Podcasts about lipkin tours

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT is in a legal standoff with the state of Texas over control of the border with Mexico. After Texas refused to comply with a Supreme Court ruling to allow Border Patrol agents to a park in Eagle Pass, the White House announced a freeze on the sale of liquefied natural gas, which amounts to economic sanctions on Texas—but it also threatens the energy security of our NATO allies in Europe, which have replaced some of the natural gas it imported from Russia with LNG from the US. Also: Yemen effectively blockades Suez Canal (except to Russian and Chinese shipping); Türkiye drops opposition to Sweden in NATO (and gets new F-16s); US federal debt growing faster than GDP; and the influence of Inanna and Molech.

ONE OF THE ISSUES discussed by the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week is preparing for “Disease X.” It's important to remember that Disease X doesn't exist. It's a hypothetical pathogen that may someday pose a threat to humanity. It's also important to note that the WEF, the World Health Organization, UNESCO, and other globalist organizations want us to know that they need to control what information you can access because mis-, dis-, and malinformation can literally kill you. Sharon shares her observations on the 2018 Clade X tabletop exercise held at Johns Hopkins and whether any lessons were actually learned by the US government, and we discuss a report on research in China with a pangolin coronavirus that reportedly killed 100% of the humanized mice in the study. Apparently, that's not unusual for that type of experiment, but it does raise concerns about ongoing gain-of-function research. We also discuss the tangled situation in the wider Middle East as Iran and nuclear-armed Pakistan traded airstrikes this week, the Houthi government of Yemen declared it's shutting down the Red Sea to shipping, and a report that Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu aren't talking to one another after a tense phone call in December.

A SIGNIFICANT PORTION of liberal America apparently feels the only way to “save our democracy” is by disenfranchising tens of millions of voters. There are movements to keep Donald Trump off the ballot in some 30 states, and congressional Democrats want to disqualify more than 125 Republican colleagues from running for reelection by claiming that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution bars anyone from holding office if they engaged in insurrection—which they define as doing what prominent Democrats like Hillary Clinton did after the 2016 election.

THE WAR between Israel and Hamas began three months ago today. Is this the start of the conflict prophesied in Psalm 83, the Gog-Magog war of Ezekiel 38–39, or something else? ALI SIADATAN (ThinkAgainProductions.com), producer and director of the documentary UFOs Angels & Gods, joins us to share his unique perspective on the geopolitical (and theopolitical) situation in the Middle East. What does Iran hope to gain through its proxy militias in Yemen, Lebanon, and Gaza? Why now? And how will a rising movement inside Iran to throw off what some consider a religion led by an invading “Arab god”—Islam—affect the outcome of this war?

NEW YEAR'S DAY brought unexpected excitement to Miami: Dozens of police cruisers responded to a call of teens fighting and setting off fireworks at a mall. The incident has gone viral as a video on social media claims to show a 7-to-10 foot tall “alien” skulking near the police cars. As with anything spectacular that draws public attention, like the publication of a certain list this week (which contained nothing we didn't already know), we look at the other hand to see what we're not supposed to notice. It could be the situation at the US-Mexico border, where Customs and Border Protection processed—meaning “released into the country, probably with cash, a phone, and a notice to appear for an asylum hearing in three years”—more than 300,000 illegal migrants during the month of December, a new record. There are now more illegals entering the United States than new babies born to US citizens. The distraction may also be to draw our attention away from the global economy, which is about to take a hit from Yemen effectively cutting off access to the Suez Canal. Operation Prosperity Guardian, the American mission to protect cargo ships in the Red Sea, has failed, and about 10–12% of global trade is now being routed around the southern tip of Africa, adding cost and two to three weeks to shipping time. We also discuss a growing movement in Iran to reject Islam as “an Arab religion.” This is a nationalist movement that wants to bring back Zoroastrianism, the worship of Ahura Mazda, but it is also opening the door to the gospel.

