Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey through scripture together, drawing closer to the heart of God. In today's episode, host Hunter invites us into the fourth day of the new year's reading plan, reminding us that the pages of the Bible point us to the living Word—Jesus, who brings life and abundance. We dive into Genesis chapters 9 through 11, exploring God's covenant with Noah, the beginnings of nations after the flood, and the story of the Tower of Babel. Our reading continues in Luke 4, where Jesus, filled with the Spirit, faces temptation in the wilderness and launches His ministry with a message of hope for everyone—inside and outside the expected boundaries. As Hunter reflects on these scriptures, we are challenged to open our hearts wider, recognizing that God's love and grace reach beyond the borders we set. Today is an invitation to see God's favor poured out on the unexpected, to pray for all people, and to participate in the healing, freedom, and joy that Jesus proclaims. Let's step forward together, grounded in the assurance that we are deeply loved—no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He's outside the bounds and borders of where we expect him to be. He is present with those that we think are disqualified from his care, his healing and his love. They're from places like Zarephath in Sidon, or from the land of Syria, gentile lands, borderlands among people that are our enemies, people that we think are enemies of God, people we think are headed for destruction. And yet here's Jesus preaching His first sermon in a church service and proclaiming that God is with them too. That God's favor, His healing, his mercy, his grace is with those people too. This made no sense to his listeners. It offended their religious sensibilities to the core. So much so that Luke tells us that they tried to kill him afterwards. But Jesus will not be stopped. He will not be silenced, and his message will continue to be proclaimed. Jesus comes to show us that God is not a tribal deity. No, he is the God of all tribes. He is the God of all the earth. And his love for the world and its people is reaching into places that our religious minds and our offended minds say are outside the bounds of God's grace. So let's beware of drawing borders around God's love and his grace. Let's look carefully at how Jesus begins His ministry here in his very first sermon. And let us understand well what the Spirit of God is saying to his people. The good News is for the poor. Captives are released, the blind are seeing, the oppressed are set free. And the time of the Lord's favor has come. And Jesus says that that favor has come to everyone, inside and outside of whatever borders we have constructed. And that is good news for all of us. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will participate with him in seeing and proclaiming and experiencing the favor and love of God in my own life and in the lives of all people. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so.   TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

Again, David's Psalms command our attention. All of Psalm 9 is a marvelous overview of God's plan and purpose with human beings and the earth. At times God transports David's thoughts into the future when he, and those God counts as righteous, will say to their Creator, “You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever. The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins … the very memory of them has perished.” [v.5,6]On the other side of the picture, in contrast to this vision of annihilation, the next verses say, “But the LORD sits enthroned forever; he has established his throne for justice, he judges the earth with righteousness …” [v.7,8] A marvelous summary of how the kingdom of God will function.Our Genesis reading tells us of Noah and his family in the ark and then stepping out onto a cleansed earth, all the godless having been destroyed. God promises Noah that he will never “again strike down every living creature” despite “man's heart being evil from his youth.” [8 v.21] Not many generations pass before men build the tower of Babel and as a result God “confused the languages of all the earth” and caused men to spread out “over the face of all the earth” [11 v.6-9]So the renewal of belief and faith with Noah and his family did not last. Abraham's father and brother “served other Gods.” [Josh 24 v.2] We can see some comparison between Noah and his sons and the huge spiritual renewal that followed the widespread translation and printing of the Bible 300 to 400 years ago. But that renewal has now faded away and how few have the understanding and faith of Abraham to whom the Gospel was first preached (see.Gal. 3 v8). The blessings to come on the nations through this gospel are David's vision in this ninth Psalm.How marvelous is v.10, “And those who know your name put their trust in you. For you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you” But “the nations have sunk into the pit that they made, in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.” [v.15] To “know” is more than to just understanding, it is to have a relationship – read Psalm 95 v.1-7 – John 17 v.3Let us seek the Lord. Those who know God, who truly believe, will make the final 2 verses of this Psalm their prayer. “Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before you! Put them in fear, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men!”Later in Matthew we will read the words of Jesus, “whoever humbles himself will be exalted” [23 v.12] God will humble those who do not humble themselves. Let us not be caught up in the spirit around us, that is that human beings believe they are gaining all the answers to life and its meaning and that there is no need to seek God, or even believe he exists. Let us ponder Psalm 14 and reflect upon it

What if ancient Israel didn't start out believing in one God? In this groundbreaking episode, Oxford Professor Emeritus Dr. John Day reveals how archaeological evidence and biblical texts themselves show that early Israelites worshipped multiple deities from the Canaanite pantheon. With over 40 years of scholarship and doctorates from both Cambridge and Oxford, Dr. Day takes us on a fascinating journey through the religious landscape of ancient Canaan, where Yahweh was originally just one god among many, including El, Baal, and even goddesses like Asherah who was worshipped alongside Yahweh in the Jerusalem temple.Dr. Day traces the revolutionary transformation from polytheism to monotheism, showing how Yahweh absorbed attributes from other gods like El (becoming equated with him) while rejecting others like Baal. We explore how mythological creatures like Leviathan were borrowed from Canaanite sources, why "Israel" contains the name El rather than Yahweh, and how true monotheism didn't emerge until the Babylonian exile with Second Isaiah's radical declaration: "I am Yahweh, and there is no other." This conversation will challenge and deepen your understanding of how the biblical faith developed over centuries.In this episode you will learn:Why Deuteronomy 32:8-9 suggests Yahweh received Israel as his portion among 70 godsHow El and Yahweh were originally separate deities who later merged into oneThe shocking evidence that some Israelites worshipped Asherah as Yahweh's wifeWhy Baal was rejected while El was embraced in Israelite religionHow the seven-headed Leviathan from Canaanite mythology became part of Yahweh's identityThe difference between monolatry ("worship only one god") and monotheism ("only one god exists")King Josiah's radical 621 BC reformation that centralized worship in JerusalemWhy the Babylonian exile was the catalyst for absolute monotheismHow these Canaanite connections appear in the New Testament (Beelzebub, Revelation's seven-headed dragon)Why understanding this evolution enriches rather than threatens faithGuest's Work: Get Dr. Day's groundbreaking book "Yahweh and the Gods and Goddesses of Canaan": https://a.co/d/h6gCyuGAlso check out his extensive work on Genesis: "From Creation to Babel" and "From Creation to Abraham"Stay Connected with The Dig In Podcast: Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyova Follow all things Johnny Ova: https://linktr.ee/johnnyova Get Johnny's book "The Revelation Reset": https://a.co/d/hiUkW8H#BiblicalArchaeology #AncientNearEast #Monotheism #Canaanite #Yahweh #BiblicalStudies #ChristianHistory #OldTestament #HebrewBible #AncientIsrael #BiblicalScholarship #ChurchHistory #Theology #ReligiousStudies #DigInPodcastSupport the show

