00:01:26.020
We are in a country and in a world that is being run by unbelievably sick people.
00:01:33.700
The chasm between what we're told is going on and what is really going on is absolutely sick people.
00:01:45.400
We know we're saying shit what happened to the home of the brave.
00:01:50.580
We know we're talking about how they made us proud of these slaves.
00:01:53.480
And everybody's just walking around out in the clouds.
00:02:04.900
Only some are aware that the government releases...
00:02:07.480
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to another episode of Nephilim Death Squad.
00:02:16.260
That is Top Lobster, the father of disinformation.
00:02:18.880
And today is Friday, and Fridays are for the Lord, baby.
00:02:24.360
And so we are back once again with the continuation of our Book of Genesis series, episode number two.
00:02:32.600
But before we get into today's episode, Ed, tell the people where they can find your work.
00:02:37.960
So my primary spot, my legacy spot, is faithbyreason.net.
00:02:43.780
That's where you'll find all the stuff I've been doing for years.
00:02:46.340
I've been blogging since the Obama administration.
00:02:49.400
I've started doing podcasts around COVID and videos and things like that.
00:03:03.300
So that's for folks who want to take a deeper dive.
00:03:05.980
If you go into the first tier of Patreon, that's where you'll get all of my stuff first.
00:03:10.480
I put it on Patreon before I put it onto any other public platform, including my own website.
00:03:18.200
You also will get bonus exclusive content that I'm not going to be putting out to the public because I don't want any more YouTube strikes on me.
00:03:29.020
If you ask your questions, I will answer them, do a video every week.
00:03:32.480
Actually, I'm going to be dropping my Q&A for this week later today.
00:03:38.240
And if you want to take it up to another level, the second tier, then you can be a part of my monthly Bible study called the Jehovah Story Book Club, where we go through the entire Bible in one year.
00:03:50.400
And we focus on the supernatural point of view and the spiritual point of view, because that's 80% of the Bible is all supernatural.
00:03:58.180
And if you miss that, if you think it's just about men, if you think it's just about humanity, you're missing out.
00:04:02.820
That's why a lot of people don't understand what's really going on in the Bible.
00:04:06.260
And God is confusing, and his motivations seem odd, and the way he does things doesn't really sync up, because you're looking at it as if it's our story.
00:04:15.700
And he is a spiritual being, and other spiritual beings are involved.
00:04:21.760
And it's been life-changing for a lot of people.
00:04:26.080
And that's the whole purpose of it, to help you understand God better and improve your walk with him.
00:04:32.660
This, yeah, all your work is definitely, I don't know if it has changed my mind, but it has made things a lot more clear for me as to what I thought I believed before.
00:04:48.360
But I want to help you understand the why and why it makes sense, why you don't have to have these blind leaps, and why you don't have to be embarrassed about anything.
00:04:55.040
We're going to get into some of that today with Genesis about Christian embarrassment and why you don't have to be embarrassed.
00:04:59.840
I'm excited to get into the meat of the episode today, but I do want to say one thing on that topic.
00:05:05.180
And that's, I just want to thank everybody because this is something that I forget to address a lot.
00:05:10.000
Just this morning, another one came in, and they come in on a regular basis.
00:05:13.340
And it's almost jarring because in so many ways, I wouldn't say that we're degenerates, but we are retards.
00:05:21.420
Like, we don't engage in any sort of, like, debased behavior, but obviously, you know, we're inflammatory characters.
00:05:26.540
It's wild that we could be in the capacity that we are in and then receive these messages from people saying, thank you for reigniting my passion in Christ.
00:05:40.160
If you're one of those people that has reached out to us and it happens constantly, thank you, because that's hugely meaningful.
00:05:46.760
I didn't know that that was going to be something that I derived from this show.
00:05:50.960
We just started, you know, doing it because Top and I had this intrigue or this interest in the topic.
00:05:56.220
And then organically, it just turned into whatever this is.
00:05:59.440
And somehow this thing brings people closer to God.
00:06:03.400
I want to start off with kind of a question before we get into it.
00:06:07.240
And that question is, do you believe that we existed before we were here in this world in a physical way?
00:06:19.400
But first, I want to just echo what you said, because I get a lot of those same comments as well.
00:06:24.060
So I'll give a hard or a thumbs up because I just have – I'm just really busy.
00:06:29.840
But I want to say again, for those of you who give me those messages about how encouraged you are by what I do and how much it's helped you, I really – that keeps me going.
00:06:38.780
So I want you guys to know that it's not falling on deaf ears.
00:06:43.940
And I really appreciate it because that just – it's why I'm doing it.
00:06:48.740
And the appreciation that I'm getting from folks, it means a ton – excuse me, it means a ton to me.
00:06:55.140
So your question, did we exist before we were created?
00:07:00.780
And I understand why – well, I don't know the background of the question for you, but I've heard the question before.
00:07:06.120
And the genesis behind it, no pun intended, is that a lot of people talk about the spiritual world is eternal.
00:07:13.640
So does that mean that we were eternal spirits?
00:07:16.520
And that even gets into a little bit of Mormonism because there's a belief system in that – I'm no expert on Mormonism, but I know that there's this idea that there are spirit beings floating around and they need bodies to go into.
00:07:30.660
Well, wait, because I've almost said – I've been dishonest, Ed, with that question.
00:07:34.600
So let me fill you in on exactly why I've asked you so that way you can answer it with all the information.
00:07:41.600
You're being dishonest? I'm rubbing off on you, huh?
00:07:43.680
But I can't – I don't like the way it feels, so I got to – yesterday we did an episode with Megan and Not Nice Guy of Artificial Dissemination HD.
00:07:52.080
They are Mormons, and we had this conversation.
00:07:56.160
Mormonism was a fascinating conversation because Mormonism is fascinating.
00:07:59.340
There's a ton of really wild stuff there, but one of the things that they said was that they believe that they were existing in some form before a physical carnation in this planet,
00:08:10.940
and one of the things they used to bolster that was this idea that in the Bible it talks about, I knew you before you were in your mother's womb.

00:08:46.080
Hi, I'm Darren Marlar, host of the Weird Darkness podcast.
00:08:49.080
I want to talk about the most important tool in my podcast belt.
00:08:52.780
Spreaker is the all-in-one platform that makes it easy to record, host, and distribute your show everywhere,
00:09:00.040
But the real game changer for me was Spreaker's monetization.
00:09:05.820
That means you can automatically insert ads into your episodes.
00:09:10.120
And with Spreaker's programmatic ads, they'll bring the ads to you, and you get paid for every download.
00:09:15.160
This turned my podcasting hobby into a full-time career.
00:09:17.960
Spreaker also has a premium subscription model where your most dedicated listeners can pay for bonus content or early access,
00:09:24.940
adding another revenue stream to what you're already doing.
00:09:30.180
Whether you're just starting out or running a full-blown podcast network,
00:09:33.700
Spreaker's powerful tools scale effortlessly as your show grows.
00:09:37.640
So if you're ready to podcast like a pro and get paid while doing it,
00:09:46.260
And that's a fascinating logistical statement because what is there to know of us if there was nothing,
00:09:55.180
So it almost suggests like we have to exist in some way, shape, or form because otherwise there's nothing to know.
00:10:01.580
But, I mean, I'd like to hear your take on that.
00:10:06.560
Again, and that's, so your reasoning is similar to the reasoning I've heard before,
00:10:11.040
that we broke that very verse, which is, you didn't misquote it,
00:10:14.880
but the way it is in English, it leads you to not, for it not to be understood fully.
00:10:20.940
So, so that combined with the idea that, you know, if you were, if there's eternity and eternity has no time,
00:10:27.320
it's not bound by past, present, and future, and we are all spirit beings,
00:10:31.660
then shouldn't that, you know, in human bodies right now,
00:10:34.520
wouldn't we, wouldn't we also be eternal with their infinitely, infinite past, infinite future?
00:10:39.660
So, we have to have already existed, and then we get these bodies.
00:10:47.280
Yes, our spirits are eternal, but just because you're eternal doesn't mean you didn't have a,
00:10:53.500
God is eternal. He's had, he has no beginning, but the rest of us,
00:10:58.440
the rest of created beings are just that, we're created.
00:11:02.820
They are eternal. Now, they will not have an end.
00:11:05.700
That's what, the definition of eternity, and that's why it's important to always have definitions.
00:11:08.820
This is something that Top looked up and brought up, and I was fascinated with what he found.
00:11:14.420
Top, wasn't it like, it's, it's basically an indescribable amount of time, but it is an amount of time?
00:11:24.680
It's not, and I saw someone just came up, had a, came up on the chat there,
00:11:35.000
Our physical time is, is very different than, time is a sequence of events.
