This part of the Old Testament was the hardest part of the Bible for me to accept when I first came to Christ over 40 years ago. What I finally figured out was to put it in the perspective of Ephesians 6:10-17. Dr. Brown mentioned the child sacrifice that was common in Canan and all the other gross rebellion and sin practiced at that time. In the Spiritual Warfare perspective, the Cananites were completely given over to sin (Satan), worshipping Baal and Mollech and who knows what other false gods. Consider that those false gods were actually demons, and the culture was completely given over to them, all the way down to the babies that they routinely placed alive in the fire, so they killed them themselves anyway. Add into that the possibility of the seed of the Nephtalim flowing thru their veins and Israel faced a mix at least as volitile as Noah faced. Then compare that to the demoniac that Jesus encountered at Garasene. That legion of demons begged Jesus to send them into the nearby herd of pigs so that they could avoid having to go back into the abyss. Why? Maybe because those demons could not stay in this world or dimension if they did not inhabit a physical body? If that is the case, then the reason returning Israel was to destroy every living thing was to eliminate demonic activity in the Promised Land. Simple as that. And Psalm 106 describes the end result of that failure. I just take the Bible for what it says. God may explain to me this and all the other questions I have some day in eternity, or He may not. His ways are higher than mine, and I am good with that. I just trust in Jesus.
I did a little bible study/reading/examination on Mark 5, the demoniac about 3 years ago. I'd love to know your thoughts on it if you feel interested in checking it out. Now, for this passage in scripture that Dr. Brown is handling, yeah its a tough one, but God didn't hide it from us.
Bro,you can't take the Bible for what it say..Because than literal lamb saved you..and many symbolic meaning you need to take for granted.. The whole Scripture is to show you something..And 1st thing is that man didn't know God. They all believed that there is higher power,but they mind's made images of God that they than have worshiped.. And man,because of his fallen state portrait God that want to be obeyed,or he would not give rain,or bring some catastrophe, if they don't do.. They in fact made God in their own image.. While True God didn't even commanded burnt offerings or sacrifices,but jews saw from others,and thought,well we need to do it also.. And if you just think about it,you have others ,like Mayan,Inca,they had no knowledge of other civilisations,they did it also.. Same today...Man believe again that God will burn people in hell...Same as those before. Even after He came and show who torture,kill,and who rise to life..They again believe in baal,not God of the Bible..Christians my man...Do you really think if you worship someone who will burn his children is Jesus Christ? God of the Bible made peace with man,they still believe in religious manipulation God made peace by cross...Cross will never be removed,so peace will never end... people just blaspheme God,and are enemies of the cross.. Isa 54:10 For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, NOR SHALL My covenant of peace BE REMOVED,” Says the LORD, who has mercy on you. What happened in Isaiah 53 that cause peace to come? Col 1:20 and by Him TO RECONCILE ALL things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
God has freewill to think & do good or evil ... but .... God chose to be Holy ... forever & ever. There is only God ... and God does not procreate God. But God decided He wanted to become a Father of actual Children ( flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood) ... and so ..... the Angel of God created Heaven, Hell, Universe & Earth, billions of Angels and Adam & Eve ... with a body & soul ... and freewill ... to go forth & MULTIPLY ... and live with God forever. Are you starting to see how God .... will become an actual Father of Children ( with the same flesh & blood)? The Angel of God .... knew it would take 7 x 1000 years ... to save the Children of God ... from the Children of Man (Adam) ... and ... God remaking Hiim ... the first Child of God ... with a body & soul ... becoming the Son of God. When you accept Jesus as Lord & Savior ... your sins are forgiven ... and you give God (FAther, Spirit) permission ... to remake you ... and Child of God ( Jesus) ... as they remade the Angel of God ... into the Son of God. Only God creates Life, and He gave Mankind the ability to procreate God's Children. And the Angels in Heaven ... do not marry or have sex .. and definitely can not make life. There is marriage or sex in Heaven as everybody will be Holy just like God. God's Children ... will come from Mankind procreating over 7 x 1000 years. And the current year is 5994. Jesus returns in 6 years time ... to rule over sinful Mankind for the last 1000 years. The Sons of God are simply Angels & Men. And only Men would marry and procreate with woman. Demons would rape, Men, woman & children .. not want to get married and raise a family. lol. The Children of God ... call the Son of God ... my Father & God. The Son of God ... who was originally the Angel of God ... calls God ... my Father & God. This is how God became an actual Father of Children ( flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood).
Thank you for reposting these answers! Very hard topics for sure but it is wonderful for our trusted teachers to biblically take them on and share their knowledge.
We are operating in the here and now under the New and everlasting covenant given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ. The Amelek reference is from Old Covenant time. The New Testament clearly tells us that the Old Covenant was the ministration of death. The New Covenant is the ministration of life and peace.
