Hello, this is offtopic, but I just want to thank you for the fact that your comment sections are clean without debates

Could you make a video with information you find on the significance of the destruction of the Temple in 70AD? Josephus had lots to say about it. Just curious what the early church wrote about it. Thanks,

I have just discovered your channel. Very interesting study . Thank you for sharing.🙂 I subbed and will make sure to watch your videos from the beginning. Did you happen to come across anything on the fate of John the apostle during your studies? Is there an actual record of when he died?

At 6:36, in the verses of Ps 62:12 and Prov 24:12, the Greek words of both "recompense" and "render" are the same word: ἀποδίδωμι, meaning "give, give back, return". So this verse quotation agreement should be for Both, not for MT. Thanks for your hard work!

Thank you for commenting. You listed a number of topics that will become videos on this channel at a later time. I would be happy to briefly discuss these things with you here. You first mentioned the Real Presence. Yes, this was the belief of the early Christians. They did not believe in the symbolic presence of Christ nor did they believe in transubstantiation. For example, Irenaeus wrote that the bread and fruit of the vine gain a dual nature: physical food and spiritual Christ. And both of those things are true in a very real way. God bless you!

@@a.d1287 Thank you for asking. My thoughts on that are based on how that word was used back then. Of course, "catholic" simply means universal. However, today, it means the Roman Catholic Church. The word "catholic" was a generic word (one of the words used in the 5 Marks of the Church). It was used generically for 1000 years. With the final split between the Eastern and Western churches, the Eastern churches ended up taking the word "orthodox" (another word used in the 5 Marks of the Church) while the Western churches ended up taking the word "catholic." So that is a brief history of "catholic" in history. In Ignatius' day, I don't see how he was using "catholic" to refer to Western churches nor the Church in Rome. In Ignatius' statement, he is saying that, that since Jesus is universal, so is the church. Ignatius is saying that Christ's church is not bound by anything: neither location nor race nor language nor age nor leadership. In other words, Jesus Christ is the greatest Mark of the Church. I hope this makes sense. God bless!

Thank you for commenting. Great question!! That is something I plan to research and pull together what the Pre-Nicene Christians had to say about Revelation. Here is a little taste from what I've read so far: the book was one of the debated books (along with 2Peter). This is probably because of its apocalyptic style of writing. By the end of the 300s, Revelation was fully considered canon. This is probably because apocalyptic literature already existed in the Old Testament and because most Christians believe the apostle John was the author. In the 200s, the early Christian writer Victorinus wrote a brief commentary on Revelation. Sadly, not all portions of his commentary have survived the centuries. God bless you!

Correction on Matt 13:14-15. The MT Isiaiah 6 implies that God could be causing the people to be dull while the LXX Isaiah 6 puts the dullness of hearing and seeing squarely on the Jews similar to Matthew. LXX should have the point here. We could raise the case of the Rabbinical schools tampering with the words to escape criticism against them. Also for Matt 13:35, I thought your point was the exact wording used. It looked to me like it should be another point for LXX because "parables" in plural like Matthew. and "from the beginning" seems to be pretty close to "from the foundation of the world" and the prepositions "from" are similar.

Those are good points. When comparing verses, it's sometimes a challenge how detailed we should get when looking at these verses. For example, there are some verses where one word matches the Masoretic and a different word matches the Septuagint. Can I give both of them a point in that situation? Not really. Your conclusions may be right, but sometimes it is not worthwhile to get too much into the nitty gritty. As I go through these verses, I'm trying to be as consistent as I can. I hope you understand.

