It's ok. No one is perfect; we can choose to be kind rather than being rude. I don't know about the others here in the comments they fight against each other.
I thought this was a fantastic video. It's so hard to condense the OT down to 8 minutes, but you managed to do it - and it was a clear and concise explanation. Thank you so much for your hard work. I learned a great deal.
That was absolutely fabulous. I can't emphasize enough how meaningful it is for an older person to have so clear a chronology after first hearing these stories as a small child. THANK YOU
Carl Arnold So nice to hear someone is moved by hearing about God’s word! Hopefully you will not be deterred when you find some things he said here are inaccurate. I pray you have a gratifying journey back to God! 👍
For 8 minutes, that was pretty dang good. Sure it wasn’t 100% accurate and he left stuff out. But come on. It was 8 minutes to go over a gazillion pages.
@@DonGanja13 An average book is not 1500 pages. How many books have you read that long? An average book is probably 200 to 300 pages or so. I may have read a few 500 pages but not many. I've read many books that were only a hundred pages or so.

Thank you for distilling a long and complicated history into an understandable scaffold upon which detailed knowledge can be attached. It was a worthwhile effort and is appreciated.
The area you refer to as Palestine wasn't called that until after the timeline you are talking about. It was called Canaan before it was Israel and Judah.

Same here. I watched mainly to see if he would cover the more obscure books of the OT or not, and he did. His presentation of the story line of the OT was clear and concise. And, like you said, the animation/production quality is excellent. Informative without being preachy.
Well, I'm an atheist and I agree but I don't agree with the chronology. According to the video, Genesis and Noah's ark happen, then Job. Any rational person, including many Biblical scholars will tell you that Job was written before any of the books of the Bible but that doesn't work with their narrative that Genesis and Noah's ark were actual historical events. That kind of thinking is dangerous.
@Paul TheSkeptic: I think you're looking at this from a different perspective than this video's intent. The purpose of the video isn't to critique or even analyse the OT, but just to present its contents very concisely. i.e. from what it says itself, not from what scholars say about it. It's true that the Bible doesn't actually specify where Job fits in the narrative and so he depends on scholars, but in order to present the OT _as it presents itself_, it's legitimate to analyse it from its own content, which apparently places him after The Flood and before Moses. _When_ it was written doesn't actually matter here. But "somewhere during this time is when scholars believe that the story of Job takes place. Now we aren't exactly sure about the timing..." In 8 minutes, he could hardly go into a critical analysis of why different scholars place Job in different time periods, let alone when the book was written!
I thought this was really well done - thanks so much for the time and effort this took - especially the video production - props to animation department - great job syncing everything
I actually appreciate how this was more of a secular history lesson, giving broad strokes and historical context. It's hard to jump into these topics without getting drowned is quotes from the scripture, moral lessons, and theological discussions made about the book rather than its actual contents.
@@AaronMcDaid It’s a shame that it is almost impossible to find good, objective material on the contents of the Bible without it getting hung up on a bunch of tangents.
@@AaronMcDaid same here! But I seem to get more hate from athiests than theists in this regard lol. I definitely like the philosophy part but more into the psychological aspect of it
@@janach1305 I get both but admittedly I am using the word "hate" more colloquial than anything because of course it's not actual "hate" but I would definitely say it crosses the line of a simple disagreement. Often it leads to unfounded and inaccurate insults. The best comparison I could make is when I say something not fully supportive of Biden and I start getting personal insults that indicate that the person went through the trouble of going through my profile or I will get people trashing Trump as an attempt to insult me and vise versa. I will say this though. The athiest communities that I have interacted with are not really at all what I expected. When I became an atheist I became much more open to the possibility of certain view points as valid. After all how can you even really defend your point if you don't have an intimate understanding of the other views, but then again it has become very obvious that I don't have the same thinking patterns as the average person of any group I have encountered.
I was working on a Timeline to teach in Malawi next week and I thought; maybe I can find a video on RUclips that will explain well the Overview with pictures.... So I found your video... Thanks a lot. I'm missionary in South Africa and we teach leaders in the poor communities across the board, it will help a lot now in Malawi. Thanks...
This is Karen using Erwin’s phone. I like your summary because it’s short enough for a person to see all of the historical progression. I also like the way you connect the prophets to the relevant era and/or kingdom. Thanks to people like you and the Bible Project I am no longer afraid to pick up my Bible and open to any page and just enjoy the stories and soak up the history. Thank you for your well-constructed presentation!
RIO Lana To be clear: He explained the timeline not what is in it. If you mean that then the Timeline for the NT is only 2 min starting maybe around 12 bc until say 150 ac with the last letter of Peter.
If I may be so bold........ purchase a "daily" reader bible in chronological order. I did that but got confused and frankly a little bored with the section of the old testament as there are a LOT of moving parts ( videos like this help a lot) . Once you get to the new testament and the birth, life, death & resurrection of the living Jesus Christ, these are the most incredible teachings you will ever have read and your life will be changed forever. Trust me you do not want a "short" video of this.
Thank you so very much, that was wonderful, as a good start, or as background, depending on how one is able to enjoy your efforts here. Thank you, again!
I am doing a study on Hebrews from a messianic Jewish viewpoint. This video has helped immensely as it is difficult to understand the OT references in Hebrews w/o understanding the timeline and events. Thank you.
