Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #462: 2 Kings 14; 2 Chronicles 25KING AMAZIAH of Judah is a classic example of someone whose pride got the better of him. 2 Kings 14 tells us that after Amaziah became king, he led a successful military campaign against Edom. He captured the stronghold of Sela, which was probably Petra in present-day Jordan, defeating an army of some 10,000 Edomites. This led him to provoke a war with the northern kingdom of Israel. Despite a warning from King Jehoash to “be content with your glory, and stay at home,” Amaziah wouldn’t listen, the two kingdoms went to war, Judah was defeated, and Amaziah, like h...

2025-10-101h 02Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #461: 2 Kings 12–13; 2 Chronicles 24THE TEMPLE in Jerusalem fell into disrepair within a century of the death of Solomon. The king who repaired it was a good man—mostly. Joash (or Jehoash), son of Ahaziah, reigned in Judah 835–796 BC. He was made king at age seven by the high priest Jehoiada and is credited with restoring the Temple—even pushing the priests, who seemed rather slow to make repairs even after they were ordered to do so. However, the account in 2 Chronicles 24 records that after the death of Jehoiada, Joash fell away and returned to the pagan gods of the Canaan...

And more often than not, succession in Israel involved a sword. Baasha became king through a coup against Nadab, son of Jeroboam. After a twenty-four year reign, Baasha died and his son Elah ascended to the throne. However, after two years, Elah was assassinated by Zimri, a commander of chariots, who lasted all of seven days before Omri, commander of the army, was declared king by his troops. After a battle at the capital city of Tirzah, Zimri barricaded himself inside the citadel and set it on...

This week, we discuss Enoch’s mission to deliver God’s reply to the petition of the rebel Watchers for mercy—not just for them, but for their monstrous offspring, the gigantic Nephilim. In short, God’s reply was “no”—the Watchers would not be allowed back into heaven because they’d given up their divine natures and defiled themselves by acting like humans. That’s not an insult, it’s simply that the Watchers were created for the unseen realm while we are created for the natu...

Following the death of Solomon, Jeroboam led the northern tribes in rebellion against Judah and the House of David. Solomon’s son, Rehoboam, wanted to go to war immediately but was warned by the prophet Shemaiah that it was not the will of God to do so, since the rebellion was God’s punishment for Solomon’s fall into the worship of pagan gods. However, after just three years of peace, north and south were at war. Egypt’s...

Unraveling RevelationMerry Non-Pagan Christmas! 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 academic research into the history of the holiday, Christmas has nothing to do with Nimrod, Baal, Saturn, Sol Invictus, the winter solstice, or any other pagan...
2024-12-2328 minGilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #419: Proverbs 21THE SPIRITS of the giants destroyed by the Flood were venerated by the Amorites who dominated the culture around ancient Israel. The Hebrew prophets and psalmists condemned the cult of the dead, but you have to know what you’re looking for to find those scriptures. We find one of them in Proverbs 21: The man that wandereth out of the way of wisdom shall abide in the congregation of the dead. (KJV) One who wanders from the way of good sense will rest in the assembly of the dead. (ESV) The word translated “dead” is Rephai...
2024-08-111h 23Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #389: Psalms 95, 97–99ONE OF THE JOYS of Bible study is discovering layers of meaning that you’d missed on your first reading.This week, we run into another instance of the English phrase “worthless idols” (Ps. 97:7b). We think the context indicates that the Hebrew word elîlîm refers to supernatural beings (angels, if you like), not carvings of wood and stone. This is emphasized by the exhortation to the unseen realm in the sentence that follows: “Worship Him, all you gods!” We submit that David, who wrote Psalm 97, knew full well that lifeless sculptures are not capable of w...
2023-10-011h 15Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #371: Psalms 24, 47, 68THERE IS MORE spiritual warfare in the psalms than we realize! This week, we study three of David’s psalms that have more going on under the hood than is obvious at first read. Psalm 24 praises God for founding the earth “upon the seas and… the rivers.” In Canaanite religion, Baal became king of the gods after a battle with Yam (“Sea”), the embodiment of chaos (i.e., Leviathan), who is often called “Prince Yam [Sea] and Judge Nahar [River]” in Canaanite religious texts. So, David’s psalm is more than poetic language; it’s a rebuke of the pagan belief tha...
2023-03-051h 27Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #370: Psalms 22–23THE PSALMS OF DAVID are often prophetic. We know this. However, we often overlook just how supernatural they are. This week, we focus on two of the most profound and stunning psalms in the Bible. Psalm 22 begins with a line quoted by Jesus on the cross: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”It’s widely acknowledged by Bible scholars that the 22nd Psalm is a prophecy of the Crucifixion written more than 600 years before the Persians invented that horrific method of execution. However, verses 12 and 13 are usually misinterpreted. They read: Many bulls...

Failure to treat the ark with proper respect, according to the Law, cost a teamster his life. This week, we discuss the move of the ark to Jerusalem and a section of scripture in 1 Chronicles 13 that’s difficult for many to accept. Why was Uzzah killed by God for putting his hand on the ark to steady it? The answer: The ark was supposed to be treated with reverence, carried by Levites with poles made specifically for that purpose (Exodus 25:12–14; Numbers 4:5–6, 15). Instead, it had been loaded onto a...

