@Johan Rodrigues So, pls, define what is evil without recurring to metaphysics? God isn't Voluntarist. You misunderstand Him with the protestant idea of God.
@Johan Rodrigues God gave everyone the choice to follow him, because if someone is following him out of force their devotion doesn't really mean anything. All those bad things that are happening aren't God's doing, it is what people have chosen to do and while God has the power to stop them he has to let us make decisions for ourselves. We aren't robots. When someone chooses to allow God into their life they began to live by God and doing the right things. God is perfect and righteous. When Jesus died on the cross he allowed us to be with God. His death cleansed us from all the wrong things we've done and we can now be in the presence of God. Even though you don't like God he loves you sooo much more than you will ever know. God considers you one of his children and Jesus died for you. My prayer is that one day you realise this. ❤
For all the people commenting about the length of the video and the update schedule: animation is one of the most elaborate forms of art making. I’m very surprised they put them out AS FAST as they do. People must be working so hard!

This new style we're using for the Spiritual Beings series has introduced many challenges for the animation team, so working on a shorter video was actually very helpful.

Can't wait for more of this. The "Son of Man" series on the podcast has been mind-blowing, earth-shattering, & gut-splattering. Excited to learn more from you guys, as always!
@@Loralou4455 not sure how far you’ve gotten in the podcast archive but the series that goes with these videos is called “God or gods” it’s way back in July of 2018 (episode 94 is the beginning of the series…I went and looked just to make sure) They are… like “the Son of Man” series…just as MIND BLOWING and if someone you know is second guessing their faith this is “the series” you should recommend. I sat there dumbfounded the entire time! Eventually thinking why are we not taught the Bible like this! More teaching less preaching should be the way of the church. Anyway just figured I would mention it ❤️🛐❤️🛐❤️✝️
The biblical words that are translated into English as “God/god” are “elohim” (Hebrew) and “theos” (Greek). In the Bible, these words are used to refer to the one God of Israel, the ultimate source and Creator of all reality, including other spiritual beings (see Gen. 1:1; Deut. 6:4). However, these words are also used to refer to other spiritual beings like angels (e.g., Ps. 8:5), the divine council (e.g., Ps. 89:5-8), and the deities worshiped by other nations (e.g., Exod. 12:12; Deut. 4:28; 1 Cor. 8:5-6). Elohim and theos can even refer to the non-physical spirits of the dead (e.g., 1 Sam. 28:13). When the biblical authors call other spiritual beings “elohim,” they are not expressing a belief that these beings are God. Elohim and theos are category titles that refer to any being inhabiting the spiritual realm that exists parallel to the earthly realm. The one Creator God of Israel is an elohim, but no other elohim is the Creator God. This helps us clarify the often misunderstood concept of monotheism. This word is a fusion of two Greek words mono (one) and theism (god). The modern definition of monotheism is the belief that there is only one God. This is not how the biblical authors use the words elohim and theos. Nowhere in the Bible do they claim that there is only one spiritual being. Rather, they believe that there is one elohim supreme over all other elohim, the Creator of all things, Yahweh.
Can you site a verse that uses Theos as referring to spiritual beings? I understand that Theos can mean God or god but when is Theos used for other spiritual beings?
Little bit confused right now, so when Jesus referred to psalm 82 “ aren’t you all elohim” he meant that he is also one of these heavenly creatures and not yahweh !
Elohim, god on high! Can’t you hear your people cry? Help us now! This dark hour! And DELIVER US! HEAR US AND DELIVER US! These years of slavery have grown too cruel to stand!
my prayer for the bible project team: God please continue to guide the bible project team. please give them the strength, wisdom, and love to continue to make amazing videos and works for expanding Your kingdom. God, please bless them with Your grace and may they not fall into temptation. do not let their hearts be filled with pride and may they rely on You only. may Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. in Jesus' mighty name i pray these things... amen.
Although I Still really enjoy your content, I am missing your biblical references (verses). I love to go back to the Word to read your sources each time i watch your videos. Please, would you add the bible verses refering to your teachings next time you have the opportunity to do so ? May God continue to bless you and keep you in his Spirit and truth.
I think they're getting their concepts from Dr. Heiser's research --just like YAHgeel_pitting said. The basic book is "Supernatural", I suggest everyone interested starts with that one. Then, "The Unseen Realm". Finally, his newest book, "Angels". Of course don't expect it to be 100% biblical: in order to go deeper into the Bible, one has to know about ancient Middle East languages and cultures.
Testimony: I looked up Elohim because I was looking at a lady's trip to Isreal. When she came to the place where the Angel Gabriel told the 3 Shepherd's that Jesus was born I heard, inside, ELOHIM! Jesus wanted me to know this word and its understanding. I honestly NEVER KNEW THIS WORD before it was spoke to me. Thank you for this video.
