00:01:50.440
And we know from other scriptures that there are times when angels do interact physically in our world.
00:02:02.360
I mean, Abraham has a meal with the two who accompany Yahweh, or the angel of Yahweh,
00:02:08.160
because Abraham was able to look at him without being destroyed,
00:02:19.520
So, I mean, there are a number of places where, of course, the two who interacted with Lot and his family.
00:02:25.320
So, there are times when they do interact with us physically.
00:02:28.780
The book of Hebrews tells us that we sometimes entertain angels unknowingly,
00:02:38.560
It's just the people who don't want to accept that this is a possibility and try to read a presumption back into it.
00:02:47.580
Well, yeah, except that the Bible tells us specifically that they did.
00:02:56.620
News readers, politicians, teachers, lecturers.
00:03:01.480
We are in a country and in a world that is being run by unbelievably sick people.
00:03:09.680
The chasm between what we're told is going on and what is really going on is absolutely...
00:03:18.720
It's like we all know it's going down, but no one's saying shit what happened to the home of the brave.
00:03:24.960
They're controlling this now, and no one's talking about how they know they're trying to be slaves.
00:03:29.680
And everybody's just walking around, heading to climb, don't want to wake up to a dead in the grave.
00:03:34.880
But it's too late, we need to be ready to raise up.
00:03:43.220

Now, joining us today is our guest, Derek Gilbert.
00:04:23.020
Mr. Gilbert, if you could, please let the audience know where they can find your work
00:04:30.080
The easiest way to follow what Sharon and I do is at gilberthouse.org.
00:04:34.420
gilberthouse.org, we produce a weekly television program called Unraveling Revelation.
00:04:40.980
We formerly produced programs called SciFriday, based on Sharon's experience as a molecular biologist.
00:04:50.060
We've done a program called The Bible's Greatest Mysteries, and we'll be bringing that back shortly.
00:04:55.200
We've been podcasting since 2005, when the podcast that started the whole thing, PID Radio,
00:05:02.460
which stands for Peering into Darkness, began as a way to try to explore what it is that interests us
00:05:11.360
We basically dig deep into the supernatural war that's been ongoing since before the Garden of Eden,
00:05:18.240
and we've done a lot of digging into the influence of the Nephilim or Rephaim on not just ancient Israel,
00:05:27.740
There are prophetic scriptures that point to their ultimate destruction that have been sort of obscured
00:05:33.560
because it's only been within the last 40 years or so that scholars have acknowledged that,
00:05:38.220
yeah, okay, the Rephaim were not just run-of-the-mill human dead.
00:05:41.860
They were actually the spirits of the giants destroyed in the flood,
00:05:44.700
or at least that's what the Hebrew prophets believed.
00:05:46.540
But, yeah, we believe the Hebrew prophets knew what they were writing about and talking about.
00:05:54.620
Why was that important back then, but how does it affect us today and in the future?
00:06:04.060
So, what got us interested in this is obviously the story of, you know,
00:06:07.320
just the Genesis 6 story, which is becoming very popular these days,
00:06:10.060
and the through line that we see that it runs directly through our culture.
00:06:13.500
Almost everything that we come to and everything that we see around us,
00:06:17.540
it kind of goes back to this same story of fallen angels and their children who are disembodied in the world
00:06:26.260
Or I guess, you know, we would call them demons, right?
00:06:31.860
And that was the understanding of the early church.
00:06:33.380
When you look at the writings of the early church fathers from the late 1st, really early 2nd century
00:06:38.720
through the early 5th century, that was the consensus.
00:06:41.940
It wasn't until Julius Africanus in the 4th century and then Augustine especially,
00:06:46.480
Augustine in the early 5th, that the idea that the sons of God,
00:06:51.580
mentioned in Genesis 6, verses 1 through 4, were sons of Seth, became the predominant view.
00:06:57.940
And that's really what's taught in seminaries today.
00:06:59.740
Even though Bible scholars, you know, not ordained pastors, but people who study the biblical texts,
00:07:05.280
have understood for at least the last century that the early church's understanding of Genesis 6,
00:07:12.600
the supernatural view that the sons of God were spirit beings,
00:07:17.040
angels is kind of an imprecise term, but it's one I guess we're all familiar with.
00:07:20.700
These angels came down to earth and commingled with humanity.
00:07:23.960
Bible scholars understand that's what was meant by Genesis 6, verses 1 through 4,
00:07:32.100
And then when you couple that with the idea that we are a monotheistic religion,
00:07:36.020
even though we believe as Trinitarian Christians that the Godhead, Father, Son, Holy Spirit,
00:07:41.420
they are three, but they are one, which is, you know, mind exploding.
00:07:49.080
And so when we start talking about the other gods mentioned in the Bible,
00:07:52.980
I mean, God himself, Yahweh, calls them gods, small g.
00:08:02.200
They can't accept this because, wait a minute, there are no other gods before.
00:08:06.740
Yes, there are no other gods before Yahweh, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
00:08:12.080
And so that is what's called the divine counsel worldview.
00:08:18.000
Dr. Michael Heiser, the late Dr. Michael Heiser,
00:08:20.220
was really foremost in bringing this concept from academia to us in the pews.
00:08:27.020
And so now it really is a lot, as Mike would put it,
00:08:30.700
explanatory power toward helping us understand some of the difficult passages in the Old Testament.
00:08:36.360
It's funny because I was having this conversation with one of my friends who is in seminary or he graduated.
00:08:48.520
But I'm in his house and he has this really cool porcelain statue of the Ten Commandments.
00:09:03.500
The first commandment right there, you see that one at the top that says,
00:09:08.820
And I was like, where do you put that scripture?
00:09:15.140
I was like, well, because he meant what he said there.
00:09:20.420
Exodus 12, 12, when he's telling Moses that on the night that the destroying angel passes through the land of Egypt,
00:09:27.160
on all the gods of Egypt, I will execute judgment.
00:09:31.720
And Psalm 82, when God takes his place in the midst of the divine council, in the midst of the gods,
00:09:37.780
wait a minute, Elohim is not in the midst of himself, so who are these other Elohim that he's in the midst of?
00:09:44.040
And so critics of the divine council worldview, and there have been some who've been posting videos critical of Mike Heiser
00:09:52.180
they have to find ways to explain why the word Elohim in Hebrew doesn't mean what it means.
00:09:58.660
because the word Elohim always refers to spirit beings.
00:10:03.560
But they try to read the New Testament for, specifically, John 10, verse 34, back into Psalm 82, verse 6,
00:10:14.680
though you are gods, all of you, sons of the Most High, like men you shall die and fall like any prince.
00:10:20.080
Well, Jesus quotes Psalm 82, 6, to the Pharisees and the others who are accusing him of casting out demons by his own power or whatever.
00:10:28.480
And Jesus had just said, I and the Father are one.
00:10:32.040
Okay, so he's claiming divinity, and then they want to stone him for this.
00:10:37.920
And then Jesus says, your scriptures say, you are gods, all of you.
00:10:44.560
And so this is taken as a proof text by the critics saying that, see, Jesus said, we're all gods.
00:10:50.920
If he was doing that, then why did they want to stone him for saying, I and the Father are one?
