I must say it's so refreshing to see men of my generation discussing and talking about God, Christ, and the Scriptures - and being laid back, but serious about it, rather than skeptical and scoffing. I wish there were more men like you in the world. Praying for your ministry to be blessed.
Love the new behind the scenes of the videos!! Also I think it's a great idea since I know you two fine chaps and think the audience wants to see the two homies behind the epic videos. Also that's probably the first time chaps and homies has ever been in the same sentence lol
Omg i have ur "death to yolo song." Also its good to know your into the bible project. And friends with the producers. I love their videos, so much detail and creativity.
I had an idea that you should do profile videos about important people in the Bible, like Moses and others. You could go into more detail about their story and how it played into the themes of the books. And I hope when this is all done you guys release an art book. That would be amazing!
keep in mind we all the people of the past present and future all go threw our own revelation . the idea GOD has in place for us is to see if we can identify our revelation and come out alive in his glory or falter and stray from the straight and narrow
“Hoarfrost”. That is what we see in the Midwest on humid, frigid mornings. A most beautiful part of growing up on the farm in the winter! Great depiction of manna.
I love these videos, they are so real and also great discussion and points brought up. Its nice to see the people behind this project talk about God and his word outside of the videos.
Thanks for what you’re doing. I really appreciate it. To all reading this: send The Bible Project some money so they can keep doing this! The part that I appreciated most in this teaching on Numbers is that God was protecting his people from Balam's attempted cursing - even when they had no idea that it was going on. I had never thought of it in that way before. God guards us all the time, not only when we recognize it! There's so much that we don't know that God protects us from. Thanks be to God! I think you guys nailed it when you said that the problem with Moses hitting the rock instead of speaking to it to get the water (as God told him to do) is that he was disrespecting God and God’s people through that whole scene. He was building himself up too, which is generally not a good idea. But why hit the rock in the first place? I’ve been told that the hills in the Sinai are made of a porous sandstone that traps water from the rare rains. This water would just seep out as fast as it goes in except that it dissolves salts in the stone and carries these salts with it as it seeps out the of the rock. As soon as the water hits the surface it evaporates, leaving the salts behind, which form a coating on the rock preventing further water reaching the surface and evaporating. The water piles up in the rock, building up a considerable pressure. Travelers have learned to wack the rock, breaking the salt seal and letting the water pour out, often with quite a bit of pressure. The point then is that anyone in the know could wack the rock and get the water, but speaking to the rock wouldn’t work - unless God made it so. So instead of Moses giving all the glory to God he was grabbing it for himself - “I did this for you” in other words. Bad choice on his part. Of course, WE never do anything like that, right? That was taught to me by Dr. James Fleming who was leading a group of seminary students through a 3 week tour of Israel (yikes- could that have been 32 years ago!). You can read more about him at www.biblicalresources.net/about-biblical-resources.cfm Any comments about the reasonableness of this bit of learning? Thanks again. May you always recognize the blessings of God. I recognize them in you!
One thing I think you should change is the titles for these behind the scene type videos. They should relate to the video they came off of. You can keep the "what is manna part" but maybe reshape the title to be something like, "The Book Of Numbers: What IS Manna?" or some other title. Or don't. Its up to you guys, just trying to help make this awesome project awesomer.
You guys are doing a fantastic job. This is helping me in a Bible study I'm leading with new believers and maybe some nonbelievers, as we're attempting to lay the foundation of the Old Testament so the New Testament makes sense. You obviously are pretty educated in the Old Testament, you do a great job of summarizing complicated books quickly; which is a real skill and needed for today's millennial short-attention span types. May God bless you both and I hope you continue to take your mission very seriously.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the behind the scenes. I'm dreading reaching the last video, and BTS spreads out this wonderful experience a little longer. God bless you for the BIBLE PROJECT!
I absolutely love these videos you guys. I just watched my first one about a month ago (the one on Job), and it really caught my attention. I'm turning 17 here soon, and I recommend these videos to all my friends my age. They're fun to watch and a great way to learn. Sadly, I have no money to donate, but I'm keeping yall's group in my prayers.
