Hi everyone, this is Chichu. Welcome to my channel. Now, as I promised, I mentioned I was going to show you more of my collection of some of the things that I have around with me, especially books. So, during the move process and opening up boxes and stuff like this, I came across some of the boxes that I had, some of my science fiction fantasy books, and some of the books that have found their way to me, right? I've inherited it, and I've added it to my collection. And I want to show you this collection, and I know there's other books that I have, but they're in random boxes, spreadouts, and it's going to take me a while to get to them, but this is the main chunk, okay? So, what I'm going to do is, I'm going to give you sort of, because people have been asking me to do some reviews and recommendations as well, or additional reviews and recommendations, so I'm going to sort of tell you what I've read from this collection. And I sort of pulled them out, I'm not sure if you can see it through the flat screen, the 3D, but I've pulled out the books in these three rocks, in these three shelves, right? Three levels that I've read, and I'll let you know, and these are mainly the ones that have kept with me, because, you know, there are books that I've read, sci-fi, fantasy books, and other books that I've read over the years that, you know, they were loaned out, lent out, I loaned them out to people, or during those, they got lost, or I just got rid of them, right? There's only so much I can carry with me from one move to another, right? But there are some other ones that I do have, and these are the ones that I've found that I've read, so I'm going to give you sort of a review and recommendation. All of these would be recommendations, except for one, one of them, it still keeps on coming with me for some reason, even though I stopped reading about a quarter of the way through, because it wasn't grabbing me, right? So most of these are going to be reviews, or the ones that I've read anyway, they're going to be recommendations, and then there's a whole bunch of books here that I haven't read, right? And I've been itching to read more science fiction fantasy books, and, you know, I've flipped through some, I've picked up some, and I keep on putting them back, but I do want to have a nice sci-fi fantasy read coming into the summer, right? Especially if you're going to the park, or going to the beach, or something like this, maybe a single book, or trilogy, or a whole series of books, right? So I'm going to show you the rest of the books I have here, and if you have recommendations, please let me know, okay? And when I did an update video, a couple of videos ago, I guess, I mentioned that I was going to put this video together, and some people have already given recommendations on the other video, and I'll read you those ones as well, okay? Before I start showing you the other books. And if you were following my work, you'll know that I'm a comic book collector. I don't know if I'm a huge comic book collector, but I've been collecting for a long time.  And people have been asking me to show you some of my graphic novel collection, because some of the other videos we've made, there's been some graphic novels in the background and stuff, right? And I grabbed a handful of graphic novels, so before we get into the science fiction fantasy stuff, I'm going to show you just a handful of the graphic novels that I grabbed that I have, and these are almost all of the science fiction, while they're not actually, because these are pretty rare comic books, a lot of them are just basically sci-fi, right? But these are sort of more science fiction fantasy, sort of sorcery graphic novels that I want to show you. And I don't have a huge graphic novel collection, I have a nice size singles collection, and that's what I mainly collect. I usually like collecting the singles, and then every now and then I buy graphic novels, something catches my eye to read all the way through, good reading if I'm traveling and stuff like this, and one book format you can grab it and go, right? So I've read a lot of science fiction and fantasy through comic books, right? And one of the ones the video previous to this we did, I showed you guys my savage sort of Conan collection, right? And these are like amazing. I feel like fantasy, sort of sorcery, you know, wizards, demons and whatnot, savage sort of Conan, there's nothing like it, right? But what I want to do is show you, just before we get into this stuff, I'm going to show you the sort of the comic books that I grabbed, the graphic novels that I grabbed, and again keep in mind that most of my collection comic books isn't singles, so the majority of sci-fi fantasy reads that I've done in comic book format isn't singles, okay? So there's a lot that I haven't, you know, I can't show you guys. One of the ones, of course, being that, you know, we did one of the most amazing comic book companies that has ever been, was one of the early ones from the Golden Age of Comics, EC Comics, and we already did three readings of EC Comics weird science fantasy, right? So if you want to get a feel for how science fiction stories are told in comic book format, then, you know, take a look at those videos and they'll give you a really amazing feel of what science fiction is like. Coming to you in comic book format, and one of the reasons that, not one of the reasons, but when I started this whole comic book reading videos that I did, initially, I guess, I don't know, two, three years ago or so, the first comic book I believe we started off with was Eye of Doom by Marv Wolfman, right? And that was an amazing science fiction read, right? There's a few other ones, I guess, in science fiction we've done comic book readings, so if you want to take a look at them. But as far as what I have in my graphic novel collection that I've read, there's science fiction that I can highly recommend, one of them is Snowpiercer, okay? It's a French graphic novel, and this is the English translation, and I came across this after I bought this online, after watching the movie, and I really, really liked the movie. Some people didn't like it, but I thought it was one of the most brilliant dystopian post-apocalyptic movies ever put out, and it's a fantastic movie if you want to watch it. And this is the comic book, Snowpiercer, this is volume one, whoops, and this is volume two, okay? I highly recommend it if you like dystopian post-apocalyptic movies and comic books, okay? On, I guess, Golden Age Front, again, we've read Weird Science Fantasy from EC Comics, we've read Three of them, and we've talked about Jack Kirby, and we're going to be doing either the reading for New Gods or Forever People Number One from Jack Kirby, and Jack Kirby is one of the most prolific, amazing comic book creators ever, right? And his imagination was mind-boggling, right? And he did amazing science fiction, mixing it with folklore and stuff like this, so Jack Kirby for sure, check out if you like science fiction stories, especially in comic book format, but another one, another person that did amazing work when it comes to came to science fiction and comic books was Wally Wood, yes, yes, yes, right? And this is a sort of graphic novel I picked up, Compilation, I