Luke 1:5-6 KJV 5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. The words to eternal life are Jesus's commands and teachings. Some may say we don’t have to keep the Sabbath day, feast days or the dietary laws because they were part of the Law of Moses, but the Law of Moses was a separate law that consisted of the law of animal sacrifices, not the Ten Commandments which were given to Moses directly from God or the feast days and dietary laws. In order to be saved we must obey Jesus, we can find before Jesus came to Earth and dwelt with man, he was Melchisedec King of Salem who Abraham honored with a tenth of his possessions, the great I AM who appeared to Moses, and Jehovah Almighty who gave Moses the Ten Commandments and led the children of Israel out of Egypt. Hebrews 6:20 KJV Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. Hebrews 7:1-3 KJV For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; [2] To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; [3] Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. These first few verses in Hebrews 7 show that Melchisedec met Abraham back in Genesis 14:18-20 KJV: “18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. 19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all,” and later was made like unto the Son of God. We know that Melchisedec is without father, mother, descent, having neither beginning of days or end of life and is an immortal priest. This person cannot be the Father because Jesus is the only begotten Son of God and the only one who has seen the Father. No man including Moses who God showed his backside to has seen the Father. Moses saw the back of Jehovah, who is Jesus. John 1:17-18 “[17] For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. [18] No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.” No man who has ever lived on Earth, but Jesus has immortality. (1 Timothy 6:13-16) Only Jesus, the Son of God, fits the description of Melchisedec. The second half of Hebrews 7 further elaborates how Jesus as the high priest of the order of Melchisedec, came to change and replace the old Levitical priesthood. . The only change in the old and new covenant was the mediators. The mediator in the old covenant under the Levitical priesthood was Moses, the new mediator under the new covenant is Jesus. The Levitical priests oversaw the administration of the animal sacrifices for sin. Because the Messiah had not come, the Israelites needed a sin sacrifice so God would not kill them. The wages of sin is death, so the lambs, goats, bulls, turtledoves, ect. died in their place. This law was carnal and could never give anyone eternal life. Moses prophesied God will raise another prophet like him and they will listen to Him (Deuteronomy 18:15-19). Jesus is this prophet. At his resurrection and ascension to Heaven, he became our new mediator for the new covenant under Melchisedec which replaced the old covenant’s mediator under the Levitical priests. Hebrews 7:23-28 “[23] And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: [24] But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. [25] Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. [26] For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; [27] Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. [28] For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.” Hebrews 10:1-13 KJV [1] For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. [2] For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. [3] But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. [4] For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.[5] Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: [6] In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. [7] Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. [8] Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; [9] Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. [10] By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. [11] And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:[12] But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God; [13] From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. These two scriptures, John 8:52-58 and Exodus 3:13-15, establish that Jesus is the great I AM. John 8:52-58 KJV Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. [53] Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? [54] Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: [55] Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. [56] Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it and was glad. [57] Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? [58] Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM. Exodus 3:13-15 KJV And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? [14] And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. [15] And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. Isaiah 12:2-3 establishes the fact that Jesus is Jehovah, our Messiah. Through believing in him and keeping his commandments, can we receive eternal salvation. Isaiah 12:2-3 KJV Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. [3] Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. We must keep Jesus’s commands, so what Jesus (who is Jehovah, Melchisedec, the great I AM) commanded the children of Israel to do which was to keep his Sabbath, his feast days, and dietary laws we must do also. The Gentiles are grafted into holy olive tree which represents Jesus Christ alongside the natural branches which represent Israel. These laws are spiritual (not carnal like the law of animal sacrifice), and last forever (Psalm 111:7-8). The laws of God come from the Father and were given to his Son Jesus to preach to the world for eternal life. John 17:5-8 KJV “[5] And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. [6] I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. [7] Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. [8] For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.” When we obey Jesus, we are obeying the Father. The commands and teachings of Jesus all come from the Father. The only change in the covenant was the mediators. The mediator in the old covenant under the Levitical priesthood was Moses, the new mediator under the new covenant is Jesus. Since Jesus came in the volume of the book, what he commanded given to him by the Father in the old testament has not changed.

We must keep the Sabbath day and the dietary laws. The Sabbath foreshadows the thousand-year reign of Christ when he returns. A day with the Lord is as a thousand years (2 Peter 3:8), and man has been around roughly 6,000 years. Christ's millennium reign is on the seventh thousand year or "day" in his kingdom in Jerusalem. When Adam transgressed, God said on that day he will surely die. Adam never made it to be a thousand years old. He died at 930, slightly less than God's day and because he was made on the sixth day, and was expelled from Eden, he never had the chance to rest with God on the seventh day. Now through Christ, we have hope to enter this rest so we should honor the day that represents it. Hebrews 4 mentions how some have fallen short of this rest because of sin and how another rest has been appointed for us to enter only if we obey His commandments. Hebrews 4:4-11 KJV "For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. [5] And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. [6] Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: [7] Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. [8] For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. [9] There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. [10] For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. [11] Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. " Revelation 20:4-6 KJV: "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. [5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. [6] Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with him a thousand years." Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 3:16). If we eat unclean foods, then we are defiling this temple. Jesus will punish those who eat swine, which is an unclean animal. Isaiah 66:15-17 KJV "For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. [16] For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many. [17] They that sanctify themselves and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.". If we eat unclean foods, then we are defiling this temple. Jesus will punish those who eat swine, which is an unclean animal.

So Yeshua (as was commonly done by the Jewish nation since contact with greek in 330 BC) became Iesous (pronounced something like EE-sus), from there it went to Latin as Iesus (YEH-sus) and to Old English as Iesus and Modern English as Jesus (notice that originally the J was just a variant form of the letter I of Iesus) Hope this sheds a light c:
