Did a rooster actually crow after Peter denied Jesus?
Did God really curse a whole nation of people because Noah’s son saw him without his clothing?
What does Jesus mean when he talks about “good eyes’ and “evil eyes”?
Every language has words or phrases called idioms. These are words or phrases that mean something beyond the literal definitions of the words themselves. Things like "under the weather" or “hit the sack.”
We see a variety Hebrew idioms throughout the Old Testament. And many of those were translated literally into greek by the authors of the New Testament
But here’s the problem: rather than translating the meanings of these idioms, most of our Bibles only give us the literal translations. And because of this, they cause us to miss what the Bible is really saying.
So, today, we’re going to change that.
Today, I’m going to share with you SEVEN Hebrew idioms that will change the way you read the Bible in this episode of “Misreading Scripture”

Misreading Scripture is a series that takes common scriptures and helps you to see them with a new set of eyes. Many of these are scriptures we have been innocently misinterpreting. And once we gain insight into the culture and context of the passage, all of a sudden it becomes clear in an entirely new way.

One day, I was sitting and the Most High led me to look up the word “name”. This led me to the truth of the Hebrew word shaym. I then realized that when the Messiah says, “if you ask anything in My Name, it will be given to you”, He was actually saying that whatever we ask in His authority, it will be given. This truth changed everything for me. The Most High says that he leads us in the paths of righteousness for His name sake, He’s actually saying, for His authority’s sake. It’s a beautiful thing! We have authority as sons and daughters and ambassadors of the Most High Yah! It’s also a beautiful thing when He leads you to His actual name. God and Lord are titles, they aren’t names, just food for thought.
Absolutely, so many see it or have assumed it’s some kind of “magic” word or ending to prayer.
When actually it’s (as you say) about trusting in the authority the name denotes and more….the character/characteristics behind it.
@@whitestone4805
Exactly, in His name means according to His character. Who He is. Yet, though His name is great, He esteems His word over His name. Amazing.
That makes no sense. You just said that x actually means x, the same meaning, slightly rephrased.
@@tychocollapse what do you mean? The word was falsely translated to say name, but in Hebrew, it says Shaym, which means authority. They’re not the same.
@@richardwooley1711 it's the same meaning which is why it's common also in English to associate "in the name of" as "authority of". Either translation means the same concept and Hebrews weren't the 1st to colloquially associate in that manner. Also "name" may have came from Greek nome, a state or law of that state, as in the authority thereof.
I once had a pastor explain “in the name of Jesus” like in ancient times when the king would send an envoy out with his mark and that person was acting in the name of the king. He was on a mission from the king and spoke with his authority but that only applied to the specific tasks the king sent him on
Thank you.
In the Name of Justus
[Psalm 110:4 The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek . (Hebrew: ‘melech’ king + ‘tzedek’ righteous/just = the Just King)
"For where two or three are gathered in my name, [In the name of Justus], there I am in the midst of them."
- When it is said "In Jesus’ name..." the name being specified is Jesus family name which happens to be the name of the Royal line of King David the RIGHTEOUS (Tzadik in Hebrew). The Latin word for righteous is, you understand, 'Justus' [Justice]. Jesus last name or 'surname', same as his father's and father's before that... all the way back to King David, was Justice. That is the origination of the phrase "In the Name of Justice" that has been lost to history... no thanks to that Catholic Church of yours.
Matthew 1:19 Then Joseph her husband, being a JUST man,
Matthew 27:19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that JUST man:
Matthew 27:24 When Pilate... saying, I am innocent of the blood of this JUST person:
Luke 23:50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor; and he was a good man, and a JUST:
Acts 1:23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed JUSTUS (Jesus' father), and Matthias.
Acts 3:14 But ye denied the Holy One and the JUST, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
Acts 7:52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One
Jeremiah 23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
Jeremiah 33:15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
I think of it as being like a proxy vote .. I cast it, but I have to vote the way the people I'm representing want or it would be very wrong. It is a bit scary to be given that responsibility for God!
That’s a great explanation
Leviticus 20:11 (KJV)
“And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”
About the rooster: The time given in scripture is about equivalent to 3am which is less than 2 hr before sun rise in Jerusalem for that time of year. This is a time that a rooster crow is not at all unusual. Also, roosters crow anytime they feel like it, even in the middle of the night. It's just less usual at, say midnight for example, but it does happen. So while you may have a point with this, it is by no means proven or certain either way. The point is that whatever he heard, Peter immediately recognised it as the fulfilment of Jesus prophetic words.
