Bruce Gore, I appreciate all the time and effort you put into giving these lectures. It is very clear that you are fulfilling your calling as a teacher. Thank you for posting them so people like me can be blessed by them!
"The greatest liberty ironically that we will ever experience is when we absolutely declare that Christ is my king, God is my sovereign and He utterly commands my life by His rightful authority and there in that apparent slavery(being slave of righteousness) in the greatest freedom we can ever discover" Amen Thank you very much brother Bruce, your lecture is helpful to me, especially in my preparation for our church's Bible Class about OT history. Its truly a wonderful presentation and praise God for this material.
I cannot tell you how elated I am to have found your videos, I have recently taken an interest in ancient history, but more along the side of biblical events. And all the videos I kept finding were very secular and liberal. May God bless your ministry and may the Holy Spirit keep giving you the inspiration and the wisdom to carry out his Word.
I have wanted to attend bible school and also political science school and I find both here represented! You do a brilliant job sir, may God bless you and your house!
I love it "everyone goes quiet" matches Joshua 21:43&44 So the LORD gave Israel all the land that He had sworn to give to their fathers and they possessed it and dwelt therein...44 and the LORD gave them rest round about...45 Therefailed nought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel: All came to pass.
When I was deployed to Iraq, my interpreter was an Assyrian...God is amazing...this Assyrian and his his people, are largely Christian..his family for sure God took the most wicked and barbarous people of the ancient times, and turned them into loyal Brothers of Christ..what a redemption arc!
Thanks for that, and thanks for your service. Some time back I got a message from a Christian Assyrian, who quipped that he attributed his faith to the long term effects of Jonah's ministry! Could be!
From what I understand and have read in the Bible in Isaiah chapter 19...it says Assyria my hand ...Israel my inheritance and Egypt my people. How can you call them wicked and barbaric.....
A scholarly question sir. What's your estimate of the time delineation between Abraham rescuing Lot and the destruction of Sodam and Gamora. Any ideas on that?
This has been an enriching, and dare I say fun, series to enjoy on my mornings. About David's plans to build the temple, wasn't he disqualified by counting the fighting men during a time of peace?
That was certainly a misstep on David's part, but it was generally understood that David had been a man of war and his son Solomon (from Shalom) would be a ruler of peace, more fitting for building the temple.
@@GoreBruce Yes, I was misremembering 2 Samuel 7 and 22 when I made my original comment. Thanks for reminding me to check Scripture before I comment, and I appreciate your ongoing engagement with the comments on your videos!
Thank you Mr. Gore for these lectures. If you ever plan a new edition on the bible in history lectures, you may want to note that the common Assyrian king name Shalman-ezer is the same name as Solomon in the bible. Peace be with you.
The ethnicity of Chedorlaomer remains a matter of speculation. As far as I know, there are no specific ancient historical records of the ruler outside the Old Testament itself. I may have overstated the point a bit in the presentation.
2 Chronicles 22:7 (KJV) 7 And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

Thank you for the great sermon and biblical insight. We Assyrians are among the first converts to Christianity. We still speak the language of Christ (Aramaic). We spread the gospel from the middle east to China where remnants of Assyrian Christian monuments remain to this day. We number 4 to 5 million world wide.
Richard Noel Hedditch David was from the tribe of Judah. Are you saying that no other tribes survive today? What about those being trained to act as priests should Israel ever get a third temple? They are supposedly from the tribe of Levi. I think there's evidence that other tribes have survived as well, though no doubt, much mixing with other people groups has occurred.
The best resource for this information is the primary texts provided by James B. Pritchard in his several volumes on the subject. A good place to start is: www.amazon.com/Ancient-Near-East-Anthology-Pictures/dp/0691002002/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1486562472&sr=8-2&keywords=JAMES+B+PRITCHARD Thanks for your interest.
A little disappointed more attention wasnt given to that dark age. Eric Cline presents a comprehensive argument with evidence for what may have occured. Check out his 1177 lecture if you havent time for the book.
Not sure of the question. Ahab was the son of Omri. Jehoram (or, Joram) was the son of Ahab. Jehoram was killed in a purge led by Jehu, the commander his army. Jehu then took the throne of Israel.
ibGib this is the period where the bible is silent. But I am curious because Hosea mentioned that God will avenge the house of Jehu for Jezreel. But I don’t understand because God was the one ordaining it and Jehu was blessed at the end. And Amos was prophesying against the house of Hazael. Which makes me wonder as well. Why did God ordain Hazael to be King if he’s going to walk against his will? Or was that his will in the first place to fight against Israel?
What do you think of the theory that the reason for the Israelite rise and brief period of glory came as a result of the vacuum created by the collapse of the great Middle Eastern civilizations around the year 1,200 BCE? It seems that only Egypt survived that collapse, and only barely. Which may explain why the Jews decided to start their history with a showdown against Egypt.
Remember Solomon was not full of The Holy Ghost at that time, and the gifts of God are without repentance and again God gives you the freewill, He will never force you. You are certainly full of The Holy Ghost, yielding yourself to The Holy Spirit ( our comforter, teacher, our wisdom..) therefore you have a great advantage over Solomon, you have the greatest kind of wisdom “ Epignosis” . James1:5 James 3:13-18; 1Corinthians2:6-16 Christ in you Victor , the hope of glory. Jesus Christ loves you Victor. Shalom brother.
