      Prophet Kacou Philippe:
      16. Some say: "Do not say, this is the voice of Matthew 25:6.", “I’m the only prophet on the earth”… But I will! They have no biblical foundation and cannot do it. When Gabriel comes, he says: "I am Gabriel, who stand before God, fear not ..." John the Baptist says: "This is he who has been spoken of through Isaiah ..." Matthew 3:1 to 3. I will do it again, you do not have any portion with us, keep quiet! And I will condemn you by naming you, even if you call that insults, judgments, or arrogance, that is what your fathers did to the Lord Jesus. Let’s read that: John 8:13-14: "... Thou bearest witness concerning Thyself ..." and Luke 11:45:" thou insultest us". You see? Demons do not die. Sons of the devil, sons of Belial! Leave them! I will not let myself be distracted.
      17. They are wicked ones and the Bible says in Daniel 12 that they will not understand. While people make all their effort to progress, after the example of the brethren sitting here; some travel tens of kilometers every Sunday morning to be here. See the brothers and sisters of Port-Bouët… if there was no lagoon, several would walk to be here! [Ed: The congregation shouts "Amen!"] And instead of accepting that, they talk of collaboration. I prefer death to collaboration. They are obliged to humbly come here to have eternal Life; it is "Thus saith the Lord!" [Ed: The congregation says: “Amen!”]
      18. Today, on the whole face of the earth, no one can be saved outside what I Prophet Kacou Philippe, I preach. I am the only prophet that the Lord Jesus-Christ has sent to mankind. Like in the time of Noah, I, Kacou Philippe, slave of Jesus Christ, I am the only one and no one can be saved outside what I preach. [Ed: The congregation says: “Amen!”]

      @@Felishamois Good list, but I would definitely add TimeGhost History and World War 2 channels. From people, who co-created The Great War (including Indy himself). They are also about to lunch a channel in cooperation with the Sabaton metal band. ;)
      Beside that:
      - Historiograph and TIK for even more mostly WW2 military history (the later goes very in-depth).
      - The History Guy makes video essays on a variety of topics he finds interesting, with a slight focus on American history.
      - M.Laser is a good, very underappreciated channel, also with wide range of topics, but focusing on the history of Europe, especially Central.
      - Potential History and Jack Rackam are good channels presenting history in a slightly humorous way (one particularly likes modern military history, other biographies of historical figures).
      - HistoryMarche is a very good channel similar to Bazbattles and Kings and Generals
      - There are multiple channels similar to Ollie Bye and Emperor Tigerstar. I personally particularly like Danzig HD Mapper.
      - The Cynical Historian does reviews of historical movies, similar to the History Buffs, but also other types of videos on historical and history-related topics.
      There are so many others worth mentioning, I can't keep up with all of them. Which, I suppose is a good problem to have.

    Awesome video as always my friend! Fantastic information that you're bringing forth for us. I love the opportunity to learn about so much that is entirely obscure to so many.
    I definitely recommend giving us some videos regarding the Kingdoms of Strathclyde and Moray, as well as the Kingdom of the Isles, and their relationship with Alba.
    This might mean revisiting topics like Macbeth and Gudred Crovan, but considering the richness of the historical tapestry, is that truly so bad?
    Also good to hear more about Brunaburh. It is interesting to wonder, considering the impending arrival of Canute and Guillaume, whether anything would have been changed if Aethelstan had lost.
    If you have covered the birth and now consolidation of Scotland, surely now is time for the Davidian Revolution and the modernization of Scotland?

      He annoyed Northumbria by murdering their King Oswald. St. chad, from Lindisfarne came to Mercia and establish a Cathedral at Lichfield. Chad walked miles to convert the last pagan kingdom of Mercia and did convert Peada and Wulfhere. The place names locally still reflect the old Saxon gods e.g. Wednesfield - Wodensfield and Wednesbury. I used to live in a tiny village called Chadsmoor. It is supposed to be at this time the Staffordshire Hoard was buried.

      Dal Riata was a powerful Irish kingdom, established in the west of Scotland in the 5th century, and maybe as early as the 1st century. The Picts had been in close contact with Irish culture for centuries by the time of Constantine. Dal Riata broke away from Irish over-lordship in the 7th century. And this is when the notion of Scotland as a national identity, defined by geography, began to form. The Gaelic culture was not aggressive, but it was highly literate and left a good record of itself. The Picts didn't write. And so when they went into alliance with the Gaelic kings their identity was absorbed into the character of Gaelic Scotland. IMHO.
