  • 00:18 Joshua Colson: Nephilim, this
  • 00:21 Hebrew word is sometimes interchanged for giants, but more directly it means the
  • 00:24 fallen ones.
  • 00:25 And the Hebrew root nafal, to fall or to fall a violent death.
  • 00:31 It’s no coincidence that the first image a Christian
  • 00:34 associates with these fallen ones is with fallen angels, but
  • 00:38 the actual story that’s described in the Bible is much
  • 00:40 more complex than a band of one third of the angels that follow
  • 00:44 Lucifer to rebellion.
  • 00:46 That’s because this story involves a new rebellion and a
  • 00:49 different class of angelic beings known as B’nai Elohim.
  • 00:53 Join us as we trace the history of the Nephilim from past to
  • 00:57 present in order to better understand the prophetic
  • 01:00 implications of what is to come when we uncover the mystery of
  • 01:06 the “Return of the Nephilim.”

  • 02:37 Joshua: Whoa, what is this place?
  • 02:39 Caleb Colson: Josh, this is Eden Paradise.
  • 02:42 Joshua: Whoa, boop.
  • 02:44 In Eden, the velociraptors aren’t mean.
  • 02:46 They love me.
  • 02:48 Caleb: They are nice.
  • 02:49 Look at this beauty.
  • 02:50 I think, Josh, before we study the end of time of all things,
  • 02:53 it’s so important to study the beginning of all things, the
  • 02:57 beginning of this glory of this paradise, because it’s going to
  • 03:00 help us understand the end of time, Josh.
  • 03:03 When we get to the end of creation, everything comes back
  • 03:07 and is renewed by Yeshua, who rules as the last Adam.
  • 03:10 It’s going to be like a paradise again.
  • 03:12 I mean, scripture explains that.
  • 03:14 I mean, look at these beautiful–
  • 03:16 Joshua: Oh.
  • 03:17 Caleb: No, wait, wait.
  • 03:19 That’s the bad one.
  • 03:20 Joshua: Is that the bad one?
  • 03:21 Caleb: That’s the bad tree.
  • 03:23 We can’t touch that.
  • 03:24 Joshua: Maybe that’s how Eve was so easily tricked.
  • 03:26 It’s just so beautiful.
  • 03:27 Caleb: In Isaiah and Ezekiel in the Revelation, you have
  • 03:28 a high mountains.
  • 03:30 You have a river of water of life that flows throughout this
  • 03:31 garden, this paradise.
  • 03:33 You have trees where you eat the leaves, and you’re
  • 03:35 restored again.
  • 03:36 Joshua: It’s the nachash.
  • 03:38 Get me behind me, Satan.
  • 03:39 I’m putting you under my foot.
  • 03:40 Get out. Come on, get.
  • 03:42 Caleb: But this serpent, this nachash, he
  • 03:44 corrupted everything.
  • 03:46 We’re still living in that corrupted Earth.
  • 03:47 Joshua: Well, I think it’s so important that we’re getting to
  • 03:50 see this because a lot of times I think people look at the Bible
  • 03:53 as just a metaphor, and so they don’t think, oh, it’s going to
  • 03:55 physically go back to an Eden state.
  • 03:57 Maybe they think that like emotional Eden, but you’re
  • 04:00 saying that it’s going to physically return to it.
  • 04:02 Caleb: It is physically going to return, but a lot of bad happens
  • 04:05 before then because Satan is a counterfeit of what’s good.
  • 04:08 He cannot create new things.
  • 04:09 He can only pervert and destroy it, so he’s going to try to
  • 04:13 pervert creation once again.
  • 04:14 He’s actually doing it right now, but he’s got a plan, I
  • 04:17 believe, that he set up in Genesis 6, that he’s gonna go
  • 04:20 back to in the very end.
  • 04:22 Satan is going to try to change genetics.
  • 04:25 It’s a very important story of how the fall came, but it’s also
  • 04:30 gonna show us how he’s gonna bring about a fall again,
  • 04:34 or at least try to at the end of time.
  • 04:36 Joshua: Do you think he’s gonna have an Ankylosaurus with
  • 04:37 a really long neck like a giraffe?
