Eschaton Podcast: How the Watchers Were Judged in the Last Days of the First Century
I had a great interview with Joshua Wisely on Eschaton podcast. Here is what he wrote:
Brian Godawa returns to the show to continue a fascinating discussion we had earlier this year about Preterism and the likelihood that the majority of โend timesโ prophecies mentioned in the Book of Revelation, which millions of people around the world expect to be fulfilled in the future, have already been realized in the past. And if thatโs not enough to pique your interest, thereโs more!
We also talk about the mysterious entities known as โThe Watchersโ or โThe Sons of Godโ, who are mentioned in mythological texts throughout the ancient Middle East and Mesopotamia. We try to gain a better understanding of the role they played in ancient cosmology and whether or not they have any influence in the world today.
Additionally, we get Brianโs perspective on whether or not prophecies can have a โdouble fulfillmentโ or if history shows us that theyโre always one and done. Then, to round out the episode, he shares his thoughts on the identity of the โtwo witnessesโ mentioned in chapter 11 of the Book of Revelation. Itโs an interpretation that I had never heard before and one that youโll want to chew on for a while!
