Unraveling Revelation

JUST AFTER New Year’s Day, a strange story from Miami went viral: A grainy, long-distance video appeared to show an entity some 7 to 10 feet tall which some believe was responsible for dozens of police units being called to the scene. Do giants still exist today? Did they ever? Why are we even talking about them in a program about Bible prophecy? Short answers: We don’t know (but it wasn’t a giant...

CHRISTIANS DIGGING into the globalist conspiracies may be unwittingly helping to set up the Beast System—the infrastructure of the one-world kingdom of Antichrist. How is that possible? Many globalist plots allegedly involve men and women “who say that they are Jews and are not,” the “synagogue of Satan” mentioned in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9. Sadly, some Christians interpret those verses from the le...

THE WAR between Israel and Hamas has revealed some beliefs about Israel among Christians that we find surprising. We address an Internet conspiracy theory that claims Israelis are not “real Jews,” but descendants of a Turkic people from a central Asian kingdom called Khazaria that collapsed about a thousand years ago. There is no historic or genetic evidence to support this idea. We also discuss R...

OSIRIS ISN’T mentioned in the Bible—at least, not directly. However, a loanword in Isaiah 14:19 suggests that the prophet Isaiah had the Egyptian god of the underworld in mind. The verse, as it’s translated into English, is confusing: “[B]ut you are cast out, away from your grave, like a loathed branch…” It’s assumed that the word netser, meaning “branch,” was what Isaiah wrote. However, scholar C...

THE REBEL in Isaiah 14 is described as having been “brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit.” This is the same fate suffered by Assur, the “Assyrian Enlil,” in Ezekiel 32—and it’s another reason we connect this entity to the angel of the bottomless pit in Revelation 9:11. We continue our study of Isaiah 14 and its links to the Book of Ezekiel, but this week we look at Ezekiel 32 inste...

ISAIAH 14 is comprised of multiple sections. The first three appear to address the king of Babylon, “Lucifer,” and “the Assyrian.” We think those sections, Isaiah 14:1–27, are directed at a single entity—and it’s not Satan. We continue our prelude to the study of “Mystery Babylon” in Revelation 17. We show the connections between the melek babel, “king of the god-gate,” and the chief deity of Assy...

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...

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...

THE ANTICHRIST’S KINGDOM will not be established by conquest but by law—one suffocating regulation at a time.  This week, we discuss a meeting next May that sounds mundane and boring, the World Health Assembly. At this meeting, however, some 300 proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations will be voted upon by the 194 member states of the WHO. Some of these amendments, which become...

JESUS DECLARED WAR on the demonic realm from the very start of his ministry when he was baptized in the Valley of the Shadow of Death. Yes, it’s a real place. We discuss the kispum ritual of the Amorite neighbors of ancient Israel, its connection to the cult of the dead, the dolmens that surrounded the city of Sodom, the song of Moses in Deuteronomy 32 (repeated in Revelation 15), and Jesus’ bapti...

THE SITE of the climactic scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade may be where Moses (and later, Muhammad) changed the course of human history. We share video from our 2019 visit to Petra, the breathtaking home of the Nabataean Arabs around the time of Jesus’ birth and explain why the beautiful city in the heart of what was ancient Edom is historically and prophetically important.

EVEN THOUGH they lived more than five centuries apart, Elijah and Moses are linked through a connection to the ruined city of Sodom. This week, we revisit one of the most supernaturally charged areas in or near ancient Israel, the plains of Moab below Mount Nebo. Not only is it where the Israelites were severely punished for falling into the worship of a god of the dead, Baal-Peor, it’s the place...

THE WAR in Israel is not unconnected to the one in Ukraine. We revisit a program that originally aired in April of 2022, where we discussed the influence of “Putin’s Rasputin,” Aleksandr Dugin, who believes Russia is destined to control the “world island,” Eurasia—by which he means everything from Ireland to Kamchatka. The conflict in Ukraine may—especially if it widens to include other nations in...

WAR BETWEEN Israel and Hamas was reportedly planned and approved by Iran. What do the ayatollahs hope to gain? Filmmaker and Bible prophecy teacher Ali Siadartan ( ThinkAgainProductions.com ) sees a parallel in the start of this war immediately after the Feast of Tabernacles and the end times prophecy of Zechariah 14, when the nations that survive the last war of the ages will return to Jerusalem...

THE FINGERPRINTS of the ayatollahs are all over the recent outbreak of war between Israel and Iran’s proxy, Hamas. Writer and filmmaker Ali Siadatan ( ThinkAgainProductions.com ), who was raised in a secular home in Iran and came to know Jesus Christ after his family moved to France and then to Toronto, Canada after the Islamic Revolution in 1979, explains the theology and geopolitics behind the c...

BIBLE PROPHECY tells us the Antichrist will come to power with the help of ten kings. We have questions. First, are those kings human? We think not, since this is, after all, a supernatural war between rebellious members of the unseen realm and the Creator. The Antichrist, Gog of Ezekiel 38 and 39, is certainly a supernatural being, although he will work through a human avatar. Why would the ten k...

WHO OR WHAT are the seven heads on the Beast? This week, we compare Revelation 17 and Daniel 7 to identify what the horns represent both past and future. There is a general consensus that the seven kingdoms are Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, and a future nation, possibly a revived Roman Empire, that is the global kingdom of Antichrist. As we noted last week, there are others w...

THE IDENTITY of the Beast and what its seven heads represent are two of the biggest unanswered questions in Christian theology. This week, we begin a study of the seven heads which John was told represent “seven kings, five who have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while.” We present a list of human kings who might fit those clues, but...

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 WOMAN seated on the scarlet beast in the wilderness is called Babylon the Great, “a name of mystery.” The beast is described as a chimera in Revelation 12—part leopard, part lion, part bear. That’s a callback to the beasts of Daniel 7 which, if you include the fourth beast of Daniel’s vision, together have seven heads and ten horns, just like the Beast of Revelation. It’s almost certain that t...

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 eternally 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...

WE OFTEN encounter scriptures we’ve read before that jump out at us this time through the Bible. This week, we hit another one. Inanna, Ishtar, Babylon the Great, Mystery Babylon, Babylon, Yam, Leviathan, Tiamat, In Revelation 17:3, John writes that an angel “carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had...

THE SUMERIAN GODDESS Inanna was called Queen of Heaven as late as the time of the prophet Jeremiah. The Sumerians believed she controlled the keys of human civilization and wanted to rule the underworld, too. We continue our study of the ancient entity also called Ishtar, Astarte, Aphrodite, and Venus as we prepare to dig into Revelation 17, because we believe this entity is what John saw in his v...

INANNA, better known as Ishtar, Astarte, or the Queen of Heaven, has a long history as one of the most popular pagan deities on Earth. We believe she is the fallen spirit known in Revelation as Mystery Babylon. This week, we look at an important aspect of her story—the myth of her marriage to the shepherd-king Dumuzi, known in the Bible as Tammuz. This story has given birth to the Greek tale of Ap...

WE MARK our 200th episode this week by reflecting on one of the most remarkable things we’ve learned about Bible prophecy over the last four years. The so-called “silent centuries” between the books of Malachi and Matthew were not silent after all. Chapters 37–71 of the Book of 1 Enoch, called the Book of Parables by scholars, contain teachings not found in any Jewish writings, including the Old T...
