The Human Condition You Can't Escape (No Matter Where You Live)

Exile is one of the core, yet often overlooked, themes underlying the entire Biblical storyline. In this video, we'll see how Israel's exile to Babylon is a picture of all humanity's exile from Eden. As you might guess, Jesus is the one to open the way back home.

The importance of fellowship right? Being a pilgrim, journeying home is hard on your own, but it doesn't have to be. I'm journeying home aswell, I'll see you there.

The last part of the video about how Jesus’ followers are still in exile till we return home really clicked for me. I always had a longing to return “home”, I always felt like an outcast. I clung to the new age belief that i must’ve been some special alien starseed 🤦🏽‍♀️ but Jesus truly saved me, i was shown the truth and He shows us all The Way home🤍

Keep strong Preston Scott!! Let the haters hate. Palms 68:3-4 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Yah, and rejoice before him. Leviticus 26:13-18 I am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright. But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. 1Jo 5:2-4 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith

The way you guys color the end scene is so beautifully done with the navy blue darkness all around but Jesus' light as brilliant gold flooding the darkness into which his people can minister to the lost world. I feel like this is a very real representation of the spiritual work being done. Very beautifully done and inspirational, thank you.

Wow TBP! Thank you for another wonderful Bible video showing just how Awesome God’s Word is! The parallels in the Bible are fascinating and thank you to the genius of Dr. Mackie for pointing some out! Everything points to Jesus! As Revelation says, Come, LORD Jesus, Come! Until He comes back I pray I can be a tiny bit of Heaven on Earth as Jesus was! May YaHWeH continue to Bless TBP! ✞

The Bible Project No, Thank you! I can’t tell you how many people I tell about this one Channel on KZbin (and your website!). I tell people in the grocery store, picking up food in a drive-thru etc.! TBP is a huge gift that keeps on giving and the presents themselves give! I hope and pray you keep up God’s Work. Please ignore the haters - it may be Satan’s world but we don’t have to listen to him! You at TBP really have a unique talent and an ability to reach masses in a different way. The brilliance of Dr. Mackie combined with the technical skills of creative people have made The Bible more exciting and more attainable than ever. I sincerely thank you. It’s a privilege to help support such a wonderful ministry. God Bless TBP! ✞

"It doesn't matter where you live. We are all longing for a better home." I was struggling with trying to find a country or place where in I will feel at home - completely satisfied in terms of relationships, convenience, etc etc. So, I move from one country to another. Currently, I'm in China and was planning to move to either the US or Canada. However, something told me that wherever I am, I will never be satisfied and will end up country-hopping. This is because I already know the Truth - that is only in Jesus will I/we be satisfied. Thank you for this. This is a confirmation from the Lord. God bless you.
