Just listen to yourself! You might as well say! " thank you God for brainwashing me, indoctrinating me and giving me Tim to keep brainwashing me in to believing in bull shitting crap! The God by the way is stone age ignirant fairy tales fir adults! Wake up and believe in evidential facts!! Science for one, rational for two, and factual none fiction books for third!
I just realized how lonely it is to be a bible nerd in the mainstream Church-ianity. So... God bless you all whoever watched this video. And thank you, Tim!
I do a ton of studying but tbh all it takes is faith the size of a mustard seed, not a PhD to receive what the scripture says, so at the end of the day it's not important how "nerdy" or "smart" or "educated" we are because the Bible states that God uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise....this is why some fishermen could interpret the Bible better then the educated religious folks of their day.........idk why but I see much "nerd" talk on here and it just feels like a bunch of ppl are wagging their own tails....

My son recommended your podcasts to me. He shared what a good job you do and that you are easy to understand. I acknowledge this as an answer to my recent prayers. Thank you Lord for Tim Mackie. I've been a Christian for many, many years. However, I've never felt comfortable with my ability to share what and why I believe as I do. Your teaching me how to. I'm so grateful. God bless you.
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." - John 16:33
I’m back again Sir Tim .. after 5 years?? I feel nostalgic listening to this again. Lost my way in the journey.. but found the way home. Thank you Sir. Godbless you and your family. May the good Lord protect you and continually motivates you in spreading the Word.
At first, Tim seems so "bookish," a nice guy, but quirky. The lecture is so measured, somewhat simplified, studious, and unassuming, yet certain points hit like a hammer! This is remarkable teaching! Thank you dear Lord for this man and his work!
Thank you for starting the Bible Project! Trying to read and understand by myself I miss so much of the nuances. It's like cooking a meal and forgetting to use salt, pepper or other spices; missing the full flavor. It has helped me understand my journey of being a Christian more rapidly.
Robert breaker is great also not even 10 minutes of one of his videos and the Bible was absolutely so much easier for me to understand I highly recommend checking him out he’s on RUclips
Blostin I do exactly the same thing. There is a resurgence of true enthusiasm for the Word. It is being shared from corner, to corner of the earth. HalleluYah Blessed are those that walk in the name of Yahushua It is worthy of rejoicing over. It is worthy of rejoicing over indeed.
Daymickey I totally enjoy the way he teaches. Amazingly simple and complex at the same time. I continue to learn from his sermons and The Bible Project. He and his work are among the best resources I have found on the internet.
I've learned more from Dr Mackie, Dr Heiser, N. T. Wright , and Gary Habermas on RUclips than I've ever learned in church. Praise God for their generosity in sharing Gods message.
I could watch this a million times. The more geeked out Tim goes, the more excited I get. Thank you on behalf of those who need your ability to break the information down for us. May you get to go back and study until your hearts content. 💕
What an amazing video Tim! Since I found the Bible Project my understanding about the Bible changed so much and also the way I understand and follow Jesus. Everything became less heavy than it use to be and I can say that I am learning for the first time in a much deeper level! God bless you life and all involved in this amazing project!
I am officially a Bible nerd 🤓🤣. 30 years of long documentaries and explanations of the making of the bible. This man in 45 min had the most exciting, clear explanation I've seen. Those documentaries can be brutal and the commercials 😩🤣😂🤣. Totally can tell he's a professor " are you with me", I love how he keeps your attention and feeds into the together we are uncovering something. I got excited with finger print 🤣🙏🏾💖

Thank you Tim for sharing. You are a true vessel the Spirit of God is using to spread the Good News. We appreciate you and your family for sharing you with us. What a blessing you all are!
Tim and associate's, Thank you all for your work and preparation to teach this most excellent study of Life. It has completely inspired me to keep searching for Jesus. 🙏✝💖 🌹 Rosemary Saved by His Grace.
I was with you! :) I knew there were many authors, but in fact there were way more authors and still the Bible is consistent about God, his people and about Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!
Glory to Jesus, it was really clarifying and eye opening for me. From the beginning of my journey with The Bible, I had problems with different translation and I heard a lot about the differences between Antioch and Alexandria's Bible versions. Thank you. Truly Truly His Word is inspired and preserved so that we can believe that Jesus Christ is The Son of God and was crucified on the cross for my iniquity so that I can have Salvation through His Precious Blood.
An avid reader of student of Scripture myself, I've really enjoyed watching the Bible Project's short videos on different books and topics. But really have liked having a great resource to show my wife and daughter. Thank you.
Tim Mackie Archives The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM! Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. RSV Only-monos God-theos Monos theos Monotheism The Father Jesus is the one sent by the true God (the Father)! Jesus never claimed to be God, Jesus said he has a God! Jesus has a God! Jesus died! God can’t die! God raised Jesus from the dead!
@@mitchellc4 You have obviously been falsely indoctrinated by Jehovah Witness cult or some other false teachers or cult. I have members of my family who have been giving over to Satan after rejecting Jesus as fully man and fully God, they now have left jw cult but are worse now they believe in flat earth, new age etc any lie so long as it is not the truth of being reborn of the spirit by trusting in Jesus sarafice alone. I'll say a quick prayer for you that the Blinkers will be lifted from your eyes. The Gospel of John makes its clear who Jesus is, that is fully man while he was on the earth yet fully God eternally in the spirit, salvation is all about our enternal spirit which of course you have been told and have accepted doesn't exist. Give up what you are doing, its no use kicking against the pricks.
Martin Muldoon I am not a JW What verse anywhere says Jesus is fully God and fully man??? Any verses in Matthew Mark or Luke you think say Jesus is God??
@@mitchellc4 yea that is what Jesus Claimed he was God himself, by saying I am, I and the father are one etc. Pharisees picked up stones to stone Jesus, Jesus said "for which of these good works do you stone me?" they replied you being a man you make yourself out to be God". I don't want to debate as I've other more important things to do. I am the Alpha and Omega the one who died and now live.
What a great resource! Tim, thank for being a "Bible Geek"! You have a gift of synthesizing all the doctoral platitudes into insightful and easy to understand points. May the LORD continue to grow in your faith as you help others with theirs.
Dog, you're they only person that has every really taught me the correct meanings of the Bible. I dig your personality and down-to-earthness. I also love the fact that you're a skater, cause I was when I was younger too. There's so many false prophets out there, so obviously I don't feel them. I respect you cause you're real homie, and real recognize real, know that. Peace, and God bless bruh. Keep it up for people like myself because we really need you. ✌️

What this Weirdness means to most people: Netflix binging and panic buying. What it means to me: Let's dive deep into the Bible Project and all the Tim Mackie archives.
