I was never the same after learning 3 facts that JESUS knew…but most of us don’t.
You see, even though I’m a pastor, even though I’ve been to seminary, even though I’ve studied the Bible for years, throughout my life there have been a lot of passages in the Bible that I didn’t understand. I’d read them and think: something must be missing.
But then I began to do some research, and I began to realize that once I dove into the context of the Bible, once I started studying things that JESUS knew…but most of us don’t - at least I definitely didn’t - the Bible became so much clearer! Confusing passages suddenly made sense.
And I’m going to share three of those insights with you today on 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.

Chuck Missler said to write anything down from the Bible that we don’t understand, date it. Then, write down when God answers your question.
Have a blessed trip, Pastor Brandon!
I don’t think I seen that one but I may have, that is really good advice.
Best practice.
I heard Chuck saying that and I have started writing on my book and am waiting patiently for God to reveal His Word to me.
Very wise and smart. Tyvm Hugs ❤ 🤗
Im 71years old and have been a student of the Bible most of my life, the more i study it the more amazing it becomes to me, ive started to study the Hebrew alphabet and meanings , I'm a newbie but it has brought so much light to the Word of God and my reverence for the Almighty, if i lived 10 lifetimes i could not even scratch the surface of the Creators Word, my Faith has increased , my love for God's Word has increased too, i cant get enough of this Beautiful book The Bible. God is so Great and Wonderful.
I'M 71 TOO; and I can say pretty much the same thing! AMEN AND AMEN!!!
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but God, Satan, Heaven, hell, demons and angels all violate the laws of physics. In other words, it is all made up.
I'm 71 and from nz , I lived in Israel for 6 mths,in 2006, my husband and I experienced God's provision and keeping, during the Lebanon skirmish, He told me as I stood above the car park , outside The Dung gate, that Israel's treasure was Not in the Wailing wall, but beneath the bus and car park ,Three years later, they began doing archeological digging there, and oh what wonders they are finding since , I'm loving the wonder of it ALL ❤❤❤❤
@angelashort1331 That's absolutely beautiful, and that God speaks to his children, makes joy arise in the heart, Praise God!!!!
Through the Bible with Less Feldick , will change your life . Knowing the differance between under the Law and under Grace . Praise Jesus our Savior
Finally someone who understands this. Context, textual. historical, cultural, geographical all matter. We pull so many verses out of context and attempt to infuse them with meaning when, if we look at them in context, they mean so much more than we could ever impart to them. I have been so hungry for this kind of teaching. Thanks for providing this and helping me not feel so alone in this.
If you were hungry for actual teaching, you'd give up these religious myths, and learn some real facts, instead.
@@judithvallembois2744 Thanks. I'll give it a look. I am getting to the point where as a Christian I see less and less distinction between Old and New Testament. The New expands on and in some cases encapsulates the Old in so many places it's astonishing. Also, I appreciate you taking the time to point me to these resources.
@@gregsaltis1661 Aren't you deluded enough?
You already believe the lies that make up religion.
Why do you want to make it worse.
You'd be better off learning some facts, and maybe have a chance of engaging with reality.
The real world is a far more fascinating and rewarding place, compared to your narrow minded, restricted little fantasy.

Knowing Hebrew can really help with understanding the Bible. I'm in Hebrew 101 right now!! I know I have a long way to go, but I'm SO Thankful that I've taken the Plunge to Start!! Shalom!! 😊
Congratulations for taking the initiative to learn the word of God and to really get to know The King of the Universe, The God of Israel who is the Jewish Messiah in Elohim! Yeshua, there is no other name under heaven, given among men by which we may be saved!

