  The Future According to the Bible 16.10.2026 12min

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPvJ-M-hU5wUploaded 04-03-25But according to the Bible, the future is far from peaceful. Prophecies warn of the Great Tribulation, a time of unparalleled suffering, global turmoil, and deception. The rise of the Antichrist, a powerful world leader, will mark the beginning of a dark era. The construction of the Third Temple in Jerusalem is one of the key prophetic signs, setting the stage for the fulfilment of end-time events. The Bible also describes a future filled with war, famine, and plagues—culminating in the final battle of Armageddon, where nations will gather for a climactic showdown. This will lead to the Second Coming of Christ, when he returns to defeat evil, where the fate of humanity will be decided.The Bible outlines five major prophecies about our future—events that remain unfulfilled. And in this video, I’ll show you what they are.Disclaimer: Before we begin, a quick note… The topic of biblical predictions is a difficult one. While some people are well-meaning, others have used these prophecies to manipulate, create fear, or push political agendas. That’s why I’m here—to cut through the speculation and focus on what the Bible actually says, using its own words where possible. If I have an agenda, it’s this: to create a resource that’s well-researched and academically sound.Goodness gracious, 853K subscribers! Thank you.H.-------------Chapters:00:00 Introduction00:42 I.

  The Tower of Babel (But Biblically Accurate) 16.10.2026 14min

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9sTr6n0MFcUploaded 28-03-25What REALLY happened at Babel? The Tower of Babel is one of the most famous stories in the Bible—where God confuses the universal human language and scatters the people across the earth. But where did the Tower of Babel come from? In this "biblically accurate" guide, I’ll dive into Old Testament history to explore the true origins of the Tower of Babel. We’ll look at how this story may have been inspired by the Babylonian ziggurat, Etemenanki, a massive structure that stood at the heart of ancient Mesopotamia.Helpful PSA: I use the term “biblically accurate” with caution. Of course, interpretations vary, and the term can be a bit loaded depending on your background or beliefs. This video isn’t about pushing a particular theological view—rather, I pride myself on research, historical context, and digging into the ancient world behind the text. So if you’re a fan of history, biblical studies, or just want to know what might have happened at Babel—this one’s for you!Thank you for 867K subscribers, whoop!H.--------Chapters:00:00 Intro00:43 The Tower of Babel04:51 The Etemenanki08:58 The Babylonian Exile10:38 Final Thoughts11:23 Outro--------👽📺 Listen to my podcast, The Interruption:On Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/7gnUglG...On Apple:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast...-----Sources and Further Reading:Genesis 11:1-9https://biblehub.com/genesis/11.htmThe Tower of Babel Stele M2 2063https://www.schoyencollection.com/history-collection-introduction/babylonian-history-collection/tower-babel-stele-ms-2063The Tower of Babel Stele Found in Babylon by Olof Pedersenhttps://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/A712F186B2FA1965854911081620467B/S0021088924000044a.pdf/tower_of_babylon_stele_found_in_babylon.pdfTower of Babel - Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel---------Music and Footage: Intro - Epic of Gilgamesh in Sumerian by Peter Pringle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUcTs...Ghaith by Ali SabahVia Epidemic SoundPandora's Box by Arthur BensonVia Epidemic SoundMin Wahi El-Lami by Ali SabahVia Epidemic SoundSalat Alsabah by Feras CharestanVia Epidemic SoundOutro - Peaceful Ambient Music by CO.AG https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcav...

  The Quest To Become A Freemason 16.10.2026 16min

  The Freemasons are a secretive organisation cloaked in mystery. To some, they are a cult or a dark brotherhood behind world events. To others, they are misunderstood, and far less mysterious than conspiracy theories would have us believe. What do we really know about them? There's only one way to find out: to try to join them. From visiting the Grand Lodge in London to learning the Rituals and finally making an application; becoming a fully-fledged Freemason is harder than I thought. Longer too! But that's where a not-so-secret Facebook group comes in...Uploaded 30-08-22From my investigation, I do not believe that they are a malicious organisation of Satan worshiping cultists. Instead, it had more in common with an upper-class gentleman’s club. The Freemasons have their secrets for sure, but none that are particularly scandalous. The reality of the Freemasons is that it’s a medieval self-help group, with a bunch of rituals that you need to memorise. There are times when reality is stranger than fiction, but this is not one of those times.I hope you enjoyed this one, it's rather different to what I usually do. It has more of a subjective and personal flavour to it. It was a blast to make!

  An Artificial Intelligence Made This Painting 16.10.2026 11min

  Let's explore the emerging world of artificial intellengence (A.I) and creativity and what it means about humanity. From paintings, to music, and finally poetry, machines epic with deep learning technology have been able to produce wonderful, albeit in some cases a bit unpolished, works of art. Uploaded 02-10-20Perhaps though, it's too early to say that these A.Is are creating original works themselves, credit is owned to the genius developers behind them. Developers such as the Paris collective 'Obvious', Tom White, Mario Klingemann, Sougwen Chung and Refik Anadol. As well as musical endeavours including the robotic composer AIVA.13.5k subscribers.

