3 Real-Life ‘Miracles’ That Took Place on the Set of ‘The Bible’

Mark Burnett and Roma Downey’s “The Bible” has received a plethora of press and attention since its debut on March 3. But one of the elements surrounding the television series that hasn’t been discussed much is the fascinating set of miracles (some might simply dismiss them as odd occurrences) that took place on set — a series of events that, at the least, are both curious and stirring.

In various interviews over the course of the past few months, Burnett and Downey have been open about their view that the project was blessed by God and that they could feel his “hand” throughout the filming process.

And now, they’re speaking out about some of the bizarre instances that confirmed their contention that the Lord was overseeing “The Bible.” In a recent interview, Burnett told Entertainment Weekly, “The hand of God was on this.”

Here are just a few of the occurrences that convinced the two that the five-part series was being blessed by God:

1) Jesus Speaking to Nicodemus: As they were filming a scene depicting Jesus Christ (played by actor Diogo Morgado) speaking with Nicodemus, a priest and a central character in the book of John, an intriguing thing happened. Just as Morgado (obviously channeling Jesus) said that the Holy Spirit is like the wind (referencing John 3:8), the wind where the cast and crew were filming literally picked up on its own.

According to the Daily Mail, Burnett described the event as follows: “At that moment, a wind, like as if a 747 was taking off, blew his hair, almost blew the set over and sustained for 20 seconds across the desert.”

Obviously, the cast and crew were surprised. But the oddities didn’t end there.

2) Jesus’ Crucifixion: When TheBlaze met with Burnett and Downey to screen scenes from the film late last year, the two explained the difficulties surrounding the crucifixion scene. Considering its dangers, it was among the most difficult to film. But outside of these dangers, there was a potentially-calamitous natural occurrence that stunned the cast and crew.

Burnett and Downey had hired a “snake wrangler” to round up any dangerous reptiles throughout the filming. Normally, as the Daily Mail notes, the catcher would find one or two snakes. But on the day of filming for the crucifixion scene, he rounded up 48 potentially-lethal snakes on the mountain (i.e. set).

This publicity image released by History shows Diogo Morcaldo as Jesus, center, being baptized by Daniel Percival, as John, in a scene from “The Bible” on History. Credit: AP

3) Jesus’ Baptism: Christ’s baptism scene was yet another one that yielded a bizarre happening. As Morgado was acting out the famous Biblical story, an irreplaceable piece of his costume floated away. Likely assuming they’d never see it again, the producers were astounded when a child appeared a few days later to return the article of clothing.

“Four days later, a kid showed up from many, many, many miles away, who had been seeking us through the desert to return this to us,” Burnett said in an interview with entertainment weekly. “He didn’t know what it was why he should seek us, but he felt he had to return it.”

What do you think — mere coincidences or evidence of God’s intervention? You decide.

Beck is a Mormon. LDS believe that a miraculous event happened to each and every one of them, which caused them to believe that the Book of Mormon is true, (regardless of the GLARING issues, which the “Holy Spirit” instructs them to ignore) so it’s no wonder that New Agers dabbling in Christianity should expect to find images of Jesus in soap bubbles and other such nonsense.

  Just FYI, if you want to convince someone that their religion is flawed, you don’t do it by flat out insulting them. Hardly sounds like a Christian method to me. You could be a little more decent in your approach, otherwise you are merely going to turn people off

  There is nothing wrong with being a Mormon or a Catholic or a Baptist–geez! At least they believe in morals, God, and country. And, hey they don’t bother anyone except for the atheists who can’t mind their business. You rarely see Christians murdering, robbing, doing drugs, demanding government pay for their lives and/or their mistakes, etc. however you see godless, liberals/atheists doing all these things then demanding the government fix their lives. God/Government: who do you want telling you how to live your life? For me, it’s sure not a bunch of overpaid, ignorant politicians who don’t have a clue about real life.

  MASTER What is not true about my statement? Or insulting? All Mormons claim to have had a “burning in the bosom” which is allegedly the Holy Spirit instructing them to believe the Book of Mormon is true. (despite the fact it’s written by a false prophet). Right?
  
