History of Ancient Israel and Judah explained in 5 minutes

[@EpimetheusHistory]

OK...Early on I say "according to Genesis" which most people will recognize this as Biblical, When referencing the migration out of Egypt and the conquest of Cannan. The basic facts stated in this video from Assyrian, Seleucid and Roman periods are commonly accepted and have non-biblical accounts to back them up. The earlier Periods use the book of Judges, Kings and Chronicles as primary sources...So, if you have a problem with that...well I feel sorry you are offended so easily...I think based on the evidence this is the most likely course of events to have taken place....Interesting Mesopotamian kings lists with way less detail (also including mythical aspects) are accepted without question. In my Roman video, I reference the early Roman mythical kings who were probably based on real figures and in the China video I reference the state of Xia because again these basic facts are usually loosely based on real events (ie Longshan culture) I think logically looking at the Old Testament account the more macro the facts stated the larger the likelihood of that event having taken place, that is why I did not include more of the micro-narratives during this period as those are less likely to be varifible at any point by an outside source Whether you belive this narrative you can either enjoy it and study it more...or you can cry about it.

[@EpimetheusHistory]

I made this video based on many viewer requests, I do love reading all your thoughts suggestions and have incorporated many into my videos

[@EpimetheusHistory]

The age of Judges does not have written sources outside of the Biblical account...But there is plenty of evidence for kings such as Ahab 871-852 BC and the divided kingdom period written from Assyrian accounts etc...but it would make sense a state of Israel and Judah did not just appear in the 9th century BC...At this point, there is not a continuous record going back to the 14th-15th centuries BC but I think given the bronze age collapse, it makes perfect logical sense that the power vacuum would be filled...just as the Phoenician city-states filled the power vacuum in the north Levant. I think the narrative from Chronicles, kings, Judges makes sense until proven otherwise...(ie written accounts from that time and place)...So far Assyrian accounts etc jive with that narrative.

[@cdroz9687]

YAHUSHA is Torah Catholism isn’t the true Christianity read in the bible. Catholism is based on Roman paganism, it’s been mixed in with the ideas of Christianity. But it’s not the truth. The minority’s of true Christians follow exactly what happened in the account of Pentecost when they were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues and were baptised by full Emersion, not with sprinkling of water on babies heads. I myself am filled with the Holy Spirit and I disagree with all the Christian churches out there that say they follow God when truth is they’re all backslidden and based on paganism even the cult Christian groups. The Jews follow the Torah and reenact what is it in, so the Christians are supposed to follow every step of the whole old and New Testament including receiving the Holy Spirit with the evidence of Speaking in tongues just as the 12 Apostles did and the 120 in the upper room on the day of Pentecost this included Mary. Modern day Christianity has basically done away with this through the belief that it stopped happening after the apostles died, but they were so wrong.

[@Goodguy507]

@Jason M I'll explain the stupidity of your argument, although I know it's pointless because you already made your mind and you're not gonna change it, arabs are not an ethnicity but rather a linguistic group, a common Arabic saying is (العربي من تحدث العربية) meaning an arab is one who speaks Arabic, Arabia is the origin of adnani and qahdani arabs who are the original speakers of Arabic, but arabs living in the Levant, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, etc... aren't arabs by ethnicity, but arabs by language, so the Palestinians aren't from Arabia, but from Palestine, they've been arabized after Islamic conquest, and they speak Arabic, and the south of Palestine(that territory is now undisputed Israeli territory) some arab tribes immigrated there, that's why some Palestinians dress traditional arab clothing. Again, I know that won't make a difference, because you aren't saying that to get an answer but rather to sound smart and witty, but you're not, so stop trying

[@Goodguy507]

@Jason M Ibn Khaldoun in his book (the history of ibn Kahldoun) classified arabs into two classifications, the surviving, and the Perishing, and he acknowledged that they both come from different origins, the ones who went extent were called perishing arabs and are from Babylon, and the surviving are from Yemen and hijaz, modern arab historians classify the surviving into three classifications, also acknowledging that every class is from different origin, which are, 1-العرب العاربة (roughly translated to the original/pure arabs who are from Yemen also called Qahdani arabs) 2-العرب المتعربة(also roughly translated to adopting arabs, they are from hijaz and they adopted Arabic from the perishing arabs who lived north of Arabia) 3-العرب المستعربة( the arabized arabs, they are from the Levant, Egypt and north Africa, they have been arabized after Islamic conquest) The arab league defines an arab as:" someone who speaks Arabic, has an arab nationality/citizenship, has the hopes and ambitions of other arabs" In conclusion: Arabs are no ethnicity, Egyptians were never called arabs before Islamic conquest, could they have transformed or changed their ethnicity to arabs? No they just learned Arabic and adopted Arabic traditions so they became arab