2022-12-221h 08Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #359: Psalms 16, 19, 21THE PSALMS are filled with supernatural meaning that we often miss because we don’t have the worldview of the authors.This week, we dig into three psalms of David that appear, on first reading, related to his ascension to the kingship over all the tribes of Israel. They are that, but on a deeper level, we find references to the the unseen realm and those spirits who rejected God’s authority.For example, the “saints/holy people in the land” of Psalm 16:3 are, in our view, rebellious angels. The Hebrew word translated “saints” or “holy people,” qedos...

Ruled by his passions, Samson fell into the hands of Israel’s enemies, the Philistines—but God used even Samson’s failings to save His people from their enemies.We discuss Samson’s flaws, such as his pride and rather flexible approach toward keeping his vow as a Nazirite. It’s clear that Samson either wasn’t the smartest guy in Israel, or he put so much trust in his own strength that he did foolish things.Then we move on to the story of the tribe of Dan’s relocation fro...
2022-05-151h 16Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #337: Judges 5ON THE surface, the song of Deborah and Barak in Judges 5 is a celebration of a miraculous military victory over a superior enemy. It is that, but it’s much more.When we dig into the Hebrew and consider the cult of the dead from the surrounding Amorite culture, Judges 5 tells of a supernatural battle between Yahweh and His forces against the small-g gods of the Canaanites. The mentions in Judges 5:13 to “the noble” (Hebrew addirim) and “the mighty” (gibborim; also v. 23) are references to the demonic spirits of the Rephaim (i.e., the Nephilim) worshiped by the pagan neig...

This is significant. The pagan Canaanites were not completely driven out of the land, which created spiritual problems for Israel for centuries to come.Join us for a weekend retreat at the beautiful Finley Ri...
2022-02-131h 19Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #330: Joshua 6–8THE DESTRUCTION of Jericho was not just a military victory. It was another statement of God’s superiority over the gods of the Amorites, whose land was about to be given to the Israelites.This week, we discuss the conquest of Jericho and Ai. We explain why God’s command to march around the city may have been a reversal of an ancient ritual known in Mesopotamia a thousand years before the Exodus. Sharon compares this to a pagan myth from ancient Persia, and then we explain the significance of the location of the altar on Mount Ebal, over...
2022-01-161h 13Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #328: Psalm 91; Joshua 1PSALM 91 is often called the Soldiers’ Psalm, but the warfare it describes is spiritual rather than physical.The “terror,” “pestilence,” and “destruction” referenced in Psalm 91 were evil entities named Pachad, Deber, and Qeteb who were well-known to the ancient Canaanites. We also note that the “adder” of verse 13 is nachash, the “serpent” of Genesis 3, and “the serpent” of Psalm 91 is a tannin—a dragon!We also note God’s promise to deliver those who hold fast to Him in love, and we explain why verse 16 is a promise of the coming Messiah.Then we move to the first chapter of J...

Many of these things make no sense to us today because we don’t understand the world of the prophets and apostles or how these behaviors were connected to pagan religions of the day.——————The Bible’s Greatest Mysteries is on the air!

2021-10-241h 10Gilbert 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...

We explain why his oracle refers to the coming of Jesus and his return at the end of the age.Subscribe to the new SkyWatchTV channel at Rumble: www.rumble.com/c/skywatchtv——————The special offer for the first six books of The Redwing Saga is almost gone!

2021-06-061h 18Gilbert 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 #285: Exodus 29-31THE RULES for consecrating the Aaronic priesthood were very specific, and many of those rules were a repudiation of rituals the pagan neighbors of ancient Israel practices for their gods.We discuss the purposed of the blood shed by the bulls and rams sacrificed during the ritual, the reasons for burning their livers and kidneys, and the restricted use of holy anointing oil. (In other words, we shouldn’t use the recipe in Exodus 30 to make our own.)We also follow a rabbit trail back to our discussion of the Ark of the Testimony two weeks ag...
2020-10-181h 07Gilbert 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 #282: Exodus 23-24MANY OF US have been taught that it isn’t possible to see God with our natural eyes and live. How do we reconcile that with the account of God personally eating a meal with Moses, Aaron, and the seventy elders of Israel?The scripture verse is clear: And He did not lay His hand on the chief men of the people of Israel; they beheld God, and ate and drank. (Exodus 24:11)This is an appearance by the Second Power in heaven, or Jesus in the Old Testament. This meal on Mount Sinai was a message fr...
2020-09-271h 06Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #270: Genesis 41-43ALL OF us have had a wilderness experience of one kind of another. For Joseph, much of it was spent in prison cells.Two years after interpreting dreams for the baker and cupbearer for the king of Egypt, Joseph is summoned to make sense of a pair of disturbing dreams for the pharaoh. You know the story: God showed the king that seven years of plenty would be followed by seven years of famine. Pharaoh placed Joseph in charge of storing up grain for the lean years.We discuss the reason that God allowed Joseph to...
2020-06-281h 06Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #258: Genesis 15-17ABRAHAM’S DISTRESS at being childless was caused by his concept of the afterlife. In the Amorite culture that dominated his world, it was believed that one’s quality of life after death depended on your descendants performing a monthly ritual to provide your food and drink.We explain the Amorite kispum ritual and why Abraham’s servant Eliezer was not necessarily from Damascus. According to scholar Nicolas Wyatt, the Hebrew phrase hû dammešeq was “a scribal gloss, explaining what was felt to be a damaged text, since the meaning of mešeq was lost until the Ugaritic te...

