David Lee Corbo
We are being hypnotized by people like this. News readers, politicians, teachers, lecturers. We are in a country and in a world that is being run by unbelievably sick people. The chasm between what we're told is going on and what is really going on is absolutely enormous.
Top Lobster
Oh yeah, dude, there's some Nephilim.
Unknown
It's like we all know what's going down but no one's saying what happened to the home of the brave they control this now when no one's talking about how they made us finally slaves and everybody's just walking around heading the closet Won't awaken to a dead in the grave finally too late we need to be ready to raise up welcome to the end of day Everybody is slave Only some are aware that the.

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to another episode of Nephilim Death Squad. I am David Lee Corbo, AKA the Raven, that is Top Lobster, the father of disinformation. Before we get into today's guest, I would just like to remind all of our live viewers that this is not a 30 minute preview. However, if you are looking for a way to support us, please consider going over to patreon.com backslash nephilim death squad. You will get access to ad free episodes, live episodes as they air. You can engage with the live chat. You could also gain early access to the episodes as well as Bohemian Grove tickets when they drop. They're going to be dropping real soon. Right now we're kind of looking tentatively at this coming Monday, although subject to change. You know, things are kind of hard.
Top Lobster
I'm thinking Monday, I have everything set up Friday kind of snuck up on me. We've been very busy, but I'm thinking Monday we're gonna drop it. So get in there because there's going to be a limited amount of VIP tickets and we have a lot of cool goodies for the VIP especially. I'm gonna be working on something where after the shows we will possibly have a restaurant that I don't know if we'll have it all to ourselves, but mostly for creators and the 30 or so of you guys, the VIP. So we'll all like hang out, have like almost like a private dinner or.
Unknown
Whatever it is trying to. Right now I'm working with Top. I'm trying to get you guys to do the cloaks. I would love the cloaks because the idea to me of funneling into a restaurant or a bar right after the show with 30 people in cloaks and having. Having a VIP dinner is the greatest thing I've ever heard.
Top Lobster
Yeah, let's bring it. Let's bring in the guests because we have an hour today, so I don't want to waste.
Unknown
That's right. That's right, guys, one more time. Patreon.com backslash Nephilim Death Squad Joining us today for the continuation of the Book of Genesis series. Fridays are for the Lords and we are Jor. I'm sorry, not the Lords, one, singular. My mistake. Guys. We are joined once again by Ed. Maybe before we get into the discussion, let's talk about where they can find your work.
Ed
Sure, guys. Thanks for having me on again. So my main legacy site is faithbyreason.net that's where you can find, like, all of my materials and blogs, podcasts, videos that I've been doing for a decade now. And as I've said, the last. Oh, really read it now because by, probably by the end of the summer, a lot of it is going to be going behind paywalls because I'm doing some books and I'm going to be using a lot of this content for those books. So if you're a Patreon, which we'll talk about in a second, you'll still have access to everything. But yeah, less and less stuff's going to be free now because it's just a lot of information and I'm. I'm starting to try to monetize some of it and really get it out there in different ways. So where I'm steering a lot of people and most people now, everyone, if, if you'd like to, and I would like you to do that, is going to my Patreon. So that's on patreon.com faithby Reason that's where I am the most active, where I'm putting up posts pretty regularly. April's been a really, really busy month, so I'm kind of backlogged. I got a few more things I need to get out. I just dropped the Genesis, the next part of the Genesis series a couple days ago. I've got a Q A that's coming out today. Someone asked me a question about the passing of Pope Francis and the prophecy of the Popes. So I did something on that. That'll be out later today. And so I'll be content. Was kind of lagging the last couple weeks. I'll be making up for it. But if you're at the early tier, the first tier, you get bonus episodes. You get episodes before they are released anyplace else. And you also get to be a part of the Q&As. You ask a question, I will a video where I answer it. And if you want to level up to the blue level, then you get all of those great things. But you're also, you also be a part of the monthly Bible study that we do. And the next one is this coming Sunday. So. And I'm on a camping trip with my, my son this weekend and like, I'll be up at the crack of dawn on Sunday hightailing it back to my office so I can be, so I can do the, the latest Bible study. But we go through the Bible from the supernatural point of view, looking at it from the spiritual angle and because that's really what it's all about. God is spirit and you know, the Elohim, the other angels are spirit. And what's going on behind the scenes is really 80% of, of the Bible. And if you don't understand the spiritual aspect, you're going to miss out on a lot. So yeah, come aboard, be a part of it. And oh, and we have books too. I have the book on the false apocalypse that's available on Patreon and on Amazon. I need to get it on Gumroad and Apple. I just been behind schedule and next month, about this time next month, my book on the little season will be out as well, just in time for me to be on some podcasts where people are really anxious to, to quiz me about it.
Unknown
Yeah, go ahead.
Top Lobster
Patrons, huh? Look at that. Yeah, what a deal.
Ed
Yeah, yeah, your patrons. All the books will be free for my blue level patrons, some depending on how big the book is, it'll, it'll, it'll be free or discounted to the level one to tier one patrons.
Top Lobster
Nice. I was going to mention Ed, maybe for your Faith by Reason page, put a link to your Patreon because I know when I'm here, when I, whenever I look you up to bring up your things, I'm like, I wish I could just click on a link to go to Patreon from here. So I'm sure other people are thinking about that too.
Ed
Thanks for letting me. I've got so much to catch up on since I've been out of town like three times this month just traveling all over the place. But yeah, there's a lot of things I need. I got a lot of catching up to do, a lot of updates to make. I mean, the book is even available on my, on my faithbyreason.net site yet because I just haven't had time. But I'm gonna, gonna wrap all that up. And also working on this book. I mean this is an endeavor. I mean this, the False Apocalypse is a shorter book, the Little Season, when I want it to be very, very thorough. So it's, it's actually going to be printed, it become out digitally first and I'm going to do a printed version. So it's going to be a, you know, a bookshelf book, not just digital ed.
Top Lobster
Before, before the show I was talking about the idea of apostolic secession. And the reason I was looking into that as, I don't know something that's important is because it could be, I thought at least that it could be a good proving point against the Little season because if you have an apostolic secession record that dates through these dates that say that, you know, the people who believe the Little Season say didn't exist, it kind of shoots it in the foot. But it seemed like you had some contention with it. Could you explain it to us a little bit?
Ed
I don't have contention with the actual history of the Popes and I do believe that is one of the many, many things you can throw onto the fire that burns down Little Season theory. So but what I, what the problem is that they claim that there is an unbroken line of secession from the Apostle Peter to the current Pope who just passed away. So there is a record of all the, plus 266 of them. They're, they're and, and they are recorded. So that is, you know, and there's, there's evidence that they all existed. So we have been around for 2,000 years because, but that apostolic session is only accurate from about the time of Constantine in the 4th century to today. The problem is that the, the Catholic Church claims that there, that it started with Peter, that he was the first Pope and then he laid hands on someone else, they became the next Pope all the way up. Then Constantine was the, the first emperor slash pope and then all the way up to, to Francis who just passed away. The problem is there's no accurate historical record of this secession of popes before Constantine, before the 4th century. So there's about you know, 3, 400, 350ish years that there's no record of it. There were two documents that were purport proof. The one is, one is called the Donation of Constantine and the other one is called the Isidorian Decreedles. Those are the only two pieces of information that trace all the popes from Peter to the modern Pope. The problem is both of those documents have been proven to be fraudulent and the Catholic Church themselves admit that those documents are fraudulent. You can, you can look them up on Wikipedia. Donation of Constantine Isidorean Decreels so they acknowledge that they have no document that, that documents Peter all the way up to the popes, all the way up to the current Pope. They do have records of the Pope again, from Constantine all the way up. So what do they say in. To refute this or to address it? Well, we still have our oral history, we still have our tradition, so. But they have nothing in writing.
