but sir, speaking about the economic situation in the Solomon Islands, most natives prefer a simple life and some don't know how to use their resources, and there are a lot of Solomon Islanders who also benefited from the exploitation of their resources and got rich in Honiara.

Reminds me of one of the channels from my country that used to discuss this from 2/3 years ago. And I only think in this form of conclusion that 'The Land of Ophir' is the most reasonable, indeed originating from SEA (for countries it is still a hypothesis) because even King Solomon has visited any country (other than his place of origin) including SEA 🤔. But thx for your information
Timothy Jay Schwab of the God Culture makes the most compelling case for Ophir using scripture, geology, biology, language, and history as being in the Philippines. The God Culture goes much deeper than anything touched on herein.

Hi Kirby! Interesting that you're covering this. I've been following God Culture channel who has covered this extensively with so much historical materials that go all the way back to the Scriptures. Really like your channel. Keep up the great work and research!
That is the true Philippine is ophir in the bible and will discribe ophir is a Philippine and never to denie this story of the bible and you can see the bible that ophir will discribe the Philippines.......
You mentioned Solomon Island, but there is an Island North of Solomon Islands used be called North Solomon Province now Autonomous Region of Bougainville, indigenous people defend heavily on the gold for income. The gold is found all through out the Island and there are some historical caves that people say King Solomon used to get treasures from. The Island is part of Papua New Guinea.
Better watch The God Culture Solomon's gold series videos, they based it on the scriptures, not regular books written about Solomon island. which is the wrong location. Ophir has brothers Sheba, Havilah.

No just no, being known as something outside the island's is good, especially the fact that our island's were once somewhat wealthy in gold. But Filipinos making petition's to make Opher the new name for the country is kinda to much, especially when fully knowing the fact, that our people were screwed by Catholism and Colonialism in the first place. Ignorance and pride is honestly our people's worst flaw.
As a Disbeliever, I have seen comments who says that the Philippines is the Land of Ophir, which I disagree what they take, people must be Critical what the Catholic Spaniards would say, we must have more Evidence to prove it. I have seen a Comment that Baybayin came from The Hebrew language which I disagree with the take here. The writing system of both langauges is not the same
And the Jews in Yisrael are not Hebrews. The language they speak is Yiddish not Hebrew as they call Modern Hebrew. They serve Hashem not ABBA YHUH our creator. They worship a demon/s. The languages have evolved throughout the many centuries...up to the thousands of years. But the landmarks of Philippines will forever hold the Hebrew names given by our Hebrew ancestors. Spaniards attempted to change them....but these landmarks are dedicated to ABBA. They failed. YHUH Bless.
@@TruthBeToldTruthSeekers And about the claims that the "Philippines will forever hold Hebrew Names and Spaniards changed it" where did you get this Claim?, And I Doubt the Hebrews will Take a Step in the Philippines due to Lack or Limit of Technology and also Geographical Differences before the Spaniards

Strong to Endure Our Strength is in Loyalty (Motto of the 26th Cavalry Regiment (PS), Fort Stotsenburg, Pampanga, PI, WWII in the Philippines). Scouts Out. AATW RLTW God Bless.
Don't be fooled. Ophir is not the Philippines, nor is it Saudi. It's India (and possibly Sri Lanka). Where else would Gold, Ivory, and peacocks come from??? Ham and Cush are Africa. Midian is Saudi. And why would Solomon send SHIPS to go to either of those places when you can simply go by land.(?) You need to read the Bible and use common sense.
Our Ancestral Land is found in Mindanao Philippines We are called Lupang Hinirang or the Promised Kingdom Let's go back to Genesis chapter 2 Back to the Old Back to Eden
@Elnora that has nothing to do with ancestral that has to do with when Jakton and his 13 sons went back to Garden of Eden. Check on Solomon gold series by Godculture
@Elona . I am not part his group whatsoever but his research about Philippine being Ophir and garden of Eden I agree with. again I do know a lot and can tell you on behalf of my mentor who is Filipino that I do know a lot
Apparently, the olden Europeans were so convinced that there's something in the Peninsula Malaysia that they colonized us thrice (Portuguese, Dutch, and British) for Gold, Gospel and Glory and named Gunung Ledang in Johor as Ophir. Ptolemy named the Peninsula as the Golden Chersonese, and in Sanskrit, it's Svarnabhumi, meaning Land of Gold.
Kirby there was another YT channel that extensively discussed Ophir through Biblical stories. That's where I first heard about it. Interesting but sometimes its a bit of a stretch.
Yup. Super stretched! Kirby's video is definitely more accurate (based on proven facts and strong evidence) and probably the best video out there about Ophir.
There is a mountain on the island of Malaita Province, Solomon Islands (Southwest Pacific) call Ophir (pronounced locally as OFI). From oral history and traditions, some people claimed that their first founding ancestors came all the way from Israel and reached that mountain top. From there they intermarriage with other Melanesian people who were already there. Currently at present, that place is kept as sacred and taboo. I hope proper archaeological and anthropological will confirm if such oral histories are true or not.

