They explain what “root canal,” “root canal therapy,” and “root canal infection” actually mean, why online misinformation persists, and how today’s endodontics uses microscopes, modern irrigation, and bioactive materials to disinfect and preserve natural teeth predictably. You’ll hear how imaging confirms healing, why follow-up is part of treatment, when retreatment or surgery is appropriate, and the real tradeoffs with extraction and implants. If you’ve ever wondered whether a root canal is safe—or if a root-treated...

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.

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...

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...

2021-02-281h 09Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #298: Leviticus 26GOD MADE His promises to Israel contingent upon following His statutes and commandments. 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...
2020-11-081h 11Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #287: Exodus 34-37TAKE TWO at Mount Sinai: Moses goes back up the mountain for another 40 days and nights to get two new tablets to replace the ones he smashed.We discuss the construction of the tabernacle and the willingness of the Israelites to contribute building materials after the unpleasantness following the golden calf incident. 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 #286: Exodus 32-33IT DIDN’T take long for Israel to rebel against God’s commands. They broke the first two commandments—no other gods and no idols—before Moses even came down from Mount Sinai.We discuss the Israelites’ desire for an idol to give locality to their “god,” and whether the golden calf was supposed to represent Yahweh, the storm-god Baal, the moon-god Sîn (they were at Sinai, after all), or the creator-god of the Amorites, El, whose main epithet was “Bull El.”And Sharon makes the astute observation that God’s promise to send His angel to push out the...
2020-10-251h 08Gilbert 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 #284: Exodus 27-28THE GARMENTS worn by the high priest were a representation of the tribes of Israel, who were presented to the Lord when Aaron and his successors entered the Holy Place.We discuss the ephod, probably a tunic or robe worn on the upper body, the breastpiece of judgment that held the twelve gemstones inscribed with the names of the tribes of Israel, and the purpose of the Urim and Thummim — about which we know very little even today.Here is the link to the Leen Ritmeyer article at Patterns of Evidence regarding the discovery of three bl...
2020-10-111h 05Gilbert 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 #281: Exodus 21-22WE DIG into the Law this week, as we discuss God’s commands to Israel on such things as slaves, restitution, and social justice.Slavery, in particular, had a far different meaning in the ancient Near East than it does for us in 21st century America. “Indentured servanthood” is perhaps a better term, since Hebrew slaves were to be released after six years of service.The roles of men and women were also different under the Law. While they appear old-fashioned (or even misogynistic) by today’s standards, they actually offered more rights and protection to women th...
2020-09-201h 07Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #280: Exodus 18-20THE TEN COMMANDMENTS were the first instructions given to Moses upon Israel’s arrival at Sinai. And the first command was “you shall have no other gods before me.”We discuss the commandments and the reasons God had for emphasizing that directive and the one that followed, a prohibition on carved images to represent Him or any other spirit being in heaven, on earth, or “in the water under the earth” (i.e., the abyss). In a nutshell, it’s because the small-g “gods” are real and the pagans believed that idols gave the gods “locality,” sort of like spiritual radio...
2020-09-131h 18Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #278: Exodus 14-15THE RED SEA crossing is an iconic moment in the Bible, the history of Israel, and in movies (thanks to legendary producer/director Cecil B. DeMille). But it’s way cooler than you might know.We explain why this event was far more than just Israel’s escape from Egypt. For example, have you ever noticed that God directed Moses to turn around and camp—in other words, to stop and wait for the Egyptian chariots to catch up?The significance of their campsite is also important, and we note the presence of other supernatural players in thi...
2020-08-231h 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 #276: Exodus 7-9IT’S A showdown on the Nile between the God of the Hebrews and the gods of Egypt. However, contrary to what we’ve been taught, the gods of Egypt in Moses’ day weren’t all Egyptian gods.We discuss the first seven plagues of the Exodus and why we believe a one-to-one correspondence between the plagues and Egyptian gods doesn’t give us the full picture. Psalm 78:48-49 reveals that the seventh plague (hail and fire), which will be echoed in the first trumpet judgment of Revelation 8:7, was the work of supernatural entities called Barad (“hail”) and the Reshephim...
2020-08-091h 14Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #275: Exodus 4-6MOSES RETURNS to Egypt with Aaron as his mouthpiece, a concession by God to Moses’ reluctance to speak to his fellow Hebrews about the Lord’s promise of deliverance.Despite being told by God that Pharaoh’s heart would be hardened, Moses complained when the king of Egypt not only refused to let Israel go, but increased the burden on the Israelites working to make bricks.We also discuss the strange incident of Exodus 4:24-26, where God “sought to put [Moses] to death,” apparently because his son had not been circumcised according to the covenant between God and Ab...
2020-08-021h 03Gilbert 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 #273: Genesis 50JACOB WAS buried at the Cave of Machpelah in Hebron. So, why did Joseph and his brothers take his body all the way around the other side of the Dead Sea and mourn for seven days at a threshing floor in the ruined city of Sodom?We discuss the “physicians” of Joseph (ropheim in Hebrew) and the Rephaim of the Transjordan, explain why we believe the threshing floor of Atad was the site of Sodom, and speculate as to why Joseph and the retinue mourned Jacob for seven days “beyond the Jordan.”————Our latest book Veneration is available for...
2020-07-191h 02Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #272: Genesis 47-49JACOB’S STORY comes to a close this week. He lived for seventeen years in Egypt, long enough to see Joseph use the foreknowledge given by God to concentrate power in the hands of the pharaoh (and the same number of years Joseph lived before he was sold into slavery by his brothers).We discuss Jacob’s blessing of Ephraim and Manasseh, in which we see again an elder brother passed over in favor of the younger, and the patriarch’s prophecies over his sons. Judah, the fourth son, is elevated above his brothers, and it is from Jacob’...