  • 04:39 Because then that’s really weird, long purple tongue, and I
  • 04:42 mean, it makes sense, I guess.
  • 04:44 ♪♪♪
  • 04:50 Caleb: So the conclusion, Josh, of Satan’s first, you know,
  • 04:54 genetic tampering with the DNA of mankind in Genesis 6 ended
  • 04:57 with the flood, and we have this worldwide judgment that brought
  • 05:01 upon destruction of all human life on Earth.
  • 05:05 And it temporarily set back Satan’s plans, but you know he’s
  • 05:08 going to try the same thing again and again.
  • 05:10 Joshua: Temporary is in the grand scheme of all
  • 05:11 eternity temporary.
  • 05:13 Like it’s only gonna take me a few thousand years to redo this.
  • 05:15 Caleb: That’s right.
  • 05:17 That’s why I propose in this very first season of “Return of
  • 05:19 the Nephilim,” we go to Israel, we go to Greece, we go to
  • 05:22 Jordan, we go to the origins of all his perverted monstrosities
  • 05:27 and tell the truth about how Yeshua made a way for Messiah to
  • 05:31 come and his lineage to make that perfect plan of redemption
  • 05:35 for mankind.
  • 05:37 Joshua: Are you going to make me go find a minotaur again?
  • 05:39 Caleb: Yeah, it is possible.
  • 05:41 But first we have to go to the origins of all life, of all
  • 05:44 civilization, Eden itself.
  • 05:46 I know most people think it’s from Mesopotamia, you know, this
  • 05:50 region, you know, where there was two rivers, the river
  • 05:53 Euphrates and Tigris, but ancient Hebrew scholars believed
  • 05:56 something different.
  • 05:57 They believed it was a different location where Eden is, and to
  • 06:00 tell that story, we have to hop on a plane to Israel.
  • 06:03 And I think our plane leaves in an hour.
  • 06:05 ♪♪♪
  • 06:11 Joshua: Why am I so sweaty?
  • 06:13 Why does everything smell like curry?
  • 06:15 Caleb: We haven’t even left Texas yet.
  • 06:16 Joshua: Oh, no.
  • 06:19 Caleb: Now it gets on. Joshua: Never mind.
  • 06:20 Caleb: It was you. Joshua: Figured it out.
  • 06:27 Joshua: When mountains are identified in the Bible, they
  • 06:29 are for a very specific purpose, an overarching theme linked with
  • 06:33 power, rule, and worship.
  • 06:35 A mountain was a place of higher elevation where the gods would
  • 06:38 reside and meet with man.
  • 06:40 They were gateways into higher heavenly dimensions.
  • 06:43 Moses climbed Mount Horeb, AKA Mount Sinai, to speak to God and
  • 06:48 receive the law of the Old Covenant.
  • 06:50 Abraham was called to sacrifice Isaac on Mount Moriah.
  • 06:54 Solomon committed idolatry, building shrines to pagan gods
  • 06:58 in the Mount of Olives.
  • 07:00 Elijah would contend with the prophets of Baal on
  • 07:02 Mount Carmel.
  • 07:04 Yeshua Jesus would climb a mountain to pray to his Father.
  • 07:09 He was transfigured on top of a mountain.
  • 07:13 None of this is a coincidence.
  • 07:18 Psalm 48:1-2, “Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised,
  • 07:22 in the city of our God, in His holy mountain.
  • 07:25 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth is Mount Zion
  • 07:30 on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.”
  • 07:36 Caleb: You know, Josh, today in Israel, in Jerusalem, Mount Zion
  • 07:40 is not the location of the Bible times.
  • 07:42 It’s actually southwest of the Temple Mount.
  • 07:46 Now, if you look at in the past, Mount Zion was the same place
  • 07:51 that Abraham ascended to sacrifice Isaac.
  • 07:54 It’s the same place where Solomon’s temple resided.
  • 07:57 Today, the Temple Mount is called Mount Moriah, but before
  • 08:01 the flood, I believe that Mount Zion had this very specific
  • 08:06 identity and structure that we don’t see with it today because
  • 08:09 many scientists believe that before the flood, the earth was
  • 08:14 composed of a single supercontinent, Pangaea,
  • 08:17 exactly, which is one thing surrounded by water, and the
  • 08:20 topography was totally different.
