Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #414: Proverbs 14LEANING ON OUR OWN understanding is a recipe for disaster. We continue with the theme of the importance of wisdom and willingness to receive correction, summarized in this verse: There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. (Prov. 14:12, ESV) We also discuss grief and its place in the human experience. Until Christ returns, pain will be a part of our journey. It’s a consequence of our fallen world, but it also helps us grow and truly appreciate joy. Sharon’s niece...
2024-06-301h 14Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #410: Proverbs 4–6ANOTHER LONG WARNING against adultery is the theme of this week’s study. As we noted last week, there are two layers to this fatherly warning against dallying with prostitutes or the wives of other men: On the one hand, it’s a path to disgrace, ruin, and death; and on the other, ritual sex was common among the pagans around ancient Israel, and it was forbidden. So, the path to Sheol was not simply a metaphor, it was a warning of the ultimate end of those who reject this wise counsel.—————— Thank you for making our Build Barn...
2024-04-281h 11Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #402: Psalm 119 (Part 1)PSALM 119 is sometimes called the Mount Everest of psalms. Not only is it long, its length is due to its unique construction: It’s an extended alphabet acrostic divided into 22 stanzas, one for each of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Further, each of the eight verses in every stanza begins with that Hebrew letter. For example, the eight verses of the first stanza all begin with alef, the verses of the second stanza with bet, and so on. The overarching theme of the psalm is a contrast between following the ways of Yahweh and the wa...

