There is no one named Jesus in the old testament... You do understand LORD = YHWH rather YaHU'aH 🧐 Exodus 3:15, 34:14 & Proverbs 22:1, Job 38:1-3, MatithYahu 12:36..... As such, Proverbs 25:2, as YeremiYahu 16:19 is true, therefore 1 Corinthians 10:20 is also true...

What other "HEAVENS" are there? Scripture reiterates "created the HEAVENS" in the book of John. Is HEAVENS referring to the unseen realm? Celestial and Terrestrial bodies 1 Corinthians 15:40-50? It would be awesome to see a teaching on that.

This is my bio. In the beginning God created me but my heart was without form and void and darkness was over the face of my future and eternity. And the Spirit of God moved upon my soul. And God said, Let there be light and there was light in my spirit. Then God divided the light from the darkness. That’s why when someone is wholly given over to sin the Christian says, “I just can’t see why they would do such things.” Because you are in the light and you can’t see from the light into the darkness.

Manuel Lacunza, a Jesuit Priest invented the Rapture. Manuel Lacunza (1731-1801), a Jesuit priest (under the Jewish pseudonym Juan Josafat Ben Ezra), wrote an apocalyptic work entitled "La venida del Mesías en gloria y majestad" (The Coming of the Messiah in Glory and Majesty). The book appeared first in 1811 and in 1827, it was translated into English by the Scottish minister Edward Irving. In 1825, Irving accepted the One-Man Antichrist idea of Catholic Jesuit priests Robert Bellarmine and Francisco Ribera. During the 1970s, belief in the rapture became popular in wider circles, because of the books of Hal Lindsey, including The Late Great Planet Earth, which has reportedly sold between 15 million and 35 million copies, and the movie A Thief in the Night. In 1995, the doctrine of the pre-tribulation rapture was further popularized by Tim LaHaye's Left Behind series of books, which sold tens of millions of copies and was made into several movies and four real-time strategy video games.

Vs 1....God created the earth....period. In its beginning the earth in its newborn state was indeed without form/void. Now God creates His perfect order. A prelude to salvation bringing Heavenly order to our sinful, chaotic life.

[@paulm7347]

@@cbknight6882 Unfortunately, your statement contradicts the bible! Genesis 1:1 is both a Statement of Fact and a Prophecy! God creates everything perfectly as there is no mistake in God's work! In Hebrew, there is 2 words for Creation. Asah whose definition is to Make seen or reveal. The second is Barah which is to create from nothing. Genesis 1:1 uses the word Barah. Where as in Genesis 1:3 uses Asah to reveal. This is because the Sun and moon was already created and earth was in darkness of dust and water. God simply removed the dust and water so that the sun and moon was revealed. Although the King James version is by far the most accurate version for English it used both Greek and Ashkenazi Hebrew which is different from what Jesus used when He taught and spoke. Jesus both spoke and wrote in Hebrew! He also spoke Greek and Aramaic as the people of Israel at that time spoke all 3. To read the torah as Jesus did, means he could read and write Hebrew. Just an FYI point. The Bible tells us why in Genesis 1:2 was without form and void. God Himself destroyed it out of His Fierce Anger! Jeremiah 4:23-28. These verses also acknowledge the existence of a Pre Adamite race. Who they were is not revealed by the bible other than they did not appear as the Modern Man. This is why in Genesis when God gets to mankind for creation, God make a point to make Mankind in God's image. This statement is overlooked by most people as to its full meaning. Not only does mankind look like God's visible form who is Christ but we also reflect God in the same trinitarian state. God is larger than any kind of measure you can think of meaning Larger than the universe and is an invisible spirit. Job 7:9-11. God anyone will ever see is Jesus! Jesus is the physical visible part of God that creates and interacts with all that is created and in existence. Jesus calls the full complete God Father because God created a human body for Jesus to full fill the prophecy in Genesis 1:1 which is also the outline and premises of the Bible. Jesus is both God and Son at the same time. The visible part of Almighty God looks like a common Man. Jesus was physically described by several people like Pontius Pilate who sent a letter to Rome that contained a small general description of what Jesus looked like. Jesus was described as being as a golden blonde with blue eyes slightly taller than average with a well formed body but no other special features. This is also verified by the Governor of Syria who also sent a letter to Rome describing Jesus as Jesus was doing remarkable miracles. Both of these letters are known. The first is in Italian National archives and the second is in the Vatican library. Just be careful! Do not take anyone's word about the bible or its contents. The bible is the source. Verify all statements through this lens. Do not even take my word. Verify it. You will be shocked when you really read the bible contemplatively with prayer.

