You are awesome, Brant!! All of your explanations of Jewish history and scripture are excellent and highly instructive. Please keep it up, as you are currently one of the best Catholic theologians making videos on KZbin, and the Church today really needs your analysis and explanations of scripture and the Holy Faith!

[@commscompany1502]

Indeed some of us have been reading and following his work for decades ! So glad he finally has a channel and is using tech to truly amplify his gift and God s message.

[@user-tl6uh4sw5y]

what he said!

[@uteme]

If you're interested... Dr. Pitre has published a 3 video series; The Jewish Roots of St. Joseph; A Hidden King. WATCH IT!! I learned more about St. Joseph from the 1st video than I have in 27 years of Catholic Study... I kid you not! ALLELUIA!

[@jamesmonahan9408]

I will surely get the videos. Thank you!

[@dmcdmc3777]

I am so glad I found you. As a former protestant new Catholic I am amazed how I never knew what I Know now. To be deep in history is to cease to be protestant. Thank you ...

[@jamalama5548]

I would love to see Brant do a Bible study on the Book of Revelation. No one can explain complex issues of the Bible like he can and they don’t get any more compex than the Book of Revelation.

God bless you

The seven churches of Asia (Fire - summer) are Aries/Jupiter thru Libra/Saturn. The rider of the white horse = Jupiter/Aries (Fire) and the rider of the black horse = Juno and Libra (Air). The center candle is also the Shamash/SUN. Aries = Jupiter Amen/Amun/Amon/Aman the son of Neith of Sais Egypt. The Right Hand = Summer and the Arc/Ark of the Covenant with God (Supreme Sun). The Left Hand = Winter and the five signs/months of Winter (Rev 9.5). The scorpion leader = Scorpio. The five months that can harm man are Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. These five signs = 150 days of the flood (rainy season). These five signs are the five sons of Shem (Hades/Pluto) and Maha Bhaga.

Looks like the riff-raff got in in the comments.

[@SaintCharbelMiracleworker]

The middle candle of the temple menorah is always called the "Servant" candle, it is always lit first and the other candles are lit from the Servant Candle only. This is why in Catholic Churches when you enter and look at the altar you will see 3 candles on either side of the crucifix.

[@lucienlagarde8093]

Interesting I didn’t know that bro

[@mweb1]

Always entertaining and always right on in interpretations.

[@ChristineCorey]

I can listen to Dr. Pitre unpack Scripture all. Day. Long!! Get this man his own show please!

[@anthonyiannone8766]

What a great interpretation by Dr. Pitre; so much to learn, so little time. God Bless Brant!

[@peaceandjoy2568]

How true. The more I learn about the Fullness of the Truth that is the Catholic Faith the more I realize how unfathomable and awesome is the Truth. There is so much more to learn and it seems a lifetime is too short to learn everything. Thank you, Dr Pitre, for putting your brilliant mind in the service of God's people.

[@lingsuyen9509]

Thank you Dr Brant Pitre for a most enlightening commentary.

[@RGTomoenage11]

I remember reading revelation. So hard to understand…

[@josephpotter227]

Dr. I would love to see you engage in more apologetic work and dialogue with Protestants you work is very useful and I would like to see it be easier to get into the hands of Protestants

[@soniak2865]

excellent, thank you

[@veredictum4503]

Superb explanation. I am motivated to buy Dr Pitre's books now....

[@SimplicityOfLove]

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

[@IceSoLyrical]

Don't think so hard, the message is clear. Don't let others read for you. If you are willing please read the word of God the holy Bible.

[@dalelerette206]

The Lord Jesus will speak with a tongue so sharp, it will divide between soul and spirit - releasing our Spiritual Future from our Sinful Past. This can be found in Hebrews 4:12 where there Scriptures say, "For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." When I contemplate the Eucharistic with Franciscan Spirituality, I understand the Seven Golden Lampstands in the Book of Revelation to divide along the seven lively virtues: chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility: We are perfected as Christ is Perfect. 💝 .

[@pastormoffatphiri586]

To the angel of the church at Ephesus write....this means angels will read or a Pastor of the church??

[@fredrickotieno3562]

Thanks!

[@pascualaasetre6102]

I hope you will have another podcast explaining the seven Churches. Is the Church of Laodicea symbolizes or represents the Roman Catholic Church?

[@NOSchild]

He has white hair and looks like a son of man, and is referred to as the ancient of days. That's our heavenly father Adam assuming the throne which God had ultimately meant for him, that is who is being described in the revelation..... God our creator is before time and space and is spirit with no physical image, Adam was created he was to have the minion over all the works and creations of God his father The only true being to actually be created from God alone with no mother. That's why Jesus said call no man on earth your father for your father is in Heaven.