  • 08:21 It was more flat, but there are specific mountains that
  • 08:24 God created.
  • 08:25 And in scripture, Mount Eden was the highest location in the
  • 08:29 entire planet.
  • 08:31 Joshua: Like the Garden of Eden Eden?
  • 08:32 You’re trying to tell me the Garden of Eden was
  • 08:35 a high altitude?
  • 08:36 Caleb: It was called the Mountain of God in Eden.
  • 08:38 And so I call it Mount Eden, but Mount Eden stretched all the way
  • 08:42 up into heaven, and scripture describes it as being like a
  • 08:46 transdimensional highway that connected the earth to the
  • 08:49 heavenly dimension.
  • 08:51 Joshua: Did you have to hit any buttons, or do we know
  • 08:52 how that works?
  • 08:54 Caleb: I guess you had to walk up.
  • 08:55 It was a lot of work.
  • 08:56 For angels, they flew up and down.
  • 08:58 But on the top of Mount Eden, which is also called the
  • 09:01 Mountain of Congregation, was a council room, the throne room of
  • 09:04 God, and he would sit among the B’nai Elohim, the sons of God.
  • 09:10 And with council they would rule.
  • 09:11 They would decide on matters for the earth.
  • 09:14 Now, in the cool of the evening, Genesis describes God coming
  • 09:19 down from the throne, down the mountain, and walking in the
  • 09:22 cool of the evening with Adam in the garden.
  • 09:24 He was having a relationship with him, you know?
  • 09:26 Joshua: That’s pretty legit to see God like, “All right, my
  • 09:28 boy, what are we thinking?
  • 09:30 Do you really want to call those things arachnids?
  • 09:33 What if we just call them love bugs?
  • 09:34 Oh, none of the girls will believe it?
  • 09:36 Okay, fine, you can call them spiders.”
  • 09:37 Caleb: You know, after a flood, everything was different.
  • 09:39 And when the tectonic plates crashed together, it created
  • 09:42 these mountains that weren’t there before the flood, and
  • 09:45 they’re more jagged and stuff.
  • 09:47 So what I believe is currently Mount Eden is more flat, and I
  • 09:51 believe it’s Mount Moriah, but I think we should go and take a
  • 09:53 closer look and really delve into the mystery of what’s going
  • 09:56 on here.
  • 09:57 Joshua: We can go there?
  • 09:59 Caleb: Well, we can try.
  • 10:00 I think we’ve been kicked out a few times.
  • 10:01 We may not be able to make it to the top of.
  • 10:03 Joshua: They put our pictures over there by the milk carton.
  • 10:05 “Here’s the kids they lost, and here’s the kids who can’t go
  • 10:07 to the Temple Mount anymore.”
  • 10:08 We’re those kids.
  • 10:09 Caleb: We’ll see how close we can get.
  • 10:11 Joshua: Yeah, let’s do it.
  • 10:17 Genesis 2:8, 10-14, “The LORD God planted a garden eastward in
  • 10:22 Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.
  • 10:26 Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there
  • 10:29 it parted and became four river heads.
  • 10:32 The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts the
  • 10:36 whole land of Havilah.
  • 10:38 The name of the second is Gihon; it is one which goes around the
  • 10:42 whole land of Cush.
  • 10:44 The name of the third is Hiddekel; and it is the one
  • 10:47 which goes towards the east of Assyria.
  • 10:49 The fourth is the Euphrates.”
  • 10:54 Oh, well, we are back.
  • 10:57 My little brother said we’d be back.
  • 10:58 I said, “No, we won’t.
  • 11:00 I’m not going back to the Temple Mount again.”
  • 11:01 He said, “Yes, you will.”
  • 11:03 I said, “No, I won’t,” and well, I lost.
  • 11:04 So if things seem shaky, janky, and all over the place, well,
  • 11:06 it’s because we’re not supposed to be here.
  • 11:08 We’re not supposed to be doing this.
  • 11:09 Caleb: We wanted to talk about this important Eden story
  • 11:13 because we believe this is Mount Eden.
