The Biblical Remix – Joseph the Ruler

Having suffered many trials over the years, Joseph is taken out of jail to interpret a dream before the king. After the interpretation Joseph gives a solution to save the land. As the king makes him second in command of the land, this Nas song was playing in Joseph’s head:

“If I ruled the world, Imagine that, I free all my sons, I love em love em baby”

Genesis 41:37-40 – http://bit.ly/fcwfVp

Still affected by his mother’s death, Isaac finds comfort in his new wife Rebekah. As they spend their first night together in the mother’s old room, this Maxwell song plays in the background:

“Gonna take you in the room suga, Lock you up and love for days, We gonna be rockin baby til the cops come knockin”

Genesis 24:62-67 – http://bit.ly/gztWPL

Unseasoned in leadership Moses decides to assist his Hebrew brethren by killing an Egyptian slavedriver. As Moses puts away the body of the Egyptian in the sand this Cypress Hill song plays in the background:

While advising her girlfriends not to wake up love until the time is right, the Beloved gets excited when she hears the voice of her man. While he is approaching, Usher’s song plays softly in the background:

“Daddy’s home, home for me, And I know you’ve been waiting for this loving all day, You know your daddy’s home, It’s time to play…”

Song of Solomon 2:3-8 – http://bit.ly/hJkhNV

The Biblical Remix – The Immoral Woman

The King schools his son on the foolishness of a young man who got played by a hoochie mama.  Because she aggressively kicked her game she was able to seduce the young man into a deadly trap. BBD described her best with these words:

“Miss her, kiss her, love her, Wrong move you’re dead, That girl is Poisooooon, Never trust a big butt and a smile, That girl is Poisoooooon”

Proverbs 7:4-23 – http://bit.ly/dzJ7Sl

Up late at night, David was chilling on the rooftop of the projects.  While looking over the ledge, he peeped a woman named Bathsheeba taking a bath. While David was scoping out her body, this LL Cool J song was playing in the background:

“They’re jinglin, baby. Go ‘head, baby. They’re jinglin, baby. Go ‘head, baby. They’re jinglin, baby. Go ‘head, baby…”

Even though Ruth was a widowed immigrant, she remained faithful in taking care of her mother-in-law.

When Ruth explained to Boaz why she was lying down @ his feet @ midnight, this Rob Base song was playing in the background:

“It takes two to make a thing go right. Whoa! Yeah! It takes two to make it outta sight. Whoa! Yeah!”

Ruth 3:6-11 – http://bit.ly/9grQcz

Jose was not the baby daddy so he was ready to bounce on the pregnant Maria. Before God intervened by speaking to Jose through a dream, Jose was singing this Chris Brown song:

“I’m chuckin my deuces up to her, I’m movin’ on to something better, better, better, No more tryin’ to make it work, You made me wanna say bye-bye, say bye-bye…”

Matt 1:18-21 – http://bit.ly/by2y8G

The Biblical Remix – Hosea & His Wife

God commanded Hosea to love his wife Gomer, even though she behaved like a hoe (mirroring the adulterous behavior of the people of Israel).

In talking with her I imagined Hosea singing BizMarkie’s song:

“Oh Baby you, you got what I need, But you say he’s just a friend, But you say he’s just a friend. Oh Baby you…”

Hosea 3:1-3 – http://bit.ly/bHiFql

The Biblical Remix – David Gone Crazy

While taking refuge in the land of his enemy, David’s spot was blown because the people knew about his military history in Israel. Standing before King Achish, David heard this Seal song and took note:

“But we’re never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy…crazy. No we’re never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy…”

1 Samuel 21:10-14 – http://bit.ly/dzp1PW

The Biblical Remix – Cain Not Able

Cain was not able to manage his anger very well.  Right before he attacked his brother Abel, the lyrics from a Grandmaster Flash song were playing in his head:

“Don’t push me ‘cuz I’m close to the edge, I’m trying not to lose my head, Uh huh ha ha ha, It’s like a jungle sometimes, It makes me wonder how I keep from going under“

Genesis 4:5-8 – http://bit.ly/caT3bV

The Biblical Remix – Woman at the Well

While in conversation Jesus decides to blow up this Samaritan Woman’s spot by telling her she had five husbands and the dude she’s with now wasn’t even her husband. Why did he do that?