We continue our review of scriptures that appear to prophesy a coming destruction of the territory around Gaza that was Philistine from the time of the Judges until the Persian conquest of the region in the 6th century BC. We learned this week that the chief god of Gaza, Dagon, continued to be worshiped under the Aramaic name Marna (“lord”, similar to Canaanite baʿal and Hebrew adonai) until the 5th century AD. As Derek showed in his book The Second Comin...
2023-10-151h 20Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #354: 1 Samuel 28–31SAUL’S VISIT to the medium of En-dor is one of the more controversial chapters in the Bible. Does it prove that ghosts are real?We discuss the recent research that shows why the Hebrew word ôb, usually translated into English as “medium,” more accurately means “owner of a ritual pit.” This is a concept that can be traced back through the archaeological record to the ancient Hurrians (the biblical Horites), who originated on the Ararat Plain—the valley below the mountains where Noah’s ark came to rest.Here’s the excerpt from Derek’s book The Second Com...
2022-10-091h 18Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #348: 1 Samuel 15–17THE STORY of David and Goliath is one of the best-known in the Bible. The contrast between the faith of David (in God), Saul (in his armor), and Goliath (in himself) is just one of the lessons to draw from the account.One of the interesting aspects of David’s battle with Goliath is the way the Masoretic Hebrew text, on which our English Old Testament translations are based, includes a big chunk of 1 Samuel 17 that is not in the older Hebrew texts translated into the Greek Septuagint 200-300 years before the birth of Jesus. 1 Samuel 17:12–31 and 55–58 are not in...
2022-07-171h 28Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #347: 1 Samuel 13–14SAUL WAS a flawed man—indecisive, rash, and lacking in faith.Although Saul led Israel to victory over its enemies, mainly the Philistines and the trans-Jordanian kingdoms of Edom, Moab, and Ammon, his insecurity and poor judgment led to God’s decree that the kingship would be stripped from his family and given to another.We discuss Saul’s foolish decision to offer sacrifices rather than waiting for the prophet Samuel, placing himself above God’s priest and showing that he was unfit to lead God’s people.Then we discuss a key battle in which S...
2022-07-101h 17Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #339: Judges 9–10THE SHORT reign of Gideon’s son Abimelech lasted just three years, with a sad end to what was the first attempt to create a ruling dynasty over Israel.Abimelech’s fratricide, killing his half-brothers to become king over Israel, reveals that Gideon, despite saying, “The Lord will rule over you,” did in fact rule as a king. (And Abimelech’s name, which means “my father, the king,” is another clue!) We discuss the work of the spirit realm in sowing discord between Abimelech and his co-conspirators from the city of Shechem.We also discuss the spiritual sign...
2022-04-101h 11Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #325: Deuteronomy 28–29GOD’S COVENANT with Israel was conditional, with blessings for obedience to His commandments and curses for disobedience.Disobedience can be summarized as serving other elohim. The promises of harsh punishment for worshiping other gods may seem extreme to us, but the consequences of following those entities are actually worse than the awful things that God warned would befall Israel the people failed to heed His warning—because those consequences are eternal.Here’s the link to the article Derek mentioned at the end of the study: Scientist calculates precise date of final Aliyah of Jews to Isr...
2021-11-141h 11Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #323: We Wrestle Not Against Flesh and BloodHALLOWEEN CELEBRATES death and the dead. Today, we set aside our schedule of scripture to discuss the spirits and how they’ve convinced humanity that engaging in practices forbidden by God is not only harmless, but profitable and fun.We discuss Santa Muerte’s rise to prominence in Mexico, California’s schools embracing Aztec death cults as “ethnic studies,” and the symbolic and spiritual links between ancient Mesopotamia and the present day.Here’s the link to Derek’s interviews with Tony Kail about Santa Muerte and Mexico’s “narco-cults.” (https://www.vftb.net/?tag=santa-muerte) You can find Tony’s...
2021-10-311h 02Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #321: Deuteronomy 17–20THE PEOPLE in Canaan engaged in what God called “abominable practices”: First, burning a child as an offering to Molech, followed by divination, reading omens, augury, sorcery, enchantment, consulting mediums, necromancy, and inquiring of the dead.Derek argues in his forthcoming that these seven acts, which all involve contacting the spirit realm to gain influence or information, are connected to the worship of Molech, which was another name for the creator-god of the Canaanites El—also known as Dagon, Enlil, Kronos, and Saturn.We believe this Watcher-class elohim is Shemihazah, leader of the rebels on Mount Hermon...
2021-10-171h 20Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #312: Numbers 32-33THE THREE most important things when considering real estate are location, location, and location.This week, we discuss the request of the tribes of Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh to remain east of the Jordan in Gilead and Bashan. Then we recount the stations of the Exodus and explain why certain locations, especially Oboth and Iye-Abarim, were so important.Finally, we run down a rabbit trail connecting the supernatural nature of those locations to research for Derek’s forthcoming book, The Second Coming of Saturn, recent work by Dr. Judd Burton tracing the or...
2021-07-181h 14Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #310: Numbers 28-29THE NUMBER of bulls sacrificed during the annual Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) is unparalleled in any other feast given to Moses by God.This week, we discuss the religious calendar the Israelites were to follow when they entered the promised land, and why the sacrifice of 70 bulls over the seven days of Sukkot was so significant. It wasn’t about slaughtering a lot of beef; it was a message directed specifically at the gods of the pagan nations—the fallen angels who had rebelled against God’s authority.Here’s a link to the fascinating paper by Dr. N...
2021-06-271h 07Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #303: Numbers 11-13IT’S EASY to criticize the Hebrews of Moses’ day for their lack of faith. After all, hadn’t they seen the plagues that compelled Egypt to let them go, the parting of the Red Sea, and the manna that miraculously appeared six days a week?We’re not in their shoes. When we take a good, hard look at ourselves, we see that we’re not all that different.This week, we discuss that complaints of the Israelites that provoked God into sending so much quail to eat that it became “loathsome” to them, followed by “a very gre...

We discuss the duties of the clans of the Levites—the Kohathites, Gershonites, and Merarites—and why it was imperative that only the high priest entered the Holiest Place.We also discuss rules concerning unclean people, confession of and restitution for sins, and a test for adultery that seems odd, if not unfair, by the standards of today.——————Derek is one of the speakers for the Discerning Minds Virtual Conference March 26-28, 2021.

The blessings He promised for obedience were wonderful—harvests in abundance, peace and safety in the land—but the punishments for rebellion were severe.We’re in the middle of a long war for control of God’s creation, Earth, and those He charged with serving as His imagers—God’s moral agents—on it. His instruction to the Israelites at Mount Sinai was intended to show them just how serious is this conflict.We also discuss the Hebrew word translated "idols" and its origin wit...