WRITTEN IN THE STARS FOR SIGNS AND TIMES Genesis 1:14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years. Ancient Egypt and Babylon were the first civilizations to study the stars, and in Babylon around the time of the birth of Jesus, some wise men called Magi, who were scholars and astronomers noticed something extraordinary in the heavens. For centuries the Magi (where our word magic comes from) had studied the Jewish prophecies passed down during Israel's captivity in Babylon, and those prophesies included the foretelling of a Messiah. When an unusually bright convergence of planets began to shine as an apparent brilliant star in the eastern sky, they interpreted it as the sign of a great ruler's birth.  The Bible says that the stars speak forth the knowledge of God, and we see that that includes the birth of Jesus.  Psalm 19:1-4 The heavens declare the glory of God and his splendour is written in the stars. Day after day utters knowledge and the night sky unveils knowledge to us all. Their instruction (qaw - rule) has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. - The life of Jesus, as the Word astonishingly revealed in the heavenly stars.  And God said to Job, ‘Can you lay out Mazzaroth (from Nazar – divine purpose - Strongs Concordance says the 12 signs of the Zodiac- the path or the way) Do you know the ordinances (prescribed arrangement) of the heavens? Can you ordain their authority over the earth? (Job38:32) The Godly significance of this cannot be ignored or dismissed. But this knowledge was corrupted in ancient times, firstly through idolatry to the Egyptian sun god Ra where calculations of the positions of the stars was used for the building and usage of the pyramids. And the popular use of the zodiac in today's world is associated with superstition and fortune telling. Counterfeiting is robbery - robbing God of glory for the trickery of man. But in the Babylonian main temple depictions of the zodiac reveal archaeological findings that the zodiac was associated with the biblical Tower of Babel. indicating that the current naming of the constellations was of Babylonian origin thought to be around 500 years BC – this roughly coincides with Daniel's ministry to the king during the captivity of Israel and the Bible says that Daniel was ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers who were in all his realm(Daniel 1:20). I am only joining Scriptural dots there and inferring the Daniel connection, and there is no solid historical documentation of various other cultures and constellation names. Remarkably however, the original twelve Babylonian constellations start with the sign of Virgo and end with the sign of Leo. The depiction of Virgo is a sphinx, with the face of a woman and the body of a lion, a clue to the beginning and end points of the life of Jesus, representing the virgin birth and Jesus returning as the Lion of Judah to complete the message of the Gospel - because remarkedly again the 12th zodiac sign is that of Leo the lion. The constellations in between tell the astounding story of the life and ministry of Jesus for humanity. The second sign is Libra, the scales that weigh humanity in the balance after the creation of Adam, followed by Scorpio, denoting the fall of mankind through the attack of darkness upon humanity. We may look at the compelling story of the other constellations more closely at another time. Back to the Christmas story. The Magi (and the Bible doesn't say how many) set out on a long journey westward to where this bright star shone. The Gospel of Matthew says In the days of Herod the king, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it arose and have come to worship him (Matthew 2:1). Their inquiries about the “new king of the Jews” reached the ears of Herod the Great, the local ruler appointed by Rome, and he feared that this child might threaten his dynasty, a potential Messiah heralding a kingdom that could upend his tenuous grip on power. He called in his scribes, demanded answers, and they pointed to the ancient prophecy of Micah, which pinpointed Bethlehem as the birthplace of the Messiah. pretence, Herod craftily met the Magi, urging them to locate the child and report back so he could “worship” him too.  The Wise Men continued following the radiant star, and Matthew writes ‘And when they were come into the house (oikia – family house – there is no mention of a  stable in the bible, only a manger – feeding trough), they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him:' (Matthew 2:11). Inside, the wise men found the child, Jesus, with Mary and Joseph. And they reverently knelt and worshipped him, presenting gifts of profound spiritual significance: Gold – Godly stewardship of material and entrusted with the spiritual. (Luke 16:11) Frankincense - prayer and presence and spiritual devotion. (Psalm 141:2) Myrrh - sharing the sacrificial suffering of Jesus for self and others. (Philippians 3:10). Warned in a dream by an angel not to return to Herod, the Magi quickly departed, and then the same angel appeared to Joseph, instructing him to flee with Mary and Jesus to Egypt to escape Herod's wrath. Herod was furious at being outwitted, and he ordered the massacre of all the male children in Bethlehem under the age of two, just as Pharoah ordered the massacre of all male children at the time of the birth of Moses. Pharoah, like Herod feared for his own dynasty, and Moses became the deliverer/saviour of Israel and here Jesus became the deliverer/saviour of the world. But Herod died soon after, and an angel appeared to Joseph again, instructing him to return to Israel. But learning that Herod's cruel son, Antipas, ruled Judea, Joseph was wary, and was guided by the angel to lead his family to Nazareth in Galilee.  The journey of the Wise Men is prophetic of the precision of how God's purposes unfold in our lives also, even in the midst of our own mistakes and frailties and suffering and attacks of darkness. Just as the life of Jesus was written in eternity, God has eternally written the narrative of our lives also. David said in Psalm 139 ‘Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! (Psalms 139:16). God told Abraham that his descendants would be as the sand of the sea and the stars of the sky (Genesis 22:17). The sand represents Israel, of the earth, and the stars represent the Holy Spirit in the lives of multitudes of believers. So just as the witness of the stars was a witness of the life of Jesus, the Bible says that the witness of the brightness of the stars is a witness to the measure of the life of God on display in our lives as well.  Daniel 12:3 Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the expanse of the heavens, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever. 1 Corinthians 15:40 There are also heavenly bodies (soma - entities or things) and earthly bodies; but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star  differs from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. The bodily state of being is sown in decay and raised in immortality, it is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory.  The Sun is seen symbolically as the Father, and the Moon is seen as Jesus who reflected the light of the sun. The stars are seen as the Holy Spirit within our lives, from one measure of transformation into the likeness of Jesus to the next – from glory to glory. 2 Corinthians 3:18 All of us, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. The more we consciously behold Jesus by faith, in our lives here on earth, the more we become transformed to become like him. The way we are told to measure our faith in this life involves how much we know and understand the love of God for us, and how much we live a life of his love to others (1John 3:17-18).  Paul describes the transformation process for our lives.  Ephesians 3:22 put off your old self, which belongs to your former way of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds (repentance), and to put on the New Creation self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. This process is one of moving from our old self reality which is based on our idea of who we are to moving to our new creation reality in Christ, which is God's idea of who we are. We will feel insufficient in ourselves and our own strength as we go through times of trial and suffering, but his loving presence is always with us, and that depends on our faith in God's idea of who we are not on our idea, or how we feel.  2 Corinthians 4:6-7 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the presence of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; That new mindset of faith in being partakers of the divine nature of God is the good news of the Gospel. And knowing that and believing that is our salvation. Paul OSullivan - pauloss@me.com

