A View From The Bunker

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 bet...

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 irrespo...

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 of the...

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 Socie...

THE NUMBERS 9-1-1 have a specific meaning for Americans—the numbers one dials to call for help in an emergency. They’re also significant as the chapter and verse in the Book of Revelation that identifies the fallen angel called the Destroyer.  Joining us this week are pastor, author, and acclaimed biblical prophecy expert Paul Begley, host of a popular YouTube show with over 250 million views, and...

SOME OF THE MOST epic stories from the ancient world deal with the wars of the gods. It’s not a coincidence that one of the most commonly used titles for God in the Bible is “Lord of hosts,” which literally means “Yahweh of armies.” Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, Dr. Judd Burton (www. BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview With the Giant, and Brian Goda...

KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR saw a vision that disturbed him so much that he ordered his sorcerers, enchanters, and magicians to tell him what he’d dreamed and its interpretation—on pain of death. Obviously, the Chaldeans of Nebuchadnezzar’s court couldn’t comply with the king’s demand. They were on the verge of being killed when one remembered the Judean named Daniel. Through a revelation of God, Daniel w...

FROM A BROKEN HOME in Guatemala to life as a gangster in Los Angeles, Mondo De La Vega is one of the last people you’d expect to find preaching the gospel. Mondo, Executive Producer of The Jim Bakker Show and host of The Mondo Show, joins us to discuss his new book My Crazy Life, and how his sister Laura, who, through the power of the Holy Spirit, resisted the lure of the false family structure of...

SOMETHING STRANGE has been happening on this planet for literally thousands of years, and it connects an intrusion into our world by fallen angels to modern paranormal phenomena like those reportedly observed at Skinwalker Ranch. Chad Riley of Truthseekers Research, writer/director and host of the documentary film Skinwalkers and Stranger Things of the Unseen Realm, joins us to explain how his res...

TECHNOLOGY TO help you get possessed. It’s out there—apps to guide you in journeys to the spirit realm. And what about the use of mind-altering drugs to open gateways to the unseen realm? Joining us to discuss the intersection of cutting-edge science and technology in the pursuit of contacting the spirit realm are Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com) and Dr. Judd Burton (www.burtonbeyond.net). (...

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 Len...

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...

The Middle East is in turmoil, but trying to understand the conflict in terms of simple geopolitics doesn’t provide a good explanation. 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 Turke...

DO PLACES EXIST where the veil between this world and the next is thinner—namely, portals? 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 of the Gods, and join us to discuss the concept of portals. From Mount Hermon to th...

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...

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 ( 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...

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 ( www. Godawa.com ), best-selling author of the new novel Cruel Logic, Doug Van Dorn ( www.douglasvandorn.com ), au...

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 ( TimothyAlberino.com ), who lived in that region for a time as a younger man, returned recently to investigate the accounts of seven-foot-tall levitat...

ANCIENT SUMERIANS built a tower of mud brick as a portal to the gods. Today, Babel is more high-tech. Author Nick Goss joins us to discuss his new book Unplugging Babel: A Manifesto Against AI, Smartphones, and Social Media . Nick explains why he says smartphone technology and social media have enslaved Christians, tethering us to participation in the coming 'Beast Bystem' of the Antichrist. Our B...

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 A...

WHAT WE CALL “prepping” our grandparents called “life.” We’ve lost those skills—and the knowledge that your neighbors had your back when things got tough. Wyatt Fernow, one of the organizers of the annual Pitchfork and Hoe Gathering in Valley City, North Dakota ( facebook.com/pitchforknhoe ), sat down with me at this year’s event to explain why his father, Rod, came up with the idea for this get-t...

THE THREE big questions of life that have haunted humanity since the beginning of history are still with us today: Where do we come from, why are we here, and what happens when we die? Shaun Tabatt  and Randy Kay have authored three books on near-death experiences (NDEs), accounts of experiences from people who were clinically dead and brought back to life. Shaun joins us to discuss their new book...

A CREEPY DOLL that takes on a life of its own is a well-worn trope in Hollywood horror films. Is there any truth behind this modern urban myth? Dr. Judd Burton (BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview With the Giant and the forthcoming Van Helsing Way, joins us for our annual Halloween show to discuss the spiritual reality behind Hollywood dolls like Chucky (Child’s Play), Annabelle (The Conjuring)...