Do you not realize that the bible describes, for example, Solomon, Kind David's son as having red hair and having skin color that is also reddish in nature. A color that modern people would associate with Native Americans? Noah was Blonde haired and blue eyed! Elijah also was considered a blonde. In the bible, blonde hair out of the normal was a mark of divine work of God. See, Genesis about Noah when Enoch was consulted about Noah's white hair blue eyes and very white appearance. The description of Jesus is found in 3 letters that can be read in Italy. One is in the Vatican and the 2nd and 3rd is in the Italian National Museum. People assume things that are just not true. Example, There are blonde haired and blue eyed people in Northern India into Pakistan up in Eastern Afghanistan. They have been there for thousands of years! China does not like to talk about the Blonde and Red haired white people that lived and dominated in Western China on the eastern side of the Gobi. It defeats the Communist Party's narrative of the Chin being the only proper ethnic race. In fact, there are still native whites living in far western China. People just assume they were Russian and they were during the Russian Czar imperial period. But they were always in the location that they are today. Even in Alexander's time, there were blonde people. In fact, Alexander the great was blonde. Stop being racist and making assumptions. Facts are Facts.

[@AboveReproachMinistry]

I agree at some point God would’ve had to create the already existing raw material. The point of their study is to show you that genesis doesn’t tell us how those things came about. We infer these things into the text. I agree God is the source of all things. Nothing exists without God. But Genesis doesn’t tell us when or how these things came about. It just starts off the narrative with these things already present 👍🏼

[@AboveReproachMinistry]

You say this ministry is wrongly named and I’m not above reproach. Read this fully: First, I am not claiming to be above correction, above learning, or perfect in my teaching. That would be ridiculous. I am constantly learning, correcting my theology, and I even make mistakes in what I teach because I am fallible. So, no I am not claiming to be above correction or perfect in my teaching. So, what does it mean? First, Scripture says repeatedly that those who are in Christ ARE above reproach in the sight of God. God has removed our reproach (shame, humiliation, penalty for sin etc) because Jesus has taken our reproach upon Himself (Hebrews 13:13, Luke 1:25). Because of this, God now declares us to be above reproach. This is God's decree, not mine. This is our identity and position before God according to Colossians 1:22. Therefore, it is not improper to refer to ourselves as above reproach. BUT, this doesn't mean that our conduct and teaching are always above reproach. This is why Scripture tells us to seek to live in such a way and teach in such a way that is above reproach. Elders of the church are required to be those who are above reproach (1 Timothy 3:2, 5:7. 6:14). SO, here is why this ministry is above reproach ministry. We are seeking to live and teach the word of God in such a way that is above reproach. This means we do our best to faithfully teach God's word honorably, accurately, compassionately, and honestly. We are pursuing a life and witness that is above reproach. The name speaks to what we're aiming for, and desiring to live like, but at the same time, it speaks to who we are already in Christ.

[@stephenstrager9852]

@@Gardening-Gaston “And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister.” Colossians 1:21-23 In short: We are above reproach (in God’s eyes) when we remain beneath Jesus. The name of this ministry is so remarkable because it agitates people on a fairly regular basis, yet it draws those who are agitated directly into the absolute heart of why Jesus did what he did: He lived above reproach and died unjustly so that he could give his sacrifice to God on our behalf. This makes those of us who accept Jesus’s sacrifice above reproach in God’s eyes. Without that, we cannot reenter the kingdom of God and live eternally with Him.

In verse 1 we have time ( In the beginning), next, we have space (the heavens), and finally, we have matter. They were all created at the same time and this is where we get our space-time-matter continuum. When God says, Let there be light, we have energy. It's all connected and part of God's divine plan.

