@AllenKski
Thank you very much for this. It was beautiful. May we look to the Messiah with great hope, and be the kind of people he wants us to be.

Interesting
@anezleon
is it just me, or it seemed like tim had a different tone (?) or way of narrating/technique in this video than the other more recent ones [maybe he sounds younger, i can't exactly put my finger on it] haha
@AKMartinMomma
I love all your videos! Keep up the good work! One question about this one: Where does Esther fit in?
@ivansimanjuntak4617
Is it really exodus 33:5 refers to Moses. Because previous verses were talking about YHWH, and hence, verse 5 should refers to YHWH as the Lord rather than Moses.

My favourite quote: "Thou Shall Not Genocide Gaza in order to Take Other People's Land"

1:57: "These scrolls developed throughput the history of Israel". Factually wrong. Israel is a new invention from 1947

@Minecraftbuildmaster-dr
It's great to learn about the history and put the Bible in the correct context. Thank you!
@jORDNjAMESmuSICk
First I want to commend u for your excellent presentations of the Bible. I just l love the art style and easy to follow way u lay things out. I do however have one contention. Jesus will not "be crushed" by the snake as u mentioned. U have gotten that from a bad Bible translation. The KJV has it right where it says "bruise" where ur bible say crush. This is important because there's a messianic prophecy that says no bones will be broken that is fulfilled by the roman soldier choosing to not break the legs of Jesus as is custom in crucifixion. To crush him would imply a breaking of bones. Stick with the KJV or u are likely to find yourself in trouble when texts are cross referenced with others.
@ptime5612
I had to stop watching cause he kept saying Israel

@kanarevelations
5:38 Why were the 613 talmud laws mentioned, specifically, but not the 10 Commandments?
@kanarevelations
4:16 Christ does not get crushed by the serpent,
His heal gets bruised.
@Crowfat
Well done.

The new testament is ignored by most American Christians.

The art work, drawings are excellent. Using them are a great idea.

The book of Job is not fundamentally about why a righteous man suffers. It is about whether God’s governance of the universe is just, trustworthy, and grounded in love rather than transaction. From its opening scene, the question is not Job’s character but God’s moral order. The accuser’s charge is sweeping and theological: that no one loves God freely, that righteousness is merely payment for protection, and that God’s rule collapses the moment blessing is withdrawn. Job becomes the test case not because he is expendable, but because he already stands as living evidence against that accusation.
This is why God’s silence dominates the book. God is not absent; He is restrained. To intervene mid-trial, to explain Himself while the accusation is still being argued, would validate the very claim being made against Him. A judge who interrupts proceedings to defend himself concedes the weakness of his own justice. God allows the charge to unfold fully, not to torment Job, but to expose the lie at the heart of the accuser’s worldview: that love and loyalty only exist when incentivized.
Job’s friends represent the human impulse to rescue God by sacrificing truth. In Job 4 and throughout their speeches, they insist that suffering must be directly caused by God as punishment, that pain is proof of guilt, and that divine justice must always be immediately legible. In doing so, they actually repeat the accuser’s logic. They make God the author of arbitrary suffering and reduce righteousness to a mechanical system of reward and penalty. Their theology sounds pious, but God later condemns it precisely because it misrepresents Him.
Job, by contrast, refuses both easy blame and easy explanations. He does not curse God, but he also refuses to lie about reality. His protest is not rebellion; it is relational fidelity under extreme pressure. This is why Job’s most profound insight is his cry for a mediator, someone who can stand between God and humanity without collapsing justice or silencing suffering. Job senses that the problem is not simply pain, but distance: the absence of an advocate who can bridge heaven and earth without distortion.
That cry finds its answer in Christ. Where Job longed for a daysman who could lay a hand on both God and man, Christ fulfills that role as advocate, mediator, and witness. He does not explain suffering away; He enters it. He does not short-circuit justice; He satisfies it. He does not silence accusation by force; He defeats it by truth and self-giving love. What Job experiences without explanation, Christ reveals through incarnation.
Revelation completes the picture Job never saw. It names the accuser explicitly and shows his accusations silenced not by argument, but by faithful witness, endurance, and the vindication of God’s character. The heavenly courtroom that opens Job also closes in Revelation, where the charge that God is unloving, unjust, or manipulative finally collapses under the weight of sacrificial love.
God’s final speech in Job does not justify suffering case by case because the book is not about justification in that sense. Instead, God reorients reality. He shows that wisdom, care, and moral order extend far beyond human calculation, and that trust in God’s character must precede understanding of His ways. Job is vindicated not because he never questioned, but because he never abandoned the relationship even when answers were withheld.
In the end, Job teaches that suffering does not disprove God’s love, silence does not equal absence, and unanswered pain does not negate justice. The book exists to defend the integrity of God’s rule against the deepest accusation imaginable, and it does so by pointing forward to the only true resolution: a mediator who reveals that God’s love is not transactional, not coercive, and not fragile, but costly, faithful, and victorious.

