Every Prison in the Bible: Who Was Locked Up and Why

#Plain&Simple #biblestudy #bibleexplained Every prison in the Bible — from Joseph's pit in Dothan to Paul's rented room in Rome — follows a pattern you cannot unsee once you see it. This video traces every major prisoner in Scripture across thirty centuries: why they were locked up, what happened inside those cells, and what God was doing in each one. The Mosaic Law made no general provision for imprisonment as punishment — which means every prison you encounter in the Old Testament is either foreign or an abuse of power. That single fact reframes the entire story.
