Archaeology for 'the Star who will come from Jacob'

In this video, Joel is in Jordan, exploring the archaeology behind one of the most fascinating prophesies in the Bible. Visiting four sites, Shittim, Bamoth Baal, Pisgah, and Beth Peor, Joel follows the route of the prophet Balaam, who was intent on cursing the Israelites. God, however, compelled a prophet named Balaam to bless them and to foretell of "the Star who would come from Jacob." (Numbers 24:17)

JOEL'S STUDY TOURS

[Hendrix]

As a young kid I wanted to be an archaeologist and dig up mummies in Egypt. Ever since I became a Christian I have wanted to do what you. You make the Bible come alive with your videos and I am incredibly thankful for you and your ministry. I just ordered your book. May the Lord bless you and your family Joel.

I'm Jewish. I'm originally from Israel. When I saw this video two months ago I was quite incredulous and figured I can disprove this thing in a few minutes of research. Two months later I have to say that every historical fact in this video is accurate.
It's quite humbling and quite impressive.

Sovereign Lord, as I navigate the complexities of life, I seek Your wisdom to make sound decisions. May Your peace, like a comforting blanket, envelop my soul in every circumstance. Amen.

You have such a gift for making The Bible come alive. Thank you so much for creating these videos.

It's so cool that you film at the actual site rather then from home using internet pictures. Really makes a huge difference

[apriledraz]

How can I express my thanks for revealing the truth of the bible in a visual way. God is using you in such a powerful way. God bless my brother in unexpected ways and give him long life for your Glory! In Yeshua's name .Amen and Amen

Thanks, Joel, for this wonderful Scriptural enlightenment. I too am a Scriptural Scholar, having studied the Scriptures for years, knowing both OT Hebrew and Aramaic, as well as NT Aramaic, and yet your videos continue to bring further joy and light to me, for which I am very grateful. I thank you also for lifting up the precious Name of our Creator, Savior and Redeemer, Yahweh, in obedience to the 3rd (of the Ten) commandments. I have enjoyed and shared many of your videos and will be purchasing your book soon. Please continue to bring us light and joy, fortifying our foundation of faith, for we surely need it to prepare us for the tumultuous times soon to come, as this age draws to a close, and our precious Messiah returns.

I am blown away and so impressed with you Joel. Your knowledge, wisdom, and the way you’re able to create and deliver these visual teachings (so necessary) to us. I am SO EXCITED to keep learning from you!! And I just bought your book it’ll be my weekend read and study and I am pumped.

I’m a practicing Christian but have barely been to church in 8 years, for many reasons but mostly it’s been hard to stomach the surface level, repetitive sermons that aren’t supplemented by deeper study or learning. All that to say, I’ve gotten closer to God and more passionate about my faith outside the church, relying on works like yours, Ron Wyatt and many others to teach me about the history of my faith and Lord.

THANK YOU!!

[NeetuSingh..]

Wow! very informative. I love to read about Jesus. I am a Hindu from India but I really like the teachings of Christ about forgiveness & The Lord's Prayer is very very important.

[MBVlibrarian]

I love seeing these places described in the Bible and how you connect them so clearly to scripture. Thank you!

[Readthebiblex]

So powerful and beautiful to see our God-King, Jesus through these ancient sites.

[aglaesaitschenko]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your content and your willingness to physically go to all these biblical places and stand there and explain all this, putting your viewer in the location and bringing the stories alive. Thank you!

[scottcaley]

As I’m going through the Bible my 5th time in the past four years, your videos take me right where I want to go! We are so blessed to have you making such relevant and quality materials.

I just ordered your book Where God Came Down, and left a cash contribution to pitch in for your ongoing work ❤

[ncdave]

I have NEVER been as riveted over Biblical archeology as when I view your videos.. you make the Bible come alive for me, rather than just dusty history. Thank you

[mr.bonifacemasaba]

He is worthy of all our praise. We thank God for his wisdom that is upon you.

[jessicaballerstadttaylor]

Being able to see where these things took place, it really makes the Word come alive for me!! Thank you so much for this video!

[christinel.]

[BenWekseth]

I would like to thank you for all your time and hard work in helping someone like me understand the Bible better

[teannathomas]

I absolutely love this channel and these videos. In high-school before I came to christ I thought there was no better archeology than egyptoligy but now I know the best archeology in the world is biblical archeology and I know that thanks to this channel kick starting my immense interest in this topic