@@bluegray8428 love to discuss it further with you but I'm impatient in typing 😅.

From archeological standpoint, it's very unlikely. That's why I want to hear Kirby's side on this as cult forming conspiracy groups spread rumors on this.

Apparently, there is no archaeological evidence that Solomon existed at all, let alone Ophir. And even if Ophir actually existed, it could not possibly be the Philippines because peacocks are endemic to South Asia and not to Southeast Asia.
Kung TALAGANG TOTOONG ang PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 ang tinutukoy na " the Lang of Ophir '' sa panahon ni king Solomon for many years, eh Di Sana may nakita o nahukay na anything archaeological artifacts that can be traced to the Israelites or Jewish origin dahil Kung TOTOO Yang theory nila SIGURADO Naman na may exchange of trade between prehistoric Filipinos and Israelites? But up until now wala naman atang nahahanap na tulad Ng Ganun dito sa PILIPINAS.
Limited lang kasi technology ng panahong iyon para makarating ng Pilipinas ang mga Hebrews/Jews O ano pa man tawagan nila noon. Ika nga sabi nga ni Gadon, MGA BOBO!
May nakuhang buto ng tao sa luzon na kagaya ng mga taong inutusan ni King Solomon para kunuha ng gold sa ophir at nasa book din yan ni pigafetta na nakita nila ang tao ni King Solomon sa luzon .
naalala ko, may nagkwento saakin na isa sa mga engineer na nagdevelop ng Nuvali sa Sta. Rosa, Laguna. noong nagstart sila ng development, may mga malalaking prehistoric ancient artifacts silang natagpuan. unfortunately, di nireports sa media. for sure, nakatago na yong mga artifacts or napagkakitaan na... along the process, naitago na rin ang history kasama noon..
Hindi conclusive na kapagka may archaelogical evidence ay yun na. But archaelogical evidence ay isa lang sa mga makakatulong na makapag connect. Marami pang ibang evidences aside from archaelogical.

It is interesting that the stories of the Arabian Nights are about the East Indies. Ancient Middle Easterners talked about Eden being in this area. From ancient times, our lands were considered mysterious and fantastical. Ancient Egyptians also talked about Punt, islands of the East.
So much ignorance and religious brainwash in the comments. Ophir was an ancient port in Arabia, not in the Philippines. And Punt was in Eastern Africa on the coast towards the Red Sea!
@@kilipaki87oritahiti Of course if you read the story about Punt in Ancient Egypt, they talk about islands. I think it would be a little funny to think that Egyptians would consider their next door neighbor as mysterious. They weren’t that out of touch with their surroundings.
kilipaki87oritahiti Sir Magreserch ka kc para alam mo ang sarili mong kasaysayan na binura ng mga dayohang kastila na ang tunay na ancient name of the Philippines is Ophir and the Garden of Eden that is in the Bible Isle of the East, The Holy land of Yahuah God
I came from a land where it's called orphir there are many precious stones, and Hebrew writing and that place was so holy that you can't go up to that place, you can find precious stones along the streams that where king solomon collect stones for the temple
Just saying you came from a place then saying it has Precious stones And Hebrew writings and saying you can find precious stones anong the streams and then to have a caveat that its so holy and that you (us) cant go to that place and have King Solomon collect stones himself is just unverified information that a person heard or belief from someone based on assumptions, hearsay, speculations, rumors, gossip and then justifying it that the place is so holy, not Holy but “So Holy” therefore no one (someone) or anybody cant go is so kibosh and laughable, Why? Because what makes precious stones so holy? Does the bible say that Ophir or its natural resources of precious stones was a holy place or holy ?
Ophir is more likely to be Sri Lanka and the Indian Subcontinent or present-day Southeast Asia because of the hints like the resources listed in the Bible which happens to be abundantly present in these regions. it's unlikely that we could accurately pinpoint where the land really is because the geographical name "Ophir" is only found in ancient Hebrew and Aramaic perspectives, but the Philippines isn't Ophir.
Sorry but you are wrong.🤨 The Philippines IS Ophir !!!. WATCH the You Tube channel: The Gods Culture for EXTENSIVE evidence of this! Shalom. I'm moving to Cebu next year to retire there! From Florida 😁 to Talisay, Cebu. Can't wait to be there!✈️😉❤️🌍😍🥳🤗
Land of Ophir is not yet identified which specific country In this modern world that best fits the description.No one really knows where the Land of Ophir is located and situated.Based on the archaeological facts & evidences as a proof that the Philippines is said to be the ancient Ophir.But more proofs are needed to convince that the Philippines is really the land of Ophir because some other countries like India and parts of Africa are claiming that they were the land of Ophir.However, a traveller named Ferdinand Magellan strongly agreed that land of Ophir is the Philippines because he found few artifacts that could supported his stand.If ever the Philippines is the land of Ophir so be it and give honor,glory & praise to the Almighty.