  The Rapture (But Biblically Accurate) 16.10.2026 14min

  Go to https://ground.news/hochelaga for a better way to stay informed. Subscribe for 40% off unlimited access to world-wide coverage through my link. Uploaded 04-10-25------------In this video, I want to explore the origins of the Rapture and see what the Bible really has to say about it… Of all the prophecies in Christianity, few generate more speculation than the Rapture: the idea shortly before the end of the world, Jesus will return to rescue his followers — leaving the rest of humanity behind… to suffer the horrors of the Christian apocalypse. It’s an idea that has fuelled numerous predictions, like recently on TikTok. But the fact that you’re watching this means it hasn’t happened yet… or maybe it has, and you’ve been left behind, wondering where it all went wrong.Whatever the case, that’s why I’m here. What is the Rapture? And where does this belief actually come from? You may be surprised to learn the term Rapture is never actually mentioned in the Bible. In fact, aside from a few debated passages, the idea of the Rapture comes much later, from a wave of Christian movements in 19th-century America.I hope you enjoy this, and thank you for 945K subscribers!H.------------CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction00:52 What is the Rapture?02:52 Ground News04:11 The Origins of the Rapture05:40 The Rapture in the Bible?07:41 American Evangelism and The Rapture09:52 Failed Rapture Predictions11:45 Outro ------------SOURCES and FURTHER READINGThe Rapture Reconsidered: A Critical Examination of Darby and Scofield's Influence on Christian Eschatology by Douglas C.

  Cardenio: The Lost Play of Shakespeare 16.10.2026 15min

  The History of Cardenio is believed to be a lost play of William Shakespeare, but there lacks concrete evidence that it actually existed. Well, except for an adaptation of it known as Double Falsehood. Nowadays, it is seen to hold parts of an original script thought to have been lost to history.Uploaded 24-12-20It's not the only Lost Play of Shakespeare out there. Some believe that there's a play out there known as 'Love's Labour's Won'. But, to my mind, the story of Cardenio and Double Falsehood makes for most complete video.I hope you enjoy this.

  Aleister Crowley: The Man Who Spoke To Demons 16.10.2026 16min

  This is the story of Aleister Crowley (AKA. The Beast 666, Brother Perabduro, or Ankh-f-n-khonsu). He was an occultist, a student of the dark arts and supernatural phenomena, founder of the religion Thelema, and publisher of books on magic and the paranormal. Quite the character.Uploaded 12-11-21Crowley's followers regarded him as a visionary thinker, and a champion of free expression in a close-minded society. His enemies branded him as insane and egotistic, capable of great cruelty to those around him. So, the devil incarnate, or a troubled visionary that was simply misunderstood? It’s all a matter of perspective.I hope you enjoy this one.

  The Origins of the Seven Deadly Sins 16.10.2026 11min

  Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy and Pride. Together they make up the Seven Deadly Sins. But where do they come from, what are there origins?Uploaded 03-01-21In this video, we'll explore the origin and history of the Seven Deadly Sins ( sometimes also known as the Seven Cardinal Sins or Vices), as well as the concept of sin at large. You may be surprise to learn that they do not come from the Bible - well, not as a strict list as we now have it. They may have come from an Egyptian monk, known as Evagrius of Pontus and taken up by Pope Gregory I. But they certainly gained traction after Dante's Divine Comedy, notably Inferno and Purgatorio.I really hope you enjoy watching this video. with another algorithm spike, things have been really stirring on the channel lately, so welcome all new subscribers.

  The Dark Side of Nursery Rhymes 16.10.2026 14min

  Lurking beneath the seemingly playful and innocent lyrics of nursery rhymes lie dark and disturbing origins. Rhymes that are believed to be about the Plague (Ring-a-Roses), slavery (Baa-Baa Black Sheep), and in one instance, burying people alive (London Bridge).Uploaded 19-02-21But do these unsettling backstories actually have any historical truth to them? Or are they simply urban legends meant to frighten and entertain?

  The Oldest (Known) Song of All Time 16.10.2026 6min

  The Hurrian Hymn is History's first Song. Well, the oldest known song. If we're really splitting hairs: the earliest written song that can be reconstructed. We're not even sure what the song even sounds like, but each attempt to decode has its own value. All we are sure about is that the Hurrian Hymn is really, really ancient and nothing is as clear as it seems.Uploaded 14-08-20*Note that the Hymn was not written in 1600BCE (my mistake), but probably around 1400BCE. Plus, the image I use of the goddess Nikkal is actually the goddess Asherah. There were no pictures of Nikkal, she's a bit too obscure it seems.Okay, my errors out the way, I hope you enjoy this video.

  Did Jesus Look Like This? 16.10.2026 17min

  https://youtu.be/l-EiK0XRb64Uploaded 06-05-25The appearance of Jesus Christ has been one of history’s most debated mysteries. For over 2,000 years, Christian art has depicted Jesus in countless ways — but do those familiar images of long blond hair, blue eyes, and tall features actually match what a first-century Jewish man from the Middle East would have looked like?In this video, I investigate what Jesus may have looked like, based on historical speculation, archaeology, and biblical scholarship. First, I trace how Jesus’s image evolved through centuries of Christian art — from a young philosopher to the iconic bearded figure we recognize today. Then, I explore the historical and scientific data to reconstruct a new portrait of Jesus’s appearance.My most recent videos have reached a new audience, so welcome aboard for the ride!

  Survival Guide to the Biblical Apocalypse 16.10.2026 27min

  The Book of Revelation is undoubtably the strangest book in the whole Bible. An Apocalyptic vision containing earthquakes, plagues, and a few of multi-eyed 'Bible Accurate Angels' for good measure. The Biblical Apocalypse may be something you've heard of, but may not know what is supposed to take place. For example, where does the number 666 come from? and what is Armageddon?Uploaded 10-07-21If you're looking to learn more about the biblical apocalypse, then you're in the right place. I have crafted together this handy introductory video taking a secular-minded overview of the Book of Revelation. Now, although I have entitled this video as a survival guide, actual survival tips may be lacking. That said, knowing what to expect may help in an actual apocalypse. Or not...After a bit of a pause in my upload schedule to finish of university work, I'm glad to say that I've graduated! Thank you all for your patience, more videos on the way. It's been a while and I have plenty of videos that I want to make. Welcome both current and new subscribers, now numbering at 290k! H.-------------Sources and Further Reading:Aune, David E.

  The Little Book of Cosmic Horrors 16.10.2026 16min

  The Augsburg Book of Miracles (aka. The Little Book of Cosmic Horrors) is a classic example of strange Christian art. It's full of visions of the Apocalypse, and God's disturbing signs throughout history. It even includes the Old Testament's weirdest scene, the vision of Ezekiel, depicting a "living creature" and an Ophanim (aka. Bible Accurate Angels).Uploaded 19-05-22In this video, let's explore this bizarre text and figure out the meaning behind its unique contents. There are some phenomena that we can explain: from doomsday comets to sun dogs. Although many have no rational explanation. The fact that little is known about the book's origin, only adds to the mystery...Its scenes of calamity and chaos, and eerie hybrid creatures that defy logic, remind me of HP Lovecraft, whose gothic stories of dark magic and profane deities explore the fragile limits of human knowledge. He pioneered the genre of Cosmic Horror, where the fear of "otherness" is central.I hope you enjoy this one, it was great fun to make.

  What is Inuit Mythology? | Obscure Mythologies 16.10.2026 11min

  There is no other climate quite as inhospitable as the Arctic. Yet the Inuit people of Northern Canada, Alaska, Greenland and parts of Siberia have made it their home. No other people on earth have been so profoundly shaped by their climate as the Inuit, and their mythology reflects this.Uploaded 27-08-21In this video, we'll explore the mythology and folklore of the Arctic. From the idea of the 'Inua' that lives in every human and animal, to the myth of Sedna - the Mother of the Sea. Oh, and who could forget about the hard-to-pronounce-well mythical beasts like the qallupilluit, naujakuksualuk and the adlet.I hope that you enjoy this video.

  The Cheerful Skeleton Paradox 16.10.2026 13min

  Check out my Patreon! patreon.com/hochelagaUploaded 07-08-25“Be Cheerful, Enjoy Your Life” — that’s the phrase written above a smiling skeleton in the famous Hatay mosaic. But is that really what it says? Spoiler: probably not.This piece of ancient Roman art is part of a long tradition of memento mori — Latin for “remember that you will die.” Found on everything from Roman mosaics to silver cups, these images weren’t just morbid. They were reminders to embrace life, because you never know what fate has in store.Thank you for 929K subscribers!H.------------CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction00:57 The Mosaic Decoded04:32 Memento Mori07:25 Danse Macabre09:25 Final Thoughts10:23 Outro------------SOURCES and FURTHER READINGThe Sundial and Convivium Scene on the Mosaic from the Rescue Excavation in a Late Antique House of Antioch.

  Countries Mentioned in the Bible 16.10.2026 20min

  Ever wondered which countries are actually referenced in the Bible? In this video, I'll explore just that, and create a neat new "Bible Accurate" map in the process!Uploaded 02-02-23These biblical lands stretch over a massive geographical area. From the rich African Kingdoms of Kush to the exotic maritime ports of ancient Ophir, the biblical writers knew of regions that lay on the periphery of the known world. When used as a historical document, the Bible is a snapshot in time into the surprising world of early trade. Finding real-world locations in the Bible reveals how connected the ancient world was. Is your country there? If not, should your country be on there? I’d be curious to hear whether the eastern land of Sinim mentioned in Isaiah 49:12, could be a reference to China.A few notes about the map. When the Bible was written, "countries" as we know them today didn’t even exist. Plus, there’s no one version of it that all Christians can agree on (although that would be nice). I am using the NRSV. What's more, I have taken Scythia to mean Bulgaria and Romania (as in Scythia Minor). I ought to have included Ukraine into this mix too but hey, Scythia has always been notoriously difficult to define! Also, Arabic not Aramaic.I hope you enjoyed this video, I enjoyed making it. I have an exciting personal milestone this end – I'll be moving into full-time employment! Don't worry, I won't disappear entirely but I will, unfortunately, be uploading less frequently.