actually had this one, Weird Science, this is one of the ones I have framed up, right? And we read, again, we read Three Weird Science Fantasy, well, one through three of them, two of them manuals, one of them single, right? And we read some stories from those, but Wally Wood is absolutely brilliant, and let me show you, just to give you a feel for it, so Wally Wood is absolutely brilliant. And again, if you like science fiction fantasy, the golden age of comics is absolutely amazing. Let me show you these, and again, I show you the singles, the Conan, but the savage sort of Conan, I love reading savage sort of Conan, there's so much, and we actually have, we went through the covers, I actually have this one, we looked at the cover of this one, I forget what number this is, right? The single of this, right? Fantastic cover, I love this cover, Soren Sorcery, and this is volume, you know, I showed you guys in the video volume one of Conan the Barbarian, different savage sort of Conan, right, different series, savage sort of Conan is more mature, and Conan the Barbarian comic book format is more censored, because you have to abide by the comic code, right? But savage sort of Conan magazine format is more adult oriented, so if you like sci-fi fantasy for sure, that's where you want to be, savage sort of Conan. Let me show you these one, two, two graphic novels that I recently picked up, and let me show you this one as well, actually before we get to these, Margaret Wise and Tracy Eggman, and this is, you know, Dragonlands Chronicles, and these two combinations, these two authors, fantastic stuff they've written in one of the books series that I'm going to recommend is From Them, but I haven't read the Dragonlands novels, and I do have a huge collection here, right? But you know, I didn't read through this, it was good. Which one is this one? I don't know, this is part two, Dragonlands Chronicles, Dragonlands of Spring, Donning, part two. You know, I don't know if I have number one, I had another one in the shelf, right? And let me show you these last two graphic novels that I grabbed, one of them I picked up recently, and I flipped through it, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, right? Fantastic science fiction, fantastic science fiction, right? And this is the newspaper comic strips, the whole thing, put together in one volume. Whoever decided to do this, thank you. Okay, I'm not sure if this is the first time this came out from Dark Horse Comics, okay, and here's a table of contents. And what it is, it's something so, is the dailies and then the sundae, right? So I don't know how many years this goes through, the dailies here, and the sundae issue which is in color here, right? So if you like a fun read that flip through this, it's fun. At some point I'll sit down and I'm going to use the little marker, this thing comes with it, so I'm going to, I haven't read this far yet, I've only, you know, read a handful of them, so I'm going to start off and read and read and read and read, right? And the back, the description of this says, for over 14 years Masters of the Universe had its own newspaper comic strip for 14 years, right? This story continued the tales from the filmation cartoon and bridge the saga to the space-themed new adventures of He-Man cartoon relaunch, so sort of filling in the gap, right? It's sort of like the Samurai Jack comic books that came out filling in the gap from season one, two, three, four, and with the fifth season, they just started, right? The comic strip only ran in selected newspapers and was never reprinted, so most fans have never read it, right? Until now, Dark Horse brings you the first collection of these strips restored and ready for you to unleash the power. Awesome. And let me show you this one too. And this is something that I picked up, I guess last year, 2016, I still haven't cracked the broken yet. This is a volume one of, no volume two, the lights are reflected, I know volume twos out there, and this is Alexandro Jodorowsky, he's a master sci-fi storyteller, right? An amazing art, absolutely amazing art. Okay, so this is still in this casing. I usually sometimes I buy stuff, I shouldn't not sometimes, a lot of times I buy stuff that I want to read, that it's sort of a reminder for myself, right? So I put it on my bookshelf, if I end up reading it right away, I read it right away, if not, I know it's there, and sometimes I go on my bookshelf and I scan the books to see what I want to read, right? And, you know, if I'm hungry for a certain type of story, I grab and I start reading it, so it's nice to have access to those things, right? And this is one of the reasons I have all these collections, because I haven't read everything, right? There are things that I want to read. Now, let me show you, or let me tell you what I've read out of these three racks here, and all of them, almost all of them are going to be recommendations, okay? Now, this book, and I've pulled them out the way I know those are the ones I sort of scanned it, this is one of the first sci-fi books that I read that stuck with me, and I read this during high school, and actually, let me tell you of three of the other ones that I've read that they're in a box somewhere, I hope they're in a box somewhere, hopefully I didn't get rid of them, because I've done those, this was during, I read these during my university years, okay? So, just so I don't forget to mention these, it's, in here I pulled out, you know, Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, and I haven't read it, I read it a little bit, but it didn't grab me at the time, right? And, just so you know, C.S. Lewis is probably author that I've read the most, I don't know why, it just happened, right? I loved the way he told stories and his logic and his reasoning, his wording, so I've read a lot of C.S. Lewis, I don't know how many books I've read of C.S. Lewis, but I've read a fair bit, and his essays, his essays are absolutely brilliant, and when I found out that he had written science fiction book, a trilogy, I picked it up during my university years, and I read them, and they were fantastic, and they're not here, so I'm just going to mention these, but the Space Trilogy by C.S. Lewis, there's three books, Out of the Silent Planet, Prolendra, and That Hidious Strength, and they came out in 1938, 1943, 1945. For me, I actually ended up reading The Hidious Strength before the other two, so after I read Hidious Strength, I was like, okay, what's going on? Not what's going on, but it was sort of disconnected from the rest, but there was a hidden story there, so I went back and read the first two, and it's a fantastic, fantastic read. Okay, so that's one series, one set of comic books that are science fiction books that I've read that I highly recommend, they're fantastic, and at some point I do want to reread them again. Another book that I read, and this is probably one of the first science fiction books that I read that stuck with me, and I read this in high school, and I kept this, this is the one that I read, The Andromeda Strain. Yes, it was a really good read, and who's the author with this? Michael Cretchton, I don't think I've read anything from him again, but this really stuck with me, and there's a movie out on