Wholly Buyable
Advertising Creative Director Chas Bayfield takes you on a road trip through the Bible, leaving one significant item of baggage at home- religion. He tells the story from Genesis to Revelation and explains how this more than any other book has impacted western culture. Wholly Buyable is a podcast for people who might never normally pick up a Bible but who feel they should perhaps know a little more about it than they currently do. After all, the Bible is a book for everyone, not just believers. Listeners will be taken through action sequences worthy of a 21st century TV drama. They will be seduced by erotic poetry and bombarded with hallucinatory visions. Fill your boots with betrayal, brutality, beauty and, believe it or not, comedy. This isn’t your average Bible podcast; no one will be told what to believe but everyone who joins in the journey will hopefully feel that they know the world’s best-selling book a little better.

197: The Cull (Ezekiel 9-13)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In a vision that will have shocked those who first heard it, Ezekiel sees God leaving the Holy of Holies. This is the sacred room in the Jerusalem temple which is believed to have been God's earthly HQ since Solomon completed the building 400 years earlier.
It is a show of God's utter rejection of his people, and is designed to terrify them back into worshipping him.
The trouble is, those Jews left in Jerusalem and who weren't taken captive by Babylon's armies believe they are the virtuous ones and that God protected them because he favours them.
The opposite is true, and it appears that God has now abandoned them.
