In Numbers, Israel leaves Mt. Sinai only to rebel against God at every step. God responds with short-term severity and long-term generosity as He leads them into the promised land. #Numbers #BibleProject #BibleVideo
Great video! One critique though: Mt. Sinai is quite definitely in modern day Saudi Arabia (Jebel al-Lawz) . The traditional site in the misnamed Sinai Peninsula has virtually no archaeological evidence to support its claim. Whereas Jebel al-Lawz has overwhelming evidence. Plus, the logistical issues make a whole lot more sense (sea crossing, split rock of Horeb, etc.).
"While God is faithful to his people and his promises, he will honor their choices and let them waste their whole lives if they choose to live in rebellion..." That hits hard, man...
You guys are awfully young to have so much insight and wisdom. I’ve been actively reading the Bible for 45 years and still learn something significant from each of your videos. I’m going to start making monthly contributions to help you continue. I thank you and thank God for you.
@@tylerannvallandingham9320 I could understand your perspective but I do not believe H.C Collier is despising Youth. He was actually commending them. I LOVE this channel! All The Glory to Jesus
The story repeats itself in our everyday lives. I find myself complaining when things don’t go my way or the way I planned them to go or don’t happen when I was expecting them to happen. God has is own plans and works in his mysterious ways and on his time but in the end he always keeps his promises.
Agreed. Just like Israel, I think often times we have to spend long periods in the wilderness to get to the Promised Land. It’s so easy to complain but really we should be thankful. God is so patient with His people and He does not give up on them, just like how He doesn’t give up on us now.
Lol Yeah, how many of us (myself included) would be like those complaining "I'm hungry, I'm thirsty, I'm tired" We do that when we don't get our way. We lose our faith, we lose our way, and God lets us choose.
I’ve been a Christian for about a year and I am that weirdo who reads Scripture EVERY SINGLE DAY and I pray before reading, because it is so complicated and difficult to understand in moments, but these short videos really encapsulate the bigger picture and help a lot with all the years of programming that “God is just brutal and vindictive.” (I was, and surrounded myself with vehement atheists, modern-day witches, pagans, etc.) It started with Jesus and His teachings revealing to me much of what I had already felt somewhere deep inside. Now, I’m studying more of the rich history of God and how He has always been faithful AND just in His ways. It’s sometimes so hard for my naturally hard, skeptical, and proud heart, but I’m so grateful for scholarly people who are always willing to go in-depth to reveal God’s nature in the Bible. God bless you all. Peace and grace be with you in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
Bible Project is so important. People don’t understand the Bible or have interest in reading. A lot of ppl would rather watch a video. Thanks for summarizing and simplifying these complex books of the Bible for us
God bless Pakistani people of all ages, may He prepare many hearts to hear the gospel and to respond accordingly unto salvation, a living hope and a trust in Christ Jesus👑 that never fails❤️!!
@@agadirand4four347 Jesus proclaims many times in the Bible that He and the Father are one. Jesus is God in the flesh, He loves you and is always waiting for you with open arms.
@@agadirand4four347 When Jesus said that, He was not comparing his nature with that of God the Father. Rather he was comparing their positions. He Was Lesser In Position when He came to Earth. When Jesus came to earth he came in the form of a servant, to die for the sins of the world and to redeem us. This is also known as His humiliation. The fact that Jesus took on a human nature and made Himself subservient to the Father in no way denies the deity and lordship of Jesus. Jesus Christ is God and is the only way to receive salvation, there are a number of scriptures to back this up. Jesus loves you ❤️
4:44 this is so me, I can relate to this. Though I keep complaining, still God blessed me more than I deserve it. I don't know, my heart's going to explode.
I think you are so afraid to die,you will believe any bull so you cheat death.Grow up and face reality.God can not be disproven?Nor can the tooth fairy.
@Iron Hammer My world view is simply reality.Electricity,vaccines,the Hubble space telescope.All things given by man to man.There is NOTHING in the bible,or and other,"holy book",that told us how to cure disease,that God gave us by the way.If you were fool enough to believe the bible,you would think that the earth is flat,6,000 years old,and that natural disasters are from a indiscriminate angry fool of a God.All illogical Captian!!
That’s exactly what I thought and got out of it also! :) I was so excited about the “cross” formation that I took a screenshot of it! :) Great minds think alike…! :)
I thought so, too... thinking of a cross seen from afar moving in an organized formation. It must have been a pleasant sight to GOD in the highest and, at the same time, an approaching threat to the pagans far away, having heard all the Divine miracles this multitude had experienced and the presence of GOD all the way.
The Divine protection when curses were changed into blessings also tought me that GOD blesses us in ways we cannot see, when prayers seem unheard and things don't seem to get better as expected.
