I am very happy about that too!

[@nurfacealways]

Bruce Gore i watched your video on genesis 1 and enuma elish... i do believe every word of God.. and i do believe he speaks to us with simplicity. with that being said, i learned that when something is of figurative speach, scripture will inform its figurative speach.. like the visions given by God to the prophets and the angel of the Lord ask the prophet "do you know what these beast mean? "or "the sower is a parable of God's Word being spread through out and how people will take it." so when it comes to creation, well, i take it literally since there is no parable or figurative warning... its safe to say, yes God did lay the foundations of the earth and froze the deep, and 2 great lights.. sun and moon emit own light, both will go out and stars will fall LIKE a figs fall from a shaken tree. i would really like to study with you bc i believe that ancient cultures know the creation story, and for the carnal mind, renown (Famous) men want to put their twist on it to make it their own. thats my theory. thank you for your time

Mr Gore, I love your teaching. I've been Baptist all my life and just give up on church all together. Baptist are lazy and and don't study history, they believe you can't mix the two. They take everything out of context because they have no idea where in history it belongs. The Sunday School teachers are teaching the same thing today as they were 30 years ago. I still study the Bible and history and have learned so much and can't talk about it to any Baptist I grew up with. They think I'm crazy. They say I'm reading the Bible with a carnal mind and not spiritual. Shouldn't you study the Bible as it's written and let God provide the spirit when necessary? If all Presbyterians are like this I just mind find a one in the Knoxville TN area and go. Thank you for your teaching!!

[@GoreBruce]

Thanks for the kind feedback. Having grown up Baptist myself, I have some idea what you are saying, but would add that not all Baptists are created equal (nor are all Presbyterians!).

The message reminds me of Paul’s message in Colossians: (paraphrase) “I fulfill for you what Christ cannot” Not to say Paul will save the Colossians in Christ’s place; but instead that God wants to use people who are present in human form, in order to demonstrate that God wants us to work alongside Him. For when it comes to all work (spiritual especially), neither God nor man should work alone. Instead, they should work together, united as one body.

[@Drakemiser]

This is so interesting and in depth. the Nubian king who goes to Hezekiah matches perfectly with the 25th dynasty of Nubians that ruled Egypt for 100 years(late 700's-666BC)

[@prof.dr.4224]

Consider the Baudhayana Shrauta Sutra, a Vedic text. Baudhayana Shrauta Sutra 18:44 records: “Amavasu migrated westward. His people are Gandhari, Parsu and Aratta.” This refers to a Vedic king called Amavasu, whose people are the Gandhari (Gandhara - Afghanistan), the Parsu (Persians) and the Aratta, who are tentatively identified as living in the vicinity of Mt. Ararat, which is located in Turkey (eastern Anatolia) and Armenia. Afghanistan (Gandhara) was historically part of the Indian civilization until the Islamic invasions. The name “Persia” comes from the ancient Parshva people (an Aryan clan). The word “Parshva” is derived from the Sanskrit/Avestan (Old Persian) word “Parshu”, which means “battle-axe”. There are clear linguistic and cultural similarities between India and Persia. The traditional Armenian name for Mt. Ararat is Masis. It is named after the legendary Armenian king Amasya. The name “Amasya” is linguistically related to the name “Amavasu” of the Indian king recorded in the Baudhayana’s Shrauta-Sutra. This establishes literary evidence for the westward expansion of Indo-Aryans, via Afghanistan, to Persia, Armenia and Anatolia. The ancient kingdom of Mitranni, of the people who used to worship Mitra, the Vedic God, located in present-day Syria and Anatolia, had an Indo-Aryan, Sanskrit-speaking ruling class. Mitranni kings had Indo-Aryan names. The oldest recorded (Vedic) Sanskrit words are found in a horse training manual by a Mitranni horse master named Kikkuli. Although the text is written in the Hittite language, it appears that Kikkuli was not familiar enough with that language to use technical terms, which made it necessary for him to use the terminology of his own language (Vedic Sanskrit) instead. Inscribed clay tablets discovered in Boğazkale, Anatolia (Turkey), record a royal treaty and invoke the Vedic gods Indra, Mitra, Nasatya & Varuna by the Hittites, another Indo-European tribe, as witnesses. The Boğazkale clay tablets are dated to about 1380 BC. This is around the same time as Kikkuli’s horse training manual. The Mitranni and Hittites belonged to the Indian-origin haplogroup R1a1a. This is clear evidence of a large-scale westward expansion of Sanskrit-speaking Indo-Aryans, and their presence as the ruling aristocracy in lands thousands of kilometers west of India. (This is quoted from our forthcoming book 'Ethics, Morality and Business' to be published by Palgrave-Macmillan.)

