Aena welcome back to Lady Babylon this is Al and youu tonight and I'm going to give you a plenty of time with your instructor tonight I'm going to uh bring him on in a minute but what I want to do is warm up and I want to say thank you for your continued attention to ancient
Greek it's very important very important um eye opening Enlightenment stuff and tonight we're going to do that but in order to get there we've got to start somewhere that you're not going to want to be where are we going we're going to the Back Alley we're going to that place where people get
Seduced I want you satanic congregation to be impervious to the seduction of the fairy tale I want you to be so rooted and reason people have to give you a coat like a scientist and call you Melvin listen to me very carefully tonight we're going to look at an example of how you can be taken into the back alley um it's very easy and uh let's all stay together come on let's don't get anybody get lost out there this is a scary scary place all right
I'm gonna hit you with the clip first and I want you to look at this clip and I want you as classical philologists to realize your place is a place of examining evidence you are investigators you examine evidence none of us care about arguments arguments are sold and bought evidence is what will take us to the history so I want you to be listening for that go ahead what did the Greeks want to do they want to destroy Judaism so that's why I say that when
You think of Greek don't think of think think of it as German the reason why you would bristle the idea that a holy book would be written in German I don't need to tell you what happened 85 years ago so Greek wasn't just another language it was the enemy language it was the language represent everything that was vile everything that was ungodly moreover bear in mind people may say well the writers of the New Testament they just were Greek speakers Christians insist that the authors of the gospels and the letters the Epistles
Found in the Christian Canon were divinely inspired they're not just the Recollections of evangelists no they were divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit by the Holy Ghost really that means that means god inspired these people to write in Greek did the Holy Spirit forget Hebrew and Aramaic and this a massive problem for the church that's why there are books out that when God began to speak Greek like they have to explain this away it's a very big problem did the Holy Spirit
Speak Hebrew and Aramaic this is the difficulty do you hear how we're not looking at evidence right we're scientists and we need to stand back we need in order to understand history we have to look at all the data that we've been given that's the that's history and you and I are philologists are dat is all that Greek now the impression this is the this is the very
Um this is the stealth of the whole um creation of the fairy tale people are speaking Hebrew and Aramaic
Fantastic fantastic I want you to keep that in mind because I'm going to show you something um we know that by this time there was no he spoken Hebrew nope and I'll show you that in a second so um the Greek that is in Antiquity that is the language of literature the Romans You' be proud of this the Romans used to say um uh the Greeks yeah although they
Were conquered by us they conquered us with that gorgeous gorgeous hot language it's right it's right it's right um so let's look for the data like in Hebrew ancient Hebrew there are only 8,000 unique words in ancient Greek somewhere around 1.5 million why the difference right hit um chewy hit us another star system please yes it's written in a language that's not just not Jewish not Hebrew not Aramaic it's written in the enemy language it's written in the ungodly language the language of helenismo and most importantly mostos
Germain for us because you're a child of Hashem you want to do the right thing like why is there these Greek ideas the idea of a a demiurge that Satan is a lord of this world in 2 Corinthians 4:4 it's it's the ideas that are conveyed in Christianity that are Greek rather than Hebrew thank you so much for your thoughtful question if you enjoy this program please like And
Subscribe okay did you get the pitch there did did you get the pitch there anybody who wants to purchase or merchandise feel free now the problem is the things that we're not seeing is the very obvious I want you to be on alert I want you to be on alert whenever someone starts talking in generalities generalities don't stand up to even a decade of antiquity you cannot say these people do that at the same time as those people do that this is such a mixture of Mediterranean and cultures from Asia
Minor um long long long histories languages Galore right it's we're flooded with data so we don't need to be making generalities be careful when somebody says Bible times realize oh in Bible times something happen that is scientifically and Ling linguistically
Absurd it's absurd at its best at its worst it's intentionally deceptive so but it's something that monism does Scholars hate this and that's why classes don't treat the Bible because they know these are the guardians of the fairy tale of the fairy tale are you ready for this I just want to hit you with a piece of um okay get ready to reset yourself and you're thinking are you ready let's just look at the facts we're talking about Hebrew in the first century let's see let's see what we've
Got here give me the first facts watch this people you can find this on you can find this on any old encyclopedia right what is Hebrew it's closely related to Phoenician and moabit we don't have any more that one with with which it is often placed by scholar in a Canaanite subgroup spoken in ancient times in Palestine now wait a minute did you hear it star to creep in that was the creeper in ancient times what are you talking about there's 3,000 years of time all over the the Western World what
Are you talking about ancient times he um what happened um spoken in ancient times in Palestine Hebrew was supplanted uhoh what are they recognizing here they're recognizing that Hebrew died Hebrew was a small tribal language that died and by the time it got to the level of being able to communicate itself Greek came along and went
Squash just like she did many many many other languages many other languages the real irony is that the person that was just speaking to you about Hebrew and about evil Greek their ancestors were Greek
