Podcasts about Septuagint

If you know Habakkuk at all (a big if!), it's almost certainly because of the way the Apostle Paul uses it to make his own argument about righteousness and faith, using one single verse of this minor prophet. But what was Habakkuk talking about in his own time? Did the apostle cut the verse out of context and distort it for his own purposes? Whose faithfulness are we talking about, anyway? In this episode Dad and I tackle these questions—gaining a new appreciation for the whole of Habakkuk. And of the Septuagint! We're in our eighth season! How about demonstrating your faithfulness to our labors? Support us on Patreon! Notes: 1. Mauney, "Reading Paul from out of Habakkuk, both Hebrew and Greek" in Promissio 2.

This week we put on our nerd hats: what are the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, and why don't Protestant bibles include them? Turns out the answer involves the Septuagint, a guy named Jerome, Martin Luther, and the humbling realization that the 66-book Bible most of us grew up with is actually the minority position in global Christianity.It's a deep dive into biblical history — and a reminder that the real question was never which books made the cut, but what we do with the ones we've got.

GIANTS AND WATCHERS will execute God's judgment on the prophesied Day of the Lord. Isaiah 13 is, on the surface, a prophecy of judgment on Babylon. But there are clues in this chapter that there's more to this prophecy than meets the eye. First, the Hebrew verb translated “consecrated” (as in “consecrated ones,” Isaiah 13:3) is based on the same root behind the words “holy one/s” in Daniel 4:13 and 17, used in parallel with “Watcher/s” in those verses. Given that the Septuagint translates Hebrew gibborim (“mighty men”) as “giants,” it's possible that the “consecrated ones” of Isaiah 13:3 are Watchers—a powerful class of angel often tasked with carrying out God's will (as in Daniel 4). As a whole, Isaiah 13 is an “already but not yet” prophecy of the destruction of Babylon. The “already” took place roughly 150 years after Isaiah wrote this prophecy when Cyrus the great captured the city the night of Belshazzar's drunken feast. The future fulfillment comes on the Day of the Lord, which we believe takes place at the end of the seven year Great Tribulation. In addition, there are hints of the supernatural fulfillment of the “not yet” part of the prophecy. Isaiah 13:20–22 foretells a day when Babylon is utterly destroyed, becoming a haunt of supernatural creatures. That's not apparent in most English translations, but digging into the Hebrew and Greek reveals more of Isaiah's original vision: Babylon inhabited forever by demons, sirens, satyrs, and dragons.

Ancient Roots of Life Episode 48Many of the passages Christians know by heart sound very different when read from the Septuagint (LXX). In this episode JT and Josh continue their study through Scripture by examining: David's harsh prayers against his enemies Did David prophetically speak in the voice of Christ? Loving your enemies vs. God's judgment The Gospel of Nicodemus (Acts of Pilate) Genesis in the Septuagint The Firmament Paradise in Eden Noah and the clean animals Nimrod and the first kingdoms The Tower of Babel The Table of Nations The mystery of Genesis 6 Sons of God vs. Sethite theory Ancient geography Biblical chronology If you've never compared the Septuagint to modern Bible translations, you may be surprised by what you find.

On today's episode, we discuss how Christians can confidently study the Bible using inductive and deductive methods while navigating different translations and manuscripts. The hosts open with lighthearted banter about solar panels and confessions before turning to a theological thought experiment inspired by the film The Book of Eli and whether a single surviving King James Bible would be sufficient to preserve Scripture. From there, they explore the reliability of modern Bible translations, emphasizing that textual differences among versions do not undermine core doctrines or matters of faith. Jimmy and Jim walk listeners through New Testament and Old Testament textual criticism, highlighting the abundance of Greek manuscripts, the role of the Masoretic text, and the significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Septuagint in affirming the stability of the biblical text over time. Throughout the conversation, they encourage believers to approach Bible study with confidence, recognizing that while no translation is perfect, the message of Scripture has been faithfully preserved.