I love this channel! The Word Of God Is already alive, but Your illustrations and voice overs make it so much more captivating. I pray my future children love this as much as I do. God bless
There is actually such a thing as natural manna and you can actually buy it from rare spice dealers. It occurs in the settings of sappy fragrant plant and insect-related dust forming globules with the moisture in the air so that in the morning when it condenses it dries into flakes and beads.
Been following your daily plan, watching all your vids, and sharing....so awesome!!!! Just saw this one and it's one of my favs, but y'all haven't done another like this is quite awhile where you answer questions. Please please please!! Share your knowledge on more interesting topics on each book!!! God Bless y'all!!
Great stuff you guys are doing! The videos and text as you say, "tie or unify" the story of the Bible and as result make it more compelling, interesting and even positively addicting. May God continue to bless your efforts and give you His vision for His people in these last days. Emmanuel.
I think it's great to see the thought process into how the videos are put together. Really enjoy watching your vids. I'm a monthly subscriber and think that it's awesome to be able to share these vids freely on TH-cam. Keep being a blessing!!
HELLO FROM AUSTRALIA :) i dont know if anyone has already said this, Manna, when said in Assyrian, means "plate"....dont know if there was ever meant to be a literary connection there, but when i first read this a little light bulb went off in my head. it is so fascinating how words from different languages can in some way relate. Thank you for your videos, i watch each one more than once as a study reference. Sending many blessings!
For the kids, a coloring book, starting with Genesis. All 66 books, with one key paragraph from each book. So the kid can go to the bible and look it up. A page for each book, front and the next page.
Wow, these behind the scenes are soooo good, guys. Funny and authentic. Yes, do them for every video. Really enjoy seeing the drawings and cut scenes, too. Moses' ninja move was pretty sweet!
Is it mushroom? It only grows in the specific environment. I named my daughter “Mana” from Manna, the gift from God from sky, and also used Japanese kanji character “愛” which reads mana but means “love”. In English country, her teachers always pronounce her name manna, that’s when she comes home and tells me he/she is Christian. I recently got to know your channel and starting from the oldest video. Thank you, this is perfect for born again from non Christian country, non Christian family living in North America, confused...
I used your video on the Book of Numbers on Dec. 3, 2019. Our Life Group began our first lesson on a study of the book that began with chapter 9, verse 15 and the 7 week study of the book will not deal with many of the chapters because like your video the writer had to choose what he viewed as the major emphasis. Your video allowed me to give the class an overall view of Numbers that was very helpful. Thank you for your work. Bruce, Madison, MS
Watching in 2021 and seeing how everything y’all talk about and think about come to! Amazing and thanks so much for all you do,have done and continue to do!
Hey bible project you guys do an amazing job !! I would like to ask that if you guys ever had the time that perhaps you could give a study series on major /minor people in the Bible (David, Joseph, Ruth, etc) what you guys do is really helpful in studying and I wish you guys the best !
Love these behind the scenes videos guys! As a designer its cool to hear how you guys went through the process of designing things. I loved how you even talked about the character development as well!
Love these videos guys! You all do an awesome job and I can see that there's a lot of hard work that goes into them :) I was wondering if you guys have specific sources/resources you use or know of to help shape the context to the Old Testament? For example, part of understanding the writings in the bible, both New and Old Testament, is to understand culture, history, traditions, etc. Apart from going to seminary, is there any practical suggestions you guys would have? Just wanted to add to that I've been so blessed by your hard work and am praying that the Lord would bless you guys in increasing measure. Sorry my question wasn't video specific.
it would be awesome if you guys were able to put together like 1 or 2 videos about the hebrew language(or greek) it's so interesting to learn about and helps understand scripture more :)
Hey guys! I love the work you do with these videos! Could you show us some more behind the scenes videos with the artwork and animation going on? I mean, show us more how do you do it on the PC.
i just discovered you guys two months ago... love it soo much! i showed a number of videos to my kids too and they love it too ; )) ... also the behind the scenes video. well done! it´s a real blessing, encouragment and inspiration, while serving here in mozambique among the m´s. stay focused, stay true, stay faithful! blessings, martin
I love you guys with the love of God. I cant thank you all and all others who are directly or indirectly involved in this project. Great is your reward i heaven. God truly bless you all.
