I was reading Nehemiah just the last couple of days, and when he described in GREAT DETAIL, the rebuilding of the wall, I said to myself; "WELL WHY CAN'T THEY FIND THE TOMBS OF THE KINGS?" Then tonight I discover this channel!!! Now, that was a "God THING!!!"
Absolutely love this channel. I was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy and I'm now 100% disabled. I've always had a fascination for lost treasure. But, around 10 years ago, I dedicated my reading to finding or solving lost Biblical Archeology. There are so many trails I've been down. If you ever need a researcher or someone to study something, feel free to ask.
Hi, sorry to hear about your illness, I would like to mention that I had a classmate has the same illness and he went to China and had stemcell treatment which helped him kee his head upright. I have 2 boys with autism and did 3 shots stemcell which has improved their condition. If you need more info let me know can forward to you. Take care Godbless
@ariefsheik1716 I've tried them. They worked for a couple months, but ultimately ended back up where I was. The best results I've found is, just don't give up and give yourself to Christ. This is not my life. My life will be eternal. Thanks you.
@@ariefsheik1716 a disabled person shows there true love for God. Each lesson teaches us some give to us some take from us but how we recover is what truly matters
@@rickysneaks7424"this is not my life. My life will be eternal." Such an inspirational outlook. Thank you for sharing your strong faith. I'm right there with you, my friend. This life is but a blink before we awake in eternity. Can't wait.
I'm a "newish" Christian. I've gotten most of the Bible read. I am fascinated at the way you can verbalize what certain parts of the Bible mean. I appreciate that.....thank you so much!!! God Bless.
I really like the adventure Bible. It's actually for youth. There are lessons to explain the reading. It's fun, awesome, and informative. Charles Stanley daily study Bible is also awesome. You can read the whole Bible in a year in 20ish minutes a day
Blessings to you, Kell. I found it very useful to read the books if King's and Chronicles simultaneously, cross referencing as I went. You may be at a more advanced stage than that.... G Ire
Keep reading your bible. The NLT is great for new Christians, easy to read and understand. After a few years you can move to a NKJ or another more literal translation. Welcome to the family
I’m hooked. How u take the difficult architecture verbiage and break it down is awesome. I’m learning so so much. Thank u. Jesus saved my life!! Praise Jesus!!
I “accidentally” found Expedition Bible channel led by this man of God and have been watching all of his videos. Not boring, precise and concise best way I find to characterize them. Imagine I started teaching about David to children in Sunday school (I’m being schooled 😄). This is so timing and wonderful. Thank you, Lord. Learning never ends. Continue to seek God, consistently and devotedly. May His mercy and grace be with you. Amen
Sir when it comes to the Lord God Almighty nothing is by accident it is all my design. So by saying this I believe that you were actually guided to this channel. When you are seeking him at a point in time in your life and you've asked a question with no one else around God's will hear it and he always answers. Never in a negative way and always in a positive way. Jesus said I am the life the truth and the way. He also said he is the light of the world. Which shall shine in darkness in his light shines brighter than all things his light has shown where you hear and guided you for a reason, by Design his design and his is perfect. Ours has not been perfected yet. That time is to come. At the second coming of the Messiah. God bless you all always and abundantly in Christ Jesus holy name amen amen amen
@@douglashall2141 You are 100% correct. Any of my questions about and on the Bible have been answered days after it appeared even if I almost did not ask God but just have it in my heart and even was not that eager to know the answer. But for the prayers of other things, some of them has He realized while most of them seemed not to agree with me. But I am always content with this because I trust in Him and that He always gives me the best, and because I know very clearly that comparing with His love, might and wisdom, all mines are as low as nothing. He is the Lord or Master, and so obeying to His arrangement is the best for any His followers.
@@wangmary888 I pray for discernment for you which is the spirit of understanding as well as knowledge and wisdom. So that he may guide you always. And discerning and all things. Jesus said you must be reborn. Of the blood and the water. The blood is represented as the Holy Spirit Christ gave his blood for us on the cross is sacrificed to the Gentiles to being grafted with the Jews in that we have that choice then to choose to follow Christ Jesus and accept his forgiveness and mercy. They're in receiving the holy spirit the comforter. In Christ Jesus holy name amen amen amen.
