David Lee Corbo
Before we get into this conversation, you were kind of talking about. Talking about what we're going to get into today. I'm very excited. It's an interesting topic, a fascinating one, but we got to let everybody know where they can find you.
Ed Mabry
Yeah. So my. My Legacy website is faithbyreason.net that's where like all my materials. I've been doing BL blogs and whatnot for like the last decade plus. Is there. But the main place to go. Excuse me. Is my patreon. Patreon.com faithby Reason. And so there's. That's where you can interact with me if you and well, announcement.

Ed Mabry

So if you've been contributing since May, you know, talk to your tax professional and maybe you can, you know, get some that tax some of that sweet, delicious tax money back. An incentive for, you know, folks who are not paid members to become one.

Deep State. Yeah, support me. Because hey, you know what you're getting? It's total transparency.

The monthly Bible study. Actually, the next one is coming up this Sunday and we go through the entire Bible in one year, once a month. From the supernatural point of view, not the sec. Not the human point of view. We're looking behind the scenes of what's going on in the background with the good and bad angels, with, you know, God, with Jesus. And we're looking at it from that point of view. So everyone has really been loving it. And so, yeah, that's how you can get involved.
Top Lobster
I'm gonna make it one of these days, Ed. But I, I also, I forgot. I forgot.
David Lee Corbo
Oh yeah.
Top Lobster
Even ask you permission.
David Lee Corbo
But we went ahead and did it.
Top Lobster
But we did it anyway. This is. I'm doing a fundraiser for Ed. I wanted it to be a little bit of a surprise. I think we sold one of these, but I haven't even advertised it. This is a Dr. Mabry shirt, so you know, the Dr. Dre Chronic logo. But we have Ed on there. It says the Rapture. Y' all trippin.
Ed Mabry
Go buy this little season.
David Lee Corbo
Very cool, though. I love that. Yeah, that's.
Ed Mabry
Thank You.
Top Lobster
All the proceeds are going to go to Ed. And we also have, well, all the, all the super chat. Well, half the super chats that we got from last week, which I'm trying to keep track of, will go to Ed. And now he's got a 501C3 to really money launder this stuff into.
David Lee Corbo
Exactly.
Ed Mabry
Backstage, guys, about the money laundering aspect of it, but how you just build the boots. I had a whole plan shout out.
David Lee Corbo
By the way, to G by Jonathan. That was a banger. Support Ed, not the Fed. That's a great comment.
Ed Mabry
Okay, you know what? I'm spilling that. I appreciate it.
David Lee Corbo
Right? That's a. That's a. That one's a keeper. That's a banger. Good. Good job, G By.
Ed Mabry
All right, if you buy a paperback of the. Of my book, I'll sign it for you for that one. I'd like that.
Top Lobster
Very cool.
David Lee Corbo
So before the show, we were talking about this idea of. This is something I'm only peripherally aware of. I heard whispers of it. But you were saying, Ed, that if you, if your feed on any social media is filled with eschatology, then this would have been something that you came across, this concept that the rapture.
Top Lobster
I mean, our feed should be filled with this. But I have no.
David Lee Corbo
We're only dealing with Twitter and Twitter.
Top Lobster
We'Re seeing alien stuff. So we're here in November.
David Lee Corbo
But I guess I can't help but wonder. I mean, Republic said the Rapture, so. So somebody's got an eschatology feed, okay. That is, you know, getting the same thing that Ed's getting. What are people saying is. Is going to happen here?
Ed Mabry
Yeah, so they're saying that the Feast of Trumpets, that's, you know, one of the. The Jewish. The first of the fall Jewish feast is also Rosh Hashanah, the, the beginning of the religious New Year. The same thing. Feast of Trump is Rosh Hashanah. That's going to happen on September 22nd and 23rd. I'll talk about why it's those two days, but everyone is. Is really, really, really on that. I'm getting a ton of stuff in my feed and I've been getting questions from. From my patrons. Hey, have you heard about this? Is it going to happen? And there's. There is actually a lot of compelling reasons to believe that 2025 is a pretty special year. And specifically that those dates of. Of September 22nd and 23rd might also be significant. So I wanted to talk about that. Talk about why some of the reasons why 2025 is considered such a pivotal year, not just by, you know, Christians and spiritual folk, but also by the. The evil people. They also have a reason for. For tout in 2025. And then why these specific two days might be interesting and then some reasons why we should, you know, cast a critical eye on it. So. And then if we have any time at the end, maybe talk a little bit about who killed Nimrod in. In the. In Genesis, because.
Top Lobster
Yeah, we're. Oh, Ed, also, man, just want to let you know we're not cheating on you.
David Lee Corbo
Right.
Top Lobster
This is a. I. I was. I was told this was an open relationship.
David Lee Corbo
I mean, that was what I signed.
Top Lobster
That's what Ed said initially.
David Lee Corbo
I was pretty sure.
Ed Mabry
We'Re doing.
Top Lobster
We're doing another Bible study with a local guy from a coffee shop.
Ed Mabry
Okay.
Top Lobster
Here. He lives right next to me. And we're on the Book of Daniel. So we're doing, like, the book of Genesis and the Book of Daniel. These people are spoiled. The people.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah.
Top Lobster
But I'd like to have you.
David Lee Corbo
Honestly, it's all for us. Like, this is like, you know, this whole thing is a learning experience. It's information that I want. You know, we just so happen to let people watch it. But even if we didn't have a camera, we would still set this up just like this. Sit in these chairs. We probably wear headphones when we do the Bible study. So, I mean, you know, but I'd like.
Top Lobster
I'd like to see one day if we can coordinate and have you on, I guess, virtually, because you're on the other side of the. The continent.
David Lee Corbo
Unless he comes to Bohemian Grove, which.
Top Lobster
I don't know if that's happening. No, no. Well, I mean, we'll figure out if it happens.
Ed Mabry
I'm down. I'm sorry. I missed the last one. So I'm going to do my best to make the next one. If we. If we have it.
Top Lobster
It's all right, Ed. Whatever.
David Lee Corbo
If we have it.
Ed Mabry
Right?
David Lee Corbo
I know. If we have it. So before we get into this, I do want to say there's not much time left in 2025. We're supposed to have something. Yeah, no, dude, this part is. It's upsetting. We might have something happen in September. It might be the Rapture. We might have something happen in November. It might be fake and gay aliens, you know, or if you believe that this thing is actually New Jerusalem on the horizon that's. That's headed this way. All kinds of crazy theories around. Three Eye Atlas is what its name is. NASA's trying to terrify us with that whole situation. And what's her name, the old lady, Baba Vanga, said that we were going to have an interaction with aliens in 2025. That's what she said. And then Alice Bailey and I forget the other. That's right. Also have this prediction about 2025.
Ed Mabry
I'm going to mention her. Yeah, go ahead.
David Lee Corbo
Yes, so. So this idea that the new age golden age aliens, the return of Christ, all things are on the table. Yeah. It seems 2025 is a special year. So let's, let's pick it up.
Top Lobster
Questions. We have. You have a two day period that you're talking about, so we have to cover that. And also before we go, before we pass this shout out Doc Brown Prometheus lens. The latest. One of the latest on tinfoil hat crushed. Got to have him on to talk about that.
David Lee Corbo
Great work, brother. Yeah, great to talk to you soon.
Ed Mabry
But Ed. Yeah, I gotta listen to that. I actually saw it in my feed. I was, I. I need to listen to that one because I'm all about the seed war. I think it's really interesting. I want to get this guy's take on it.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah, you know, you should link up. That would.
Top Lobster
He actually. He showed up to Bohemian Grovet.
David Lee Corbo
That's right. And he was asking, he said, where's Ed Mabry? Is what he said.
Top Lobster
Yeah, he's like, where's that?
David Lee Corbo
He said he couldn't actually. Yeah, he didn't wanna. He didn't wanna come. So. So wherever you'd like to. To pick it up. Ed, let's talk about this situation in September.
Ed Mabry
Yeah. So let's start talking. First of all, let's talk about, talk about some of the reasons that 2025, in addition to what you guys said, because I want to hear more about the whole alien thing. I'm not as up to speed. I think I'll be getting you guys up to speed on some of the. The Rapture stuff. And you can give me up to speed on the alien thing in November because they might all be tied together, you know, because I think if the Rapture. If and when the Rapture was going to happen. But when it happens, I think there's going to be an alien component to it because I think that's going to be one of the ways they probably explain how it happened whenever it happens. All right, so let's start with 2025. Why is it such a pivotal year? Well, first of all, let's talk about the Essene calendar. So that's One of the big reasons for it. So who, who are the Essenes? The Essenes were one of the four major religious groups that were around before, during, and a little bit after the time of Jesus. There were the, the Pharisees and the Sadducees. The Sadducees were the, were the political folks who, they were not religious, but they pretended to be, which is, you know what politicians do. They pretended to be religious in order to curry favor. Happens to this day, every politician claims to be a Christian, even though I'm extremely doubtful that most of them are, but they have to pretend to be. So the Sadducees were those folks, but they weren't. They didn't believe in the supernatural, but they pretended they were. So the, so they were the politicians, the Pharisees. They were the highfalutin religious types who would wear, you know, the very expensive robes and expensive jewelry and they would walk around like, you know, their crap didn't stink. And they elevated the, their, their traditions, the traditions of men over the word of God. And they wanted people to follow their traditions instead of the traditions of, instead of the Bible, which sounds a lot like a certain organization that's headquartered in the Vatican who are exactly like that. Those are the ones who, Jesus, Jesus only had a problem with them, no one else. He was fine with you. Or a thief, a prostitute, a fisherman, he didn't care. But if you were a Pharisees, that's who, that's who he had a problem with because they were elevating their traditions over men. You also have the scribes. The scribes were the Torah teachers. They only believe in the first five books of, of the Bible, the Law, Genesis, through Deuteronomy, and they excluded everything else. They're like the people who say, you know, I only read the, the red letters in the Bible because that's Jesus is saying and everything else I don't pay attention to. So that's them. And, and they're all named. But then you also had the Essenes. The Essenes were in the Gospels, but they were never called that. But what the Essenes were, they were more than the mystical types. They believed in prophecy. They were, they were, you know, they follow prophecy and they were really, really into the coming of the Messiah. So whenever you would see in the Gospels where Jesus would preach a sermon or have a saying and then you would read, a multitude began to follow him and believe on him. Those were the Essenes because they were waiting for it. They had, we were talking about the Book of Daniel. They Were following the Daniel's prophecy about how, you know, the 70 weeks. And they knew, hey, the Messiah should be showing up right about now according to what Daniel said. And they were waiting for him. And when Jesus came, they said, this is the guy. So the people who just readily follow Jesus, they were the Essenes, even though they weren't mentioned. So what is it about the Essenes that relates to 20, 25? Well, they famously had a calendar. And in their calendar they believed that the our existence on earth would last 7,000 years. And it had, they separated it into 2,000 year eras or epochs followed by a last 1,000 years. So they believe that from the time of Adam to Abraham was 2,000 years. From Abraham to the first coming of the Messiah would be another 2,000 years. Then from the first coming of the Messiah to his second coming would be another 2,000 years, getting us to 6,000. And then the final thousand years would be the millennial reign. So they, and they also measured time by the Jubilees. Now jubilees are in the Bible. The whole idea that these thousand year epochs, they, that was their tradition, but it was not directly in the Bible. But the jubilee years are in the Bible. The jubilee years are 40 or 50 year periods and they're 49 years. And then the next year, the 50th year is a jubilee year. In the jubilee year, it was a time of renewal and celebration where everyone would basically be at rest. And it was a time to renewal. All debts were forgiven, all slaves were allowed to go free. Yeah, any land that was purchased goes back to the original owner. So it's just a time of restoration. So they believed that. So, so, so that's, that's the 50 year Jubilees. And they believe that a lot of these, the majority.
Top Lobster
I'm sorry, yeah, question. So, all right, how does the land go back to the original owner? Is it like, are there only leases happening during. Yeah, basically like.