  • 11:16 And you were just reading the scripture of the four
  • 11:18 riverheads, Josh, and those came down out of Eden and went to the
  • 11:22 four corners of the earth.
  • 11:24 So when you look at modern rivers like the Tigris and
  • 11:26 Euphrates, they cannot be the same rivers that are mentioned
  • 11:30 in that passage in Eden because the topography of the land is
  • 11:33 different; mountains, rugged terrain, different flow of
  • 11:37 rivers since before the flood, you know?
  • 11:40 And we know that certain rivers like the Gihon are in existence
  • 11:43 today, even though people don’t think they are.
  • 11:46 They’re at the city of David.
  • 11:48 They don’t flow to Ethiopia like they used to.
  • 11:51 So now we can focus on the name etymology of Pishon
  • 11:55 and Hiddekel.
  • 11:57 It talks about strong currents and rapids, which usually means
  • 12:01 it’s a river that flows down a mountain.
  • 12:03 Well, mountain of God here, river flows down the mountain,
  • 12:06 and then it goes through Eden.
  • 12:08 It would split into four river heads, go to the four corners of
  • 12:12 the earth, and that’s why the story’s very interesting because
  • 12:16 this is where we are right now, and many people don’t
  • 12:20 believe it.
  • 12:22 They think it was in Mesopotamia, Eden.
  • 12:24 This is the location right here, Temple Mount, just a little
  • 12:28 flatter than it used to be.
  • 12:30 ♪♪♪
  • 12:33 Joshua: Micah 4:1-2, “In the last days the mountain of the
  • 12:37 LORD’s temple will be established as the highest of
  • 12:40 mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and peoples
  • 12:43 will stream to it.
  • 12:45 Many nations will come and say, Come, let us go up to the
  • 12:48 mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the God of Jacob.
  • 12:51 He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in His paths.
  • 12:55 The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD
  • 12:57 from Jerusalem.”
  • 13:01 Caleb: Josh, I think it’s interesting how God returns the
  • 13:05 earth to the same state it was before the fall.
  • 13:09 During the millennial reign, it’s once again you see this
  • 13:12 high mountain.
  • 13:13 You see these rivers of water of life.
  • 13:16 Ezekiel 40 through 47 describes this new complex of a temple on
  • 13:21 the side near the top of this mountain, and water flows out
  • 13:24 from under the throne of God and down the mountain and gives life
  • 13:27 again to the earth.
  • 13:28 And that’s exactly what it did in the first Eden, which is why
  • 13:32 I believe the water that flowed down Mount Eden originally was
  • 13:36 also from the throne of God.
  • 13:38 So, pretty cool.
  • 13:41 Joshua: Ezekiel 47:1, “Then he brought me back to the door of
  • 13:45 the temple; and there was water, flowing from under the threshold
  • 13:48 of the temple towards the east, for the front of the temple
  • 13:51 faced east.”
  • 13:54 Zechariah 14:8, “On that day living water will flow out from
  • 13:58 Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west
  • 14:02 to the Mediterranean Sea in summer and in winter.”
  • 14:07 So why would the Temple Mount be here?
  • 14:09 Why would it be in this exact location?
  • 14:11 Well, ground-penetrating radar has shown that there’s a fault
  • 14:14 line that’s under Jerusalem, right under this spot, and we
  • 14:19 know that there is a river right in that spot as well.
  • 14:22 So when Yeshua steps down, splits it wide open, and that
  • 14:26 river runs out, the Jews are able to escape safely, and it’s
  • 14:29 all gonna happen from right here.
  • 14:30 Caleb: I believe it too, Josh, and it’s interesting that the
  • 14:33 design of the temple, the tabernacle, always mimicked the
  • 14:37 Garden of Eden.
  • 14:38 You know, the entrance faced east, just like the entrance to
  • 14:41 the temple faced east.
  • 14:43 There was cherubim guarding the entrance, obviously, to the
  • 14:45 Holy of Holies.
  • 14:46 Inside you had golden walls and engravings of palm trees, fruit
  • 14:50 trees, pomegranate trees.
  • 14:52 And of course, you had the Ark of the Covenant, the seed of
  • 14:55 God, the throne of God, the Holy of Holies, and you had to ascend
  • 14:59 up into that from the holy place.
