ONE OF the most important finds in the history of biblical archaeology is threatened.

The Israeli government recently stopped a construction project that would have built a Palestinian village on top of the ruins of Joshua’s altar. At least, the project is stopped for now—there is no guarantee that the work has been halted for good.

Aaron Lipkin (www.altarofjoshua.com) CEO of Lipkin Tours (www.lipkintours.com), discovered the construction during a visit to the site with his father, Avi. He tells us how he alerted Israeli government authorities to the construction, why the Palestinian Authority was able to launch this project to erase a critical piece of Jewish (and Christian) history, and what we can do to help.

Our Build Barn Better project is making progress! The building now has HVAC along with a new floor, windows, insulation, ceiling fans, and an upgraded electrical system! Next, we’ll hang wall paneling and then move our studios and book/DVD warehouse and shipping office out of our home and across the yard into the Barn.

WHEN ARE GODS not gods? When they’re rebranded as human judges or rulers to avoid uncomfortable theological implications.

Brian Godawa (www.Godawa.com), best-selling author of the theological thriller Cruel Logic, Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, and Dr. Judd Burton (www.BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview with the Giant, discuss a Hebrew phrase in Genesis 6:2 that has led to a lot of theological discussion over the last 1,700 years. Are the bene ha-elohim (“sons of God”) angelic beings or is that simply a term that refers to human rulers who allowed themselves to be corrupted.

Psalm 82 reads like a courtroom scene in heaven if one accepts the supernatural interpretation of “sons of God” or “sons of the Most High.” However, because Jesus quotes Psalm 82:6 (“I said, ‘You are gods’”) in John 10:34, responding to a group of Jews who wanted to stone him for claiming to be divine, there are those who argue that Psalm 82 does not refer to supernatural beings.

We discuss Jesus’s use of Psalm 82 in John 10; in a nutshell, he would not have claimed to be divine (“I and the Father are one” – John 10:30) and then immediately said, in effect, “But it’s OK because you’re all gods, too.”

Iron and Myth 29: Gods or Human Judges?

IT’S BIZARRE that world opinion has swung against Israel in its ongoing war in Gaza.

Less than eight months ago, a murderous death cult swarmed out of Gaza, murdering more than 1,200 and abducting another 200. Yet the tone of media coverage could lead one to conclude that Israel was the aggressor in this conflict. The longer Hamas delays the release of the remaining 130 or so hostages, its only leverage over Israel, the greater the pressure applied to Israel by the rest of the world including its primary military supporter, the United States.

Last week, we traveled to Israel with a small group from the US, UK, and New Zealand to see things for ourselves, without the corporate media filter. We visited communities in the Negev that border Gaza: Sderot, where the police station was besieged and overrun; Ofakim, where a quick-thinking Jewish grandmother stalled terrorists with her cooking until her police officer son could round up counterterror forces; and Re’im, site of the Nova Music Festival, where 364 Israelis died that morning—the single deadliest terror event in Israel’s modern history.

Thanks to Mike Kerr and Jeannie Moore of Hear the Watchmen (hearthewatchmen.com), we present a one-hour summary of our trip to Israel, including never-before-seen video from ground zero of the Israel-Hamas War.

Solidarity with Israel

AS THE WORLD hurtles toward the Second Coming, you have a unique mission for our King.

That’s not to say God needs us to wield His sword. He will handle that on His own when the time comes. Meanwhile, discerning your divine mission can help you live with a sense of clarity and purpose while sharing the hope you have in Christ with your family, friends, and colleagues.

Retired U.S. Army Colonel David Giammona and Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist Troy Anderson join us to discuss their new book, Your Mission in God’s Army (https://amzn.to/3JHh7Tt). They explain what it means to walk in supernatural power, protection, and provision; how to glean wisdom from U.S. military intelligence tactics and strategies; and powerful techniques and disciplines used by biblical heroes.

Your Mission in God's Army

YOU CANNOT understand the supernatural conflict described in the Bible if you don’t understand what happened in Genesis 6:1–4.

Gary Wayne joins us to discuss The Genesis 6 Conspiracy Part 2 (https://amzn.to/3Qo3Jro), a well-researched and detailed sequel to his best-selling book. We explore the Genesis 6 event, the importance of understanding prehistory and giants in relation to end time prophecy, and the distinction between Nephilim, Rephaim, and Gibborim.

Gary explains that the first book focuses on the connection between Genesis 6 and secret societies, while the second book delves deeper into the biblical basis for understanding giants and their role in the post-Flood world. We also touch on the Jesuits, the battles of Israel against giants, and the significance of the terms Nephilim, Rephaim, and Gibborim in biblical context.

The Genesis 6 Conspiracy Part 2

THERE IS A RISING TIDE of anti-Semitism in the body of Christ. It’s time for believers to address this issue.

Mark Sutherland (MarkSutherland.org) joins us to discuss the geopolitical struggles involving Israel and the rise of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. We examine the importance of understanding biblical prophecies and the significance of Jerusalem in these events.

We also address irresponsible reporting by the corporate media and misinformation surrounding Israel and the Jewish people. The conversation delves into the history of Zionism, the establishment of Israel, and the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The decline of Christianity in the Middle East is increasing, down from 20% of the population a century ago to 5% today, but it isn’t due to Jewish persecution. Understanding history is critical to informed discussions about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
