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.

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.

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

    Archeology Reveals the Pharaoh Who Forgot Joseph and Enslaved a Nation

    -👉 Get the Preview Bundle for my new book, Dynasty of Slaves: https://subscribepage.io/dynasty-of-slavesEver wondered how the Hebrews went from being the protected elite in Egypt to working in the mud pits of the 18th Dynasty? If you read Exodus 1, there is a massive, unexplained gap. One minute they are the family of the Prime Minister; the next, they are a national security threat. Most people assume it was just a change in Pharaoh, but the historical and biblical record suggests something much more calculated—a betrayal from within.This is the hidden history of the Hebrew enslavement—the story of how a single act of rebellion by the tribe of Ephraim turned a Dynasty of Kings into a Dynasty of Slaves. If you’ve ever felt like the Sunday School version of the Exodus story was missing a few pages, this deep dive is for you. We’re moving past the surface-level narrative to find the political landscape that set the stage for Moses and the Exodus.🧢 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- Israel in Egypt: The Evidence for the Authenticity of the Exodus Tradition - James K.

    The LOST TRIBE Who Taught MOSES (and ISRAEL) About God

    In this episode, we are tracking down the "Forgotten Seed" of Abraham: the Kenites. We’re going to connect the dots between that mysterious inscription in Sudan, a copper mining camp in the Timna Valley, and a priest named Jethro who lived in the shadow of the Mountain of God.We’ve been told the story of the Exodus is about God introducing Himself to a world that didn’t know Him. But the archaeological evidence suggests something different. It suggests that when Moses fled Egypt, he didn’t just run into a random desert; he walked into a theology class. He went to meet the people who had kept the faith alive while Israel had amnesia.We’re going to look at the "receipts" in the dirt: the Soleb inscription that ties the name Yahweh to the land of the nomads, the discovery of a tabernacle in Timna that predates Moses (complete with a copper serpent), and the sophisticated "Qurayyah Painted Ware" pottery that proves these nomads were masters of technology and trade.This is the story of how God used the outsiders to save the insiders. It’s the mystery of the Kenites—the people who didn’t get the Land or the Covenant, but who might have been the ones who actually kept the Faith.If you love biblical history, archaeology, and the parts of the Bible that usually get skipped over in Sunday School, this deep dive is for you. Let’s find out who really taught Moses who God was.🧢 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- Yahweh before Israel: Glimpses of History in a Divine Name by Daniel E.

    The REST of the Christmas Story (Revelation's Version)

    What if the "silent night" we celebrate was actually the sound of a cosmic invasion? Most of us know the traditional manger scene—the sleeping baby, the hopeful parents, and absolute stillness. But that's only half the story. Revelation 12 pulls back the curtain to reveal a terrifying spiritual reality: a great red dragon standing before a woman in labor, waiting to devour her child the moment he is born.In this episode of BLK SHP Bible Talk, we’re investigating the "other half" of the Christmas story. We’ll examine the astronomical evidence that points to a specific historical timestamp for Jesus’ birth—September 11, 3 B.C.. This alignment in the stars occurred during Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets, signaling a royal coronation that the heavens were screaming to the Magi.We’ll break down the identities of the Woman (faithful Israel) and the Dragon (Satan working through Herod) and look at the "Seed War" that has been raging since Eden. You’ll discover how the Ascension of Christ triggered a "war in heaven," resulting in the legal eviction of "the Accuser" from the heavenly courtroom. The enemy is filled with fury today because he knows his time is short, and he has turned his sights on "the rest of her offspring"—the Church.🧢 BLK SHP Hats: https://blkshp.printful.me🖤 Go deeper with the BLK SHP email newsletter: https://blkshpbible.substack.com🎤 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- The Star That Astonished the World by Ernest L.

    We found Abraham in an Egyptian tomb?

    In 1890, archaeologists opened an Egyptian tomb and found something that should have been impossible. Painted on the wall, vibrant and preserved for 4,000 years, was a scene of foreign visitors entering Egypt. They weren't Egyptian. They were Semitic. They carried advanced weapons, wore multi-colored royal coats, and their leader was identified by a specific name: Abisha. For over a century, most scholars have treated this as just a generic scene of ancient trade. But what if they missed the most explosive detail of all?In this episode, we’re dusting off the file on the "Abisha" painting to investigate a mystery hiding in plain sight. I'll break down the linguistic clues, the timeline, and the visual evidence that challenges everything we think we know about the book of Genesis. If this really is Abraham, then we have to completely rewrite our mental image of the Bible’s most famous patriarch.BLK SHP Hats: https://blkshp.printful.me Join the BLK SHP Insiders at https://www.facebook.com/share/g/19xgiprR8h/ Sponsored by ServeHQ - Train church volunteers easy: https://servehq.churchLEARN MORE ABOUT ABISHA AND BENI HASANBeni Hasan by Percy Newberry: https://amzn.to/4aKjq6WAsiatics in Middle Kingdom Egypt: Perceptions and Reality by Phyllis Saretta https://amzn.to/4q92LhXIsrael in Egypt: The Evidence for the Authenticity of the Exodus Tradition by James K.

    Why Does the Bible Warn About These Giant Spirit-Kings?

    In 1929, archaeologists in Syria discovered clay tablets describing rituals to summon the "Rephaim"—ancient warrior-kings who ate, drank, and rode chariots from the underworld. But here’s the problem: The Bible uses that exact same word.Sometimes Scripture translates Rephaim as "giants" (like Og of Bashan). Other times, it translates it as "the dead" (spirits writhing in hell). Is this a translation error? Or were the biblical authors testifying to a terrifying reality: that the giant clans of the conquest became the demonic spirits of the underworld?This video solves a 3,000-year-old mystery hiding in plain sight. We connect the dots between the megalithic tombs of the Golan Heights, the forbidden death cults of the Canaanites, and the strange prophecy Jesus gave at the foot of Mount Hermon—the very place ancient tradition says the rebellion began.The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible by Michael S.

    What happened to Abraham’s cousins in Genesis 10?

    The Bible lists only a handful of names between Noah and Abraham. But what about the others? Who were the 13 forgotten patriarchs—the cousins and contemporaries of Abraham who simply vanished from the historical and scriptural record?This video dives deep into one of the most compelling and often-overlooked biblical mysteries: the thirteen pre-Babel relatives of Abraham, detailed in Genesis, whose lines are suddenly and completely dropped.We explore the historical theories, linguistic changes, and theological reasons why these powerful tribal lines were essentially erased from the narrative that leads to Abraham's covenant. Discover the political and religious context that decided which names would be remembered, and which would be condemned to obscurity.📚 RECOMMENDED RESOURCES & FURTHER READINGThe Academic Source Code (Commentaries Used in this Video): Genesis 1-15 (Word Biblical Commentary) by Gordon J.