❤I truly appreciate your honesty and sober understanding of the Scriptures... I would like to share my honest 'opinion' about '''a possibility''' of our existence,, with the intent of expanding your understanding of what may be so.... I came to realize at some point, not to long ago,,, that it is impossible for myself to understand or know how 'Intelligent', God the Almighty Creator and Sustainer of everything Is... It was then that I realized that God being the Knower of all,, of both past and 'future',,, that I began to connect the dots of 'possibility'... First one would have to believe that He has a plan... Secondly one could then speculate a 'possible' objective... My speculation is God's Loving and '''Just''' Nature,,, has been 'challenged' by the prideful 'angelic being(s),, within the safeguard of 'taking for granted ' the loving nature of God,,, and possibly the Justice of capability to bring an '''end''' to such a '''being'''... Thirdly,,, I could only conclude that Eve's deception in the garden of eden,,, played right into God's Plan,,, in 'Allowing' everything to be 'Intelligently' and predictably carried out, until the 'Objective' is complete,,, and Justice can then ''Be'''.…..... Now I hesitate to share this view with anyone,, as I am still in personal, spiritual and mental warfare with the 'adversary',,, and cannot know wether my thoughts are for good, or not so good results with 'sharing' them... In the name of Jesus Christ our True Lord and Savior, may anyone who may read this realize it only to be human thought, and not from Scripture,, where the real Truth can be found, Amen?,,, Amen, amen...❤
Psalms 137:9 KJV [9]Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. Isaiah 13:1,16 [1]The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see. [16]Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished. Psalms 137:9 Was prophesying about how the enemies of Babylon would do unto them.
I think I remember that I recently heard (since Oct 7) that Flavius Josephus wrote that the Edomites gathered on the Mount of Olives while the Romans were destroying Jerusalem in 70 AD chanting "Dash the heads of their children on the stones" or something to that effect.
@@JimSkees1955 correct. In the time of Nebuchadnezzar II the Edomites may have helped plunder Jerusalem and slaughter the Judaeans in 587 or 586 BCE (Psalms 137:7; Obadiah 1:11-14). Edom is the final enemy against Israel, and edomites rule the world today. They are also pretending to be jews because history clearly states they have assimilated into jews. so now jews are the scapegoat even tho they are the biggest enemy of the elites
Thank you for this thorough, articulate look at this subject. Jesus said the last days would be like the days of Noah; from when I started discussing this sort of thing with other believers, things have got 'Progressively' crazier. I appreciate the gangrenous analogy, makes me think of Isaiah 1 and 53. Israel and the nations have their sicknesses diagnosed, then the Great Physician is revealed.
It simple. A soul that sins die. But God doesnt want anyone to die , he nudges them towards repentance. Heck ! He sent Jonah to Nineveh for them to repent. But if you refuse, you will surely die. You cant eat your cake and have it. God is not to be mocked.
The Psalm 145 verse was a good one to have read, saying He’s good to ALL. Most of the others were about and to the Jews so they don’t create as full of a backdrop for a discussion about God’s commandments to kill people of other nations.
To sum all this up, the speaker here comes to the conclusion of a Star Trek 2: The Wrath Of Khan quote. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few..or the one."
1 Samuel 15 Saul Defeats the Amalekites 1One day Samuel said to Saul, “It was the LORD who told me to anoint you as king of his people, Israel. Now listen to this message from the LORD! 2This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies has declared: I have decided to settle accounts with the nation of Amalek for opposing Israel when they came from Egypt. 3Now go and completely destroya the entire Amalekite nation-men, women, children, babies, cattle, sheep, goats, camels, and donkeys.” 4So Saul mobilized his army at Telaim. There were 200,000 soldiers from Israel and 10,000 men from Judah. 5Then Saul and his army went to a town of the Amalekites and lay in wait in the valley. 6Saul sent this warning to the Kenites: “Move away from where the Amalekites live, or you will die with them. For you showed kindness to all the people of Israel when they came up from Egypt.” So the Kenites packed up and left. 7Then Saul slaughtered the Amalekites from Havilah all the way to Shur, east of Egypt. 8He captured Agag, the Amalekite king, but completely destroyed everyone else. 9Saul and his men spared Agag’s life and kept the best of the sheep and goats, the cattle, the fat calves, and the lambs-everything, in fact, that appealed to them. They destroyed only what was worthless or of poor quality
Hate to break it to you but…. The thing that will cause you to understand this is not yet alive in you. God’s Spirit! Take me for instance. I believe! Therefore it makes perfect sense for God to say this. The name of God’s game was to protect the line that the future proclaimed messiah came through. So the enemy of the Hebrew was the enemy of the messiah. God knows what He’s doing. There are enemy kings that knew the deliverer was coming and sent out a decree to get every male child 2 and under. In the old and new testament. Why? Study that and you’ll understand why God takes these kinds of actions.
Sometimes it’s wisdom to says I don’t understand this portion of scripture. Even if one is a Hebrew scholar. You seem to suggest the Psalms were sometimes written in the persons own hand suggesting their feels are coming through. That would make those Psalms man’s word and not God’s. Holy men if God spake as their were move by the Holy Spirit. If one changes one part if scripture one has to think what else is he changing. Somethings will only be understood when we are in His Holy presence.
zechariah 2:8 Contemporary English Version Then the glorious LORD All-Powerful ordered me to say to the nations that had raided and robbed Zion: Zion is as precious to the LORD as are his eyes. Whatever you do to Zion, you do to him. New International Version For this is what the LORD Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you-for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye New Living Translation After a period of glory, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies sent me against the nations who plundered you. For he said, “Anyone who harms you harms my most precious possession.
