1 - Methodological Framework
I would like to now elusidate our proposed methodological framework to biblical exegesis
Our first goal is to minimize interpretative bias by adhering closely to the morphosyntactic and lexical features of the source texts, taking also into consideration period cultural dynamics, thereby producing a sequence of events that aspires to maximal fidelity.
Following the same patterns as all other episodes of this series, we will be emphasizing rigorous philological and hermeneutical dimensions, comprehensive linguistic analysis and exegetical examination of biblical pericopes, focusing on interlinear renditions of the source texts in their original languages.
This methodology aims to produce an unbiased and maximally literal translation through a meticulous process of comparative linguistics and textual criticism.
Textual criticism: Analyzing various manuscript traditions to establish the most reliable base text.
Morphological analysis:
Lexicographical research: Investigating the semantic range and diachronic development of key terms.
Syntactical parsing:
Discourse analysis: Evaluating the broader linguistic context and rhetorical structures.
Comparative Semitics: Utilizing cognate languages to elucidate obscure or hapax legomena terms.
Diachronic linguistics: Considering the historical development of the source language(s) to accurately reflect temporal linguistic variations.
applying the full scope of translation theory: on the basis of principles of formal equivalence to prioritize source-oriented renderings.
The event proper is found in Genesis 18 and 19.
However numerous references are made to Sodom in the following passages, both in the old testament.
Genesis 10:19; 13:10, 12, 13, and in G enesis 14, as well as twice in the Book of Deuteronomy (Dt 29:22; 32:32) and once in the Book of Lamentations (Lm 4:6). But the Sodom motif occurs most of all in the prophetic literature (Is 1:9, 10; 3:9; 13:19; Jr 23:14; 49:18; 50:40; Ezk 16:44-58; Hs 11:8; Am 4:11; Zph 2:9).
Likewise Sodom is also found in many other Jewish texts (the Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, Philo of Alexandria and Flavius Josephus), as well as in early Christian writings like the New Testament and several Fathers.
It is evident that all biblical authors were familiar with the event and regarded it as significant.
That includes Jesus Himself bytheway as we will see in the latter part of this video, also because His words on this are actually very telling.
#sodom #gomorrah #bible
In general terms this is a story of civilization collapse presented as a specific sequence of events of catastrophic proportions. It is also not a story of 2 cities but of 5. And possibly more.
Normally when we think of this account we focus on the two most famous or should I say infamous cities, Sodom and Gomorrah, but let's widen our perspective for a moment.
The cities of the valley were five. Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Zoar. However Zoar is often not included in the list, that is because Zoar was spared. Genesis 19:19-22, 25, 29 Lot, Abraham's nephew pleaded with the angels to not destroy the town, and the angels agreed.
Now let's begin utilizing source and redaction criticism to delineate potential textual strata.

@@rayneweber5904yet it is relevant. You ignore the culture that formed your ability to say that in the act, whereas no other nation outside of europe bothers to think that way. Not really. You ignore the temperament that comes innately within your dna. This is demonstrable across all creatures in the animal kingdom. Specifically mammals in particular. What you espouse is conditioning rendered by postmodernism. An abstract of relativism like your notion displays your passive willingness to obliterate all logical constraints arbitrarily for the sake of a moral argument. None of which comports with reality. Its an expression of what you think should be rather, and is again a proposition that no other nation tribe or culture outside of europe adopts. Relativism is brain rot.

Lot and his family were 'just', but afterwards they went astray, they were influenced by the city they lived in. You get corrupted by your surrounding, so the lesson is don't hangout with the wrong people, but surround yourself with good people.
I think there’s many many many lessons. Just like every biblical story, they’re endless in teachings.
"Why callest me good? There is none good, save God." ~ Jesus
@@Lleanlleawrg So, what did Lot do to be obliterated? He was assaulted by his sick daughters. But explain what really happened over there, you seems to have the answer. Can I get a coffee first?
@@TinusTegenlicht Well, Lot never existed. It's a story.
But there were towns near the dead sea that were obliterated by some kind of tunguska-esque event, according to modern archaeology.
Likely that was attributed to divine wrath by primitive societies like this, who invented a morality tale about it.