Unknown
Right. And so then there's just simply no way to prove it definitively. I, I like the idea of it. We were introduced to it just the other day on the show and I thought, what a cool thing for, for continuity. You know what I mean? To be able to trace that seemed really remarkable. But it sounds like Ed. It doesn't entirely dismiss it, but it's. The problem is there's no way to confirm it. If there's simply no writing, you can't.
Ed
Confirm it to Peter. Again, the records from Constantine all the way up to Francis are pretty accurate.
Top Lobster
We were, we were getting it.
Ed
Yeah, go ahead.
Top Lobster
From an Eastern Orthodox.
Ed
Okay.
Top Lobster
Christian, Christian person. So I don't know if there's a different type of apostolic succession because I think they're. Their founding father was a different, A different disciple. I'm not, I'm not sure I'm not as familiar with this. So it's just something I got to look into a lot more.
Ed
Yeah, I'm not as familiar with Eastern Orthodox or Russian Orthodox or some of the other churches that were basically an offshoot of, of the, of the Vatican of the Roman Church. You know, when Rome split in half, you know, the Eastern Empire and the Western Empire and the Orthodox churches kind of went. Are from the Eastern part of the empire. So I'm not as familiar with them. So I don't know if go back to Peter, I would assume they would, but maybe they don't. So my point is not that they have not kept records of their popes. I think they have. But the problem is Peter was never a pope, and that's really what their authority is based on that Jesus the head of the church, which actually didn't they misinterpret Matthew? I think it's 17 Matthew, chapter 17. I believe it's verse 18 where he says, upon this rock I will build my church and say, well, you know, he means Peter is going to be the, the leader of The Church. He never said that. That's not what he meant. He meant all he was talking about, talking about Peter's statement of faith. And we know Peter wasn't a Pope. He wasn't the leader of the Church, because we see in the Book of Acts that James, the half brother of Jesus, was the leader of the church, and Peter deferred to him. So how could Peter be the Pope if he's deferring to someone else as the leader? And he obeyed him. And Peter referred to himself in his own epistles. He said, I'm one of your fellow elders. He basically said, I'm no better than you. I'm just, you know, I, I witnessed Jesus, but, you know, I'm just. I'm one of you guys. So there's no evidence that he ever ruled from Rome or, Or that he ever had any of the pomp and circumstance of the Pope. There just isn't. And they had to. So they had fabricated with these, those two documents, but they were fraudulent because they didn't match history. So are we.
Unknown
Have they chosen a new pope? Has that happened yet?
Ed
Not yet. They.
Unknown
How long does that process typically take? Because I, I.
Ed
Hey, how long does it take to bribe somebody?
Unknown
Right?
Top Lobster
I don't know. They had a. Rabbi Schmuley's out there campaigning for a new Pope, so I guess we'll wait.
Ed
Good one.
Top Lobster
See what he says, you know?
Unknown
Yeah. Instead of the big fish hat, he could have a, like, a big dildo hat.
Top Lobster
This Pope. Yeah, this Pope pushes a lot of dildos. So, like. Well, we're gonna go with this guy.
Unknown
It's like, this pushes a lot of dildos. There we go, baby.
Ed
Maybe it's a traditional name, but Schmooly just seems like the dumbest name in the world. Just sounds like a dude.
Unknown
Everything about him seems like a cartoon character. I. I almost feel like they made him in a lab just to be this kind of, like, punching bag, you know, because it doesn't even make sense how he looks. Horrifying. He's.
Ed
He's.
Unknown
He sells dildos. Everything about it is, Is obtuse and, and easily made fun of. I'm like, this can't be real. I'm very skeptical of Rabbi Schmuley. Not of his corruption, but of his genuine appearance, you know, or the way he presents.
Ed
Well, from what they. What I've read, apparently their goal is to have a new pope in place by the end. By the middle or end of May of next month. So that's the plan. And, you know, it's, it's just based on, you know, who has the right financing.
Unknown
Yeah, I saw whispers vote for you. I saw whispers of like a progressive potential Pope in the wings, like somebody who's a good candidate, who has all these like progressive ideologies.
Ed
Pretty progressive.
Unknown
Right, right. And that was the expression they used. I think it was like Francis 2.0 or something. So they were saying if this guy gets in there, it's a continuation of the same values. So, you know, interesting to see it's a weird time.
Ed
And just to wrap it up because I, and I talk about this on the Q A that's coming out today for my patrons. There's this thing called the prophecy of the Popes by, by a Archbishop Maliki who predicted that there, that the 266th pope would be the last Pope. And during his time is when the end times would happen. Well, Francis was 266. He was supposed to be the last Pope. So. Well, if there's another Pope, then that prophecy is wrong. But there are people trying to say, well, that, well, you know, Francis wasn't legitimate. He was just, he was a stop gap because no one expected Benedict to retire. So they just plugged him in there. So the next Pope is the last Pope, like okay, maybe, but it just sounds like people are moving the goal posters.
Unknown
Yeah, it sounds like some Harold Camping kind of shit. You know what I mean, where you're date setting and. Yeah, I, I'm aware of that. And I tweeted recently, I said, you know, now we're going to definitively know whether or not that prophecy is fake or gay. Because I, I just don't think that it, it just doesn't seem, it seems like every year we have another prophecy that's like kind of an offshoot. It's not exactly biblical, but it's in some sort of like pseudo biblical text and you know, it applies to the time that we're in and then, and then it kind to the wayside. So I, I like it. Something about the last Pope. It sounds cool. It sounds like a book, right? It sounds like the last President.
Ed
There was a book that came out when Benedict was, was Pope and it was, it was called Petros Romanus. And I mentioned it on, on my Q A because I bought it because I was really interested. It said Petros Romanus, you know, the final Pope is coming. Because it was basically was saying that the next Pope after Benedict's going to be the final Pope, like the false prophet or, you know, he's going to be we're going to be in the end time. So I'm like, cool, I want to see this. And when Francis came aboard. Okay, let's see if this is him. But again, he's. He's dead. And if we have.
Unknown
I thought it was.
Ed
Unless God comes back, Jesus comes back before the new Pope is elected, then. Well, he wasn't the last Pope.
Unknown
What was the previous one? Benedict. And you found out that he was like, like a Nazi youth. Yeah, he was kind of like, his.
Ed
Real name was Ratzinger. You know, they always change their names. Like.
Unknown
Yeah, yeah. And he.
Ed
Bergorlio or something. And this guy was somebody. Ratzinger.