Honestly, Tim is the person who helped me get closer to God a year ago and gave me confidence that faith and reason go hand in hand. He has brought me so close to God, and I am thankful for that. Excellent work!
Dr. Tim. I'm so glad I happened upon this video in my search for material on how the scriptures were constructed. I was captivated by your presentation. Your passion for this is contagious. You're brilliant and articulate. Thank you for your commitment and enthusiasm. The Lord bless you and keep you.
When Tim showed the artifact of Buruk my jaw dropped?!!! So fascinating how God uses people for his purpose! Glory to God for life on earth! Praise God.
This was amazing. It just makes it that much more simple to understand and believe. It comes down to you either believe or you don’t. Everyone is going to have an excuse as to why they don’t believe. Or not liking how God handled things. At the end of the day God is God and you either believe or you don’t. It’s amazing how it all comes together
Pastor Tim gives excellent presentations! In-depth, intelligent and humerous. The Bible from a perspective totally different from a usual Sunday sermon. I'm with you Tim!
“Half of our problems, in public squares, in American Culture, come from our fundamental misuses of the Bible. Trying to get it to say things that it’s not fundamentally saying. This is a divine word and human word, for what. To make us WISE. It’s God-spirited, GOd’s spirit. It’s this. GOd’s spirit in the Bible, always works in and through with human beings. “
Using this material in Sunday school class at my church in grass valley, CA. We are finding it to be very interesting and valuable for clarification and understanding . I also loved your podcast on book of Jonah. I now can make sense of that book.
Grass Valley. How cool is that. I know about Grass Valley from a webcam that broadcasts live and you can see this huge mural. Beautiful town. This is not Tim's official youtube channel. His work has been a huge impact on my life so I am compiling it all here for others to experience in one place. So good to hear that its been a help to you all too. I would encourage you to go to the Bible Project website or youtube channel and send your regards.
I actually finished the entire Bible in a year thanks to the "Read Scripture" app. And I'm reading through it again. The app and your illustrative videos help so much! Thank you! I didn't know you had a channel. Glad I'm here.
I can't get enough ,fast enough.!!!!!thank you Jesus .their is no reason for anyone to ,not ,believe in the bible nowadays.thousands of proofs,they just have to choose ,not to believe.!!! And deny truth.
My goodness, this man is so well educated and he communicates his knowledge in such a good way I feel grateful. I could listen day after day. I am sure there will be many people who will come to Christ through his presentations. Sr Bethany Mary
I don’t know how this came in my feed on you tube last night, but I heard your voice and immediately recognized it from the Bible project book overviews we listen to as part of the Bible recap podcast. This was so interesting. I was listening to it in my sleep. I had such a headache but was trying to focus on what you were saying. You’ve now caused me to learn such interesting stuff in my sleep!
Thanks Tim... your passion of and joy for the Scriptures is evident, and your teaching here is so prescient for the post modern Church. Really really enjoyed it! .... are you with me? 😉😁
I wish Tim would come and preach this in my Church. I have been trying to teach Old Testament Survey in my Sunday School class and gave them a little bit on how we got our Bible and will give them some more, unfortunately it is just way too much to give it to my Sunday Morning Church. These days you only get one sermon on Sunday, and you get the cream of the crop in Sunday School and what they should be learning at their age in Christ is way over their heads. Sunday sermon to the congregation, you don't get the cream of the crop, just the crop. Its a lot harder to bring it down to their level, especially when your Pastor doesn't know it because he never bothered to get training from a Bible College or Seminary and he is threatened by those of us who have any formal training so we are not allowed to preach.
Tim are you the narrator of all the Bible books? You are fantastic! You've helped me when Seminary has not! Your courses are so clear, concise, humorous and I get it now! Thank you!
We are so with you, Tim! And so much closer to Jesus because of you!! Thanks for being the Bible nerd, getting your PhD and caring enough to ask if we are with you ❤️✝️🙏💕
Tim, thank you so much for sharing your hard earned knowledge with us all. My ex. Wife was telling me all about the Bible project and how great it was and that she got a lot from it. We were both in reformed churches about 10 yrs. I really learned the bi b le in those churches. God has mellowed me out thru many many severe trails. Would love to meet you someday, before that great day!! Sincerely Paul
This was truly eye opening and overwhelmingly amazing. I loved every second of it and feel so grateful I came across this video. Thank you so much for this. I am so grateful. Just subscribed to the Bible project website and your channel. God bless 🙏🏻
Finally someone that brings the original language from the Torah and gives hope to the misunderstandings in Christian society! I am now spreading the word of God with confidence!God Bless you always!
I’m interested in what he has to say about the Bible. My 14th great grandpa was William Tyndale . Congratulations on your beautiful journey with your family! God continue to bless you and your family. God Bless you all.
I like this guy...Tim. What I can appreciate about him...is one...his clarity. But even more so, his way. He comes across as humble, sincere, and genuine. Which in my mind...is the exact way Christ Hinself, came to teach the people. I was brought up in a strict religious cult, who preached vehemently, that there was such a thing as 'God's Governement'. And its teachers, which were called 'ministers', were the leaders in charge. There was an authoritative aura about them. One that could easily be abused. To the point where they told people who they could marry, what clothes to wear, and what type of diet to have. They were to be feared. And they were feared. I don't remember Christ ever acting that way. Nor...any of the disciples. I can truly appreciate Tim's approach. It is a learning lesson, that comes across...as showing love. And we all know...God literally claims...to be Love.
Yes!! "Something is broken in the system of western churchianity." Nailed it! I haven't found many people who see this issue. They just swing in extreme directions.
Got to agree the church is broken. Never seen so many people say they believe in a certain thing then spend hours telling anyone who will listen why it’s wrong.
WE are the eklesia- the temple where He dwells. He is not found in buildings, there is no need to rebuild a temple of stone and wood. Fellowship is still very important but we don't need someone explaining God's Word, He gives us the Holy Spirit to translate it to our hearts. Hallelujah!
Thank you for your interpretations, for your perceptions, I hear you. Im with you, and have been inspired by videos of yours. Again thank you for your time to put this information out “there”. Bless you❤️
I'm surprised Mackie doesn't know this: "How can you trust the Genesis account if it was written by Moses thousands of years after the events allegedly took place"? The Book of Genesis was not necessarily written by Moses. Moses most likely edited, revised and compiled several previously existing books of generational, accounts of genealogies into what we call, "the Book of Genesis". Genesis actually means, "genealogies". So when we say, "the Book of Genesis", we're actually saying, the "Book of Genealogies" or "The Book of Generations". The Book of Genesis was most likely compiled together from 10 previously existing books/texts/manuscripts which had been written and handed down from Adam. These 10 parts are known as the "Toledot" in Hebrew. Tol'dot, Toldos, or Tol'doth תּוֹלְדֹת - is the Hebrew word for "generations" or "descendants". Each time that Genesis reads, "These are the generations of...", this is, more than likely, a different author signing off. For example: Genesis 2:4 KJV “These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,” Some scholars believe that the 1st chapter of Genesis was actually written by God Himself and then given to Adam so that he could add his story to it and then pass it down to his children who would add their story to it and so on and so forth. In fact, The first chapter of Genesis refers to the Creator as, "God" but starting in chapter 2 it begins referring to Him as, "Lord God". It seems that there is not only a difference in the title for God, having added more reverence to the title after the start of chapter 2, but also every time that the phrase, "These are the generations of..." appears, the style of writing itself changes and it is often very dramatic and noticeable. Consider this: When Moses edited and compiled these 10 texts together, he left Adam's "signature-off" still reading like this, "This is the BOOK of the generations of Adam". Genesis 5:1 KJV "This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;" We see this phrase used 8 more times in the book of Genesis and again once more at the beginning of Exodus. Genesis 6:9 “These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.” Genesis 10:1 "Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood." Genesis 10:32 These [are] the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood. Genesis 11:10 These [are] the generations of Shem: Shem [was] an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood: Genesis 11:27 Now these [are] the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot. Genesis 25:12&13 Now these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham: And these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, Genesis 25:19 And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac: Genesis 36:1 Now these [are] the generations of Esau, who [is] Edom. Genesis 36:9 And these [are] the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir: Genesis 37:2 These [are] the generations of Jacob. Joseph, [being] seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad [was] with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report. When the Book of Exodus starts off, Moses (the author) had not yet even been born. He obviously must have received the information contained in the beginning of the Book of Exodus, which is that of his geneology from Levi onward to himself, as well as what had happened in the years just prior to and leading up to his birth either orally, or more than likely, from previously existing books/scrolls/texts/manuscripts which contained it, which had been perfectly copied and handed down from generation to generation starting with the Creator-God (YHWH) and Adam. Exodus 6:16 And these [are] the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi [were] an hundred thirty and seven years. Notice that this verse tells us that the information in the verse is, "according to their generations"; meaning that this information was taken from a book of generational accounts of geneologies. I suppose it is possible that Moses could have received all of this information directly from God (YHWH) because the Bible says that Moses talked to God face to face as a man talks to his friend; and who could possibly be a more reliable or credible source than the Creator Himself, Who cannot lie? However, I personally believe that these were all eyewitness accounts which were handed down starting with the Creator-God (YHWH), Who had planned from before the very beginning to bring about the Bible. It appears that God started the book and passed it onto Adam, who passed it generationally down to Noah. Noah would have taken the books of each generational account onto the Ark and after the flood he would have studied and copied them over and over for each child that was born, or at least the sons, unless there were only daughters born to a particular individual. They would have then been copied and passed down from generation to generation. From Noah to Shem, all the way down to Terrah, then Abraham; then Isaac; then Jacob, who would have given copies to each of His 12 sons, one of them being Levi whom Moses is descendant from. However, more notably, a copy would have been also given to Joseph, who after being sold into Egyptian slavery by his jealous brothers, was elevated to the second highest seat of rule in all of Egypt after accurately interpreting the Pharaohs troubling dream, which symbolized 7 years of abundance followed by 7 years of famine. As the person with the most authority in Egypt directly under the Pharaoh, Joseph most likely would have added copies of these family history books to the public and royal Egyptian libraries and schools; where Moses was eventually brought up, also as Egyptian royalty. To me this makes the most sense because God promised in the very first prophecy in the Bible, that the seed of the woman would bruise the head of the serpent. God understood that His people would need to trace the Messiah's family tree all the way back to Adam so that we could clearly see that Jesus was indeed the seed of the woman from the Genesis 3 prophecy. Jesus was the Son of Man and the Son of God. However, He referred to Himself as the Son of Man more that anything else. It required the Son of Man to save man. I don't take any credit for this, this is solely the work of the Holy Spirit which drives me to study and the Bible commands in II Timothy 2:15 that we must, "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" . The Bible also commands in I Peter 3:15 that we should, "Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear". And King Solomon wrote in Proverbs 18:13, "He that answereth a matter before he hears it; it is a folly and a shame unto Him" While Proverbs 1:5 tells us that, "A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:" Proverbs 1:7 says, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Finally, Jesus said in Matthew 10:16, "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves."
""Moses most likely edited, revised and compiled several previously existing books of generational, accounts of genealogies into what we call, "the Book of Genesis"""" This is a fail.
Let me tell you Mr Tim, that with this lecture you did for me something that is priceless and illuminating. I needed this explanation long ago. Thank you and God bless you
Lonely ?? Haha rekon I can relate .. and I’m from down south where it’s work hard play hard type of living but I found the Lord recently how was raised up on the farm around a God-fearing man who was the same man on Sunday morning at Saturday night and after conviction here recently I know for a fact it hit me I was reborn I have been saved and it is a beautiful beautiful thing but each day I pray that God keeps blessing me to be able to read and understand his word and a little bit. That the jolt spirit has opened up to me shows me JUST HOW HOW MUCH MORE THERE IS TO HIS WORD AND CHRISTIANITY and just HOW LITTLE of backrow baptist and I was included go to church once a week love like heathens and take a few verses that compliment they’re sinful life and think they’re heaven bound. It breaks my heart and I’ve realized just HOW DEEP AND PRECIOUS OUR PRESENCE ON THIS EARTH IS AND WHOOOOOO WE ARE FOR anddd it is NOT ourselves ! God bless you all and thanks for reading my 2cent if u did haha rarely comment but felt the spirit 😏
@@priscilla4221 God is angry with the wicked everyday. The only chance of being at peace with God is through belief in the gospel. Jesus Christ died was buried and raised from the dead. Only thru Jesus will we be sealed by the Holy Spirit for redemption of our incorruptible bodies.

Hey. A fellow Bible nerd. I just finished transcribing the other video of this topic (1 h 45 m version), and am watching this one to get more on the topic. Cheers!!
Me too! Twice already, my brain keeps taking off and then i have to dig more info. Beautiful that i stumble onto this as a mew-ish christian. I have much to learn and this is exactly the stuff ive been looking for and needing. God seems to put these things in my path when im ready to process from a heavenly discernment. Cheers and blessing!
Thank you so much! Finally information that I will rewatch, with the LORD's help, because it has answered some of my confusion. The LORD bless you, and enable you to continue. The LORD bless you, and all of your loved ones.
I’m 10 minutes through and all I can say is Amen! I’m a newer Believer and I spent years in the new age occult belief systems. God showed me the truth and saved me from it. I was spiritually and mentally attacked when I began to turn towards the Lord, but HE saved me. I denied him and he stall came to recover me. So faithful. Since He was so faithful to me, I shall be to Him. The Holy Spirit transformed me. No one could ever make me not believe in the Word or God. Though, I do understand how those not grounded and unfortunately double minded can be swayed. I was one of them. I think it’s so important for people to learn to teach the Bible correctly. I don’t think most people have an accurate understanding of what happened on the cross. That’s what keeps them ungrounded I believe. That they don’t understand and therefore, truly believe. Due to my wickedness and the supernatural way in which Jesus showed up for me, I made it a mission to understand Him. That’s why I’m listening to this video. I pray the same for all believers, that we desire to grow close to Him and stay in constant contact with Him.
Thank you for your excellent teaching on the importance of knowing and understanding the Bible and it’s rich history. Thank you for the Bible Project ministry.
Praise the for the gift God has given you guys!!!! The ability to take hard subjects of the Bible and explain it in ways to be understood for every one!!!!!
I’m blessed by your ministry Tim! Your a servant and minister of the LORD Jesus Christ and GOD and not a nerd… but a blessing. Thank GOD! It’s a wonderful ministry!

What a blessing you are. You acquired the knowledge of the records of history and for some reason, I trust that you are telling the truth of your findings. I mostly believe you because of telling the story of the bible scholars who wanted to get an honest description of what Jesus looked like. Since skin color has separated western civilization so much, truth is so needed. Jesus never wants us separated. Thank you.
Thank you for your the Bible Project, for the "How to Study the Bible" series, and especially this video. It confirmed and fleshed out thoughts and beliefs I began developing about 20 years ago when I returned to the Church, as an adult, after two decades away, and decided to very carefully study the Bible as whole. I did my best to follow the axiom, "the best guide to what the Bible has to say is the rest of the Bible", which meant to me set aside all preconceived notions, (But both subsequently and simultaneously, I also watched for the chapters and verses from which the various faith traditions I had studied in Comparative Theology derived their distinctive tenets, so as to better understand their perspectives.) I have grown tired of people telling me things like, if you don't believe: "… about 6000 years ago God created the the universe in exactly 144 hrs and then rested for exactly 24 hours…” or "It had never rained anywhere on Earth, then God instructed Noah to build an enormous floating barn, fill it with hundreds of thousands of different species from everywhere on the Earth and then flooded the entire planet to a depth of at least 1000 ft above sea level… [or even 30,000]" or "God dictated every letter of Torah to Moses in 40 days on The Mountain and the current Hebrew text is of Torah is almost identical to that (and that the origin and transmission of the Nevi'im, Ketuvim, Gospels, Acts, Letters and the Revelation to John of End of Days Prophesies are similar…" then "you can't be a Christian" or "you are an apostate". You have reassured me and many, many like me. I hope you are reaching both Christians at large and "the world outside our doors".
Thank you father for your word and the understanding for the little bit I have comprehended it means everything to me never knew I could love the word of God so much “FOR THE RIGHT REASON”…always wanted to but it was a challenge now it’s a blessing. God bless you all

Man, this was eye opening.
Love from India.
Cheers brother. God bless you.
Hey!! Im from India too❤️
I love this! Praise God!
Love from Arkansas
Just listen to yourself! You might as well say! " thank you God for brainwashing me, indoctrinating me and giving me Tim to keep brainwashing me in to believing in bull shitting crap! The God by the way is stone age ignirant fairy tales fir adults! Wake up and believe in evidential facts!! Science for one, rational for two, and factual none fiction books for third!
I just realized how lonely it is to be a bible nerd in the mainstream Church-ianity. So... God bless you all whoever watched this video. And thank you, Tim!
truth. lol
John Smith, I love that phrase " a Bible nerd" lol. It's a good thing to be. :)
Maybe you're gonna be a teacher. God gives that nerdy interest for a reason.
I do a ton of studying but tbh all it takes is faith the size of a mustard seed, not a PhD to receive what the scripture says, so at the end of the day it's not important how "nerdy" or "smart" or "educated" we are because the Bible states that God uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise....this is why some fishermen could interpret the Bible better then the educated religious folks of their day.........idk why but I see much "nerd" talk on here and it just feels like a bunch of ppl are wagging their own tails....
@@chaboi7 study to shew thy self approved is what your bible says. If you don’t read and study, you will draw your own conclusions like you are doing now
My son recommended your podcasts to me. He shared what a good job you do and that you are easy to understand. I acknowledge this as an answer to my recent prayers. Thank you Lord for Tim Mackie. I've been a Christian for many, many years. However, I've never felt comfortable with my ability to share what and why I believe as I do. Your teaching me how to. I'm so grateful. God bless you.
Have you seen Ray Comfort( living waters), Chuck Missler,( koinania house) all great teachers with great revelations and insight.!!!
Sorry I have to add ,Sergio and Rodah ,they are in Is real,helped me a lot to see the actual places mentioned in the bible,they are funny too.
And Robert Breaker, He is fantastically clear and uses a white board to show the proper time lines.
HalleluYah Jill HalleluYah for your Son and Tim, and may many more of your prayers like these, to be close to Your Father and Our Messiah be answered.
And Mike Winger
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." - John 16:33

Tim “are you with me” Mackie
It would be pretty awesome if he was invited to Rogan
i was just gonna say that hahah.. i love the conference and the lectures but i wish he wouldnt say "are you with me" so much lol..
@@norlanchrissalamanca It occurred to me this morning that Tim is on the very best spot on “the human spectrum”. Brilliant!

Go and create a meme.... but what does it do to you what is being said? Have you listened / were you with Him?
I’m back again Sir Tim .. after 5 years?? I feel nostalgic listening to this again. Lost my way in the journey.. but found the way home. Thank you Sir. Godbless you and your family. May the good Lord protect you and continually motivates you in spreading the Word.
At first, Tim seems so "bookish," a nice guy, but quirky. The lecture is so measured, somewhat simplified, studious, and unassuming, yet certain points hit like a hammer! This is remarkable teaching! Thank you dear Lord for this man and his work!
His puck handling skills leave something to be desired, but once he gets on a breakaway the puck is going in the net.
Thank you for starting the Bible Project! Trying to read and understand by myself I miss so much of the nuances. It's like cooking a meal and forgetting to use salt, pepper or other spices; missing the full flavor. It has helped me understand my journey of being a Christian more rapidly.
Amen! It’s been extremely helpful!
