In this podcast, we study & dissect the Bible in detail; whether you're a skeptic, a scholar, everyday reader, or whether you've never really considered checking out what the Bible has to say. We go into word studies, context, history, science and philosophy, yet come back to the basics. So, follow along if you'd like to hear what God has to say.
King Abimilech of Garar (a city-state of the Philistines) takes Sarah as one of his women. God watches over Abraham and Sarah and protects them, though despite a repeated mistake.
After God, saving Lot and his two daughters. They moved from Zoar to the mountains, where they stayed in a cave. What transpired from there?
As unfortunately, this is a story about incest, so many legalistic and religious people may be quick to judge and crucify the two daughters. It’s clear by the story that their actions are not being promoted. However, this shows how we should be slow to judge them. They must’ve been aware of...
A Lot had just escaped to Zoar, Abraham wakes up that morning, looking over the planes and sees the region destroyed and smoke rising from the land.
Everything in the story of Abraham and the Dead Sea Valley has been leading up to this point: the tragic end of Sodom and Gomorrah.
When it comes to Sodom and Gomorrah, there’s a lot of historical and archaeological conversations and research surrounding it. Here are some links to further learn and investigate:

It wouldn’t be fair, not to address the topic of homosexuality and LGBTQ related matters in relation to talking about the topic of Sodom. Many times both sides are afraid to address the real issues of the passage of Sodom and what really was occurring and taking place, so we dive deep Into a fair examination of what was going on in scripture and what God has to say on the topic.
Here’s a link to the clip that I used at the begin...
The two angels/otherwise known as the two men which they were referred to, as by both the people of the city and by lot, we’re staying with a lot at his home, while a disturbing event transpired with the Sodomite community… they showed up to r**e the guests. Thankfully, God has a plan through the two messengers to rescue a lot and his relatives out of Sodom.
Two angels show up to Sodom, which is ironic since there were three men who visited Abraham just the chapter before and they said they were going to Autumn, and two of them went ahead. Ironically, one of the men was God himself, so it seems as if the other two men who went ahead as scouts and messengers were the two angels.
It’s beautiful how a lot takes them in hospitably and is concerned for their safety and well-being!
After seeing off two of the men that were visiting Abraham the third who was God himself stuck around, and Abraham dared to stand up and question God about destroying the city of Sodom. He questioned whether God would destroy righteous people along with evil people. God reassure them that he wouldn’t.
We also discussed the importance of the number 10 and it’s legal significance and being the number of minimum required in order t...
This section of the passage contains a few different elements. It begins with the three men looking out over Sodom as Abraham sees them off. Then God has an internal debate with himself whether or not he should tell Abraham what he’s planning on doing. He decides to and reveals that he’s going to visit and check out Sodom because he’s heard That it is an evil and sinful place.
Here is a link to The Move podcast with Justin Khoe:
After finalizing the covenant, Abraham was sitting at his tent door when God appeared to him, but when he looked up, he had three visitors. He prepares food for them and God and one of the visitors confirm that they would come by again in a year when Sarah has her kid. Considering her age Sarah thought this was a joke.
Our Shortest Episode Yet! The end of Genesis 17 covers Abraham’s follow through in performing the sign of the covenant that God had asked him to do to show he and all his house were committed.
Abraham and God are finalizing their covenant. Now God finishes the conversation with him by telling Abraham that he’s going to have a son with his wife Sarah even though they are 100 years and 90 years old respectively.
God is finalizing the covenant with Abraham. The sign is circumcision.
God appears again to Abram. Who wants to fully get the covenant up and running because they had some unsettled business. God re-promises people in land. He also a name change. From now on Abraham is Abraham.
After Hagar runs away from her mistress Sarah, she is pregnant and traveling down south out of the borders of Canaan and into the desert between Canaan and Egypt. That’s when the angel of Yahweh showed up. We discuss who this mysterious “angel” (or messenger) is. Is it a heavenly being, a human messenger or is it God Himself?
Abram and Sarai still haven’t had children to this point and they had moved back to Canaan 10 years ago. Sarai comes up with the bright idea to have her husband sleep with her servant… let’s see how it turns out.
God makes a covenant with Abram. He asks Abram to make a sacrifice. After preparing the sacrifice and night came, a dark terror came over him…
The BEMA Podcast breaks down this passage really well: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-bema-podcast/id1148115183?i=1000378470297
In this episode the word of Yahweh comes to Abram Innovision. We talk about what the word of the LORD is and what what some different meanings of that and vision are. This episode in the passage in Genesis 15 is all about Abrams faith and trust in God, despite the questions he raises.
When Abraham was still with the two kings, the king of Sodom asked if he wanted to keep the spoils and possessions, but Abram turned down the offer.
There’s a lot of controversy around the legendary man Melchizedek. He was a king and priest. Yet Psalms and Hebrew say more about him. Is he someone more, or did he just have an interesting story backdrop potentially like that from 2 Enoch:

Here’s a map of Abram’s route and that of the kings through Chapter 14:
