01:01 Welcome to Bible Treasures.
01:02 My name is Rich Aguilera.
01:03 And I'm glad you're here.
01:05 But we also have a super awesome team
01:06 with us today.
01:07 Let's see who they are.
01:09 I'm Tim. I'm the computer ops student.
01:11 And I'm Sam.
01:13 The one that you need to call,
01:14 if you have historical document problems.
01:16 One call, that's all.
01:18 And I'm Nori,
01:19 the girl who handles all the cool artifacts.
01:21 Awesome. What a great team.
01:23 And, guys, before we get started today,
01:25 how about we sharpen our brains?
01:26 With a brain teaser!
01:28 With a brain teaser.
01:29 All right, here we go.
01:30 I got a good one for you guys today.
01:32 Let's see if you can figure it out.
01:34 It says what starts with the letter T,
01:38 is filled with T and ends with T.
01:41 What? I don't know.
01:42 Oh, my, that's hard.
01:43 Oh, yeah, I can't.
01:45 I find some good ones, huh?
01:46 Yeah, you do. Yes, you do actually, really.
01:48 I think we got a message from headquarters.
01:49 Let's check it out.
01:50 I need to see this.
01:53 Right there.
01:54 It seems like at school, I get in trouble all the time.
01:57 I get trouble at home too.
01:59 It just makes me mad.
02:01 I don't know what to do about it.
02:03 Can you help?
02:05 Wow, that's a great question.
02:07 Yeah.
02:08 There was a boy who used to get in trouble
02:10 in my class all the time.
02:11 Oh, really?
02:12 I really felt bad for him.
02:14 You know, there's just some kids that,
02:15 they're just good at getting into trouble or something.
02:17 Yeah. How do we reply?
02:19 I don't know.
02:20 You know, first thing so, let's get this in our journal.
02:22 Yeah, good idea.
02:23 Because this is a great question.
02:25 Yeah.
02:26 I'll write here.
02:27 What will we write?
02:29 Well, I'd say, how can you help my temper?
02:35 Yeah.
02:37 Good.
02:38 What should we do? You know what?
02:39 I think, I know exactly what we need.
02:41 There's an artifact I have in mind.
02:42 Oh, my job.
02:44 12B, 12B. This is gonna be good.
02:45 I wonder what it is this time.
02:47 You know, we've got some pretty cool stuff
02:48 that we've collected over the years.
02:49 I know. Wow! What is that?
02:51 What is it?
02:52 This is a relief map.
02:54 A relief map?
02:55 A relief map of an island called Tenerife,
02:57 which is part of the Canary Islands group,
03:00 just off the coast of Africa.
03:01 Yeah. I've heard it that before.
03:03 Yeah, actually, Sam,
03:04 could you please find that on the map for us?
03:06 Sure. It's off the coast of Africa.
03:08 So we will probably be right here.
03:10 That's it. There it is.
03:11 Tenerife. You know what?
03:13 If we were to find a location brief on this,
03:15 that would help a lot.
03:16 I got you. You got one?
03:17 Awesome. Let's do it.
03:20 Right there.
03:22 Oh, there it is.
03:23 That's cool.
03:25 Location brief, Canary Islands.
03:29 The Canary Islands are a group of islands
03:32 that belong to Spain, in Europe,
03:36 but geographically speaking, they are part of Africa.
03:41 They are located just 65 miles off the coast of Morocco,
03:47 and almost 1000 miles
03:49 from the mainland country of Spain.
03:52 The Canary Islands
03:54 are made up of a group of seven main islands
03:58 and several smaller islands.
04:01 The name Canary
04:03 has nothing to do with the birds.
04:06 In Spanish, Canarias
04:08 is a reference to canines or dogs
04:12 that apparently used to live on the island long ago.
04:17 Each of the seven Canary Islands
04:20 is incredibly different and unique.
04:23 Lanzarote is like walking on the moon,
04:28 due to its 300 volcanoes
04:31 crowded on to this small island.
04:34 Endless lava fields
04:36 and enormous craters dot the landscape.
04:42 Fuerteventura is known for its long miles
04:46 of white sand dune beaches and shallow clear water,
04:51 perfect for water related activities.
04:56 Gran Canaria is home
04:58 to one of the two capitals of the Canary Islands.
05:02 This small round island is almost 30 miles across,
05:07 but it is host to an amazing variety of landscapes,
05:12 including beaches, desert, tropical vegetation,
05:17 and even snowy mountain ranges.
05:22 Tenerife hosts a second capital of the Canary Islands,
05:27 and features mountain, forest, and beach landscapes,
05:31 with its majestic centerpiece, Mount Teide,
05:36 a massive volcano
05:38 and the tallest mountain in all of Spain.
05:43 La Gomera is a small mountainous island
05:47 that abruptly rises up out of the ocean,
05:50 almost 5000 feet above sea level.