Robert breaker is great also not even 10 minutes of one of his videos and the Bible was absolutely so much easier for me to understand I highly recommend checking him out he’s on RUclips
Yes indeed, thanks
Tim M. & John for the Bible Project. Following here from Manila Philippines..🎉
Brother Mackie, what a blessing is your ministry to me. I rejoice in the Lord for all his servants like you.
You sound crazy.
@@camerontaylor7471 Crazy is critiquing a two year old post.
Blostin I do exactly the same thing.
There is a resurgence of true enthusiasm for the Word. It is being shared from corner, to corner of the earth. HalleluYah
Blessed are those that walk in the name of Yahushua
It is worthy of rejoicing over.
It is worthy of rejoicing over indeed.
It's nice to see that Tim emphasize on covenant whereas most denomination focus on church doctrines and they forgotten God's love through the covenant
I thank God for this man.
Daymickey I totally enjoy the way he teaches. Amazingly simple and complex at the same time. I continue to learn from his sermons and The Bible Project. He and his work are among the best resources I have found on the internet.
Truth. Were blessed to have him in the age of the internet.
I've learned more from Dr Mackie, Dr Heiser, N. T. Wright , and Gary Habermas on RUclips than I've ever learned in church. Praise God for their generosity in sharing Gods message.

Dr. Mackie, your teaching is so thought provoking, so revealing. I'll watch this a few more times, taking notes.
I could watch this a million times. The more geeked out Tim goes, the more excited I get.
Thank you on behalf of those who need your ability to break the information down for us. May you get to go back and study until your hearts content. 💕
What an amazing video Tim! Since I found the Bible Project my understanding about the Bible changed so much and also the way I understand and follow Jesus. Everything became less heavy than it use to be and I can say that I am learning for the first time in a much deeper level! God bless you life and all involved in this amazing project!
I am officially a Bible nerd 🤓🤣. 30 years of long documentaries and explanations of the making of the bible. This man in 45 min had the most exciting, clear explanation I've seen. Those documentaries can be brutal and the commercials 😩🤣😂🤣. Totally can tell he's a professor " are you with me", I love how he keeps your attention and feeds into the together we are uncovering something. I got excited with finger print 🤣🙏🏾💖
The clearest contemporary articulation of the holiest book...The Word of God. May the Lord bless brother Tim!
This is so enlightening. A lifetime of reflection❤️. Loved the Ezekiel bread story! Thank you for providing this insight.
Wow amazing Saturday Sabbath service! I am deeply encouraged by this and will share this message with others!
We are with you. Thank you for your passion to study and to teach.
Cheers brother. Peace be unto you.
HERE is The Original Semitic Text, HERE IS THE REAL SAVIOR
YaH The Heavenly FATHER was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
@@Praise___YaH what translation are you reading? My translation is not jiving. I see in the last part of Deuteronomy where they reference a man being hung on tree and his body can not be left over night. It is speaking of punishments for different crimes. Please advise. I am very interested.

Thank you Tim for sharing. You are a true vessel the Spirit of God is using to spread the Good News. We appreciate you and your family for sharing you with us. What a blessing you all are!
Tim and associate's, Thank you all for your work and preparation to teach this most excellent study of Life. It has completely inspired me to keep searching for Jesus. 🙏✝💖
🌹 Rosemary Saved by His Grace.
I love Tims Enthusiasm and truth be told it is soooo motivating to dive deeper and deeoer again and again into scripture.
I was with you! :) I knew there were many authors, but in fact there were way more authors and still the Bible is consistent about God, his people and about Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!
Glory to Jesus, it was really clarifying and eye opening for me. From the beginning of my journey with The Bible, I had problems with different translation and I heard a lot about the differences between Antioch and Alexandria's Bible versions. Thank you. Truly Truly His Word is inspired and preserved so that we can believe that Jesus Christ is The Son of God and was crucified on the cross for my iniquity so that I can have Salvation through His Precious Blood.
An avid reader of student of Scripture myself, I've really enjoyed watching the Bible Project's short videos on different books and topics. But really have liked having a great resource to show my wife and daughter. Thank you.
You are not alone. Amazing resources that Tim has put together.

@@mitchellc4 You have obviously been falsely indoctrinated by Jehovah Witness cult or some other false teachers or cult. I have members of my family who have been giving over to Satan after rejecting Jesus as fully man and fully God, they now have left jw cult but are worse now they believe in flat earth, new age etc any lie so long as it is not the truth of being reborn of the spirit by trusting in Jesus sarafice alone. I'll say a quick prayer for you that the Blinkers will be lifted from your eyes. The Gospel of John makes its clear who Jesus is, that is fully man while he was on the earth yet fully God eternally in the spirit, salvation is all about our enternal spirit which of course you have been told and have accepted doesn't exist. Give up what you are doing, its no use kicking against the pricks.
Martin Muldoon
I am not a JW
What verse anywhere says Jesus is fully God and fully man???
Any verses in Matthew Mark or Luke you think say Jesus is God??
@@mitchellc4 yea that is what Jesus Claimed he was God himself, by saying I am, I and the father are one etc. Pharisees picked up stones to stone Jesus, Jesus said "for which of these good works do you stone me?" they replied you being a man you make yourself out to be God". I don't want to debate as I've other more important things to do. I am the Alpha and Omega the one who died and now live.
Excellent. Now I can sleep at night and stop worrying about the Bible and now I can spend my time learning from it.
Thank you for making this available at no fee.
Seriously
What a great resource! Tim, thank for being a "Bible Geek"! You have a gift of synthesizing all the doctoral platitudes into insightful and easy to understand points. May the LORD continue to grow in your faith as you help others with theirs.
Dog, you're they only person that has every really taught me the correct meanings of the Bible. I dig your personality and down-to-earthness. I also love the fact that you're a skater, cause I was when I was younger too. There's so many false prophets out there, so obviously I don't feel them. I respect you cause you're real homie, and real recognize real, know that.

How do you explain the messiah after getting baptised by John, came up from the water and the a dove descended on him and the heaven opened and a voice came down from heaven saying this is my Son in him I’m well Pleased
Love all this information! Was not academic during my school years but now I’m retired, I’m getting a thirst for this kind of knowledge!
Thanks Tim.
What this Weirdness means to most people: Netflix binging and panic buying.
What it means to me: Let's dive deep into the Bible Project and all the Tim Mackie archives.
Hoohaa Same thought
why not...
Exactly what I've been doing for the past three months lol. I've learned so much and feel so very much closer to our Lord.
YES!!!
Unless those days were cut short,no flesh would be saved! That means every single one of us ,the Bill Gates of the world also.
Honestly, Tim is the person who helped me get closer to God a year ago and gave me confidence that faith and reason go hand in hand. He has brought me so close to God, and I am thankful for that. Excellent work!
Saturday is Shabbat.. studying the Bible is the best thing you can do on the Saturday.