  JETTA, I will wager that you are the one who doesn’t understand what your religion teaches. And it’s easy for both of you to stand there and throw stones, but I predict you would run away from a rational discussion of Mormon theology.
  
  MBA, you’re entitled to your opinion, but we don’t all share that. If we do all worship the same God, we don’t do it in the same manner, and God’s awfully picky about how one worships Him. Consequently, those who don’t worship Him in Spirit and truth are guilty of idol worship.

  THEOTHERBEREAN, I think you misunderstand me. My comment was not meant to prove you either right or wrong, I merely took issue with the manor in which you said it.
  
  I am a born again Christian, but I follow the teachings of my God which tell me to love both my friends and my enemies. An so I try my best to treat those whom I disagree with respectfully, regardless of how they treat me back. I don’t always hold up to that standard I admit, but it never hurts to try to strive for a little civility in debate.
  
  So out of respect for my fellow citizens who happen to be of the LDS faith, like IMJETTA, I choose to refrain from voicing my difference of opinion until the appropriate time. This article wasn’t intended to start an argument on who’s faith is false and who’s isn’t. But if you wish to have that debate, it would be wiser to frame the debate before making that argument.
  
  Nobody appreciates having apposing beliefs shoved immediately down their throats. You can be factually correct in everything you say, but whether or not your right to say it depends on the manor in which you do it. Imagine if an someone came to your door to tell you that everything they believe in is false, wouldn’t you be turned off? I think the same principle can be applied here, we ought to wait until the proper conversation is started before we go down this trail.
  
  I don’t mean any disrespect by my comments at all, just a humble suggestion…

  I find it not a miracle, nor a coincidence, but quite telling and ironic because you haven’t an original thought to enlighten us with. Telling because you mimic the thousands before you and you fall short, ironic because you all fit into one of two of these misguided, short-sighted, judgemental opinions (not exclusive is this method only to mormons).
  
  Lets see:
  
  A) A disgruntled, ex-communicated mormon with an axe to grind rather than a introspection of one’s self to answer why they chose not the standard that Mormons have, and don’t force, but expect as an active member (they are your friends, your family, your brothers and sisters in Christ whom lift you up and try to help you hold fast to the words of Christ). Mormons groom the actual ‘apostles’ of God (meaning those whom will work in the vineyard and be held to Christ’s standard just as His disciples were held and are, not a high-mindedness but a lowly, meek, humble SERVENT in all things Christ.
  OR…
  
  B) A non-member who has the audacity to think because he’s NOT a member that somehow he knows more about what mormons believe, what the Holy Spirit testifies of to them personally, and that somehow his opinion is elevated above that very Spirit of Truth that we pray in the name of Christ earnestly for, that has testified to each and every investigator (who hasn’t lied) BEFORE they join and are baptized.
  
  That about sum it up for you there friend? Which do you fall under?

  The miracles spoken of in the Bible usually have the common factor that they seem to not follow the normal laws governing nature, or at least they do from man’s perspective. Instantaneous healings for example are simply healing that would occur normally but with the timeframe greatly speeded up as it were. The most incredible ones are where something comes into existence where nothing was previously. Jesus’s healing of the man born blind is perhaps the best example, because nowhere in the Old Testament is such a healing ever heard of or recorded. It was this one event that the religious leaders of His day fought the most vehemently, because it was the one miracle prophesied that only the Messiah would do. Interestingly in Acts the man lame from his mother’s womb being healed is of the same genre. Jesus said of those who believed on him, the works he did, they would do also. Greater works than He did they would also do because He went unto the Father he also said. Which brings us to the greatest miracle of all, namely the new birth. Not possible until Jesus ascended into heaven; greatest perhaps because any who receives it goes from death unto life and is as the Word says “a new creation”.

  I’ll throw in with “master” and Jetta”.
  
  If you can’t see or understand how what you said in both your first and second post was confrontational and rude – it is not wonder you can’t spot a miracle when you see one either. If you were not on the set of the film and did not experience what happened you have nothing to say as to if it was or was not a miracle. Was Jesus withering the Fig tree with a touch not a miracle because you were not there? Was his calming of the sea just coincidence? Perhaps his command on where to draw the fishing nets so that they filled beyond capacity just wishful thinking? And just what gives you authority to claim Joseph Smith wasn’t a Prophet-you present exactly what proof besides your own human reasoning. Has God spoken to you? Did you hear his voice?
  