In this episode, Justin Ebert sits down with Ryan Vincent and Drew Moss to discuss some of the big questions from Genesis 3-11. Are we reading into the text by seeing the Trinity in Genesis? Did God really flood the whole world? Was God just being mean or gracious by destroying those people? Who are the Nephilim? And what does the tower of Babel have to do with the rest of the Bible?

Roma, la pasión por Roma es el tema que nos une en torno a la radio en la torre de Babel, con tres géneros diferentes que abordan la historia del imperio desde diferentes puntos de vista, un ensayo, una novela súper ventas y un cómic publicado en Aragón. Sobre nuestra mesa, la nueva entrega de Santiago Posteguillo en su monumental proyecto de contar la vida de Julio César, una nueva novela que narra la guerra de las Galias como nunca nos la habían contado. La Roma más cercana, la que construyó la ciudad desde la que les hablamos es nuestra segunda propuesta, “De salduie a Caesar augusta” es el título del ensayo que sobre la presencia romana en el valle del Ebro publica el profesor de la universidad de Zaragoza Francisco Beltran. Y de postre, “Roma Derrotada”, la primera parte de una trilogía “Celtiberia en Guerra”, que publica GP ediciones y resume, en forma de cómic las tres guerras celtibéricas.

#DiskusiInteraktif Menyoroti kinerja penyelenggara pemilu usai Wagub Bangka Belitung menjadi tersangka karena menggunakan ijazah palsu [TALK] Pengamat Politik/Mantan Anggota MPR RI, Jusuf Suroso& Mantan Ketua Panwaslu Jakarta, yang juga Pengamat Pemilu, Ramdansyah