Ed Mabry
Exactly. Yeah. So that's, this is under, under Jewish law that because everyone, once they came to the promised land, everyone claimed a plot of land that was theirs. It's just they and their family. But some, you know, you don't get on hard times. You need to sell your land and someone wants to buy it, then you can sell it to them. But at the 50th year, at the jubilee year, it goes back to the family. This was God's way of making sure that everyone had their land. So yeah, it was essentially a lease. And I guess if you're really kind of smarmy, you Would you would like, you know, sell your land like a year before the jubilee, knowing that you're only going to have this for a year? And then it goes back to me. But, but that was, that was basically how it went. And this in like I said, all the slaves, which basically indentured servitude. Because people say, well, there's slavery in the Bible. Yeah, well, not chattel slavery, like was done to people who look like me a couple hundred years ago. No, slavery was indentured servitude. If you, if you owed someone money and you couldn't pay it, then you could basically work it off. You would work for that person until your debt was paid off, then you went free. It's basically the same arrangement we have with our credit card. So, but again, all deaths were forgiven and they were allowed to go free. So it was, it was a celebratory time. And these, and these jubilees seem to coincide with significant events. For example, the, they were always these, all these 2000 year epochs would end at a jubilee. So the final jubilee of that 2,000 years between Abraham and Jesus, that last jubilee at last 50 year cycle began when around the time of Jesus's ministry. Because the, the jubilee year is called the acceptable year of the Lord. And, and when Jesus began his ministry, he quoted from the book of Isaiah, I believe, chapter 62, where Jesus said, you know, I, I, this is, this is the acceptable year of the Lord. He's saying that this is the jubilee year and I'm beginning my ministry. And then 50 years later was the, was the end of that epoch because that was around 70 A.D. give or take a couple years, about 73 A.D. that's when, you know, the destruction of Jerusalem and that basically ended the period of the law. So, so Jesus, Jesus appeared during the beginning of that jubilee cycle. And the jubilee cycle ended with, you know, with the destruction of Jerusalem. So what does that do with 2025? Well, according to the Essenes, that's the 6,000 years ends in 2075. 2075 according to them is the beginning, will be the beginning of the millennial reign, the last thousand years. So if you take 2075 and subtract 50 years because it's, it will end at the final, the final jubilee, it would go take us back to 2025. So 2025 according to the Essene calendar is the beginning of the last jubilee. So this is supposedly a Jubilee year, 2025, and it's the last Jubilee before the second coming of Christ. So that's one of the reasons why 2025 is such a big year.
David Lee Corbo
And because again, I said that's a pretty good reason. I mean, if, if we're interpreting their calendar the right way. Yeah, that's a solid, you know, that's not, you're not doing a bunch of like crazy leaps in math or anything like that. You're just looking at their calendar as they had it. And that's, that's pretty fascinating. I wasn't aware of that.
Ed Mabry
Yeah. So if you, if you want to take it, if anyone wants to take a deeper dive in this, into this, there's a guy, his name Josh Peck, he is on, he's part of the Prophecy Watchers Ministry. Last name is P E C K. You can look him up. He has, he has a book on the Essenes and the Dead Sea Scrolls and he goes into really deep detail about their calendar and why there's some legitimacy to it and reasons to believe it. So, yeah, so this is apparently a jubilee year, the last, the beginning of the last jubilee and Jesus returned. I mean, Jesus first appearance was at the beginning of the jubilee year that ended, you know, that the previous 2000 year epoch. So there's one reason to believe it. Another reason to that 2025 is significant is because there are many people who believe that Jesus will return 2000 years after his death and resurrection. His death and resurrection, according to many, happened in A.D. 32. If, if that is true and he was crucified in AD 32, and you take that forward 2000 years, well, that gets us to 2032. So if Jesus returns in 2032 and his return is preceded by the, the tribulation, the seven year period, the 70th week of Daniel. Well, you go to 2032, subtract seven years, it would have to begin, the tribulation would have to begin in 2025. So that's another reason to believe 2025 might be a significant year if they're correct about when Jesus's death and resurrection. So that's interesting right there. So there not only reasons for religious people to believe in this, but also we were just talking about, some of the secular folks in the new age believe it. Helena Blavatsky famously said, and she was a, she was a Satanist, a medium, she would channel, you know, demons and fallen angels. And this is back in the 1920s, 100 years ago, she said that the new world order would be rapidly taking shape in 2025. Yeah, she said this a hundred years ago. And I heard this long before I even knew about the Essenes or any of that stuff. I just heard that when I was taking my first foray into the conspiracy world like 20 years ago.
David Lee Corbo
That's when I first heard some of the, some of the language that she used was Golden Age. Specifically the language. Golden Age. And then Donald Trump, you know, leading up to him securing the presidency this time around, kept saying, we're entering a golden age. We're entering a golden age. And he was saying it so much that it made me look into it. And this, it's, it's a really significant terminology that's associated with a lot of, A lot of really influential characters throughout history. But then, yeah, of course, Helena Blavatsky talking about, you know, 2025, the entering of the Golden Age, Age of Aquarius, what have you. So, yeah, it's hard to ignore.
Top Lobster
Are you familiar with that, that idea, the Nisara Gesara from the comment I just pulled up there?
Ed Mabry
No, I don't.
Top Lobster
No, I'm not funny that you. Yeah, it's like a QAnon idea and it's associated with Donald Trump and you know, his most radical followers that are really big into this thing like 10 days of darkness and all this stuff.
Ed Mabry
Yeah, yeah.
Top Lobster
But Nisara Jasara is like a government plan that's like, oh, it's secret under wrap stuff. We where they're going to forgive all the debt and restart.
David Lee Corbo
Right.
Top Lobster
So, yeah, as you're mentioning the year of jubilee being possibly this year, the last year of jubilee that is on the horizon. I don't know if it's on the horizon.
David Lee Corbo
Dude, that's a great.
Top Lobster
Yeah, great.
David Lee Corbo
Who, who said that? Let's, let's give. That's Daddy Prophet.
Top Lobster
Daddy Prophet rushing. A prophet said it so clearly.
David Lee Corbo
There you go. But yeah, that's something that's big in the QAnon community. This idea of Nisara Jasar and I never quite understood it. So that's, that's the implications as a forgiveness of debt, wiping the slate clean type of a deal.
Top Lobster
That's.
Ed Mabry
Yeah, that's in Leviticus. Yeah, well, I mean, as far as like the, the feast day. But yeah, but this is, this would co. Interesting that this would coincide with a jubilee year when the Bible says in Leviticus that in. During the Jubilee you forgive debts.
Top Lobster
Nancy, can you look up the acronym for us and let us know what that means? Nar, because it means something. I don't know, but I don't. I know that it means forgiveness of debt and it's one of those things where it's like, would be nice to restart. But then I. Where does that put on the timeline? Like if you're saying that some people think it's this will be the final jubilee year and Jesus will reveal himself like he did the first time.
Ed Mabry
Right.
Top Lobster
That would set up 2075 as the.
Ed Mabry
The start of the millennium. Yeah, the second coming.
Top Lobster
So then when does the Rapture happen? Because there's this 50 years in between. So you have seven rapture and that's one.
Ed Mabry
That's one of the things that don't exactly line up that I want to talk about because, okay, some people are saying he's going to return again, only 2000 year anniversary of his death, which would be 20, 2032. And then the scenes say this millennium starts at 2027. Unless I guess, theoretically he could return in 2032. But then the millennium doesn't actually start because, I mean, a lot of things have to be set up and for the millennium you have to have. The millennial temple has to be built. You figure the earth is going to be devastated. So I don't know, maybe there'll be some cleanup of that after the Tribulation. Who knows? I mean, but that's because when in Josh Peck's book, which I was talking about earlier, because he has that same idea of, you know, are we going to have to wait until 2027? And he says, no, that doesn't mean Jesus is returning in 2027. It just means that last thousand years begins in 20. Excuse me. It doesn't mean that Jesus is going to return in 2075, but that the millennium begins in 2075. That's just the official start of it. So.
David Lee Corbo
Right.
Ed Mabry
And there's, you know, there may be things that have to happen, and there are some things that have to happen between the time Jesus returns and the beginning of his kingdom. Like I said, the millennial temple has to be built. Who knows how long that's going to take? The Earth is going to be virtually uninhabitable after everything that happens in the Tribulation. So could be a cleanup period. Don't know. I mean, that's all speculation, but that's probably the only way I can think of those two ideas coinciding.
Top Lobster
Nancy says the acronym is National Economic Security and Reformation Act. This is what. But yeah, take it.
Ed Mabry
Really good.
David Lee Corbo
It reminds me a little bit of. I'm sorry to interrupt, Ed. It reminds me of that 20 Messiah, 2030 thing. Remember that?
Ed Mabry
Yeah, I did a video on that.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah, yeah. And there was there was a few things. I remember you saying that like you didn't. But, but otherwise like they did a pretty decent job and there was a lot of interesting points that they were making. And so, you know, I wonder about that too. It seems like a lot of people pointing at this, this time in history.
Ed Mabry
Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, but he believes that was 2030 and then others believe it's 2032. But I mean it's, it's, you know, near there. And one of the issues I had with the Messiah 2030 would mean that the tribulation would have had to have started two years ago. And well, it hasn't. So that was really my big thing with him. And, and his way around it was saying, well, Jesus fulfilled the first three and a half years in his first coming. And so we're not looking for seven years, we're looking for three and a half years which, which is the so called great tribulation, the last three and a half years which would have to begin in I guess like next year maybe actually would have to begin. Yeah, begin like in the middle of, of 2026 or May 2027. I forget I didn't. I need to do better math on that.
David Lee Corbo
But yeah, so yeah, I think it's about that though. That's, that's interesting. I mean, you know, it's like when I'm looking at that, I'm looking at a difference of, of yeah.
Ed Mabry
Would have to happen spring of 2027.
David Lee Corbo
Right. And we're talking like 730 days difference here when it comes to like the, you know, 2030 or 2032. And in the grand scheme of things, if anybody narrowed it down and was within a 730 day window, they'd be like, that was pretty good, that was a pretty good shot, man. Like, you know what I mean? No man knows the, the day or the hour and things like that.
Ed Mabry
We're talking about that, that statement, by the way.
David Lee Corbo
Okay, all right, so, so let's continue then.
Ed Mabry
Yeah, and so I think. So the other thing is that supposedly there's a. Well, I'll get into, into the September part, but one of the things about that that you may have heard of is that apparently the United nations on, on September 22nd or 23rd are supposed to be talking about another solution to the, the Israel Palestine situation where they may, where they're going to maybe try to, you know, finally do the two state solution. That would be interesting if that happened around that date. But that's, I haven't done a lot of research into that yet. But I've been hearing from a lot of people that that's a date that the UN has set to have some big discussion about the two state solution. So that would also be really interesting. So, so those are, are some of the reasons that 2025, among many others that you guys are mentioning, that 2025 is considered a pretty pivotal year for, for all those reasons. So.
David Lee Corbo
Well, I want to catch you, catch you up a little. Oh, wait, no, you have no. I'm sorry, I thought you were, you were, you were done with the list of reasons.
Ed Mabry
But if you have another one, I'm September 22nd and 23rd. But if you have something else about 2025 you want to throw in, go ahead.
David Lee Corbo
No, no, no, no.