His brothers had returned to Egypt to buy more grain, bringing Joseph’s only full brother, Benjamin, with them as he’d ordered.But when Judah pleaded for Joseph to allow Benjamin to return to Jacob, Joseph was overcome with emotion and told them who he was. Jacob and the entire family entourage returned to Egypt and settled in the Nile delta, a land set apart from the native Egyptians who had a strong dislike of “Asiatics,” who they called “sand-dwellers.”We discuss the...

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.

2020-06-1744 minGilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #269: Genesis 38-40IF THE Bible had truly been edited to make the apostles, prophets, and patriarchs look better, chapter 38 of Genesis would have disappeared centuries ago.This week, we discuss the unseemly episode of Judah’s relationship with his daughter-in-law, Tamar, by whom he fathered Perez, an ancestor of Jesus.We also discuss the history of the period to explain the timeline between Abraham and the Exodus, which is variously described as “four hundred years” (Gen. 15:13, Acts 7:6), “the fourth generation” (Gen. 15:16), and “four hundred and thirty years” (Ex. 12:40-41, Gal. 3:16-17).How do we reconcile the 400/430 year discrepan...
2020-06-141h 03Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #267: Genesis 33-35ACOB WAS not exactly an ideal father.His reaction to the rape of his daughter Dinah by the prince of the city of Shechem is puzzling. Genesis chapter 34 shows that he didn’t say anything when learning of Dinah’s humiliation, or while his sons Simeon and Levi, two of Dinah’s six brothers by their mother Leah, plotted revenge against the city of Shechem, slaughtering the men after deceiving them into being circumcised. Jacob’s concern was not for Dinah or the murdered men, but for himself: “You have brought trouble on me by making me stink t...
2020-05-311h 02Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #266: Genesis 31-32FEEDING THE dead was an integral part of the world in which Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob lived.We’ve previously discussed Abraham’s distress at not having an heir to provide for him in the afterlife; this week, we explain why Jacob’s father-in-law, Laban, was so upset about losing his teraphim, the small idols that represented dead ancestors who had to be summoned to a meal every month with a necromancy ritual called kispum.We also discuss Jacob’s separation from Laban, his encounter with angels along the Jabbok River, and his wrestling match with the Ange...
2020-05-241h 06Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #265: Genesis 28-30PORTALS AND contact with the spirit realm are at the heart of this week’s Bible study.First, we discuss Jacob’s dream during his journey from the Negev to Haran in northern Mesopotamia. We’ve heard the term “Jacob’s ladder,” but the underlying Hebrew word reveals that what he saw was more likely a ziggurat—the ancient Mesopotamian pyramid that represented a stairway to heaven.We explain the connection between Bethel, “House (or Temple) of God,” and the stone idols later worshiped all over the Near East called baetylia by the Greeks and betyls by modern archaeol...
2020-05-171h 02Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #264: Genesis 26-27ISAAC IS a transitional character in the Bible, serving mainly as the bridge between Abraham and Jacob. We discuss the stories of Isaac’s adult life—his lie about Rebekah to the king of Gerar and how how Jacob received the blessing that Isaac had planned to give Esau.While it’s hard to reconcile the deception of Rebekah and Jacob, we must remember that Esau thought so little of his birthright that he sold it to Jacob for a bowl of stew (Gen. 25:29-34). We see in this story another example of God choosing the younger son as the...
2020-05-101h 04Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #263: Genesis 23-25WE REACH the end of Abraham’s time on earth this week. We discuss the death of Sarah, Abraham’s purchase of the cave of Machpelah, the marriage of Isaac, the birth of Esau and Jacob, and the short-sightedness of Esau in selling off his birthright for a bowl of beans.————Our latest book Veneration is now available for Amazon’s Kindle e-book reader!

