A View from the Bunker

IT TAKES a unique personality to carve out a unique career path in a field that doesn't generally pay well to begin with.  Bill Koenig took a degree in Communications from Arizona State University and in 1996, when the Internet was still a new thing, created his own online news and analysis site.  Today, Koenig International News and WorldWatchDaily draw readers and email subscribers from all 50 s...

PROPHECY SCHOLARS have studied, wondered, and debated for more than two thousand years about the identity of the End Times political and religious leader called the Antichrist.  His places of origin include Europe generally, Rome specifically, and even Assyria.  But what if the Antichrist actually emerges right here in the U.S.A.? Doug Woodward has co-authored a new book with the men behind The Tr...

WARS AND rumors of wars; nation shall rise against nation. Jesus told his disciples that those were signs of the End Times (Matthew 24:6-7). Many prophecy students read the verses as referring to the same events. But what if they are to be taken as separate periods of time? David Brennan, author of The Israel Omen and The Israel Omen II, explains why verses 6 and 7 of the 24th chapter of Matthew s...

HARDLY A day passes without news of unrest and violence in the Middle East.  To help understand the prophetic implications, we turn to the founder of Prophecy Depot Ministries and the author of the best-selling Isralestine: The Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East, Revelation Road, and his latest, Psalm 83: The Missing Prophecy Revealed – How Israel Becomes the Next Mideast Superpower, Bil...

THE TIMES are quickly changing, and trying to get a handle on where we're going is no easy task.  So we brought together three of the brightest young minds in Bible prophecy scholarship for a round table discussion on the road ahead. In a late-night session recorded at the Prophecy Summit, Ken Johnson ( www. BibleFacts.org ), Exo Vaticana co-author Cris Putnam ( www. LogosApologia.org ), and Doug...

OUR GUEST tonight is the only woman speaking this weekend at the Prophecy Summit at Pikes Peak. That just happens to be Sharon K. Gilbert, author of The Armageddon Strain, Winds of Evil, and Signs and Wonders, as well as chapters for the Tom Horn books Pandemonium's Engine ("Dragon's Breath") and God's Ghostbusters ("Your Brain on Virtual Sin"). Sharon graduated with a top-honors degree in biology...

FOR ANYONE interested in prophecy, the upcoming Prophecy Summit at Pikes Peak is a can't-miss event.  Bob Ulrich, Director of Operations for Prophecy in the News, talks about the logistics of pulling together a gathering like this, the speakers, and the range of topics to be covered during the conference. Speakers you can see on the live video stream include Gary Stearman, Tom Horn, Chuck Missler,...

YOUR FUTURE is spending the rest of eternity as the disembodied brain of a holographic avatar, possibly flitting about somewhere in space.  That's one vision of the future from the group assembled at the recent Global Future 2045 World Congress in New York City, a production of the 2045 Initiative. Carl Teichrib, editor of the excellent journal Forcing Change, was there.  He tells us that it's ver...

SO THOUGHT the Roman emperor we know as Julian the Apostate. The historian Ammianus Marcellinus recorded his observation that "no wild beasts are so hostile to men as Christians are to one another." Sadly, Julian was more right than we'd like to admit.  Nothing can set a group of believers to fighting faster than the question, "Pre-, mid-, or post-tribulation?" Joining us to discuss how to disagre...

WHO WOULD have thought to link the "flower power" image of Transcendental Meditation with an organization devoted to establishing a one-world government? Writer, speaker, and documentarian William H. Kennedy, host of Sphinx Radio and author of Lucifer's Lodge: Satanic Ritual Abuse in the Catholic Church, joins us to discuss his new article, "Transcendental Meditation: Fraud, Philandering & Fascism...

WHEN AN honest seeker follows the evidence, it can lead to some surprising conclusions — especially when a hardcore New Ager is seeking spiritual truth. Natalina, publisher of the website Extraordinary Intelligence, describes her journey from the occult to the cross, how it changed her worldview, and how regular readers of her work responded to her new direction. Visit the Extraordinary Intelligen...

WHY IS the world's largest Christian denomination — and world's largest bureaucracy — so interested in the possibility of extraterrestrial life?  (And why did the Vatican name its astronomical observatory LUCIFER — an acronym for the lengthy and rather contrived title Large Binocular Telescope Near-infrared Utility with Camera and Integral Field Unit for Extragalactic Research?) Cris Putnam discus...

