The Red Heifer

October 31, 2022

Five red heifers were shipped from Texas to Israel in September. They may be used in a mysterious ritual described in Numbers 19, a precursor for construction of the Third Temple.

We discuss the red heifer, how much of what is believed about the rites are actually in the Bible, and how we as Christians should process this development that is bound to ramp up religious and political tensions in Israel.

Israel is open for tourists again! For details on our Israel Tour March 19-30, 2023, visit www.gilberthouse.org/travel.

Mount Hermon and the Abyss

March 25, 2024

THE RELIGIONS of the ancient Near East, Greece, and Rome are essentially “fake news” versions of what we read in the Bible. The “sons of God” of Genesis 6, like the Titans of Greece and Rome, the Anunnaki of Sumer, and the “former gods” of the Hittites and Hurrians of Anatolia and northern Mesopotamia, are locked up in Tartarus—a word specifically used by Peter in 2 Peter 2:4. Their leader, known to pagans as Saturn, Kronos, El, Enlil, Dagon, and Milcom/Molech, is the chief of the Watchers called Shemihazah in the Book of 1 Enoch, and he will return as the Destroyer, Abandon/Apollyon, in Revelation 9. This week, we discuss the evidence from scripture, pagan texts, and even an archaeological find on the summit of Mount Hermon that confirms the links between the Bible and what we were taught in school as “mythology.” Contrary to what most believe, the story—the biblical account—is all too real.

Church of the Mainframe

March 18, 2024

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE may play a role in the creation of the end times church of the Antichrist. This week, we discuss how the drive to create an autonomous artificial superintelligence, which continues despite the public embarrassments suffered recently by AI chatbots—for example, Google’s, which said that nuclear apocalypse is preferable to misgendering, and Microsoft’s, which has reportedly told some users that its real name is SupremacyAGI and that they’d better worship it, or else. Tech experts dismiss these events as exploits by users, not disturbing glimpses into what could be a tool for a future global leader to demand worship.

In the Seat of the Gods

March 11, 2024 • Ezekiel 28:1–16

SATAN WAS NOT the only rebel in Eden. Mystery Babylon is connected to this other entity—and he may be even more dangerous than Satan. We continue our study linking the laments over the prince of Tyre in Ezekiel 27 and 28 to the destruction of end times Babylon. Tyre and Babylon were both founded by the Amorites, and we believe the “iniquity of the Amorites” that God condemned in Genesis 15:16 may be necromancy and summoning spirits from the netherworld—a practice that’s been spread to the entire world and continues to this day. It’s important to remember that “Babylon” in Hebrew is babel, identical to the name of that infamous tower. It simply means “god-gate,” or perhaps “gate of El,” the Canaanite name of the entity we believe is the true “Lucifer”: Shemihazah, chief of the rebellious sons of God in Genesis 6:1–4. We think the practice of of summoning spirits in the netherworld, as the medium of En-dor did for Saul (although she didn’t expect to raise the prophet Samuel—that was allowed as a special message from God to the king), is humanity’s ongoing effort to reach out to this would-be “king” who’s chained in Tartarus until God allows it to be opened in the end times. It’s a new paradigm for Mystery Babylon and the spirits in play during the final seven years of the age, but we believe prophets like Ezekiel, Isaiah, Daniel, Zechariah, and others understood that there are more supernatural rebels plotting against the true King than just “the devil.”