  • 15:02 And we know that the ascent was supposed to mimic the ascent up
  • 15:05 the mountain of God, where the throne room was on top.
  • 15:09 And of course, the water that flowed out of Eden, out of the
  • 15:12 garden, just like it flowed out of the throne.
  • 15:15 But really, the mountain was special because it was supposed
  • 15:18 to be a transdimensional gateway, a stairway to heaven,
  • 15:22 just like Jacob saw the stairway to heaven with angels ascending
  • 15:26 and descending to heaven, and that was the gateway from heaven
  • 15:30 to earth.
  • 15:31 And eventually, when everything returns to the state it’s
  • 15:34 supposed to at the end of the world, we will have that giant
  • 15:37 mountain again, being the gateway between the two.
  • 15:41 The new Jerusalem will just be down and be the connecting
  • 15:44 pathway, so it’s pretty cool.
  • 15:50 Joshua: Revelation 21:1-2, “Then I saw ‘a new heaven and a new
  • 15:54 earth,’ for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,
  • 15:57 and there was no longer any sea.
  • 15:59 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of
  • 16:02 heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for
  • 16:05 her husband.”
  • 16:08 You see, after the millennial reign, Yeshua is gonna destroy
  • 16:10 this old earth and the old heaven.
  • 16:12 He’s gonna create a new heaven and a new earth, and there’s not
  • 16:14 gonna be a need for a temple, but there’s still gonna be
  • 16:16 a river of life that’s flowing down.
  • 16:19 Caleb: That’s true, Josh, and we can see that in Revelation 22:1,
  • 16:24 where it says, “Then the angel showed me the river of the water
  • 16:27 of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God
  • 16:32 and of the Lamb.”
  • 16:33 But you know, this mystery that I really wanted to talk about is
  • 16:39 what was on top of that mountain of God.
  • 16:42 It was the divine council, Josh, and most people don’t understand
  • 16:46 this concept that, in scripture, it talks about gods that ruled
  • 16:51 up on top of this mountain with El Elyon, the Most High God.
  • 16:56 And in our, you know, Western culture, we hear gods and we
  • 17:00 think, “That’s polytheism.
  • 17:02 That can’t be God.”
  • 17:03 But you know, the etymology of God is different in the East, so
  • 17:07 there’s a different part of that story, and most people
  • 17:10 don’t understand.
  • 17:11 People in the East understood that throughout every culture,
  • 17:15 like Greece and all these things, you see a council of
  • 17:17 gods that sit upon a mountain, you know, Mount Olympus.
  • 17:22 So to tell that story, I think it’s time to head to Greece, to
  • 17:26 Mount Olympus itself, and see more of what that really means
  • 17:30 of that original council of gods, because that’s just Satan
  • 17:34 counterfeiting the truth.
  • 17:35 Joshua: We gotta go to another mount?
  • 17:37 Got to go from the Temple Mount to Mount Olympus where all
  • 17:38 the other bad guys are?
  • 17:40 Caleb: Why not?
  • 17:41 Joshua: I guess, bad guys everywhere.
  • 17:47 Joshua: Most Bible scholars fail to realize that the Eden which
  • 17:50 Adam and Eve were created in was the second Eden.
  • 17:55 The first Eden was the dominion of an archangel, a guardian
  • 17:58 cherub named Lucifer.
  • 18:01 The prophet Ezekiel prophesied of this past mount Eden
  • 18:04 and Lucifer.
  • 18:10 Ezekiel 28:12-15, “Thus says the Lord GOD: ‘You were the seal of
  • 18:15 perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
  • 18:18 You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was
  • 18:22 your covering.'”
  • 18:23 God describes the beautiful gemstones and the musical
  • 18:26 instruments built into Lucifer.
  • 18:28 “You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you;
  • 18:32 you were on the holy mountain of God; you walked back and forth
  • 18:35 in the midst of the fiery stones.
  • 18:37 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
  • 18:40 Till iniquity was found in you.”
  • 18:45 Joshua: Whoa, you’re not strong enough.
  • 18:47 All right, you’re strong enough.
  • 18:49 You’re just not heavy enough.
  • 18:50 Oh, man.