Questions about inspiration when the New Testament writers quote the Septuagint rather than the original text, whether we could add books to the Bible if new letters from the apostles were found, and how to handle passages like John 7:53–8:11 that were added to the original biblical text.   Can you explain verbal plenary inspiration with regard to the New Testament writers quoting the Septuagint in places where it's different from the original Hebrew text? Would it be inappropriate to add books to the Bible if new letters from the apostles were found? How should we handle passages like John 7:53–8:11 and Mark 16:9–20 that seem to have been added to the original biblical text?

How should Christians think about social justice? Why do Catholics pray to saints? What authority do the Pope and church tradition have? Why do Catholic and Protestant Bibles contain different books? In this episode of Relish, Rowan Miller is joined by Pastor Don Patterson and theology student Grant Bender for a thoughtful discussion of several questions that regularly create confusion among Christians. The conversation explores: Does the Bible teach social justice? Christianity's historical influence on society Saints, intercession, and prayer The Pope, church tradition, and biblical authority The Apocrypha and why different Christian traditions recognize different canons How Christians should evaluate doctrine through Scripture Whether you've wondered about Catholic beliefs or simply want a clearer understanding of biblical authority, this episode provides historical context and careful biblical discussion. 00:00:36 — Does the Bible Teach Social Justice?

I'm digging into something that's genuinely changed how I spend my free time: using AI to build the tool I've wished existed for decades, one that helps me read the world's great literature in its original language. I tell the story of a chance dinner with a Hertz Fellow who turned out to be a major figure at Anthropic, and how that connection eventually led me back to a project I'd tried and abandoned before, a computer-assisted reader for Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts. Six months ago, the AI models I tried couldn't get past writing a single working line of code. This time was different, and I walk through exactly what changed, what these models are actually good at, and where they still fall apart.I also get into the weeds a bit, sharing my process for getting better results out of these tools, why my public writing on Quora turns out to matter, and a wild multi-round debugging session with Gemini that kept insisting it had "finally" found all the bugs. I close with a personal aside into a physics insight I've been chasing since the 1970s, and how an AI helped me push it further, even if I lost most of the conversation to a very avoidable software glitch. Along the way I make my case for why AI right now is best thought of as a tireless, brilliant, but occasionally hallucinating army of interns, not a replacement for human judgment.In this episode you will learn:(00:00) How a chance dinner with a Hertz Fellow connected to Anthropic changed my skepticism about the current state of AI(03:37) Why I've always wished a computer could do the tedious lexical lookup work of reading Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts(06:35) What large language models actually are under the hood, and why they can "spout like an idiot" and "pontificate like a sage" with equal ease(08:57) The multi-round debugging saga where Gemini kept insisting it had found the last bug, and the last bug, and the last bug(11:48) What gets lost in translation, using the hidden joke behind Don Quixote's horse Rocinante as an example(14:43) Inside the Andrew Winkler Reading Room, from the Septuagint to Shakespeare, and why computers and humans make a great reading team(17:10) My feature requests for Google and Apple after losing valuable AI conversations to a silent clipboard failure(19:36) Why I think of AI right now as an army of knowledgeable but wisdom-less interns, and what that means for companies rushing to replace workers with it(22:01) The physics insight I've been sitting on since the 1970s, and how AI helped me extend it into the standard model(24:28) What was lost when my breakthrough AI conversation on unit-free physics vanished, and why I'm sharing the story anywayLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandyRead, with computer assistance, the best literature the world has ever producedandrew-winkler-reading-room.overskill.appLove Quotient: Stop Dying of Thirst in an Ocean of Love Kickstarterhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/amwphd/love-quotient Hosted on Acast.