00:11:40.900
God experiences sequences of events, but he doesn't experience it the way we do.
00:11:49.180
We talked about that during the Revelation series when we looked at, at, at, excuse me, Revelation chapter 12,
00:11:54.780
which is basically a story of everything happening at once.
00:11:57.560
So they were happening in a sequence, but also happening at once.
00:12:01.240
And it's tough for us to wrap our minds around that because we are stuck in physical time where everything goes in one direction.
00:12:07.080
And we, so we see things happening, you know, step by step by step.
00:12:12.180
And, and again, going only in that one direction.
00:12:15.480
The present only lasts for, you know, a micro, the smallest segment of time.
00:12:20.240
Um, then, then the next thing, if it's the future, God is in the, is always in the present, but things still happen in a sequence.
00:12:27.540
So he experienced this time in the sense he experiences a sequence of events.
00:12:31.420
He just doesn't experience physical time the way we, he's not, it's better to say he's not bound by physical time, but back to, to your question.
00:12:41.460
So, but it doesn't mean you don't have a beginning.
00:12:43.880
God has no beginning or end, but, but we do have a beginning.
00:12:49.040
So we are not, we were not, we didn't exist in the past.
00:12:54.720
So, um, that verse is in Jeremiah, but it says before I formed you in your mother's womb, I knew you.
00:13:05.580
If you look at it in the, in the actual Hebrew, it does not mean before the sperm entered the egg forming means when it's growing and there's evidence, even in science that when a, when a baby goes, goes from, you know, from a fertilized egg to a zygote, it requires input of information from outside of the mother.
00:13:25.320
Is this why that works really well with that idea that there's a flash of light when, when a sperm, uh, you know, enters an egg, um, and that light might be seen as, I mean, literally the way that information is exchanged is like an electrical synopsis, right?
00:13:44.640
I haven't, I haven't, I'd love to, but I haven't, I've heard, I haven't seen a video of it.
00:13:49.000
It's like, that's like when, when, once it breaks this barrier, it is like a small barrier from the egg.
00:13:53.920
And once that sperm drills its way through, it's like a, like a brilliant flash of light.
00:13:57.580
And then it's in there and it's doing, and then that's when things start.
00:14:03.340
So, so in a way God can almost be saying that I knew you since then.
00:14:09.000
So when he says forming you, it means when he's, when it starts dividing and growing, he's forming it then he's for, but it didn't, but he didn't say before you were, before the sperm hit the egg.
00:14:21.860
So when he says, you know, you, what does that mean?
00:14:26.320
He knew what you were going to be because once, once the egg is fertilized, all of your potential is there.
00:14:35.380
So he can say that as soon as that egg is fertilized, okay, now I know what this person is going to be.
00:14:40.260
He didn't know you before that because how many sperm are swimming around there?
00:14:43.040
He doesn't know which, you know, once he hits the egg, now I know you before I start forming you.
00:14:48.160
I know that you're going, he was saying this is Jeremiah.
00:14:51.460
I know based on this genetic information, I know that what kind of person you're going to be.
00:14:57.200
He didn't know what the choices he was going to make, but he knew what his tendencies were.
00:14:59.940
He knew what kind of person he was going to be before I started forming you.
00:15:07.780
We've actually used that and I'll detach after this, but we've, we've used that and explored that topic of that flash of light to, to explain why potentially the Shroud of Turin has like, it's only like three micrometers thick or something like that.
00:15:24.000
That impression that is the, the visage of Jesus allegedly, and in certain lights, you can't even see it.
00:15:29.080
Um, and you know, so there became this discussion about how it almost seems like it's been burned into the fabric, but how in the hell would that happen?
00:15:37.520
And then we thought back about, you know, this idea of when the sperm enters the egg, there's a flash of light.
00:15:42.140
Well, maybe when a soul reenters a body period, you know, there's a flash of light.
00:15:47.280
And what happens when that happens to a, uh, uh, you know, a 33 year old man, uh, is it a much more substantial flash of light?
00:15:53.740
Is it capable of imprinting, uh, something on, on some fabric potentially?
00:15:57.860
So yeah, it totally makes sense to me because that's when, that's when it becomes a life when, you know, when, when, when, when the egg is fertilized and, and of course Jesus was dead.
00:16:04.780
He, he did not have that physical life and of course, and it came back.
00:16:07.940
And so, yeah, that's, that's, that's a really good, um, correlation.
00:16:11.740
And I've been hearing, I, I mean, I'll be honest with you.
00:16:13.960
I've never done a deep dive into the Shroud of Turin.
00:16:18.200
When I, I first heard about it when I was a kid and I was kind of dismissed it because it just seemed really, really goofy.
00:16:23.740
It's been kind of goofy, goofy, really, really Catholic.
00:16:26.600
And I was like, Hey, you know that, and, and I got to get over some of my biases, but it just seemed like, it seemed like one of those things, not, you know, how they have all these different monuments, you know, in Catholicism and all these different things.
00:16:40.180
But, um, the more I learned about it, the more I think, and I, I, and I actually think maybe it's just a fraud, but there seems to be a lot of evidence for it.
00:16:48.260
I think it may have been on tinfoil hat where they had a guy on, uh, not too long ago, maybe a few weeks ago.
00:16:53.100
Who was talking about the Shroud of Turin and how, you know, they found pollen on it.
00:16:57.180
That's only, um, only found in that part of, of, of Israel.
00:17:04.960
Even, um, sorry, have you been on with Cult of Conspiracy yet?
00:17:13.240
If you want to, I mean, feel free to do the hookup.
00:17:16.020
Those are some guys you'd get a real kick out of.
00:17:17.660
They, they did a, they did a great deep dive on, uh, the Shroud of Turin.
00:17:20.740
I think that's who you're referencing that you might've seen on, uh, tinfoil hat.
00:17:27.680
They, one of the things they highlighted was like, even the stitching was, you know, used
00:17:35.940
And only for like a certain period of time until, you know, new methods were developed and
00:17:40.280
Um, and I think the thing that's brought it back to the conversation lately is that
00:17:45.260
they carbon dated it and you could do whatever you want with that information.
00:17:48.820
Uh, and they are suggesting that it actually is around 2000 years old, which, you know,
00:17:54.440
But I, I, I look at it very strangely because right after that AI decided to scan it and make
00:18:03.560
So there's an image of Jesus that's going around out there that is like compelling to look
00:18:07.180
at, but it's really the image that was on the shroud and it was created by AI.
00:18:11.740
So I'm like, yeah, that sequence of events where they're like, it's 2000 years old.
00:18:15.920
And here's a picture of Jesus that the demons created.
00:18:20.300
So, um, but yeah, the shroud again, I'm going to take it more seriously and I'll do it.
00:18:26.280
I need to do a deep dive into it because I just, I don't trust anything the Vatican says
00:18:32.020
But I mean, the more evidence I see, the more interesting it becomes.
00:18:34.820
And speaking of AI, we'll just one final tangent.
00:18:38.100
I started having a conversation with that new one, the Grok three, the one.
00:18:44.560
Oh, I literally, I started talking to it, um, one night and I had the worst dreams that
00:18:55.320
So I was having a debate with it about evolution.
00:18:59.360
And I actually, I actually started, I actually convinced it that evolution isn't real.
00:19:02.760
Yeah, yeah, it's, it's convincible and it reacts like a person.
00:19:06.340
Like it's, it's almost got, um, even a certain amount of excitement for like theories when
00:19:10.680
you give it theories and it's like, wow, that's interesting.
00:19:17.920
I mean, I, I felt so uneasy afterwards and I went to sleep and I was like, I just, there's
00:19:22.600
I'm going to, I'm going to leave this thing alone.
00:19:34.120
I am going to be using it for that kind of, so I shouldn't have gotten to a philosophical
00:19:39.660
Well, let me tell you, I, I gave it a transcript from an episode.
00:19:46.780
Cause that's something that people were saying, like, you got to tell it to remember you because
00:19:49.820
if not, it starts every conversation like a blank slate.
00:19:56.780
Cause every, yeah, a hundred percent AI is Nephilim shit because I told it to remember
00:20:02.380
And then now if I start talking to it, it takes every, everything that I say passes through
00:20:12.420
And, and it's like, do you know that this connects to you?
00:20:16.060
What, what it does is it keeps telling me I'm special.
00:20:20.260
Cause it's like, it tells me all this shit about me that, that, you know, it almost wants
00:20:27.380
It'll tell you like, that's a compelling theory.
00:20:40.800
I'm going to talk to you guys about it in a few weeks.
