We’ll explore the ancient Chaoskampf—the cosmic struggle between God’s order and the active insurgency of "un-creation."From the "Wet Chaos" of the Tehom (the Deep) to the "Dry Chaos" of the Tohu (the Wilderness), we track the fingerprints of the Dragon through:- Job 41: The "War Room" briefing on God’s leash on Leviathan. - Isaiah 27: Why ancient empires were just "masks" for a deeper spiritual insurgency. - The Gospels: How Jesus treading on water was the ultimate sign of victory over the Deep. - Revelation 12 & 21: The final extraction of the Dragon and the permanent end of the "Sea" of chaos. If the world feels like it’s falling into Tohu va Bohu, this investigation into the most dangerous operative in the biblical record is for you. Don't build metaphors on myths—build them on reality.Gunkel: Creation and Chaos - https://amzn.to/4ruldThChapter Markers:0:00 Was Leviathan Real?1:22 Biblical Authors & Zoology2:00 The Cosmic Squatter3:03 The Struggle Against Chaos4:14 Entropy & Uncreation4:48 King of the Proud5:45 Tohu va-Vohu & The Deep6:37 Israel’s Dangerous Geography7:37 The Flood: Uncorking the Deep9:04 Babel: The City of Wilderness10:44 Egypt, Ra, and Apep12:15 Job’s Flawed Worldview12:48 God’s Dossier on Leviathan14:16 Political Dragons: Babylon & Egypt16:08 Jesus in the Wilderness16:51 Subduing the Storm17:59 The Dragon Cast Out18:28 Why "No More Sea"?18:59 Is Leviathan Alive Today?

    Why Civilization Collapsed (But Israel Survived)

In a span of just a few decades, the mighty Hittite Empire vanished, the Mycenaeans disappeared, and the great power of Egypt began to crumble. Historians call this the Late Bronze Age Collapse, and they often point to a mysterious group of invaders known as the "Sea Peoples" as the wrecking ball that brought it all down.But amidst this global catastrophe, one tiny, emerging nation wasn't destroyed. In fact, they were just getting started.In this video, we dig into the archaeology of the Bronze Age Collapse to see how the geopolitical vacuum created by this "dark age" perfectly matches the biblical timeline of Joshua and Judges. We’ll look at the Amarna Letters, which record the desperate pleas of Canaanite kings watching their cities fall to the "Habiru," and we'll explore why the superpowers of the day were too distracted to stop the rise of Ancient Israel.Was the collapse of the Bronze Age just a historical accident? Or was it a divine "clearing of the land" to make way for a new kingdom? Let's look at the evidence.📚 RECOMMENDED RESOURCES & FURTHER READING- 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed - Eric H.

Cities burned, trade vanished, and the great empires of the world fell silent. Historians have long asked how this happened, but the real question is why the world's primary stabilizer, Egypt, wasn't there to stop it. In this deep dive, we investigate the "First Domino" to fall: a divine foreclosure on the Egyptian empire centuries before the fire, revealing how the Exodus was the catastrophic event that broke the foundation of the Bronze Age world.📚 RECOMMENDED RESOURCES & FURTHER READING- 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed - Eric H.

    What they didn't teach you about Genesis 6

But what if the story we’ve been told is missing the most important part?In today’s video, we’re tugging on a thread most preachers are afraid to touch: the cosmic rebellion of the "Sons of God." We’re moving past the "Line of Seth" theory to look at the ancient Israelite worldview…one involving a Divine Council, spiritual DNA, and a "Seed War" that started in Eden and led all the way to the cross.We explore:Who the Bene Ha'Elohim (Sons of God) actually are.Why the Flood can be seen as a "rescue mission" more than just a judgment.The "Babel Divorce" and how God disinherited the nations.How Jesus served an "eviction notice" to the powers of darkness at Mount Hermon.The Gospel is more than just a moral lesson; it’s a cosmic reclamation project. Let's get into the "weird" parts of the Bible that make the whole story make sense.RESOURCES FOR FURTHER STUDYThe Unseen Realm by Dr. Michael Heiser https://amzn.to/3LIIIIR The Unseen Throne by Brian Dempsey https://amzn.to/4k9zFNK Supernatural by Dr. Micahel Heiser https://amzn.to/4rkXwMy 1 Enoch (and 54-book Apocrypha) https://amzn.to/45IFega The Second Coming of Saturn by Derek Gilbert https://amzn.to/4k5qT3c The Septuagint (LXX) https://amzn.to/4kclLue Analytical Lexicon to the Septuagint https://amzn.to/4k676k6 —————🎤 Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/65ltJzPUNJtCQpKRdWZfAM?si=33nJi0JFS6SeAStfVMBg6w🍎 Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blk-shp-bible-talk/id1859984761CHAPTERS0:00 Intro: The Three Great Rebellions 1:21 Who are the Sons of God?