The Bible Project Are you stupid? *Elohim means Gods not God.* *”im” in Elohim is a masculine plural of respect.* *The singular is “Elah”.* *The Hebrew name for God is “Elah/Alah/Allah”.* (i) אלה ישׂראל (Elah Yisrael), God of Israel (Ezra 5:1) (ii) אלה ירושׁלם (Elah Yerushelem), God of Jerusalem (Ezra 7:19) (iii) אלה שׁמיא (Elah Shemaya), God of Heaven (Ezra 7:23) (iv) אלה אבהתי (Elah-avahati), God of my fathers, (Daniel 2:23) (v) אלה אלהין (Elah Elahin), God of gods (Daniel 2:47) (vi) אלה (Elah) Deut. 32:15; 2 Chr. 32:15; Neh. 9:17; Ezr. 5:1, 11; 6:14; 7:12, 19, 21, 23; Dan. 2:18, 23, 28, 37, 44f, 47; 3:15, 28f; 6:8, 13.
When is the Divine Counsel coming out? Yall are a blessing, but I'm hoping that the next video is much longer, thanks though. May God our Father take care of you and your families always in Lord Jesus name Amen.
i see that you guys are presenting the earthly realm as a flat surface enclosed in a dome (firmament) as many biblical flat earthers belive . what is our take on it is the earth flat or a globe from a biblical perspective . neglecting what science has to say
I really appreciate the way you teach without preaching, as an agnostic i find it really interesting to learn about the cosmogony of the religion that i grew in without the pressure. Thank you!
Man, I listened to every minute of the podcasts thrice over, and that "Mom" analogy painted it so clearly. Well done you guys, beautiful work. Thank you.
I love these videos. I younger siblings and I’m careful about what I would show them. But this is biblically sound and is a great interactive way for them to learn. Thanks bible project.
Just listened to the podcast about this 😬 it’s so mind blowing. I love the Bible. There’s soooooo many things that we don’t know and I am so grateful that TBP takes the time to study these things and reveal it to us 😌 thank yoooou 🌸💙
@@IMPACTPodcasterAcademy Yeah. Joseph Prince of dreams didn't do so well. But if they did the story of david (Shepard King)? And jesus (Prince of peace)? It could've went really well.
There is only one true God and I’m not concerned with calling him by different names because I know when I call upon His name, He hears me. And He came into my heart and saved my soul. Our redeemer LIVES!
The word god means someone or something that is worshiped. Anyone or thing that is worshiped is a god, and anything not worshiped is not a god. The terms "true god" and "false god" do not make sense, they are meaningless
Faith Not True at all! Eph 6:11-12 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Different Deities of the Bible are portraying to be God, deceive and mislead humanity. If you don’t know the Truth and many don’t, God sends a strong delusion to the majority so that they’ll believe a Lie because they chose in UN righteousness. John 4:23-24 "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." The Truth shall set you free from what? The Lies! The secrets to the kingdom of Heaven is a Mystery and the makers of these videos have revealed not one! God/Elohim, God/EL, the LORD/Jehovah/Yehovah/Yah/Yahweh, the Most High/Upsistou and The Lord/Adonai are all different Gods or Deities. Without separating them in the Books of the Bible you can never receive the Truth! EL as in EL SHADDAI/God Almighty isn’t the LORD YAHWEH! God/Elohim isn’t the LORD YAHWEH. The Lord/Adonai isn’t the LORD YAHWEH. The Most High in the OT is ELYON meaning another name of God. Not God but another name. The Most High in the New Test is Upsistou and this is God, The Most High God, Supreme God! Mark 5:7 and shouting with a loud voice, he said, "What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!" This is Yeshuas father that he says nobody has ever seen, never seen his shape or form, and nobody has heard his voice at anytime. Throughout the OT prophets and humanity saw and talked to the Elohim, the Lord Adonai, EL as in God Almighty and the LORD YAH/YAHWEH all throughout the OT. This is why very few people Know the Truth and very few People will get to the Kingdom of Heaven. The Majority think they know but are believing Lies. God Bless

Been waiting for this since the first part. Not that I didn't enjoy it. I just wished it was longer. my craving is getting deeper. I guess I'll go watch the first one again or the one about God
Been praying in tongues and it keeps mentioning "Elohim." I looked it up and this video popped up. Just got the gift recently, and it's been such an interesting/fascinating journey!
These videos are absolutely excellent. Y’all are able to break down both simple and confusing concepts and themes of the Bible and explain them in a conversational and accessible way. I’ve got an MDiv and I’m still learning! Very well done. Keep it up.
When you realise your whole life he's been training you, through his messangers nothing will stop our god. Today is just the beginning. Thank you my friends. 😊take heed he has already taught you everything you need to know.
Back then, they were afraid to take the lords name in vain, so there were many different titles describing the same & 1 only God. Thus, all these different titles & translations. They were avoiding a sin, & showing respect.
Psalms 68:4 (KJV) Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. Transliteration: Yahh HalleluYah is a compound Hebrew word meaning “praise Yah”. Last days the prophecy is His Jewels thinking on and talking about. “Then shall those who fear יהוה speak to one another, and יהוה listens and hears, and a book of remembrance be written before Him, of those who fear יהוה, and those who think upon His Name. “And they shall be Mine,” said יהוה of hosts, “on the day that I prepare a treasured possession. And I shall spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him. “Then you shall again see the difference between the righteous and the wrong, between one who serves Elohim and one who does not serve Him.” Mal’aḵi (Malachi) 3:16-18 TS2009 Study our language. A “U” and a “V” where once the same letter, “W” too, as English evolved. It’s untrue to say no one knows it, and typically said for excuse.