[@claytonbenignus4688]

[@prof.dr.4224]

Some of the Aryans after leaving India, entered Babylon, Assyria and Egypt. They are called Panis in Rig Veda. Most of them settled in Asia Minor (Historians History of the World, 1902). Rig Veda mentioned them as great navigators using Satarika Nau (a ship with 100 oars). Original people of Assyria were not Semitic. Before 4000 BC, Southern Babylon was the original home of the Sumerians from India and Northern Babylon originally came from central Asia. Modern name Mesopotamia came from the original Madhya Vedi, according to the Historians History of the World (Vol 1 and 2, 1902). One of the most famous King of Babylon was Asur Bani Pal, a pure Sanskrit name. Both Hittite and Mitranis used to speak Indo-European language. Their gods were Vedic gods. HR Hall, curator of the British Museum wrote (Hall, 1939), “The ethnic type of the Sumerians so strongly marked in their statues and relief was as different from those of the races which surround them as was their language from those of the Semites; they were decidedly Indian in type. The face type of the average Indian of today is no doubt much the same as that of his race ancestors thousands of years ago. And it is by no means improbable that the Sumerians were an Indian race. It was in the Indian home, perhaps the Indus valley; we suppose for them, that their culture developed. There their writings may have invented and progressed from a purely pictorial to a simplified and abbreviated from which afterwards in Babylonia took on its peculiar cuneiform appearance owing to its being written with a square ended stylus on soft-clay. There is little doubt that India must have been one of earliest centres of human civilization and it seems natural to suppose that the strange un-Semitic people who came from the East to civilise the West were of Indian origin, especially when we see with our eyes how very Indian the Sumerians were in type”. There were linguistic and ethnic resemblance between the Sumerians and the Dravidians, people from South India. Both Rig Veda and Mahabharata mentioned the Deva-Asura war, which lasted 32 years in which Devas, the Aryans of North India, driven other tribes. In both Harappa and Babylon an unknown script was discovered, demonstrating close connection between the Indus valley and Babylon. Woolley in Ur found a similar seal with a very early cuneiform inscription (Woolley, 1929). Indus culture is older than Sumerian and Egyptian culture (Hall, 1939, 1928). According to the Puranas, the Sumerians were driven out by Rudra to shores of the western sea. The two brothers Vritra and Bala, with their Aryan followers settled in ancient Persia and Mesopotamia respectively. The Panis, allies of the Asuras, were also ousted and they settled down on the shore of the Levant sea, according to the Puranas. Mazumdar (1917) thought it was in 2800 BC but according to the latest research it can be before 9000 BC. Their capital was Tyre. Indra led the Aryans to Apa, modern Afghanistan. Vritra made a treaty with Indra and founded his capital in Babylon. However, according to Rig Veda, Indra broke that treaty and killed Varitra. Indra then went to East Europe and killed sons of Varashika of the Vrichivat clan ( Rig Veda, V, VI, 27, 5). Thus, Russia, East Europe, Greece, West Asia, Mesopotamia, Persia, Afghanistan and India were filled by these Aryans. German historian A.H.L Heeren, Professor of History in the University of Gottingen believed in the Indian origin of the Egyptian civilization. According to him, in the Historians History of the World, vol1, p, p198, and p200 and in the History of Ancient Civilizations, published from the Gottingen University in 1799, skulls of the ancient Egyptians and ancient Indians have close resemblance. It might mean that the Egyptians had one day been emigrants from India. Egyptians were divided into castes similar to India. The early Aryan name of Egypt was Ekantina, a country that worship one supreme being in the very ancient time. According to James Todd (1920), “ …from ancient Ethiopia, Egypt had her civilized institutions and that the Ethiopians were of Indian origin”. Homer also called the Indians as eastern Ethiopians (Mazumdar, 1917, p1). Recently Max Plank Institute in Jena and the University of Tubingen examined the 3500 years old mummies from Egypt and found out the DNA of the ancient Egyptians are not related to the people of Sub-Saharan Africa but are related to ancient people of Anatolia, who were originally from India (edition.cnn.com/2017/06/22/health/ancient-egypt-mummy-dna). (This is quoted from our forthcoming book 'Ethics, Morality and Business' to be published by Palgrave-Macmillan.)

[@craignedoff991]

I have a question. Why don't jews, both Israeli and other, not hate modern Assyrians? Any jews I've met are exceptionally nice to me, even after discovering I'm not Jewish myself, but am Assyrian.

[@erics7992]

Mr. Gore makes a mistake about the Hebrew word used in the prophecy of Isaiah 7:14. He states that the word involved ('almah) can mean either maiden or virgin. But that is not the case. The Hebrew word for maiden is na'arah while the word for virgin is bethula. If the prophet wanted to express that the woman was a virgin or a maiden he would have used either of those words which are very common in the Old Testament, but he didn't use either of them he used 'almah. 'Almah is only used a handful (literally) of time to apply to specific women in the entire Old Testament, and the primary meaning of the root is 'hidden' or 'concealed.' The word is used once by Abraham's servant to describe Rebecca at their first meeting at the well when she seemingly came out of nowhere in answer to his prayer, and once to describe Moses' sister when she came out of the brushes of the Nile shore to gain the permission of Pharaoh's daughter to return him to his own mother to act as his nurse, and for the 'almah here of Isaiah 7:14. That's it. The greatness of the role of each of the first of these two women who seemingly came out of nowhere in the history of Israel is indisputable. Without a wife for Isaac there would have been no Israel. Without Moses' sister bringing him back to his mother for a time it is unlikely he ever would have learned of his Hebrew heritage or had the appreciation of it necessary to become the deliverer that the Lord called him to be. Likewise with the prophesied 'almah of Isaiah 7:14. Neither the Virgin Mary nor her divine Son were anything like the Jews were expecting. Both the woman and her child seemed to them to come out of nowhere even though both of them had been prophesied up and down the Old Testament. Nor does Isaiah's son fulfill this prophecy for two reasons: 1)would the prophet refer to his wife as an 'almah or her conceiving the child as some great supernatural sign since he was obviously there when it happened? and 2)Isaiah did NOT name is son Immanuel.