In this culture, apparently it was morally good to offer your daughters up to be gang raped by a mob instead of them doing it to strangers.
This makes sense given that the ancient Jewish culture that made the tale clearly saw women as property on par with a cow or a piece of furniture.
In the story Lot's wife looked back at the destruction and was turned into a pillar of salt. Clearly not real, but likely inspired by the vaguely human-shaped salt formations in the area, and fits well with a mythical trope we also see in the orpheus and eurydice story from greek mythology. It's not identical but similar.
So anyway, Lot's daughters in the story do get their dad drunk and rape him. Not that two wrongs make a right, but in the time of 'eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth' which was Jewish law at the time, he got off easy.
Sorry, the archeological evidence leaves no room for a " natural" event.
Gosh, this is fascinating. I’m so glad people like you exist and share their passions online.
I'm 70 years old. Jjust in my lifetime I can think of several very destructive natural calamities, earthquakes, tidal waves, volcanic eruptions, killer lakes releasing deadly gasses, and some remarkable meteor events. When I was in school, catastrophic events were often downplayed as rare...I don't think they are that rare. And let's not forget a few man-made disasters like Bhopal, India and various dam failures.
@@Toxicpoolofreekingmascul-lj4yd I've always thought that the sonic booms and explosions that some people were reporting some years back on the east coast of North America were meteors entering the atmosphere.
Before the Renaissance catastrophism was the most popular view of the world. Things happen drastically and quickly. With the Renaissance and the birth of "The Science" there was a massive push towards progressivism, or the idea that everything happens very gradually and in a linear fashion.
I agree. Destructions and disasters are not as remote from each other as we think.
Reality is far different than we're taught in school.
They're very rare, geologically.
It’s so awesome to have a content creator that doesn’t treat science and Christianity as incompatible.
Exactly, science well real science actually supports religion.
Catholicism, which he was raised in I believe, is not as hostile to Science as those with agendas would have you believe.
@@lordzodiak1575 Not really, but they are not fundamentally opposed.
You really don't get it--he's telling us that the story in question is stolen from nearby civilizations, and definitely not saying that a god existed. I'm certain he's no believer. For one thing, he's an intelligent, rational man. That leaves religion out. He's knowledgeable about religion, sure, but so am I, and I've been an atheist my whole life.
Xianity and science are most definitely not compatible. I've been familiar with the efforts to make them fit since the early 70s, when the church my family attended had pamphlets on the subject hanging on the wall next to the library door. Believers are always so pathetic.
Because they aren't.
As a child of the Cold War era, while I'm not arguing for the radioactive skeletons I do recall what we used to call a neutron bomb... or a small nuke that gave off lots of radiation which was meant to kill people but leave buildings standing. It killed beyond the area where any effects of the explosion itself would be seen.

Around the 25 minute mark.. "I:36 to the 5th he spoke: "Blow like the wind and scrutinize the circumference of the world""
They knew the planet was round. :)
A frisbee is round... A clock is round. A wheel is round. A dinner plate is round.. They all have a circumference too.
That particular one is interesting in comparison to the story of Job. The Adversary who commands the wind and roams the earth.
I'm only a few seconds in, but I am excited! This series is one of my favourites of yours. I am someone who struggles with my own faith, but who absolutely loves biblical history, and seeing how the narratives have been altered so much over the years from things as simple as a word or two being mistranslated, or things not being viewed through a lens contemporary to the writings. I'm sure this will be another great watch, and, as always, I'm excited to get into it!.

My girlfriend has an old scholarly book, wish I could remember the name, that discussed the Dead Sea as the likely location. It referenced old historical mentions of the sea that indicated it was much more noxious and dangerous thousands of years ago than it is today. One mention I remember was from a Greek who recounted seeing a bird fly over and fall dead halfway due to the fumes. The Dead Sea also has "salt" pillars on its shores.
Joesphus -The Jewish Book of War,book 4,end of chapter 8 ?
Pliny also wrote about this.
Used as an adjective, fire-and-brimstone often refers to a style of Christian preaching that uses vivid descriptions of judgment and eternal damnation to encourage repentance especially popular during historical periods of Great Awakening.[3]
Archeologist think they found the site at Tall el-Hammam. The town was destroyed by a meteor.