Way back in 1965 or so in Indonesia, an evangelist had to pull over when driving as the Holy Spirit told him to send a specific amount of money to a pastor he never knew of a particular church in a different town. That pastor happened to be my father. He had been praying with his family when in need for some money and nothing seemed to have happened until they received the check from an unknown person. To cut it short, my mom counted all the expenses and donations from their relatives a few days later and came up with a surplus at an amount exactly the same as that transferred by the unknown sender, even to the cents!! GOD does make a way when there seems to be no way... in HIS time and way!
Watching this makes me think I'm being disobedient in parts of my life and that's why those areas suck right now. I know God will not put more on you than you can bare, but he will like you said in the video walk in circles in the wilderness till you choose to obey. I'm far beyond fed up with fighting with God, he has all the cheat codes. I'm glad this project is here to motivate people to get on point with God
God does give people more than they can bare. Its why some people die young. When a child starves to death or gets cancer, its not because they choose to ignore god.
God is true to his word. He brought to watch this so I can see your comment. I agree with you, and I am also lucky to know of Him and have a relationship with his son Jesus. I know that all the good things came in to my life when I was at an all time low and when I gave in and heard all the wonders he says he has planned it changed me. I really want and after life with Him, and I don’t feel worthy to meet Jesus, but I want to meet Him.
You know, there was a time that I dreamed about this. In that dream, I saw the word NUMBERS and it started out as small... then it eventually grew bigger and bigger until it woke me up. As soon as my eyes opened, I immediately looked for my Bible and opened the book of Numbers. I dont know why I did that, but at the time, I just have this feeling that I should read it. Abd so, I did but I had hard time understanding it. I probably read it 3 times until I decided to stop. 2 years later, I stumble this video and now, I think I have an idea why God gave me that dream. So, thanks guys. To God be all the glory!
I am participating is a one year full reading of the bible & these videos are great! They give me a good summary before I began a book and makes me look toward to it.
+Marc-kendy Fenelus Me too! I just started this week. We must test all things against scripture so this is a great way to do it and help baby Christians [like me] grow in faith and learn to test teachings. I want to know God more and more through the scriptures. Good for you! Praise Jesus Christ ☺
don't be sad.. 1 Thessalonians 5: 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus God Answers prayer.. soon Earth will know about Jesus
Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for using Moses to show your glory .. we are to obey you Lord Jesus master savior creator Jehovah and you will lead guide supply for us
Please don't listen to the hypocrite haters on here - this is amazing my 11 year old son loves these and is truly inspired to read the scriptures because of these videos, and that is the point for people to go read and research and find God on your journey of revelation- if you don't understand something go research it out don't come against the author take it upon yourself to do your own personal work - get out your concordance go understand Torah and how Hebrew is written numerical (no vowels) ingulf yourself in study be responsible for your own belief by doing your own personal work '
@@bozenapilska5019 Carlos has a point tho. Maybe in some videos they could be wrong and people could believe them because they have never read the Bible themselves.
@@ni06no if U'r here-U'r searching for the Truth. If U find a mistake in their teachings- correct them. I disagree with them saying that Peter was in Rome, i left my comment without calling names...BP in my opinion did a great job on overview the Bible, but i don't know yet their teachings about the Gospel 1 Cor15;1-4 & eternal salvation OSAS by GRACE thru FAITH in HIS finished work on the cross, which is the most important & remember pls. some people starting from a milk to grasp this Holly Book, some reading their all live & being deceived & deceive others with doctrines of devil's; 'lordship salvation', charismatics, prosperity gospel etc. Peace & love
There is a plan on YouVersion by the Bible Project that pairs their videos with the parts of the Bible that they go with. So you can watch the videos as you read the Bible! It starts at Genesis and goes all the way to Revelation!
I love this video. It really shows to trust in God no matter what. God told them to go to the promise land, and showed them where to go, but many didn’t listen nor did they believe him. But, in the end of the journey, God kept his promise. No matter where you are in your life, trust in God! He has a plan that interconnects with so many other people’s plan and it’s all there to make you the best version of yourself for God. God bless everyone and have a great day!
Excellent work! I love how when they speak of the Manna they say "what is that stuff"? Lol. Because the word Manna actually means "What is it?" In Hebrew. Obviously on purpose which is very clever humor which I love. The Bible is completely true. Even the most "scientifically impossible" parts of the Bible are true. I used to doubt it all but the Lord is the Inventor and Master/Maker of all science not to mention the very elements themselves are of His creation. He can literally turn off the sun like a light switch while keeping earth in a livable state. He can do the impossible in our physical universe because He is Master of all elements and the Sustainer of all LIFE. It's in Him we move and have our being so its by Him we live. I was a suicidal drug dealer/addict. I overdosed many times trying to kill the pain of my existence but each time God sent someone to find me dying and call an ambulance. Jesus took all my pain away. He has never failed me though I have failed Him over and over. He allows bad things to happen so that we might come to the end of ourselves and turn back to Him and be saved forever. All those rules He gave us were for our health and benefits. So that we might not be hurt terribly over and over. I chose a hard way. I'm very thankful that God saved me. So many of my best friends were murdered or overdosed and died. I wish I could tell them what I know now. Jesus loves you more than any words can adequately express. Find Him seeker for better help you will not find. May God bless you exceedingly abundantly beyond all you see or imagine. P.S. I practiced witchcraft for years it made me very mentally sick and made my pain worse while inviting demons into my life to torment me. I have studied many religions but real Christianity is a relationship with Jesus Christ/Yeshua Messiah it is REAL and it's the only true path to God. Jesus said: I am the Way the Truth and the Life no one comes to the Father but through Me." He was simply stating exactly the way it was and is. All other religions lead to Hell/Sheol and none of them can even be accomplished in every situation. Like you cannot reach nirvana and meditate while your in a prison camp. You see? Only Jesus can be reached in EVERY situation and only He deals with the massive problem of sin. He died so that you might be able to live forever. And real love is sacrifice! He sacrificed Himself so that you might live. But the grave and hell could not hold Him. Because of who He is. Jesus has dominion over every depression every addiction and every disease. Jesus even has dominion over death itself. He can heal you and fill your heart with peace and joy! The Lord healed my body from epilepsy. He healed my mind from terminal depression and many mental illnesses. And He healed my heart from death and sin! There is no case too hard for Him! Find Him! Read the Bible and pray to Him and be set FREE. Many large churches have fallen away from God. The catholic church is a false Church. Yet their still remains a group of real true Holy Spirit filled Christians in the earth! Praise Lord God! Nothing can change that I told the truth today.
Been waking up at 2-4 am almost every night for the past year. Been sick over 20 different times in the past year.. so sick I've hallucinated and have had out of body experiences. Unimaginably mentally impossible I thought. However this has happened... I've lived as an addict, lost, stuck in the past for my entire life.. it's been a year since my 1st sickness.. I've practiced meditation, etc etc. Have been involved w multiple religious as a child through my child yrs...catholic, Baptist, and jehovah's witness...yet I've been so lost, in so many ways. I lost the mother of my 3 children 4 and a half years ago due to a fentanyl laced bag of heroin. My life has never been the same since. I have huge boulders I carry around w me everyday of my life because of all I've been through and decisions I've made. I've done my time w drugs and alcohol and have been not been addicted to either in 4 and a half yrs now and my life is harder now than it ever has been. I can write books on my life and what I've gone through. Yet, I've felt belittled, embarrased, depressed, ...I've had 1, 2week long failed attempt at a relationship since losing cheryl 4.5 yrs ago. I have a desire I cannot explain of which I want to learn ...learn as much as I can... I do feel we are all here for a reason. I have no idea why I've been waking up like this for the past year of my 37 yrs on earth so far.
@@justinhemion6279 The Lord wakes you up at those early hours for you to talk to him. He's going to and is helping you. Tell him what you need him to do for you and your babies and he will do it. I am so sorry for the loss of your childrens mom. May God richly bless your family!
I'm so guilty for overlooking this book of the bible but watching this video makes me want to start reading it ASAP. Thank you all for the this amazing video!
I‘ve read through the entire Bible three times in different translations. Currently I‘m reading Numbers as I make my fourth readthrough. Even though I‘m at the tail end of the book now, I‘ve learned so much stuff from your two videos on the book that I‘ve somehow missed. Thanks for your engaging, clear presentation. ❤ 😊
God give me the financial stability and abundance so I can help them accomplish their goals and your will and path. Thank you for their gifts and increase them more and more and always keep them and their loved ones grounded in you.
So, God has a plan for us. If we choose to walk in the light, we will fulfill our fate. Yet, if we choose to rebel and walk in the darkness, he allows us to ruin our own lives. The power of freedom!
Hi, The Bible, Exodus 16 describes what was on the ground every morning after the dew lifted, there were thin flakes of frost on the ground. The Israelite people called it manna. It was like coriander seed, white, and tasted like honey wafers. Moses said to the people, "This is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat." (Bread from Heaven)
Visually seeing how the Israelite camps were told to arrange themselves to depict a cross with God's holiness at the center is absolutely mind blowing....Never would have gotten that image just by reading the text. Amazing work guys.
@Now Behold God says if you trust me and worship me, I will save you. God is a God of free will. It's all based on belief. You can blame God for a fire when you never invited him to out it
@Now Behold what does claiming to be Christian havr anything to do with having devout faith? I'm not doubting that people may of suffered from darkness. But my argument is free will and wholeheartedly having faith
"Nevertheless the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam, but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you." DEUTERONOMY 23:5
I have been following the series and I would say, I am amazed by how you simplify and make reading the Word inviting. I know it's a challenge to point out everything but you capture the main thing and that's what's important. Thank you for your good work in God's Kingdom. Keep creating guys.
The Bible project hands down the greatest soul food ever. I've never been so gluttonous for the word of God as I am while watching your videos. Thank you for your team's hard work and dedication. Quite literally saving lives. Thanks so much brothers and sisters.
What an excellent interpretation. Your method simplifies the book so that it makes reading it so much easier to understand. Thank you for your awesome work and dedication to God's Word. Looking forward to Deuteronomy!
Too bad it wasn't shaped like that. It was more like a square with three tribes in each side. It is Christian bias. Btw the conclusion of this book is not that the people of Israel were bad, as much as that after all G-d will never abandon them nor he will replace them, like the church claimed for centuries. (until the establishment of the state of Israel which proves that)
Which church said God replaced Israel? That's heresy. Read Romans 9 to 11 and you'll see God hasn't forsaken His people. True Christians love Israel and pray for Jerusalem's peace (Psalms 122:6).
I'm happy to hear that this is your belief, yet historically the theory of replacement was pretty much the core of christian ideology until recently: ...Search for Supersessionism in Wikipedia (For some reason, the holocaust is referred there as the reason for the "Nostra Aetate" while it is clear that the return of the Jews to the holy land as the prophets foresaw, is the real reason. Furthermore, during the holocaust antisemitic pope of that time viewed it as a proof for the displacement of the Jews, as quoted in the article, again without mentioning this very clear connection...)
Believe me I am not looking for my spiritual answers in Wikipidia... Nevertheless, let me assume that the quotation of the pope I mentioned is not faked, neither is the whole history of christian persecutions of the Jewish people. Israel cannot be replaced, because g-d promised he wont change his plan, as you called it. It is Israel's job to bring the real, just, faith to the many nations you mentioned. (I hope I am doing well here ;) BTW, you might actually pointed something very interesting here: The Christianity is dividing and contrasting between the spiritual and the physical, while the Jewish main faith is possibly uncovering the harmony among both.
4:45 Even when Israel rebels, God is protecting and blessing them without them knowing. This is a great reminder that God is at work even when we don't see it.
Thank you BibleProject. Thanks to you guys you have helped me understand the bible entirely and now it's not so daunting to read for me. God Bless you guys much love 💙🌱💙
Thank you so much for these videos, I have been studying my bible this past year with more emphasis on the Torah since I had avoided it for so long. But now I’ve realized that the books that have convicted me and have allowed me to see how perfect and loving God is are the books of the Old Testament. I guess it makes sense since that’s what the New Testament characters had. A whole new world has opened up to me and you guys have been such a huge part of changing my life by giving us these tools. Thank you, God bless.
I love reading my Bible along with Audio Bible Dramatized KJB, on You Tube. I speed it up to 2 but its great to follow. Hope you enjoy reading The King James Bible. The Lord Jesus bless you.
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" John 14:6 Jesus is the only way to heaven. So don't trust in your goodness to save you on judgement day. Put your trust in the SAVIOR! Hopefully this inspired and encouraged you today. God bless.
Excellent work guys ❤ I can't thank you enough for such incredible and mesmerising work for glory to our God 😇 I wish to translate them in local languages and spread them as much as possible ❤Hallelujah Love and prayers from Pakistan ❤
As it happened to them it happens to us as well, people curse us and God turns their curses into blessings, praise be to God. This is My command to you: Love one another. If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first.
Oh! This is amazing! Insight into the Hebrew Scriptures always makes me so mindblowingly grateful to be a Catholic! God's presence in the tabernacle at the center of their lives? Mana/bread from heaven? Boy are you brilliant producers right about the astounding unity of the story, and SO much points to God's gift of His real presence in the Blessed Sacrament! 💖😍💖 Thank you for the beautiful, compelling video!
That image of God protecting the Israelites from the curse of Balaam while they're just simply being whiny and oblivious to what he's doing is just so powerful. "God is protecting and even blessing them". I. Just. Can't. God is so beautiful
Ahhhhh I still can't over how awesome these videos are! They make me wanna go and design more cool things for Jesus. The quality of these videos is so good, keep up the good work!
What rebellion God is there in my life? I want no waste in the name and blood of Christ, putting waste under the feet of Christ, amen and hallelujah! Annelies.
We are in "THE FINAL JUDGEMENT" phase Of the Signs of the Times!!! There is no in between, you must choose now Righteousness or evil?!!! If you decide to live in sin, you will go to your eternal place accordingly....