Unknown
Yeah. And he looked like the emperor, like Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars. Like, he looked like an actual dark arts wizard. He looked like he drank children. And I was, I for. So I was, damn, dude. This has to be. There's got to be prophecy about, you know, a Pope that looks like Emperor Palpatine. But, you know, here we are, two popes later.
Ed
There are a ton of memes out there about him. Like in Star wars with, you know, the whole he's a scary looking dude and all that kind of stuff.
Unknown
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, all right, let's get into the discussion that we plan to set out to, to talk about today. Where do you want to begin that, Ed?
Ed
Sure. So do a couple things here. I'm gonna do a brief overview of the six days of creation. I'm not going to do a deep dive into it because I, I just dropped the, the, the kind of the bigger episode for, for patrons. So I don't want to, you know, devalue that. And it'll be on the free feeds in a couple weeks, but it's for, for patrons first. And then I'm going to go over a few questions that I've been getting about the, about this part of Genesis. And, and there are things that I'm not, I'm not going to do an extra episode on, so I figure I can cover them here. So, so where we left off was, you know, you know, God created the universe. He created the heavens and the earth, the spiritual and the physical realm. And then there wasn't an in the earth. Heaven and earth existed. And for some period of time, it was just all an angelic civilization. We talked about the different levels of angels, the different types, and they had a society. But then there was a rebellion and we talked about that before. And that basically devastated the physical world. And God, you know, judged Leviathan, who was the chaos dragon, and he and so. And he was standing over. He was hovering over the waters, kind of brooding, like, what am I going to do next? And last time we kind of talked about what the creation. We did an overview of the creation narrative and why God was doing things where he does them. That is actually a poem that he's. So he's. And how he's speaking the world into existence and how that matches physics on a quantum level. So, so, so briefly, you know, God's decided that he's going to make a new form of flesh. He's going to replenish the earth, which was devastated. And so the first thing he does is he says, you know, let there be light. Which means that light wasn't in the universe before that, in the physical universe anyway, so. So as a part of the judgment, God must have withdrawn his light. And we see that other places in the Bible where a judgment, God takes his light away. And it's not just that you can't see it. It's some kind. Something physical is happening because people are in pain. You see that in the, in. In Exodus through one of the plagues is a plague of darkness, and people feel it. And when we get to Revelation, we talked about this during the series with the Bowls of Wrath. One of them is there. One of the Bowls of Wrath. I think it's the fifth bull of Wrath where darkness is poured. Maybe the sixth. The darkness is poured out and people are in pain. And it, it's. And so I think God withdrawing his light means more than just, you know, not King. No illumination. It means there's something happening.
Top Lobster
King Saul. I've been reading the. Rereading the Book of David after watching the. The show again. It's like when he loses the blessing and goes mad. Would that be considered. I guess that that would also feel like a. A removal of God's like. Although I don't think that's.
Ed
Removal of God's presence. And you know, there's. I think that God is involved in all of our, like, all of our cells. There was a doctor, a Christian doctor, who was an obgyn. He was talking about. You're looking at when a. You know, when a cells. When, when the baby is. When you have a zygote, you know, the sperm and egg coming together and it starts splitting. He says there's not enough information to make a complex human being. That's. So there's outside information has to be coming into the mother's womb from someplace else.
Unknown
That's interesting. So, so it's. It's More than the, the, the sum total of its parts. Yeah, right. It's essentially is what's happening there. It's like it's not enough. Where is this extra data coming from? That's, that's. Wow, that's interesting. That's fascinating.
Ed
Yeah, well, because DNA is really data. I mean DNA is a four by three digital code. That's, it's information. So there's more information coming in there. So the, the, the chromosomes that, that make up the zygote are not enough to bring forth a human being.
Unknown
And so there's fascinating.
Ed
So. And then there's the, the. I forgot the, the actual Bible, the actual verse. But I think it's in Colossians actually. It is in Colossians where, where Paul writes that Jesus is holding the world together. He keeps. So he is physically keeping everything from flying apart. And that's actually true on a quantum level because what is an atom has a proton at the, at the nucleus and electrons circling it. Well that's a positive and negative charge. They should collapse into each other. You have a, you know, when positive and negative magnets size, they will come into each other. So what's keeping that electron going around the atom? Science don't really have a clear explanation except maybe it's Jesus keeping everything.
Unknown
Do they have any sort of conventional, you know, science, sciences sort of explanation?
Ed
Well, what they call it is the, the weak nuclear, the strong and weak nuclear force. You can look those up and basically the, the, the, the strong nuclear force is what keeps the protons. Because an atom has several protons, you know, up to depending on the element. And they should be flying apart because they're all positively charged. So they should be repelling each other but they stay together. So that's, they called this a strong nuclear force. They can't explain it, but they just named it that whatever is keeping the, the, all the protons in an atom at the nucleus together. It's called the strong nuclear force. And, and what's keeping the electron from collapsing into the nucleus is called the weak nuclear force.
Unknown
But that's not a, that's.
Ed
That's a name that is so much energy when you split it. That's where nuclear, that's, that's how nuclear bomb does, is devastation. There's so much energy involved in these strong and weak nuclear forces that when you split it apart, the energy that's released is, you know, devastating. You have a nuclear bomb.
Unknown
That's fascinating. I wonder if they, if they elaborate on that at all because it sounds like One of those situations where sometimes science or, you know, one of our establishments will come along and they'll label a thing. If they label it, it gives this air of confidence, like, we know what this is. We've given it a name. And, but it's, you know, oftentimes it's not, it's just like, it's the illusion of understanding is, is what they do when they name a thing.
Ed
Sometimes when you get to the quantum level, scientists admit we don't know how this thing works. I mean, there's, there's a scientist. I, I, I think I have it in my evolution series on faith by reason. His name, when he went. Got down to quantum physics, he actually, it drove him mad. He literally, he killed himself because he could not figure out how things work on a quantum level. It's that weird. Like the idea, you know, like Schrodinger's cat. The idea that, you know, things only exist if someone's observing them. And if they're observing them, you can't say it even exists. They can't explain that.
Unknown
We had somebody on the show recently that talked about, like, this supernatural phenomenon, as he calls it, the phenomenon. And he says that the phenomena. Phenomenon manifests differently for different people. It might manifest as an alien for now. It might manifest as this or that. And he does believe that it's biblical, but he thinks that it changes the way that it presents itself to us, dependent upon how we're programmed, I suppose. But that was like an example of the effects of, of observation by a human being on a thing determines the form that it takes. And when I hear that Schrodinger's cat, the, the act of looking in the box determines whether or not the cat's been blown to bits or is, is alive.
Ed
Right?
Unknown
I go, no, no, I don't, I don't think so. I don't know why. I just, my brain hit, I hit that wall and I go, that sounds so smart that it's dumb. I don't believe that that's true. That I don't know. Maybe it is.
Ed
You're in the same boat as a scientist. They can't explain. It's like, you know, the cat is neither alive nor dead until you look. It's the observer effect. But the explanation for it is God has to be observing everything in order for us to, in order for everything to still be functioning on the physical realm. You know, there's the idea that every proton in the universe knows what every other proton is doing, which, again, doesn't make sense from A purely secular standpoint. But it all. But it would explain how God can be omnipresent, how he can be interacting with me in California, interacting with you guys on the east coast and whatever, because he's. He's omnipresent.
