The Bible Project Hey guys, I'm a big big fan. You've been a tremendous blessing in my life. Thank you for your amazing work. I just want to humbly correct something from this video. Moses did not put the laws that he's written INSIDE of the ARK, but he put it BESIDE it. “Take this Book of the Law, and put it BESIDE the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there as a witness AGAINST you;
Deuteronomy 31:26 NKJV
- ONLY the ten Commandments that God's written with His own finger was instructed to be put inside the Ark.
“At that time the Lord said to me, ‘Hew for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to Me on the mountain and make yourself an ark of wood. And I WILL WRITE on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke; and you shall put them IN the ark.’
Deuteronomy 10:1-2 NKJV
And you shall put into the ark the Testimony which I will give you.
Exodus 25:16 NKJV
And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with THE FINGER of God.
Exodus 31:18 NKJV
There's a definite distinction between the tablets that were written with God's finger and what Moses wrote, which According to Deuteronomy 31:26, were a witness AGAINST the people, Paul says were nailed at the cross.
-"having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was AGAINST us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross."
Colossians 2:14 NKJV
Handwriting- written by Moses' hand
Tablets- written by finger of God.
The reason why this matters lie in the meaning and purpose of the Ark of the covenant.
Love you guys, blessings.
Can you translate into Arabic please
That promise is the Lord Jesus Christ.
ISAIAH 5 - DEUTERONOMY
“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
(Isaiah 5:20)
WORDS BY: FATHER
"Never make holy what is not and never mistaken wrong what is right. My children do this so often because they live carnally which makes them justify their flesh. Sin and darkness does this and when you have been accustomed to it, you will begin to view things the way you see fit. Your perception of reality can be so far off from My truth, even to the point of denying My very words written in the Bible. When I gave the law the second time, I cemented it in Israel’s heart so they could differentiate and not mistaken right from wrong. This is no different from the words I speak and the truth I reveal to you. I give them to you so you may not fall into ignorance. If that’s so then why are certain truths obvious to some whereas others find it so easy to deny them? Hardness of heart. It is the same occurring problem since the beginning and it is why many people can live comfortably with evil and at the same time accuse the righteous for living the way of the gospel.
If you want to begin seeing the way I view things, untainted, humility is your answer. Today if you hear My voice do not harden your heart. Humble yourself to My voice in your daily life. I speak to you in more ways than you realize and if you have the eyes to see you will see Me in everything around you. You’ll see Me speak through others directly and indirectly, you’ll see Me speak through the things you do, and you’ll see Me speak through creation itself. Because you choose to give ear to My voice and not harden your heart, My perception of reality will be your perception and you’ll be able to say with all confidence, “The Earth is filled with His glory.”
@@redeagleministries5409 I love that verse I speak of it often. That is what America along with the rest of the world is doing. WOE TO THEM! The bible is right man is wrong.
Thank you God for letting me find this channel.

Try reading Ecclesiastes. It's a somber, realistic look at life from Solomon, but I find it deeply comforting.
@@skinnysnorlax1876 You really got me confused, hehe. I have a friend he told me to like not chat or txt or call each other for 2 weeks for we are toxic to each other as friends.
I thought you were him, coz he likes coffee as shown in your profile and he likes Pokemon so much like your name.
It's really surprising. I asked him and he is not you but I dont know if he's lying or your telling the truth.hehe
@@kingmathew6201 that's really quite the coincidence! But no, just a stranger who cares. Good luck
You sure that you're not him?
@@kingmathew6201 haha, pretty sure, yeah. Though I will say, if he likes coffee and pokemon, he has good taste.
Just looking out for you man
I felt like crying when God spoke and said I know they gonna turn away from me to worship order Gods. He knew the people are twisted but he still showed grace and compassion through everything
Now Behold No, that was not predestination. It was already obvious that the children of Israel were continuously rebellious and spoke against God on several occasions. They were a stiff necked people. God knows everything, he is limitless, nothing is a secret to him. He already knew they were going to turn their backs against Him. He never MADE them do that. They did it by choice and free will.