Genesis 1.29 Hebrew: God said, "See, I give you every seed-bearing plant that is upon all the earth, and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit; they shall be yours for food. ... These will be food for vou.
Love it! I read Dr. Michael Heiser's book about the Unseen Realm and have been totally fascinated. This really really has helped me make better sense of scripture. Thanks for making this!
This is by far the most specifically correct explanation of a complex category that I've ever heard! And it's so very well done y'all. Thank you for responding to God's call to use your very specific & highly talented gifts!
G.H.ChristoFascist check out Michael Heiser. He’s the one who is consulting them on the spiritual beings series. They’ve also referenced his podcast on theirs and had him on as a guest. He speaks at length about the Nephilim.
They are the offspring of the fallen angels mating with humans. The bible is pretty clear and obvious on that. Also, if the fallen are caged right now, demons must be the spirits of the Nephilim. God didnt create the Nephilim spirits and therefore has no place for them. They wander the earth with no need satisfied. Hence why they are so desperate and insane and hate humans. My last conjecture is educated guessing.
@@brianjauch9958 Well they do, but after the first rebellion/battle, theyve chosen to not have freewill. Theyve chosen for God to choose for them. Its a form of freewill. Humans are in fact doing the same thing as we speak. The fallen angels are a different story. They have pure freewill right now, but they are by-proxy forced to do anything they can to hate and annihilate humans. They have run out of freedom and purpose. You need to read more into it. All the angels, good or bad, have all made their choice through freewill, hence the rebellion. Makes sense doesnt it?
@@dylanmcshane9976 Not all demons are caged. Many are still roaming both the Heavens and the Earth. Also, the Nephilim didn't die and become spirits. We sleep in the grave when we pass away, so the giants would do the same. However the difference may be that Christ will not resurrect the giants when he returns to the Earth. I know what the Nephilim are, and the Bible is pretty clear that they are giants, offspring of fallen angels and humans. However I still wish for Tim and Jon to make a video about them to educate others and even possibly expand on the topic.
This video kept popping up in my recommendations and I’m glad I finally watched it. My mom has been using these terms instead of God and Jesus Christ, and I’ve been worried she pulled those names from false doctrine. Happy to know she’s still referring to God.
I can vouch for the heavenly existing parallel to this world. I had an experience with it one evening. I was just sitting in the garage smoking a cigarette. I wasn't praying or thinking about anything, nothing special. I noticed movement around me and could make out figures that were human. A distinction I knew from a previous experience with angels. It was like both had bodies made from spirit or energy in more modern terms. The people were celebrating with joy as though a feast were going on as they had plates and goblets. It was brief but I'll never forget it. What came to mind was the wedding feast with Jesus though from my perception it was the disciples I was witnessing not Jesus himself.
Exodus 3:14 is the verse where Moses asking God name ; I am that I am . and to fully understand, as to not confuse your current perspective as yourself being God . It's good to read Isaiah 55:8-9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Devils are make believe gods of the nations. Satan is more used as Action, 1 Timothy 1:20 (KJV) Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme. 1 Corinthians 5:5 (KJV) To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
It appears you guys are taking the Michael Heiser/Unseen Realm approach to this. Have you guys thought about doing a more in depth comparison of views on a topic like this? I would also love to see how you guys handle John 10:34/ Psalm 82, and word of faith ministers who hold a "little Gods" doctrine they take from these passages
A king of kings is an emperor. David at one point was a king of kings, because his kingdom of isreal ruled over several other nations. The Emperor of Rome was a king of kings. King of kings like elohim is not a name but a title or classification. It is a person who rules over many other kings. The position of Jesus He is The king of kings. As in, He rules over all kings, not just a few, where someone like David and Solomon only ruled over a few kings.
King of kings comes from the Persian empire. That was the title of the Persian emperor king of kings. The Jews and Christian adopted it for god sometime after Cyrus let the Jews return to Israel and help rebuild the temple.
"I am YAHWEH: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images." - Isaiah/YeshaYah 42:8 And people should know the TRUTH that the True Messiah was never called in his lifetime by the man-made name "Jesus". HE WAS BORN HEBREW, HAVE A HEBREW NAME, LIVE A LIFE OF A HEBREW NAME, DIED ON THE UPRIGHT STAKE A HEBREW NAME, RISEN AND WAS TAKEN UP TO HEAVEN A HEBREW NAME, come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. YAHSHUA IS HIS NAME. LITERALLY YAH = short form of YAHWEH [Psalm 68:4] SHUA = means SAVES / SALVATION "YAHWEH SAVES/SALVATION" "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." - Acts 4:12
Drew first people should learn the truth that there is one God, above all other Gods, and they should love the Lord their God with all thy heart, their soul, their mind, and all their strength. After this, everything else will follow.