2021-01-311h 19Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #295: Leviticus 19:19–20SPEAKING WITH SPIRITS was strictly forbidden by God. This might seem to be a quaint and antiquated notion, but the fact that we encounter the prohibition three times in our reading today indicates that this was a serious issue in ancient Canaan.Scholars are not entirely agreed on the meaning of the words translated into English as “mediums” and “necromancers,” ʾobot and yiddeʿonim. There are various terms used by translators, including “spiritists,” “wizards,” “enchanters,” “divining spirits,” and “familiar spirits.” In the context of the culture of Canaan in the time of Moses and Joshua, this was a prohibition on the veneration...
2021-01-241h 14Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #294: Leviticus 17–19:18IT’S ANOTHER weird section of scripture this week, which, as you know by now, means it’s important.In the middle of rules pertaining to sacrifices, God gave this to Moses:So they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to goat demons, after whom they whore. (Leviticus 17:7, ESV)What are goat demons? It’s significant that this warning comes shortly after God instructed Moses and Aaron on the atonement ritual that required a goat be sent into the wilderness for Azazel, who was named as one of the leaders of the Watchers who agreed...
2021-01-171h 12Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #293: Leviticus 16THE SCAPEGOAT is a concept that originated at Mount Sinai.This week, we discuss God’s commandment to send a goat into the wilderness for Azazel, similar rites in northern Syria and southern Anatolia in the days of the patriarchs, and the role of Azazel (or Asael), one of the Watchers who descended to Mount Hermon in the days of Jared, in teaching humanity forbidden knowledge.————Join us in Israel!

2021-01-101h 13Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #292: Leviticus 11-15ISRAEL WAS commanded to be holy because God was literally in their midst. The Law set them apart for Yahweh, distinct from other people.We note that some foods declared unclean, especially pigs, may have been so designated because of their use in pagan rituals (in the case of pigs, as offerings to the dead). However, the bottom line is that God established very specific rituals for washing and sacrificing to maintain holiness—a Law that only changed upon Christ’s ascension to sit at the right hand of God (see Hebrews chapters 7 through 10).————Join us in Israel ne...
2020-12-131h 14Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #291: Leviticus 8-10THE FORMAL beginning of the Levitical priesthood and the sacrificial system is the focus of this week’s study.After going through the rules for the sacrifices in our last couple of studies, this week we discuss the formal ordination of Aaron and his sons.Sadly for Nadab and Abihu, their term as priests didn’t last very long. Leviticus 10 describes their destruction by God for offering unauthorized (or “strange”) fire before the Lord. To be honest, their specific transgression is not named in the Bible; it may be that they hadn’t prepared incense according to the ins...
2020-12-061h 06Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #290: Leviticus 5-7SINS OF omission are just as serious in the Lord’s eyes as those we commit intentionally.We continue our discussion of the detailed laws for the burnt offering, grain offering, sin offering, guilt offering, ordination offering, and peace offering, with a reminder that all of this is just “a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.” (Col. 2:17; see also Hebrews 8:5 and 10:1).Above all, as we begin Thanksgiving week, remember to be thankful that God will still be on the throne come January 21. This has been a trying year for most of us...
2020-11-221h 14Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #289: Leviticus 1-4GOD GAVE very explicit instructions for the slaughter of animals required for the slaughter of animals for required offerings.This week, we look at the first four: burnt, grain, peace, and sin offerings. (We’ll get to guilt offering next week.) We note some of the seemingly random requirements, such as slaughtering the bull for the burnt offering on the north side of the altar, and God’s repeated command to burn the long lobe of the liver, the organ used by pagans in their extispicy and haruspicy rituals to divine the future.————Join us in Israel next...
2020-11-151h 03Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #288: Exodus 38-40THE CONSTRUCTION of the tabernacle is the focus of this week’s study—although, as usual, we follow some rabbit trails that lead us to other parts of the Bible.We compare the number of stones in the high priest’s ephod to the precious stones covering the rebel in Eden, as described in Ezekiel 28. That led us to another discovery—namely, that the Septuagint and some modern English translations, such as the New English Translation (NET), distinguish between the rebel (Satan) and the “guardian cherub,” unlike the ESV and the King James Bible, which identify the rebel as the guard...