Yes!!
That’s exactly what came to my mind. Lol

Dr. Tim. I'm so glad I happened upon this video in my search for material on how the scriptures were constructed. I was captivated by your presentation. Your passion for this is contagious. You're brilliant and articulate. Thank you for your commitment and enthusiasm. The Lord bless you and keep you.
You have a gift for making learning about the Bible fun. Thanks for sharing. Are you with me?
I am so grateful for Tim Mackie! Best teachings I've ever heard
When Tim showed the artifact of Buruk my jaw dropped?!!! So fascinating how God uses people for his purpose! Glory to God for life on earth! Praise God.
This was amazing. It just makes it that much more simple to understand and believe. It comes down to you either believe or you don’t. Everyone is going to have an excuse as to why they don’t believe. Or not liking how God handled things. At the end of the day God is God and you either believe or you don’t. It’s amazing how it all comes together
May God blesses Tim and his family for all the work he does
Pastor Tim gives excellent presentations! In-depth, intelligent and humerous. The Bible from a perspective totally different from a usual Sunday sermon.
I'm with you Tim!
One of the DOPEST videos I’ve watched on this platform. Period.
So much love.....
Not sure what your comment means…
Ppl can laugh at me and call me old fashioned for believe in Jesus Christ but I want my name in the Lambs book of Life.
“Half of our problems, in public squares, in American Culture, come from our fundamental misuses of the Bible. Trying to get it to say things that it’s not fundamentally saying.
This is a divine word and human word, for what. To make us WISE. It’s God-spirited, GOd’s spirit. It’s this. GOd’s spirit in the Bible, always works in and through with human beings. “
Beautiful family! Thank you for all you do and your team! God bless you all!
So great, awesome and edifying.
God bless you and keep you in Jesus Name 🙏
Using this material in Sunday school class at my church in grass valley, CA. We are finding it to be very interesting and valuable for clarification and understanding . I also loved your podcast on book of Jonah. I now can make sense of that book.
Grass Valley. How cool is that. I know about Grass Valley from a webcam that broadcasts live and you can see this huge mural. Beautiful town.
This is not Tim's official youtube channel. His work has been a huge impact on my life so I am compiling it all here for others to experience in one place. So good to hear that its been a help to you all too. I would encourage you to go to the Bible Project website or youtube channel and send your regards.
I actually finished the entire Bible in a year thanks to the "Read Scripture" app. And I'm reading through it again. The app and your illustrative videos help so much! Thank you! I didn't know you had a channel. Glad I'm here.
This channel is not made my Tim but by an appreciater of Tim. Peace be unto you.
I really appreciate learning from someone with passion and true interest in what he teaches!!
what up fellow bible nerds
WHATUPP??!!!
Love me some geeky Bible nerds!
Happy quarantine from Johannesburg South Africa my bru’s 🤙🏻
waddup gang gang skrrrrrrrrrt
I can't get enough ,fast enough.!!!!!thank you Jesus .their is no reason for anyone to ,not ,believe in the bible nowadays.thousands of proofs,they just have to choose ,not to believe.!!! And deny truth.
My goodness, this man is so well educated and he communicates his knowledge in such a good way I feel grateful. I could listen day after day. I am sure there will be many people who will come to Christ through his presentations. Sr Bethany Mary
I don’t know how this came in my feed on you tube last night, but I heard your voice and immediately recognized it from the Bible project book overviews we listen to as part of the Bible recap podcast. This was so interesting. I was listening to it in my sleep. I had such a headache but was trying to focus on what you were saying. You’ve now caused me to learn such interesting stuff in my sleep!
Thanks Tim... your passion of and joy for the Scriptures is evident, and your teaching here is so prescient for the post modern Church. Really really enjoyed it! .... are you with me? 😉😁
I wish Tim would come and preach this in my Church. I have been trying to teach Old Testament Survey in my Sunday School class and gave them a little bit on how we got our Bible and will give them some more, unfortunately it is just way too much to give it to my Sunday Morning Church. These days you only get one sermon on Sunday, and you get the cream of the crop in Sunday School and what they should be learning at their age in Christ is way over their heads. Sunday sermon to the congregation, you don't get the cream of the crop, just the crop. Its a lot harder to bring it down to their level, especially when your Pastor doesn't know it because he never bothered to get training from a Bible College or Seminary and he is threatened by those of us who have any formal training so we are not allowed to preach.
I can tell you have such a burning passion for Christ and his word. Thank you for sharing.
Tim are you the narrator of all the Bible books? You are fantastic! You've helped me when Seminary has not! Your courses are so clear, concise, humorous and I get it now! Thank you!
I love your passion for the Bible and all things about the Bible. Your passion ignites a passion inside of me for it as well. Thank you.
May God bless you and your beautiful family,for making your content,teachings,free ,you are an admirable man of God,thank you Jesus.
On the behalf of Christian and non- believers everywhere. Thank you so very much Mr.Mackie
The Seal of Baruch, Wow the thumb print is just so personal too, thank you for this study
We are so with you, Tim! And so much closer to Jesus because of you!!
Thanks for being the Bible nerd, getting your PhD and caring enough to ask if we are with you ❤️✝️🙏💕
I’ll have to watch this 50x or so.
Excellent teaching/ teacher. God bless!
What a gem. Thank you for uploading & preserving it!
Tim, thank you so much for sharing your hard earned knowledge with us all. My ex. Wife was telling me all about the Bible project and how great it was and that she got a lot from it. We were both in reformed churches about 10 yrs. I really learned the bi b le in those churches. God has mellowed me out thru many many severe trails. Would love to meet you someday, before that great day!! Sincerely Paul
This was truly eye opening and overwhelmingly amazing. I loved every second of it and feel so grateful I came across this video. Thank you so much for this. I am so grateful. Just subscribed to the Bible project website and your channel. God bless 🙏🏻
I’m here!! Realizing I’ll be studying this book forever
Why did I only find this now this year wow 🤩 thank you for this
Finally someone that brings the original language from the Torah and gives hope to the misunderstandings in Christian society! I am now spreading the word of God with confidence!God Bless you always!
I’m interested in what he has to say about the Bible. My 14th great grandpa was William Tyndale . Congratulations on your beautiful journey with your family! God continue to bless you and your family. God Bless you all.
Wow, Tyndale! Great history!
I like this guy...Tim. What I can appreciate about him...is one...his clarity. But even more so, his way. He comes across as humble, sincere, and genuine. Which in my mind...is the exact way Christ Hinself, came to teach the people. I was brought up in a strict religious cult, who preached vehemently, that there was such a thing as 'God's Governement'. And its teachers, which were called 'ministers', were the leaders in charge. There was an authoritative aura about them. One that could easily be abused. To the point where they told people who they could marry, what clothes to wear, and what type of diet to have. They were to be feared. And they were feared. I don't remember Christ ever acting that way. Nor...any of the disciples. I can truly appreciate Tim's approach. It is a learning lesson, that comes across...as showing love. And we all know...God literally claims...to be Love.
Yes!! "Something is broken in the system of western churchianity."
Nailed it! I haven't found many people who see this issue. They just swing in extreme directions.
Narrow is the gate to life and few are finding it .
Got to agree the church is broken. Never seen so many people say they believe in a certain thing then spend hours telling anyone who will listen why it’s wrong.
WE are the eklesia- the temple where He dwells. He is not found in buildings, there is no need to rebuild a temple of stone and wood. Fellowship is still very important but we don't need someone explaining God's Word, He gives us the Holy Spirit to translate it to our hearts. Hallelujah!
I have only listen to the first 20 minutes and this is so good, praise God! Thank you for doing this presentation and making it available to everyone!
You're so amazing, Tim! I thank God for you and your work! God bless you and your family!
Thank you for your interpretations, for your perceptions, I hear you. Im with you, and have been inspired by videos of yours. Again thank you for your time to put this information out “there”. Bless you❤️
I'm surprised Mackie doesn't know this: "How can you trust the Genesis account if it was written by Moses thousands of years after the events allegedly took place"?
The Book of Genesis was not necessarily written by Moses. Moses most likely edited, revised and compiled several previously existing books of generational, accounts of genealogies into what we call, "the Book of Genesis". Genesis actually means, "genealogies". So when we say, "the Book of Genesis", we're actually saying, the "Book of Genealogies" or "The Book of Generations".
The Book of Genesis was most likely compiled together from 10 previously existing books/texts/manuscripts which had been written and handed down from Adam. These 10 parts are known as the "Toledot" in Hebrew.
Tol'dot, Toldos, or Tol'doth תּוֹלְדֹת - is the Hebrew word for "generations" or "descendants".
Each time that Genesis reads, "These are the generations of...", this is, more than likely, a different author signing off.
For example:
Genesis 2:4 KJV
“These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,”
Some scholars believe that the 1st chapter of Genesis was actually written by God Himself and then given to Adam so that he could add his story to it and then pass it down to his children who would add their story to it and so on and so forth.
In fact, The first chapter of Genesis refers to the Creator as, "God" but starting in chapter 2 it begins referring to Him as, "Lord God". It seems that there is not only a difference in the title for God, having added more reverence to the title after the start of chapter 2, but also every time that the phrase, "These are the generations of..." appears, the style of writing itself changes and it is often very dramatic and noticeable.
Consider this:
When Moses edited and compiled these 10 texts together, he left Adam's "signature-off" still reading like this, "This is the BOOK of the generations of Adam".
Genesis 5:1 KJV
"This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;"
We see this phrase used 8 more times in the book of Genesis and again once more at the beginning of Exodus.
Genesis 6:9
“These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.”
Genesis 10:1
"Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood."
Genesis 10:32
These [are] the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
Genesis 11:10
These [are] the generations of Shem: Shem [was] an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
Genesis 11:27
Now these [are] the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
Genesis 25:12&13
Now these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
And these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
Genesis 25:19
And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:
Genesis 36:1
Now these [are] the generations of Esau, who [is] Edom.
Genesis 36:9
And these [are] the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:
Genesis 37:2
These [are] the generations of Jacob. Joseph, [being] seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad [was] with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
When the Book of Exodus starts off, Moses (the author) had not yet even been born. He obviously must have received the information contained in the beginning of the Book of Exodus, which is that of his geneology from Levi onward to himself, as well as what had happened in the years just prior to and leading up to his birth either orally, or more than likely, from previously existing books/scrolls/texts/manuscripts which contained it, which had been perfectly copied and handed down from generation to generation starting with the Creator-God (YHWH) and Adam.
Exodus 6:16
And these [are] the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi [were] an hundred thirty and seven years.
Notice that this verse tells us that the information in the verse is, "according to their generations"; meaning that this information was taken from a book of generational accounts of geneologies.
I suppose it is possible that Moses could have received all of this information directly from God (YHWH) because the Bible says that Moses talked to God face to face as a man talks to his friend; and who could possibly be a more reliable or credible source than the Creator Himself, Who cannot lie?
However, I personally believe that these were all eyewitness accounts which were handed down starting with the Creator-God (YHWH), Who had planned from before the very beginning to bring about the Bible. It appears that God started the book and passed it onto Adam, who passed it generationally down to Noah. Noah would have taken the books of each generational account onto the Ark and after the flood he would have studied and copied them over and over for each child that was born, or at least the sons, unless there were only daughters born to a particular individual. They would have then been copied and passed down from generation to generation. From Noah to Shem, all the way down to Terrah, then Abraham; then Isaac; then Jacob, who would have given copies to each of His 12 sons, one of them being Levi whom Moses is descendant from.
However, more notably, a copy would have been also given to Joseph, who after being sold into Egyptian slavery by his jealous brothers, was elevated to the second highest seat of rule in all of Egypt after accurately interpreting the Pharaohs troubling dream, which symbolized 7 years of abundance followed by 7 years of famine. As the person with the most authority in Egypt directly under the Pharaoh, Joseph most likely would have added copies of these family history books to the public and royal Egyptian libraries and schools; where Moses was eventually brought up, also as Egyptian royalty.
To me this makes the most sense because God promised in the very first prophecy in the Bible, that the seed of the woman would bruise the head of the serpent. God understood that His people would need to trace the Messiah's family tree all the way back to Adam so that we could clearly see that Jesus was indeed the seed of the woman from the Genesis 3 prophecy. Jesus was the Son of Man and the Son of God. However, He referred to Himself as the Son of Man more that anything else. It required the Son of Man to save man.
I don't take any credit for this, this is solely the work of the Holy Spirit which drives me to study and the Bible commands in II Timothy 2:15 that we must,
"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth"
.
The Bible also commands in I Peter 3:15 that we should,
"Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear".
And King Solomon wrote in Proverbs 18:13,
"He that answereth a matter before he hears it; it is a folly and a shame unto Him"
While Proverbs 1:5 tells us that,
"A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:"
Proverbs 1:7 says,
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
Finally, Jesus said in Matthew 10:16,
"Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves."
""Moses most likely edited, revised and compiled several previously existing books of generational, accounts of genealogies into what we call, "the Book of Genesis""""
This is a fail.
Thanks for sharing Trevor.
Let me tell you Mr Tim, that with this lecture you did for me something that is priceless and illuminating. I needed this explanation long ago. Thank you and God bless you
Lord, thank you for Tim Mackie and the gifts you have bestowed him with.