[@TheyStoleMyHandleAgain]

Nothing wrong with it being inductive and extrapolative---but "prideful" Where are you discerning that from? Or is that the result of it being an inductive study? There are many different methods of teaching, and studying God's Word. Some work better than others, all of the methods involve personal opinion, just like your belief that the "I am that I am" name follows the direction that you lay out, rather than another - - No one knows how ancient Hebrew sounded except God and those who spoke it. Vowels were pointed rather than being written out. For the most part, vowels were added to the manuscripts by scribes long after the death of Moses. So, what is prideful in his teaching? He has an opinion? So do you. Indeed, pride was original sin, both on the part of Satan as well as Adam and Eve.

[@ericksonpereira7443]

First off, I want to express how much I appreciate your videos and the depth of analysis you bring to the biblical texts. I see Genesis 1:1 not just as an introductory statement but as a foundational declaration that "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." This verse sets the stage for everything that follows, establishing that everything comes into existence through God's creative act. From this perspective, verse 1 encompasses the entire act of creation, serving as a summary statement of God's sovereign power to bring forth all things. I particularly resonate with your view that the light mentioned isn't merely physical but signifies something more profound-perhaps a representation of order, goodness, and God's presence being introduced into the cosmos. This light in verse 3, which precedes the creation of physical light sources on the fourth day, could indeed be seen as a spiritual light or a divine energy that fosters life and order on Earth. The naming of "Day" and "Darkness" as "Night" by God is a powerful declaration of His authority over time and creation. It introduces a rhythm and order to the cosmos that is independent of the physical bodies we typically associate with these periods. This act of naming and separating demonstrates God's ability to bring order out of chaos. The subsequent creation of the sun, moon, and stars on the fourth day to govern the day and night, and to serve as signs for seasons, days, and years, indeed introduces physical entities that humanity can observe.

I love the way you broke this down. Just one more thing that I picked up on was the word good, as another reference to Jesus... in the new testament Jesus points out no one is good but God, and the spoken word "let there be light" seems to be another picture of God sending his son, the light of the world, and calling it good. Confirming that Jesus is God in flesh. I hope that made sense 😂

I’m answering from my own experience(if you don’t mind…) It was really hard for me too in the beginning. I had little understanding & having a hunger I started with a verse at a time & got some trusted commentary but did not stop…it was about perseverance & patience ….the want, will & faith that kept me studying. Then, one day before I realized it I was reading and understanding better than I had ever. I was shocked. It was like the Word was being written in my heart not by memorization but from the love of His Words & for Him. I fell in love with Jesus through His Word. Wanting to abide in His Word….praying for understanding, wisdom, knowledge, and discernment . Then it all changed for me one day. I believe that is part of our walk with Christ… persevere through each obstacle. Keep reading, keep studying, it will come before you realize it & the Holy Spirit will guide you. God bless you & keep you always. I hope this can help you even just a little bit. Keep that hunger for Jesus, abiding in Him and His Word and He will bless you one day the more you seek Him & His Words!

There is an unknown time period between verses 1 & 2. Like he said, the first verse is a summary. God DID create everything out of nothing at all. But in verse 2, those materials are already there. There’s actually a great theory about a war between the heavenly host and the fallen host. Which is what brought the state of things. The formless and void earth, and so on. Fallen angelic beings warring with Michael and the holy angels. Because Satan was ALREADY a malevolent, rebellious being in Genesis 3. There is a big time period between verses 1 and 2.

@@oldtimerlee8820 Yeah nice try there. No, you are referencing something else entirely; NOT between verses 1 and 2. The rebellion of the angelic host has NOTHING to do with the sin of humanity in the sense of sin. Yes satan is the reason for that sin; but Satan had ALREADY REBELLED by the time sin entered the garden through Adam. Or did you just forget that part…. Yes, death is the price of sin and there cannot be death BEFORE sin…. But again, that is ADAM’s sin. What I said stands. There is a time period between verses one and two. No, almost all of them absolutely do NOT believe in “theistic evolution”, stop being so set in your ways thinking you’re right about everything and everyone. That’s narcissism. The earth is ALREADY THERE, formless and void when the spirit of God comes over it in verse 2. That is the point. It was already THERE.