@@dutchmcgee101 it's not completely accurate though. When you search deeper, you'll actually see that unfortunately the Greeks altered with the transliteration. They deviated from the transliteration rules when it came go the that particular name in the bible, the suffix 'us' is actually a commonality in Greek which is used to honor Zeus. The early English men actually kept the original name Yahweh but changed it later on. Hence in the bible Yashua says that when he returns many will say that they healed and prophesied in his name, but he will ultimately reject them saying that he never knew them.[Mat. 7:21-23] Some because of their crooked nature of course, but others because they knew the name Yahweh/Yashua but still choose to call him Jesus meaning Hail Zeus. Some would not know, in which we know they will be spared because Elohim looks at the heart. But those who knew but choose to reject will in turn be rejected.
YHWH- Tetragrammaton from the time period you’d spell “beautiful” as “Bewtiful” Go study the history of your own language, double U( VV ) and the letter V both evolving out of the letter U.
Superb animation as always! Love this subject. Perhaps because very few pastors elaborate on spiritual warfare (or maye because it's simply down right interesting). It's such a shame that this subject isn't taught much when it actually helps put a lot of confusing verses into context as well as view the Bible from a cosmic perspective. The subject of "elohim" explains why Samuel's spirit was referred by the witch from Endor as an 'elohim' because after death, Samuel is indeed a spiritual being. If you interpret every "elohim" as God (YHWH) then the Bible becomes contradictory and confusing. Excellent job. Wish it was longer and more in depth, but as an animator myself, I understand the blood and sweat to make each second. Keep up the good fight! Say, is this series influenced by Michael Heiser's book "The Unseen Realm" by any chance? Or did you guys learned this at the same school or something? It sounds similar and both have a background in ancient Hebrew.
I feel the Dr. Heiser's Divine Counsel paradigm has a lot of explanatory power for what we see going on today. It would be cool to see The Bible Project tackle this.
Meshiach is another word that is used for others besides Yeshua (Jesus) as well. And the word angel, does not always refer to a created being with wings, it means messenger and is used to also refer to the prophets.
This creates a whole new understanding of Psalm 82:6, “I say, ‘You are gods (elohim); you are all children of the Most High.’” While we are in no way equal with God, we are spiritual beings created to represent God to the world.
I love your animations, they're so pretty. My dream is to make Christian based stories with both comics and animation, but I'm struggling to find my way on that path.
Creating a likeness of female or male goes against the second commandment. We are not supposed to make any likeness of a person. Exodus 20:4 King James Version (KJV) 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Fear Yahwah, hear Yahwah, learn his laws and commandments. And obey his laws and commandments. Fear, hear, learn and obey! You will get wisdom when you fear Yahwah! Proverbs 1:7 The fear of Yahwah is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 9:10 The fear of Yahwah is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the kodesh (holy) is understanding. Psalm 111:10 The fear of Yahwah is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
@@i_am_a_real_cat1443 , it's part of a joke from other channels. I don't fully understand the joke but it's funny to see different versions of "The first shall be" everywhere
Amen! 🙏🏾Thank you for this!! God bless you all and your whole family! Does anyone want me to pray for them or their family? I would love to do that❤️😊🥰
This makes sense, but from reading the Bible I never really understood if God was the only god or the only true God. Like do other gods actually exist? Or is the Bible simply referring the other gods and beliefs and debunking it as fakes, since only God is the one True God. Makes you wonder, but I guess we'll find out next time.
Hey DanTheMan! Great name my guy. I'm no expert myself, but listening in on the podcasts that led up to the creation of this video, the word "Elohim" which Tim Mackie in the video says is the class 'Spiritual Beings' gets translated in our bibles as "god" a lot of times. It's also used to describe angels, demons, and God (Yahweh). So your confusion is really valid, but what the Bible teaches is there is One supreme God that is incomparable to any other spiritual 'god' (elohim). He alone is LORD, and He alone is creator, savior, and worthy of our worship. Hope this cleared up any questions!
@@daniel_j_kim I know God is the one True God that's for sure, but the way the Bible refers to false gods often make it seem like they actually exist. But what does exist mean? In the sense that people worship it? Or part of the heavenly realm.
@@daniel_j_kim The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the one and only god. Whenever the Bible talks about other gods, it's referring to false idols whom pagan nations worshiped and behind whom demonic forces stand. So the false gods are also spiritual beings, but they are inferior to God since they are also created beings who rebelled against God.
DanTheMan Oh, got you, well in a sense we will never know of the actual existence of other ‘gods’ like Baal, or the Canaanite gods referenced in the Bible, but we get the point. Spiritual beings exist, but if we elevate any of them to the status of ultimate “God” then we rob Yahweh of the glory and title that He is due. So, I guess I’m in the same boat as you brother.
Another interesting theory by is that Elohim meant other gods, as some scholars believe Israel was originally henotheistic (that is believing that other gods exist but worshipp only one god, which for them obviously was Yahweh) but became more monotheistic over time. I am skeptical of this, though. Nevertheless, this was an interesting video.
When you read the Bible it's clear that Israel not only believed in other gods, but worshipped them too. That's why God had to keep giving them laws and prophets to tell them to stop it. What they were supposed to do (10 commandments etc) and what they actually did were completely different.
I greatly appreciate the way you explained Elohim. There is so much to sort out with biblical history (persons, places, events, etc.) that without this type of simplified explanation, all biblical matters can be confusing - especially because most of what we learn first is about Greek history and influence.
