• 00:17 Josh Colson: The site of this week’s biblical
• 00:18 history actually takes place in Iraq, ancient Sumer,
• 00:22 aka Babylon.
• 00:24 But current political and hostile
• 00:26 difficulties prohibit us from filming there–this time.
• 00:30 So we’re heading back to Israel,
• 00:32 to a lesser-known location linked
• 00:33 with the ultimate post-flood Nephilim.
• 00:36 Satan’s first post-flood genetic masterpiece
• 00:39 was more than a hybrid.
• 00:41 He was a warrior dictator, the first antichrist
• 00:44 to unite the entire world against their Creator.
• 00:46 His name was Nimrod.
• 00:49 This rebel would lead an insurrection
• 00:51 against heaven with the construction
• 00:53 of a temple to honor the fallen B’nai Elohim.
• 00:56 Although the first generation of Nephilim
• 00:58 were destroyed within the worldwide deluge,
• 01:01 man now had to contend with the disembodied
• 01:03 spirits of these giants who were tormented
• 01:05 to wander the earth without rest
• 01:08 until the time of their eternal judgment.

• 01:59 Caleb Colson: Look, we’re back here again, Josh.
• 02:01 I love visiting this location.
• 02:03 Josh: But we suggested that we only come here
• 02:05 once and get it all done.
• 02:07 How did we end up here again?
• 02:08 Caleb: We gotta talk about those Daemonians,
• 02:10 those evil spirits, those departed Nephilim spirits.
• 02:13 You know, there is writings such as Enoch,
• 02:16 Book of Jubilees, that claim
• 02:17 that one-tenth of them were allowed to remain
• 02:20 on earth under Satan’s command, whereas nine-tenths of
• 02:24 them were in prison.
• 02:25 And then it says the same thing about
• 02:27 the B’nai Elohim then were in prison,
• 02:28 you know, like in Tartarus.
• 02:30 One-tenth were allowed to remain on the earth.
• 02:32 So this is kind of a hub of where
• 02:36 we want to focus on, because Mount Hermon
• 02:38 is just behind us.
• 02:40 We’re on the foothills of Mount Hermon.
• 02:42 Josh: Hey, what?
• 02:44 Chaim Malespin: Shalom. Josh: You guys are here?
• 02:46 Chaim: Caleb, Joshua. Josh: I can’t believe it.
• 02:50 Chaim: You guys know Israel? Caleb: Yes.
• 02:52 I was gonna say, there’s Daemonians.
• 02:54 Oh, there’s much–
• 02:55 Chaim: Well, I notice that the wisdom
• 02:57 of the white hair is so good because, like,
• 02:59 you have less white hair.
• 03:00 I have a little bit of white hair,
• 03:02 so we got a lot of wisdom, a little, and this kid–
• 03:04 Josh: I Clairol’ed all of my wisdom out, so.
• 03:06 There you go.
• 03:08 Caleb: You guys ever been here before?
• 03:09 Chaim: Yes, indeed.
• 03:11 We were just on a hunt for the Ark of the Covenant
• 03:12 like we always–and, no, but I mean, we realize
• 03:15 that there’s definitely demonic–
• 03:17 this is really a demonic fortress,
• 03:19 if you think of Anunnaki– now, you look
• 03:21 like a Nephilim or an Anunnaki.
• 03:24 Josh: I thought it was gonna come up at some point.
• 03:26 Chaim: No, buddy, you’re just big.
• 03:28 But technically they would have been
• 03:29 like double your size, pretty much.
• 03:32 Caleb: Well, people think that this fortress could
• 03:34 have been built by giants, and I’m gonna get to that,
• 03:36 but what we’re seeing right here was built
• 03:39 by the Mamluks, you know, it was restored by them
• 03:42 in the reign of the Ayyubids,
• 03:44 and the town of Nimrod is just five miles
• 03:46 from here, which is why they call
• 03:48 this Nimrod’s fortress.
• 03:50 And there’s a legend on how it was created.
• 03:52 But this was a watchtower, guys, to spot crusader
• 03:55 armies coming along the Via Maris
• 03:57 from Damascus, and they wanted
• 03:58 to make sure that they protected
• 04:00 their stake in the Holy Land.
• 04:02 But I want to take y’all guys to see some interesting
• 04:05 stonework here, because the stones cry out
• 04:07 and they tell about the past.
• 04:09 Israel Hanna: Well, we’re at a demonic
• 04:11 stronghold here, and so Sergeant Chaim
• 04:13 and I have come along to give you
• 04:14 reinforcements today.
• 04:16 Chaim: I carried the shepherd’s stick, just in case.