2020-05-031h 13Gilbert 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 #260: ResurrectionHe is not here, for he has risen, as he said.(Matthew 28:6, ESV)That’s the beginning of our study on the Resurrection. We look at texts from the Old and New Testaments to explain that Christ’s resurrection is the template for what is in store for all who have accepted him as Lord and Savior.From Genesis through Revelation, history is anchored to one overarching theme: Whose children will be raised up at the last trump.Scriptures cited in this study:* Job 19:25-27* Psalm 82* Isaiah 24:21, 26:13-27:1* Ezek...
2020-04-121h 12Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #259: Passover and the Triumphal EntryWE SET aside our chronological reading order this week to look at scripture relating the Passover and Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem.We explain why these events were more than symbolic; they were acts of war in the spirit realm. We discuss the specific entities targeted at Passover, explain the Amorite kispum ritual, the reason Jesus rode a donkey colt into Jerusalem, why the time and place of the Transfiguration were important in this sequence of events, how the Parable of the Tenants explains the supernatural conflict, and how baptism and the Lord’s Supper fit into the...
2020-04-051h 05Gilbert 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...
2020-03-291h 09Gilbert 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...
2020-02-231h 21Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #254: Job 39-42LEVIATHAN AND BEHEMOTH are featured this week as God uses them to illustrate the difference between Him and Job. 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 #253: Job 38GOD ARRIVES on the scene to respond to Job’s complaints, and boy, does He bring the thunder. Literally.Speaking from a whirlwind, which is an image that had been coopted by the fallen elohim to represent the Mesopotamian storm-god called Addu or Hadad (i.e., Baal).In fact, there are multiple references to the spirit realm and its rebellion in Job 38. God establishes His unequaled status in all Creation by reminding Job that he wasn’t there when God “laid the foundations of the earth” and “determined its measurements” while “all the sons of God [angels] shoute...
2020-02-091h 03Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #251: Job 28-33JOB DELIVERS what is essentially his closing argument, recalling the days when his life was blessed, a respected member of the community, contrasting it with his current situation as one who’s mocked and despised. He asserts his innocence again, and issues another plea for a hearing.And then chapter 32 opens with a new character entering the scene: Elihu, a young man who’d been listening silently to his elders, unloads on Job and his friends. He’s angry at Job for justifying himself before God, and angry at his friends for accusing Job of sin without being able t...
2020-01-261h 16Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #250: Job 25-27A DRAGON in the Bible? Yes! And we see it here in the Book of Job. What’s more, we see a connection between this primordial enemy of God and the spirits of the Nephilim.Even before God created the heavens and the earth, He subdued Chaos—variously called Leviathan, “the deep” (the abyss; Hebrew tehom), the sea (the Canaanite sea-god Yam), or, as here in Job 26:12, Rahab, “the fleeing serpent.”We also discuss the creation account of Job 26, which tells the story of the original chaoskampf, the struggle against Chaos (see Job 26:12-13). We also talk about t...
2020-01-191h 10Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #249: Job 20-24JOB’S FRIENDS grow increasingly accusatory as we go through the book. This week, we hear the final speeches of Zophar and Eliphaz, who have gone from gently reminding Job that God punishes the wicked to accusing their miserable, suffering friend of mistreating the poor, widowed, and homeless!We speculate on the role of the accuser (“the satan”) in provoking their aggressive responses to Job, discuss the title of God in these chapters, the Almighty, and again contrast English Bible translations based on the Masoretic Hebrew text with the Septuagint version produced by Jewish religious scholars a thousand years...