My God... The last part had my heart leaping and my hairs standing up..... The beauty of the Bible unfolding.... Even in these days.... Jesus come back soon... Waiting for u....
Jesus explicitly said he would return during the lifetime of the apostles. Matthew 16:27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done. 28 I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” This can't be referring to the transfiguration a day or two later. Everyone was alive and there are no angels and no judgement to reward anyone. For the same reason it can't be referring to Pentecost either. There were no angels and no judgement. It happened in AD 70 with the fall of Jerusalem. Some of the apostles (we know John was for sure) were still alive at that event. Jesus said he would return during his apostles' generation. Matt. 24:1 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “I tell you the truth, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.” (Reference to the destruction of the temple in AD 70) Matt. 24:3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” (Jesus' coming was understood to be tied to the end of the Old Covenant age.) Matt. 24:4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. (apostles) 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains. (All happened in the first century leading up to the fall of Jerusalem.) Matt. 24:9 “Then you (apostles) will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. (The apostasy of the Judaizers and proclamation to all nations was fulfilled in the first century. Rom. 10:18; 16:26; Col. 1:6; 1:23) Matt. 24:15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel-let the reader understand- 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now-and never to be equaled again. 22 If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect-if that were possible. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time. (Daniel's prophesy was fulfilled by the fall of Jerusalem. The abomination that causes desolation were the Roman armies that surrounded Jerusalem. See the parallel passage of Luke 21:20-23) Matt. 24:26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the desert,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather. (Refers to the slaughter of the Jews in the fall of Jerusalem.) Matt. 24:29 “Immediately after the distress of those days “ ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. (Metaphorical apocalyptic language about the fate of the Jewish leadership.) ’Matt. 24:30 “At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. (The resurrection in conjunction with the fall of Jerusalem.) Matt. 24:32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. 34 I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. (This generation is the apostles' generation, not any other generation. The Old Covenant temple (known as heaven and earth) was destroyed and the New Covenant kingdom was consummated with the opening of the doors of heaven for the dead.) James understood Jesus well. He read the signs and told them the Lord was near, right at the door in their generation. James 5:9 Don’t grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door! So there is convincing evidence for Christ's predictions of his return in conjunction with the end of the Old Covenant age and fall of Jerusalem. Considering the dead were raised in spiritual bodies rather than physical ones we shouldn't expect to have any visual record of it but must take it on faith to have occurred.
Why would God Excavate our hearts and minds and eyes to stumble across this video mostly all around the same time, how does that happen and why does that happen...Amazing.. Thank you Jesus.. In this hour in this season on so many levels He is bringing the bride of Christ together on so many levels 🙌
Amen, me too. But in the kingdom, during Messiah's reign, it will be! Let's work together to keep one another ready for His return, and spread the word so that the King's banquet may be filled. I look forward to meeting you there! :^ )
I agree & look how much people are doing crazy cuz each generation we know less & less abt GOD, now we at the ending times & it’s horrible scary for alot of people & absolutely dangerous
Your work and your ability to convey a story, a message that is true in it's intent as a Christian is really remarkable, Joel. Thank you for sharing it here. God bless you and your work. D
If you think of how many times Jerusalem was destroyed since King David passed away, it makes sense. After a while, the people remember where they came from when they are carried away, but they don’t remember their history.
I love watching videos like this showing places from in the Bible. So glad you can actually go there and see with your own eyes and also allow us to see as well. Really great work and how you describe everything. Thank you !!!
I was fascinated to see your explanation of the tomb and the reading of Psalm 16. Another Prophesy of Jesus Christ our Savior ! How exciting it would be to be there, in that place, hearing that scripture........yet everyone in the camera view looked more than UN-enthused about the Bible verse < I would have been lit up like a roman candle with Praise ! WOOOOOOOOO Thank you Jesus !
