Episode They Didn't Just Conquer Israel - They Made It Disappear Cover

They Didn't Just Conquer Israel - They Made It Disappear

The ten lost tribes of Israel aren't actually a mystery. We know exactly what happened to them - and the real answer is more chilling than any theory about Ethiopia or the British Isles. In this episode we trace the rise of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, the most feared power in the ancient world, and the systematic policy they used to dismantle conquered peoples - not just militarily, but structurally. We cover the fall of the northern kingdom in 722 BC, Jerusalem's unlikely survival under Sennacherib in 701 BC, and what Isaiah, Jonah, and Nahum together say about a God who governs even the most brutal empires in history. Includes: Sennacherib's own annals, the Lachish reliefs, Sargon II's deportation records, and 2 Kings 17's explanation of why Israel really fell.

Episode You Are to Jesus What Jesus Was to Abraham Cover

You Are to Jesus What Jesus Was to Abraham

From Abraham to Jesus is roughly two thousand years. From Jesus to you is roughly two thousand years. Once you feel that distance, the Old Testament stops feeling remote and starts feeling like a story you can actually navigate. In this episode, Scott introduces the single most useful tool for reading the Old Testament -- a framework of five chapters covering the full sweep of biblical history from Origins through the period of Rebuilding and Waiting. Along the way, he uses a simple time mirror centered on Jesus to show how the BC and AD sides of history reflect each other at the same distances. Moses mirrors Luther. David mirrors the medieval world. Ezra mirrors the early Middle Ages. The framework doesn't ask you to memorize dates. It asks you to recognize something you already know -- and apply it to the world of Scripture. 🗺️ Explore the OT in its original context: https://otincontext.com 👥 Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldtestamentincontext

Episode What Is a Nation? Ancient vs. Modern Concepts (Episode 3.1) Cover

What Is a Nation? Ancient vs. Modern Concepts (Episode 3.1)

(Note: This episode includes references to on-screen map demos. For the full visual experience, watch on YouTube — but the teaching stands on its own as audio.) When you read "nation" in the Old Testament, what do you picture? A country on a map with borders and a flag? That's not what the word means — and the difference changes how you read the entire Bible. In this episode, we explore how the ancient world understood nations, states, and peoplehood — why you can't draw a nation on a map, and why this distinction is the engine of the whole Old Testament story. This is Episode 3.1, the first in our Nations & Empires series.