By simple logic, Israel thrived because there was a vacuum of threats from outside during the "dark age", not the other way around. But I guess religious point of view would say that God caused the vacuum. Also the allowance of worshiping in the backyards in Israel was a political move to prevent from worshipers to jave to leave Israel and go to Jerusalem in Jehuda, a somewhat competitive neighbor. P.s I enjoy your lectures a lot, thank you for uploading!
Dude sounds like he is always annoyed, but has a lot of interesting information. So, at least for me, it was worth putting up with the annoying delivery to get the information.
RE: Building The House- FOR THE NAME OF YAHWEH: (1Chron,22.10 He -Solomon shall build an House for My Name) As in verse :7 "And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house for (Hebrew- YAHWEH Elohim!) Indeed- this whole process was COMMANDED back in (Deut.12.3-) and through tragedy David will 'find'- THE PLACE 1Kgs 24.17- and thus Solomon will build-The House of YAHWEH! But, 'Av Kovish'- its ALL a 'shadow-pic' to Not 'Jesus'- but Yeshua/Yehoshua Ha Messiah as his name is and says = YAHWEH's Salvation! As Solomon was 'overcome' with permitting Israel to worship "other gods" (As Eve was seduced!) All of the above transition to total prophetic completion of (2Sam 7.13- Jesus/Yehoshua Begins!) The Name of YAHWEH will be glorified and used daily by Everyone (2Sam 6.18-) until about 630BCE Jeremiah/YirmiYAH= YAH/YAHWEH Will Rise!. Then Phariseeic 'movement' will substitute the generic Title of Adonai-LORD!! Indeed, ALL prophets, kings , priests and many common people had variations of YAHWEH in their own name! ie. Elijah Really EliYAH- My Almighty YAH/YAHWEH. Consider- (Mal.4.6 Not Elijah but EliYAH returns before Yehoshua/Jesus' Return as Everyone will Learn The Name of YAHWEH (YirmiYAH 16;18- & Mat/MattitYAH -Gift of YAH/YAHWEH 23.39 "Blesses is he who comes In The Name of YAHWEH- as "written" in Hebrew despite Western substitutions!) Today in America and throughout Christian history- many 'Golden calves' have ben substituted, indeed, our history parallels ancient Israel remarkably closely. At time of Messiah Yehoshua- the new converts that used the Name YAHWEH foooor Yehoshua Messiah taught them were persecuted for this in Israel! (Ps.22.22 = Jn.17.12 Yehokanan=YAHWEH's Grace ) This is one reason as the gentiles started to come into Yehoshua Messiah they could 'easily' shed A Hebrew YAHWEH for a Greek- Theo/Theon- Yehoshua to Isous, Esus- J esus and thereby, as in Yereboam's reign New Calves were introduced and today Main Stream Christianity has little to No idea of 1ST. Century Jewish Believers and who even is- YAHWEH- The Creator!!!!!! The next few years will clarify all of this as (Mat.24.6 'signs' ARE NOW upon us all!). HalleluYAH!
"Liberal scholars"? I've never heard any historian bringing modern politics into their work. I assume you just mean historians who treat Biblical myth in the same manner as all the other ancient mythologies. As any rational scientist would do. This politicization of my old religion is how you got that evil orange golem and why I left the church.
Dude stick to real history not Biblical BS. What are the sources for Biblical stories? Who wrote them? When I was earning my history in the mid-late 90’s we had to cite multiple sources for papers and dissertations. And the Hurrians spoke an Eastern Indo-European language and not a language as “we do” - we wouldn’t be able to understand those people speaking only our modern English!!
Thanks for the feedback. On Assyrian history, please see: Rogers, Robert William, The History of Assyria, Charles River Editors. With respect to Indo-European Languages, consult Mallory, J.P.: In Search of the Indo-Europeans, Language, Archaeology and Myth, Thames and Hudson, 1991.
Ur was occupied by the Chaldeans (first descendants of Arpaxshad), while Uruk (Arach) belonged to the Sumerians (Shinar) - Ur of the Chaldeans, from which Abraham came, and they originated in Ararat, near anatolia. Ashur (Assyria) was another distinct Semitic race. The Amorites were a Canaanite race, which conquered the Sumerian kingdom of Babylon. The Hurrian kingdom of Mitanni, despite having a distinct non-Semitic language, descended from the Aramean race, Hul, whose descendants founded Armenia. Ashur was the name of the Semitic Assyrian race, and as usual, the gentiles created a deity, named After their human ancestor.
The Philistines ( Pelasgians = haplogroup e-v13) were sea peoples who came from an Egyptian race called the Caslukhites, who settled near the Greeks (Javan) in the isles, as Crete, Sicily and Sardinia, therefore shared cultural traits with the Greeks, and were later called Illyrians, but were not the same race as the Japhetic race as the Greeks (Ionians = haplogroups J2a, J2b). Wrong. Jehu's bowing has nothing to do with what you said - it is simply a humble respect for the designated foreign empire that ruled by God's decree, and there is nothing wrong with it - he is not bowing to a pagan God, and isn't trying to escape from the God of Israel.

Bruce I have not been able to confirm that King Chedorlaomer was an Amorite. Do you have a source for that point?
The ethnicity of Chedorlaomer remains a matter of speculation. As far as I know, there are no specific ancient historical records of the ruler outside the Old Testament itself. I may have overstated the point a bit in the presentation.
A lot of the names u mention, I recognise as David Rohl has also mentioned in his lectures on the Exodus 1445 BC.
why is there mention of Midians and Micineans etc but we aren't tracking the growth or existence of Esau's lineage?
So is Esau's line that of the Midians and micinesns?
God even told them they were tired of him.
May Father YAHweh bless your understanding.