I love the way Sodom and Gomorra was portrayed in the 1966 epic "The Bible". Despite the lack of explicit content due to pc of the time, you can tell it's is a place full of completely messed up people
All the Hollywood film studios are owned by the same people who wrote 'the Bible'.

I've seen all of this before (not for this text specifically) using other cultures to verify the Biblical accounts.

A *neutron bomb* , officially defined as a type of enhanced radiation weapon (ERW), is a low-yield thermonuclear weapon designed to maximize lethal neutron radiation in the immediate vicinity of the blast while minimizing the physical power of the blast itself. (Wikipedia)
Was looking for this comment.
Now we KNOW what got that Indus Valley City ... which i somehow to remember to be in Civ 6 (5?) as a City State. 🤪
You missed the part where the skeletons being radioactive was revealed to be an hoax?
Even if it wasn't a hoax, 22 radioactive mofos in city of over 50,000 is a sign they died in a small scale event. With no sign of either trauma or stress, drowning, poisoning, or strangulation are the most likely causes of death. If the radiation did exist, it was likely due to isotopic exposure, with perhaps some radioactive salt contaminating their food or drink. But again the evidence of the bones being radioactive seems to be non-existent.
Odd.
Wikipedia is the least reliable source we have around for any subject. If you engage in editing articles you'll see many, many discussions on how to combat the never ending spread of incorrect information (and that's not even in the political or sociological fronts).
You can look up any Physics Dept of top, credible universities around NA and Europe. Plenty of superb articles on nuclear Physics and nuclear weapons, some very high level, others very in-depth.
Wikipedia is only good for scientific topics tho

Excavation of Tall el-Hammam reveals a heat event, carbon dated to 3700 BCE. Pottery turned to glass. It was estimated to be larger than the Tunguska air burst.
Yeah I remember hearing about that a while back and was hoping it would come up in this video, regardless of whether it ended up for or against the argument that el-Hamman was the location of Sodom/Gommorrah. I was a bit disappointed it wasn’t mentioned (unless I missed something).
Pottery wouldn't turn to glass, sand would turn to glass. is this the same event, the meteorite that skimmed the area and did devastating damage to areas in Europe before ending up knocking off the top of one of the mountains in the Alps?
@@benjalucian1515 I think OP meant to say the pottery became “glazed” on one side (think porcelain/ceramics), which was what was found at the site. This was odd because
A): only one side getting glazed doesn’t seem intentional and is consistent with a super hot heat source radiating from a single point.
B) Glazing was invented in 1500BC according to Wikipedia (trust at your own discretion), centuries after the dig site was dated as.
@@zobblewobble1770 Sounds like a very bad fire or meteorite.
@@benjalucian1515 - I have never seen a display of pottery turned glass. And glass is seen at nucleared site of sand. No such display of artifact.
Note that prior to Ben Franklin's famous kite experiment, the phenomena of "lightning" was considered a type of Fire. Light, lighting, aurora, meteors were all considered a type of Fire. See "Meteorologica" by Aristole.
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
Sorry. I just really, really, really felt like I had to say that at this moment.

There were two videos from Expedition Bible where the host, Joel, investigates the area around the Dead Sea for any remains of those cities. One video shows the finding of sulfur deposits which weren't found on the surface ground, rather, in the water. He even uses a lighter to see if they ignite in a way that sulfur would. In the other video, Joel examines sites which show a layer of ash among former cities, but no signs of rebuilding. This was found at four sites, with one that did not show any ash.
He also discusses how one site, Hammam (if spelled correctly), to the north of the Dead Sea was suspected, but it shows that there has been numerous rebuilding, whereas Sodom & the others, apart from where Lot fled, were not rebuilt nor lived on.
i was going to bring up same video from Expedition Bible.
I mentioned that as well.
His video also debunks the location that Ron Wyatt and many others have made videos of, and millions have watched on TH-cam. Showing that what they claimed to be the "ashen remains" of building structures, are actually just the ancient sea bed. Which explains why you're able to still find the sulfer that didn't completely burn up.
Yesss! I love Expedition Bible. That channel is awesome❤
Thank you so much Metatron! I was waiting so long for this!!
