- Ba'al shows up a lot in the Bible. Today we are going to look at a series of myths related to Ba'al recovered from the ancient city of Ugarit (modern Ras Shamra). These stories conform quite well to what is called the "Sea Myth" which we discussed in last weeks video. We will see what's in these stories, how we can understand them, and what, if any, significance they have for understanding the Bible.

This is awesome thanks.
Interesting thanks. Mike Heiser teaches on this, just a note that the video/link pointed to for the psalm doesn't appear on this video
Sorry about that. We mentioned two different videos but TH-cam only lets us link to one within the video itself. Here’s the Psalm 29 video: th-cam.com/video/fWBJ5w0DkPA/w-d-xo.html
@@BeneaththeBible thanks
Good video but paced a little too fast in my opinion
I thought baal or osiris was linked to Nimrod but couldnt ever fully connect anything. Just ideas ice heard
why is all the other creation myths always start with a struggle and the God of the Hebrews start with actual creation from the nothing?
Very interesting but have you figured out what these myths are teaching? Ba'al is like Osiris, persephone, Orpheus and many many others including Jesus (he went to hades for a bit.. all theses myths are describing the same hidden truth.. in fact all religions hide this in their esoteric teachings.. the thing to understand with these myths of the underworld and how they escape it is the actual location of the underworld or the land of the dead you see we assume without question that this is life and what comes next is death but according the ancients we have it backwards. Your soul is entombed in flesh the element of earth and this isn't life my friends this is the underworld we must escape.. this isn't life this is death
The stories are linked to the inner you. You are the son part of the Godhead in-between or encompassed who's in the center or middle. You must have the Epiphany of God in order to make sense of it. It's because you're born dead spiritually. In fact you're given death until you come alive. This is what Jesus meant by you're born into sin. You're born into dissonance and have to find your harmony. The Elite class call the ignorant masses of humanity the Walking Dead. This is why the people in that show take on biblical names. He's the God of the living not the dead. Bible says. How do you ascend? By killing your own bull. Your own BS. By changing the things about yourself the heart. The son is the heart. It's pure of heart. Do that and work on yourself by facing your fears and I promise you will have this spiritual Epiphany. Epiphany hence the name Epiphysis gland which is your Pineal gland symbolized by a Pine tree or Pine cone. Epiphany Christian holiday is January 6th.
7 Heaven is in the ment mind. Heaven is within you.
lots of similarities with Indo-European Pagan mythology.
What scripture is this
It’s not in the Bible. It’s from some myths from the time and place when the Old Testament was written. We’re looking at the similarities and differences with the Bible.
@@BeneaththeBible ooooooh. I see