Speakers that's the irony of the history it died out Watch What Happens people Hebrew was supplanted by and they propose Aramaic possibly funny aren't they they're funny was there any Aramaic no what's going on we're trying to explain the facts that we've got and the monest have to stick to a narrative they have to if the if the Old Testament is not Hebrew everyone's in big trouble and God has a birthday God has a birthday hit it Chey Yahoo Yahoo when's your birthday
Everybody happy birthday to Yahoo happy birthday to Yahoo happy birthday Elohim hashm
Jeh it was in the thir Century thank you Ault examiner and chewy for bringing us that g Watch What Happens people um this is in the 3 Century notice that they say it's in the 3 Century right that's when we know it's it's gone it was revived look what they say the language was lurgical how many times have I told you that how many times have I told you that we are talking about a language that was dead do you know who's talking about that language that was dead people
Talking in Greek now granted at this time at this time um the world is being swamped swamped by the language but something is happening to Mother Greek too yeah she is aging she's aging and that should not be happening we have things creeping into the language and ultimately we get this thing called coinet it's a coin a from the attic dialect and it is corrupted it's corrupted it's being
Dumbed down it's commonality is having to pay for absorbing people who have not worked with Greek who were not born with Greek yeah all sorts of cultures all all over the Mediterranean they're having to absorb this you see when you learn history you learn dates and you learn people's names and that garbage is useless it takes away from the focus of the nature that the Greeks were so focused on the nature of language the nature of language okay give me the next one the uh give me the next one yeah we're talking about
Natural beauty here watch this people here's another little ENT look at this classical Hebrew we've got the Hebrew language is divided into four major periods now watch this pay attention biblical or classical Hebrew what is wrong with the commas this person does not understand commas until about the 3 Century BC now they're telling you Biblical Hebrew is that which goes up to the 3 Century BC but wait a minute how many biblical texts do we have from this period do we have the letters of Isaiah
No do we have the Genesis of Moses no do we have anything no you mean we have nothing of biblically zero do you know why this article says that Biblical Hebrew Hebrew exists without having any any documents written in that language imagine if I were to say you know what in my backyard some people spoke a language and it was called blah and blah was so expressive um show us some
Blah uh I got no blah fill in the blank people this is not science right you cannot say the period when this language was spoken if there are no remains of the language zero
Zip NADA now watch what watch what they say here in that line um until about the third Century in which most of the Hebrew Bible is written and really it's written in this period G give me some of it oh it's you don't have any of it that right there that you just saw that you just read we just read together that is an illusion that's an illusion we are song and dancers do you know what we are we are singers and dancers and we are
Singing and dancing here um let's keep going um now what comes after it after it comes mishnaic or rinic Hebrew and you say aha there's the language I've got the language right there this man alond is a fool look they're speaking Hebrew written about 200 CE
What what this form of Hebrew look what's in the parenthesis right when somebody takes you into the back alley and they start saying funny things look for what's in the parentheses what's in the parenthesis here somebody read it this form of Hebrew was never used among the people as a spoken language what are these people speaking
Greek why did Jesus what did Jesus speak Greek nobody spoke Hebrew it had been dead for years it did not have the stamina God's tongue took a dive yes Watch What Happens here people so from about the sixth to the 13th century an OD doin when many words were being bur uh look what are they doing borrowing now we're going to try to bring it back we got to revive this corpse and what are we going to do naturally we're just going to use the words that we're speaking natively Greek
Spanish Arabic I don't know if these are the languages of the ungodly I don't know but scientific do you hear how that's an argument you don't want to be bathed in arguments you want the evidence the science anybody here this is a freaking Temple to reason the Muse my friend is the result
Of of a process of creation everything around you is that nature isn't that fundamentally kind of mind altering if you can't follow anything but science wow think about that you could almost never you could you could almost never be let astray no no facts won't Lead You astray look at the evidence go to the next one one one more of these and then I'm going to call on the drill instructor um lots of good news from him the Hebrew of the Bible exhibits little dialectical
Variety now this one's important it seems like it's a side note so all of these books that are in the Bible you mean they don't have any dialectical differences period as if the same person wrote them yeah as if one person or one group of people wrote this work all these different books The Books of Moses the prophets the Psalms they're all written by the same people by one group at one time in the third Century they left their F fingerprints all over it and what
Language did they have to use they had to use Greek they had to use Greek because that's all they had you can not write a work if if you're not native if you don't have that language inside and out of you yeah you can't use the idiom it's the idiom the idiom stains you watch I'm going to show you a little idiom here in a second give me the next comment this is fantastic people none of us is going to be deceived here anymore none no back
Alleys we will stay tell me teacher we will stay the the straight and narrow watch this Biblical Hebrew in the in its widest sense Biblical Hebrew refers to the spoken language of ancient Israel flourishing between 1,000 BC that's a nice that's a right cap do we have a document from of course we don't right 1,00 BC to 400 CE it comprises several evolving and overlapping dialects look it's it's almost like they don't have a there's no scientific standards here for their definitions the phases of classical
