Unraveling Revelation

TECHNOLOGY AND GEOPOLITICS are coming together to build the infrastructure for the prophesied global government. We discuss surveillance technology, Central Bank Digital Currency, the G20’s response to China’s Belt and Road Initiative, Africa’s “coup belt,” and the role of the Great Prostitute, Inanna/Ishtar, in assembling the Beast System.

THE OLD GODS of the Greeks and Romans, the Titans, were a violent bunch. According to the story, they were defeated by Zeus/Jupiter and the Olympian gods and banished to Tartarus. That tale echoes older accounts of the “former gods” of the Hittites and Hurrians and the Anunnaki of Mesopotamia, who, like the Titans, had once ruled the cosmos but had been supplanted by a younger generation of gods a...

THERE IS PROPHECY in Isaiah 14, the chapter with the famous verse, “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning.” While most read it as either a condemnation of the king of Babylon or “Lucifer,” it is also a prophecy of the future destruction of the rebellious “sons of God” from Genesis 6:1–4. The entity called “Lucifer,” Enlil (AKA El, Molech, Dagon, Assur, Kronos, Saturn, Shem...

CELEBRATING THE BIRTH of Jesus has become controversial—for Christians. There is no question that unbiblical traditions have become part of the holiday. But contrary to what you may have heard, the holiday was not established by the early church to “christianize” a pagan holiday. We explain how the early church settled on December 25 (and January 6) as Christmas Day, and why, based on solid academ...

OUR 2023 TOUR of Israel featured a visit to Gilgal Refaim, the “Wheel of the Giants” on the Golan Heights. Why did we go there, and why is it relevant to our study of end times prophecy? We share video of our visit to this fascinating site that some call “Israel’s Stonehenge.” That really does Gilgal Refaim a disservice, because it’s much bigger and much older than Britain’s famous megalith. The m...

The death of the pagan gods has been decreed. End times prophecy is about how that sentence will be carried out. Dr. Michael Heiser, a good friend and excellent scholar who passed into glory February 20, 2023, joined us in the summer of 2021 to discuss the divine council—what it is, where we find it in scripture, and why Psalm 82, contrary to the interpretation of most Bible teachers, is a courtro...

Verses mentioning Mount Hermon and the land of Bashan are sprinkled throughout the Bible. To Israelites during the Biblical Period, they were obvious references to the land of the dead. Bible scholar Dr. Michael Heiser, who sadly passed away February 20, 2023 at the age of 60, joined us for an interview in 2021 and explained why Bashan and Hermon were important, and why Jesus deliberately traveled...

Jesus descended into the abyss to declare victory over the spirits who disobeyed “in the days of Noah” (1 Pt. 3:20), a reference to the “sons of God” from Genesis 6. Bible scholar Dr. Michael Heiser, in an interview recorded in July 2021, explains why this passage in 1 Peter 3 is so profound, why the apostle connected it to baptism, and how it was influenced by the Book of 1 Enoch.

The weird parts of the Bible are important! So says scholar Dr. Michael Heiser, author of The Unseen Realm, Angels, Demons, and Reversing Hermon. As you know, Mike was called home by the Lord in February of 2023. While Derek recovers from surgery, we’ll feature Mike over the next four weeks from an interview recorded in July of 2021. This week, Mike discusses the controversial passages in Genesis...

THE WARS of Antichrist will be fought in the heavens as much as on Earth—and the objective is determining who’s resurrected at the end of the age. This sounds “out there,” but we have prophecies to back this up: Isaiah 26:13–19 explicitly foretells a day when the Rephaim, the demonic spirits of the Nephilim, “will not arise.” We think this is what Ezekiel meant when he wrote that the Travelers, a...

UTTERMOST NORTH is an English translation of the Hebrew phrase yarkete tsaphon, which actually refers to cosmic north—the location of the palace of Baal. Mount Zaphon is today called Jebel al-Aqra, a mountain in southern Türkiye near the city of Antakya (ancient Antioch). But given that it was believed to be the home of the king of the pantheon worshiped by the pagans of Canaan, references to tsap...

A lot of biblical history took place east of the Jordan River. What role does the modern nation of Jordan play in end times prophecy? This week, we discuss an interesting sequence of events that may unfold during the time of the Antichrist: If Israeli Jews take notice of the references to the “abomination of desolation” in the Book of Daniel (8:13, 9:26–27, 11:31, and 12:11) and they flee to the m...

THE PRECISION of prophecy is stunning. For example, David saw the crucifixion a thousand years before it happened. This week, we discuss the startling connections between Psalm 22, the “crucifixion prophecy” of Isaiah 52:10 (and how it is embedded in the name “Yeshua”), and Zechariah’s prophecy of the Day of Yahweh, when our Lord returns and it welcomed by the House of David in Jerusalem.

ONE OF THE MOST MYSTERIOUS places in Israel is the recently identified Serpent Mound of Bashan. It’s three-quarters of a mile long, 20 to 25 feet high, covered with more than 140 megalithic tombs probably more than 5,000 years old, and it’s a quarter of a mile from Gilgal Refaim on the Golan Heights.  With the release of our book ‘The Gates of Hell’ this week, we revisit our discussion of the sign...

BESIDES THE WARS, rumors of war, famines, earthquakes, and nation rising against nation, there are other indicators that the year 2025 may be biblically significant. First, the prophecies of the Essenes of the Second Temple period, who identified 2025 as the beginning of the final 50-year jubilee. In addition, central banks will begin trials of digital assets—virtual money—next year, the beginning...

WITH THE WAR between Israel and Hamas approaching the one-year mark, things have escalated along Israel’s northern border with Hezbollah in Lebanon. This week, we look at prophecies by Amos, Ezekiel, and Isaiah against Tyre, the preeminent city of the Phoenicians in Lebanon, and Gaza, the home city of Hamas today. Both of those cities suffered under the Assyrian invasions of the 8th and 7th centur...

JESUS WARNED US to beware of false prophets and false christs in the last days. We think that a false Gog-Magog war is part of that deception. Why? Prophetically minded Jews are looking for the Messiah at the end of the war described in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39. There are few scenarios we can imagine that are more evil and insidious than deceiving Jews into welcoming the wrong man as the savior...

THE END of the war of Gog and Magog is the battle of Armageddon.  This week, we discuss the parallels between Ezekiel 38–39 and Revelation 19. Jews believe that the Gog-Magog war is the conflict that brings the Messiah to Earth. They’re right, but Satan and his minions may use the current Arab-Israeli conflict, or a future war like it, to deceive religious Jews into welcoming a false Messiah.

GOD REVEALED to the Hebrew prophets that Israel would be scattered to the nations and then regathered. The second half of those prophecies was fulfilled in 1948. Pastor Carl Gallups, author of Eyes to See and Gods of Ground Zero, discusses the prophecies fulfilled by the return of Israel to the land, especially Isaiah 49, in which the prophet foresaw a day when the Jews would say, “The place is to...

WE LIVE in prophetically significant times—the most prophetic era since the first coming of Jesus. Pastor Carl Gallups, author of Eyes to See, joins us to explain why the Bible is unlike any other religious text, why Revelation 3’s “synagogue of Satan” does not refer to modern Israel, and how Israel’s return to the land in 1948 fulfills prophecy—in some cases, precisely.

NEWS HEADLINES are shadows of events in the spirit realm. It’s why Paul wrote, “We wrestle not against flesh and blood.” As the world faces the possibility of World War 3, which we believe could be a false fulfillment of the Gog-Magog war of Ezekiel 38 and 39, we take time to look at what’s happening in the Middle East, and speculate on the identities of the principalities and powers behind the sc...

ARMAGEDDON IS commonly thought to be a battle between the forces of Antichrist and a loyal to God at Megiddo, an ancient city in Israel located at a strategic pass through the Carmel range of mountains. We disagree. While it makes sense from a human perspective, as Megiddo was the site of key battles in history as far back as Pharaoh Thutmose III—probably the pharaoh with whom Moses was raised. Bu...

ARMAGEDDON IS preceded by the destruction of Babylon, an event that brings the world economic system to its knees. It may also be linked to a gruesome event described back in Revelation 14, where an angel first declares, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great,” and a few verses later the “harvest of the earth” results in blood “as high as a horse’s bridle, for 1,600 stadia (about 184 miles).” Is the...

DO GIANTS still exist? Did they ever? Why are we even talking about them in a program about Bible prophecy?  Just after New Year’s Day, a grainy, long-distance video appeared to show an entity some 7 to 10 feet tall which some believe was responsible for dozens of Miami police units being called to the scene.  It wasn’t a giant in Miami, but the spirits of the Nephilim are prophesied to take part...

PAUL WROTE that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood.” So, which principalities, powers, and cosmic rulers over this present darkness are responsible for what’s happening on Earth today? We discuss the Israel-Hamas conflict and the long war for control of the holy ground called Israel, connecting the god of Islam to an ancient entity called Molech and the Destroyer who emerges from the Abyss in...
