This 46 minutes of Bible Archeology and Biblical History lesson is worth Far more Informative than my 1year Bible Geography class during my Theological studies 26years ago.!! Thank you for uploading this.!! Ex Hindu from India.!!!
I'm a simple man. I see a Joel Kramer video, I instantly like it. Then proceed to watch and be confirmed in my decision to like the material presented :)))
What a beautiful message!!! Not only does it give geographic and archaelogical context but it also brings us to Jesus. It is this deeper understanding that you provide us with, that is so precious!!! Thank you so much for the message of truth!!!
Looks like Joel is exactly right, this is where they found the artifact with part of the curse and YHWH etched on it... so awesome. These videos of Joel's tours you filmed are priceless. If more people actually knew about them, they'd have thousands of views, I'm sure. In fact, I wish you would get together with Joel and release them as a DVD set, I would definitely buy it and I'm sure many others would too! I could even help with the production costs. Thanks for all your work.
Thank you very much, I filmed using my iPhone 10 Max. Joel has a copy of the videos, you can contact him via his website SourceFlix and suggest he makes them into a DVD set. Film crews can’t go to many of the places we went! I would love more people to see the evidence too! 👍❤️
Wonderful straight forward explanation of how the peoples layered this site. I appreciate this so much as I am trying to decipher the OT. And you are brave too!! Adds to my understanding of the conflict over every bit of territory. Subbed.
Thank you, I filmed just using my phone precisely because the majority of people will never get to see this incredible evidence! Thank you for commenting. Joel’s channel is called Expedition Bible and is excellent! 😊👍❤️
Thank you so much for this video and the teaching. As an older woman, I know I'll never get to see Israel. But with your video, I felt like I was there. I could see the stones and what you were teaching and showing to everyone. If I were there, it might just look jumbled and thrown about with no way of knowing what was what!! But you made it make sense. Thank you so much!! You touched my heart!! God bless You!
I am so pleased that you enjoyed Shechem, as a last minute attendee of Joel’s Israel tour I wanted to film his teachings using my phone precisely so that those who may never personally be able to go can see these incredible archaeological locations described in God’s Word. The Bible is the longest historical narrative in the world, and the evidence is at these known sites and on display in museums! I hope you will be blessed by the other teachings of Joel too! ❤️
Hi HistoryGuy, Joel isn’t responsible for this channel, I just filmed his tour. You are absolutely right, when you see the actual archaeological sites, where biblical events took place it adds another dimension to studying His Word! I have uploaded over 120 Joel videos, enjoy and please share, so wonderful to show others the accuracy of the biblical narrative!
In November 2022 we visited The Museum of the Bible in Washington DC. There was a special exhibit about the Samaritans and Mt Gerizim. About 700 Samaritans still live there.
Yes! Joel took us up through the Samaritan area in our coach and we saw their sacrifice site for Yom Kippur, I think there are 52 families so each family sacrifices a lamb, which is around a year old so quite a big animal. ruclips.net/video/Jfd1sPrvh1w/видео.html this video shows Joel at Bethlehem explaining the Samaritan Sacrifice and then in the description under that video is the link to see the drive through. You will see the ancient Samaritan language written on the doors also. Israel is an extraordinary country and to see how the historical narrative of the Bible weaves through it is truly remarkable.
Watched this video this Sunday morning b4 church & was encouraged. How Christ himself took the “word/Himself”… to Sychar, Shechem, Samaria. They were “lost” & dying without Him. Only He could deliver them as the same today with us… the Messiah/ Promised Deliverer unto salvation. Thank You so much for this video of inspiration
Thank you for commenting, I was a tour attendee on Joel’s tour and wanted everyone to be able to see these incredibly important Biblical sites and hear his teachings! I only had my iPhone and one chance to film! 👍😊❤️
@@biblicaltours3541 If someway somehow someday I could visit the Holylands I’d tour with Mr Kramer he’s the only one knowledgeable enough spiritually & biblically I trust as accurate & truthfully
I really love all the material and work you do. I love the archeological part that directly matches the Bible and events that happened. It shows that the Bible is exact.
Remarkable isn’t it! I use a short clip of the Samaritan Woman at Jacob’s Well video in my tours through the British Museum. So much biblical archaeological evidence surrounds a hole in the ground with water at the bottom! 👍😁
@@lizzieb.4160 apologies this isn’t Joel’s channel, I am just a tour attendee who he gave permission to upload the videos I recorded on my phone. Joel’s channel is called Expedition Bible and is excellent! You can contact him on his website SourceFlix.com! 👍😊❤️