I believe the host said a rooster didn't "necessarily" crow. I appreciate his teaching on Hebrew idioms - pointing the reader to study and evaluate the text through the context of the original audience/language - and I believe his point is to bring attention to a dept of the text that goes beyond a mere reading of the words and, hence, a shallow filtering of the text through a 21st century lens. I didn't understand him to teach a conclusion that was different from the intent of the text, or, your statement that "Peter immediately recognized it as the fulfillment of Jesus prophetic words."
Unfortunately, a lot of Christians haven't learned to study the Bible in ways that lead them to first understand and evaluate the text from the perspective of the original author/audience, before they apply it to themselves and their personal experiences. I think this video (and others like it) will show readers that the Bible is a fountain of living water that will not run dry and it is very much worth learning how to drink deeply from that fountain.
@@idnb70 I watched the video & understood the argument. I don't need you to repeat it's points.
It's fine to offer a culturally relevant view. It's not fine to support that with untrue statements. In this case about the habits of roosters. I grew up a few houses away from a guy who kept chickens & provided us with eggs. Roosters do sometimes crow in the middle of the night, I have heard them & and internet search will confirm the fact that it's not all that unusual. So I'm simply calling the author out on providing incorrect information in an attempt to invalidate the usual view of this passage. Not that it matters either way to the passage, but because it's simply not true.
@@kenwebster5053
My neighbor keeps chickens and peacocks. The rooster, when he has one, crows at all times of the night. His house is close to a busy state highway with traffic and street lights. Mr Rooster gave the wake up call frequently at night so that I decided to keep the windows at night because I didn't like to be awakened multiple times a night before it was actually time wake up.😴
The peacocks make an even louder call whenever they are startled. They're similar to a barking dog.
@@kenwebster5053 You are correct, sir. 👍
Anyone who has or lives near a rooster quickly finds out they dont just crow at dawn!
"to abolish the law" is to make the law ineffective or to abandon it as it is not anymore useful for its purpose. To fulfill the law is to implement the law to make it accomplish its purpose.
Actually those phrases are related to the idea of yokes aka the “practical application of the law” in day to day life based on interpreted biblical principles. For instance, to take the phrase “avoid the appearance of evil” as the basis for an interpretive lens for all practical applications of scripture leads to a system that falls apart in practice - because the “appearance of evil” is too flippant and creates a yoke too heavy thereby abolishing the law. Think about it, any piece of clothing you wear is tied to someone who sinned so that could be interpreted as the “appearance of evil”. That legalism obviously isn’t the intent of that passage - leading to a heavy yoke. Jesus addresses this idea saying “his yoke is light” meaning his practical application starts and ends with love for God and man.
I was directed to this address by a friend, this weekend we looked at the 3 examples in the introduction. It was easily shown from the context of each and word searches that the speaker was in error. Eg, Noah uncovered himself, Ham didn't do it. The speaker conveniently omitted the verse showing that his brothers "covered" his nakedness. I'll not give a full study here , simply noting that our whole group clearly saw the error in his presentation. Friends, you can trust a genuine bible translation more than this guy. (By a long, long, way) His language and confidence isn't matched by his facts. May the word of the Living God be your anchor brethren.🙏😃
I would like your take on "no man knows the day or hour" concerning the time in which Jesus will crack open the sky and return. I understand it to be referring to the Feast of Trumpets.
I attended a Christian school as a child and we had to routinely read scripture, what I find interesting is that scripture works on both levels. Take the example of the eyes letting light in the body, what we see does affects us and we do need to watch what see, maybe more so in the world today, the lighter surface level is easier for a child to understand and be guided by while deeper meaner is there for adults to study and discover providing a lifetime of interest, discovery and enjoyment.
That is how it is with everything in my opinion. You can interpret reality like you are reading a book.
I agree. There may be several useful, meaningful, understandings of almost every passage
@@adriandeenedy6363 so you know both ancient & modern Greek? Because if I were to learn Greek today as a second language it wouldn't help me with reading the original texts.
You can read the horoscopes and garner the same results.
Wow that’s true. Yet another fact that makes the Bible the greatest book ever written
Another one that wasn't mentioned here is Daniel 11:37 "Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all."