Lodi do we have castles during the era of our early kingdoms like those found in China, Japan, India or Indonesia? What does our architectural design look like back then?
In malacca i think there is a city wall who used to defense against the invader from the sea because that time kingdom in south easth asia is interconnected so malacca is represent as the capital of that time
We didnt have formal stone structures before the colonial period like the ones we see in Java, Bali, and Japan. Most major strucrures and kotas (forts) were made of wood and pallisades kaya hindi nagtagal. This is the same case for the islands of Borneo and Sulawesi. There are remnants of stone forts sa Batanes though i forgot the name.
I found the remains of the old kingdom in the philippines.. the walls are very much intact..but covered with tall trees and climbers.. would be nice to know if it is part of ophir.. or the old kingdom that now gone..
As you said and tagged by a well known name as the biblical land of Ophir. Numerous conjectures and theories but the last thing they consult is the Bible, that is why it is called the biblical Ophir. God Culture’s YOU Tube has a sensible interpretation of where the biblical Ophir is located then and now through Bible passages.
Aurea Chersonesus ang ipinalit na pangalan ni Ptolemy sa Ophir ayon kay Josephus na jews historian noong panahon ni emperor Titus na lumusob sa jerusalem noong 70 AD. Sa ngayon ang Aurea Chersonesus ay tinatawag na Malaya peninsula o Malaysia.
pero hindi nmn sakto sa lokasyong ang malaysi s nabangit sa bible nbasa ko na po angtungkol sa malayan peninsula napakontrobisyal po niya at wla rin silang mga basihan o mga dokumentong magpapatunay na malaysia ang saktong tinutukoy sa lokasyon ng ophir

King Solomon received a shipment from Ophir every three years (1 Kings 10:22) which consisted of gold, silver, sandalwood, pearls, ivory, apes, and peacocks. It's definitely not Ethiopia or India or Sri Lanka. In the ancient times, it won't take 3 years to sail to these places from the Gulf of Aqaba, so definitely it's the "Isles" which is the Philippines Islands that is mentioned in Psalms 72:10 which Tarshish and Sheba are mentioned. "The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts."
So why were the Spaniards flocking to South America instead of the Philippines. Why did the American-controlled Banana Republic happen in Central America, if the Philippine soil was that rich and fertile?
Curious..How did ancient greek and ancient maps pointed out the Malay Peninsular as a "Golden Chersonese"...even ancient hindu-buddha book like Ramayana already stated that Malay Peninsular is the "Suvarnabhumi"...care to explain..?

