Exile: Life During Death - Episode 072
Genesis 3, the Passover, the exile, and Jesus. How do these relate to the wilderness, Babylon, Assyria, and why one always goes "down" to Egypt? Each of us can relate to the theme of exile in some way, and yet the prevalence of this concept might escape us when we read our Bibles. Understanding exile can help us understand Jesus and our lives today.

Who is Leviathan: Chaos Monster, Satan, or Job? with Mike Chu - Episode 070
If Job is a second Adam, then the satan in Job must be the serpent from the Garden, right? In our previous conversation about Job as a second Adam, we didn't get into nearly enough talk about the satan reflecting or being the serpent from the garden, after all. Is it an I-told-you-so moment?? Exploring that further in this episode, we come to some surprising reflections on Leviathan and chaos in general.

Divine Council Worldview: Comparing Translations with Mike Chu - Episode 069
Comparing translations of passages that touch on the Divine Council Worldview. Why do some Bible translations have "sons of God" in Deut. 32:8 and others have "sons of Israel"? Can humans be elohim? What's with the "so-called gods" in 1 Cor. 8:5?

Exile and Forging Identity - Episode 068
We hear it, and it's true: we are made to be kings on the earth, and then we lost our dominion, exiled from our true home. But there is hope in our Messianic King who sets all to right! But being reconciled to our true home is not all there is to the concept of exile. Reviewing biblical theology books on exile, talking about the Deuteronomistic history, and discussing the formation of the nation of Israel helps us see exile in the scope of both narrative and history. Are you being transformed in exile? **Website: www.genesismarksthespot.com My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpot

Thank You!
I am soooo thankful to the teachers & scholars that have the time and ability to “raid the ivory towers” and bring those riches of information to the layman like myself. Your time investment in helping to build this area of the kingdom is greatly appreciated! Keep up the great work Carey! 👍🏻😉
Love it
I love learning about the history of the ancient near east, Bible patterns and themes, and just theology in general. Carey covers interesting topics in depth, and clear to understand. Definitely appreciate her sharing her knowledge, lessons and information I try to pass down to my two teenage boys as well.
Outstanding podcast
Carey seems to know the text and the background do well and she explains things so thoroughly, answering my mental questions. She is humble, but also speaks with authority in that I can tell she has done her homework. I always learn something new from her. I am grateful for her.