Thanks MC for giving an overview of the Old Testament of the Holy Bible. It's very clear and easily understandable. Please make more great videos like this one and upload onto the yutube. God will bless you, thanks.
I think you did a good job. It's silly for some people to be upset with you for not "unpacking" all the Old Testament understanding. I understand what you did was a simple introductory and if you chose to want to unpack the Old Test. then you would have simply done so in a longer video. Haters gonna hate.
Then change the title of the video. There. Problem solved. Cause this video was more like a recap of what DANIEL wrote concerning the invasion of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome. By no means does this even come close to detailing the OT. Not even close! And the 12 sons of Jacob are NOT the 12 Tribes of Israel. Joseph and Levi did NOT get a tribal inheritance. Joseph was already a prince and Levi got the priesthood. They were replaced by Joseph's two sons - Ephraim and Manasseh. So it is 10 sons of Jacob and 2 grandsons of Jacob who make up the "12 Tribes of Israel". Also, Joshua did NOT lead Israel "back" to the Promised Land. They were never there to begin with, so they weren't going "back." Funny. Not even at the 3 minute mark and errors... Nice … for children, or the newest of converts. Certainly not for the spiritually mature. Milk is for milk drinkers. Meat if for those beyond the years of spiritual/Biblical immaturity. Those of us who were born in the fire CANNOT live in the smoke!
Freedom from oppression well... "Jews out of Palestine" is, in my opinion, over generalizing, especially that there were already Jews in Palestine (and the middle East in general by the way) before the occupation . Hating Israel as in the occupying state is one thing (which I understand because of obvious reasons) ...but overgeneralizing to extend it to a whole religion is problematic. Even though the occupation used religion to justify their cruel doings, it's clear that it's a front. The occupying forces actually torture Jews who are against joining their army and things like drinking alcohol and working Saturdays which according to them is against the religion that the occupation claims is the reason why they have the right to do what they do.
@@guylocation9823 Palestine is the name given to the region. "Israel" is the people of God, the jews rejected the Messiah, therefore they are not longer God's people and the new covenant is given to those who accepted Our Lord Christ. The land is irrelevant, and the jews lost it to pay for their sins. Diferent people had populated the area for almost 2000 years, what we call palestinians are the descendants of this people. Ethnic arabs, muslim majority but a significative amount of arab christians and mizrahim jews. European jews, almost al descendants of converse have no bussiness in he Middle East. By the way, the Messiah they are waiting is the Antichrist, but you won't know the difference because you are a heretic piece of garbage.
shiroesta Grasshopper, when you have mastered the Old Testament, you will understand the New much better! “The New Testament is enfolded in the Old Testament, and the Old Testament is unfolded in the New Testament.” ☝🏼😬 ✝️
@@MarkFilipAnthony *did mean books a millennial ago. Don't be a smart arse, you know what was ment. It now means; fictional, far fetched fantasy universe, series, saga. I prefer space operas myself. More realistic.
@Bob Ross you can blame the church for that. They should of thought of a better name for their release. Joking aside, I've never heard a person talk of there collection of BOOKS, or buying a BOOK, as a Bible. So to answer your question, I don't know when, bit it was long ago.
@@StephenButlerOne Except you're conveniently missing the part where several renowned secular ancient historians accredit the history of the Bible as true. Then there are our modern day scholars, archaeologists, and historians who find the events to be true accounts and the texts to be authentic. It's a mighty bold dogma to claim it all to be fantasy. Especially if you're to suggest darwinistic evolution to be "science" or "fact". You haven't done so yet, but I'm making a wager. The exact "science" that deliberately drops the "theory" part of the name and is proclaimed by confirmed bribed "scientists" and nominal, uncertified experts to be fact so that the masses will follow. It's a tired old suggestion, but perhaps do some research to support your claims?
I am teaching through the book of Isaiah at our church and needed some historical context. Your video really helped me a lot. I really like how simple and clear your presentation was. God bless you for what you do.
This was incredible. I definitely didn’t think I would learn anything, having been through the Tanakh so many times, but I was wrong. I’ll definitely revisit this video. Thanks!
This was awesome! I wish it was just a little more detailed. I would pay money for a 1 hour more in depth version of this. I'm very visual. So this was super helpful! Thanks for making this!
Pretty nice and concise. I liked the visuals to go with it. Only issue was the vocals. Sounded a bit like speaking in a hall. Thank you for also including to the birth.

This was well put together and very helpful. I have never understood the divided kingdom before. Your visuals made it very easy to follow.

The new testament should be read in its entierty as thats all relevant to us, because Jesus is the way, life and the truth. AMEN in Jesus Christ we trust.

@@DonCornelius366 There is much to learn even for the most informed believer. All people are at different levels of their development whether they be Christian or otherwise. This video was not intended to go over every detail but provide an oversight for those that may not have a deep understanding of the chronology. With that said, you are correct about the 12 tribes and the inclusion of Ephraim and Manasseh to make up the remaining two. But you are incorrect about Joshua and the 'returning' back to the promise land. Please remember that during the famine in Joseph's time, they left the land of Canaan before going to Egypt. After many generations of being in Egypt, they eventually returned to Canaan which was then the 'promised land' that was occupied by different peoples at that time.

