DO you have posters of the animation that is presented here and your video library???
When I watch these, I think they would be great for morning Bible studies before families start their day! The illustrations are very cool! Thanks for posting you all!
My Bible teacher uses them for Bible.
dude i am not christian and i have a question,you guys have holy spirit jesus and the father(god) right i think there should be like 1 god.if he is god he must be the most powerfull right why he needs others (like greek mythology:zeus apollon hera).MY Question is you guys are praying to jesus but you guys shouldnt be praying to god actually like he is the must powerful i guess? please give some light to me.
@@xanderdupont3270 it’s hard to comprehend but Jesus is God. We praise Jesus because Jesus is a representation of God. Plus, to get into heaven, we have to recognize Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Christians don’t believe in greek gods btw.
@@xanderdupont3270 We believe in the holy Trinity, which includes God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus. The reason that we don’t praise three gods and instead we praise one, is because we believe that these are all representations of God, ex. Jesus was God in Human Form, and the Spirit is God in a Spirit, this is why we have our conscience and guilt feelings when we do something not Christ-Like, God is convicting us and helping us to change our ways to reflect him better. Overall, there are gonna be a lot of things we aren’t going to understand, however Gods reasoning for this is the fact that Gods requires one thing from us. That’s Faith, we must believe without seeing and Trust that he has everything in the palm of his hand and under control.
@@xanderdupont3270 and I know you have that unsatisfied feeling no matter what you do, Trust Me, that hole in your heart is where God should be. Right now, just pray, talk to God because he is your father and listens to every word you say. Humble yourself knowing that you need him desperately because you need a Savior. I need you to understand how sinful you are. And how God erases all that sin if you just develop a relationship with him, that all God wants from you. Pray to God all the time, get into God’s Word, and act as a servant/be an example to all and allow others to see Jesus through what you say and do.
I’m praying for you and I pray that you come to know God today. God Bless
I can’t help but think how this story mirrors the current challenges we Disciples of Jesus face today. We live in a world of rampant sexual deviancy and injustice to the poor. If you try to proclaim Jesus’ teachings you are “cancelled” or considered weird and old fashioned. The messages of the call to holiness, love and hope are so needed in the world in my heart! Thanks be to God for the Bible Project and clearing explaining this message. It encourages me to read Thessalonians afresh. May God continue to bless your ministry!
I like the pictures of beaten-up but smiling Thessalonians in 3:33 - 3:43.
Jay Kay I know! So cute haha
Jay Kay hahaha I was just about to write the same!! They made me laugh so much I had to watch it over 3 times 😂😂
If you get the gist of what is happening in 1 Thess, it's not cute at all and should
be taken this way. They were PISSED and wanted revenge for "those who had fallen asleep" those who were murdered is more accurate, these were their friends who
martyred and Paul was warning them to not lash back and let God repay because
70AD was coming (they could not see that but we do) where Jesus would come
on the cloud of Judgment and the souls of those dead would be with them as would
the imprecatory prayers of those still living at the time. Context context context.
Jay Kay yes! I was stirred bu that!
@@2drsdan The end of the world didn't happen in 70AD that is a False interpretation
Amen And God Bless You And Anyone That Reads This ❤
I love these illustrations. When trying to share the GOSPEL with someone, these are faithful and true to the Bible.
These also help the Christians gain a greater respect for the books of our Holy Bible! Thank you so much. I cannot wait to share this one ! May God bless this ministry!
Hey BibleProject, I want to thank all of you for making these incredible videos! You are a blessing for many who want to read the bible, but struggle after a few pages because it's very hard to read.
Speaking for myself, I always had this struggle and wasn't able to make my way through it. You really encourage me to read the bible and the short videos help me to get a better understanding.
I can't thank you enough for what you're doing. God bless you and your work!
Try reading New translations in the contemporary language. 😀
This is such a wonderful source to help give context when studying a Book of the Bible. Thank you for taking the time and effort to edify us all.