  • 18:51 Caleb: Beautiful.
  • 18:53 Joshua: Okay, I have a question, legitimate.
  • 18:55 Why are we in Crete when we’re supposed to be on Mount Olympus?
  • 18:58 Caleb: Well, we’re gonna climb Mount Ida first.
  • 19:00 It’s really cool.
  • 19:02 I wanted to see that representation of a mountain of
  • 19:05 what these spiritual beings were trying to do and get to the
  • 19:08 top of.
  • 19:09 Joshua: But I mean, why not go to the shorter, easier
  • 19:11 Mount Olympus?
  • 19:12 Caleb: Mount Olympus is 10,000 feet.
  • 19:14 This is 8,000.
  • 19:15 What would you prefer?
  • 19:16 Joshua: We should stay on Mount Ida, the mountain named after a
  • 19:19 potato during the Depression.
  • 19:21 Caleb: Josh, in Ezekiel 28, we give this very important
  • 19:23 description that in Eden was a mountain, the mountain of God,
  • 19:28 and upon the mountain of God were the stones of fire.
  • 19:31 I believe it’s a visual representation of the
  • 19:33 B’nai Elohim.
  • 19:35 I’m going to talk more about that when we get to a very
  • 19:36 specific location later.
  • 19:38 Joshua: One sec, I got a question.
  • 19:39 Caleb: Yes?
  • 19:41 Joshua: You’re a stone of fire on the top of the mountain.
  • 19:42 Caleb: Okay. Joshua: Why ever come down?
  • 19:45 Caleb: Well, you don’t want to.
  • 19:46 You want to do what your intended purpose is.
  • 19:47 Joshua: I’m stone of fire.
  • 19:49 Caleb: But Lucifer was allowed to walk among the stones of
  • 19:50 fire, yet he decided to come down.
  • 19:53 It’s because he wanted a seat that was higher than the
  • 19:56 mountain, the throne El Elyon sat upon.
  • 19:59 And so then when we read Isaiah 14, we get what I call the “I
  • 20:02 will” passage in which Lucifer’s like, “I will do this.
  • 20:05 I will sit higher.
  • 20:07 I will be this.”
  • 20:08 It gives his entire motivation for every action he’s doing
  • 20:12 throughout history, and it’s all to sit as king of the hill on
  • 20:15 the highest mountain and get all the glory and praise more than
  • 20:19 God himself.
  • 20:20 Joshua: So before Freud could say anything, he was the first
  • 20:22 little man, king of the hill, drive a big truck, compensation
  • 20:26 Jones spirit.
  • 20:27 Caleb: You’re going to make a lot of people mad, bad-mouthing
  • 20:29 big trucks.
  • 20:30 Joshua: No, as long as they’re driving for the right reason.
  • 20:32 That’s all. I don’t know.
  • 20:35 Oh my gosh, it does not want to go up this road.
  • 20:37 I don’t think I’m gonna be able to walk in a straight line
  • 20:39 for the rest of the trip.
  • 20:42 Caleb: So, Josh, can you drive a little more carefully?
  • 20:47 I’m about to throw up.
  • 20:49 Are you eating Oreos?
  • 20:50 Joshua: I’m starving.
  • 20:52 This drive is beautiful.
  • 20:53 It’s so scenic, so much nature.
  • 20:54 I’m having a good time.
  • 20:57 Isaiah 14:12-14, “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer,
  • 21:02 son of the morning!
  • 21:03 How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened
  • 21:06 the nations!
  • 21:08 For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I
  • 21:10 will exalt my throne above the stars (the angels or sons)
  • 21:14 of God; I will also sit on the mount of congregation on the
  • 21:18 farthest side of the north; I will ascend above the heights of
  • 21:21 the clouds, I will be like the Most High.'”
  • 21:26 Caleb: Josh, this is Mount Ida, Mount Psiloritis as they also
  • 21:31 call it.
  • 21:32 It’s always been sacredly linked with Zeus, you know, because it
  • 21:36 was in a cave atop this mountain that Zeus was hidden from his
  • 21:39 father, Chronos, at birth until he could grow up and become
  • 21:43 strong and be able to contend with him one day.
