This feels like what a lot of people are missing. They don't have a community of people who are meditating on these ideas and studying how these documents came to be. Even though it's virtually it still feels like filling in a gap of what it means to be the church.

These podcasts are fantastic. Your work together is truly blessed - you guys never seem to hit an off-note. From the rotating timeline to the contemplative musical interludes, just perfect. Jon, the knowledgeable everyman asking questions we out here are often pondering, leading to always interesting little detours, and Tim, sharing what he's learned through all those years of dedicated study... I don't know, just please keep them coming.Tim's teaching Ministry was the best of the best in my book. These podcasts are right up there with all that work. Thank uou! Thank you! Thank you!

What is the kingdom of God that Jesus talks about so much and how does that contrast with Babylon’s true vision?

[@bobbyflamez8857]

I’m no biblical scholar, but didn’t babylon conquer and kill their way to power for selfish gain? While Jesus has set up His kingdom on the foundation of pure love and self sacrifice and calls us to do the same?

[@jrgilby]

I've been working on a theory that there were multiple dispersions in the Bible, the first was the expulsion from Eden and the spread of mankind before the flood. The second was the deluge, all humanity is destroyed except for eight, and again, mankind spreads worldwide again. Third, at Babel, and language is dispersed. This one is significant, because while their language was confused, these master builders still had their skills, so they traveled the world and started building the super structures in Egypt, Malta, MesoAmerica and even the East Indies. These master builders should have also had boats (via Noah) and navigation to follow the peoples who dispersed post flood.

[@danieltan2869]

I’m reading The Richest Man in Babylon now and I have questions about living in ancient cities from a non-Biblical framework. Will you guys be doing a Q + R podcast as soon as this is wrapped up?

I would like to add on to that part where God slowed things down. We can also see that in the antikythera mechanism. Built around during the time of Plato. No other piece of advanced mechanical technology has ever been found it was only recreated/reinvented around 1600s - early 1800s. Also I would like to thank you for answering a question I've had for a while about eating of the apple a second time and living forever.

[@Cryser1985]

I don't get something: if Noah is from the line of Seth, how is Nimrod from the line of Cain? if the flood was to put an end to the Nephlim, how is it Nimrod one? I am missing the biblical foundations for these conclusions or ideas.... not saying they are wrong, only I am missing where did they get this from

[@ryanwilson8574]

Wow, just shared: so we should be leery to allow our hearts on a self-praising city devoid of God’s leadership? God cares about the means(?!) Rad scholarship to be able to jump into and be reminded of what is communicated by God and what I should do.

[@AndyZach]

The idea of Genesis being written Jews in Babylon is merely a theory. It was probably edited then, but it wasn't literally written then or it leads to a contradiction, for Moses is said to have written it. Moses had access to Joseph's records, which probably included all of Genesis.

[@ericrobertson9993]

Ham's act reminds me of Absalom having his way with his father's concubines

[@re8618]

Hi. You guys are saying that when “Ham looked at the nakedness of his father” when he was inebriated, that means Ham had sex with his own mother, because the term is an idiom/metaphor? That is assuming a lot, especially since it is explained that his brothers went and covered their naked dad with a blanket after Ham “looked at him”. Where does the mom play into this?? Edit fixed spelling

[@saltyprepper5518]

They mentioned that 'nakedness' of a man elsewhere refers to a man's wife. So presumably Noah got a bit drunk, and he and his wife slept together, and then Ham came in while Noah was out. Or something like that. Then his other sons covered him.

[@the.mr.nobody]

Old texts say Ham cut his father. (Snip) No more babies, no more splitting of land. Just keep reading old texts.

[@nasonguy]

If you listen to what they’re actually saying it makes sense. Reading the Bible in a modern English translation without cultural and historical context is actually where you are assuming a lot.

In the book of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar wanted the Jews to worship his golden statue.

If the nakedness of Ham's father is his father's wife, then why bother to detail that Noah was drunk and uncovered? Gen 9:21 "And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent." I can't deny what you say, because I haven't studied Hebrew, but the way this is written in English indicates that it's about Noah. It says that *_he_* was drunk, and *_he_* was uncovered in his tent. Are there any non-KJV translations that capture the meaning you claim?

[@Keesha_Hardy]

So in the ESV, these are the verses I’ve found: ““‘Cursed be anyone who lies with his father’s wife, because he has uncovered his father’s nakedness.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’” ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭27‬:‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬ ““None of you shall approach any one of his close relatives to uncover nakedness. I am the Lord. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, which is the nakedness of your mother; she is your mother, you shall not uncover her nakedness. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife; it is your father’s nakedness.” ‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭18‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “If a man lies with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.” ‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭20‬:‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬ ETA: These verses say similarly in the KJV though.

[@pollyann9526]

My guess, building the tower of Babel was like being hooked up to The Borg (Star Trek) that people were slaved and didn't even know to cry out. Not a good unity. Captain B-card was victim of the Borg in need of rescue. God confused language to set slaves free. My guess.

