Countries Mentioned in the Bible
Ever wondered which countries are actually referenced in the Bible? In this video, I'll explore just that, and create a neat new "Bible Accurate" map in the process!
These biblical lands stretch over a massive geographical area. From the rich African Kingdoms of Kush to the exotic maritime ports of ancient Ophir, the biblical writers knew of regions that lay on the periphery of the known world. When used as a historical document, the Bible is a snapshot in time into the surprising world of early trade. Finding real-world locations in the Bible reveals how connected the ancient world was.
Is your country there? If not, should your country be on there? I’d be curious to hear whether the eastern land of Sinim mentioned in Isaiah 49:12, could be a reference to China.
A few notes about the map. When the Bible was written, "countries" as we know them today didn’t even exist. Plus, there’s no one version of it that all Christians can agree on (although that would be nice). I am using the NRSV. What's more, I have taken Scythia to mean Bulgaria and Romania (as in Scythia Minor). I ought to have included Ukraine into this mix too but hey, Scythia has always been notoriously difficult to define! Also, Arabic not Aramaic.
I hope you enjoyed this video, I enjoyed making it. I have an exciting personal milestone this end - I'll be moving into full-time employment! Don't worry, I won't disappear entirely but I will, unfortunately, be uploading less frequently. I am always so grateful for this amazing platform and your amazing viewership over this exciting chapter of my story.

Art of the Unconscious Mind

This video is about the origins of surreal art, and the many attempts to depict the unconscious mind. From apocalyptic dream art to impossible landscapes, fantastical painting has had a long history. As we explore the history of surreal art and proto-surrealism, we’ll see how Aboriginal Australians depicted the dreamtime, how renaissance illusionists like Arcimboldo tricked our minds into seein...

Psychedelics in Christian Art

For many years now, people have noticed psychedelic mushrooms throughout religious art. Often in scenes from the Bible. In fact, across medieval artworks, you’ll seem to find these “mushrooms” everywhere. Like the Plaincourault fresco, that 12th-century wall painting of the Garden of Eden. It’s a bizarre image, the tree of knowledge looks like a giant fungus. Then there are the visions of Hilde...

    The Chelyabinsk meteor was the most documented case in the world: as most cars in Russia have dash cams (traffic seems to be a little weird there) and it was early morning many people were going to work, and the security cameras on the city, hundreds or even thousands of images of it were captured. It exploded before touching the ground. Lunar and solar rainbow halos are really common and caused by ice, I saw one hen I was a child while the radio didn't stop talking about it (it is very rare in tropical countries), and another one a few years ago, multiple suns are described even by Shakespeare, and are a meteorologic phenomena cause by ice in high altitudes too.

    I'm going too say it purgatory seems a bit excessive like okay I think hanging good above people is fine if they're dead they aren't gonna need it but walking through fire for who knows how long cuz you enjoy sexual activity no that's too far I feel that's more fitting for wrath you know feeling the pain you inflicted on others and now I realise wow the devil is just frozen down there in for don't you think it's dumb too freeze one of your biggest threats as a way to neutralise them and then drop them in a fiery out where the ice would melt I feel like you should have more security around this guy also I feel like rehabilitation for sinners is better than eternal torment you know because if you're telling people they go too hell if they don't follow you is probably gonna make people resent you and treat kindness like a chore rather than basic human decency and no I'm not disrespecting the holy spirit in just being realistic and Letting the holy spirit know that all this power they hold doesn't make them better than me or anyone and if God thinks he is more worthy of better than any of us then he is no better than the sinners down in he'll and if he has a problem with me saying that then say it too my face and stop acting like your too good for this world

The country Ethiopia mentioned in New Testament as " Queen of Ethiopia Her name known by Hindeke .... " in the early days of Christianity on the Book of Acts Chapter 8 No 26 - 40 in 42 GC ( 34 EC ) some months after Our Lord Jesus Christ bring Crucified on the Cross and in year before 70 AC of the 3rd time Israelites Exile by Romans.

    There are women's only private clubs - which should be fine, and should be respected as a bit of history. My club allowed women in 1990, but the women's club, in 2024 is still only women. We should respect that there are places that are limited access - both to women, and men. That is kind of what equality means. Unless you want to open the women's club to men, which great - it looks amazing, but it is nice as an option to have places that are limited access. I would presume, for them as well as 'us' - hence why the women's club, still does not allow men. 99.999% of places are open to everyone, why can't a small number be just for a particular thing? I'm totally for inclusion, but why can't a small number of things be exclusive?

    Nonsense!! Some of these countries adopted biblical names! For example, present day Ethiopia is not the biblical Ethiopia.

    The artists that "make it" are only allowed to be popular today if they are either sold out to the false thrones, or they get the attention of the "elite" and get fame through the media forms, which has always been dominated by these false thrones. That's how it works today. It is an elegant guess to assume it has been this way for a long time. These higher ups even own time. They changed our calendar and even created BC and AD.
