- Why watch it?
What question does this video answer, and what does Scripture actually say?
In this first episode of You Asked!, we examine Acts 2 and the gift of speaking in tongues.
We ask whether the apostles spoke known human languages or a mysterious spiritual language, and we compare Acts 2 with 1 Corinthians 14.
We show why context matters, why the Greek word glossa alone does not settle the question, and why Acts 2 is clear: the disciples spoke in real languages understood by the worshippers gathered at Pentecost. We also explain how 1 Corinthians 14:2 is often taken out of context, and how Paul was correcting the misuse of a genuine gift—not teaching a separate unknown tongue.
We consider why tongues served a special purpose and would cease, and how God gives special gifts at special times for special purposes. If you want a clear, Scripture-based answer, watch and test it for yourself.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation="none"]2 Chronicles 24 tells us that Joash was 7 years old when he begins to reign and that he rules for 40 years. Jehoiadah chose two wives for Joash and the king then produces sons and daughters. Joash decides to repair the temple and urges the unresponsive Levites to collect funds in the cities of Judah. The Levites had been impoverished by the ravages of Athaliah. A chest is made and the redemption tax of the Law of Moses is reinstated. The tax was collected in a specially made and dedicated chest. When the chest was full it was emptied and craftsmen who were employed to repair the temple and refurnish its utensils were paid from this box. No account was required of the tradesmen who dealt faithfully. At 130 years of age the faithful Jehoiadah dies and is buried and honoured in Jerusalem. Tragically, after the high priest's death the princes abandon their God and again turn to serve idols. Jehoiadah's son Zechariah condemns this evil and was stoned in the Temple court by Joash's command (this may be the incident referred to by our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 23 verses 34-36). At the end of the year the Syrian army comes against Judah and at that time Joash's servants slay him as recompense for the evil done to Zechariah. The people of Judah replaced Joash with Amaziah Joash's son. Daniel 5 occurs in BC537 - the night Babylon fell to the Medo-Persians, Babylon is ruled by Belshazzar the son of Nabonidus who is on an expedition and is absent from his city. Babylon is suffering under the dissolute rule of Belshazzar. The Babylonians believed their city to be impregnable. However, the mode of its capture and the name of the victorious general were all told in the prophecy of Isaiah 44 verses 26-45:2 - read aloud, pause and ponder. Belshazzar, Babylon's deputy ruler in the absence of his father Nabonidus seeks to desecrate the vessels that had been taken from Yahweh's temple in Jerusalem. Whilst in the process of a drunken feast honouring the Chaldean gods a mysterious hand comes and writes upon the wall. The hand covers the writing. Belshazzar becomes incontinent due to fear. When the king's wise men cannot read the writing the queen mother asks for Daniel, who was known as Belteshazzar. Daniel castigates king Belshazzar and spells out the lessons that the Almighty had taught to Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar's grandfather. The hand is removed and Daniel reads the Aramaic text and interprets the writing: "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin" ESV Read the meaning of those words in verses 26-28. The Aramaic gematria (assigning numerical values to letters and words) of the expression above is 2,520. Interestingly this is the time period which had been prophesied to Nebuchadnezzar for the kingdom of men in Daniel 4:16, 23-25. Daniel is promoted as promised by Belshazzar and king Belshazzar slain by the Persians. The Babylonian Empire was overthrown by Cyrus in the year BC 537 as Isaiah the prophet had prophesied in chapter 45 verses 1-6. In Acts 3 we have the healing of the crippled man, who was lame from birth and more than 40 years old (4:22). This healing has many parallels with the testy of the crippled man at the pool of Bethesda in John 5. The crippled man represents Israel and their inability to walk before their God. Peter commands the lame man to fix his gaze on them, which he does expecting alms. The crippled man receives far greater -he receives healing and discipleship. And walking, and leaping, and praising God he enters the templewith Peter and John. Remarkable words of witness follow with the testimony of Peter that there is noother name given under heaven by which salvation can come than our Lord Jesus Christ. Buddhism, Hinduism and all other isms cannot save. Our Lord was the stone rejected by men, but chosen and precious to God (Psalm 118:22). Peter outlines in verses 19-26 what they must do. The rulers sendofficers in chapter 4 to arrest Peter and John. Note that the number of disciples had now reached 5,000. They were examined by the Counsel and commanded to refrain from preaching Christ Jesus. TheApostles' response is that: "We cannot cease from doing what the Almighty has commanded us". Peter and John are threatened and released. Upon joining their fellow believers, the two Apostles together withtheir assembled brothers praise the LORD and in prayer speak of what had just happened as being a fulfilment of Psalm 2. Their Sovereign's response to their prayer is a shaking of the house they were in. God is further demonstrating His power in support of their testimony. This was given as yet another
endorsement by their God of His guarantee to support his ecclesia's faithful testimony. The spirit of unity and community is spoken of in verses 32-37. Oh, for such a spirit among believers today!

A @Christadelphians Video: Provable Bible Truth
- Why watch it?
What question does this video answer?
Answer: We show from Daniel 10 that when God seems silent, He is not inactive. The question: Why did Daniel mourn after the 70 years, and what is heaven doing while we wait? The answer: A great angelic conflict delayed Persia’s return. Daniel’s 21 days of prayer triggered Gabriel and Michael’s mission, and God stirred Cyrus to decree Israel’s return. Silence is not inactivity. Prayer moves heaven.

- Why watch it?
What question does this video answer?
As Christadelphians, we answer both by slowing down with Scripture.
This video shows why careful Bible reading matters, and it answers common questions:
Is money the root of all evil?
Did Adam and Eve eat an apple?
How many animals were on the ark?
Why did Micah’s priestly choice go wrong?
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--zhuwSmKMw[/embedyt]
From the transcript, we see that 1 Timothy 6:10 says the love of money—not money itself—is the root of all evil, leading to covetousness, traps and foolish, hurtful lusts. Genesis 3 never names the fruit; it speaks of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 7 distinguishes seven pairs of clean animals from one pair of unclean animals.
Judges 17–18 shows Micah choosing a Levite as priest, but Numbers 18 required priests to be descendants of Aaron; the Levite was Jonathan, Moses’ grandson. Deuteronomy warns us not to add to or take away from God’s commands. So we encourage you to read slowly and carefully—you may discover something you never realised before.