this, The Andromeda Strain, and it's a fantastic science fiction movie if you want to read it, if you want to watch it, okay, but the book is, I highly recommend the book, I don't know which one I, you know, if I saw the movie first, right, read the book first, but this one is fantastic. Okay, let me show you these guys. This is a, I believe this is a five book set, hopefully it's not seven, I think I have all of them, and it's by Jack Chalker, and it's The Wall of Souls, midnight at the, I don't know, I forget which order they go in, but midnight at The Wall of Souls, exiles at The Wall of Souls, I think Twilight is the last one, but quest for The Wall of Souls, the return of Nathan, Twilight at The Wall of Souls by Jack Chalker. I remember talking with a friend of mine, and and he's a huge sci-fi fantasy connoisseur, and he's pretty big in the sci-fi world and comic book world and stuff like this. He was in the gaming world, and he's huge in the gaming world as well. He was one of the pioneers of Magic the Gathering, right, and there was a time where our paths crossed for a few years, and we kept in touch and stuff like this, and so he, you know, and at the time I had these on the bookshelf, and he scanned my bookshelf, it goes, what, you read The Wall of Souls? I said, yeah, yeah, I read it, and it goes, what did you think about it? And my comment was, I loved it. I loved it until the last half of the last book, until four and a half books. I hated the ending, and he's like, he couldn't believe it. He's like, what are you talking about? I don't want to get too many spoilers away. It's a fantastic series, really. It's stuck with me. I'd like to read it again, and I'll read the ending again, but I'm not going to like it again. Okay, so it's a great, great series. I pulled out Narnia just so I could remember to tell you about C.S. Lewis, the trilogy, okay? Of course, of course, I've read The Hobbit, right? And I read The Hobbit after Lord of Rings, and I've read, of course, of course, I just like trudged.  I came out of high school not reading too many books. The books they offered in class for us to read just didn't interest me very much, right? And you didn't get to choose at the time. I don't know if you get to choose now or not. So I came out of high school. I went to university right after high school and I wasn't interested, so I took a break, and I went and worked at a gas station, a graveyard shift, the reason I got the job at a gas station, at a graveyard shift, so I started at 11 p.m. Worked till 7 a.m., right? And the reason I did that was because I wanted to read Lord of Rings, and I am a very slow reader. Back then I was even slower than I am now, way slower, right? So during my down times, I read The Lord of Rings, and this is the one, these three are the ones that I read during that time, okay? It took me a long time to read it. It took me a few months to read it, to finish it. Book two was extremely difficult to get through, oh my god. So difficult, so difficult. But highly recommend it, of course, Lord of Rings, right? And I'll show you these ones as well. These are a couple of compilations or follow-ups to Lord of Rings and Hobbit. Here's Journey of Frodo, right? I bought this. It's got maps and stuff. I'm pretty sure I bought this one. Right? It's fun. I've gone through this whole thing. I've read this whole thing. And I got this one as a gift, or it could have been both of them together as a gift. And the person that gave me the gift, this, is the A to Z of token, and I've read through this whole dictionary, right?  It was a great read. I don't know why. I just immersed myself and I just kept on reading it. And the person that gave me this, and I think both possibly, is the person that all of these science fiction fantasy books belong to that have found their way to me, okay? So if you like this thing, just sit down and read, you know, page at a time or little excerpt at a time. It was really fun. Now, let me show you this. If you're a science fiction fan, fantasy fan? Well, fantasy, no, but science fiction. If you haven't read Dune yet, whatever you're reading, finish it and go read Dune. Must Read by Frank Herbert. This is the only Dune that I've read. I have one of the other ones here and I've been seriously thinking about picking that one up and reading it, but I'm not gonna make sure it's the second one in the series, okay? And okay, let me show you this one. This is a book that was recommended to me at university. I picked it up after, and I picked this up after reading C.S. Lewis. I was talking with someone, a friend that was a science fiction fantasy fan, and I told him I read the C.S. Lewis one, and he didn't know about it, but he said, oh, I recommend this. The Summertree by Guy Gabriel Kaye got to not even a third of it. I got to about there. I put it down. It didn't intrigue me. I might not have gone far enough into it. If you think this is good, I'm willing to give it another try. I don't know why I've kept it. Maybe there's a reason why I've kept it. And let me show you the last DMB. This is my favorite above Lord of Rings. This is fantasy. Okay, so Dune, my favorite science fiction read is Dune. My favorite fantasy read is The Deathgate Cycle by Margaret Wise, Wheeze, I'm not sure how you pronounce it, and Tracy Eggman. I forget which order they go in, and my friend that actually, I talked to him about The Well of Souls. He got me a couple of the books signed. I don't think these are the ones. I think the stuff that I have signed is actually in another box somewhere. But this series is absolutely brilliant. Here's the hardcover of The Hand of Chaos, and I got the paperback as well. I'm not sure why I have both. The hardcover sometimes comes out first, if I recall correctly, and then they release the paperback. As they're coming out, you grab the hardcover, comes out first, maybe I'm not sure. Hand of Chaos. And there's seven books in this series, I believe. I hope so anyway. Let me show you this one too. This is the one. Oh, that's the seventh game I want to show you that one. A Fire Sea. There's two of them. This is the one that's got two, got two paperback. I think one of them, I was reading it, and the other one, the original one with this collection. So we're reading this at the same time. We couldn't share. We couldn't wait. The Serpent Mage. The Chaos. I'll show you that one. Into the... I think this is the one. Sandgate. Fantastic series. I really love this. My wish, desire, where I would be ecstatic, beyond belief, would be if this thing was turned into a movie. Seven movies, preferably. Love. Love to see the deathgate cycle on the big screen. Love it. I would drop everything. I cannot recommend that highly enough. For me anyway. Now, let me... Is that it? And I do have some other books as well. But I can't remember what they are. They've been in boxes for a long time, so maybe if there's a lot more, there's gaps here, there's another shelf here. I know I have at least one more road like this somewhere. So if I do come across them, if there's anything really standing out, I can't recall right now. Definitely like you guys know. As far as the other books, let me show you what else there is here. I don't know anything about them. Before I show you these ones, let me