For years I've heard people say that this verse means that the antichrist would not be married, or perhaps be homosexual, or something of that nature, but then I discovered that "the desire of women," was a Hebrew idiom for the messiah, due to the idea that the women at the time all wanted their child to be the promised seed. So this verse is saying that he will have no regard for the God of his fathers, nor for the messiah... I found this to be very interesting. Excellent video. I really enjoy your work!
There’s always great understand that comes when we go back to the ancient understanding off scripture, “Get the ancient Israelite in your head” as Mike Heiser always says, i’ve been studying the context and culture in its ancient format for years now and it has clarified so much.
Do you have any resources that you use to study ancient Israelites? I have felt the same way about it. I believe studying that subject helps to understand the Bible.
I would read the book of 1 Enoch, testament of the 12 patriarchs, Book of Jubilees, Sibylline Oracles,the book of Jasher etc.If you haven’t studied the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible often referred to as the Old Testament) then a good study to start is Tom Bradford’s Torah (God’s instruction) class, this is in no way pointing to works over grace or anything like that, I say this because some people think that way as soon as they here that, but Satan has divided the body of Christ (Messiah) ,not only in separate denominations, but disconnecting us from the root, which is Messianic (Christ) Judaism, the ideals of the Christ/Messiah and the expectations of him were high at that time and many traditions were taught from ancient times, this is seen in the ancient Hebrew manuscripts, Dead Sea manuscripts , Greek manuscripts and later Aramac translations called Targums, they all show different traditions through there translations and usage, some of those traditions are preserved in the Talmud, Mishnah, though the Talmud and Mishnah were a response of the Pharisees to the New Testament,the pharisees being the group that survived the destruction of the second temple etc. I don’t want to confuse you, just remember the scripture we have is solid, always remember the Bible is the foundation, the unwavering foundation stone (well Jesus is the foundation stone, but you get the point).
There’s very good scholar by the name of David C Mitchell and I absolutely love his books and he bring a lot of these Messiah traditions and ancient interpretations together, The Message of the Psalter, Messiah Ben Joseph, Incarnation of the Word. As a matter of fact these books I mentioned might help before venturing into the Inter-testament literature. Hope this helps, I pray the LORD Jesus guide you as you grow in the grace and knowledge of HIM. 2 Peter 3:18
I believe you will be blessed by these resources, I would suggest learning the ancient interpretations of the scripture, especially as concerns the Messianic interpretations,this will actually help you to prove Jesus is the Messiah (though Jesus Himself did that obviously)apart from the New Testament like The early disciples who had no New Testament, remember the reliability of the New Testament claims rest in the Old Testament, many Bible scholars say the Old Testament is the New Testament concealed and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed, plus the LORD Himself says “He declares the end from the beginning”. Then the New Testament will be icing on the cake.
I attended a Bible college that taught these idioms freely. That was 55 years old. I needed to hear this video as I am in great mind turmoil about this subject.
I learned from a Rabbi many years ago that one cannot really understand Scripture without the Hebrew mindset. I learned about the "cock crows" from an Israeli teacher. I learned the rest from study and Messianic Rabbi's teaching.
The 7th phrase mentioned: my Dad actually came to this very same conclusion simply by pondering the text by himself. It is quite exciting to find out that this was an actual Jewish idiom!
Shenandoah Valley of Virginia
So here I am decades and decades later after going to Mass for years learning the actual meanings. Thank you Brandon.
Good video. As for the curse of Canaan, it implies Ham committed maternal incest and Canaan (and his descendants) was the product of such unholy union. This was the reason Canaan was the cursed one.
Thank you. Very kind of you. I always wondered why our Lord used idioms to confuse and mislead future followers in Christ. Our all knowing Lord must have a plan. Brandon, You have shone a light on the darkness of Christian ignorance. Hallelujah. Christ is King.
I grew up in a religious tradition that we believed every word in our KJV (only acceptable Bible version to God) was directly from God’s mouth. And we would divide from other believers who didn’t agree with our “accurate “ interpretation. Sometimes fellowship hanging on a verb tense.
My first awakening is how did the first century church worship correctly without a New Testament Bible. Acts 8, Phillip and the eunuch. If they were lucky they may have an apostle’s letter. And then when the Bible was collected (300 AD) and eventually mass produced over a thousand years later.