• 04:18 Caleb: I’m glad we’re not alone.
• 04:20 We need backup.
• 04:21 Israel: These are our weapons.
• 04:22 Caleb: All right, gentlemen, let’s
• 04:24 check this place out.
• 04:30 Caleb: 1 Enoch 15:8-12, “And now the giants,
• 04:33 who are produced from the spirits
• 04:35 and flesh, shall be called evil spirits
• 04:37 on the earth, and on the earth
• 04:39 shall be their dwelling.
• 04:41 Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies;
• 04:43 because they are born from men and from
• 04:46 the holy Watchers is their beginning
• 04:47 and primal origin; they shall be evil spirits
• 04:51 on the earth, and evil spirits
• 04:53 shall they be called.
• 04:54 As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be
• 04:57 their dwelling, but as for
• 04:59 the spirits of the earth which were born
• 05:00 upon the earth, on the earth shall
• 05:03 be their dwelling.
• 05:04 And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy,
• 05:07 attack, do battle, and work destruction
• 05:09 on the earth, and cause trouble.
• 05:11 They take no food, but nevertheless hunger
• 05:13 and thirst, and cause offenses.
• 05:15 And these spirits shall rise up against
• 05:17 the children of men and against the women,
• 05:20 because they have proceeded from them.
• 05:23 Josh: I thought this place is built for giants.
• 05:25 I can’t even stand up in the doorway.
• 05:26 Chaim: You watch your head.
• 05:28 Catch that on the por– look at the size
• 05:30 of the stones, right?
• 05:31 I mean.
• 05:33 Josh: Look at the stones on that mountain.
• 05:34 Chaim: They literally just left it here.
• 05:36 They couldn’t move it later.
• 05:37 Josh: It does, it looks like what they did
• 05:39 was like, “Okay, here’s what we’re gonna do.
• 05:40 We’re gonna add a nice veranda,” like, you know,
• 05:43 the remodeling shows.
• 05:44 But they couldn’t do anything with this,
• 05:46 so it just got left in the middle
• 05:47 of the living room.
• 05:49 Israel: So, Caleb. Caleb: Sir.
• 05:50 Israel: I’m wondering, here we are
• 05:52 in this stronghold of the giants.
• 05:53 The question always is, did the Nephilim–
• 05:55 did they survive after the flood,
• 05:57 or were they actually destroyed, or what
• 06:02 actually happened to them?
• 06:03 Josh: The art of the Shriners
• 06:05 sat in little cars and drove away from–
• 06:07 I don’t know.
• 06:08 Caleb: This is actually the most hotly debated
• 06:11 question that goes out because there’s been
• 06:14 so many theories, such as the theory
• 06:16 that Ham’s wife had Nephilim blood
• 06:18 and that’s how it carried on.
• 06:20 I don’t think God would allow that to happen,
• 06:22 and go through all the trouble wiping out,
• 06:24 having these people brought into the ark,
• 06:25 and they already had Nephilim on the ark.
• 06:26 I don’t think that happened at all.
• 06:28 Josh: There’s a lot of people who say,
• 06:29 “Well, no, this flood was a local flood, right?
• 06:31 It only took out Haltom City.
• 06:32 Everybody else was saved.”
• 06:34 But the problem is Genesis 7:20 says,
• 06:36 “No, no, no, the water went over the highest peak
• 06:38 in the entire world by 15 cubits,”
• 06:40 or 21 feet if we speak God’s measurement.
• 06:42 Caleb: At least we can go down to one of these basic
• 06:45 facts, and Genesis 6:4 says, “There were giants
• 06:48 in the earth in those days; and also after that,”
• 06:51 after the flood, “when the sons of God
• 06:53 came unto the daughters of men,
• 06:54 and they bear children unto them.”
• 06:56 The way that sentence is structured,
• 06:58 many smarter rabbis than me say that that’s
• 07:02 like a double sentence structure,
• 07:03 but they did it short-form, which it really
• 07:06 was supposed to intend, “There were giants
• 07:07 on the earth in those days when the sons of God
• 07:09 came unto the daughters of men,”
• 07:11 blah blah blah, and afterwards,
• 07:13 after the flood, when the sons of God
• 07:14 came unto the daughters of men.
• 07:16 So there could have been multiple rebellions.
• 07:17 There could have been a second rebellion
• 07:19 after a flood.
• 07:20 Josh: To be honest, all jokes aside,
• 07:22 rebellion is one of those things
• 07:23 that’s almost insatiable, right?
