The Bible’s Greatest Mysteries

Satan and his demonic minions take every opportunity to deceive us. So how can we tell when a near-death experience (NDE) is real? Shaun Tabatt, author of The NDE Conspiracy, shares his nine-point list of criteria for determining when an NDE is real and not just an illusion or a vivid dream. He also tells us the difference between an NDE and a shared death experience, how false memories of past li...

THE SUBJECT of NDEs (Near-Death Experiences) is controversial for Christians who—at least in the West—have been conditioned to avoid talking about the paranormal. Shaun Tabatt has been researching NDEs for years and his new book, The NDE Conspiracy, confronts the topic from a biblical worldview. He explains how the field of NDE research, which was founded by medical doctors, is now dominated by Ne...

Sodom appears to have been the center of an ancient cult that venerated the dead. Dr. Steven Collins, author of Discovering the City of Sodom, explains that there were an estimated 1,500 dolmens, megalithic monuments to the dead, at the base of Tall el-Hammam, the site of Sodom. This is the tightest cluster of dolmens in the Levant, which is home to the densest concentration of dolmens on Earth. H...

Sodom has been found. The evidence is compelling: The location, evidence, and timing of the ruined city found by Dr. Steven Collins some 25 years ago all fit the biblical clues for the identification of the city. In an interview recorded at the International Symposium on Archaeology and the Bible in August of 2022, Dr. Collins, author of Discovering the City of Sodom, explained how political unres...

GOD CONDEMNED high places because that’s where pagans in the ancient world contacted their gods. But when mountains weren’t nearby, humans built artificial ones. Micah Van Huss, author of ‘Ancient Cities and the Gods Who Built Them,’ shows us the parallels between stories of the Greek gods and the Bible, and where the fallen elohim may have taught our distant ancestors things we weren’t supposed t...

Archaeologists Dr. Aaron Judkins and Dr. Judd Burton, authors of the new book Decoding Göbekli Tepe, share their exciting new discovery that connects iconography at “the world’s oldest temple” and the Bronze Age culture of the Luwian people of Anatolia (mode...

YOU HAVE to wonder what the rebellious “sons of God” in Genesis 6 were thinking. Rick Renner ( renner.org ), author of Fallen Angels, Giants, Monsters, and the World Before the Flood, explains that these spirit beings—not the righteous sons of Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve—decided to corrupt humanity, it was a deliberate attempt to fill the earth with their monstrous progeny.

WE’VE ALL heard how the Persian King Cyrus allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem. But the story isn’t quite what you’ve been told. Ancient texts confirm that the last king of Babylon, Nabonidus, moved the idols of most of the gods of Mesopotamia and the priests needed to care for them into Babylon ahead of the Medo-Persian invasion. Nabonidus believed this would bring Babylon under the protectio...

GOD DELIVERED a message of doom to the regent of Babylon, Belshazzar. And He did it in a way everyone in Babylon would understand. We continue our analysis of Daniel 5 and the writing on the wall, an episode so famous that it’s become a catchphrase for something so obvious that it can’t be missed. Last week, we explained how God’s divine intervention of Belshazzar’s drunken feast was not only dire...

THERE IS MORE to the story of the supernatural writing on the wall of the king of Babylon’s palace than you’ve been told. This week, we begin examining one of the most mysterious and spectacular events of the Old Testament—the message from God to the regent of Babylon, Belshazzar. According to ancient records, Babylon was captured by Cyrus II, king of the Medes and Persians, in 539 BC on the eve o...

Proof that we live in the most prophetic time since the first coming of Jesus may be something in your hand or pocket right now. Pastor Carl Gallups, best-selling author of Eyes to See and The Yeshua Protocol, explains how the explosion in human knowledge and our ability to travel was foreseen by a prophet in the heart of the Babylonian empire more than 2,500 years ago.

David described the Crucifixion is startling detail a thousand years before it happened—and saw spirits at the foot of the cross from the land believed to be the entrance to the netherworld. Carl Gallups , author of The Yeshua Protocol and Eyes to See, joins us to explain the connections between David’s messianic prophecy in Psalm 22, which Jesus quoted from the cross, the “forbidden chapters” of...

IT’S SOMETHING no rabbi would ever have done, and it almost certainly never occurred to Moses, either. Pastor Carl Gallups ( CarlGallups.com ), author of The Yeshua Protocol and Eyes to See, explains how the hidden imagery of the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet embeds a picture of the three crosses on Calvary, representing Jesus and the two men crucified on either side of him, in the very first verse of the...

One of the most fascinating chapters in the Bible is Psalm 82, which reads like a courtroom scene in heaven. Dr. Michael Heiser, author of A Companion to the Book of Enoch, Vols. 1 & 2, identifies the “gods” whose deaths are decreed by God, explains the divine council concept and what it does, and why Jesus wasn’t talking about humans when he quoted Psalm 82:6 in John 10:34.

Who or what are the “powers and principalities” Paul warned us about? Are they angels or demons? Who are the “Watchers,” and are they good or bad? This week, we answer more viewer questions about the unseen realm.

Who were the Watchers? What’s the difference between a cherub and a nachash? Is Lucifer another name for Satan? Join us this week as we answer some viewer questions about the denizens of the spirit realm.
