In this video, we’ll learn how these prophetic books contribute to the storyline of the Bible and why it’s worth learning how to read them more attentively.

“the mutual partnership between God and the Israelites.”
That’s an AWESOME description of the covenants
Abraham The Father of Many Nations!
The New Covenant Jesus Christ died for All sinners, that’s every One that is born physically!
For God so Loved...
The covenants are both marriage covenants. God married Israel, divorced them, and then remarried Israel through the Person of Jesus Christ. Every Christian is adopted into Israel.
It was always one person in Bible.
Absolutely is.
Rev 2:9, 3:9, 1 John 2:22-23. Give your head a good shake.
As a Youth Pastor I show these videos to my kids and they love it!
Mark = thanks for sharing. I was hoping someone was doing that. Thanks, for taking care of the kids!
Good for you
Thats an antimeassiah cult, that took Daniel out of its prophets. No wonder God chases them . Very wicked religion.
As a youth pastor do you tell your students that Europeans (Greecians) bought us Israelites (negros) from the Philistines (Fulani) on the West Coast of Africa in Joel 3:1-7?
I enjoy these at age 30..
Vincent van Gogh explains the prophets. excellent!
I thought the same thing.
And Matisse too?
hahaha.. yeah, im thinking the same.. wow
Lol yessss
I’m dead 😆
Always excited for a new Bible Project video!
"It's a message we still need to hear today". Amen

Please read Revelation
You got to know when will he come plz plz plz read revelation the last book of Bible .
Jesus will come and fulfill revelation.
@@rickyjovis7010 Revelation is from the false prophet Jesus and the entire new testament is a lie.
The Lord rebuke you out of this comment section satan! In the name of Jesus!
The Lord is not slack in His coming, but is O so patient, giving sinners a chance to repent, for He is not willing that any should perish.
Make no mistake about it. Jesus is coming quickly, to repay every man according to his deeds.
Amen
God bless you all
@@humblelowlyservantofthemos1095 Your false god Jesus itself is SATAN. And I rebuke and cast out that false god.
Your false god has been coming since the last 2000 years.He's got the world's longest orgasm.
I'm thankful that I got to chat in this video. It helps to talk to other Christians out there who aren't lukewarm. I've met quite a lot of them and it's truly sad. Thank you for this chat. I'm also thankful that I had people asking me questions about Christianity. God Bless you all!
Love you too_ no homo
Beautiful artwork on this one, guys!
Is Daniel among the Prophets?
In our modern English translations of the Bible, the book of Daniel is located in between the prophetic books of Ezekiel and Hosea, which themselves are situated among the biblical books of the Prophets. So it seems simple: Daniel is among the Prophets.
However, the sequence of the books in our modern Bibles comes from Greek biblical manuscripts dating from the mid-300s A.D., well into the Christian period. The oldest form of the Hebrew Bible known to us dates to the centuries before Jesus (2nd-1st century B.C.), an arrangement called by various titles: The Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings (from the prologue to the Wisdom of Ben Sirah); The Torah, the Prophets, and David (from the Dead Sea Scrolls); and The Torah, the Prophets, and the Psalms (Jesus in Luke 24:44). This three-part arrangement is very ancient, and it's woven into the editorial design of the biblical scrolls themselves (see our video on the TaNaK).
In this original arrangement of the Hebrew Bible, Daniel is not among the Prophets; rather, the book is found in the third section, the Writings. There, it is bound closely to a small triad within the Writings, Ezra-Nehemiah, Daniel, and 1-2 Chronicles. This triad makes up the grand finale of the entire Hebrew Bible in a really cool way that we don’t have space to explore here. But the bottom line is that in the oldest form of the Hebrew Bible, Daniel is not among the Prophets and for some very good reasons.
Within the book of Daniel, Daniel is never called a prophet, and he never plays the role of a prophet. He is not called by God in a vision or dream to announce warning or the Day of the Lord to Israel’s leaders, nor does he call the people of Israel to repentance or faithfulness to the covenant. This was the basic job description of a prophet, and Daniel does not fit the bill. But that doesn’t mean Daniel isn’t important. His role was fundamentally different from the other biblical prophets. Daniel is consistently called a “wise man” (Dan 1:4, 17, 20; 2:20, 23) in whom God’s Spirit dwells (Dan 4:8, 9; 5:11, 14). But never does he prophesy. Rather, he is given wisdom to interpret the king of Babylon’s dreams (Dan chs. 2 and 4). Then later in the book, Daniel is given wisdom to interpret the books of the biblical prophets (Dan ch.9), but he is not included among their number. Instead, he is portrayed as the ideal Bible reader, who reads the scriptures and prays for God’s wisdom to understand what they mean and how they point to the coming Kingdom of God. This portrait of Daniel has all the hallmarks of what we could call “an apocalyptic visionary.”