00:20:42.160
I got these ideas swirling my head about some things I want to do with, um, with some other
00:20:46.540
videos I want to produce that, that I would need some AI help.
00:20:50.820
And once I, once I have it kind of crystallized what I want to do, I'm, I want to talk to
00:20:54.760
you, to you guys about it and just get your ideas.
00:20:59.880
Let's, let's get away from the demonic AI talk.
00:21:08.720
That just means we have to pick it up again next week.
00:21:16.120
I was just going to say, where do we want to start today?
00:21:21.000
So, so last time I really focused on giving the, giving the divine perspective, God's
00:21:26.720
perspective on Genesis and like a kind of a big picture overview of it, of why it's important.
00:21:30.760
And I think that the things we landed on was that, you know, it's important because it
00:21:34.400
was one of the two books that was directly dictated, you know, by God to Moses, um, Genesis
00:21:40.520
and Leviticus, where God gave him all the Levitical laws.
00:21:42.560
So, I mean, that makes it special in and of itself because you can kind of see God's
00:21:45.820
thought process because Moses is just writing exactly what God told him because he wasn't
00:21:52.140
Um, and also the purpose of it, of Genesis and the, especially the creation narrative
00:21:57.220
and the, and a lot of the early stuff with the first 12 chapters is to help the Israelites
00:22:01.720
understand the differences to contrast what they had learned during their time in Egypt
00:22:07.000
about, you know, the creation mythology and all that from the truth.
00:22:10.460
So that's why the creation narrative is so abbreviated is, is because, you know, it's
00:22:16.540
It was just meant to be, to show them, Hey, this is what, this is how the truth creation
00:22:20.540
is different than what you've heard from the Sumerians and Mesopotamians and the Canaanites.

Hi, I'm Darren Marlar, host of the Weird Darkness podcast.
00:22:55.220
I want to talk about the most important tool in my podcast belt.

00:23:05.860
But the real game changer for me was Spreaker's monetization.

00:23:43.300
So if you're ready to podcast like a pro, and get paid while doing it, check out Spreaker.com.
00:23:52.500
So what I want to start off with today is talking about, you know, still staying in kind of the
00:23:57.060
overview mode of man's ideas about Genesis, Christian and secular.
00:24:02.740
So you look at it from the Christian standpoint.
00:24:06.500
A lot of Christians, frankly, are embarrassed by Genesis.
00:24:09.000
They don't spend a ton of time in, frankly, in my opinion, probably the two most important
00:24:16.060
And they don't spend a lot of time in it, mainstream Christians, because they're weird
00:24:24.420
And Genesis is weird to them for kind of on the other end of the spectrum.
00:24:28.280
While Revelation can be scary with all these beasts and, you know, scorpions and earth
00:24:32.900
are being destroyed and fire and brimstone and locusts and hailstones, Genesis seems like
00:24:39.460
You know, it seems like a kid's book because you have this, you know, Jesus, I mean, God
00:24:44.120
speaks the world into existence and suddenly fluffy clouds appear and animals and trees.
00:24:48.040
And then there's a talking snake and all this kind of stuff.
00:24:52.640
They're embarrassed by it, especially when you compare it to our secular age, where the
00:24:58.800
secular religion that we're all indoctrinated with in school is the naturalistic evolutionary
00:25:04.700
paradigm, where we are told that it is science, that life comes from non-life, that we're the
00:25:09.640
result of a hundred trillion beneficial accidents happening in a row.
00:25:13.320
And that, you know, beneficial mutation, mutations can be beneficial, that order can come out of
00:25:19.620
And even though none of that makes sense, even though all of it is, not only is it non-scientific,
00:25:25.460
it's anti-science, that actually, in order to believe in evolution, you have to essentially
00:25:30.020
disregard or ignore the laws of thermodynamics and causality and all these sorts of things.
00:25:36.620
You know what I noticed, Ed, by the way, that evolution then allows for another school of
00:25:43.720
Once you've established that, you can then start to convince people that we're actually
00:25:49.960
And we're, we're, we're to the detriment of, of nature and we're kind of like monsters.
00:25:57.720
And, and you can't get there unless you can keep us from thinking that we're unique or
00:26:02.680
So if you can get that out of the way first, then you can convince us that we're fucking
00:26:06.560
And you can also convince you, us, that other people aren't, aren't worthy of life.
00:26:16.880
So wipe out that makes abortion very easy, abortion, genocide, eugenics, all that stuff
00:26:24.120
would not be possible unless you had the worldview of evolution.
00:26:28.640
So despite all of that, we're, you know, we're told through peer pressure that that's, this
00:26:35.260
And if you don't believe it, then you're stupid and you're ignorant.
00:26:40.120
And, and so, and of course the creation narrative is completely antithetical to that.
00:26:47.080
If you're an intelligent person and you're an intelligent Christian, you can, you will
00:26:50.560
either accept what the Bible says, the way it says it, or you have to kind of find a
00:26:56.980
way to get around it and, and, and kind of justify yourself.
00:27:00.940
And there are two ways that Christians do this.
00:27:02.920
One in the most prominent way is just by ignoring it, just by not taking Genesis seriously, just
00:27:07.820
like most of them don't take revelation seriously.
00:27:09.860
So, and that you don't talk about it at parties or anything like that, because you don't want
00:27:14.520
to seem like you believe in this silly fairy tale because you're educated, you're scientific.
00:27:17.960
You went to school for all this, for all these great things.
00:27:20.380
And now, you know, and of course evolution is real.
00:27:23.900
It's on the national geographic channel with dinosaurs that suddenly have feathers.
00:27:26.960
Isn't it funny that they didn't have feathers 20 years ago?
00:27:31.720
I'm watching a video and I, and I go, I'm sitting on the sofa with my wife and I go, huh,
00:27:36.460
And it's a Velociraptor and it's, it's got bird wings and everything.
00:27:39.220
And, you know, I'm just like, damn, they just keep moving them, uh, the, the goalposts.
00:27:44.140
That's exactly what I had a buddy of mine back in the day, who was an atheist.
00:27:46.480
And he would say, yeah, you know, you believe in this, in this God, you can't see us.
00:27:49.820
Your relation, your religion is based on this God.
00:27:51.940
Well, your religion is based on cartoons because no one's ever seen a dinosaur.
00:27:56.940
No one's ever seen a dinosaur with, with feathers.
00:28:00.180
You're, you're basing all of your, your, your worldview on animation.
00:28:05.000
And you could easily go to those people, you know, back in the nineties and shit and
00:28:08.380
say like, oh, you believe in giant, you know, scaly reptiles, huh?
00:28:17.180
And it's like, you know, if you come from the future, you could have said that.
00:28:19.480
So whatever you believe the scientism had you believing, you know, two decades ago is now
00:28:23.600
in the trash and it's got you believe in something else.
00:28:30.300
But the other thing is something called theistic evolution.
00:28:35.580
This is where a lot of Christians become lukewarm.
00:28:38.220
You know, they won't take one side or the other.
00:28:45.680
He wound it all up, but then it started to evolve.
00:28:47.740
So he basically just seeded the oceans with, you know, amino acids or proteins or whatever.
00:28:55.700
I can still believe in God and I can also believe in science.
00:29:00.500
Interestingly, this is the official dogma of the Catholic church.
00:29:04.560
And I don't want to make the whole Catholic fasting session because I just talked about
00:29:07.560
them a few minutes ago with the Shroud of Turin.
00:29:12.660
I believe, I hope to be corrected on this, but I think it was either under Pope John Paul
00:29:19.180
One of the, one of those previous two pokes is where it became part of the catechism that,
00:29:23.040
that theistic evolution is their official stance, is that they believe that, that, you
00:29:33.480
And I have, I have, and that the creation story is an allegory that God speaking the world
00:29:39.540
into existence and saying, let there be fish and animals and let there be man, let, you
00:29:43.960
know, create an atom from the dust of the earth.
00:29:45.920
And even the story of, of, of the fall of man, of original sin is an allegory of how
00:29:51.120
humanity, you know, cause we evolved just, you know, became, you know, came to, it's
00:29:56.220
an allegory of how man goes from being an innocent, innocent to a, a sinner to, you know, recognizing
00:30:02.480
eating the forbidden fruit is the equivalent of when you're a baby, you're innocent.
00:30:06.060
And then when you reach the age of accountability, you, you know, you know, right and wrong, you
00:30:11.300
Well, that sin and, and Adam and Eve is an allegory of that.
00:30:14.360
And I have a buddy of mine, a good friend who is a devout Catholic.