2020-01-061h 31Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #248: Job 18-19JOB’S UNDERSTANDING of the afterlife was a reflection of the culture around him, which was dominated by the Amorites who controlled the ancient Near East from about 2000 BC to 1400 BC. They believed that the dead depended on the living to feed them to sustain them after death.But even with that, Job knew that his Redeemer lived, “and at the last he will stand upon the earth”—and that Job would see that day with his own eyes, a clear prophecy of the resurrection of the dead described by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:35-55.We discuss the anci...
2019-12-151h 09Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #246: Job 14-17JOB CONTINUES his lament this week, openly wishing that he could hide in Sheol until God’s anger was past. In response, Eliphaz the Temanite accuses Job of guilt, asserting that God only punishes the wicked.We know that's true, but judgment doesn’t always happen when we want it—right now, in the physical realm, where we can see it. Furthermore, we can see with our own eyes, as Job did, that bad things happen to good people.We also discuss a messianic prophecy, a reference to the divine council (Job 15:17—the “holy ones” are probably the...
2019-12-081h 08Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #245: Job 10-13JOB FINALLY vents, declaring that he must speak freely since his effort to forget his complaint has failed. In chapter 10, Job addresses God in forceful language, accusing Him of being unjust and demanding answers for his suffering.Then Job’s second friend, Zophar the Naamathite, responds and offers little comfort. Zophar asserts that Job is guilty and deserving of God’s punishment—in fact, probably deserving of worse than he’s already suffered.Job replies that everyone knows God is sovereign and accuses his friends of speaking falsely for God. Contenting to assert his innocence, Job addresse...
2019-11-241h 09Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #244: Job 6-9JOB REPLIES to the rebuke of Eliphaz and brings up some interesting points for our study this week. While admitting that God is just and all-powerful, the suffering Job still maintains that his complaints are justified.We see another reference to the divine council in Job’s mention of “the arrows of the Almighty (Shaddai)” and “the terrors of God.”Then we discuss Job’s anguished question, “Am I the sea(-god) [Yam], or a sea monster [tannin; i.e., a dragon] that you set a guard over me?” (Job 7:12) This is a reference to Genesis 1:2 and God’s taming...
2019-11-171h 03Gilbert 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 #242: Job 2-4THE FRIENDS of Job are to be commended for giving up so much of their time to commiserate with him in his suffering. However, their understanding of the cause of his suffering was incomplete.At least they were more encouraging than Job’s wife, who advised him to “curse God and die.” We discuss the divine council reference in Job 2, the nature of Satan (or “the satan”), the location of the home of Eliphaz the Temanite, another clue that Job lived somewhere in what later became Edom (possibly near Petra), Job’s wish that he’d never been born, a veiled...
2019-11-031h 09Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #241: Job 1JOB HAS become a symbol for patient suffering in the face of overwhelming adversity, but there’s a lot more to his story than that.This week, we begin our study of one of the most fascinating books of the Bible. We discuss the historical context of Job, the significance of Job’s probable homeland east of the Jordan River, the glimpse at the workings of the divine council, and the role of the satan in the council—because Satan wasn’t a proper name in the Old Testament.————Check the website for links to some of our favorite...

