Nephilim Death Squad

Episode: "Filthy Dreamers | Straight Bible"

Hosts: TopLobsta, Raven
Date: November 18, 2025
Produced by: TopLobsta Productions

Overview

In this episode of Nephilim Death Squad, TopLobsta and Raven dive deep into the Book of Jude, examining verses 8–10 through a blend of biblical exegesis and candid cultural critique. The hosts use Jude as a springboard for discussions on the authenticity of modern church institutions, the importance of cross-referencing scripture, and the pitfalls of relying on worldly wisdom over divine revelation. Along the way, they traverse conspiratorial rabbit holes—touching on everything from the resurrection chamber of Gilgamesh to the fate of Moses' body—while always circling back to the central theme: discerning spiritual truth from carnal deception.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Uniqueness of Jude and Cross-Referencing Scripture

(02:31–06:23)
Jude is only one chapter, but its depth and references to obscure biblical and extra-biblical concepts require in-depth, slow study.
"Jude is saying crazy stuff that has to be cross referenced with other passages... We don't use man's wisdom to interpret scripture, we use the Bible to interpret scripture." — Matt [02:40]
Cross-referencing ensures interpretations remain grounded in Biblical narrative rather than human speculation.

2. Divergences Between Christianity and Other Religions

(03:45–06:15)
Discussion on parallels with Buddhism and world philosophies—acknowledging ethical overlaps, but emphasizing Christianity’s unique approach to sin and salvation.
"None of these other so-called religions deal with this. Like Christianity is the only one to deal with it. It's the story of the truth." — Matt [05:18]

3. False Grace and Earnest Contention for the Faith

(06:23–10:40)
Jude’s warning about “certain men crept in unawares” applies today; false teachers and “plastic” Christianity dilute real grace.
The hosts stress that scriptural engagement is about knowing God and discerning the patterns that repeat across Biblical and contemporary contexts.
"The patterns don't change. The players and the territories change, but the patterns never change." — Matt [08:03]

4. 'Filthy Dreamers,' Carnality, and Spiritual Blindness

(10:40–14:41)
The term "filthy dreamers" is dissected as a critique of those substituting spiritual reality with delusion or mere natural thinking.
Debunking popular secular self-help concepts (“love languages”) as non-Christian, highlighting the stark difference between carnal and spiritual mindsets.
- "My love language is coming down from heaven and dying a bloody, torturous death on the cross to buy me back from the dead." — Matt [11:30]
Spiritual growth requires dying to self and seeing beyond worldly benefits.

5. Jesus’ Confrontational Approach to Religious Hypocrisy

(14:41–22:26)
Deep dive into Matthew 23: Jesus calls out the religious leaders as “white tombs" and "hypocrites," showing the biblical precedent for plain-spoken rebuke.
The need for inward transformation over outward religious performance.
"He punked him in front of everybody... That is one of the most gangster lines ever Said in the human existence, dude: inside you guys are beautiful outside, but inside, full of dead men's bones." — Matt [20:23]

6. The Nature and Necessity of Chastening

(22:26–28:11)
God chastens those He loves, using hardship to mold character and keep believers on the “straight and narrow.”
"He's punishing us and chastising us almost to put us on this path... But afterward, it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness." — Matt [25:32]

7. Bitterness, Defilement, and Losing Sight of Eternity

(28:11–34:48)
A warning about how small infractions (bitternesses) lead to defilement and missing out on eternal priorities (using Esau as an example).
"The little things are your life... Be very careful and be very mindful of the little things, right? Because... a little root of bitterness could spring up, man." — Matt [28:37]

8. Despising Spiritual Government and the Church’s Model

(34:48–43:46)
2 Peter parallels Jude; hosts critique contemporary churches’ disregard for spiritual governmental structures (apostles, prophets, etc.), replacing them with business/franchise models.
"We've forsaken the model that's been given to us... for an American business model with a CEO, with a singing pastor, a talking pastor, a kids pastor, a youth pastor and all these other things." — Matt [58:42]
Advocates for a return to the New Testament structure: apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists.