ARE WE GUILTY of “majoring in the minors” by talking about the weird parts of the Bible? Studying topics like giants, gods, and dragons in the Bible is important. But does focusing on these subjects detracts from the message of love, grace, and salvation in Jesus Christ? Brian Godawa (www.Godawa.com), best-selling author of the new novel 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, join us to discuss the significance of geographic locations and religious context in biblical events. Jesus himself waged war with demons, principalities and powers who rebelled against their Creator. We need a comprehensive theology that includes historical, cultural, and biblical knowledge. Without it, we cannot recognize or understand the devices of the enemy. As our good friend the late Dr. Michael Heiser used to say, “If it's in the Bible and it's weird, it's probably important.” Subscribe and share our YouTube channel at www.YouTube.com/GilbertHouse!

IT'S DEFINITELY one of the strangest stories of 2023: Villagers in a remote region of the Amazon rainforest in Peru have been defending themselves against attackers called pelecaras, which translates into English as “face-peelers.” Timothy Alberino (TimothyAlberino.com), who lived in that region for a time as a younger man, returned recently to investigate the accounts of seven-foot-tall levitating “aliens,” and he tells us what he found.

DAVID PREPARED the way for his son, Solomon, to take the throne and build the Temple. As we'll see in the months ahead, our best laid plans don't guarantee a smooth, trouble-free life. This week, we read through the divisions of priests, the organization of the military, and David's farewell address to Israel. It may surprise some, like us, who thought that Solomon designed the Temple. The reading today makes it clear that it was David, guided by God, who was the architect.

PROPAGANDA BEGAN in the Garden of Eden. It's no surprise that humans have adopted this tactic for spreading the doctrines of demons. Independent journalists Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and others report that whistleblowers have shared documents showing that as far back as 2017, defense and intelligence veterans along with data scientists began working on programs to counter mis-, dis-, and malinformation online that “appear to have been absorbed into multiple official projects, including those of the Department of Homeland Security.” This forms what Shellenberg and Taibbi have dubbed the Censorship-Industrial Complex. This “anti-disinformation” group, called the Cyber Threat Information League, is behind a quasi-governmental effort to get around First Amendment protections of free speech, targeting and eliminating not just wrong facts, but “disfavored narratives.” According to one whistleblower, this included a directive from the outgoing Obama administration in 2017 to “stop a ‘repeat of 2016'”—the election of Donald Trump. Follow the work of Michael Shellenberger at at public.subtack.com, and Matt Taibbi at www.racket.news.

DAVID EXPERIENCED more during his life than a Hollywood action movie character. It's remarkable that despite his accomplishments, David recognized that his success was entirely due to God.

IF SOMETHING seems too good to be true, it is. That's as true now in the Internet Age as it's ever been. A shopping site called Temu has become one of the most popular apps on Android and iOS devices over the past year, with more than 100 million downloads as of this recording. It's understandable; the prices Temu offers on items from clothing to tech are crazy cheap. So cheap, in fact, that a company called Grizzly Research estimates that Temu loses an average of $30 on every sale. How can Temu stay in business? Because, as Grizzly Research argues in this report, Temu's actual business is selling your data collected by an app Grizzly calls “cleverly hidden spyware that poses an urgent security threat to U.S. national interests.” That may sound like hysteria, but as Grizzly Research documents, the Temu app “has hidden functions that allow for extensive data exfiltration unbeknown to users, potentially giving bad actors full access to almost all data on customers' mobile devices.”Not to put too fine a point on it, but that includes location data, images, addresses, birthdays, links to social media accounts, and, potentially, private financial information. The fact that Temu is a Chinese-owned company also raises the possibility that that data it collects could wind up in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party. To put this in perspective, according to Grizzly Research, the Temu app is far more dangerous than TikTok. Here's a brief summary of the Grizzly Research report from Dataconomy.com. Also: Ceasefire between Israel and Hamas ends; researchers intrigued by resonance of “Devil's Church” cave in Finland; scientists create tiny “biobots” from human cells; tech startup Prophetic creates headband to induce lucid dreams; and deer-eating “superpigs” invade North Dakota from Canada.——————NEW DATES FOR OUR 2024 TOUR OF ISRAEL!