In this Bible study, we unpack the opening section of Hebrews chapter 10, focusing on the profound truth of Tetelestai—that Jesus Christ has paid our sin debt in full. By examining Hebrews 10.01-18, we contrast the repetitive, temporary nature of the old Levitical covenant with the ultimate, one-time sacrifice of Christ. We dive deep into the prophetic layers of Psalm 40.06-08, exploring why the writer of Hebrews quotes from the Septuagint to highlight that a body was prepared for the Messiah, signaling a ready heart to do the will of God. We also confront human nature's constant urge to try and earn salvation through legalism, reminding ourselves that because Christ sat down at the right hand of God, the work of our redemption is completely finished.Building on this foundational truth, we look closely at how the old covenant sacrifices served only as a yearly reminder of sin rather than a permanent cure. Since the dawn of the Fall in Genesis, humanity has attempted to cover its own shame with inadequate "fig leaves" of self-righteousness, yet God demonstrates that only a blood sacrifice He provides can truly clothe us. As we close this first part of our study of Hebrews 10, we are challenged to stop striving to earn God's love and instead humble ourselves under His mighty hand.TEACHING NOTES:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y3E7Oq-DUgmChhLJx34tEbLqrGrZVtzY6BZPhonPZtQ/edit?usp=sharingABOUT IRON SHEEP MINISTRIESIron Sheep Ministries is dedicated to helping you dig deeper into God's Word.

In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart begin their study of Proverbs 26 by examining three foundational truths about folly. Solomon warns that honoring a fool is as destructive as snow in summer or rain during harvest, teaches that a groundless curse has no power over the righteous, and explains why fools often respond only to consequences rather than reason. Drawing from both the King James Version and the Septuagint, this lesson encourages believers to value wisdom rightly, reject the fear of baseless accusations, and trust that God protects those who walk in righteousness.

After several chapters of prophecies of destruction at the hands of the Assyrians, Micah concludes his book with a promise of restoration for the people of Israel. Although there are some differences between the Masoretic text on which the old Testament of our English Bibles is based and the Septuagint, which was translated from Hebrew into Greek by about 200 BC, the overall message is the same: God will chastise His people for their behavior, but He will bless the remnant who repent and return to Him.

In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine Proverbs 25:23–24, where Solomon addresses two of the greatest threats to peace: the destructive power of gossip and the misery of continual strife. The study explores how righteous disapproval can silence a backbiting tongue, why believers must refuse to participate in slander, and what Scripture teaches about living in an atmosphere of constant contention. Drawing from both the King James Version and the Septuagint, Rick and Doc show that genuine peace requires both the courage to confront sin and the wisdom to recognize when conflict has become spiritually destructive.

Today I'm talking about something that's been on my mind as I've been writing Love Quotient: the two feedback loops that quietly corrode almost every relationship we have. I explain how our dominant cognitive function becomes our personal "channel" for expressing and receiving love, and why a mismatch with the people we care about can spiral into the exact same withdrawal on both sides, until the relationship falls apart.From there I dive into Pride and Prejudice, using what I know about personality and temperament to offer a fresh, more sympathetic read on Mr. Bennett and the entailment that hangs over the Bennet family. I also share a personal story about my border collies that mirrors his situation surprisingly well. Then I take a hard turn into artificial intelligence, walking through how I used "vibe coding" to build a free tool that helps you read the world's great literature, in the original Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and Aramaic, with computer-assisted definitions built right in.In this episode you will learn:(00:00) Why our relationships are being steadily corroded by two feedback loops we rarely notice(02:27) How our dominant cognitive function becomes our personal channel for expressing and receiving love(05:15) What entailment meant for the Bennet family and why it set the entire plot of Pride and Prejudice in motion(08:22) Why Mrs. Bennett was so openly focused on marrying off her daughters to rich men(11:57) How "goodness of fit" and temperament theory give us a more sympathetic read on Mr. Bennett's parenting(15:32) What my border collies taught me about Mr. Bennett's distance from his younger daughters(18:45) Why artificial intelligence is simultaneously overhyped and underhyped right now(18:45) How human and machine intelligence complement each other when it comes to parsing language(22:01) How I used "vibe coding" to build a reading tool from scratch in a single day(24:45) What's inside the Andrew Winkler Reading Room, from the Septuagint to Shakespeare to UlyssesLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandyRead, with computer assistance, the best literature the world has ever producedandrew-winkler-reading-room.overskill.appLove Quotient: Stop Dying of Thirst in an Ocean of Love Kickstarterhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/amwphd/love-quotient Hosted on Acast.