Unknown
By the way, isn't it the same thing as, like, if. If a tree falls in the woods and nobody around is around to hear it, does it make a sound? And it's like, you can't really execute that thought experiment because there will always be something around to hear it. You know, whether or not it's human consciousness is. Is, you know, a different story. But. And it's like, instinctively I want to go, yeah, yeah, I think you'll still make a sound.
Ed
If no one hears it, I don't think, you know, it's gonna. Sounds right, but that's like a vibration. It's gonna make a sound.
Unknown
Yeah, it's like a rudimentary version of Schrodinger's Cat. And I tried to read that. I had a book. I don't know who it was by, I don't know, but it was. It was called Schrodinger's Cat. And it was all about this quantum physics. And I. I hated it. I hated it. I'm reading it and I go, I swear, you can just make up whatever the hell you want and say whatever you want, and you can turn it into this and. And people will. You know, what's that?
Top Lobster
Were you reading the Talbot or. What was the name of the book?
Unknown
No, no, no, no. I don't know what it was. It was just Schrodinger's. Schrodinger's Cat was the. And it had, like, all the symbols on the front of it. Right. It had the checkerboard floor and a bunch of other, like, crazy symbols. But, yeah, I hear that. And I go, I. I feel like quantum physics is such a poorly understood field, but it's one that's espoused regularly to give this science class an air of legitimacy that I. It's like. But they don't even understand it, but, you know, they understand it better than us, I guess. And that makes them.
Ed
Like I said, I think I believe that the. When you get down to the quantum level, the Bible is the only explanation. It actually makes sense. We talked about that with words. I mean, at the quantum level, it's just. It's vibrations. Quarks made of vibrations. The universe is orderly. Ordered vibrations or ordered sounds are called words. And the Bible says that God spoke it into existence. So. So I Guess we can just keep on with that. So he says let light. So he brought light back into the universe. But then that's the first day and he said that was good. Then the second day, all he does is separate waters. He brings in the firmament. And I have a video that's going to drop, hopefully the inviting them next week, which is going to be a bonus episode for patrons only that's called Mysteries of Creation. I'm going to talk a lot more about the firmament because that's. The firmament is nuts. I mean I try to, trying to understand that it's really, really some really weird stuff. So I have my speculations about it. So that's why it's on a bonus episode because I can't necessarily support it through the Bible. But you know, I have my, my ideas about it and how it relates to the, the. Whether the Earth is a, a planet or a plane. So. But he separates waters from that are above the Earth from the waters that are on the Earth or beneath the Earth. So that means that if you have to separate them out, that means the whole universe was covered in these waters that work for waters is the word Mayim, which means, means fluid or means chaos. So what it sounds like the entire universe was covered in this Mayim. And I don't think that all of the Mayim was necessarily H2O water. And I, I'm not going to go into that here. I'll go into it in my, in my next video, but separate that out. Go ahead.
Top Lobster
Look into the idea of psi plasma. I think that's what he was calling it. Andreasia Puharich. Basically we exist in this. It's some sort of a plasma. But that's how like ideas, if you come up with an idea, somebody across the world might even get struck with this idea because like we're in this not fluid but something. You know what I mean?

Yeah, well, that's, they're, they're figuring out all kinds of things like, like plasma is almost a state of fluid. It's, it's somewhere between solid and liquid.
Ed
And well, it's, it's actually, it's. It's the fourth level of, of matter. You know, you have solid, liquid, gas, and then plasma's a level. And I talk about that in the episode that's going to come out next week. Not, not with the actual worth that you use. Top. I, I do talk about plasma a bit but you know, I'm looking more into what you just what you were just talking about and, and see Exactly. So. But there's something that's not necessarily liquid water the way we see it, because we're going to see that God is actually going to create the seas next. And he creates the seas out of the Mayim. So there's something. So there are two different kinds of mime. There's myim above and myim on the Earth. And I think the Miami on the earth is, are the seeds like salt water, but the mime above is something else. And again, I talk about that.
Unknown
And this is where they talk about the firmament separating the waters below from the waters above.
Ed
Right? Yeah. And so is it. But. And that, and that's all he does that day. And he doesn't pronounce it good. Every other day he says this is good. He doesn't say that the second day was good, which is, which was probably a Monday. So he just proved that everybody hates Mondays. But in actuality, the reason he doesn't pronounce it good is because good means to create. That's the biblical definition of good. Good is to create in the long term. Definition of evil is to destroy in the long term. So God didn't call the second day good because he didn't create anything. He just separated, you know, the mime from above from above, from the mind below and to create this expanse which is part of the definition of the firmament. So then on, you know, then. Then the next day is when he takes the watch. So apparently the. The earth is covered in this mime and he's. He separates it out. And so dry land appears. And God calls that good, which means he created something. And I believe what's happening here is that he took that Miami, that and turned it into salt water for the seas. And they're still pretty chaotic and fairly useless. I mean, salt water, you can't do anything with it. I mean, if you drink it, you'll, you'll die of dehydration. You can't water plants with it, but, you know, animals do live in it. But yeah, it's, it's. It's still considered. The seas are always considered a place of chaos and, and evil, which is interesting because when we get to the New Jerusalem, which we talked about at the end of the Revelation episode episodes, there's no more sea. There's no more salt water seas anymore. So I think that though the, the oceans have a negative connotation.
Unknown
Interesting. It's why they're also used as a prison.
Ed
Yeah, yeah. There's something about them. If you go, if you get Deep into the ocean. There's some weird stuff happening in like the bottom, the parts of the ocean. There's.
Unknown
Yeah, there's all kinds of talks about portals and have you seen that there's a, a lake at the bottom of the ocean? It's, it's somehow beyond my pay grade. I can't explain it, but the water at the bottom of the ocean looks like there's a lake on the floor of the ocean and it is very hard to penetrate that. The, the surface tension of that water is such that you can walk on it. It's very weird. I don't know what the hell to make of it.
Ed
Yeah, yeah, actually I mentioned that in, in that bonus episode next week. The same thing. Yeah, it's just weird under there there's some, you know, there's stuff we're not supposed to be under there.
Unknown
Yeah, yeah.