We also explain why the famed artist Michelangelo sculpted Moses with horns — it was a translation error that confused Hebrew qaran (“shone”) with qeren (“horned”).Here is a link to Derek’s interview with Andrew Hoy (https://www.vftb.net/?p=8312), a professional engineer and the auth...
2020-11-011h 18Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #283: Exodus 25-26THE ARK OF THE COVENANT is the focus of this week’s study. Contrary to Raiders of the Lost Ark, no, it was not a radio to talk to God.The ark was, in fact, God’s throne. He sat above the mercy seat, between the cherubim—who, by the way, looked more like sphinxes than the effeminate angels typically portrayed by artists.Cherubim, and similar throne guardians such as the lamassu of Assyria and the griffins of Egypt and the Hittites, were well known in ancient Mesopotamia. The Hebrew name of the creatures probably derives from t...
2020-10-041h 08Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #277: Exodus 10-13THE PASSOVER is a milestone in world history. It’s a defining moment in the creation of Israel, and thus, a key event in the natural and spiritual history of the world.We discuss the connection between the Passover and another event of primary importance, the crucifixion of Jesus. We also discuss the cross-pollination of the pantheons of the Amorites (Canaanites) and Egyptians, and why it’s so difficult to draw one-to-one connections between the plagues of Egypt and the Egyptian pantheon. Some of the gods linked to specific plagues (such as Serapis, who’s connected by some to the...
2020-08-161h 14Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #274: Exodus 1-3ISRAEL SPENT 430 years in Egypt. This is recorded in Exodus 12:40-41 and Galatians 3:17. How do we reconcile that with God’s promise to Abraham that his descendants would return “in the fourth generation” (Gen. 15:16), or the four generations between Levi and Moses (Ex. 6:16-20)?We address that, and Derek admits his timeline of the ancient Hebrews needs to be adjusted accordingly. For the record, he now agrees with the plain reading of the 430 years, which places Jacob and his family in Egypt in 1876 BC, which means Abraham arrived in Canaan in 2091 BC.We also discuss Moses’ encounte...
2020-07-261h 09Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #262: Genesis 19:30-22:24HE SURVIVED the destruction of Sodom, but Lot didn’t seem very happy about it.This week, we discuss the aftermath of the fiery destruction of the cities of the plain, which also leveled Jericho, according to archaeologists. Lot and his daughters retreated into the hills and lived a hermit-like existence in a cave overlooking the eastern shore of the Dead Sea. Their isolation led to the incestuous creation of the nations of Moab and Ammon, longtime enemies of Israel in the centuries that followed.Then we discuss Abraham’s deception of Abimelech, the king of Gera...
2020-04-261h 06Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #261: Genesis 18, 19:1-29THE DESTRUCTION of Sodom and Gomorrah was not about alternative lifestyles—and yes, it really happened.This week, we discuss Abraham’s encounter with God and two angels at the Oaks of Mamre near Hebron, a more likely reason for God’s judgment on Sodom, and we explain why the angels warned Lot to “escape to the hills, lest you be swept away”—and why Lot’s wife really was turned into a pillar of salt.Links you’ll want to explore after hearing this episode:* DigSodom.com, the website of the team excavating ancient Sodom (T...
2020-04-191h 14Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #257: Genesis 14A WAR fought near the Dead Sea nearly 4,000 years ago is the focus of this week’s study.After Abram arrived in Canaan and settled near Hebron, his nephew Lot was captured by an army from Mesopotamia that had come to put down a rebellion by the king of Sodom and his allies. We discuss the meanings of the names of the rebel kings, the possible identities of the kings of the east, and the significance of the Rephaim tribes defeated by the kings of Mesopotamia.We also discuss Melchizedek (malki-tsedeq, "my king is righteous" or "ki...
2020-03-221h 11Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #256: Genesis 12-13GOD BEGINS a new phase of His plan to redeem humanity in this week’s study, as Abram is called from his homeland to journey south into Canaan.We explain again why Abram was not from Ur in Sumer, but from a town near modern Sanliurfa in southeastern Turkey. As you can see by the map (click to enlarge), travelling to Canaan by way of Harran makes no sense. And beyond that, there are other cultural reasons that point to Abram’s northern Mesopotamian origins.We also discuss the significance of two of the key sites in t...
2020-03-011h 07Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #255: Gen. 10-11; Deut. 32:8-9BEFORE WE pick up the story of Abraham, some context: When God divided the nations after the Tower of Babel incident, He placed them under the supervision of “sons of God,” angelic beings who were charged with carrying out His will while supervising His creation.We explain why understanding what happened at and after Babel is crucial to understanding the long supernatural war depicted in the Bible, not to mention the state of our fallen world today.Articles mentioned in this week’s study (see links in the notes at www.gilberthouse.org):* “Deuteronomy 32:8-9 and t...

It was at a place that was at least as important in the spiritual sense: Eridu.The Sumerians remember Eridu as the first city, where “kingship” was lowered from heaven, and, most important, it’s where the oldest and largest ziggurat in Mesopotamia was located. That was the temple of the god Enki, the E-abzu—the “House of the Abyss.”It was believed that Enki sent the gifts of civilization to humanity with the apkallu, the Mesopotamian Watchers, angelic beings who were later banished to the abzu by the chief go...

