The New Humanity
In the opening pages of the Bible, God appoints humans to rule the world on his behalf. But when they rebel, the biblical story leads us on a search for a new humanity that will be God’s faithful partners, forever. This is the plot conflict of the biblical story that leads to Jesus, and we explore it in this final video of our Spiritual Being series. #NewHumanity #BibleProject #BibleVideo
The Satan and Demons Question and Response - BibleProject
The topic of The Satan and Demons explores some of the strangest passages in the entire Bible. We gathered some of your questions after our video released and respond to them in a question and response video. Thank you for engaging with our content! Link to our podcast: http://bit.ly/2Wl4LdG Link to notes: https://bit.ly/2VKtfI1 The Satan and Demons video: http://bit.ly/2KrOAE2 Questions 1. (1:14) Why did God allow The Satan to live in the Garden of Eden, even if it was in rebellion against Him? 2. (5:22) What are the seraphim? Why do you call seraphim "snakes" instead of "burning ones?" 3. (13:06) Wasn't The Satan named Lucifer? Where did the name "Lucifer" come from? 4. (19:22) Why do you say "The Satan" instead of just "Satan?" Why did translators leave out the "The" when translating the Bible? 5. (24:42) When the world was created, God said it was "good."

The Satan and Demons
The storyline of the Bible presents a populated spiritual world, full of creatures who are in rebellion against their Creator, just like humans. For lots of fascinating reasons, our modern conceptions of the Satan and demons are based on serious misunderstandings of the Bible. So let’s go back to the book of Genesis and start over as we learn about the powers of spiritual evil in the story of the Bible.

Angel of the Lord
The Angel of the Lord is one of the most fascinating spiritual beings in the Hebrew Scriptures. Every time this figure appears, he’s depicted as if he is God, but also an angel sent by God. In this video, we explore this paradoxical character and discover how he prepares us for the grand claims that will be made about Jesus in the New Testament. #Angels #AngeloftheLord #BibleVideo
Biblical Law
Have you ever wondered why there are so many ancient biblical laws in the first books of the Bible? What are modern readers supposed to do with them, and why are some of them so odd? In this video, we explore why the laws were given to ancient Israel and how they fit into the overall storyline of the Bible. #Law #BibleProject #BibleVideo
Angels and Cherubim
Did you know that angels in the Bible don’t have wings? Or that cherubim are not cute, chubby babies? In this video, we explore the biblical portrayals of angels and cherubim to understand just who they are and what role they play in the story of the Bible. #BibleProject #Angels #SpiritualBeings
The Divine Council
What on earth is the divine council? Well, for starters, it’s not on earth! This biblical phrase describes the concept of spiritual powers that God created to have authority alongside humans... until everyone rebels and creates huge problems that only Jesus can resolve. We dig into all of this and more in episode three of our Spiritual Beings series. #BibleProject #BibleVideo #DivineCouncil
Elohim
Did you know that the biblical word for God, Elohim, is actually a title and not a name? And did you know that "Elohim" can refer to other spiritual beings as well as to the creator God? In this video, we explore the biblical terminology for spiritual beings and how this helps us understand what the Bible means when it says that “God is one.” #Elohim #BibleProject #BibleVideo
Intro to Spiritual Beings
In the first pages of the Bible, we’re introduced to God and humans as the main characters. But there’s also a whole cast of spiritual beings who play an important role throughout the Bible, though they’re often in the background. In this video, we begin to explore these beings and how they fit into the unified storyline of the Bible. #SpiritualBeings #BibleProject #BibleVideo
Bound for Rome: Acts 21-28
In the final video in our Acts series, we trace Paul’s final journey to Jerusalem and then into a Roman prison. But paradoxically, Paul’s suffering leads him into the heart of the Roman empire where he gets to announce God’s Kingdom over the nations. #Acts #Paul #BibleProject
