The way it’s written in English makes it seem like forgetting is the result of not actively remembering. Potentially showing the importance for regular reminders of God’s faithfulness (regular traditional practice and festivals). What do you think?
Another book down! The point you made explaining the difference between individual choice and people doing best for the tribe is so important. Knowing that unlocks so much of what we’re reading
50 days down! I wonder if we can sometimes be like the the tribes of Reuben and Gad, choosing to settle rather than to go into the promises of God. Hindsight is a wonderful thing😅
Hi Bryn do you have any more information on the umin and thurmin please?
It's a great question. They were basically a God ordained way of flipping a coin to decide things, but maybe a little more complicated than that. Some reckon they are quite similar to a coin toss, where the ummin and thumin are a pair of stones with that said yes and the other that said no. Some argue that they were a bag of tiles with letters on, like scrabble, and that the high priest would reach into and pull out three that would spell a word. Still othersa argue they were more like dice with symbols that signfiy different things. Whichever way they worked, the idea was that they were used by the High Priest and that God spoke to his people through them. They were use a number of times in the Bible to decide on matters
I’m always struck by Numbers 11:23 - ‘has my arm lost its power?’ God is quick to remind us of his faithfulness, even in times where we are ungrateful or forgetful of his provision.
Appreciate your honesty! Praying that ultimately we can grow closer to God in the middle of struggling with some of the things in his word
THATS ME!! If anyone does want to read it let me know! Very nerdy Bible stuff but I’m always happy to share!
I like the instruction of keeping God physically in the centre. I think we can often be like that - if anyone else is like me they won’t have a good track record of keeping God in the centre. So, God makes it clear, and ensures the right measures are in place. The instructions God gives us help us keep him in the centre. Structure and order isn’t a bad thing, sometimes we need it!
Looking forward to starting Numbers tomorrow! 🎉
Loving Leviticus so far! Thanks for unpacking it more 🙏🏻
Bro, since when has anyone eve said “loving Leviticus”? 😎
@@brynjoslin now you mention it… maybe no one ever 😅 at least I’ve got someone to go through it with me 😂
Such simple but great truth - God is always available. The fire never goes out!
Really interesting stuff! Thanks Bryn!
Thanks man!
A few thoughts from today: - Passive leadership steers people towards destructive actions. Passive leaders allow people to feed their desire for instant gratification, which often leads to a worse future. Aaron, out of everyone should have been firm in keeping people focused on God. It’s a challenge for us to be firm on what we know to be true, regardless of whether our reality matches up or not. - I find it fascinating how the people were so quick to forget who delivered them. Are we only intent on getting closer to God when eyes are on us? Psalm 103:2 tells us to forget not all his benefits - we need to be active in our remembrance of God’s goodness, lest we forget. When we forget what God has done, and even who he is, the goalposts move, leading us to acting in ways which are not in line to who we claim to be. My prayer based on all of this is that I would always be someone who stands firm in faith, regardless of circumstances, and that I would always be strengthened to do so.
Yeah man. Sometimes you got to tell people no! And the absolute madness that just a few chapter before the Israelites agreed to the covenant and then bailed on it
One thing that stood out to me was Exodus 30:15 - no one’s offering is worth any more than anyone else’s. God levels the playing field, and welcomes us all equally. I can’t buy my way to blessing Also like your thoughts on excellence!