In Egyptian slang used till now , there is "kani w mani" which means (ghee and honey) , the word "mani" was used to describe the food offered for gods then , I had a thought that it could mean (god's food), it could have been offered for the poor in the name of gods ... just a thought.
These videos are so great! I have recommended them to my teens I teach in youth group. Thank you for what you are doing! Moses getting disqualified from entering the promised land by striking the rock...I was taught that by striking the rock instead of speaking to it, Moses was relying on his own past experience (from Ex 17) instead of relying on God's word, and that's why he was punished so strongly for it. What are your thoughts on that?
[context] a couple of years ago I attended a (probably a type of evangelical denominational) church meeting quite a bit out of my own residential area (primarily actually (within initial intent) because one of my aunts of my mothers root family; hence I was only a guest visitor a few times (because I hold my aunt dear - attempt to some semi-humor here -); - _ ) [main content] according to the preacher the intent of God instructing Moses & Aaron through at least seemingly humble prayer (both lay on the ground as in a submissive stance) to NOT hit the hidden water fountain rock with the rod but absolutely rather speak to it was NOT (only???) about checking the rate of obedience of Moses, but to foreshadow Jesus Christ as the ultimate redeemer of sins (under the condition to faithfully follows God's & the Lord's command(ments): ... ... however it primarily was God's intent to foreshadow that Jesus (symbolized as being 'The Only Sufficiently Steady Rock' to build & trust on) would be suffer on the cross & in the three days & three nights in the core of this very planet we ONLY and REALLY only ONCE and that would be enough for the redemption gift of God to sinful mankind for the rest of the pre-judgement-days. Hence God was so dissappointed that Moses was not allowed to enter the Holy Land alive. [sharing my personal conclusion(s)] 1. God is very strict in His commands; 2a. God is that kind of strict in His rule because He might have hidden plans which such as the one mentioned above here; 2b. in case God would share His more profound intentions at least the surprise effect for later readers of Holy Scripture would be largely if not fully diminished that gets Bible readers more positively connected with His Word by the curiosity He generates... at least as you NOT handle the contents of Holy Scripture by just only reading it a superficial level; 3a. (actually a remark, not a conclusion): my biological brother once sad in the sphere of my root family that love (in general) should be accompanied with understanding; 3b. does the representative Body of Christ on Earth [including the person which currently is also the human grade author here] genuinely long for understanding God without being inappropriately curious for whatever vain reason(s)? 3c. please note directly here again: being curious to whom God is for selfish reason is disrespecting Jesus's --- brain error, maybe later more; just maybe... oh wait: between being just christian and being WITH Christ Jesus there might be a small -D.V.- opportunity for something like 'engagement times': NOT engagement with the slippery sloped secular world, but proverbial engagement like in the sense of the coming of the Divine Marriage; [a call for you to scrutinize myself by lightly advocating others do also some research on it] your feedback is welcome, it seems to me that my brain messed with me again since the latter part of this comment has become quite off-topic (pardon me on this please, dear reader).
I love your videos. They are put together so well and very informative. What are your go to resources, commentaries, and reference material? Or is it just Tim sharing what he knows?
I realize this video was made a long time ago, but here’s my two cents. like how this video shows us the real you (if that makes sense). We already get a great sense of your personalities, which is cool. But, we get a sense of the “process” in this video. Now, the noise is distracting, which is annoying, but it’s also apart of the process as well - the energy of the projects. It’s not something I’d want to see all the time due to the background noise, but every now and then it’d be ok.
There are certain ancient river rocks that were hollow and had water inside them. Hitting the rock would break it open causing water to come out of it. Moses didn't trust God, that was the issue. Hitting the rock was Moses depending on himself and not relying on what God told him to do.
One thing that is brought up was how you have to be intentional in deciding what the videos include. I was watching the Matthew videos, I was waiting for the story of Pilate and Barabbas because there is a great parallel of humanity (us) being Barabbas but I see how that could distract from the overall flow of the videos... Anyways, thanks for the videos.