• 07:25 Like, once you start the rebellion
• 07:27 process, yeah, it’s not an easy stop
• 07:29 for you, you know, so I can 100% see
• 07:31 that it spreads like wildfire once it begins
• 07:33 to those up there.
• 07:35 What’s down there?
• 07:37 Caleb: Oh, it looks like a cave of death.
• 07:38 Let’s–
• 07:40 Josh: Ooh, I wanna go. Chaim: Let’s go down there.
• 07:42 Josh: Seems like a great idea.
• 07:44 Josh: Psalm 88:10-11, “Do you show wonders
• 07:47 to the dead?
• 07:48 Do the departed spirits, Rephaim, rise up and praise you?
• 07:52 Selah.
• 07:53 Is your loving kindness declared
• 07:54 in the grave, or your faithfulness
• 07:57 in destruction, [Abaddon]?”
• 08:02 Josh: Whoa, going down into spooky subterranean
• 08:05 caverns always reminds me of
• 08:07 Sheol for some reason.
• 08:09 This part right here is green.
• 08:10 It looks like Nimrod spilled his matcha
• 08:12 all over the wall, the giant.
• 08:14 Caleb: This is crazy, guys.
• 08:16 I remember, I like to study genealogies
• 08:18 in Scripture.
• 08:19 They’re very important to me because they lay
• 08:21 the foundation for everything
• 08:22 that’s gonna happen.
• 08:24 Josh: Nerd!
• 08:25 Caleb: I know you call me a nerd for it.
• 08:27 Josh: When he was a kid, I used to walk in, “What
• 08:28 are you doing?”
• 08:30 “Reading Numbers.”
• 08:31 “What, like, the book?” “Yeah, it’s super awesome.”
• 08:34 Caleb: Well, it’s very important because in the Genesis
• 08:37 10 Table of Nations, you get where, you know,
• 08:39 from Noah’s three sons, Ham, Shem, and Japheth,
• 08:41 where you get all these different nations
• 08:43 that come, and you do get the Perizzites,
• 08:45 the Canaanites, the Jebusites,
• 08:47 the Amorites, which end up, you know–
• 08:49 Chaim: Mosquito bites.
• 08:51 Caleb: Yeah, mosquito bites,
• 08:52 which end up intermingling with the Nephilim bloodlines.
• 08:54 But the actual origins of those Nephilim
• 08:57 and Canaan, you get Arba, Anak, Rapha.
• 09:01 You can’t see them in that genealogy.
• 09:03 Moses talks about them later in Deuteronomy 2.
• 09:06 He brings up, they just came
• 09:08 from these fathers, these founders,
• 09:10 which means that these daddies
• 09:13 that created all these Nephilims had
• 09:15 to have been of a spiritual source, not from man.
• 09:18 Yeah, they made it with the daughters of women,
• 09:20 but here you have some fallen angels
• 09:21 that should have been the fathers of these–
• 09:23 the new-breed, I like to call, Nephilim races.
• 09:25 Chaim: You’re right, you don’t just see
• 09:27 the genealogy of the Jewish people, you see
• 09:29 the genealogy of nations.
• 09:31 Where’s the genealogy of these giants?
• 09:32 It doesn’t exist.
• 09:34 One last thing, I hope you’re not going
• 09:35 to take us into a crypt or into an underground
• 09:37 hidden tunnel or something, because I do tunnels,
• 09:39 I don’t like them. I do tunnels, I don’t like them.
• 09:42 But what I will say is we do have domination
• 09:43 over said evil spirits.
• 09:45 One tiny little dude that has
• 09:48 the power of the Lamb from the beginning
• 09:50 of eternity to the end of eternity
• 09:52 can defeat these.
• 09:53 Israel: Just look at the size
• 09:55 of these stones, man, in this place.
• 09:56 That’s amazing in itself.
• 09:58 Josh: I mean, the hidden passage
• 09:59 doesn’t go to the doo-doo well, does it?
• 10:01 Caleb: No. Josh: Is that–doo-doo well?
• 10:03 Is that — yeah?
• 10:04 Josh: Genesis 10:8-9, “And Cush fathered Nimrod;
• 10:06 he began to be a gibbor in ha’aretz, the earth.
• 10:10 He was a gibbor and hunter before Adonai,
• 10:12 [the Lord]’
• 10:14 Therefore it is said, like Nimrod the Gibbor,
• 10:15 the hunter before Adonai.”

• 10:29 ♪♪♪
• 10:32 Josh: The Limbo King! Still got it.
• 10:34 Caleb: Obviously, this escape path
• 10:36 was not meant for the giants to get out of.