[@MrAbsalomdavid]

Just as a side note, when hearing about history one of the most pervasive issues that most people (including me) have is actually REALIZING the sometimes very long periods of time involved. For instance, it is really easy sometimes to forget that when someone gives a start and end date, that could span a 500 year period. Just step back and consider what 100 years means and how much can change in that span of time, let alone 5 times that. History is really amazing and interesting, but my aforementioned point is ALWAYS a good habit to consider. Wrapping your head around an idea, but then taking it that one simple step adds SO much context, and your understanding can grow exponentially because of it. Thanks for the summary!

[@terner1234]

I mostly agree, but it's also important to mention that the world changes today at a much faster rate compared to ancient times

[@MrAbsalomdavid]

@@terner1234... we are more aware of it as well which means we subconsciously feel as though 100 yrs is a long time. Personally I believe humans have been around for hundreds if thousands of years. Just going by our propensity to kill ourselves and erase our histories, not to mention the unquestionable fact that tyranny ALWAYS destroys knowledge and erases it to keep it for themselves, I can almost guarantee that there have been hundreds if not thousands of generations before us. We probably simply killed off the other cousins of ours like the Neanderthals simply because they were competing with sapiens...

People are getting offended easily by Biblical facts

[@avi3860]

most holy readings (books) are based on hearsay and stories, but a large percentage of bible stories have been authenticated by archeology. There is no denying for instance Roman coins found in Jerusalem prove that the Romans occupied the city; stones under the Al Aksa mosque have been found with high levels of ash; proving the story that the city was burned down by the Romans. Crusader Temples and fortresses are built throughout Israel showing that Christians claimed the Holy land. You get the idea; Ottoman artifacts, Christian, Jewish artifacts and archeology prove the glorious, devastating, destruction and history of ancient Israel. And then...……….. there is the rebirth of Israel and modern history.

[@darkelite824]

@@avi3860 "authenticated by archaeology" not at all. there were never Jewish slaves in Egypt for example (verified by Egyptian historians and Jewish historians and many more). they were never deposed by the Babylonians (and as a result partially were held as slaves en mass) as well. just because one part of the story is true, that does not give credence to the rest. we know that Rome had occupied isreal not because of roman coinage, not because of coins found under ash layers, but because the Romans talked about it. they made administrative documents. they marched armies. we know it because the Jewish people had a massive revolt (the Maccabees revolt) at around 70ce. neighboring cities and nations noticed these armies and wrote about them. its called cooperating evidence, to which the bible is lacking in several eras (such as no census being taken in the area from 40bce - 100ce, and earlier stories). where as most instances of evidence biblical moguls tend to cling too are straight from the bible itself, while ignoring the mountains of evidence that most of the time bring forth the conclusion that: *archaeology in fact does not authenticate a large percentage of the bible as true*

[@avi3860]

@@darkelite824 Please, if you will, stick to facts and not mythology; "the slaves in Egypt for example as opposed to Jewish symbols, manuscripts and scrolls written in ancient Hebrew; or archaeological digs which have unearthed Jewish origins and history; modern and biblical.

They are written in ancient Hebrew (not in Arabic and certainly not in Palestinian script). 3,000-year-old Hebrew inscription found with the words “to do” which existed only in the Hebrew language, unearthed at Elah. Numerous inscriptions have been found in ancient synagogues showing Jewish religious symbols and proving Jewish ancient existence. Underground tunnels were found under the El Aksa mosque under Jerusalem dating from 70AD. Tons of pottery shards, oil lamps and coins proved to be belonging to Jews hiding under the city in anticipation of the Roman conquest. One of the most conclusive evidence of Jewish origins are the hundreds upon hundreds of mikvot (ritual baths) found all over Israel from North, South, East and West. Only Jews used the mikvah for ritual purposes. There are hundreds of references in the bible which have been proved factual by archaeology for instance; the cities of Solomon - Hazor, Megiddo and Gesher. (l Kings 9:15). Today, with photographic drones, modern rock penetrating scanners, lasers and hi frequency sound waves and equipment; archaeology has advanced to such a sophisticated degree prove ancient buildings, documents and the bible are important references and jumping off points for archaeology.

