The Gates of Hell, Apollyon, the Nephilim & the Hidden War Behind History |
Derek P. Gilbert In this episode of Codega’s Codex of Curiosities, we’re joined by author and researcher Derek P. Gilbert to explore his latest book, The Gates of Hell, a chilling investigation into an ancient enemy Jesus directly confronted at the very beginning of His ministry.
Derek breaks down how key locations in the Gospels—Jesus’ baptism, the Transfiguration, and His declaration at the “gates of Hades”—were not symbolic coincidences, but strategic acts in an ongoing supernatural war.
We dive deep into the identity of Apollyon, also known as the Destroyer, a being Derek argues may be more dangerous than Satan himself. According to biblical prophecy, this entity rises from the bottomless pit at the end of the age—and its return may already be encoded in modern symbols, including art and architecture within the United States Capitol.
The conversation also explores the Nephilim, the Rephaim, and their connection to Mount Hermon, ancient rebellion and the lingering influence of fallen powers throughout history. Derek explains how these beings are more than myth—they are central to understanding biblical cosmology, end-times prophecy, and modern conflict in the Holy Land.
This episode challenges conventional theology, confronts uncomfortable interpretations of Scripture, and asks one disturbing question:
What if the war Jesus declared never ended… and we’re living in its final phase?