I've lately wondered how much more of the Bible I would understand if I knew the alephbet and their meanings, and the meanings of all the person and place names in it.
A relatively small selection of nouns and graphology are a small portion of a language, but I suspect there is enough there to really expand the context.
Knowing Hebrew really opens up the Bible.
And once you learn the “slang” words, there is a lot of humour in the Bible.
A lot has been “sanitized”, but if you speak like the locals do a lot of these verses bring a giggle when you realize what was originally said 😆
The Septuagint was in Greek, later translated into Hebrew.
@@yindao2830 Septuagint

One thing I have learned from reading the Bible is if it seems odd it is probably important and deserves some attention.
.. you need to understand Christian requirements - Mark 13:10 and Matthew 24:14
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.
@@JDAfrica .. for sure you don't know what that means or even the context in which it should be understood.
Note Amos 3:7
Only Noah was given advance warning of 'things yet to come' and God gave him a preaching assignment - similarly today, true Christians follow Jesus' command to preach and make disciples. - Matthew 28:19 & 20

Matthew 24:14
There is only one Christian organization that is fulfilling Jesus' words on a global scale by following the pattern set by the early Christian congregations - Romans 10:10 & Acts 20:20
Only few are on the narrow path that leads to life - Matthew 7:13 & 14
@@JDAfrica FYI - the preaching work does not conceal anything - the truth about the kingdom is veiled only among the unbelievers who are in spiritual darkness. - 2 Corinthians 4:4