Ed Mabry
Okay, so what is it about September 22nd and 23rd? Well, this goes to the Feast of Trumpets, which I just talked about. So there are basically, there are seven feasts that were, that the Israelites were supposed to observe from Leviticus. And those, those feast days were to commemorate events that happened. And also they were more of a kind of a dress rehearsal for the, at the first and second advent of the Messiah. So the first three feasts, so the seventh feasts are the Feast of Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of First Fruits, the Feast of Pentecost, the Feast of Trumpets, or Rosh Hashanah, the Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur, and then finally the Feast of Tabernacles. So the fe. So Jesus fulfilled the first three feasts at his first coming, the Feast of Passover. Jesus was crucified on the Feast of Passover. He was a sacrifice, the sacrificial lamb. He was buried the next day on the Feast of Unleavened Bread. His body was broken for us. And so that, that represents his burial. And then he rose again three days later on the Feast of First Fruits. So on the feet. So Passover, you know, you have, you sacrifice the lamb, unleavened bread. You would eat bread without leaven and without any type of, of rising agent, because putting a rising agent into the dough would puff it up. So that was a symbol of pride. And you're supposed to remain humble. And then the Feast of First Fruits is when, when people would bring their, the best of their harvest for sacrifice. And so Jesus rose from the dead on the Feast of First Fruits. And so he was the first fruits of our resurrection. That's one of his titles. Then the next piece is the Feast of Pentecost, which happened a few 50 days later, the Feast of Pentecost is a feast that's actually tied to the Gentiles because that's the only feast where you're supposed to eat bread with leaven in it. So that represents the Gentile nations because they were, you know, they were the nations who were. Who were not kosher, as it were. And leaven and leavened bread was not considered kosher for these feasts. So some people speculate that that means the Gentiles. So the era of the Church, it was also the longest feast. There's never the gap between. A long gap between the Feast of Pentecost, which would be around late April, generally speaking, and then the Feast of Trumpets, the next feast would be in the fall. So Jesus fulfilled the first three feasts and the. The fourth feast. Pentecost is representative of the church age. He has not yet fulfilled the three fall feasts, which are supposed to be about his second coming. So the Feast of Trumpets. In the Feast of Trumpets, you would. They would blow a hundred trumpets followed by the final trumpet or the last trumpet, which would be the loudest and longest trumpet. And trumpets traditionally are something that announces something big or a call to battle. So, so it means Jesus basically announcing something then. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, was when we would atone, the Jews would atone or pay for their sins. That is considered indicative of the tribulation when final judgment happens, where God, you know, pours out his wrath and his judgment. And then finally you have the Feast of Tabernacles. The Feast of Tabernacles represents the wilderness wandering where in the Exodus, where God was physically dwelling with the Israelites, he would be a pillar of fire by night, a pillar of clouds by day. And so tabernacles basically mean God's with us, God is tabernacling with us. And that represents the millennial reign. All right, so what does it have to do with the Rapture? Well, this goes to Matthew 24, the Olivet discourse, when Jesus famously says, as you mentioned earlier, Raven, no man knows the day or the hour. And this is famously used by people who are believers in the Rapture, especially the pre tribulation rapture of the Church. They will use it, use this to say that no one knows. Jesus said, no one knows the day of the hour or the hour. Jesus says of that day. No one knows the day of the hour. So they're saying, basically, we don't know when the Rapture is going to happen. However, and this is interesting that the Feast of Trumpets in order for. It's the only day that doesn't have, the only feast that doesn't have an exact start date is. That's why it's the 22nd order, the 23rd. Because in order for the Feast of Trumpets to begin, two priests have to both witness a new moon. And, but that may not happen on the same day because there could be cloud cover, there could be other circumstances. So it could happen. So they have a two day period where they would both see the new moon and then that would be the start of the Feast of Trumpets. So no one knew exactly what it was going to happen, when it was going to happen. So traditionally the Feast of Trumpets was called the feast feast of which no man knows the day or the hour. And that's what a lot of people have jumped on with this because that's interesting. Yeah, it's officially called that in, in ancient times. So, so when Jesus was talking to, you know, ancient is ancient, you know, 2,000 years ago, Israelites and he says no one knows the day or the hour. To us that means, okay, Jesus is just saying we don't know when it's going to happen. But to a first century Israelite they would say, oh, he's talking about the piece of trumpets because that's what it was called. Wow.
David Lee Corbo
I had, dude, that's like a, a wild, like that's a thing that gets toted around constantly. Especially you know, in these circles where we're trying to understand scripture and we're trying to look around for signs and, and you know, determine whether or not we are in, you know, the end times or something like that. And it's, it's constant. Like that's a, it's a very short rebuttal that you will get, you know, pretty consistently where it's no man knows the day or the hour that I had no idea that they, they would have understood that to be the, the, the name of the feast.
Top Lobster
Well, here's a good. Sorry for me if Simulacra on YouTube Here they, they're commenting about the Deagle report, which is something that I forgot about as well. It's a 2017 report where.
Ed Mabry
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Top Lobster
A huge collapse in population in 2025.
David Lee Corbo
And it's, you know, a good time to mention everybody's favorite bald boomer, Cliff High, who predicted with his AI, whatever we're just going to call it AI because I'm tired of explaining it with his AI model that that suggests that something is going to take place. He interprets it as A mass hallucination, because of course he would. But he says that there's going to be an event that takes place. It's supposed to be within this year, and it's supposed to be a bunch of people, especially across the Bible Belt of America, who believe that they have bore witness to the Rapture, but they themselves, you know, were not raptured. Which of course, the only people that would be around to tell that would be the ones who weren't raptured. So. And then. But he says he thinks it's a hallucination, maybe caused by some chemical, maybe even a chemical that's produced in Canada for whatever reason his data set is suggesting something like that to him. But.
Top Lobster
Well, let's put a. Let's put a pin in Cliff High, because.
David Lee Corbo
No, that's. I don't even want to talk about him anymore.
Top Lobster
No, he's going to be important. Yeah, yeah. When we talk about the alien aspect.
Ed Mabry
Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay.
Top Lobster
Thanks for the $5. I think his name is actually Dick Wrinkle.
David Lee Corbo
It is. That's Mr. Dick Wrinkle.
Top Lobster
Yes.
Ed Mabry
He.
David Lee Corbo
He gave us a fantastic story on Chronicles.
Top Lobster
That's right. Episode. I feel this. Let's continue. Thanks for interrupting.
David Lee Corbo
I feel you, Mr. Dick.
Ed Mabry
No problem. So, again, so those who, who equate that no man know the day of the hour is a rapture. Well, Jesus is saying, well, the rapture is going to happen on the feast in Feast of Trumpets. And again, this is something that for most of my life, Christian life especially, I didn't even know that. I just took it as, as. As what everyone always says, because all of the rapture guys I would follow growing up, you know, Chuck Missler and Tommy Ice and Robert Breaker and Tim, like, hey, you name them, they all would say the same thing. We don't know when it's going to happen because Jesus said this. But it's funny how even they missed it. And I didn't really know about it until about two years ago when another friend of mine who was very into the whole Jewish aspect of the feast said, hey, did you know this feast was called that? I'm like, I didn't. Holy crap. That. Okay, that makes.
David Lee Corbo
Wild.
Ed Mabry
That's really. Yeah, it's wild. So it's important.
David Lee Corbo
It's very important. I mean, the context is tremendous.
Ed Mabry
And, and then. And again, you have the Apostle Paul who said in First Corinthians the first time, when he reveals the Rapture for the first time, he says, you know, behold, I show you a mystery, a mysterion in Greek, which means, I'm showing you something that was hidden before now, but it's being revealed for the first time. I show you a mystery, a mysterion. We shall not all sleep, but we will all be changed in the moment, in the twinkling of an eye. For, you know, the Lord descent from heaven and a shout, and. And with the. With the shout of voice, of archangel, at the last trumpet, what do we say about the piece of trumpets? A hundred trumpets are blown, and then the last trumpet is the longest and loudest. So, again, Paul was obviously a Jew. He was a Pharisee before he was converted. So he knew all about the feast. He knew that the Feast of Trumpets that ended with the last trumpet. And he specifically said that the rapture is going to occur at the last trumpet. And if you take that literally, which no reason not to, he appears to be equating that to the Feast of Trumpets. So you have Paul equating to the Feast of Trumpets, Jesus possibly equating it to the Feast of Trumpets. And you put all that together with the fact that, you know, 2025 appears to be a very pivotal year. It all seems to be coming together. And that's why you have everybody and their mother who's into eschatology on YouTube and other places saying that this is it. You know, everything's lining up. All this stuff is happening. And so that. Those are some of the main reasons I give A few more in my. On my Patreon just posted, like, you know, an hour ago, that this. There's. These are some very compelling reasons to, at the very least, pay very close attention to this. And if this whole thing about the UN doing some type of thing with Israel and Palestine, a lot of stuff's happening.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah, there's a. An event happening in Florida started happening last night. Did you see that? It was like this. This loud blast noise, and it was happening in Tampa, and it was going, like, everywhere. Like, the, The. The radius of this noise was, like, huge. I think, actually Ted posted about it, our buddy that we just had on for the Flat Earth episode. But, you know, there's always these, like, loud, mysterious sounds that, that you'll catch videos of occasionally. And a lot of them sound like trumpets being, like, horns being blasted. And people will always kind of go like, oh, it is. You know, they're.
Ed Mabry
They're.
David Lee Corbo
They're sounding the trumpets. It's actually. You're actually hearing it. Yeah, you got to find our. Our. Our guy Ted, check him out, and you'll find it on his Page. So who knows? A lot of strangeness happening. I don't know if that's necessarily correlated.
Ed Mabry
But it was just someone contacted me. I think they've either emailed me or it was on my Patreon where they were asked, talking about people hearing all these trumpet sounds. And it sounded like a metallic trumpet. And I'd say, well, keep in mind that there it is, first of all, the trumpets that Paul was speaking of, Jesus was speaking of the Feast of Trumpet, it's a shofar. It's made from a ram's horn. So it's not going to sound metallic and.
David Lee Corbo
Right.
Ed Mabry
And again, it's, it's not randomly happening. It's going to happen on that particular day in a particular sequence.
David Lee Corbo
So, you know, just those noises, by the way, they've been happening for a long time, really. Hey, Dustin, Nemo says there's a group tracking trumpet sounds worldwide. Yeah, so. So when I say it's been happening for a long time, I don't know that I caught the first wave of it, but we're talking like 2007, 2008, probably, you know, people in the Canadian wilderness just looking up at the sky. They're in, they're. They're hiking, they're in the woods, they're miles out there. And it sounds like. I remember one of the comments that resonated with me most said it sounds like God is sliding a large metal deck desk across the floor, like. And it would stop and it was so loud. I, I was.
Top Lobster
That's a sound that's also associated with cryptid sightings.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah. Portals opening. That's what people think it is. I think, honestly, I think the most conventional explanation for it is when they drill for these deep underground military bases, it ain't going to be quiet and it's also not going to be explained. You know what I mean? Like, they're going to do that. And the local news isn't going to have any idea what the hell that noise was. But if you're taking massive drilling equipment and your goal is to, you know, make some deep underground military base, I imagine that'll make quite a bit of sound. But some high strangeness that I think, you know, also points to. Just this time, whatever's going on from September to November is NASA. You said that you haven't been following this, so I'd like to bring it to your attention. Maybe it means something to you, but Three Eye Atlas, is that. What is it? It's not. That's not nice. I don't know what that Noise was when that happened. But that's not nice. Who knows what that noise was? So, so okay, you know, NASA, NASA is telling us that there is a large incoming object. And I think in some reports it's, it's said to be the size of Manhattan and it's said to be moving. I think they said was it, was it like a trillion miles per hour?
Top Lobster
Like it was made up number.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah, some insane made up number and, and, and all these details about it that it's moving unnaturally, that it's not, you know, it's not. This is something that is man. It is an intelligent craft. And then they just go a step further and they're like. And it's hostile. Now, now some of the things that are interesting about that and you could trust these news anchormen that have been talking about it. These are two trustworthy gentlemen. That's where you, that's where I get my news from. And so, so they, there's an image that's come out and, and I think I might be conflating two, you know, mysterious space bodies. But one of the images is, is, you know, it's many different colored lights in a, in a straight line and people.
Top Lobster
That's hostile.
David Lee Corbo
And they go, that's hostile. And people say, well you know, the millennial kingdom is said or to, to look or you know, appear. New Jerusalem. New Jerusalem is said to appear like a rainbow.
Ed Mabry
Yes. Foundation is like many colored jewels. Jewelry, precious stones basically. So I guess you could, you know, if you see some of additions of it, you know.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah, could be right. So, but I don't think that that is what's happening here because this is a time lapse photo. So all of those images of individual points of light that are multicolored are, are just this thing changing color as it is, it moves across. Anyway, they are saying November is when this thing is going to arrive and they are saying that it's hostile and which is like. I, I'm telling you Ed, it is, it's incredible to me. Not long ago the New York Times came out and they said that remote viewers. There you go. That's the image that, that people are seeing. Oh, okay, so it is 3i Atlas.
Top Lobster
Yeah, Interstellar. That's what the.
David Lee Corbo
I mean, I believe Yahoo.com so, so you know, what the heck was I saying? They're inter, they're, they're expecting this to arrive. It's apparently beelining directly for Earth. It's hostile. Oh, I was saying that Time magazine or not Time magazine, New York Post came out and said that remote viewers, this is a while back, viewed the surface of Mars and it seems that there was a war there or something to that effect. And I go, how dare you say that? Dumb. Because it's, it's like, people don't expect that from the New York Times.
Ed Mabry
Yeah.
David Lee Corbo
So you're breaking character and you're giving something that your audience. Because we know who your audience is. Who's the audience for the New York Times or the New York Post?
Top Lobster
The vaccinated.
David Lee Corbo
The vaccinated. Exactly. And you're giving these people some of the most obtuse crap you could ever.
Ed Mabry
We've. We've.
David Lee Corbo
You haven't even told them about remote viewers.
Ed Mabry
You know what I mean? Would refer to remote viewer. Remote viewing. Yes. Yeah.
David Lee Corbo
It's kind of incredible. So. Which, you know, there's a group of remote viewers that allegedly viewed Three Eye Atlas too. And they have all kinds of, you know, remarkable things to say about ancient technology and yada, yada, yada. But. But to make a long story short, it's coming, Ed, and it is hostile and so.
Ed Mabry
And apparently gay as a rainbow. Okay.
David Lee Corbo
And apparently, apparently it's gay. And for now, we're only calling it it because it is unfair to assume it's gender. There's. I don't know what's going to happen. They.
Top Lobster
Them seem to be very angry lately.
David Lee Corbo
Legion seems to be on. Its. On its way. I don't know. I just think that given everything we're talking about, this, this idea of, let's say, hypothetically, a rapture happens September and then the party kicks off November.
Top Lobster
There's also like the Cliff High thing. So he has all these predictions and they're interesting and we talk about him sometimes, but on Twitter, he is, like, super aggressive toward Christianity and. Yeah, yeah.
David Lee Corbo
Which is odd because he references the Elohim. He believes in the Elohim, but somehow thinks that, you know, this is Cliff's high. I would never say such a thing, but Cliff High believes that, like, the Jews that run the world, which I don't know where he gets that from, are elo. The Elohim worship cult. But I. It just seems that he doesn't understand there's a differentiation between, like, the Elohim and then, like the Elohim. You know what I mean?
Top Lobster
He. He does, but he's. He's been tweeting a lot about the Three Eye Atlas and he's saying, like, boy, do these Christians have another thing coming when this lands. Their entire religion is going to go on a Spin on its head. And I can't, like, I can't wait for it. These guys are so stupid. I'm just like, it's interesting that that's paired with that and aimed at Christianity.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah.
Top Lobster
And then you're coming to me with this idea of the Rapture the month, a month before it. Listen, it could all be nothing, but it's lining up in a peculiar way.
David Lee Corbo
Especially because his own predictions say that there's some Rapture event coming place coming into. He just interprets it as a hallucination rather than an actual event.
Ed Mabry
Yes. No, so, and I think I, we talked about this on the show before and I mentioned a little earlier that I really think that when the Rapture happens there is going to be this alien component that's going to happen immediately after that because they, they have to have an explanation for it. And, and this isn't new. This. I was actually listening to La Marzulli earlier on, on YouTube when I was taking my kids to school, and he was talking about when, you know, before he was a Christian, like, you know, 20 some odd years ago or I mean, well, maybe when he's in his 20s. He was very much into New Age and he was hearing even back then that it was very common knowledge in New Age, this idea that the undeserving or people who are not prepared for the coming age are going to be taken off the earth.
David Lee Corbo
Oh, that's fascinating. That's an angle that I, I, that explains how they're, they would deal with that.
Ed Mabry
Yeah, yeah, they would say that, you know, did you guys ever read the book or see the series on. I think it was on HBO called the Leftovers?
David Lee Corbo
No, Nothing.
Ed Mabry
Sound familiar?
Top Lobster
Yeah, I, it does sound familiar to me. The Leftovers. What is it about?
Ed Mabry
It was a quasi rapture. It wasn't, it wasn't a religious show. But I think he took the author and the people who produced the show. They took the idea from the Rapture because basically about, I think a certain percentage, like 2% of the world's population just disappear without explanation. And it just took, put the world into a chaotic state because no one had an explanation for it. And, but there was one guy who was a preacher who could. Some people were believing, hey, it's the Rapture. God took them and he says, oh, no, no, no. I have a list of all the people who disappeared locally and some of them are really bad people. So this wasn't the Rapture and this wasn't, these were bad people being taken. Yeah, there you go. The first season was pretty, was, was actually pretty interesting. I mean from, again, just from an entertainment point of view. I wouldn't, you know, take it as any type of religious commentary because I'm pretty, you know, it's Hollywood. They're not going to do anything.
David Lee Corbo
Sure, yeah.
Ed Mabry
Christian. But from an entertainment standpoint, it was, it was a really well written show. The first, the first season and then they had two more and the second season was, I didn't think was very good. I didn't watch the third one, but yeah, so it was the idea that the people who disappeared weren't good people, they were bad people. You know what's fascinating, left behind were the good people.
David Lee Corbo
Even if they were to accept like. So, you know, you're saying that these, the people within, you know, these occult corners would believe that the ones who disappeared were the ones that weren't ready to ascend. If they ever did associate that with like. Yeah, it was Christians. Like their, their dogma was restricting them too much.
Ed Mabry
Scientific. Yeah, go ahead.
David Lee Corbo
I'm sorry, yes, no, but that exactly right. The non scientific, those whose dogma was too restrictive, they couldn't break out of their religious bindings and therefore, you know, they were whisked away in some sort.
Top Lobster
Dude, we just built like, look at this. This is a nice studio.
David Lee Corbo
Well, no, because we're not gonna go, no, we're not gonna go anywhere. It's just gonna get really.
Top Lobster
We're done.
David Lee Corbo
Well, remember, I'm gonna, we're gonna elect to stay behind. It's gonna get really hard for the, the Christians that like, you know, weren't all the way there do believe what happened then become on fire for the Lord and realize like, oh my God, it was true. The ones who don't believe what the mainstream is saying, it's gonna become really hard for them. They would be persecuted. Right. Because if you, if you had, if you showed any semblance of the same beliefs as the people who were too dense to get with the program and got removed from the planet. If you go around, you know, espousing belief in Christianity after that is, it's gonna be rough.
Ed Mabry
It is. Well, and the Bible's pretty explicit about that, that you're going, you Christians will be persecuted, but there's still going to be a ton of people saved. Because when we see at the midpoint of the tribulation that there are going to be people who are, who will appear in heaven at the midpoint appearing either raptured or they're killed and it says it's a And John calls it a number that no man can number. I mean, that's not literal, obviously, unless it's infinity people, which is, you know, know not happening. It's just a lot of people. I think it's maybe millions that I couldn't number them. So that means a lot of people are going to get saved after the Rapture. They're going to be witnessed to, and they're going to say, wait, all that stuff I was hearing from, you know, my family members and the church and whatever, that was true. I'm gonna. So a lot of people are gonna. Are going to become believers and this. And they're going to have a pretty rough time during that period, during the tribulation period, because again, most people, if. If this whole thing is. Is true about what the New Agers say, that the people who were. Who were, like you said, too dense. I mean, literally, they were at too low the density, and they were just holding everyone back, and now they're out of the way. Now everyone can ascend again. This. All this New Age Speak Week. Now you can ascend and be an ascended master. Now that the people who are dragging the world down are out of the way, we can all increase our spiritual vibration, blah, blah, blah, that sort of thing.
David Lee Corbo
So, yeah, it's crazy, because if that's what's at stake is the ascension of mankind, and you look, even for a moment, like you're gonna hold that back.
Top Lobster
Oh, another shameless plug. It makes his shirt hit harder. Y' all tripping, yo.
David Lee Corbo
Y' all tripping.
Top Lobster
Goes to a good cause. It feeds the children.
David Lee Corbo
Oh, my God.
Ed Mabry
And Marzulli said that. So Marzuli is in his. He's in his 70s. He said it was 45 years, so, yeah, he was in his 20s. So we're talking, you know, almost 50 years ago when he was a New Ager. He heard it then, so they. They knew. They know.
David Lee Corbo
They've been saying this.
Ed Mabry
Yeah.
Top Lobster
Hey, Ed, if we got. If we somehow got Marzulli back on, would you. Would you sit in on that episode with us?
Ed Mabry
I would love to.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah. We should. We should get Marzulli back on because it's. It's been a while.
Top Lobster
It's been a while. I think he's forgotten that I said. I called. You said the King of. I said a bad word.
David Lee Corbo
You said a bad word. He wasn't pleased with it.
Ed Mabry
Yeah.
David Lee Corbo
And we're cleaning up this show as a Christian show. It's a Christian show, man. Okay, go ahead, Go ahead.
Ed Mabry
No, I was going to Say that those are a lot of reasons. I mean there are just a ton of reasons the 2025 could be significant. But what I wanted, I don't want to throw cold water on this, but I also want to have some discernment and talk about some reasons why you should, you know, keep a critical eye on, on these things despite everything we just said, in spite of all the things that seem to be lining up for it. And because what, here's the thing that I want. The reason I did my, my Q A video and the reason I'm doing this on this show is I wouldn't say first of all, it may happen. Maybe we will all will be raptured on, on the 22nd or 23rd. And again there's compelling reason to believe so. But if we aren't, what I don't want is for people to be disappointed and turn away and start and stop being watchful. And the reason is that there is serious date setting fatigue because people date setting over and over again, not just recently. You can go back time immemorial and I give examples of some of some of these things that have happened up to 2,000 years ago. Jehovah's Witnesses and people thought before the Civil War was going to be the end and the World War I and World War II. We look recently, you know, Harold camping back.
David Lee Corbo
Harold camping is my favorite 20 years ago.
Ed Mabry
Put all these billboards near where I live, you know, up in Northern California. That's where his church, I think his church was in Oakland. He or that or the East Bay saying that Jesus was returning in 2011 because of all these calculations and these crazy time charts he had and these mathematics and looking at moons and phases and feast days and all this kind of thing. And he was, was determined and he was determined to let people know and convince everyone or convincing all of his people that it was going to happen. Of course it comes and goes. Doesn't happen. Instead of doing what he should have done, which would say, you know, I guess I was wrong, he just kind of kicked the can down the road another year. He said, you know, I forgot to carry the two and move the decimal place. It's happening the next year still didn't happen. Then nothing. Then you had the, the. Then you had a what? Rabbi Jonathan Khan, who talked about the harbinger and made a lot of money with his books. The harbinger and the Shemitahs and all this kind of stuff, talking about, you know, these blood moons and dads and eclipses crisscrossing the the United States and all these books sure made him a nice chunk of money. But again nothing happened. And instead of saying I was wrong, he said oh I'm just gonna sell some more books. Good for you. Make make your paper Boo boo. But you know, nothing happened. And then you had the Revelation the so called Revelation 12 sign in in in 2017 where they had you know, Revelation 12. The John has a vision of a woman clothed in the sun with the moon under her feet, a crown of stars above her head and she's pregnant, about to give birth. This as we talked about during the Revelation series, this is a symbol of Israel as a woman. That's very very clear from the book of Genesis that the the. The 12 stars of the 12 tribes, the the the sun and the moon were were Jacob who was who's called Israel his name was Angel Israel and his wife and can Jake his wife Rachel and and Jacob himself says because Joseph tells me about this dream where he saw this this vision and he in this vision, this woman, this all these things, the sun, the moon and stars bowed down to Joseph. And Joseph says and Jacob said are you saying that your me, your mother and and your 12 brothers are going to bout are your 11 brothers are going to bow down to you? So he knew that it meant his family. So this is Israel pregnant because Jesus you know, came through the line of David. He was an Israelite. And so this is basically a symbol of the nation of Israel and Jesus being born. But then there was this apparently this constantly sign in the heaven where you have the the constellation Virgo which it does represent a woman and she in the, and the sun was in Virgo at in September of 2027. The moon was kind of at the bottom of the constellation and above her were like 12 stars. And they said well this is it, this this and and and and and the planet Jupiter which is called the King Planet was had a retrograde orbit that stayed in the middle of this constellation Virgo for about nine months, the same time as the gestation of a human child. So he said well this is it. The king planet is is Jupiter. Jesus is the king gets 12 stars and and is passing through her for it's just in her womb for nine months. This must be the return of Jesus. Well obviously nothing happened but if you look at was kind of haphazard. First of all the Bible says nothing about this being a constellation. It was a symbol. Secondly those crown that's 12 stars. They weren't all stars. There were some stars and some Planets, which are different things, and they weren't in a crown. They were kind of scattered all over the top of the, the, the constellation. So I think it was people, in my opinion, people reading a lot into this because again, 2027, nothing happens. Then they said, instead of admitting they're wrong, they said, okay, what's this? This was just a warning. So it was a seven year warning. So then last year, seven years later, 2024, people were saying, the same people, well, this is it. And then.