Hebrew are often named after important literary works really really like the mishnaic Hebrew right a non-spoken language fantastic give me the next one what is going on with this israelian Hebrew is a proposed wait is a proposed as soon as you hear proposed that trench code is coming off yeah the look you can expect it now you're in trouble don't be thinking where's Mom and Dad no you're done for a a proposed Northern dialect of Biblical Hebrew believed well at least they're admitting that this is not a matter of science but a matter of Faith at least they're admitting that
Believed to have existed in all erors of the language in some cases competing with that look at how look at how incred L contorted and you know detailed is their belief right the B seriously is this the best your Scholars can do yes yes one for the scholars one for the scholars all you language Scholars you lazy
People shame on you shame on you for abandoning the art go to the next one shy quickly quickly I want to bring the sergeant and here we go it one more well look at this look at this is Israeli and Hebrew IH is a northern dialect now this one didn't say that they don't have any of this but this fish doesn't exist this is a hypothesized fish have you seen it have you drawn it out do you know where it has it's young what does it do what environment no none of that this is an imaginary fish
This is an imaginary fish blow it up cheery blow it up um proposed well there finally they it proposed as an explanation for the various irregular linguistic features of the Matic text now what are they talking about when you read the Bible you are reading an English translation or a Spanish translation or something you're reading a translation of the Matic text and when is the azaric Hebrew text when is it invented it is invented in 1000 on OD Domin you mean we're not even a thousand
We're a thousand years off the mark yes you meant to land in the Sea of Tranquility you landed on Mercury oh my God my God biblical Scholars what is wrong with you watch what happens it competes with the alternative Oh look The Irregular engl linguistic features so we have the mastic text but it's
Irregular why do you think they have problems you don't hear classus is talking about you know what Homer that guy's IR regular no no no no no no don't play games what's happening with your text people it's falling apart it complete competes with the alternative explanation that such features are arism now look what they did did they so want to include something that sounds legitimate they're going to pull in Aramaic Aramaic is that substitute for reality the reality that we need to understand is this stuff didn't exist in Antiquity do you know what was there
Greek and she was eating everybody up the good news is that after Greek met its decline in into the influences of the first in centuries BC and AD after she started to meet her kin a group of very enthusiastic people you could call them I don't know a satanic congregation they came up they came up with a method they said we're going to re-inject the glory that was Athens do you remember all the evil things that helenismo See do you remember the real evil thing that
Helenismo democracy that comes through a language and that language has the capacity to make you aware yeah do you know the science that the Greek teaches that science can put anybody anybody who's trying to take you into a back alley put it to shame put some to shame Lady Justice is right there with her let's go to the next one watch this people and then I'm I'm just wait I'm gonna call on the drill instruct give me another 10 minutes and I'm gon call on you
Di this is a great sentence lifted from Deuteronomy 7 Deuteronomy 72 KT
Oh now watch this on the second line do you hear That do you see what they're doing now watch he's gonna do it again
De do you hear what's going on it's something helenistic grace particularly love to do they love to take a verb because they're Smarties right they've learned how the language Works they've learned the Mastery of how that causes you to grow in your frin in that place that you perceive causes you to grow and you know they've gotten clever and they'll here's what we're going to do we're going to take a verb the action word and we're going to take a noun the person place or thing and we're going to take those two
Things we're going to make one word the verb and it's going to have the this root and then we're going to take the same route and we're going to have the noun use the noun from that root
Right it's a little bit of repetition it breaks up and makes them remember this is musical right lots of lots of non-musical languages out there lots of them like our stupid anglosaxon right speaking of Anglo-Saxons check
Out old boy who is doing an outstanding service by running around tracking down tracking down the purple in his backyard and um going to some of these places and talking talk he was talking to someone I'll give you a little bit ofe preview I don't think he'd mind um Al Boy going to be going to be looking at more purple that they're still finding oh God oh God it's wonderful people who said the apocalypse who was that person who said this was going to be impossible to you naysayers let's go
Back to that verse let's go back to that verse what does this verse say um it brings up something um that I wanted to show you the style the style of this line the these lines um is Greek it's not only colloquial um it's scient it's
Excuse me it's stylistically Greek does is the Hebrew able to keep this up no of course not because the Hebrew is a translation of this how are they supposed to invent words oh God if you've only got 8,000 you've got to start inventing right it's the way it is we do the same thing in English right our Anglo-Saxon ancestors they the same thing you borrow remember the Hebrew that we're talking about in the Middle Ages that they're trying to revive this dead corpse what are they doing they're
Taking Greek they're taking Spanish they're pulling it all in they're taking German right right and by the way by the way no you know what let's stay above The Fray people let's keep ourselves let's keep ourselves in the dignified Zone I think we'd all like that I think we'd all like that um give me the next one we're going to fly through a couple of these Bo I just wanted you to see yeah here's that AA nmos and I want you to see um we've got