Here is the LORD commanding Saul regarding the Amalekites: 1 Samuel also said unto Saul, The Lord sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the Lord. 2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. 3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. -1 SAMUEL 15:1-3 Saul disobeyed the LORD by not carrying out the full wrath of God. This displeased the LORD: 9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly. 10 Then came the word of the Lord unto Samuel, saying, 11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the Lord all night. -1 SAMUEL 15:9-11 Later on, Samuel carried out the will of God by killing Agag in front of the LORD: 32 Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past. 33 And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal. -1 SAMUEL 15:32-33 When the LORD directs His people to kill anyone and everyone of a certain tribe or whatever, the people of God need to obey utterly what God commands. Unlike men, God has access to everyone’s thoughts and motives, so God has perfect judgment. While the LORD bestows His love upon thousands of generations, He executes His wrath upon the guilty to the third and fourth generation: “Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.” -EXODUS 34:7 During the tribulation period, God will open up the place where His weapons are stored and says to utterly destroy those in Babylon (see JER 50:25-26). Remember Saul's disobedience! Jesus spoke a parable that occurs during the tribulation period when He said to bring before Him someone who didn’t want Jesus as their King and slay that person in the presence of Jesus (see LUKE 19:27). During the tribulation period, the bodies will be piled up in the streets so much so that people will stumble over them (see NAHUM 3:3). Like it or not, God is a God of love, but He is also a God of wrath. His love is the fiercest love and His wrath is the fiercest wrath. The modern so-called church is totally unprepared for what's coming down the pike. But ready or not, here comes the end of the age. Without apology, the LORD will execute all that He has planned: 13 The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies. 14 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once. 15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools. 16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them. -Isaiah 42
The old testament was all about reaping and sowing. The old testament prophets were covenant keepers. So if they were told to do this, it was restitution. God is not mocked.
If Saul of Tarsus was happy by persecuting Christians as he did, he didn't stay happy about it. No matter the excuse given, no child of God should take comfort in such rationale. Even kids today call a rationale to sin, a cope. It always takes coping to sin.
Was Jonah .... inspired by God ... or an imperfect Human Being who hated the People of Ninevah? God created Mankind ... with freewill ... to think & do good or evil ... and ... to follow & obey God (Father, Son, Spirit) or Man. And God knew before He created Adam & Eve ... every thought & action ... of every Human Being ... over the next 7 x 1000 years .... which is why God had a 6 day creation and the 7th Day belongs to HIm. The punishment for sin is death (body & soul). You sin, you must die (body & soul). Adam & Eve were created perfect ... with freewill ... to procreate Mankind live forever with God ... but if they sin ( break God's law) then they and Mankind will die (body & soul). They freely chose to sin, knowing God is real and the punishment is death .... and they gave all of their descendants corrupted bodies & souls ... where everybody will freely sin ... and must die (body & soul). But God from the very beginning ... has only wanted Man ... to follow & obey God (Father, Son & Spirit) ... fight your evil nature and do good not evil .... and if you have the faith of Abraham .... you sins will be forgiven through the Messiah (God's only Son) ... and you will be remade perfect just like Adam & Eve ... but this time you will be given a Holy natue ... just like God (Jesus).
HE DID IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. And Samuel said to Saul, “The Lord sent me to anoint you king over his people Israel; now therefore listen to the words of the Lord. Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘I have noted what Amalek did to Israel in opposing them on the way when they came up out of Egypt. Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’ (1 Samuel 15:1-3 ESV) JEWS USE THE OLD TESTAMENT AS THEIR GUIDE.
You took a couple examples and then excused them off as a matter of interpretation and hyperbolic language. There are so many more examples and to excuse them all as such is removing the obvious and plain truth right there in plain sight. A bit disappointing. If we can't trust the Word as accurate without having to change all its meaning, it doesn't do much for the confidence and Faith we have in the Word of God. If the Word offends people, it's not God's fault and He doesn't need anyone to rewrite His Word . The Goodness of God is not subject to our humanistic and quite selfish understanding of what is good, and that's the main issue here. We want to think that God thinks and believes like us when we still hold on to so many selfish mindsets. Good, bad, right, wrong, positive, negative. This is all subjective to one's own understanding and when we feel uncomfortable with God's righteousness not meeting our own selfish definition of edification, we have to twist the Word or enter into doctrines that redefine God as if He changed from the Old to New Testament. If God commanded to wipe out a wicked people, and not mix with them, then what we see today is clearly the result of them disobeying what God told them, and the Bible clearly explains that.
'“Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his ANGELS: (Matthew 25:41, NKJV)
@@keith3362 there you go thinking angels mean some kind of spiritual creatures, Let's look at the strong's. I know the strongs are not the best but it's easy to find stuff from the strongs.s. let's see what the angels could be. strong's 32: From aggello; a messenger; especially an 'angel'; by implication, a pastor. angel most of the time means a son of God or a servant messenger of God not an angel with wings, but a spirit being. I said a lot of times. not every time. Therefore this could and does mean a messenger, not spirit beings . prepared for the devil and his ANGELS: How would you consider a message of satan. A being that gives demonic-influenced messages. Right? If that is true then who is giving demonic messages today? Clue abortionists sacrificing babies to demons. How about Democrats perverting children into sexual deviates for grown men and women to play with. democrats, how about the message from the one world socialist order . ? These are all Satan's messengers. Look at it this way satan can not create right? If that is true and we know it is then satan can not create demons. But he perverts God's word and counterfeits it by twisting the word, nowhere in the bible does it say demons are created beings. everything God created is in Gennisess. What dont we see that was created in 6 days? demons angels. I believe in the present truth that they are there its Just hidden. what I believe is Man (Adam) Eve the Serpent or satan he was a beast of the field a murderer liar from the beginning. Nowhere in the bible all 66 books does it say satan wanted to be a God, How did the serpent ( the one God created as the most wisest of all the beasts of the field) this is when God created satan as one of the beasts of the field, in his beginning. So Who are angels like I said not there is they are spirit beings. Show me where angels were created anywhere in God's word,?. You can not, but I can show you everything God created in the 6s days of creation. Adam Was a son of God. we are to be sons of Gad the scriptures we can call God Abba Father. The men that is the mature sons are the sons of God . That is not every Christian just like a believer is not a disciple but they can be a disciple, not a saint but a saint can be a son of God. Or is a son am not sure. Paul says to the children I write to you to the sons i write to you but to the fathers I also write to them too. These are all grown-up people. in another scripture, he says you should be teachers but you're still on the milk. of the word . meaning children on mommy's milk. he also says to some to drink of the sincere milk of the word meaning we do not throw out any of God's word. What I am sharing is bread, not milk but it's not meat either. I can share the meat of God's word here. This has already choked them that are not called to the sonship realm the 100-fold ream. Let's go back to angels. Sons of God are the messengers of God the demons are messengers of satan. . When we all die and we all will die one way or the other. we will be messengers of God in the spiritual realm or messengers of satan in the spiritual realm.. So whom will we serve now or later God said we are nothing but a beast of the field like satan their father, without God We will end up with who we serve in this life or the next? Those that chose satan God will turn the mover to a reprobate mind. Meaning they will no longer have the restrainer on them to stop them from manifesting all the evil God stops us from doing in this life. So I explained the present truth that I understand I left a lot up in the air. but I do have answers to any argument people can come up with i just dont want to text any more its too long now.
This is sick 🤢.why would you entertain this idea? Comparing killing innocent Palestinian children to what the Ancient people of Ysrael were commanded to do as a judgment from the Creator is completely absurd
The Canaanites had Nephilim blood, the spawn of the watchers, they had to be utterly wiped out. It's very simple they weren't fully human. Read Genesis 6.
...but it may be what the Bible teaches us. Came back to add this because I figured it would get challenged. Genesis 6:1-4 almost comes right out and says that, depending who the "Sons of God" were. That is that Michael Heiser (and others) thing Dr. Brown mentioned.
For Certain. During the ten plagues of Egypt, the magicians of Egypt were able to mimic the miracles up until life was created out of dust: plague number three - when Aaron smote his staff upon the dust of the earth, lice formed upon all the earth and upon man and beast. When the magicians attempted this, they were unable to produce life. For this, they said: This is the finger of YHWH!
In egypt here, alot of children are being demonic i know a 14 year old kid in a neighborhood that stabbed his friend in his neck with a knife for a spliff of weed, i kinda get it, that back then if they where truly demonic and there consciousness of love not developed they could be 1000× worst than what I'm witnessing in here
@@JimSkees1955 The sons of God were those who served God. The very same Hebrew word for sons in Genesis 6:2 is also translated as children in Deuteronomy 14:1 where Moses told the Israelites that they were the children of the LORD their God. There's no way God would allow a group of creatures to be born part demon and part human who would be doomed from conception without any chance of salvation. God doesn't work that way. That's not what the Bible teaches. We are told not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. The Israelites were warned about mixing with the wicked. We are warned over and over throughout the Bible what is the usual consequences of God's people mixing with the world.
I’m with the Jews but the Passover is literally about God slaughtering children-haha it’s awesome. Check out metallicas song “creeping death” that’s what it’s about
God has power over everything including your life. God who gives life, is God who can take it. I don't know why are you laughing about it. If Egyptian mourned because of the death of their first born, how much more God feel about Israelite that were enslaved. God feel our suffering, either you believe in Him or Not. Here is for you, God is sad to see your life too. God wants to save you. But if you refuse to repent and reject Him, then you will also face the judgement. Are you gonna say that when you face the judgement is unfair? Yet you have been given a chance to repent, so make use of the time you have. Do you think God really want to see people die in vain? In suffering? Why people complain when God conduct the judgment, but refuse to listen when God gives the warning? We can't fully understand the mind of God. But I believe that God is in control. If God gives life, then God can also take it. So make use of the life God has given you.
This part of the Old Testament was the hardest part of the Bible for me to accept when I first came to Christ over 40 years ago.

Then compare that to the demoniac that Jesus encountered at Garasene. That legion of demons begged Jesus to send them into the nearby herd of pigs so that they could avoid having to go back into the abyss. Why? Maybe because those demons could not stay in this world or dimension if they did not inhabit a physical body? If that is the case, then the reason returning Israel was to destroy every living thing was to eliminate demonic activity in the Promised Land. Simple as that.
And Psalm 106 describes the end result of that failure.
I just take the Bible for what it says. God may explain to me this and all the other questions I have some day in eternity, or He may not. His ways are higher than mine, and I am good with that. I just trust in Jesus.
Yep, the Bible is a brutal book. At least you accept this. Too many apologists tie themselves into knots trying to defend problematic passages.
I did a little bible study/reading/examination on Mark 5, the demoniac about 3 years ago. I'd love to know your thoughts on it if you feel interested in checking it out.
Now, for this passage in scripture that Dr. Brown is handling, yeah its a tough one, but God didn't hide it from us.
Bro,you can't take the Bible for what it say..Because than literal lamb saved you..and many symbolic meaning you need to take for granted..
The whole Scripture is to show you something..And 1st thing is that man didn't know God. They all believed that there is higher power,but they mind's made images of God that they than have worshiped..
And man,because of his fallen state portrait God that want to be obeyed,or he would not give rain,or bring some catastrophe, if they don't do..
They in fact made God in their own image..
While True God didn't even commanded burnt offerings or sacrifices,but jews saw from others,and thought,well we need to do it also..
And if you just think about it,you have others ,like Mayan,Inca,they had no knowledge of other civilisations,they did it also..
Same today...Man believe again that God will burn people in hell...Same as those before. Even after He came and show who torture,kill,and who rise to life..They again believe in baal,not God of the Bible..Christians my man...Do you really think if you worship someone who will burn his children is Jesus Christ?
God of the Bible made peace with man,they still believe in religious manipulation
God made peace by cross...Cross will never be removed,so peace will never end... people just blaspheme God,and are enemies of the cross..
Isa 54:10
For the mountains shall depart
And the hills be removed,
But My kindness shall not depart from you,
NOR SHALL My covenant of peace BE REMOVED,”
Says the LORD, who has mercy on you.
What happened in Isaiah 53 that cause peace to come?
Col 1:20
and by Him TO RECONCILE ALL things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
God has freewill to think & do good or evil ... but .... God chose to be Holy ... forever & ever.
There is only God ... and God does not procreate God.
But God decided He wanted to become a Father of actual Children ( flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood) ... and so ..... the Angel of God created Heaven, Hell, Universe & Earth, billions of Angels and Adam & Eve ... with a body & soul ... and freewill ... to go forth & MULTIPLY ... and live with God forever.
Are you starting to see how God .... will become an actual Father of Children ( with the same flesh & blood)?
The Angel of God .... knew it would take 7 x 1000 years ... to save the Children of God ... from the Children of Man (Adam) ... and ... God remaking Hiim ... the first Child of God ... with a body & soul ... becoming the Son of God.
When you accept Jesus as Lord & Savior ... your sins are forgiven ... and you give God (FAther, Spirit) permission ... to remake you ... and Child of God ( Jesus) ... as they remade the Angel of God ... into the Son of God.
Only God creates Life, and He gave Mankind the ability to procreate God's Children.
And the Angels in Heaven ... do not marry or have sex .. and definitely can not make life.
There is marriage or sex in Heaven as everybody will be Holy just like God.
God's Children ... will come from Mankind procreating over 7 x 1000 years.
And the current year is 5994. Jesus returns in 6 years time ... to rule over sinful Mankind for the last 1000 years.
The Sons of God are simply Angels & Men. And only Men would marry and procreate with woman. Demons would rape, Men, woman & children .. not want to get married and raise a family. lol.
The Children of God ... call the Son of God ... my Father & God.
The Son of God ... who was originally the Angel of God ... calls God ... my Father & God.
This is how God became an actual Father of Children ( flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood).
@abelincoln8885
Nope!
Jesus is God incarnated,not a angel. God manifested in flesh
Thank you for reposting these answers! Very hard topics for sure but it is wonderful for our trusted teachers to biblically take them on and share their knowledge.
Good word. I'm glad you addressed this.
We are operating in the here and now under the New and everlasting covenant given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Amelek reference is from Old Covenant time. The New Testament clearly tells us that the Old Covenant was the ministration of death. The New Covenant is the ministration of life and peace.
No he did not. Neither did Israel 🇮🇱. The Terrorists put them in harms way.
❤I truly appreciate your honesty and sober understanding of the Scriptures... I would like to share my honest 'opinion' about '''a possibility''' of our existence,, with the intent of expanding your understanding of what may be so.... I came to realize at some point, not to long ago,,, that it is impossible for myself to understand or know how 'Intelligent', God the Almighty Creator and Sustainer of everything Is... It was then that I realized that God being the Knower of all,, of both past and 'future',,, that I began to connect the dots of 'possibility'... First one would have to believe that He has a plan... Secondly one could then speculate a 'possible' objective... My speculation is God's Loving and '''Just''' Nature,,, has been 'challenged' by the prideful 'angelic being(s),, within the safeguard of 'taking for granted ' the loving nature of God,,, and possibly the Justice of capability to bring an '''end''' to such a '''being'''... Thirdly,,, I could only conclude that Eve's deception in the garden of eden,,, played right into God's Plan,,, in 'Allowing' everything to be 'Intelligently' and predictably carried out, until the 'Objective' is complete,,, and Justice can then ''Be'''.…..... Now I hesitate to share this view with anyone,, as I am still in personal, spiritual and mental warfare with the 'adversary',,, and cannot know wether my thoughts are for good, or not so good results with 'sharing' them... In the name of Jesus Christ our True Lord and Savior, may anyone who may read this realize it only to be human thought, and not from Scripture,, where the real Truth can be found, Amen?,,, Amen, amen...❤
Psalms 137:9 KJV
[9]Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
Isaiah 13:1,16
[1]The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
[16]Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
Psalms 137:9 Was prophesying about how the enemies of Babylon would do unto them.