Totally amazing that you could do this in 8 minutes and include so many of the essentials. I have only one major correction. The Assyrians did not deport all of the people of the Northern Kingdom (Israel), nor did the Babylonians deport all the people of the Southern Kingdom (Judah). They deported the elite, who were the custodians of the tradition. Those who stayed behind from the Northern Kingdom, capital Samaria, became the Samaritans, who had mixed both physically and religiously with others who came into the area. These became the despised Samaritans of the New Testament era. That is the only point on which you risk generating confusion.
Ivor McNamara Until July 17th 1999 @ 10:30am I thought much the same as you do now. I have been where you are, but you have no idea of what it's like where I am.
+Ivor McNamara Hello, I have a few comments I would like to make on this if that is ok. I have been studying Christianity for the past 3 years as an agnostic. I have since found just how correct and accurate the Bible really is with science. 1. The only form of Evolution that has any scientific fact to it is micro evolution (minor feature change), However macro evolution (ape to human) does not have enough data to support its claims. 2. You are correct in that we have evidence of the Big Bang, but think about this if there was a Big Bang, it means there was a beginning of space and time, if that is true, there has to be a causal agent beyond space and time (God). Therefore, the bible described the Big Bang thousands of years ago "In the begging God created the heavens and the earth" 3. You are also correct about humans living on earth around 100,000 years ago. The Bible does not contradict this. I would like to ask how you believe that Adam and Eve are scientifically impossible?
Please don’t take my comments as “criticism”. I’ve been studying the Bible for over a half century and if I were to attempt to do an overview of the Hebrew Bible in 8 minutes, I’d need to spend at least a couple of weeks reviewing what I’ve already learned. Even then, I probably couldn’t do a better job. One of the promises to Abraham was that he would be the father of many nations. (Genesis 17:5) Given that the land between the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba has been called the “Sinai peninsula” for many hundreds of years and that there is a mountain there that has been called “Sinai” for a similarly long time, many people have failed to consider the biblical evidence (Galatians 4:25) that the location of the giving of the law was in Arabia (i.e. between the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf). Many people don’t know that there is a mountain there that, as of a few decades ago, was referred to by local Bedouins as “Moses’ Mountain”. (Not critical to understanding the message of the Bible but if the Israelites were camped in Arabia at the time of the giving of the law, it lends credence to the biblical narrative that the Red Sea drowned the Egyptian army. I’ll try to find some related evidence if anyone is interested.) Ruth wasn’t Jewish. At least she wasn't a descendent of Judah. But, given that Israelites were not allowed to marry non-Israelites, Ruth, who was born a Moabites, became an Israelite by the decision she stated in Ruth 1: 176 & 17, “Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, I will die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.” Nickodemus seems to have been acquainted with the doctrine that people who weren’t born from Hebrew lineage had to be born again, as was Ruth, in order to be Israelites. What he hadbn’t considered before his famous night visit with Jesus was that even people who were born of Hebrew lineage needed to be born again in order to be part of true Israel.* One of the things that I failed to understand until after studying the Bible for at least a couple of decades is the “division of the kingdom” after the reign of Solomon. An understanding of the subject as presented in this video could help a lot of people avoid some of the misconceptions that exist today about the use of the words, “Israel” and “Judah”. Many people fail to realize that, “Israel” is the new name the given to Abraham’s grandson, Jacob (Genesis 32) and that the word, “Jew”, is derived from the name of Abraham’s great-grandson, Judah. Thus, for example, Moses was an “Israelite” in the sense of being descended from Israel (Jacob) but was of the tribe of Levi and thus not a “Jew” in the sense of being physically descended from Judah. (I’m not sure that the Babylonian kingdom deported ALL of the Jews from the southern kingdom of Judah to Babylon but maybe that detail isn’t very important.) Ever since about the middle of the twentieth century, most Christians (in the U.S. at least), if they have “studied” Bible prophecy at all have only studied what futurist commentators have written about it. Futurism and the “gap” theory to explain the prophecy of Daniel 8 & 9 was virtually unknown among protestants in the United States before the twentieth century, however. The date, 538 BC mentioned in this video (“from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem”) was important to Bible students before the twentieth century because most of them (in the U.S. at least) used the older historicist method of Bible interpretation as the starting point for the 70 weeks prophecy. It is also worth noting that at least some of the “restoration” prophecies can be understood as having been fulfilled in the days of Zerubbabel Ezra and Nehemiah. One final note about this excellent overview of the Hebrew Bible: For old codgers like myself, I wouldn't have been able to follow this rapid-fire presentation if I wasn't already acquainted with biblical history. *And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: Matthew 8:11 & 12 My kingdom is not of this world. John 18:36 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. Romans 4:13 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. Galatians 3:9 And if ye be Christ’s then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3:29
SentByHim, You seem to be responding to the first paragraph of my post. I wonder, however whether you read the rest of my post and, if so, whether you are acquainted with the method of Bible interpretation based on the history and principles that most people don’t understand because they haven’t really even read--much less studied--the earlier parts of the Bible. Either way, have you considered the possibility that the promises made to Abraham, Isaac and Israel will be fulfilled to or through the people who are children of Abraham through faith? Hebrews can be part of true Israel by being born again. I hope and pray that as many of them as possible will study their Bibles (their Hebrew Bibles) so they will be able to understand how Jesus fulfilled many of the messianic prophecies at his first advent and, perhaps, also understand that his kingdom is not of this world.
Excellent video my friend! Too many young/new Christians, and even older Christians, fall victim to neglecting the Old Testament, it’s a travesty of our faith, it makes it even more difficult for them to understand God.
The Bible is the story of Yahweh's fulfilled plan of redemption given exclusively to ancient Israelites cursed with the Old Covenant Law of sin and death and pertains to no one alive today. Today's wannabe "christians" have been duped into believing a misappropriated redemptive narrative that appeared soon after AD 70 and it's been a circus of error ever since. Isn't it time to stop pretending to be an ancient Israelite? ~Michael Bradley
Very good presentation for that interesting history. I look forward to the new testament, just out of curiosity as I am interested in the old old history of the earth. I am Muslim btw.
Look up these videos called the Bible project it breaks down EVERYTHING from Old Testament and New Testament and it got pictures so u can easily understand it better... it helped me understand that tha Old Testament is basically about how God created the earth an sin came into play and God chose this one nation named Israel to be his FIRSTBORN SON. You’ll notice this nation was a wicked selfish greedy stubborn “kid”... he always broke the rules... ALWAYS!!!! but God still loved this son “Israel”
Erm quick question, would you ever forget those part of the story. If not, then the presenter did a great job at helping you memories the history. Association helps you to memories easier.
Correction: The area was NOT named Palestine until well after the time that this narrative calls it Palestine. It was first named Filistina by the Romans after the long gone Philistines, to hopefully erase the memory of the conquered Jews. After more that a few centuries, the name had warped into Palestine. In the 1960'sAD the arabs who lived in this region voted(!) to call themselves "Palestinians".
Very good! I am reading Joshua at this time. Did you know? God also parted the river Jordan for the children of Israel to pass over after Moses died. All of the bible has so much to take in and memorize but it is the Holy Ghost that brings it to mind when needed. Praise God & I enjoyed your video!
As many of you have noted, I incorrectly and offhandedly referred to Canaan/Israel as Palestine twice in this video. It was a simple, honest mistake. The correct choice would have been Canaan.
I appreciate the kind-hearted feedback from some. For the rest of you, chill out and stop accusing people on the internet of supporting terrorists.

If you want reasoned answers to issues regarding Atheism vs. Theism (and Christianity) go to www.getgodhelp.com The website is a bit primitive but the information is great.
Same here. I watched mainly to see if he would cover the more obscure books of the OT or not, and he did. His presentation of the story line of the OT was clear and concise. And, like you said, the animation/production quality is excellent. Informative without being preachy.
To Brambie451: Take a look at the website www.getgodhelp.com I think it will stimulate your curiosity
Well, I'm an atheist and I agree but I don't agree with the chronology. According to the video, Genesis and Noah's ark happen, then Job. Any rational person, including many Biblical scholars will tell you that Job was written before any of the books of the Bible but that doesn't work with their narrative that Genesis and Noah's ark were actual historical events. That kind of thinking is dangerous.
@Paul TheSkeptic: I think you're looking at this from a different perspective than this video's intent. The purpose of the video isn't to critique or even analyse the OT, but just to present its contents very concisely. i.e. from what it says itself, not from what scholars say about it. It's true that the Bible doesn't actually specify where Job fits in the narrative and so he depends on scholars, but in order to present the OT _as it presents itself_, it's legitimate to analyse it from its own content, which apparently places him after The Flood and before Moses. _When_ it was written doesn't actually matter here. But "somewhere during this time is when scholars believe that the story of Job takes place. Now we aren't exactly sure about the timing..." In 8 minutes, he could hardly go into a critical analysis of why different scholars place Job in different time periods, let alone when the book was written!
I thought this was really well done - thanks so much for the time and effort this took - especially the video production - props to animation department - great job syncing everything
3:15 the illustration for judges was the best!
For 8 minutes, this is really good and helpful for understanding!
I actually appreciate how this was more of a secular history lesson, giving broad strokes and historical context. It's hard to jump into these topics without getting drowned is quotes from the scripture, moral lessons, and theological discussions made about the book rather than its actual contents.
Yep. I'm an atheist, and I really liked this video. I'm curious about philosophy and religion, but I don't like videos that are too preachy!
@@AaronMcDaid It’s a shame that it is almost impossible to find good, objective material on the contents of the Bible without it getting hung up on a bunch of tangents.
@@AaronMcDaid same here! But I seem to get more hate from athiests than theists in this regard lol. I definitely like the philosophy part but more into the psychological aspect of it
@@stevenmanwaring8943 Are you actually getting hate from atheists, or simply disagreement? They are not the same thing.
@@janach1305 I get both but admittedly I am using the word "hate" more colloquial than anything because of course it's not actual "hate" but I would definitely say it crosses the line of a simple disagreement. Often it leads to unfounded and inaccurate insults. The best comparison I could make is when I say something not fully supportive of Biden and I start getting personal insults that indicate that the person went through the trouble of going through my profile or I will get people trashing Trump as an attempt to insult me and vise versa. I will say this though. The athiest communities that I have interacted with are not really at all what I expected. When I became an atheist I became much more open to the possibility of certain view points as valid. After all how can you even really defend your point if you don't have an intimate understanding of the other views, but then again it has become very obvious that I don't have the same thinking patterns as the average person of any group I have encountered.