Ed
And, and so, and so he calls that, so he calls it. Good. And then he, then, then he has vegetation appear so on the dry land, you know, he has the, all the, the herb, fruit bearing herbs and everything is producing after its own kind, which again is a reputation of evolution which says that, you know, all species change and God says no, everything produces after its own kind. So you're not going to have a cherry tree start blossoming strawberries. You know, without intelligence. Yes, you can, you know the counter to that as well. You know, you can make hybrid plan. A human being can do that with intelligence, but naturally it doesn't happen naturally. Everything produces after its own kind. That's how it works. And then he makes, you know, the sun, moon and stars and he, and he says specifically that they are for, you know, for times and seasons and, and yeah, signs, times and seasons. So that's how we can tell, you know, the, whether you believe the earth goes around the sun or the sun goes around the earth. You. In, in either case, 365 days. And we have the, the month with the moon for, for the lunar months, which are, you know, 30 days, give or take. And it's, it got, put them there for that. So he created the sun on the fourth day. So the question is, well, what. How was there light before that? Well, apparently it was just, it was just a blanket light before that. And he formed the sun to be a specific source of light afterwards. So I, so I just, you know, because people have that question like how could, how could that be? How could you have plant life on, on one day without, on day three without the sun? Well, because, you know, God was light and it Was, I mean it was a day. I, I still believe these are 24 hour days. And because you know, even though there was no sun to, for to rotate around, I mean God was keeping the time and he's. And it's, there's evidence elsewhere in the Bible like in Exodus and in Deuteronomy where these are 24 hour days of creation. What's interesting that I, I mentioned in the video that's out today for on Patreon is that the term evening and morning, God always ends in saying evening and morning were the first day, evening and morning with the second day. So what does that mean? The term evening and morning in Hebrew are Arab and Bokar. Those, they do mean, you know, sunrise and sunset. But they also are designating going from chaos to order. You know, it's just evening and morning. Our days start in the morning. You know, the day starts at sunrise and it ends in the evening. Well, you know, the Jewish day starts at sunset and you know, basically in, in honor of evening and morning. And why is that considered going from chaos to order? Well, as it gets darker at night, it gets more chaotic, especially back in those times when you couldn't see anything and predatory animals are out. But then as you get towards, as the day starts to dawn, you get more order. You can now see things, you're safer. So each one of these days is going from a state of total chaos at the very beginning to a more and more orderly state which kind of culminates in day six where you know, God institutes all the, everything completely in order. So basically, you know, plants are considered less orderly than, you know, than fish because God creates them. On, on the fifth day, God creates sea life and they're considered more chaotic because they're in the ocean and the ocean is a chaotic place. And then on this, then on the six today, that's when he creates land, animals and finally humanity. And by humanity, I want to say again, I'm, I'm going to talk about the idea of pre Adamic civilizations on the bonus episode. But I've mentioned here before that believing that there's a pre Adamic civilization is really showing that you're not reading this as the poem that it is. And because Genesis 1 and 2 are not two different separate creations. Genesis chapter 1 is a poem, it's an overview, it's a song about creation. And then as Hebrew poetry does, there's always a narrative in an exposition that either precedes it or comes after it. In this case, it comes after it. Where Genesis chapter two really talks about the specifics. So Genesis chapter one song. I made birds, I made fish, I made land animals, I made humanity. Okay, now here's a specifically how I did it. I formed Adam from the dust of the earth, so forth and so on. And, and I know some people disagree with it, even some folks I, I admire, like, you know, Gary Wayne, who's, I'm a fan of his, but he believes in pre Adamic civilizations. But because people believe in it because they think it solves certain problems, like, you know, where to came get his wife, for example, and you know, other things like that. But it actually causes more problems than it solves. Because if there's a pre Adamic civilization, I mean, the question you have to ask is were they created sinless? And if they weren't sinless, then the Bible says that Adam sin through Adam sin came into the world. So it would be completely unjust for God to say, okay, Adam sinned. So now you guys all have to, all the rest of you guys have to die too. And also it says in, in chapter two, which we're gonna, which is gonna be the next major episode, says that God breathed into Adam the spirit. The, the breath or the ruach of life. He gave. He gave Adam spirit. And if he, if there's a, another set of humans who don't have a spirit, then what are they? And then you get into a lot of racial stuff when some people will say, well, you know, Adam and Eve were my race because you know, every racist believe that they, that they're part of the, the superior race because just by coincidence, and so all the other races aren't, aren't on our level because they don't have the spirit of God. Again, it causes pre Adamic civilization causes way more problems than it solves. And I don't. There's no biblical reason to believe it. If you understand how Hebrew poetry works.
Unknown
That, that concept though of were they sinless? Like that's a good, that's, that's a really good question that I, I can see kind of quickly tears that apart.
Ed
Yeah, I mean, because it's a contradiction. If they, if they committed a sin, then the Bible is wrong when it says that through Adam sin came into the world.
Unknown
And if they were sinless, then Adam also screwed them over. You know what I mean?
Ed
Yeah. So basically, let's say you're one of the other humans. You're just skipping around, hey, I'm in my immortal body. I'm living forever. What the hell? Just. Yeah, I'm dying. Why Am I dying?
Top Lobster
What if they're like, they're sinless? Means to miss the mark. So that means that you're aiming at God. But if these things. What if there were things that were creations of something else? Because I, I think that the earth is kind of filled today with the spirits of something else and even possibly like these physical embodiments of something else.
Ed
I think it was a Nephilim. Yeah, I think those are all those dead spirits. Because again, we'll get to this when we get to chapter six. But if you, it's reasonable to believe that there were possibly over a billion Nephilim. Yeah, if you just do some, some math with, with procreation.
Unknown
We were talking to Brian of Demon Erasers. I forgot what book he cited, but there was something in it that suggested that the, the variety in Nephilim was like, incredibly vast. Like, you know, I don't, I, I don't know if it said this, but I remember it giving me the feeling of like no two looked alike or something like that. And, you know, I don't know if that's true because you do get that kind of descriptive of, of pale with red hair. But it just strikes me as, as likely given the, the many faces of the cherubim and things that we've discussed.
Ed
Here on this show. Look at, we talked about this in the, in the episode we did on angels and, and the episode I have on my Patreon, that there were many different classes of angels that look different. You know, you have the seraphim, which were reptilian. Reptilian. You had, you know, ones look like cows. You had some that look like birds and what. So their children probably, if, if there was, if they were all, if a subset of all of them rebelled in that, in the 200 that we, that we see in the Book of Enoch. Well, they could look like all kinds of different things.
Unknown
And then what happens when they start anger angle or inter mingling, rather. So you have, let's say one begets bull features and the other one gets eagle features. And then what, what in the heck happens when. And then you get some sort of griffin, right, where it's some sort of like half.
Ed
Seriously? I mean.
Unknown
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Ed
I think that's what's happening. And also, if in the Book of Enoch it talks about how not only did they breed these, you know, these breed the Nephilim, they also started experimenting on other life. It said they, they sinned with, against animals, against the fish, and making all these weird chimeras. I'm, I'm almost sure that's where mosquitoes came from because they don't serve any other purpose. I think we're where we're part of that. Yeah. Because, I mean, I said, God, why would you make fleas? They serve no purpose other than to like, you know, harass us. That sounds like something a fallen angel would do. But, but they were doing all these experiments, making all these kind of, for lack of a better term, chimeras according to the book of Enoch. And you know, the Bible isn't explicit about how the different Nephilim might have looked, but through the book of Enoch and through other ancient sources, you know, we get a lot of ideas. You know, the, all the Greek demigods, you know, the, the Minotaur, which was like a man, a part man, part bull. Yeah, all, you know, all these different creatures. I would not be surprised, surprised if some of them were actually accurate descriptions of, of Nephilim.