I think I remember that I recently heard (since Oct 7) that Flavius Josephus wrote that the Edomites gathered on the Mount of Olives while the Romans were destroying Jerusalem in 70 AD chanting "Dash the heads of their children on the stones" or something to that effect.
@@JimSkees1955 correct. In the time of Nebuchadnezzar II the Edomites may have helped plunder Jerusalem and slaughter the Judaeans in 587 or 586 BCE (Psalms 137:7; Obadiah 1:11-14).
Edom is the final enemy against Israel, and edomites rule the world today. They are also pretending to be jews because history clearly states they have assimilated into jews. so now jews are the scapegoat even tho they are the biggest enemy of the elites
Thank you for this thorough, articulate look at this subject. Jesus said the last days would be like the days of Noah; from when I started discussing this sort of thing with other believers, things have got 'Progressively' crazier.
I appreciate the gangrenous analogy, makes me think of Isaiah 1 and 53. Israel and the nations have their sicknesses diagnosed, then the Great Physician is revealed.
Ive never heard criticism of god for destroying every living being except fish with the flood
We appreciate you Dr Brown for rightly dividing the word. Thank You & 💙 May God Bless You
It simple. A soul that sins die. But God doesnt want anyone to die , he nudges them towards repentance. Heck ! He sent Jonah to Nineveh for them to repent. But if you refuse, you will surely die. You cant eat your cake and have it. God is not to be mocked.
The Psalm 145 verse was a good one to have read, saying He’s good to ALL. Most of the others were about and to the Jews so they don’t create as full of a backdrop for a discussion about God’s commandments to kill people of other nations.
To sum all this up, the speaker here comes to the conclusion of a Star Trek 2: The Wrath Of Khan quote.
"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few..or the one."
God decides when war is to happen
absolutely it would make sense, especially considering God is perfectly just.
If one accepts scriptural writings are inspired by God, is it the psalmists words or God’s?
1 Samuel 15
Saul Defeats the Amalekites
1One day Samuel said to Saul, “It was the LORD who told me to anoint you as king of his people, Israel. Now listen to this message from the LORD! 2This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies has declared: I have decided to settle accounts with the nation of Amalek for opposing Israel when they came from Egypt. 3Now go and completely destroya the entire Amalekite nation-men, women, children, babies, cattle, sheep, goats, camels, and donkeys.”
4So Saul mobilized his army at Telaim. There were 200,000 soldiers from Israel and 10,000 men from Judah. 5Then Saul and his army went to a town of the Amalekites and lay in wait in the valley. 6Saul sent this warning to the Kenites: “Move away from where the Amalekites live, or you will die with them. For you showed kindness to all the people of Israel when they came up from Egypt.” So the Kenites packed up and left.
7Then Saul slaughtered the Amalekites from Havilah all the way to Shur, east of Egypt. 8He captured Agag, the Amalekite king, but completely destroyed everyone else. 9Saul and his men spared Agag’s life and kept the best of the sheep and goats, the cattle, the fat calves, and the lambs-everything, in fact, that appealed to them. They destroyed only what was worthless or of poor quality
I always liked Hosea 13:16, Deuteronomy 3:34, Isaiah 13:15-18, and Joshua 10:40. Fun stuff.
whats funny about them?
Hate to break it to you but….
The thing that will cause you to understand this is not yet alive in you.
God’s Spirit!
Take me for instance.
I believe! Therefore it makes perfect sense for God to say this.
The name of God’s game was to protect the line that the future proclaimed messiah came through.
So the enemy of the Hebrew was the enemy of the messiah.
God knows what He’s doing.
There are enemy kings that knew the deliverer was coming and sent out a decree to get every male child 2 and under.
In the old and new testament.
Why?
Study that and you’ll understand why God takes these kinds of actions.
Amen. That is indeed the truth of the matter.
Yes, He did.
Sometimes it’s wisdom to says I don’t understand this portion of scripture. Even if one is a Hebrew scholar. You seem to suggest the Psalms were sometimes written in the persons own hand suggesting their feels are coming through. That would make those Psalms man’s word and not God’s. Holy men if God spake as their were move by the Holy Spirit. If one changes one part if scripture one has to think what else is he changing. Somethings will only be understood when we are in His Holy presence.
zechariah 2:8
Contemporary English Version
Then the glorious LORD All-Powerful ordered me to say to the nations that had raided and robbed Zion: Zion is as precious to the LORD as are his eyes. Whatever you do to Zion, you do to him.
New International Version
For this is what the LORD Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you-for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye
New Living Translation
After a period of glory, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies sent me against the nations who plundered you. For he said, “Anyone who harms you harms my most precious possession.
Here is the LORD commanding Saul regarding the Amalekites:
1 Samuel also said unto Saul, The Lord sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the Lord.
2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
-1 SAMUEL 15:1-3
Saul disobeyed the LORD by not carrying out the full wrath of God. This displeased the LORD:
9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
10 Then came the word of the Lord unto Samuel, saying,
11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the Lord all night.