A little bit of creepage in our definition because remember the editors there's a whole bunch of editors to the Oxford um Greek Lexicon and they will group they will do something that you saw that guest or guest speaker today that you saw him doing um that there is a what they do is they say look there are there are monists and then there is the culture in which monists live and the monism creates this barrier where you don't know what your neighbor is doing you don't speak his language you don't
Use his toothpaste you don't do anything like that right um that never exists it's an impossibility it's like living in a bubble nobody lives in a bubble you're stained with everything around you everything around you and so it's creeping in in section A with the word extermination right what is afano in Greek it means to destroy to obliterate to um wipe to take away entirely right show me the verb chewy it's next when you think wait a minute isn't that the same thing as extermination no it's not watch to do
Away with to remove right something that is concealed something that is concealed right to secret away or steal something to obscure do you hear where aano is going right has to do with whether or not you can see it it's a the alpha privative plus F the base that means to appear so it's not
Appearing fantastic give me the next one how does this stuff get translated on the Hebrew side um yeah de go to the this one how does this stuff get translated on the no go down here on the Hebrew side let's just jump to it haram to ban to devote to exterminate yeah what is the concept here do you want to know what is uniquely
Hebrew if you do it's really you know it's fascinating because they left us to septu and then attempted to translate it um it's very interesting that you can pick out you can filter out the cultural influences from the Hebrew this word haram is very specific in context all the time and it means to take a group of people and wipe them out to take a group of people and dedicate them to your god of death
Wait a minute what check this out check this out I know the we don't get the concept in Greek we're trying to creep off anisus toward it but we can't quite get there right because that evil language of helenismo language of helenismo bro lots of different people
There are no races there's only two types of people in the world say the Greeks right which Greeks the Athenians do you know what they said when the language was that it's peaked you know what they said it's not about it's not about races it's about your language there are those of us who know mother Greek and those of us who don't and those who don't speak
Like no music in them what soever you want to be one of those people you want to be one of those Anglo-Saxons you want to be one of those osin you want to be a Roman with your
Latin all right let's go next one down I think it's time for me to call in call in the sergeant um yeah yeah yeah um because what do we do oh I just wanted to see um we've got extremities of age here and we're always talking about about that naked kid with Jesus he was a anise ghost well we've got The Young and the old we've got the extremes who are the people that we kill who are the people that we perform complete and total genocide upon in Antiquity who are
These people that we do this to those who are outside of the monest box right and who do we kill the Young from the youngest to the oldest men and women and and what else
Even their cattle all right their calves those animals they use that come under the Yoke you know what I'm talking about those Works those work animals kill them all what are you going to kill him with you're going to kill him with an edge of the edge of the sword what about the gold
The gold you dedicate to the service of God this concept is not helenistic it is not why because mother Greek Embraces everyone yeah they were giving themselves over people were giving themselves over fantastic amazing um let me call call in I think that's it is we got one more one more chewy and then we're going to bring in the drill sergeant people and I'll he will answer all of your questions and guide you take you exactly where you need to be please listen to him at that time we will look at all uh
We took all the towns completely oh I think this is Jesus speaking no no not the one you're thinking of but the one you call what do you call Jesus Oh Joshua yeah that's right um this the you know men women children nothing give me the next one nothing left let them you know we kill them all right that's the way go um look at the uh this is the concept right this is the nonh helenistic concept when you're taking that that that filter and you're shaking
Out the Rocks you know what I mean all the dust is following to the falling down there on the bottom and all you got left are these bigger rocks on the top this is what you shake out okay now check out the bottom of this this is the concept in Hebrew of genocide look at the bottom comment pull up the bottom pull up the bottom comment again this is ancient um the stuff that we think was at a certain time but we don't have any of it surviving so let's
See what here we go people read this what is this thing thing hostile to theocracy and therefore to be either destroyed or in the case of certain objects I.E or AG silver and gold
Vessels of brass and iron there's no reason to destroy that s set apart to Sacred uses that's what we need to do this is part of a word this is part of a word it's an expression Of Human Action it's an expression Of Human Action the language carries this action and it
Carries it via the speaker beliefs did you see tonight all the beliefs it's we believe it was here we believe it was here it's proposed that it's here it's proposed that it's there we don't have any that survives what do we have that survives we have a [\\h__\\h] ton of Greek uhhuh let's see let's go ahead
And leave that up for a minute but give me um you know what um I'm going to go grab the sergeant and what I want you to do is sing Happy Birthday to Jehovah one more time Yahoo Yahoo when's your birthday everybody happy birthday to Yahoo happy birthday to Yahoo