How could jews have forgotten their most important Kings burial site, here is one possibility. “You (fake Jews) will never be able to live here in peace, because you left here black but came back white. We cannot accept you!” -Gamal Abdel Nasser (Egypt leader 1954 - 1970)
HERE is Our TRUE Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Totally agree with your statements. They were not amazed and astounded at all. Perhaps they were atheists. Walking around while he was speaking. Such disrespect to their guide. Brilliant videos. Love from Britain ❤️🇬🇧
What's hilarious is how often your Bible has been misconstrued actual historical fact. Aliens. What human kind thought of as God is proven to be extraterrestrials this while time. The story of the war in heaven and the fall of the 1/3 host.... theres evidence amongst many non Bible cultures of a fight in space/upper atmosphere.... starting to think that mankind as it is now isn't decendant of monkies... but of extraterrestrial intervention for thousands of years. Original mankind ended with the Neanderthals
Man, I love your videos, It's cool to see video's made by good people and filled with great content, your also good at explaining stuff and you visit the coolest things from the Bible times and I'm really hoping to see plenty more content from you, God bless you! 👍

I too just found this great explanation of Biblical archeologist explaining today’s sites based on the Bible and history! Thank you for sharing and explaining it all to us! Praise our Lord Jesus!
I appreciate and watch your videos because you don’t get all religious and push a certain denominational faith but simply explain facts found strictly in the bible and a bit of archeology. Great videos and info!!!
I really love watching these videos. I learn so much everytime. I may never get a chance to visit the Holy Lands, but that's ok, because it like I'm getting a private tour!! God bless you!!😊🙏
This is a great help for me to fully understand and visualize what I have been reading in the Bible. I am on the Book of Exodus and sometimes jump on to the other Books. This helps me alot to be on an advance reading too.
Update .. received the book...it is EXCELLENT! Very fascinating especially if you love Biblical history and archeology, like I do. Totally recommend this book to everyone!!
I agree, it is incredible to think about, and hard to believe in one sense. Though, many prominent figures who helped shape the world as we know it don't have known graves. For instance, the body of Alexander the Great was originally mummified and preserved for some time, which we know from historical records (there is even a story about Augustus Caesar, the first emperor of Rome, going to honor Alexander at his tomb). But Alexander's tomb was at some point destroyed and his body disappears from records, and some would say that his body was probably also destroyed. It's uncertain exactly what happened to it, though there are theories, and there are even recent discoveries where people claim to have found it. But if it was lost, it could have been due to natural disasters, it could have been due to rioting, it could have been war. Many things can happen over a long enough period of time, and especially in a situation where the people living in an area face a lot of destruction, upheaval and deportation - like they did in Jerusalem - it's not really uncommon to lose things like knowledge about locations, even if they are important. It's almost more rare when that knowledge is successfully preserved. From a scriptural sense too, I wonder if God allowed the location to be lost over time in part to keep people from worshiping David or turning him into an idol, as it seems God did when He hid Moses's body from the people of Israel (Deuteronomy 34:4-6).
Nothing of ancient Jerusalem nor the old City of David, is the same It is still there, but has been rebuilt on top of it all, and more then once, so none of what is there today, is not what was there 2000 + years ago, I don't understand how anyone can say it is the same as it once was, many a wars have battled over Jerusalem leaving it floored to the ground. This is Historical and biblical fact. There are many that lie about the true biblical sites around Jerusalem.
I Just discovered your channel after watching one of Sean McDowell’s interviews with you. As a history buff and a passionate lover of Israel, and God’s chosen people, I am absolutely grateful for your videos! I can’t wait to watch all of them and share them with my children.
I am so bless the verse you were reading in the tomb was found yesterday for the first time in my life in acts 2: 25 to 28 I had to write the comment because it was really necessary thank god and thank you.
@@coleforbes2059 I'm in agreement with you, think you hit a nerve end.ignorance and intolerance appears to be the most common way people argue their own chosen religion
@@coleforbes2059 We only know about the city of David and King David from the Bible. The Bible is literally the number 1 source for archeologists to use to search for the city of David and it's King. You people are so foolish.