[@GoreBruce]

@12:30 You say Menahem was assassinated by his "good friend" Pekahiah. After looking it up I found: Menahem died of natural causes and the throne was given to his son Pekahiah. Could you clarify this please I cant verify your statement. Maybe you meant to say that Pekah slays Pekahiah? I love your videos.

[@GoreBruce]

Sorry, that was a misstatement. I was thinking of Pekahiah, who was assassinated by Pekah (2 Kings 15:25).

[@Achill101]

722 BC is indeed a year to remember. Samaria fell, and the Israel kingdom was no more. But something was missing from your presentation. While Assyria led away many leading Israelite into exile and left most farmer working their land, there was a third group: many leading Israelites, priests, officers, administrators, were in the large danger to be deported by the Assyrians and fled instead to Judah, some of them with the valuable writings they owned. Archeology has found a general strong increase of the population in Judah around 720 BC that cannot be explained by organic growth. And Judahite cities grew two-fold to ten-fold by population. King Hezekiah seem to have welcomed the refugees when he invited all Israelites to Passover in Jerusalem.

[@danielevolzone2867]

Just a question: the bible said that Pekah reigned for 20 years (1 king 15:27), so I was wondering why you wrote that he reigned 8 years instead (740-732). If you can explain it would be great!

[@brucegore4373]

Thanks for the question. It is commonly understood that the 20 year reference is an error in the Hebrew text. Most commentaries point that out, and offer various explanations. A typical example is the following from the Pulpit Commentary: Verse 27. - In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah King of Judah; rather, in the thirty-ninth or thirty-eighth year (see the comment on ver. 23). Pekahiah's "two years" may not have been complete. Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years. The Assyrian records make this number impossible. Tiglath-pileser's entire reign lasted only eighteen years, yet it more than covered the entire reign of Pekah. When he first invaded the kingdom of Samaria, Menahem was upon the throne ('Eponym Canon,' p. 120, line 29); when he last attacked it, probably in B.C. 730 - two years before his death in B.C. 728 - he set up Hoshea, or, at any rate, sanctioned his usurpation (ibid., pp. 123, 124, lines 15-18). Pekah's entire reign must have come in the interval, which is certainly not more than one of fifteen, probably not more than one of ten years.

[@str.77]

Actually, there was a rather obscure Asyrian king called Sargon I. PS. Why do you link the Chaldeans to Sumer? They were a Semitic people that arrived pretty late.

[@GoreBruce]

Thanks for that. Sargon I (the great) was the founder of the second dynasty of Sumer (Akkadian, c. 2334 - 2278) and established a quite extensive empire for a time. Chaldea is more of a regional designation that an ethnicity, and thus those who lived in the region of southern Mesopotamia have commonly been called 'Chaldeans' in scholarly literature regardless racial distinction.

[@str.77]

@@GoreBruce I know about the great Sargon and of course there is no clear telling what Sargon II'S reference was. But since the numbering was done by modern historians, it is just as much due to the Assyrian kinglist. I disagree on taking Chaldaea as a chiefly regional designation. While the Chaldeans (Kasdim) assimilated to Babylonian culture very well -as had the Kassites before - and all Semites more or less adopted Sumerian culture, I wouldn't call any of them Sumerian.

[@str.77]

It is simply heresy, for example, to compare the Jewish system of a king who is bound by God's law held by the priest, to the godless pagan American system of separation of church and state - the exact opposite of the Judean system🤦‍♂️Protestants aren't qualified to teach religion. He should concentrate on history and biblical timing, that is what he's strong at, and not interpretations

🤺☦🇷🇺Sorry, but what you said is an absolute Protestant heresy - NO, it has nothing to do with the pagan godless American system of separation of powers, and separation of church and state. That separation of the king and the priest in Judea meant exactly the opposite of that: it meant that the king is BOUND by God's law, and can't be the one that gives it or can change it as he please, whereas in the USA, it meant that the church had no say in the matter of the state, and religion or non religion, could be chosen by everyone - your so called "freedoms", and also, wrong about the kings of Israel weren't supposed to make alliances with their pagan neighbors - who gave you that false notion?? They were allowed for political purposes (and they did occasionally), and only not allowed to bring their pagan practices in, that's all. What they weren't allowed to do is rebelled against the empire that ruled the region, unless it interfered or threatened their holy religion and practice, so please take it back
