The Cities of Refuge: The Shocking Biblical Truth | Bible Sleep Story | Scripture Verse Meditations

Описание: The cities of refuge were one of the most paradoxical legal systems in ancient history—where divine mercy and family justice collided, where invisible boundaries determined life and death, and where freedom depended on the death of a man you'd never met.

In this 2-hour Bible sleep story, we explore the shocking truth behind Israel's cities of refuge: the legally obligated avenger of blood, the maintained roads with "Refuge" signs at every crossroad, the paradoxical imprisonment of protected exile, and the High Priest whose death brought release.

This video combines deep biblical teaching with peaceful sleep meditation. The first 20 minutes provide authoritative historical and theological insight into this ancient system. Then, gentle Scripture verse meditations guide you into restful sleep with verses about God as our refuge, fortress, and safe dwelling place.
