A View from the Bunker

WE AMERICANS have no idea of what it’s like to live under constant threat of missile attack, but that’s a fact of life for Israelis. Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz, senior reporter for  Israel365News.com , joins us via video from his home in Katzrin on the Golan Heights to discuss the current situation in Israel, the impact of recent conflicts, and the political dynamics at play.  Adam shares his insights...

WE LIVE in prophetic times. The restoration of Israel in 1948 is evidence of that—but there are some who refuse to accept modern Israel as the fulfillment of God’s promises to the Hebrew prophets.  Ali Siadatan ( ThinkAgainProductions.com ) explores the prophetic significance of current events, particularly in relation to Israel and its role in biblical prophecy. We discuss the pushback from some...

WHAT’S THE DEAL with Mount Hermon? Why has it been sacred to pagan religions for more than 4,000 years?  Joining us to discuss the “mountain of gods” (Ps. 68:15) is our Iron and Myth crew: Doug Van Dorn ( www.douglasvandorn.com ), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, and Dr. Judd Burton ( www. BurtonBeyond.net ), director of The Institute of Biblical Anthropology and author of Interview with the Gi...

WHO BUILT the mysterious megalithic sites that defy what we think we know about our prehistoric ancestors—and why should we care?  Derek Olson ( StargateVoyager.com ) has made a life’s work of investigating megalithic sites around the world like Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid of Egypt, questioning how these massive stones were moved and shaped with primitive tools.  Olson highlights the recent d...

ISRAEL IS on the front lines of a religious and civilizational struggle that goes back 1,400 years.  We visited Israel in May to see with our own eyes how Israelis are dealing with the shock of October 7 and the stresses of the ongoing war. In July, Pastor Niel Peterson invited Sharon and me to gave a talk at Harvest Revival Center in Brookville, Ohio about our takeaways from that visit in May.  T...

WE ARE LIVING in prophetic times. The fact that Iran—ancient Persia—launched an attack on Israel for the first time in history this year is proof. Ali Siadatan ( ThinkAgainProductions.com ) joins us to discuss Bible prophecy and the unique relationship between Persia and the Jewish people throughout history. Our discussion also touches on the Sunni-Shia divide and the alliances formed based on a c...

ONE OF THE MYSTERIES of the Bible is why there are no accounts of priests or prophets casting out demons. Why is that? This is odd because the pagan neighbors of the Israelites knew about demons and had an entire library of rituals and spells for casting them out.  And in the early 1st century, Jesus and the apostles had their hands full casting demons out of people all over Judea and the Mediterr...

DONALD TRUMP, Nikola Tesla, and time travel? The 2024 presidential election is already one of the weirdest in American history. Troy Anderson ( troyanderson.us ) joins us to discuss his forthcoming book The Trump Code that explores the strange relationships between the Trump family, Nikola Tesla, and a series of 19th century novels that seem to predict Donald Trump’s return to the White House—foll...

A CEASEFIRE in Gaza will not bring peace to the Middle East. Those who think otherwise need a lesson in history. Islam is bent on world domination. Not all Muslims aspire to victorious global jihad, but those who follow the teachings of Muhammad the way his immediate successors do. With 1.6 billion Muslims on Earth, that still leaves a sizable remnant willing to pursue his vision of conquest. In M...

PEOPLE SEEK meaning outside of themselves, something bigger that transcends the natural realm and offers answers to the big questions of life. Surprisingly, in our modern age that often means turning to the pagan gods of antiquity. Carl Teichrib ( ForcingChange.org ), author of Game of Gods, joins us to explore the concept of re-enchantment in the modern world, where people are seeking spiritualit...

“THERE WERE GIANTS in the earth in those days.” Those nine words are among the most controversial in the entire Bible. Who or what were the Nephilim? Doug Van Dorn ( www.douglasvandorn.com ), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, Dr. Judd Burton ( www. BurtonBeyond.net ), and Brian Godawa ( www. Godawa.com ), best-selling author of Chronicles of the Nephilim and the theological thriller Cruel Logic,...

WHAT IS a Baptist preacher doing with the website UFOpastor.com ? Pastor Mike Hoggard of Bethel Church in Festus, Missouri ( pastormikehoggard.com ) sat down with us at the Mysteries of the Bibleverse Conference in Cincinnati to explain why the UFO phenomenon is just a modern spin on a very old lie—one with serious implications for the end times. Mike explains that Nordics, Reptilians, and Grays h...

REALITY IS A LOT CLOSER to The X-Files than we’d like to believe. It’s also a lot closer to the future laid out in the Book of Revelation.  David Heavener is putting his vision of what that might look like on the screen with his award-winning series, The Last Evangelist. David, who’s written, produced, and directed the series, discusses his inspiration for what some might find a disturbing vision...