While these creatures are described as possessing almost unimaginable power, they are as pets to our Lord, who made them just as He made us.We discuss the nature of Leviathan and Behemoth (and no, we do not believe they were a whale, giant squid, hippo, elephant, crocodile, or dinosaurs) and their parallels in pagan religions such as Tiamat, the Canaanite sea-god Yam, the Sumerian Bull of Heaven, and the “calf of El.” We cite a couple of extrabiblical text...
2020-02-161h 12Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #243: Job 5WE SEE the divine council worldview in the ongoing discourse of Eliphaz the Temanite, as he mentions the “Holy Ones,” an epithet used elsewhere in the Old Testament for the Watchers (Daniel 4:13, 17).We also discuss the hidden meaning of the “sparks” in Job 5:7, the bene resheph or “sons of Resheph,” and the significance of the Canaanite plague-god Resheph (hint: Resheph was called Apollo by the Greeks and Romans).Question: Which god did Eliphaz serve? Was he a pagan? We assume it was the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but Job lived between the time of Noah and the...
2019-11-101h 13Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #223: Ezra 7-10THE SECOND group to return from Babylon to Jerusalem was led by Ezra the priest, who secured permission from the Persian king Artaxerxes in 458 B.C. 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. We discuss the Law concerning...

2018-09-231h 03Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #202: Ezekiel 38:16-39:16WE CONTINUE our study of the war of Gog and Magog. To reiterate, Gog will not be a Russian leader.We explain why we should be looking at supernatural north, not a compass point. Ezekiel, like Isaiah, recognized that the great enemy of God would come from yarkete tsaphon, Mount Zaphon -- the mountain on which the pagan neighbors of ancient Israel believed the palace of Baal was located.We also discuss imagery that could apply to the pagan plague-god Resheph (better known as Apollo), the role of the Rephaim in the army of Gog, and...
2018-07-221h 05Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #200: Ezekiel 37EZEKIEL'S FAMOUS vision of the valley of dry bones has a deeper secondary meaning -- a message for a supernatural audience that had conned Israel's pagan neighbors into believing their ancestors were divine and could return to the land of the living.God's message, here and elsewhere (for example, the raising of Lazarus), was not just that He would restore Israel to the land, but that a resurrection for the faithful was coming. We discuss the implications of the dry bones in the context of other Old Testament passages that refer to the Rephaim, the divinized dead of...
2018-07-081h 11Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #195: Ezekiel 23-27SHOCKING LANGUAGE intended to wake up the people of Judah kicks off our study of Ezekiel this week. Through the prophet, God compared the pagan practices of the nations to lewd behavior, and Ezekiel didn't soften the language at all.God also had harsh words for Ammon, Moab, Edom, and the Philistines before turning His attention to the Phoenician city-state of Tyre. We explain why this wasn't a simple proclamation of doom on a pagan neighbor of the Israelites but an already-but-not-yet prophecy that will ultimately be fulfilled just before Armageddon.----------Download our free mobile...

We discuss the cherubim and ophanim, the supernatural guardians of the throne, and why the cherubim depicted on most models of the Ark of the Covenant are wrong.We also discuss the links between Ezekiel and the Revelation to John, the deeper meaning of the seal applied to the faithful in Ezekiel 10 and Revelation 7, the faces of the cherubim and the cardinal points of the Babylonian zodiac, and the bovid (bull-like) imagery of the cherubim...
2018-03-181h 04Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #180: Jeremiah 29-32JEREMIAH'S LIFE wasn't easy. His message was so unpopular that he was put in stocks and later imprisoned, and he had to live through two invasions by the Babylonians. Of course, that could explain why his message wasn't well received: "Yahweh says we're being punished, so settle into your exile for the next seventy years and pray for the pagan cities in which you've been settled."But even then, God had a message of hope for Israel and the world: A day was coming when Israel would be restored to the land and preserved through the coming judgment...

A View from the BunkerVFTB 212: Keep Calm and Christmas OnTHE MATTER of Christmas has become rather contentious in recent years. It needn't be.While Jesus almost certainly was not born on December 25 (see this video by Dr. Michael Heiser making the case for September 11, 3 B.C.), Christians should not be concerned about accidentally worshiping a pagan deity if they celebrate the birth of the Messiah on Christmas Day.Here is a brief outline of the program:* There is no scholarly evidence linking December 25 to the birth or worship of Nimrod and/or Tammuz* Evidence suggests that a feast for the birth of Christ was...