I was working on a Timeline to teach in Malawi next week and I thought; maybe I can find a video on RUclips that will explain well the Overview with pictures.... So I found your video...
Thanks a lot. I'm missionary in South Africa and we teach leaders in the poor communities across the board, it will help a lot now in Malawi. Thanks...
How is ur conversion business going on?
This is a FANTASTIC overview!!!!! Well done, thank you for posting it.
I thank you for the video and the timeline. I've printed copies for my family as well. I appreciate your work, and bless you and yours.
This was a fantastic narrative of the chronology of the Old Testament. Thank you!
This is Karen using Erwin’s phone. I like your summary because it’s short enough for a person to see all of the historical progression. I also like the way you connect the prophets to the relevant era and/or kingdom. Thanks to people like you and the Bible Project I am no longer afraid to pick up my Bible and open to any page and just enjoy the stories and soak up the history. Thank you for your well-constructed presentation!
Why would you use someone else’s phone?
Your explanation on Old Testament was brilliant..
I need for New Testament too
RIO Lana To be clear: He explained the timeline not what is in it. If you mean that then the Timeline for the NT is only 2 min starting maybe around 12 bc until say 150 ac with the last letter of Peter.
If you like short, clear, explainer videos, try The Bible Project channel.
Game changers!
If you wanna learn about revelation check out truth unedited channel
If I may be so bold........ purchase a "daily" reader bible in chronological order. I did that but got confused and frankly a little bored with the section of the old testament as there are a LOT of moving parts ( videos like this help a lot) . Once you get to the new testament and the birth, life, death & resurrection of the living Jesus Christ, these are the most incredible teachings you will ever have read and your life will be changed forever. Trust me you do not want a "short" video of this.
Why don't you read the bible then bc not everything they say is true
Thank you so very much, that was wonderful, as a good start, or as background, depending on how one is able to enjoy your efforts here. Thank you, again!
Really really great stuff...you guys realized the pain and confusion of the readers and came up with this explanation...hats off
Thank you, that was a great overview of the OT.
I am doing a study on Hebrews from a messianic Jewish viewpoint. This video has helped immensely as it is difficult to understand the OT references in Hebrews w/o understanding the timeline and events. Thank you.
Thank you. That put a lot of things into perspective.
Thanks MC for giving an overview of the Old Testament of the Holy Bible. It's very clear and easily understandable. Please make more great videos like this one and upload onto the yutube. God will bless you, thanks.
I think you did a good job. It's silly for some people to be upset with you for not "unpacking" all the Old Testament understanding. I understand what you did was a simple introductory and if you chose to want to unpack the Old Test. then you would have simply done so in a longer video. Haters gonna hate.
Then change the title of the video. There. Problem solved. Cause this video was more like a recap of what DANIEL wrote concerning the invasion of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome. By no means does this even come close to detailing the OT. Not even close!
And the 12 sons of Jacob are NOT the 12 Tribes of Israel. Joseph and Levi did NOT get a tribal inheritance. Joseph was already a prince and Levi got the priesthood. They were replaced by Joseph's two sons - Ephraim and Manasseh. So it is 10 sons of Jacob and 2 grandsons of Jacob who make up the "12 Tribes of Israel".
Also, Joshua did NOT lead Israel "back" to the Promised Land. They were never there to begin with, so they weren't going "back."
Funny. Not even at the 3 minute mark and errors...
Nice … for children, or the newest of converts. Certainly not for the spiritually mature. Milk is for milk drinkers. Meat if for those beyond the years of spiritual/Biblical immaturity. Those of us who were born in the fire CANNOT live in the smoke!
Could you do a similar compilation on the New Testament.... Please. 😀
Freedom from oppression well... "Jews out of Palestine" is, in my opinion, over generalizing, especially that there were already Jews in Palestine (and the middle East in general by the way) before the occupation . Hating Israel as in the occupying state is one thing (which I understand because of obvious reasons) ...but overgeneralizing to extend it to a whole religion is problematic. Even though the occupation used religion to justify their cruel doings, it's clear that it's a front. The occupying forces actually torture Jews who are against joining their army and things like drinking alcohol and working Saturdays which according to them is against the religion that the occupation claims is the reason why they have the right to do what they do.
@@guylocation9823 Palestine is the name given to the region. "Israel" is the people of God, the jews rejected the Messiah, therefore they are not longer God's people and the new covenant is given to those who accepted Our Lord Christ. The land is irrelevant, and the jews lost it to pay for their sins. Diferent people had populated the area for almost 2000 years, what we call palestinians are the descendants of this people. Ethnic arabs, muslim majority but a significative amount of arab christians and mizrahim jews. European jews, almost al descendants of converse have no bussiness in he Middle East. By the way, the Messiah they are waiting is the Antichrist, but you won't know the difference because you are a heretic piece of garbage.
Pls do for New Testament
@@selfdestruct88 bravo and amen!

Grasshopper, when you have mastered the Old Testament, you will understand the New much better! “The New Testament is enfolded in the Old Testament, and the Old Testament is unfolded in the New Testament.” ☝🏼😬 ✝️
Can't get enough of this. This is remarkable.