Elohim is title for a member of the host. The host is member of the same body bearing the same name. So, family. Revelation 3:12 (KJV) Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my new name.
@@youngknowledgeseeker It does, and I absolutely do love Jesus. He changed my life. My point is that it's just a matter of time until someone comes to the comment section looking for a fight. I don't mind discussing differences with someone if it's a discussion and not a confrontational argument.
Brandon Clapp that being said, though I LOVE BIBLE PROJECT, Jesus is not God but Gods Son, I just want the world to know that just like the apostles did..
Thank the LORD for you guys. I’ve learned so much about the Bible and still am due to the videos you’ve made. I also am currently going through your Bible in a year plan. You helped prepare me to be a witness.

The biblical words that are translated into English as “God/god” are “elohim” (Hebrew) and “theos” (Greek). In the Bible, these words are used to refer to the one God of Israel, the ultimate source and Creator of all reality, including other spiritual beings (see Gen. 1:1; Deut. 6:4). However, these words are also used to refer to other spiritual beings like angels (e.g., Ps. 8:5), the divine council (e.g., Ps. 89:5-8), and the deities worshiped by other nations (e.g., Exod. 12:12; Deut. 4:28; 1 Cor. 8:5-6). Elohim and theos can even refer to the non-physical spirits of the dead (e.g., 1 Sam. 28:13).
When the biblical authors call other spiritual beings “elohim,” they are not expressing a belief that these beings are God. Elohim and theos are category titles that refer to any being inhabiting the spiritual realm that exists parallel to the earthly realm. The one Creator God of Israel is an elohim, but no other elohim is the Creator God. This helps us clarify the often misunderstood concept of monotheism. This word is a fusion of two Greek words mono (one) and theism (god). The modern definition of monotheism is the belief that there is only one God. This is not how the biblical authors use the words elohim and theos. Nowhere in the Bible do they claim that there is only one spiritual being. Rather, they believe that there is one elohim supreme over all other elohim, the Creator of all things, Yahweh.
Subbed, & looking fwd to the continuation of this series!
Can you site a verse that uses Theos as referring to spiritual beings? I understand that Theos can mean God or god but when is Theos used for other spiritual beings?
@@MarkTheMimic theos used in koine bible
Great !!!
Little bit confused right now, so when Jesus referred to psalm 82 “ aren’t you all elohim” he meant that he is also one of these heavenly creatures and not yahweh !
Elohim, god on high!
Can’t you hear your people cry?
Help us now! This dark hour!
And DELIVER US!
HEAR US AND DELIVER US!
These years of slavery have grown too cruel to stand!
my prayer for the bible project team: God please continue to guide the bible project team. please give them the strength, wisdom, and love to continue to make amazing videos and works for expanding Your kingdom. God, please bless them with Your grace and may they not fall into temptation. do not let their hearts be filled with pride and may they rely on You only. may Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. in Jesus' mighty name i pray these things... amen.
No one has dug deeper into this than Dr. Michael Heiser. Extremely illuminating and definitely helps make more sense out of the Old Testament.
This question and answer type narrative is SO useful for clearing our own doubts! Genius.
Gracias bendiciones, que bueno escuchar y ver el mensaje de hoy 😉😉
👍👍👍
Although I Still really enjoy your content, I am missing your biblical references (verses). I love to go back to the Word to read your sources each time i watch your videos. Please, would you add the bible verses refering to your teachings next time you have the opportunity to do so ? May God continue to bless you and keep you in his Spirit and truth.
I was thinking the same thing.
You should check out their podcast. It has a lot of their references. It's on their website .
@@Read_Scripture thank you. I will check on the podcasts on the website. God bless you !
If it sends you to read the bible, thats good, isnt it?
I think they're getting their concepts from Dr. Heiser's research --just like YAHgeel_pitting
said. The basic book is "Supernatural", I suggest everyone interested starts with that one. Then, "The Unseen Realm". Finally, his newest book, "Angels". Of course don't expect it to be 100% biblical: in order to go deeper into the Bible, one has to know about ancient Middle East languages and cultures.
Psalms 82:6 refers to the sons of god or angels as gods.
You guys help me meditate on God and His creation in such a profound way. Thanks for allowing yourselves to be a vessel for His message.

Hello TBP team! I love your elaborate videos that you put out here. Can you also cover what Nephilims are also.
The Bible Project where is the video on the Angel of the Lord please?
In Hebrew I was taught Elohim means Powers. Which translates in english to God of Powers or in English Almighty
@@jeremygjonaj1487 I think Almighty would be Shaddai.
Testimony:
I looked up Elohim because I was looking at a lady's trip to Isreal. When she came to the place where the Angel Gabriel told the 3 Shepherd's that Jesus was born I heard, inside,
ELOHIM! Jesus wanted me to know this word and its understanding. I honestly NEVER KNEW THIS WORD before it was spoke to me. Thank you for this video.

HELP US NOWWWWW
There is only one true God and I’m not concerned with calling him by different names because I know when I call upon His name, He hears me. And He came into my heart and saved my soul. Our redeemer LIVES!