To show you tonight where you should be and what you should be doing all you have to do is listen to me I know people are writing and saying you know what I got a terrible grade when I was in when I was in high school Latin that's because your Latin teacher sucked yeah that's why your Latin teacher was not a true representative ative of the guild uhuh fantastic if they drove you away they probably drove everyone away yeah yeah I'm here to give you the dope to keep you
Moving you have got to run these obstacle courses what are we doing in unit one we are getting you to start thinking in Greek letters to start thinking in Greek letters that's all we're doing we're showing you what is a verb a noun and an adjective basic words basic words don't
Worry those are all you know we're going to give them to you the ones that you need to know we'll give them to you don't worry what am I going to do tonight I'm GNA take you on that obstacle course I want you to run it with me okay there are those of you who know you can make it through here and there are those of you who are afraid I will make you succeed I will make you succeed so shut up and listen to me Chewy give me the first slide tonight boom we're going to do some words together people I'm G to
Spell this for you this first one let's just spell This Together Alpha Gamma Omron row Alpha oh isn't that nice now what have I got here I'm going to tell you this once you will never make a mistake again this is a noun this is a noun do you know how I knew that so quickly because look at the tail end of the entry it's got an ADA there with rough breathing over it a hey that's a definite article nouns get definite articles what is a definite article it's
Our word theth it's a little bit more sophisticated than ourth and a or an right it's a little more sophisticated you'll get to you'll get to enjoy the definite article but that's how I know it's a noun this is a noun what is an aor
Aor that first word that you see that's the nominative case remember I told you to memorize nominative genitive dative accusative those four cases always in that order nominative genitive dative accusative what is this the first one is the nominative the second one is the genitive
Aoras aoras good notice over the alpha please is a smooth breathing it looks like an apostrophe you're not going to call that an apostrophe you're going to call it a smooth breathing in our new language that will open your brain it's a smooth breathing what is a smooth breathing has no h sound rough breathing the other way open parenthesis that has an H sound accompanying with this this is smooth breathing no Hound s good aora auras hey what is that it's a Marketplace it's a place for you to go
And exchange and to interact oh God and people say it's like a grocery store no it's not you can go see doctors you can do all sorts of stuff you can meet there I'll meet you in the marketplace oh let's get some fruit give me the next one watch this people I want you to spell these words out this is your vocabulary
Look at it and say Alpha Delta Epsilon Lambda F Omron Sigma I'm going to do it again Alpha Delta Epsilon Lambda Fe Omron sigma look
At that Sigma on the end that's the terminal Sigma it's the one that looks like the snake otherwise it's a little it's an Omron with a little tail on the top part of it looking to the east fantastic what's its genitive form ad Del Fu now what's going on look at that those last two vowels are Omron oilon and those two vowels are what you call a diff thong people have said I saw you I saw you writing about what's a diff thong what's a diff thong it's just
Two vows stuck together and it comes together to make a different sound Omron a oilon o what happens when you bring ow together you get ooh ah here a little bit of that diagma little bit of that Dima stuck in that oops W that's the W sound o nice nice and it's definite article is H that looks different from hey yes because hey is feminine H is masculine to is neuter H he to all words
For the that's called the definite article and you will know a nouns gender because of its definite article oh God now are there exceptions that of course there are sometimes H sometimes things are not so obvious but 99.9999% of the time I want you to hold this notion the definite article shows you the gender of the noun you want to see the gender of a n come here now come here now let me see that gender let me see oh this one is neuter how do you tell that you tell it
From the definite article that's what that tale is giving you there pay attention to it give me the next one boom boom anthropos
Anthropo you know this thing has got a masculine definite article on it what is an anthropos it's a person don't say man I know your book translates it that way it's not it's a general person the anthropology is the studying the people
Yes gorgeous one thing I want you to notice what this word is doing it's now there's something going on here that you can't hear there's something going on and I love your frightened frightened little Minds I love them I love them oh God God it's
Like okay let's not go there anthropos look where the accent is it's over Alpha don't be afraid people for th for those of you who are not afraid um something's wrong with you you should be right but for those of you who are afraid everybody everybody don't worry the drill Sergeant's yelling at everyone right just follow my instructions look at the accent on this thing it's over the alpha but what happens on the genitive the accent jumps to the Omega it goes from anthropos to onu and why do we do that because the ending of the word has a diff thong diff
Thongs are long they're long and what happens what do you mean long extra time for you it's extra time and when you put that much time into something it's going to drag that accent toward it it's like gravity this is all musical it's all musical right Greek now there's a lot of classical Scholars out there and you can walk up to one and um you know get their attention slap them you know shake them do hey classical philologist tell me something right tell me something um was ancient Greek
Musical and they will have to say Yes um unfortunately we're not going to be able to Plum the depths of of that musicality this is something you'll develop you'll develop a little bit of appreciation but to the level that the Greeks had it going it's the reason they could say there's two types of people in were those who speak Greek and those who don't right the division of the Jew and the Gentile in the sep is a reflection of this very