00:10:55.680
If Jesus is saying, hey, your own scriptures say that I'm a god, you're a god, we're all gods, wouldn't you want to be a god, too?
00:11:06.220
In fact, Mike wrote a paper on this and presented a paper on this back in 2011 for the Society of Biblical Literature.
00:11:12.680
Jesus wasn't saying what the critics say he was saying.
00:11:19.840
And they're reading it back into the Old Testament.
00:11:21.780
And it's rather hubristic, really, because it's, you know, here we are in the 21st century English speakers telling Hebrew speakers that they don't know what their ancestors were writing about 2,500 years ago or 3,000 years ago.
00:11:36.380
And it means we as Christians need to kind of understand the worldview of the Hebrew prophets and apostles.
00:11:42.540
So contrary to what critics have claimed, this is not trying to come up with some exciting new way of reading the Bible to sell books.
00:11:51.600
It's really about trying to understand the worldview of the Hebrew prophets and the Christian apostles.
00:11:56.640
It seems like a lot of us are making this mistake of trying to make the Bible fit our worldview instead of our worldview fitting into the Bible.
00:12:05.060
You know, one of the things I wanted to ask you to start off this conversation was when it comes to the angels who were cast out of heaven, who...

00:13:45.840
One of the things that you—because through this narrative or this understanding of biblical text,
00:13:51.260
I also find that there's a tremendous amount of pushback from people who consider themselves to be Christians,
00:14:01.900
And one of the arguments is, well, angels did not have a physical form, that sort of an idea.
00:14:08.500
Well, it's premised on the idea that the Hebrew language doesn't mean what the Hebrew words actually mean.
00:14:15.640
First of all, again, the Bnei HaElohim of Genesis 6, that's what that phrase means.
00:14:26.380
It is a term that in the cognate languages or languages similar to ancient Hebrew,
00:14:30.860
the cognate phrase in those languages, in Eucharitic, for example, mean exactly the same thing.
00:14:37.500
The sons—and we'll put that in air quotes because these were all created beings, they were not engendered spirit beings.
00:14:44.140
As Jesus said that people in the resurrection are like the angels in heaven, neither marrying nor giving in marriage.
00:14:52.240
They don't actually physically die, so they don't need to propagate.
00:14:57.240
We operate in a different realm where we do suffer physical death,
00:15:01.020
so in order to continue the species, we have to physically reproduce.
00:15:03.720
But, and again, this is one of the objections, too.
00:15:07.060
It says the angels neither marry nor give in marriage.
00:15:11.520
Remember, that's a key part of that phrase when Jesus is contending this.
00:15:14.780
This is Matthew 12, beginning of verse 22, if I remember correctly.
00:15:19.680
And he—so he's—actually, that phrase, that whole exchange is not really about whether or not angels can reproduce.
00:15:29.860
The Sadducees were confronting him with a test.
00:15:33.060
You know, a woman was married to seven different brothers who all died one after another, never had any children.
00:15:37.400
So, in the resurrection, whose wife is she going to be?
00:15:42.760
And that's where Jesus says, no, you don't understand the scriptures.
00:15:45.180
In the resurrection, there is neither marrying nor giving in marriage, because they're like the angels in heaven.
00:15:49.840
But the angels in Genesis 6, the sons of God, weren't in heaven.
00:15:53.660
Which is why Jude, in verses 6 and 7, where he talks about the sinful angels who were in chains in gloomy darkness,
00:16:01.680
kept not their first estate or left their proper dwelling.
00:16:05.460
They left the realm for which they were created, the spirit realm, and entered our realm, the natural realm, and commingled with humanity.
00:16:14.880
When you read the references to that event in the New Testament, 2 Peter 2, beginning at verse 4,
00:16:20.500
God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them into, the English Bible usually reads hell,
00:16:26.860
but the Greek word is tartarosis, meaning Tartarus, not Hades.
00:16:31.000
A separate place of punishment reserved for supernatural threats to the divine order.
00:16:35.860
And Jude, the same way, in Jude, verses 6 and 7, when you continue on in Jude, when you continue on in 2 Peter 2,
00:16:42.800
it's clear that the sin of these sinful angels was a sexual sin.
00:16:47.400
Jude specifically says, likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah, you know, referencing their attempt to cross the species barrier
00:16:55.440
with the angels who protected Lot and his family.
00:16:59.780
And I think that's really what was going on there.
00:17:01.640
It's not that they were following an alternative lifestyle.
00:17:03.740
It's they were trying to get busy with the two angels.
00:17:10.060
And, of course, know, in the biblical sense, is a euphemism for physical intercourse.
00:17:17.820
Those who are making this statement, saying angels can't reproduce,
00:17:27.760
Secondly, Genesis 6 specifically says that they did,
00:17:30.780
and that's supported by the references to those sinful angels
00:17:34.900
and why they were punished in 2 Peter 2 and Jude verses 6 and 7.
00:17:42.640
They go, well, these people who are objecting to that notion
00:17:46.140
also are willing to accept the idea that men in Sodom and Gomorrah were trying to pursue these angels.
00:17:52.660
They did want them out of the house so that they can, you know, have intercourse with them.
00:17:56.840
Essentially, I mean, this is something that people seem pretty comfortable with in that context,
00:18:05.660
We actually do a Revelation series with this guy, Ed Mabry,
00:18:12.260
But the last episode, or two episodes ago, we were focused on the word fornication.
00:18:18.820
And he was explaining to us that fornication doesn't just mean, like, sex out of marriage.
00:18:27.420
Well, he said that there's actually no such thing as sex out of marriage
00:18:30.820
because sex is almost, and I'm paraphrasing here, I'm sure I'm going to butcher his words,
00:18:35.080
but it's almost like a binding spiritual contract.
00:18:37.640
And so it, in his estimation, I think the way he described it
00:18:42.400
was that it is the equivalent of a marriage contract.
00:18:46.200
It is the actual sealing of the deal, essentially.

and maximize game performance with enhanced overclocking.
00:20:22.320
And that's why when the Israelites went after other gods,
00:20:25.100
it was called, you know, whoring after the Baals and the Asherim,
00:20:32.960
it was Matthew 22 beginning at verse 23 that I was referring to,
00:20:38.400
So, yeah, and we know from other scriptures that there are times when angels do interact physically in our world.
00:20:48.300
I mean, Abraham has a meal with the two who accompany Yahweh, right, or the angel of Yahweh,
00:20:54.200
because Abraham was able to look at him without being destroyed, but it was Yahweh in physical form.
00:21:05.620
So, I mean, there are a number of places where we, and of course, the two who interacted with Lot and his family.
00:21:11.340
So, there are times when they do interact with us physically.
00:21:14.760
The book of Hebrews tells us that we sometimes entertain angels unknowingly,
00:21:24.720
It's just the people who don't want to accept that this is a possibility,
00:21:33.580
Well, yeah, except that the Bible tells us specifically that they did.
00:21:37.700
Is it because this really pushes back in such a way as to alter the narrative we thought we understood
00:21:47.640
And since that is such an integral story about the sin of man,
00:21:53.160
in our minds, it's kind of like this, it's a staple of a story when it comes to understanding the Bible.