The word god means someone or something that is worshiped. Anyone or thing that is worshiped is a god, and anything not worshiped is not a god. The terms "true god" and "false god" do not make sense, they are meaningless
Faith Not True at all! Eph 6:11-12 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Different Deities of the Bible are portraying to be God, deceive and mislead humanity. If you don’t know the Truth and many don’t, God sends a strong delusion to the majority so that they’ll believe a Lie because they chose in UN righteousness. John 4:23-24 "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." The Truth shall set you free from what? The Lies! The secrets to the kingdom of Heaven is a Mystery and the makers of these videos have revealed not one! God/Elohim, God/EL, the LORD/Jehovah/Yehovah/Yah/Yahweh, the Most High/Upsistou and The Lord/Adonai are all different Gods or Deities. Without separating them in the Books of the Bible you can never receive the Truth! EL as in EL SHADDAI/God Almighty isn’t the LORD YAHWEH! God/Elohim isn’t the LORD YAHWEH. The Lord/Adonai isn’t the LORD YAHWEH. The Most High in the OT is ELYON meaning another name of God. Not God but another name. The Most High in the New Test is Upsistou and this is God, The Most High God, Supreme God! Mark 5:7 and shouting with a loud voice, he said, "What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!" This is Yeshuas father that he says nobody has ever seen, never seen his shape or form, and nobody has heard his voice at anytime. Throughout the OT prophets and humanity saw and talked to the Elohim, the Lord Adonai, EL as in God Almighty and the LORD YAH/YAHWEH all throughout the OT. This is why very few people Know the Truth and very few People will get to the Kingdom of Heaven. The Majority think they know but are believing Lies. God Bless

Been praying in tongues and it keeps mentioning "Elohim." I looked it up and this video popped up. Just got the gift recently, and it's been such an interesting/fascinating journey!
That is awesome news.
These videos are absolutely excellent. Y’all are able to break down both simple and confusing concepts and themes of the Bible and explain them in a conversational and accessible way. I’ve got an MDiv and I’m still learning! Very well done. Keep it up.

Back then, they were afraid to take the lords name in vain, so there were many different titles describing the same & 1 only God. Thus, all these different titles & translations. They were avoiding a sin, & showing respect.
The problem is that we don't even know his true name anymore
@@missk6295 right 😭
Psalms 68:4 (KJV) Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
Transliteration: Yahh
HalleluYah is a compound Hebrew word meaning “praise Yah”. Last days the prophecy is His Jewels thinking on and talking about.
“Then shall those who fear יהוה speak to one another, and יהוה listens and hears, and a book of remembrance be written before Him, of those who fear יהוה, and those who think upon His Name. “And they shall be Mine,” said יהוה of hosts, “on the day that I prepare a treasured possession. And I shall spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him. “Then you shall again see the difference between the righteous and the wrong, between one who serves Elohim and one who does not serve Him.”
Mal’aḵi (Malachi) 3:16-18 TS2009
Study our language. A “U” and a “V” where once the same letter, “W” too, as English evolved. It’s untrue to say no one knows it, and typically said for excuse.

Love it! I read Dr. Michael Heiser's book about the Unseen Realm and have been totally fascinated. This really really has helped me make better sense of scripture. Thanks for making this!
This is by far the most specifically correct explanation of a complex category that I've ever heard! And it's so very well done y'all. Thank you for responding to God's call to use your very specific & highly talented gifts!
Eventually please do a video on the Nephilim. There is a lot of confusion surrounding who they were.
G.H.ChristoFascist check out Michael Heiser. He’s the one who is consulting them on the spiritual beings series. They’ve also referenced his podcast on theirs and had him on as a guest. He speaks at length about the Nephilim.
They are the offspring of the fallen angels mating with humans. The bible is pretty clear and obvious on that. Also, if the fallen are caged right now, demons must be the spirits of the Nephilim. God didnt create the Nephilim spirits and therefore has no place for them. They wander the earth with no need satisfied. Hence why they are so desperate and insane and hate humans. My last conjecture is educated guessing.
@@dylanmcshane9976 Angels have no free will. They are messengers of God.
@@brianjauch9958 Well they do, but after the first rebellion/battle, theyve chosen to not have freewill. Theyve chosen for God to choose for them. Its a form of freewill. Humans are in fact doing the same thing as we speak. The fallen angels are a different story. They have pure freewill right now, but they are by-proxy forced to do anything they can to hate and annihilate humans. They have run out of freedom and purpose. You need to read more into it. All the angels, good or bad, have all made their choice through freewill, hence the rebellion. Makes sense doesnt it?
@@dylanmcshane9976 Not all demons are caged. Many are still roaming both the Heavens and the Earth. Also, the Nephilim didn't die and become spirits. We sleep in the grave when we pass away, so the giants would do the same. However the difference may be that Christ will not resurrect the giants when he returns to the Earth. I know what the Nephilim are, and the Bible is pretty clear that they are giants, offspring of fallen angels and humans. However I still wish for Tim and Jon to make a video about them to educate others and even possibly expand on the topic.
I love the animation style of this series!
This video kept popping up in my recommendations and I’m glad I finally watched it. My mom has been using these terms instead of God and Jesus Christ, and I’ve been worried she pulled those names from false doctrine. Happy to know she’s still referring to God.