Not to mention the idioms and reading the New Testament not within the context of the Old Testament. And more recent discovery of older manuscripts reveal translation errors.
With the help of you and others, I now realize God’s message is about Jesus and love. Not striving for doctrinal purity and perfect worship service as we interpreted Paul.
Thank you Brandon.
I didn’t know that about cock crow!! I always learn another nugget! Thank u
I have Hebrew and Greek (also Akkadian, Aramaic, Egyptian, and Latin): in light of the insights presented here all the observations make perfect sense.
As a Catholic, I really appreciate your videos
I completely agree with Karen. This is the first time in 30 years of studying Gods word that I have had some of these phrases unpacked in their original meaning. Thank you so much.

[Psalm 110:4 The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek . (Hebrew: ‘melech’ king + ‘tzedek’ righteous/just = the Just King)

Jeremiah 33:15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
Dear Brandon, this ministry of yours explaining the meaning of passages in scripture to me is powerful. Please don't digress from this to much as this builds an understanding of scripture that is worth more than all the gold in the world. Thank you for your heartfelt ministry.
Jesus was not saying that Peter determines right from wrong but that we all do because we all have access to the Holy Spirit, to the Christ. I am with you always.
"Heaven" = "God" is similar to how in English we say "the White House issued a statement" actually means the president issued a statement.
Great deep Teaching of all Hebrew words Jesus used ... Thank you and Amen 🙏🌈🖖
In the section where Noah and company are disembarking the ark, I have heard that the Hebrew grammar states emphatically "Ham, HE is the father of Canaan," making sure that the reader knows that Noah was not the father.
Thank you so much for sharing this series of videos. In my years of attending church I was never taught these things in fact Pastors have made many mistakes while teaching themselves. Thank you for being such a dedicated disciple in teaching us what Jesus really wants us to understand!
An example of binding & loosing-Lk 13:16, & done in Jesus's Name today.
In my name. Confirmation of what God told me. Thank you.
You bring light to all the confusion. May the will of God be fulfilled
Name means reputation, authority,power.
I share your videos with numerous people but the one that I love the most is my wife who is Jewish and now watches your videos regularly! Thank you so much for your teachings and in depth explanations.
That’s so exciting! Thank you for sharing them!

"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"

lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,

Blessed are all who take refuge in him."
Psalms 2:12
@@BrandonRobbinsMinistry Leave the Jews alone. Haven't they been persecuted enough? Don't they have their own myths to grapple with? Nothing you posit can be verified.
Love that others are learning the Hebrew words/phrases & their significance when reading scripture. A whole new world of meaning opens up.
Big problem. No living person speaks biblical hebrew. You all are learning from Catholic lexicons that occasionally change definitions to suit their theology. Simple word studies can prove this. 500 years ago people still conversed in hebrew.
I mean the very argument of this video is flawed. It assumes we know better now. But the fact remains there has not been a more ignorant time since the Catholic church caused the dark ages.
@@joshportie Thank you.. that is why Gandalf might be the best, or Neo.. but Harry Potter was just made up, right.. Aah these books..
@@GardenArcher7625 let he who has eyes to see, see. And ears to hear, hear. Parable may not be for you. Or maybe not yet.
Thank you for this. Seriously. I prayed for better understanding of the words recently and I was led here. God works in mysterious ways literally lol
One I came across with our Bible study (in which we used different translations) was "covered his feet" instead of "relieving himself" (Saul in the cave). "Covering his feet" was an idiom for going to the toilet. This helped us understand when Ruth "uncovered" Boaz's feet. We thought it meant he had gotten drunk, and Ruth got him dressed again. It explains his reaction that she had given him honor (and helped him keep his).
so Ruth helped Boaz pee? the bible is really organic haha its full of bathroom humor.
@@lauraschiesl8845 kind of the opposite. He was in disarray from the partying, and she put him back together (i.e., "uncovered his feet").
@@jacobambos3885 i found farts described in Isaiah 26 and all kinds of funny jokes about asses in the bible. jokes about dogs and the bride. the two witnesses have a lot of jokes about them since they always joke around with God He saw them coming before He gave the first word. so funny.
Wow, I knew about the Noah thing from a messianic Jewish friend, but I didn't expect you to go there!
Greed vs. generosity.