The most profound thing that stuck out to me is how the LORD is depicted as a person with a human-like form, and how the scriptures say that *"the LORD* rained brimstone and fire on Soddom and Gomorrah, *from the LORD* out of the heavens". (Genesis 19:24)
One of many instances in which the plurality of the LORD (YHVH) is shown in the Old Testament, for those who criticize the concept of the Trinity (Tri-unity).
Thank you so much for these analyses! There are many things in the Bible that either make no sense or are misconstrued because we don’t have the mindsets of its subjects and original hearers / readers. Ancient Eastern cultures, languages, and histories provide major context that we can miss. Because some Bible stories are so familiar to us, I think we forget that we aren’t steeped in the cosmology that is such a big part of many Biblical stories. It can make us close the Book because we are horrified, bored, or confused, which is a shame.
As Metatron says, you have to discard modern thought and search for the times and situations those people lived in. For example, why was pork forbidden? A reasonable explanation is trichinosis. That's a really horrible disease that leaves permanent damage. Look it up, please.
I saw an excellent documentary that showed that the conditions left behind by each of the plagues set up perfect conditions to start the next one scientifically.
@@CrispyCircuitsThat's true if you want to analyze the Bible as a historical document the issue comes from when someone believes on it and follows it as a religion and since the "Laws of God" doesn't change, they need to apply the moralities show in these texts as never changing values and also justify some of God's more dubious actions.
@@renren47618Yeah, morality doesn't change. It's objective. That's been a pretty basic principle for all of Western Civ.
@@CrispyCircuitsThere's also the "separation" component. Remaining sacred and separate from the Gentiles (including thru circumcision), was a big part of Pre-Christ Christianity. The whole "covenant with God" thing. It's also useful for developing a culture. Lots of reasons for it.
But seriously, thank God for Peter's dreams! 😆😅
@@renren47618Correct me if I am wrong in my understanding of your comment.
The way I read it you're saying the issue is when people who study the Bible as a historical account forget to apply the moral teachings in it to the events recorded. And thus get a warped view of the narrative as a whole.
Am I wrong in how I read your statement?
Loved it! Thank you for your hard work on this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@metatronyt The part about the angels being single-minded was mind blowing. Now we have a better idea of why God has the rebellious ones in chains of darkness.
I'm not good at languages/translations, so I asked chatGPT some questions. On the topic of "Glory of God", ChatGPT also agrees that the passages make sense if it actually referred to an object rather than some kind of divine presence. This is what ChatGPT 4 had to say:
1. Exodus 24:16-17: Imagine "the glory of the LORD" as a flying vehicle or a craft that descends onto Mount Sinai. The "cloud" that covers the mountain could be seen as the smoke or vapor emitted by the vehicle as it lands or hovers. The "consuming fire" might be the light or energy emitted by the vehicle, possibly from engines or a powerful source of light. The vehicle's presence on the mountain top, visible to the Israelites, could be interpreted as a dramatic and awe-inspiring event, similar to a landing of a high-tech craft.
2. Exodus 40:34-35: If the "glory of the LORD" is a flying vehicle, it could be seen as hovering over or even entering the tabernacle. The "cloud" might be exhaust or some form of atmospheric disturbance caused by the vehicle. Moses being unable to enter the tent due to the cloud could imply the intense power or presence of the vehicle. The idea that the vehicle "fills" the tabernacle could suggest its close proximity or even that it is stationed inside the tabernacle, making the space overwhelming or inaccessible to humans.
3. 1 Kings 8:10-11: In this passage, the "glory of the LORD" could be imagined as a vehicle that enters the temple, accompanied by a cloud (again, possibly exhaust or a manifestation of its power). The priests being unable to perform their service due to the cloud suggests the overwhelming presence of the vehicle, filling the temple with its physical or energetic presence.
4. Ezekiel 1:28: The "brightness all around it" and the "appearance of a rainbow" could be interpreted as light or energy emissions from the vehicle, perhaps from some form of propulsion or a radiant surface. Ezekiel falling face down upon seeing it suggests the vehicle's overwhelming visual impact, possibly akin to witnessing an advanced, powerful craft. The voice speaking from the vehicle would then be the voice of God, or perhaps an intermediary, communicating from within this divine vehicle.
