Unboxing the Bible’s Mystery Gemstones - Onyx, Lapis & More!

Hope you enjoyed this video! We tried to pack it full of info. Did you like this look at the more historic aspect of gemstones? Would you like to see more videos like this? Let us know!

As I've said to you before, I have actually decoded all of these, and it goes so far past just the stones into large discoveries in all ancient cultures. I've been studying this topic for more than a year after reading more than 300 books, and I'll be selling beautiful bracelets made of the best of *these* stones on the market now together with sharing my science paper and probably a really amazing book already. Lots of new researches are coming in the fields of language and media design. These 12 have been my inspiration from breathtaking Apocalypse and how many colors these can gift to our world. P.S. Carnelian is not originally the first 😉 And my list is 100, I repeat, 100% correct (sounds unbelievable, huh? But I've rendered this truth obvious in my paper). Original list from ~16th century BCE is so very different.

As a believer in God’s word, I am truly loving the fact that you were respectful of the stones in Aaron’s breastplate. The discussions were so fascinating. Stones and minerals etc. were talked about a lot in the scriptures, usually for good purposes, even David’s 5 pebbles. My large collection of gems and minerals are a reminder that God created them for us to use and enjoy. Thank you for today’s episode guys- I loved it. 🥰🥰

I was sent to Hebrew School and like that you acknowledge that most things in the Torah and later the Xtian book are not literal truth. !חַג שָׂמֵחַ

[@GEMSofGOD_com]

You're right. Still, the books' main purpose has been to mythologically combine the knowledge of the origins of human civilization, and the results, when canonized, were supposed to contain the essense of city building for everyone to know. The readings better be mega literal, word-for-word, for the best understanding.

[@michaeltrudell9356]

The Hebrew names for these stones are for specific colors. The Hebrew word for Sapphire is about the same as English.The book I'm writing has a chapter about the stones on Aaron's Breastplate. I began watching this channel for help with understanding and identifying the different stones but I have my doubts that we can rule out the possibility of the Ancients being able to cut and engrave the harder stones. There is historical evidence of the possibility. I want to cite this channel as one of my sources and I've been wanting to send you a copy of my book when it's finished and ready to publish 🙂

Michael, I'm sort of sorry to tell you the truth, but you're nowhere near 5% into the actual research if you have doubts about the hardness

[@Jerry-pi1wl]

The stones represent names, with meanings, conveying the Gospel. Men in their wisdom have become fools. Remember the appearance of the one upon the throne? The rainbow around the throne? Here is the interpretation by the Spirit of God and the Holy Scriptures, may the Lord give you understanding. The Jasper is the last stone on the breastplate of judgment. The Sardine is the first. The Emerald is the fourth. Each represents a name and meaning. Jasper is Benjamin, son of the right hand. Sardine is Reuben, to behold. He is the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, and many that be first shall be last, and last first. There is a rainbow of praise (Emerald, Judah, meaning praise) around the throne, meaning the manifold things to praise him for in all of his covenants. The Son of man, the Lord, is seated on his throne, beholding all the sons of men. Behold, the Son of God, the LORD, seated upon his throne and worship thou him. Blessed are the pure in heart.

[@jannahhankins1614]

This was such a great and engaging video and I really enjoyed all of the research you guys put into it! My mom was a Sunday school teacher until just recently, and I remember her having a card with small stones attached to it that were supposed to represent possible stones used for Aaron's breastplate. I'll have to show her this video because I know she'll enjoy and appreciate it! I also really appreciate that you took the time to showcase all of the different possible gemstones that might have been used rather than focusing on only one option for each tribe. Really well done and I'd LOVE to see more historical gemstone videos like this in the future! 🤩

[@lgaines4086]

The Bible calls silver, silver everywhere in the text so I agree with your aquamarine.

[@GEMSofGOD_com]

The real stone was much closer to silver in appearance

[@drpk6514]

Yahalem might have been Jade whitish nephrite And other one I thinkn was pearl. Your excuse was that Pearl was "extremely rare" which is not really true. Diving for pearl was a common job for the people near the sea and pearl was mined for millenia and traded, It was valuable but used and thats why it should have been one the gems used by them. Gad you chose turquoise for the right reason I have seen many dont include it in the list which is ridiculous.

[@GEMSofGOD_com]

No, both suppositions 100% wrong

[@GEMSofGOD_com]

Turquoise is true since the very beginning though

[@averagemanhempgars502]

From my reading they would have every stone available to them leaving Egypt with tons of riches via the exodus also the ability to carve them from what they was taught in Egypt from building etc

[@GEMSofGOD_com]

Even their language. And this, indeed, was genius finding of some jewish slave. To match Egyptian glyphs they didn't understand well with specific sounds and make easily the most valuable discovery in history, alphabet.

[@barbaraeidinger6826]

The Freemasons co-opted the 12 stone breastplate for their rites... Any joy on mineral id there?

Great video, and very insightful. I have one question and one humble request: Q: Instead of #7 being amber, what do you think of the warm stone being Amber's younger brother - Copal? Copal seems warmer/lighter to me and is made of the same organic material just not 10 million years old. Any feedback, pro or con? Humble Request: As Rev 21 describes the 12 layers, could you please create a video talking thru each of the Revelation stones in a similar fashion? Are all of the same stones used only in different positions? Again, wonderful video and delivery! Thank you for posting!

[@gems]

It’s an interesting thought. Of course, back then, methods to distinguish copal and amber would have been quite limited. The thought is that whichever stone this was, it was a particularly fine variety….your request has been noted. We did do a video on Gems of Heaven and touched on the foundation stones of new Jerusalem, but we’d love to go further in depth one day.

[@GoldenQ.]

Rear and expensive is no excuse remember just how rich they were when they left Egypt, Egypt had so many decades of trade from Ethiopia to what is now Turkey before the Israelite and during their slavery to the Egyptians, don't forget GOD gave them all the know how to make/work tools gold and so on,if GOD wanted them to know something they knew it.

[@zariahlafleurpowell7028]

Amazing, awesome, very cool. That you guys are doing this. I would say it was safe to steer clear of the pearl. As in that time, they did not eat shellfish. It is centered unclean even to touch. I really do think that the breast plate would correlate directly with revelation. But that would take serious studying. other science nowadays that shows that the stones in revelation Would all be asatoprofic in instead of isotrophic? I'm not sure if I spell gold's words right? But the idea is that when pure light shines through the stones, they well be seen. And not go black like diamond and ruby are just black. But the other stones often have colors App shown through light, pure light.

[@gems]

Yes, we've seen those claims. It's anisotropic and isotropic. Basically, anisotropic gems split light while isotropic gems do not. Ruby is actually anisotropic (though some of the stones that were called "ruby" in those days were isotropic). Diamond is not. The idea is that, in some translations, all the gems in the foundation of New Jerusalem are anisotropic. And since they split the light, this allows them to create certain light effects when viewed through a polarizer, while isotropic stones remain dark. I'm not sure where I fall on this. There is decent evidence that at least one of the stones in the breastplate was garnet, and that is isotropic. But, I haven't really delved into it deeply. Maybe that would be a good idea for another video?

As for the pearl, I think you can eliminate it, as it is produced by an animal that ancient Hebrews were taught to consider unclean. Shellfish were not on the menu, and pearls would not have been appropriate on the most utterly holy object, the breastplate, no matter how lovely. Beryl seems more probable.