read you because in an update video, a couple of videos before this, I mentioned I was going to do this video that I was going to ask for recommendations. And there are some people that recommended some books on the other video. And I'm just going to mention these, that way I know what they are. So I don't have to chase down the comments again. So everything is in one place. And I looked up these ones. They all looked fantastic, right? They all looked like they would be amazing reads. But it would be nice for me to at least read some more of this stuff. But if you guys think these ones are superior to some of the stuff I have here, there must read before some of the stuff here. Because it's not really about superiority. It's about what would intrigue you, what would interest you. These are the recommendations I've had so far from the other video. And they looked really good. One of them was The Book of the New Sun. I didn't write down who they are, so sorry about that. But The Book of the New Sun, The Thrawn Trilogy. Thrawn Trilogy is the Star Wars one I believe I have here, actually. So The Book of the New Sun, Thrawn Trilogy, the name of the wind, that looked really cool. This world, that looked really cool. Altered Carbon, the more I think about this name, the more really intriguing. And this looked crazy. Bio of a space tyrant. That looked really interesting. And someone else recommended Dragon Lance, and I have a whole bunch of Dragon Lance's here. Okay, I'll show you those ones as well. So those are the recommendations we have so far. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. And these are the other books that I have. So let me pull some of these down. Maybe it will go through this fast because there's a few of them. So if there's anything you think I'd be, you know, if you've watched my videos, or you think it's amazing that you would highly recommend the way I recommended the ones that I've read so far to you guys. And I recommend all of the ones that I've read so far.  So these are your books. This is one I have without the cover on it. The Last True Elf, Stephen, Stephen King, Four Past Midnight, Fairy Tail, Raymond E. Feist, Feist, Raymond E. Feist again, A Darkness at Sethanon, Raymond E. Feist, Silver Thorn, Ursula K. Lugin, The Left Hand of Darkness, The Dungeons and Dragons Game, and Endless Guest Book Number Two, Mountain of Mirrors, by Rose Estes. This is like, looks like a really quick read. Maybe a quick read though. Here's another one, Dungeon of Dread, Book One. So that's Book Two. This is Book One. Fairy Read. It's got a little image right there too. William Gibson, Burning Chrome, I got one Conan paperback. I've read a lot of Conan, love Conan. I've actually never read a Conan paperback. Story by Roger E. Moore. Well, if I end up reading a Conan story, it's going to be by Robert E. Howard, right? King's Dragon, Kate Elliott. So that's a bunch there. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, two of the singles. So if it is going to be a read, it would be full edition. The Last Battle. One animation that I love, absolutely love. Winnie the Pooh. The origin of Winnie the Pooh is pretty cool. Canadian. Winnipeck. Winni. Winnipeck. The Deed of Parks and Naurian. The Deed of Parks and Naurian. Elizabeth Moon. So there's a whole bunch of books here for Forgotten Realms. Let me show you which ones I got. This is the whole series, same characters are different. Hi, who are they written by? But I'll show you these ones, just to give you the names. Realms of the Underdark. Shadow of Doom. Elmester. The Making of a Mage. On a Fire. Ed Greenwood. That is he covers. Forgotten Realms. Siege of Darkness. But R.A. Salvatore. The dust jacket is on. And Passage to Dawn. Again, R.A. Salvatore. That's one row. Let's see if we can... Market-wise Tracy Hickman. The Dark Sword trilogy. There's a trilogy, so hopefully I got the rest of them in there. On a shelf somewhere, gotta put them in order. And this one's called Forging the Dark Sword. So this is volume one. Cool. Forging. Forging the Dark Sword. So maybe we just got volume one here. Game of Thrones. George R. Martin. Books that are in the series. I haven't read this, I don't know why. I think I just came through it. The H Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Douglas Adams. And I think there's a whole series of these out. Raymond Feist. I should put that with the top stuff. Magician's Apprentice. Raymond Feist. Shadow of a Dark Queen. Game translation by Maria Ginsberg. The most influential sci-fi classic of the century. We. By Yevgeny Zemaitin. I'm guessing this is Russian. Here's the author's name. Russian sci-fi would be cool. Genes of Dregnor. Rondy Velot. Rondy Velot. Dregnor. Organizers. Let me put these with the same author. Sort of good organizing. Infist again. Magician's Naster. Organize this while I did one round of organizing. Raymond Feist. Rise of Merchant Prince. I think I might be reading a Raymond Feist book. There's a reason why there's so many of them. So this goes. Let me put this. So this goes in the shelf there. Volume two of the Crown of Stars. Kate Elliott. Prince of Prince of Dogs. Volume two. So I must have volume one here. Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert. This would be a great read as well. There's something that's going to go with the one. Island of Lizards. Ian Irvingston's Island of Lizards. Tales of Known Space. The Universe of Larry Naveen. This is more science. The next 10,000 years. Could be science fiction. Could be science. Thirteen dazzling journeys into a future history by the author of Ringworld. No, science fiction. Future. Futures maybe. Anne Rice. Interview with the Vampire. Shadow Maze. Mark and Julia Smith. So that was the second one. Hopefully she's seen some stuff there that you'd like. Now, let me show you these guys. This is all from here, including these three hard, what do you call them? The hard cutters. All the way to here is Dragonlands. So let's pull these out. So all of these are Dragonlands. And let me show you these ones. I don't know which, you know, this is volume one. This is volume three. This is volume two. So they might be all appropriately numbered. But let me show you these. And these are written by they're written by different people. This is Margaret Wise. This one is here's another volume one. So I don't know which one comes first. And this is Richard Knack. So let me read you these one. Richard Knack. Kaz Heroes II volume one. Dragons of winter nights. Margaret Wise, Tracy Hickman. Chronicle Trilogy volume two. Test of the twins. Volume three.

And there's two of these. The second generation. Wise and Hickman. That's the Dust Dragon for something else. Yes it is. Check this out. I can't believe this was hiding. And I gotta check out these things. Okay this is for this. Check out what I've found. Star Wars. The last command by Timothy Zahn in three. So it must be these ones. So those are the dragons. I'm gonna keep the Star Wars here until I sort it out. That's gotta be this trilogy. Yeah. Volume two. Volume was this one. Volume three. So let me show you the Star Wars stuff I have. Volume one of the Jedi Academy trilogy Star Wars. Jedi search Kevin Anderson. There's the truth of Star Wars. The truth of Bakura. Kathy K. Ties.