Now Behold Nothing I said was contradicting. You have zero understanding
@Love Floreal, that is the heart of the Father. Just like when we raise our own kids, if they don't listen to us, we know the kinds of things that silk happen to them. But we still love them, even if they don't listen. Even if they make us angry, we still love them. And if they come to their senses and turn around, we are ready, even quick to receive them back, and forgive their former disobedience, and bless them with the blessings we intended for them all along.
@Now Behold I don't think God was predestining Israel; I think He knew the outcome. In all of these cases of God "predetermining" He's talking about a group of people - in this case the Israelites. There are most definitely individuals who would choose to obey God but the masses didn't.
if Moses where Alive Today in 2019 , He would have No Mercy for Disobedience , He would be in Full War Mode along with Jesus -
"And so now as each generation reads the Torah, they find themselves called to hope in what Moses hoped for: a new and transformed heart that one day can truly listen and love." I loved that. Thank you!
I am a Muslim from Peshawar, Pakistan. I love videos prepared by you guys!!It helps me a lot in understanding Bible and teaching my students!thanks!
What do you teach
God bless you brother Jesus loves you :)
Jesus Loves you sir! bless you
same Im a muslim and these videos are helping understand more the bible in order to understand theology.
By God's mercy people hear about Jesus and by his grace are people strengthened to follow him continually. Not just knowledge of scriptures is good but also an open heart willing to receive Jesus Christ
So this is what I must pray for: For a new and renewed heart that will Listen and Obey the Lord my GOD that will Love Him and decide to do so forever.
I am 60, and have a hard time reading for a long period of time, thru lack of focus. I thank you so much for helping me learn more, and grow more thru your wonderful videos.
nice job, it's 2020, now, the bible was always hard to read for me, most of my
spiritual education came from the movies in the 40s & 50s, after 78 years i am learning to read.
Richard Rodriguez God bless you!
I appreciate y'all so much. Throughout my life I have read the bible probably twice cover to cover, and I've studied it over the years. I am now 52 and losing my memory. Your videos are like a very simple refresher course. I watch them when I can't remember things or get things mixed up...most of it comes back to me so easily after your videos..i may not retain everything but I can always watch again and again..lol...thank you.
Thank you so much - I need this like I need air. I was not raised in church - raised by an agnostic and a non practicing catholic. I had an interest from 7 yrs ok’d so I went to church with friends. I’ve craved knowledge of the Bible and God’s word. This explains it all so easily. Bless you 🙏
I love your videos. I am a new Christian and these have been so amazing in answering my questions and understanding the Bible. I am a visual learner, so reading is harder for me, but these are great! Keep making them!
God bless you 🙏❤☺🌅💪💒✊ ! and Welcome Home , I hope you truly find joy in Christ and dwell in His perfect love ❤ !
Kelsey Amos if you have other questions, one person I would recommend looking up is Ravi Zachariah. He's a Christian apologetic and does a very good job at tackling tough questions posed against Christians and the Bible
Welcome to the family!
Kelsey Amos I also highly recommend Matt Dillahunty’s channel.
Coleman Monahan Ravi believe you can be gay and Christian be careful

Instead of netflix I find myself binge watching at night from this channel. Thank you! Praise the Lord! ❤
This is so cool!! Because of you guys, I'm getting to study the bible with my Mom!! She works a lot, so has never had time to sit and read the bible, but she loves these videos!! I'm having so much fun learning about the the different books, and how they apply to my own Salvation Journey.
Why have I only just found out about you guys?! As the Torah ends, I literally cried. What a beautiful gift you guys have given the world. Thank you x
It is so emotional. I'm doing a year read through the bible and I'm being very much blessed by those reviews and clarifying videos. Thank you guys for letting God use you all.
I’m a Muslim and loved the videos you have made. It shows so much similarity in the same stories mentioned in Quran . I have learned a lot. Thank you
Greetings. With all due respect, the similarities exist because Muhammad knew of the Torah. He encountered many Jewish caravans in his life who shared with him the stories in the Bible which was an integral part of his inspiration in writing the Quran....
Can’t forget it: Muhammad has taken parts of the Bible and changed it. A human has made himself represent a God, therefore it is sinful blasphemy. The entirety of the Muslim culture is lead by paganism. They look at a man and call him God. I look at God and call him God.
