In the Ancient Near East, the dead never really went away. And if you didn’t care for them properly, they could make your life hell.
With us to discuss the cult of the dead in the lands around ancient Israel is our Iron and Myth crew: Hosted by Derek Gilbert (DerekPGilbert.com), author of The Gates of Hell; Dr. Judd Burton (www.BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview with the Giant; Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods; and Brian Godawa (www.Godawa.com), best-selling author of the theological thriller Cruel Logic, and a new novel based on the period of the Maccabees in Judea.
We explore the cult of the dead in ancient Israel, examining its practices, rituals, and the influence of ancestor worship.
The discussion delves into archaeological findings, biblical references, and comparative analysis with other cultures, particularly focusing on the Rephaim and the significance of rituals like the Marzeah feast.
The pervasive nature of these beliefs and practices in ancient societies is evident in biblical references to the Rephaim and the cult of the dead, and we discuss how these concepts have influenced modern spiritual practices.
We also discuss how Jesus’ ministry and the Last Supper serve were spiritual warfare against the cult of the dead, drawing parallels to contemporary practices that echo these ancient beliefs.
