Jared and I had a very deep dive into Daniel 7 on his show Through the Black.
Oh, yeah: The Godzilla monsters.
The Little Horn.
The Ancient of Days.
The Kingdom of God.
And modern prophecy speculators completely miss the point.
You will love it.
Babylon
Podcast: Daniel & Bible Prophecy: It’s Not What They Told You
So, Jared and I started a new series on Bible Prophecy at Through the Black.
This one is Daniel & Bible Prophecy: It’s Not What They Told You.
First episode here is introduction to Daniel chapter 2: The giant metal monster statue.
And yet again, It ain’t what modern Bible prophecy pundits are telling you.
Podcast: Babylon is Fallen. But What is It? Not the Usual Suspects.
In this episode, Jared Chrestman and I talk about Revelation 18, the judgment on Babylon.
See why it isn’t what most prophecy pundits tell you.
Mystery Babylon is a city, which is also the Whore that rides the red Beast.
And she is ancient, not modern.
See why.
Podcast: From Nephilim to the Apocalypse. Lies Exposed, Truth Revealed
I had one of my favorite interviews by my new friends at The Not Too Dissident Future Podcast, Mel and Andy.
We talk about the Nephilim, the Unseen Realm, Giants, Leviathan, and transition to the End Times, why so many Christians get it so wrong and what Jesus really said about it.
The coolness is just beginning.
You’re going to love this one! They’re great interviewers.
Off the Grid Radio: Interview about Tower of Babel, Ancient China Connection
I had a great interview with Off the Grid Radio about my latest novel, written with Charlie Wen of Marvel Studios fame.
I explain:
- How biblical and historical fiction can actually assist in our knowledge of Scripture and other true events.
- Why he chose to write about China – and how his novel can help us better understand our modern-day world.
- How his newest series continues the paradigm of his first popular series, the Chronicles of the Nephilim.
You can see the novel at Amazon here.
See the cast of characters and Charlie Wen’s artwork on the Dragon King website here.
Now You See TV: The Dragon King Interview with Brian Godawa
Jon Pounder did a great video interview for Now You See TV about The Dragon King.
We talked about The Tower of Babel and the Watcher paradigm and how it fits into the Bible and the history of ancient China. The Chinese language is pictorial and embodies elements of the Genesis narrative thousands of years before Genesis was written. How did the ancient Chinese worship ONE God without images in a time when nobody else did, except the Jews? And the Chinese had NO connection with the West or the Jews.
Or did they? Check it out.
The Tower of Babel and the Origin of China
What does the Tower of Babel have to do with China?
Special thanks to Jeralynn Kawewong Kozak for finding this video.
It speaks of the very thing my new novel, The Dragon King does, that the ancient Chinese language is a pictorial language that embodies the stories and theology of Genesis thousands of years before they ever had contact with the West or the Bible.
See this truth in action with The Dragon King.
The Dragon King on Audiobook. Tower of Babel, Giants, China, Dragons
It’s 220 B.C. The ancient Western Empire is crumbling. In a desperate bid to save his throne, the Greek king over Babylon sends his son, Antiochus, a dishonored warrior, into the mysterious land of the Far East to capture a mythical creature that will give him absolute power: a dragon. What he finds is an exotic world ruled by a brutal emperor on a mad quest to find the elixir of immortality.
Of Myth and the Bible – Part 6: Satyrs and Centaurs and Demons, Oh My!
In my novels, Joshua Valiant and Caleb Vigilant, I write about a tribe called the Seirim people of Banias at Mount Hermon. They live in caves at the foot of the mountains and are led by satyrs, chimeric beings with the lower body of a goat and the upper body of a human. But this mythopoeic imagery is not a mere assimilation of ancient Greek myths about Pan, the satyr deity of nature and shepherding. The notion of satyrs or goat deities predates Greek myth and finds a place in Canaanite lore, and therefore, the Bible as well.
Take a look at these prophecies of Isaiah referencing the destruction of Babylon and Edom.
Isaiah 34:11–15 (The destruction of Edom)
11But the hawk and the porcupine shall possess it, the owl and the raven shall dwell in it… 13Thorns shall grow over its strongholds, nettles and thistles in its fortresses. It shall be the haunt of jackals, an abode for ostriches. 14And wild animals shall meet with hyenas; the wild goat (seirim) shall cry to his fellow; indeed, there the night bird settles and finds for herself a resting place. 15There the owl nests and lays and hatches and gathers her young in her shadow; indeed, there the hawks are gathered, each one with her mate.Isaiah 13:21–22 (The destruction of Babylon)
21But wild animals will lie down there, and their houses will be full of howling creatures; there ostriches will dwell, and there wild goats (seirim) will dance. 22Hyenas will cry in its towers, and jackals in the pleasant palaces; its time is close at hand and its days will not be prolonged.
The passages above speak of God’s judgment upon the nations of Babylon and Edom (symbols of all that is against Israel and Yahweh). A cursory reading of the texts seem to indicate a common word picture of Yahweh destroying these nations so thoroughly that they end up a desert wasteland with wild animals and birds inhabiting them because the evil people will be no more.
Nothing about mythical monsters like satyrs there, right?
Wrong. Because the English translations of the Hebrew word seirim as “wild goats,” obscure the full ancient meaning. If we look closer into the original Hebrew, we find a more expanded mythopoeic reference to pagan deities.