So Daniel is among the apocalyptic figures in the Bible, and this is why he’s not included in our video, How to Read the Prophets. When we get to our video on How to Read Apocalyptic Literature in the Bible, we will include Daniel.
How come Jospehus refers to Daniel as a part of the prophets? When he divided the Tanakh into 22 books. Is it possible his division of the Hebrew scriptures is older than the Tanakh or is it his own interpretation?
Why is Daniel in "the Prophets after the exile" in your reading plan? Maybe he should be in its own category like Revelations 🤔
Thank you for explaining this, you really cleared up the confusion I had
The Bible Project Thank you very much for taking the time to explain this to me. I had never thought of Daniel as an “Apocalyptic Visionary”, instead, I’ve always read him as a prophet.
Your explanation makes sense because it is true that there is no written account in the book of Daniel of the title character prophesying to the Jewish exiles in Babylon to repent of their sins. And I really like the term “Apocalyptic Visionary” because it draws a similarity between Daniel and John, the writer of Revelations.
Anyways, thank you for all the research and study that you all do for the purpose of building up The Body.
Daniel is a prophet because he saw the future of what would happen in the end times some of those prophesies haven’t come to pass yet
So flipping beautiful, audio and visual wise. Well done!
JESUS IS LORD! Believe in the LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THOU SHALL BE SAVED.

Jesus is a false god.Amen.
I can't believe how timely each video is for my context. I'm leading our Middle School Confirmation Students through the Hebrew Bible this year and we are finishing up poetry and heading into the Prophets within the next month. Thanks for being one step ahead of us! You guys ROCK!
Keep praying everyone everyday. We need to stay United so Satan stays away from us God bless you and all of us repent fast and pray Amen
Lord Iet me in
I always enjoy the different animation styles in your videos, but I think the style in this series on biblical poetry is my favorite 😊
So exciting!!! 🙌
J.J.! How are you? Funny to see you here.
Same here bro!
@@bibleproject hello guys! You truly inspire me!
@@bibleproject 🙈🙈🙈 I am well! It has been a minute but I am sooooooo ready for TBP2019 🏃 Certainly hope you guys had a wonderful holiday!!
May The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
The great love of God,
The precious fellowship of The Holy Spirit,
Rest with us and in us now and forevermore, amen..
I sure wish I had this when teaching Christianity in Japan. The closest word they have to prophet is "yogensha," which means "fortune teller."
Joshua Tobler hi. Maybe try translating prophet as "messenger" during your next visit? I hope they at least have a word for messenger. That is what a prophet really is in their simplest form, a messenger of God. Blessings!
How was your experience doing that?
@@kameshamcg5646 Great idea! Because Angel also means messenger, do you think a different word should be used for Angel or...maybe just differentiate between The Messengers? I'm asking because I do ministry with different groups from Asia. I've Figured out other ways of communicating Concepts but haven't come across this one. If anyone has suggestions, please share
@@KylaGrace I not so sure about this one lol. The only thing I can think of is referring to angels as "heavenly messengers." Maybe that would help to differentiate between the two. I hope this helps!
@@kameshamcg5646 calling prophets “human messengers” could help :)
Beautiful, beautiful video!
May the most High continue to bless you and fill you guys with His Holy Spirit so that ya'll can continue to educate us and others. Praise the LORD.
The art is GORGEOUS here, Project. And the content is spot-on. Kudos!
Growing up in a Christian home and in church, I was intimidated by the books of the prophets and just kinda passed over them as the sometimes intense, sonetimes difficult writings between the great Bible stories of Genesis and David, et al, and the New covenant gospels and writings from the apostles. I knew the popular stories from the book of Daniel (kids love those!), but I missed so much of the rich wisdom of the prophets, largely because I didn't know the historical background. Going through the whole Bible with Bible Project reading plan in You version, I began to understand these more as I learned the context. I look forward to learning more this year as I read & study the Bible by understanding the genres, and specifically how these ancient Hebrews wrote. For example, I am one of those people who did erroneously think (for too long!) that prophets were like fortune tellers, LOL. Thank you, Bible Project!