Hartwell with the assistance of Catherine Graham. These are short stories and a lot of Mark Twain's in here. Again nice reading on the side. The world's creatures. The Burning Stone. Kate Elliot. And this one I picked up after watching interviews by Neil Stevenson. You know I'd read up on him stuff like this and people said this was worth the read. Volume one of Quicksilver. And a friend of mine said that this was a good read. He is a coder. Heavy duty coder. So he told me to read this. So I picked it up. Heavy read. This is volume one. Yikes. Might be amazing to merge one itself in right? But Neil Stevenson Quicksilver would be an interesting read. So those are all sci-fi fantasy books I have out. There's a lot of fantasy here. And some science fiction. I lean more towards science fiction for sure. But I love fantasy as well if you just immerse yourself in it. And if it grabs you it's absolutely brilliant. There's nothing else like it. Again the death gate cycle right? And that's both it. If I come across anything else that you know that I forgot that I can recommend I will definitely recommend it. And if there's anything here or from the recommendations so far that people have given the book of the new son the thought trilogy I believe is this one the Star Wars the name of the wind disc world altered carbon bio of a space tyrant if any of those or anything that have shown you you think is a must read is absolutely brilliant or that you really absolutely love recommend it comment and I'll take a look at those stuff and I'm definitely gonna immerse myself into something one or two or three it's been it's been a while since I've sat down and read some good books I've been mainly focused on comic books I've just dealt with the comic books hardcore so I've been reading a lot of comic books but I think it's time to start you know evening balance and balancing out the life right and start reading some more books again and stuff and you know that way it's easy to travel with and stuff too right other than graphic novels of course so that's about it I hope you enjoyed it and happy reading I guess I'll see you guys in the next video bye for now

So that would be The version that we use for the classes You're free to look up other versions for your better understanding of the word and We are going to follow through with Enduring word.com That's a commentary by David Guzik and we are using his commentary primarily But then you know that there's a little bit of content from elsewhere as well So again, you're free to refer to David Guzik's commentary and additional commentaries That you prefer. So let's start off with a word of prayer and We'll get into the book of Hebrews today. So let me just start with a word of prayer Heavenly Father, we thank you Lord. We worship and honor you We thank you Lord for this time in your presence and the opportunity to learn your word Father, we pray that your word will come alive and Father God that you will help us so God to Be so strong in the faith father that that we can fulfill The purposes that you have Lord for each one of us father this morning. We come at all our concerns and Father Anything Lord that that may be weighing heavily upon our hearts into your hands. We pray for Lord the power of God to be demonstrated and reveal your glory Father God Father we speak blessing upon all the students and Their families as well, but especially Lord as we look ahead at the new year Lord We pray that this be a glorious your father a year with greater glory We thank you for this time in Jesus made me pray Okay, so the book of Hebrews very very interesting Study for all of us. We will begin with an introduction and understand Who wrote the book? You know when it was written. So then it gives us some context when we Read what has been written by the author. So as far as the authorship of the book is concerned The author does not identify Himself or herself give me generally in the epistles that Paul wrote we notice that he openly says Paul An apostle called by God Paul a bondservant of Christ. So he introduces himself But the unique thing about the book of Hebrews is that the writer doesn't Openly introduce himself or herself. So then that has given place for some speculation about who the author could be now there are people who state that Hebrews was also written by Paul Simply because it's around around the time when Paul was alive And they they also notice that some of the teachings which we observe in the book of Hebrews Can only come from someone who understands the Jewish culture very well and we know that Paul was a learned person and Thereby he would have had the capacity to write the way Hebrews is written Along with this the teachings in here are in harmony with the teachings of Paul. So there's no contradiction. So even though The name of the author is not mentioned and the style of writing is somewhat different from your usual letters who starts with an introduction and then addressing different matters and then Closing off with greetings Blessings thank you's that's not the style of the book of Hebrews. So it's like a prose. It's you know, it's it's a lot of text given here, it's quite different from the letters of Paul and so Maybe he wrote it, but why did he write it differently? So that's that's a question that arises So people think it could be Paul But then we can't clearly say that it is him Now other matters that you know, we see in some of the passages is in Hebrews 11 32 the author Identifies himself in the masculine grammar apparently Hebrew language and so that has Made people think that the writer could be a male Personality now whether it's Paul or not. We are not, you know, we can't tell a hundred percent because it's not written in there, but Who else, you know, if you say another male personality who else could it be there is speculation people think that it could be Barnabas Because he was a Levite and he may have had knowledge about the Jewish traditions and The temple practices and some others speculate that it could be Apollos because he was also a very learned person So all of this is speculation, but at the end of the day The writer does not identify himself. So I don't know if you've heard this, but I have a lot of People dealing with the text of the Hebrews would simply say the writer of the Hebrews Whereas some others will boldly say Paul says so believe it, you know, I add that whoever thinks that This particular person has written They are they are using that name in their messages or their writings But yeah, so that's how it is the the writer is not clearly identified So what is the time when this book was written? it is said that it was written somewhere between 67 to 69 AD and also Another thing for us to note at this time duration The temple was still there because the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem happened You know around 70 AD so then We also recognize that whatever the writer is talking about you'll see references to you know temple sacrifices priests so The practices were probably still going on and the writer With that understanding has put it across for us So maybe you know that the temple was still there It was not yet destroyed and that is why the writer was able to present Those pictures here in the book of it was to 67 to 69 AD before the destruction of the temple Literally form. I've already said it's not written like a letter, but it's written more like an essay in the Hebrew language and Who are the people that it was written to? It is said that this letter was written to persecuted Jewish believers or persecuted Jewish Christians so people who started moving away from Judaism They they were passionately following Christ, but then there was persecution They were opposed and they also may have gone through losses Because they would have lost the rights and privileges that they had among their own Jewish families Even in the society or the community people may have excluded them from their gatherings or or Some celebrations and it is also speculated that these people may have undergone greater losses such as Their property being taken away from them or some opportunities being taken away from them So being a Jewish Christian was not an easy thing Because you would you would have people against you and the writer of the Hebrews is trying to Work with the knowledge and information that these Jewish Christians already had they knew about worship and priests and sacrifices, so he is Through all of this knowledge, he is reiterating Then you found Christian faith and encouraging them and letting them know you know how much how What they are in right now is the fulfillment of all the traditions that they have been following so far So he's really bringing a word of encouragement to the persecuted believers And helping them stand strong in the Lord. So this is whom the book has been written to So what is the purpose of this book as I said? Encouragement mainly for the Jewish believers, but apart from this, you know, it's one of those rich Rich every word of God is rich But I'm just trying to say that when it comes to the revelation of who the Lord Jesus is his deity his redemptive work and how complete that redemptive work is you know and