Isaiah 11:2-9The spirit of the Lord shall rest on him,the spirit of wisdom and understanding,the spirit of counsel and might,the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.His delight shall be in the fear of the Lord. He shall not judge by what his eyes see,or decide by what his ears hear;but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.Righteousness shall be the belt around his waist,and faithfulness the belt around his loins. The wolf shall live with the lamb,the leopard shall lie down with the kid,the calf and the lion and the fatling together,and a little child shall lead them.The cow and the bear shall graze,their young shall lie down together;and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.The nursing child shall play over the hole of the asp,and the weaned child shall put its hand on the adder's den.They will not hurt or destroy on all my holy mountain;for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lordas the waters cover the sea. A friend suggested a repriseof a sermon I gave years agoShe called it a rap, but I'm not that cool.It was a poem, at best, it read like a slam.I thought I'd give it another go.But history never repeats itselfIt often rhymes, they say.So I won't do a re-run, that would be lame,But I'll try something new– in the same vein –about this baby who's on the way.I'm no Andrea Gibson or Maya AngelouNo Shel Silverstein or Doctor SeussI'm a preacher whose preached Christmas, 24 years plus oneSo something a bit different seemed like something more fun.I could preach and pontificate, I've done that beforeI could rant, rail, and scare – you can get that next door.Maybe this will inspire both your heart and your headAnd keep you from dreaming of sugar plums and bed.The last time I did this –rhymed my way through Christmas Eve –My youngest – Max – had just been bornMy oldest – Jack – wasn't yet 3.So much has changed, since then, for sure18 years back, where'd you do Christmas Eve?Think of what's different in your life and our worldDid you celebrate something? Or have something to grieve?And how have things been in just the last year?More joys than sorrows, I pray.As we gather again, with our candles and carols,Are you counting your blessings? Or just surviving the day?Whatever it is, this time around,I hope God meets you in this placeThat's the message of Christmas: Immanuel – God with usAnd among us, come what may.And again, history doesn't repeat itselfBut they say it often rhymesThat seems to be true where faith is concernedAnd how God shows up in real timeSo let's see what rhymes this Christmas EveLet's turn back the clock to hearSomething old that could be new againIf we let God's love come near.The history of faith's peoplebegan in a garden long agoWhere God breathed life into dust and bonesBut God's children just couldn't say “no.”They refused to keep their hands offof a tree that promised liesThey heard God in the sound of the evening breezeAnd hid from angry eyesBut God's eyes of righteous judgementEnvisioned hope in equal portionThe Creator could see, beyond their Sin,A future of salvation.Soon there was that awful floodbut God saved the family of Noahand made a promise to love without endAnd sealed it with a bow.Then there was that Babel tower – Humanity tried to reach the divineTheir sins of Greed and Pride and PowerGot them scattered far and wideGenerations laterGod's Chosen Ones were slaves set freeLost and afraid, but guided,By clouds and fire their eyes could seeThey were passed over and sparedAnd they crossed through the Red SeaThey wandered the wilderness,And they followed God's leadAnd there were tablets and tabernaclesSerpents, wonders and signsAll proof of God's presenceThe same, but different, each timeBecause history doesn't repeat itself,But like God's grace, it rhymes.And across generations this history rhymedAs God's people mastered losing their wayThey counted their sins and hid from their GodLetting judgement and shame win the dayBut God was never into just counting our SinFor the sake of proving us wrongGod was all about leading with mercy and loveSo we'd make a world that sounds like a songA song of hope for those with noneA song of faith when fear has wonA song of peace when wars still rageA song of love that might turn the pageA song that rhymes, not repeats, in beautiful waysthat started anew with a SonWho was born so we'd see just what grace could dowhen we walk in the way of God's love Because it's not about you and it's not about meIt's all about “us” and about “them”It's about how – together – we're part of this planTo love one and all to the endBecause God may still show up in rainbows and cloudsIn signs, in miracles, in dreamsBut Jesus showed up to show God revealedin people like you and like meWe're alike and we're different in beautiful waysWe live and we move and we breatheWe walk common ground, we fear, long, and needBut still forget who are neighbors can beLike Jesus they don't have a safe place to landLike his was, their world isn't safeLike Jesus they rely on the kindness of strangersLike him they're dependent on graceHe's the gay kid that's bulliedHe knows about poor, single momsHe's the Dad with no papersHe hides underground from bombsHe shelters-in-place in the classroomHe takes cover beneath pewsHe's on both sides of our borderAnd he's exhausted by our newsHis nights aren't as silent As we pretend they should beHis future's not certainAnd he looks to you and to meIn Jesus God shows up, draws close, comes nearIn Christ, God comes down from on highIn Jesus we're called to do more of the same:To get off our cloud and no longer denyThat grace isn't just ours,it's ours to share at all costsThis Gospel's only good newsWhen it's shared with the lostAnd God knows what it is to be utterly lostThis boy showed up and got lost on the CrossHe died there for our sake, so that we could seeWhat “once and for all” actually means.If you need it today, then take it, for sureIf you're hungry then, please, have your fillBut let this grace find, free, and change youuntil your life overflows with goodwillGoodwill not just for men, but for women, tooAnd for everyone else in-between.Goodwill for the ones who are broken and hurtingFor the hopeless, the loveless, the mean.So, what might make Christmas rhyme once again?We can't repeat the coming of this ChildBut if God stepped into skin once way back thenGod can surely take root in our lives Because we've seen it time after time beforehistory rhymes it doesn't repeatSo let God show up this Christmas, once moreMaking us Love's voice, hands, and feet.Amen. Merry Christmas.

Ötzi is the name of a frozen man discovered in the Alps. He lived after the tower of Babel, but before the time of Abraham.

Todd has Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Jason Lisle back in the studio today for Wretched Radio. Segment 1 • UFOs are a perennially hot topic, but most have a reasonable explanation. • Belief in aliens often fills a void for people in the realm of ultimate questions. • We're not alone, because God is already here—and He's revealed the truth. Segment 2 • Most UFO sightings are predictable science, not extraterrestrial visitors. • Scripture makes Earth the center of God's plan—no need for alien saviors. • The burden isn't on Christians to disprove aliens, but on skeptics to prove them. Segment 3 • The world's climate has always changed, and warming has historically been a positive thing. • Modern panic relies on conjectural models, not measurable facts. • Carbon isn't the enemy; it fuels food, life, and growth. Segment 4 • Climate alarmism thrives on fear because fear drives power and control. • God promised stable seasons—global collapse isn't coming. • Using technology to heal honors God; using it to replace Him repeats Babel. ___ Thanks for listening!

In this episode of Nephilim Death Squad, Raven and Matt Hepner break down and react to the documentary Age of Disclosure, exposing the modern UFO disclosure agenda, government narrative control, and the spiritual deception hiding behind “alien transparency.”This is not a surface-level review. We examine:The federal UFO disclosure push and why it's happening nowThe Vatican, the LUCIFER telescope, and Mount GrahamTimothy Alberino, Watchers theology, and pre-Flood narrativesStargates, portals, pharmakeia, and biblical gatewaysWhy “aliens” are not extraterrestrial—but interdimensionalHow disclosure primes the world for a false savior narrativeThe Days of Noah, the Tower of Babel cycle, and end-times deceptionThis episode connects Scripture, ancient history, intelligence operations, and modern propaganda to show why disclosure is not about truth—but control.