That's not true
(Joel 2:27)
Wow, that was informative. Something I heard another Pastor mention.
What the Romans were collecting wasn’t just taxes, it was “Tribute” which is what Conquered people pay to their Conquers(Masters).
In America, our founding fathers were aware of this problem of two masters which is why our Constitution created a “servant government” so that people would have only “One Master”.
Of course sadly things have changed since 1791.
It changed when property tax was intruduced (this includes income tax). When you assume authority over what someone owns or produces, you assume authority over the person.
People who are thusly owned are called by a name and it is not 'tax payer'.
Sorry about my ignorance, but what happened in 1791?
1791, US Constitution followed by Bill of Rights 2 years later. It’s a time period.
The Monarchies of Europe operated under the premise that Kings were sovereigns, that they were answerable only to God and that the people were their “subjects(not Free)”.
The people were riled by the King.
After the American Revolution, the founding fathers turned that upside down.
Rather than being ruled by government, the American people would self rule and the government was given the privilege to serve from the consent of the governed.
Since the American people were now there own Masters, that eliminated the problem of which master to serve.
God or Caesar(Government)
CEOs of our financial institutions and transnational corporations have become the new masters,
See Deuteronomy 28
The part concerning the pigs and the 10th Roman Legion - woah! I originally thought it was just collateral damage and this, the pigs, are what's available - never thought that it had an even deeper meaning!
I had Latin as a subject and we learned a lot about the Romans...this resonated a lot!
Thank you
M first to comment here in South Africa...May God's favour and Mercy locate every one 🙏
I have been DEEP DIVING into the Bible for the last 12 years.
I Barley know the SNOWFLAKE on the TIP of the ICEBERG that is Biblical knowledge, but what I do know I have discovered not many Christians don't have a CLUE about.
WE ALL need to dive deep into the WORD it is a NEVER ending treasure!
Thank you Brandon for sharing your Biblical wisdom and teaching!! I learn so much!! It makes understanding the Scriptures so much easier when the context is explained!! May God continue to bless you, your family & ministry!!😍😍😍😍
Pastor Robbins one of the things in the bible that we modern humans do not understand at all is hospitality. A custom so well understood in biblical times that God did need to teach us. This is what is often missed in the story of Lot. The loss of hospitality for desert people is disastrous.
Lack of knowledge of the Hebrew customs is a big reason for not understanding His parables.
No, lack of knowledge of Hebrew customs is not the reason for not understanding the parables. Neither Jesus nor any of the New Testament writers ever encourage us to study first century Hebrew or Jewish customs. We fail to understand the parables because we lack *wisdom*
James 1:5 -- If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
Matthew 7:24 -- Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a *wise* man who built his house on the rock.
we don't gain wisdom by studying ancient customs, wisdom comes only from God.
Proverbs 2:6 -- The Lord is the source of wisdom; knowledge and understanding come from his mouth.
@@Avendale Are you saying understanding the culture and the world Jesus was in at the time does not help? I know God reveals knowledge and the disciples were there and did not understand many of the parables but going in blind is a total handicap knowing details of the time helps a lot to understand a world and time we are far removed from in this modern time.
@@Avendale if you read my text I said the customs were the big reason not THE reason for not understanding the Parables. I recommend you finding on YT a bible scholar/pastor called Ken Bailey. He was grown up around the Middle East. His traditional insights to the Parables in Luke will surprise pleasantly you. Blessings.
@@lance9249 I didn't say it doesn't help, what I said was lack of knowledge of ancient customs is not why we, or anyone else, doesn't understand the parables. The parables are all speaking of the same thing, Jesus says if we can understand one parable we will understand them all.
Mark 4:13 -- Then Jesus said to them, “If you can’t understand the meaning of this parable, how will you understand all the other parables?"
There's nothing wrong with understanding first century culture and traditions, but it has very little, if any value towards our spiritual understanding. The Scribes, Sadducees and Pharisees were all very knowledgeable with the Jewish customs and laws of that time, but they were still spiritually blind and Jesus constantly rebuked and chastised them.
Customs and culture are nothing but the "traditions and commandments of men" and how does Jesus feel about those customs, cultures and traditions?
Mark 7:7−9 -- In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.
And he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition"
@@MSHOOD123 No thanks, the Holy Spirit is a much better teacher than any scholar or pastor on TH-cam.
What a blessing to visit the Holy Land. Have a wonderful trip. 🙏💖🇦🇺
I’m a pastor too. I trained as an archaeologist but I currently tend to about 250 sheep and 100 goats on the uplands of Doris and neighbouring Parnassus near the Oracle of Apollo at Delphi. Good analysis of this passage: I think you’re spot on here.
You do what? Tend sheep near Delphi?
@@Andy-lm2zp - Yessir.
There is nothing in the Mark 12 passage that says a priest had the denarius in his pocket. He asked them to bring Him a denarius to look at, and they brought one. Nothing about the source of it. Certainly not that it was in a priest’s pocket. The main key to understanding this is the word “image”. That part of this video is correct, but we don’t need to add things that aren’t there to make our teaching more interesting. 🙏
Thank you Brandon for sharing these insights. Understanding our precious Savior is truly a blessing from above and you are His instrument helping to do that.
The Bible says only 144k Jewish people are going to heaven so if you are not Jewish, you have no chance.
The Torah idioms teaching here reminds of of a book called: UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFICULT WORDS OF JESUS by
David Bivin and Roy Blizzard. ❤️👍🏽👍🏽
I’m currently learning about how Herod the usurper, appointed his own high priest and how God saved the true priesthood of Zachariah (and John the Baptist), eventually appointing His high priest, Jesus Christ! I never realized how God preserved the line of Aaron and the priesthood, to make sure the rightful heir was appointed our high priest!
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.” (Luke 1:5)
This explains some of the verses I didn’t understand, like John 10:1. "Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.
The Pharisees weren’t the true temple priests! They paid, blackmailed and schemed their way into the temple duties!!
So basically modern day "experts" and politicians.
@@SlayingSin
No basically yt people
@@SlayingSin that’s exactly what I thought!
@@Isaiah--ln2md white people aren't Pharisees lol. Majority of them are just as disadvantaged and hurti ng like everyone else. The elites are the ones who are anti God.
Don't confuse the Levite tribe of John Baptist with the Judean tribe of his cousin Christ Jesus. If you make Jesus into a Levite instead of a Judean, then you take away the fulfilment of prophecy that the messiah would be of the tribe of Judah, descendent from David. Recognise also that Jesus as high priest is priest in the greater Melchizedekan Order and not in the lesser Aaronic Order. Read Hebrews chapter 7.
One of my favorites where God's Word Explains itself: Rev 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out...(Go No More Out?)... ( In the Heavenly City) Rev 21: 22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. (That's Exactly what I Want!)
Thank you, Brandon. This is what I love about the Bible, it is replete with so much richness and depth. You make this come alive! May God grant you increase.
My favorite thing about the Bible is the talking snake 🐍 and donkey 🐴
Also 1 Samuel 15:3 it really shows gods unconditional love 💕:)
Thank you, Brandon, for opening my eys...I just read the entire book of Mark in the last two days. You have brought my reading to life.