Lest me not also forget: the battle is not in flesh, but of spirit. You, and mankind, are not my enemy. I do not speak of you negative. Our war wages in sin, smothered in evil. Mankind is just a vessel. Face God our Lord Jesus Christ and praise!
Jesus love’s you
Thank you God for letting me find this channel ❤
This definitely helps me understand more of the Bible, thank you
I started to read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, after I read each book I watch your videos. Thank you. God has been really moving in my life. This has helped me with my faith and in understanding God's will in my life. For a moment in my life I lost faith but not completely because I felt empty and the only help has been through reading the Bible. Thank you so much. May God richly bless you. You guys are truly blessed and highly favored. Keep up the awesome work, God is definitely with you all. Amen!
God is always with you too😊. God bless you in Jesus's name sister.

hey guys, I recently found your videos and I've found them really informative. I'm not a Christian, but studying religions is one of my passions in life, and your videos have helped me understand parts of the bible that I previously had difficulty understanding, Deuteronomy being one of them. So, thanks for everything you're doing, keep up the good work!

Another excellent video. I am currently reading the Bible in Chronological order and these videos really accent my reading.
mismindles im doing the same thing
Me as well! Just finished numbers and I'm starting Deuteronomy rn
Same here. Beautiful isn’t it!!!
I started watching a few weeks ago, The Bible Project, I'm not sure how I got here, but it is a blessing, this morning I turned my mom on to your channel, it helps her to understand because her eye sight is failing her and can't read the bible to much, and last year she excepted the Lord and it has been a good channel to watch, keep up the good work. Thank you.
Hope all is good with you and your mom! 🤗❤️
I like the book of Deuteronomy. It is a source of joy and encouragement.
So great, you make it so easy to understand and how the books of the Bible are so connected. Thank you so much to everyone who worked on this project. It is my favorite reading right now.
Theses guys do excellent narratives! Love them, clear, straight to the point and pleasant voices to listen to
You guys are a blessing to so many people! Thank you for all of your hard work, and may God continue to bless your ministry!
You guys help promote psychotic delusions. Should be ashamed of yourselves.
You guys, @The Bible Project, are definitely talented and very creative with explaining the greatest book ever written!! These videos are great for those who want to know more about the Bible but have a short attention span but you also offer longer versions and study guides for those who want to dive in a little deeper! God has His hands on you and your creativity! Thank you for your time and for all the hard work (your sweat, blood, & tears) you guys put into making these videos!

My bf and and I Just found you guys, and we LOVE IT!! He is a new Christian, of a couple years, and Jesus had been my sheppard my whole life, for over 40 years! But my bf had gained a passion and understanding for the bible that surpasses the rest of the family, and we go to him, the newbie for our Bible questions!!! He had a driving need for answers and total understanding, and isn't it amazing how Our Father works, blessing us individually uniquely with our needs!!! Anyway, this channel is wonderful, thank you for taking your time for all of us, and I'm so so happy to see over a million subscribers!!! Hooray TEAM JESUS!!! Thank you brothers!!! 😊
I was diagnosed with a rare disease. I encountered a covid 19 patient not just once but 4x but still I did not get infected. All of these was because of God. I know that our God will always save us because we are his children and a father loves his children.
The Covid survival rate is ridiculously high. If you are obese, low in Vit D and have type A blood, well, then there’s reason to worry. Other than that, the vast vast majority survive. Most have had it but will never experience symptoms. I think we should all be on our knees thanking God for sparing us a truly horrific disease, like an Ebola, for example. I hope more and more people get right with God because we never know when our time comes and we breathe our last.
This series really helped me start reading this (traditionally considered the "boring") books of the bible, and gave them a new life for me, it's like my eyes were open to a new world, great Job guys.

Turn to Christ and live! The history of the Jewish people feels so close to my heart. I have had a close connection with them ever since I became born again
I hope you know who the real Jews are. Hint not the ones that are currently in Israel, and not anyone white.
Language Fox look up the 12 tribes of Israel. It's not these zionist.. their Khazarian look at Revelation 3:9. All praises to the father ✊🏾
Language Fox race has a lot to do with it the true Jews are black
MrMfloor This is in regards to those previous comments saying the Jews are black. This disproves it. hubpages.com/religion-philosophy/Black-Hebrew-Israelites
Correcting Falsehoods
In order to distinguish who the real Jews are you have to see what Nation of people still have the Curses on them to this day that are listed in Deuteronomy 28:15-68. The Lord said those Curses would be on those people & their children as a sign and it would be forever.
