The Dark History Behind Ezekiel 37

Pharaoh Who Enslaved Egypt: https://youtu.be/GCGS7AeYqI0?si=Owif_RVHISYDBG9ZBook Preview: https://blkshpbible.substack.com/p/dynasty-of-slaves-free-preview-bundleMost people know the valley of dry bones. What most people don't know is whose bones those are - or how they got there.In this video we dig into the hidden history behind Ezekiel 37. It starts with a tribe called Ephraim, a decision made in Egypt before the Exodus, and a betrayal that fractured the family of Israel so deeply that the wound was still open centuries later when Ezekiel stood in that valley.We cover the historical and archaeological context of Israel in Egypt, what the tribe of Ephraim actually did and why it matters, what Psalm 78 and 1 Chronicles 7 tell us about the event, why Exodus 1 shows no record of Israel resisting enslavement, and what ancient Jewish sources including the Talmud and the Mekhilta say about whose bones Ezekiel actually saw.This is also a video about what God does with broken families, fractured communities, and people who have gone spiritually dry. The valley has a history. And the history makes the resurrection mean something it couldn't mean without it.

Jesus Had a Cosmological Map We've Only Recently Rediscovered

Most people read Mark 4 and 5 as two separate miracles sitting next to each other. Jesus calms a storm, then Jesus casts out a demon. Two episodes, two lessons, move on.But that's not what Mark is doing.This is one story, one campaign, two fronts on the same ancient war. And to see what Jesus actually did that night, you need the map his audience already had in their heads — because when you have that map, this passage stops being a miracle story and starts being the moment the whole Hebrew Bible was building toward.We cover the cosmic geography of the Sea of Galilee, what Deuteronomy 32 says about the eastern shore, why Bashan terrified a first century Jewish audience, and why the Book of Job is the key to understanding both what Jesus did on the water and what he did when he stepped off the boat.🖊 Substack: blkshpbible.substack.com

They Found It in a Cave and It Turned Modern Judaism Upside Down

Get more like this from my newsletter: https://blkshpbible.substack.comFor over a thousand years, the ancient Jewish world had a portrait of the Messiah — specific enough to name his birthplace, describe his death, and fix the century of his arrival. It wasn't hidden in obscure corners. It was in the Talmud. The Midrash. The Targums. The Zohar. Written by Jewish scholars, for Jewish communities, centuries before Christianity had any influence over them.Then something happened.This video traces what the ancient Jewish sources actually say about the Messiah — and the four historical wounds that buried that portrait for a thousand years. From the Bar Kokhba revolt to the massacres of 1096, from Rashi's grief to Ramban's silence in Barcelona, this is the story of how a tradition lost sight of what its own scholars wrote down and preserved.The Great Isaiah Scroll has been sitting in a cave since before Jesus of Nazareth was born. It hasn't changed. The question Isaiah asked 700 years before Christ is still sitting there waiting.Who hath believed our report?

The Bible's Most Dangerous Men (and Women)

🖤 Go deeper with the BLK SHP email newsletter: https://blkshpbible.substack.com/The Bible doesn't hide its killers. It names them, counts their bodies, and records their motives in uncomfortable detail...and then it tells you what God did about it.Ten case files. Ten killers. Warriors and assassins, vigilantes and mob bosses, men who killed thousands and women who killed one. Some were condemned. Some were rewarded. Some received a covenant from God as a direct result of what they did.Every verdict falls into one of three categories: Justified. Condemned. Or Complicated... and that last one is the most revealing of all.