-1 SAMUEL 15:9-11
Later on, Samuel carried out the will of God by killing Agag in front of the LORD:
32 Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
33 And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
-1 SAMUEL 15:32-33
When the LORD directs His people to kill anyone and everyone of a certain tribe or whatever, the people of God need to obey utterly what God commands. Unlike men, God has access to everyone’s thoughts and motives, so God has perfect judgment. While the LORD bestows His love upon thousands of generations, He executes His wrath upon the guilty to the third and fourth generation:
“Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.”
-EXODUS 34:7
During the tribulation period, God will open up the place where His weapons are stored and says to utterly destroy those in Babylon (see JER 50:25-26). Remember Saul's disobedience! Jesus spoke a parable that occurs during the tribulation period when He said to bring before Him someone who didn’t want Jesus as their King and slay that person in the presence of Jesus (see LUKE 19:27). During the tribulation period, the bodies will be piled up in the streets so much so that people will stumble over them (see NAHUM 3:3).
Like it or not, God is a God of love, but He is also a God of wrath. His love is the fiercest love and His wrath is the fiercest wrath. The modern so-called church is totally unprepared for what's coming down the pike. But ready or not, here comes the end of the age. Without apology, the LORD will execute all that He has planned:
13 The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.
14 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.
15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
-Isaiah 42
Too long!
@@ReneDiazJD Then don't read it!
@@ReneDiazJDIt helped me. Shalom
Are you saying that when someone murders they should remain alive and a tax burden?
The old testament was all about reaping and sowing. The old testament prophets were covenant keepers.
So if they were told to do this, it was restitution. God is not mocked.
If Saul of Tarsus was happy by persecuting Christians as he did, he didn't stay happy about it. No matter the excuse given, no child of God should take comfort in such rationale. Even kids today call a rationale to sin, a cope. It always takes coping to sin.
Dr Brown, wasn’t the Psalmist inspired by God?
You missed the point, and I don’t think you watched the whole video. Watch it again!
@@ReneDiazJD As in your opinion I “missed the point”, what is the point? If the words that come out of your mouth is not the point, what is?
Was Jonah .... inspired by God ... or an imperfect Human Being who hated the People of Ninevah?
God created Mankind ... with freewill ... to think & do good or evil ... and ... to follow & obey God (Father, Son, Spirit) or Man.
And God knew before He created Adam & Eve ... every thought & action ... of every Human Being ... over the next 7 x 1000 years .... which is why God had a 6 day creation and the 7th Day belongs to HIm.
The punishment for sin is death (body & soul). You sin, you must die (body & soul).
Adam & Eve were created perfect ... with freewill ... to procreate Mankind live forever with God ... but if they sin ( break God's law) then they and Mankind will die (body & soul). They freely chose to sin, knowing God is real and the punishment is death .... and they gave all of their descendants corrupted bodies & souls ... where everybody will freely sin ... and must die (body & soul).
But God from the very beginning ... has only wanted Man ... to follow & obey God (Father, Son & Spirit) ... fight your evil nature and do good not evil .... and if you have the faith of Abraham .... you sins will be forgiven through the Messiah (God's only Son) ... and you will be remade perfect just like Adam & Eve ... but this time you will be given a Holy natue ... just like God (Jesus).
@@horridhenry9920 The point is that you must be an atheist.
HE DID IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
And Samuel said to Saul, “The Lord sent me to anoint you king over his people Israel; now therefore listen to the words of the Lord. Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘I have noted what Amalek did to Israel in opposing them on the way when they came up out of Egypt. Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’ (1 Samuel 15:1-3 ESV)
JEWS USE THE OLD TESTAMENT AS THEIR GUIDE.
No, they don't.
Michael Brown lost me with the half-breed talk.
You took a couple examples and then excused them off as a matter of interpretation and hyperbolic language.
There are so many more examples and to excuse them all as such is removing the obvious and plain truth right there in plain sight.
A bit disappointing.
If we can't trust the Word as accurate without having to change all its meaning, it doesn't do much for the confidence and Faith we have in the Word of God.
If the Word offends people, it's not God's fault and He doesn't need anyone to rewrite His Word .
The Goodness of God is not subject to our humanistic and quite selfish understanding of what is good, and that's the main issue here.
We want to think that God thinks and believes like us when we still hold on to so many selfish mindsets.
Good, bad, right, wrong, positive, negative. This is all subjective to one's own understanding and when we feel uncomfortable with God's righteousness not meeting our own selfish definition of edification, we have to twist the Word or enter into doctrines that redefine God as if He changed from the Old to New Testament.
If God commanded to wipe out a wicked people, and not mix with them, then what we see today is clearly the result of them disobeying what God told them, and the Bible clearly explains that.
no such thing as fallen angels
'“Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his ANGELS: (Matthew 25:41, NKJV)
What an atheist would say.