Top Lobster
All right, you meant to say 2017, nothing happened.
Ed Mabry
2017, I'm sorry. Yeah, I, I think I did that a couple times in my, in my video, on my, my Q A. So forgive me for that. 2017 came and went. Nothing happened. So my point is that people are really getting fatigued. And so much so that I, I was reading some of the comments of some of these folks who were claiming that everything is going to happen, that Rapture is going to happen this year on the 22nd or 23rd. And this one guy said, look, if it doesn't happen this year, I'm done. I'm gonna stop being watchful because I'm just tired of being disappointed over and over again. And that's what I want to avoid. So what I'm saying is if it happens, awesome. No one will be happier than me. And I will happily go up. If we're all in heaven, I will go up to everyone who predicted it on, on the 22nd and 23rd. So you know what? You guys were right. Good for you. Let's go to the party. But if it doesn't happen, I don't want people to be disappointed and think that God let them down. God didn't let you down. You were let down by these nerds with their, with their crazy calendars and, and, and heptads and blood moons and crazy charts and all this kind of stuff. They keep making these predictions over and over again are always wrong. Okay, let's look at a few reasons to cast a critical eye on this. First of all, the Essenes.
Top Lobster
Well, one thing like what, what you're saying that's really important is what you taught us before about being watchful. Like if the bride is not watchful for when the husband arrives, she's going to miss it.
Ed Mabry
And. Right.
Top Lobster
It seems like, like, yeah, the Rapture. I don't know. I mean, I guess people will see it, but it seems like you have to look for it because maybe it won't be as obvious or maybe you'll miss something when it, it Maybe there's a thing you have to do when it happens, you know, like if you're not watching, you could.
Ed Mabry
I don't know. Being watchful means being acknowledge that it's going to happen and be ready. It doesn't mean, like you're standing in front of, you know, standing outside your house every day looking up. No, what it means is the bride has to be in a state of readiness and expectation, not that you're actually doing something. It goes with the Jewish wedding model. So just briefly, what would happen in the ancient Jewish wedding model is like Israelite wedding model, is that the groom would find an acceptable bride. He would ask her to marry him. If she said yes, then they would separate. He would go to his father's house and build on an addition. Because that's how they did. Everyone stayed in the same family home. And he would build. And he would start building an addition to this home for him and his bride. In the meantime, the bride was going to be making herself ready to be an acceptable wife. She's going to be sanctifying herself, setting herself apart, learning everything about the groom and his family and the family business and all that kind of stuff. So she can be helpful. There's there. And she will be learning that from other women who were already married, teaching her. And she didn't know when the groom was going to finish the house. She had no idea when she was going to finish that room. And because it was up to the father, the father wouldn't. When he. When the son was done building that addition, the father would go and inspect it. And if he didn't like it, he said, you got to do some more work. But if he did like it, he'd say, okay, this is an acceptable addition to my home. Go get your bride. Bride never knew this was going to happen. And traditionally, the groom would surprise the bride. He would usually come at midnight with his groomsmen, with his entourage, and they would blow a trumpet. And the bride had to immediately come out. She had to be ready. Now, if she wasn't ready, then technically the groom could call off the wedding. Because he could say, you're not an acceptable bride. You have not. You're not ready to go. He can either call it off or he could delay it. It's okay. Say, I still want to be with you, but you're not ready. I'm gonna leave again, and I'll come back a little later. But again, he had. He had the legal right to say, the wedding's off because your job was to be Sanctifying yourself and being ready and, and being in expectation of me. And you're not expecting me, you're not ready to go. So either it's off or we're gonna do this later. So that's why the watchfulness is important.
Top Lobster
You got to keep your legs shaved, ladies.
Ed Mabry
Nancy, keep your legs at all times.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah, she's been talking a lot about letting him grow out. I said no, no, no, no, no.
Top Lobster
No, Nancy, not on this show.
David Lee Corbo
Don't do that.
Ed Mabry
You. And the worst thing is then you get your, you know, you try to cuddle with her and you scrapes your leg. It's horrible.
David Lee Corbo
Ah, the screaming. So, all right, continue. Yeah please.
Ed Mabry
Okay, so just a few reads. So that's why it's important to watch one. That's why I really want people to be on guard and not get so disappointed that they're like, you know what, I'm done. What? Watching for the Rapture. I'm just gonna, you know, go off, do my thing. No, remain watchful. So. So a few reasons to cast a critical eye on all these things. Number one, the Essenes, they were faithful people, but they weren't perfect. And, and a lot of their stuff was tradition. It wasn't from the Bible. The Bible doesn't say there's going to be these 2000 year epochs. That was part of their tradition. Now maybe that tradition is true, maybe they got some knowledge from elsewhere, but, but it's not in the Bible. The Bible doesn't say that we're going to have only 7,000 years of history. That really comes from traditions of men especially. The tradition of a thousand years is as a day and days as a thousand years. Unfortunately, I think that is one of the most misunderstood or misquoted verses as, as it has to do with eschatology because it's read out of context. They get it from the book of second Peter when Peter is talking about scoffers who are start basically making fun of Christians and believers and they come and they say, hey, where's the. You keep promising this kingdom. You keep promising Jesus is going to return, but it's been a long time and he hasn't come back. Haha, you know, Christians are fools. But Peter says, look, God is not slack or he's not. He's not slack as men count slackness, but to him. But he is, you know, he's long suffering. He wants to make sure that he has his timing. Basically what Peter is saying is that, that God doesn't see time the way we do and he says, no, today is like a thousand years to God. A thousand years is like a day. In context, Peter isn't saying, hey, a thou. God sees a day as exactly a thousand years, and he sees a thousand years as exactly 24 hours. No, he's. He's giving an analogy. He's basically saying what looks like a long time to you may be a short time to God, and what may be a long time to God may be a short time in your eyes. God's not. God doesn't see time the way we do. That's what he's saying here. He's not saying this is a hard and fast way that God designates time. But people just take that in that single verse and run with it without looking at the context in which people are speaking. They also mentioned a passage in the Book of Psalms where it says that, you know, to. To God, a thousand years is like yesterday. Well, that's poetry. The Book of Psalms is poetry. That's not necessarily to be taken literally, but people take that and say, well, a day is a thousand years, and a thousand years is as a day, and God created the world in seven days, which means the earth is going to continue for seven days. That is not biblical. That is just a tradition of man that's unfortunately been equated with. With the Bible. And it's not there. That doesn't mean that these scenes are wrong, but what it means is you shouldn't put all your faith in it. Right. Another thing, Matthew 24, where he says that, you know, no man knows the day of the hour, Feast of Trumpets. But here's the critical thing that no one, very few people take into account, including all the people I mentioned, like, you know, Tommy Ice and Chuck Missler and Robert Breaker and all those who say who created to the rapture. In Matthew 24, Jesus isn't talking about the Rapture. Jesus is talking about his second coming. The Olivet discourse is Jesus answering two questions from his disciples. His disciples asked him, when will the temple? When will these things be? When will the temple be destroyed? And what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of age? They're as they asked Jesus about his second coming. They didn't ask him about the rapture of the Church because the church didn't exist yet and they knew nothing about the Rapture. Paul didn't reveal the Rapture until the Book of Corinthians about 20 years later. So why would Jesus talk about the Rapture here? If we go, thank you for bringing it up Because I want to read. It's go to verse 36. And this is what's important when you read. Don't just read a Bible verse. Read the whole passage to get the context. Okay. But of that day and hour knows no man, know nothing angels of heaven, but my Father only. Keep reading. But as the days of no Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. Jesus is not talking about the Rapture, he's talking about his second coming. He's equating the two. No one knows the day or the hour. But so, but as the days of, as it was in the days of Noah social, it also be the coming of the Son of man. He's talking about his second coming. So what Jesus is really saying, if we want to make that the Feast of Trumpets, he's probably saying he's going to return on the Feast of Trumpets, for at the, at the end of the tribulation, he's not talking about the Rapture. So equating this passage to the Rapture is not, is, is not biblical. Jesus is not talking about the Rapture. Now that said, Paul is talking about the Rapture when he says the last trumpet. So it's what's kind of semantics with Matthew 24. Because Paul said, you know, equates it to the last trump, which is the Feast of Trumpets. So it could be that the rapture of and the second coming both occur on the Feast of Trumpets. But you can't use the passage from Matthew 24 to equate it to the rapture of the church because Jesus isn't talking about the rapture of the church. He's not mentioning it at all. It would make no sense for Jesus to answer a question with and talk about something that the disciples didn't even know about at that time.
David Lee Corbo
It's interesting that the disciples are mentioning the, the end of an age too, where it's like a lot of people, and I'm not saying that you should look to a cultist for any of your information, but. But a lot of people will get upset about that concept of like the age of Aquarius or something like that. And it's like, you know, number one, this is an astrological sign, and number two, even in the Bible, it talks about, you know, there we go, Jesus's second coming taking place at the end of an age. And yeah, you know, it just kind of puts another little kind of bolstering effect to that idea that, you know, 2025, just given the, the Blavatsky things that we talked about before the age of Aquarius or the Golden Age. That language is just being tossed around a lot. And I don't know, it's. It's really when you zoom out and look at the body of things, you know, that. That are piling up everywhere around you from whatever angle you look at these. These people that are into the. The sort of the Vedic pantheon. Talk about the Kali Yuga. We've brought that up several times. And this idea that the Kali Yuga, when it comes to an end, would end by fire, which is kind of what we were promised anyway. It's. It. There's a lot of overlapping themes in a really huge way, and everybody has a little bit of information that they bring to the table. It's just. What I like to say on this show is that Christianity has the proper lens, especially when it comes to the nature of what we're dealing with.
Ed Mabry
Right.
David Lee Corbo
And.
Top Lobster
And also to contribute to what you were talking about with the Thousand Years Ed, that there's testimony after testimony, story after story, about people who are either using psychedelics, different kinds of drugs, or sometimes just like, I don't know, remote viewing, sometimes they just get wrapped up in another dimension or something, I guess.
David Lee Corbo
That vision, right. Would that be like a vision?
Top Lobster
Yeah. Where they. They'll tell you that time is not time. It's either standing still or I've been here for a hundred years, but it's like it has been 15 minutes or a century. They can't tell. And they are in this whatever, you know, maybe a second heaven, third. Who knows where they're at? But time is dilated. It's different than it is here on this realm. So for God at the top of the crest here, who knows?
David Lee Corbo
And it also suggests that not just for God, but for the other Elohim.
Top Lobster
Yeah, they're out like. Like they're kind of outside of this idea of time.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah. Jin brings up near death experiences. That's a really big one. Where people will, you know, die in whatever stretch set of circumstances and wherever they go, time is not a fact.
Top Lobster
No, they've been there for a long time, but it's been seven minutes or something.
David Lee Corbo
So it's, it's, you know, once again, it's just people's experiences, although looked at through like the supernatural and, and a lot of woo woo people will grab on to that. That confirms everything that the Bible's saying.
Ed Mabry
Yeah. And keep in mind that, that a lot of these people who are seeing these visions and, and I think that when you, when you get in some of those altered states, you're much more susceptible to hearing from spiritual entities. And these entities, they know the Bible, they know their faith, they know that it's going to end with fire. So they can tell you something that is true.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah.
Ed Mabry
And so. But again, the best lies sandwiched between two truths. Exactly. A couple of truths. And then throw a lie in there and you believe the whole thing.