  You say that God is rather picky on how one worships Him. I’d agree. Might want to re-read His word a time or two. I’d also say that from what I read God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. A God of Miracles then and now. He spoke to His people then, one must assume He speaks to us now. Or perhaps you have your own rules on who or how He works?

  [You rarely see Christians murdering, robbing, doing drugs, demanding government pay for their lives]
  You ever look at the statistics for prisoners? In 1997 only 0.21% were atheist. A ratio less than the population. The vast majority were some denomination of christianity. They probably did bad stuff because they think they’re going to be “forgiven”. Btw I never did drugs, smoked, I don’t like alcohol, and I never lived off the government. Though I know christians that have done drugs and do live off government handouts.

  Mormonism and Beck seem to have less to do with perceiving these events as “divine intervention” than do the expressed opinions of the producers. Why not just focus on the facts and stop leaping to denigrate Beck’s or anyone else’s beliefs?

  You have flawed examples, firstly you throw out stats as if you’re someone of note to believe in soley on your word (sorry, no source no acknowledgement). Secondly, you espouse this ‘holier than thou’ attitude which is confusing coming from an atheist. What you have done or not done in your life adds nothing to your stance, giving examples of FALLEN christians only strengthens the ways of Christ. You don’t site Judas Iscariot as a christian example, anymore than misguided, christians by name only from history. ALERT: If they don’t follow Christ’s example than they are not being a Christian, or at least a good one. No Christians murder millions of babies in the name of convenience, no Christians turn their back on those in need, no Christians judge anyone including you. No Christian would deny your freedom to exercise your belief in nothing, which by the way IS a belief, a faith if you will.

  It might do you well to research the founder of the Mormon religion..Joseph Smith and his father were both Freemasons..Freemasonry was established by Rothschilds..as were all Communist/NWO secret societies..The Rothschilds are said to be from the Tribe of Dan..spoken of in Genesis 49:17 as the serpent that bites at the heels of the horse..causing its rider to fall back..Freemasonry is founded on the “Jewish” religion of Kabbalah..which is witchcraft/occultism..Notice how Mormons fund their own in business..they have innumerable businesses such as power companies..media and food supplies..This is all a part of the Illuminati..and the god of this world..yes..the sheeple need a wolf they can trust..to lead them to the slaughter..

  @Richard,
  Right, nonbelief in god is an act of faith just like my non-belief of santa claus, leprachauns and unicorns. Sure, I cannot positively disprove the assertions that these things do not exist, but to claim that my non belief in these things is an act of faith in itself is ridiculuous. I do not assert with 100% certainty that god does not exist, but after looking at the evidence and hearing the agruments put forth, I can reasonably say with a certain amount of probability, that the existence of a god/gods is very unlikely and I live my life accordingly. I am an atheist in the same regards as I am an a-unicornist, a-fairyist, or an a-leprachaunist.
  The fact that I demand extraordinary evidence in the face extraordinary claims does not mean that I am taking an act of faith in the opposite direction. The fact is, we are both atheists to some degree. The only difference is that I believe in one less god than you do. When you understand why you don’t believe in all other gods, then parhaps you will understand or at least empathize with why I don’t believe in yours.

  You have confidence, comfort in your belief…that is faith, faith is not inclusive to religion nor is it narrowly defined by such. Be proud of your faith as I am, worship as you feel, follow the dictates of your heart, but remember, to have thousands of years of historical references pertaining to God’s existance and then to dismiss it, believing rather in something that is nothing, that has not been ‘entrenched’ in our history in any where near the same magnitude, well I guess I deduce and reason differently than you. I’ll not chance it, my soul’s progress is at stake, the actual visitation of the Holy Spirit to me at the age of 18 (after years of asking if God was real and not receiving any answer or being able to even recognize the Holy Spirit) is proof enough for me.
  