+Luis Luis Then how do you explain the golden bells from the high priest from the kings era, being found in Jerusalem by arqueologists? That alone disproves your theory.

[@spicyspecial333]

Luis Luis, to answer your question, look no further than several archaeological finds for proof (if you don't want to accept the Torah as your answer). First, The 'Silver Scroll': dated to around 700 BCE, is a silver scroll that has the priestly blessing scrawled on it. the dating proves several things. A) that The Jews were in the Land of Israel/Canaan prior to 586 BCE (the date of when Babylonians razed Solomon's Temple to the ground, and took the Jewish elites into captivity, effectively ending the 'first' state of Judea) and B) That Paleo-Hebrew goes back to at LEAST 700 BCE, if not well before then. Second, Hezekiah's Tunnel Tablet inscription; prior to Judea being taken over by the Babylonians, the Assyrian king attempted to conquer Judea. Having knowledge of the Assyrian King's intentions, King Hezekiah, expanded the walls around Jerusalem and fortefied the water access to the Gihon Spings (the only water source in Jerusalem). In order to do this, he had to have a HUGE tunnel built from two different sides so that they would connect the spring (outside the city walls) to the inside of the old city. When this feat was accomplished, he had an inscription scrawled inside the tunnel to forever document the occassion. That inscription was found by the british archaeologist Sir Charles Warren. Lastly, there is an old Assyrian Tablet describing/pictograph where King Jehu of Israel (approx. 800 BCE) paying homage and 'submitting' to the King of Assyria SHELMANASAR, this is just prior to Assyrian conquest of the northern kingdom of Israel. There is AMPLE proof that this area is the native home of the Israelites/Jews and there is written, archaeologic and historic proof of this inside the land as well as the surrounding areas. All one has to do is search with an open mind and forget ones prejudice.

[@spicyspecial333]

Yeah, like the arabs NEVER attempted to have a genocidal conquest against the Jews. Sure. Israel/Mossad NEVER wage wars of expansion, only defensively. The arabs were offered more than 75% of Historic Palestine, created the Kingdom of Jordan and that STILL was not enough. They wanted historic Judea, Samaria and Gaza, they were offered that AND East Jerusalem, and that STILL was not enough! Arafat walked away time and again! The Israeli's left Gaza, and what is it today? The shit hole filled with Terrorists who suppress their own people and steal BILLIONS of AID DOLLARS. What do they do with all that money? Do they build hospitals, energy, create jobs? No. They use it on weapons, to build tunnels and to terrorize Israel. Israel, on the other hand, incorporates it's Arabs into its own. They serve in the Army, Vote, have their own political parties, go to school and are the MOST Educated (highest percentage of doctors in all of the middle east).

[@stonehengemaca]

Before the establishment of Israel the Canaanites already lived there. The Israelis had to get rid of them first. So they dehumanised them (Sounds familiar) and said they worshipped false Idols such as "El", which is strange as "Israel" is derived from worship for the God El "Isra El". This, plus the lack of evidence of an exodus out of Egypt and zero Egyptian influence on their pottery and homes etc leads archeologists to think the Israelis were just Canaanites. And there is quite a lot of evidence to support this, as the first Israeli settlements resemble Canaanite structures and their pottery also resembled that of the Canaanites..

So to prove to Spanish Catholic priest that Jews did have a nation he created a hoax.

They’re not though, in Antiquity and till today, Judeans (which is another word for Jews and in Hebrew is Yehudim) is just a later name for Israelites (in Hebrew is Yisraelim). All Israelites became known as Judeans after the region was using the name Judea (Yehuda in Hebrew). Even when there were two kingdoms there, the people who lives in the kingdom of Judea were still Israelites, because the term comes from the 12 tribes era before they had established kingdoms.