David Lee Corbo
So if I tell you like, oh yeah, the end of the age is going to come by fire. And I tell you, but it's going to come by my hands, right. Like, oh, okay, there you go. Or if I tell you that this is how things were created in the beginning and then I go, and I know that because I did it. Well, then you know that's. Yeah. Very true about the way that things are created. Very true about the way things are going to end. Very true about cycles and, and the nature of reality. But then, you know, because I did it, that's where. Or because we did it or it's like that's where the deviation comes.
Ed Mabry
I mean, when they, they know that a rapture is going to happen, they know people are going to disappear. But they already have. Well, it's not, not. Those are the bad people, like we talked about before, and we're, you know, we're taking them out in order so that you can ascend and damage control. Yeah, exactly. And, and when you go Back to the 2000 year thing with the Essenes, well, there weren't exactly 2000 years between Adam and Abraham. There was roughly 2000 years of. Not exactly. Same thing with Abraham to Jesus there, there was not exactly 2000 years. And God is exacting his prophecies. So again, we, we should take, we should be on the lookout, and I think we should all be on the lookout for what's going to happen in the rest of this year. September, October and November. But if things don't happen the way we think they are, like I said, I don't want people to lose faith and think that God let you down. God didn't let you down, man did. By setting dates, which I think is very dangerous. And, and it could be. Again, I'm not saying that the rapture is not going to happen. I'm just saying if it doesn't, don't be, don't be disappointed. Keep on trucking, keep on doing what you're supposed to be doing. And I think that's just, that's really the whole reason for this. Because I don't want people to lose faith and lose Hope, because this is just the umpteenth time they were promised on this date. We're going home and like, oh, okay, now we gotta go back to work and go back to paying our taxes and dealing with our politicians and our wars and, and all the, all the bad things that are going on right now. And it, it sucks. I mean, I'd love for this to be over. I'd love to go to heaven tomorrow, but, you know, and it's going to be disappointing if I have to just keep drudging through the day, but that are through our lives. But that's, I, I, that's just what, that's the way things are right now. And we just have to, you know, continue doing what we're doing until that time of the end, whenever it happens.
David Lee Corbo
I, I went through something very similar to that when I was younger, where I always say that there is this psychological phenomena that, that takes place. It's not a really profound one. You understand why it takes place. But when people first wake up to the idea that the paradigm that they're given or the official story that they're given isn't really what's happening, you go through sort of an alarmist state. And that alarmist state causes you to, you're untethered from what was your foundational truth. And you're kind of lost in the, in the chaos. And, and you know, because of that, I liken it to being tossed off a ship. You start just grabbing on to things. Anything that floats, you grab onto. And so if this looks like it floats, if it looks like the truth, you grab onto it. That leads you to a bunch of these different things, like, like the New age movement of Gnosticism and yada, yada, yada, or like atheism or what have you. You know, if it looks solid and it looks like I'm not going to drown, I'm gonna grab onto it. And if you don't grab onto atheism and you grab on to like, let's say like I did, like, just conspiracy, like raw conspiracy. Like, I need to know what the truth is. That alarmist nature kicks in and you start telling everybody that, you know, this thing has happened and that thing is happening. Wait till it, there's a date, it's coming, this thing is, there's a meteor coming, whatever it is.
Ed Mabry
Yeah.
David Lee Corbo
Because there's no shortage, like you said, Ed, of people setting dates. And there's always going to be something you can point to. Harold Camping was also on the east coast where I lived in New Jersey. I remember seeing his. His billboards by my favorite mall that I attended often. And. And so, you know, there was always this thing to grab onto. And that does cause fatigue because it's not just that you have this anticipatory energy in you that you're waiting for this thing to happen and that it doesn't happen. Right. That's. That's hard enough. But you also look like a psychopath to your friends and family who you've been telling that they're gonna put us all in, you know, plastic coffins and bury us after martial law is kicked off. You know, all these things keep happening, and then they don't come to pass. And so I also finally, like, I don't know, maybe if I started this when I was like, 16, by 20, 21, 22, I was, like, done for a while.
Ed Mabry
Yep.
David Lee Corbo
And I said, let me leave it all alone. And then I went ahead and I met my wife and I started a family. And then it's almost like, thank God that the lockdowns and everything happened because I was already getting back into the swing of things. But when the lockdowns happened, it was like, all the alarms are set again. Now I've obviously found a healthy outlet, you know, where.
Ed Mabry
Where.
David Lee Corbo
Well, I don't know. I don't have to see the faces of the people that are disappointed with me when I tell them that this thing is coming or that thing is coming. But there is. There's a way to do it without this. This. I mean, it's a fear over faith decision. Again, are you going to be afraid of these things? Are you going to freak out over them? Are you going to go back? Yeah, dude. Or are you gonna have faith? Because as far as I'm concerned, one thing after another after another shows you God is real. And if God is real, then God has a plan. And if God has a plan, then surely you're in it. Right? And so what is there to be afraid of?
Ed Mabry
Right? Exactly. One of the other things that is concerning, not just about, you know, Christians being disappointed and, you know, just getting fatigued, but also people who are kind of on the cusp, who aren't really sure, but then they. But then something happens as predict, and they see, they watch these people's YouTube channels and they see their social media and it doesn't happen. And then the scoffers like Paul talked about come along and say, see, these Christians, they keep thinking that Jesus is coming back. Jesus is never coming back. And I go, well, God, maybe he isn't Because Christians keep being wrong about this. So maybe Christianity is not right for me. I'm going to go someplace else. So that's another right. Danger. And again, I. I want to be clear, be on the watch for the 22nd. I. I already talked. I thought about this. I've talked to my wife about it. I'm like, you know what? I think on the 21st or the 20th, actually, let's. I'm gonna open up one of my best bottles of wine and have a drink up, all right? Because if, If I go, if I get caught up in the rapture and I have to leave some good wine behind, I'm gonna be pissed. Like, ah, drink one of them. So at least I won't have any regrets.
David Lee Corbo
I. I wonder if. If it's as simple as. While, you know, when that date comes, if you do hear something that sounds, you know, very much like a trumpet, maybe, like, go outside, you know, maybe go outside. You know, just go outside and. And just be ready. Like, I'm gonna. Are we gonna. Is it time to go? And when your wife and your kid go, what's going on? You go, shut up. Just be ready, right? And then just stand there on the sidewalk just ready to move if you. If you gotta move. I don't.
Ed Mabry
I mean, hold your kids hands so you don't get lost when you get to heaven, you know, it's like an amusement park. You never know. You know, you lose track of your kids. You turn around, the kids are gone. Like, dang it, now I gotta find you. You probably get out of here.
David Lee Corbo
Those tags that you put on, like your luggage, just put one on your wrist. It's like, that one's with me. He's with me. Yeah, Yeah. I don't know. It's interesting, man. Like I said, we've laid out a lot of things here on this episode that at the very least, you know, Ed's right. Don't get all wrapped up in it. Because if you get all wrapped up in it, then. But it's like there's a difference between getting wrapped up in this anticipatory anxiety and this energy around it and also thinking that this is the end. All being. Be all. There's a difference between that and just being ready.
Top Lobster
Well, Ed, what do you think about Raven's eschatology of.
Ed Mabry
He thinks.
Top Lobster
He thinks he could choose to stay.
David Lee Corbo
Oh, yeah, that's.
Ed Mabry
Yeah. I mean, I know you mentioned that. You said. I think you said you had a dream that you were gonna. I. I truly don't know because here's the thing about the Bible. A lot of people say that, you know, if something is not explicitly in the Bible, then it's not true. And I look at it from more of a doctrinal standpoint. I think the Bible has all the doctrine that is true. That doesn't mean that everything, that there's nothing outside of the Bible that could also be true because we don't know how, how God deals with certain things and certain people. I mean the Bible is really focused on 90 of it is focused on this little narrow strip of land in the Middle east, you know, called Israel. That doesn't mean that God was not doing anything else any other place in the world. But the Bible, what is his is, is Jehovah's story to us to help us know who he is and what his plans are. And he revealed that plan through this nation. The descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who, who wrote most of the Bible. I mean saved, I mean two books were, were not written by Israelites. So that was just his conduit to tell that story. And so you would know his nature. So does that mean that God didn't tell you that, you know, that you might be left behind intentionally or you choose that you can choose to be left behind? I, I don't know for sure because obviously there are going to be some, some people who are going to be on the earth after the first rapture and, and people are going to be saved after the first rapture. And I don't know all the mechanisms of that. God isn't extremely specific. He does say that the 144, 000 witnesses are going to be witnessing. But does that mean that no one else is going to be witnessing, that God won't call other people to do so? I don't know. I truly don't. What I do know is that a lot of people are going to be saved after the rapture and during the tribulation. And I know one of the Mechanisms will be 144, 000 are that's going to be enough people to say the millions that are apparently going to be tribulation saints as they're called. I don't know for sure. He didn't give us all the mechanics for two reasons. Number one, because it may not be our business. And number two, I think that a lot of things are vague intentionally so that the evil, spiritual evil, they don't know all the mechanics. I think we've talked about before that the prophecies of Jesus's first coming and his death were kind of veiled in the Old Testament so that the fallen angels would, wouldn't know that he had to die. I don't think they knew. If you look at the, the temptations of Jesus, which actually we're going to talk about in our Bible study this week, I mean, yeah, this Sunday we're talking about the, the Bible study for August and September is going to be focused on the time of Jesus and the temptations of Jesus when, when, when Satan tempted him, he asked him to throw yourself off the building or, and the angels will gather you up. Michael Heiser, who was one of my, another one of my long distance mentors, his theory is that, that Satan didn't know whether or not Jesus could die. And so he said, well, throw yourself off the building if you're the son of God, let's see what happens. And Jesus refused. So Satan said, oh, oh, you didn't do it. Okay, that means this guy can die, we can just kill him. But if they knew that killing Jesus would fall into, would be the ultimate victory, they never would have killed him. They would say, keep this guy alive, hands off, he's a made man, do not kill him because when he dies that's going to screw up our plans. They didn't know, even though you can look in the Old Testament and see, you know, in retrospect, that he had to suffer and die. But it was, but it was kind of veiled because even his disciples didn't think he was going to die. When Jesus told them blatantly, hey, I got to go to Jerusalem and be killed, Peter was like, no, not you. And he rebuked him and he said, peter, get behind me, Satan. Because you know, you're, you're a stumbling block. So there's, you know, when Jesus was being, was, was dying, his disciples abandoned him. They were like, this is not, this isn't what we expected. We thought you were going to bring in the kingdom and make us all kings and priests with you and you got killed. Well, we're done. And they didn't believe it until they saw his resurrected body. Then they finally understood. So it was veiled from them. So my point is that God can say, can say things and keep it a little bit bail so that we don't know all the mechanics behind so that the fallen angels can't throw a wrench into the, it's, it's counterintelligence. So I think that's something in mind.
David Lee Corbo
Information warfare, right? I mean that's, that's what it is at the end of the day, you can't let you know the enemy, know all your plans, and maybe letting them know some and, and not others would have them play right into your hands.
Ed Mabry
Are saying the what and not the how. We know what's going to happen, but we don't have all the details right. So what we have to. So what we can count on is we know that there will be a rapture. We know there will be a tribulation. We know that there will be a worldwide leader called the Antichrist or the Beast Beast. And we know that he's going to, you know, widely do some things like, you know, the mark of the Beast is a huge one. Everyone's wondering, how is it going to be implemented? Is it going to be a barcode? Is it going to be a chip? You know, when I was growing up, before we had, when I was a kid, you know, before we had all the technology we have now, we. The, the. There was a movie out that I saw when I was a kid about the tribulation, where it was a tattoo because that's all they knew. So we know.
David Lee Corbo
Oh, oh, yeah. The mark of the Beast being a tattoo. Yeah, there was like, they used to be like, it's gonna be a barcode.
Top Lobster
Yeah, yeah. You could scan the barcode.
Ed Mabry
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. My grandmother would tell me, never get a tattoo because you could be taking the mark of the Beast. Well, I'm pretty sure it's not just a tattoo, but they didn't know all they knew. They knew the what, they didn't know the how.