@@lariscea Ophir is not a Filipino name for gold.. Ophir is a biblical name which is one of the son of Joktan in Genesis. Genesis 10:29 Ophir, Havilah and Jobab. All these were sons of Joktan. Ophir has a brother named Havilah.. An entire land of gold is named after Havilah. Genesis 2:11 11The name of the first river is Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.… IT WAS HAVILAH WHO OWNED AN ENTIRE LAND FULL OF GOLD NOT OPHIR
@@9999rosebud there's a shekel of gold from ophir which was dug years ago so we know that there's really an ophir. just watch the God culture and review their research about this. they way more scholarly about this topic than you. 2nd, the philippine's pre colonial past was erased and we don't know why so we cannot discount that havilah may be inside ophir.
I heavily doubt it the Ophir theory , the only religious aspect why did Mt.Marks insist to be interned inside the tomb of Alexander the Great . When Muslim Uyamed came to Alexandria , the Venetian took out every content inside the tomb including ancient parchment thought to be religious artifacts of St.Marks which were transferred to Venice,but a correspondence Alexander's Silver shields. It tells about the whereabouts Alexander's missing golden ships while Alexander was in India. 470-yrs latter it was re-examied by Antonio Pigafetta who presented to king Carlos of Spain.
Yup. There was also reference that gold was abundant in the PH esp in the south where gold nuggets can be found in river banks that's why almost everyone wore gold ornaments including slaves per the Boxer Codex.
Hope they will come to Philippines to get back their ancestors Land of Ophir. And let all the Philippino get transferred to some African nations. Hallelujah...
"Yes Philippines could be Ophir. There were who claimed that Ophir could be Africa or India but they never fit to the description of Ophir. Ophir is described as: -Multitude of Islands in the Far East, the climate not cold and not dessert hot. it’s Philippines. Africa and India are not multitude of Islands while Philippines is 7,107 islands -Has lots of Gold and Silver. Philippines is abundant of gold and silver. During ancient times they could even just picked gold nuggets from the ground and in rivers and even slaves wore gold. -Solomon got ivory from Ophir. Though no more elephants nowadays in Philippines, there is archeological discovery lately of lots of Elephant bones buried somewhere in Philippines. It is believed that Philippines was abundant of Elephants during ancient times. -has peacock and lots of Exotic birds. Philippines has it. -People love to wear blue and purple. Ancient Filipinos love to wear blue and purple. -People in Ophir loves to sing. Most of Filipino households own karaoke and even some sounds out of tune they still sing. Party is not a party without music and Filipinos is renowned as exceptional singers. -Solomon got Red Sandalwood trees also called as Narra Tree. Red Sandalwood Tree is the Philippines’ national tree because it is high quality hard wood tree and abundant then in the country. -Solomon got Pearls from Ophir. Philippines is abundant of pearls and the country is called Pearl of the Orient Seas. -Ophir has fine marble. It’s Romblon Marble. -3 years travel back and forth from Israel to Ophir. Only Philippines then in the East take 3 years to travel from Israel back and forth. It took 6-8 months to travel Israel to India or Africa. -The prophecy about Ophir is the land from Far East who will spread the gospel throughout the world in the later times."
There's two evidences in Brazil says the phenicians was here to send gold and reedwood for Solomon temple. Pedra do Ingá and Pedra da Gávea. Written in phenician language.
Well, you really have to watch The God Culture's "Solomon Gold series" to confirm or reconfirm this FACT... they have over a hundred videos to prove this... (Historical, Scientific, Biblical, etc...) YAH Bless.
But my understanding the bible places Ophir being bound by the Tigres, Euphrates and another body of water. Philippines is nowhere near there. Do you have an explanation for this?
Mas maganda po siguro yung explanation if gumamit tayo ng bible verses especially mas maraming proof dun kesa sa mga theory at history books.. mas maiintindihan sana kung mismong solomons story yung ginawang reference dito. sana po sa next video is mas maraming bible verses How bible described the land of Ophir.. that's a challenge din kuya Kirby.. ☺️ Hindi din kasi ako kumbinsido sa mga history na ikaw nadin nagsabe na may mga peddler nadin that time na mga fake news spreader. (eto at para po sa mga hindi kumbinsido sa history) I Hope to hear some bible verses that described Ophir and why it is not the Philippines or why it is the Philippines... Salamat.

Brethren in Christ, ask yourself a logical question... Do you call your own earthly father his first name?... If you are his child, you call him Dad, Papa, Daddy, Father, etc... you do not call him through his First Name... the same analogy... As Christians, we do call our God, "FATHER" who is in Heaven... We do not call God, YaHuWaH, YeHoWaH, JeHoVaH, YaHWeH, YeHWuH, etc... Furthermore, there were no vowels in the name of God (YHWH) according to the Israelite Jews... the true pronunciation was lost and no one knows in our generation how to properly pronounce God's name... God gave Prophet Moses His Name almost 3000 years ago, "I AM what I AM." In conclusion, since nobody knows the sure 100% the true and proper way to pronounce God's Name, it is much Safer, Better, and Rightfully to ADDRESS/ACKNOWLEDGE the name of God, as our "FATHER" or "ABBA" if you are a Christian... If you do not know if you belong to God's children, "Almighty God" is far more appropriate to use than putting your own desired VOWELS to pronounce the Name of God... Facts and Truth of the Matter... Amen.
If they (solomon's men's expeditions) traveled by red sea to the "far" east, they would most likely be at myanmar, thailand, malaysia, and or indonesia.