The the Trinity so many so many of these doctrinal concepts are beautifully explained and I would also say explained with depth in the book of Hebrews and I don't even know which which Which year this is that I'm teaching how many times I have taught the book of Hebrews But every time I prepare and I teach I feel like wow this this just gets better It just gets deeper And the same scripture seems to you know bring forth incredible meaning and Revelation so it's a beautiful book, but so much depth particularly when it comes to the doctrine that we hold on to And another thing so first I said is encouragement second. I said is the the Revelation right that we find here especially about the Lord Jesus Christ his deity doctrines It's all encompassed in the book of Hebrews and the third one is we will also find a Warning in the book of Hebrews so from time to time the author will remind the Jewish Christians and tell them look just because you're going through difficulty to give up and go back to Judaism You know, it's not the right thing to do like don't give up hold on and he also wants them about Pushing it too far. So in Hebrews chapter 6 we'll come to a passage where he talks about those who give up And go away from God and they even lose their faith. And so these consequences are quite dire and Therefore, he's warning them and saying don't go Away from God don't go back to the earlier practices because it's convenient comfortable and it will Once again, give you that that feeling of of being received by the community around you stand strong For the Lord, even if it is difficult and God will reward you So if it's a warning to not turn away from God and not to turn back from God so let me just pause here quickly check with all of us if you've ever done a study on the book of Hebrews and If if at all, you know, you have any thoughts to share, please let us know Okay, even if you've done a study any Any thoughts, I'm sure we've read the book of Hebrews. So What comes to your mind when you think about the book of Hebrews? I think the book is so intense much of revelation It takes a lot of it takes a lot of time to meditate and get the crisp of it And it's so so profound so deep. Yeah, and it also correlates with all the oldest And reminding us about our faith and Sure, sure. Yeah, sure. Yeah John, that's that's true. Thank you so much for sharing anyone else I've read the book a couple of times and I like how it shows that about angels and God the differentiation And I feel in Christology we have we have seen this where it says that Jesus is God and Yeah, that's one of the things I like and about even high priest how it's compared with Jesus I just feel like as you said, it's it's more about a deeper revelation of Jesus One of the things that we Get in this book Like how in the Old Testament and the New Testament are beautifully compared That full expression of Jesus I remember reading Hebrews even as I started this year And I was just asking God that one of the things that I want to do this year is to just know more About you. That's one thought that God put in my heart as I started 24. So yeah Yeah, thank you. Thank you so much for sharing Uh, so I think similar to what John shared depth revelation Especially revelation of who the Lord Jesus Christ is so, uh, let's begin and uh, Let's see what we can Get out of chapter one this morning. Uh, let's begin by reading the entire passage So that's what we'll do. We'll quickly read through chapter one and then I'll come back and explain portions of the first chapter Uh, so would one of you like to read through the whole thing or we can have two people Read two different portions We need uh, one person can read six verses and the next person the remaining seven verses Hebrews chapter one God who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past To the fathers by the prophets Has in these last days spoken to us by his son Whom he has appointed here of all things Through whom also he made the worlds Who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person And upholding all things by the word of his power When he had by himself purged our sins Sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high Having become so much better than the angels as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they For to which of the angels did he ever say you are my son today? I have begotten you and again I will be to him a father and he shall be To me a son, but when he again brings the first one into the world He says let all the angels of god worship him In Thank you rosalind. Uh, would anyone else? Like to read the next couple of verses, please And of the angels he says Who makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire?  Thank you for reading through the entire passage. Uh, let's come back to The first few verses and try and understand. Oh my god is speaking to us So as we begin, uh, the writer here starts off. I told us there's no introduction as such And it's amazing that he starts with the word god This also tells us that he is sure that he's speaking to uh, uh, a believing crowd Um and When we say god, of course with the rest of what is written we can affirm that he's speaking to the Jewish people They already have an idea about who this god is. So he doesn't try to explain it further It just starts with god meaning you already know This is the god of you know, the yoway god. It's the god of amram. Isaac jacob. I'm talking about that god god Who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past. So he's revealing to us the manner in which God, uh, the nature of god and the manner in which he wants to relate to us he is Almighty All powerful and we talk about the attributes of god, uh, where we say that you know, he is uh on mission or me potent or me present but Having these attributes. He still wants to relate to us. That's so beautiful because in various times and in various ways he spoke He communicated to us Uh, and he still communicates with us, right? And so we have this, uh, whole Desire for the prophetic. What is god speaking to us now? We we want to know that I know we've done a course on the prophetic as well. So he's a speaking god And he spoke to our fathers by the prophets in time past. Now god has spoken throughout ages And particularly he points to the prophets under the old You know in the old testament times But the writer is talking about the greatest message ever spoken by god So among everything that the lord has spoken if there is one thing that the writer chooses to emphasize It is about the lord jesus christ So in the person of the lord jesus christ is a message coming forth to us And that's what he's letting the people know that god Right now meaning in their times Has spoken in the best way possible and the best message possible and that message Is the lord jesus christ so Excuse me. He says in verse two Hasn't these last days Spoken to us by his son last days Simply referring to the time, you know after The death burial resurrection Of our lord jesus christ. So we are technically in the last days So right now the greatest message that god has spoken to us is through his son and notice We are told About god And his son so though we we don't have this term called trinity Input into The book of hebrus We will find that in some places there is a beautiful picture of the trinity emerging So god and his son Part of the trinity He has spoken to us by his son and now he's talking about the attributes of the son of god Where he the whole of the first chapter is telling us that jesus is lord The jesus is god He's part of the trinity and so he describes The attributes of the son of god and he says he has appointed air over all things being air over everything is a picture of lord ship So when we say the lord jesus christ and we talk about him We crucified on the cross of calvary. We know about his redemptive work But it's not just limited to that the lord jesus as jeffina was saying christology when we study about who he is Uh in you know being fully mad fully god There are all these aspects that we have to consider one of which the the writer is pointing to and he says appointed air of all things meaning look at jesus as lord ruler Okay, uh, and and he he reads over everything through who also he made the worlds so describing the activity of creation uh Sometimes we would say that you know the god he spoke let there be light and we attribute creation to the father And and sometimes people focus more on the spirit the spirit of the lord was hovering upon the waters And and you know, uh, we know that brooding is is a reproductive term So the spirit of god is involved in creation but the writer of the Hebrews is Letting us know that the son of god Is also involved in creation Through who also he made the worlds so the worlds were made through the lord jesus christ So there is uh, there is his involvement in creation itself So it's really beautiful That is reminding us and he's telling us look god spoke in so many ways in the past while all those messages are beautiful We uh can enlist you know god spoke to Moses through the burning bush. We could say you know, Elijah Through a stills small boys all of which are really You know things that we talk