The Bible’s Greatest Mysteries

Satan and his demonic minions take every opportunity to deceive us. So how can we tell when a near-death experience (NDE) is real?

Shaun Tabatt, author of The NDE Conspiracy, shares his nine-point list of criteria for determining when an NDE is real and not just an illusion or a vivid dream. He also tells us the difference between an NDE and a shared death experience, how false memories of past lives can draw people into bad theology, and why he calls NDEs “love letters from God.”

THE SUBJECT of NDEs (Near-Death Experiences) is controversial for Christians who—at least in the West—have been conditioned to avoid talking about the paranormal.

Shaun Tabatt has been researching NDEs for years and his new book, The NDE Conspiracy, confronts the topic from a biblical worldview. He explains how the field of NDE research, which was founded by medical doctors, is now dominated by New Agers, psychics, and mediums, how educated people like the creator of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, can be drawn into false beliefs by grief and personal trauma, and how Shaun’s research into NDEs helped his late wife, Lynette, prepare for her transition to the afterlife.

Sodom appears to have been the center of an ancient cult that venerated the dead.

Dr. Steven Collins, author of Discovering the City of Sodom, explains that there were an estimated 1,500 dolmens, megalithic monuments to the dead, at the base of Tall el-Hammam, the site of Sodom. This is the tightest cluster of dolmens in the Levant, which is home to the densest concentration of dolmens on Earth.

He also shared that his team was the first to excavate dolmens that had escaped “night diggers,” the archaeologists’ term for tomb raiders and treasure hunters who follow professional digs to hunt for artifacts to sell on the black market. According to Dr. Collins, one of the dolmens they excavated appears to have been in uninterrupted use for the cult of the dead from about 4000 BC down to the time of Sodom’s destruction in the Middle Bronze Age, a period of about 2,300 years!

Sodom has been found.

The evidence is compelling: The location, evidence, and timing of the ruined city found by Dr. Steven Collins some 25 years ago all fit the biblical clues for the identification of the city.

In an interview recorded at the International Symposium on Archaeology and the Bible in August of 2022, Dr. Collins, author of Discovering the City of Sodom, explained how political unrest in Israel compelled him to look for a new project and why he turned to a hill in Jordan that had been overlooked by archaeologists for more than a century.

GOD CONDEMNED high places because that’s where pagans in the ancient world contacted their gods. But when mountains weren’t nearby, humans built artificial ones.

Micah Van Huss, author of ‘Ancient Cities and the Gods Who Built Them,’ shows us the parallels between stories of the Greek gods and the Bible, and where the fallen elohim may have taught our distant ancestors things we weren’t supposed to know—like writing!

THERE IS more truth in our myths than we’d like to admit.

Mysterious cities of antiquity, including Babylon, Babel, and even Atlantis, contain some truth drawn from the Bible. Micah Van Huss, host of Marginal Mysteries (MarginalMysteries.com) and author of Ancient Cities and the Gods Who Built Them, shares some intriguing stories drawn from Greek, Jewish, and Babylonian myth to show how they draw from events recorded in the Bible.

Micah Van Huss is one of the featured speakers along with the Gilberts, Carl Gallups, Pastor Mike Hoggard, and Mack Dominick June 13 and 14, 2025 in Carmel (Indianapolis), Indiana. Information and registration at MarginalMysteries.com.

WHAT DID the Watchers look like? Is it possible they resembled the animal-human hybrids depicted on some of the inscriptions at Göbekli Tepe?

Archaeologists Dr. Aaron Judkins and Dr. Judd Burton, authors of the new book Decoding Göbekli Tepe, share their exciting new discovery that connects iconography at “the world’s oldest temple” and the Bronze Age culture of the Luwian people of Anatolia (modern Türkiye)—across a gap of at least 6,000 years!

IT’S BEEN CALLED the world’s oldest temple. But who—or what—was worshipped there?

Archaeologists Dr. Aaron Judkins and Dr. Judd Burton, authors of the new book Decoding Göbekli Tepe, join us to discuss the mysterious site in southern Türkiye, why a Stone Age culture was inspired to build it, and why Christians should care.

YOU HAVE to wonder what the rebellious “sons of God” in Genesis 6 were thinking.

Rick Renner (renner.org), author of Fallen Angels, Giants, Monsters, and the World Before the Flood, explains that these spirit beings—not the righteous sons of Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve—decided to corrupt humanity, it was a deliberate attempt to fill the earth with their monstrous progeny.

Rick explains that this transgression—which is a word that means an action that’s even worse than a sin—was premeditated disobedience, since they’d been tasked by the Lord with shepherding humanity in its post-Edenic, fallen state. Instead, they and their children tried to eliminate the human race.

Dr. Renner also shares with us additional evidence that the Durupinar site on Mount Judi in southeastern Türkiye is the resting place of Noah’s ark: Giant drogue stones, that were used in the ancient world to stabilize seagoing ships, have been found in the valley below the location of the ark. Needless to say, southeast Türkiye is a very long way from the sea—at least, it is today.

ON THE lower slopes of Mount Judi in eastern Türkiye, there is growing consensus that the remains of Noah’s ark have been found.

Rick Renner (renner.org), author of Fallen Angels, Giants, Monsters, and the World Before the Flood, joins us to explain why the Durupinar site, close to the border with Iran and about 18 miles south of the summit of Greater Mount Ararat, is where the remains of Noah’s ark now rests.

And what’s more, Rick tells us that an ancient altar near the site of the ark is almost certainly where Noah offered a sacrifice of thanks to the Lord when the ark finally settled on dry land.