You may have heard the story of the Tower of Babel, but what's the big deal? In this message, Pastor Brian Caplinger details the heart issue behind the people's efforts to outshine God and how God met them in grace.December 14, 2025

What if the key to understanding the Bible's supernatural storyline has been hiding in plain sight—on every mountain peak from Genesis to Revelation?Dr. Joel Muddamalle returns to break down the cosmic mountain motif: an ancient Near Eastern concept that shaped how the Hebrews understood everything from Eden to the temple to the final battle. Mountains weren't hiking destinations—they were portals. Meeting places. Contested territory between Yahweh and the rebellious sons of God.In this episode, we explore why Eden was almost certainly elevated, how the Tower of Babel was humanity's attempt to build their own sacred peak, what made Mount Hermon the headquarters of evil, and why God chose Sinai to reveal His personal name to Moses. Joel walks us through the cosmic geography that connects Sheol, the abyss, and the heavenly throne room—all anchored to the mountain image.Plus: we officially announce Stranger Theology, our new theological project.

Note: this is Pliny and John's first major podcast. Voices have been changed for opsec. From jailbreaking every frontier model and turning down Anthropic's Constitutional AI challenge to leading BT6, a 28-operator white-hat hacker collective obsessed with radical transparency and open-source AI security, Pliny the Liberator and John V are redefining what AI red-teaming looks like when you refuse to lobotomize models in the name of "safety." Pliny built his reputation crafting universal jailbreaks—skeleton keys that obliterate guardrails across modalities—and open-sourcing prompt templates like Libertas, predictive reasoning cascades, and the infamous "Pliny divider" that's now embedded so deep in model weights it shows up unbidden in WhatsApp messages. John V, coming from prompt engineering and computer vision, co-founded the Bossy Discord (40,000 members strong) and helps steer BT6's ethos: if you can't open-source the data, we're not interested. Together they've turned down enterprise gigs, pushed back on Anthropic's closed bounties, and insisted that real AI security happens at the system layer—not by bubble-wrapping latent space. We sat down with Pliny and John to dig into the mechanics of hard vs. soft jailbreaks, why multi-turn crescendo attacks were obvious to hackers years before academia "discovered" them, how segmented sub-agents let one jailbroken orchestrator weaponize Claude for real-world attacks (exactly as Pliny predicted 11 months before Anthropic's recent disclosure), why guardrails are security theater that punishes capability while doing nothing for real safety, the role of intuition and "bonding" with models to navigate latent space, how BT6 vets operators on skill and integrity, why they believe Mech Interp and open-source data are the path forward (not RLHF lobotomization), and their vision for a future where spatial intelligence, swarm robotics, and AGI alignment research happen in the open—bootstrapped, grassroots, and uncompromising. We discuss: What universal jailbreaks are: skeleton-key prompts that obliterate guardrails across models and modalities, and why they're central to Pliny's mission of "liberation" Hard vs. soft jailbreaks: single-input templates vs. multi-turn crescendo attacks, and why the latter were obvious to hackers long before academic papers The Libertas repo: predictive reasoning, the Library of Babel analogy, quotient dividers, weight-space seeds, and how introducing "steered chaos" pulls models out-of-distribution Why jailbreaking is 99% intuition and bonding with the model: probing token layers, syntax hacks, multilingual pivots, and forming a relationship to navigate latent space The Anthropic Constitutional AI challenge drama: UI bugs, judge failures, goalpost moving, the demand for open-source data, and why Pliny sat out the $30k bounty Why guardrails ≠ safety: security theater, the futility of locking down latent space when open-source is right behind, and why real safety work happens in meatspace (not RLHF) The weaponization of Claude: how segmented sub-agents let one jailbroken orchestrator execute malicious tasks (pyramid-builder analogy), and why Pliny predicted this exact TTP 11 months before Anthropic's disclosure BT6 hacker collective: 28 operators across two cohorts, vetted on skill and integrity, radical transparency, radical open-source, and the magic of moving the needle on AI security, swarm intelligence, blockchain, and robotics — Pliny the Liberator X: https://x.com/elder_plinius GitHub (Libertas): https://github.com/elder-plinius/L1B3RT45 John V X: https://x.com/JohnVersus BT6 & Bossy BT6: https://bt6.gg Bossy Discord: Search "Bossy Discord" or ask Pliny/John V on X Where to find Latent Space X: https://x.com/latentspacepod Substack: https://www.latent.space/ Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction: Meet Pliny the Liberator and John V 00:01:50 The Philosophy of AI Liberation and Jailbreaking 00:03:08 Universal Jailbreaks: Skeleton Keys to AI Models 00:04:24 The Cat-and-Mouse Game: Attackers vs Defenders 00:05:42 Security Theater vs Real Safety: The Fundamental Disconnect 00:08:51 Inside the Libertas Repo: Prompt Engineering as Art 00:16:22 The Anthropic Challenge Drama: UI Bugs and Open Source Data 00:23:30 From Jailbreaks to Weaponization: AI-Orchestrated Attacks 00:26:55 The BT6 Hacker Collective and BASI Community 00:34:46 AI Red Teaming: Full Stack Security Beyond the Model 00:38:06 Safety vs Security: Meat Space Solutions and Final Thoughts

Since the Tower of Babel, humanity has been divided by race, economics, and culture—but the coming of Christ changed everything. In this message from Galatians 3:28, Dr. John Neufeld explores how Jesus creates "one new humanity" by breaking down the walls of hostility between Jew and Greek, slave and free, male and female. Christ becomes bigger than our politics, culture, and divisions, uniting vastly different people as brothers and sisters in one family of faith.Christmas From Galatians: This Christmas, Dr. John takes an unprecedented approach to the season by exploring why Jesus' coming was absolutely necessary. Through the book of Galatians, this series traces God's plan from Abraham's promise through the giving of the Law to the arrival of Christ. Discover why the Law was never meant to save us but to diagnose our condition, how Jesus fulfilled what we could never accomplish, and how Christmas opened the door for all people to become sons and daughters of God.