Also, the animation is SO beautiful! Such a joy to watch these.
Wow love it! Well told as always but as an art history buff, I loved the visual references to Van Gogh, Cezanne, Matisse & general fauvistic vibe going on just brilliant! Bravo & grace & peace to all involved! Been really praying for you all!!
I've noticed these references as well, and I'm glad that The Bible Project used these to project their biblical message with immense visual impact. But I wonder if there's a reason why different art movements are associated with different focus points, such as Fauvism (Matisse)-Accusation, and Post-Impressionism (Van Gogh)-Day of the Lord.
Are these combinations made just for aesthetic purposes, or could there be a specific reason behind each match?
Although I'm an Atheist the animation and art style is amazing, keep up the work!
Honestly, just curious, what brings you to videos such as these?
Milton R. Oquendo I like to test my beliefs and learn about other religions, especially the one I joined only a few days after my birth.
God bless 😇
God bless you
ApeX D34ST I see, very interesting. If you would like to continue your research into the Christian worldview, I recommend you also look up Ravi Zacharias and his ministry (RZIM). Faith, of course, is indispensable for Christianity, but this resource could also help you see how rational believing in Christ and His teachings can be.
Many blessings to you. 🙏🏻
I like that term, "covenant lawyers." A rebuke from God is a blessing. The humble will (did) accept it.
I love you girls
crooked liars. coveant lawwyers my butt. Satanic sorcery of the rabbis who took Daniel out of thier canon. No wonder hlocasts keep happening. God is not mocked.
*We need God's prophets once again*
All believers in Christ ARE His prophets.
God is still raising up prophets today in these last days!!!!
They are here but only few listens. Just like before, shunned by many.
The days of prophecy are over. Study your Bibles! Everything you need to know is in there.
Right, Dextruider, because all of the gifts of the Spirit are still in operation...but not in enough places.
Because we have many false teachers (like Nycutie4ever).
They look at their dead churches and say, "There's no gifts operating here, so God must have ended that stuff. I'll try and find a verse to justify this belief."
So the badly mangle 1 Cor. 13, which says IN HEAVEN we won't need the incomplete gifts (such as tongues and prophecy) because we'll have complete means of communication.
This will happen, as the passage says, when we see Jesus "FACE TO FACE"!
I’ll always be grateful to God for giving you guys this extraordinary talent. God bless 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I just love your work
I am just in awe by this animation choice and editing, may God bless you two and all the amazing people that contribute to the making of these videos, and all you viewers out there as well.
Loving the Van Gogh-esque strokes in the animation style here. The art in these videos is always excellence, and I enjoy seeing the different styles they try. They put actual thought and effort into making them beautiful as well as informative and I really appreciate that. It's quite refreshing.
beautiful, my heart is so happy listening to your story
Guys, I love your dedication to simplify the bible in such a way (not that it is in any way) for betterment of the journey. Thank you so much!
This is not only beautiful, but also incredibly clear and easy to understand! Thank you so much ❤
I love these videos! Thanks for helping me to understand the Bible much better!
SO GOOD!!!! THANK YOU!
The Lord has given you a beautiful gift to share the word of God with all of us🕊✝️♥️🙏🏼🕊🙏🏼✝️ God bless you thank you for sharing the art is beautiful also.Amazing‼️Glory will to God 🕊Jesus Loves you♥️🕊🕊🕊
Wow what a visual feast, a life's triumph for the artist(s). And solid help to understand difficult stuff
Love from Canada
Henri Matisse and Van Gogh quotations were cool ;) great job!
Absolutely love this video!! I have been spending 1-2 hours per day in my devotions studying the O.T. prophets for the past year, spending roughly a month on each book. Thanks!
I love, love, love your illustrated messages. They really bring the Holy Word of God to life & give greater understanding. Thank you Bible Project for your hard work & dedication to glorify our Savior. 🙌🏻 ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻 🙏🏻
All I can say is a big thanks! I have life application study Bible which had character profiles your videos are certainly going to help all of us! God bless you both and your team!!