Idea you say I thought the ungod ly helenistic Greek I thought it was you know something came later that no no no do you see why you have to fabricate history by assuming the langu there was a language back then it was called ancient Hebrew do you see why you have to fabricate that history if you're a theologian or a monest because the authority is in the language and if you don't have a language you don't have authority yeah yeah it's an uh it's it's
An attempt it's an attempt to adapt good let's go to the next one give me another word chewy give me another word boom watch this bi on biu look read these read these look at that accent biblion I just want you to tr uh attempt the accent Now Beta Yoda beta Lambda Yoda Omron new spells biblion and what is bib Leon you're G to say book no it's a scroll that's okay that's okay if you want to translate this book I'll give you that one notice that this one is neuter neuter look at the T on the end of it that means it's neuter
Neuter okay look none of this are you learning because you're a smarty this is just physics this is elements that we're dealing with that's it it's just physics there's no um reasoning that you're going to be um needing put away your calculators people are shocked when I say that but when they come into Greek I tell them you're going to have a problem because your brain thinks it's intelligent right you know so does mine I suffer from the same from the same Humanity right the Greek will teach you
That you are not was that somebody at the at the Port hang on give me a second give me a second is it I told you to clamp down those doors right they're gonna Stormtroopers are going to keep doing that um chewy we got to watch that um give me the next one Boom

Prepositioned yeah it's going to come before a noun and it's going to tell you I can either go into this noun I can come out of this noun or I can be in this noun Ace into e or X Out of and in in prepositions are just positional

Seeing this thing used oh God you're going to start getting excited and things are going to happen you're gonna have certain feelings certain chemistry going to be going on and it makes me want to say stop and watch what's happening to yourself the Greeks um during the first century um to the about second anod Domin um first BC they're very fond of this concept think about this think about this intellectually the contrast
Between logos and eron what is logos logos is Reckoning what is Aron doing what is the difference between Reckoning and doing is there some sort of magic physics going on between Reckoning or reasoning and making
Acting is there a difference between action and being linguistically the garans are quick to point out that this is just the difference between a verb and a noun yeah yeah yeah what does the verb do it can do two things right it can be or it can do can be or it can do eron logos eron logos what is wrapped up
In the verb eron and logos what is your noun your noun is just those things that are affected by the Aron or the logos okay trust me by the time you're done when somebody says in the beginning was the word your mind will go back to the native of the time that they wrote it this is the power of the words that they have for you you're sitting there do you want this capacity do you want this capacity to do this then do exactly exactly what I say hit me hit me with the next one um look what I wait a

Money greed your greed says that winged gorgeous devil your greed stains your soul with the stench of Ruin do you know where now remember this is a great concept and I want you to be absorbing these great Concepts Aeros is a purifier do you know what you cannot do you cannot offer a lover cash and buy their love love you
Can't do it the one who is in love will cross oceans will suffer disease will do everything in the world for that love that's Aros you can't buy Aeros right you can't buy Aeros do you know what is not classical yeah you know what is not classical greed it's constantly constantly when Jesus came along and he said it was the root of all evil he said the love that that desire for profit in Greek the word is the desire for profit it's not you it's translated the love of money it's
Not it's the drive for profit for making profit making over what you need to survive is called
Greed and what happens The Muse doesn't like greed hates greed evaporates in the presence of greed it's a part of The Pact with the devil people we need this esoteric knowledge and in order to acquire it you got to purge your greed Purge your greed boom that is one of the evil ideas of Hellenism that is one of the ideas it's not the idea of annihilation and extermination it is the idea that greed is a destroyer of democracy isn't that gorgeous you want to rule yourselves get rid of your
Greed love it love it so much yeah throw your Mone like that throw your money in there Ryan see what I mean Jesus Oh Soul sucker
Now come on come on in all fairness soul sucking has gotten a black eyy yeah definitely definitely it's definitely gotten a black eye um Carl Marx spoke a no stop it purple stop it I'm glad you brought up this point Karl Marx did not speak ancient Greek Carl Mark was a classicist he studied and translated
Yeah that's what we have to do we're not here to speak ancient Greek because when you say he spoke ancient Greek what you're doing is you're making ancient Greek a modern Greek you are making it a language that is a spoken language you're making it an active process and that is not how you learn a language that is no longer an active language you have to draw that distinction you don't go in learning to speak it you go in learning to translate it your mind crawls into bed with these
Gorgeous Concepts now purple I know where you were going Carl marks what's that way I don't know that what is that does anybody know what that means does I don't know what that means yeah I'm French
I'm very good that's okay look at this by the way uh good good the French oh God oh God thank you for joining us your unique courage your old Celtic courage yeah love it and by the way total devotees of AOS total Kudos kudos
To all the French Kudos you know what I was in I was just south of Dijon and French purple will be able to tell you oh God he's in that gorgeous country of the vine right who do you think bakus passed on all of his knowledge to it's buried in the French Countryside in those Vines those California Vines have
Nothing on those French Vines I stood with a Frenchman his wine he was he was dressed in his got his big boots on um he's dressed with overalls he's working he's doing his his Vineyard in and he says Hey try this try this lovely and it was like metallic mushroom dirt it felt