Deuteronomy 28: 45-46
45. Moreover all these Curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
46. And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed
for ever.
Now lets check out the people that presently call themselves Jews, which are white. A lot of people don't know that Jewish people have their hands in the Media, Congress, Courts, Homeland Security, Military, Big Name Corporations, and Education to name a few..
So the Lord said there would be a sign to let you know who the Jews were because of the oppression and affliction that would be on them and their children forever.
...🤔Doesn't sound like the Jewish people are under any Curses to me. In fact their in one of the top spots in the country as far as wealth & success goes.
In Revelation, the very last book of the Bible Jesus says..
Revelation 2:9
9. I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9
9. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
• The Jewish people worship at a synagogue & call themselves Jews.
Just saying 🤐
"Oh, that they had such a heart in them that they would fear Me and always keep all my Commandments, that it might be well with them and their descendants forever."
DEUTERONOMY 5:29
Thanks for your work guys, now everyone go and be blessed in the name of Jesus Christ/Yeshua
The first commandment from the Hebrew god Yahweh warns the Hebrews not to worship the other gods - only him.
This commandment has nothing to do with me since I do not belong to Yahweh's Hebrew tribes.
I am using this videos to improve the theology lessons I teach on my church in Cali, Colombia. God bless you guys, you are making a really bless job.
So many things on my mind to say. But gist is, I find it not only easier to understand the overall picture of each book, it makes me feel more motivated to read the Bible as I am beginning to understand the summary by watching these videos. I am so so glad I came across this channel!! Thank you for all the work you do.
My church is using this for our Connect group. Now I can't stop watching more on my own. It is so good to get an overview of books and themes in such a visual way. What a gift you have to make the bible come alive with this tool. Thank you.
Hi 👋 sister. 🙏🙏. It’s an honor to make response on your comment here. God has been good, faithful and a way maker in my life. I’m a devoted Christian, born Baptist, a deacon and prayer leader in local church. Do you mind if we talk more about our relationship and understanding in God’s word? If yes, I will love you. Hope to read from you soon 🙏🙏..
it's so helpful ! may God bless you with your endeavors
I love this!! This is gonna be a useful tool for my wife who doesn’t like to read the Bible. Now she can get a better grasp of the gospels and other books in very easy format. Thanks guys! My The Lord continue to bless your ministry.

Can you guys do a video explaining the armor of God
+Gabriel Arrieta Try reading The Christian in Complete Armour by William Gurnall.
David vs Goliath, Faith is our Armour.
THE ARMOR , IS GETTING BORN AGAIN GETTING RESTORED BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL NATURE WHICH IS LOVE , AND "GETTING FILLED WITH THS HOLY SPIRIT BLESSINGS LITTLE CHRIST LIKE ONES ✌❤👣
Breast plate of righteousness, the belt of truth, the helmet of hope and salvation, the shield of faith, the sword of word and spirit, the boots of peace. God is the armor. Christ is my righteousness. Christ is the Truth. Christ is my hope and salvation. Christ is the Word. Christ is the Spirit. Christ is the Prince of Peace
The apostle Paul explains the Armor of God in his epistle to the Ephesians (chapter 6, verses 11-18).
In this passage, Paul explains how Christians can grow closer to God, while resisting and opposing Satan's attacks and temptations that threaten to hinder this growth.
Paul does this by metaphorically comparing the key aspects of the Christian faith to pieces of roman armor (as the Roman empire was in power and on top of the world in Europe, the Middle East, and parts of northern Africa at this time).
In short, Paul lists out six pieces of roman armor that just about any roman soldier could be seen wearing at that time. These include the girdle/belt, breastplate, shoes/sandals, shield, helmet, and sword (gladius).