God bless you for this quick overview!
Thank you for presenting this in a clear way.
So many books in this series. The author was really cranking these out.
bible means 'books' so clearly several authors had to be behind it
@@MarkFilipAnthony *did mean books a millennial ago. Don't be a smart arse, you know what was ment.
It now means; fictional, far fetched fantasy universe, series, saga.
I prefer space operas myself. More realistic.
@Bob Ross you can blame the church for that. They should of thought of a better name for their release.
Joking aside, I've never heard a person talk of there collection of BOOKS, or buying a BOOK, as a Bible. So to answer your question, I don't know when, bit it was long ago.
Old Testament? The only Testament.
@@StephenButlerOne Except you're conveniently missing the part where several renowned secular ancient historians accredit the history of the Bible as true. Then there are our modern day scholars, archaeologists, and historians who find the events to be true accounts and the texts to be authentic. It's a mighty bold dogma to claim it all to be fantasy. Especially if you're to suggest darwinistic evolution to be "science" or "fact". You haven't done so yet, but I'm making a wager. The exact "science" that deliberately drops the "theory" part of the name and is proclaimed by confirmed bribed "scientists" and nominal, uncertified experts to be fact so that the masses will follow. It's a tired old suggestion, but perhaps do some research to support your claims?
I am teaching through the book of Isaiah at our church and needed some historical context. Your video really helped me a lot. I really like how simple and clear your presentation was. God bless you for what you do.
This was incredible. I definitely didn’t think I would learn anything, having been through the Tanakh so many times, but I was wrong. I’ll definitely revisit this video. Thanks!
Very informative. Thanks you sir for the video. I learn very important history about OT.
Nice job guys! Easy to understand, clear and very well animated!
Suggest use a lapela mic..
Love from Brazil!
Thanks you so much for this overview of old testament. It's so informative. May God bless you
Thanks, a real eye opener and down to earth, plain talk version of the Old Testament🙏🏾
This was awesome! I wish it was just a little more detailed. I would pay money for a 1 hour more in depth version of this. I'm very visual. So this was super helpful! Thanks for making this!
You could try The Bible Project for a bit more detail and it is also visual with drawing as it goes.
Pretty nice and concise. I liked the visuals to go with it. Only issue was the vocals. Sounded a bit like speaking in a hall. Thank you for also including to the birth.
Beautiful.. thank you for breaking it down. Great job💯
Just what we need. Thank you for such a concise video!
Wow, Thankyou, 👏👍, I have started reading my Bible this is going to help. God bless.
“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”
Thanks, that is truly helpful. your a blessing to many people! Keep doing what God wants you to.
Yes, god wants no peace only war, doesn't care who dies.. idiots
Thank you for uploading the video.It's very helpful to know an overview in just 8 minutes.God bless
Beautifully designed narrative and the flow chart was great.
You guys are awesome! Great videos! Thank you and God Bless!
This was so helpful!
Thank you for this video and all the work you did to put it together
Very enlightening, will listen again to have it sink in.
Thank you.
That was Phenomenally presented.😀👍
thank u so much for this video it helps me alot i m muslim and trying to understand the history and oldtestament
potato potatopotato thanks,i will definitely go for it..
Histhelo sogijc, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
True? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! no.
Living? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! never.
You're dishonest, a liar, as evident by your previous posts that remain unsubstantiated.
Why are we talking about which God is true. No religion can prove the other is wrong. All religions are man made. They're used to control people.
Histhelo sogijc, you are a liar and you know you're a liar, that is why you can't substantiate anything you say.
If there was a God, he'd probably call your lying a sin, but you're not worried because you know there is no reason to think there is any God.
Histhelo sogijc, but atleast we're not dishonest like you are. You lack morals.
Thank you very much for making this video. Gives me a new way to study the Word of God.
An EXCELLENT overview! Thanks so much.
Good stuff

@@StuartFuckingLittle your thinking of Chuck from supernatural
Good God stuff. This kid knows his stuff. Smart guy! Great speaker... He picked the background music, funny graphics, had no lap mic and probably never guessed his video would remain on top of RUclips for search for "Old Testament review" How come no competitors? For the world best selling book-- seems to be a lot of room for more people with even greater presentations and production value.
Thx
More correctly it's called the Tanahk and it's broken down into 3 parts
Torah - 5 books of Moses
Neviim- the prophets
Ketuvim- the writings
Torah translates to mean instructions. Shalom/Peace
This is quite a research I was doing in recent days! Thanks for the added info!!!
This was well put together and very helpful. I have never understood the divided kingdom before. Your visuals made it very easy to follow. I didn't know some prophets were from the north and some from the south. When is the N.T. coming? Great job and thanks for putting the time into doing this. You are ministering to many people thru this video. (Sharon)
The new testament should be read in its entierty as thats all relevant to us, because Jesus is the way, life and the truth. AMEN in Jesus Christ we trust.
The Israelites’ journey should’ve only taken 11 days; but they decided to complain and murmur the entire time ... making it last 40 years.

@@DonCornelius366 this video is 8 minute telling of the entire old testament. You wasn't expecting meat I hope.
@@DonCornelius366 There is much to learn even for the most informed believer. All people are at different levels of their development whether they be Christian or otherwise. This video was not intended to go over every detail but provide an oversight for those that may not have a deep understanding of the chronology.
