Searching the Scriptures with Watchman Alexander
The hour is late and there's no time to waste; now is when we prepare for the return of the king. Join me, the prophecy buff who tackles the tough stuff, for deep Bible study from an independent, Hebraic perspective.
Episodes
We begin this episode with a discussion about COVID-19 and the passing of Brother Rob Skiba. After that, we discuss the division of the nations and their allotment under the seventy sons of God.
Questions answered during this episode:
- Did fire come down during the Babel incident, as it did during Pentecost (the reversal of Babel)? What about rushing wind and the overthrow of a system?
- Is there any historical evidence for the division of tongues?
- When exactly in history did the Babel incident occur, and how does that fit with the Septeon and Yeshua's first advent?
- Will the heathen ever succeed in bringing the who...
Why was the infamous Tower of Babel such a problem in God's eyes? There's more to the story than we were taught in Sunday school.
This is the second half of episode 46
Sidon, firstborn son of Canaan and founder of the Sidonians, played a huge role in the history of civilization, but most people couldn't say what it was. Today, we begin to explore the impact of Sidon (the giant?) on the story of the Bible.
During the episode, I mention a video about the possible discovery of the remains of Atlantis, the fabled city of Poseidon. Here is the link to that video.
Schedules got crazy, and Terry and I weren't able to sync up to record a new episode, but I didn't want to leave you hanging for too long, so here's my offering: a recording of my inaugural sermon for the Disciples of Yeshua Congregation. (I fill the roles of overseer and lead teacher for DOYC, a new home fellowship based in Central Texas.)
During this sermon, you'll learn about the four Hebrew words that describe classifications o...
From the Dead Sea Scrolls we learn that Canaan, father of the Canaanites, stole part of the territory that belonged to Shem. Thus, the stage was set for God, using descendants of Shem, to forcibly remove the squatters from the Promised Land of Middle Earth.
What exactly was Ham's sin, and what about it is instructive to us, today?
The story of the cursing of Canaan, Ham's son, is necessary to discuss before we launch into the more pertinent topic of Canaan's impact on the world.
Early in this episode, I (Alexander) mentioned a blog post about Daniel's four beast kingdoms. Click here to read that article.
Also in the first portion of the episode, Terry descri...
After Noah and his sons departed the ark, God Most High established a covenant with them, and with all their descendants. That covenant involved two dietary commands:
- Don't consume blood, because the life is in the blood.
- Feel free to eat any remeś (רֶמֶשׂ) thing that lives, in addition to plants.
The first part is easy enough to understand, but the second part generates confusion. What is the meaning of the Hebrew wo...
As we continue studying through Genesis and Daniel, we find ourselves emphasizing the fact that we don't have the mystery all figured out. We're gathering clues to help us understand end-times prophecies, but we haven't even assembled all the clues yet, much less connected them perfectly to construct an airtight narrative.
Sometimes it can be difficult to not be dogmatic. Pride—that most universal of sins—leads us to conv...
We didn't plan it this way, but our fortieth episode happens to largely deal with the forty days of wrath for the wicked and celebration for the saints. I'm going to chalk this nice synchronicity up to Providence.
The episode begins with an explanation of chiastic, or mirror, structure found through the Scriptures, and likely built into the entirety of redemptive history. From there, it moves into discussion of the forty d...
We begin to unpack the prophetic symbolism found within the Flood narrative. Along the way, we consider whether or not the seven days of Noah's separation from the world could equate to seven years of protection for end-times believers.
"And God created... every living creature... after his kind: and God saw that it was good" (Gen. 1:21). Over and over again in the Book of Genesis, Moses records that God created creatures in distinct categories called "kinds," and that mankind, being created in the image of God, was set apart from all other kinds. After each bout of creation, we read that God looked up his work with pleasure, considering it good. Everything ...
What really is the difference between the Mosaic (Old) and Messianic (New) covenants? Is the New Covenant fully in effect now? How does the Law factor in? I cut through all the confusion with an episode-long Q&A about law and covenants.

“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding. Who determined its measures, if you know? Or who stretched the line on it? Whereupon were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone, when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" (Job 38:4-7)
The Book of Job is not the only biblical text featuring these mysteries sons of God. In this episode, T...
Ancient Hebrew scriptures teach that some of the Sons of God mated with mortal women and produced children called Nephiliym. These children were not only hybrids, but giants, huge both in stature and infamy. This episode is an introduction to the giants and a refutation of the Sethite theory, which robs the Genesis 6 account of its supernatural component.
Not every biblical genealogy presents the same timeline. The discrepancies may have been purposefully brought about by God's providence to prevent us from making exact calculations.
Also in this episode:
- Why the pattern of human innovation and technological progress may have begun in the ungodly line of Cain
- How the names of the antediluvian (pre-Flood) patriarchs compose a prophetic message
Most of this episode is dedicated to answering the question, Are Jubilee cycles 49 or 50 years? Along the way, the Watchman contemplates whether the Jubilee year begins in the spring or the fall. Don't miss the addendum at the end of the episode!
Also in the episode:
Who was Cain's wife?
Did men in the days of Enosh begin the call upon YHVH, or did they begin to profane his name?
Here's the link to the Han...
Death is a mighty enemy (1 Cor. 15:25-26) and the last that will be defeated (Rev. 20:14), but did you realize that God uses death to benefit us? As with every negative thing, the Almighty can bring good out of bad. That's exactly what he did by removing mankind's access to the Tree of Life.
Our Q&A this week is from Richard Jenkins, who asks whether the Jubilee cycle is 49 years or 50 years. Our answer will be split i...
It would be remiss of us not to address proponents of Serpent Seed (a.k.a. Dual Seed) theory while we're hanging out in Genesis 3. If some bloodlines today originated with the mixing of Eve's seed with Satan's seed, that would have far-reaching implications. Is it something worry about?