Unknown
I think Homer's Odyssey probably was. Like, there's something that, that it's really drawing from where there's a lot more to, you know, a lot more reality to that, that situation of the Cyclops and Minotaur and all these different things. I was just watching Achilles or. No, I'm sorry, Troy. Yeah, yesterday. And you know, Odysseus is in there and, and, and you know, it just, it seems like they just took it as a, as a fact of, of the matter that Achilles was, was a demigod.
Ed
Right.
Unknown
That wasn't really, like, nobody really had any problems with that, it seems.
Ed
Yeah, every ancient civilization has these, these stories, these legends about the quote unquote gods coming down or having intercourse with women and producing these demigods. And so I, that's not, you know, that doesn't definitively prove it, but I think it really shows that there's some, that it should be taken seriously instead of just dismissed as always. Just people making stuff up because they were primitive.
Unknown
Yeah, until somebody sees a dog man outside. Then they got a bunch of questions. They go, what the hell is going on here? I didn't think that was supposed to be real.
Ed
Yeah, so that's kind of the big overview. Again, there'll be, if you, if you're on the free feeds, you'll be able to see the whole. I think it's like 45 minute episode where I, you know, go into a detail about it. But I wanted to in like the last, Next Last like 15 minutes or so that we have just a few questions. That I've gotten from people about this period that I'm probably not going to address in a separate Q A. So I think we can do them here. So the first one is like, what does it mean that God rested on the seventh day? I am going to explain that in the next video, in the next non bonus video. But you know, I'll just briefly mention it here. When God, when he says God arrested, you know, we have to remember this wasn't written in English. You know, we have, we can't put our English vernacular on it because resting, oh, I'm tired. I just need, I need a moment. You know, God was fine. He just spoke these things into existence. He wasn't tired the way we are. What that word rested means is that he ceased his activity. And the activity he ceased was activity of initiating his will. He no longer after Genesis, chapter two, verse the first couple verses, God for the rest of the Bible, God never initiates his will. He gives a power, that ability over to man. All God does after that is respond. God says, I've. So the first two chapters of Genesis is, are the only time in the Bible where God unilaterally says, I'm going to do this just because I want to. The rest of the Bible, he reacts to what we do and to what the angels do. So that's what that means. So it explains a lot when people say, well, why doesn't God do this, that and the other. He, he said he's not going to do anything anymore. It's, it's on us. And he said he will respond to us just through justice. But he's not going to initiate. He's not going to stop evil before it happens because he will be violating his own precept. When he said, I'm, I'm not doing it. It's up to you guys. So basically everything that's wrong in the world, it's because of you guys. You can't blame me. I made a beautiful world. And I said I'm done. It's on you. So anything bad that happens after this, that's you guys. So you can't blame me for it.
Unknown
So.
Ed
And again, I'll detail more of that in, in that episode. So the other question I get here if is it's a good one actually. If God knew angels and men were going to sin, why did he make them? If God knows everything and he knows, and the, the short answer is that God wanted to create something different than himself. He, he wanted to have unique entities he could interact with. He Didn't. He didn't just want it to be himself. And God is always a completely right and just. So anything that's not him won't be always a completely right and just meaning that it. There's going to. They're going to be unjust and unrighteous. So he knew that, but he made them because he wanted to interact with them, which, which again, that's the whole point of creation period. And. But what he did was he, he built in two air, two I, two concepts that he hoped would mitigate that. One was he made the angels knowing a lot, they are at a much higher dimension than we are. So they had all the knowledge. They knew what, what they were doing, what if it was right or wrong. They weren't making mistakes. So I was basically saying, I'm going to make you guys, you know, at a high level. You're going to know everything and you'll know and make a mistake. So hopefully you won't do it. But of course we know that they did. And with humanity, when he went after the angel sinned and he said, well, I need to make something that's capable of repenting because if they're going to sin, there has to be some kind of remedy. Otherwise I'm gonna have to do the same thing I did before and wipe them all out. And that's, that's not something I want. And that's, by the way, that's why God made night and day in the replenishment that we just talked about. Because angels, there was no night before that. So why do we need night? Night is when we repair physically and mentally. You know, if you don't sleep, you know, for a week, you'll die. We need that sleep. We need to repair. So God needed to make a form of life that could repair. Repairing physically obviously means, you know, when you, when you sleep, your body repairs. But also mentally, when you're sleeping and dreaming, your brain is repairing. You know, there are certain cells called gilgyle cells that when you're Dr. Your dreams are basically your body, your, your mind cleaning up things that might challenge you. Otherwise, it's, you're, you're resolving things. And if you have a recurring dream, it means that there's something that you haven't dealt with yet. And it's your, your brain bringing it to the forefront, saying, hey, you need to deal with this. So I keep bringing it back to you every night. You need to heal from this or, or address it, resolve it in some way. So angels can't heal. They can't repair. Human beings can. And our ability to repair, to repent, to turn away from what we're doing wrong and, and go forward, is the only way we can ever be in the presence of God. And that's, you know, that's what forgiveness and salvation are all about.
Top Lobster
Can an angel die?
Ed
Well, what is death? Death is the. So if life is the ability to repair, so that means that death would be the inability to repair. So can an angel die? Yes, if they can no longer repair. In fact, that's what, that's what hell is. Hell is eternal death. You will not be able to repair in hell.
Unknown
I think in Enoch, they, God said that they'll, they'll. I could be misquoting here, but like, they'll, they'll die like men. Oh, I'm sorry, I thought that was Enoch.
Ed
No problem, because I, I, yeah, I'm very really familiar with that 1. Psalms 82. He tells them that you will die like you're, you're Elohim, son of the Most High, but you will die like men. So that's, I believe that that is pointing to the Book of Revelation in chapter six with the sixth seal, when the angels are fallen. Angels are cast down to Earth and they are, and they are forced into material bodies and they are all going to die at Armageddon or sooner. So they will die like men. And they will, yeah, so they're, they will suffer a physical death and then in hell is eternal death, because you can't repair in hell, so they can die. In that sense, they won't cease to exist.
Top Lobster
Right?
Ed
They will, but they will, will not be able to repair.
Unknown
I, I hate drawing this correlation because I'm, I'm not a fan of the, the idea of simulation theory because I feel like it's, it's, it's a couple of steps backwards from the richness of the Bible in the way that it describes, you know, what we're going through. But it isn't lost on me that you could make an argument that says he creates and programs angels. They don't have written within their code, let's say the ability to repair or repent. So he has to create a new program that has that ability within it.
