Oh, don't waste your time reading the book your body & soul revolve around. Let other people tell you what's in it. Actually it's 2021 ( no Jesus ain't back yet). You don't even have to read the book. There are many audio bibles in various translations you can listen to the whole thing for free.

[@notxtreme7566]

Reading the bible is essential

[@StealthyNomadica]

I started studying the Bible just about five years ago (~2019). Your channel was one of the most instrumental in helping me to quickly absorb the concepts and vital messages of Scripture, especially because I have chosen to use the KJV version which has antiquated language but I have a sense that it may preserve more of the truth then the more updated versions, just by virtue of Translation. I struggled with Genesis and the other books of the Old Testament until I encountered your channel. Thank you for putting these works together. It is wonderful to return at any time and be able to run your concise presentations to help me with my continuing studies. You are a blessing!

[@Thermalburn]

Great overview. I've decided to read the bible cover to cover, and just finished genesis, in about a week. Was look to reinforce some of its ideas and concepts. Thanks again!

[@sasha-marie7603]

@thermalburn how your reading going?

[@wwjwenjing]

Absolutely love these book overview videos! I've been using your videos to add a summary page to my bible. They are soooo clear and helpful, and are such a blessing to many. Can you PLEASE update with the rest of the books.

Am on a mission to read the entire bible and this is so helpful thanks alot

I just found your website and I'm loving these. I'm putting together a student ministry teaching where we do a quick synopsis of books of the bible and your content is super helpful. Thank you

..lol .. I bet you did. Omg I feel totally knowledgeable on the bible now. I love it! 3 videos inn. Maybe 4

[@maync1]

Glad I found this having read up to Ch 12 of Genesis without any prior historical background study. That puts it all into perspective. Great presentation. I took lots of notes and am sure this will help me greatly when reading on. Thank you so much and God bless!

[@misseli1]

You pointed out a lot of parallels I hadn't noticed. For example, humanity starts out in a Garden Temple where they coexist with God. Later, after their separation, they try to build a temple that reaches heaven to be in God's realm. The idea of God cleansing the world with the waters of the flood got me thinking. Waters are used as a means of physical and spiritual cleansing, and that is echoed later in Jewish purification rituals and in baptism.

[@OverviewBible]

There's another parallel to the Tower of Babel that was just too intricate to make this video: Jacob's ladder. In the Tower of Babel story: - Humans are united - Humans seek to build a name for themselves - Humans build their own tower/temple to reach heaven - God divides them - This takes place in Babylon But in Jacob's dream in Genesis 28: - The family of Isaac is divided - God extends the blessings of Abraham to Jacob (including a "great name") - Jacob sees a tower already existing between God and earth - God promises to "spread out" Jacob's descendants, to bless all the nations (which will unite them) - This takes place in Canaan (Bethel, the "house of God")

[@misseli1]

Since GOD IS THE Creator of All Things we must hold Him up in Reverence and not treat Him as though He is some Thing that Created All Things. He is not to be generalized but held up in Highest Esteem because He is The Almighty, The Most High, Our Elohim, and Sovereign King.👏🏽 Praise Him for His Love for mankind. Let’s Glorify Him! Hallelujah!

Wasn't selling Joseph a good idea from Judah? Since the brothers actually wanted to murder him, instead Judah came with the alternative to sell him. This kept Joseph alive without him getting brutally beaten by his brothers.

It was and it was revealed as part of God's divine plan. Joseph was sold into slavery so he could be in power in Egypt during the time of famine. He saved many people by doing so. It's an amazing story!

Do you see these core doctrines of God in Genesis tied with new testament?

[@joshjames582]

More than likely, in the King James version in this passage, God is speaking to himself in the manner that kings and queens do. Like when Queen Elizabeth says something like "We are most amused." That's just the way powerful entities in English as it was written in that time period spoke in certain instances. It makes the most logical sense.

[@stevenconte4714]

@@joshjames582 thank you, it's perplexing, but I don't let it get in the way of the overall message of love you know there's just little things like that in the entire book that make me think. But I like what you said thanks again

[@joshjames582]

@@stevenconte4714 No problem. Remember, that's just my interpretation, but it does make the most sense to me, especially in the KJV of the Bible that I grew up with. Lots of old-timey ways of wording things in there. Probably made more grammatical sense when it first came out, to those readers.

Thank you for your explanation. That was very helpful. I believe there are many versions of the bible and also many chapters hidden. So how do we know which is the right one and where do we start? So many things have revealed themselves in the recent times that I'm sure there is a God who's watching us. But also the devil is deceiving us and trying to get us by acting like he's God. I don't want to listen to the false God.

Of course they aren't. Chapter 3 has the serpent figure, chapter 6 has the Nephilim. Both map to some degree of divine malfeasance, but they'd need their own dedicated video (or series) to address this at length.

Jacob doesn’t trick Esau, he gave him food in exchange for his birthright. I would agree that it was a sinful thing to do, but he didn’t trick him. The Bible doesn’t even insinuate that he was tricked. You can speculate all you want, and you can have whatever view on the matter, but what simply happened is that a transaction took place.

[@OverviewBible]

Good catch-that was a mental typo. I'd meant to say something along the lines of, "He tricks his father into giving him his brother's inheritance."