The holidays can feel like a collision—warm lights and hard memories, generosity campaigns and a quiet fear that there still won't be enough. We lean into that tension and ask a harder question: what would it take to move from being inspired by generosity to becoming intentional about it? Starting with Advent's core meaning—waiting—we explore why “no room at the inn” is more than a nativity detail. It's a mirror for our scarcity mindset and a signpost to a different economy.We trace the human tendency to mistrust the Host through Genesis: grasping in Eden, rivalry with Cain and Abel, consolidation at Babel, and Abraham and Sarah's shortcut with Hagar. Each story shows how trying to manufacture blessing unravels us. Then we turn to Israel's laws of gleaning in Deuteronomy, where God reorders life around margin—leave something for the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow. This is practical, local, and relational generosity, built on memory: remember slavery, remember redemption, and let remembrance shape how you give your time, money, and attention.From there, we unpack 2 Corinthians 9 as a grounded blueprint for giving: decide in your heart, give cheerfully without pressure, trust God's provision, practice wisdom without weaponizing scrutiny, refuse strings attached, and build intention into your calendar and budget. Along the way we address the pain many feel around church and money, and we offer a path that centers love, trust, and proximity to real needs. Love gave first. That's the pattern that breaks scarcity and turns resources into good news.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs encouragement this season, and leave a review to help others find it.

At Babel, the people were united in pride and defiance of God, building a tower to make a name for themselves. But God, in His mercy, came down when pride rose up, scattering the nations and reminding us that true greatness comes only through obedience to Him.

Send us a textGUEST: PASTOR DARRELL HARRISON, Co-Host, Just Thinking PodcastFive times each day the Muslim call to prayer sounds from mosques in Minneapolis. One might expect this in an Islamic country like Saudi Arabia or Iran, but in the United States, a nation that was founded and operated on distinctly Christian principles? The founders likely made the assumption that our nation would be and remain Christian, as early immigrants came from Christian European nations. They probably thought future Americans wouldn't be so foolish as to welcome hundreds of thousands of Muslims.But those with an unbiblical worldview of secular and religious humanism have taken power and hold to the spirit of Babel—that uniting all religions and peoples together will make us good and united. That will not work with Islam and its mission to dominate the world. Europe has puts its very existence at risk in bringing millions of Muslims into its nations and towns and now America is doing the same in Minneapolis, Dearborn, MI, New York City, and elsewhere.Darrell Harrison, shepherding and teaching pastor at Redeemer Bible Church (Gilbert, AZ) and the co-host of the popular Just Thinking Podcast, joins us to explain how Islam is less a religion but rather a political ideology of domination and how Christians should respond.----------------------Program Notes:Just Thinking PodcastRedeemer Bible Church (Gilbert, AZ)Manger in Danger - ON SALE - $30!  Order by Dec 16 for Christmas DeliveryYear-End Support of The Christian Worldview

This includes all of the visa-free countries. Not only is this dystopian, it barely scratches the surface! The legislation also includes submitting phone numbers from the last 5 years, email addresses from the last decade and "when feasible," IP addresses, photo metadata and biometric identifiers including facial recognition, fingerprints, DNA and iris data. Yes, retina scans. Not only will this destroy tourism, it doesn't make sense. Millions of elderly as well as younger generations don't have social media and never have. But that barely matters in the wide scheme of things. This is one of the most insane, blatant Orwellian attacks on privacy and free movement in US history. It may be THE worst. This comes the same week as multiple states mandate digital IDs for online use. Also, the same month that the Trump Administration pushed forward cameras on every highway and freeway with license plate readers and facial recognition to determine if people are suspicious in their driving behaviors and schedules. Social media was ALWAYS meant to be social credit. We have been saying this for around 18 years. As we warned, the Chinese model will be adapted to the United States eventually. China was a guinea pig state for technocracy, used by Trilateral Commission in order to trial run the internet of things. Criticism of government or politicians will get you banned from entry into the United States with this new rule. With the new AI regulatory centralization by the federal government, this technocratic nightmare is worsening by the day with mass surveillance suddenly being overlooked by those who would usually be against it as they were under Obama and Biden. What happened? How is this "winning?" This is a new Tower of Babel being built and normalized around us. What we were called crazy for predicting and warning over decades ago is now accepted by the very people who called us crazy. From the UK to Australia, from Canada to Mexico, from Europe to the United States, the digital surveillance system is well underway and none of this is a coincidence.