  • 21:46 Joshua: Zeus then sounds a lot to me like Satan.
  • 21:49 Just kind of like, “I’m gonna climb to the top of the mountain
  • 21:51 and get the guy in charge out of there,” you know, because
  • 21:55 Lucifer, he was up there in the third heaven, and he didn’t have
  • 21:58 a good enough spot.
  • 22:00 He wanted to ascend to the top of the mountain to be the new
  • 22:03 chief god and dethrone Yahweh.
  • 22:05 Obviously, that didn’t go well for him.
  • 22:07 Satan was kicked out of what is referenced as the third heaven
  • 22:09 in scripture and cast down to the second heaven, the spirit
  • 22:13 world, around Earth as a punishment.
  • 22:16 He later becomes the prince of the power of the air thanks to
  • 22:19 Adam’s sin.
  • 22:20 Caleb: I can imagine how that can be frustrating for an
  • 22:22 eternal being stuck down in a less, a less glory, a more
  • 22:28 finite realm.
  • 22:29 But you remember I was reading Isaiah 14, and that also
  • 22:34 describes Mount Eden in that chapter also, the mountain of
  • 22:38 congregation, the mountain of God.
  • 22:40 So atop a mountain like this was where the council sat, this
  • 22:45 divine council, and they would rule in matters of the Lord.
  • 22:49 And that’s why everyone wanted to sit on top of this mountain
  • 22:53 here, but the language is very specific and important, Josh,
  • 22:57 because we get this repetition, you know, not just in Isaiah 14,
  • 23:01 but we also get this repetition in Psalms, where it says in
  • 23:05 Psalm 48:1-2, “In His holy mountain.
  • 23:09 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount
  • 23:13 Zion on the sides of the north.”
  • 23:16 See, on the sides of the north, just like the other chapters
  • 23:19 written in Isaiah 14, the sides of the north, this mount of
  • 23:23 congregation, it’s the same language as Ezekiel 28.
  • 23:26 This is specific.
  • 23:27 God’s trying to tell us this was where his throne was at.
  • 23:31 Joshua: Wow.
  • 23:32 Hey, do you think we should hike up to the top, and then fall
  • 23:34 down and see what it felt like to be Satan?
  • 23:36 Caleb: Uh, no.
  • 23:37 Joshua: All right.
  • 23:39 Psalm 8:4-6, “What Is man that you are mindful of him…
  • 23:43 and the Son of Man, that you visit him…
  • 23:46 For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and you
  • 23:48 have crowned him with glory and honor, You have made him to have
  • 23:52 dominion over the works of Your hands.
  • 23:54 You have put all things under his feet.”
  • 23:57 Caleb: Man, well, very important part of this story, Josh.
  • 24:02 Joshua: Yeah.
  • 24:03 Caleb: This mount of congregation that Lucifer had
  • 24:07 access to, to the highest throne of God, well, he stood before
  • 24:11 Yahweh himself, you know, to direct his choirs of heaven.
  • 24:15 But every once in a while, God would leave his throne, descend
  • 24:19 the mountain of God to come down to have communion with Adam.
  • 24:23 Scripture says he walked with Adam in the Garden of Eden.
  • 24:26 He talked with him.
  • 24:28 Lucifer couldn’t understand this.
  • 24:30 What is this creation, this Adam?
  • 24:32 Why is he so important?
  • 24:33 He’s made lesser than the angels, not as powerful, yet God
  • 24:38 has crowned him with his own glory, made him in his
  • 24:40 own image.
  • 24:41 Joshua: Well, he did eventually fall, so he wasn’t the smartest
  • 24:43 cherub in the shed.
  • 24:45 We know that much at least, and now he’s gonna take on the
  • 24:47 persona of the nachash and he’s angry at this Adam, right?
  • 24:50 He’s like, “How come this guy, who is worthless and butt naked,
  • 24:55 is going to be the one to have all of this stuff?”
  • 24:58 Because now Adam has been given the possession of this realm.
  • 25:01 And so he goes over there, and he tricks Eve, as we know, into
  • 25:05 eating the fruit of the knowledge of the tree of good
  • 25:07 and evil.
