Why is understanding the unseen realm and having a supernatural worldview important to understand the Biblical narrative? Who are the "sons of God," angels, giants, the Nephilim of Genesis 6 and was the serpent in the garden just a snake or something much more?In this episode, Amy is joined once again by Brandon Smith, pastor and host of Black and Blurred Podcast. They dive into the idea of supernaturalism and why understanding that there is more to this natural world, is critical to interpreting the Biblical text. They touch on the important parts of Genesis, like the snake in the garden- why did Eve talk to a snake in the first place - or was there something more that enticed her to communicate and fall for the deception.They also go deeper into Genesis 6, Mt Hermon, the book of Enoch and the story of David and Goliath and how that ties back to the ancient serpent of the garden. This episode is definitely going to blow your mind! If you haven't listened to the Divine Council, be sure to listen to that episode too. *Amy is a Christian counselor - schedule an appointment:⁠https://www.biblicalguidancecounseling.com/appointments⁠*Rumble Bible Studies:https://rumble.com/c/BibleStudywithEyesontheright--------------------------------------------Brandon Smith: branp.smith@gmail.comBrandon is planting a church in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland with the desire of highlighting the beauty of the gospel revealed in scripture and displayed through His church - a chosen race, royal priesthood, and holy nation.

Life - Travel - Word

Text: Mark 9:1-8 ESV 1 And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.” 2 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, 3 and his clothes became radiant, intensely white, as no one on earth could bleach them. 4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 And Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 6 For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7 And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.” 8 And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only. -Mark 9:1-8 ESV THE GLORY OF JESUS Jesus was with Peter, James and John alone. They went up to a high mountain. These three were His core disciples. This mountain is either Mt Hermon or Mt Meron. As Jesus prayed, He was ‘transfigured'. It comes from the Greek root word 'metamorphoo'. It means to change forms. While Jesus prays (Luke 9:29), His body changes from a purely human form to one that more accurately displays His deity and glory. In verse 1, Jesus promises that some of the disciples will see "the kingdom of God after it has come with power" before they die. This, according to many interpreters, is the display of the power of the kingdom of God Jesus promised seen by Peter, James and John. His clothes became as "white as light[Mat 17:2]; in Luke 9:29 says "dazzling white," like a flash of lightning. The original text doesn't say "bleach" but "whiten." Other versions give the more precise word of "launderer" or "fuller." A fuller is someone who uses nitrium to clean woolen cloth. In John's vision in heaven, the twenty-four elders and the tribulation martyrs will also receive white robes (Rev 4:4; 7:13–14). His clothes are a metaphor for the righteousness that characterizes the presence of God. We will never be good enough, just as a launderer can never bleach Jesus' robes white enough so that we must receive Jesus' gift of forgiveness of our sins. Amazingly, the images of Moses and Elijah appeared also. This has an allusion to the OT law since two witnesses were required to prove someone's guilt (Deut 17:6; 19:15). Now, God sends two witnesses to validate Jesus' identity. Both Moses and Elijah represent how Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection fulfill the requirements of Judaism (Mat 5:17). Peter, James, and John are terrified. They do not know how to respond (v.6). They have no reason to think Moses and Elijah are leaving any time soon, so Peter offers to make tents, similar to the booths used in the Feast of Tabernacles. They are to enjoy the precious moment. Do such august visitors need shade from the sun? But, a cloud overshadowed them. It was the ‘Shekinah glory' of God. A voice came from the cloud: "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!" This was a repeat affirmation during Jesus' baptism. When faced with this image of glory and the voice of God, Peter, James, and John fall on their faces in terror until Jesus comes to them, touches them, and says, "Rise, and have no fear" (Mat 17:6–7). Similarly, when we are confronted with the overwhelming glory of Jesus, a reverential fear is felt. ------------------------- Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

In this episode, we are joined by Pastor & Bible Scholar Dr. Douglas Hamp, who takes us on a fascinating journey into the discoveries made on Mt. Hermon. We delve into the connections between Satan/Lucifer in Biblical texts and Enlil, the ancient Mesopotamian god associated with wind, air, earth, and storms. Originating as the prominent deity of the Sumerian pantheon, Enlil's worship extended to the Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians, and Hurrians. Dr. Hamp also reveals his fascinating belief that the rebellious watchers on Mt. Hermon had intentions to hijack their nephilim offspring and use them as bio suits or avatars. He also sheds light on the extraordinary story of Nimrod, who he believes became the son of Satan.

