Who—or what—were the Anunnaki?

Ancient Mesopotamian texts describe supernatural beings, divine councils, mysterious knowledge, antediluvian sages and gods who interacted with humanity.

Modern theories have taken those stories in a very different direction, claiming the Anunnaki were extraterrestrials who came to Earth from a mysterious planet called Nibiru.

But what do the ancient texts actually say?And how does all of this compare with the Bible's descriptions of the sons of God, the Nephilim, fallen angels, divine councils and the unseen spiritual realm?

In this episode of Nessie & Nephilim, we dig into:Who the Anunnaki actually wereAnu, Enlil, Enki and InannaThe mysterious Apkallu and the seven antediluvian sagesAdapa and the idea of hidden knowledge

The question isn't simply whether the ancient world believed in gods.

What if some ancient cultures were actually encountering something supernatural—but interpreting it through their own religious systems?And ultimately, what does the Bible say about all of it?

Because there's a point where curiosity about the supernatural has to lead somewhere.

The supernatural world isn't the destination. Jesus is.

What if the angels described in the Bible look nothing like the angels we've been taught to picture?

Six wings. Multiple faces. Eyes covering wheels. Heavenly warriors. Mysterious beings who sometimes appear completely human.

And then there's 1 Enoch, the Watchers, Genesis 6, the Nephilim, fallen angels, demons, and the strange spiritual warfare described in Daniel 10.

In this episode of Nessie & Nephilim, Tim explores what Scripture actually says about angels—and then goes down some of the stranger rabbit holes surrounding the ancient supernatural world.

We explore:

• What biblical angels actually look like
• Cherubim and seraphim
• Ezekiel's wheels within wheels
• The Watchers and 1 Enoch
• Genesis 6 and the Nephilim
• Why Jude quotes Enoch
• Fallen angels and demons
• Modern encounters with angels
• Daniel 10 and spiritual warfare
• Whether demons could be connected to the Nephilim
• Why we should be curious about the supernatural without becoming obsessed with it
• And ultimately, why the angels themselves point us toward Jesus

Hundreds of police officers. Viral videos. Shadowy figures. Claims of 8-10 foot beings walking through a Miami mall.

In January 2024, the internet exploded with one of the strangest stories in recent memory. Was it simply a fight that spiraled into online mythology... or was there something more?

In this episode of Nessie Case Files, we investigate the evidence, explore the conspiracy theories, examine the biblical worldview surrounding the supernatural, and ask an even bigger question:

How should Christians respond if one day the impossible becomes reality?

Good investigators don't begin with conclusions.

They begin with curiosity.

Nine experienced hikers. One mountain. Zero survivors.

In 1959, a group of experienced Soviet mountaineers set out on what should have been a routine winter expedition. Weeks later, search teams discovered their tent cut open from the inside, footprints leading into the snow, and a mystery that has remained unsolved for more than 65 years.

Was it an avalanche?

A rare weather phenomenon?

Secret military testing?

Or something far stranger?

In the very first episode of Nessie Case Files, we investigate the evidence, examine the leading theories, and ask what Christians can learn about truth, discernment, and the limits of human knowledge.

Are UFOs extraterrestrial...
or is something far more spiritual taking place?

Award-winning filmmaker, theologian, and Princeton graduate Derrick Warfel joins the Nessie & Nephilim Podcast to discuss why the modern UFO phenomenon may have far more to do with the unseen realm than visitors from another planet.

We explore:

• Why UFO encounters often produce disturbing spiritual fruit

• Why so many experiencers tell similar stories

• What Hollywood gets wrong

• What the Bible says about deception

• Fallen angels, Nephilim, and the unseen realm

Whether you're skeptical, curious, or convinced, this conversation challenges you to ask a deeper question...

What if we've been asking the wrong question all along?

What if the biggest deception in history isn't behind us... but still ahead?

For our very first guest interview on Nessie & Nephilim, I sit down with researcher, filmmaker, and bestselling author L.A. Marzulli to discuss why he believes the world is moving toward an unprecedented supernatural deception—and why Christians need to understand the biblical worldview now more than ever.