Magellan (or one of his men) was able to cure or help the young boy, and in gratitude Humabon allowed himself, his chief consort Humamay, and 800 of his subjects to be baptised en masse. In order to achieve this, Spain had three principal objectives in its policy towards the Philippines: the first was to secure Spanish control and acquisition of a share in the spice trade; use the islands in developing contact with Japan and China in order to further Christian missionaries’ efforts there; and lastly to spread their religion. - "The Early Spanish Period, 1521-1762".

And what about all these other non biblical examples that prove Israel/Judea's existence? 1. The Tel Dan Stele (9th Century BCE) This is a basalt stele discovered in northern Israel, inscribed by an Aramean king (probably Hazael) who boasts of his victories over the “House of David.” The Tel Dan Stele is significant because it references the “House of David,” providing non-biblical support for a dynastic line and indirectly for the kingdom of Judah. 2. The Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III (9th Century BCE) Found in Nimrud, this Assyrian artifact records the tribute of "Jehu, son of Omri," a king of Israel, to the Assyrian king Shalmaneser III. It portrays Israel as a vassal state of Assyria and provides independent corroboration of the kingdom's existence during this period. 3. The Mesha Stele (Moabite Stone) - (9th Century BCE) I mentioned this already, but it’s worth noting that it contains a lengthy inscription from King Mesha of Moab, a neighboring state of Israel. Mesha describes his conflicts with the Israelite king, supporting the view of Israel as a distinct kingdom with rivalries and interactions with surrounding nations. 4. The Sennacherib Prism (701 BCE) This prism, also known as the Taylor Prism, records the Assyrian king Sennacherib’s campaign against the Kingdom of Judah and his siege of Jerusalem during King Hezekiah's reign. Although the Bible recounts this event, Sennacherib’s account does as well, confirming the historical existence of Judah as an independent state at that time. 5. The Lachish Reliefs (8th Century BCE) These reliefs, found in Sennacherib's palace in Nineveh, depict the Assyrian siege of Lachish, a major fortified city in Judah. The detailed carvings offer a visual representation of Assyrian military campaigns and their impact on Judah’s cities, further validating the historical presence of Judah. 6. The Samaria Ostraca (8th Century BCE) These are clay potsherds inscribed with records of goods exchanged within Israel’s northern kingdom. They contain names, tax records, and references to places, providing insight into Israel's internal administration and economy. 7. The Babylonian Chronicles (6th Century BCE) These chronicles, which include accounts of the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II’s campaigns, detail the capture of Jerusalem in 597 BCE and the exile of Judah's king Jehoiachin to Babylon. This matches the biblical account of the Babylonian exile and corroborates Judah’s existence up to the point of its fall. 8. Elephantine Papyri (5th Century BCE) These are documents from a Jewish community in Elephantine, Egypt. They mention a Jewish temple and references to Jerusalem and Judah, which show that Judean culture, traditions, and institutions continued to exist even in diaspora communities under Persian rule. These findings are all separate from the Bible and confirm Israel and Judah’s presence as distinct political entities with their own internal structures, interactions with neighboring states, and recognition by powerful empires like Assyria and Babylon. Together, they build a well-rounded historical foundation for ancient Israel and Judah beyond religious texts. 9. Arad Ostraca (7th-6th Century BCE) Found at the fortress of Arad in southern Judah, these inscriptions are records on pottery fragments. They document military provisions, correspondence, and orders given by Judean officials, showing evidence of a structured administrative system in Judah. 10. Ketef Hinnom Amulets (7th Century BCE) Discovered in Jerusalem, these silver scroll amulets contain a version of the priestly blessing from the Book of Numbers. They are some of the earliest known examples of Hebrew scripture and point to a strong religious culture within Judah. 11. The Nabonidus Chronicle (6th Century BCE) Although it focuses on the Babylonian king Nabonidus, this chronicle refers to events involving Nebuchadnezzar II and confirms his campaigns in the Levant, including his presence in Judah. This indirectly supports the biblical account of the Babylonian conquest of Judah. 12. The Yavne-Yam Ostracon (7th Century BCE) This ostracon, found in Israel, contains a letter written in Hebrew. It deals with legal and administrative matters, highlighting the use of Hebrew as an administrative language and shedding light on local governance. 13. Hezekiah’s Tunnel and Inscription (8th Century BCE) This tunnel in Jerusalem, attributed to King Hezekiah, was constructed to secure the city’s water supply during the Assyrian siege. An inscription found within the tunnel describes its construction, serving as a testament to Hezekiah’s rule and the city’s defensive preparations. These artifacts, along with the ones mentioned earlier, add to the non-biblical record of Israel and Judah's complex history. They paint a picture of a region with vibrant local cultures and established governments, interacting with major empires of the time.