Location: Israel is located in the Middle East, along the eastern coastline of the Mediterranean Sea, bordered by Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt. It lies at the junction of three continents: Europe, Asia, and Africa.   Geography: Long and narrow in shape, the country is about 290 miles (470  km)  in length and 85 miles (135 km) in width at its widest point. Although small in size, Israel have the varied topographical features of an entire continent – ranging from forested highlands to fertile green valleys to mountains and deserts. Approximately half of the country's land area is semi-arid.   Technology: The creative and diverse Israelis have strong determination to push past the boundaries of possibility and facing challenges head-on. It is no wonder that Israel is now the world's leading innovation country with the highest number of startups in the world, earning it the title “Start-Up Nation”.   Religions: This is the center of the world's three great monotheistic faiths: The Promise Land of milk and honey to the Jews, the scene of Christ's Ministry, Crucifixion and Resurrection to the Christians, and to the Muslims, the site of the prophet Mohammad's night ascent to heaven.     Climate: Israel's climate is characterized by much sunshine, with a rainy season from November to April. Total annual precipitation ranges from 20-30 inches (50-70 cm) in the north to about an inch (2.5 cm) in the far south. Regional climatic conditions vary considerably: hot, humid summers and mild, wet winters on the coastal plain; dry, warm summers and moderately cold winters, with rain and occasional light snow, in the hill regions; hot, dry summers and pleasant winters in the Jordan Valley; and semi-arid conditions, with warm to hot days and cool nights, in the south.   Flora and Fauna: The rich variety of Israel's plant and animal life reflects its geographical location as well as its varied topography and climate. Over 500 kinds of birds, some 200 mammal and reptile species, and 2,600 plant types (150 of which are endemic to Israel) are found within its borders. Over 150 nature reserves and 65 national parks, encompassing nearly 400 square miles (almost 1,000 sq. km), have been established throughout the country.     Water: The scarcity of water in the region has generated intense efforts to maximize the use of the available supply and to seek new resources. In the 1960s, Israel's freshwater sources were joined in an integrated grid whose main artery, the National Water Carrier, brings water from the north and center to the semi-arid south. Ongoing projects for utilizing new sources include cloud seeding, recycling of sewage water, and the desalination of seawater.   Population: Israel is a country of immigrants. Its 9.1 million inhabitants comprise a mosaic of people with varied ethnic backgrounds, lifestyles, religions, cultures, and traditions. Today Jews comprise some 76% of the country's population, while the country's non-Jewish citizens, mostly Arabs, number about 24%.   Lifestyle: About 92% of Israel's inhabitants live in some 200 urban centers, some of which are located on ancient historical sites. About 5% are members of unique rural cooperative settlements – the kibbutz and the moshav. Moshav: A unique type of cooperative farmer's village invented in Israel in the early 1900s. The members of the Moshav enjoy relatively large economic autonomy while still benefiting from communal assistance. Kibbutz: A unique form of collective community based on socialist ideology and the promotion of the Zionist idea. Members of a Kibbutz are usually a close-knit group with shared property, labor, and the provision for all the needs of its members.     Main Cities: Jerusalem, Israel's capital (population 900,000), has stood at the center of the Jewish people's national and spiritual life since King David made it the capital of his kingdom some 3000 years Today it is a flourishing, vibrant metropolis, the seat of the government, and Israel's largest city. Tel Aviv-Yafo (population 440,000), which was founded in 1909 as the first Jewish city in modern times, is today the center of the country's industrial, commercial, financial, and cultural life. Haifa (population 280,000), a known coastal town since ancient times, is a major Mediterranean port and the industrial and commercial center of northern Israel. Be'er Sheva (population 207,000), named in the Bible as an encampment of the patriarchs, is today the largest urban center in the It provides administrative, economic, health, education and social services for the entire southern region.   System of Government: Israel is a parliamentary democracy with legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The head of state is the president, whose duties are mostly ceremonial and formal; the office symbolizes the unity and sovereignty of the state. The Knesset, Israel's legislative authority, is a 120-member unicameral parliament which operates in plenary session and through 15 standing committees. Its members are elected every four years in universal nationwide elections. The government (cabinet of ministers) is charged with administering internal and foreign affairs. It is headed by a prime minister and is collectively responsible to the Knesset.     Education and Science: School attendance is mandatory from age five, and free through age Almost all three-years-olds and four-year-olds attend some kind of preschool program. Israel's institutions of higher education include universities, offering a wide range of subjects in science and humanities, and serving as research institutions of worldwide reputed colleges providing academic courses and vocational schools. The country's high level of scientific research and development and the application of R&D compensate for the country's lack of natural resources.   Health: The National Health Insurance Law, in effect from January 1995, provides for a standardized basket of medical services, including hospitalization, for all residents of Israel. All medical services continue to be supplied by the country's four health care organizations. Life expectancy is 82.2 years for women and 78.5 years for men; the infant mortality rate is 4 per 1,000 live births. The ratio of physicians to population and the number of specialists compare favorably with those in most developed countries.   