In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart explore Proverbs 25:11–12, two of the most beautiful verses in the Book of Proverbs, where Solomon reveals both the power of a well-timed word and the value of a teachable heart. A "word fitly spoken" is compared to apples of gold set in silver—a picture of truth delivered with wisdom, grace, and perfect timing. The passage then turns to the one who receives wise correction, showing that an obedient ear is adorned like precious gold. Together, Rick and Doc examine why timing is as important as truth, how wise correction becomes a blessing rather than a burden, and why both the faithful speaker and the humble listener reflect the wisdom of God. Drawing from the King James Version, the Septuagint, the teachings of Christ, and the insights of generations of biblical commentators, this lesson challenges believers to speak words that heal, encourage, and instruct—and to cultivate hearts willing to receive God's truth whenever it comes.

In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine Proverbs 25:8–10, where Solomon provides one of Scripture's clearest and most practical teachings on conflict resolution. Rather than rushing into public disputes, wisdom calls believers to slow down, think through the consequences, address grievances privately, and guard the confidences entrusted to them. Through the wisdom of Proverbs, the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 5 and Matthew 18, and the counsel of James 1:19, Rick and Doc demonstrate that many broken relationships and damaged reputations are the result not of the original disagreement, but of the way the conflict was handled. The lesson also explores the Septuagint's sobering warning that unresolved and carelessly escalated quarrels can become irreconcilable, bringing lasting regret and relational destruction. God's way is neither avoidance nor reckless confrontation, but humble, truthful, and private reconciliation whenever possible.

In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine Proverbs 25:6–7, where Solomon reveals a timeless principle that reaches far beyond royal courts into the very heart of God's Kingdom. Rather than seeking prominence or promoting ourselves before those in authority, Scripture teaches that genuine honor is never seized—it is bestowed. Through the wisdom of Solomon, the teaching of Jesus in Luke 14, and the supreme example of Christ's humility in Philippians 2, Rick and Doc demonstrate that the way up in God's economy is first the way down. The lesson explores the danger of self-promotion, the blessing of taking the lower place, the Septuagint's emphasis on humility in both position and speech, and why those who wait for God to say, "Come up hither," receive an honor that no amount of ambition can secure. True greatness belongs not to those who exalt themselves, but to those whom God chooses to exalt.

Did ancient rabbis alter key biblical passages to weaken Christian claims about Jesus? In this fascinating discussion, Mondo sits down with Doug Van Dorn to explore his new book The Bible Is Truth, examining the "Two Powers in Heaven" tradition, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Septuagint, Melchizedek, Psalm 110, Deuteronomy 32, and evidence that some ancient Jewish interpretations once pointed directly to Jesus Christ.

In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine Proverbs 25:4–5, where Solomon uses the imagery of silver refining to reveal a timeless principle of personal, spiritual, and governmental integrity. Just as a silversmith must remove the dross before a vessel can be fashioned for honorable use, so corruption must be removed from positions of influence before righteousness can flourish. The lesson explores the deceptive nature of dross, which resembles silver while corrupting it from within, and the parallel danger of ungodly counsel surrounding those entrusted with authority. Drawing from both the King James Version and the Septuagint, Rick and Doc show that purity is never accidental—it requires deliberate refinement, difficult decisions, and the courage to remove what corrupts. Whether applied to leadership, the church, the family, or the individual believer, the message is clear: a vessel fit for the Refiner and a throne established in righteousness are both produced by the same process—the removal of what does not belong.

In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart continue their examination of Proverbs 24:30–31, where Solomon's observation of a neglected field becomes a profound lesson on the cumulative effects of spiritual, moral, and practical neglect. The overgrown thorns, encroaching nettles, and broken stone wall reveal that decay rarely arrives suddenly—it advances one small act of avoidance at a time. Together, Rick and Doc explore the three stages of neglect, the covenant significance of broken boundaries, and the connection between the outward condition of the field and the inward condition of the soul. Drawing from both the KJV and the Septuagint, the lesson challenges believers to recognize the early signs of decline before small compromises become structural failures. The neglected field serves as a powerful reminder that every area of life requiring cultivation—faith, family, doctrine, relationships, and stewardship—must be actively maintained or it will inevitably be overtaken by what grows without effort.