A DAY is coming when Jerusalem becomes “a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples.” This is a prophecy of the Day of the Lord, or the Day of Yahweh, which culminates at Armageddon. Zechariah saw the coming of Messiah, and the key verse in our view is Zechariah 12:10: “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn.” In other words, on that day, when Jerusalem is the scene of the final battle of the age, those fighting for Jerusalem will realize that “him whom they have pierced” is the One they were waiting for. The war between Israel and Hamas enters its third week. Aaron Lipkin, CEO of Lipkin Tours, has purchased equipment for the IDF troops defending his community in Samaria (what the world calls the West Bank). If you would like to contribute, go to https://bit.ly/lipkintours. Choose option #21 (donation). The Hal Lindsey book Derek mentioned is The Road to Holocaust, Lindsey's response to Dominionists and Reconstructionists who believe that the church has replaced Israel and the Jews in end times prophecy. We agree with Hal that Replacement Theology is the basis for anti-semitism, and the Israel-Hamas war is bringing it to the surface in many Christian congregations.

A DAY is coming when Jerusalem becomes “a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples.” This is a prophecy of the Day of the Lord, or the Day of Yahweh, which culminates at Armageddon. Zechariah saw the coming of Messiah, and the key verse in our view is Zechariah 12:10: “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn.” In other words, on that day, when Jerusalem is the scene of the final battle of the age, those fighting for Jerusalem will realize that “him whom they have pierced” is the One they were waiting for. The war between Israel and Hamas enters its third week.

DAVID KNEW that God had a divine council comprised of supernatural beings. We see more confirmation of that in this week's study. Psalm 89 mentions the “holy ones” (Hebrew qedoshim) and “heavenly beings” (bene elim, literally “sons of God”) who are in his assembly. The psalmist goes on to praise God for His power in mastering the sea (Ps. 89:9–10). In Hebrew, that's yam, the Canaanite name for the chaos-dragon of the sea—their version of Leviathan. Given the reference to Rahab in verse 10, this is more than just picturesque language describing God as more powerful than the ocean; the psalmist is referring to the chaoskampf, the conflict between God and Chaos (Leviathan). We also discuss the references to “the north and the south… Tabor and Hermon” in Psalm 89:12. The mountains mentioned were sites of cult worship in the ancient world, so we think the compass points north (tsaphon) and south (yamin) have spiritual significance as well. Zaphon was the mountain of Baal in what is today southern Turkey. “South” may be a scribal gloss (change) at some point in history, because the Septuagint translation renders verse 12: You created the north and the west [or, “the north wind and seas”]…Psalm 82:12a (Lexham English Septuagint) The point being that west, the direction of the Great Sea, the Mediterranean, was the direction associated with death. Thus, “the north and the [west]”, in a pairing with two cult centers (especially since one of them is Mount Hermon, a sort of Canaanite Mount Olympus), is a polemic against spiritual evil (north, the direction of Baal's palace) and death (west). In Psalm 96 we find another song of praise for God, comparing Him and His power against that of “all gods” (Hebrew elohim) which are “worthless idols” (ĕlîlim; Ps. 96:5). We've encountered that word before, which some scholars connect to the chief god of Mesopotamia, Enlil, whose name was spelled Ellil in Akkadian. The ĕlîlim, then, were demons—the spirits of the Nephilim destroyed in the Flood. The Septuagint translators certainly connect the ideas, translating the verse this way: For all the gods of the peoples are demons…Psalm 96:5a (LES), emphasis added For a deeper dive into the ĕlîlim and Enlil, see our previous study on 1 Chronicles 16 here. And you can read the chapter of The Second Coming of Saturn where Derek cites the research into “Isaiah's ‘Worthless Idols'” here.