Social Welfare: The social service system is based on legislation which provides for workers' protection and a broad range of national and community services, including care of the elderly, assistance for single parents, programs for children and youth, adoption agencies, as well as prevention and treatment of alcoholism and drug abuse. The National Insurance Institute provides all permanent residents (including non-citizens) with a broad range of benefits, including unemployment insurance, old-age pensions, survivors' benefits,     maternity grants and allowances, child allowances, income support payments and more.   Economy : GDP $354 billion   Exports, goods, and services $60.6 billion Imports, goods, and services $66.8 billion Industry: Israel's industry concentrates on manufacturing products with a high added value that are primarily based on technological innovation. These include medical electronics, agrotechnology, telecommunications, computer hardware and software, solar energy, food processing and, fine chemicals.   Agriculture: Israel's agricultural successes are the result of a long struggle against harsh, adverse conditions and of making maximum use of scarce water and arable land. Today, agriculture represents some 2.5% of GNP and 2.2% of exports. Israel produces 93% of its own food requirements, supplemented by imports of grain, oil seeds, meat, coffee, cocoa, and sugar, which are more than offset by the wide range of agricultural products for export.   Foreign Trade: Trade is conducted with countries on six continents. Some 49% of imports and 33% of exports are with Europe, boosted by Israel's free trade agreement with the EU (concluded in 1975). A similar agreement was signed with the United States (1985), whose trade with Israel accounts for 12.4% of Israel's imports and 38% of its exports.     Culture: With thousands of years of history, the ingathering of the Jews from over 70 countries, a society of multi-ethnic communities living side by side, and an unending flow of international input via satellite and cable – have contributed to the development of an Israeli culture which reflects worldwide elements while striving for an identity of its own. Cultural expression through the arts is as varied as the people themselves, with literature, theater, concerts, radio and television programming, entertainment, museums, and galleries for every interest and taste.   Gender: People in the Middle East often greet each other with a kiss – men to men and women to women, but rarely to the opposite gender unless they are family. Purity is highly valued. While most Americans are accustomed to hugging, this is rare in the Holy Land. Public displays of affection, in general, may be different or even non-existent. In some areas, men and women do not socialize publicly – making prolonged eye contact with someone from the opposite gender is even considered inappropriate.   Languages: The official languages of the country are Hebrew and Arabic, but in the country's streets, many other languages can be heard. Hebrew, the language of the Bible, long restricted to liturgy and literature, was revived a century ago, accompanying the renewal of Jewish life in the Land.   Israeli Cuisine: From European dishes to the Middle Eastern and Mediterranean, Israel's rich diversity is strongly represented by its cuisine as well. A big part of the daily meal includes delicacies such as locally grown fruits and vegetables, olive oil, hummus, tahini, and more.     Due to religious dietary laws such as the Jewish Kosher laws and Muslim Hallal laws, pork is not common in Israel (though it can still be found in more Christian or secular places). Kosher laws also restrict combining meat and dairy products in many restaurants and most hotels. Entertainment: Entertainment in Israel, much like its population, is very diverse, yet still manages to be distinguished as its own entity. From live music and concerts to operas, dances, and sketch comedies, it brings people from different backgrounds together. Theaters perform Hebrew remakes of world-famous plays as well as original content. Cinemas and TV enjoy Hebrew subtitles over Hebrew dubbing (unless for preschoolers). Creative Israelis also brought forth original movies and shows both in Hebrew and Arabic that are loved world-wide today.   Shopping: Shopping is a popular pastime in Israel from luxurious malls to crowded and lively marketplaces in every major city. We recommend visiting the Mahne Yehuda farmers market in Jerusalem for a local authentic shopping experience – welcome to the “Walmart” of Jerusalem! Bethlehem – the city of Jesus' birth – also has many souvenir shops. You can find everything from gold jewelry sets, to oil lamps, to olive-wood statues and other artifacts. Name any biblical character or animal, and there is an impressive olive-wood statue for you! Favorites included Samson pushing the pillars, David slaying Goliath and, of course, Nativity scenes of every shape, size and price—from a few bucks to a few thousand.     Sports: From skiing on Mt Hermon to scuba diving in the Red Sea, Israelis enjoy a variety of sports for hobbies as well as professions. Soccer (called Football / Kadoor Regel) just edges basketball as the most popular sport in Israel, with teams competing nationally as well as internationally. Most notable are Maccabi Haifa and Betar Jerusalem. When it comes to basketball, Maccabi Tel Aviv's very own Omri Caspi became the first Israeli to join the NBA. Israel also prides itself on its Olympic success, and even hosts its own version called the Maccabiah Games for Jews from all over the world every four years – one of only seven worldwide competitions recognized by the International Olympic Committee.   Soldiers: The IDF, founded in 1948, ranks among the most battle-tested armed forces in the world, having had to defend the country in six major wars. The IDF's security objectives are to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the State of Israel, deter all enemies, and curb all forms of terrorism that threaten daily life. Compulsory Service: All eligible men and women are drafted at age Men serve for three years, women for two years. Deferments may be granted to qualified students at institutions of higher education. New immigrants may be deferred or serve for shorter periods of time, depending on their age and personal status on entering the country. Reserve Duty: Upon completion of compulsory service, each soldier is assigned to a reserve unit and may serve up to the age of 51. Career Military Service: Veterans of compulsory service meeting current IDF needs may sign up as career officers or NCOs. The career service constitutes the command and administrative backbone of the IDF. Graduates of officers' or pilots' schools or special military technical schools are required to sign on for periods of career service.