• 10:38 Josh: No, it was a little shorter than
• 10:39 I thought it’d be.
• 10:40 Israel: Look at these stones.
• 10:42 Look at the size of these stones!
• 10:44 Josh: Wow, that’s some big stones.
• 10:45 Caleb: This is why I wanted to show you guys here,
• 10:47 these stones, and then there’s stones
• 10:48 over there.
• 10:50 You can see when you look at the different layers
• 10:52 of this city that it was built
• 10:54 at different times.
• 10:56 You find these important high places throughout Israel.
• 10:59 And when they keep digging, they find out that there
• 11:01 was, you know, the earliest settlement
• 11:04 was a temple or something to a Canaanite god,
• 11:07 and then they just keep building on top of it,
• 11:08 you know, as there’s reformations
• 11:11 of religious reform.
• 11:12 But here, it’s interesting because they found out,
• 11:16 they first thought, you know, this was
• 11:17 originally built as this Crusader-era
• 11:20 territory, then they started finding
• 11:21 Hellenistic remains going back
• 11:23 to the Greek time period, you know, in the 300 BC time,
• 11:28 and then they ended up discovering
• 11:30 that the ruins might actually go back
• 11:32 even further.
• 11:34 I’m believing, from what I’ve seen
• 11:36 and from other sources, that it could go back
• 11:38 to just after the flood.
• 11:39 When the Nephilim came back, they started
• 11:42 to create structures.
• 11:43 We know Baalbek in Lebanon, not too far from here
• 11:46 on Mount Hermon, is built in the same design
• 11:49 and structure with these stones, megalith stones that are
• 11:52 so huge, so closely stuck together.
• 11:54 Jerash has the same design of stonework.
• 11:57 And according to the Ugaritic texts,
• 12:00 it writes saying that Nimrod traveled
• 12:02 all the way here from Nineveh
• 12:05 in the later years of his life,
• 12:07 he used the giants to build these cities,
• 12:10 and then, eventually they would be destroyed
• 12:13 and they would be reconstructed over time,
• 12:15 and then Nimrod died in the hills, not far
• 12:17 from here where the town of Nimrod is.
• 12:19 So it’s some crazy work going on here.
• 12:22 Josh: Obviously every account of Nimrod
• 12:24 lists him as a giant, so that’s
• 12:26 kind of not in question anyway.
• 12:27 I mean, you look at Orion, the constellation.
• 12:30 That is–
• 12:31 Israel: Hunter.
• 12:33 Josh: Yeah, the hunter, designed after him.
• 12:34 He’s a hunter, he would hunt God’s people.
• 12:36 He’d hunt God’s people before God, like,
• 12:37 underneath God, shake his fist to God.
• 12:40 He was completely against God in that way.
• 12:43 Chaim: When you think of the fact of his bloody
• 12:45 demise, of being cut into 12 pieces and sent across.
• 12:49 Caleb: The legend of Osiris.
• 12:51 Chaim: Yeah, and you just see God had
• 12:52 to really show, you know, what it says,
• 12:56 all the kingdoms of the earth will
• 12:57 become the kingdoms of the true God,
• 12:59 but they don’t think that.
• 13:01 They really think that Tower of Babel is going
• 13:03 to beat God.
• 13:04 They really think they’re going to get
• 13:05 enough warriors together.
• 13:07 They look at the Battle of Armageddon,
• 13:08 the Battle of Gog and Magog, as they’re going
• 13:10 to really win this and really defeat God.
• 13:12 Can you believe that stuff?
• 13:14 And you look at, you said ziggurats,
• 13:15 you said pyramids throughout the world.
• 13:18 I mean, when you look at the dichotomy, light,
• 13:21 sons of light versus the sons of darkness,
• 13:23 and what I see is, there’s actually
• 13:25 one mountain that matters.
• 13:27 It’s not Mount Olympus.
• 13:28 Caleb: Mountain of God. Chaim: It’s the Mountain of God.
• 13:31 You know what?
• 13:32 And that is Mount Zion, Mount Moriah.
• 13:34 But the enemy wants to sit on the, what does it say?
• 13:35 In the high places.
• 13:37 Caleb: “High places, on the mountain
• 13:38 of congregation to the farthest sides
• 13:40 of the north.”
• 13:41 Chaim: Yeah, they want to be the top of the top,
• 13:42 to counter God and be like, “No, I’m setting up my places.
• 13:46 We’re the biggest, we’re the toughest,
• 13:47 we’re the highest,” but we know how
• 13:49 that’s gonna end, and it’s not gonna end well.