00:22:01.740
And for us to be fundamentally wrong about that is to say that you are fundamentally wrong about your worldview.
00:22:09.320
So, when you're coming to a push against something that's that integral to your understanding,
00:22:15.660
I think that is where a lot of this pushback comes from, right?
00:22:18.280
Because the contention here or the ramifications is that the flood wasn't necessarily just because of the sin of man,
00:22:25.240
but because there was a genetic issue at foot in the sense of the DNA of these fallen entities
00:22:39.420
Yeah, and by the way, just to give you a heads up,
00:22:41.240
the retired fellow who mows our property is just gearing up his mower.
00:22:45.080
You can probably hear it in the background now.
00:22:46.440
As he's going around the barn here, it may get a little loud from time to time.
00:22:57.920
I think for some people, cognitive dissonance is really more than...
00:23:03.420
I don't want to cast aspersions on anyone, because a lot of these people who are critical of the Divine Council worldview
00:23:09.700
or the Deuteronomy 32 addition, or not addition, but corollary to the Divine Council worldview.
00:23:17.940
Deuteronomy 32, verse 8, that when God gave the nations their inheritance,
00:23:21.740
meaning after Babel, when he divided the nations by confusing languages,
00:23:25.580
he numbered them according to the number of the Bnei HaElohim, the number of the sons of God,
00:23:31.320
meaning that he allotted angelic beings as supervisors, if you will, over the human race.
00:23:39.820
And then many of them chose to accept worship and became the gods of the nations.
00:23:43.800
This was the understanding of the Jewish rabbis until the 2nd century A.D.,
00:23:47.580
because this Divine Council worldview and this acknowledgement that there are other Elohim,
00:24:00.360
Yahweh is an Elohim, but not all Elohim are Yahweh.
00:24:04.680
In other words, he is the only one who pre-existed all things
00:24:08.420
and spoke all other things into existence, including all the other Elohim.
00:24:22.500
It's like I'm a Chicagoan because I was born there, but I am not the Chicagoan, you know?
00:24:28.060
There is a high king, and he has a council like the court of a medieval king.
00:24:33.380
We see this in action in 1 Kings 22, where God asks the spirits
00:24:36.920
how they should deceive Ahab to go into battle against the Syrians,
00:24:44.300
I mean, according to Isaiah, he sees the end from the beginning.
00:24:46.880
He knew what was going to happen, but for his own pleasure, he created a family.
00:24:53.040
And so one spirit says one thing, another says another, and finally God says,
00:24:58.160
But he knew what was going to happen, and he didn't need that spirit to do it.
00:25:01.380
God is omnipotent, omnipresent, you know, omniscient.
00:25:04.360
And so he could have done it himself, but for his own purposes, his own pleasure.
00:25:11.660
I mean, he doesn't need us to talk about it and try to share the reasons we believe this
00:25:15.840
and why we find hope and joy in this, and yet here we are.
00:25:23.640
That's the reason behind the divine counsel concept.
00:25:25.860
Now, at Babel, people were apparently trying to build an artificial mountain
00:25:29.500
to reestablish contact with the old gods who used to walk among us,
00:25:34.200
who'd been demoted and punished and sent to the netherworld.
00:25:37.520
And, of course, you've got the pagan stories from various cultures that, you know,
00:25:41.800
the story of the Greek titans, the Roman titans, in other words.
00:25:47.220
That story is paralleled in ancient cultures going back to some of the earliest written civilizations
00:25:52.660
like the Sumerians and the Hurrians, where the Anunnaki of the Sumerians,
00:25:57.360
by the time of Abraham, they'd been demoted to gods of the netherworld.
00:26:00.980
The former gods of the Hurrians, which is an even older culture than the Sumerians, believe it or not,
00:26:05.700
their former gods were also banished in the netherworld.
00:26:10.660
The Greco-Roman religions came directly out of ancient Mesopotamia.
00:26:16.060
So these stories are repeated from culture to culture.
00:26:18.580
The names change, some details change, but the broad outlines of the story change.
00:26:22.920
At Babel, humanity tried to reestablish contact with the entities in the abyss.
00:26:29.440
And God said, okay, look, you want to deal with a lesser Elohim, fine, but you're not going to like it.
00:26:34.500
It's sort of the way God told the prophet Samuel.
00:26:41.040
We'll give him a king, but they're not going to like it.
00:26:45.480
Wait, David, that's just, it's interesting because usually when we talk about Babel,
00:26:49.300
I think about, you know, shooting the arrow at God.
00:26:52.340
But you're saying that, no, it was quite different.
00:26:54.360
They were actually going beneath to then fight God.
00:26:57.840
So this kind of opens up the idea of what CERN is.
00:27:04.720
It's depicted as a tower, but it seems like it's going below.
00:27:08.440
Well, what's interesting is that ancient Sumerian, the word for mountain was identical
00:27:13.380
The word CERN, K-U-R, means mountain, but it also means the netherworld, which means
00:27:22.280
And I go into this in great detail in the book, The Second Coming of Saturn, because
00:27:26.000
his Akkadian and Babylonian identity, Enlil, his main epithet or nickname was CERN-GAL, meaning
00:27:36.440
But it could also mean, in Sumerian, it could also mean great below, great netherworld, great
00:27:46.900
And when we were at Gilgal Rephaim last spring, we spent a day there with the archaeologist
00:27:52.740
who did the most recent excavations at Gilgal Rephaim and the Serpent Mound of Bashan, which
00:27:58.100
is just a quarter mile north of there, covered with megalithic tombs.
00:28:02.080
He suggests that the reason the two gates in Gilgal Rephaim, if you look at it on Google
00:28:10.020
Earth, I mean, you can see it from space, this is how big it is, 500 feet across, there
00:28:18.220
And when you look out from the central core through those gates, they frame perfectly extinct
00:28:27.820
One is Tel Saki, the other one is called Tel Fares.
00:28:31.760
They're both used now by the IDF as observation points to look into Syria, so you can't go
00:28:36.880
But you can see them from Gilgal Rephaim, and he's right, they don't align with anything
00:28:43.840
So his thinking is, and because the central core has got an entry, like a chamber entry or
00:28:48.480
a shaft entry that leads to the central core, which would have been pitch black in ancient
00:28:54.420
times, archaeologists in the 90s scooped up some of the rocks that were on top of it,
00:28:58.660
so now there's a hole so you can see in from the outside.
00:29:03.480
But when you went in there, other than on the summer solstice, when light would shine in
00:29:09.780
through a roof box and shine onto a threshold stone that you have to cross when you're going
00:29:18.480
And I document in the second coming of Saturn that there was an ancient practice that traces
00:29:24.020
back to the Hurrians, who are the Horites of the Bible, of digging a ritual pit and going
00:29:31.660
One of them discovered in a town in northern Syria a site called Tel Mozan, the ancient city
00:29:36.720
of Ur-Kesh, that was something like 40 to 45 feet deep.
00:29:41.460
And they would go down there, they would scribe like a magic circle on the floor, sacrifice a
00:29:45.580
small animal, and then summon gods from the netherworld.