Really? In God's image of men and women we were created? But Jesus said not to trust that image. "Judge not by appearance but judge by righteous judgement."
Are we spirit or bodies? You decide. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. "
@@robertdouglas8895 huh? What are you going on about ?
@@bariettaperez Are you a body with a brain that determines your life or spirit that does?
@@robertdouglas8895 what are you going on about ? Maybe you responded to the wrong comment
@@bariettaperez If you believe in the Old Testament as was quoted here in this video. you believe that we are created in the image of God and that image is divided into men and women. Jesus said that God is in heaven, not of earth and that we are spirit not bodies. He came to correct the false ideas of the Old Testament.
Very good- so many teach this wrong! This is the first time I have heard this as I understand it. Thank you.

Great channel man! Can’t get enough of what you’re laying down.
As someone who doesn’t consider myself a Christian but not necessarily a nonbeliever, your information and delivery is top notch.
Plenty of ways to prove God is real. Seek and you'll find it. I've been down that path for the past 2 years and now I can't ignore God's existence. It's over whelming. I pray you find Jesus Christ and your life made whole. God bless.
Imagine what the odds must be against two objects, hurtling through the vastness of space, having the necessary trajectory, mass, and velocity to find each other and settle into a stable orbit.
Now multiply thise odds by the number of objects in the observable universe, because everything we see seems to stably and reliably orbit everything else.
In order to organize and maintain such grand and exquisite balance, it must certainly require tremendous power and intellect.
The universe itself is evidence.

Right on. Learning about the land, the culture and the language of the Bible brings it into technicolor focus! Thanks.
Do you realize that Technicolour first of all IS NOT A FOCUS
Secondly... do you Realize that Techni colour by today's standards IS A SHIT RESOLUTION and a primitive form of producing colour ?
so.. You are correct, this brings everything into Technicolour (not 16K UHD By comparison)
See what happens when christians don't think and talk about things they don't understand,
I remember Technicolour coming in at 1976

Another wow teaching! Thank you so much Pastor for these rich insights into the scriptures! 🙌 God bless you, your family and ministry. 🙏🏾
Along with your broadcasts, I have enjoyed Grafted, as they intimately know The Jewish context of the first century.

Yes, you're 100% correct about all those idioms and use of non-literal expressions in ancient hebrew. Another thing you can add to your list, is some knowledge of Halacha - practiced law. For example, laws of divorce, purity, use of stoneware, laws of vows in relation to parents, and the sabbath.
Yes the law that wasn't made by God, but made by man. And Jesus points out that this often goes AGAINST God's law, and God's purpose for his people. So sad that Jews today don't know the difference between God's law and their own rules. (I grew up Jewish and my family has no clue)
Thanks for sharing these insightful comments, Brando. You do a great job of bringing clarity and meaning to the text.