• 13:52 Josh: Genesis 10:10-13, “And the beginning of [Nimrod’s]
• 13:56 kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh,
• 14:00 in the land of Shinar.
• 14:02 From that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh,
• 14:05 Rehoboth, Ir, Calah, and Resen, between Nineveh
• 14:11 and Calah, [that is the principal city].”
• 14:15 There is a beautiful view.
• 14:17 Caleb: They always know the high vantage
• 14:19 point, where to build a city,
• 14:20 but how hard is it to build a city up here?
• 14:23 Josh, is it an optical illusion or is
• 14:24 that higher than where we’re at right now?
• 14:26 Josh: That is indeed higher.
• 14:28 Caleb: So we may have to go up there.
• 14:29 You know, Nimrod–
• 14:30 Chaim: He doesn’t like to hike. Caleb: He doesn’t like to hike.
• 14:32 Nimrod, once again, he was a master builder
• 14:34 and a master hunter.
• 14:36 It says in Scripture, he built Babel, Erech,
• 14:38 Accad, Nineveh.
• 14:40 He just went around establishing,
• 14:42 you know, the Assyrians, the Babylonians,
• 14:44 he just went everywhere.
• 14:46 But like I mentioned, the Ugaritic text says
• 14:48 that he came all the way here, almost like a pilgrimage
• 14:51 to his forefathers, you know, the original
• 14:54 B’nai Elohim, who came down Mount
• 14:56 Hermon right there.
• 14:58 Chaim: But here’s the thing is, you know,
• 15:00 the word “pilgrimage,” he said he
• 15:01 pilgrimaged here, you know.
• 15:04 Here’s the thing, I don’t see Mecca and
• 15:06 Medina on the news much.
• 15:07 I look in the news, I don’t see the places,
• 15:09 even Mesopotamia, the cradle of civilization.
• 15:11 I don’t see that much on the news.
• 15:12 I do see the original Garden of Eden,
• 15:14 which we believe that Jerusalem–
• 15:17 Caleb: Jerusalem.
• 15:18 Chaim: Center, or somewhere
• 15:20 in the Garden of Eden, and all of Israel,
• 15:22 essentially the whole modern country even extended
• 15:24 to the Euphrates, to the Nile, is, which is–
• 15:27 this is really controversial talk,
• 15:30 but I believe that that is
• 15:31 all the original Garden, where the tree of life
• 15:32 was, where the river of life,
• 15:34 and I know there’s little hints,
• 15:35 like the Gihon Spring that’s coming out of Jerusalem.
• 15:39 It’s a little stream.
• 15:40 Caleb: And the Hiddekel, they say it was mistranslated.
• 15:43 It’s not Tigris, but there’s a Hiddekel
• 15:44 that came out.
• 15:46 Chaim: Yeah, that came out as well.
• 15:47 Euphrates, of course, now it’s all shifted
• 15:49 after the flood and waterways are different
• 15:50 now, but I do think that getting back to the Garden,
• 15:52 getting back to the original place,
• 15:55 even the enemy knows that, even Nimrod knew that.
• 15:57 That’s why he set up this place and died here.
• 16:00 Caleb: Yep, that’s what they say,
• 16:01 on that mountain.
• 16:03 I guess he didn’t quite make it up there.
• 16:04 He was a little old at that point.
• 16:06 Or, you know, you have the legends
• 16:07 that Esau killed him, whatever, but
• 16:08 who knows how he was really destroyed.
• 16:10 His enemies destroyed him, that much we know.
• 16:13 Josh: Isaiah 26:13-14, “Yahweh our God,
• 16:18 other lords besides you have had dominion over us,
• 16:22 but we will only acknowledge your name.
• 16:24 The dead shall not live.
• 16:26 The departed spirits, [Rephaim] shall not rise.
• 16:28 Therefore you have visited and destroyed them,
• 16:31 and caused all memory of them to perish.”
• 16:35 Caleb: You know what, guys, that scripture in Isaiah
• 16:38 is very important, because basically
• 16:40 it’s saying that part of the judgment
• 16:42 that was going to be doled out on these Nephilim is
• 16:46 that they would never take part
• 16:47 in the resurrection of the dead.
• 16:49 Even the wicked take part in the resurrection
• 16:52 of the dead, right before the Great
• 16:54 White Throne of Judgment, and they are thrown
• 16:57 into the lake of fire.
• 16:58 But these spirits, part of that judgment
• 17:00 is you read about them being restless roamers,
• 17:02 wandering spirits.