We talk about the symbol of the rainbow, God’s command to Noah and his sons to fill the earth, and His prohibition on eating blood.We also unpack the odd story of the cursing of Canaan (Gen. 9:20-27) and what Ham actually did to bring that curse about his son.

Today, we read the real story behind the flood of Noah.We read the corresponding chapters in the Book of 1 Enoch that expand on Genesis 6:1-4. It was more than just human sin that led to the Flood; the Watchers and their monstrous offspring brought witchcraft, sexual depravity, and even cannibalism to the earth.We also connect the length of time that water covered the earth, including all of the high mountains (places of spiritual significance) to the time allotted to...

That was probably the ancient city of Eridu, home of the god Enki, lord of the abyss, site of the oldest and largest ziggurat in Mesopotamia.We also discuss the pride of Lamech, descendant of Cain, and his boast that his deat...

Jerusalem was open for business on the Sabbath, with people buying, selling, and working through their day of rest.Worse, Tobiah the Ammonite had exploited a family connection to the...

It was a four-month journey, which the Jews undertook without an armed guard, something that was unheard of in a time when caravan raiders were likely to prey on unsuspecting travelers -- especially a group loaded down with more than 30 tons of gold and silver!Then, in Jerusalem, the people confessed to Ezra that many of the Jews, including priests, had married pagan women during the exile.

(Thank you, Marilyn!)We find a wonderful nugget in Moses' directions to the Israelites, based on the intriguing link between the Hebrew word for "cities" and the Aramaic word for "Watchers."Then we move to the climax of the Book of Esther, in which Haman gets his comeuppance, which was more gruesome than you've been taught.

Today we discuss the prophet's vision of the final battle of the age and compare it to Armageddon and the war of Gog and Magog.We also talk about the aftermath, the millennial reign (although Zechariah doesn't call it that), and the final world order, when God rules and reigns over the entire world from Jerusalem.-----Our free mobile app for iOS and Android brings these studies right to your smartphone or tablet!

We speculate on the significance of the directions in which the chariots were sent (two to the north, one to the south, and another to patrol the whole earth), and the symbolic and spiritual connections between Zechariah's...

Somewhat surprisingly, the people listened! We discuss the prophetic aspects of the messages given to Haggai and Zechariah, and compare them to the actions of the nascent Sanhedrin today.Here is the link to the 3-D video walkthrough of the Temple Institute's planned Third Temple: https://youtu.be/kMIxZc_SKFo-----Our...

2018-12-091h 10Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #213: Daniel 11THE END of the 11th chapter of Daniel reads like a prophecy of the wars of Antichrist. Since the first 35 verses of that chapter are a prophecy of wars that were over the Holy Land in the two centuries before the birth of Jesus, concluding with Antiochus IV and his abomination of desolation, this analysis makes some sense.We revisit last week's study of Daniel 11:1-35, and then spend the rest of the study on the last ten verses of the chapter.

It's especially fascinating because the history recorded here was written in advance.Daniel was shown a vision of the wars that would rage across the land formerly held by Israel during the 3rd and 2nd centuries B.C. following the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C. Kingdoms established by two of Alexander's generals, Ptolemy I Soter and Seleucus I Nicator fought back and forth over the Levant for more than a century, and Daniel recorded the prophecy of those wars so precisely...

2018-11-111h 10Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #209: Daniel 5TODAY WE discuss the fall of Babylon. It wasn't just divine punishment for the hubris of King Belshazzar; this was a smackdown in the spirit realm.Interestingly, the target of God's wrath wasn't Marduk, city-god of Babylon and head of the Mesopotamian pantheon, it was the moon-god, Sîn. Belshazzar's father, Nabonidus, was the king of Babylon in 539 B.C., but he'd been living at Teima, an oasis in Arabia that was a center of the moon-god cult. Nabonidus was from Harran, another major center of moon-god worship, and his mother was a priestess in the temple of S...

He witnessed the power of God as He saved Shadrach, Meshech, and Abednego from the fiery furnace. We explain why the giant golden statue was probably an image of Marduk, the chief god of Babylon, and how an archaeologist 150 years ago found what may have been the platform on which the statue stood.We also note that chapter 4 of Daniel is the...