THERE IS MORE spiritual warfare in the psalms than we realize! This week, we study three of David's psalms that have more going on under the hood than is obvious at first read. Psalm 24 praises God for founding the earth “upon the seas and… the rivers.” In Canaanite religion, Baal became king of the gods after a battle with Yam (“Sea”), the embodiment of chaos (i.e., Leviathan), who is often called “Prince Yam [Sea] and Judge Nahar [River]” in Canaanite religious texts. So, David's psalm is more than poetic language; it's a rebuke of the pagan belief that Baal was the one who subdued primordial chaos. Psalm 47 is a song of triumph, encouraging all people to rejoice that God is King of all the earth, but Psalm 68 is, in our view, a prophecy of a future battle between God and the forces of darkness at a place known in the ancient world as the entrance to the netherworld, Bashan. It begins with the declaration that “God shall arise, His enemies shall be scattered; and all those who hate him shall flee before Him!” Verses 4 through 10 use storm-god language to praise God, again rebuking the pagans around ancient Israel for ascribing to Baal the characteristics of Yahweh. And then we get to Psalm 68:15–23, a prophecy of a future conflict at the “mountain of Bashan,” Mount Hermon. The text of Ps. 68:15 is translated, “O mountain of God,” but the Hebrew, har elohim, can also mean “mountain of the gods.” That's the better translation in this context. Why? Because the mountain of God is Zion—the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Verse 16 makes clear that Mount Hermon, the “many-peaked mountain” of Bashan, looks “with hatred” at “the mount that God desired for His abode” (Zion). Verse 18, which Paul quotes in Ephesians 4:8, describes a military assault by God on Mount Hermon, after which He “ascended on high, leading a host of captives in your train”. David praises God for delivering His followers from death. The Hebrew word maveth is a cognate for the name of the Canaanite death-god, Mot, who is the equivalent of the Greek deity Thanatos—the rider on the pale horse in Revelation 6. Finally, verse 22 describes God's victory over chaos: The Lord said,“I will bring them back from Bashan,I will bring them back from the depths of the sea…”However, scholar Nicolas Wyatt argues that this difficult passage is better translated: From Bashan I shall bring back,I shall bring back, from the depths, Sea [i.e., Yam, the Canaanite equivalent of Leviathan, or Chaos]In other words, David prophesied God's final assault on Mount Hermon and the land of Bashan, which in his day was believed to be the literal entrance to the netherworld (Sheol/Hades), where the Lord will finally destroy Death and Chaos. In so doing, David presents a prophecy similar to the one recorded a thousand years later by John in Revelation 20:13–14 and 21:1: And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire… Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and he first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

THE PSALMS OF DAVID are often prophetic. We know this. But we often overlook just how supernatural they are. This week, we focus on two of the most profound and stunning psalms in the Bible. Psalm 22 begins with a line quoted by Jesus on the cross: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” It's widely acknowledged by Bible scholars that the 22nd Psalm is a prophecy of the Crucifixion written more than 600 years before the Persians invented that horrific method of execution. However, verses 12 and 13 are usually misinterpreted. They read: Many bulls encompass me;strong bulls of Bashan surround me;they open wide their mouths at me,like a ravening and roaring lion. (Psalm 22:12–13, ESV) Bible commentaries usually explain these verses as a reference to the well-fed livestock of ancient Bashan. That's not what the passage means. Bashan was a terrible place to raise cattle, which would have starved on the poor pastureland available on that rocky, volcanic soil. Goats and sheep thrived in Bashan, but the ancient kingdom of Og was not then, and is not now, a place that would support a thriving cattle operation. The point is that the “bulls of Bashan” were not bovine, they were divine (We're borrowing a phrase from Dr. Robert D. Miller II, whose paper “Baals of Bashan” is the source of this information). These were dark spirits from the land known from the time of Abraham down to Jesus' day as the entrance to the netherworld—an evil place with a name, Bashan, that literally means “place of the serpent.” Then we move to the 23rd Psalm, one that many of us have memorized. We suggest that the valley of the shadow of death is a literal place—the Huleh Valley, which separates Bashan from the Upper Galilee. The valley is ringed with more than 5,000 dolmens, megalithic monuments to the dead that resemble giant stone tables (which is what dolmen means in the Brittonic language). We base this analysis on the gospel of Matthew, where he writes: Now when [Jesus] heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee. And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—the people dwelling in darknesshave seen a great light,and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death,on them a light has dawned.” (Matthew 4:12–16, ESV) Matthew quoted from Isaiah 9:1–2, the beginning of the messianic prophecy that includes the lines, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given”. The Way of the Sea is the Roman road, the Via Maris, that ran from Egypt through Judea, north through Galilee alongside the west shore of the Sea of Galilee, north through the Huleh Valley, and then “beyond the Jordan” (i.e., east) toward Damascus. In other words, Jesus' move from Nazareth to Capernaum, on the north end of the Sea of Galilee, fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy of a light dawning on those living “in the region and shadow of death”. This makes this verse all the more powerful: You prepare a table before mein the presence of my enemiesyou anoint me head with oil;my cup overflows. (Psalm 23:5, ESV) In the context of the pagan rituals for the dead, especially in the region of ancient Bashan, this verse is a celebration of Christ's victory over the fallen spirits who have rebelled against their Creator—and who want to take us to destruction with them.