IT'S LIKE the Illuminati or the New World Order:  Many of us have heard of Agenda 21 and have a general sense that it's not a good thing, but we don't really understand what it is or how it affects us. Carl Teichrib, editor of the excellent journal Forcing Change, discusses the January issue, which focuses on Agenda 21 — its origins, supporters, and goals, and why those of us out here in Flyoverla...

AN 80-TON boulder in New Mexico raises some intriguing questions: Were people from the Ancient Near East in New Mexico sometime before 500 B.C.? Dr. Aaron Judkins talks about his new documentary, "Hidden Mountain and the Los Lunas Mystery Stone" (also available on YouTube by clicking here) which records his investigation into what may be a Paleo-Hebrew inscription in the New World.  Aaron talks ab...

THE BIBLE is perhaps the most exciting book in history. Gods, monsters, and men — it's all in there, and the cool thing is, it's true. Award-winning screenwriter Brian Godawa (To End All Wars) takes the bones of his Chronicles of the Nephilim series from biblical accounts and fills in the gaps with ancient myths, his fertile imagination, and a visual writing style that make his novels very hard to...

PEOPLE REJECT the Gospel of Jesus Christ when it fails to explain what they see in the world around them.  For some, it's bad things happening to good people; for others, it's the perceived rationality of science; for many, especially the young, it's the lure of video games, movies, and popular music.  Churches need to address the disconnect between the Bible and the "real world". Doug Overmyer, D...

ONE OF the gravest threats to the Christian faith is that too many of its adherents happily ignore the beginning and the end of the Bible. Patrick Wood, editor of The August Forecast and Review, co-author of Trilaterals Over Washington, and founder of RevelationGate Ministries, explains how Christian doctrine stripped of the Creation and the Second Coming is a faith without a purpose — and how glo...

THE AGE-OLD war between good and evil may involve a plan to destroy the basic code that makes us human.  Doug Hamp, author of Corrupting the Image and one of the speakers at the upcoming Chicago Summit 3, joins us to discuss his theory that the fallen angels who rebelled against God may be trying to take humanity down by luring us into rewriting our DNA. Derek and Sharon Gilbert will join Doug Ham...

IN THE beginning, God created Heaven and Earth.  Shortly thereafter, He fashioned man in His image (discussion on what that really means is for another day).  And since then, it appears the non-flesh and blood enemy against whom we contend has been trying to corrupt the genetic code that makes us human. Russ Dizdar joins us to discuss the upcoming Chicago Summit #3, where this assault on DNA, and...

BETTER LATE than never: Conflicting schedules delayed this interview from its hoped-for date in early January. Carl Teichrib, editor of Forcing Change, published a 2013 calendar of globalist events in his December issue. While a couple of those gatherings have already come and gone, Carl tells us what to watch for in the remaining 10-1/2 months of the year and how these exclusive conclaves will af...

WE CHRISTIANS were never promised an easy walk through life. In fact, says Tom Payne, author of The Path: A Guidebook for This Age of Upheaval (also available in Amazon Kindle format), time in the wilderness is essential to our spiritual growth. Tom explains how the Jewish calendar of feasts, from Passover to the Feast of Tabernacles, foreshadows the journey of spiritual growth we take from unsave...

AS IT'S written in the book of Ecclesiastes: What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. So it wasn't a huge surprise to discover that the new novel by award-winning screenwriter Brian Godawa, essentially a retelling of the story of the ancient Sumerian king Gilgamesh, deals with themes that are very familiar to us in the 21st...

WITH LESS than two weeks before the alleged Mayan Doomsday on December 21, we talk about apocalyptic prophecy with Cris Putnam, co-author of Petrus Romanus: The Final Pope is Here and a featured guest on the History Channel series Countdown to Apocalypse.  (View the episode Prophets of Doom by clicking here.) Why do so many prophecies seem to point to this time in history as a turning point?  Whic...

HOW WOULD you respond to the news that life exists elsewhere in the universe?  More to the point, how would your view of the Bible change if ET landed on the White House lawn tomorrow? Those questions are central to the plot of The Facade, the thought-provoking novel by Dr. Michael Heiser, academic editor for Logos Bible Software and a scholar of Biblical Hebrew and ancient Israelite and Egyptian...

WHAT WOULD you get if Chuck Missler, Chris White, and Dr. Future formed a rap group?  It might sound something like Destiny Lab. We talk with Arkalogik (known as Dave Britton to his friends), a lyricist and rapper who partners with Genetix to create what is probably the most unique music you've ever heard.  He talks about the inspiration that led to Destiny Lab, why he and his partner use this mus...