00:29:48.780
My belief is that Babel was an attempt to reconnect with those old gods, the former gods
00:29:54.560
of the Hurrians, the titans of the Greeks and Romans, the Anunnaki of the Sumerians, who
00:29:59.600
were now in the netherworld to get them up and ask them for favors.
00:30:03.660
So I think Babel, even though it's a mountain, it also represents the netherworld.
00:30:08.220
And David Roll, the Egyptologist, whose chronology basically stands Egyptology on his head, don't
00:30:16.300
agree with his chronology, but he did point out something very, very interesting, that
00:30:25.180
This probably dates to the very end of the Uruk period of history.
00:30:29.900
That, according to the Bible, was the center of Nimrod's kingdom.
00:30:33.720
The Uruk period ended around 3100 B.C., just before the invention of writing.
00:30:39.860
They dominated the Middle East, Mesopotamia, from the Persian Gulf to the Taurus Mountains
00:30:45.220
of Turkey for a period of about 700 or 800 years in the 4th millennium B.C.
00:30:50.940
There's a site in southern Iraq near the Persian Gulf.
00:30:54.840
In fact, back in the day, it was on the shore of the Persian Gulf called Eridu, E-R-I-D-U.
00:30:59.660
And there's a temple there to the god Enki called the E-Abzu, or House of the Abyss.

00:32:27.140
There is a Sumerian poem that exists to this day.
00:32:34.740
It's been found and translated from, it was preserved in Akkadian, and translated into English.
00:32:43.380
And it remembers that this king named Enmerkar, who Roll suggested was the biblical Nimrod,
00:32:49.340
and I think he makes a good case, was trying to rebuild this temple as a gleaming mountain,
00:32:58.640
So this king, and Arata could be another name for Ararat, the mountains of Turkey,
00:33:04.440
which we know they had contact with because, again, the Uruk civilization extended that far north into Turkey,
00:33:09.920
was trying to get building materials from this kingdom of Arata.
00:33:14.240
I mean, you know, southeast Iraq, your building materials are basically sand and mud.
00:33:19.420
So they wanted timber, jewels, stone to build this temple as the abode of the gods.
00:33:26.400
Well, this ziggurat that archaeologists discovered in the early 20th century,
00:33:33.840
I think there's an Italian team working at that site right now.
00:33:36.300
But in 1949, they discovered like 18 levels to this temple.
00:33:40.440
It was the oldest, and if it had been completed, it would have been the largest ziggurat in Mesopotamia,
00:33:47.980
bigger than the great ziggurat of Ur for the moon god, bigger than the temple of Marduk in Babylon.
00:33:55.680
The scholars who wrote the paper on this in 1949 said,
00:33:58.880
for some reason, at the end of the Uruk period, construction ended,
00:34:02.380
and the site was very quickly covered over by drifting sand, just like in Genesis 10,
00:34:10.440
So if you put this evidence together, I mean, there's no smoking gun,
00:34:13.920
because, again, this is pre-writing, you know, before the invention of writing.
00:34:18.260
We don't have any written records from the 4th millennium B.C. saying,
00:34:23.940
But we've got this poem that exists, and in that poem,
00:34:26.440
Enmerkar and the Lord of Arata, it even mentions the confusion of languages.
00:34:30.520
This episode is brought to you by LandOfBiltong.com.
00:34:35.600
Biltong is a traditional form of dried, cured meat, which originated from Southern African countries.
00:34:41.480
And at Anton's Land of Biltong, they use premium cuts of Angus and Wagyu beef.
00:34:46.480
They handcraft their own spice blends and slowly dry-age their meats to give you biltong with a unique and satisfying flavor.
00:34:53.900
Unlike popular brands of beef jerky that are filled with preservatives and chemicals, food colorings, and sugars,
00:35:00.080
Anton's Biltong is made with natural ingredients.
00:35:02.880
When I'm doing diets like the ketogenic diet or the carnivore diet,
00:35:06.220
I can just reach over and grab a bag of Anton's Biltong, and there's no harm done.
00:35:10.840
I'm able to snack and not feel guilty about it.
00:35:15.960
In fact, in between shows when we're doing a double day and I don't have time to cook for myself,
00:35:20.720
I just walk over to the kitchen real quick, grab a bag, and chow down.
00:35:24.520

That's promo code NEPHILUM to receive 10% off your entire order from LandOfBiltong.com.
00:35:51.960
So you've got this, the evidence pointing to the reconstruction of a temple called the House of the Abyss
00:36:00.460
It's consistent with the story in the book of Genesis.
00:36:03.440
I know that we're going to be leaving soon from Rumble and YouTube,
00:36:09.140
but I wanted to ask this question before we move on to the next topic.
00:36:13.160
What do you say to people who, right now, Top and I, we see the rise of these ideologies, right?
00:36:21.100
Certainly the narrative of the fallen angels and the Nephilim and things of that nature,
00:36:24.980
but alongside of it, like you alluded to earlier, the Anunnaki and things like that.
00:36:29.080
And there is this really dismissive idea that just because the Sumerian texts predate the Bible
00:36:37.900
and predate the arrival of Jesus Christ, that makes them the actual source of information.
00:36:47.320
And, you know, it's a long kind of winded conversation to have about how these entities did exist.
00:37:02.020
Some of them ruled over kingdoms, things of that nature.
00:37:04.600
But for some reason, people hit this block where they go, well, these, you know,
00:37:09.420
whether it's the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, which no one's ever actually read,
00:37:13.740
there's just secondhand information about them.
00:37:15.700
We don't have them on display or something like that in a museum anywhere.
00:37:19.120
Or, you know, the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Sumerian texts,
00:37:22.720
the fact that they predate, you know, the life of Jesus Christ,
00:37:29.280
this makes them the correct source of information.
00:37:36.900
1 Corinthians 15, Paul tells the church at Corinth exactly why they need to believe
00:37:44.000
And it is that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.
00:37:51.300
And that he appeared to Cephas, Peter, then to the twelve.
00:37:54.860
Then he appeared to more than 500 brothers at one time,
00:37:58.360
most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.
00:38:03.840
Twenty years after the resurrection, most of the witnesses are still alive.
00:38:08.420
1 Corinthians 15 is all about the importance, the critical importance,
00:38:12.180
of believing in the literal, physical resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth.
00:38:17.140
If Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection?
00:38:20.600
But if there's no resurrection, then you're still in your sins.
00:38:29.680
If you don't believe me, send someone to Jerusalem and ask around,
00:38:45.140
She just knew in her spirit, knew in her heart that it was true.
00:38:47.880
I had to, in my mid-30s, I had to go through this process, see the chain of evidence.
00:38:58.960
And that Paul, in the book of Galatians, said that after his Damascus Road experience,
00:39:04.640
he spent three years in Damascus learning from the brothers there.
00:39:07.260
Then he went to Arabia, which I think actually was Petra, but whatever.
00:39:11.840
Then he went to Jerusalem, and he spent 15 days with Peter and with James.
00:39:19.420
And I believe it's because Paul needed to go and find out from the source,
00:39:25.560
These things that I've been hearing about in Damascus for the last three years,
00:39:32.980
And the fact that James was martyred, this was another key for me in accepting all of this as true.