READING THE HEADLINES each day can cause anxiety, depression, and frustration at the plots and schemes of those who apparently feel qualified, if not entitled, to tell the rest of us how we should live. When the news is getting to you, remember these words: He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. Then He will speak to them in His wrath, and terrify them in His fury, saying, “As for Me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” (Psalm 2:3–4, ESV) We discuss David's song of thanksgiving and note a reference that's packed with supernatural meaning: The “worthless idols” of 1 Chr. 16:26 (Hebrew ĕlîlim) may well refer to the spirits loyal to Enlil (also known as El, Dagon, and Molech), who we believe was the Watcher chief Shemihazah, leader of the Genesis 6 rebellion.

High-tech science played a key role in deciphering the text on a small lead amulet found on Mount Ebal in Israel, the site of Joshua's altar. Archaeologist Dr. Scott Stripling, provost of The Bible Seminary in Katy, Texas, and Aaron Lipkin, CEO of Lipkin Tours, an Israeli tour company based in Samaria (the West Bank), discuss the process by which the “curse amulet” was found and decoded, and the monumental significance of this discovery. Turkey is a land that's full of historic and prophetic significance—the churches of Revelation, Abraham's home city, and the oldest religious community on Earth, Göbekli Tepe. Join us on this adventure! Our tour runs October 18-November 3, 2022. Find out more at www.SkyWatchinTurkey.com. Join us in Israel!

Join us for Part 2 of our conversation with Aaron Lipkin, noted expert in Joshua's Altar, about the small lead tablet, recently found there and how it is changing everything the academic world thought they knew about the Bible. The Teacher and the Preacher is a weekly radio program--hosted by Dave McGarrah, Senior Pastor at Deer Flat Church in Caldwell, Idaho, and Harold Berman of Efrat, Israel--that airs each Sunday at 10:30 am and 7:30 pm here on 94.1 The Voice KBXL and also on Sunday evenings at 5 pm on our sister station 790 KSPD. They are a unique phenomenon on the airwaves – a Christian and a Jew in an ongoing dialogue – celebrating the many commonalities but never shying away from the differences. They offer their listeners insights into each other's faiths that don't come up much elsewhere, that can only come through sincere conversation. The weekly discussion is more than a program about a topic; it's a demonstration of how God can bring two people together from 9,000 miles away to bridge the differences, learn from each other, and strengthen their own faiths. If you would like to learn more about this fantastic radio ministry, please visit their website at theteacherandthepreacher.com.

HISTORY IS more important to us than we realize. In these interviews recorded at the Rocky Mountain International Prophecy Conference, we talk with two men who use the events of the past to guide and instruct others about the future. Aaron Lipkin, CEO of Lipkin Tours, discusses his DVD The Footsteps of God: Finding Gilgal and the work of archaeologist Adam Zertal, who passed away in 2015, in documenting the presence of Israelites in the Holy Land just as it's recorded in the Bible. His father, Avi Lipkin, discusses the history of conflict between Islamic sects, the origins of the reborn nation of Israel, and why those details are so important to the geopolitical situation in the Middle East.