This may be a bit late but thought I should share. I think Manna would look more like brown stones (like on your illustration) but in smaller clusters not a white blob. This would probably look more like a white coriander seed from your earlier description than a blob. This was known to the Hebrews, and I suppose they would later consider manna precious or of some importance because they compared this to the stone bdellium which is a precious stone or fragrant resin like myrrh found with gold in the land of Havilah. I'm guessing manna would look a bit like rock candy or turkish delight and it has a bitter taste. God probably wanted them to burn it for the temple like incense. Also a tidbit for yah, in my mother tongue, mana means blessing or inheritance which probably came from our ancient ancestors Austro-Poly meaning 'power, effectiveness, or prestige.' Hope that gives you more insight on this matter.
Honestly I think your content is great, and I'm a Catholic. When it comes to wrapping up books of the Bible into shorty easily digestible videos, you're always going to have to leave things out and ultimately disappoint someone. At the end of the day, these are great little videos to help clear up some things and the overall message, and is by no means a replacement for actually reading the Bible, so with that said, people shouldn't really be upset.
In the book of Job, doesn't God in so many words at the end say that Job's sin is pride and that Job counted his own righteousness instead of being righteous through God?
For the longest time, I thought Donkey in the Shrek movies was Balaam's Donkey placed in a fairy tale world, based on this question: Did the donkey ever stop talking after that beating? Shrek movies were already anachronistic so it seemed likely, especially when in Shrek 2, Donkey says that there was this party, everyone was beating me with a stick saying "Piñata! Piñata!", but it doesn't hold much water compared to the theory that Donkey was one of the boys that was turned into a donkey that could still talk from Pinocchio, especially since Pinocchio was in the movies too.
I love watching you fight Drinking water against that thing your talking about... Stay Humble guys.. your work is working the heart/earth os so Many people... but jet thats info... you guys are the imagen of god... bless you :)
Hi Tim and Jon, here is a question that always bugged me. On the book of Exodus, the Bible says that God hardened the heart of the Pharaoh from letting the Hebrews go. Does it mean that God could have softened his heart, so the Pharaoh would have said: "ya, sure. go away!" :) just wondering. p.s. love the videos!
can you do a video of our Father tracing back from old to new? some people I've come across had no idea that God was know as a father to the Hebrew generation, they thought it was a new idea for the new testament that yahsua came up with.

Hey where do we send the questions?
I must say it's so refreshing to see men of my generation discussing and talking about God, Christ, and the Scriptures - and being laid back, but serious about it, rather than skeptical and scoffing. I wish there were more men like you in the world. Praying for your ministry to be blessed.
Amen
AMEN!!
Love the new behind the scenes of the videos!! Also I think it's a great idea since I know you two fine chaps and think the audience wants to see the two homies behind the epic videos. Also that's probably the first time chaps and homies has ever been in the same sentence lol
***** thanks Jeff!
Omg i have ur "death to yolo song." Also its good to know your into the bible project. And friends with the producers. I love their videos, so much detail and creativity.
@@derekflores8636 pls don't say Omg 😔
I had an idea that you should do profile videos about important people in the Bible, like Moses and others. You could go into more detail about their story and how it played into the themes of the books.
And I hope when this is all done you guys release an art book. That would be amazing!
DREAM JOB> WORKING FOR THE BIBLE PROJECT. Draw all day. Bible all day.
same
Saaame psalm dream job
You guys should definitely keep Hebrewing up those puns for us.
I'll let myself out.
+Camden Radecki LOL! Hebrewing! He is Brewing!
Lol!
nono, come back
You guys should do a BTS video on how The Bible Project was formed and how that came along, etc.
Tyler Vantine great idea!
Would love to see you guys tackle a free-will vs predestination video, that would be awesome. Love what you guys are doing, keep up the good work!
I can't wait for you all to do revelations! I try imagining it all, but seeing it animated would help a lot.
Jevon Thomas Actually, there is no "Revelations." It is "Revelation," singular. The book is one revelation of Christ given to John.
Joe Scoggins thank you for that correction! I've been saying Revelations for a long time, never realizing I was wrong.
Jevon Thomas Me, too!
keep in mind we all the people of the past present and future all go threw our own revelation . the idea GOD has in place for us is to see if we can identify our revelation and come out alive in his glory or falter and stray from the straight and narrow
“Hoarfrost”. That is what we see in the Midwest on humid, frigid mornings. A most beautiful part of growing up on the farm in the winter! Great depiction of manna.
You guys should make a podcast.
This has come true :)
Yesss!
They already do.
I love the miniature Hebrew lessons intertwined into these videos!
I love these videos, they are so real and also great discussion and points brought up. Its nice to see the people behind this project talk about God and his word outside of the videos.

You should make a video on Old Testament foreshadowing and types of Christ. It could get pretty long though... Love your work!
One thing I think you should change is the titles for these behind the scene type videos. They should relate to the video they came off of.

Matt’s so talented! The whole animation team, wow!

HELLO FROM AUSTRALIA :) i dont know if anyone has already said this, Manna, when said in Assyrian, means "plate"....dont know if there was ever meant to be a literary connection there, but when i first read this a little light bulb went off in my head. it is so fascinating how words from different languages can in some way relate. Thank you for your videos, i watch each one more than once as a study reference. Sending many blessings!
It's cool how you're using the behind the scenes videos to actually discuss some issues! Nice insights.
For the kids, a coloring book, starting with Genesis. All 66 books, with one key paragraph from each book. So the kid can go to the bible and look it up. A page for each book, front and the next page.
Put the book titles in groups of 11, so kids can learn them. Breaking down the walls.
Wow, these behind the scenes are soooo good, guys. Funny and authentic. Yes, do them for every video. Really enjoy seeing the drawings and cut scenes, too. Moses' ninja move was pretty sweet!
Is it mushroom? It only grows in the specific environment.
I named my daughter “Mana” from Manna, the gift from God from sky, and also used Japanese kanji character “愛” which reads mana but means “love”. In English country, her teachers always pronounce her name manna, that’s when she comes home and tells me he/she is Christian. I recently got to know your channel and starting from the oldest video.

Very good, guys. I love your desire to focus on the message and idea but not on the historical story alone
I really like your videos, Very educating on the Truth. Can you make a discussion or Read scripture" on the book of Enoch?
Patrick Rwiranga would be very cool if they did a series on non-canonical books
thank you for your videos. God bless your ministry Pastor Tim and John!!
I used your video on the Book of Numbers on Dec. 3, 2019.

"So, what is it?" "Exactly."
lol
Me and my kids love that project, keep going on, its amaizing the animation in 7 or 8 minuts! Congratulation
I love watching your videos very inspiring and best of all and most of all it helps me understand what's going on in various books of the Bible
Hey bible project you guys do an amazing job !! I would like to ask that if you guys ever had the time that perhaps you could give a study series on major /minor people in the Bible (David, Joseph, Ruth, etc) what you guys do is really helpful in studying and I wish you guys the best !
Love these behind the scenes videos guys! As a designer its cool to hear how you guys went through the process of designing things. I loved how you even talked about the character development as well!
I love that kind of mechanical pencil! Props to you
I love these "behind the scenes" videos!
YES do more of these BTS's and great job on the Numbers video. God Bless.
Keep the behind the scenes coming. They add such important context beyond the videos themselves. And appreciate the humor as well:)
sons of the most High God==prayers of blessings of favor, wisdom and protection in all you do
Love these videos guys! You all do an awesome job and I can see that there's a lot of hard work that goes into them :) I was wondering if you guys have specific sources/resources you use or know of to help shape the context to the Old Testament?

it would be awesome if you guys were able to put together like 1 or 2 videos about the hebrew language(or greek) it's so interesting to learn about and helps understand scripture more :)
I love these BTS videos! I am also soooo interested in the art. Maybe you guys should make a BTS video on the art, artists, and process.
Thank you guys for your amazing content. You make me wanna be mad nerdy about the bible 🤓
Keep it up
Hey guys! I love the work you do with these videos! Could you show us some more behind the scenes videos with the artwork and animation going on? I mean, show us more how do you do it on the PC.