With that said, you are correct about the 12 tribes and the inclusion of Ephraim and Manasseh to make up the remaining two. But you are incorrect about Joshua and the 'returning' back to the promise land. Please remember that during the famine in Joseph's time, they left the land of Canaan before going to Egypt. After many generations of being in Egypt, they eventually returned to Canaan which was then the 'promised land' that was occupied by different peoples at that time.
Wow!!!!!!!!! Learned a lot from this. Thanks for making this awesome summary. A great help for me in understanding the deepness of the Bible
Wow so blessed by this, thank you!

Totally amazing that you could do this in 8 minutes and include so many of the essentials. I have only one major correction. The Assyrians did not deport all of the people of the Northern Kingdom (Israel), nor did the Babylonians deport all the people of the Southern Kingdom (Judah). They deported the elite, who were the custodians of the tradition. Those who stayed behind from the Northern Kingdom, capital Samaria, became the Samaritans, who had mixed both physically and religiously with others who came into the area. These became the despised Samaritans of the New Testament era. That is the only point on which you risk generating confusion.
This was very helpful! Thank you for making this video!
Wonderful easy to understand summary thankyou for all your time and effort to make this video.
When a person is truly converted they have an insatiable hunger for the scriptures.
Ivor McNamara Until July 17th 1999 @ 10:30am I thought much the same as you do now. I have been where you are, but you have no idea of what it's like where I am.
Ivor McNamara You were a christian by name, but not by regeneration.
Ivor McNamara I never read beyond three lines when the content is boring, predictable and ignorant.
Ivor McNamara There is nothing that you have to say that I want to hear. There is nothing I have to say that you could hear.
+Ivor McNamara Hello, I have a few comments I would like to make on this if that is ok. I have been studying Christianity for the past 3 years as an agnostic. I have since found just how correct and accurate the Bible really is with science. 1. The only form of Evolution that has any scientific fact to it is micro evolution (minor feature change), However macro evolution (ape to human) does not have enough data to support its claims. 2. You are correct in that we have evidence of the Big Bang, but think about this if there was a Big Bang, it means there was a beginning of space and time, if that is true, there has to be a causal agent beyond space and time (God). Therefore, the bible described the Big Bang thousands of years ago "In the begging God created the heavens and the earth" 3. You are also correct about humans living on earth around 100,000 years ago. The Bible does not contradict this. I would like to ask how you believe that Adam and Eve are scientifically impossible?
Good job in 8 minutes.
This is interesting, I enjoy learning about different religions and this helped. Thanks :)
Thank you for uploading the video it's very useful . God bless 😊
_Wow! Wish I could memorise all that._ TᕼᗩᑎK YOᑌ‼️
Please don’t take my comments as “criticism”. I’ve been studying the Bible for over a half century and if I were to attempt to do an overview of the Hebrew Bible in 8 minutes, I’d need to spend at least a couple of weeks reviewing what I’ve already learned. Even then, I probably couldn’t do a better job.
One of the promises to Abraham was that he would be the father of many nations. (Genesis 17:5)
Given that the land between the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba has been called the “Sinai peninsula” for many hundreds of years and that there is a mountain there that has been called “Sinai” for a similarly long time, many people have failed to consider the biblical evidence (Galatians 4:25) that the location of the giving of the law was in Arabia (i.e. between the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf). Many people don’t know that there is a mountain there that, as of a few decades ago, was referred to by local Bedouins as “Moses’ Mountain”. (Not critical to understanding the message of the Bible but if the Israelites were camped in Arabia at the time of the giving of the law, it lends credence to the biblical narrative that the Red Sea drowned the Egyptian army. I’ll try to find some related evidence if anyone is interested.)
Ruth wasn’t Jewish. At least she wasn't a descendent of Judah. But, given that Israelites were not allowed to marry non-Israelites, Ruth, who was born a Moabites, became an Israelite by the decision she stated in Ruth 1: 176 & 17, “Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, I will die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.”
Nickodemus seems to have been acquainted with the doctrine that people who weren’t born from Hebrew lineage had to be born again, as was Ruth, in order to be Israelites. What he hadbn’t considered before his famous night visit with Jesus was that even people who were born of Hebrew lineage needed to be born again in order to be part of true Israel.*
One of the things that I failed to understand until after studying the Bible for at least a couple of decades is the “division of the kingdom” after the reign of Solomon. An understanding of the subject as presented in this video could help a lot of people avoid some of the misconceptions that exist today about the use of the words, “Israel” and “Judah”. Many people fail to realize that, “Israel” is the new name the given to Abraham’s grandson, Jacob (Genesis 32) and that the word, “Jew”, is derived from the name of Abraham’s great-grandson, Judah. Thus, for example, Moses was an “Israelite” in the sense of being descended from Israel (Jacob) but was of the tribe of Levi and thus not a “Jew” in the sense of being physically descended from Judah. (I’m not sure that the Babylonian kingdom deported ALL of the Jews from the southern kingdom of Judah to Babylon but maybe that detail isn’t very important.)