• 17:04 It’s a torment to them that they can never
• 17:05 inhabit flesh again, and that’s all they try
• 17:09 to do now is bring chaos upon the earth
• 17:11 by indwelling humankind, living vicariously through them,
• 17:16 committing sins through them, because their desire
• 17:19 and their hunger and their thirst,
• 17:21 as the book of Enoch says, is never satiated.
• 17:24 Chaim: It’s true, and they’re trapped in a way
• 17:25 in the human body because they’re an eternal being.
• 17:28 I mean, you think of Lucifer,
• 17:30 you think of Isaiah 14, the description
• 17:31 of the fall of Lucifer and rebellion is
• 17:35 as the sin of witchcraft.
• 17:37 Caleb: Pride goes before destruction,
• 17:38 the haughty spirit before a fall,
• 17:40 and that was Lucifer’s first sin, was pride.
• 17:45 Israel: So guess what the good news is, guys?
• 17:47 The Spirit of the living God lives within us.
• 17:51 We become the temple of God.
• 17:53 He is our power, he is our strength,
• 17:54 he is our comforter.
• 17:56 He is our wisdom, our guide, and he lives–
• 17:58 the Creator of the universe lives in us,
• 18:01 because we serve and love him.
• 18:03 Isn’t that awesome?
• 18:04 Chaim: That’s true.
• 18:06 Displacing the enemy, we’ll get into that later.
• 18:07 Caleb: Hey, I like it.
• 18:08 Caleb: Well, Chaim and Israel, it’s time
• 18:10 for Josh and me to leave, head to Jordan,
• 18:13 to ancient Jerash, to finish this story.
• 18:16 Josh: We’re on our way to another adventure, guys.
• 18:19 Caleb: We’ll see you both again someday, soon.
• 18:28 Josh: Genesis 11:5-9, “But the Lord came down
• 18:31 to see the city and the tower
• 18:32 which the sons of men had built.
• 18:34 And the Lord said, ‘Indeed the people are one
• 18:37 and they all have one language,
• 18:39 and this is what they begin to do; now nothing
• 18:42 that they propose to do will be withheld
• 18:44 from them.
• 18:46 Come, let us go down and there confuse
• 18:48 their language, that they may not understand
• 18:50 one another’s speech.’
• 18:51 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there
• 18:53 over the face of all the earth,
• 18:56 and they ceased building the city.
• 18:58 Therefore its name is called Babel.”
• 19:03 Josh: Well, we are not quite in Iraq, little brother,
• 19:07 but we’re about as close as we can get until God opens
• 19:09 up the door for us to get to the real location.
• 19:10 We’re actually in the archaeological
• 19:12 site of Jerash, the former city of Gerasa.
• 19:16 This was a city believed to have been founded
• 19:18 by Alexander the Great.
• 19:20 Caleb: That’s interesting because archaeologists
• 19:22 have dug up these ruins, and yeah, you see
• 19:25 Hellenistic ruins, you see Roman ruins,
• 19:28 but they finally found Neolithic ruins
• 19:31 with stones that are so ancient
• 19:35 and interesting, these kind of Neolithic
• 19:38 people, they were only found 12 other places
• 19:40 in the world.
• 19:41 And as I mentioned, there’s a connection here
• 19:43 in Jerash with Baalbek, Lebanon, and Nimrod’s fortress,
• 19:47 because the stonework, they found
• 19:49 the foundation of some of these holy
• 19:52 places like temples that were built here,
• 19:54 the foundation stones are the same design
• 19:56 style of those massive megalith stones
• 19:59 that were found in Nimrod’s fortress.
• 20:01 It’s all kinds of interesting because they end up
• 20:04 taking those same stones and fashioning them to look
• 20:08 like the Roman stones, the Hellenistic stones.
• 20:10 It even has some appearances to those Herodian stones
• 20:13 that you find at the base of the Temple Mount.
• 20:16 But they are dated millennia earlier
• 20:18 than those stones.
• 20:20 Josh: So they look like it, but they’re way older.
• 20:21 Caleb: Yeah. Josh: That’s crazy.
• 20:25 Josh: Josephus Antiquities of the Jews,
• 20:27 book 1, chapter 4, verse 2.
• 20:30 “Now it was Nimrod who excited them
• 20:32 to such an affront and contempt of God.
• 20:36 He also gradually changed the government
• 20:37 into tyranny, seeing no other way
• 20:40 of turning men from the fear of God,
• 20:41 but to bring them into a constant dependence
• 20:44 upon his power.
• 20:45 He also said he would be revenged on God,
• 20:48 if he should have a mind to drown the world again;
• 20:51 for that he would build a tower too high
• 20:53 for the waters to be able to reach!
• 20:55 and that he would avenge himself on God
• 20:57 for destroying their forefathers!”