  Funny thing, only when I was stripped of all pride, filled with fear and doubt, and most importantly humbled (not by choice for I was a bull-headed youth) to the point to declare to God that I was nothing, I didn’t know what to do, what to believe, what was true, that I was essentially a fool, a young fool…onlty then did the Holy Spirit testify to me that Christ was indeed real and the very real, true begotten son of Heavenly Father. Even then, I fell back to the ways of the world many times through depression, adversity, and betrayal by loved ones, I’ve learned that I held too much to earthly happiness rather than the eternal happiness promised to the faithful.

  RICHARD, neither. I mostly self taught, having read the Bible dozens of times while researching different scholarly works on the debatable issues, and I moderated a theological discussion forum for 15 years. My opinions are just opinions, and subject to correction, but not unlearned, short sighted and judgmental as you assert. I have debated with the cults, Mormons, Catholics, Jehovah’s Witnesses, for 20 years and have a working knowledge of the theologies of those three.
  
  So… Is your argument that you did NOT have a “burning in the bosom,” or that all LDS must NOT experience and interpret this subjective experience as the Holy Spirit instructing them to believe that the Book of Mormon is true?
  
  HI_DON No, I don’t see where my comments are confrontational or disrespectful. I stated facts. Deal with them, not my character
  
  And, you can assume anything you like, but your “modern day miracles” and “God speaking” arguments are a slippery slope. Do a search if you don’t know what that means. While you’re at it, do a search for “Joseph Smith false prophet.” Then read Deut 13 and 18 for instruction on how to deal with false prophets.

  @Richard,
  You wouldn’t want to chance it for risk of your eternal soul? You don’t want to hedge your bets against god? I would argue that you are already doing that very thing, but you hedge your bets on the Judeo-Christian god. Why not bet on Zeus, Buddha, Allah, Bael, Amun-Ra, etc? What you’ve basically done is pose the question to me of: What if I’m wrong? The presupposition being that if I’m wrong, I’ll be tortured and burned alive for eternity, but if you’re wrong, then nothing happens, is that the gist of it? So what would you have me do? Fake it? I cannot simply choose to believe in something that I don’t believe exists. Besides, if against all odds there is in fact an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent god, I’m sure he would be pretty pissed at me for my attempt at deception.
  I don’t want to, nor I could I ever argue with you over your own personal experiences. It’s futile and ineffectual. Plus it just makes people angry for no reason. But you understand that your “truth” cannot be taken by me, secondhand no less, as fact. As for historical evidence, I would love to know what you’re reading as evidence (not the bible, please) because I find mountains of evidence to the contrary of many christian claims.

  This life is not for us all to be controlled and spared evil, adversity, nor death. That was Satan’s plan, that’s why he was cast out of the councils of Heaven with 1/3 of ALL the hosts of Heaven who backed him. Why does harm befall the innocent and rightous? Were any of God’s people (Christ Himself) spared? They were not, this mortal life is for all of us to figure out how to get along, have compassion despite your own sufferings, and give the gift of love to those who need it along the way suffering at different times, of varying degrees.
  And finally, in order for a rightous judgement upon those who acted within their own freedom to harm others. If God stopped every evil, whom would be judged by their own works? Matthew 16:27 for all whom think that by grace alone you’re saved, just one of many examples of scripture (save your breath please). If God intervened (withoout the faith & prayers of the rightous) wouldn’t then He in effect be fulfilling Satan’s plan and make himself a liar in which case God would cease to be God because God is no liar, Christ is truth and light.

  God did “drop in for a chat” 2,000 years ago and we crucified him. Like Jesus said, however, him coming to earth would not bring us together it would tear us apart (Matthew 10:34). Can you imagine the son of a Jewish carpenter in the 1st Century having the “hubris” to say his life would tear the world apart? I guess it wasn’t really hubris, though, since for 2,000 years his life has actually torn the world apart. That was just one of the many prophecies Jesus told which came true. The world’s problem isn’t God, it’s that the world has rejected God.

Miricles happen each and every day, as attested by them. You see miricles on video nowadays, and it is very heartening, so open your eyes and your heart to what is plain to see and feel by many millions. It is better to hate the sin and not the sinner, as we ALL are. God Bless you.