Don't be fooled. Ophir is not the Philippines, nor is it Saudi. It's India (and possibly Sri Lanka). Where else would Gold, Ivory, and peacocks come from??? Ham and Cush are Africa. Midian is Saudi. And why would Solomon send SHIPS to go to either of those places when you can simply go by land.(?) You need to read the Bible and use common sense.

There is a mountain on the island of Malaita Province, Solomon Islands (Southwest Pacific) call Ophir (pronounced locally as OFI). From oral history and traditions, some people claimed that their first founding ancestors came all the way from Israel and reached that mountain top. From there they intermarriage with other Melanesian people who were already there. Currently at present, that place is kept as sacred and taboo. I hope proper archaeological and anthropological will confirm if such oral histories are true or not.

naalala ko, may nagkwento saakin na isa sa mga engineer na nagdevelop ng Nuvali sa Sta. Rosa, Laguna. noong nagstart sila ng development, may mga malalaking prehistoric ancient artifacts silang natagpuan. unfortunately, di nireports sa media. for sure, nakatago na yong mga artifacts or napagkakitaan na... along the process, naitago na rin ang history kasama noon..
Kaya nga hindi matibay yung claim ng mga pinoy kc halos walang archeological evidence. Sorry but true
Hindi conclusive na kapagka may archaelogical evidence ay yun na. But archaelogical evidence ay isa lang sa mga makakatulong na makapag connect. Marami pang ibang evidences aside from archaelogical.

I came from a land where it's called orphir there are many precious stones, and Hebrew writing and that place was so holy that you can't go up to that place, you can find precious stones along the streams that where king solomon collect stones for the temple
Just saying you came from a place then saying it has Precious stones And Hebrew writings and saying you can find precious stones anong the streams and then to have a caveat that its so holy and that you (us) cant go to that place and have King Solomon collect stones himself is just unverified information that a person heard or belief from someone based on assumptions, hearsay, speculations, rumors, gossip and then justifying it that the place is so holy, not Holy but “So Holy” therefore no one (someone) or anybody cant go is so kibosh and laughable, Why? Because what makes precious stones so holy? Does the bible say that Ophir or its natural resources of precious stones was a holy place or holy ?
😮😮😅
Ophir is more likely to be Sri Lanka and the Indian Subcontinent or present-day Southeast Asia because of the hints like the resources listed in the Bible which happens to be abundantly present in these regions.
it's unlikely that we could accurately pinpoint where the land really is because the geographical name "Ophir" is only found in ancient Hebrew and Aramaic perspectives, but the Philippines isn't Ophir.

Land of Ophir is not yet identified which specific country In this modern world that best fits the description.No one really knows where the Land of Ophir is located and situated.Based on the archaeological facts & evidences as a proof that the Philippines is said to be the ancient Ophir.But more proofs are needed to convince that the Philippines is really the land of Ophir because some other countries like India and parts of Africa are claiming that they were the land of Ophir.However, a traveller named Ferdinand Magellan strongly agreed that land of Ophir is the Philippines because he found few artifacts that could supported his stand.If ever the Philippines is the land of Ophir so be it and give honor,glory & praise to the Almighty.

As you said and tagged by a well known name as the biblical land of Ophir. Numerous conjectures and theories but the last thing they consult is the Bible, that is why it is called the biblical Ophir. God Culture’s YOU Tube has a sensible interpretation of where the biblical Ophir is located then and now through Bible passages.
Aurea Chersonesus ang ipinalit na pangalan ni Ptolemy sa Ophir ayon kay Josephus na jews historian noong panahon ni emperor Titus na lumusob sa jerusalem noong 70 AD. Sa ngayon ang Aurea Chersonesus ay tinatawag na Malaya peninsula o Malaysia.