The belt symbolizes truth, as the Christian faith begins when one seeks out the truth of God and His ways. This was the first and innermost piece of armor to be put on. Also, if the soldier was wearing a longer robe or tunic underneath, he could "gird up his loins," which meant tying the ends of the tunic or robe around his upper thighs, then holding them in place with a belt. This freed up the legs to increase mobility, while helping the soldier to be more prepared for battle. Likewise, greater knowledge and wisdom in the truth of the scriptures sets a believer free from whatever deceptions they were previously bound by before their increased knowledge of the scripture revealed the falsehoods of the deceptions, taking away their power to hinder the believer's progress in his or her walk with God.
Next comes the breastplate of righteousness. Just as a breastplate protects your major organs, especially the heart, Jesus' righteousness covers your sins and protects you from Satan's accusations of your unworthiness or failures to live up to God's standards. This is accomplished by Jesus' sacrifice, which covers our sins with the shedding of His blood. Some also interpret an additional parallel with the reflectiveness of the breastplate symbolizing the Christian's reflection of Jesus' godly character.
The next piece of armor is the shoes/sandals of peace, which represent the gospel. This is the foundation for the Christian's belief, which is made up of the truth and righteousness of the previous pieces. Knowing about the truth of the scriptures and having the righteousness of godly character culminates in the gospel message, which brings peace from its good news. This peace provides direction, as the feet guide one's path when walking, and protect one's feet from obstacles on the ground, especially when having to cross landscapes with rough terrain. Likewise, the good news of the gospel allows one to go through life less vunerable to stumbling blocks and obstacles to living a godly life. Additionally, roman soldier sandals sometimes had spikes in them, allowing them to grip the ground better, just as a Christian equipped with the gospel can stand more firm in the truth than those without it, even in the face of persecution, either in the form of ridicule, criticism, contempt, or any other such difficulty in speading God's word.
These include the innermost pieces of armor. Next comes the shield of faith. It is more versatile and protects the user from harm in addition to the belt and breastplate or shoes (and sometimes shin guards underneath). Likewise, faith is another key aspect of the Christian belief and identity. Specifially the roman shield was large, rectangular, and often made of wood, covered in animal skin, and usually wet with water, oil, or some alum-like substance. While thrusts from the sword in the enemy's hand were blocked by the soldier's shield, there were also flaming arrows (the "flaming darts" Paul refers to here likely translate to the fiery arrows). Such arrows are believed to have been hollowed at the tips, which could be filled with tar, pitch, or some flammable substance to be ignited easily. These often came fast, and seemingly out of nowhere, catching a soldier by sudden surprise if he was not constantly vigilant. They were also designed to set on fire whatever they attached to. For the Christian, the fiery darts were temptations from Satan, which require faith for protection, and our faith in turn helps in our effort in the continuous pursuit of scriptural truth as well as godly righteousness. Faith must be constantly reinforced and reapplied in order to maintain these crucial pursuits, just as the soldier had to habitually wet his shield with the water, oil, or other non-flammable substance to prevent the flaming arrow from having as much of a devastating effect. If not moisturized enough in this manner, the animal hides on the shield could become qyite dry, and with dry wood as the only other component, the shield could be turned into a piece of kindlewood. If the arrow caught through, it could quickly set ablaze a soldiers shield, armor, or immediate surroundings, just as a single temptation from Satan could ignite further temptations and do further spiritul damage to one's walk with God. And just as the arrows flew with fast and sudden swiftness, so do Satan's temptations and attacks often come quickly and stealthily, without a sign or warning to them, but requiring a constant vigilance on the part of the believer to move the shield of faith to stop them and meet them when and where they come.
After the shield comes the helmet of salvation (since the shields often had a strap to assist their usage; they would have been somewhat bulky and heavy, especially for long trips in military campaigns and frequent use in battle). The helmet would then be put on. As roman soldiers are noticed and perhaps recognized best for their characteristic helmets, so are Christians to be recognized by their salvation and all the beliefs their salvation entails. Just as the helmet defines a roman soldier as a roman soldier, salvation, which is built upon acceptance of the gospel, defines a Christian as a Christian. The rest of the Christian identity mentioned so far builds up to it (the search for truth, practice of righteousness, and the peace, readiness, and motivation of the gospel). The helmet protects the solder's head, while the assurance of one's salvation (their progress in reaching it) helps secure a steadfast and reinforced assurance that the believer is on the right track in his or her walk with God and progress of spiritual growth. Some additonal possible parallels may include the eye openings. Just as the structure of the helmet partially restricts the wearer's view to see only what is directly or close to directly in front of them, while it may not allow them to see what is to either side of them. In this parallel, salvation is the ultimate goal of life, and it demands our focused and undivided attention, leaving little to no attention to other things, the worries, cares, and pursuits of this earthly life, which are not as important or significant, but could threaten to distract us from the ultimate goal of salvation if we are not careful.
Lastly, we have the sword of the spirit. This is a unique armor piece as it is the only offensive piece. The power of the Holy Spirit working through the christian is how the christian may "fight back" against Satan's attacks. The sword thrusts of the roman soldier back at his enemy symbolizes a christian using his or her scriptural knowledge of truth, aided by the Holy Spirit to call it forth from memory in order to refute the arguement or reasoning behind Satan's deceptions. Human reasoning alone fails, for Satan is brilliantly clever himself, and a master manipulater of truth, with at least a few thousand years of experience in leading souls astray. Rather, the Holy Spirit, aiding the rebuttal with His word against Satan's tricks, is the chief defense of the armor. In addition, the offensive property of this last piece of armor represents how God uses a christian to help others in the quest for growth in the walk with God, including other believers. The roman gladius is a double-edged sword designed for piercing and thrust-cuts to penetrate deep. The power and authority of God through the Holy Spirit and the scriptures which bear His truth penetrate into the hearts of men, with a sharpness unlike any other source of truth, cutting through everything but the central issues or matters at hand, often the deep questions of life and possible meanings for it. The roman soldier uses his sword to cut through flesh and sometimes the armor of opposing soldiers as the truth of God infused with the power of the Holy Spirit manifest through the christian, cuts through the lies and deceptions of Satan's false ways and teachings to reveal what is true. A christian is mighty in his or her character and deeds when they tap into the power of the Holy Spirit, allowing God through the Holy Spirit to guide them as they go through life in their walk with God. The last verse (Ephesians 6:18) mentions the usefulness and necessity of prayer for better spiritual growth and resistance to Satan's temptations and attacks. Though there is no piece of armor symbolized by prayer, this could relate to the sword. As a sword needs to be sharpened time and time again for more maximized and effective usage and penetration ability, a christian must pray to God constantly, remaining in continuous fellowship with Him to maintain the spiritual growth and protection from Satan's temptations and attacks, and to maximize his or her connection to the Holy Spirit, which is the chief source of their strength and might in their walk with God and battle against Satan.
This is what I have gathered about the armor of God so far, from a few articles, to a few commentaries on Bible-Hub, to a video from a Christian youtuber. Hope this helps! 😊
wow. The Torah is finished??? I thought it was the whole Old Testament. I really enjoy your videos. I am learning so much with them. Thank you so much. God bless you guys and your ministry. :)
Shaylah, the entire old testament is called tanakh (tuh - NAK') by the Jews, which Jesus referred to as the Law, the Psalms, and the Prophets.
The Torah is Genesis to Deuteronomy
The Torah is the 5 books of the law from genesis to deuteronomy and the tanak is the OT
I Love this channel, so much. I understand so much better.Thank YOU. And above all else, Praise God For all things....🙏
I pray to Lord Gd to protect India, Israel, Canada, and the entire world, let peace and happiness dwell everywhere and make satan be exposed for what it does and the hatred it whispers into the hearts of naive men.
I am a Muslim .. love your work .. I love the Torah, the bible and the Quran. The Quran is an amazing holy book.. I like to see a work like this

Found out about you guys from a friend, and I'm really happy I did! Thank you for all the time and effort you put in to these videos and I pray that they reach out to more people!

I'm glad we found this channel, simplifies so many things but.. we still need to get to our Bibles.. especially now with a better understanding, we still need to read, study and meditate on the Word, for it is the Spirit of God, and He brings life.
Here’s a tip with reading this spiritual book. Imagine yourself in these situations and ask the holy spirit to adapt your perspective to be more intimate. God bless whoever reads this in the name of Jesus Christ. You’re doing better than you think

Hi 👋 sister. 🙏🙏. It’s an honor to make response on your comment here. God has been good, faithful and a way maker in my life. I’m a devoted Christian, born Baptist, a deacon and prayer leader in local church. Do you mind if we talk more about our relationship and understand in God’s word? If yes, I will love you. Hope to read from you soon 🙏🙏..
