Jacob’s sons play a dirty trick involving circumcision, and Jacob is outraged, though not in any moral sense. Accepting Yahwelian protection, Jacob banishes any other gods, real or imagined, and builds an altar to the Yahwelians. El Sadday, the Almighty God, appears to Jacob and renames him Israel before beaming back up. The lineage of Esau…
Easter Special: To Raise the Dead
The moveable feast of Easter isn’t until mid-April this year, but God only knows whether any of us will still be here by then, so let’s make some hay while the sun still shines.

Encampment of the Gods
In episode 13, the Biblical soap opera continues, with Laban in hot pursuit of Jacob and his family.

Swindles, Superstitions & Spells
The love triangle of Jacob, Rachel and Leah can be summed up in the words of the Lovin’ Spoonful, “Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her, but then you get distracted by her older sister.” Except in this case, it’s the girls’ father who masterminds the distraction. A battle of wits…
Isaac, Rebekah & Sons
Episode 11 involves cases of mistaken identity, disputes over water rights, receiving blessings under false pretenses, plots of revenge, and violations of airspace by unidentified craft.

SERMONS Video #5 – Noah’s Barbecue
In this episode, the Yahweh Elohim decide to destroy mankind — or do they? Noah and his family are spared, plus enough other creatures to repopulate the planet, so what was the point? Noah is grateful, however, so he builds an altar and barbecues some of the surplus clean beasts for them. This becomes a tradition, even after the…
SERMONS Video #4 – Of Watchers & Nephilim
Our fourth video concludes the story of Enoch and the Watchers that was begun in the previous episode. Are the Nephilim giants, fallen angels, or both?

SERMONS Video #3 – They Might Be Giants
In our third video, we explain and expand upon the first four verses of Genesis 6, about the mating of the sons of God with the daughters of men, and their resulting giant offspring. First Enoch (the Ethiopic Book of Enoch) provides a much more detailed account, which is given in part here, and will…
SERMONS Video #2 – Serpents & Siblings & Spawn
In this second video, we continue our look at Genesis with chapters 3 through 5, including the story of the serpent convincing Eve (and, through her, Adam) to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, as well as the stories of Cain, Abel, and those who came after them, up to the…