Hey, Tudor. Here is a list of some of the books I have found helpful:
www.amazon.com/shop/brandonrobbins/list/3T90NQI5DL8J
I love this Channel, it's so Wonderful to learn facts that help me to better understand Scripture!!
I think it was in his study on the nature of God, the topic of omniscience, Chuck Missler brought up Isaiah 46:10(Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done…) and pointed out that if God knew EVERYTHING that was going to happen before he spoke the universe into existence, that means he knew everything each of us would do. Let that sit a minute: He. Knew. EVERYTHING we would do. That means that nothing we do surprises him, and NOTHING WE DO disappoints him. This is the Bible verse that actually changed my life, because when I absorbed what he was saying I realized that the God I’d been taught in church was always angry and upset with me because I had sinful thoughts or did sinful things wasn’t the God who knew everything from the beginning.
God knew before creation the things I would think and do-and he made provision from the beginning (Rev. 13:8-the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world-God intended from the very start to send his son to die for us). My sins were known and forgiven before the universe even existed. Take that in. THAT is FREEDOM. That is life-changing liberty. We can surprise and disappoint ourselves, but not God. Never God. He was ready for our worst, and he forgave us before we ever sinned.
Fabulous. Have downloaded the book.
Thank you for your explanation. We read the bible with the knowledge and habitats we have and often forget the things that are common than or still are in a specific country or situation. This is not only by interpretation the Bible but also by hearing the stories of ‘strangers’ or foreigners. When I was a student I had an internship abroad. We visit a pastor and asked things we acknowledge during the service, things of common use. The pastor had tho think as well and was pleased that we asked the questions, so he could think why they do it the way they do. An other story explained was the camel through the eye of the needle. When we see it as sewing material it would always impossible, but the needle seem to be one of the gates in the city wall. A very low gate and a camel was only able to go through it without his bagage and kneeled. So the passage isn’t as impossible as we think, every camel can make the passage if his owner onload his bagage, make the camel kneel and in the city put the bagage back on the camel.
I never knew this. Thank you!
Wow I never knew that. Thank you for explaining that paragraph
Wow. That passage about the eyes FINALLY makes sense!
Thank you so much!

1.) Humble ourselves before almighty God
2.) Pray and Seek God’s face
3.) Turn from our wicked ways.

Jewish custom understood reinforces the Gospel so much more and reveals so much more of Christ throughout the old testament. Like one small example; the Jewish wedding preparation being a reflection of Jesus leaving, preparing a place at his fathers house, the bride waiting for his return and him coming for his bride at the rapture.
Amazing video! Context is everything! You would make a great Preterist!
If you like this video, take care. The legion in question wasn't the tenth. It was a legion of demons who asked permission to enter the swine. The possessed pigs then ran into the sea. Additionally Proverbs isn't in the Torah. The Torah is composed of the five Books of Moses. We must all be Bereans & diligently search the scriptures.
Yes, these are significant errors...
I enjoy your teachings thank you for helping me dig deeper into biblical history!!!💕💕🐝