Ed
Yeah, more or less. He was saying, you guys will have, you guys will know everything, so hopefully you will not use. You, hopefully you will not intentionally sin. But they did. And actually that's going to get to the next question, but it's always said, well, that didn't work. So now I'm going to have to create something that has the ability to repair. Because fallen angels. Because that. Because the other question you get all the time, why can't angels say they're sorry and repent? Because it wasn't a mistake. They intentionally knew what they were doing. They had their reasons for it. Spirit. But that actually dovetails perfectly into the. The next question, which is about the angels who sinned with spawning the Nephilim. Because in the Book of Enoch, they knew what they were doing before they were. Before they did it. No, they made a pact with each other and say, you know this. We're about to F up big time, so let's all bind ourselves. So again, they. It wasn't like, let's try this out. No, they knew. So why would they do that, knowing that it was going to get them kicked out? They were essentially taking advantage of God's nature. God's nature is always completely right and just. So if God makes a rule, he can't violate it. It would be unjust, the rule God made. Well, remember before the creation of man, the angels had authority over the spiritual realm and the physical realm. So they were. They were. Had authority on the heavens and the earth. They lost that and God gave the authority over the earth to humanity. Yes, yes, In Genesis, chapter two. Well, they want that back. So what is this? So what are. What are humans? Humans are spiritual physical hybrids. We are spirits in these physical bodies. So God's law says that an entity that is part physical and part spiritual can rule the earth. They say, hey, we know a way around that. If we make our own spiritual physical hybrids, they could legally have authority over the Earth if they wipe out humanity. God would have to honor that, and he would have. The Nephilim technically could have. Could have legal authority over the Earth because God said that these hybrids can do it. His hybrids were us. You know, the spiritual, physical hybrids. But they said, we're going to make our own. We're going to make them bigger and stronger. We'll make them giants. And they almost won.
Unknown
Shout out to more than story time. Thanks, man.
Ed
So. So that was. That's why they did it. Because they knew that if they, if they're. If they wipe out humanity, which way they were on the verge of doing before the flood, then they. Then they could have gotten authority back over the Earth and God would have had to honor it because God set forth. That's that rule. And that's why the Nephilim had to be wiped out completely. Because God knew if these, if these guys keep propagating I'm not going to have any other choice but to have them be over the earth, because that's. I made that rule.
Unknown
That's why I keep seeing people, you know, they kind of talk about this whole demiurge thing and, and, you know, Yahweh being the, the demiurge. But those people, they're speaking to that narrative that says, like, the Old Testament, God was so brutal that he had to be an entirely different God. But since I didn't learn that way and I'm learning this way, to me, I'm. A lot of his behavior, like, checks out. It tracks. I'm like, that makes sense. Like, I don't see the big. The big issue that you have to differentiate and say this is an entirely different character. But I mean, maybe it's just because I haven't gotten there yet. I haven't read the entire thing and, and been exposed to it all.
Ed
Well, one of the things they, they bring up, especially people like our boy Billy Carson, he talks. They look at when God gave the order, and we're actually going to be talking about this in, in the Bible study. He gave the order when, when the Israelites were going to. Israelites were going to the Promised land. Certain tribes, he said, wipe them out. He gave two or two sets of orders. He said there, when you go into the promised land, because they, they. It was filled with, with humans and nephilim who knew they weren't supposed to be there. They knew that this land was not theirs. They were squatting. God says with one group, you drive them out, say, hey, this is our land. Get out if you want, don't want to get out. We're going to fight you and you have to leave. So we'll drive them out. But he didn't say that you have to kill him. If you tell them to leave and they leave, fine. If they want to fight you, then, you know, you got to defend your land. The other group, he said, destroy. Completely destroy the men, women, children, and the animals. And that's when the. Billy Carson said, well, this is a demiurge. Why would a guy do that? Well, because, Billy, if you do a little bit of study and, you know, stop grooming your beard and actually look into these sorts of things all the time. All the tribes that God said to wipe out were all Nephilim tribes. They were the Raphaim, the Zuzuim, the sons of Anak, because God has a zero tolerance for nephilim, especially in his promised land, because they would have taken over and they would have usurped the legal right. So the Nephilim tribes were the ones that were to be wiped out. The human tribes, he said, to drive them out of the land because it's not theirs. That land was legally belongs to the descendants of Abraham. And they knew it. It wasn't like they were. Oh, I didn't know what this was. They knew what. They knew what it was. They knew the Israelites were coming. You can. It says in the Book of Numbers that the people who were in the land of Canaan, we're like, oh, this army of Israelites are coming, and this is their land. We better. You know, we need to either run or. Or fight.
Unknown
So, yeah, I. I saw that exemplified really well in the House of David series because it's one thing to read it, and then when you read it, your imagination kind of plays it out in your head, and then when you see it interpreted, you know, by, like, let's say, you know, whoever's got the money to put it on a big screen. The King Saul was told not to take any of the riches of the Amalekites and to not leave any alive. And. And of course, he. He doesn't listen to that. He takes the gold, he splits it among the people, and he keeps their leader. I think it was their leader as prisoner, as sort of bragging rights. And he is like a cannibal and a sorcerer. You know, he's a. He's a necromancer, I guess. Yeah. And. And so when you see that. And obviously throughout the film, there are also giants. Spoiler alert, guys. Then through that lens, like, I. It didn't strike me as odd at all that God would be like, yeah, you got to wipe them out, you know, And. And also the whole not taking their gold and not taking. And not leaving any alive, like, they are cannibals, they're sorcerers, they're necromancers. They have giants.
Top Lobster
Even the ones that aren't, like, genetically. Genetically nephilim, that these. These tribes that they were at war with were like, they do a great job. Like, when you. When you look at the. The reliefs in the Wall of. Geez, what was the name of the Philistines? It's like they put them in front of Anunnaki stuff, you know, like, they're holding the bag with the squiggly beards, and I'm like, damn.
Ed
Yeah.
Top Lobster
Like, that's kind of what this was. So, like, even if they genetically warrant, they're still summoning, they're still worshiping these.
Unknown
Deities and they're spiritually in cahoots with them.
Ed
Well, yeah, there's also a precedent of them of, of working with the fallen angels to be altered. Like it's like Nimrod for example. Nimrod was not born a Nephilim. Instead he became a Gibborine. And if you look at the Egyptian, the headdresses, you know, that's they, that's the cone head thing.
Unknown
Yeah.
Ed
La Marzulla gets into this stuff that you know, that they were actually doing. They were working with these fallen angels to alter them to get. And we say that today transhumanism is the same thing.
Unknown
They do that really well. They do it hugely with kids entertainment. In protect into particularly boys entertainment, it is so often that like your favorite character is going to be interceded on by behalf of some sort of entity and augmented in some way and then sent forth as like some sort of warrior. And that, that thing is like really it touches something in us. It touches something like in our genetic memory or something like that. This idea of like being augmented for battle by this thing that is higher than you and has chosen you because you're special. Now go forward and do this thing and it's like, man, is that a cool ass narrative. It's so easy to sell that to a little boy.
Ed
Yeah, there's a ton of that in entertainment. I mean. Yeah, just. I mean if you go all the way back to like the old series that like the, the Bionic man way way back in the day, like 70s, I guess, whereas. But it's always been appealing that, you know, you can be better. You can get some type of augmentation that will make you superhuman. I mean, I think it's really what. Maybe one of the reasons why the superhero genre has been so popular.
Unknown
Oh, it's huge.
Ed
The last 10, 15 years, these are people who are either altered directly like what, Captain America took some kind of serum or the Hulk or whatever, or you know, you have Iron man with his suit. I mean he. Technology, something is making you superhuman.
Unknown
Yeah. And Iron man puts it inside of his.
Ed
Right. Yeah.