I read this someplace a long time ago: Part one

“A miracle is a correction. It does not create, nor really change at all. It merely looks on devastation, and reminds the mind that what it sees is false. It undoes error, but does not attempt to go beyond perception, nor exceed the function of forgiveness. Thus it stays within time’s limits. Yet it paves the way for the return of timelessness and love’s awakening, for fear must slip away under the gentle remedy it brings.
A miracle contains the gift of grace, for it is given and received as one. And thus it illustrates the law of truth the world does not obey, because it fails entirely to understand its ways. A miracle inverts perception which was upside down before, and thus it ends the strange distortions that were manifest. Now is perception open to the truth. Now is forgiveness seen as justified.
Forgiveness is the home of miracle. The eyes of Christ deliver them to all they look upon in mercy and in love, Perception stands corrected in His sight, and what was meant to curse has come to bless. Each lily of forgiveness offers all the world the silent miracle of love. And each is laid before the Word of God, upon the universal altar to Creator and creation in the light of perfect purity and endless joy.

  Part 2
  
  The miracle is taken first on faith, because to ask for it implies the mind has been made ready to conceive of what it cannot see and does not understand. Yet faith will bring its witnesses to show that what it rested on is really there. And thus the miracle will justify your faith in it, and show it rested on a world more real than what you saw before; a world redeemed from what you thought was there.
  Miracles fall like drops of healing rain from Heaven on a dry and dusty world, where starved and thirsty creatures come to die. Now they have water. Now the world is green. And everywhere the signs of life spring up, to show that what is born can never die, for what has life has immortality.”

  Maybe to pray for a misguided man at best, wholly evil at worst to have Christ’s light to enter his heart and change him from within, to bring light into the darkness of evil government. Is this not possible? Would this be a miracle or just a tremnedous blessing or both? Would it not cause many to fall to their knees and praise God all the more, expand their faith? Why not? I believe in the redemption of every living soul being a possibility up to their ‘going the way of all the earth’.

I’ve been watching, but I’m still disappointed. Too much is missing to make the stories sensible. Plus, like all movies, much of it is just plain hard to hear. I agree with the black/white issue. The people of that era and location were much more alike than different, and trying to be PC for today is distracting. I still think of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS when I read that part of the Bible, and I’ve found it to be extremely accurate according to my NIV edition. Now, I recognize that they used lots of time to tell the story, & the new TV series has some time limits, however, I would rather have had them tell accurate stories even if they could not have told as many. What would have been wrong with going with 6 nites of stories, or making more for next year? Fewer accurate stories would have been more effective than many with missing or inaccurate parts.

You must be joking? The Bible is the Word of GOD. It is written in perfect prose. The Bible is finest non-fiction Book ever written. How can you take the Holy Bible, and debase it by producing Hollywood fiction for profit? How can you call yourselves blessed when you omit large portions of God’s Truth and His message to mankind?.

Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Find a King James Bible and a Strong’s Concordance. Learn the Word of God. Do not listen to your religious organizations, preachers, or those who teach the doctrines of men. Most of all, do not listen to Hollywood. The time is short.

Read God’s Word for yourself.

  I’m pretty sure that they are not trying to pass this movie series off as the whole and complete Bible.
  
  By your logic one cannot recite or reference a story from the Bible or even share a verse for that matter unless he recites the complete and whole Bible. You want a story with absolutely none of Gods truth omitted? I don’t believe that such a story could be contained in a thousand libraries. God gave us the Bible because it provides us with all that we need in order to understand and come to a growing relationship with God. God most certainly did not bless us with the Bible so that we can cherry pick bits and pieces and use them as bludgeons to beat others into submission. And since you are so quick to quote the Bible, why did you only tell a part of Gods truth. Could it be that you only wanted the part that serves you???
  Please, use your Bible sunlight for the vine so that The Lord may reap good fruit. Not to cast shadows upon others vines so that they wither and die. Each and every one of us is intended to produce the fruit of our own kind. It does no good to merely read the whole Bible, but to read the Bible as a whole. God does not change, but we do, and so must our relationships with God.
  Please give thanks that Hollywood is putting out this story and are attracting millions to the word of God rather than the filth that they usually expel.

  The producers are advertising The Bible as the Bible. Not as selected segments.
  
  Why not create a film about one story in the Bible? Quoting the Bible honestly, directly, and correctly?
  
  Why? because they don’t want you to know what it really says.

  Perhaps to look at it from the perspective that every soul is of worth, and this is programming that is truly in direct conflict to the darkness filling 95% of the rest of television programming, AND if our all-knowing God can reach some whom otherwise may not know Him, might not have scriptures and then be awakened to further pursue these stories by actually reading them…what a blessing!. Remember the Lord has used Satan’s devices (Hollywood in this case) many times in bringing about His righteous purposes.

  A omission is the same as a lie. If you were GOD, would you want your written word changed, manipulated, or used for financial profit?
  
  After watching poorly produced films like THE BIBLE, no wonder the skeptics laugh, or turn the channel.

  The King James Bible is the most accurate “English” transition that we have. Over the years the other translations have been watered down, changed, and manipulated. The King James Bible, in conjunction of the Strong’s Concordance, can be checked with the original Hebrew and Greek texts. The only other option you have is to learn the Hebrew and Greek yourself. Or worse yet, believe what someone else is telling you.
  
  I have studied the scriptures as a scholar for over 45 years. I know what is in them, and I know what isn’t. Your Churches, Pastors, religious leaders do not want you studying the Bible on your own. There is knowledge there, they don’t want you to know. They don’t want you be to free. Only to follow them.
  
  I challenge you all. Study for yourself. Study alone. But If you truly wish to walk with GOD, you won’t be alone, because the Holly Spirit will guide your steps, and open up the mysteries hidden since the beginning of the age.
  
  I challenge you. Time is short. very short.

  I couldn’t agree with you more on the KJV, it wasn’t written by one man, it was translated by the most preminant religious scholars of the time from different denominations. Martin Luther has nothing to do with the KJV, he was part odf the reformation and founded the Lutheran Church. These ‘hip’ new translations have watered down the truth to a dangerous stumbling block for many ‘seekers’. And you are so right about reading for yourself, it really is a simple as exercizing your faith, asking God in prayer to enlighten your soul to the truths contained. You don’t need someone to tell you what truth is unless they follow the same pattern and have more time in than you, then of course you ‘pick’ the brain of your elder for increased understanding of the truths you have found with scriptual references of course, always. I’m sure that you would rejoice (just as the angels in Heaven) over just one conversion through this T.V. show, one soul saved, though. : )

  One more thing friend, when you study or read from the Bible do you read it in it’s entirety every time or ‘select’ stories, chapters each time? Do you follow me? Does this in any way pervert the truth of the rest of the Bible and do you not think that Christians themselves do not have their faith increased by faith-based programming? A good example is every bit as effective as the written word and sets a course for the inquisitive to follow. God can set us on the right, correct path but He will not tell us every turn to take even with fervent prayer, he wants us to exercise and develop our own intelligence as well.

  It depends. Sometimes whole chapters. At which time it’s important to read it in context and always identify the “subject”. Many times I research topics. It all depends where the Spirit leads.
  
  Jesus Christ is our High Priest. But, all who are His Chosen, the elect, are Priests themselves. We have no need of a special Church hierarchy. The Church is the Body of Christ, not a building. There is no need for special Priests. No need of special people to gain access to GOD. Jesus Christ gave His Elect access to the Holy of Hollies. The Temple? The Temple is Christ Himself. Not made with man’s hands. Church elders are servants and teachers. Not a special ruling class. No special hand shakes, no special clothing, and no hidden ceremonies. We are Christs. All and All. We are Free in Christ.
  
  Don’t let the organized Churches, all 400 plus denominations, cheat your of your Christian Heritage. Come out of the Babylon of confusion before its too late. For it is almost too late….

A number of years ago on Halloween, three young children and their mother rang the doorbell. One child was dressed as a reindeer, one as an elf and one as Santa (Mom was Frosty). It was about 50 degrees on a partly cloudy day.

The four year old boy who was dressed as Santa exclaimed, –with his hand clentched in a fist, extending his arm outward– , “Snow!”. As they left to continue with their candy collecting, he continued exclaiming (almost demanding) “Snow! Snow! We need snow!”.