Thank you! I really enjoy your videos. Your delivery is very inspiring and interesting. God continue to use you and bless you.
The demons asked for permission to enter the "boars" and made the suggestion to leave by running off of the cliff. Jesus granted them their wish. Yes, context matters, but also attention to detail of what is written. This was not meant to be a political statement by Jesus.
I noticed that as well. Jesus didn't cast the pigs into the sea. He didn't even speak to them.
Should we willingly be subject to a corrupt and depraved government? Or should we take a stand?
I think Jesus was very clear on this point. He wants you to stand still and bend over.
Just look at what Christ did. Because the government of his day was very corrupt. Christ focused on serving and loving those around him, not fighting the government…
Governments should not be led by corrupt and delusional churches.
We must take a stand against corruption, lies, unjustice........ of corse by starting in our family, neighborhood, working place and also in our government.
Nice work, Pastor. I study a fair amount of Bible for a lay person, but you taught me something new and awesome. Shabbat Shalom.
Thank you for sharing your insight
Jesus did not cast the pigs off the cliff. The demons asked Him to send them into the pigs and the demons caused the pigs to go over the cliff.
Yes!!
As a curiosity: What's the font you use for the scripture verses? It's pleasingly clean and easy to ready.
Thanks for the insights that I missed, excellent points indeed! ♥
I was accepted to a seminar years ago but decided to turn it down. I felt that I was more a mercenary than missionary. In combat or protecting human life I wouldn't blink and eye if I had to take a life to save a life. I enlisted into the military soon after and made fire and rescue a profession. I am said to be much like the Apostle Paul. I continue to bring others to Christ one person at a time over time. Not more than few dozen total.
I think I may have found another great YT channel. You're making a lot of sense.
A lot of this is great stuff, especially when there is clearly something we're missing. I think the one about the boar is reaching tho. I'm actually more in favor of taking the simplest reading of a passage that fits with existing scripture than trying to read into the scripture some understanding based on some extra biblical fact. And the reason is that even for people alive literally today, even for people we know personally, those kinds of assumptions are fraught with inaccuracy. "Were you thinking of this when you said/did this?" "Nope I was just hungry". Literally spouses that know each other for decades have these kinds of misunderstandings, talkless of trying to assume Jesus was trying to make a statement about Romans when the demons asked hin if they could go into the pigs. As if we know if they'd asked him to go into a school of catfish he would say "no, that Roman legions mascot isn't a catfish"
The Bible says that the pigs ask Jesus if they could go into the pigs... And then the demons went into the pigs and the pigs ran off the cliff, seemingly driven mad by having the demons enter them. I'm not sure how that would constitute Jesus casting the pigs off the cliff? 🤔 I would love to hear pastor Brandon expound upon this point.
- The Gospel was originally one book, written by Lazarus in consultation with the Apostles [John 21:24] and published soon after Jesus left them on their own.
The religion was hijacked by Rome, the Gospel was broken up scrambled adulterated into a bunch of competing narratives.
Later four of those adulterated gospels were canonized with falsely ascribed authorship and a Gnosticism cover-story.
It was the finding of an original Gospel of Jesus scroll in Jerusalem that gained the Knights Templar power over the Church and their eventual undoing when the church finally retaliated against them Friday 13th.
@@termination9353 there is literally zero direct evidence for anything you wrote here. Anyone can posit a story about what happened somewhere they weren't. Thats basically any conspiracy theory. The earth is flat, everyone with access to the information is just lying about it. The moon landing was fake. On and on. Unfortunately for yall, these conspiracies are generally so complex that if one actually thinks of the specific logistics and luck needed to pull them off and not have anyone know about them, they're frankly more unlikely to be true than what we currently hold true based on the actual evidence. So you can believe whatever you want. The rest of us will wait on evidence and actual plausibility
Blessings,
Thank you so much for your videos. Your videos and book recommendations are fantastic resources!
Thank you Pastor for this amazing video PRAISE GOD HALLELUJAH! MEET THE LORD GOD BLESS YOU WITH AN AMAZING LIFE AND MINISTRY IN THE NAME OF JESUS AMEN AMEN AND AMEN.
My sheep hear my voice, I know them, they follow me…
Love these videos. This is such a blessing. Context does truly change everything.
Thanks so !such for your teachings, I've learned so Much from you.
So awesome that you have deciphered these bible verses. God bless you brother.
Similar To Ha Lishon Tovah(Good Tongue) and Ha Lishon Ha'Rah...(Bad Tongue).
Brandon, how do you feel about keeping the Sabbath on Saturday, following the commandments of clean and unclean food and keeping the three feasts. This is a serious question, not one at all to create debate. Thank yoh
I'm not Brandon, but Paul answers all of those questions very clearly in his books. Basically, none of those things matter any longer except keeping the sabbath set aside, whichever day one chooses. Jesus answered the question about food as well and about keeping the sabbath. So far as keeping the feasts, that's purely up to each person. Keeping feasts, the sabbath, or rules about food has nothing to do with salvation. Jesus interactions with the Pharisees made that very clear .
With respect
@@jerrodlopes186 Your completely wrong on "keeping the sabbath set aside, whichever day one chooses" God sabbath does not change "remember the sabbath day to keep it holy" it's not "forget the sabbath day its whenever you want" let's remember the sabbath let's not pretend we can change something that God set in place for us he knows best.
There isn’t a Sabbath for the church age. We worship on the Lord’s Day. The Pauline Epistles for the church explain it as was said in a previous comment.
@@doug3805 GOD'S commandments are eternal for all ages.
Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.
( 1 John 2:6 )
@@jerrodlopes186 I'm sorry but that's not what Paul teaches let alone JESUS CHRIST
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome, ( 1 John 5:3 )
Thank you and God bless
