What an interesting video and very helpful as my wife and I are God willing going on a footsteps of the Apostle John and Paul tour in late September /October . It includes Ephesus ,Patmos , Corinth and Athens and I can't wait. I have a coin in my collection from Ephesus, it can be seen on my website Testimoney I plan to take it back there and do an article featuring it. It was struck/minted in AD49-50 just before the Apostle Paul arrived in the city and it actually features the image of Diana /Artemis on it. Amazing when you think it was in the city then and was handled by thousands of people some who would have seen the Apostles John and Paul.
My wife and I tromped around Ephesus a few years ago, piecing together our meager understanding of classic and Church history. How we would have loved to have travelled with this duo with their rich texture of what was spread out before us. Even now we visit our memories enriched by this marvelous commentary.
As A Christian and history buff, your discussion of the happenings and the early church leaders helps fill in the Bible stories and Letters. Thanks for your wonderful work. This documentary is a blessing to me.
I’m headed to Turkey in July and am so excited to see Ephesus. This video is so interesting and informative. At least I will know what I’m seeing. Thank you.
4:26 "Be angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: (27) Neither give place to the devil. (28) Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth."
Very good insight into this Biblical setting and now we can easily see the Bible is alive and we can relate very well, thank you very much, Dr. Mark and Dr. Andrew.
I wish I had seen this video before my first visit four years ago and my second visit to Ephesus last month. It would have made my experience more meaningful!
4:56 The main reason was that if you accepted money from Rome to build/rebuild you were far more indebted to them therefore more obligations and subserviences. Nothing from Rome was free. Similar happens today from certain countries that shall remain nameless.
Isn't that something. To see all we read about. Where it all happened. Be with those who are YHWH Gods' first chosen people. What beauty. Magnificent. ❤Where all the Jewish and Gentiles were to join in worshiping the one true YHWH God. Where Yeshua walked and saved many. Taught and rebuked.
GOD and JESUS came into to the earthly realm a lot of times people didn't even know cause they wasnt living for him that's why they didn't see him cause they as a mist. They ask in the mist.
Ancient Greeks and romans practiced spolia where they reused components of old destroyed structures to build new ones because it required a lot less effort and money. After the temple was destroyed most of the remains were used in new structures in Ephesus. Whatever was left to modern day was taken by the British to be displayed in museums. So a restoration per se is not technically possible. That single column should be considered more as a landmark than a restoration effort in my opinion.
@@ibec69 It is NOT a restoration shame, the temple was discovered by J. T. Woods, a British guy in 1863 and some remaining valuable parts of it were taken to British Museum - as was the case for many other ancient sites in Turkiye and elsewhere in the Mediterranean basin. The only surviving (!) column still stands there as a poignant reminder of the glory days of Ephesus, after so many wars, earthquakes, looting and plunders through the ages. What we have left of the temple today is only the foundations and that single column which was mostly compiled from the scattered drums in situ. ALSO, the ancient city has been excavated by the Austrian archaeologists mainly for more than a century now in cooperation with their Turkish colleagues ..
We are in the end of times. Repent and be baptized. Turn to God. Matthew 3:2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of Heaven has come near.” Isaiah 45:22 Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I Am God, and there is no other. Acts 2:38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Pray and fast Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Joel 2:12 “Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” Jesus is the ONLY way to eternal life John 14:6-7 Jesus answered, “I Am The Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you really know Me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know Him and have seen Him.” John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:18 Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s One and Only Son. John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed Luke 18:20 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’” Follow the Two Greatest Commandments Matthew 22:36-40 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the First and Greatest Commandment. And the Second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two Commandments.” These will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. The absolute truth of God's Word Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Romans 10:17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is God-Breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. The present signs of last days Luke 21:20 When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God- having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. Beware of False prophets in the last days Matthew 24:4-5 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in My Name, claiming, ‘I Am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. Matthew 7:15-20 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. Wars and rumors of wars in the last days Matthew 24:6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Luke 21:10 -11 Then He said "Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines, and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from Heaven. The Gospel shared in the last days Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, then the end will come. People turning away from the faith in the last days 1 Timothy 4:1-2 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. God's anger through weather Psalms 18:7-12 The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because He was angry. Smoke rose from His nostrils; consuming fire came from His mouth, burning coals blazed out of it. He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under His feet. He mounted the cherubim and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind. He made darkness his covering, His canopy around him- the dark rain clouds of the sky. Out of the brightness of His presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning. Deny yourself to be a follower of Christ Mark 8:34-35 Then He called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow Me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for Me and for the gospel will save it. Confess Christ Matthew 10:32-33 “Whoever acknowledges Me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in Heaven. But whoever disowns Me before others, I will disown before My Father in heaven. God loves you this much Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Help others in need Romans 12:13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Keep the Sabbath Day Holy Exodus 20:11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but He rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Make disciples of ALL nations. Spread the gospel. Matthew 28:19-20 Read the Holy Bible and do what it says. Stay in prayer, fast, serve others and share the Word of God I'm sharing the Word of God. God is the ONLY ONE who can save us with everything going on. God bless you. Jesus loves you.

Currently studying the book of Ephesus in our Life Group. Now I can put images together with the words. Thank you so much Dr. Wilson and Dr. Jackson!
I’m headed to Turkey in July and am so excited to see Ephesus. This video is so interesting and informative. At least I will know what I’m seeing. Thank you.
A movie out called lost in love and it uses Ephusus as the background. You will be glad you watched it.
Thanks for introducing us to this beautiful country.

Thank you both for your work and making it available free of charge.😊

The Father has been Hera and He is coming back soon Family of GOD and JESUS
Very good, thank you for doing this
Loved this video, thank you for making it! The music is very pretty. Can you tell me what it is?
This video doesn't have enough views. ❤️
Very nice production!
Wish list: videos of the other 5 churches of Revelation.
Everybody talks about Paul’s letter to Ephesians but not about the Lord Jesus letters to the church of Ephesus
What is that song playing in the background? 🤔🙏❤️
If you not of GOD and JESUS you will not go with them.
GOD and JESUS came into to the earthly realm a lot of times people didn't even know cause they wasnt living for him that's why they didn't see him cause they as a mist. They ask in the mist.
The temple of Artemis. That column turkish restoration is a shame.
