The Full Guide To Ancient Biblical and Hebrew Cosmology

When the ancient Hebrews looked up at the night sky, they not only saw a canopy of twinkling heavenly bodies, but they also believed they were looking directly at the floor of God's Throne Room!

Yahweh was their triumphant deity who battled terrifying sea monsters at the beginning of time. Emerging victorious, he mounted his throne located right on top of the "firmament", a biblical term we generally equate with "sky", yet its actual meaning is much more nuanced. It comes with an entire mythos of its own.

This and similar curious concepts you'll find all throughout this video give us an idea about how the cosmology of that time vastly differed from ours, a time when the line between cosmology and mythology was blurred.

In this video we explore the fascinating world of the ancient biblical cosmos, this snowglobe-like structure, along with its own desolate underworld, its planets, astronomy, and the Seven Heavens spread out majestically above it.
This journey will leave you fascinated :)

I showered, changed my sheets, put on my warm socks, and now I get to watch a 40 minute video about old ass cosmology 😌😌

[mouzsx]

This might be the best video I have ever found explaining Hebrew cosmology // different worldview perspective... Thanks!!!🤩🥲😱

[Userw]

Fascinating info, enjoyed the soothing music too!

[shivvWhore]

There's something nice about the creation myth stating that God was so lonely when he first appeared that he wished for and manifested the world and then manifested us for company, that is sad but also beautiful.

The sea, the abyss, the underworld, the cosmos, chaos represent UNCONSCIOUSNESS. When you "walk on water" You are rising above from unconscious to conscious. To become conscious you need to be true, to allow the light of the knowledge in. Beautiful 👌 i love that its narrated with visuals

[ildistortli]

just watched a vdeio with a christian scholar and he mentioned isrealite cosmology and i just watched this whole video. and it is veryw ell put together despite your low sub count

[yashprakashover]

I'm a little bit late to the video, but loved the fact that you've uploaded a 40 min video 😁

[weirdowl]

Excelent video, thanks so much for sharing it, waiting for more! <3

[yoursleepparalysisdemon]

This is so well made and well explained.
Love it ❤

[skiddwister]

The amazing element of this video is the seamless tying together of lore. As a Christian who believes in Biblical cosmology, it has me in deep thought. In the whole of the Bible, the only thing Yahuwah didn't create was water. Water is what everything was birthed from after Father brought order to it.

Great job. Thank you.

In the book of Enoch the Luminaries are angels in chariots. This is why the hebrew word for star means prince. This is why the stars are also referred to as the host of heaven

[callmeishmael]

The ancient Greeks’ Hades was also an underworld where all the dead went regardless of one’s lifetime activity. Thus, it was only one’s fame that lived on after death. This was also repeated in the epic of Beowulf in Dark Age mythology.

[Mythendor]

"Heaven is three fingers thick!" <== that's what SHE said!

[Gematria]

Video described in meticulous detail, I wanted your input regarding some things; do you think the seven heavens could constitute where the individuals would reside on each “classical planet, ” as opposed to seven domes, for example, residing on the moon as one heaven and Mercury the other. The seven earths, also, were mentioned by the Summerians, do you perceive that to be a form of reflection of what happens above ( seven heavens) occurs below, thus, could it allude to seven earth layers or seven separate earths?

[I.Clarify]

14:00 thereabouts Re: Sheol ( Soul?) It has been suspected to have meant originally "coming from or belonging to the sea, " the supposed stopping place of the soul before birth or after death [Barnhart];

[collin]

You ever seen Gregg Bradens video about reading DNA using gematria?

[kevinsayes]

You’d think the person who created the everything could give an account of doing so that was even a little bit sensible or accurate. Weird that.

[matrixresetinprogress]

Wow man, hey guess what ¿¿¿¿ No ones been beyond the firmament. No one.

[MetalSnake]

I just want to be with the Father and the Son in Heaven. But my life isn't that of martyrdom for the sinners. Though I guess you can sacrifice in many ways life the most precious resources we humans have, which is time. But i am not completely sure. Meditation and communication to the Father is difficult for me because I don't know the real skills to do so. They say its like understanding emotions and imagining the colors of Indigo and Gold. I have so much faith that I don't need to hear with my ears but it would be nice to remember.

[babymuffinnugget]

The deep is above the seventh heaven. The second heaven is above the firmament (space). The firmament is above the Earth with the Earth having its own seas. Creation is fashioned after the heaven above the deep which is the light of Day. One true meaning of as above so below. Each bed of water serves as a bottom of a previous world but the top of another which lies beneath it.
