Oh, don't waste your time reading the book your body & soul revolve around. Let other people tell you what's in it. Actually it's 2021 ( no Jesus ain't back yet). You don't even have to read the book. There are many audio bibles in various translations you can listen to the whole thing for free.
I started studying the Bible just about five years ago (~2019). Your channel was one of the most instrumental in helping me to quickly absorb the concepts and vital messages of Scripture, especially because I have chosen to use the KJV version which has antiquated language but I have a sense that it may preserve more of the truth then the more updated versions, just by virtue of Translation. I struggled with Genesis and the other books of the Old Testament until I encountered your channel. Thank you for putting these works together. It is wonderful to return at any time and be able to run your concise presentations to help me with my continuing studies. You are a blessing!
Great overview. I've decided to read the bible cover to cover, and just finished genesis, in about a week. Was look to reinforce some of its ideas and concepts. Thanks again!
You pointed out a lot of parallels I hadn't noticed. For example, humanity starts out in a Garden Temple where they coexist with God. Later, after their separation, they try to build a temple that reaches heaven to be in God's realm. The idea of God cleansing the world with the waters of the flood got me thinking. Waters are used as a means of physical and spiritual cleansing, and that is echoed later in Jewish purification rituals and in baptism.
There's another parallel to the Tower of Babel that was just too intricate to make this video: Jacob's ladder. In the Tower of Babel story: - Humans are united - Humans seek to build a name for themselves - Humans build their own tower/temple to reach heaven - God divides them - This takes place in Babylon But in Jacob's dream in Genesis 28: - The family of Isaac is divided - God extends the blessings of Abraham to Jacob (including a "great name") - Jacob sees a tower already existing between God and earth - God promises to "spread out" Jacob's descendants, to bless all the nations (which will unite them) - This takes place in Canaan (Bethel, the "house of God")
Good job! I enjoyed this lesson with my high school graduate as part of our introduction to the Bible on this next level of Bible Study. Thank you. I also like your methods.
these are SO HELPFUL. i have reread this book so many times and appreciate the deep dive you’ve done to bring greater understanding. many thanks to you!! God bless!!
I just found your website and I'm loving these. I'm putting together a student ministry teaching where we do a quick synopsis of books of the bible and your content is super helpful. Thank you
Absolutely love these book overview videos! I've been using your videos to add a summary page to my bible. They are soooo clear and helpful, and are such a blessing to many. Can you PLEASE update with the rest of the books.
Glad I found this having read up to Ch 12 of Genesis without any prior historical background study. That puts it all into perspective. Great presentation. I took lots of notes and am sure this will help me greatly when reading on. Thank you so much and God bless!
man you write down such huge information just for explaining it to others.. thank you and I just started watching you videos, really helped me a lot in understanding Bible.
What a great analysis. I just finished Genesis. Its like I feel God in the room with me, but its such a complex piece that this additional info really helps a lot to digest it. I also read it in one day...my head is spinning.
I really like your channel! My son has been really curious about the bible so we've been trying to find somewhere to learn more but there is just so much information it is beyond overwhelming. So thanks so much for the awesome videos! I don't know whether I have faith or not but nonetheless, I love learning about all the stories.
Since GOD IS THE Creator of All Things we must hold Him up in Reverence and not treat Him as though He is some Thing that Created All Things. He is not to be generalized but held up in Highest Esteem because He is The Almighty, The Most High, Our Elohim, and Sovereign King.👏🏽 Praise Him for His Love for mankind. Let’s Glorify Him! Hallelujah!
Wasn't selling Joseph a good idea from Judah? Since the brothers actually wanted to murder him, instead Judah came with the alternative to sell him. This kept Joseph alive without him getting brutally beaten by his brothers.
It was and it was revealed as part of God's divine plan. Joseph was sold into slavery so he could be in power in Egypt during the time of famine. He saved many people by doing so. It's an amazing story!
Excellent presentation 👏 thanks for explaining 👍 👏 😀 the Genesis story. Best of Luck with the rest of your videos 📹 on you tube take care. 👍 😎 😇 👼 🙏 🤲 🕍 My favorite stories of Genesis is Kane & Abel, Abraham & Issac and of course Joesph and his brothers with the lessons of great forgiveness. I also enjoyed the story of the Tower of Babel which, is where I think 🤔 the Lord explains the different cultures we have today and why they are all different and similar in many ways.
Random people "scribes" who never spoke with god or Moses put it together, got it! I sure was looking forward to that good bible magic and imagination though. It really is the greatest story ever told.
I was aware that Joseph was often compared to Jesus for his loyalty to God, and for his position as a ruler and savior. But somehow it never occured to me that Judah was similar in that he offered to sacrifice himself for his brother! I'm also curious about your opinions on Reuben, who was willing to sacrifice his sons if he could not return to his father with Benjamin.
Realizing this is a quick review, I personally would have made some comments to introduce, explain satan, and his subtle influence and his demons, who misdirect mankind's / Israel's missteps away from the Lord.
Jacob doesn’t trick Esau, he gave him food in exchange for his birthright. I would agree that it was a sinful thing to do, but he didn’t trick him. The Bible doesn’t even insinuate that he was tricked. You can speculate all you want, and you can have whatever view on the matter, but what simply happened is that a transaction took place.
Thank you for your explanation. That was very helpful. I believe there are many versions of the bible and also many chapters hidden. So how do we know which is the right one and where do we start? So many things have revealed themselves in the recent times that I'm sure there is a God who's watching us. But also the devil is deceiving us and trying to get us by acting like he's God. I don't want to listen to the false God.
I just wish it went into a little more detail. For instance, it says that Adam and Eve had their two sons, then Cain kills Abel, and suddenly there is a whole city full of people. Where did these other people come from? Did God create more people that just didn't get detailed in the book? Was there a whole lot of serious incest going on? It's very frustrating to me how Genesis is written. Major events are laid out in just one or two sentences. I wish we knew more.
Of course they aren't. Chapter 3 has the serpent figure, chapter 6 has the Nephilim. Both map to some degree of divine malfeasance, but they'd need their own dedicated video (or series) to address this at length.
@@OverviewBible Interesting- Sorry if my question came off as blunt and accusatory by the way.

We are made in his image, Its literal not figurative. We are literally made in his image, its not figurative at all, I'm not certain why people interpret it as such.
How you doing Dani its in my heart to share this with you. It is true and facts that we are all created in the Image of God. The Bible say God is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. We are a spirit who's covered with a body we posses a soul but the real is the inside: the spirit. The flesh is just a cover. The Bible say the Word is God and made flesh who is Jesus Christ: John 1:14. In order for God Spirit to walk on the earth and do the sacrifice for us He had to come through the Body of His Son. Or else He couldn't have been seen and do the sacrifice for us. So Jesus is the Image of the Father and we are made in the Image of the Father. Jesus had emotions, the Spirit and a Body. In John 14:8-9 reveals to us hat Jesus is God. And in genesis it sa John 14:8-9 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”9Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? John 4:24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth
