Amazing work guys ❤
This is so beautiful 😍
One thing I would wish you would do one day, is talk about judgement, God's wrath and hell. Because it is all coming. If you preach one half of the story, does that excuse you for leaving out the equally important other half? Because as much as we fear the devil, it's Jesus' wrath at the end of the world that is far worse than anything he could hope to do to us. In fact, he's beyond terrified of that day.
Hell is real. It's uncomfortable yes, but Jesus said so himself. "Narrow is the path to salvation, and broad is the path to evil". We cannot shy away from hell, because it is the ultimate reality of those who do not take God seriously and go about their lives in sin, even if they claim to "believe in Jesus". Because if you "believe" but don't do anything with that belief and that "faith", you're not saved. And being too afraid to talk about that is downright deadly. I don't mean to offend, I love your channel, even more now in the age of mind numbing lazy AI slop. You guys are awesome. But I know even you cannot deny this: God's anger cannot be ignored, or the risk of you experiencing it will be much higher.
And remember before he delivered them, He allowed them to stay in the proverbial wilderness (in their case as slaves) in Egypt for 400 years! Then he led them through the actual wilderness 40 years. Both, because of their rebellion against Him
Love the videos and the art behind it and also how you are changing lives, thank you
I need a love button for these videos. ❤
Thank you for using real artists to create your content! It's so disappointing that many Christian channels turn to AI now. Those AI videos are pumped out without effort, feel robotic, soulless and isolating, and many use AI as a way to get quick views, rather than really caring about reaching people. Which is not how we should be spreading the gospel. So I really appreciate the work that is put into BibleProject!
5:43 Crazy I wasn't going to watch the end part where they explain the video but decided to stay. Its pretty cool with how they connected all scenes with the repeating patterns in the wilderness!! So good @bibleproject!!!
So amazing story connecting Jesus and us in our real life.
It feels illegal to watch this for free
Love love Love this
2:07 Hagar wasn’t abused. She and her bond son were sent out.
God sightings- a dandelion. 🌱
Awesome videos guys 😊
Amazing VIDEO. I love it.
How extravagantly beautiful it is to see the journey To God, IS Our Trial and Tribulation in order to characterize Our Absolute Resolve to endure for God’s Way and to Persevere over the Longsuffering of the wilderness that can be treacherous and tormenting with its many challenges; however do not lose Heart, as towards the end IS Our Salvation.
Jesus already IS there awaiting all of God’s Children to be welcomed into Abundance and Everlasting Love in the Peace of True Being In God’s Kingdom. 🙏🏽
This is wonderful 🙏❤️🙏
Amazing! Thanks for sharing, BibleProject! ❤️❤️❤️
The Bible project is so amazing. Thank you and thank GOD for your amazing work. 🙌🏽
I love interpretation of the wilderness
“Absolutely transformed by this message! 🌿 The truths shared here resonate deeply, so grateful to have watched.
amazing. thank you BibleProject
I love this channel’s videos, they’ve really helped me understand Jesus’s teachings as well as the Bible’s, how can I support it?, where’s the Patreon?
Trust God with our lives… ok, so I didn't choose to come here and overall dislike it. So i need to trust that God's plan and goals simply need to be trusted and followed. And the Bible is our only real direction. Sorry, but none of this seems worthwhile in any significant way. It's getting harder and harder to go along with this game as I age. I don't find it meaningful anymore and am struggling to see the point. God wants to save humanity. So? They're the worst bunch of jerks I've ever met.
I commenting just to say to the Biblie project team that you have blessed me throuout the years. And I praise the Lord by your work.
This was so helpful and beautiful!! I've never heard it explained that we, too, are in the wilderness right now- with God at our side as he was for the Israelites. Thank you for all your hard work!!
Well done team. Really appreciate your effort.
Thanks God.
Love it team. Thank you so much!
This video is BEAUTIFUL. This is a great video. Excellent way of relating daily challenges that force us to seek Him. I call this “my journey” or “your journey”.
I really thank you for this video. I realized the correlation of this message and my own life THROUGH GOD.
Continue to help call the others. 🙏🏻
ahh so its ok to show Adams butt, but not eves huh… lol
That was beautiful
I wonder if Jesus Christ sent also His disciples in the wilderness because He said I will send like a sheep among the wolves and to this day Christians are still in the wilderness
Great one guys!
🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿 we are in the wilderness……
Praise the Lord!
Wilderness and redemption are two things I’ve been thinking about lol
We have more than we could want but not nearly enough of what we need – in this despair of modern decadence Jesus offers us what we actually need.
Its so refreshing and full of faith. It just revitalised my soul wholly. I'm in a desolate state, and this WILDERNESS theology has comforted me so much. Thank you! ❤
I'm literally in tears over the beauty of this message. Thank you guys. Be blessed!
Loveeeed the behind the scenes. Thank you!