So this explains why it's such a big deal that Peter is the one who has the vision about clean/unclean foods before he baptizes Cornelius, why Acts 15 gives him such a prominent role in what comes out of the first council regarding "Judaizing" and also nails why Paul rebuked Peter for being wishy-washy with the Judaizers (I forgot which epistle this is.) Amazing! Thank you!
Thank you. It was very interesting to get a better picture of the reasoning behind the curse of Ham and Canaan.
It was fascinating about the crow and Peter. That is where knowing culture helps.
I love all I am learning.
The Chosen, and these lessons you give , things I've learned such as Shabbat, triggered an extensive study of Israel, Messianic Jews and more.
I have been so grateful for this learning and growing I have been blessed to experience these last few years.
Praying for all.
In Jesus name amen
I love the work you do to bring us these wonderful teachings. They make me dig in to learn more on my own. Thank you Brandon.
Holy Spirit helps me read the scriptures… He is a good teacher.
Thank you, Brandon, for continuing to give such great insights. I was also concerned about the severity of God's response to Ham in Genesis 9. As you were describing it, it reminded me of a comment made by John the Baptist to Jesus during an episode 5 in the Chosen. John was going to return to Jerusalem to call out Herod for marrying his niece. He said Herod had uncovered his brother's nakedness.
Shabbath Shalom qodesh mishpacha!! YAHWEH barak u b'YAHSHUA ha'Maschiach!! HalleluYAH!! Amein!!
Thank you so much. It does make a lot of difference.. ❤❤❤. I also read comments of some brilliant folks that moves me. Thank you. This is Bible Study on Thursday nights I used to attend in So. California. I so love our LORD for his generosity to give us authority to represent him in what we do and say. I heard a woman pray: Father let my face be the window by which people will see you and not me."
Thank you and God bless you. Your seeds and water may give Abba a more abundant harvest!!! His glory not mine.
These explanations, especially when referring to the origin hebrew, reallly open my eyes for a deeper meaning in the study of scripture. Thank you for these new insights.
Insight is how we are to see all of life. The kingdom of heaven is within you. The world is illusion.

I agree w/ you Karen. I started studying what things really mean in the bible. Translations can be bad & its our job to search for answers.
@@termination9353 the New Testament is rubbish that embellished Paul's esoteric hero
@@fukenbiker No need to be nasty.
On one of my days off, Im gonna binge a bunch of these.
Fascinating! Although I had heard that interpretation of Noah's nakedness before. It also occurs in Leviticus 20:17. But that interpretation sits oddly with the next passage
*Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned backward, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.*
How do you explain that passage? One explanation is that it was a later addition by someone who didn't know the idiom, but I wondered if there are other explanations?
HERE is The Savior
HalleluYAH translates “Praise ye YaH”
YaH is The Heavenly Father
YaH is Who Created “Man (Adam)”
YaH arrives via the TENT OF MEETING
YaH was Who they Crucified for the sins OF “Man”
** NO female involved WHATSOEVER **
- Hebrew Book of Isaiah
Isaiah 42:8
"I am YaH; that is my Name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.
Isaiah 43:11
I, I am YAH, and there is no other Savior but Me.
Isaiah 45:5
I am YaH, and there is none else.
The ones who copied that over and over were scribes, there's no way that they wouldn't have known the idiom, nor would they have been so disrespectful to scripture as to add something to something that was not only considered holy and from God, but also history.
Noah's grandson Canaan was birthed by his wife. Even though this was during the time when first cousins, or even brothers and sisters could marry, sons to mothers and aunts, or daughters to fathers and uncles was never permitted. Because Canaan was therefore a child of incest, he and all of his descendants were cursed. Shem and Japheth covered their mother, who was probably passed out drunk as well. Ham had issues!

No he wasn't. Noah's wife was more than likely past the point where she could bare children, no children were born to her and Noah after the flood.
Also if Canaan was the product of incest between Noah's wife and Ham, he wouldn't have survived infancy.
@@lilchristuten7568 you've got a lot to learn, fella!
So Peter was given the Authority by Jesus to declare what is sinful and what isn’t. And my understanding of the “Keys of the Kingdom“ was a reference to Isaiah where the Keys to the Kingdom were given to the King’s steward and was meant to convey the King’s Authority and this was an office that was handed down from one generation to the next.
It’s as if the early church took these commands of Jesus seriously and developed a Church with this authority. Awesome. If only we all knew more about the history and meaning of our Christianity! Seek the Truth!