Because Jesus quickly identified this Samaritan Woman’s theme song was by Mary J Blige:

“Real Love, I’m searching for the Real Love, Someone to set my heart free, Real Love, I’m searching for a Real Love…”

John 4:16-18 – http://bit.ly/bd7NDk

The Biblical Remix – The Adulterous Woman

Ready to be stoned by her accusers for adultery, the “Adulterous Woman” was thrust into the judgment of Jesus.

“He who is without sin cast the first stone” said Jesus. The accusers left. Her sin was pardoned.

In her heart she sang this Alicia Myers‘ song:

“I want to thank you Heavenly Father, For shining Your light on me. You sent me someone who really loves me, And not just my body…”

John 8:2-11 http://bit.ly/aNOdEi

The Biblical Remix – David & The Cave

Psalm 142 – http://bit.ly/bHm2FZ

David had borderline depression. In the midst of being homeless & on the run from authorities, he wrote many psalms expressing his emotions.

While in the midst of his pain hiding inside a cave, this Tears For Fears song was playing in the background:

“Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without, Come on, I’m talking to you, come on”

The Biblical Remix – Samson

When Samson saw one of the women of the Philistines, he told his parents to go get her as a wife for him.  Samson said “She pleases me well”.  I imagine this Michael Jackson song was playing in the background:

“The way you make me feel (The way you make me feel), You really turn me on (You really turn me on, You knock me off my feet…”

Judges 14:1-3 – http://bit.ly/9lYqY1

The Biblical Remix – Job & His Friends

Having lost so much, Job was in much pain & very despondent. Unfortunately his “friends” did not give him any comfort.  In the midst of their “advice”, I am sure these words from DMX were in Job’s mind:

“Y’all gon’ make me lose my mind, Up in Here, Up in Here, Y’all gon’ make me go all out, Up in Here, Up in Here, Y’all gon’ make me act a Fool…”

Job 17:1-2 – http://bit.ly/cgIUO2

The Biblical Remix – The Warrior David Defeats The Philistine Champion Goliath

After David killed Goliath with the sling and stone, he took Goliath’s sword from its sheath.  He then cut off Goliath’s head.  At this moment, I believe this Michael Jackson song was playing in David’s mind:

“Because I’m Bad, I’m Bad, You Know It, You Know I’m Bad, I’m Bad, You Know, And The Whole World Has To Answer Right Now Just To Tell You Once Again, Who’s Bad…”

1 Samuel 17:48-51 – http://bit.ly/a3HSrx

The Biblical Remix – Children of Israel Cross The Red Sea

When Moses raises his staff, the waters part to the left and the right. As the children of Israel cross over on dry land, I hear this soundtrack playing by DJ Unk: “Now Walk It Out. Now Walk It Out. Now Walk It Out. Now Walk It Out. West Side Walk It Out. South Side Walk It Out. East Side Walk It Out. North Side Walk It Out.”

Exodus 14:21-22 – http://bit.ly/a6V34W

The Biblical Remix – King Ahasuerus & Queen Esther

When King Ahasuerus presented his new queen, I believe this Usher song was playing in his mind: “There goes my Baby (ooh girl look at you), You don’t know how good it feels to call you my girl, There goes my Baby, Loving everything you do, Ooh girl look at you”

Esther 2:17-18 – http://bit.ly/acLbdr

The Biblical Remix – King Solomon and The Beloved Bride

Usher’s Lyrics best describe this interaction between King Solomon and The Beloved Bride: “Wanna hear you say Daddy’s home, home for me. And I know you’ve been waiting for this loving all day”