05:54 La Gomera is also home
05:56 to an ancient whistling language
05:59 that would allow people
06:00 to communicate across wide valleys.
06:06 La Palma has a nickname.
06:09 La Isla Bonita or the Pretty Island
06:13 because of its lush greenery,
06:16 natural springs and blue skies.
06:20 The seventh island is the smallest, El Hierro,
06:25 an island of mountains and craters, cliffs
06:29 and some of the most fertile growing lands
06:32 in all of the Canaries.
06:35 There are several unique
06:37 kinds of nature native to the Canaries,
06:40 including many kinds of flowers, cacti,
06:44 and a unique plant called the dragon tree.
06:49 Many different types of birds, reptiles, mammals,
06:54 and sea creatures live in the Canaries too,
06:58 due to the wide range of habitats
07:01 found on this group of islands.
07:05 These islands may be small,
07:08 but the diversity of nature found here
07:11 is wonderful and profound.
07:15 This concludes this location brief.
07:19 Interesting.
07:20 Isn't that a cool place?
07:22 Yeah. Definitely.
07:23 Really remote too, and hard to get there.
07:25 I actually got to travel there once.
07:26 Cool. Really?
07:28 Yeah. And you know why we went?
07:29 Why?
07:30 Because my mom's family is from this island.
07:33 Oh, there? Really?
07:34 Wow! Yeah, it's pretty cool.
07:35 And she had always told us about this place
07:37 when she was little.
07:38 So it was just kind of on our bucket list
07:40 of someday get to go there.
07:42 So the day finally came,
07:43 and I actually got to go with my parents...
07:45 Oh, that's awesome.
07:47 To this island. It was cool.
07:48 We had planned ahead and we found a place to stay
07:50 and we were so excited
07:52 and ready to have an awesome time.
07:54 We arrived and landed at the airport.
07:57 And then we stayed in one of these cities here.
07:59 Let me see. Was there a hotel there?
08:00 Yep, it was right there.
08:02 Wow!
08:03 Right off the edge.
08:05 It was cool place and it had black sand beaches.
08:07 Black sand?
08:09 I've never seen that before.
08:10 What?
08:11 You know, why it has black sand?
08:13 Why?
08:14 Because this is a volcano.
08:15 A volcano, right.
08:17 A volcano? Yep.
08:18 And as a matter of fact,
08:19 these islands belong to the country of Spain.
08:21 Spain?
08:22 And this is the tallest peak in all of Spain.
08:25 Really? In Africa?
08:26 Yeah, can you believe that?
08:28 An island off the coast of Africa.
08:29 What did the people speak there?
08:30 And it's over 12,000 feet
08:32 right at the top of the mountain.
08:33 Wow! And that's tall.
08:35 Now, right here at the top of the mountain.
08:37 That's a volcano, as I mentioned.
08:38 And it is considered to be an active volcano
08:41 by some scientists
08:42 because it has erupted even in the last 100 years.
08:46 Really? Last 100 years?
08:48 So what do people speak there, what language?
08:50 They do speak Spanish there. Oh, cool.
08:52 Right. It is cool.
08:53 So that helps because I speak Spanish,
08:54 so we were able to communicate just great there.
08:56 Oh, that's great.
08:57 So you know what we did?
08:58 When we were there with my parents,
09:00 we rented a car.
09:01 Okay. Nice.
09:03 And we wanted to go up and see the volcano.
09:04 Can you believe that?
09:05 You can actually get close to a volcano.
09:07 You can? No, I didn't.
09:08 I thought you'll burn up or something.
09:09 Yeah, it's scary because it's an active volcano.
09:11 Is it hot up there?
09:12 It is kind of hot up there.
09:13 And, of course, we're always worried
09:15 that at any moment, that get explode.
09:16 Oh, no!
09:19 But we were brave.
09:20 We decided to get into our car
09:22 and there's a road that actually goes up
09:24 and into the crater right here.
09:26 The cool thing is, once you enter into the crater,
09:30 it's like you're on a different planet.
09:32 Really?
09:33 Yeah, it's weird because there's no trees,
09:35 no grass, just lava as far as you can see.
09:38 Like Mercury or Saturn?
09:40 Yeah, I mean, I've never been to those places,
09:42 but it looked like another world.
09:44 Wow!
09:46 I would have loved to be in there.
09:47 It was so cool.
09:48 Now we kept getting closer and closer and closer
09:50 on this road.
09:51 And then we arrived to a spot right about there.
09:53 And there's a cable car
09:55 that you can take to the very top.
09:56 The very top? Okay.
09:58 And the whole time... I want to do that.
10:00 It'd be cool. Me too.
10:01 And the whole way up, we're just kind of worried,
10:03 boy, I hope this place doesn't explode on us.
10:08 Let me tell you being at the place like this
10:10 just made me wonder if it could explode any moment.