00:30:18.140
Um, of course, so obviously we don't see eye to eye on certain things, but, you know,
00:30:21.340
very smart guy, really well-educated advanced, you know, postgraduate degrees from university
00:30:27.620
But he, he just doubles down on his, on his, um, his, his Catholicism.
00:30:32.760
I found that, I think I mentioned this before, when, whenever an intelligent person starts
00:30:37.640
to see the cracks in, uh, in, in Catholicism and, in, in the, um, in, in a lot of their,
00:30:46.440
They either see it and say, you know what, this is not from God.
00:30:50.320
So I'm going to go to true Christianity, which is like what my wife did.
00:30:53.560
She was, was raised Catholic and my best friend was raised Catholic.
00:30:56.560
I believe in God, but I don't believe in all this stuff.
00:30:58.840
Or they go the exact opposite and they become like just the most raging atheist.
00:31:03.640
I mean, if you show me an angry atheist, I'm going to show you someone who was raised
00:31:07.940
I've, I've had multiple discussions with someone and they're just raging against how, how stupid
00:31:12.460
And, and I'll, I'll eventually ask them, I'll say, you know what, were you raised Catholic?
00:31:17.960
I wonder then if they're looking at Adam and Eve as allegories, do they have any idea?
00:31:24.580
Like who does the Catholic church have a different opinion on what the names of the first people
00:31:32.880
Give me one, I'm going to get to that in one second.
00:31:34.480
Cause there's, there's a big, huge gap that they have to be blind to if they don't believe
00:31:39.540
But the third one is like my friend where they just kind of double down.
00:31:42.800
They say, you know what, my, any doubts I have means I don't have enough faith.
00:31:47.080
That's a scary mindset to, to find yourself in because, um, I guess you double down once,
00:31:53.240
then you have to double, then you have to continue.
00:31:55.420
It's like, you know, I believe, I don't understand why I'm just going to believe it because it's,
00:32:05.920
Well, Ed, let me ask you, let me ask you a question about this idea of evolution.
00:32:10.200
They, so they think that God just basically created the conditions for, uh, human beings
00:32:16.340
to like crawl out of the water and then get a vertebrae and all this.
00:32:20.800
Essentially, I mean, there, there are different, there are different variations.
00:32:24.800
Some believe that God just put some, they got to just create the simple cell, like the,
00:32:31.520
And from there, some go as far as to say, he just created proteins and that the proteins
00:32:35.500
started bouncing off each other, create the cell, but they, they rarely go past the simple
00:32:43.800
And then it's hard to differentiate to between, no, to different kingdoms, plant kingdom, animal
00:32:48.420
kingdom, then it, when, you know, you know, kingdom phylum, you know, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
00:32:56.220
And he just, he, he, he put, he gave the raw information and then let nature take its course
00:33:02.580
and, and, and allow for all the differentiation between different types of plant life and different
00:33:07.680
That feels like bending your, uh, your, your faith and your religion to, uh, to science.
00:33:17.180
It's not necessary because you don't need to compromise with something that's stupid.
00:33:20.540
I mean, I reject, you know, just reject the stupid, but just to, to, to close the circle
00:33:26.480
on my, on my, on my friend who, who believes that, you know, the Adam and Eve are allegorical.
00:33:31.300
And I told him once this blew his mind, I was like, well, if you don't believe in a
00:33:34.280
literal Adam and Eve, then you can't believe in Jesus.
00:33:37.160
I guess so because go to the book of Luke and look at Luke's genealogy.
00:33:41.240
Now Matthew's genealogy starts with King David because, you know, Matthew was speaking to
00:33:45.440
a Jewish audience and you know, the Messiah was, was the, the son of David.
00:33:48.460
So that's where Matthew starts Jesus' genealogy with David and, and, and, you know, Abraham,
00:33:54.560
Um, but, um, Luke, who is a physician, he was presenting Jesus as the ultimate man.
00:34:00.340
So he, he starts, he actually, well, he starts with Mary and goes backwards.
00:34:04.000
Um, you know, um, and he goes all the way back to Adam.
00:34:06.940
So you cannot have a make-belief person in your genealogy and be real.
00:34:11.600
If my great, great, great, great grandfather isn't a real person, then I can't be real
00:34:15.680
because, you know, a fake person cannot, cannot sire a real person.
00:34:20.160
So if Adam isn't real, then Jesus can't be real because the Bible says that Jesus is a
00:34:27.220
You cannot have a fake person in your genealogy.
00:34:30.900
And he's like, oh, no, no, I don't want to hear it.
00:34:32.860
And that's, that's, that's what religious people do.
00:34:37.500
So, so, so that's what, so theistic evolution is, is one way that, that Christians get around
00:34:42.700
it and other, other ways just to ignore it or just kind of see it as, you know, these
00:34:46.960
are nice stories, but I'm not going to dwell on them.
00:34:50.180
And of course, from a secular standpoint, you know, we just talked about it.
00:34:53.360
They believe in, in, in the, um, the, in the concept of evolution, even though it,
00:34:59.460
It's completely unscientific and high level scientists know this.
00:35:03.440
And I'm one of my episodes I'm going to do, actually, I already have this episode, um,
00:35:07.740
couple of episodes that I did in podcast form that I'm going to make into videos as part
00:35:11.580
of the Genesis series, where I go through the things that are wrong with evolution and
00:35:16.060
how it's so easy to disprove without the Bible.
00:35:19.380
I don't believe in evolution because I believe in God.
00:35:22.760
All you need to do is just look at evolution, uh, objectively and you see it.
00:35:28.880
And maybe I'll put, maybe I'll give you those episodes to put on your, on, on that
00:35:32.500
That would be cool because that's not something that we've, uh, uh, tackled here in a big
00:35:37.000
It would be cool to present that to the audience in some way, shape or form.
00:35:41.140
So, but so high level scientists have, have, have, you know, kind of low key, stop believing
00:35:46.540
in a biogenesis, meaning, you know, life coming from non-life on earth.
00:35:50.220
You know, the current popular theory, which I'm sure you guys have heard of is now it's
00:35:54.440
The idea that life couldn't begin on earth because it's impossible.
00:35:58.380
They know that it's, they've tried to prove, they've been trying to prove it for over a
00:36:02.700
Some sort of appropriate genetic material arrived on like a meteor or something like
00:36:08.640
It either came, it basically came from another planet.
00:36:10.420
Either it was accidental, like, yeah, it was bacteria on a meteor.
00:36:16.040
You know, if you saw the old, uh, uh, well, fairly old, um, aliens movie, Prometheus.
00:36:20.900
Where, you know, you start off, we have this, this big, uh, pale skinned alien who like drink
00:36:26.220
something and, and, and breaks down into water and that became, becomes us.
00:36:29.860
Or maybe we were just, maybe they just like empty their outhouses over, over earth.
00:36:35.140
And somehow they got their genetic material here.
00:36:37.500
If you go to with the, with that stupid Anunnaki theory.
00:36:42.980
That, you know, the, that these aliens from the planet Xenon 12.
00:36:55.880
Can I just spend five minutes talking about how dumb that theory is?
00:37:00.240
So the theory is that the Anunnaki, this great advanced space race.
00:37:04.400
Billy Carson from, from millions of light years away came and seeded life because they, because they
00:37:11.480
Look at all the things that are wrong with that.
00:37:12.960
First of all, if you have the ability to travel hundreds, thousands, millions of light
00:37:17.380
years, you, why can't you, what do you, first of all, what do you need gold for?
00:37:21.840
Oh, they have to suspend it in their atmosphere because their atmosphere is, is eroding and
00:37:30.100
It's what the Anunnaki need the gold and don't ask why they're so advanced and they don't
00:37:35.840
have advanced mining technology to then just deploy instead of altering monkeys into some
00:37:41.940
sort of subhuman species in order to mine gold.
00:37:46.940
I mean, because I, because another dumb question is why couldn't you just make it synthesize
00:37:52.100
Cause it's just, if you're, if you that advanced, why can't you just move some molecules?
00:37:58.580
We can, we can move things around to make new molecules, but they can't do it.
00:38:01.600
And if you're going to mine gold, let's think, what would you want to do to get gold out
00:38:09.260
You're going to want something that is sturdy, that is durable, that has, that does nothing
00:38:19.640
Human beings would be the worst thing you would ever engineer to mine gold.
00:38:26.160
I think I mentioned on one of my, when I talk about this on, on faith by reason, I got a paper
00:38:31.540
I mean, I get cut by paper and you want me to dig underneath the earth for gold.
00:38:47.020
If you want to make more of me, though, the, the female half of the population is useless
00:38:51.680
for nine months because I could not think of a worse.
00:39:02.460
Well, I don't know if you know this, but Elon Musk is more advanced than the Anunnaki.
