  5. The latest development has been announced for a $500 billion “smart city” in Saudi Arabia which will be 33 times the size of New York. Developers of the Neom project have this week announced Leyja as an ecotourism destination within the confines which will sit at the Gulf of the Aqaba coast.

  7. I found the Noah story difficult, because it assumes hidden meanings, and the direct language is very brief. I interpreted it as a narrative of our relationships with Almighty God. God saves eight people whom believe in Him, and everybody else sleeps with the fishes, as one of the symbols of baptism by water. This means all of the kingdoms of the world are less important than God. This also reports that the symbol of the Great Flood is ongoing and happening, today, because everything of the human race is unimportant, except those who find Yahweh as their God: This puts the kings as second class citizens to Heaven, and Heaven turns away. The symbol of the rainbow is important, the pattern has been set, and God won't require another type of baptism of acceptance of Him. What I find exciting is God gives a provision for the family of God, including their property (that includes any animals), so that they may prosper. Vineyards in the Holy Bible are symbols of prosperity. Ham took advantage of Noah in his prosperity, somehow, and Ham was cursed, as he became king of the Canaanites.

  11. My guess, building the tower of Babel was like being hooked up to The Borg (Star Trek) that people were slaved and didn't even know to cry out. Not a good unity. Captain B-card was victim of the Borg in need of rescue. God confused language to set slaves free. My guess.

  15. Lots to chew on. I often wonder how some governments keep going when they are so anti-God and anti-people. Many do fall only to be taken again by other selfiish, cruel people. But some just continue on and on. It seems to me they play a huge role in prophecy, so if they fell, that might not work. But God… i used to wonder how "Babylon" could fall in a day. Well, after this near default, i get it. Or if those wanting to destroy our country in the name of their god, succeeded, that would set the snowball rolling, too. I never realized how fragile our freedom was and economic system, too, until the last 10 years or so. Only the Good Lord keeps it together.

  17. I don't get something: if Noah is from the line of Seth, how is Nimrod from the line of Cain? if the flood was to put an end to the Nephlim, how is it Nimrod one? I am missing the biblical foundations for these conclusions or ideas…. not saying they are wrong, only I am missing where did they get this from

  19. Oh, would you look at that: I'm learning about Bible lessons, how to live, and I'm not being yelled at or called a wh*re of Babylon by my mom for liking a boy.
    Nice! I love this.
    God is my real parent, in Jesus' name, Amen.

  21. The idea of Genesis being written Jews in Babylon is merely a theory. It was probably edited then, but it wasn't literally written then or it leads to a contradiction, for Moses is said to have written it. Moses had access to Joseph's records, which probably included all of Genesis.

  26. In the book of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar wanted the Jews to worship his golden statue. If the Babylonians succeeded in building the tower, they would have made the god man narrative of idolatry, like how Adam and Eve were tricked by the serpent that they could be gods and eat the knowledge fruit again. Is that right?

  28. Wow, just shared: so we should be leery to allow our hearts on a self-praising city devoid of God’s leadership? God cares about the means(?!)

    Rad scholarship to be able to jump into and be reminded of what is communicated by God and what I should do.

  29. Did Jesus see the good in cities like Babylon where even back then you there was a postal service for the people to send each other mail? Why else would He say that a city on a hill cannot be hidden?

  30. I’m reading The Richest Man in Babylon now and I have questions about living in ancient cities from a non-Biblical framework. Will you guys be doing a Q + R podcast as soon as this is wrapped up?

  32. Paul taught a LEAVENED doctrine = Truth- Bread (WORD OF GOD)

    mixed with LIES and man made rules = LEAVEN

    Messiah taught the instructions of YHVH!!

    Paul is the ONE that CAME AFTER MESSIAH, and sowed LEAVEN while EVERYONE was SLEEP!

    John 5:43, Mat 13:25, Mark 8:15, Matthew 16:11-12, Mat 24:23-30

    Paul contradicts Messiah MANY TIMES!

    Romans 10:9 – vs- Mat 7:21-24

    Paul NEVER had YHVH in HIM, how could Paul have The Father or Son abide in him, when Paul said NOTHING GOOD WAS IN HIM ?? = Romans 7:18

    1 John 4:13

    Hereby know we that we dwell IN HIM, and He IN US,

    because he hath given us of HIS Spirit.