• 21:01 Caleb: Josh, Nimrod pushed the
• 21:02 slide of mankind.
• 21:04 You know, he is said to have built
• 21:06 the Tower of Babel with help from the new
• 21:08 breed of Nephilim.
• 21:10 Josh: “We can get to God.”
• 21:11 Caleb: Yeah, and shake our fist in his face.
• 21:14 And it’s very strange that the Book of Jubilees
• 21:17 declares that the Tower of Babel
• 21:19 is 1.6 miles tall.
• 21:22 Josh: That’s insane.
• 21:23 Caleb: I don’t know, I don’t know.
• 21:24 Josh: They had to have Nephilim because they’re
• 21:26 so thin up there, how else are you going
• 21:27 to build if you’re not Nephilim?
• 21:29 Caleb: That’s right, and of course he
• 21:30 deified himself, creating the first
• 21:32 Sumerian religion, the first polytheistic
• 21:33 religion, which he was Marduk and his wife
• 21:37 and mother was Semiramis, who became Ishtar,
• 21:39 and their son Tammuz.
• 21:40 But it just reminds me, because you see back here,
• 21:42 this is the temple to Zeus.
• 21:45 Zeus, there was also Ninurta, Enlil, you know, Satan.
• 21:51 Josh: Jupiter?
• 21:52 Caleb: Jupiter, all these gods
• 21:54 throughout history that were linked back
• 21:55 to Nimrod, he was the source.
• 21:58 He had the spirit of the antichrist
• 21:59 on him.
• 22:01 But he couldn’t do it alone, he had to have help.
• 22:04 Everybody needs a henchman to worship him,
• 22:07 to show this guy’s powerful, everybody looked to him.
• 22:09 Josh: He’s a hype man, a false prophet hype man.
• 22:11 Look, look, look, he’s so good, he’s been so bad,
• 22:13 he’s good, good, good.
• 22:15 Caleb: That’s exactly what he had.
• 22:16 He needed a false prophet, just like any antichrist.
• 22:19 His false prophet was named Kainam, with a K.
• 22:22 Josh: With a K.
• 22:24 Josh: Book of Jubilees, chapter 8:1-4.
• 22:27 “In the twenty-ninth jubilee, Arpachshad took
• 22:30 to himself a wife and her name was Rasu’eja,
• 22:33 the daughter of Susan, the daughter of Elam,
• 22:36 and she bare him a son in the third
• 22:38 year of this week, and he called his name Kainam.
• 22:42 And the son grew, and his father
• 22:43 taught him writing, and he went to seek
• 22:45 for himself a place where he might seize
• 22:47 for himself a city.
• 22:49 And he found a writing which former generations
• 22:51 had carved on the rock.
• 22:53 And he read what was thereon,
• 22:55 and he transcribed it and then sinned owing to it;
• 23:00 for it contained the teachings of the Watchers
• 23:03 in accordance with which they used
• 23:05 to observe the omens of the sun
• 23:07 and the moon and the stars in all the signs in heaven.
• 23:10 And he wrote it down and said nothing
• 23:12 regarding it; for he was afraid to speak
• 23:14 to know about it lest he should be angry with him
• 23:17 on account of it.”
• 23:20 Caleb: Temple of Zeus, it’s pretty gnarly crazy.
• 23:23 Another sign of Nimrod being around the earth.
• 23:27 But Josh, it’s very interesting
• 23:29 that this Kainam with a K, you know, you look
• 23:32 at the genealogies in Scripture,
• 23:34 and he is missing from Genesis 11:12.
• 23:38 People are like, “Why? Why is he missing?”
• 23:41 Well, maybe Moses had it in for him,
• 23:43 he didn’t want a cursed lineage,
• 23:44 one of the people who taught astrology
• 23:46 and witchcraft and evil, being in Scripture.
• 23:49 So it’s a possibility, because we find him
• 23:52 later on in Scriptures.
• 23:54 Josh: We do.
• 23:55 If you go to Luke 3:36, actually, it talks
• 23:57 about Cainan being the son of Arphaxad
• 24:01 and the father of Selah.
• 24:04 And if you look in the Midrash,
• 24:05 it actually explains that he learned astrology
• 24:07 from these stone tablets.
• 24:08 And Josephus says that before the flood,
• 24:10 there were these two stone columns
• 24:12 that had the wisdom of the Watchers
• 24:13 on them, and that one of them
• 24:15 talked about a prophecy of Adam
• 24:17 that fire would eventually destroy
• 24:19 the earth, and the other one
• 24:20 discussed the prophecy of Noah and the flood.