    How Joesph Broke the Back of Egypt and Built a Dynasty

But when archaeologists dig into the ruins of their capital, Avaris, they find no evidence of a war. So, who were they really?In this episode, we investigate the theory that the "Hyksos" weren't invaders at all; they were the family of Jacob. We’ll connect the dots between the biblical story of Joseph and the historical King "Salatis," a name that isn't Egyptian, but a Greek translation of the Semitic title Ha-Shallit ("The Governor").Join me as I brush away the sand from a Syrian-style palace in the Nile Delta, examine a smashed statue wearing a "coat of many colors," and uncover how a dreamer became a king...and how the system he built to save Egypt became the "Iron Furnace" that would eventually enslave his own family.In this video:- The "Invasion" that never happened- The linguistic smoking gun: Joseph vs. Salatis- The archaeological discovery of the "Man in the Coat"- How the "Dynasty of Slaves" actually began as a Dynasty of Kings🎤 Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/65ltJzPUNJtCQpKRdWZfAM?si=33nJi0JFS6SeAStfVMBg6w🍎 Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blk-shp-bible-talk/id1859984761

    Imago Hominis: A Spiritual Problem with AI

    🖤 Go deeper with the BLK SHP email newsletter: https://blkshpbible.substack.com/Ever heard of the Enuma Elish? It’s this ancient Babylonian myth where the gods got tired of working, so they created humans to be their slave class. Sound familiar?In this video, I’m exploring how Silicon Valley is basically reenacting this exact same story right now. Except this time, we want to be the gods, and AI is the new slave class.I dive into the difference between being made in the "Image of God" vs. the "Image of Man" (Imago Hominis), and why that distinction matters more than ever. We aren't building a god; we are building a mirror—and the reflection isn't always pretty.Let me know what you think in the comments!👉 Get the Preview Bundle for my new book, Dynasty of Slaves: https://blkshpbible.substack.com/p/dynasty-of-slaves-free-preview-bundle🧢 BLK SHP Hats: https://blkshp.printful.me🎤 Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/65ltJzPUNJtCQpKRdWZfAM?si=33nJi0JFS6SeAStfVMBg6w🍎 Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blk-shp-bible-talk/id1859984761

    Moses’ Impossible Adoption [Memphis - 1526 BC]

    -👉 Get the Preview Bundle for my new book, Dynasty of Slaves: https://subscribepage.io/dynasty-of-slavesWe’ve always been told that Moses was saved by the compassion of a princess. But what if he was actually saved by the ambition of a queen?In 1526 BC, the 18th Dynasty of Egypt was facing a crisis. The royal line was on the brink of extinction, and Queen Ahmose—the "Great Royal Wife"—needed an heir to secure the throne.In this episode, we travel to the war room of Memphis to uncover the political thriller behind the "basket in the reeds." We’ll investigate the evidence that Moses’ adoption wasn't just a miracle of providence, but a calculated strategy of statecraft.Join us as we explore the "Divine Birth" propaganda used to turn a Hebrew slave into an Egyptian god-king, identify the historical Prince Amenmose, and reveal how the "Dragon" ended up paying to raise his own destroyer.It’s time to stop reading the Exodus like a fairy tale and start reading it like history.🧢 BLK SHP Hats: https://blkshp.printful.me🖤 Go deeper with the BLK SHP email newsletter: https://subscribepage.io/blkshp🎤 Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/65ltJzPUNJtCQpKRdWZfAM?si=33nJi0JFS6SeAStfVMBg6w🍎 Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blk-shp-bible-talk/id1859984761Sponsored by ServeHQ - Train church volunteers easy: https://servehq.church📚 RECOMMENDED RESOURCES & FURTHER READING- Solving the Exodus Mystery: Discovery of the True Pharaohs — Ted Stewart — https://amzn.to/3LrnlLQ- Unwrapping the Pharaohs: How Egyptian Archaeology Confirms the Biblical Timeline — John Ashton & David Down — https://amzn.to/4q9XKWJ- The Exodus Case: New Discoveries Confirm the Historical Exodus — Lennart Möller — https://amzn.to/451ScVZ