What if many of us have been taught to read the Bible in a way it was never meant to be read? In this special live event recorded by Upper House, BibleProject co-founder Tim Mackie returns to Madison — the city where he earned his PhD in Hebrew Bible and Jewish Studies at UW–Madison and pastored at Blackhawk Church — to share the story behind one of the most widely used Bible-teaching resources in the world.Tim traces the origins of BibleProject to a coffee-shop conversation with his old college friend Jon Collins, a successful maker of animated explainer videos who had quietly become a “post-Bible Christian.” Their shared question — how do you engage Scripture well? — became the heartbeat of the project. Tim contrasts the “reference book” Bible many of us inherited (turn to the right verse, find the answer) with a richer vision of Scripture as ancient Jewish literary art designed to form wise, mature human beings over a lifetime.Along the way, he unpacks seven core convictions that have guided BibleProject from the beginning — three about where the Bible comes from, and four about what it is for — closing with the practice of meditation (the Hebrew hagah) and an invitation to try again with Scripture, whatever your history with it.Whether you've loved the Bible, struggled with it, or aren't sure what to make of it, this conversation offers a fresh invitation to see Scripture as a unified, beautiful, and transformative story that leads to Jesus.The Seven Convictions (At a Glance)Where the Bible is from:Collaborative literature — human authors and God's Spirit meeting, not passive dictation.Unified literature — one interconnected story leading to Jesus.Ancient literature — written for us, but not to us; context matters.What the Bible is for:Messianic literature — every theme sets up and finds fulfillment in Jesus.Communal literature — designed to be read aloud together over a lifetime.Wisdom literature — forming us to discern good from bad, not just memorize answers.Meditation literature — hagah: slow, repeated reading that rewards a lifetime of return.About the GuestTim Mackie is co-founder and lead scholar of BibleProject. He holds a PhD in Hebrew Bible and Jewish Studies from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and a degree in theology from Western Seminary in Portland. His research focused on the manuscript history of the Bible and the formation of the biblical canon — including his dissertation on the book of Ezekiel, with particular attention to the Septuagint and Dead Sea Scrolls. After years of ministry as a local-church pastor (including at Madison's Blackhawk Church and later Door of Hope in Portland) and as a professor at Western Seminary, Tim now serves as lead scholar and creative director at BibleProject. He lives in Portland with his wife, Jessica, and their two sons.https://bibleproject.com/ Send us Fan MailCONNECT WITH USSubscribe to The UpWords Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts and visit slbf.org/studio to learn more about our work at the intersection of faith, the academy, and the marketplace.This episode was created by the SLBF STUDIO at Upper House.Produced by Daniel Johnson and Dave ConourEdited by Dave Conour

In this podcast I focus on a few additional interpretive issues of specific words in John 1:14 that mainstream Christians interpret as evidence that God became man.The verb σκηνόω (dwell, tabernacle) is not used of God elsewhere in the Septuagint, while its New Testament occurrences do not naturally support the idea of God incarnating himself in a human body. The traditional translation "dwelt among us" is possible, but it is not the only way to interpret and translate John 1:14. The Greek preposition ἐν ordinarily means "in," and John's Gospel repeatedly uses “in” to describe relationship rather than spatial proximity. John's own usage of "in us," "in me," and "in you" consistently points toward personal relationship, not spatial proximity. John 1:14 can be understood as the Word dwelt “in us”, describing the human person Jesus, the Word, becoming life giving provision and sustenance for others. Such an interpretation fits naturally within John's broader theology of indwelling as a relationship with the Messiah that brings about life.The evidence from John's Gospel, the Septuagint, and the wider New Testament suggests that "the Word dwelt in us" deserves serious consideration as an alternative to the traditional rendering "the Word dwelt among us."An essential doctrinal teaching, something like the incarnation of God into man, should not hang on the interpretation of a single preposition in one verse. Big doctrinal claims require big, consistent, repeated, clear textual evidence. John simply does not say that God, or one person who is God, became man.

What if the version of the Old Testament most commonly quoted by the New Testament writers is one that most Christians have never read? In this study, we explore the Septuagint (LXX)—the ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures that was widely used throughout the world of Jesus, the Apostles, and the early Church.You'll discover how the Septuagint came to be, why it became so influential, and several places where Jesus appears to quote directly from it. We'll also discuss common objections, the relationship between the Septuagint and the Hebrew Bible, the Apocrypha, and practical ways you can begin reading the LXX for yourself.Whether you're interested in biblical history, textual studies, Bible translations, or the world of the New Testament, this video will help you better understand the Scriptures that shaped the language and thought of the Apostolic era.

The Dead Sea Scrolls contain a version of Deuteronomy 32:8 that most modern Bibles don't show you — and what the original text says rewires how you read the entire Old Testament. When God divided the nations of the earth, He didn't do it according to the sons of Israel. He did it according to the sons of God. Fallen angels. Assigned to every nation on earth. That one manuscript difference changes everything. Lance Wallnau goes deep into the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Septuagint, and the ancient Hebrew texts to uncover the hidden architecture of world history — a heavenly council of angelic overseers, a divine courtroom where God calls them to account, and a Tower of Babel that wasn't a building at all, but a portal technology designed to merge humanity with those same spiritual intelligences. And the connection to what's being built right now — AI, neural links, transhumanism — is harder to ignore than you'd think. In this episode: * The Dead Sea Scrolls vs. your Bible — what was changed and why * The Tower of Babel was a ziggurat: a spiritual portal, not a skyscraper * Psalm 82 decoded: God judges the angels He assigned to run the nations * The EU Parliament building and its disturbing Tower of Babel design * AI, neural links, and the Antichrist's "one mind" over 10 rulers * Michael Heiser's scholarship on the divine council and the Unseen Realm * Your end-time assignment: taking back territory from rebellious angels This is Genesis and Revelation read together — and the picture that emerges is not what most churches are teaching.

In this episode of The UpWords Podcast, host Jean Geran sits down with biblical scholar Seth Whitaker to explore a question at the heart of Christianity's origins: how do Jews and Christians read Scripture differently—and what holds their interpretive traditions together?Drawing on his doctoral research at the University of St Andrews on the use of the Psalms in the book of Hebrews, Seth argues that the earliest followers of Jesus were Jews wrestling with their own religious heritage in light of the Messiah. Rather than a clean break, he traces a story of deep continuity — one in which the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the same God who raised Jesus from the dead.Jean and Seth examine why the Old Testament can feel “more vengeful” than the New, and why that contrast is more caricature than reality. Seth offers a striking image: Scripture is not a flat plain where every verse carries equal weight, but a landscape of mountains and valleys, with high peaks of revelation — like God revealing himself as “abounding in steadfast love” at Sinai — that give us a vantage point on the harder passages.The conversation also draws on a previous UpWords episode with AJ Levine to consider what Christians might learn from Jewish interpretive practices: the “70 faces” of Scripture, a comfort with multiple readings, and the practice of reading sacred texts in community as a guard against going off the rails. Seth closes by tracing how rabbinic Judaism and early Christianity gradually defined themselves over and against one another — shaped by events like the expulsion of Jews from Rome, the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE, and the Bar Kokhba revolt — and why he encourages readers to approach the Hebrew Bible less like a prophecy-fulfillment checklist and more like an ongoing dialogue.Whether you've wondered how Christianity emerged from Judaism, struggled with the difficult passages of the Old Testament, or simply want a richer way to read sacred texts, this conversation offers thoughtful insight and plenty to ponder.YOU WILL LEARNWhy every New Testament author was a Jew making sense of an inherited tradition — and why that changes how we read Christian originsEschatology as a central interpretive lens: how “the last things” reshaped the way early believers read their ScripturesThe same God, not two: pushing back on the ancient Marcionite split between the God of the Old and New TestamentsSinai as a “mountain peak” — God's mercy to the thousandth generation versus judgment to the third and fourthScripture as mountains and valleys, not a flat plain of equal-weight proof textsLove and judgment appear in both Testaments — including in the Psalms and in the teaching of JesusThe “70 faces” of Scripture and what Christians can learn from Jewish interpretation in communityHow the early church's patience, love, and care across class lines set it apart in Rome Three historical turning points that drove Judaism and Christianity apart: the expulsion of Jews from Rome (49 CE), the destruction of the Temple (70 CE), and the Bar Kokhba revolt (135 CE)The Septuagint, Isaiah 7:14, and how competing authoritative texts shaped competing interpretationsReading the Hebrew Bible as a dance and dialogue rather than a prophecy-fulfillment checklistABOUT THE GUESTSeth Whitaker is a New Testament scholar who completed his PhD at the University of St Andrews, where he worked with David Moffitt on the Epistle to the Hebrews.