about a god spoke like this or you know isiah through a heavenly vision But beyond all the beauty and the magnificence of the way god has communicated The best way which he has communicated is through his son the lord jesus christ okay, and uh We are being told that he is part of creation the work of creation And he's the author of the worlds the author of the worlds that that term there the greek word is Aeon aeon which refers to ages and history itself. All right. So, uh, this is the manner in which This book has been written revealing the deity of christ. Okay. Uh, just a quick Correction, I think when I started out introducing the book I said the Hebrew language So my apologies greek. Okay, so it's written in the greek language Though the name of the book is Hebrews it is written to the Hebrew believers or the or the Jewish believers, but the text here that we are We we have to interpret is in the greek. So Right, so let's move on verse three He says who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person And upholding all things by the word of his power. Okay, it's too power packed to You know, sort of unpack quickly and keep moving on with the next verse But what what is the writer trying to reveal in these? Words he says who being the brightness of his glory So, you know when we look at uh, let's say you consider the source of light if it's dim Let's imagine The source of light is in this room and we are in the other room and some rays are reaching us if it's dim We can easily say that. Yeah. Okay. Maybe it's uh, whatever, you know, low Low watt wattage bulb Uh, or if it's super bright We could say hey, it's coming from a powerful source of light because the rays are so powerful Uh, and in the same way he's trying to give us an analogy here about the lord Jesus He says being the brightness of his glory So the lord Jesus is like that ray of light Imagine he is the one who has created all this the sun and all the stars And uh, what would be his brightness the one who's the brightest of them all? Okay, uh, the brightness of his glory Jesus is like that ray of light and through that ray of light We are able to understand who god is Okay So god Jesus is representing God or the father and as we look at the glory of the lord Jesus We get an idea about the glory of the father the glory of the godhead So he when he came here to our world He showed so bright by his character by his ministry Right by the power in which he moved and That's why he says the brightness of his glory so powerful life of Jesus Everything he said everything he did just by observing studying the life of Jesus You recognize oh, this is who god is, you know, so just so holy so mighty so loving And and he shone bright the glory of god among us That's the lord Jesus and the express image of his person express image of his person is somewhat to say you know when when letters go out and We may have a stamp All organizations institutions do this we have a seal Put that seal each time we can't recreate the logo or the emblem So we just carry a seal we just you know a dip it in ink and we stamp it out on our letters and the same seal goes out And it it represents the same thing Right, uh, it it represents who we stand for what we believe and In that manner the writer is saying, you know, Jesus is the Stamp like he is that express image exact image that exact if this is god It's like this when you stamp You get the same picture same image or you could even say like a mirror image exact image of god And that's what jesus came to do to represent god Well to us. So he's the brightness of his glory And he's also the express image of the person of god now. I want to understand god who is god We can understand god by the names that god revealed to us covenant names. We keep saying right jahoba um jahoba jaira jahoba rafa Covenant god who provides covenant god of healing to covenant god of peace through the names of god We can understand who he is. You know adonai, elthradai, elohim We recognize. Oh, this is the god that we serve we recognize him through his works What he did for the israelites how he You know went before uh joshua and the people and the miracles Elijah the god of Elijah the god of elisha and we get a picture an awesome god This is who he is But the right of the Hebrews is now adding to that and he's saying When you look at jesus You understand who god really is You can understand it by his names by his works but Primarily we understand him by the person of our lord jesus because he is the express image Of his person So for me to know god Remember jesus said i am the way the truth and the life no one goes to the father except i know You need to know me. You need to accept what i have done for you and uh through me is salvation Jesus is the express image of god jesus is the way to the father Jesus is revealing the father to us and the next patya upholding all things by the word of his power Think about this What holds the universe Because we can describe all the scientific philosophies and you know principles that we know and work out some mathematical Uh, you know algorithms, uh to explain how the stars are suspended Uh in the universe how the planets are suspended But the light of the Hebrews In line with describing the lordship Of jesus christ is now saying to us You know how god upholds This world the universe everything in its place, you know By the word of his power He said and there was light he said and created that the heavens were created By the word of god some uh 33 reminds us of that So the whole universe Is second place The word of his power it says instead of the power of his word the word of his power So this is how god is sustaining the world Now a small question to you and me What about our lives, you know if i may just for comparison sake say a small little lives In comparison to the universe The whole universe is sustained by the word of his power Why can't your life and my life be sustained by the word of his power and we know When we read the book of john He's the word In the beginning was the word The word was with god the word was god and So we must embrace The word of his power and let it really work in our lives Uh, so it's again talking about jesus how he's the radiance of god You know the brightness of his glory another word is the radiance of god The express image of his person upholding all things by the word of his power When he had by himself purged our sins now again talking about the redemptive work of god Why did he come here to the earth with the mandate of taking the sins of the world upon himself? and paying Our price on the cross so that we could be We could be set free from the wrath of god. So there's a reference to purging our sins and notice it says When he had by himself You know that again is so beautiful because god could have Uh done it any other way You know get your best angel get your best prophet Something like that or create another creature and say okay go you bring redemption for mankind At the love of god for us to do a complete work And a just work Is is such that he by himself purged our sins and The next thing again so very beautiful Sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high again a description of the uh trinity Up in heaven god is in heaven. Where is jesus at the right hand of the majesty? So uh god One god three persons Hebrews talks about it So jesus is at the right hand of the majesty majesty referring to Father god Uh, and he sat down. He sat down. I think in uh the book of acts. I explained that where Sitting down is a picture of having completed a task or an assignment which was given to us So we sit down after we have finished Jesus on the cross when he hung what did he say? It is finished I've done the work of it. I completed it okay, and now uh ahead of him was The the promise of the father that he spoke to the disciples about and he himself ascended up into heaven And when he went up into heaven He sat down because he had completed what god called him to do Uh, all right. So moving forward from there What do we see verse four having become so much better than the angels as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they so it is said Commentators say that another problem during the times of Uh, you know this this uh Hebrew believers was the worship of angels Which is why the writer had to Clarify and say that the lord jesus is god He's the son of god. He is creator He is the very representation of god. Whereas the angels are not And the angels are subject to this lord jesus christ And he's coming to that point the verses that follow will talk about angels Uh, and the comparison between jesus and the angels right here in verse four He's saying having become so much better than the angels. So obviously he's higher than the angels So what's the comparison jesus is creator? Angels are created You see so you cannot even equate the two Because it's completely different And so he's greater. He's so much better than the angels now. How is he better than the angels? One that is pointed here or listed here is by inheritance meaning The father has a son and it's not an angel. It's the lord jesus christ are angels the You know sons or i know in some places they're termed