ENOCH, The Bible's Greatest Mystery Will BLOW Your Mind! Enoch might be the most enigmatic character in the entire Bible. We get a brief glimpse of Enoch in the opening of Genesis, only for him to disappear. The next thing we know, he shows up in a collection of strange literature found at Qumran, the famous Dead Sea Scrolls. The community at Qumran was transfixed by Enoch; one of their favorite books was 1 Enoch, mostly known as The Book of Enoch. 1 Enoch is usually divided into five different sections, similar to how the Torah consists of five books. These different sections in 1 Enoch were written over a span of hundreds of years, and our focus will be on the second section, called the Similitudes of Enoch or the Parable of Enoch. The Similitudes have all the apocalyptic veneer, mystical teachings, prophecies about the end of the world, and a savior. What shocks most people when they read the Similitudes is that this savior looks like a sort of prototype for how early Christians...

Who is the Holy Spirit? The Truth Few Christians Know Who is the Holy Spirit? Most people think the Holy Spirit is simply an abstract divine force, something like God's energy floating in the universe. But get ready, because what the scriptures reveal about his identity is going to destroy everything you were taught in church. Because we are talking about a being with his own personality, emotions, will, and power to do things that defy the laws of physics. A being who was present before time existed, who created the universe alongside the Father and the Son, and who has the capacity to be in millions of places simultaneously. In this exploration, you are going to discover who the Holy Spirit really is according to the original scriptures, why most Christians have an incomplete understanding of his nature, and the specific role he plays in your daily life that probably was never correctly explained to you. You are going to understand why he is called by seven different names in the...

From the four living creatures, who stand in the presence of the Father, the son who sits upon the throne and exerts justice. I saw them at midnight, as I lay on my chair and great fear came upon me and they said, "fear not, son of man, peace unto you, we bring grace and truth from the throne of the living God. Your knees are strengthened to stand in the path ordained for you, your hands are empowered to wrought the very works of him that walked upon the earth". The wheels in the wheels, with eyes all over, hovered and spoke! "Eyes that wander the surface of the earth, seeking men who will put upon their lips, the name of the Lord and raise it as a banner before the sons of men". The four living creatures spoke again and said "who shall stand the mighty one? who can withstand the one mighty in battle, he fought and won and gave the spoils to the sons of men that they will exert dominion in the might of his name and the excellency of his power. O the wheels in w...

⚡ DID HUMANS WITH FACES ON THEIR CHESTS EVER EXIST? ⚡ Ancient writers once claimed that strange tribes of humans existed with no heads at all. Instead, their eyes, nose, and mouth were said to be located on their chest. These mysterious beings were known as the Blemmyae. Greek and Roman historians wrote about them more than 2,000 years ago, and medieval maps even showed them living in distant parts of Africa. At the time, many people believed the world was filled with unknown creatures and hidden civilizations. But modern historians believe these stories were myths, traveler exaggerations, or misunderstandings of real people seen from afar. Today, there is no scientific evidence that humans with faces on their chest ever existed. Would you have believed this legend if you lived in ancient times? 🤔

On this day, July 17 in 1794, in the midst of the French Revolution, 16 Carmelite sisters were guillotined : 11 Discalced Carmelite nuns, three lay sisters, and two tertiaries. They were executed near the end of the “Reign of Terror,” and are venerated as true saints and martyrs for the faith.  One of the nuns, 78 year old Sister Mary of Jesus Crucified, was heard to say to her executioners, “I forgive you, my friends. I forgive you with all that longing of heart with which I would that God forgive me!”  Collectively, these nuns are now remembered as the Martyrs of Compiègne. In the years of the French Revolution many thousands of other Catholics were killed by the guillotine, shootings, mob violence, forced drownings in the Vendee, and other forms of butchery. Two years earlier, in August 1792, the government ordered all women's monasteries closed; the seizure and removal of the Compiègne convent's furnishings occurred on 12 September, and the sisters were forced to leave the...