Key of kingdom from the Acts of Peter (verse 38):
Concerning which the Lord saith in a mystery: Unless ye make the things of the right hand as those of the left, and those of the left as those of the right, and those that are above as those below, and those that are behind as those that are before, ye shall not have knowledge of the kingdom.
This is why I like original intent. In newish translations, you have, faith is the assurance of things hoped for. Sorry, but faith isn't a feeling. It is, as the original intent tells us, faith is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for. Are there good emotions that come from knowing? Yeah. But faith is substance and not a feeling. This is why I stay rooted in the authorized version and I occasionally read other translations.
In the book of James we are given command that we are to ask of God and we don't have to wonder if God will say yes. Those who know that yeah is always God's answer to asking in faith from Him, are praying in Jesus Name. But people who don't know if God will say yes, are not praying in Jesus Name.
Diluting the Word of GOD with "maybe" and other "possibilities" is confusing, to say the least.....
One of the most frustrating things is pastors who don’t make an effort to teach people these things. I remember an older pastor whose church I attended and he would often share the original meanings of words/expressions. Unfortunately he no longer pastors and I’m not sure how much Greek or Hebrew my new pastor even knows. I really enjoy listening to Rabbi Jason Sobel because he tells the meaning of words found in the bible. Very interesting and quite different from what we are taught.
You are right that the proper vision is how we are to live. The world we see holds no truth. "Judge not by the flesh or appearance but judge by righteous judgment." This world is not of God's creation but by the prodigal son who left God. By asking God to replace physical sight with spiritual sight, we see truly and are reborn as spirit not as flesh.
Thanks for the first one, I always pondered over the " single eye " thing, and could never figure it out.
Matthew chapter 13 verse 10 to 16
Blessed Afternoon Pastor Brandon
Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago
Thank you so much for joining us today!
So for Gen 9 21-23 the word translated uncovered, the description of Noah in his tent, means “to be disgracefully exposed.” Ham gloats over his fathers shame and does nothing to preserve his fathers dignity. In contrast to Ham, Shem and Japheth walk in backward and cover Noah. They honor their father and win the approval and blessing of God. So no assault was done 😂 but rather using context (9:26-27) They received blessing for honoring their father.👍👍
Brandon, some of the idioms you referred to did not come to us directly through the Hebrew, which as you know was not the ordinary language of the people of Jesus’ place and time. Aramaic was the common tongue, and the NT was written in Greek. The idioms have already gone through at least two translations by the time they get to us. Therefore your hypothesis stumbles a bit. Can you please explain?
Ha! Thanks I just asked a similar question. A Thinker…hear, hear!
Thankyou, Brandon, for the knowledge you pass on. Our pastor is good at teaching the same way. It helps with that "whoa" reaction when I read the Bible. :) Be blessed!
Very insightful and inspiring. Thank you
Thank you for having an Open-minded way of looking at the Bible, it feels amazing to realise that I might not be alone in realising that I was seeing the bible differently. I always questioned but those who were giving me the word did not like it and so I left the Church but did not leave my quest to know who is g-d. I too read & see the scripture differently. Lovely Video Brandon Thank You.
I agree, for what it is worth
Thank you for these teachings!!! SO GOOD!
Thanks, Brandon. I had always understood the sin of Ham to be severe disrespect of his father. I had pictured him with a mocking attitude saying to his brothers, "Hey guys, check it out! The old man is drunk as a skunk and naked as a jaybird!" But the brothers did the opposite by discretely covering their father. The ten commandments had not been given yet, but Ham was obviously not honoring his father and was violating the heart of God's character. This has been enough for me to understand the curse of Canaan, but if what you say is true, that paints even a more horrifying picture.
Considering the severity of the curse on Canaan, I had always thought that since Noah was lying there drunk, possibly passed out, and naked, that Ham had homosexual lust after his father, and maybe even attempted sex with him while he was passed out drunk. After hearing the explanation of the idiom, that seems about right to me. But then Canaan went and told his brothers, that's interesting. Maybe he thought they might be interested in taking advantage of their father also? I don't know, but it's interesting.
Except for context.
In the biblical account, Noah “lying uncovered” is quite literal, and likewise his sons “covering his nakedness”. Why then would Ham “seeing his nakedness” be something else?
