Brian Godawa is a best selling author, Hollywood screenwriter and filmmaker. In this episode, we discuss his latest installment in the Chronicles of the Watchers Book Series, Moses: Against the Gods of Egypt. We get into all the research that went into writing about Moses and the exodus like how many Israelites were there, where was the Red Sea crossing, Moses’ speech impediment, the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart, the plagues and much more!
I have this post on Stage & Story, of which I am on the advisory board.
It’s short, sweet, and spicy.
I was on View from the Bunker with Derek Gilbert.
We go way back. He is one of the most intelligent and well-versed people on the ancient world that I know.
His interviews are always deep ones.
We talked about my new novel on this episode, but you will hear stuff you won’t hear on any other podcast because.
This is an article I wrote on Stage and Story.
First part of a series on Of Myth and the Bible.
Christians do not need to be afraid of myth or see it as liberal. It is not. CS Lewis agreed.
It’s an introduction to understanding the way God redeems pagan imagination, even within the text of Scripture!
Many Christian prophecy pundits think Zechariah has alot to say about our future and the return of Christ.
It doesn’t. It talks about the coming of Messiah in the first century and how he brings both salvation and Judgment to Jerusalem “IN THAT DAY.”
In this episode we survey concepts important to understanding the book of Zechariah:
It’s historical context
“In that Day”
“All nations”
The Two Jerusalems
The Remnant
The Branch
We bring on author and filmmaker Brian Godawa to talk about his new book and the world of ancient Egypt. Brian dives into the life of Moses and we talk about interesting facts surrounding his culture.
How was Moses directly influenced by the Egyptians?
Did Moses encounter any blurry creatures on his journeys?
We had a good time talking about things perhaps many have missed in their Sunday school sessions growing up. Tune in now.
This has been too long of a wait. And just in time for Christmas gifts!
I lost 8 months because I moved across the country and wrote a movie screenplay.
And I have to say, I spent more time researching and writing this novel than just about any of my other novels.
That’s because there are alot of mysteries surrounding the story of Moses that I needed to answer to write the story.
Like, who was the Pharaoh of the Exodus? Who was Moses’s Cushite wife? What was the route of the Exodus? Where did they cross the Red Sea? Where is Mount Sinai?
Of course, those are only factual details that I wanted to get right.
I also wanted to make sense out of the Egyptian context of Yahweh’s war on the gods of Egypt. What might that have looked like in the unseen realm?
Well, you can get the novel now in ebook or paperback HERE.
PS: Be sure to get the companion research book “The Spiritual World of Moses and Egypt.” You might even want to read it first to prepare you for all the wild things you are going to read in the novel!

I was on this very professionally crafted podcast talking about end times from a different viewpoint.
The host was very gracious and asked intelligent helpful questions that really help clarify the issues of Bible Prophecy.
I talk about my journey in Bible prophecy and how I discovered the common interpretation of the last days is severely crippled by being modern rather than ancient in its context.
Topics: Ancient context of prophecy, poetic language of prophecy and apocalyptic, modern misunderstandings, the nature of Inspiration of God’s Word, Bible translation.
Many people have crazy theories about Elijah and the Day of the Lord.
Some think the historical Elijah is coming back in our future during a great tribulation.
Jesus said Elijah was John the Baptist.
But John also prophesied judgment.
So was it in our future or was it a judgment in our past?
You should know me by now to guess which one.
A new podcast interview with Jared 2.0!
The prophet Joel predicts a judgment called the Day of the Lord.
Many Christians assume this applies to a time future to us that is the End of Time.
But in Acts 2, the holy Apostle Peter told us that it wasn’t in our future.
He said it was beginning to take place right then and there at the Day of Pentecost.
See how it all works out in the first century.
If you read the text through the eyes of ancient Hebrew.
