A DONKEY displayed more discernment and wisdom than a man whose fame as a seer and prophet was renowned in the Jordan River valley for centuries. This week, we begin the story of Balaam son of Beor, hired by the Balak, the king of Moab, to curse Israel. We discuss God’s warning to Balaam, the identity of the Angel of YHWH, Balak’s changes of venue as he tried to find a more effective place for Balaam to cast his curse, and the Deir Alla inscription, which is solid evidence from outside the Bible that Balaam was a real person.

Balaam, the Prophet for Profit

Since March 2005, Derek and Sharon Gilbert have shared their take on cryptopolitics and things that go bump in the night. Those first podcasts, back when podcasting was a brand new idea, were rough–recorded through a jury-rigged setup of string, wire, duct tape, and a durable little Mac laptop.

Always ready to share a laugh and an opinion, the Gilberts emphasize the joy of living for Christ in the midst of doom and gloom news.

Their first podcast, PID (Peering Into Darkness) Radio connected Derek and Sharon to Tom Horn, L. A. Marzulli, Gary Stearman and Bob Ulrich (Prophecy Watchers), Steve Quayle, Dr. Michael Heiser, and too many others to mention.

Those relationships developed into research, writing, and broadcasting for SkyWatchTV, which spawned the programs SciFriday, Unraveling Revelation, and The Bible’s Greatest Mysteries, as well as cutting-edge books on theology and end-times prophecy like The Great Inception, Last Clash of the Titans, Bad Moon Rising, The Day the Earth Stands Still, Veneration, Giants Gods & Dragons, and The Second Coming of Saturn, as well as Sharon’s critically-acclaimed series of supernatural thrillers, The Redwing Saga.

Since 2014, the Gilberts have produced the weekly Gilbert House Fellowship, a verse-by-verse study of the Bible in chronological order.