@@Leslie_Crich yeah, he ignores the follow up story
@@Leslie_Crich Could it not be both? Could seeing his father's nakedness not have led to something worse, and then when he bragged about it to his brothers, they wanted to honor their father by covering him up?
@@the_real_littlepinkhousefly
We could imagine that might have been so, but we would have no contextual basis to claim it with certainty.
2:32 What is said here is fine it lets us know the eyes are the entry what we feed them feeds the whole.
4:26 What is said here is fine and is supported elsewhere. James 2:10 Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
i mean i knew you were good but i kinda got distracted from your content...... it might take a few days to get my eyebrows to come back down after that last one because WOW...... that actually changes everything. just.... i am speechless.
What's the explanation for his other two brothers who walked in backwards, with a blanket, and covered him up?
My question too. ?
@@paulaparsons9197 I started watching this guy and he seemed alright at first, but some of the things he teaches are very questionable and wrong. My belief is if you step outside the KJV people can easily be deceived. Some of the newer translations change words, leave out words and leave out whole verses, so it changes the whole context of what something means. He may know Hebrew and Greek words, but he can't honestly say he knew what they meant, unless he actually lived on those times. He's got a video here on his channel about tye mark of the beast in Revelations and trying to say that it was a coded message to the people about Nero. That's what secular people who studied the Bible say that's what it means. If that was the case, then it wouldn't be a revelation or prophecy! There's too many things that's going on in the world, leading to a one world government and a cashless society, where a person will have to use something, or not be able to buy or sell. That's why I stopped watching him so much, and after this video I believe I'm fone with him altogether. God Bless Paula!🙏❤🙏
Always enjoy your content, Brandon. Blessings and Maranatha
Thank you for clarifying what "in Jesus' name" means. I was taught as a child that every prayer had to end with, "in Jesus' name, amen," or else it wouldn't be valid; merely saying "amen" wasn't enough. Like you said, it's as if the name of Jesus is some kind of magic word. I have a family member who is afraid that "in Jesus' name" isn't enough either. He is so afraid, that he ends every prayer with, "in and through the name of Christ, Your Son and our Savior, amen." He's the only person I know who prays like this. Anybody else know someone who does something like this?
I think he got 1 context correct, but he got another one wrong. If you are speaking with Authority as a Priest, you speak in Jesus name as his representative WITH authority. That is where one would make promises or blessing with the authority of God.
When you pray "in Jesus name" then you are appealing to God and claiming Jesus Christ as your mediator and intercessor with God. It is an acknowledgement that you NEED a Savior who is clean and pure, therefore NOT estranged from God, to stand between you. Because as a Human being with a fallen nature, who is subject to sin, you are technically, and legally not worthy to interact with God. "No unclean thing can enter into the Kingdom of God" Jesus is Clean so he can be with God. and he Took upon him Your sins and My sin so that he can lift us up.
If that's his conviction then that's his conviction though it's pretty common for people to end it in more than just in Jesus' name. People say "in your precious son's name, Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen!" Something like that
Religion has a habit of keeping its followers living in fear!
Interesting perspectives. Thank you for your replies.
@@Paul-hl8yg But not Christianity. Hence why many Christians are not religious but followers of Christ. Living in fear is as God said in Psalms the beginning of Wisdom. But to become wise one must understand God's will. One cannot understand God's will if they are in fear. One can only be wise once he loves God. It's through love that Wisdom is made complete. Continuous fear simply becomes foolishness according to God. It means not growing up as a baby Christian.
Just as you fear punishment from your parent initially but you can only understand your parent once you love them by growing up. God doesn't punish people on Earth but He disciplines us.
My English teacher could never teach idioms and proverbs like you!
First visit! I'm thrilled!. This is going to help me immensely. I just started getting interested in the Bible a couple of years ago and life has been a little chaotic for studying. Thank you very much! 🙏
Thank you for this because it is very helpful to me because of coming from a culture that uses proverbs to communicate and when I use some my family in America does not understand what I am saying.
This is my first time here. I have to be honest, I’ve been praying for this. The explanation of scripture. I’m still looking for a church to attend that has the same purpose. Thank you sir. God bless you. Liked and subscribed!
there it is, another idiom...."I have to be honest," .....I for one honestly despise this idiom, I suggest you search for a true word of faith church where the scriptures are explained, Grace and peace be multiplied to you.