5. Ezekiel 43:4-5: Here, the "glory of the LORD" as a flying vehicle could be envisioned entering the temple through the eastern gate, possibly hovering or moving inside. The "Spirit" lifting Ezekiel might be interpreted as him being taken up into or alongside the vehicle, perhaps even within its presence. The vehicle then filling the temple could indicate it is occupying the space, radiating power, and perhaps even guiding or controlling events within the temple.
Thank you Metatron for these enlightening biblical translation videos. I didn't know the Epic of Erra was connected to this story.
These vids are quite the watch for something in the background. Good work and wonderous work there sir Meta.
Much appreciated
Expedition Bible has a good video on this. In the area you can find the Sulphur balls where the Dead Sea used to be because the balls extinguished in the water and therefore never burned up. Bones were warped as well and pottery found was glazed which didn’t exist at the time of the event.
These are always so good. Thank you for the tremendous effort in an era which openly despises and seeks to suppress such content.
Oh, this is gonna be great. Can't wait to hear Metatron's analysis of how God nuked two entire cities thousands of years before it was popular.
What cities were nuked for no reason and when did it become a popular thing to do? When and where did this happen?

On the subject of Lot & his family being Just and then practicing incest, was explained to me like this:
The fact that Lot and his family wanted live in such a deprived city that even after escaping they were seduced by the behavior from living there. Which would explain why 1. they had to be forcibly removed from S&G 2. Lot’s wife looked back and 3. why his daughters made a plan to procreate with their father. Lot started out “Just” bcuz of his relation to Abraham & God then fell down into a slippery slope. I’ve read & believe S&G was already judged. The men of the city wanting to s.a. the Angels was evidence of their wickedness.
Didn't their sons, conceived by their father, become the fathers of several of the "wicked" peoples surrounding Israel?
The acts towards the angels were likely a symptom of the overall sin/depravity rather then the ultimate cause of the destruction. Just one more line entry on the list of charges.
A simpler explanation is Lot had faith in God. The New Testament says numerous times that Abraham believed God, and it was counted as righteousness.
Lot was also rich, so he had plenty of sheep for sacrifice.
@@RomrotMechanikos Lot might have had faith in god, but not so the angels. They told him where to seek shelter but he started haggling with them. He didn't want to go that far.
My interpretation is that since Lot and his daughters are the progenitors of the people now known as the Palestinians, the passage is not historical at all. It is propaganda against the peoples surrounding the Jews of Israel. It is a fake origin story like the Black Muslim story that a mad scientist in ancient Africa who so hated God that he made a corrupt and corrupting humanoid species loaded with all manner of vileness and violence -- White people.
I've been waiting for this.
The "weapons" part of the Akkadian text sounds like the power up sequence before a huge battle in anime.
I have always had a want to look deeper into this. Thank you for taking the time to get the information and reading through the findings of your research. I absolutely love this series, please continue to do such an awe inspiring introspective.
IP - Inspiring Philosophy has many videos about how the Old Testament is related to the Summerian and Mesopotamian myths. It makes sense as Abraham came from a city from Summerian tradition as it was northern Ur.
IP has some good stuff when he isn't trying to be novel as he is in his take on Job.
These are my favorite videos. Thanks Metatron!
I am not personally religious but I do enjoy listening to the history regarding religious writings and history in that era in time of the writings and manuscripts in general. Awesome deep dive Metatron. Love your videos
Fantastic. Definitely we're hearing a story of an historic event that is enveloped with a moral lesson. These fascinate me dearly. Thank you Metatron, absolutely epic work.
Definitely, it's the one thing that intrigues me with Hancock. I think some of it has merit, but I also think he stretches his analogies a bit thin to suit a narrative.
But I have always thought that myth and legend has some amount of truth to them lost to time and propaganda.
Objective and well research. This is why I'll click on your videos every time.
Hey I appreciate that thanks!
This is probably your best serie. I enjoy it very much as it is really though provoking. Thank you!
OMG, I missed your Biblical videos so much😻 Thank you)))
You are very welcome
I love your approach. This video, for some reason, made me really curious how a conversation or collaboration with Inspiring Philosophy would go...
