Join Christopher Enoch for Part 15 of the Genesis Series for a fascinating deep dive into the story of the Tower of Babel from Genesis 11:1-9.

Did you know the Bible mentions the "city" of Babel more than the tower? Or that evidence from Genesis 10 suggests multiple languages already existed?

In this session, Christopher challenges the traditional interpretation, exploring the original Hebrew to reveal a deeper meaning. Discover how "one language" (echad saphah) likely referred to a unified and efficient communication system rather than a single global tongue. Learn why the "tower whose top is in the heavens" was likely a figure of speech for immense pride, similar to language used by Jesus himself.

We'll also look at extra-biblical texts like "Legends of the Jews" to understand the role of Nimrod and compare key manuscripts like the Samaritan Pentateuch and the Septuagint to uncover crucial differences.

This isn't just a story about languages; it's about the power of unity, communication, and the pride that threatened heaven itself.

Was Jesus against all tradition? Many churches teach that Yeshua came to abolish the "traditions of men," pitting him against the Pharisees and their customs. But what if that's not the whole story?

In this deep dive, Christopher Enoch challenges the common anti-tradition narrative by revealing the overwhelming evidence of Jesus and His apostles actively participating in Jewish traditions not explicitly written in the Torah. Discover how the "Oral Law" is not an enemy to be defeated, but an essential key to unlocking a deeper understanding of the Scriptures.

You will learn:

* The one specific tradition Jesus condemned and why it violated the Torah's greater commandments.

* Surprising Jewish traditions that Jesus practiced, including the Last Supper Seder, the Lord's Prayer (His version of the Amida), and even His method for defeating Satan.

* How the saying "the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath" comes directly from ancient Jewish traditional teaching.

* Why the apostles in the Book of Acts continued to live by the customs of the fathers.

* How your Bible translation itself relies on Jewish tradition to make sense of the original Hebrew.

If you've ever felt that something was missing from the modern understanding of the Bible, this episode will connect the dots and equip you to approach Scripture with the intellectual humility it deserves.

Have you ever noticed that New Testament quotes of the Old Testament don't always match what's in your Bible? There's a shocking reason for that, and the answer lies in the ancient manuscripts.

In Part 14 of his Genesis series, Christopher Enoch takes you on a deep, scholarly dive into Genesis Chapter 10, "The Table of Nations." This isn't your typical sermon; it's a detailed, evidence-based comparison of the Bibles used throughout history.

Christopher meticulously compares the familiar Masoretic Text (the source for the KJV, NKJV, NIV, etc.) with much older manuscripts like the Greek Septuagint (LXX), the Syriac Peshitta, and the Samaritan Pentateuch.

You will discover:

A "missing" son of Japheth in the Septuagint that your Bible doesn't have.

Clear contradictions within the Masoretic Text itself when comparing Genesis to 1 Chronicles.

The BOMBSHELL evidence: How the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke includes a man named Cainan who is completely MISSING from the Masoretic Text of Genesis 10... but is present in the Septuagint!

More hard proof that the New Testament authors, including the writer of Hebrews, frequently quoted from the Septuagint—a DIFFERENT Old Testament than the one most people read today.

If you are a serious student of scripture who isn't afraid to ask hard questions and examine the evidence, this is a study you cannot afford to miss. Grab a notebook and prepare to see the Bible in a whole new light.

What really happened in Noah's tent? The Bible says Ham "saw the nakedness of his father," but why was his son Canaan cursed for it? The story in your Bible is missing crucial, shocking details.

In this deep dive with Christopher Enoch, we conduct a verse-by-verse comparative study of Genesis chapters 8 and 9. We put the common Masoretic Text side-by-side with the much older Septuagint, the Syriac Peshitta, the Latin Vulgate, and the Samaritan Pentateuch. You'll discover a glaring contradiction about when the ark rested on Ararat and uncover layers of meaning hidden from modern translations.

The second half of the study uses ancient Jewish commentaries, like those from Rashi and Ibn Ezra, to solve the mystery of Ham's sin. Was it simply looking? Or was it something far more sinister—like castration, sodomy, or sorcery, as the ancient sages believed? We explore the shocking theories and uncover the real reason behind Noah's powerful curse on Canaan.

Did Noah take two of every animal on the ark, or were there many more? The story you know might not be the whole story.

In this deep-dive Bible study, Christopher Enoch continues the Genesis Series by meticulously breaking down Genesis chapter 7. Go beyond the surface-level reading of the flood narrative as Christopher compares five different ancient manuscripts side-by-side: the Masoretic Text, the Greek Septuagint, the Syriac Peshitta, the Latin Vulgate, and the ancient Samaritan text.

Discover the fascinating discrepancies and clarifications these texts provide. We'll explore the critical distinction between the number of clean and unclean animals brought aboard—was it seven pairs or just seven total? This detail reveals profound insights into God's law, sacrifice, and provision, showing that concepts of righteousness and dietary laws existed long before Moses.

Christopher also discusses key verses about the "windows of heaven," the detailed timeline of the flood, and the powerful moment when God Himself shuts the door of the ark. If you want to increase your knowledge of the scriptures and understand the textual history of the Bible, this episode is for you.

In this eleventh installment of the Genesis Series, Christopher Enoch takes a deep dive into the story of Noah's Ark and the flood, challenging common assumptions. By examining various ancient manuscript families, including the Masoretic text, Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate, and Samaritan Torah, Christopher reveals what the original texts say about the ark's design and the flood's scope. He analyzes the Hebrew word "Eretz" to explore the possibility of a local flood and addresses the logistical questions that arise from a global flood narrative. The video also touches on the reasons behind the flood, the true shape of the ark, and insights from the Book of Enoch.

What was society really like in the days of Noah? Was it just violence, or something far more sinister?

Join Christopher Enoch for Part 10 of the Genesis series for an exhaustive deep dive into Genesis 6:11-12. In this study, we go beyond the surface-level reading to uncover the true nature of the corruption that led to the great flood. We compare ancient manuscripts like the Masoretic Text, the Septuagint, and the Syriac to understand the critical difference between "violence" and "iniquity."

Discover what ancient Jewish scholars like Rashi and Ibn Ezra, and texts like the Book of Jubilees and the Sibylline Oracles, reveal about the extreme lewdness, idolatry, and unnatural perversions of that time. We also explore the evidence for Noah being a "preacher of righteousness" and uncover the powerful message of repentance he delivered to a world that would not listen.