I want to give a special thanks to the creator(s) of these videos! Every time I watch these videos I am always blown away with the detail of illustration along with the way you sun up the story in an easy understanding. Every time I finish the chapter in the Bible, I come to one of your overview videos. It gives me a visual representation of what I just read. ❤
Your videos help me understand things more clearly. God bless you and your ministry.
Thank you so much for your hard work to do these videos. I teach Sunday School to women in their 50-60s and this helps me so much to put everything all together, and explains so much about each book. I have started listening to the Podcast as well. God bless you!
Just read this today , thank you for making it clear!
We have a great and merciful God and thank Jesus for taking our sins.
I pray we stay strong is the last days before our Lord comes back
And please keep making more videos!
Very nice editing, smooth transitions I like it.
1 Thess is a masterpiece....and this overview video is a tremendous blessing. Great work.
Thank you for your beautiful works, in art and words! I can't draw a stick figure that looks good so I really enjoy others who are artistic!! I am beginning a new season in my journey by studying books in the bible. I go to these overviews before I begin each one and it is so helpful- I also read the books many times and write in a journal. This is the start of a new year, 2020 and my spirit is telling me it's going to be quite a year!! People like you really help others in their learning of God's word, THANK YOU and may God bless you always
I just finished studying this book and I watching this after really tied up the whole puzzle. These videos are so good, accurate and actually fun to watch. Thank you to the entire team!!! May the Lord increase your work!! 🙏🏽
Thank you for researching, creating, and sharing these videos. I watch prior to each new book study and appreciate the overview.
These illustrations are so great, you do such a great job and it’s so inspiring!! God bless
Thank you Jesus for the BibleProject I haven't met yall irl but you guys are amazing I love you
The artwork makes the message alive and so beautiful. I am totally so very grateful for God's abundant blessings on this ministry. Tears stream down my face when I remember the beginning. Thank You heavenly Father for this awesome ministry. Continued pouring of Your abundant blessing please for Jesus's sake.
Your great service is appreciated. God Bless 🙏🏽💕
LOVE the videos. I like to watch them before I start reading a new book ( I watch it little by little) because it gives a great visual and backstory! Thanks for making these videos they are such a blessing. Also great artwork!!!
Maddy Elliott we do the same thing. Such a blessing.
❤thank you for helping me understand the Bible a little more and Paul’s ministry
I found this Overview to convey one of the most beautiful messages of all your videos. It's so well rounded that I believe it can easily reach the heart of the audience. I hope that's true, just like the way it reached mine.
I agree with you this video explains the historical context, redemptive message of Christ, in the message of the letter extremely well
Hello all. I lead a LifeGroup at my church, and our congregation is participating in a 365-day reading plan to complete the entire NT.......5 chapters a week. Our LifeGroup is summarizing each 5 chapters the following Sunday, to compliment and enhance everyone's reading. These video synopsis are perfect for introducing each NT book.....thank you for the style, content, and presentation. Rev. S. W
Always very humbling to listen to your ministry. Thank you for sharing God's word 🙏
I love these very much. I am in a New Testament class for school and a separate Old Testament class. I listen to these to ease me into each book we are about to get into. These are perfect. Thank you for sharing.
This is great! Thank you so much and more grace in Jesus name🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Excellent overview I’m always impressed by the Bible project
The way I love using these is to watch them before jumping into an in depth study of a book. I have found these to be very edifying and helpful, particularly with Paul’s epistles.
Thank you Bible project for helping some of us understand Gods word. All glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ 🙏
From the life of man and women we have received such a wonderful gift from Jesus.

The Bible Project No! Thank you!
@the bible project,
It appears to me in my esv and kjv version that verse 7 refers that Paul was treating them as children instead of being treated.
Look at verse 6. It gives the opposite to how brash the apostles could have acted but they were gentle (v7)
Or look at verse 8 we were willing to share with you not only the gospel.