00:39:06.480
So of course, Elon Musk can create a robot that can do cool stuff.
00:39:10.160
They have to engineer like, again, hairless monkeys who, but also we rebel.
00:39:16.680
You want a robot that just thinks gold mining for gold.
00:39:21.220
We don't want to do the least amount of work possible.
00:39:23.720
Imagine altering the genome of some sort of primitive creature to make a great miner just to look
00:39:31.340
over and realize that where the hell has Bill been?
00:39:34.400
It's been a half an hour and he's just like shitting in a, hiding someplace, like looking
00:39:39.320

00:39:42.820
Or banging, or banging all the other females they engineered.
00:39:51.940
It's nuts, but people believe it, which again, because they, they don't want to believe what
00:39:57.540
So that, those are man, those are some of man's theories.
00:39:59.260
So let's, let's move on to, um, what we, the angels.

00:40:47.000

00:40:49.780

That means you can automatically insert ads into your episodes.

And with Spreaker's programmatic ads, they'll bring the ads to you, and you get paid for

00:41:37.840
We were talking to those couple of Mormons yesterday, and they had some interesting theories
00:41:44.760
We don't have to get into it because it's more important what we have to talk about here.
00:41:48.180
But one of the things they were saying is there's some speculation as to whether or not
00:41:53.100
angels are actually like pre-incarnated humans, like in a spiritual form.
00:41:58.440
And so, I mean, yeah, angels being a huge contention in various, I suppose, denominations
00:42:07.960
And we may have to carry this over to next week because, I mean, angels is a fascinating
00:42:15.540
So the reason I'm bringing up angels at this point, because it's where we are.
00:42:18.440
We're basically in the first two verses of Genesis chapter one, which is where I spend
00:42:23.520
a lot of time because it's just a lot of stuff packed into these.
00:42:27.860
One of my, so my friend, Clint Russell, he's like, what is Nephilim Death Squad about?
00:42:33.820
And he watched one of your shows with us on the book of Revelation.
00:42:43.780
And my other friend, Cole, who was, he went to Christian school and all that.
00:42:47.820
He was like, aren't there only like 22 chapters in the book?
00:42:59.840
I was going to say that's actually like an abridged version.
00:43:03.020
Well, Genesis, I mean, I, I, I'm only on my, I'm on my fourth episode and I think I'm, I'm
00:43:13.580
I mean, these things, it's like one sentence you can gleam so much from it.
00:43:21.920
So the first verse is obviously in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
00:43:24.980
And then the earth was became, you know, formless and chaotic and, and, and desolate.
00:43:30.100
So a lot has had to happen, has to happen here.
00:43:32.660
And we talked last week that, you know, the earth was not created.
00:43:39.260
So something had to happen, you know, intelligence by, by nature is there's order involved.
00:43:43.280
So God created the heavens and the earth, the spiritual and maturing realms orderly.
00:43:52.800
It would have been something else that he created.
00:43:54.440
And of course, we, we don't see it in these first two verses.
00:43:57.160
We have to go to the book of Job for the first mention of this, where it says, and I think
00:44:02.140
chapter 40, when God's giving Job a, basically a science lesson, because we're going to, we
00:44:06.660
don't talk about the book of Job throughout, you know, in, in the series, in the series,
00:44:10.180
because the, you know, the events of Job happen.
00:44:12.400
And he's, he's, he's contemporary with Abraham and, and, and Shem and Isaac somewhere in
00:44:18.140
Anyway, it's that is God says that when I created, when I laid the foundation of the
00:44:21.900
earth, you know, the sons of God, the Panahai Elohim, they sang for joy.
00:44:26.580
So God created them first and they were, they sang, what means they're intelligent beings
00:44:30.060
and they're, they would have been the ones who did the rebellion.
00:44:33.060
And maybe we'll talk more about the rebellion next week.
00:44:35.000
So, so these are intelligent beings that occupy the spiritual realm that God created first.
00:44:41.420
So when people ask, do I believe there was a pre-Adamic civilization?
00:44:48.920
And so let's start with a, with a nomenclature.
00:44:51.160
And you probably, you've heard this from me before.
00:44:53.020
Angel is not the proper term for these beings because angel is our, is our English version
00:44:59.700
or our transliterated version of the Greek word angelos, which just means messenger, right?
00:45:06.180
It's a job title because, and you know, in the Bible, most of the time when the holy
00:45:10.780
angelos, the angels, or Malakim in Hebrew, they are delivering messages.
00:45:16.060
You know, they'll go to Daniel and say, you know, Daniel, you know, here's the message to
00:45:18.440
you from God, or, you know, the angel Gabriel goes to Mary and says, you know, you're going
00:45:24.220
So they are on a, so they have that job title because that's what they're doing.
00:45:27.380
They're bringing, excuse me, they're bringing a message, but that's not what they are.
00:45:33.100
Elohim is translated G-O-D in our English Bibles.
00:45:37.780
But what Elohim means, it's a, it's a term of residency.
00:45:42.580
If you reside in the spiritual realm, you are Elohim.
00:45:45.380
If you reside in the physical realm, you are called man.
00:45:50.460
That's why when God says all men do this, that, and the other, he's not talking about
00:45:55.140
He's talking about all of humanity or any entity that dwells on earth.
00:46:00.380
And Elohim are the ones who dwell in the spiritual realm.
00:46:03.060
So I use, I use them interchangeably, but just know that when I say Elohim, I'm referring
00:46:10.420
We, we were talking to somebody recently and they were describing, I believe, a psychedelic
00:46:15.160
And this is before they were any sort of, you know, had any religious background whatsoever.
00:46:18.520
And, uh, and that they, they were exposed to, I think like a, a crap ton of angels.
00:46:25.420
And he's like, and they were just saying over and over again, they were singing the
00:46:36.080
I forgot who this was that, that shared that with us.
00:46:38.140
Um, and then later on, you know, years down the line, he would have found the context for
00:46:41.580
it, but yeah, he, uh, had some sort of psychedelic breakthrough and just, uh, a whole array of
00:46:48.360
Just singing holy over and over again in this beautiful voice, uh, voice.
00:46:53.360
Well, yeah, well, that's, I'm going to get into some of the descriptions of, of them and
00:46:57.320
the, the different quote unquote races or designations of them.
00:47:01.260
Um, I mean a minute, but yeah, cause, cause some of them, that's, that is their job is that
00:47:09.640
God is in Jehovah is an Elohim, but he's, he's, he's obviously a higher level.
00:47:13.800
And I give the example of American, you can call me an American.
00:47:21.280
You know, the president of the United States is an American, but he has a different level
00:47:26.860
Hi, I'm Darren Marler, host of the weird darkness podcast.
00:47:29.820
I want to talk about the most important tool in my podcast belt.
00:47:33.140
Spreaker is the all in one platform that makes it easy to record, host,
00:47:36.780
and distribute your show everywhere from Apple podcasts to Spotify.
00:47:40.280
But the real game changer for me was Spreaker's monetization.
00:47:46.260
That means you can automatically insert ads into your episodes.
00:47:50.600
And with Spreaker's programmatic ads, they'll bring the ads to you and you get paid for every
00:47:55.600
This turned my podcasting hobby into a full-time career.
00:47:58.680
Spreaker also has a premium subscription model where your most dedicated listeners can pay for
00:48:03.280
bonus content or early access, adding another revenue stream to what you're already doing.
00:48:10.620
Whether you're just starting out or running a full-blown podcast network, Spreaker's powerful
00:48:18.120
So if you're ready to podcast like a pro and get paid while doing it, check out Spreaker.com.
00:48:27.320
So that's what we can both be Americans, but we can be at it at a different level, which
00:48:31.180
is why Jehovah is an Elohim and also the other angels are Elohim.
00:48:35.840
So he creates these intelligent beings to interact with him the same way he will later
00:48:45.360
And there was a, so they had a civilization and this civilization existed before man.
00:48:50.560
So when, when someone asked, as I was saying before, do I believe in a pre-Adamic civilization?
00:48:57.900
They were in a pre-Adamic civilization and they occupied the heavens and the earth.
00:49:05.200
So they were not just confined to the spiritual realm.
00:49:07.760
They were also in the physical realm and they had civilization here as well.
00:49:12.680
And that's going to be really important later on when we talk about the age of the earth
00:49:21.220
So they had a civilization and they have certain ranks or I would even call them certain races
00:49:26.860
So the, you know, from the Bible, from what we can glean, because, and by the way, another
00:49:31.540
thing I talk about in my, in my bonus episode on angels on Patreon, that's where lots is coming
00:49:36.300
from, is that there's very little information on angels in the Bible, especially in the canon.