King Solomon received a shipment from Ophir every three years (1 Kings 10:22) which consisted of gold, silver, sandalwood, pearls, ivory, apes, and peacocks. It's definitely not Ethiopia or India or Sri Lanka. In the ancient times, it won't take 3 years to sail to these places from the Gulf of Aqaba, so definitely it's the "Isles" which is the Philippines Islands that is mentioned in Psalms 72:10 which Tarshish and Sheba are mentioned. "The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts."
The mere mention of a numerous islands, exacts the Phils

Ophir has a brother named Havilah.. An entire land of gold is named after Havilah.
Genesis 2:11
11The name of the first river is Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.…
IT WAS HAVILAH WHO OWNED AN ENTIRE LAND FULL OF GOLD NOT OPHIR
@@9999rosebud there's a shekel of gold from ophir which was dug years ago so we know that there's really an ophir. just watch the God culture and review their research about this. they way more scholarly about this topic than you. 2nd, the philippine's pre colonial past was erased and we don't know why so we cannot discount that havilah may be inside ophir.
I heavily doubt it the Ophir theory , the only religious aspect why did Mt.Marks insist to be interned inside the tomb of Alexander the Great . When Muslim Uyamed came to Alexandria , the Venetian took out every content inside the tomb including ancient parchment thought to be religious artifacts of St.Marks which were transferred to Venice,but a correspondence Alexander's Silver shields. It tells about the whereabouts Alexander's missing golden ships while Alexander was in India. 470-yrs latter it was re-examied by Antonio Pigafetta who presented to king Carlos of Spain.
Pagsamahin na lang Ophir at Philippines: Ophirippines. Then ang slogan is: Oh! Phirippines.
🤣🤣🤣
The Philippines in the ancient times before it got its name was known as the Land of Gold because there were lots of gold here before.
Yup. There was also reference that gold was abundant in the PH esp in the south where gold nuggets can be found in river banks that's why almost everyone wore gold ornaments including slaves per the Boxer Codex.
Hope they will come to Philippines to get back their ancestors Land of Ophir. And let all the Philippino get transferred to some African nations. Hallelujah...
"Yes Philippines could be Ophir. There were who claimed that Ophir could be Africa or India but they never fit to the description of Ophir. Ophir is described as:
-Multitude of Islands in the Far East, the climate not cold and not dessert hot. it’s Philippines. Africa and India are not multitude of Islands while Philippines is 7,107 islands
-Has lots of Gold and Silver. Philippines is abundant of gold and silver. During ancient times they could even just picked gold nuggets from the ground and in rivers and even slaves wore gold.
-Solomon got ivory from Ophir. Though no more elephants nowadays in Philippines, there is archeological discovery lately of lots of Elephant bones buried somewhere in Philippines. It is believed that Philippines was abundant of Elephants during ancient times.
-has peacock and lots of Exotic birds. Philippines has it.
-People love to wear blue and purple. Ancient Filipinos love to wear blue and purple.
-People in Ophir loves to sing. Most of Filipino households own karaoke and even some sounds out of tune they still sing. Party is not a party without music and Filipinos is renowned as exceptional singers.
-Solomon got Red Sandalwood trees also called as Narra Tree. Red Sandalwood Tree is the Philippines’ national tree because it is high quality hard wood tree and abundant then in the country.
-Solomon got Pearls from Ophir. Philippines is abundant of pearls and the country is called Pearl of the Orient Seas.
-Ophir has fine marble. It’s Romblon Marble.
-3 years travel back and forth from Israel to Ophir. Only Philippines then in the East take 3 years to travel from Israel back and forth. It took 6-8 months to travel Israel to India or Africa.
-The prophecy about Ophir is the land from Far East who will spread the gospel throughout the world in the later times."

