So What? - "From Now Until Forever", A Study in Ancient Hebrew Understandings of Time and Eternity

A "So What?" video probes into the meaning of a Scripture passage. This "So What?" examines a peculiar phrase that occurs in the Psalms of Ascent, "From Now Until Forever," by exploring various ancient Hebrew understandings of time and eternity.

This video also includes footage of view of modern-day Nablus (biblical Shechem) from the top of Mount Gerizim.

So What? - Psalm 125

A "So What?" video probes into the meaning of a Scripture passage. This "So What?" peeks under the surface of Psalm 125 and wonders if there's a little more than meets the eye. What if this psalm is not just confidence in the Lord in the face of evil but also Judah's opportunity to thumb its nose at the northern tribes?

This video also features many photos of Jerusalem, along with a handful from Haifa and the West Bank.

1 Enoch, "Book of the Watchers" Flannelgraph

Angels & Humans & Giants—Oh, My! The Book of 1 Enoch was a popular story in first century Judea. Jesus read it, Paul read it, and the biblical book of Jude refers it constantly. Some early Christians thought it was Scripture. Here is a presentation of that story via flannelgraph / feltboard. Enjoy!

BTW, a Watcher is a type of angel who is supposed to "watch over" human affairs.

For more information on how Jude used this book, see my paper, "The Background Stories of Jude".