Like I was being energized by some kind of M maternal maternal sauce of the cosmos oh God no don't underestimate the classical wisdom that lies buried in French cult culture it's gorgeous absolutely
Gorgeous makes me envious thank you purple good comment go to the go to the next one I want to keep us on task here tonight watch people here's a couple of sentences now we've learned nouns and I threw up a couple of verbs there to you now we're just going to put it together and I want to show you how to do this the first word ha there's your definite article the' hos that's our word Homer H homos Homer Homer what jump all the way to the end
There's the verb P Homer teaches ton anthrop the man Homer teaches the person look at me I did it oh you're not supposed to do that you love it you love it Homer teaches the person watch now how do I know this isn't the person teaches Homer because Homer is in the nominative case with that ending o it's a nominative case he's got to be the subject ton anthron is in the accusative case how did I know that if I knew my definite articles it would be obvious
We've got to know our definite articles then right that's just the next thing we got to do um so Homer teaches the man
What about the one underneath that now watch what happens to Homer hu look it switched its ending from a nominative to a genitive and what is the hall going with it the hall is a nominative case as well so it can't be accompanying the hu because that's genitive would have to be two so what is the hall accompanying it's accompanying
Adelos the brother hu of Homer do you remember I want you to translate genitives of somebody it's possession of somebody so the subject is adelos brother H is in the genitive case of Homer the brother of Homer what does the brother of Homer do by their way he educates who's he educate ton anthron nice accusative case there you see the accusative ton anthrop Pawn with that on ending on the end of it good it's an accusative case it's the object of the verb all right look that's all you need
To be knowing now what am I doing to you that you don't realize it I'm cramming I'm super or hyper exposing you to the Greek you're you're being forced to follow and I know there's 80% of you out there are who started from Ground Zero are now saying oh I'm I'm just beginning I can kind of all the words I kind of follow the letters here all put together right we're running and you're running with me that's all we're doing give me the next one another two sentences here
Look at this hopos now wait a minute where is the nominative where's the nominative case it's h anthropos you mean the subject is at the end of the sentence yes don't let your English mind try to work its itself out because we don't put subjects at the end we do subject verb direct object that's how we do English right Greek Greek doesn't care about word order word order is for barbarians word order is for barbarians you know what the Greeks can do they can take 45 words and throw them up in the air you tell me what that means well there's no order to yeah
There doesn't need to be an order the ending of the words will tell you what they're doing in the sentence so the subject here is at the end of the sentence H anthropos the the person the person does what P teaches
Ton what is homeon it's an accusative so it's the thing it's the thing person or place that's being taught it's being acted upon by the verb the person teaches Homer what does the bottom line say homos anthropus
By way where's your subject homos it's got that o nominative ending where's your direct object tus anop that's what we're going to be acting on is the men notice they're in the plural now plural we've got singular and plural nouns dog or dogs singular and plural and so how would you translate that sentence Homer teaches the people Homer teaches the people okay now you can go back over these examples and if you do just this last 10 minutes of what we've been working on if you do what I want you to do is I want your eyes to track the text
I want your eyes to be able to read it tone Hemet on even if you don't understand it because really what's going on with you you're just learning the alphabet you're just at that stage where you're learning Alpha Beta Gamma Delta that's it right and that's what we're trying to do we're trying to reset your mind with the Greek letters look at how beautiful these things are if I didn't tell you before these are superior to English the English alphabet the Latin alphabet um that's because I was der elected my duty
Look at the musicality of this language look at that P what does that P make you want to do it on the front of P makes me I don't know does something inside of me with the curves look at the curves on that look at how the top just kind of coalesces right it kind of just becomes part of the two it's like a bridge P it's gorgeous I kind of like the Omega too the Omega look at the Omega on anthropus excuse me on anthropos on the end of the first line look at that Omega do you see how curvaceous that
Omega is that's musical baby that's musical right there oh God yeah love it okay let's stop let's stop with that um give me another one um look now we're going to get a little more complicated with this first sentence I just want to illustrate one thing look at that third word bio finally we get a dative case we've had nominative as a subject genitive as possession or of I want you to translate it of something of Homer then we've had the accusative that's the fourth one and it's always a direct object the the one we're leaving
Out is the dative the dative and what do you do with the dative it's the indirect object well what does that mean mayard um let me tell you what it means you're going to translate it as to for or with you're going to try it every time you know what this sentence says with two for or with Homer teaches his brother
The art with books you hear that with books what is the dative it's a dative of instrument or means it's a dative of something that gives you the capacity to do something do you need to remember that when you're translating yeah you do but what do you really need to know what's the cheat just translate those datives as two for or with when you're starting out like this two four with a dative is something beautiful dative is something beautiful and it's got this Yoda in it