SINCE OCTOBER 7, 2023, the number of Christians speaking out against Israel has been growing. Some of these voices are openly anti-Semitic. Dr. Mike Spaulding ( DrMikeSpaulding.com ), pastor of Calvary Chapel in Lima, Ohio, has written a couple of articles at Harbinger’s Daily rebuking this disturbing spirit. Mike discusses the history of Israel and misconceptions surrounding its existence. We als...

THE BOOK OF 1 ENOCH has had a powerful influence on Christian theology. But it’s more than just an explanation of how the Nephilim came to be in Genesis 6.  The second section of the Book of 1 Enoch, chapters 37–71, is called the Book of Parables by scholars. It was the last section of 1 Enoch to be written, probably completed toward the very end of the 1st century BC. It contains teachings that a...

A DEBATE over the nature and identity of a shadowy group mentioned in the Book of Genesis has divided Christian theologians for the last 1,600 years.  This month, our Iron and Myth roundtable discusses the “sons of God” in Genesis 6:1–4. Were they divine beings or humans? And if they were just flesh and blood, how did their unions with “daughters of men” result in the Nephilim (which we’ll discuss...

IF EVER there was a time for men of valor to rise up and defend the Christian faith, it’s now. Corby Shuey, pastor of Mt. Zion Road Christian Church in Lebanon County, PA, author of For Valor: Defending the Faith for Those of Worth ( https://amzn.to/3VmKIs8 ), joins us to talk about the concept of valor in defending the faith, the importance of defending traditional Christian values, and the criti...

WHEN ARE GODS not gods? When they’re rebranded as human judges or rulers to avoid uncomfortable theological implications.  Brian Godawa ( www. Godawa.com ), best-selling author of the theological thriller Cruel Logic, Doug Van Dorn( www.douglasvandorn.com ), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, and Dr. Judd Burton ( www. BurtonBeyond.net ), author of Interview With the Giant, discuss a Hebrew phras...

IT’S BIZARRE that world opinion has swung against Israel in its ongoing war in Gaza. Less than eight months ago, a murderous death cult swarmed out of Gaza, murdering more than 1,200 and abducting another 200. Yet the tone of media coverage could lead one to conclude that Israel was the aggressor in this conflict. The longer Hamas delays the release of the remaining 130 or so hostages, its only le...

AS THE WORLD hurtles toward the Second Coming, you have a unique mission for our King.  That’s not to say God needs us to wield His sword. He will handle that on His own when the time comes. Meanwhile, discerning your divine mission can help you live with a sense of clarity and purpose while sharing the hope you have in Christ with your family, friends, and colleagues.   Retired U.S. Army Colonel...

YOU CANNOT understand the supernatural conflict described in the Bible if you don’t understand what happened in Genesis 6:1–4.  Gary Wayne joins us to discuss  The Genesis 6 Conspiracy Part 2 , a well-researched and detailed sequel to his best-selling book. We explore the Genesis 6 event, the importance of understanding prehistory and giants in relation to end time prophecy, and the distinction be...

THERE IS A RISING TIDE of anti-Semitism in the body of Christ. It's time for believers to address this issue.  Mark Sutherland ( MarkSutherland.org ) joins us to discuss the geopolitical struggles involving Israel and the rise of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. We examine the importance of understanding biblical prophecies and the significance of Jerusalem in these events.  We also address irres...

THE PSALMS are often polemics directed at the gods of the pagan nations around Israel. Case in point is the subject of this month’s Iron and Myth roundtable, Psalm 29.  Dr. Judd Burton ( www. BurtonBeyond.net ), author of Interview With the Giant, Brian Godawa ( www. Godawa.com ), best-selling author of the new novel Cruel Logic, and Doug Van Dorn ( www.douglasvandorn.com ), author of Giants: Sons...

MYSTERY BABYLON of the end times is the return of Babel.  This shouldn’t surprise us—the Hebrew words bab el (from Akkadian bab ilu, meaning “gate of gods”), translated Babylon, are the same words rendered “Babel” in Genesis 11. Tyler Gilreath, author of the new book Gate of the Gods, explains why the connections between Babel and Babylon are much deeper than just linguistics. Here's the link to '...

YOU’VE HEARD OF the universe and the multiverse—but what about the unexplained mysteries of the Bibleverse?  Micah Van Huss, host of Marginal Mysteries for Southwest Radio Ministries, is one of the featured speakers (along with Derek) at the upcoming Mysteries of the Bibleverse Live Event June 7–8, 2024 in Cincinnati. We discuss Micah’s books Ancient Cities and the Gods Who Built Them, Secret Soci...