David Lee Corbo
As people are speculating right now that Donald Trump got the mark because he's got a bruise on the top of his hand, but also he's 80 and they tend to bruise pretty badly. Yeah, they bruise easily. So, you know, like, they're like a ripe peach.
Ed Mabry
They just bruise easily.
David Lee Corbo
It's. Yeah, nothing but a strong breeze will leave a bruise like that. So I don't know. I, you know, if I, I appreciate the, the community schizo speculation. I'm a big fan of that sort of behavior. But I, you know, I don't think that that's what we're looking at here.
Ed Mabry
But I do know one of the comments that just came through that said, like, you know, I'll be disappointed if I'm not raptured because I have to keep teaching retards. I love teaching the retards. So I would not be disappointed to continue doing well.
David Lee Corbo
That's my thing is, is like if, if, if, if there was you know, an option. I would opt to stay behind because it's like, I almost feel goofy. Like, I've spent my whole life looking for, you know, the truth, and then it took me a really long time to, To. To almost concede and be like, okay, yeah, Christianity is. Is where it's at and Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. And that, in the grand scheme of my research has been a very small amount of time. And so if it were to happen, like, you know, November, I'd be like, I feel like my work only just began. And, and, and so what about all these people that would be left behind who are then like, oh, man, this was real. Yeah, I would. I would choose to stay as long as I knew, like, my wife and my son were fine. Like, take them, you know, and then if that's the case, like, I would choose. I would choose to stay. But you know, who. Who knows if that's even a choice?
Ed Mabry
Honestly, if it's that strongly on your heart, maybe it is. I. I truly don't know. Like, I said that again. I know the. What. I. I don't know all the how.
Top Lobster
It's weird too. It's like, for me, it's very similar, but not for the reasons. Not for the reasons. Like, I'm gonna stay and help. Like, I'm like, I just, like, I mean, David sees it now because he sees, like, before we start every show. I really thrive in the.
David Lee Corbo
It's true.
Top Lobster
In the chaos.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah. Yeah.
Top Lobster
Like, I like it. I think I create it in a way to create. I don't know why.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah.
Top Lobster
The last minute stuff or so I'm.
Ed Mabry
Like, I would tell you.
Top Lobster
Yeah.
Ed Mabry
If. If you're. If you are here after, after the rap traffic or aliens coming down, I would love to read your. Your Twitter feed. Oh, my.
Top Lobster
Honestly, that alone, I stopped tweeting as much too, because I'm just like. I don't know, it just seems. Whatever.
David Lee Corbo
It's like you'd have some bangers if they were bringing down, like, fake demons and calling them aliens. And what if they had their own accounts on Twitter?
Top Lobster
I've realized maybe it's a maturity or maybe it's a. We'll find out.
David Lee Corbo
It's a fear of God.
Top Lobster
Well, maybe it's just a misstep, but haven't been tweeting as much. Just don't feel like it. I've been like, just. I'm like, I'm going to apply myself to doing more of the things that, like, for this show, we can grow this Christian show. This Christian show. How can we grow this show? The tiny little things instead of like saying something to whatever to make people laugh or be sad.
David Lee Corbo
You'd have to stay behind too, because I. I imagine given the nature of the world that we live in a thing. A cataclysmic catastrophic event could take place and people would still have to go to work. You know, Amazon's not going to deliver itself. And so since that would be the case, people would still be making content and you know, the T shirts, who's gonna. Who's gonna run half of the show that the, that all the stuff that happens here. You. It would be that the show would have to end because I would have. I wouldn't have the intellectual aptitude to keep it going.
Top Lobster
Who will design the T shirts?
Ed Mabry
Yeah, that's it. So I'll just say this as my epilogue. I 2025 does seem. Something seems to be up with this year. I don't know exactly what's gonna happen. I don't think anyone does. But I think the second half this year is going to just continue to be crazy. And if it, if, if nothing huge happens on the 22nd and 23rd, I would just say this. Stay watchful because things are just happening exponentially fast. Not just because, you know, everyone believed that you're in the End Times. My parents, my grandparents, their grandparents believed all that kind of stuff. But it's not just that things happening, it's the exponential speed in which they're happening that, That I don't think I'm going to make it to the. If I stay healthy to the end of my natural life. Because not to sound like Ray Kurzweil, but at some point we have to enter a singularity. Things are happening so fast. You're going to get to the point where they're just. They're happening so fast that something dramatic. Either everything is going to end or, Or I don't know. I mean, because at this rate there. We're going to reach an inflection point soon.
David Lee Corbo
Something is coming. I mean, they're trying to. Like I said, they're trying to get you to. I was to goon to Annie.
Top Lobster
I was, I was thinking with the last Mass s word. I'm not even.
David Lee Corbo
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That just happened.
Top Lobster
The misinformation or the propaganda that was surrounding it that this transgender person was espoused.
Ed Mabry
Oh, yeah.
Top Lobster
They were writing all over. Their weaponry was a scattershot.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah.
Top Lobster
Of nonsense.
David Lee Corbo
I made a tweet. I said a little something for Everyone.
Top Lobster
A little something for everyone. They sprinkled it everywhere. And it's like. Whereas before, it was, like, very focused. It's either this person is clearly left wing, this person is clearly right wing. They have an agenda. Here's the manifesto. This was everything. It was a smorgasbord of, what do you, like, what are you mad at today? And I'm just like. I'm looking at the psyops and I'm like, the psyops don't care anymore. We're just cover. We're blanket covering everything. It almost feels like we're like, all right, we're moving into whatever. Whatever comes next for sure.
David Lee Corbo
Maybe there's something to making because some select people will see that. And we go, what even is that?
Top Lobster
Yeah, they're like Donald Trump, but he was also right wing. But he was left wing.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah.
Top Lobster
He was also espousing this gender theory.
David Lee Corbo
Also, like, kind of funny a little bit. But then there's like, people that'll look at that and be like, he's just like, me. For real.
Top Lobster
Yeah.
David Lee Corbo
And like that. I wonder what that person's like.
Top Lobster
That's what I mean. It's like. It's like a wide net. It just looks like a wide net.
Ed Mabry
Like, throw the religious aspects. You know, the kids were at a church or Catholic school or something like that. So just everything, like, everything you don't like. Like, whether you don't like conservatives or liberals or religious people or non religious people or men or transgender men or whatever. Yeah, there was something for everyone there. Yes.
Top Lobster
Well, that. That's the only consistent theme in that. So, like, all the. All the political stuff and the social stuff was just all over the board. But it was aimed at Christianity. Yeah, it was a direct shot. Like, so all that.
David Lee Corbo
The.
Top Lobster
The stuff that we call theater all over the place, that had no coherent sense, which sometimes it does.
David Lee Corbo
Adriano, optimistic bear here says, Bro had the 6 mil not enough, and then went to kill Christians.
Top Lobster
It's like, yeah, so it was just. It was all nonsense. But then the target practice had a picture of Jesus Christ. The actual physical ramifications were in a. In a church. So again, the. The message consistent. Well, the message scattered, but, like, the outcome consistent of what they're aimed at.
David Lee Corbo
They're not Islam. Yeah.
Top Lobster
They're not aimed at Judais. They're not aimed at Buddhism. It's the same thing every single time. But the. The stuff surrounding is just like, what is this? Like, it just seems like a blanket. They're like, we don't care anymore. It's everything but just.
Ed Mabry
It just appears that the, the powers that be, the evil power, they're preparing for something. Whether it's the deep underground bases we were talking about a few minutes ago, Raven, or they. There was a. I think, I don't know if it was Sam Tripley who said this on a show a couple, a couple of his shows ago. He was a comedian. I think he said it was Tiffany Haddish. She had a, she did a set up somewhere and she, you know, she was doing well on the set, but she ended it by saying, you know, all my billionaire friends keep telling me something's about to happen. And they're running off to their, their little hobbit holes that they've made in, you know, in, in like Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Because a lot of them have like these places out in the wilderness that they want to get away from it all and they're just saying something big is happening and we are, we're going to get away. And so it just feels like the power to be. No, something's coming and they are preparing for it. You look at all the financial stuff, all the. Didn't I think Trump just had a. The US Buy a bunch of shares of intel, the government, I guess Baltimore. It's just, it, it just feels like people are getting ready.
Top Lobster
Well, if you have discernment. I don't know if it's even discernment. Like as a, from my, in my old job I was a truck driver and cars have body language. This is a weird thought, but when you're driving, I could feel when the car is gonna do something stupid, like you could just feel it. It's like it's a car. It's, you know, metal and fiberglass, but it almost feels like this guy tensed up this Ford Focus, like, what the hell? And then, and then he cuts across three lanes. And I was like, how did, how did I know?
David Lee Corbo
Yeah. You ever watch somebody from far away, like, watch this, watch this, watch that guy?
Top Lobster
Yeah, I saw my wife all the time look at that guy.
Ed Mabry
And then boom.
Top Lobster
He like hits the brakes. I'm like, what an idiot. And I can't even see him. But you feel the tension of this. It's a car.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah.
Top Lobster
It's the same thing with society right now. Everyone is like, I mean, even before 2020, everyone's just embraced.
Ed Mabry
I'm glad you said that, top, because I, I will say stuff like this to my wife. Like, I feel something. And she's like, no, you don't feel anything. You Just. You just have more information now. You know, you watch. You watch too many conspiracy podcasts. You watch too much. Too much stuff. And that's. And that's why you feel this way. But it's good here. Other people, I mean, granted.
Top Lobster
Well, what information. Maybe it is information. Maybe because, you know, as a professional truck driver, also, like, you're higher up. Maybe there's tiny little cues that this thing. But it's a car, and I can't see the driver. I'm behind him, and I'm seeing. He's not even. He's not swerving. But there is a thing that is happening with this inanimate object that's driving. And I'm going. I'm like, that. That guy there.
David Lee Corbo
We were.
Top Lobster
Something about it.
David Lee Corbo
We were. Does it, you know, by the mailbox today, which is right by my pool. And there's a guy that's in the pool. I can hear him. He's talking to these old folks that are there every morning. And I've seen him before, and he's like a harmless guy. Seems like a harmless guy in the sense that he's not done anything. He's always just holding a conversation. But whatever it is, as I'm walking by the pool and I've heard him before, I just get a bad feeling about him. And. And I go to my wife, I was like, that guy. Watch out for that guy. And she goes, goes, I was here the other day, and that guy was asking some young girl who was here by herself, like, you know, do you. Do you shave or do you wax? And this chick's like, I wax. And he goes like, he's an older, weird dude, and he's like, your whole body. And she's like, yeah. Meanwhile, she's a young lady with a. With a kid who's running around, and he's asking her these questions in a public pool, you know, and it's just like, all he did was just talk to some old people, and they seem to like him, and he seemed to like them. But I was like, that guy. Watch for that guy. She's like, funny you should say, I.
Top Lobster
Think the chat saying instinct, holy spirit, discernment, vibes, all of those things. And it's also experience. It's like you're knowing. Like you're paying attention to the. To the minutia, and you're understanding tiny little things, and all that stuff adds up to whatever spiritual pilot all that stuff adds up to. Something is happening. But for sure, within our society, everybody is like, just muscles tensed. Everyone Is, is preparing for a punch to land.
David Lee Corbo
Whether you're Christian, whether you're in the tech zones, you're looking at Elon, you're looking at the economy, you're looking at some sort of occult.
Top Lobster
Even the people that are a complete, like my, my relatives that are completely asleep, there is a tension that's there with them that wasn't there in, you know, 2007. Right now, everyone is.
David Lee Corbo
I've been feeling really good.
Ed Mabry
Good.
Top Lobster
I feel fine, I think. I think, because I, I understand as like everyone else is like this. I'm gonna like, like step off the brakes for a second so I could adjust and see what's going on.
Ed Mabry
Yeah, well, me, I'm more high.
David Lee Corbo
Enjoyers are noticing.