There's a ton of EXCELLENT information in this video. Thanks for posting! I wanted to add a couple of things. Firstly, you mentioned the Samaritan woman at the well, and how Jesus ministered to her. I noticed that you didn't present WHY the Samaritan woman accepted Jesus' message, and I think that's important to understand. One of the things Jesus told her was, "You don't know what you're worshipping. We (Jews) know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews." That's the critical element of Jesus' message, and let me explain why. The Samaritans only accepted the five books of Moses as authoritative. They didn't accept anything after that, because they believed (and still believe) that Eli was a wicked priest who stole the Ark of the Covenant from the temple at Shechem, and brought it to Shiloh, causing a civil war among the priesthood. A third of the priests followed Eli, a third remained at Shechem, and a third fell away entirely and worshipped other gods. That means that if Jesus was going to minister to the Samaritan woman, He would have to appeal to the five books of Moses as proof of His Messiah-ship - and the quote above DOES EXACTLY THAT. Let me explain how. Genesis 49:10-11, when correctly translated, says this: "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor a lawgiver from between his feet, **Until He comes to Shiloh**; And to Him shall be the obedience of the people." "Shiloh" isn't another name for the Messiah. It's the PLACE where the Messiah will gather the people and be accepted as their ruler! Since according to the Samaritans, Eli stole the Ark of the Covenant and took it to Shiloh, the Samaritans wouldn't accept any ruler claiming that Shiloh was the place that the Messiah would choose to rule over the people - UNLESS GEN. 49:10-11 SAID SO!!! Shechem was in the territory of the tribe of Ephraim, as you correctly pointed out. So was Shiloh...but the difference was that Shiloh was rejected by the Samaritans as having any authority whatsoever. Only by refuting that belief from the Scriptures that the Samaritans accepted, could Jesus show why He could qualify to be their promised Messiah. Next point. You pointed out the chair-shaped stone at Shechem as the "stone" that Joshua erected there. I don't think that's correct. Instead, I think the stone immediately to the left of it is the one Joshua erected. The chair-shaped stone **is where Abimelech was crowned king**. It was also the judgment seat of Joshua as he judged over Israel. The stone that Joshua erected was described as a "pillar" in Judges 9:6, which doesn't really fit the chair shape at all. Instead, a "pillar" is a stone erected as a boundary marker or claim to a specific piece of land, by the descendants of a specific family. Kings were typically crowned or made covenants BY A PILLAR (Judges 9:6; 2 Ki. 11:14; 2 Ki. 23:3), because it was their way of demonstrating that the covenant was being made with the family that that pillar represented. Thus, the chair or throne or judgment seat wouldn't be the same as the "pillar." Make sense?
Fascinating video! I would add a hint of caution to a couple of your claims. We can't say for sure whether that is the same stone Joshua put there and we definitely can't say for sure whether that's the same well Jacob dug.
Very interesting video. It makes the bible come alive a bit more. To actually see the real spot. By the way: Do we know why did they call it Baal-Berit as well as El-Berit?
Pretty awesome, don't know why people wouldn't go there, you would think being a believer, you would want to see the bible come alive because you are right there. Catch everything you can attitude.
This is a Palestinian controlled area and Israeli’s are not allowed to go so it’s difficult to find tour guides will to take groups for fear of kidnapping or assistance requiring the help from Israeli police. Joel is a non Jewish guide. I took video footage from the coach of the area, lovely countryside and big houses, check out the Bethel - Luz- Beitin West Bank Walkabout or the Bethlehem Drive to Herod’s Pools videos! 👍😊
Hi Joel, what Bible translation are you reading from in the Bible you are holding in this video? I’m reading from the CJB by David Stern. Just looking for more info, thanks
Apologies this isn’t Joel’s channel, I was just a tour attendee filming with my iPhone. Joel’s channel is called Expedition Bible and is excellent. You can contact Joel on his SourceFlix.com website to ask him questions! 👍😊
"Jesus being the Messiah knew exactly what to speak to her about" The water source. That they destroyed. So she has to work so hard. And he's asking for a drink. HE WAS PICKING A FIGHT. Though I don't think she was thinking about the aqueducts and the destruction of Shechem😂
Not at all, Jesus knew He would meet her there precisely because the other Samaritan women wouldn’t have anything to do with her, they would have come earlier when it was cool to fetch water. Everyone knew this woman by reputation, she had had five husbands and the one she was now living with she wasn’t married to. The Samaritans know the Old Testament very well which was why Jesus could have a theological discussion with her. This woman of ill repute was used through her confession to the people of her town, which led them to salvation by meeting their hoped for Messiah. Jesus did the same with the demoniac who when free from torment asked to go with Jesus, but he told him to go and be a witness in the ten cities, which would have again led to the salvation of many. He is doing the very same today, people are totally transformed and become great witnesses of His love, grace, mercy and kindness. Eternal life is the free gift only offered through his atoning sacrifice for our sins on the cross. 👍

@D W Oh yes indeed, The Curse Tablets! Halleluיהרה! I too, would purchase these on DVD. I could have easily watched another hour. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks so much for sharing….teaching geography of the Bible. I will use this in class!!
When Jacob camped there 4,000yrs earlier, he could not have thought that a group of tourists would come and peer at his well :3

Baie dankie vir hierdie videos! So wonderlik om die Bybel geskiedenis ook te kan ‘sien’!

Dear sir, happy birthday! I read on Joels webpage that all tours have been canceled for the year 2025 due to the war in Gaza.