That was well done. I liked your sharing the Accadian myths as assisting in the understanding but where you really shined in this video was when you discussed "just" and what that means and what therefore the actual biblical reason for the destruction of these cities were; violence, inhospitality, as well as sexual sins, economic sins and cruelty toward those less fortunate. "The traditions speak of injustice, sin of adultery, lies, pride, gluttony, excess wealth, indifference to the poor, and inhospitality." As for the sin of inhospitality, in our modern age we overlook this. In the ancient world there were few to no inns, truck stops, restaurants, and other amenities for travelers who risked life and limb on the road from wild beasts and robbers and roaming bands of bandits. The sin of inhospitality was to deny a traveler protection and needed sustenance when they were most vulnerable. All in all one of your top videos Metatron. Love those 72 wings.
I understand that it’s still the case in Near East cultures, that a stranger could turn up at your door/tent and you were obliged to take care of them for three days and nights before you could ask anything about them.
Angels: "You cannot take us like toys. WE ARE THE GUARDIANS OF GOD"
Citizens: "That only makes the experience MORE interesting" 🥵
Freakdom and Freakmorrah
Sodomites: “That’s hot.”
Stop, stop it
And they all died.
Angels: Beam us up Scottie.
Your videos are always really good, and a lot of them, like this one, are truly great. I can only imagine how much research, and work, goes into a video like this, and I am grateful that you do all of it, to entertain, and educate the rest of us. Thank you!!!
28:18 My jaw dropped a little here as [síra] literally means sulphur/brimstone in my (slavic) language. I know these are completely different language families, but it is still pretty interesting coincidence.
Students of Sanskrit have said the closest modern language to ancient Sanskrit is Russian.
@@xenuburger7924 no its not, its Hindustani.
It has long been speculated that Abraham came from the Tigris and Euphrates region. Considering most of the old testament was written between 1200 BCE and 165 BCE and many of the events written about were supposed to have occurred hundreds of years earlier, I'm not surprised it borrows heavily from Zoroastrian, Akkadian and later, Babylonian culture.
It has is known that there was a meteor impact in what is now Iraq in 2193 BCE. The impact site is theorised to be the location of Akkad. Two cities were destroyed & many others were affected. The power of the impact is speculated to be the equivalent of 9,00 Hiroshima atomic bombs. There is also speculation that the resultant dust in the atmosphere, led to global climate change. Indeed, at around this time, the Akkadian empire the Indus Valley civilisation, the Egyptian old kingdom and the Liangzhu culture went into terminal decline. Each decline had it's own reasons, but one that crops up in each case, is severe drought.
I'm not totally convinced about all of that, but I thought I'd put it out there.
Doesn't Genesis say, at the beginning of Abraham's story, that he grew up in the city of Ur (in modern Southern Iraq / Kuwait)?
*BC..... no reason to change it but weirdos who hate that our calendar revolves around their object of unfocused hatred.
@@randlebrowne2048 Yes: Begin reading in Genesis 11:31 and continue. Abraham begins in Ur near Kuwait,/Iraq and travels to Haran northern Syria to live for awhile. Then he leaves Haran and travels to Canaan (Palestine/Israel). Then he goes to Egypt and then he returns back to Canaan. His son, Isaac, also travels to and gets his wife from Haran but he stays mainly in Canaan. Abraham's other son Ishmael travels from Canaan to Egypt to get his wife and then south into Arabia. Isaac's son, Jacob, repeats his father's journey's. Isaac's other son, Esau, stays in the east side of Canaan (Jordan). Finally Jacob travels to Egypt during a famine and he dies thus setting the stage for the Exodus.
These patriarchs weren't ignorant, poor or sheltered. They were considered influential and wise, very wealthy and well traveled and worldly.
@@finnkuudere3516 Generally speaking, you never hear about poor people having servants in their households (as Abraham repeatedly is mentioned to have).
@@randlebrowne2048 I understand that a lot of these "servants were "employees." Abraham was essentially a rancher and he had huge flocks. He and his immediate could not manage all this themselves so there were likely some families who attached themselves to him and they essentially became a company. Then as this cohort grew Abraham and different families acquired actual servants.