About ten minutes later, snow flurries fell for about five minutes, and then the sun came out.

>Coincidence?.

Last nights episode depicted a black Sampson, bedding a white Delilah, and the Phillistines were portrayed as an army of white Racist who were after Sampson simply due to racism. This is utter BS ! The low information voter will now say that white guilt began in the Bible. Utter PC programming,and purely of the Devil himself.

  This series is trying to be more accurate. Egyptians and the Middle East in general have peoples who were and are black and ebony,in skin tone and many to this day are considered black Hebrews in parts of Africa. A black Sampson is very plausible.This was about two people that hated each other for generations. Philistines vs. Israelites. The Philistines would have hated a white,blue-eyed Sampson simply because he was an Israelite. The series is doing well for itself, but “The Ten Commandments” with Charleton Heston is still my favorite at Easter.

“The Bible on the History Channel is a fictional story very loosely based on a true story from a book also known as the Bible. Millions will watch, few will read.”

This was my comment about the series after I watched the first episode and someone asked my opinion. The greatest miracle would be this show accurately reflecting biblical history which doesn’t happen. The sad thing is that people who do not know their bibles will rely on this show for biblical knowledge.

The Holy Spirit has many forms and manifestations. A wind that sounds like rushing water, a dove and tongues of flame to name a few. Why wouldn’t He be present to bless the film industry finally doing a movie that is biblically correct? Praise His holy name!

Doesn’t surprise me at all. “Wind” used to be a nickname for me in the early 90′s because I could call upon the Wind and it would blow. People used to ask me to do that a lot. Used to scare the you know what out of people. I moved and haven’t seen those people for 20 years. Trees would raise their branches too on a completely windless day. I’ve had people actually run away screaming.

  I did have one instance here in Tampa at a job I once had. Worked outside and was thanking a Dragonfly one morning when a coworker saw me and walked over. I had my arm extended in front of me with my index finger pointed down and moving it. He came over asking what I was doing. When he got close enough he saw I was petting a hovering large (about 4″ green with purple eyes) Dragonfly. I said I was thanking my friend for eating the misquotes. He backed up slowly with his jaw dropped and eyes widened. Things like that have happened since I woke up. Birds, lizards, bees, wasps, rabbits….. they come around when I’m in the “zone”.

  MONK
  Ever been to Assisi or San Antimo?
  Of the two, it seems, Antimo is what you (would) know.

  Hi Spirited,
  
  Never been to either. I left this for you on that other story;
  
  I still have to put together the mini Monk dictionary so people will “understand” what I’m saying.
  
  Yes, “understand” is one of the words. In a Monk’s world the word “understand” is one step up from “intemperate” and means “to stand underneath or below the truth”.
  
  The 4 steps in knowing are;
  1- intemperate
  2- understand
  3- realize (Realize the truth of something)
  4- recognize (Recognize the truth when you see it again)
  
  There’s a breeze for you. : )

  Monk- why don’t you read books that’s kind of essential. You know the bible being one? I mean I can understand giving up technology but books seems like foolishness

  Hi DLV,
  
  I’ve read plenty of books in the past including all the scriptures and the Bible. Wise men and the works. After I woke up I didn’t need to read scriptures or the Bible and the other books anymore. I already know the problem with Mankind and what needs to be done to fix it. I do study things and have to read books for that. Like computers or work related stuff.
  
  Mankind has one problem. I know what it is because I found it in me. I see it all the time as I look at the world and this one thing explains everything. Once you find it for real it’s hard to read.

  Monk- I’m sure you mean well, but god never has us just “stop”. He doesn’t want you to read the bible for 30 years and then say “I’ve learned all I need to know.” There is always more to find and go for and new truth to learn. Theologians spend their entire life in the bible and they’ll readily admit to you, they’ve only scratched the surface. Faith in Christ is a lifelong process not a short term one. It’s possible I read you wrong. Correct me if I’m off track here.

I am of the belief that there are no coincidences.

Coincidences.

When the good Lord decides to make His presence felt, you’ll ALL know it.

Definitely God’s intervention. That’s really cool!