Lonely ?? Haha rekon I can relate .. and I’m from down south where it’s work hard play hard type of living but I found the Lord recently how was raised up on the farm around a God-fearing man who was the same man on Sunday morning at Saturday night and after conviction here recently I know for a fact it hit me I was reborn I have been saved and it is a beautiful beautiful thing but each day I pray that God keeps blessing me to be able to read and understand his word and a little bit. That the jolt spirit has opened up to me shows me JUST HOW HOW MUCH MORE THERE IS TO HIS WORD AND CHRISTIANITY and just HOW LITTLE of backrow baptist and I was included go to church once a week love like heathens and take a few verses that compliment they’re sinful life and think they’re heaven bound. It breaks my heart and I’ve realized just HOW DEEP AND PRECIOUS OUR PRESENCE ON THIS EARTH IS AND WHOOOOOO WE ARE FOR anddd it is NOT ourselves ! God bless you all and thanks for reading my 2cent if u did haha rarely comment but felt the spirit 😏
That was awesome, well done and much needed... very succinct and beautiful
Tim Mackie I admire your wisdom from God. I truly believe you are a very anointed man of God.
The main point of the Bible is Jesus and how He will rein. He will be exalted and God the Father with the Holy Spirit giving Him His Bride.
And to love God with everything that is in us and love our neighbor like we love ourselves It's All About Love
@@priscilla4221 God is angry with the wicked everyday. The only chance of being at peace with God is through belief in the gospel. Jesus Christ died was buried and raised from the dead. Only thru Jesus will we be sealed by the Holy Spirit for redemption of our incorruptible bodies.
Amen! May Jesus Christ be glorified!❤
Love your teachings they have been a blessing to me. God bless you !
The way he soo happy and excited about gods word. Let's thank the lord for the work that he has done in this man so he can help us with the word. Yahwehs grace is never ending.
Outstanding. Gifted and blessed teacher. This really connected the dots and removed some barriers. Love Tim (and John Collins) work.
I’m going to watch this as many times as it take me to understand every single part of it . No shame in my game
Hey. A fellow Bible nerd. I just finished transcribing the other video of this topic (1 h 45 m version), and am watching this one to get more on the topic. Cheers!!

Me too! Twice already, my brain keeps taking off and then i have to dig more info. Beautiful that i stumble onto this as a mew-ish christian. I have much to learn and this is exactly the stuff ive been looking for and needing. God seems to put these things in my path when im ready to process from a heavenly discernment.
Cheers and blessing!
Thank you so much! Finally information that I will rewatch, with the LORD's help, because it has answered some of my confusion. The LORD bless you, and enable you to continue. The LORD bless you, and all of your loved ones.
I'm so used to hearing his voiceover in Bible Project videos that it feels weird seeing him talking as a person onstage.
I thought I recognized his voice. 😊
I’m 10 minutes through and all I can say is Amen! I’m a newer Believer and I spent years in the new age occult belief systems. God showed me the truth and saved me from it. I was spiritually and mentally attacked when I began to turn towards the Lord, but HE saved me. I denied him and he stall came to recover me. So faithful. Since He was so faithful to me, I shall be to Him. The Holy Spirit transformed me. No one could ever make me not believe in the Word or God. Though, I do understand how those not grounded and unfortunately double minded can be swayed. I was one of them. I think it’s so important for people to learn to teach the Bible correctly. I don’t think most people have an accurate understanding of what happened on the cross. That’s what keeps them ungrounded I believe. That they don’t understand and therefore, truly believe. Due to my wickedness and the supernatural way in which Jesus showed up for me, I made it a mission to understand Him. That’s why I’m listening to this video. I pray the same for all believers, that we desire to grow close to Him and stay in constant contact with Him.
God bless you! You are brilliant! I am learning a lot from the your videos!
Thank you for your excellent teaching on the importance of knowing and understanding the Bible and it’s rich history. Thank you for the Bible Project ministry.
I wish I could have that kind of understanding. Maybe one day.
Stay with your learning!
Praise the for the gift God has given you guys!!!! The ability to take hard subjects of the Bible and explain it in ways to be understood for every one!!!!!
I want to thank you for this video.
I’m blessed by your ministry Tim! Your a servant and minister of the LORD Jesus Christ and GOD and not a nerd… but a blessing. Thank GOD! It’s a wonderful ministry!
Binging on Michael Heiser for days led me here. This is my first time listening to Tim.
HERE is The Original Semitic Text, HERE IS THE REAL SAVIOR
YaH The Heavenly FATHER was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Mr Anderson I'm really interested to know what you learnt from Dr. Heiser. He's a very good teacher of the text
What a blessing you are. You acquired the knowledge of the records of history and for some reason, I trust that you are telling the truth of your findings. I mostly believe you because of telling the story of the bible scholars who wanted to get an honest description of what Jesus looked like.
Since skin color has separated western civilization so much, truth is so needed. Jesus never wants us separated. Thank you.
Learning from you feels like I am ready for my MA then Phd.
Go for it!
Thank you for your the Bible Project, for the "How to Study the Bible" series, and especially this video. It confirmed and fleshed out thoughts and beliefs I began developing about 20 years ago when I returned to the Church, as an adult, after two decades away, and decided to very carefully study the Bible as whole. I did my best to follow the axiom, "the best guide to what the Bible has to say is the rest of the Bible", which meant to me set aside all preconceived notions, (But both subsequently and simultaneously, I also watched for the chapters and verses from which the various faith traditions I had studied in Comparative Theology derived their distinctive tenets, so as to better understand their perspectives.)
I have grown tired of people telling me things like, if you don't believe: "… about 6000 years ago God created the the universe in exactly 144 hrs and then rested for exactly 24 hours…” or "It had never rained anywhere on Earth, then God instructed Noah to build an enormous floating barn, fill it with hundreds of thousands of different species from everywhere on the Earth and then flooded the entire planet to a depth of at least 1000 ft above sea level… [or even 30,000]" or "God dictated every letter of Torah to Moses in 40 days on The Mountain and the current Hebrew text is of Torah is almost identical to that (and that the origin and transmission of the Nevi'im, Ketuvim, Gospels, Acts, Letters and the Revelation to John of End of Days Prophesies are similar…" then "you can't be a Christian" or "you are an apostate".
You have reassured me and many, many like me.
I hope you are reaching both Christians at large and "the world outside our doors".
Okay last comment. The portraits of the messiah was an amazing illustration.
Thank you father for your word and the understanding for the little bit I have comprehended it means everything to me never knew I could love the word of God so much “FOR THE RIGHT REASON”…always wanted to but it was a challenge now it’s a blessing. God bless you all