I can vouch for the heavenly existing parallel to this world. I had an experience with it one evening. I was just sitting in the garage smoking a cigarette. I wasn't praying or thinking about anything, nothing special. I noticed movement around me and could make out figures that were human. A distinction I knew from a previous experience with angels. It was like both had bodies made from spirit or energy in more modern terms. The people were celebrating with joy as though a feast were going on as they had plates and goblets. It was brief but I'll never forget it. What came to mind was the wedding feast with Jesus though from my perception it was the disciples I was witnessing not Jesus himself.
thank you all so much! I learn A LOT !!! God bless you richly!
Exodus 3:14 is the verse where
Moses asking God name ; I am that I am .
and to fully understand, as to not confuse your current perspective as yourself being God . It's good to read
Isaiah 55:8-9
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Again, you guys don't disappoint.

Everything came from Elohim. Even the Devil works for God’s will.
Devils are make believe gods of the nations.
Satan is more used as Action,
1 Timothy 1:20 (KJV)
Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
1 Corinthians 5:5 (KJV)
To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
It appears you guys are taking the Michael Heiser/Unseen Realm approach to this. Have you guys thought about doing a more in depth comparison of views on a topic like this?
I would also love to see how you guys handle John 10:34/ Psalm 82, and word of faith ministers who hold a "little Gods" doctrine they take from these passages
They had a SUPER long convo on it. Check out their "GOD" podcast
Michael Heiser is in the credits for this series. He also had The bible project guys on his podcast recently.
Does “King of kings” and “Lord of lords” come from the term “Elohim of Elohim” ?
Jonathan Robert yes that’s correct
A king of kings is an emperor. David at one point was a king of kings, because his kingdom of isreal ruled over several other nations. The Emperor of Rome was a king of kings. King of kings like elohim is not a name but a title or classification. It is a person who rules over many other kings. The position of Jesus He is The king of kings. As in, He rules over all kings, not just a few, where someone like David and Solomon only ruled over a few kings.
It's, God of gods. If I'm not mistaken LORD of Lords should be ADONAI of Adonai.
King of kings comes from the Persian empire. That was the title of the Persian emperor king of kings. The Jews and Christian adopted it for god sometime after Cyrus let the Jews return to Israel and help rebuild the temple.
Isn’t the king of kings and lord of lords a lamp according to the bible
Thank You Jesus For Everything😌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm so glad y'all partnered with Michael! His work on the Spiritual Beings needs to be spread in America
"I am YAHWEH: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images."
- Isaiah/YeshaYah 42:8
And people should know the TRUTH that the True Messiah was never called in his lifetime by the man-made name "Jesus".
HE WAS BORN HEBREW, HAVE A HEBREW NAME, LIVE A LIFE OF A HEBREW NAME, DIED ON THE UPRIGHT STAKE A HEBREW NAME, RISEN AND WAS TAKEN UP TO HEAVEN A HEBREW NAME, come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
YAHSHUA IS HIS NAME.
LITERALLY
YAH = short form of YAHWEH [Psalm 68:4]
SHUA = means SAVES / SALVATION
"YAHWEH SAVES/SALVATION"
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
- Acts 4:12
Jesus is a transliteration of Yahshua. That's why He was called Yahshua of Nazareth because it was a common name
Drew first people should learn the truth that there is one God, above all other Gods, and they should love the Lord their God with all thy heart, their soul, their mind, and all their strength. After this, everything else will follow.
@@dutchmcgee101 it's not completely accurate though. When you search deeper, you'll actually see that unfortunately the Greeks altered with the transliteration. They deviated from the transliteration rules when it came go the that particular name in the bible, the suffix 'us' is actually a commonality in Greek which is used to honor Zeus.
The early English men actually kept the original name Yahweh but changed it later on. Hence in the bible Yashua says that when he returns many will say that they healed and prophesied in his name, but he will ultimately reject them saying that he never knew them.[Mat. 7:21-23] Some because of their crooked nature of course, but others because they knew the name Yahweh/Yashua but still choose to call him Jesus meaning Hail Zeus.
Some would not know, in which we know they will be spared because Elohim looks at the heart. But those who knew but choose to reject will in turn be rejected.
Most High's name isn't Yahweh
YHWH- Tetragrammaton from the time period you’d spell “beautiful” as “Bewtiful”
Go study the history of your own language, double U( VV ) and the letter V both evolving out of the letter U.
Superb animation as always! Love this subject. Perhaps because very few pastors elaborate on spiritual warfare (or maye because it's simply down right interesting). It's such a shame that this subject isn't taught much when it actually helps put a lot of confusing verses into context as well as view the Bible from a cosmic perspective. The subject of "elohim" explains why Samuel's spirit was referred by the witch from Endor as an 'elohim' because after death, Samuel is indeed a spiritual being. If you interpret every "elohim" as God (YHWH) then the Bible becomes contradictory and confusing. Excellent job. Wish it was longer and more in depth, but as an animator myself, I understand the blood and sweat to make each second. Keep up the good fight!
Say, is this series influenced by Michael Heiser's book "The Unseen Realm" by any chance? Or did you guys learned this at the same school or something? It sounds similar and both have a background in ancient Hebrew.