• 24:23 That concerned them a lot.
• 24:24 And then there was other wisdom stuff
• 24:26 on there in hieroglyphs that, I don’t know what it said.
• 24:27 Caleb: Yeah, so Kainam learns
• 24:29 these weird sciences, sorceries and stuff,
• 24:32 and he teaches them to Nimrod.
• 24:34 He becomes his right-hand man.
• 24:36 Nimrod establishes the Chaldean esoteric cult,
• 24:39 the mystery cult of the Magi,
• 24:41 and of course, what happens is it’s left
• 24:44 in shambles.
• 24:46 After the destruction of Babel, Nimrod leaves Babel,
• 24:49 and then Kainam takes over Babylon and ends
• 24:54 up reestablishing these mystic rites
• 24:56 and teaching them to people.
• 24:58 It’s interesting, in the 13th century,
• 25:00 there was a Jew named Bar Hebraeus
• 25:02 who became a Christian, and he wrote that there
• 25:05 was a dynastic title throughout history named Hermes.
• 25:08 There were five of them.
• 25:10 The first one was Enoch, and the second one
• 25:12 was this Kainam with a K, and he talked
• 25:15 about this Kainam with a K coming in to Babylon,
• 25:18 re-establishing Sumer after the dispersion
• 25:21 of Babylon, after Nimrod left in a shambles
• 25:23 and continued the seven secret sciences of the Watchers.
• 25:27 In the ancient manuscripts it does
• 25:30 declare a Kainam with a K was a real person.
• 25:33 We’re not making this up.
• 25:34 I know there’s a lot of controversy around it.
• 25:35 He was in existence and he’s put in that line,
• 25:41 was talking about the line that goes all the way to Yeshua.
• 25:44 Josh: There’s so much history that, poof,
• 25:47 it’s lost.
• 25:49 Very curious about– then you see stuff like this.
• 25:50 Caleb: Zeus temples of evil, man.
• 25:53 Josh: All right, well, I have to topple it for good,
• 25:55 so hold on.
• 25:58 ♪♪♪
• 26:03 Josh: 2 Corinthians, 11:13-14.
• 26:06 “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,
• 26:09 transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
• 26:12 And no wonder!
• 26:14 For Satan himself transforms himself
• 26:16 into an angel of light.”
• 26:19 Josh: You know, Nimrod was in essence
• 26:21 Satan’s heir, right?
• 26:23 He was, if not indwelled by Satan, at least
• 26:26 part of his little DNA scheme, I like to call it
• 26:29 the pyramid scheme, because they tricking
• 26:30 everybody into being a part of their bloodline.
• 26:33 But he was a part of that bloodline,
• 26:35 and so he was really one of the biggest
• 26:37 proponents of pushing that on through the ages.
• 26:40 He pushed the idea of a polytheistic
• 26:43 pagan worship system, and it kept going
• 26:47 on through the ages.
• 26:48 People continued to worship B’nai Elohim,
• 26:50 continued to worship Nephilim, and I think
• 26:51 that it all really began there with Nimrod.
• 26:53 Caleb: I believe so as well.
• 26:55 This Sumerian polytheistic worship
• 26:57 that he started, he was more Duke Baal,
• 26:59 but you see the same rebranding nature of it.
• 27:03 Sun worship, enlightenment worship going
• 27:06 on through the ages.
• 27:07 I even believe it’s connected with Buddhism
• 27:10 and Baha’i faith and all these– Mormonism, these different cults
• 27:15 throughout the ages.
• 27:16 But the point of all of it is, it’s false,
• 27:19 and it requires the deification
• 27:20 of all these different gods, anything that’s
• 27:22 not the one true God.
• 27:24 And we can’t focus on that, but still, I find
• 27:27 that the hybridization is still mixed
• 27:30 with all these gods and goddess worship,
• 27:33 you know, gibborim, but that’s
• 27:35 part of the upcoming story that I feel is most important.
• 27:39 In Greece, they talk about Gigantomachy,
• 27:42 this war between giants and gods.
• 27:44 It’s very important to the story coming up
• 27:47 in Nimrod’s rebellion.
• 27:49 So I think we need to hop on a plane to go back
• 27:51 to Greece and learn more about this story.
• 27:53 Josh: Another border?
• 27:54 Caleb: Another border, why not?
• 27:56 Josh: I’m very border-tired. Okay, let us go.
• 28:00 Back to Greece!
• 28:01 Caleb: First-class, I promise.
• 28:02 Josh: Yeah, yeah, most definitely,
• 28:04 we’ll fit very well.
