It’s the apocalypse! But what exactly does that mean? The Bible is filled with dreams and visions about human history coming to a climax, and they’re usually packed with intense imagery and strange symbols. In this video, we’ll explore the meaning of the word “apocalypse” in the Bible, and we’ll learn some basic steps for reading this literature with more wisdom and insight.

This is so beautiful and has tangible explanation. I am glad I got to know this channel
I've been struggling with this and need help. My mother was into some dark stuff. I'm not sure if it was like black magic or she was wiccan or what. When I was born my name was Muriel, but legally i changed my name later on because it never sat right with me. My mom died in a fire when I was 10, and I haven't really thought of any of this stuff since then, but lately I've been having these dreams where people are calling me by my old name, and some people are calling me by a name I've never heard of and I'm not sure how to pronounce it. In these dreams, there's great fires and people being attacked by strange animals and there are locusts everywhere. I always feel like everyone is terrified of me in these dreams and they are starting to really freak me out. Did my mother do something to me?
That’s why we now seeing the truth about all the evil that’s really going on in this world!! We see how corrupt and how the people in high place go hand and hand with the fallen angels and they off spring… it’s the birth of a new age just like the flood was
Ngl, these Apocalyptic visions sound just like what happened when I ate a funky dried fungus.
I dig what you guys bring to the table. Thank You
Sound commentary, and excellent animation.
Great explanation. Thank you for taking up this great task. God increase your wisdom. In Jesus' name.
Hmmn… I think for me, though, the Bible is the Most Important Book (not one of) in the world. In its entirety, nothing compares.
Thank you for opening me up more and more to this endless, refreshing Fountain.
Thanks
May I ask what do you use to produce these animations? Is there an email address that I could reach out?
Very very well described… May, from South Africa
My mother used to always say, "The darkest hour is just before the dawn". This reminded me of that.
I wish older Christians weren’t so… afraid. All I hear from my dad is that the world is ending, and he takes the Bible all too literally. He doesn’t understand that God wants us to be happy and rejoice, not to cower and be paranoid. 🙁
Paul was on horse . Not walking at the time of Jesus vision.. please ne more honest to tell story.. coz if i forward to new believer, he will be confused to believe video or Bible…

I was an athiest. I wanted to believe in God but to me it was the same as believing in Santa or the Easter bunny. It wasn't until I overdosed and left my body that I knew their was something more. I blacked out in my room and woke up in a green field with a blue sky. I looked up and seen a black dot in the sky, suddenly a huge explosion happened and that's when Jesus appeared before me. His face was as bright as the sun. I couldn't see any details of his face but his arms were a dark tan color. When he held his arms out to hug me the light got brighter and I felt so much warmth and peace and love, but also judgement. I looked down to see a dark pit and I started to feel myself freefalling down into it. The last thing I did was Think. NO! And looked back up to see christs hand already reaching down waiting for me to grab it. As soon as I grabbed his hand i woke up back in my room. I've felt so horrible about hating on jesus and God, it's people like me who would mock God, that usually end up experiencing and then serving God. It's ironic, but God has a sence of humor.
The more I watch Bible Project videos, the more I'm seeing that the Bible, ironically, wasn't meant for the average person, as every episode has to explain literary devices and the techniques used by the authors that is out of the realm of most average people. This is shown by how so many diverse groups with, in some cases, really diverse interpretations of the Bible all get their belief systems from the same place. It's no wonder why there are so many different sects and organizations all claiming to have the 'true' understanding. I'm not sure why God would have allowed for this kind of confusion.
farther up and farther in with Jesus
huge props for the artists! Magnificent drawings.
>>> The sealed scroll
Lucifer is looking to avoid judgment and Satan may have worked out a plan for him.
Satan was interested to corrupt Moses because of his status with God and may have been elected to open the sealed scroll. John wept when initially there was no one to open the sealed scroll. Satan took his body (Michael was upset with Satan). In other words, Satan found a ‘loophole’ in God’s justice plan.
God responded by sending the Lamb which Satan also tried to corrupt by offering him all the kingdoms of the world. Matthew 4:9, Satan offers control of the world to Jesus if he agrees to worship him (i.e follow his plan instead of God’s plan).
– What’s in for Moses in Satan’s plan –
Moses may have been promised to rule over Gentiles as a Pharaoh or to have them wipe off earth. After all, it’s Satan who has set the scene to give Pharaoh his status and empire and not God. (In the Book of Job, Satan set the scene for Job’s fall.)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
>>> Moses
Satan even corrupted Moses. The latter was in disagreement with God as shown by his various insubordination with God's commands. The subject of the disagreement is unknown. Moses was not interested in and did not enter the promised land.
According to Jude 1:9, Satan took the body of Moses and God did not oppose. Moses could be in a state as described by Ezekiel.
Ezekiel 37:1-10
The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry.
Moses will be restored once he accepts to God’s will.
>>> Fallen angels
Fallen angels had sexual relations with the daughters of men and produced the Nephilim. This event was not part of God’s plan but Satan, in order to create more chaos which would then lead to destruction of mankind to the delight of Lucifer. But were they all Nephilim (big and naughty) or were some kind who will eventually be known as Gentile.
If the Gentile was not part of God’s initial plan then they are doomed unless they ask God for salvation. In case God agrees to provide salvation to the kind Gentile then they would share Earth with the Jews. Is this the point of contention between God and Moses?

What are the images of GOD is it JESUS
This should be taught to most if not all Toxic brainwashed religious people who take the Bible to be literal.
What I also don’t like is when I see people on social media, and right next to their name they have a Bible verse…they act as if Bible verses are motivational speeches, and they pick out they’re favorite “quote” that resembles their life. Um no.
They are lying….human kind vs children of Israel
Revelation 1.1 and 1.19, get those two verses right, the book "unfolds" before you.
"Signified" John says he is using SIGNS to represent many things. The "SIGNS" represent something "literal" not the other way around.
Revelation 1.19 simply watch the verb tenses.
"Past tense", the things which you SAW….the glorified Jesus.
"Things that ARE…" PRESENT tense, the 7 churches that "are" present tense.
Lastly, "…after these things…" These things were the churches, and "after these" is FUTURE tense.
So, chapter 1…past tense.
Chapters 2-3…present tense.
Chapters 4-22 future tense.
Careful with the "signs", they are very SYMBOLIC, but not all of them.
May God bless you for these videos.
I would like to help
I got to understand how a big deal these animations are but the interpretation isn't accurate kindly
I’m currently on my journey back to the lord and I’ve come from a point where I couldn’t help but question the bible!!. My main question was how do I know if the bible wasn’t tampered with in the thousands of years that it has been here. I have faith in the lord but is my faith broken because I question the bible.
Well stated, revelation while a scary time that earth will go through, is truly about Gods restoration of our relationship with Him. I think it’s easy to get scared when reading revelation, but we so often forget to focus on the outcome! Maranatha
Spiritually seeing Paul is BRILLIANT visual storytelling!!!!!!!
Yes, it's a lot to take in, but I will get it ❤🙏🏾
I love this so much.
Thank you, Bible Project! For pointing me to Jesus, the Hope for all mankind