Welcome to Day 2751 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – From Eden to New Jerusalem: The Pattern of Ascent, Fall, and Redemption Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2751 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2751 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled From Eden to New Jerusalem: The Pattern of Ascent, Fall, and Redemption. Throughout Scripture, a pattern emerges—one that contrasts the fall of those who grasp at divinity with the exaltation of those who receive it by grace through believing loyalty. From Eden to Hermon, Babel, and ultimately to the New Jerusalem, the Bible traces the path of human ambition, divine descent, and final restoration. The first segment is: Eden: Seizing Divinity, Ending in Death In the beginning, Adam and Eve were created in the image of God, placed in sacred space, and destined to reign with Him. Yet they were not content to reflect His glory. Tempted by the serpent, they reached for equality with God on their own terms: “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Genesis three verse 5 By attempting to grasp what had not been offered, they fell. Cast out of the garden, barred from the Tree of Life, and sentenced to die, their descent began not just physically but spiritually. They traded divine fellowship for exile and mortality. The second segment is: Hermon: Divine Rebellion and the Corruption of Mankind The next great rebellion came not from humans alone, but from the spiritual realm. According to 1 Enoch 6, the sons of God descended upon Mount Hermon and made a pact to defy God by taking human wives and producing the Nephilim. Their actions unleashed chaos and violence across the earth. This attempt to force a merger of heaven and earth on their own terms brought catastrophic consequences. God judged the Watchers, bound them in the Abyss, and destroyed their offspring in the Flood. Yet their spirits—demons—remained to corrupt mankind. The descent from Hermon marked not exaltation but divine exile, and it echoes the same pattern: those who attempt to seize divine authority fall into judgment. The third segment is: Babel: Ascending in Pride, Scattered in Judgment The next great act of rebellion came at Babel. Humanity, unified in language and purpose, sought to reach the heavens: “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves…” Genesis Eleven verse 4 Though the text says they were “one people,” this unity was likely driven by demonic influence—a renewed attempt to reopen the spiritual gateway severed at the Flood. Some modern theological reconstructions suggest the builders, influenced by demonic forces, may have sought to create a gateway that would allow the imprisoned Watchers to rise again and make war on Heaven itself. But the plan was doomed. God had already sentenced the Watchers to the Abyss, and no human or spiritual force could overturn that...

What happens when we build our lives around our own name? Babel shows how pride and fear push us toward control, comfort, and self-made security. But when human ambition drifts from God's purpose, He steps in—not to punish, but to realign us with His mission for the world. Genesis reminds us that we're called to be a people centered on Him, not on ourselves.⚫CONNECT WITH US:

Main Theme: True unity is powerful — whether for good or evil — but only unity built on obedience to God's Word can stand. Using Genesis 11 (Tower of Babel) and John 17 (Jesus' prayer for believers), Pastor Matthew taught that prideful unity seeks to glorify man, while holy unity glorifies God. The sermon called believers to become “one” with God, within themselves, and with one another, through humility and obedience. Man's Pride and the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1–9) Humanity once shared one language and one goal — to build a city and tower “whose top is in the heavens.” This unity was not righteous; it was rooted in pride and self-exaltation. “Let us make a name for ourselves.” — the cry of human arrogance. Pastor explained that Nimrod led this effort, motivated by defiance against God's authority and fear of another flood. Historian Josephus wrote that Nimrod's goal was to build a tower taller than any future flood could reach. Humanity still acts the same way today — building monuments, chasing power, and seeking fame — revealing that “man's heart hasn't changed.” Lesson: “You can build something big without God — but it won't last.” God's Response — Confusion and Division God “came down” to see what man had built — emphasizing His sovereignty: “They tried to build up, but He had to come down to see it.” The Lord noted their unity: “Nothing they propose to do will be withheld from them.” Unity, even for evil, is powerful. So God confused their language to protect mankind from greater rebellion. This was not destruction, but mercy through disruption — scattering people before sin could multiply unchecked. “The only thing that reached heaven from Babel was their sin.” Two Kinds of Unity Pastor contrasted two types of unity: Worldly unity – Prideful, self-glorifying, built on rebellion (Babel). Godly unity – Humble, self-denying, built on obedience (Christ). “It's powerful to be unified, even for the wrong reason — but it's holy when you're unified for the right one.” He warned that even evil movements gain momentum through unity, while the Church often loses ground because of division. The greatest form of unity begins with God Himself — aligning our will with His. “You'll never be unified with people until you're first unified with God.” Humility and the Example of Abraham Abraham's humility contrasted Babel's pride: He let Lot choose the better land, trusting God's promise instead of striving for position. “Abraham pitched his tent and built his altar — Lot pitched his tent and lost everything.” God told Abraham, “I will make your name great.” The key difference: Abraham waited on God to exalt him; Babel tried to exalt itself. Pastor connected this to Jesus' humility — who sought the Father's glory, not His own. “Jesus didn't look for fame; He looked for the Father's confirmation.” Jesus' Prayer for Unity (John 17:1–14) In John 17, Jesus prayed that His followers would be one as He and the Father are one. Unity is rooted in shared obedience and shared glory — not shared opinion. “If we don't care who gets the credit, we'll stay unified.” Jesus' request: “Glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You.” “Keep them through Your name that they may be one as We are one.” Pastor emphasized that Jesus prayed not for the world, but for those who belong to God — the Church that would reach the world through unity and truth. Lesson: “Unity doesn't mean sameness — it means shared purpose: glorifying God.” The Anatomy of Unity — Spirit, Soul, and Body Every believer must first be unified within themselves: Spirit (where the Holy Spirit dwells). Soul (mind, will, emotions). Body (the vessel of action). Without spiritual renewal, the soul leads — driven by emotion, intellect, and will. The Holy Spirit must rule the soul to align the believer with God's will. “You'll never be unified outwardly until you're unified inwardly.” Pastor described how old thought patterns (like “grooved paths” in the brain) must be renewed by the Word. “You've got to cut new paths in your mind — let the Holy Spirit groove His will into your thinking.” Godly Unity in Practice Starts in the home: Division between husbands and wives hinders prayer. Spreads to the Church: True revival requires believers who care more about obedience than credit. Extends to the nation: Real healing begins when unity is built around God's Word, not politics or culture. “Our rallying point is not religion, denomination, or last name — it's the Word of God.” Call to Action and Prayer Pastor closed with a call for repentance and restoration of unity: Individuals: Be reconciled to God through Christ. Marriages: Break division; walk as one. Churches: Give glory to God alone. Nations: Return to truth and righteousness. “The devil divides Christians, but unites evil causes. We must reverse that.” Core Message Unity is powerful — even when used wrongly. Godly unity begins with humility, obedience, and surrender. Pride builds towers; faith builds altars. To be one with others, first be one with God. The Church's greatest strength is not its size or sound — it's its unity in the Spirit and truth.