10:12 And sometimes people can explode at any moment.
10:16 Oh, that's good point. Yeah.
10:18 Because the person
10:19 that was writing in our question today
10:21 was worried about his friend
10:22 who's kind of explosive personality,
10:25 and sometimes his temper can get into a lot of trouble.
10:28 You know what?
10:29 Wouldn't it be great if there was a Bible verse
10:30 that can help us with explosive tempers?
10:32 I think that there probably is.
10:35 Why don't you look up James 1:19?
10:37 James 1:19.
10:38 And you gonna find that there's some amazing advice
10:40 that we can learn from this Bible verse.
10:43 It's right here.
10:46 Awesome.
10:47 If you can read it for us, Sam, James 1:19.
10:49 What does it say?
10:50 "So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear,
10:54 slow to speak, slow to wrath."
10:56 Oh, yep.
10:58 You see, God tells us.
10:59 This is a great advice for people
11:01 that can be explosive.
11:02 Be slow to listen and slow to speak.
11:05 And then you won't get yourself in trouble so much.
11:07 Yeah.
11:08 It's a great verse. You know what?
11:10 I gotta write this down. Yeah, you should write it down.
11:11 We should write it down.
11:12 It was James...
11:14 What was it?
11:15 1:19. 1:19.
11:17 Wow, that's a great verse. Really.
11:19 Man, you guys wanna see some pictures from my trip?
11:22 Yeah, I would like to. I saw in the file.
11:23 You saw in the file? Yeah.
11:25 Let's take a look at it.
11:26 As I was looking around.
11:28 Cool.
11:29 Yeah, right there.
11:30 Wow! That's awesome.
11:32 Cool. It's a beautiful place.
11:33 Look at the volcano.
11:35 Yeah, I'd be so scared to be there.
11:36 I don't do it.
11:38 When someone loses their temper,
11:39 it can be pretty intense.
11:41 When people are not in control,
11:43 their words and actions can be very hurtful and damaging.
11:47 We have to be careful
11:48 not to let our words and actions
11:50 cause hurt to others
11:52 because I was angry at that moment.
11:56 The Bible even has another verse in Proverbs 29:11,
11:59 that says, "A fool vents his feelings,
12:02 but a wise man holds them back."
12:05 We can't go around being fools.
12:08 God gave us brains to be smart and to be wise.
12:11 We need to be like the wise one,
12:13 and hold back and control our feelings.
12:16 Right. Yeah.
12:17 Now we've all gotten angry before,
12:19 it is a human emotion.
12:20 But it doesn't have to mean that
12:22 we lose our cool every time someone makes you angry.
12:25 So true.
12:27 Plus, if you get angry
12:28 at something, someone else says,
12:30 you know, you're actually letting them
12:31 control your feelings.
12:33 That's true.
12:34 We've got to be smarter than that.
12:36 The best advice comes right from the treasure text.
12:39 Be wise, hold back your feelings,
12:42 keep your cool,
12:43 and you'll see that exploding like a volcano
12:46 doesn't solve any problems.
12:48 Usually, they only make the problems worse.
12:50 Yeah. Yeah.
12:52 It says it right there in today's Bible Treasure.
12:55 You know what, guys?
12:57 Why don't we close with a word of prayer?
12:58 Oh, God, yeah. We should ask the crew to come.
13:00 Let's bring the crew back in.
13:01 Hey, crew, where are you guys?
13:02 Come on in.
13:04 Let's have a word of prayer.
13:05 Would one of you guys like to offer prayer for us?
13:06 I would. Awesome.
13:08 Okay. Sam's gonna pray for us.
13:09 Let's bow our heads.
13:11 Dear Lord, thank You for this day.
13:12 Thank You for all the wonderful people.
13:15 Dear Lord, help us not to lose our temper
13:18 and help us to be more like You
13:21 and be slow to anger and quick to listen.
13:24 In Your Son Jesus name, I pray, amen.
13:26 Amen.
13:28 Hey, do you guys wanna get the answer
13:30 to the brain teaser?
13:31 Yeah!
13:33 All right, this was a tough one,
13:34 I think, I saw you guys
13:35 thinking and thinking and thinking.
13:37 All right.
13:38 The question was,
13:39 what starts with the letter T is filled with T and ends in T?
13:45 A tortoise?
13:47 No.
13:48 Tea pot.
13:50 A tea pot.
13:51 Yeah.
13:53 That's a good one. That was a hard one.
13:54 Yeah, it was. I'm thinking forever.
13:55 I'm so glad you joined us today for Bible Treasures.
13:58 Don't forget to search for treasure
14:00 every day.
14:02 See you next time.
14:04 Come on, guys, let's head out to the dig site.
14:05 Yeah, let's go dig.
14:06 Let's see what we can find today.
14:08 That'd be cool.
14:09 I thought we're gonna find some pretty neat stuff.