Wow, the animation is so wonderful. This was amazing and thank you for making this and spreading the Word you guys. God Bless All of you.
You guys should script a movie
Yeah, why not? Hams mob did.
I hope your subscribers and viewers could grow more and spread every word in each video. I believe that your advocacy is the first step to obey and love God above All. I really love your page and I am looking forward for the next chapters and lessons that you'll be showing. :)
I thank God for leading me to YouVersion! YouVersion lead me to The Bible Project! Tim and John, thank you for all these videos!
with Our Father in Heaven’s help nothing is imposible
Sorry, just a correction..... not the "entire law code" or ceremonial law written by Moses in Deuteronomy was placed in the ark. ONLY the moral law which God wrote with his fingers(10 commandments ) was placed in the ark (Exodus 25:16) and the laws written by Moses in paper was placed outside( but beside) the ark (Deuteronomy 31:26). There is a big significance to this :) All in all, im loving the animations :) Keep up the good work.
Rona Finiasi that is correct...thank you!
Yes, I agree only the Ten Commandments.
Thas nice for uuuu
All 613 principles derive from the Torah and fall under each ten commandment like a chapter. The principles are in place to help fulfill or walk the Ten Commandments
Rona Finiasi Not accurate or true. All laws included . Show us where in Scriptures you found that?
Even JC says to obey all the laws...
Paul curses laws. You follow Paulianty anyway....
Moses was on Sinai three times for 40days equalling 120.He was taught laws by God many many laws...he didn't play ping pong up there for four months.
Amen!!!!
u guys are soooo awesome...I loved that part about love and obey...totally connecting!!
I love these! I'm really starting to understand the books of the bible and all of you make it so interesting and fun! Thank You!
As I read parts of the Old Testament a couple of years ago I was struck by the level of love forgiveness grace and mercy that God Be stowed on these hard hearted people. Which now in the New Testament translates to me and you as the song goes I am in awe of you O Lord my God
This is our American slavery. Deuteronomy 28:68 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
“No man shall buy you” ... Hebrews were bought.
The chosen people concept is the biggest scam on humanity
Keva Wilson Lol no man will get you out of this but God.
@@kevawilson3495 oh Esau! You can't understand it because the bible is a book about Israelites
@@kevawilson3495 That's the problem you dont understand, when they say no man shall buy you it means no one will save you from the curse
another black hebrew israelite parroting what they hear on the internet, Duet 28:68 was fulfilled after roman seige of jersusalem in 70 ad, it is NOT talking about trans atlantic slave trade, the bible is NOT black history
Absolutley a great job.
Do you guys plan on putting these on DVD's? Would be great if not already done. Thanks for your work, Glory to God!
I can’t stop watching these! Thank y’all for making them! Thank God for speaking through yall!
Thank you for the opportunity to Learn God's word without having to go to bible school the way we are learning through these videos. They are life changing.
I finally can understand Deuteronomy! thanks a lot
Yeah, if your parents weren't married, you're going to hell.
so glad this video is finally ready. Such a good job. But FYI, you depicted the ark of the covenant slightly off. You have the poles going parallel to the angel wings, but in traditional jewish thought those were meant to go perpendicular. Because the Ark cover was the Mercy Seat and was essentially a throne for God. He dwelled Between the cherubim. Think of the Cherubim as the arm rests.
Just something I thought you guys might be nerdy enough to be interested in.
Also thanks for such a great series on Torah. These videos have been excellent. I wish you had funding to do more series like this. I would love to see Kings and Chronicles, and the Life of David done this way.
You guys are awesome! Gloria a Dios
Me gustan mucho sus videos tanto los que son de español, portugués y inglés porque me hacen entender el panorama del libro y además aprender más sobre cada idioma. Dios les bendiga
Este canal es una gran bendición para mi vida 😊
So the Torah is for those outside the promised land, until they enter in(into Christ), we'll forever struggle to obey and abide by it! Christ fills us with love which makes us obey. I love ❤ you guys, God bless you!