@@keith3362 there you go thinking angels mean some kind of spiritual creatures, Let's look at the strong's. I know the strongs are not the best but it's easy to find stuff from the strongs.s. let's see what the angels could be.
strong's 32: From aggello; a messenger; especially an 'angel'; by implication, a pastor.
angel most of the time means a son of God or a servant messenger of God not an angel with wings, but a spirit being. I said a lot of times. not every time. Therefore this could and does mean a messenger, not spirit beings
. prepared for the devil and his ANGELS: How would you consider a message of satan. A being that gives demonic-influenced messages. Right? If that is true then who is giving demonic messages today? Clue abortionists sacrificing babies to demons. How about Democrats perverting children into sexual deviates for grown men and women to play with. democrats, how about the message from the one world socialist order . ? These are all Satan's messengers. Look at it this way satan can not create right? If that is true and we know it is then satan can not create demons. But he perverts God's word and counterfeits it by twisting the word, nowhere in the bible does it say demons are created beings. everything God created is in Gennisess. What dont we see that was created in 6 days? demons angels. I believe in the present truth that they are there its Just hidden. what I believe is Man (Adam) Eve the Serpent or satan he was a beast of the field a murderer liar from the beginning. Nowhere in the bible all 66 books does it say satan wanted to be a God, How did the serpent ( the one God created as the most wisest of all the beasts of the field) this is when God created satan as one of the beasts of the field, in his beginning. So Who are angels like I said not there is they are spirit beings. Show me where angels were created anywhere in God's word,?. You can not, but I can show you everything God created in the 6s days of creation. Adam Was a son of God. we are to be sons of Gad the scriptures we can call God Abba Father. The men that is the mature sons are the sons of God . That is not every Christian just like a believer is not a disciple but they can be a disciple, not a saint but a saint can be a son of God. Or is a son am not sure. Paul says to the children I write to you to the sons i write to you but to the fathers I also write to them too. These are all grown-up people. in another scripture, he says you should be teachers but you're still on the milk. of the word . meaning children on mommy's milk. he also says to some to drink of the sincere milk of the word meaning we do not throw out any of God's word. What I am sharing is bread, not milk but it's not meat either. I can share the meat of God's word here. This has already choked them that are not called to the sonship realm the 100-fold ream. Let's go back to angels. Sons of God are the messengers of God the demons are messengers of satan. . When we all die and we all will die one way or the other. we will be messengers of God in the spiritual realm or messengers of satan in the spiritual realm.. So whom will we serve now or later God said we are nothing but a beast of the field like satan their father, without God We will end up with who we serve in this life or the next? Those that chose satan God will turn the mover to a reprobate mind. Meaning they will no longer have the restrainer on them to stop them from manifesting all the evil God stops us from doing in this life. So I explained the present truth that I understand I left a lot up in the air. but I do have answers to any argument people can come up with i just dont want to text any more its too long now.
@@tomceman4451 yes! I agree that most of the people that believe Paul is a false apostle, are not christens.
@@tomceman4451 I keep seeing this statement " What an atheist would say"
so what does that even mean?
This is sick 🤢.why would you entertain this idea? Comparing killing innocent Palestinian children to what the Ancient people of Ysrael were commanded to do as a judgment from the Creator is completely absurd
Genesis 12.3.
What an atheist would say.
@@tomceman4451 I’m not an atheist. I’m a Hebrew Scholar who understands the Torah of the Living Elohim.
The Canaanites had Nephilim blood, the spawn of the watchers, they had to be utterly wiped out. It's very simple they weren't fully human. Read Genesis 6.
There's no way that anyone was ever born half human and half demon. That is one of the most foolish teachings ever.
...but it may be what the Bible teaches us.
Came back to add this because I figured it would get challenged. Genesis 6:1-4 almost comes right out and says that, depending who the "Sons of God" were. That is that Michael Heiser (and others) thing Dr. Brown mentioned.
For Certain. During the ten plagues of Egypt, the magicians of Egypt were able to mimic the miracles up until life was created out of dust: plague number three - when Aaron smote his staff upon the dust of the earth, lice formed upon all the earth and upon man and beast. When the magicians attempted this, they were unable to produce life. For this, they said: This is the finger of YHWH!
In egypt here, alot of children are being demonic i know a 14 year old kid in a neighborhood that stabbed his friend in his neck with a knife for a spliff of weed, i kinda get it, that back then if they where truly demonic and there consciousness of love not developed they could be 1000× worst than what I'm witnessing in here
@@JimSkees1955 The sons of God were those who served God. The very same Hebrew word for sons in Genesis 6:2 is also translated as children in Deuteronomy 14:1 where Moses told the Israelites that they were the children of the LORD their God.
There's no way God would allow a group of creatures to be born part demon and part human who would be doomed from conception without any chance of salvation. God doesn't work that way. That's not what the Bible teaches. We are told not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. The Israelites were warned about mixing with the wicked. We are warned over and over throughout the Bible what is the usual consequences of God's people mixing with the world.
@@bobbyadkins6983 so what does Genesis 6:4 say in your bible?
I’m with the Jews but the Passover is literally about God slaughtering children-haha it’s awesome. Check out metallicas song “creeping death” that’s what it’s about
God has power over everything including your life.
God who gives life, is God who can take it.
I don't know why are you laughing about it.
If Egyptian mourned because of the death of their first born, how much more God feel about Israelite that were enslaved.
God feel our suffering, either you believe in Him or Not.
Here is for you, God is sad to see your life too. God wants to save you.
But if you refuse to repent and reject Him, then you will also face the judgement.
Are you gonna say that when you face the judgement is unfair? Yet you have been given a chance to repent, so make use of the time you have.
Do you think God really want to see people die in vain? In suffering?
Why people complain when God conduct the judgment, but refuse to listen when God gives the warning?
We can't fully understand the mind of God. But I believe that God is in control.
If God gives life, then God can also take it.
So make use of the life God has given you.