There's two evidences in Brazil says the phenicians was here to send gold and reedwood for Solomon temple. Pedra do Ingá and Pedra da Gávea. Written in phenician language.
funny, Filipino language have loan words from ancient hebrew language from Israel.
So this is why Filipinos covet Gold so very much
Whaaattt?!!!?😅
Yamashita treasures are still in contest until today.
nice visual, see THE GOD CULTURE.
Try to investigate cateel davao orriental at Mindanao...guide..eise circles shape
Well, you really have to watch The God Culture's "Solomon Gold series" to confirm or reconfirm this FACT... they have over a hundred videos to prove this... (Historical, Scientific, Biblical, etc...)
YAH Bless.
But my understanding the bible places Ophir being bound by the Tigres, Euphrates and another body of water. Philippines is nowhere near there. Do you have an explanation for this?
Sana ma gawan mo ito ng part 2 bro kirby.. nanabik na kaming mga OPHIRIANS na manood...
Hafa Adai Sir Kirby
Hafa adai!
Hafa adai.. do think you guam?
South India is ophir?
True name of the Philippine Island is Taga-ilog means Small River after 12 bc Maharlika by Rahjah of Cebu and Tondo,later Pilipinas from Spanish
Mas maganda po siguro yung explanation if gumamit tayo ng bible verses especially mas maraming proof dun kesa sa mga theory at history books.. mas maiintindihan sana kung mismong solomons story yung ginawang reference dito. sana po sa next video is mas maraming bible verses How bible described the land of Ophir.. that's a challenge din kuya Kirby.. ☺️ Hindi din kasi ako kumbinsido sa mga history na ikaw nadin nagsabe na may mga peddler nadin that time na mga fake news spreader. (eto at para po sa mga hindi kumbinsido sa history) I Hope to hear some bible verses that described Ophir and why it is not the Philippines or why it is the Philippines... Salamat.
Gisingin mo si bro eli soriano.
Funnily enough a place in Solomon islands in their native language is name Ophir. This was on the Malaita Province
Ito ba ang dating SOLOMON GOLD SERIES?
i think i remember borg monologue on this one in startrek
if only someone is bold enough to question the bible itself, the question is answered. it's all figment of imagination.
And I bet you don't even have all the evidence to prove that.
New Zealand. Dunedin is Ophir. Ophir means serpentine (Dunedin is a serpentine volcano) and the sound made by a giant hawk or eagle (Haast eagle) 3 years by sea via Hawaii and Neu Caledonia
ophir in the scriptures is a son of joktan, not a serpentine. he is also brother to sheeba and tarshish.
@Marc . Agree
It's true
New Zealand has a lot of Gold, but so does the Philippines.
oh my , were on the land of gold. but i dont have any.😂
its just im not fanatic of gold. ok i will buy tomorrow for luck
Cagayan de Oro? Apparently this was named for a reason, perhaps there are large deposits of gold there not discovered. Yet.
Brethren in Christ, ask yourself a logical question... Do you call your own earthly father his first name?... If you are his child, you call him Dad, Papa, Daddy, Father, etc... you do not call him through his First Name... the same analogy... As Christians, we do call our God, "FATHER" who is in Heaven... We do not call God, YaHuWaH, YeHoWaH, JeHoVaH, YaHWeH, YeHWuH, etc... Furthermore, there were no vowels in the name of God (YHWH) according to the Israelite Jews... the true pronunciation was lost and no one knows in our generation how to properly pronounce God's name... God gave Prophet Moses His Name almost 3000 years ago, "I AM what I AM."
In conclusion, since nobody knows the sure 100% the true and proper way to pronounce God's Name, it is much Safer, Better, and Rightfully to ADDRESS/ACKNOWLEDGE the name of God, as our "FATHER" or "ABBA" if you are a Christian... If you do not know if you belong to God's children, "Almighty God" is far more appropriate to use than putting your own desired VOWELS to pronounce the Name of God... Facts and Truth of the Matter... Amen.
And silver and onyx and pearl
Ophir is the country below China. It is composed of India /South and SouthEast Asia countries not only PH
King Solomon must have been hiding his foot tract to confuse you people. I can't even the Philippines, too. I am not even convinced!
Ophir People's Republic will soon rise in the Phils.
You have NO IDEA how truthful that is! CEBU WILL BE THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE WORLD in 2023! Shalom.

Ask Doraemon for time travel
Ophir is called the land of gold and prescious stones?many nation mentioned that they are ophir?base in history ,evidence and the bible?
I think that the exploration of solomon not happen.the unknown historian of the writers of the bible made it up.
The key is many island forget about others hahaha Philippine has alot of island bro
If they (solomon's men's expeditions) traveled by red sea to the "far" east, they would most likely be at myanmar, thailand, malaysia, and or indonesia. PH then and until now is enlosed to the right of these countries and are more accessible if you've come from the pacific. So them claiming "ophir" is PH is nonsense. Pure fantasy fuelled by "pinoy pride" bull--.
Ophir is not the only one go the east he have brothers and sisters we're live piece in East.