00:39:40.380
James was martyred in the early 60s, I think 62, 63 A.D.
00:39:46.240
I forget the year exactly, but it was where there was like a gap between the Roman governor of Judea.
00:39:53.740
One died, and before the next one could come, the Sanhedrin had James put to death,
00:39:59.320
because the Romans did not allow their subject populations to carry out death sentences.
00:40:03.680
So the fact that James, who was in a position to know if all of this was fake,
00:40:07.060
was willing to die rather than recant his testimony, to me was, wow, okay, that means Jesus really did live.
00:40:16.620
And Paul writing this about the witnesses, that means there were witnesses to the resurrection.
00:40:21.180
Okay, he really did come back from the dead, and Jesus validated the accounts in the Old Testament,
00:40:31.700
Okay, for me, that was what, you know, the light switch that flipped.
00:40:36.360
And again, this was in my mid-30s, so, you know, 25, 27 years ago when this happened.
00:40:45.080
And the fact that you've got archaeology now that is finding things that are confirming the biblical narrative.
00:40:49.520
There's not yet been an archaeological discovery that has contradicted the biblical narrative.
00:40:59.640
Yeah, Dead Sea Scrolls, but the curse tablet from Mount Ibal, the site of Joshua's altar.
00:41:04.160
Lesser-known things like the Lachish milk bowl ostracon, which is like a piece of pottery with writing on it.
00:41:12.060
The wonderful work by Dr. Doug Petrovich on the actual origins of the Hebrew script,
00:41:18.640
which was the first alphabetic script, not Phoenician.
00:41:21.480
It was Hebrew, which he traces back to the 19th century B.C.
00:41:24.800
and the sons of Joseph in Egypt makes a really good case.
00:41:28.880
All of this stuff confirms the biblical narrative.
00:41:32.560
So, yes, the Sumerian, the Akkadian, Babylonian texts are older,
00:41:41.680
So, and to piggyback off of that, we just went through this recently where they dated the Shroud of Turin to be approximately 2,000 years old.
00:41:52.240
So, it seems that we just keep getting vindication after vindication.
00:41:56.520
But, Top, I don't know if you have any questions because I'm about to pull this into a different direction,
00:42:01.300
and I don't know if you wanted to expand on any of that before I go.
00:42:03.360
No, I'm just glad that we kind of touched on this because Sam Tripoli just had an episode with somebody who is espousing more New Age stuff,
00:42:10.900
and, you know, we are all gods, and Jesus was a Christ.
00:42:19.180
But it kind of, like, just reinforces my faith in what I believe already because it just looks like more and more of a replication of what Jesus was.
00:42:32.240
Like, yes, these people were trying to be a Christ.
00:42:34.780
They knew of the prophecy, but they couldn't fulfill this one important thing.
00:42:38.460
Like Ed Maber keeps saying, it's like, sure, we have a lot of stuff in common,
00:42:41.820
but if we want to get real specific, we have to talk about what we don't have in common.
00:42:45.680
And that thing is the resurrection and also dying for everybody's sins.
00:42:50.700
All of these other people kind of, you know, from Semiramis and Tammuz to all these other ancient Hindu gods that kind of replicate Mother Mary and Jesus,
00:43:00.740
they all do the same thing, but they are missing one very important detail.
00:43:04.100
So you can write this story as much as you want, which is, it's fascinating, right?
00:43:08.600
The story of the fallen angels and the Nephilim is rewritten all throughout history, throughout every culture, everywhere.
00:43:13.300
But one of them is kind of pointing directly at what this is.
00:43:17.200
The rest of them are obfuscated in mystery and some are worshipped, some are not, some are just, you know, stories.
00:43:23.180
Yeah, which you'd kind of expect if you've got a group of supernatural beings who have rebelled against their creator
00:43:28.420
and are trying to take dominion of this planet away from him by diverting his creations, his children, meaning us.

00:45:00.380
They don't really care what we believe as long as it's not the one thing that's true,
00:45:03.640
which again, 1 Corinthians 15, one of the most amazing chapters in Scripture,
00:45:10.080
because it's very simply, here's the gospel by which you're being saved,
00:45:15.460
and here's why the physical resurrection is so important,
00:45:19.020
because Jesus is the template, the first fruits, if you will, of what's going to happen to all of us.
00:45:25.560
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.
00:45:27.600
I want to bring things in a different direction, a little bit about what we were talking about before the show started.
00:45:37.080
This idea, as we talked about at the top, is causing some tension within the Christian community, right?
00:45:46.240
And it's integral, I believe, to our understanding of spiritual warfare and things of that nature,
00:45:54.920
to understand that these entities that you might encounter and consider them demons or what have you,
00:46:03.240
that these are actually the disembodied spirits of the offspring of the fallen angels,
00:46:07.880
that many of the pantheons that we've seen throughout time are actually the fallen themselves.
00:46:14.400
Without that knowledge, it becomes very difficult to understand what we're seeing today in modern times
00:46:23.680
when you have the events like what we saw unfold with Epstein's Island
00:46:30.440
or when it comes to the contents, which we talk about quite often on this show,
00:46:35.720
of the laptop that was recovered and the dialogue between the Podestas and Hillary Clinton,
00:46:41.820
the inquisiting as far as the resurrection chamber of Gilgamesh or the location of the buried Nephilim.
00:46:51.100
When you hear things like Moloch and Baal, as a society, 2024, in the West, we have a very hard time placing these things.
00:47:03.080
And I think that it's very significant that this information is coming back to the forefront of Christianity.
00:47:10.980
I think it's also very telling that there's some pushback right now because this is something that they say
00:47:18.800
the greatest lie the devil ever pulled was convincing you that he doesn't exist.
00:47:22.340
If you don't believe that these things exist, then you don't have the ability to push back against them.
00:47:27.980
And so when you hear names like Moloch and Baal, these echoes of Canaanite deities,
00:47:35.860
and you see them at play in today's modern world, how would you start to explain this to people?
00:47:47.160
Well, I would point people to, first of all, if they want a book to read,
00:47:51.880
Jonathan Cahn's Return of the Gods is a good introductory level explanation of what this is all about.
00:47:59.080
He focuses on just three entities there, which is Baal, Satan.
00:48:05.180
That was the Matthew 12 verse that I was thinking of, Matthew 12 beginning at verse 22.
00:48:09.620
Jesus accused of casting out demons by the power of Beelzebul, Baal the prince.
00:48:16.160
And Jesus replies by saying, if Satan cast out demons by his own power, how will Satan's kingdom stand?
00:48:23.040
Then he talks about the scarlet woman, which is Anana, Ishtar, Astarte, Aphrodite, or Venus in the Greco-Roman pantheon.
00:48:33.220
Sharon and I have argued for several years now that we think she is the woman who rides the beast in Revelation 17, 18.
00:48:39.660
She is a very ancient entity and really the first gender-fluid entity on earth as far as we know.
00:48:46.240
There are ancient Sumerian hymns that have been preserved to this day that praise her for being able to change men into women and women into men.
00:48:53.840
Her temple servants were often castrato, shall we say.
00:49:03.300
I was a little surprised when I started digging into this.
00:49:05.380
But really, what we're told today is progressive thinking is actually regressive, turning the clock back 5,000 years.
