The Maccabees and the Abomination of Desolation: Godawa on Derek Gilbert’s podcast

Posted on by admin

The so-called silent centuries between the books of Malachi and Matthew in the Bible were not as quiet as we’ve been told.

Award-winning screenwriter and best-selling novelist Brian Godawa (Godawa.com) joins us to discuss the latest entries in his Chronicles of the Watchers series, Judah Maccabee Part 1: The Abomination of Desolation and Judah Maccabee Part 2: Against the Gods of Greece.

Brian tells us why he chose this period of relatively unfamiliar Jewish history (unfamiliar to Christians, anyway) to dramatize spiritual warfare, explains why the Septuagint translation of the Old Testament is relevant to Christians, and reveals where in the Apocrypha we find accounts of angels fighting against the Greeks for the Jews.

It’s finally here!

My new novel Judah Maccabee – Part 1: Abomination of Desolation.

In ancient Israel, the wicked Greek king Antiochus sets up the Abomination of Desolation in the holy temple in Jerusalem, just as the prophet Daniel had foretold.

He forces Jews to give up their religion or die.

Judah Maccabee and his four Jewish brothers rise up to fight for their religious freedom against government tyranny.

Judah’s passionate wife, Sophia, is caught up in the persecution and Judah must save her before she is martyred for her faith, along with other friends and family.

The Jews are outnumbered, out-armed, and now the demon gods of Greece are after them. But where are God’s archangels to protect them?

Start your adventure with Judah Maccabee – Part 1: Abomination of Desolation.

Judah Maccabee – Part 2 available on kindle pre-order. (January release, and paperback, hardcover).

Podcast: Daniel 12 – The Time of the End, NOT the End of Time

Posted on by admin

Jared Chrestman and I finish up our examination of Daniel with this climactic chapter.

When is the End of Days?

Is the Resurrection in this chapter a metaphor like in Ezekiel or literal?

Futurist speculations break down and just don’t address the complex web of prophetic symbolism that runs through the entire book and climaxes here.

Understand Daniel and you will understand the book of Revelation.

Podcast: Daniel 9 – The 70 Weeks & The Abomination of Desolation

Posted on by admin

This is one of the most fascinating podcasts I’ve done with Jared Chrestman in a while on his show Through the Black.

I go through Daniel 9 and the infamous 70 Weeks prophecy that leads to the Messiah and the Abomination of Desolation spoken of by Daniel and Jesus.

Some think this passage includes both the Christ and a future Antichrist thousands of years later.

I prove that it does not refer to a future Antichrist.

But it makes it that much more of a powerful and beautiful prophecy.

This could be one of the most central prophecy passages in the Bible because it gives the most precise dating for the arrival of Messiah.

Matthew 24 Fulfilled in the Past: Brian Godawa on Through The Black Podcast

This is a great interview.

Jared Chrestman and I went through Matthew 24 almost verse by verse to show how it was all fulfilled by AD 70.

Yes, that’s right. All of it.

Even Christ coming on the clouds.

As a famous movie line goes, “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
