If there is one thing I’ve learned since I started studying the Bible for myself, it’s this:
Don’t skip over the genealogies and locations!
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read my Bible in the past, and every time it came to that long list of names and places, I just skimmed right past it.
The people and places that Yahuah lists for us to read may be more important than you think. I’ve certainly learned this for myself. As we continue on in Season 4 of this podcast, this will become more and more evident of why understanding the roots and history of these people, tribes and places is so important. There are some fundamental truths about biblical history that have been suppressed for so long, which is why I’ve felt led to go back to the beginning and share what I’ve learned.
In this podcast episode, we’re taking it all the way back to Noah’s three sons: Shem, Ham & Japheth.
It’s often times the so-called “boring” or “unimportant” things in Scripture that will actually provide us with the understanding needed to solidify the foundation of our faith. Because to put it quite bluntly, the way that we have been taught world history and biblical history has been wrong. Entirely wrong. And this is something that has been so divinely orchestrated by the powers of darkness, that only those who truly love the Light will be awakened from.
Believe it or not, learning more about history has deepened my love for the Scriptures, because through these studies, I have learned just how powerful Yahuah is and just how much the Bible has unfolded and will continue to unfold exactly as He said it would.
It has edified my faith in ways that I can’t even explain.
If there is a word, person, or place you are unfamiliar with in Scripture, I encourage you to look it up! Find the original word used and make note of it. The Bible truly comes alive as you start studying history by unpacking the people and places, one at a time.
This is something that has become so fascinating to me. As a student of the Bible, the topics of history and geography have become some of my favorite things to study. I think this is because this is something that has been entirely neglected as a part of our discipleship.
I pray that this episode will be the first of many to help fill some gaps in our biblical and historical timeline, as well as bring you into a deeper love for His Word.
Because it certainly has done that for me.