Love your map-people-timeline-based approach to covering early history and your methodical but brief way of covering shifts over time. Think the format and purview of your channel is awesome. sometimes wish some of your sentences were a bit clearer/contextualized or less abrupt-- @1:16 for instance, why does David have to flee Israel after becoming popular? It's implied he lost favor with Saul, but even knowing that, we still have to speculate why someone would be very popular but lose favor with the monarch--and it seems like it provides context for the ensuing war. could guess that Saul might feel threatened, but if that were just stated plainly in a few words it would make that transition less confusing imo

[@Ya-vd5db]

It doesn’t need to be explained for those who have actually read the Bible. He did lose favor with Saul because Sauls throne was promised to David and the people loved David. So Saul was jealous and tried to kill David (Sauls son in law) multiple times. To state that plainly would make this a lot longer than 5 minutes. We should listen to this video and then fill in the gaps ourselves with research.

[@benjaminbrett3245]

The Book of 1 Samuel also states that David is unwilling to fight Saul because Saul has God's anointing, and so didn't want to harm him. Saul still wanted to harm David, so David fled until Saul was killed I'm battle against the Philistines.

[@GregFessia]

Ephraim See also Book of Mormon; Israel; Joseph, Son of Jacob; Manasseh In the Old Testament, the second son of Joseph and Asenath (Gen. 41:50-52; 46:20). Contrary to the traditional manner, Ephraim received the birthright blessing instead of Manasseh, who was the elder son (Gen. 48:17-20). Ephraim became the father of the tribe of Ephraim. The tribe of Ephraim Ephraim was given the birthright in Israel (1 Chr. 5:1-2; Jer. 31:9). In the last days their privilege and responsibility is to bear the priesthood, take the message of the restored gospel to the world, and raise an ensign to gather scattered Israel (Isa. 11:12-13; 2 Ne. 21:12-13). The children of Ephraim will crown with glory those from the north countries who return in the last days (D&C 133:26-34). The stick of Ephraim or Joseph A record of one group from the tribe of Ephraim that was led from Jerusalem to America about 600 B.C. This group’s record is called the stick of Ephraim or Joseph, or the Book of Mormon. It and the stick of Judah (the Bible) form a unified testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ, His Resurrection, and His divine work among these two segments of the house of Israel. A branch of Ephraim will be broken off and will write another testament of Christ, JST, Gen. 50:24-26, 30-31. The stick of Judah and the stick of Joseph will become one, Ezek. 37:15-19. The writings of Judah and of Joseph shall grow together, 2 Ne. 3:12. The Lord speaks to many nations, 2 Ne. 29. The keys of the record of the stick of Ephraim were committed to Moroni, D&C 27:5.

[@GregFessia]

@@RobbieSalome Are “Mormons” Christian? Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints unequivocally affirm themselves to be Christians. They worship God the Eternal Father in the name of Jesus Christ. When asked what the Latter-day Saints believe, Joseph Smith put Christ at the center: “The fundamental principles of our religion is the testimony of the apostles and prophets concerning Jesus Christ, ‘that he died, was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended up into heaven;’ and all other things are only appendages to these, which pertain to our religion.” The modern-day Quorum of the Twelve Apostles reaffirmed that testimony when they proclaimed, “Jesus is the Living Christ, the immortal Son of God. … His way is the path that leads to happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come.” In recent decades, however, some have claimed that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not a Christian church. The most oft-used reasons are the following: Latter-day Saints do not accept the creeds, confessions, and formulations of post-New Testament Christianity. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not descend through the historical line of traditional Christianity. That is, Latter-day Saints are not Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or Protestant. Latter-day Saints do not believe scripture consists of the Holy Bible alone but have an expanded canon of scripture that includes the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. Each of these is examined below. Latter-day Saints Do Not Accept the Creeds of Post-New Testament Christianity Scholars have long acknowledged that the view of God held by the earliest Christians changed dramatically over the course of centuries. Early Christian views of God were more personal, more anthropomorphic, and less abstract than those that emerged later from the creeds written over the next several hundred years. The key ideological shift that began in the second century A.D., after the loss of apostolic authority, resulted from a conceptual merger of Christian doctrine with Greek philosophy. Latter-day Saints believe the melding of early Christian theology with Greek philosophy was a grave error. Chief among the doctrines lost in this process was the nature of the Godhead. The true nature of God the Father, His Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost was restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith. As a consequence, Latter-day Saints hold that God the Father is an embodied being, a belief consistent with the attributes ascribed to God by many early Christians. This Latter-day Saint belief differs from the post-New Testament creeds. Whatever the doctrinal differences that exist between the Latter-day Saints and members of other Christian religions, the roles Latter-day Saints ascribe to members of the Godhead largely correspond with the views of others in the Christian world. Latter-day Saints believe that God is omnipotent, omniscient, and all-loving, and they pray to Him in the name of Jesus Christ. They acknowledge the Father as the ultimate object of their worship, the Son as Lord and Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit as the messenger and revealer of the Father and the Son. In short, Latter-day Saints do not accept the post-New Testament creeds yet rely deeply on each member of the Godhead in their daily religious devotion and worship, as did the early Christians. Latter-day Saints Believe in a Restored Christianity Another premise used in arguing that Latter-day Saints are not Christians is that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not descend from the traditional line of today’s Christian churches: Latter-day Saints are not Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or Protestant. Latter-day Saints believe that by the ministering of angels to Joseph Smith priesthood authority to act in God’s name was returned or brought back to earth. This is the “restored,” not a “reformed,” church of Jesus Christ. The Latter-day Saint belief in a restored Christianity helps explain why so many Latter-day Saints, from the 1830s to the present, have converted from other Christian denominations. These converts did not, and do not, perceive themselves as leaving the Christian fold; they are simply grateful to learn about and become part of the restored Church of Jesus Christ, which they believe offers the fulness of the Lord’s gospel, a more complete and rich Christian church-spiritually, organizationally, and doctrinally. Members of creedal churches often mistakenly assume that all Christians have always agreed and must agree on a historically static, monolithic collection of beliefs. As many scholars have acknowledged, however, Christians have vigorously disagreed about virtually every issue of theology and practice through the centuries, leading to the creation of a multitude of Christian denominations. Although the doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints differs from that of the many creedal Christian churches, it is consistent with early Christianity. One who sincerely loves, worships, and follows Christ should be free to claim his or her understanding of the doctrine according to the dictates of his or her conscience without being branded as non-Christian. Latter-day Saints Believe in an Open Canon A third justification argued to label Latter-day Saints as non-Christian has to do with their belief in an open scriptural canon. For those making this argument, to be a Christian means to assent to the principle of sola scriptura, or the self-sufficiency of the Bible. But to claim that the Bible is the sole and final word of God-more specifically, the final written word of God-is to claim more for the Bible than it claims for itself. Nowhere does the Bible proclaim that all revelations from God would be gathered into a single volume to be forever closed and that no further scriptural revelation could be received. Moreover, not all Christian churches are certain that Christianity must be defined by commitment to a closed canon. In truth, the argument for exclusion by closed canon appears to be used selectively to exclude the Latter-day Saints from being called Christian. No branch of Christianity limits itself entirely to the biblical text in making doctrinal decisions and in applying biblical principles. Roman Catholics, for example, turn to church tradition and the magisterium (meaning teachers, including popes and councils) for answers. Protestants, particularly evangelicals, turn to linguists and scripture scholars for their answers, as well as to post-New Testament church councils and creeds. For many Christians, these councils and creeds are every bit as canonical as the Bible itself. To establish doctrine and to understand the biblical text, Latter-day Saints turn to living prophets and to additional books of scripture-the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. Together with the Old and New Testaments, the Book of Mormon supports an unequivocal testimony of Jesus Christ. One passage says that the Book of Mormon “shall establish the truth” of the Bible “and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people, that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the Savior of the world; and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved.” In its more than six thousand verses, the Book of Mormon refers to Jesus Christ almost four thousand times and by over one hundred different names: “Jehovah,” “Immanuel,” “Holy Messiah,” “Lamb of God,” “Redeemer of Israel,” and so on. The Book of Mormon is indeed “Another Testament of Jesus Christ,” as its title page proclaims. Conclusion Converts across the world continue to join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in part because of its doctrinal and spiritual distinctiveness. That distinctiveness flows from the knowledge restored to this earth, together with the power of the Holy Ghost present in the Church because of restored priesthood authority, keys, ordinances, and the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The fruits of the restored gospel are evident in the lives of its faithful members. While members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have no desire to compromise the distinctiveness of the restored Church of Jesus Christ, they wish to work together with other Christians-and people of all faiths-to recognize and remedy many of the moral and family issues faced by society. The Christian conversation is richer for what the Latter-day Saints bring to the table. There is no good reason for Christian faiths to ostracize each other when there has never been more urgent need for unity in proclaiming the divinity and teachings of Jesus Christ.