  • 25:08 And the second they do, and then Adam does, he transfers
  • 25:12 officially the title for that brand new, whatever the year
  • 25:16 was, Earth.
  • 25:17 Caleb: Earth.
  • 25:19 Joshua: And says, “Here you go,” and he gives it to Satan,
  • 25:20 and now Satan has dominion.
  • 25:22 Caleb: It’s terrible.
  • 25:23 Joshua: Oh, I was not ready to Greek sled ski.
  • 25:27 Caleb: I wonder if there was snow before the fall.
  • 25:33 Joshua: Genesis 3:8, “And they heard the sound of the Lord God
  • 25:36 walking in the Garden, in the cool of the day, and Adam and
  • 25:40 his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord among the
  • 25:42 trees of the Garden.”
  • 25:45 Caleb: You know, Josh, God doesn’t let the serpent get off
  • 25:49 scot-free, that nachash, he curses him.
  • 25:52 And he has to curse Adam and Eve as well, and they’re doomed to
  • 25:55 die one day.
  • 25:57 They gave up their immortality, their glorified bodies.
  • 26:01 But God warns this nachash, Satan, that one day out of this
  • 26:05 woman would come a Messiah that would crush his head.
  • 26:09 You know, Genesis 3:15 says, “And I will put enmity between
  • 26:13 you and the woman, between your seat and her seed.
  • 26:16 He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”
  • 26:20 Joshua: Now, Satan knew at this point what he had to do.
  • 26:23 He had to stop that seed of the woman.
  • 26:24 He had to stop that lineage from happening, so that wasn’t
  • 26:27 ever gonna be the case, so that the Messiah couldn’t be born, so
  • 26:30 that the Jewish people, he just, he had to take out a lot to keep
  • 26:34 himself from receiving that final judgment that he knew was
  • 26:36 gonna happen.
  • 26:37 He was gonna get that heel right on his head, but how?
  • 26:42 Caleb: This is gonna be a journey unlike anything we’ve
  • 26:44 ever been through, Josh, a war of genetics, gods versus
  • 26:49 the God.
  • 26:50 You’re not gonna believe where I have planned for us to go.
  • 26:53 Joshua: Uh, but when you say planned for us to go, like where
  • 26:55 are you planning to go?
  • 26:57 Caleb: Start up here, as we begin the “Return of
  • 27:00 the Nephilim.”
  • 27:02 Joshua: But that’s a mountain, brother.
  • 27:03 Caleb: I know.
  • 27:04 We’re going up the mountain, yep.
  • 27:06 Joshua: Where’s the escalator?
  • 27:07 Caleb: There’s no escalator.
  • 27:08 Joshua: Where–is there a tuk-tuk?
  • 27:10 Caleb: Nope.
  • 27:11 Joshua: Is there anything other than my legs to boot me up?
  • 27:14 Caleb: No.
  • 27:16 Joshua: Why do you always have such healthy ideas?
  • 27:19 How far do we have to go?
  • 27:21 The whole way?
  • 27:23 Caleb: Yeah.
  • 27:24 Joshua: Next week on the “Bearded Bible Brothers.”
  • 27:27 2,918 meters to hike to get to the top, brother?
  • 27:32 I don’t remember you telling me this.
  • 27:33 Caleb: Metric system.
  • 27:34 Lucifer was only a cherub.
  • 27:36 He was granted access to the highest places of heaven, even
  • 27:40 up at the divine council.
  • 27:42 Joshua: Brother, yeah, this is incredible.
  • 27:44 Any doink that leaves this to go down anywhere is making
  • 27:47 a dumb decision.
  • 27:48 Are we gonna talk about that next week, by the way?
  • 27:50 Caleb: No!
  • 27:52 Oh, we’re being abducted.
  • 27:54 There’s still one more story that I want to tell about the
  • 27:57 divine council ruing the B’nai Elohim.
  • 28:00 But for that, we’ve got to go to Jordan.
  • 28:02 Joshua: That’s not even in the same country.
  • 28:03 Caleb: Well, let’s hop a plane.
  • 28:06 Joshua: Did you know the “Bearded Bible Brothers” is an
  • 28:07 outreach of Zola Levitt Ministries?
  • 28:09 That means we are entirely donor-funded.