@@waynegazard5038 It certainly triggers you that the archeological evidence does not confirm what you believe. And you are desperately looking for people with similar views to support what you believe.
Excellent! Thank you! Nothing is more spiritual than the Psalter. David, the Harp of the Spirit. When you think of the Psalter, it’s the predominant reading of both the Jewish Services and the Orthodox Church. It’s everything. A foundation of faith.
I started watching this channel around a week ago and showed my daughters one of your videos. Since then they have asked to watch "The Jordan man" (because you mentioned Jordan in the video) almost every day.
I'm a geologist but I love biblical archaeology, particularly practiced from the perspective of reverence for the Bible. I'll get your book-are there other good books on biblical archaeology you would recommend?
This 'Bable' book is backed up by absolutely no facts and no evidence for gods! It is not proof for any god(s) The fables are intertwined within historical places and people... eg Egypt and the Pharaohs existed, whereas Moses did NOT exist, and the Exodus did not happen.. ! A 'global' flood never occurred in Geologic history !
@@briendoyle4680 There are eyewitness testimonies across the world confirming that there was a global flood that destroyed the earth. The global flood is real.
Agreed. I’m not a believer, but I’m fascinated by biblical references to archaeology and history that are tangible. It’s sad that all the great writings were destroyed in war and religious conflict. 😟
wow, truly an entertaining and informative series, I've seen three episodes so far and they have all been really well produced and professional. Your approach and examples are absolutely suggestion worthy.
Oh, and I LOVE your videos and use them in teaching Sunday School! So helpful to SEE where what you’re talking about happened. Thank you! I especially love Jesus: The Soul Shepherd!!! Used it yesterday!
Thank you for delivering such fascinating and powerful information. I just bought your book and am excited for your future videos to come. Thank you sir.
The reason you won’t find David’s bones is, he was raised in the first resurrection. When Yeshua was raised the patriarchs were seen roaming Jeruzalem.
Most people don't realize it but John the Baptist and the HOLY SPIRIT (2 witnesses of 1 Body) who prepared the way for the Ministry of the MESSIAH on earth also went ahead of the MESSIAH to the Bosom of Abraham to prepare the way and even when Lazarus was dead for four days he also could testify of the coming of MESSIAH even as he was raised up from Sheol. This is in accordance with the Law of Moses. The dry bones of the members of the bride's GROOM family being made alive wasn't difficult for the Ancient of Days to accomplish for HE was an Immortal being before HE was born and is an Immortal being and even Moses and Elijah had already been translated into Immortality prior to the Cross as shown when the appeared to the LORD and some disciples who sought to build a shelter for them. Now in the future when the two witnesses of chapter 11 of Rev. who are of a singular body body according to the original Greek descend before they ascend that seems to be the time when the Angel of the Second Spiritual Death will bind lucifer for 1000 years and the Angel of the first physical death is said to be the last enemy to be defeated and that would evidently happen at the end of the Millennial Reign after lucifer has been released for a short time prior to the Eternal State.
Hallelujah! Your story radiates with the transformative power of God's love. Your past struggles have become a testimony of His grace, and it's evident that your life is now a living testament to His mercy. May your family continue to flourish, and may your journey inspire others to turn to Jesus for hope and salvation. Amen!
WOW! what a powerful video brother! Thank you for all that you do for the kingdom of God. The Lord surely sees your mighty work for edifying the body of Christ. Loved this video. Very insightful and helped increase my faith in my savior! The bible is true and is the word of God! And the word of God was made flesh and dwelt among us! GOD BLESS!
I've learned about the ancient cities are called 'tells '. Because archeological digs have been finding different layers from previous times that 'Tell ' about the earlier times of that area. Take care and God bless.
Really interesting video! Have never seen, heard or read anything about that tomb and its possible connection with David. I look forward to your next video to see why that is the case.