If somebody is bothered by Bible being mentioned in a video concerning the Jewish people - wake up! What did you expect - where are they first mentioned? Such a small nations, who would write much about them, the great nations during their days of power. What did Rome write about? What did Egypt write about? Mostly about themselves. So did the Jewish - but at least they wote something about their neighburs too, besides when Israel conquerd them. Which didn't happen much. And they didn't write only about themselves - they wrote also about God. God of all the nations. Ususally when texts are ethnically very self-centered, they stay local, they don't wake up international interest. But Christianity has spread all over this planet. Why have people from so many so different cultures thought God speaks for us from that book? And even though it says we can't do nothing to save ourselves from our own evil, so many find that to be the tuth. While other religions advice 'you should do this and this to save yourself, to enlighten, to purify yourself, to smarten up, to lose your lust for life, to lose weight, to gain muscle, to get money, to disconnect from life, to connect to life' ... What other sources we have of the Jews, of Israel? Some. Yeah, use them as well, all we can access - and with the same critique you're ready to put on the Bible. People use Veda literature when examining Indian history. Or Chinese religious texts when studying Chinese history. Chronicles of Nestor when studying Russian history. They can't be bypassed, but of course they can't be the only sources. In the Midde East the Gilgamesh or the Egyptian Book of Death, Greek mythology (which is similar, but not 1 to 1 the same as Edda) or Roman accounts are not necessarily any more truthful than Bible - can be even more wrong in some cases. At any rate they have references to their divinities and beliefs, worldview. Any critical eye when reading those views? Greek stories sound more like the fables of the folklore, middle ages and later - very fairytale like with their monsters (bogies of our fearful minds), and 'knights' of bronze armor. That's more believable than Bible? The squabbly soap opera of 'gods'? It's like watching the Bold and Beautiful, King Arthur, or any medieval, or modern court schemes. Very human, seldom humane. How often the very so to say atheistic, scientifique, scholars build schools with Greco-Roman columns, and put the statues of the Greek and Roman gods in their hallways. Not once the answer is: 'Because they represent the human architypes, reminds us of the wisdom in their stories, we're not worshipping them, or course!' Seems no problem to them that gods and demigods jump around in their academically approvable stories. They don't believe they believe the old Greek and Roman mythologies. - Uh-huh... said the Big Black Mama, and gave you the knowing nod, the the side glance and turned around heavily, with audible breathing and waving her laced fan in the heat. It's Sunday, she's in her prettiest dress, relaxed and humming happy after the church. She's not a fan of idle talk, to put it nicely. She rather goes to see the bull eat some grass in he field. Life is kicking now. The prophets writing the Bible often say: 'This and this year of King This-and-that, the word God came to me'. The relationship they had with God made it very likely a person like that would not easily lie - not likely. They knew from their history that it may result in death. So they didn't play power games etc. Or you can claim that of course, but don't be too hasty to judge. How you can know they were not sincere when writing, you know better what happened then? What comes to Bible, be critical if you like, it's a pretty good approach. But even critique has it's limits: We have to eat, drink, use toilet etc. without always questioning our needs or even choices available. - God actually wants us to be honest and ask questions. He doesn't want slavish 'yes-boys'. And the contact can be established, hence the prayer. It's basically nothing more than speaking from your heart to God. Oh, and listening. The ratio is likely 1:2 - One mouth, or heart - 2 ears. He's capable of answering. He made a book series because of that, using scribes. But a straight fast dial connection can be established. Prayer. Once you have connection with God, it's pretty useless to argue if there is God or not. Like if you have contacts with your mother and father, you know they exist. But if you have never even seen them, it is tougher of course. And the misusing parents - oh b... Yeah. Then it's hard to beliee God is good.But God creates life. Even if your parents did everything else wrong, you got your body from them, and your mind is now here reading these things, thinking. Knowing God is knowing a person (be it rather impressive one - but a person), the oldest father of our family called mankind. It's not about what's this atom composed of. We can study those too. But he's more interested in - How are you, you feeling fine? Or: Why the anger, fear, despise in your eyes, the glee in your eyes? Why the doubt? Or if you don't doubt, it's: How are you, my dear child?