00:49:12.900
I mean, this stuff was old when Moses came down Mount Sinai with the law.
00:49:17.880
And then the third being Molech, who in my book, Second Coming of Saturn, I identify Molech as Milcom.
00:49:26.040
The prophets and the chroniclers in the Old Testament connected Milcom of the Ammonites to Molech, who Moses was warned as far back in the 15th century B.C.
00:49:40.540
Well, when you start pulling on those threads and looking at what the academics have written about it, this entity, you start finding that,
00:49:47.780
Okay, this entity was apparently known by the Akkadians as Malik in ancient Ebla and in Ugarit.
00:49:58.460
Milcom is just the Ammonite way of saying king, like Melech in Hebrew.
00:50:03.520
But because there's no vowels in these languages, it could be Melech, it could be Malek, Malak, which is a messenger angel,
00:50:11.300
or it could be Molech, which is the Hebrew way of changing the vowel sounds to turn a name into a pejorative,
00:50:17.980
as Baal was turned into Bosheth, meaning shameful thing, or Asherah becomes Ashtoreth.
00:50:24.520
So Molech was simply Milcom by a different name.
00:50:28.980
But Milcom, king, was just what the Ammonites called the Canaanite creator god El.
00:50:34.680
And from there we get all these connections from the classical world.
00:50:37.800
The historians of the Greeks and the Romans and the Phoenicians knew that El was just Kronos and Saturn and Baal-Haman by a different name.
00:50:46.440
And we also know that he was Dagon of the Amorites, Enlil of the Akkadians and Babylonians.
00:50:52.800
So wait a minute, suddenly Molech is these things, and he's the one who was sent to the netherworld.
00:50:59.520
Because again, in Second Coming of Saturn, I explain why I believe he was the leader of that rebellion in Genesis chapter 6, Shemyaza.
00:51:06.440
And he's then as the king of those in the bottomless pit.
00:51:10.140
And we know there are angels in the bottomless pit, according to Peter, 2 Peter 2, verse 4.
00:51:14.740
Like the king of the Titans, Kronos, or Saturn, this entity, Shemyaza, will come out as the destroyer, Abaddon, Apollyon.
00:51:24.360
So you've got those three appear to be the unholy trinity, if you were.
00:51:28.720
The destroyer, Molech, the storm god, the king of the pantheon, Satan, Baal, who was known as Zeus to the Greeks, Jupiter to the Romans, Thor to the...
00:51:41.800
Which is really disappointing, because I think his movies are hilarious.
00:51:44.280
Well, actually, I don't want to cut you off, but...
00:51:49.100
And again, you've got this fallen woman, Ishtar Inanna Astarte Aphrodite, as the woman who rides the beast.
00:51:54.280
As you were saying, El, referring to Moloch, I started thinking about Superman, and I started thinking about...
00:52:02.960
Yeah, all of the superheroes now that are deified in Marvel movies.
00:52:07.600
So they're represented in this generation, right at the forefront, but on TV.
00:52:13.560
And explicitly in The Eternals, which was not one of the bigger MCU movies, but yeah, absolutely.
00:52:20.480
Thor is depicted as a god, and you get all kinds of other entities.
00:52:26.560
I mean, Thanos, the Mad Titan, it's basically derived from Thanatos, which is the Greek word meaning death,
00:52:32.980
but Thanatos is the rider on the pale horse in Revelation 6.
00:52:36.840
That's fascinating, because Thanos in the comic series actually has a relationship with death.
00:52:42.340
Death is depicted as a female character, and they have a love interest going on.
00:52:48.980
So this is something that is highly obscure within the conspiracy community.
00:52:56.760
We all see these elements of what you would call Saturnian worship, right?
00:53:02.580
And so this is best represented by images or symbols like the black cube,
00:53:09.420
which people say if you take this black cube, you stand it on its end, or corner rather,
00:53:15.600
and you look down on it, it creates the hexagonal shape that would be the same shape
00:53:20.120
as this perpetual storm on the north pole of the actual celestial body, Saturn.
00:53:27.560
And it seems to have elements embedded in a lot of different religions.
00:53:36.240
But whenever you try to get a grasp on what it all means, it becomes very hidden and obscured
00:53:46.420
Do you think you could explain that a little bit to us?
00:53:49.540
This connection between the actual celestial body of Saturn, this connection of Saturn to Kronos,
00:53:56.920
Kronos being this Titan, well, really it was Kronos and Gaia, I believe, who birthed all
00:54:08.680
So there is a connection, though, between Kronos and time, right?
00:54:14.720
There's also a connection between, is it, well, why don't you walk us through this so I don't
00:54:21.240
Again, it's what you call a homonym, you know, words that sound the same, but they don't mean
00:54:29.040
Scholar named Dr. Nicholas Wyatt, University of Edinburgh, points out that the name Kronos
00:54:35.500
probably derives from a Semitic root, which, again, makes sense because the Greeks got
00:54:39.800
their religion from Israel, from the region around Israel, from the Amorites, the Canaanites.
00:54:46.640
There were Greeks in contact with the land of Canaan centuries before Moses and Joshua
00:54:55.100
They were the Hivites, H-I-V-I-T-E, of the Bible.
00:54:58.400
That is a Hebrew or Hebraization of a name that was applied to people who lived in the
00:55:07.560
south coast of what is now Turkey, the Ahiyawa, the Ahiyawa that became Hivite in the Bible.
00:55:17.700
Luvian was an Anatolian language related to Hittite, I believe, for the Mycenaean Greeks.
00:55:24.220
So, the Hivites were in and around the land of Canaan and the people who came in in the
00:55:32.060
14th century B.C., Joshua and the Israelites, for centuries.
00:55:36.720
So, it's not a surprise that they were in contact with the Amorites and the Canaanites
00:55:41.000
and that these religious ideas were shared from Mesopotamia to Greece and then later to
00:55:52.720
And, of course, because I started down that explanation, I forgot what the original question
00:56:01.640
It's how do we unpack this idea of, you know, even the biblical verses when it comes to describing
00:56:13.060
And that's the reason I wrote the second coming of Saturn, because it seemed to me that this
00:56:17.260
entity, Shem Yaza, if he was so important that he and his colleagues were sent to the
00:56:22.120
abyss, the bottomless pit, while Satan is still roaming around, like, wait a minute,
00:56:26.700
I thought Satan was the most dangerous spiritual enemy of God, but these others are in chains
00:56:34.160
If they're locked up while Satan's roaming around, are they even more dangerous?
00:56:37.040
And I think the answer to that question is, yeah.
00:56:42.120
So this entity is still influencing the world to this day.
00:56:46.500
I mean, the number one cause of death on planet Earth for the last four or five years, for
00:56:50.480
which I've checked data, is abortion, the sacrifice of children.
00:56:55.940
This is an ancient practice among the Amorites.
00:56:57.860
It was not uncommon for them to sacrifice children.
00:57:05.500
There's a kind of a reference to it in the book of Joshua, where the gates of Jericho were
00:57:09.860
rebuilt at the cost of the sons of the builder.
00:57:14.560
But we know from Egyptian inscriptions that the Canaanites, there are a couple that show
00:57:19.720
an Egyptian attack on the Canaanite city of Ashkelon.
