The Bible Wasn’t Written for Us — And That’s Why It’s Misunderstood

The Bible Wasn’t Written for Us — And That’s Why It’s Misunderstood

The Bible is often called strange, confusing, or even unbelievable.
But what if the problem isn’t the Bible itself?

What if these stories only sound strange because we’ve forgotten the ancient world they came from?

In this documentary-style journey, we travel across the ancient Near East, Egypt, Anatolia, Persia, Greece, and Rome to uncover how archaeology, forgotten cities, and ancient memory change the way the Bible is read.

From Jonah and Nineveh, to Joseph in Egypt, to Daniel in Babylon, and finally to Jesus under the Roman Empire, each story begins to make sense when placed back into its original historical and cultural context.

This video is not about proving the Bible right or wrong.
It’s about remembering the world it was written in.

Stay until the end — one discovery changes how the Bible is understood forever.