Despite his sin, David was faithful and a great King, there must have been a great tomb built for such a great man/prophet. I am so grateful for those of old who left us such a legacy to follow. I can't imagine David's bravery and courage as a boy to have volunteered so young to fight a giant muscular giant, approximately 10 ft tall. David's faith would not allow him to accept Goliath's mockery of the one tru God that He knew lived and the God he had grown to know and love. May we all grow to love our great God, so merciful and kind. I love you Lord, bless those of us who believe and have faith in you. Come soon Lord God, the earth is filled with evil, followers of Satan. I have my own sins to account for, I pray for your love and forgiveness. May our Merciful God come and fairly judge our weakness and may we have the strength to forsake our wickedness and serve thee only; Amen.
He is correct when David was speaking in that verse he was speaking of the Messiah the one to come. That was prophetic. The whole time David was being chased by King Saul while he was in the caves as it says if you're reading it and understand he was accompanied by the Holy Spirit. The comforter. Same one that God sent to the disciples after the Ascension of Christ Jesus. The Messiah. Yeshua. Every prophet in the Old Testament prophesied of the coming of the Messiah. The most prominent one was Isaiah. This is the wisdom in the Lord God Almighty. Proverbs 2:6 through 8. Daniel 12 1 through 13
Thank you so much sir for this wonderful hestoric video i really love bible story about all the kings and profits meracle day and events they are experiencing.....thank you so much sir..
My hero is of course the God of Israel who stands behind David and the Son of David. But the picture I have of young David with the army of Israel cowering behind him, the commander of the army whispering with King Saul, and the Almighty at David's back looking at him, as David trusts that there is Strength behind him without needing to see God present at his side, guarding him, as he approaches the champion of a godless nation, a giant among men. David carries with him his staff, a sling and a few smooth stones that he picked up from the brook that day. That is my mental image of David, and it is inspiring to me. If I could paint or draw, that would be my masterpiece, every other drawing would be working up to creating that piece.
There are no accidents with God, period. Feel VERY blessed , and more importantly, thought of, by God Himself that HE cared to show any of us Joel's channel!. Where do you think we get our attention to detail characteristics?. God, Jesus. He cares about the SMALLEST details!!. Including the biggest one, our SOULS!. He wishes NONE would perish! Remember, He said,"Let US make man in OUR image"... Another verse? ,Cast all your cares on HIM, for he cares for you. Hallelujah!!!. Joel, I can't wait to see part two of King David's tomb!!!. I subbed!. Love from Michigan! John 3:16✝️
Wow, it's amazing how uninhabited and accessible, and how much "dirt" could be removed in early 1900s. Waiting for the resurrection of which Jesus is the firstfruits. And still waiting for the Ai video :)
As a researcher, I would not put a name to this tomb. Is it David's tomb? there is enough data to posit a working hypothesis, but lacking anything with a name or even iconography to suggest the house of David, I would not risk my professional reputation on such a claim.
If the Bible is not considered to be a reliable historical source, then no, we do not have adequate confirmation that this is the tomb of David. However, this channel differs from standard academic archeology in that it does understand the Bible to be historically accurate. Using his analogy of a treasure map, if you find a treasure buried in the location a treasure map says it will be found, it's a safe bet that what you have found is what the map referred to, even if there is no note saying, "Congratulations! You found the treasure from that map!"
@@briteness Let me start by saying I have a degree in theology and am attending seminary. Ok, so you appear to misunderstand the nature of how the Bible is a historical source, and you also clearly have never been to Israel. The Bible should not be understood to be a historical record in the modern sense of the word. While the Bible is the unerring word of God, it is not an accurate historical document in the sense that you can read it and say, "yes this is so-and-so's tomb". That was never its intent. There is no way you can read the bible and then walk among the literal thousands of burials in Israel that date to the first temple, and identify a specific one. This tomb has no objective evidence tied to it that would allow such a definitive statement. Is King David buried in Israel? 2 Kings say he is so I must assume that to be correct. But that's all it says. Don't read more into the bible than what's there, thats bad theology and don't read more into an archaeological dig than what is supported by the finds, thats bad science.
@@kennethjohnson4280 Let me start and finish, by saying that I hold an M.A. in Theology as well. I also majored in Religion in college, and have spent decades after school studying as well. Do not accuse me of being an ignorant fool.