Love the Van Gogh art style! What softwares do you guys use for animating? 👊🏻
Starry Night on steroids!
Hi Duncan! We use almost the entirety of the Adobe Creative Suite, TV Paint, sometimes Maya and Cinema 4D.
I get so excited each time a see a new video from you! Thanks guys :)
i dont enjoy reading but your videos really give me excitement, question, ideas that motivates me to read bible to know God.
your works are all good to get kids attention while teaching them the history on the Bible
I want to thank The Bible project since I am a new subscriber for your videos because it helps us (especially me) understand the bible more and hopefully more people who are not in contact with God or have lost touch with God will find their way back by watching these videos and be inclined to reading the bible. These videos have helped me understand so far (out of the few that I've seen) that the bible is an AMAZING book that sadly we really don't understand when we think we do. There's so much more to the bible because of all the hidden meanings and lessons within it that it will take us all our life to try to understand the bible and thats why we read it more than once. And also thats why we have more than one teacher to help us understand the Bible in different perspectives. I love the simplicity of explanations of the bible so even kids can understand and the animation is just perfect in my opinion. Putting these videos together must take long hours and i give you guy props. Thanks so much again for your awesome video and I will forever be looking and waiting for your next videos to come!
I think everybody should watch your videos and understand the Bible in the superb way is presented here. Great job!
I've seen really beautiful videos here before, but this is one of my favorites now, because of the message and the video itself; is amazing.
I thank God for the bible project and thank you guys, you do such an amazing work :)
thank you for getting God's word out! I use you all the time in teaching the word.
Hallelujah to Jesus
Incredible work yet again gentlemen, and all those brothers and sisters working behind he scenes. Thank you for this ministry in Jesus’ Name. I love these brushstroke overviews. A real blessing. Speaking of brushstrokes, I like the integration of van Gogh style there. Nice.
Hello everyone my name is Samual...and I'm literally a prophet of God..I saw God..and ezekiels wheels from the Bible.20 ft away and 20 ft off the ground..it happened in buna Texas in the 80s..I was 10 yrs old..most amazing thing I've ever beheld ...it actually stopped the vehicle I was in .
Apocalyptic visionary Daniel. 😊 It has a ring to it.
I watched all twelve of the videos. They are great! Thanks for doing this project. Very helpful!
Is it possible to inform us of who the animator is behind your videos? I really appreciate it for how well done it is.
Satan IS . Rev 2:9 3:9. ThisWICKED cult that removed Daniel from its prophets when Jesus said Daniel is a prophet. A cult of SATAN AND ANTICHRISTS.1 John 2:22-23.
The visuals coupled with the sound design is mind blowing...absolutely mind blowing...God bless Bible Project and glory be to our God!!!
You guys are amazing! I promise you! Your hard work and dedication is not in vain! My understanding of the word God and the structure of the Bible has sky rocketed since watching your videos! I've now watched every single one! Forever be encouraged friends! God Bless.
Man, you guys are so professional, excellent, and brilliant! The animations are better than ever, the content is meaningful and important. Thank you so much for your AMAZING work!

Hahhaha 😂 this killed me ahhaha so unexpected
I was so shocked I had no idea Isaiah did that 😂

Blessed and Inspired♥️ keep up the wonderful work🔥 God bless!
Dude I can see the animation have gone next level, compared to your previous videos. I love it. Big thanks to them. :) It really makes the video more interesting.
Bless the Lord God, and let His name endure forever. Love your Channel and your work keep it up.
The Lord sure is a mystery!
No he is not. He has revealed himself and his ways through his Word, and his Son Jesus, which is the Word. John 1:1.
Infinite Truth is indeed a mystery in this world of limitation.
But I have the answers, as best we can understand.
GOD's prophet, the prophesied return of Elijah (just so you know), speaks:
I loved this video. It hit "nails" on "heads." And I might add that much of the Bible is symbolic, which is why most people think they know things that they don't know (from their study of Scripture)...which is why GOD's prophets are never recognized or accepted by most of their contemporaries.
So, take it or leave it, here's your chance to hear GOD's message, the Good News of Yeshua One with Christ ("Jesus Christ"), as brought once again to this world's attention by GOD Itself...this time through its prophet, the prophesied return of Elijah, who came even earlier as Moses, and later as John the Baptist, and comes this time as the "Two Witnesses" of Revelation:
"The Book of GOD" at A Course in Truth.