Just because I Enoch isn’t Scripture or written by Enoch doesn’t mean it isn’t a vital window into the first century beliefs about Genesis 6 and the introduction of evil practices into the world. What did Mt Hermon mean to first-century Jews and why did Yeshua/Jesus make sure that the big announcement about His identity happened in Caesarea Philippi, on the southern slope of this infamous mountain?

In this week's study, we cover all of chapter 16 and the first 13 verses of 17. We see Jesus tempted yet again by the Pharisees and we see the magnificent transfiguration of Christ on Mt Hermon. In the midst of these verses though we see the true humanity of the disciples; these guys are normal everyday people and that comes through this week in the highs and lows of Peter.

Will the Rephaim (spirits of dead giants) tribes return in the near future as the Army of Antichrist? Does the Bible warn this is THE EPIC EVENT next up on God's prophetic calendar? Did the prophets provide keys to defeating them?

This is a video recording of the message "A Welcome Declaration" by Pastor Rolly Stahl on 23 Aug 2020. In our 21st Century culture, individualism is perhaps regarded as our most “inalienable right”. We are entitled to our own opinions and the right to express them. We have the right to make our own choices of what is right and true, what we want to believe, or what we regard as the supreme object of our attention or affection. It’s often put: “My truth is what is true for me. You can determine what is true for you.” One day Jesus was in a region up north near Mt Hermon where many gods had been worshipped, sacrifices made, and bizarre things done in the name of those gods. People had done what they thought right in their own eyes – their own truth.   Against this backdrop, Jesus asked his disciples: “What are some ideas out there about who I am?”  There are a variety of responses.  I wonder, what might be some answers we’d get from people today? But then Jesus looks them in the eye, and says: “Well, what about you guys, who do you say that I am?”  I can imagine a few moments of silent reflection.   These fellas have all witnessed Jesus’ amazing deeds, heard his parables, and witnessed his dealings with people across the spectrum of his culture – and even among some Gentile cultures.  They could have come up with lots of responses: You are a miracle worker. You are great teacher. You are a very kind person. You are master over the wind and waters. You are …. By the grace of Father God, Peter has joined some dots from the Old Testament promises and what he has experienced with Jesus: “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”   Jesus does not deny it or pretend otherwise, but affirms Peter and calls him blessed.  At last, one of God’s people in Israel has received God’s truth: and declared it to Jesus before others.     This truth is not just for Peter, but for everyone.  As those who have received this gift of truth, how might God use you and me to help others come to that same conclusion – and also make that declaration?

This recording started a couple minutes into the lesson. We are sorry for any confusion this may cause.

This episode continues the deep dive into the history in Deuteronomy, focusing primarily on the lesser known people and places mentioned in the text of Deuteronomy 3. Listen and let me know what you think.