We begin with one of Jesus' most mysterious statements:

"As it was in the days of Noah..."

Why did Jesus point us back to Noah instead of David, Moses, or Elijah? L.A. argues that understanding Genesis 3, Genesis 6, and the Nephilim is foundational to making sense of biblical prophecy and many of today's headlines. 

From there, the conversation moves into some of today's most controversial topics:

• Why UFO disclosure has accelerated in recent years
• Whether Roswell was more than just a historical mystery
• Alien abduction accounts and why L.A. believes they matter
• The idea of a coming global deception that could reshape how humanity views its origins
• Why Israel's rebirth in 1948 is central to biblical prophecy
• The evidence L.A. presents for the Shroud of Turin as a witness to Christ's resurrection 

Our hope isn't in having every answer.

Our hope is in Jesus Christ.

Whether you've been studying Genesis 6 for years or you've never heard of the Nephilim before, this conversation will challenge you to think biblically about the supernatural—and to stay grounded in Christ no matter what the future holds.

What did ancient civilizations know about the stars that we've forgotten?

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible speaks about the heavens far more than many Christians realize. The stars were created for signs and seasons, the Magi followed a mysterious star to Jesus, and Scripture repeatedly points our eyes upward—not to worship creation, but to worship the Creator.

In Episode 8 of Nessie & Nephilim, we explore the Star of Bethlehem, Genesis 1:14, Psalm 19, Job 38, the heavenly host, ancient astronomy versus astrology, and why Jesus warned people that they could interpret the sky but completely miss the Messiah standing right in front of them.

The goal isn't secret knowledge.

The goal isn't astrology.

The goal is discovering how the heavens ultimately point us to Jesus Christ.

For thousands of years, the Bible has described a world far bigger than most modern Christians imagine. Angels, demons, spiritual warfare, divine councils, supernatural encounters, prophetic visions, and unseen powers appear throughout Scripture, yet many believers rarely think about them.

In Episode 6 of Nessie & Nephilim, we explore Michael Heiser's concept of The Unseen Realm, the Divine Council of Psalm 82, the Tower of Babel and Deuteronomy 32, Daniel 10, spiritual warfare, angels, demons, and why Jesus confronted darkness so often during His earthly ministry.

Has the modern church lost the supernatural worldview of the Bible?

Topics include:

• Michael Heiser and The Unseen Realm
• Psalm 82 and the Divine Council
• Angels and demons in Scripture
• The Tower of Babel and Deuteronomy 32

• Daniel 10 and spiritual warfare
• Why Jesus cast out demons
• The supernatural worldview of the Bible
• Discernment vs fear
• How Christians should think about the unseen realm

The goal is not fear.

The goal is discernment rooted in Jesus Christ.

For thousands of years, civilizations across the world have told stories about dragons. Ancient China, Mesopotamia, Greece, Scandinavia, Mesoamerica, and even the Bible all contain accounts of dragons, serpents, sea monsters, and powerful supernatural creatures. Is this simply mythology, or could there be a deeper spiritual reality behind these stories?

In Episode 5 of Nessie & Nephilim, we explore dragon legends throughout history, ancient writings from Herodotus and Pliny the Elder, Leviathan in the Bible, the serpent in Eden, dragon symbolism in literature and film, and why humanity remains fascinated by dragons today. We also discuss whether dragons could have been physical creatures, spiritual beings, or something in between, and why understanding these ancient stories helps us better understand Scripture and God's ultimate victory over the ancient serpent.

Topics include:

• Dragons throughout world history
• Leviathan and biblical dragons
• Herodotus and Pliny the Elder
• Beowulf and dragon legends
• The Hobbit and Smaug
• The serpent in Eden
• Spiritual warfare and supernatural worldview
• Dragons in mythology and culture
• Satan as the ancient dragon
• Christian implications of dragon imagery

The goal is not fear.

The goal is discernment rooted in Jesus Christ.