as sons sons of god, but That doesn't mean You know In the context that we are speaking the trinity being co-equal with god. They are not Only jesus is co-equal with god And you know the second personality in the trinity. So By inheritance that way, it's only the lord jesus who's the son of god He has obtained a more excellent name than they so Very clearly the writer is saying look jesus is greater Now by inheritance he has a great name, but remember when we uh read in philippians chapter two We see that the lord jesus humbled himself and obtained a name that is greater than Any other name so even through his obedience to the father not just inheritance So sometimes we look at it like oh look at this person They just inherited a fortune and they became the king or they became the boss They became the you know, whoever top ranking official in the company Just by inheritance, but in the case of jesus that's true as a son. He inherited A more excellent name, but also through his life his character his obedience And we read about that in scripture as well. So he was not that You know disobedience are who just inherited the father's legacy No It's the other way around Though he could be so proud and you know claim Uh superiority over people He was still so humble My inheritance he was already the son of god, but even by action by character by humility he Obtained a more excellent name and we read about that in philippines chapter two So just want to check how you all are doing if you're still there if you're still awake and still tuned in Okay, is that a yes or no Okay, okay. Thank you Anyone else? Yes Okay, thank you Okay, yes brother Collins. Thank you so much for confirming. Thank you everyone. Good to know that You know you're with me So let's see. We'll probably cover a little bit more before we wrap up for today uh All right, so coming to verse five here says for to which of the angels did he ever say you are my son Today I have forgotten you and again I will be to him a father and he shall be to me a son But when he again brings the firstborn into the world He says that all the angels of god worship him and of the angels he says Who makes his angel spirits and his ministers a flame of fire? so very clearly Again, the writer is reiterating the relationship that god has with the sun and the position of the Angels and who angels really are and as I stated earlier, this is possibly to uh sort of If there was a wrong teaching about worshipping angels The author wanted to destroy it because the only one who we should worship is a lot jesus and not any angels So these scriptures here These verses here also reveal to us the knowledge and understanding of the writer of the Hebrews because he is literally Coating from the old testament and you will notice that the book of Hebrews is one of those books where A lot of quotes from the old testament have been included So that reveals to us the knowledge of the writer of the old testament scriptures that he was really Uh, uh, a very adept student of the word of god So these passages are from psalm chapter two. So one of the verses that's quoted is psalm two seven another one is from second san jill seven and verse 14, uh, where it's God speaking to his son And not calling the angels his son. So for his son, which is the lord jesus. There's terms used such as begotten Okay begotten not created begotten and The other term here is first born into the world All of this attributing to the lord jesus christ and his greatness And his relationship with the father And again, you know a picture of the trinity. I already mentioned that to us you have terms like the father to I will be to him a father and he shall be to me a son All this is spoken to the lord jesus christ, but He has not spoken this to the angels. That's the point that he's trying to make but what about the angels then He's saying that all the angels of god worship him So angels as created beings are subject to god almighty Okay, they are they actually need to be worshiping god and Who angels are is also described for us because he says who makes his angels spirits And his ministers a flame of fire. So who are angels the angels are but They are spirit. We already know that and they are Ministers meaning they have been created by god to serve and we'll see later on verse 14 There is a reference to angels serving those who are born again who are part of the kingdom of god So Angels are supposed to worship jesus because he is god and he is lord and they are but created Spirits who must be subject to the lordship Of our lord jesus christ and they are ministers. Yes, they are powerful ministers. It says his ministers a flame of fire sometimes this scripture is quoted for Ministers as in not angels per se, but men and women of god who are serving But it's okay because the essence is correct powerful ministers. The lord surely equips his ministers, right? We are anointing the grace and all of that so But the verse as such is referring to angels who are serving spirits. So ministers means Those were in service now worship the word worship there in the greek Where it says let all the angels have got worship him. I'll just explain that word and stop for today The word worship is The word pros canoes it's greek. Okay, so I don't know if i'm pronouncing it correct But pros cano means Literally like lying cross prostrate So think about that picture of worship worship is To like sort of be in that position of surrender before god Where we are lying prostrate. I know we don't do it physically each time, but hopefully that's the Position of our heart where we are before the lord submitted to the lord and It's also said that that word means to to kiss or sometimes You know when we see maybe a pet dog licking the master's foot like it's it's adoring the master and it's it's You know just in the presence of the master Even that apparently is What this word means? So it's as of to say we Completely surrender to god. We we live prostrate for him It's it's going close to god and in our adoration Just just adoring the lord as if this word kiss is is mentioned here or like Uh, someone who is at the feet of their master just looking up onto the master that is worship And the writer says the duty or the responsibility of angels is to worship our lord jesus because he is so worthy of our worship Uh, I just wanted to translate that to us and say even we must be worshiping our lord jesus christ so with that It's a wrap on today's class and just to reassure our class based on our discussion yesterday. So discussions are Resolution for your concerns is underway. Uh, please do give me a little bit of time so that I can get back to you And uh, yeah, so maybe we can just pray Close today, uh, would anyone like to lead in prayer, please? Let's pray Father almighty god, we thank you for this lesson We thank you for speaking to us. We thank you for enlightening our brains King of glory. There is nothing we can pay for but only to glorify your name Let your word continue reigning in our life. Let it change us. Let us give Help us to do the great commission that we are called for we pray and declare this the name of the father the son and the holy spirit we pray Amen Amen Thank you everyone. God bless you Uh, I really hope that you're enjoying the book of Hebrews Bye for now

So now we're going to practice a few problems calculating the current, and our basic equation for current is the charge divided by the time. So we could do a simple calculation here and plug in a value for the charge. Maybe we've got 3.00 Coulomb's worth of charge. And let's say it's really slow when it actually takes 4.00 seconds for that amount of charge to flow through there. Well when you do that calculation you're going to get a value of 0.75 Coulomb's per second. And this Coulomb per second is our definition of what an amp is, so this is 0.075 Amps. We could plug some other numbers in there and get a similar sort of relationship here. Maybe we've got 0.4 Coulomb's that flows through in a time of 0.05 seconds, which would give us 8 Amps of current. Now you can use this sort of an equation to find the current, but you could also rearrange this equation. Maybe instead you're solving for the amount of charge. So if I was going to rearrange that equation I'd have to take the current, which is the rate the charge flows, and the amount of time it flows, and that would give me how much charge flows say through a wire in a particular amount of time. So let's do an example of that. Let's say you've got 5 Amps of current and you run that 5 Amps of current for 6 seconds. So how much charge would have passed through that wire in that 6 seconds? Well that's going to be 30 Coulomb's worth of charge. Similarly you could take and rearrange this equation for the time. And here you're cross multiplying, so you multiply both sides by time and then you divided both sides by the current. So the amount of time it takes is how much charge you're trying to move and the current or what rate you're trying to move that current at. And so here would be an example calculation for that. Let's say you had 20 Coulomb's worth of charge and you could move it at a rate of 5 Amps then it would take 4 seconds to move that much charge.