YES! Do more of these!
"What is manna?"

I love you guys with the love of God. I cant thank you all and all others who are directly or indirectly involved in this project. Great is your reward i heaven. God truly bless you all.
so my sunday teach was right..... mountain dew is in the bible...
In Egyptian slang used till now , there is "kani w mani" which means (ghee and honey) , the word "mani" was used to describe the food offered for gods then , I had a thought that it could mean (god's food), it could have been offered for the poor in the name of gods ... just a thought.
Love these debriefs!! Keep them coming! :D

Jordyne Great point. G-d was very precise in his directions.
[context] a couple of years ago I attended a (probably a type of evangelical denominational) church meeting quite a bit out of my own residential area (primarily actually (within initial intent) because one of my aunts of my mothers root family; hence I was only a guest visitor a few times (because I hold my aunt dear - attempt to some semi-humor here -); - _ )
[main content] according to the preacher the intent of God instructing Moses & Aaron through at least seemingly humble prayer (both lay on the ground as in a submissive stance) to NOT hit the hidden water fountain rock with the rod but absolutely rather speak to it was NOT (only???) about checking the rate of obedience of Moses, but to foreshadow Jesus Christ as the ultimate redeemer of sins (under the condition to faithfully follows God's & the Lord's command(ments): ...
... however it primarily was God's intent to foreshadow that Jesus (symbolized as being 'The Only Sufficiently Steady Rock' to build & trust on) would be suffer on the cross & in the three days & three nights in the core of this very planet we ONLY and REALLY only ONCE and that would be enough for the redemption gift of God to sinful mankind for the rest of the pre-judgement-days. Hence God was so dissappointed that Moses was not allowed to enter the Holy Land alive.
[sharing my personal conclusion(s)]
1. God is very strict in His commands;
2a. God is that kind of strict in His rule because He might have hidden plans which such as the one mentioned above here;
2b. in case God would share His more profound intentions at least the surprise effect for later readers of Holy Scripture would be largely if not fully diminished that gets Bible readers more positively connected with His Word by the curiosity He generates... at least as you NOT handle the contents of Holy Scripture by just only reading it a superficial level;
3a. (actually a remark, not a conclusion): my biological brother once sad in the sphere of my root family that love (in general) should be accompanied with understanding;
3b. does the representative Body of Christ on Earth [including the person which currently is also the human grade author here] genuinely long for understanding God without being inappropriately curious for whatever vain reason(s)?
3c. please note directly here again: being curious to whom God is for selfish reason is disrespecting Jesus's --- brain error, maybe later more; just maybe... oh wait: between being just christian and being WITH Christ Jesus there might be a small -D.V.- opportunity for something like 'engagement times': NOT engagement with the slippery sloped secular world, but proverbial engagement like in the sense of the coming of the Divine Marriage;
[a call for you to scrutinize myself by lightly advocating others do also some research on it] your feedback is welcome, it seems to me that my brain messed with me again since the latter part of this comment has become quite off-topic (pardon me on this please, dear reader).
Learning so much from you guys, thanks and keep up the amazing work!
Guys, I think you forget about the INIQUITY word, from the serie of "Word studies". Btw, you and your team make a great word!
I love your videos. They are put together so well and very informative. What are your go to resources, commentaries, and reference material? Or is it just Tim sharing what he knows?
archetype104 Tim has a pretty large library. We'll put a post together at some point that highlights some of his key resources.
Love this video. It's almost like a "directors commentary" on a DVD. Please do more
I realize this video was made a long time ago, but here’s my two cents. like how this video shows us the real you (if that makes sense). We already get a great sense of your personalities, which is cool. But, we get a sense of the “process” in this video. Now, the noise is distracting, which is annoying, but it’s also apart of the process as well - the energy of the projects. It’s not something I’d want to see all the time due to the background noise, but every now and then it’d be ok.
think of all the pollen, flower and plant life that's in the air being hydrated and pulled down by the dew. It's there just as algae in the sea.