This is a fantastic video. You only left one thing out. The answer to "who created God?" was also answered in the first 5 verses. In short, existence need 3 components, time, space and matter. They are all dependent on each other and cannot exist alone in a physical universe. God answered that in the first verse. 1) In the beginning (time), 2) God created the heavens (space) and Earth (matter). It also tells you God could not have been created in this universe and cannot be a part of this universe. So God is outside our concept of the universe and created everything from nothing (in the sense we understand it). When I heard this elaborated after a person wisecracked the question "Tell me, who created God (he is an atheist)". This answer is honestly to the only question about God that I have ever had (I am 68 years old) and absolutely floored me by the simplicity and pure logic of the answer. I no longer have any unanswered questions about my Lord, Savior and God. Thank you for your video explaining the details of "our universe" as applicable in the Bible.

Genesis 1:1 "God Created the heavens and the EARTH" Note: Created Earth! 2, The earth was without FORM and VOID (Form and Void, define NOTHING/none existence!) Darkness was over the face of the deep. Let's again remember that In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth. When he speaks of Light, he refers to Jesus. At the time of creation Jesus had not yet existed. He also contradicts the bible in his explanation of; Morning described as "Light" Evening and Night described as "Darkness" in the Bible verse.

We are told in Genesis 1.27-" So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." But when we look up the words "male" and 'female" in this passage in a Hebrew Bible we do not find "ish" and "isha,' isha," as used in other passages, but we do find zakar and nekebah," which mean in Syrian language "sword" and "sheath," or piercer and womb. There is no mention of male and female more than is indicated in the relation of sword to sheath. The six nights/months/signs represent the period when the sword in in the sheath. Separation takes place at the spring equinox (morning) when they are separated and "creation" begins. The "creation" is the six days/months aka period of crop growth and harvest. This is modified when the six days are expanded to seven days (months).

Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. Death waters?death did not exist.

[@AboveReproachMinistry]

I absolutely agree. Everything we see is the product of God’s invisible word. God who is unseen created what we do see. Genesis doesn’t explicitly say where the already existing world came from (thought other scripture teaches God is the source) and it doesn’t say how these things came about. I’m just trying to point out that in Genesis, the narrative starts with these things already being present. And the reason they’re referred to as the chaotic waters of death is because other scriptures look back at creation and refer to the deep waters as such. So scripture confirms scripture. Death does not have a place in God’s good creation but this doesn’t mean death doesn’t exist as a concept. It’s just on the outskirts of creation once God makes all things good. But if you think about it, life cannot exist in that condition the world is in before God brings order and structure. It is anti life until God makes life possible by structuring the world the way it needs to be for life to exist. I hope you know I’m just letting other scripture inform my reading of Genesis. I promise it’s not made up or my reading into the text but I encourage you to be a good berean and search the scriptures to see if these things are so 👍🏼

The English word "void" in GEN 1:2 was translated from the Hebrew word תֹּהוּ (to'-hoo) that can also interpreted as: confusion, nothing, or vain; ergo, the meaning of "void" in that verse is subjectively ambiguous, if not spurious. Get thee to a seminary!

Hey dear brother, thank you for your burden to help people perceive God better and I have learnt and learning a lot from you. With that said, V1 clearly says that “GOD CREATED”, TIME - Beginning, HEAVENS - Space, EARTH - Matter. For anything to exist in a 3 dimensional world, there has to be TIME SPACE CONTINUUM, God created a 3 dimensional universe first, to hold the materials in it.

I would take your analysis of light and darkness a step further: if God is light (1 John 1:5), then in order for there to still be darkness - notice that God does not eliminate darkness, He "alternates" it - God has to, so to speak, turn away from His work. But this essential in creating something that is other than Himself; something that He will love more than life itself. I imagine that this must have been among the hardest things God had to do, to allow darkness so that his creation would be separate from Him, and potentially could reject Him forever, but so that in the end the caretakers of His creation could freely choose to return His love and enjoy Him forever.