And the intention stated is at verse 7, which is because they had love towards this church instead of because this church loved them and they in return treated them well.
Hope this helps

ISAIAH 52 - 1 THESSALONIANS
“For you shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight; for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.” (Isaiah 52:12)
WORDS BY: JESUS
"Rapture or no rapture? It’s not a matter of whether or not it is real; for to some I will say it is and to others I will say it is not. It all depends if you view it as I do. If you view it as being taken away from the Earth while darkness covers the Earth, then you have missed the purpose of the kingdom of God and the things which you are preparing for. You have missed the purpose of Isaiah 60 and the promise of the manifested sons who will reveal the glory in dark times. My interpretation of My coming is not understood by many. You will not go out with haste nor by flight as many expect. My coming must first come through My people. Then they will be a light in a dark place. Yes there will be darkness on the Earth and deep darkness the people, but the glory that comes through that time is far more powerful than the darkness that will soon come. So rapture or no rapture is not your concern. Your concern should be whether or not you are prepared or preparing for My revealing. Will you be found worthy to carry My glory? It will not come to those who lived for themselves but only those who were faithful to Me with the times that were given to them.
Understanding the times and the seasons is important, but what’s more important than this is being ready in and out of season. I will come at an hour you do not expect so do not waste your life so carelessly with the attitude of indifference less you be found sleeping when I come. Be sober and vigilant when times seem least important; for such people will be found ready and worthy to carry My presence. I will then go before you, I will arise over you, I will be your rear guard and My glory will be seen upon you."
@@redeagleministries5409 good point. Still like to know where the place of safety is if we are here...
Well presented. Thanks so much. To God be the glory.
Thank you for making it easier for us to understand reading the Bible. What we read makes more sense after watching your videos. May the Lord bless you more.
I read this book Corinthians 1, for about the 6th time and a cant believe for the first time it totally jumped out at me at just how ahead of it's time it was. This was nearly 2000 years ago and Paul speaks in terms of
* My brothers and sisters
* A husband should respect his wife and a wife do the same
* dont concern yourself with revenge and show love instead
It amazes me that nearly 2000 years ago, Paul was directing his message of love and Christ to both men and woman, that was absolutely unheard of at the time. It would be 1800 years later before important messages were directed at " My Brothers and Sisters ". What a wonderful letter Paul. God bless❤✝️❤
People don't understand that the EARTH is The Kingdom God! Jesus will come and be the King of this EARTH when he returns. Thank you, you guys are one of the first people I've seen on CZcams who understands the message Jesus brought- the Kingdom of God. 🙌🏽
I LOVE these summeries, i get so much from them ; I understand the Bible chapters better and gives me things to think on. Thank you!
1 Thessalonians 4:17 King James Version (KJV)
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
@@affordablecustomehr4845 Well the "Kingdom" will be established after the millennial reign. After Satan is loosed and defeated forever. I don't agree with the post tribulation RAPTURE theory. I believe in the pre-trib rapture. Although people will be saved in the tribulation and millennial reign.
@@affordablecustomehr4845 are you referring to Replacement Theology, where the Church is the new Israel.....
@@affordablecustomehr4845 The last chapters of Revelation speak about the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven. Read the final chapters of Revelations.
I also found it odd that the Rapture verse was avoided. Didn't fit into the Revelation outline either.
Sherwin Gaddis The New Jerusalem!
Do some study on Escatology! Book of Revelation and Daniel!
I like how you break down the books of the bible it helps give a visual of what I read to put together a current meaning so that I can have a more understanding of the bible in itself
Thank you for this overview & all the others you do. It's such a great refresher to go back to and so well done.
Fantastic! This is one of my favorites. Paul’s theology is incredible.
Watching these videos always makes me excited to start reading the book they discuss. Thanks for the effort your team has put into making them and advancing the joy of the gospel.
I love the image at 3:34 of the Thessalonians all beat up with black eyes, crutches, arm in a sling, and stone being thrown at them, but they're smiling and saying "We're going strong!" True grace under persecution ❤
Talk about providence! I was spending some time meditating over that image.