On today's edition of Morning Manna, Doc Burkhart examines Proverbs 24:21–22 through the lens of the Septuagint (LXX), uncovering a remarkable expansion absent from the traditional Hebrew text. This ancient Greek rendering not only calls believers to fear God and honor rightful authority but also issues a sobering warning against rebellion, deceit, and association with destructive men. Through careful exposition of the Septuagint's fuller reading, this study explores the relationship between divine sovereignty, civil order, and the sudden judgment that falls upon those who reject both.

A @Christadelphians Video: [Inspiring] **Ai Summary** – Thought-provoking, insightful, and wonderfully expositional, this outstanding episode of *The Bible Standard* reveals why humility is essential when wrestling with Scripture's most puzzling passages. We, as Christadelphians, explore the strange case of King Saul's age—does the Hebrew really say he was one year old?—and the textual twists behind Lamentations 3: “we are not consumed.” We also dive into the cutting‑edge debate over Greek verbs: do they really tell us *when* something happened, or just *how* the author saw it? This is a wonderfully revealing journey into the “things we still don't know,” reminding us that following God is a process of continual learning, not stagnant certainty.**

Gary answers a listener question about a Greek word used in Matthew 25:5, Hebrews 10:37, and in the Septuagint in Habakkuk 2:3. The NT often uses OT language to show that similar events are soon to pass in the first century. Israel's history often feels like a series of cyclical events and Paul even mentions that these events happened as "examples" to his generation, "on whom the end of the ages has come" (1 Corinthians 10:11).

Government pilots are reporting objects that accelerate without propulsion, vanish into the ocean, and move between dimensions like they don't belong to our physics. What's strange is that an ancient Hebrew manuscript described the exact same behavior, and named the beings responsible, listed their leader, and recorded the location where they entered our world. What if the UFO phenomenon was never a mystery — just a memory we forgot how to read? In this episode, Lance Wallnau connects the dots between today's UAP disclosure and Genesis 6 — drawing on the scholarship of the late Michael Heiser, the Book of Enoch, and the Septuagint to reveal what the first-century church already understood about interdimensional beings, the Watchers, and the Nephilim. And the detail that will stop you cold: Jesus didn't randomly choose a mountain for the Transfiguration. He went to the exact peak where 200 angels swore their oath — and reversed what they did there. In this episode:

Did the biblical authors believe in a divine council of heavenly beings surrounding God? In this episode, Dru Johnson sits down with Hebrew Bible scholar Jamie Duguid to unpack one of the most controversial debates in modern biblical scholarship: the meaning of “sons of God” in Deuteronomy 32 and the growing influence of Michael Heiser's Divine Council worldview. The conversation explores the Hebrew phrase bene elohim, the Divine Council interpretation of Deuteronomy 32:8, and whether the Bible presents Yahweh as ruling among other divine beings. Duguid and Johnson examine the textual evidence behind the debate, including the Masoretic Text, the Septuagint, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Samaritan Pentateuch, Syriac translations, and Isaiah 40–55. They also discuss Genesis 6, Psalm 82, angels, demons, ancient Near Eastern religion, monotheism vs. henotheism, and why the Divine Council framework has become so influential through scholars like Heiser. If you've wondered whether the Bible teaches the existence of other gods, spiritual powers, or a heavenly council, this episode offers a careful, scholarly, and deeply accessible exploration of one of the Bible's most fascinating theological questions.   Read more of Dr. Duguid's work here: https://www.quaerendum.com/   We are listener supported.

Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna says what she saw in classified UFO briefings looks "stunningly similar" to events in the Bible — and she's pointing pastors to the Book of Enoch. Then nine Pentecostal broadcasters were quietly gathered in a Tennessee Airbnb. Now Glenn Beck is asking what happens to the church if a lizard pilot is pulled out of Los Alamos. Why are they prepping pastors — not Catholics, not Muslims, not Hindus — right before disclosure? Lance Wallnau pulls back the curtain on the UFO disclosure story the mainstream won't touch — bringing in Chuck Missler, Jude 6, Genesis 6, and the watchers of Enoch to expose what these "interdimensional beings" really are. What if disclosure isn't about aliens at all — but about something the Bible warned us about 4,000 years ago? In this episode: - Why Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna keeps urging the public to read the Book of Enoch - The classified briefings she says mirror "events in biblical times" - The Tennessee NRB meeting where Pentecostal pastors were briefed by men with government exposure — and what was actually said behind closed doors - Glenn Beck on the "lizard people in Los Alamos" theory and the disclosure the church may not be ready for - The Mirage Men documentary claim that the human race was "manufactured" by extraterrestrials — and the spiritual deception hiding inside it - Chuck Missler's teaching on the sons of God, the Nephilim, and the Septuagint translation that changes everything - 1 Peter 3:18, Jude 1:6, and the imprisoned spirits Jesus proclaimed judgment over - The fourth-dimension "finger through a box" theory of UAPs — and why these craft may not be ships at all - How the Jezebel spirit, false prophets, and end-time witchcraft tie into the coming great seduction With disclosure beginning, the question isn't whether it's real — it's whether the church will recognize it for what it is.

Lilith keeps showing up: in video games, TV shows, ancient mythology, and feminist websites. But she also shows up in the Bible. And most Christians have no idea.Michael Miller sits down with Nelly Van Sickle, pastor of Evergreen Calvary Chapel and host of The Dancing Toaster podcast, to trace the biblical and historical case for Lilith as a genuine supernatural entity. Starting with Isaiah 34:14 and working outward through the Septuagint, the Vulgate, and the Dead Sea Scrolls, this isn't mythology dressed up as scripture. It's scripture first, history second.Nelly also shares what happened when he started researching her. The demonic oppression that began almost immediately. And what finally made it stop.Along the way they cover the "Adam's first wife" theory and why Genesis 2 shuts it down, the connection between Psalm 91:5-6 and "the terror of the night," a Dead Sea Scroll exorcism hymn that names a lilit-type entity by class, and the question of what happened to the women who cohabitated with the sons of God in Genesis 6.If you've been curious about Lilith and wanted an answer that actually starts with the biblical text, this episode is for you.Scripture References: Isaiah 34:14 | Psalm 91:5-6 | Genesis 4:22 | Genesis 6:1-4 | Leviticus 17:7 | 2 Chronicles 11:15 | Deuteronomy 12 0:00 – Introduction5:52 – Supernatural Encounters16:24 – Lilith in Isaiah 3427:15 – Ancient Near East Context39:19 – Adam's First Wife Debunked45:51 – Dead Sea Scrolls Evidence56:07 – Female Demonic Entities1:03:56 – Final ThoughtsINTRO TO DELIVERANCE MINISTRY: https://www.theremnantradio.com/intro-to-deliverance-ministry___________________________________________INTRODUCTION TO DELIVERANCE MINISTRY eCoursePRESALE: $100 OFF through May 1 LEARN MORE: https://www.theremnantradio.com/intro-to-deliverance-ministry Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

“Are there doctrinal differences on the Septuagint?” This question leads to a discussion on the major distinctions between Protestant and Catholic views, particularly regarding the seven additional books. The conversation also touches on the moral implications of generative AI, the Church’s response to potential ex-cathedra proclamations, and the interpretation of visions experienced during psychedelic ceremonies.

Where is the line on when it’s sinful? 36:50 – My protestant friend asked me this: what would happen if the pope tried to proclaim ex-cathedra something contrary to Church teaching? Does the Church have a contingency plan? 47:24 – What do we make of people who have visions on psychedelics who use them as a spiritual ceremony?