00:57:24.040
And this is somewhere around 1400, 1300 BC, somewhere in there.
00:57:29.720
But it's clear that the Canaanite defenders on the walls are sacrificing their children.
00:57:34.240
We see this in the story of Jehoshaphat and the king of Moab, Misha, who sacrifices his
00:57:38.820
son on the walls of his city during the battle.
00:57:41.980
So this was a common thing in the ancient world.
00:57:44.660
And the classical historians during the Greco-Roman period noted that the Phoenicians, who were just
00:57:50.920
descendants of the Amorites and the Canaanites, were well known for this.
00:57:56.460
One of the early church fathers wrote that, hey, look, you know, Kronos, according to the
00:58:00.900
story, she was the youngest of the children of Oranos and Gaia.
00:58:05.280
And he castrated his father, Oranos, to become king of the Pantheon.
00:58:12.900
But then it was prophesied that because you've done this, you're going to be overthrown by your
00:58:16.960
So he swallowed all of his children as they were born.
00:58:20.800
And when child number seven came along, Rhea, Kronos' wife, finally, I think, detected a
00:58:26.740
pattern at last and slipped him a stone instead of Zeus.
00:58:30.720
And Zeus was raised in secret on the island of Crete.
00:58:33.320
When he became an adult, he tricked Kronos into eating something that made him vomit up
00:58:38.820
And then a war began between the Olympians and the Titans.
00:58:43.380
So, but even with this, Kronos, because he was known for eating his own children, well
00:58:48.700
known in the ancient world for demanding the sacrifice of his followers' children.
00:58:53.180
There was an epithet discovered of Kronos by archaeologists here within the last, I don't
00:58:59.720
But it's Kronos Technophagos, which is Kronos, child eater.
00:59:03.180
Remember, Baal Haman of the Phoenicians, they found the Tophets at Carthage with a couple
00:59:07.540
thousand infants between the ages of like six months and 18 months, and they did not
00:59:13.760
We visited the Tophet at the Phoenician site of Tauros on the island of Sardinia.
00:59:19.780
It was a well-known practice in the Mediterranean world.
00:59:22.340
The Phoenicians were infamous for sacrificing their children to this entity, Baal Haman, Kronos,
00:59:29.540
Like, this is a very ancient practice, and to this day, he is still influencing the world
00:59:33.820
and influencing this idea that children are just expendable.
00:59:37.660
It's just we now do it in a clinical setting, and we call it a procedure instead of a sacrifice.
00:59:42.920
This is what happens when you've been stripped of your spiritual understanding, which we keep
00:59:47.440
Recently, Tucker Carlson was on somebody's show talking about how he thinks that, and say
00:59:52.460
what you will about Tucker Carlson, but I do agree with these sentiments that in the
00:59:55.280
West we've been stripped of our understanding of the spiritual realm, and that seems to be
00:59:59.620
And it's incredible that what we've done is, I like the way that you put it, it's like
01:00:08.500
It's a nuts and bolts logistical event instead of a spiritual one, but it's not.
01:00:14.760
And besides the fact that, and this is something that Toph brings up on the show constantly,
01:00:18.520
and I agree with him, it's like we are engaging in mass ritual sacrifice of children here in
01:00:28.380
In the heat of battle, your squad relies on you.
01:00:34.400
Dominate every match with next-level speed, seamless streaming, and performance that won't
01:00:39.040

01:00:44.060
Upgrade to smooth, high-quality streaming with Intel Wi-Fi 6E, and maximize game performance
01:00:58.340
The underlying thing that goes, or sort of the backdrop to that, is that it's still happening
01:01:02.820
as well in this sort of human trafficking aspect, going back to what I mentioned earlier about
01:01:07.680
the Epstein's Island, which, you know, Epstein on his island had a temple.
01:01:16.760
There are videos that emerged on the internet of children in sort of a spa scenario wearing
01:01:25.220
It was very much, you know, Greek architecture.
01:01:28.360
And there was even the presence of a golden statue of an owl of Minerva.
01:01:40.260
In fact, when people turn their nose up to this concept, but it's still very clear that
01:01:50.220
if you look at the elites of the world, they are engaging in the idolatry of these entities.
01:02:03.640
People kind of go, oh, well, they're just, it's almost like it's a LARP, right?
01:02:14.900
But it's like, no, this is still what runs the world in many ways.
01:02:19.860
That expression from Ecclesiastes, there's nothing new under the sun.
01:02:26.000
That's the sentiment that I, it gets driven home every day.
01:02:28.720
Yeah, and the children who aren't, you know, terminated before they see the light of day.
01:02:33.460
And sadly, in some, among some population groups here in the United States, the chance
01:02:39.160
of a child being born alive rather than being terminated is, is less than 50-50, which is
01:02:45.640
And then those who are brought into the world then are offered up to Inanna, Ishtar, and
01:02:54.820
So it's, it is really returning to the, the, the veneration and the practices, even if
01:03:00.140
the people don't recognize it, of these old deities, their influence is still being felt.
01:03:10.760
Shem Yaza, in other words, Molech or Abaddon, Apollyon, the destroyer.
01:03:16.500
And in the second coming of Saturn, I go through the steps and show why I reached that conclusion.
01:03:22.380
Solomon, in the 10th century BC, put a high place to Molech on the Mount of Olives, which
01:03:28.480
is just across the Kidron Valley from the Temple Mount.
01:03:30.880
It's 200 feet higher, so it looks down onto the Temple Mount.
01:03:33.840
If you've ever been to Jerusalem, it's a great overlook.
01:03:36.380
You look down from the Mount of Olives, you see the Temple Mount, the Dome of the Rock,
01:03:40.980
In the day, that would have been Solomon's Temple.
01:03:44.140
And he put a high place to Molech on top of the Mount of Olives.
01:03:48.320
And according to 2 Kings, and I don't have the verse in front of me here, but in 2 Kings,
01:03:53.080
it said, this is why it's referred to as the Mount of Corruption.
01:04:07.500
It's just the English translators didn't know what to make of it.
01:04:09.760
But Moshkith, elsewhere in the scriptures, is translated as destroyer.
01:04:17.800
And, of course, the destroyer, Abaddon, is what comes out of the abyss in Revelation 6.
01:04:30.520
It's not a theological hill I'll necessarily die on,
01:04:33.120
but I think you've got this entity who was considered so dangerous, led a rebellion that was considered so dangerous
01:04:38.680
that God had him locked up in the abyss, according to Peter and Jude, until the judgment.
01:04:46.540
Why would this entity then be considered so dangerous that when he comes out, he's literally called the destroyer?
01:04:54.560
The suggestion that the Mount of Olives was called Mount of the Destroyer.
01:04:59.600
Our friend Rabbi Zev Porat said, yeah, that's a good translation for that.
01:05:03.800
In fact, probably better than Mount of Corruption for the Mount of Olives.
01:05:08.380
You know, connected to the high place, to Molech.
01:05:11.360
Looking down on the temple after Solomon built it.
01:05:16.360
I mean, God himself appeared to Solomon after he built the temple.
01:05:21.740
But what's interesting is when you look at the life of Jesus, the last week of his life,
01:05:25.220
he spent dividing his time between teaching in the temple and preaching on the Mount of Olives.
01:05:32.200
In fact, the Olivet Discourse, Matthew 24, where he gave his longest discourse on what would happen in the end times.
01:05:40.360
As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
01:05:44.880
It's like he was right there on a mountain that Solomon had, knowingly or unknowingly,
01:05:50.080
dedicated to this dark god, Molech, Shemyazah, the destroyer.
01:05:55.320
Jesus is saying, here's what's going to happen in the last days.
01:06:05.640
And maybe for you it's not a mystery, but certainly for the general public,
01:06:08.900
this is something that's been a point of conversation lately.
01:06:12.560
But when it comes to this idea of taking up the tabernacle of Molech and then the star of your god Remphan, right?
01:06:22.860
And we're talking about, it seems we're talking about the star of David or more, maybe more accurately, the seal of Solomon.
01:06:30.800
Yeah, let me address that because I've had people ask about that.
01:06:36.580
It's a very important line, and it raises a lot of speculation.
01:06:42.840
Yeah, it's a reference back to the book of Amos and a reference to Succoth, which was a minor Babylonian deity,
01:06:50.740
and another one called Kayamanu, which was represented by the planet Saturn in the Pantheon, or in the night sky.
01:06:57.780
Anyway, but so when Stephen was making mention of this, the Tent of Molech, which is possibly a reference to Succoth, Succoth, the booth, the tabernacle,
01:07:08.160
it has been interpreted by some as evidence that the six-pointed star of David is the star of Remphan.
01:07:22.020
There is absolutely no representation of the star of Remphan anywhere in the ancient world.
01:07:29.860
Archaeologists have not found a single depiction of this.
01:07:33.900
Every depiction of this that you've seen on the Internet of the so-called star of Remphan is Internet-level research.
01:07:39.960
Somebody finding the star of David and saying, look, there's the star of Remphan.
01:07:44.980
Nobody knows what the star of Remphan looks like because they've never found one.
01:07:49.480
We don't even know if it was even depicted anywhere.
01:07:54.100
It's mentioned one time in the Bible, and this has been blown up by people who are looking for reasons to dismiss the state of Israel
01:08:02.640
as a Luciferian plot by the Rothschilds, the Illuminati, the Freemasons, the Vatican, whatever.
01:08:09.400
And this is proof that they're Luciferian because they're carrying this star of Remphan on their flag.
01:08:16.800
Nobody knows what the star of Remphan looked like, so you cannot definitively connect the star of David to the star of Remphan
01:08:23.180
because we don't know if the star of Remphan had four stars, four points, eight points, five points, six.
01:08:27.400
We don't know because no one has ever seen one.
01:08:31.200
Anyone who says differently doesn't know what he's talking about.
01:08:34.240
So one of the things that people would use to bolster that sentiment is the idea that the center of the star of David
01:08:41.660
or the seal of Solomon is the same shape that you would find on the North Pole of Saturn.
01:08:47.360
What do you think that that, I mean, is that grasping at straws in your opinion?
01:08:51.940
When is the first time we were actually able to see the North Pole of the planet Saturn?
01:09:00.680
Did we know that that storm existed there when the star of Remphan was mentioned by the prophet Amos in, what, the 8th century B.C.?
01:09:11.500
It's not visible to the naked eye, first of all.
01:09:13.720
It's not visible from Earth even with telescopes.
01:09:15.760
You've got to fly a probe up there and point a camera down at the pole on Saturn.
01:09:23.400
Now, people might say, well, yeah, but it was supernaturally inspired.
01:09:28.760
So you're saying the lack of evidence is proof of the conspiracy.
01:09:32.000
No, I think it's looking for reasons to dismiss the restoration of Israel as a nation in 1948 as the fulfillment of prophecy.
01:09:43.140
I think the fulfillment of prophecy, the promises made to the Hebrew prophets like Isaiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah,
01:09:50.700
and others in the Old Testament that Israel would someday be gathered from the nations and brought back to the land was fulfilled in 1948.
01:09:58.020
Now, there were some hidden things that took place to make this happen, but contrary to the conspiracy theories,
01:10:06.200
the things that were hidden are not the hidden work of those trying to make Israel into a reality.
01:10:12.300
Contrary to popular belief, the Rothschilds had very little to do with it.
01:10:16.840
One Rothschild, Edmund de Rothschild of France, contributed some money to help finance a couple of early settlements in the land.
01:10:29.400
We're living comfortably here in Germany and Austria and England and France.
01:10:34.000
As far as I can tell, none of the Rothschilds have ever moved there.
01:10:36.840
And, you know, a couple of them have names here and there.
01:10:40.720
They've contributed some money after Israel became a nation state.
01:10:44.860
Like one of the Rothschilds helped finance the construction of the Knesset building,
01:10:49.440
and another one helped finance the construction of the Supreme Court building.
01:10:53.880
But this was decades after Israel became a reality.
01:10:56.820
So I think there are people looking for reasons to dismiss the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
01:11:05.280
But, again, pointing to the star of Remphan and saying this is proof that the star of David is an evil Luciferian symbol.
01:11:13.240
I'm sorry, there's no evidence there because nobody has ever seen legitimately the star of Remphan.
01:11:18.760
We don't even know if it was ever depicted anywhere.
01:11:22.500
Now, should we just automatically say that everything the government of Israel does is good?
01:11:30.300
There are acts of violence that have been committed by radical settlers in Judea and Samaria against Arab settlements there,
01:11:38.580
and that is absolutely wrong, should be condemned.
01:11:40.620
And, in fact, the government of Israel does prosecute those people who do those things.
01:11:44.080
But when you look on balance at the 1,400-year history of Islam,
01:11:49.800
if you're going to point the finger at Israel as the bad guy in what's been happening in the Middle East since 1948,
01:11:54.940
I'm sorry, you need to recalibrate your moral compass.

Is it fair to call the Star of David the Seal of Solomon?
01:13:31.900
We are planning soon on doing a deep dive on King Solomon,
01:13:38.680
and we've just not done an episode to do the research yet.
01:13:48.580
David and Solomon are two of the best-known historical figures
01:13:54.080
So calling it the Seal of Solomon is a catchy name for it.
01:14:01.660
we've not seen any archaeological evidence in Israel
01:14:07.360
We don't know for sure there was even an Israel
01:14:10.200
or a Judahite kingdom until, say, the 8th century B.C.
01:14:23.360
Now, there have been recent archaeological discoveries.
01:14:39.720
or Israelite outpost, in the 10th century B.C.,
01:14:43.440
indicating that there was a central government,
01:14:49.300
And there have been references to the house of David
01:14:57.520
So the idea that there's no archaeological evidence
01:15:00.920
of David anymore is, that's just not supportable.
01:15:50.260
with the gods who were no longer able to communicate
01:15:54.340
because they'd been thrust down to the netherworld.
01:17:30.140
and this is obviously open for just speculation,
01:17:40.000
I believe it was on their website at one point,
01:18:08.100
again, the Hurrians being an even older culture
01:18:35.840
because they had a very unique style of pottery,