Living in Florida you don’t get much of a chance to view things from a high place since our topography shares the attributes of a pancake. I can remember times in my life when I have had the opportunity to climb to a high place and get a transcendent view of my surroundings. There’s nothing quite like it, everything takes on an exceptional look; puzzling landmarks suddenly take on a different shape and begin to make sense.In the Gospel of Mark, we are climbing to a high point in the narrative, a plateau from which we can more clearly see the surrounding landscape and mark out the path on which we’re traveling.We’ll be reading Mark 9:1-13, the account of the transfiguration event.It’s likely that this event takes place on Mt Hermon since Caesarea Philippi is located at it’s base and our last section took place there. Jesus only took three of his disciples up the mountain, why do you think that was?What significance do you see in Jesus’ appearance changing? Read Exodus 24:15-16 as well as Exodus 34:29. What implication, if any, do you find in the similarities of Moses’ experience and the transfiguration of Jesus? How do you think Jewish people, familiar with Moses’ story, would have understood this?Why do you think Moses and Elijah were present in this event? What do you find significant in the words spoken by the Father from the cloud?Right after this amazing phenomena, Jesus once again forecasts his death, which really confuses Pete, Jimmy and Jack. Obviously, Jesus is wanting them, and us to know the pathway to glory. How do you understand that for your own journey of following Jesus?I think this is a really intriguing section of text to explore – hope to see you Sunday!Click here for a pdf version of the PowerPoint slides for this teaching.

In this song of degrees, David remarks how pleasant and good it is for brothers to dwell together in unity.  So holy and precious, it's like the sacred anointing oil for the high priest and as fruitful as the dew from Mt Hermon to Mt Zion.

We come today to the pivotal passage in the book of Matthew. In some ways it is the climax of Matthews Gospel. I say that not because it is the climax of Jesus ministry, that obviously would be the cross and empty tomb, but it is the climax of Matthews message. From here like water running downhill this Gospel will run quickly to the last week of Jesus public ministry and a cross. The Setting: Caesarea Philippi – is a gentile and pagan city north east of the Sea of Galilee. It is located on the extreme northern fringe of Israel. From this area spring the headwaters of the Jordan River and the landscape is dominated by Mt Hermon the highest peak in the region of Syria. This mountain was the sight of worship for many gods and is the probable location for Jesus transfiguration. It is to this place far removed from the crowds of Galilee and the religious turmoil of Jerusalem that Jesus comes to pray according to Luke and to ask the most important question ever asked of man. He starts by asking a leading question:

Using the gospel of Mark as our guide, we #Jesus; and literally go where Jesus went.

Using the gospel of Mark as our guide, we #Jesus; and literally go where Jesus went.

Using the gospel of Mark as our guide, we #Jesus; and literally go where Jesus went.

Using the gospel of Mark as our guide, we #Jesus; and literally go where Jesus went.

Rev. Darin Stone shares God's Word from Psalm 133 as we continue our series from the Psalms of Ascent. In this Psalm David explains how pleasing unity is. Church is like family and sometimes the family is dysfunctional. Unity is good and can bring us peace and joy. The world can know we are Christians by our love for each other and our unity. Aaron messed up in the book of Exodus yet God ordained him as high priest. In the same way while we are all idolaters, we are ordained as a priesthood of believers. We need forgiveness from God and we need to extend it to others. Just as Mt Hermon is larger than Mt Zion, those in the body who are more mature need to support those who struggle. Unity means we need to serve and be served. You need the church and the church needs you. God makes unity happen as Jesus binds us together.

We were introduced to Tom Horn through his fascinating book, Nephilim Stargates. The possibility of “stargate portals”—pathways to another dimension, seemed bizarre at the time, but perhaps the book of Enoch is accurate. Enoch claims that fallen angels left their home in heaven and traveled to another dimension—Planet Earth, landing on Mt Hermon and creating the genetic nightmare of Genesis 6. Tom has done it again with co-author Cris Putnam, penning a new book, The Immortals, and revealing the strange secrets of the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Tom and Cris suggest that perhaps there is a plan underway to open up a new portal to another dimension—a parallel universe. Are there intelligent beings waiting on the other side? Or a nightmare for humanity?

Where the River Begins

Identity is an issue for people. Some people can't seem to figure out who they are. Some can't seem to move on to an adult version of themselves. Jesus had no problem with His identity. Others may have struggled with who He was, but this was not an issue for Him. Today is no different.

Last weekend, our High School ministry spent a few incredible days in the Santa Cruz Mtns at Mt. Hermon.  It was a great time to get away and spend time hearing from God.  In this message delivered in 2 parts, Matt teaches on “Hearing God.” You can listen to this message HERE