9. Apostles & Spiritual Authority in the Modern Church

(43:46–66:36)
Discussion on whether apostles still exist today; scriptural support (Barnabas, Paul) for apostles beyond the original twelve.
Critique of the franchisable, corporate church structure dominating modern Christianity.
"If Jesus has set apostles in the church for the unity of the faith... why would there not be apostles today?" — Matt [54:42]
Call for a thorough examination of models for leadership and discipleship.

10. Moses’ Body, Occult Speculations, and Supernatural Mysteries

(66:36–75:05)
Exploration of Jude 9—the mysterious quarrel over Moses’ body between Michael and Satan.
Theorizing about Moses’ possible time-travel or translation into the heavenly realm; references to the Mount of Transfiguration and extra-biblical literature.
"I don't know. I'm totally comfortable saying that. I don't know... There’s clearly this argument between Michael and Satan. And these two got beef, dude." — Matt [66:57]
Brief mention of occult practice involving veneration or misuse of relics (e.g., Geronimo’s skull).

11. Carnal vs. Spiritual Wisdom, Plastic Preaching, and Modern Church Failures

(75:05–94:30)
Church leaders today are likened to “natural brute beasts”—operating in flesh, not spirit, resulting in commodification of believers and "plastic" (unnatural and molded) preaching.
"With that plastic preaching, they're going to make merchandise of you... Because they only understand natural things." — Matt [78:26]
Podcasts are praised as providing freer, more authentic access to spiritual discussion, akin to the shift from mainstream news to independent media.
Urges listeners to voraciously study scripture and resist being led by church systems modeled on secular business or entertainment.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

On Christianity as unique:
"It doesn't matter. The truth is the truth. Right. So if some entity reached something called like nirvana or something, it's like, yeah, what? Like, whatever. Cool. Yeah." — Matt [05:40]
On calling out religious hypocrisy:
"Jesus came along and bullied the bullies... He punked him in front of everybody. And he didn't try to be so sweet about it." — Matt [19:15]
On the decline of corporate church models:
"We're in a transition. The old model of the 501C3 system is going to become completely irrelevant... In the same way that the choreographed CNN and Fox News has become more and more irrelevant day by day." — Matt [78:43]
On enduring hardship as discipline:
"I have to be punished. Like, I have to be taught. Like, I would love it if I could just say, hey, God, why don't you just explain this stuff to me? But unfortunately, I'm very prideful. I'm arrogant. I have, like, stubborn ways. And I have to be shown things in real life for it to be real." — Matt [25:27]
On the persistent danger of “plastic” preaching:
"Has anybody else been around plastic preaching, this choreographed thing that just seems very plasticky. It's very formed, it's very molded. It's very unnatural. Because with that plastic preaching, they're going to make merchandise of you." — Matt [78:24]
On digging deep into scripture:
"The only way to kill off man's wisdom is to consume the word of God ferociously. I'm telling you, man, like the day that we live in, if you're not ferociously consuming the word of God, you're just going to be stuck in man's wisdom." — Matt [85:39]

Tone & Style

The episode is lively, candid, and often confrontational—challenging both religious norms and modern church practices with plain, passionate language. Matt and Raven jump between deep scriptural analysis and personal anecdotes, not shying away from calling out corruption or mediocrity in today's church landscape. There's an undercurrent of hope and a persistent call to spiritual authenticity, with constant urging for listeners to study scripture deeply and refuse surface-level, “plastic” spiritual engagement.

Final Thoughts & Takeaways

The Book of Jude serves as a timeless warning about deception, carnality, and the absence of true spiritual government in the church, still highly relevant today.
Genuine Christianity is marked by earnest pursuit of truth, self-sacrifice, and spiritual discernment—not external performance or franchise-style churchmanship.
Listeners are urged to “go hard after the word of God, be very serious about it, diligently go after the Faith, earnestly contend,” and reject both personal bitterness and institutionalized, carnal Christianity.
The spiritual “long game” demands recognizing patterns in scripture, seeing past the surface, and knowing God deeply—not just knowing about Him.