There are certain ancient river rocks that were hollow and had water inside them. Hitting the rock would break it open causing water to come out of it. Moses didn't trust God, that was the issue. Hitting the rock was Moses depending on himself and not relying on what God told him to do.
I think manna was a type of mushroom (not psychedelic ones!!) Also, I'd love to see a video about David.
Just wanted to say I love you guys! Lol
Great job guys!!!! Techies who like Bible are a rare breed
One thing that is brought up was how you have to be intentional in deciding what the videos include. I was watching the Matthew videos, I was waiting for the story of Pilate and Barabbas because there is a great parallel of humanity (us) being Barabbas but I see how that could distract from the overall flow of the videos... Anyways, thanks for the videos.
Love this so much. You guys embody coolness.😊💜🙏
You all should listen to "So You Want to Go Back to Egypt" by Keith Green. At the end of the song he does something quite funny with the manna.
Hey can you talk about biblical principles that God teaches to prosper and give wisdom to his children.
At Numbers 20:10 Moses said, "Must we bring out water for you from this crag?" So, he was giving glory to himself and Aaron before Jehovah.
great work guys keep it up, your reward is in heaven...
Hi! May I know when the video on "Sacrifice & Atonement" will be out? Can't wait for it!!!
Li Zhi Yi We are scheduled to release it the week of August 17. We are currently on schedule!
We're learning about this week at church
Please do more of these! I love seeing the creative process.
Love the videos guys keep it up you guys do an amazing job
This may be a bit late but thought I should share. I think Manna would look more like brown stones (like on your illustration) but in smaller clusters not a white blob. This would probably look more like a white coriander seed from your earlier description than a blob. This was known to the Hebrews, and I suppose they would later consider manna precious or of some importance because they compared this to the stone bdellium which is a precious stone or fragrant resin like myrrh found with gold in the land of Havilah. I'm guessing manna would look a bit like rock candy or turkish delight and it has a bitter taste. God probably wanted them to burn it for the temple like incense. Also a tidbit for yah, in my mother tongue, mana means blessing or inheritance which probably came from our ancient ancestors Austro-Poly meaning 'power, effectiveness, or prestige.' Hope that gives you more insight on this matter.
What do you guys think about doing a video or discussion on marriage and how it's a reflection of our relationship with God?
Honestly I think your content is great, and I'm a Catholic. When it comes to wrapping up books of the Bible into shorty easily digestible videos, you're always going to have to leave things out and ultimately disappoint someone. At the end of the day, these are great little videos to help clear up some things and the overall message, and is by no means a replacement for actually reading the Bible, so with that said, people shouldn't really be upset.
In the book of Job, doesn't God in so many words at the end say that Job's sin is pride and that Job counted his own righteousness instead of being righteous through God?
1:41 , 4:22 Oh Moses, Moses.
For the longest time, I thought Donkey in the Shrek movies was Balaam's Donkey placed in a fairy tale world, based on this question: Did the donkey ever stop talking after that beating? Shrek movies were already anachronistic so it seemed likely, especially when in Shrek 2, Donkey says that there was this party, everyone was beating me with a stick saying "Piñata! Piñata!", but it doesn't hold much water compared to the theory that Donkey was one of the boys that was turned into a donkey that could still talk from Pinocchio, especially since Pinocchio was in the movies too.
Loving these videos! You guys are the best. I am inspired by the way you choose to summarize a book. It's great.
That was cool. Conversating just like you do in a small group or informal bible study. Asking questions in wonder.
I love watching you fight Drinking water against that thing your talking about... Stay Humble guys.. your work is working the heart/earth os so Many people... but jet thats info... you guys are the imagen of god... bless you :)
Hi Tim and Jon, here is a question that always bugged me. On the book of Exodus, the Bible says that God hardened the heart of the Pharaoh from letting the Hebrews go. Does it mean that God could have softened his heart, so the Pharaoh would have said: "ya, sure. go away!" :) just wondering. p.s. love the videos!
can you do a video of our Father tracing back from old to new? some people I've come across had no idea that God was know as a father to the Hebrew generation, they thought it was a new idea for the new testament that yahsua came up with.
You guys are so cute and authentic