"Totality of Judgement" sounds like a metal band name, I dig it
Doesn't get much more metal than total destruction from all the elements.
I love this series, it's what got me into Metatron to begin with.
This ties into the recent discovery on mars of pure sulfur where it shouldn't be.....maybe some brimstone that didnt make it to earth😉
I love your unbiased presentation of the truth and facts. Keep up the great work.
The Akkadian description of the 7 reminds me of the 7 in Revelations. I would almost say that they are very similar in description. Would love to hear what you think about that. Very awesome. Thank you for your research and presentation of the facts. Be blessed and have a wonderful day.
I can't get enough of these videos.
They found sulfur all over the location in question... aka brimstone.
The only unforgivable sin is Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
Which is to deny the spirit to the point of death.
I find it so crazy that people continue to question the accuracy of historical events in the Bible when archeologists use the Bible to search for ruins.
IIRC sexual misconduct and murder are also unforgivable, simply due to the fact they affect other lives irrevocably and blaspheme God's will/ given life spans.
Excellent break down. Only think I’d note is that angels have free will, they aren’t machines, like humans they have freedom. So when we see angels acting until they are ordered to stop they are simply being obedient freely.
When speaking about just and Lot and his family , they commited incest after they were taken out of the line of fire and thus were no longer just and even went on to form the Moabs and the Ammonites. Yeah. Just saying...
Exactly. Also Lot´s daughters did it in ignorance (they thought the world had ended). Metatron is just trying to downplay the gravity of the sin of Sodomy.
That incest is only in the Old Testament, because the authors wished to slander all the prophets of God. According to Shia Islam, prophets are all sinless, otherwise they wouldn't have been chosen by God.
Sunnis say a lot of weird stuff about the Holy Prophet because they took their religion and hadith from the Umayyads, who had a tribal vendetta against the Holy prophet.
@@موسى_7Prophets are not sinless. For them to be devoid of sin would mean they are divine and man can not be divine.

Brilliant and informative!
Using only the genealogies from the Bible, the birth date of Abraham was 2167 BC. Abram moved to Haran in 2087 BC. Abram left Haran for Canaan when he was 75 years old in 2092 BC. Abraham was circumcised in 2068 BC. Abraham died in 1992 BC. So, the exact year of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was 2068 BC, when Abraham was 99 years old.
Cant go by genealogies because they are not complete. Jewish tradition leaves out generations that does not have relevance. Paul warned about debating the genealogies.
@@vikinglife6316 The biblical genealogies are complete for their intended purpose. This record creates a biblical calendar that extends from Creation forward using the life span of certain individuals. This is not a Jewish tradition. Because the genealogies are historically accurate they provide a timeline that can be keyed to important events, like the Flood, destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, entrance into Egypt, exodus from Egypt, entrance into Canaan, and many important events that shaped history. We are not debating genealogies as if being Jewish or Gentile has any importance, it is about understanding how God has provided a historical timeline that allows the modern person to accurately date events that occurred in the past. Thus, we know that Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed in 2068 BC, exactly.

Why do people seem to conclude that two or more civilizations having a flood myth means they’re talking about the same event? Natural disasters were a big deal in early civilizations and floods wouldn’t be uncommon in that region. It seems likely that civilizations often had flood myths because they were significant events worth memorializing, but that doesn’t necessitate them being the same event.
I kind of get that. About every religion in the world has a myth on the flood. It's hard to believe that could have all be one flood.
I'd probably give more credit to something like two nearby civilizations having a myth on something like Pompeii.
Like I can imagine if a meteor obliterated the neighboring kingdom, you'd have some similar myths about it.

Thank you so much for making more accurate translations available. I used to watch Pastor Arnold Murray from Shepherd's Chapel in Arkansas, because of his more accurate translations of Biblical texts. He gave us the possible meanings of certain scriptures, and allowed us to come to our own logical conclusions, based on historical data, cultural norms , and common sense. It is amazing how often translations were botched, and important content omitted. Thank you, teacher.
I swear your describing modern day America. I believe while none of these sins are exclusive it does seem that the acceptance of sodomy in culture welcomes in all other sins previously mentioned. Responding to your point.