I am happy I found this channel. Just wow. I'm grateful for you and tour work cuz this is helpful for me going forward. 🙏
Thank you for your faithfulness in sharing a deeper dive into the word.
Wow, my eyes are opened! I had no idea about Ham. These videos are so informative. I love them. Thank you!
Yeah, this young man is very intelligent.
Thank-you for this fascinating teaching. I am definitely going to watch some more.
Brilliant teaching Brandon! Thank you so much!
The Aramaic word 'gaver' means rooster, but it also means the 'temple crier' who alerted the early risers to come into the temple for the morning devotionals, and this was the 4th watch (3a.m. - 6a.m.).
Canaan was Noah's grandson by his wife. So, since he was a child of incest, he and all of his descendants were cursed.
Another idiom of note is the "hearing in the ear" one. It's always translated as just "hearing," such as, "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by The Word of ELohim." But translators left off "...in the ear" because they figured, 'well, how else do you hear?' But it's an idiom that means "to obey what you hear." This is also the definition of 'faith' because it's a verb: a state of being (belief), and an action (adherence to your belief); and faith without works is dead.
So maybe you know. With the Noah and Ham incident, if Ham uncovering his father's nakedness was sleeping with Noah's wife then what were Shem and Japheth really doing when it says, "But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father’s nakedness."?
@AuthorJaymiMozeak good question, but although the 'uncovering his father's nakedness' phrase is an idiom, the 'covering their father's nakedness' phrase is more literal. The point was Shem and Japheth not seeing Noah's wife naked and humbled - because only a husband is allowed to see a wife naked. Ham dishonored his father. This is how Reuben lost his firstborn birthright, by sleeping with Bilhah, whom Jacob didn't sleep with after that. I *think* David's son Absalom slept with one of his wives also.
Your lessons have helped me to understand scripture. Thank you!
wow this was amazing and insightful. thank you 😊
God bless you young man.
Shalom and blessings Brandon. Thank you for an excellent and edifying video. However, regarding the subject of 'Binding and loosing', the context is all about discipline in the assembly (Ekklesia). Peter was not given the authority or ability to determine what is prohibited or permitted in future generations! Does that mean that Peter was given the ability and authority to change Torah? Of course not. Yeshua and all of His disciples and true followers were Torah observant and that did not change throughout the book of Acts, contrary to christian belief. Every blessing. David (UK)
Each week I look forward to the teachings you give each week. Thank you and God Bless You!
HERE is The Savior
HalleluYAH translates “Praise ye YaH”
YaH is The Heavenly Father
YaH is Who Created “Man (Adam)”
YaH arrives via the TENT OF MEETING
YaH was Who they Crucified for the sins OF “Man”
** NO female involved WHATSOEVER **
- Hebrew Book of Isaiah
Isaiah 42:8
"I am YaH; that is my Name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.
Isaiah 43:11
I, I am YAH, and there is no other Savior but Me.
Isaiah 45:5
I am YaH, and there is none else.
Brandon, I so enjoy listening to your perspective with scripture. Your stewardship in teaching is greatly valued. 🙏🏻❤️
THM in Gen. 1:2 means Tihamah- western Arabia regions, Hijaz, Asir and Yemen- not ‘the deep,’ The ‘Jordan ‘ is rocky escarpment, not a river.” The Bible Came from Arabia “, Kamal Salibi plus his 3 other bible study books. Much correction still needed in the OT. NT as well.
Thank you Brandon. Your videos really help me to understand the Bible more clearly. God bless you
Yay, I just saw this come through, so good, Thankyou !
Thank you Brandon !!
Thank you for this knowledge
Hope to hear more like this.
Thank you and Bless you for explaining these things! 10 thumbs up!
Happy I found the channel. These truths need to be taught
I'm an atheist, but my favorite linguistic part of the Bible is Jesus naming Peter the first pope by saying "upon this rock I shall build my church". Because it's a pun. Peter comes from the Greek "Petros" meaning rock
Allan this was taught to me at Sunday school
That was absolutely amazing bit of information. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you Brandon! 🙏
Thank you for this helpful video! God bless you
This was super insightful Brandon! I especially found the explanations on abolishing vs. fulfilling the law and binding and loosing extremely helpful. Great work!
It is not insightful. It is made to make you think he has some special knowledge of insight. Much of what he is saying...is his own interpretation. Beware of translations like this man is proclaiming.
Wow... Context!
Especially that last one!