So excited for this, I’ve been waiting since you first talked about this in your podcast 😆
I feel the Dr. Heiser's Divine Counsel paradigm has a lot of explanatory power for what we see going on today. It would be cool to see The Bible Project tackle this.
God Bless You! The Lord has blessed you guys to teach more about the WORDS OF GOD !!
You guys are a really inspirational brand. I love to learn about Yahweh and the supernatural world He created, and these videos are awesome!
Noooo why you keep us waiting? haha ya'll are awesome.
Meshiach is another word that is used for others besides Yeshua (Jesus) as well. And the word angel, does not always refer to a created being with wings, it means messenger and is used to also refer to the prophets.
You are almost right, but Messiah or Khristos in Greek (Crist) means the onointed one or chosen one instead, but you are correct in everything else
For those of us who listened to an hour or so about just this word, this video is the perfect, satisfying summary of an awesome conversation
This creates a whole new understanding of Psalm 82:6, “I say, ‘You are gods (elohim); you are all children of the Most High.’” While we are in no way equal with God, we are spiritual beings created to represent God to the world.

Creating a likeness of female or male goes against the second commandment. We are not supposed to make any likeness of a person.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

This makes sense, but from reading the Bible I never really understood if God was the only god or the only true God. Like do other gods actually exist? Or is the Bible simply referring the other gods and beliefs and debunking it as fakes, since only God is the one True God. Makes you wonder, but I guess we'll find out next time.
Hey DanTheMan! Great name my guy. I'm no expert myself, but listening in on the podcasts that led up to the creation of this video, the word "Elohim" which Tim Mackie in the video says is the class 'Spiritual Beings' gets translated in our bibles as "god" a lot of times. It's also used to describe angels, demons, and God (Yahweh). So your confusion is really valid, but what the Bible teaches is there is One supreme God that is incomparable to any other spiritual 'god' (elohim). He alone is LORD, and He alone is creator, savior, and worthy of our worship. Hope this cleared up any questions!
@@daniel_j_kim I know God is the one True God that's for sure, but the way the Bible refers to false gods often make it seem like they actually exist. But what does exist mean? In the sense that people worship it? Or part of the heavenly realm.
@@daniel_j_kim The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the one and only god. Whenever the Bible talks about other gods, it's referring to false idols whom pagan nations worshiped and behind whom demonic forces stand. So the false gods are also spiritual beings, but they are inferior to God since they are also created beings who rebelled against God.
DanTheMan Oh, got you, well in a sense we will never know of the actual existence of other ‘gods’ like Baal, or the Canaanite gods referenced in the Bible, but we get the point. Spiritual beings exist, but if we elevate any of them to the status of ultimate “God” then we rob Yahweh of the glory and title that He is due. So, I guess I’m in the same boat as you brother.
@@daniel_j_kim Yep you summarized it well. Only God deserves that elevated position in the heavenly realm, and that's the only thing that matters!
Another interesting theory by is that Elohim meant other gods, as some scholars believe Israel was originally henotheistic (that is believing that other gods exist but worshipp only one god, which for them obviously was Yahweh) but became more monotheistic over time. I am skeptical of this, though. Nevertheless, this was an interesting video.
When you read the Bible it's clear that Israel not only believed in other gods, but worshipped them too. That's why God had to keep giving them laws and prophets to tell them to stop it. What they were supposed to do (10 commandments etc) and what they actually did were completely different.
@@kirstymca I know.
@@sarsath7481 OK, sorry - I think I misunderstood your comment. That's what comes of replying too hastily.
@@kirstymca
All the "Gods" of the nations are idols but Yahweh made the Heavens and the Earth.
@@michaeldeo5068 Yes, I know. Unfortunately, Israel ignored this fact all too often.
Elohim is plural like when God said let us create man our image is a perfect explanation of elohim ☝☺🤔😅
I am really enjoying the teachings on the Spiritual Beings. God bless you guys.
I greatly appreciate the way you explained Elohim. There is so much to sort out with biblical history (persons, places, events, etc.) that without this type of simplified explanation, all biblical matters can be confusing - especially because most of what we learn first is about Greek history and influence.
That was fast.
Elohim means “gods” or “God with respect “
Elâhìn means "gods" Ēlâha neans "God"
Elohim means "gods",and Elah/Yil(God)
Elohim is title for a member of the host. The host is member of the same body bearing the same name.
So, family.
Revelation 3:12 (KJV) Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my new name.
Oh you, heretical monster!

Lol you right, but truth matters if you love Jesus
@@youngknowledgeseeker It does, and I absolutely do love Jesus. He changed my life. My point is that it's just a matter of time until someone comes to the comment section looking for a fight. I don't mind discussing differences with someone if it's a discussion and not a confrontational argument.
Brandon Clapp that being said, though I LOVE BIBLE PROJECT, Jesus is not God but Gods Son, I just want the world to know that just like the apostles did..

Thank the LORD for you guys. I’ve learned so much about the Bible and still am due to the videos you’ve made. I also am currently going through your Bible in a year plan. You helped prepare me to be a witness.
I'm so glad you guys are covering this topic! The Divine Council is something I've studied for quite some time now.