*This is for all who never received the love of the truth enough to know the Shepard's voice from the wolf's voice which includes pretty much every ''Christian'' out there...* *Even though you were made to believe that the bible can never be changed and that God wouldn't allow it, He actually only promised to protect His word until the last days. Daniel 12:4 & 12:9 and Revelation 22:10 He promised to send a famine for hearing His word in the last days too, and that we won't be able to find it anywhere in Amos **8:11**-12. In Daniel 7:25 God said that He would give the AC power to "change times and laws" for a short time which we now know meant history, laws of physics and scripture. The famine for hearing God's word has already been sent! Because when hearing "pastors" today, you're hearing some of Satan's words mixed in with God's words **_UNAWARE!_** This truth shines a light on people and exposes who the Wheat and the tares are. Wheat ALWAYS react the same way, they immediately investigate to PROVE if this is true or not, find out it is and start warning their brothers and sisters because they LOVE truth and OBEY God's commandment to "prove all things". Tares ALWAYS react the same way too, they quote scriptures and argue instead of looking into the videos offered as proof.* *The tares are being divided from the wheat and the famine for hearing the words of God has been sent! Our bibles will never be taken from us like we used to believe, they have all just been changed by Satan into his "rat poison." Rat poison is 99.95% corn, and even though the rats love it, it is 100% fatal for every rat that eats it. If you are still reading ANY bible now without knowing a LOT about what the thousands of supernatural changes in it are, Satan is laughing at you! Soon Amos **8:12** will be fulfilled like **8:11** already has, because they are going to cut our lights! The ONLY place you can still find God's words without risking reading some of Satan's mixed in unaware is in the videos DOCUMENTING the changes or in written lists of the documented changes like the one at the web site (amos)(8)(.)(org). I urge EVERYONE to open up your bible and watch as many as you can NOW! There will be time to read Satan's rat poison later if you want. I will never read mine again, and haven't for 7 years. It gives me the creeps just looking at it like if I was looking at a Ouija board on my bookshelf or something, so it will stay in a box in my closet. I learned so much about this it disgusts me! There are thousands of changes, they're on every page, many are ridiculously obvious and blasphemous, and they are ongoing!!* 👉 *The first few short films are just about Isaiah 11:6, and could easily prove it was changed in any court of law in the world. Open any bible to that verse and watch those films, (this is one of the two universal changes, the other is Luke 19:27) I don't make films btw, they were made by 6 other true followers of Jesus (TRUTH) who researched to find "residue" showing that it used to say "LION" instead of "wolf".* *Watch all of the rest of the films for a good understanding of how this is perfectly fulfilling many end time prophecies that we had all previously misinterpreted simply because we had no idea they would be fulfilled supernaturally. It's funny how many people who claim to believe the bible just scoff if you talk about the supernatural. LOL But when people see absolute proof of this with their own eyes, their faith is strengthened greatly! You can read some of their testimonies on my COMMUNITY page.* *Here are a couple examples of the replies I receive from the "wheat"...* Hello Residue Junkie, my name is Tamara Dobson. God lead me to you through a call for an uprising. I just wanted you to know how blessed I have been through finding you. For awhile I thought I was losing my mind, because of the things that I was seeing and experiencing, that so many around me were apparently not seeing. And I couldn't understand how or why that would be, unless maybe, I was in fact losing my mind. About 2 years ago I was diagnosed with white matter disease, which I thought was a completely ridiculous notion, however alzheimers and dementia, as well as a vast laundry list of other mental degenerative disorders are associated with it. So I thought it was at least possible, however, that never set right with my spirit. Any way, I was thinking about you and hoping all is well with you and yours. I remember you mentioned that your health is not the best and I hope you are feeling better. But I mostly hope you're in good spirits and your faith is still strong . Much love and many prayers for you and yours, & God willing, I hope to meet you someday, so I can hug you and thank you in person for restoring & strengthening my faith . john oz Yes residue junkie I was a backsliden Pastor, away from God for over 25 years. When I found out that Isaiah 11:6 had supernaturaly changed from a lion to a wolf. It spun me out, and as a result it brought me back to Christ. I have been back in the arms of Jesus for 12 months now. I see changes in the bible constantly now. For example, you can not find the words, "hallelujah, demons or wineskins" in the Old KJV bible anymore. Too many changes to go into. In Gen 1:1, the word heavens has changed to heaven. It no longer has the letter s in the word.... *To see proof of many of the changes plus all of the end time prophecies this is perfectly fulfilling, and to receive the greatest strengthening of faith you ever had, type in PROOF OF BIBLE CHANGE RESIDUE JUNKIE. God bless you all!!!* *Everyone will learn about this eventually, I'm simply trying to keep as many as I can from learning about it at the Gate.* ❤✝️💪