I don't receive TH-cam comment notifications, but seekers can easily find me.
My favourite channel.... explanation is so clear and precise.....just a suggestion can you all make some videos on individual David, Solomon, Abraham etc...
I never miss any of your videos ❤️❤️
Now I know all about the prophets or the “representatives of God.” Amazing! ❤️✝️🙏🏻
Definitely by far the best channel on youtube love the videos
Hello from Ireland!
Will you guys do a series, or an episode, on the Deuterocanonical books?
I love the Bible Project.... You guys are so amazing. You break down the big chapters into small digestible chunks that any lay man can understand. I just love your work...Thank You so much for these videos.
Thanks for making these videos! Love them
Do a video on the “sons of God” in the Old Testament
HYPE!
Thanks once again for what y’all do. You break it down Barney style so easy for me to get deep into the WORD. You guys and your work are a great blessing to all of us.
Each wave of prophets had a clearer revelation of The Word. Awesome Guys.
Me listening: "Ohhhh. Wooooah. Oh my goodness, so that's what this meant!!" 👍👍
Why hasn't Daniel been listed??
Excited🙏🙏🙏 God Bless Team @BiblEProject
Had to watch the video twice, you guys are really blessed. You have an understanding some of us fear to have
Hi, I guess I'm first...
Lol this is cool right?!
the first shall be last :)

Vincent Van Gogh painted several parts of this episode 🤓
I so enjoy these videos that I don't want this devotional to end. Thanks guys!
A great help as a high level synopsis of the prohetic cohort, their mussion and messaging. Thankyou Bible Project. God Bless You. You are Blessed
Love this channel! Check out the podcast for more in-depth conversation and the website for resources! I do wish for more workbooks like the Heaven and Earth.
why has someone already disliked it?
Unbelievers or by an accident?
Tim Mackie has a more modern take on Christianity which would bother more old fashioned folk. They might see the Bible project as misleading people. Sadly this is common everywhere in the Christian faith
@Lil Jello IKR!
One cannot please all people...agreeing to agree was part of Second Temple Judaism and debate was important. The essence of interpretation was not that there was a right way or a wrong way - except how many ways can we look at this and agree to disagree...and take what seems the best way forward that links in with the rest of the text. We need to stop being too rigid.

I am absolutely in awe of the illustration. Wow. Thank you so much for these.
This is so beautiful... Vincent Van Gogh's starry night-esque representation!
End is near ...
Denko the end is here.
My whole life I thought Daniel was a major prophet. He wasn't listed as major or minor? Am I missing something? Would love to be enlightened here.
Hi! Check out our pinned response.
A most amazing thing occurs in the ninth chapter of Daniel: we’re told when Messiah would come. But instead of explaining it to us, our Rabbis curse anyone wanting to find it out: ‘Rabbi Samuel b. Nachmani said in the name (of) Rabbi Jonathan: ‘Blasted be the bones of those who calculate the end.’ Talmud ,Sanhedrin97b).
Some of our Rabbis, in a further attempt to keep us from Daniel, even state that Daniel was wrong. Alfred Edersheim, a Talmudic scholar who would come to know Messiah said, ‘later Rabbinism, which, naturally enough, could not find its way through the Messianic prophecies of the book, declared that even Daniel was mistaken’?
this curse is found in the Talmud ( Sanhedrin 97b). The lame excuse for the curse is that the rabbis feared that it would cause unrest among the people if they actually knew the time of Messiah's coming. Therefore the Talmud teaching has kept Jews from their Messiah for 2000 years now. Further Talmudic rabbinic doctrine discourages the students of Judaism from studying the timing of Messiah's coming, claiming Messiah comes "unawares", and if Jewish students actually study these things, by doing so, they are hindering his arrival.?
I love your channel. Its the truth with a breath of fresh air. Also your production values are amazing!
Your videos are always so brilliant, thank you for what you're doing!!!
Catholics here
Hope you convert soon and come to Jesus christ and be baptized in Jesus name for the remission of your sin and be filled with the Holy Ghost and speak in tongues
What you do it's a piece of art! Congratilations, I'm amazed by all the work you guys do to do this videos!!
Love the new animation. This makes me wanna go read about the prophets now. I'll have a better understanding
You guys do such a fantastic job summing up the books of the Bible! I used this often as a teacher!