I hear you, but I think its the other way around. Sodomy can only become accepted when all the other sins are already accepted. Sodomy is the final straw, and destruction follows...
Lot and his daughters...if god can forgive that and the bible considers Lot a 'righteous man' why not anything else?
@@benjalucian1515
Everyone sins. Lot's righteousness was based on his love of God, not his behavior. Perhaps he recognized his errors and repented?
Ezekiel 16:49 “Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.”
@@benjalucian1515 I have been reading the comments and you have brought this up several times. I believe you are hyper-fixated on the topic likely because of a personal agenda. I do not believe my response will be accepted but I will try.
First the story is about the judgement of the cities of the plains and not about one particular family and their familial dysfunction, we have other stories for that. Second the daughters were motivated not out of lust but out of a need to procreate for a future family and inheritance. Third Lot and his daughters were not righteous but rather they were spared out of mercy. This incestual act and sin is an unfortunate act of desperation that is juxtaposed to God's mercy in sparing that family.
Inconsistencies in the narrative is more of a reflection of mankind's inability to stand pure before a holy God rather than a reflection of change in God's character.
What is also missed by many in this is that God appeared to Abraham as a man, yet the Jews and the Muslims say 'God can't become a man'. Even though it is written.
There is no contradiction. I can paint a man on a wall, that doesn't make it a man, it's the picture of a man.
They place limitations on God as if God couldn't do whatever He wants. Even Moses saw God's feet. How can The Lord have feet if He can't assume a human form?
It's not quite "God" that's written in that episode, but Yahweh, translated as "the Lord".
Considering that both words Elohim (translated as God) and Yahweh (the Lord) are present in the Bible, it's actually arbitrary to interpret that Yahweh and Elohim are the same figure.
In the Quran, Lot and Abraham saw angels, not God.
@@موسى_7Muhammad married a 6 year old
I'm so often reminded of the opening paragraph of "The Tale of Two Cities", especially applicable currently the line: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness..."
BTW, I recall years ago seeing/reading that there apparently exists in the archeological record of that valley an astrological/meteoric event coinciding with Sodom's & Gomorrah's destructions.
Always a good day when there’s a new Metatron video 👍🏾
love your vibe, keep up the awesome content
Love this! My favorite was your take on Lot's wife.
A couple of points: the final judgement on Sodom was not determined until the angels saw the situation on the ground.
2) We don't know how drunk Lot was, and the Bible never calls his daughters ' righteous' or, your translation ,' just'.
One more: most of the time, when we try to detemine God's motives, we are speculating. Not necessarily bad, we just need to remember it's a theory, not a fact.
Timely video considering the french Olympic games opening ceremonies.
Used as an adjective, fire-and-brimstone often refers to a style of Christian preaching that uses vivid descriptions of judgment and eternal damnation to encourage repentance especially popular during historical periods of Great Awakening.[3]
Oh man I had a bit of a crummy morning and this is the day brightener I need while I eat my first goddamn meal of the day at 2:45 pm 😅 I’ve wanted to know more abt Sodam and Gomorra for years and have never been able to find any good info on the actual history.
Are you familiar with the areas around the dead sea in five distinct locations where sulphur in purity far above any that is commonly found anywhere else on earth is found? With areas that resemble ancient cities and melted fragments of bones are still found. It is disregarded by many modern archeologists but its a striking resemblance to the story.
Mythologies always come from a factual event. This is something that modern people don't and refuse to understand.
Yes, and that factual event in this particular case was Pompeii and Herculaneum.
@@danielaaron81 Uh... You realize the Old Testament was written way before Pompeii happened, right?

Excellent video, well researched and presented. Prime example of how to be precise without being biased. I’d like just to add something to the mix. When you mention Lot and his daughters - and I believe it was just to get the point across - you said it was incest and that was enough proof that they were not just. If one believes the Creation story - which I do - than only through siblings’ marriage humanity came to be. The practice wasn’t seen as tabu in the ancient world having its practice being recorded in Egypt, across Eurasia and even more recently in the 17th century, Hungary. The Bible itself only prohibited intercourse between relatives during Israel’s exodus, about 1000 years later of Lot’s tale.