I found the image strange, and I had to take some time to process it. First, kudos to the illustrator for not hiding the truth that going through persecution can look like that. Second, we in America (and in the West as a whole) have no idea what persecution is. (Indeed, some people who teach in the name of Jesus falsely say that being Christian is a ticket to a life of ease and comfort!) Third, we need to lean on Jesus so that we can smile if we end up looking like that for His sake.
I saw your comment after I was done.
These are shared in our 2023 daily devotional book, by our church. Thank you!!! ❤
Thank you so much for this channel and content! Countless people appreciate all God is doing through you!
My husband is a minister and he doesn’t preach his background without Bible project. He loves these videos
Thank you for your superb work. I look forward to what is to come including Ephesians and Romans.
Hi bible project. I like your summary. It's very detailed. Thanks for all the hard work that you do on a daily basis to bring us this projects about our Creator and His teachings. The only thing I notice is that towards the end there was a contradiction of Christ's kingdom. You stated that Christ will establish an earthly kingdom, which is not biblical, and then you said that He already started a kingdom. You got the latter right. That kingdom that He started in Acts 2 is the everlasting kingdom. Hebrews 12:28. We have already received His kingdom so when he appears again it will be the end, judgement day. Chapter 4 states that we who are alive will meet Him in the air, that's when he delivers his Church which is His kingdom to His Father 1 Corinthians 15:24. We always have to remember to see His kingdom as a heavenly kingdom not an earthly kingdom John 18:36. Christ already finished his work here on earth John 17:4. The bible doesn't contradict itself. Hebrew 9:28 states that when he appears again it will have no relation with sin. He conquered sin at the cross. Common sense tells us that. Please think for heavenly bound when He appears again. Philippians 3:18-21. God bless you all
Thank you this has been a great help for me since I started to read the bible❤️❤️❤️❤️
As always, fantastic video and production. If there was an Oscar for those, they should win!
Thank you so much Bible project team for sharing your labor of love❤ God reward you bountifully🙏🏼🙏🏼
Just as like many have said here before, you guys are such a blessing to many for all of your good work for the body of Christ! Thank you so very much for everything and God bless you abundantly!
Thank you so much for making this series! I love watching these for further study after I finish a book.
I wonder what would happen if you summarized from the King James 😯 I love the KJ cause it’s so profound, applicable, and sharp with it’s words. Almost (is) divine
Thank you so much as I read the Bible and listening to this utube I'm bless to hear this amen
GOD LOVES YOU
Whenever i want to read the bible but don't understand it i watch these!
I appreciate the clarity of 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, which leaves no room for doubt about the condition of the deceased. Verse 13 explicitly describes them as being in a state of "sleep," indicating their lack of awareness, countering some teachings that suggest the departed souls are aware of the living. Furthermore, verse 16 emphasizes the resurrection of the dead in Christ, challenging the notion of their presence in heaven, as their resurrection occurs from the ground rather than being in the clouds with Jesus. This passage unmistakably highlights that we are living souls, not possessors of souls, and that upon death, we remain unconscious, awaiting Jesus' second coming here on Earth.
Yes but, how in the world would Paul know that?
Nothing much has changed. America is experiencing the same type of culture and government today. God’s word will stand forever.
Excellent !!... Praise God 😇
Thank you for sharing. .... God bless your efforts!
Another great video man! I'm going through reading and studying the NT and these overviews help out so much!
Thank you so much for your helpful and educational videos
Great job with these. Glad you’re doing it!
I always watch this first before reading the book. Idk if this was a personal or school project but God Bless your dedication.
Thank you for the overview. Enjoyed.
🙏❤
Thank you for doing these explanations; Im using it as my first study of the book then I read the book.
may we look forward to the return of our Lord!
GOD BE PRAISED!!! Incredible breakdown!