Ed Mabry
I, I, I feel like that, that, that anticipation, but I'm just like, bring it on. Let's. Let's wrap this thing up.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah, exactly. I've been feeling like that for a really long time, though. A really long, constipated, constant. No, actually not. But, but I mean, like, like I said when I. For this, like, bring it on. And I think that's the thing that makes me feel like I would stick around in the Rapture is because I thought that I understood the true nature of the world all those years ago. This whole, like, going to the bank and working a 9 to 5 and all that other crap. That ain't it. There's something else going on. And so mentally I was, like, preparing myself for a thing that I thought was coming a lot sooner than I guess it was. And I still have this, like, old hard wiring. I'm, I'm built for a place that looks much more like that, that I'm not here for, you know, like, the luxuries and the comfort and everything. I mean, it's nice to have it, but, like, I was homeless during that time too, so I was like this crazed homeless dude who thought the end was coming. I've learned to acclimate, but, you know, I think that if it really was ever going to get there, it would feel a shame that I didn't experience it. I would be pretty adamant, like, are you sure I can't stay? Because I'd really like to. I could do some, you know, cool things, you know, while I'm here. So I'd throw my hat into the ring, that's for sure.
Ed Mabry
Yeah. So you guys told me you want to wrap up, because I don't know if we have enough time to, to start my who killed Nimrod thing. We have to say that for next week.
David Lee Corbo
I think we're gonna have to save who killed Nimrod for. For next week. Are we gonna. Are we gonna. Oh, let me see.
Ed Mabry
Check the calendar.
David Lee Corbo
I don't think I'm gonna be here next week. Are you gonna be here next week?
Top Lobster
We'll see.
David Lee Corbo
Come on, man. Can you buy that? We're supposed to go to. To Frank, quite frankly.
Ed Mabry
Who. Who?
Top Lobster
I told you, Ed, that I like to thrive in chaos.
David Lee Corbo
Oh, my God.
Top Lobster
This is it.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah, we have a thing, an event coming up that we said we were gonna be at.
Ed Mabry
Okay.
David Lee Corbo
And I've bought my tickets already. And this guy's like, oh, well.
Top Lobster
Well, I don't know. Next Friday I might be married to. Whoop my baby mama. Top Lobster, will you marry me? If not, I guess I'll settle for old Corbeau.
David Lee Corbo
Oh, what do you mean settle? That's very disrespectful. He knows what's baby mama ho ass.
Top Lobster
No, I won't marry you.
David Lee Corbo
That's crazy. Well, and I won't either, so there's no settling. Thank you very much. Yeah, I don't know if we'll be able to do this coming Friday. It'll have to be the one after that because Top and I are going to be in New York City at Quite frankly's event. By the way, if you guys haven't bought tickets to that and you're in the New York area and you want to come and maybe touch our hands. Breathe close to us. There you go. We'll be at the jamboree and also the soiree. But the jamboree is. Is for public viewing. The Suare is a VIP experience. You guys can go to Quite frankly tv and you will find the tickets there if you are a east coast enjoyer. Tri state troglodyte.
Ed Mabry
All right, we'll do it a couple weeks. I'll put something on the calendar and we'll. We'll circle back.
David Lee Corbo
Okay. All right. I'm looking forward to it very much. So before we get out of here, then, Ed, where can everybody find you?
Ed Mabry
Faith by Reason.net But I'm encouraging everyone to. I. I gotta. Gotta update this site. This shows you how much I'm not even going to my own website. I've been pouring all my energy into Patreon. But yeah, I need to. I don't even have my. My new 501C3 stuff up there, so. But also go to Patreon. That's where I am most active. Patreon.com faithbyreason join any one of the tiers that you, that you feel comfortable joining five. I'm a 501C3 now. So you can get, get possible tax deduction, talk to your tax professional and you get all the content when it drops. You get Q and A's, bonus episodes. You can join my, My Bible study and you get discount Books are free or, or free books. And all my Revelation series, it's no longer on YouTube because I'm just. YouTube was treating me badly. So the, the Revelation series is now migrating over to, to Patreon only. Good.
David Lee Corbo
If they're not treating you right, they don't get your content.
Ed Mabry
No. Yeah, they don't. I, I'm. I'm shadow banned to death. Like I said, I get more comments than I do views. I'm like, well, that's not, that doesn't make any sense.
David Lee Corbo
Well, I mean, you know, maybe they're doing. They might be doing it with their eyes closed. Have you considered that?
Ed Mabry
Possibly. I considered that, but I'm like, you know, when I see people who go on talking complete nonsense and they're getting like, you know, 20, 000 views, I'm like. And I'm getting like a fraction of that. Okay. Something's. Not that I'm the end all be all, but come on.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah, I want to take a second. I want to ask our producer, producer, Nancy, what did you think of this episode? It was fantastic.
Top Lobster
Thank you, Nancy.
David Lee Corbo
She's great.
Top Lobster
What a lovely voice. All right, we're gonna take her. Shut up, Nancy.
David Lee Corbo
Don't talk anymore. All right. Well, that was. There you go. There you go. All right. Well, I guess that's. That's it. Thank you, Ed. Thank you for your time. It's good to see you. We have to stop, but I know we're going to take another week off. We need, we need more Ed. What's wrong with us?
Top Lobster
We need more Ed. I gotta figure out a way to schedule him and Matt on the same. How cool. That would be a fun conversation.
David Lee Corbo
I would love that.
Ed Mabry
Check out our reach out to Marzuli, see if he wants to. To do like a roundtable. That'd be. That'd be a lot of fun talking.
David Lee Corbo
That would be great. That would be really good.
Top Lobster
I would love that. Yeah, let's end also. My God, I forget his name. John. We, I, we're just, we're all over the place. What's his name? Right. John.
Ed Mabry
Yeah. Oh, wait, my friend John.
David Lee Corbo
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Ed Mabry
I'm sure you'd love to come back on. I, I think I sent you guys something that he's been doing the series with one of your. He may be listening right now, who knows whose name is Jason. And I, I send you a link to check out his video he gave you. He gave you guys a shout out. Really, really interesting.
Top Lobster
I saw the email. I didn't watch it yet, but I'm gonna, I'm gonna go back and watch it because I bridges this gap between.
Ed Mabry
Christianity and Buddhism because I was like, I didn't even. I, I realized that I was completely ignorant of Buddhism. I had a superficial understanding of it.
David Lee Corbo
And we learned some interesting things about Buddhism recently.
Ed Mabry
Really interesting stuff.
Top Lobster
So what did he say about it, just out of curiosity?
Ed Mabry
Well, that it's not, it's not a religion per se. And I'm going to mangle it because I'm still understanding it. It's, it's, it's a way of, of thinking. It's a. And it really dovetails quite nicely with what Jesus. Some of the things that, that Jesus was saying about how, how we should be, how we should behave and it's, it's, it's really about. Again, I, I apologize for not being prepared to talk about this a little better, but it's, it's. I guess, I guess I would say it's about your thought process. It's about where you put your mind and what you consider yourself open to and things like that. He would be, I think, really cool to have on the show. I mean, check out the video, see what you guys think. But he, he does an eight, an eight episode series with John on. And he's just, it was his search for, for truth basically of understanding it. And, and he's coming around to believe he, he recognized that Jesus spoke the truth. We saw that Christians weren't living the truth. So I think they kind of, so I think they kind of made him give Christianity the Heisman for a minute. But he came around to understanding that, you know, that Buddhism was about the, about having a, a really good thought process and that being the conduit through which you see life. Not necessarily that you believe in a religion of Buddhism, but that you have your mind in the right place, that you're open to, to interpreting things the right way. And I'm sure Jason's gonna say, Ed, you completely mangled Buddhism, which I probably did. But yeah. Interesting, Interesting guy.
Top Lobster
We just had a guy come on.
David Lee Corbo
And say that Buddha was the reincarnated Vishnu. What's his name? What's his name? Not, not exactly Satan, Anubis and like A couple other characters. Yeah, it's the ninth incarnation of Hermes, Anubis. Something else and something else. Very interesting.
Top Lobster
Yeah, but listen, it's like, all right, let's hear. Let's hear the other side of that.
David Lee Corbo
Yeah, I don't know.
Top Lobster
Yeah, it's this guy that Jesus is cool, you know?
Ed Mabry
Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah, he's totally on board with it. And I think. And he. He actually saw John on our. The show he did last year. I think it was just the show about, you know, Trump Derangement Syndrome and how people were losing their minds about it. It. And he reached out to John because he's an avid listener of. Of. Of this. Of Nephilim's death squad, and he reached out to John and he and John started. They started counseling each other. John was counseling him on like, all the mind brain stuff. He started counseling John on what the. The Buddhist. They do. Like, they are all about just thinking well and. And debating in the proper way, exchanging ideas and that sort of thing, and just have having your mind right and being open to discerning things the right way. So there's a lot of discernment in it. And that's the part that resonated with me that's interesting.
David Lee Corbo
Okay.
Ed Mabry
To look into that nirvana, you have to empty yourself of everything and. And chant and things like that. I know it was a lot.
David Lee Corbo
I know the guy, you know, he made some bangers. Never really a fan of them.
Top Lobster
Who's that?
David Lee Corbo
Nirvana.
Ed Mabry
Oh, okay.
Top Lobster
Well, I'm also not. I'm not a fan of emptying yourself either. That's like a medit. Meditative process, which is kind of like. Like empty. Emptying yourself and then filling it with what?
David Lee Corbo
Right.
Top Lobster
I think that's not the Holy Spirit. Yeah, this could be the dangerous part, but yeah, it's like. It's in principle sounds good, but then in practice. What are you. What are you going to do with that?
David Lee Corbo
So once you empty that vessel, you plan on filling that bad boy?
Top Lobster
Let me. Yeah, well, I'm going to. I'm going to check out the video and then maybe we could set something up too.
Ed Mabry
Okay. All right. Okay.
Top Lobster
Okay, let's bring it in. We'll bring it in. We're ready.
David Lee Corbo
Thanks, Ed.
Top Lobster
Thank you, Ed.
Ed Mabry
Thank you. Guys.
Top Lobster
Guys, it's been a good week for Nephilim Death Squad and the world. I guess it's going to be ending soon. But until next time, don't forget to obey, submit and comply.
Ed Mabry
The greatest hypnotist on planet Earth is a problem box in the corner of the room. It is constantly telling us what to believe is real. You will persuade us that what they see with their eyes is what there is to see, because they'll laugh in the face of an explanation that portrays the bigger picture of what and they have.
Podcast: Nephilim Death Squad
Hosts: TopLobsta (Top Lobster), David Lee Corbo (Raven)
Guest: Ed Mabry (Faith by Reason)
Date: August 30, 2025
In this episode, TopLobsta and Raven are joined once again by Ed Mabry for a captivating dive into end-times prophecy, the concept of a September rapture, the significance of jubilee years, and why 2025 is buzzing with eschatological predictions—from both biblical and conspiratorial circles. The group explores calendars, feasts, numerology, spiritual discernment, and how conspiracy theories around aliens and New Age beliefs might dovetail into modern Christian eschatology.
“There is actually a lot of compelling reasons to believe that 2025 is a pretty special year.” – Ed Mabry (08:17)
“According to the Essenes… 6,000 years ends in 2075. If you take 2075 and subtract 50 years, it would take us back to 2025. So 2025… is the beginning of the last jubilee.” – Ed Mabry (18:13)
“The Feast of Trumpets was called the feast of which no man knows the day or the hour…to a first-century Israelite, they would say, ‘Oh, he’s talking about the Feast of Trumpets.’” – Ed Mabry (32:34)
“When the Rapture happens, there is going to be this alien component… I think that’s going to be one of the ways they probably explain how it happened whenever it happens.” – Ed Mabry (12:08)
“If we aren’t [raptured], what I don’t want is for people to be disappointed and turn away and stop being watchful…There is serious date-setting fatigue.” – Ed Mabry (52:07)
“When the Rapture happens, there is going to be this alien component… that’s going to be one of the ways they probably explain how it happened” – Ed Mabry (46:00)
Stay Watchful…But Stay Sane:
“If it happens, awesome. If it doesn’t happen, don’t lose faith. God didn’t let you down—man did, by setting dates.” – Ed Mabry (71:01)
In summary:
This episode exemplifies the Nephilim Death Squad philosophy—a blend of robust biblical exegesis, lively and irreverent banter, and “conspiracy-minded” connections that highlight why 2025, the Feast of Trumpets, and the idea of a coming jubilee have become focal points for modern end-times speculation. Listeners are encouraged to think critically, stay spiritually sober, and focus on readiness over hype.