Ever since about the middle of the twentieth century, most Christians (in the U.S. at least), if they have “studied” Bible prophecy at all have only studied what futurist commentators have written about it. Futurism and the “gap” theory to explain the prophecy of Daniel 8 & 9 was virtually unknown among protestants in the United States before the twentieth century, however. The date, 538 BC mentioned in this video (“from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem”) was important to Bible students before the twentieth century because most of them (in the U.S. at least) used the older historicist method of Bible interpretation as the starting point for the 70 weeks prophecy.
It is also worth noting that at least some of the “restoration” prophecies can be understood as having been fulfilled in the days of Zerubbabel Ezra and Nehemiah.
One final note about this excellent overview of the Hebrew Bible: For old codgers like myself, I wouldn't have been able to follow this rapid-fire presentation if I wasn't already acquainted with biblical history.
*And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: Matthew 8:11 & 12 My kingdom is not of this world. John 18:36 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. Romans 4:13 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. Galatians 3:9 And if ye be Christ’s then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3:29
I've been studying, teaching, and preaching since 1988, and I don't think I could have either.
SentByHim, You seem to be responding to the first paragraph of my post. I wonder, however whether you read the rest of my post and, if so, whether you are acquainted with the method of Bible interpretation based on the history and principles that most people don’t understand because they haven’t really even read--much less studied--the earlier parts of the Bible.
Either way, have you considered the possibility that the promises made to Abraham, Isaac and Israel will be fulfilled to or through the people who are children of Abraham through faith?
Hebrews can be part of true Israel by being born again. I hope and pray that as many of them as possible will study their Bibles (their Hebrew Bibles) so they will be able to understand how Jesus fulfilled many of the messianic prophecies at his first advent and, perhaps, also understand that his kingdom is not of this world.
Ya, you're right I didn't read the rest of it, still haven't, don't plan to.
Mick, Is there one part of humanity that you prefer to hate more than another?
Why?
Roger Metzger Ruth converted. It was the bagels and schmer.

Very helpful. Thank you for the breakdown!
This is great! could you do a new testament video or a book to book video?
Your background music though 😂
Royalty free, there u have it.
Thank you for a quick overview. Well done. I enjoyed that.
Good job! Love the graphics!
Very well done! Goes great with my current reading through my chronological study Bible.
Excellent video my friend! Too many young/new Christians, and even older Christians, fall victim to neglecting the Old Testament, it’s a travesty of our faith, it makes it even more difficult for them to understand God.
The Bible is the story of Yahweh's fulfilled plan of redemption given exclusively to ancient Israelites cursed with the Old Covenant Law of sin and death and pertains to no one alive today.
Today's wannabe "christians" have been duped into believing a misappropriated redemptive narrative that appeared soon after AD 70 and it's been a circus of error ever since. Isn't it time to stop pretending to be an ancient Israelite? ~Michael Bradley
This would be a great template for study and learning scriptural teachings as a basic curriculum of study. A stepping stone, if you will.
Thank you for explaining this in simple words.
Very good presentation for that interesting history. I look forward to the new testament, just out of curiosity as I am interested in the old old history of the earth. I am Muslim btw.
Look up these videos called the Bible project it breaks down EVERYTHING from Old Testament and New Testament and it got pictures so u can easily understand it better... it helped me understand that tha Old Testament is basically about how God created the earth an sin came into play and God chose this one nation named Israel to be his FIRSTBORN SON. You’ll notice this nation was a wicked selfish greedy stubborn “kid”... he always broke the rules... ALWAYS!!!! but God still loved this son “Israel”
Thank you for this overview, I’ve been lost sometimes reading the bible, this video made bible study a lot easier for me, God bless you sir.
He said Palestine 😂
Thanks for the overview… very helpful❤️
Thank you this was so helpful- worthy for a month review.
Good presentation.God bless you son.
Thanks for the overview. I’m still trying to decide if using the Simpson’s and Simon Cowell to depict biblical events is blasphemous. 😋
Erm quick question, would you ever forget those part of the story. If not, then the presenter did a great job at helping you memories the history. Association helps you to memories easier.
It is blasphemous. Such matters should be taken very seriously!
I agree with u i dont like when he simpson n simon
Not exactly blasphemous since Adam and Eve aren't divine
Rebecca Cremo Lol I would just say to be aware of the deception within their narratives and know that the Bible is the ultimate truth 🙌🏼
wow that was both beautiful and amazing, ty for making videos 💗
You're beautiful and amazing!
Amazing... appreciation from South Africa
I exceeded my expectations with this video. I wished it look serious, that Covenant is not always sinonimous of "τεsταmεητ."
Not even close to spelling synonymous right 😂
Correction: The area was NOT named Palestine until well after the time that this narrative calls it Palestine. It was first named Filistina by the Romans after the long gone Philistines, to hopefully erase the memory of the conquered Jews. After more that a few centuries, the name had warped into Palestine. In the 1960'sAD the arabs who lived in this region voted(!) to call themselves "Palestinians".
Thanks for making it so simple to understand. ..God bless
I wish I saw this before I read the old testament! THis is wonderful! praise the Lord
Dude made one video and disappeared.
I know he also made “The New Testament in 10 minutes.”
Very good! I am reading Joshua at this time. Did you know? God also parted the river Jordan for the children of Israel to pass over after Moses died. All of the bible has so much to take in and memorize but it is the Holy Ghost that brings it to mind when needed. Praise God & I enjoyed your video!
Very good overview, thank you .