    Pay attention to Paul's OWN testimony, He confessed he IS, not was, but IS serving the law of Sin with his flesh! = Romans 7:25

    Now if Paul would have said, I USED TO serve the Law of sin with my flesh, but Now, Praise be to Messiah, I AM FREE, and am no longer a SLAVE to sin, then Paul MIGHT have really Known God= THE TRUTH, IF THAT WAS REALLY THE CASE, and he was not just bearing FALSE testimony. BUT THATS NOT THE CASE!

    John 8:31-36

    Paul was LYING and giving FALSE testimony = Romans 3:7

    If by MY LIE, the truth of God abounds to His Glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner 🙁

    EVEN AT THAT TIME PPL CONDEMNED PAUL AS A SINNER AND EVERYONE ENDED UP REJCTED HIM = ALL 7 OF THE CHURCHES OF ASIA THAT JOHN WROTE!!

    2 Timothy 4:16

    2 Timothy 1:15

    2 Timothy 4:10

    Gal 4:14-16

    Zech 11:15-17

    John 15:10

    If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and remain in His love.

    1 John 2:4

    If anyone says, "I know Him," but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

    1 John 2:5

    But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:

    Paul could NOT keep GOD'S WORD, this is why Paul taught conflicting Teachings Only to WIN ppl to HIMSELF!

    Even when Paul read from the book of Moses, Paul did NOT keep The LAW of YHVH

    Mat 23:2-3

    1 Corinthians 9:20

    John 5:46

    Habakkuk 2:5

    Paul had NO master, not Master Messiah or FATHER GODALMIGHTY

    1 Corinthians 6:12

    All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful.

    All things are lawful for me

    I will not be mastered by ANYONE (τινος)

    “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.”

    Aleister Crowley = THE BEAST

    1 John 3:6

    No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning.

    No one who continues to sin has Discerns Him, or Recognizes Him.

    1 John 3:22

    and we will receive from Him whatever we ask, because we KEEP His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight.

    SATAN WOULD NOT LEAVE PAUL, B/C PAUL DID NOT KNOW OR LOVE YHVH, THIS IS WHY HIS PRAYERS WERE NOT ANSWERED

    2 Corinthians 12:7-8

    7 So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger (WORKER) of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited.

    8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me.

    if Paul was such a man of YHVH, then why was Paul given a worker of Satan, so he wouldn't become more VAIN, and why it NEVER left him, he is was made so perfect?? vs Matthew 5:48

    John 9:31

    We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him.

    1 John 2:3

    And hereby we do know that we know him, if we KEEP HIS commandments.

    1 John 2:4-6

    He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is A LAIR, and the truth is NOT IN HIM

    PAUL-1 Timothy 1:15 = CHIEF of ALL SINNER / NOT WAS, but IS!

    Paul didn't say he WAS chief of sinner- PAUL SAID HE IS CHIEF OF SINNERS

    Paul didn't say he USE to serve the law of sin, Paul said he DID SERVE THE LAW OF SIN WITH HIS FLESH!!- Romans 7:25

    Does giving people over to Satan save them??? – 1 Corinthians 5:5

    I thought ONLY YHVH Saves??

    Psalm 34:18 , Isaiah 43:1, John 10:10, Deuteronomy 32:39

    1 John 5:3

    For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are NOT burdensome

  34. This is a shot in the dark but have either of you read St. Augustine’s The City of God? It might help with the series. I recommend using Blinkist for getting the summary of it. Be blessed Tim and Jon.

  38. I've been working on a theory that there were multiple dispersions in the Bible, the first was the expulsion from Eden and the spread of mankind before the flood.
    The second was the deluge, all humanity is destroyed except for eight, and again, mankind spreads worldwide again.
    Third, at Babel, and language is dispersed. This one is significant, because while their language was confused, these master builders still had their skills, so they traveled the world and started building the super structures in Egypt, Malta, MesoAmerica and even the East Indies. These master builders should have also had boats (via Noah) and navigation to follow the peoples who dispersed post flood.

  45. The Tower of Babel the Tower they built to reach to the heavens proves Gods Firmament Earth – level, does not move, stationary. Above the earth is the heavens straight up. No God watching a flying spinning ball in black space. No blackness in heaven only light! We have night and day created directly for human life. 24 hour time clock. Sun and Moon for light by day and night.

    The world wide flood also proves the firmament earth. Level. Water always finds its level, does not bend spinning in a ball. Water is contained, is level.

    Biblical Cosmology no Evolutions lies and theories.

    Gravity means weight.
    Birds fly because they have wings to fly through the ➡️air. Nothing pushing them down.