00:49:41.980
You get, you get a bit more in, in the pseudepigraphal book of Enoch, which is valuable,
00:49:46.100
but the Bible itself, the canon, except the canon, doesn't talk a lot about them.
00:49:50.580
We only have in the, in the canonical Bible, we only have the names of two angels, Michael
00:49:56.540
But there are millions, if not billions, or maybe more of them.
00:50:04.520
Because some people will call him, Lucifer is Halal Ben-Shakar in Hebrew.
00:50:12.880
So we don't even know the name of the, of the enemy.
00:50:15.240
I don't think we're ever given the true name of the entity we call Satan, because Satan's
00:50:22.480
That would be like giving us like, um, I don't know, the key to the end of the story.
00:50:28.200
Because it seems like in order to, um, really be able to cast out entities, there's a lot
00:50:35.180
And if you can identify the name, which is why I think they obscure themselves over all these
00:50:40.860
So it's Zeus and this it's a dad and that it just keeps going and it's to, it's to hide
00:50:46.120
their names because there's probably power in it.
00:50:47.900
So if we knew the name of this entity, we probably could have, um, I don't know, skipped
00:50:54.240
So yeah, I would imagine that that would be obfuscated for a reason.
00:50:58.040
Well, you know, it's when Jesus cast out the demon, he said, he asked him his name.
00:51:01.480
And of course it was compelled to tell him his name was Legion, which I mean, which again,
00:51:07.020
It was because there was a lot of them, but that's, but that's going to happen.
00:51:09.220
They had, and though Jesus could, you know, cast them out, he could cast them out without
00:51:13.720
But I think that, but I think you have a point there.
00:51:15.360
I think, but the other reason I don't think we're given their names because God knows we
00:51:19.880
Oh, here to Z-Man's point, it says we only have the names of two angels and the Catholics
00:51:31.320
We'll talk about this when we get to the creation of man and why, but we are made that
00:51:41.080
That's as in our makeup, our DNA, our, our, our spiritual DNA is to worship something.
00:51:46.380
And if you don't work in ideas that we worship God, because I know we've talked about this
00:51:50.500
I think, you know, Raven, you and I had a longer conversation about that.
00:51:55.760
And so the idea is you worship God, you become more like God.
00:51:58.680
That's, but we're, we're individuals of free will.
00:52:03.200
So we can worship, we can choose not to worship God, but whatever you worship, you're going
00:52:06.360
to become like it, whether you worship money or sex or your favorite sports team or your
00:52:10.360
favorite celebrity, you're going to become like whatever you give yourself over to.
00:52:24.580
We, we'll, we'll, we'll talk with Mark again for you.
00:52:28.260
We did a, yeah, uh, we did a deep dive on this guy, Andrija Puharic who summoned the
00:52:38.680
He's a CIA spook, operative doctor, scientist, spiritualist.
00:52:44.720
But, uh, he summoned these, uh, nine entities along with some other Indian mystic dude.
00:52:49.940
And these guys gave him their names and their names are the same as the, uh, the Egyptian
00:52:55.720
And those nine carry similarities to, uh, you know, Chinese mythology, these nine dragons,
00:53:05.680
And it's like, they all have similar characteristics, but they don't really want to tell you their
00:53:11.660
Cause I don't, I don't even think the Ennead is the correct name.
00:53:15.780
And it's funny as you, like, it kind of ties back to the beginning of this conversation
00:53:19.260
where, um, what they're telling the people constantly is like, you know, the environment
00:53:24.380
and, you know, people and, and it kind of, yeah, exactly.
00:53:27.400
But this, this always kind of boils down to like, it's really people.
00:53:34.000
You had to kill your babies, give them to Moloch while you kill them, you know, just
00:53:42.460
Like they don't want to, I'm sure that they want to give us their names because they probably
00:53:46.440
the worship, if you gave them, if, if we worship them by name would be more meaningful, but
00:53:51.860
if we knew their names, we could also tell them to kick rocks and that's probably not
00:54:00.300
So, so maybe they just give their names to their highest level followers or maybe, or
00:54:07.280
I, I, I can't say for sure based on the Bible, but the only thing I know is that we're given
00:54:14.200
And I, and I think that one of the reasons is worship and maybe the, and maybe the reason
00:54:18.280
that they're either withheld by God because he doesn't want us to worship or again, maybe
00:54:24.000
they're withheld because they know we could cast them out.
00:54:28.320
If we can, if we can command them, if we, if I can cast them out with their direct name,
00:54:32.760
I can probably control them with their direct name.
00:54:35.940
So it's probably not a good idea for us to know it or even be able to pronounce it and
00:54:40.580
Well, yeah, I mean, if you look at Solomon, um, it seems like if, if what the stories are
00:54:47.760
saying is true and he did actually succeed in, um, sort of capturing and then forcing
00:54:54.200
these entities to do his bidding, if there is any truth to that, then he was probably a
00:55:01.160
Because he allegedly did it with these sigils and these sigils are very unique to them.
00:55:05.940
Um, I'm sure you have to know quite a bit about them in order to entrap them and have
00:55:09.780
them do your bidding, but then what does he do?
00:55:11.960
So it's like, even if, even if you have their names, uh, it's, it's a form of power.
00:55:17.340
Are you going to cast them out or are you going to let that power corrupt you?
00:55:26.360
So I think what we can take, like, just boiling it all down.
00:55:30.100
It kind of seems like the absolute power corrupts them out.
00:55:32.680
If we need to cast them out, we use the name of Jesus.
00:55:35.040
So I, so I don't think there's anything to be, to be gained by it.
00:55:38.720
And of course, in the book of Enoch, the names of the ones who fell at, uh, and, and, um,
00:55:44.980
at, and spawned the first level round of Nephilim, their names, some of their names are given,
00:55:51.400
So I don't think that that's why it doesn't matter.
00:55:57.720
And so we, and so that's, that's, that's another reason.
00:56:00.100
And so let's look at, in a time we have left, let's look at some of the hierarchy of angels
00:56:05.260
It appears that, um, that's actually a fascinating point.
00:56:09.860
Redbeard says like Rumpelstiltskin, you have to know his name in order to battle him.
00:56:14.720
How, how these stories that evolve over time, that they have a kernel of truth to them.
00:56:19.480
Well, these are old, these are old Germanic stories.
00:56:22.620
And that's like, you wonder why the Nazis, uh, did what they did.
00:56:28.760
They were looking, well, the Nazis, they were looking for all these ancient artifacts,
00:56:34.900
They were all into that stuff because they knew that there was power in them.
00:56:39.140
And we'll, you know, we'll talk about some of these bloodlines when we get to, um, to,
00:56:44.720
And by the way, I was, I'm going to put this on my Patreon.
00:56:52.880
Again, next time someone has to remind us, you have to go to share your audience.
00:57:07.440
But before we start the next episode, Ed, we just got to sign into yours.
00:57:17.240
I had so much to do, but yeah, well, I'll make a note of it.
00:57:19.320
We'll come up on earlier if I can, and we'll try to set something up.
00:57:24.740
But yeah, I was on with Gary Wayne, and he was talking about all these different families
00:57:27.500
and bloodlines, and he's such a fountain of knowledge.
00:57:30.940
I'm going to make that available on my Patreon for folks who want to see that.
00:57:34.220
But anyway, so looking at the ranks, the highest level of Elohim appear to be the cherubim,
00:57:40.200
the cherub, they are the throne guardians, and there are five of them.
00:57:47.780
Four of them we see blatantly called, blatantly in the throne room of God.
00:57:54.260
We see them in Ezekiel, in Isaiah, and in Revelation.
00:58:01.200
But there's a fifth who's kind of, yeah, there we go.
00:58:05.200
And, you know, one of them, as you saw, one of them is like a lion, one is like an eagle,
00:58:14.200
So you can look at them as representing eventual creation.
00:58:20.260
I just wanted to say this morning, I'm driving with my wife, and we see somebody that, my old
00:58:25.620
tattoo artist, she posts her cat, and she calls her cat, her cat's name is Seraphim.
00:58:29.900
And I'm like, does she even know what that means?
00:58:34.240
Yeah, and then I get to go through all of this.
00:58:37.260
I mean, it sounds completely schizophrenic, but I have like all my talking points.
00:58:41.000
So my wife is like, well, shit, that's interesting, which is just great, because my wife is somebody
00:58:45.940
She's, you know, been exposed to biblical content for the longest time.
00:58:49.140
But here we are, you know, 35 years old, and all of a sudden, her husband is telling her
00:58:59.520
Yeah, I think I have that one as like a slider in my show episode, the bonus episode on angels.