Homer teaches the his brother the skill by means of books with books good that's a double accusative on the end ton adelon and t double accusative now we sound like nerds right now we sound like nerds what do you need to take home nominative subject genitive possession
Dative to for or with accusative direct object of the ver verb it's what the verb's acting on gorgeous give me the next one I'm just going to fly because I'm taking it way too much of these professionals time and I respect you guys too much this chart you must memorize from unit one you must memorize these endings notice on the left denominative genitive dative and accusative right I want you to memorize people are always telling me um I can't get all these things right in my head I
Can't get all the these forms right in my head then stop if it's not working then stop something's wrong abandon that approach right um don't try to get these things straight build the muscle a ace a a i on Ice o what are
Those plurals I own ice o what are those plurals in the feminine first declen in Greek I own ice o I have that so programmed in my head and reinforced from the last 35 years that I will wake up still chanting paradigms I own ice o do you know why people make fun of those Brits for their schooling their their young boys and girls in their classes chanting off the the Greek endings you know what they were doing they recognized they were building Machines of classical
Civilization so what you're doing you're doing it with a language you're doing it with a language isn't that fantastic I am going to capacitate you do you know what my job is is to capacitate you I'm gonna take your brain and I'm going to capacitate it in and out get that Shar memorized piece people next one trust me trust me these things will help sit on the toilet if you have to I own ice us right well let's go to the second e clenon here's a chart you
Got to memorize for the second e clenon ignore that vocative at the bottom right of that first com ignore that I just want you to see the nominative genitive dative and accusative logos logu right what are the endings o oi on what are they in the plural oi on o o on o what were they Fe in the feminine I on I us what are they the mascul oi on o oi on o make it native make it native how do you do that you listen to Cicero come
Here Cicero pull up your Toga what did ciso tell us that nobody ever listens to right what did you say there in your Latin cisero um repetition is the mother of learning repetition repetition
Repetition these are reps what do you think when you go to the gym what do you think do you stand there and you're like oh I'm not I can't do this I can't look it's heavy I can't lift it up well guess what you're going to start rep and eventually that thing's not going to be heavy you are going to be using your muscle it's the same thing with the Greek these are the Reps that you have to do right now if I've got 30 students
In front of me in seminary and I'm forcing them to do reps and yes there is something sadistic about it there is but um there's a point where the student reaches an internalizing of these um endings that it it's so satisfactory so satisfactory let's finish up last one what do we have here finally your definite article people H and to look at look at the masculine definite articles ha to toy ton don't those look like the endings that we're just seeing Oh they do what look at the plurals Hoy tone to to all right they look a lot like the
Declensional endings so it's not too far of a jump look at the feminine hey taste Tayan High tone T TOS High tone T toas High tone T TOS right what about the neuter notice that the new neuter nominative and accusative are the same you mean I don't know in a sentence whether the neuter is the subject or the object no you have to figure it out you have to figure it out now how are you don't not with your brain don't worry but just by the way all of those words
That have been thrown up into the air just by the way way it Glides around you'll see it because what you have to learn with Greek that you don't have to learn with English is universal interaction I'm going to tell you that now and it's something that I teach to all of my students through the Greek without them even knowing it you're gonna have to throw up a bunch of Concepts into the air and you're GNA have to be able to see their connections GRE mother GRE is all about teaching you
Go ahead and take it down should we um for those of you who are frustrated for those of you who are in a position of being overwhelmed um guess what we all are we all are and if you're not you're not an ancient Greek um what we're doing is we're coming from a step down to a much more demand ing art the Greek language everybody thinks languages are created equal ancient Greek is not
English oh it's not Chinese either Chinese has about 100 125,000 unique words again that's tiny compared to the Greek now you're gonna have to stand up and expand you're going to have to meet the mark and how are you going to do that you're going to remember Mize those last three charts that I gave you you're going to do exercises what I want you to do for next week is I want you to work on any of those sentences that you have in the exercises of unit one and then I
Want you to push ahead and I want you to read unit two we're going to start reading about verbs next week at am andu I will bring up half a dozen sentences and I will read through them with you and you can check yourself if you try them this week you can check yourself only the ones that are in the exercises the exercises don't look at the drills for now look at the exercises we're going to be exercising that's our circuit that we run okay now um I want
To tell you before we end today I want to tell you I have to set you up to receive this kind of advaned knowledge when you're on that course if you can't do sit-ups and push-ups you're never going to get to that point where you can uh climb scale that giant obstacle fearlessly right that's where we have to get you and that's what I'm working on for you so please people please until the next time we meet those of you who are actively pursuing the Greek please try some exercise es and read unit
Two we are not going to accept any money we are still not monetized please do not listen to strangers who try to lure you into intellectual back alleys where they can take advantage of you you are the intellectual Marines of the Renaissance thank you for coming tonight hail