Like Lt. Col. Frank Slade says in Scent of a Woman, "What a crock of sh1t!!" And by the way where's Noah and Lot and Job?
@marinaaskarova9912
I wonder if it's feasible to make printer books or posters of this information. It's like a mind map with details and visuals, so easy to understand and memorize, especially if one has a certain structured brain that gets overwhelmed with long texts.
Thank you for your work!
@Nat_Sarim777
8:09 – "Pointers to their future "pope"…O…M…G. Wow…There's ratting on yourself, and then there's that. Did I mention "Wow"? Wow…
@johnjohannesjuan
Wow, thanks for that clear explanation. So the whole story pulls towards that one perfect promised king. And I guess Christianity finally resolves that with Jesus being pretty clearly portraied as that very king.

@Piastrilavistababy81
Keep showing the world what Islam looks like! Charlie would be proud! – this is happening in Australia now. The government is a sell out. He just implemented hate speech. Now our politicians can’t even stand up against him or they risk being locked up for the vague laws on what hate is. We also have them coming in by the million yearly. Our infrastructure also is not built for the mass immigration.

Live long enough to become the villain, so your evil can be used to cleanse the world of greater evil.
@kyverwatch
It’s hard to imagine having so much faith in an anonymous text where god creates humans and then punishes them for the way he created them.
@DTopProductions
Sometimes…I PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS, in a situation like someone hollering in your face or trying to attack you…they cant get pass the Blood of Jesus, the SIN LESS Lamb of God…who died on on the cross , shed His Holy Blood , on the Cross as a sacrifice for our sin. He became sin, who knew no sin so we could become the righteousness of God in Him! The Old Testament, they had to sacrifice lambs, etc for their sin…it atonement for they sin covered it, until Jesus came AND TOOK SIN AWAY! NO MORE SACRIFICES! HEBREWS explains it. Jesus is coming back y'all, let's get ready, tell everybody! He's so loving and good! I was at the point of suicide and God said ti me ,Remember on the bus to California? Well, 5 yrs earlier a man led me to Christ? I felt the Holy Spirit over me, saying I was a sinner, I could not speak l, I knew He was right…them the man lead me into the sinners prayer. .Roman's 10: 8 & 9! I became BORN AGAIN as in JOHN 3! THAT WHICH IS BORN OF FLESH, IS FLESH. THAT WHICH IS BORN OF SPIRIT IS SPIRIT! We were born in sin ( thru our parents, now the 2nd birth Jesus said is from on high, Him ! It is so true! If you feel Jesus calling you, you feel this is true, just ask Him to forgive yourself sins…NO MATTER HOW HORRIBLE, HE SAID HE DOESNT TURN ANYONE AWAY! ITS FREE! YOU WILL HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO COMES TO MAKE YOU NEW AND LIVE IN YOU! THEN IF YOU DIE, YOU WILL GO TO HEAVEN OR MORE LIKELY, Since its the end times, you may not even die but get caught up in the rapture, with Jesus. 1 THESSALONIANS 4:13-17, I CORINTHIANS 15! THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME AND I GOT A FRIEND WHI NEVER EVER LEAVES ME WHO LOVES ME AND HE GUVES US THE POWER TO DO MIRACLES IN HIS NAME. Please, if Jesus is calling you, please, ask Him to come into your heart…now! If any man/ woman be in Christ, HE IS A BEW CREATION, Old things have been passed away, but behold ALL THINGS WILL BECOME NEW! Im 68 now! God bless you, I pray if you hear His voice do not harden your heart. .say yes to Jesus and you will really start to live!
I m praying for you! God's putting this on my heart…FOR YOU!❤😂🎉😅
@Whoevenis
I am besides myself when Christians think they can be allied with jews in this day and age. It quite clearly says they are your enemies and the devils playthings.