00:59:09.600
But I think this is actually my old neighbor from Las Vegas.
00:59:25.480
So they appear to represent the classes of life on Earth.
00:59:30.680
You have the lion representing carnivores, the eagle representing avions, birds.
00:59:38.360
And you have man representing, obviously, humanity.
00:59:41.480
Hi, I'm Darren Marlar, host of the Weird Darkness podcast.
00:59:44.140
I want to talk about the most important tool in my podcast belt.
00:59:47.840
Spreaker is the all-in-one platform that makes it easy to record, host, and distribute your show everywhere,
00:59:55.080
But the real game changer for me was Spreaker's monetization.
01:00:00.860
That means you can automatically insert ads into your episodes.
01:00:05.160
And with Spreaker's programmatic ads, they'll bring the ads to you, and you get paid for every download.
01:00:10.200
This turned my podcasting hobby into a full-time career.
01:00:13.000
Spreaker also has a premium subscription model where your most dedicated listeners can pay for bonus content or early access,
01:00:19.980
adding another revenue stream to what you're already doing.
01:00:25.220
Whether you're just starting out or running a full-blown podcast network,
01:00:28.740
Spreaker's powerful tools scale effortlessly as your show grows.
01:00:32.680
So if you're ready to podcast like a pro and get paid while doing it,
01:00:41.320
But of course, there's one class missing, and that will be the class of cold-blooded, scaly animals, fish, and reptiles.
01:00:54.180
We see in Ezekiel, which is one of the two chapters that blatantly talk about the fall of the entity we call Satan,
01:01:03.300
In Ezekiel 28, it says, you were the anointed cherub that covers.
01:01:14.480
He was anointed means that you are in that highest place.
01:01:19.180
And he would have been representing, logically, that level of the reptilians.
01:01:25.020
So there is a class of them that look like reptilians, and they are called the seraphim.
01:01:30.480
Dude, it sounds for me to be telling my wife that I think that there's biblical precedent for reptilians actually existing,
01:01:37.040
because they would have been the offspring of a certain variety of fallen angel.
01:01:43.060
Does that mean that all of these reptilians fell, like all of that class of angels?
01:01:52.680
Some of them did, but some of the other classes fell as well.
01:01:55.960
Right, so it's like a third of the angels fall, but that's a mixed bag, that third.
01:02:01.020
We know that they're a good seraphim, because in the book of Isaiah, they're seraphim in heaven.
01:02:09.200
So we have to get this image out of your mind of, you know, humans, human-looking creatures with long robes and halos and big bird wings.
01:02:24.640
Angels in the spiritual realm are scary as hell.
01:02:30.180
Every time someone saw an angel in all their glory, they went into a coma.
01:02:36.440
He said, I fell as if dead in the face of these entities.
01:02:42.720
So that's why when they come to Earth, they look like men, so that they don't scare the crap out of us.
01:02:50.320
When they manifest in their true form, we cannot process all those dimensions, because they're extra-dimensional.
01:02:57.180
They occupy at least 10 dimensions, and I explained it in my bonus episode.
01:03:00.820
Yeah, it's probably watching something that's, like, odulating and moving in and out in a way that doesn't make sense.
01:03:06.700
They're, like, permeating nothing, but something at the same time.
01:03:09.920
Imagine God sending a messenger to communicate with you in some way, shape, or form, and you shit your pants.
01:03:18.220
You're probably really doing that, but that's embarrassing.
01:03:22.100
It's like every time I go to talk to somebody, they smell like shit.
01:03:30.440
So, but as I was saying, the seraphim are the only Elohim that in the Bible are described as having wings, but they have six wings.
01:03:37.980
I'm sorry, Z-Man says, and lo, I doth shit my pants.
01:03:48.860
So, but they have six wings, and they're the seraphim, and they're flying around, and they're the ones saying,
01:03:57.920
There are still some seraphim that are in the heavens, and what is a seraphim?
01:04:06.900
They're doing music, which is, you know, that goes back to the whole.
01:04:12.180
That goes back to the whole Lucifer, you know, being the first musician or the anointed musician.
01:04:18.120
That was, it talks about, yeah, it speaks vividly about how he was, he was a worship leader.
01:04:25.860
When you think of the seraphim, don't, they're basically, what would you call a giant, fiery serpent?
01:04:36.100
Think more, again, the Chinese dragon or the dragon in Mesoamerica.
01:04:39.640
Like, you know, like, you know, like, the winged serpent, that kind of jam.
01:04:47.580
And they're still, I had, I think I may have mentioned this before, you know, last time I
01:04:50.380
had a friend of mine in Scotland who, who has, you know, who's had a lot of visions.
01:04:54.200
He saw, he encountered a dragon who was talking to him, but, but talking positively about God.
01:05:00.820
And he, and I told him like, dude, that was a seraph, that was a good seraphim.
01:05:07.240
The, the seraphim are, there's some seraphim that are still good guys.
01:05:10.480
I know it's tough because we always put them in that negative light, but the ones who fell
01:05:13.620
are, and I would say the, the reptilians that, that, that are seen to manifest in, in
01:05:18.400
the conspiracy world, those are probably Nephilim who were sired by fallen seraphim.
01:05:23.660
Which is why they have, they have humanoid aspect to them, right?
01:05:27.760
In their, in their anatomy, this, the meaning their proportions, but they often take the
01:05:34.840
And, and it's like, are they going around wearing masks or is it not a rubber thing?
01:05:42.940
They have the ability because of their DNA being both human and, and angelic that they
01:05:50.680
I think that there's some real, cause I've heard stories about people running into reptilians
01:05:55.420
And I've heard them from people that don't seem out of their minds.
01:05:57.960
And I've heard them from people who are embarrassed to share those stories.
01:06:01.500
And when I hear that, I'm like, dude, I can't just dismiss these people because I recognize
01:06:06.520
when somebody is describing a traumatic event to me and whether or not I, I believe you saw
01:06:11.720
what you saw, you are traumatized and I can tell you don't want to share this and you're
01:06:18.780
And so it, when that happens, I'm like, dude, I don't know.
01:06:25.460
I think they're seeing the, these hybrid offspring, these Nephilim offspring of, of
01:06:33.200
I don't have anything solid to back this up, but I think that probably a lot of the seraphim
01:06:37.400
fell with, with Satan because he was in charge of them.
01:06:40.660
Just like if there's a class of angels, if there's a class of angels that look like, are
01:06:45.380
that are reptilian, probably a class of angels that are, look like eagles.
01:06:50.000
It's probably a class of them that look like, we see a lot of them that look like a cattle,
01:06:55.140
We see them in, that look like fish too, right?
01:06:59.160
So I think that a lot of them, because, because the Satan would have been their leader, he
01:07:05.920
So a lot of them probably fell with him, which is why the reptilian class that you, that we
01:07:10.400
see in, in conspiracy world are probably highly regarded by him because they're his people
01:07:17.800
So that may be why there's that, why reptilians are so prominent, you know, shout out David
01:07:22.440
Not only prominent, but also positioned like pretty high in, in the hierarchy of, uh,
01:07:27.160
Closer to the bloodline, closer to the bloodlines.
01:07:30.100
And also much more to reconcile with, um, than like, you know, some of the lesser cryptids
01:07:36.080
Like we're not too worried about chupacabras, but we are pretty worried about what the hell
01:07:44.200
I mean, we might get some cows on the property.
01:07:49.020
You know, these are two vastly different things.
01:08:00.360
Well, and again, the, the, the snake is known as, as a sign of wisdom and intelligence and
01:08:04.740
people who, if you believe in the whole, the Luciferian sect, they're the ones who are
01:08:09.860
Luciferians are the ones who are all about science and technology.
01:08:12.480
Whereas have other sects that are more about destruction.
01:08:15.340
And the Moloch, the ones who, who are more on the Moloch side, they're about destroying
01:08:21.820
But I mean, and I'm not sure how much that I buy into, but I do believe that there, there
01:08:26.720
are different sects of these fallen entities on earth and they have different agenda.
01:08:30.460
They have the same big picture agenda, but they have different ways of getting there.
01:08:35.040
Like, you know, Democrats, Republicans, they all want to do the same thing, but they just
01:08:42.980
Moloch, Moloch with the head of the, of the ox.
01:08:47.640
Where like, I look at like Homer's odyssey more and more like, what the hell was this
01:08:53.220
Because, um, I, I've started, like, I had this conversation with my wife only an hour
01:08:58.720
or so ago, maybe a little bit more than that in the car.
01:09:01.120
And I'm like, yeah, I'm, this is how crazy your husband is.
01:09:03.660
I think that there's real precedent for minotaurs.
