ONE OF the most enigmatic characters in the Bible is a man who literally sold his birthright for a bowl of beans. We refer, of course, to Jacob’s brother Esau, about whom the Bible doesn’t say much else except that he was the progenitor of Edom, southwest of the Dead Sea, a nation that would be a thorn in the side of Israel and Judah for about a thousand years. Justin Brown, host of Prometheus Lens and co-host of The Dig Bible Podcast, joins us to discuss his forthcoming book, The Epic of Esau. Is there more to learn about the brother Jacob tricked out of his inheritance? For example, a Jewish legend about Esau names him as the one who killed the Sumerian king Nimrod, and by so doing, inheriting a magical garment—the one created by God for Adam when he and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden. There is no way to confirm the ancient stories, so at the end of the day we’re left with some valuable lessons from the life of Esau like the importance of humility, repentance, and forgiveness in the face of missed opportunities and bad decisions.

HOW DO YOU replace one of a kind? There was only one Tom Horn. He leaves a legacy, an unparalleled body of work that has opened the eyes of Christians around the world to the supernatural war in which we all play a part. Joe Ardis Horn has taken over as CEO of SkyWatch TV, a role he never imagined for himself when Tom first began to outline his vision for a new kind of Christian television program. Joe tells us how he changed the course of his life from expert dog trainer to hosting and overseeing a cutting-edge media ministry.

The Middle East is in turmoil, but trying to understand the conflict in terms of simple geopolitics doesn’t provide good answers. Iran is using proxies in Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen to attack Israel and pressure the West. But Iran is a Shia nation while its most violent proxy, Hamas, is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, a Sunni group that wants to restore the caliphate—which was based in Turkey. Dr. Timothy Furnish, a scholar of Islamic eschatology, joins us to help untangle the web that binds together Shias and Sunnis, and Persians and Arabs, in their opposition to Israel and the West. We highly recommend Tim’s books Holiest Wars, Ten Years’ Captivation with the Mahdi’s Camps, Sects, Lies and the Caliphate, and The COIN of the Islamic Realm.

DO PLACES EXIST where the veil between this world and the next is thinner—namely, portals? Dr. Judd Burton (http://www.BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview With the Giant, Brian Godawa (http://www.Godawa.com), best-selling author of the new novel Cruel Logic, and Doug Van Dorn (http://www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, and join us to discuss the concept of portals. From Mount Hermon to the Tower of Babel to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, a belief in portals between the supernatural and human realms is ancient and widespread. Do portals actually exist? Can our entertainment choices open us up to spiritual influences? This would all be an intellectual exercise if Jesus hadn’t specifically chosen to declare his divinity at Caesarea Philippi, a location widely believed to be a portal in the ancient world.

A SIGNIFICANT PORTION of liberal America apparently feels the only way to “save our democracy” is by disenfranchising tens of millions of voters. There are movements to keep Donald Trump off the ballot in some 30 states, and congressional Democrats want to disqualify more than 125 Republican colleagues from running for reelection by claiming that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution bars anyone from holding office if they engaged in insurrection—which they define as doing what prominent Democrats like Hillary Clinton did after the 2016 election.

THE WAR between Israel and Hamas began three months ago today. Is this the start of the conflict prophesied in Psalm 83, the Gog-Magog war of Ezekiel 38–39, or something else? ALI SIADATAN (http://ThinkAgainProductions.com), producer and director of the documentary UFOs Angels & Gods, joins us to share his unique perspective on the geopolitical (and theopolitical) situation in the Middle East. What does Iran hope to gain through its proxy militias in Yemen, Lebanon, and Gaza? Why now? And how will a rising movement inside Iran to throw off what some consider a religion led by an invading “Arab god”—Islam—affect the outcome of this war?

ARE WE GUILTY of “majoring in the minors” by talking about the weird parts of the Bible? Studying topics like giants, gods, and dragons in the Bible is important. But does focusing on these subjects detracts from the message of love, grace, and salvation in Jesus Christ? Brian Godawa (http://www.Godawa.com), best-selling author of the new novel Cruel Logic, Doug Van Dorn (http://www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, and Dr. Judd Burton (http://www.BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview With the Giant, join us to discuss the significance of geographic locations and religious context in biblical events. Jesus himself waged war with demons, principalities and powers who rebelled against their Creator. We need a comprehensive theology that includes historical, cultural, and biblical knowledge. Without it, we cannot recognize or understand the devices of the enemy.

IT’S DEFINITELY one of the strangest stories of 2023: Villagers in a remote region of the Amazon rainforest in Peru have been defending themselves against attackers called pelecaras, which translates into English as “face-peelers.” Timothy Alberino (http://TimothyAlberino.com), who lived in that region for a time as a younger man, returned recently to investigate the accounts of seven-foot-tall levitating “aliens,” and he tells us what he found.

ONE OF THE MOST notorious characters in the Bible, and all of history, is a man about which we know almost nothing. Nimrod is blamed for the Tower of Babel and the occult wickedness of Babylon. However, a close reading of the Bible and the history of the ancient Near East doesn’t specifically connect him with either. Some identify Nimrod as the Sumerian king Enmerkar, some as Sargon the Great of Akkad, others as the mythical hero of Uruk, Gilgamesh. How much do we really know about Nimrod? Is there any connection to Semiramis, Tammuz, and Christmas? Doug Van Dorn (http://www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, Dr. Judd Burton (http://www.BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview With the Giant, and Brian Godawa (http://www.Godawa.com), best-selling author of the new novel Cruel Logic join us for our monthly round table to discuss the man, the myth, the legend—Nimrod. Here’s the link to Derek’s paper “https://www.academia.edu/9062169/The_Double_Headed_Eagle_Scottish_Rite_Freemasonrys_Veneration_of_Nimrod’https://www.academia.edu/9062169/The_Double_Headed_Eagle_Scottish_Rite_Freemasonrys_Veneration_of_Nimrod.” This is the BBC News article that got everyone so excited 20 years ago: “http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2982891.stm.” Except that’s not what Dr. Jörg Fassbinder actually said. Fassbinder’s team did a magenetometric survey of the site of ancient Uruk, the city ruled by Gilgamesh probably 5,000 years ago (give or take). They mapped magnetic anomalies in the soil to find the city walls and outlines of buildings in the city. During the survey, they found the outline of a structure in what was formerly the course of the Euphrates River that was similar to the description of the tomb described in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Fassbinder and his team excavated nothing. And yet that BBC story has been twisted and retold so often that it’s now taken as an article of faith that videos with titles like “Gilgamesh Nephilim King FOUND INTACT IN TOMB” are still being produced—and getting about 100 times more views than our program because we stick to actual evidence. Here’s a 2002 story from Radio Free Europe about Dr. Fassbinder’s work with a title that’s more accurate and less clickbait: “https://www.rferl.org/a/1099592.html.” Here are the relevant papers by Jörg Fassbinder: - https://www.asor.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Fassbinder-June-2020-ANEToday.pdf - https://www.academia.edu/38311611/Uruk_Iraq_Magnetometry_in_the_First_Megacity_of_Mesopotamia_Fassbinder_JWE_et_al_2018_NSGG_London_Archaeological_Geophysics - https://www.academia.edu/22188362/Magnetometry_at_Uruk_Iraq_City_of_King_Gilgamesh You can see his work is all with the magnetometer, not the shovel or spade.