[@Xerxes2005]

After Herod the Great died, his kingdom has indeed been divided among his sons. Archelaus was tetrarch of Judea, Samaria and Idumea (the southern part of Palestine), Antipas ruled over Galilee and Perea, while Philip was tetrarch of Iturea and Trachonitis (north-east). Archelaus was deposed in 6 AD and Judea (with Samaria and Idumea) became a roman province ruled by a prefect (ex. Pontius Pilate). In 41, Herod Agrippa I was made King of Judea by the Romans and reigned over a united Palestine. After his death in 44, the Kingdom of Judea was made a roman province again, ruled by a procurator.

Hey, reading back over the comments from a few years ago is pretty interesting .... I thought you did a pretty good job of melding the various historical sources for this narrative. The Israelites, IIRC, originally went to Egypt to escape one of those periods of hardship you describe in the Canaanite video, and were later treated less favorably by what I assume to be a change in dynastic leadership and therefore left for "greener pastures". I found it telling that so many of the commenters are so pro- or anti- Christianity as a religion that they can't allow for there to be some validity to the broad historical content of the Bible. It's easy to quote historical sources like the Egyptians and Hittites based on what we have found of their writings, but I hope people keep in mind that each group will report historical events from their perspective and in the best possible light regarding their actions. None of the accounts that we have are unbiased, which is why finding multiple sources discussing the same event[s] is so invaluable for historians - and why historically conquerors have been so assiduous in destroying the records of the previous rulers.

Judaism is the oldest religion, and Jesus himself was a Jew.

It was the first World War and the holocaust that really amped up the zionists which eventually led to the genocide today. There is also so much Islamophobia, but the ironic thing is that the majority of Jewish persecution was at the hands of Christians.

The Ethiopian Jews are from the tribe of Ephraim and the Indian Jews (from India) are from the tribe of Menashe with some Judeans that fled there with Bar Kokhva

[@alexhurt7919]

No "Jews" are from the 10 tribes. The term Jew delineates being a descendent of the nation of Judea. So it's an inaccurate label for anyone from the other 10 tribes. Israelite or the name of their tribe would be the accurate label. Weird that you're Israeli, presumably Jewish, and don't know this. It is interesting to hear what they teach in Israeli schools though. While it's possible some of the 10 tribes could have ended up in Israel, I don't think it's possible that they ended up in Ethiopia. What's more likely is Ethiopian Jews are either from Judea or are converts like khazars, Nero, or the group in southern Arabia whose name I've forgotten. That being said there are a number of people who claim the ark of the covenant is in Ethiopia. Of course the evidence of this is nearly non-existent nor would it really prove Israelite lineage.

[@Channel-ml4qv]

@@alexhurt7919 No, you’re the one that’s confused here. After the kingdom of Israel fell and the kingdom of Judea took over most of the region, tribal identity began to diminish as society advances and people migrate. By that point, all “בני ישראל” (children of Israel), began to be known as Jews (Yehudim in Hebrew) regardless of tribal identity because the entire region by that point was known as Judea (Yehuda in Hebrew). You’re confusing theology and actual history.

[@alexhurt7919]

@@Channel-ml4qv wrong. Judea didn't take over most of the region. They never expanded into Israel and were conquered by Babylonians. I don"t know why you're making stuff up that isn't true. When the Assyrians invaded Israel they scattered the population. If the descendents of those Israelites exist they don't even know they're Israelites. They also wouldn't call themselves Jews because they're not Jews. Yahudi means Judean, but the northern tribes never considered themselves Judean. What this means is Ethiopian Jews and Indian Jews can't be from any of the northern tribes because they wouldn't call themselves Jews. They'd call themselves Israelites or after the name of their specific tribe. Now that doesn't mean those tribes didn't end up in India or Ethiopia, it just means they wouldn't be calling themselves Jews.