This week, we discuss the descendants of Shem, since it’s from his line that the Lord brought forth His Messiah.We also discuss the days of Peleg, whose name means to cleave or divide. What caused the breakup of the land masses of the earth in ancient times? Was it related to the punishment of the Watchers who descended to Mount Hermon and were punished by being thrust down to Tartarus (2 Peter 2:4)?————Check the website for links to some of our favori...
2019-10-2058 minGilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #239: Genesis 11:1-9THE TOWER of Babel was not at Babylon. 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...

It appears that the youngest, Ham, made a power play to usurp the birthright of his older brothers -- by having incestuous relations with his mother.This week, we discuss the aftermath of the Flood. 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. The Fa...
2019-08-251h 18Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #236: Genesis 6-7THE STORY of a global flood is common to many cultures all over the world. 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...
2019-08-111h 05Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #234: Genesis 4:16-5:32PRIDE AND a drift away from the Creator is evident in today’s study, which features the generations of patriarchs between Adam and Noah.We discuss the first city built (Gen. 4:17) and explain why we think the builder was Cain’s son, Enoch (not the Enoch who “walked with God,” who was a descendant of Seth). 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...
2019-07-141h 07Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #233: Genesis 3:8-4:16FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS have been messed up for millennia because of what happened in Eden.This week, we discuss the consequences of eating the forbidden fruit, taking a deep dive into Genesis 3:16, a difficult passage that suggests husbands and wives have been cursed by sin to struggle with one another for control.Then we talk about the curse directed at the serpent and explain why it has more to do with the Mesopotamian concept of the netherworld than why snakes don’t have legs. (Snakes never had legs.) We also deal with the old “serpent seed” heresy, which...

We also talk about the relevance of the rivers Pishon, Gihon, Tigris and Euphrates to ancient cosmology, as reflected in Isaiah 47 and the ancient myth of the descent of Inanna (i.e., Ishtar, Astarte, Aphrodite, Venus, etc.) to the netherworld. The we di...

Today, we begin our study of the Old Testament for the second time, nearly five years after our very first dive into Genesis 1.We discuss the meaning of various Hebrew words and their implications, and we explain why the first chapter of the Bible isn’t just a creation account, it’s a repudiation of the creation stories told by the cultures of the ancient world.————Join us this Tuesday, June 18, 2019 at Morningside in Blue Eye, Mo.

Marilyn Abbott, who spotted our oversight of Deuteronomy 9 about six weeks ago, informed us this week that we’d also skipped over three chapters of the Gospel of John. (Thank you again, Marilyn!)So, today we discuss Jesus’ final meeting with his disciples just before his betrayal in the garden of Gethsemane. This included his promise of the coming of the Holy Spirit, a prophecy of his return from the grave, and his prayer that the Father protect his disciples (and us) from the attacks of those who are in service to the...

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...
2019-03-101h 16Gilbert House FellowshipGilbert House Fellowship #225: Nehemiah 6-9PERSEVERANCE IN the face of opposition is one of the lessons from our reading today. The Samaritans, Ammonites, and Arabs in Nehemiah's day tried to discourage the Jews through threats, political pressure, and even a conspiracy to assassinate Nehemiah.With the work completed, Ezra led the people in a reading of the Law and a restoration of the Feast of Tabernacles, which, we were surprised to learn, hadn't been observed since the Exodus!We also discuss the meaning of God's promise to make Abraham's descendants "as the stars of heaven," which is a reference to our...

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...

(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. (The Hebrew word translated "gallows" really means "pike," or something similar. Think Vlad the Impaler...

We discuss the differences between Esther and the deposed queen Vashti; obvious changes to the Book of Esther in the Septuagint translation; and why Esther wouldn't have been in a position to help her people if she hadn't been subservient to Xerxes and her cousin and guardian...
