No, Current Events in Israel are Not Fulfilling Bible Prophecy – New Audiobook

Posted on by admin

I just put my book Israel in Bible Prophecy onto audiobook on Amazon.

Israel: the Chosen People, the children of Abraham.

They were God’s elect in the Old Testament. But why were they so special to God?

Respected biblical author Brian Godawa examines how the promise of God to Abraham was fulfilled in the New Testament through the faithful Israelite, Jesus the Messiah, and how that changes everything.

I used the AI Virtual Voice and it sounds really good.

It allowed me to put it at a very cheap price.

Gods of Greece in the Bible: Iron and Myth Podcast

Posted on by admin

The Iron and Myth crew discuss the intricate relationship between Greek mythology and biblical narratives, particularly focusing on the influence of Greco-Roman religion on Jewish thought, and the significance of the Abomination of Desolation (Dan. 9:27, 11:31, 12:11; Matt. 24:15).

We also explore the role of demigods and the Rephaim in ancient beliefs, the reality of ancient deities, and how the New Testament engages with Greek mythology.

Doug highlights subversive storytelling in the Book of Acts, undermining Greek stories about the gods Zeus and Hermes.

And we discuss the influence of ancient oracles on early Christianity; specifically, how the spread of the gospel silenced the oracles of Apollo, which provoked the most intense persecution of Christians in the history of the Roman Empire.

Finally, we discuss the significance of the Septuagint and how it provides insights into biblical texts that may have been lost in translation, emphasizing the supernatural elements present in the Bible.

Book Review of Cruel Logic on Deeper Waters

Posted on by admin

Here’s an interesting book review of my latest novel Cruel Logic by Nick Peters of Deeper Waters blog.

He is a Christian apologist so he provides an interesting perspective on the novel.

He says: “this is an important novel for parents especially to read who are thinking of sending their kids off to college. You need to know what is going on at a college campus and what your children can expect to see happen when they are there. Godawa’s book should be an eye-opener.”

The late Michael Heiser and his teachings have recently come under fire by a group of folks who recently released a 2.5 hour video making erroneous assertions about him and his teachings. We gathered a high-octane panel of those most familiar with Heiser’s teachings in a civil theological rebuttal to these claims. This was a great podcast where I got to share alot in defending Mike.

Iron and Myth Podcast: Azazel, Lilith, and other Demonic Creatures in the Bible

Posted on by admin

One of the mysteries of the Bible is why there are no accounts of priests or prophets casting out demons. Why is that?

This is odd because the pagan neighbors of the Israelites knew about demons and had an entire library of rituals and spells for casting them out. 

And in the early 1st century, Jesus and the apostles had their hands full casting demons out of people all over Judea and the Mediterranean world.

Joining us to explore the presence of demonic entities in the Old Testament and their connection to ancient pagan deities is our monthly Iron and Myth crew: Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, Dr. Judd Burton (www.BurtonBeyond.net), director of The Institute of Biblical Anthropology, and Brian Godawa (www.Godawa.com), best-selling author of Chronicles of the Nephilim, Chronicles of the Watchers, and the theological thriller Cruel Logic.

We discuss various passages and linguistic connections that suggest the existence of demons in the Hebrew Bible. We also delve into the significance of the desert as a place associated with chaos and demonic activity.

The conversation touches on the rituals and practices related to demons, including the naming and mocking of these entities.

We conclude with an examination of Azazel and the connection between the demonic realm and the wilderness.

The conversation explores the presence of supernatural entities in ancient texts and their connection to demonic activity.

Iron and Myth: Debunking the “Nephilim are not giants” Theory

Posted on by admin

“THERE WERE GIANTS in the earth in those days.”

Those nine words are among the most controversial in the entire Bible.

Who or what were the Nephilim? Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, and Brian Godawa (www.Godawa.com), best-selling author of Chronicles of the Nephilim and the theological thriller Cruel Logic, join us for our monthly Iron and Myth roundtable to discuss the giants of the pre-Flood world.

We address the arguments against understanding these beings as literal hybrid creatures and explore the reasons why this interpretation is not taught in seminaries.

We highlight the importance of addressing contrary views and the need to consider multiple interpretations of theological concepts.

Our conversation touches on the role of the Septuagint in understanding the giants and the connection between the giants and the divine council, the interpretation of the Hebrew word ‘Nephilim’ and its connection to the ‘sons of God’ and ‘daughters of men’ in Genesis 6, and the significance of cosmic geography and the cult of the dead in relation to the giants.