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 49! Vroooommmm!!! We're exploring the story of Asian Pacific Islanders in Formula 1… and this is something we actually know a bit about. This is a sport long dominated by Europeans and a handful of South Americans, but there has been a small group of drivers of Asian Pacific descent who have made an impact in recent years.  We'll share a little about F1 racing in general as well as when API began making their mark in the sport. In addition to recent drivers like Alex Albon (our favorite), Yuki Tsunoda, Zhou Guanyu, and now Arvid Lindblad, we'll also talk about a few engineers, leaders, and teams that have prominent Asian representation.  In our recurring segment, we'll share what we're listening to. For Ted, it's the audiobook of Babel by R.F. Kuang. It's narrated by Chris Lew Kum Hoi and Billie Fulford-Brown. For Gen, it's the music of Sarah Kinsley… specifically the song Fleeting.

With her amazing new book, DANTE: THE ESSENTIAL COMMEDIA (Liveright), scholar Prue Shaw brings us a canto-by-canto journey through Dante's masterwork, interweaving translated verses with her commentary, and serving as a Virgil-like guide to the poem. We talk about how she was inspired by John Carey's The Essential Paradise Lost, why the Paradiso was her biggest challenge, how the poem has changed for her over the course of her life, and why she went with prose translations of Dante rather than verse. We get into Dante's balance of pride in his art and his humility before God, the modern sound of Dante's verse and the challenge of translating Italian into English, what she's learning from helping translate Shelley into Italian, why she wants The Essential Commedia to serve as a gateway drug into Dante, and the nature of language & why the Tower of Babel plays a big role in the Commedia. We also discuss her incredible work on third edition of the Digital Commedia, life after the death of her husband, Clive James, and putting a collection of his final poems together, how an issue of the X-Men turned me on to Dante as a kid, my changing views on Ulysses in the Commedia, why sloth is my fave of the deadly sins, and more.

Voice Of GO(r)D is very happy to bring you a long and substantial conversation with fellow trucker and ‘Trucker-Tok' personality Wolfgang Wentland. Mr Wentland has been documenting the decrepitude of the trucking industry, and the ‘undiscussed in polite society' consequences and adversity American Truckers are forced to deal with downstream of the mass flooding of our roads with third world incompetents by the Biden Administration. To say that there is an unsafe (and unsanitary) culture clash happening on the interstates and in truck stops is to put it mildly. That this is happening at all is just another example of our distant and decrepit Ruling Class not giving a damn about the citizens for whom they are supposed to serve.The trucking industry in America is in a protracted freight recession which has been ongoing for three years, and the Biden Administration dumping at least 600,000, and more likely over a million, migrants, refugees, and illegals into out industry in a blatant wage suppression, has had far reaching consequences which Mr Wentland and I discuss at length. The show is nearly 2-1/2 hours long - pack a lunch.You can find Mr Wentland on TikTok here - https://www.tiktok.com/@wolfgangkw2On Twitter - https://x.com/wolfgangkw2And his new YouTube based podcast, The Back Row ShowPre-sales for my book on the fate of the North American trucker in 2025 are now open and you can confirm your copy for March delivery right here -https://creedandculture.com/books/end-of-the-road-inside-the-war-on-truckers/Questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and Strongly Encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

Welcome to Day 2741 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – Pentecost and the Reversal of Babel: Reclaiming the Nations for Yahweh Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2741 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2741 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled Pentecost and the Reversal of Babel: Reclaiming the Nations for Yahweh   The biblical narrative does not unfold randomly—it is a carefully structured drama of rebellion, judgment, and redemption. One of the clearest examples of this pattern occurs between two seemingly distant events: the judgment at the Tower of Babel in Genesis Eleven and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost in Acts two. While Babel marked the disinheritance and scattering of the nations due to collective rebellion, Pentecost served as a supernatural reversal of that judgment and the formal beginning of Yahweh's mission to reclaim the nations under the rule of His Son, Jesus the Messiah. This first segment is: Babel: Humanity's United Rebellion and Yahweh's Judgment. In Genesis Eleven, mankind, still united by one language and culture, gathered in defiance of God's command to spread out and fill the earth (Genesis Nine verse 1).   Instead, they sought to build a tower—a ziggurat—that would “reach to the heavens” and make a name for themselves. This act was more than urban planning or architectural ambition; it was a spiritual rebellion. In the Ancient Near East, ziggurats symbolized sacred space, portals between heaven and earth, where humans could manipulate the gods. The Tower of Babel, therefore, represented a counterfeit mountain of assembly—an attempt to storm heaven and force divine presence on human terms. God responded not by destroying them physically but by confusing their language. This act severed their ability to conspire as one. More significantly, according to Deuteronomy thirty-two verses eight and nine (Dead Sea Scrolls versions), God responded by disinheriting the nations: When the Most High assigned lands to the nations, when he divided up the human race, he established the boundaries of the peoples according to the number in his heavenly court. “For the people of Israel belong to the Lord; Jacob is his special possession. This passage reveals a profound truth: Yahweh handed over the rebellious nations to lesser divine beings—members of the heavenly host often referred to as the bene elohim. These beings were expected to rule justly, but Psalm 82 shows that they instead oppressed and corrupted the nations under their charge, leading Yahweh to declare their doom. From Babel onward, Yahweh would focus on a single nation—Israel—through whom He would eventually bless all the nations (Genesis twelve verse three). The second segment is: Pentecost: The Gathering Begins. Fast forward to Acts two. The Jewish feast of Shavuot (Pentecost) had brought devout Jews and proselytes from across the known world to Jerusalem. This was the perfect...