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15)
Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.(Daniel 5:25). Meaning numbered, numbered, weighed, divided.
The entire Universe is built on the transcendental constants e, π. many of the fundamental laws of physics and other sciences rely over and over again on these two critical mathematical constants. These two numbers are encoded through Gematria that were introduced from approx 5th to 8th century BC, by which the letters of ancient alphabets had assigned a numerical value, and so every letter, word or phrase written in Hebrew or in Greek, the languages used to write, respectively, the Old and the New Testament of the Bible, have a numerical value associated to them.
π is encoded in Genesis 1:1, the very first verse of the Bible and of the Old Testament (Torah/Tanak) written in Hebrew.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth (Genesis 1:1)
בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ (Genesis 1:1)
From the Hebrew alphanumeric code introduced around the 8th century BCE, And formula (NUMLETT*PROLETT/NUMWORD*PROWORD) = (28 * 2.3887 x 10^27) / (7 * 3.0415 x 10^17) = 3.1415...X10^17. it matches the actual value of π until the 3.1415.
π is the number of the circle, of completion, of what is closed and self-contained; as such, it's a good mathematical reference to the concept of a God Creator of all things, and of a Creation that includes everything that was created by God; (John 1:3 Isaiah 40:22)
This was encoded in the bible with a level of precision that was 2000 years ahead of Chinese mathematician Zu Chongzhi who got π close to about seven digits around the 5th century AD, surpassing his compatriot who got it close to three digits earlier in the 2nd century AD.
e is encoded in John 1:1, the first verse of the gospel (John) of the New Testament written in Greek.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.(John 1:1)
ἐν ἀρχηι ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος (John 1:1)
From the Greek alphanumeric code introduced around the 5th century BCE, And formula (NUMLETT*PROLETT/NUMWORD*PROWORD) = (52 * 8.4362 x 10^75)/ (17 * 9.4930 x 10^35) = 2.7183...X10^40. it matches the actual value of e until the 2.7183.
e is the number of the relationship between the big and the small, of the bridge between the infinitesimal and the infinite;
what number could be better associated with the Son, the One who was Sent by the Father, the One who is the only bridge for mankind to the infinite God who created the universe. (John 14:6) The Son who is the living word of God which was made flesh (John 1:14) Whose title is the Word of God (Revelation 19:13)
The Euler's number e was encoded some 1500 years before the human kind first discovered its existence and importance in 1683 by Jacob Bernoulli.
The fine structure constant (α) value can be also derived from the above two key verses by squaring the verse gematria values of Genesis 1:1 with John 1:1.
It is considered the greatest mysteries of physics. Without it, it would be impossible to form even simple structures like atoms, molecules, planets, or stars.
Given that Squaring is the best way to express the energy of a moving object in physics, Verse gematria = Sum of all letter values. (Genesis 1:1 = 2701 & John 1:1 = 3627)
you would get the fine structure constant (α) derived as 27013627^2 =0.00729736..e17. Given that the current approx α value recommended is currently 0.00729735.
In fact, it was only in 1916 that this magic number was first introduced by Arnold Sommerfeld.
Furthermore, there is a pattern in the verse Gematria of Genesis 1:1 to John 1:1 = 2701-3627 = |27|01-36|27|; There are exactly a total of 27 books in the New Testaments which reveal the Messiah/Word of God (Jesus Christ the Son).
John 1:14 states that Jesus Christ is the Word of God which was made flesh and the only begotten of the father. Whose title is the Word of God (Revelation 19:13)
Revelation 22:13 states that Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending.
Revelation 13:18 states that the number of the antichrist who will deceive the world in the end days is 666. And, the sum of integers from the beginning of 1 to 36 is exactly 666.
Hence, (27) (01-36) (27) = (Jesus-the Alpha) -> (From the beginning to the end of the anti-christ 666) -> (Jesus-the Omega).
In addition, The Golden Ratio Phi (φ) is encoded in Hebrew 8:5 when God spoke to Moses and reveal to him the pattern in which all things to be made in accordance to.
Hebrew 8:5 states: "Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount."
οἵτινες ὑποδείγματι καὶ σκιᾷ λατρεύουσιν τῶν ἐπουρανίων, καθὼς κεχρημάτισται μωϊσῆς μέλλων ἐπιτελεῖν τὴν σκηνήν, ὅρα γάρ, φησίν, ποιήσεις πάντα κατὰ τὸν τύπον τὸν δειχθέντα σοι ἐν τῶ ὄρει· (Hebrew 8:5)
From the Greek alphanumeric code introduced around the 5th century BCE, And the same formula (NUMLETT*PROLETT/NUMWORD*PROWORD) = (156 * 2.2252 x 10^235)/ (28 * 7.6621 x 10^74) = 1.6180...X10^161. it matches the actual value of φ until the 1.6180.
The golden ratio (φ) is a pattern which is sometimes called the "divine proportion," because of its frequency in the natural world. For centuries, the golden ratio has fascinated all kinds of people, not just mathematicians. Physicists and biologists have studied it, architects and artists have used it, and worshippers have described it as a divine design. And through the centuries, the golden ratio has continued to amaze its diverse fans, frequently cropping up at unexpected places.
In fact, the golden ratio is the mathematical rule of love... do unto the next as was done unto the previous. All of nature is reflecting and expressing His character. God is Love (1 John 4:8)
Now, let's go to the simple common sense example: the smallest protein we know has 25 amino acids. The smaller and more simple proteins used as building blocks for the cell life and necessary to build DNA, from 50 to 100 amino acids as a minimum, and even thousands of amino acids in many cases. But let's consider a simple typical protein with some 50 amino acids. To think that this molecule could be the product of chance, of a coincidence, requires to accept that the 50 amino acids have been combined, in the right way and in the right order, by chance, by accident, by coincidence. At first glance it doesn't look impossible if we have millions of years to test combinations, right? This is the problem with big numbers, they easily dazzle those who think they have a common sense they lack. The probability of this event, if you computes it (And if you were to do a quick consultation to some biochemist to know the factors he'll have to take in account), even if all the atoms of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and others necessary available in the universe were only used to build amino acids, and even if all these amino acids in the universe would only be trying once and again a possible configuration of 50 steps, without repeating those who had been already checked, from the moment the universe started existing until today, and at a rhythm of one trial for every second for every 50 amino acids, even so, the chance that by coincidence that protein would be formed in the universe after 15 billion years of trial would be less than one in billions. And if we consider a more realistic case, a protein with some 100 amino acids, then the corresponding probability would require universes of universes, and ages of the universe of ages of the universe, purely devoted to try every possible combination, without repeating those already tested, to have less than one chance in a trillion to make this happen for this small molecule.
Origin: Probability of a Single Protein Forming by Chance

let us then consider this perspective. There are 90,000 possible 5 digit numbers from 1.0000 to 9.9999 that could have occurred from a given equation. The chance that the digit sequence 3.1415 occurs by coincidence is therefore 1/90,000 in Genesis 1:1. The chance that Euler’s number (e) is calculated from the Gospel of John 1:1 by the same equation to 5 correct digits, is also 1/90,000.The probability that both occur by random chance in these textually related verses is thus 1/90,000 x 1/90,000 = 1/ 8,100,000,000. If we add in the probability that the golden ratio could have been calculated up to 5 correct digits in the textually related Hebrew 8:5 with the same equation, you would get the probability increase to more than 1 in 7 trillion chance that this is just a coincidence. Furthermore, we have not even include the probability of the fine structure constant α being derived from combining the verse gematria from the forementioned Genesis 1:1 & John 1:1. And, that both key verses gematria pattern confirms the AC number in the book of revelation. And, the exact number of new testament books which give us Jesus Christ the Son, the living word of God which was made flesh (The only bridge for our salvation).
The first clue that this was not a biblical true perspective is the name beneath the Bible. Similar to The serpent being under jesus's feet and hell being beneath heaven
If El and baal are myths then that would make yahweh a myth as well 😂 because Yahweh Inherited the epathets of El and baal
Man I KNEW that red bull gave you blue wings. I landed a Bullseye dead center with an Arrow. El Toro the bull Kal-El superman Elyon, turned me into a Torso cause its the Torah. So El is God and his son is Ba'al.