[@stephenler3850]

Awesome explaination of, how to read and understand the book of revelation. 👏👏👏

[@mariagarciasilva4124]

Dr. Pitre, I bet your students are delighted with your lectures. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, wisdom and enlightening. You rock!!!!!

[@lieissin2782]

Thank you very much, Dr Brant for giving me the understanding of GOD'S Word and His Truth. Please teach more so that "those who hunger and thirst for Righteousness" shall be filled. GOD bless you 🙏

[@jperez7893]

What is the real correct pronunciation of the name of the Hebrew God? Is it Yahweh? Or Yehovah? Or are we supposed to ignore and completely erase from our minds and in our hearts the name of God so it is completely forgotten and unutterable? It’s a bit Satanic that everyone can enumerate all the names of the false gods but the pronunciation of the name of the One True God is unknown. It seems Satan might be rolling on the floor laughing at the stupidity of it all.

[@BlessedFavoure]

Truly Holy Spirit led. Thank you for such insights. God bless.

[@jamesmonahan9408]

This is a tremendous help. Thank you Dr. Brant.

ETERNAL GLORY TO THE ONLY HEAVENLY FATHER YAHUAH AND HIS SON YAHUSHA! THE RIGHT NAME OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS YAHUAH, AND THE NAME OF HIS SON OF OUR SAVIOR IS YAHUSHA! LORD, GOD ETC ... THESE ARE ONLY PAGAN TITLES REPLACED BY REAL HEBREW NAMES!

[@SuzysRedStripes]

Interesting

[@IceSoLyrical]

Please accept Jesus Christ into your heart. If you have please listen... I understand that there are all kinds of symbolic meanings behind the word if you dig into it .. but please understand the Lord speaks straight forward too... He means what he said... Read revelations word for word... Jesus is coming soon...

[@4Theslimeinthematrix]

That tells me Jesus is black and this guy is trying 2 run away from that fact !

[@MrKpadehyea]

He did not give the interpretation for ““His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace”

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT BEING A HINDU? By Francois Gautier. Diversity in Divinity and Unity in Spirituality. 1) Believe in God ! - Aastik - Accepted 2) Don't believe in God ! - You're accepted as Nastik 3) You want to worship idols - please go ahead. You are a murti pujak. 4) You dont want to worship idols - no problem. You can focus on Nirguna Brahman. 5) You want to criticise something in our religion. Come forward. We are logical.

Please go ahead with it. 7) You want to start your journey by reading Bhagvad Gita - Sure ! 8) You want to start your journey by reading Upanishads - Go ahead. 9) You want to start your journey by reading Purana - Be my guest. 10) You just don't like reading Puranas or other books. No problem my dear. Go by Bhakti tradition . ( bhakti- devotion) 11) You don't like idea of Bhakti ! No problem. Do your Karma. Be a karmayogi. 12) You want to enjoy life. Very good. No problem at all. This is Charvaka Philosophy. 13) You want to abstain from all the enjoyment of life & find God - jai ho ! Be a Sadhu, an ascetic ! 14) You don't like the concept of God. You believe in Nature only - Welcome. (Trees are our friends and Prakriti or nature is worthy of worship). 15) You believe in one God or Supreme Energy. Superb!

Shakti is worshipped. 19) You believe that every human being is equal. Yeah! You're awesome, come on let's celebrate Hinduism! "Vasudhaiva kutumbakam" (the world is a family) 20) You don't have time to celebrate the festival. Don't worry. One more festival is coming! There are multiple festivals every single day of the year. 21) You are a working person. Don't have time for religion. Its okay. You will still be a Hindu. 22) You like to go to temples. Devotion is loved. 23) You don't like to go to temples - no problem. You are still a Hindu! 24) You know that Hinduism ☺ is a way of life, with considerable freedom. 25) You believe that everything has God in it. So you worship your mother, father, guru, tree, River, Prani-matra, Earth, Universe! 26) And If you don't believe that everything has GOD in it - No problems. Respect your viewpoint. 27) "Sarve jana sukhino bhavantu " (May you all live happily) You represent this! You're free to choose, my dear Hindu! This is exactly the essence of Hinduism, all inclusive .. That is why it has withstood the test of time inspite of repeated onslaught both from within and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why it is eternal !!! There is a saying in Rigveda , the first book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell -" Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah"- Let the knowledge come to us from every direction "