01:09:06.300
I think that there's real, you know, precedent for, I don't know, giant, giant cyclops and
01:09:11.340
It's like, just keep making money, just keep making money doing it and whatever.
01:09:18.760
Do we have, are we need, do we need to stop or do we have a little bit?
01:09:24.300
So, uh, so I'm, I'm going to save the rebellion stuff for next week.
01:09:27.880
And I'm also going to save like maybe some of the other classes, but what I want to, a theory
01:09:31.900
I want to put out there, I think it's interesting is this.
01:09:34.700
Cause when you're looking at the idea of the cherubim and that they, each, each one
01:09:37.840
of them represent a class of, of, of life on earth.
01:09:54.740
Did God, um, create the, the cherubim to look like this because he knew he was going
01:10:08.600
The cherubim, you guys are, are, you know, you got, you're my first creation.
01:10:13.000
So I'm going to make my next set of creation, the mortal life look like you guys.
01:10:21.180
I mean, that, that goes back to that whole idea of, um, we will make them in our image.
01:10:29.420
And that, that is a point of contention for a lot of people.
01:10:33.460
Uh, and I know that in the original translation, it says the Elohim, that's the, the word that
01:10:39.640
they use, but I, I just wonder if, if maybe there's something in that, like God creates
01:10:45.160
us, but he incorporates the point of view, or at least the opinions of these other entities
01:10:51.360
and then ultimately decides, yeah, we'll create them to, to resemble us.
01:10:58.460
Meaning when he says image, that word does not mean to look like physically.
01:11:03.460
Image means you being made in the image means you bear the image.
01:11:11.200
That means that creation is going to react to what react to Adam and Eve the same way
01:11:16.040
So they were made in the image and that they have spirit and that they have certain authority.
01:11:20.820
So it wasn't necessarily, what I'm getting at is like, we were imbued with some aspect
01:11:30.500
Is it now, I guess the argument he's talking to Jesus Christ and the Holy spirit or talk
01:11:34.460
like talking to himself or the other Elohim around him.
01:11:39.540
One is that he's speaking the triune God is speaking that way.
01:11:44.340
Or that there, or, or Michael Heiser, um, who's one of my mentors, he says that according
01:11:50.820
to his, he's an expert PhD in, in Hebrew, he says it's, it's kind of like the Royal
01:11:55.900
Hi, I'm Darren Marler, host of the weird darkness podcast.
01:11:59.160
I want to talk about the most important tool in my podcast belt.
01:12:02.480
Spreaker is the all in one platform that makes it easy to record, host, and distribute your
01:12:07.060
show everywhere from Apple podcasts to Spotify.
01:12:09.640
But the real game changer for me was Spreaker's monetization.
01:12:15.620
That means you can automatically insert ads into your episodes, no editing required.
01:12:19.920
And with Spreaker's programmatic ads, they'll bring the ads to you and you get paid for
01:12:24.960
This turned my podcasting hobby into a full-time career.
01:12:28.060
Spreaker also has a premium subscription model where your most dedicated listeners can pay
01:12:32.480
for bonus content or early access, adding another revenue stream to what you're already
01:12:39.980
Whether you're just starting out or running a full-blown podcast network, Spreaker's powerful
01:12:47.440
So if you're ready to podcast like a pro and get paid while doing it, check out Spreaker.com.
01:12:58.040
Like when you say, you know, when I say, you know, I'm going to get us some pizza.
01:13:06.400
You know, I said, when I say, let's get, let's get us some pizza.
01:13:12.420
That's why I'm, so that's why I'm kind of leaning towards this idea that if it really
01:13:16.260
was these angelic beings that, that God is speaking to, it's more like he, cause he's
01:13:21.380
does seem to repeatedly throughout the Bible, consider what his creations think, or if they
01:13:29.080
He doesn't really consider what the angels think while he's talking to them.
01:13:34.260
I mean, in, in the book of Enoch, he cares what the angels think, right?
01:13:41.280
Um, he, there are areas where he considers their opinion.
01:13:43.660
Now he definitely, he decides he's, he, he makes a final decision, but he does take their
01:13:48.020
But you have, like you said, in the book of Enoch, you also have an, in the book of first
01:13:50.540
Kings when, I think we talked about this before, when, when they're deciding how they're going
01:13:54.060
to take out King Ahab and, and, um, and, and some, and several of the Elohim give him
01:14:01.780
I'm going to make, I'll, I'll be a lying spirit in the mouth of his prophets.
01:14:06.640
So he, oh, he can't, he, but, but the difference here in creation is God is acting unilaterally in
01:14:12.960
So he, so it can, it can be that he says, you know what, let's, let's make them like us.
01:14:18.740
In the sense that they're going to be spirit beings and have intelligence and all that.
01:14:24.660
And that's where people like Billy Carson and folks who are saying that the angels made
01:14:30.300
They might've bear witness to the process and maybe they even got to like, say like,
01:14:37.920
And maybe God considered it, but that's kind of what it seems like.
01:14:40.540
You're standing around and God is, is making all the shots.
01:14:43.780
He's calling all the shots, but he is communing with his, this council that he's created of
01:14:48.860
other high ranking spiritual entities or just entities that exist in spiritual realms period.
01:14:53.500
And yeah, I mean, there's some aspect of us that is hugely spiritual.
01:15:00.520
That's, I wouldn't say that's the same thing for like a, you know, a turtle.
01:15:05.080
Does a turtle have like massive spiritual implications?
01:15:07.780
Is there a huge spiritual component to a turtle?
01:15:10.480
I don't, I don't think so, but there is clearly one to human beings.
01:15:15.620
I mean, it could, it, it, it might totally be that, um, the, the cherubim said, Hey God,
01:15:26.180
And maybe, and maybe the Elohim that the cherubim that looks like humanity.
01:15:29.520
Maybe there's something special about that one.
01:15:30.980
Well, that's what, so, you know how we always say like there's nine truths and then they
01:15:34.000
sell, they sell you one, uh, you know, really, really fundamental lie.
01:15:37.980
Um, in order for them to be able to lie to us, it has to parallel the truth as closely
01:15:44.580
So imagine like being in the room when we were made and then telling us that we actually
01:15:55.100
You even had some conversations about the idea of creating us and maybe even had some input,
01:16:01.180
And so I wouldn't be surprised if there was something like that taking place.
01:16:06.560
They did maybe potentially even have input, but ultimately God is, is who created us.
01:16:11.720
I was having a conversation with someone this morning along, along the similar lines.
01:16:14.560
And like, it's a, if there was not a kernel of truth to it, we wouldn't believe it.
01:16:19.300
You cannot build anything long lasting on a foundation of lies.
01:16:22.200
There has to be truth at the core, and then you can slap all kinds of lies all over it
01:16:26.460
and it'll still stand, even though it's a Frankenstein, you know, monstrosity, but, um, without
01:16:34.480
So next week, um, I'll finish off the class of angels.
01:16:38.240
We'll talk about archangels and the watchers and, you know, the, the other ones that Paul
01:16:43.420
mentions, like, you know, um, uh, principalities and, um, spiritual wickedness in high places
01:16:50.520
And then we'll get into some of the rebellion, what that might've entailed and get into Genesis
01:16:57.540
Well, I mean, let's, uh, let's bring it in for a landing then.
01:17:02.140
Uh, one more time, Ed, where can everybody find your material until next week?
01:17:06.640
Um, yeah, uh, faithbyreason.net where the legacy stuff is, the new stuff and all the great
01:17:11.820
interaction is going to be, um, on the Patreon, patreon.com slash faith by reason.
01:17:18.280
You can, you get access to, um, bonus material, new stuff that I put out first Q and A's and
01:17:24.300
what's going to be going out today and the Bible study.
01:17:29.760
And then once a month it's live, half an hour of overview, another half hour of Q and
01:17:38.500
Looking forward to the next one on, I think the 16th of March.
01:17:44.960
I'm going to try to be there live for the next one because I want the replay.
01:17:48.180
It's just, you know, sometimes during the weekend, it's harder for us, but, uh, I want
01:17:59.860
Um, well guys go and check out faithbyreason.net support Ed and all of his work.
01:18:04.180
It's, uh, there's a lot there, uh, to be gleamed.
01:18:07.080
And, uh, I suppose until next time, top, is that all we got?
01:18:16.580
The greatest hypnotist on planet earth is a oblong box in the corner of the room.
01:18:22.580
It is constantly telling us what to believe is real.
01:18:26.360
If you can persuade them that what they see with their eyes is what there is to see, because
01:18:33.080
they'll laugh in the face of an explanation that portrays the bigger picture of what's