Unknown
His body. Right. But that, I mean, you see that all the way in Power Rangers is some sort of alien species is discovered in a deep cave somewhere and it gives all these normal people all these, you know, superpowers. Like that is the easiest in the world to sell kids. And, and I think it resonates with everybody. I wonder if it resonates because there is something about us, us, you know, humans as a species, that this is. We have A history with this.
Ed
What was the first temptation? If you eat this fruit, you will be like the Elohim. Oh, we can be more than what? And that's the origin of sin. Wanting to be something more than what God intended for you. And wanting that is. Is where sin comes from. And so, yeah, it is. It's. It is a primal. I think you're right, Raven. I think it's a primal appeal.
Unknown
Yeah. Makes great movies.
Ed
So there's one more question that I'll actually. Next time. And that. And it's a good question. It says, why doesn't God just destroy Satan? Why does he let him, I guess, in the Fallen. Why does it let him just run around rampant and torment us? So I'll answer that one next time. We'll leave with that one. Then we get. Get into whatever else we're going to talk about. So cliffhanger.
Unknown
All right, well, what are we. So we're going to be talking about that next time and. And what else are we going to be discussing in the next episode?
Ed
Good question. I'm. I'm. I'm kind of thinking about it. Maybe we'll talk a little bit about some of those mysteries of creation because that, that one will. That bonus episode will be out and so my patrons will have a chance to have seen it. So we'll talk a little bit about the firmament, age of the earth, what the may might be. But I. I reserve the right to. To change that.
Unknown
Fair enough. Fair enough. It's in development. Whatever comes next is going to be your guesses as well as. As well as Eds.
Top Lobster
All right.
Ed
It'll be something. Genesis.
Unknown
Yeah.
Top Lobster
Yeah. From the book of Genesis. Thank you again, Ed, for spending an hour with us. Have fun on your trip with your kids and we'll see you guys next week. Don't forget to obey, submit and comply.
Ed
Bye.

Podcast Summary: Nephilim Death Squad - Episode 07: The Book of Genesis w/ Ed Mabrie - The Six Days of Creation
In Episode 07 of Nephilim Death Squad, hosted by TopLobsta Productions and featuring guest Ed Mabrie, the discussion delves deep into the Biblical account of creation as outlined in the Book of Genesis. This episode, titled The Six Days of Creation, offers a comprehensive exploration of theological interpretations, historical contexts, and the intersection of faith with contemporary scientific understanding.
The episode begins with the hosts promoting their Patreon and upcoming events, setting the stage for an engaging conversation with Ed Mabrie. Ed introduces himself and his work, highlighting his legacy site, faithbyreason.net, and his extensive materials, including blogs, podcasts, and upcoming books. He emphasizes the shift towards monetizing his content to sustain his projects, inviting listeners to support through Patreon for exclusive access to ad-free episodes, live chats, and early releases.
One of the central topics discussed is the concept of apostolic succession within the Catholic Church. Ed Mabrie challenges the traditional belief that there is an unbroken line of popes from Apostle Peter to the present. He points out the historical gap in records before Constantine in the 4th century, questioning the authenticity of documents like the Donation of Constantine and the Isidorian Decrees, both of which have been proven fraudulent.
Ed Mabrie states:
"[07:12] I don't have contention with the actual history of the Popes and I do believe that is one of the many, many things you can throw onto the fire that burns down Little Season theory."
This skepticism extends to the legitimacy of current papal authority, especially following the recent passing of Pope Francis.
The discussion transitions to Nephilim, referring to the offspring of fallen angels as depicted in the Book of Enoch and other ancient texts. Ed explains how these entities, a result of angels intermingling with human women, led to the proliferation of chaotic and powerful beings that threatened human existence. This intermingling was a direct challenge to God's established order, prompting divine intervention through events like the Flood to eradicate the Nephilim.
Ed Mabrie elaborates:
"[36:14] We were talking to Brian of Demon Erasers... and he was citing something that suggested that the variety in Nephilim was like, incredibly vast..."
The conversation highlights how these ancient narratives reflect ongoing themes of rebellion, chaos, and divine judgment.
Ed Mabrie provides an overview of the six days of creation, offering a unique blend of theological insight and scientific analogy.
Day 1: Let There Be Light
Ed Mabrie notes:
"[16:30] God withdrew his light, meaning something deeper than just the absence of illumination—people experienced real pain and chaos."
Day 2: Separation of Waters
Day 3: Dry Land and Vegetation
Day 4: Sun, Moon, and Stars
Days 5 & 6: Life on Earth
Throughout this section, Ed intertwines Biblical narratives with scientific concepts, such as quantum physics, to bridge faith and empirical understanding.
A significant portion of the episode explores the relationship between scientific phenomena and Biblical interpretation. Ed discusses concepts like the strong and weak nuclear forces, drawing parallels between scientific terminology and divine intervention. For instance, he correlates the strong nuclear force—which binds protons in an atom—with God's sustaining presence as described in Colossians.
Ed Mabrie explains:
"[19:45] 'Jesus is holding the world together. He keeps everything from flying apart,' which aligns with the quantum-level interactions that science struggles to fully explain."
The hosts debate the limitations of scientific explanations at the quantum level, suggesting that divine observation ensures the universe's orderly function.
Addressing the notion of pre-Adamic civilizations, Ed critiques the idea from a Biblical standpoint. He argues that such civilizations introduce theological inconsistencies, particularly regarding the origin of sin and humanity's unique creation.
Ed Mabrie asserts:
"[35:04] Believing that there's a pre-Adamic civilization shows that you're not reading this as the poem that it is."
He contends that Genesis 1 and 2, often treated separately, are part of a singular poetic narrative. Introducing pre-Adamic civilizations complicates the clear delineation of sin entering the world through Adam, as described in Genesis.
The conversation delves into the nature of angels, their capacity for repentance, and the implications of free will. Ed posits that angels, being higher-dimensional beings with extensive knowledge, were designed to avoid error. However, their rebellion demonstrates the complexities of free will within creation.
Ed Mabrie discusses:
"[44:34] Death is the inability to repair. Angels can die if they can no longer repair, as illustrated by their fate in hell—a state of eternal death where repair is impossible."
This leads to a broader discussion on why God allows fallen angels to persist, touching upon divine justice and the necessity of free will in maintaining meaningful creation.
Ed and the hosts explore how ancient myths, such as those from Homer's Odyssey, may reflect historical interactions with beings like the Nephilim. They draw parallels between classical legends and Biblical accounts, suggesting that these stories might be rooted in real encounters with supernatural entities.
Unknown Host remarks:
"[36:45] Homer's Odyssey probably was drawing from more reality with the Cyclops and Minotaur."
This segment underscores the enduring influence of these narratives across cultures and epochs.
As the episode wraps up, the hosts pose intriguing questions about God's actions, such as why He doesn't simply destroy Satan, leaving listeners eager for the next installment. They hint at upcoming discussions on the mysteries of creation, further exploring topics like the firmament and the nature of the Earth.
Top Lobster concludes:
"[56:40] Thank you again, Ed, for spending an hour with us. Have fun on your trip with your kids and we'll see you guys next week. Don't forget to obey, submit and comply."
Ed signs off with a teaser for the next episode, maintaining engagement and anticipation.