Beautifully conveyed through illustrations!! A great help to teach the Sunday school children and to learn as adults! God bless.
I read these before reading the book. It helps me understand better.
I love your videos. God bless you for making them.
amen amen! God is already blessing your work!
Thank very much for bible project, it hepl me so much to understant the bible
Thank you very very much for sharing the living Word greatly appreciated it.
Christian leadership is not about power nor having influence, but staying humble! Amen!
WOW! The fact that God was like reacts Acts I was like …mmm na I kept flipping and I was like oh first Thessalonians and then they’re tied together is beautiful thing. Thank you for this video Amazing illustrations & explanations Thank you🫶🏽
Cute illustrations...very clear explanation!!! Thank you so muchhhhh, for making theseee!❤️
Very informative. Just what I was looking for. Thank you!
May God INCREASE YOUR/OUR Love, Hope and Holiness. Great Videos
👏🏻🤩👏🏻💜🙏🏼🙌🏻🌻 Thank You BibleProject 😍
Thank you! I love your channels. It gives hope to watch with my studies, and hope because so many are responding. Where i live, church goers are still angry and hateful of anyone who does not think and talk like they do. If you do not hate a certain political group and embrace the craziness of the other, you are rather shunned. How do you get this wonderful message of Biblical Christianity across to today's Church? Sometimes it seems pagans have more love and compassion. I do not know how to survive in churches who treat us so coldly because we are Biblically motivated, not politically motivated and stamping it, Christian. We have become our own enemy.
Epic Illustrated Teaching!! Brilliant 🙌🏻
5:27 -- I first learned about this in R.C Sproul's "The Last Days According To Jesus". And, as a Partial Preterist, this is what I believe the rapture will be; not a divine escape pod so we'll be safe while God bombards humanity for 7 years or so we'll be free from a global anti-Christ's persecution, but rather the rapture will occur so that we can greet King Jesus as He arrives back into this world, ready to finalize the inauguration of His kingdom that began in the first century A.D (The Kingdom of God is "already, but not yet" as N.T Wright and Michael Heiser put it).
My bible study and I have been dedicated to the book of Jude all year but I feel called to do some self study on a book of my choice in the holidays. I feel drawn to Thessalonians
GREAT JOB I LOVE THE ILLUSTRATIONS IT'S UNIQUE AND DONE VERY WELL. GOD BLESS AND WERE SENDING YOU LOVE AND ALOHA FROM THE BIG ISLAND HAWAII.
Excellent visual impact with major❤ themes highlighted
I LOVE IT,,
,GOD BLESS US ALL.
Tayo bus

The Bible Project May the good Lord reward you for all the good works you do for his kingdom...AMEN!!!!
Thank you,Team🌹⭐🌹
I loved this...well done..
God Bless you, Bible Project!
So thankful to Gid for the Bible project ❤
So I'm starting to think, The Bible Project does not support a Pre-Trib rapture. I personally haven't made up my mind on the topic, since it's not a Salvation issue but interesting to hear his take on it.
Jonathan Cross they referenced a rapture in this video
+He will add a Knight They referenced the verse but they said it depicts the people ushering in the King , meaning you don't get caught up in the sky and go to heaven, you get caught up in the sky to usher Jesus back down to earth. That's not a rapture , it's just being taking into the sky and back down.
They didn't say the saints come straight back down, just that they would
+He will add a Knight Well which is it, in the example they gave it would seem as if it's straight back down, because, when you met a King outside gate you went back in right after him. That's why I assumed they were not pre trib. But I could be wrong.
Keep in mind in the context of the book itself it isn't clear what happens, as in how immediate the saints return with Jesus. I think they did a good job illustrating according to the context of the book.
Thank you for the beautiful illustrations
Excellent, thank you!
I'm reading Foxe's Book of Martyrs along with 1st Thessalonians. This world is truly not worthy of those who loved Jesus more than their own lives.
These videos are great, and the animations are wonderful.
Beautiful, thank you. Stay blessed.
