Podcast Summary: Nephilim Death Squad Biblical Conspiracy
Episode: Is the Spiritual Realm a Lie? w/ Ed Mabrie
Date: January 24, 2026
Hosts: TopLobsta & David Lee Corbo (The Raven)
Guest: Ed Mabry
Episode Overview
This episode dives deeply into the question: "Is the spiritual realm a lie?" Hosts TopLobsta and The Raven welcome biblical researcher and teacher Ed Mabry for a thorough, occasionally fiery discussion of the spiritual realm’s existence, biblical evidence for it, and how certain prevailing theories — specifically those by guest Timothy Albarino — match (or conflict) with scripture and logic. The conversation also covers the intersection of UFO/alien disclosure, spiritual warfare, and contemporary eschatology, all the while reflecting the conspiratorial and irreverent tone the podcast is known for.
Key Discussion Points and Insights
1. Introducing Ed Mabry & The War for Doctrine
- Spiritual Warfare Course: Ed announces his upcoming course (pre-registration at faithbyreason.net), emphasizing its in-depth, "Delta Force"-level approach—defense, offense, and replication of spiritual warfare skills.
- "We're building an army, and that's the whole point of this." (Ed Mabry, 06:56)
- Defining Core Beliefs: Ed stresses the importance of starting doctrine from two unshakable truths: God's perfect justice and desire for relationship. These become his filter for understanding scripture and doctrine.
- "A good doctrine brings you closer to God. A bad doctrine takes you further away." (Ed Mabry, 10:20)
2. Critique of Timothy Albarino’s View
Physicalists vs. Biblicists (13:27–25:48)
- Albarino’s Thesis: Angels are physical entities; the so-called "spiritual realm" is undefined or doesn’t exist as commonly conceived; all supernatural encounters are either physical or merely visions.
- Ed’s Response:
- Asserts science already proposes at least 10 dimensions (13:27–16:40)
- "Higher dimensions are exponentially more substantial and complex… imagine Isaiah and Ezekiel describing an 11-dimensional world." (Ed Mabry, 15:34)
- Challenges the claim there's no scientific basis for extra dimensions and highlights the Biblical depictions of angels as attempts to describe incomprehensible things.
- Warns against letting personal theories override plain scripture: "Don’t change the Bible to fit your theory. Change your theory to fit the Bible." (Ed Mabry, 25:20)
Genesis 6: Angels, Lust, and Logic (32:32–43:07)
- Albarino’s view: Angels fell due to sexual lust for human women.
- Ed’s critique:
- Practical: If angels have no command from God to procreate, why would God give them a sex drive that can only damn them? That’s unjust and contradicts God’s nature.
- "That would be unjust for God to give you a drive...and the only way you can satisfy that drive is to do something he doesn’t want you to do, that will damn you." (Ed Mabry, 34:52)
- Biblical: The Hebrew says the women were "good" (acceptable), not lusted after—angels sought legal marriage for spiritual-legal dominion:
- "They married them...because they wanted their own kids...It wasn’t about getting booty, it was about getting the Earth back." (Ed Mabry, 41:27)
- Practical: If angels have no command from God to procreate, why would God give them a sex drive that can only damn them? That’s unjust and contradicts God’s nature.
3. The Overlap: UFOs/Disclosure & Biblical Patterns (43:13–53:12)
-Demonic Connections: Raven outlines the correlations between alien abduction experiences and classic demonic encounters:
- "The similarities between just demonic encounters and encounters with virtually anything else you might toss in the alien camp are tremendous." (David Lee Corbo, 53:12) -Name of Jesus Stops Abductions: The Raven and Ed discuss reports where abductions ceased when abductees invoked Jesus, arguing this alone justifies considering many "alien" encounters as demonic.
- "If you’re an alien from planet Xenon 12, why the hell do you care about Jesus?" (Ed Mabry, 52:33)
- Ed also notes exceptions (e.g. sons of Sceva; certain biblical classifications of demons).
4. Scriptural and Research Integrity (55:08–63:40)
-On Speculative Theories: The hosts examine Albarino (and others’ tendency) to favor obscure rabbinical or mystical interpretations (e.g. Meroz as a planet, which scripture and Ed see as a place/people). -Intellectual Honesty: Ed is praised for saying, “I don’t know, I’ll research it and get back to you,” setting an example for theological humility (56:12–59:01).
5. The Ontology of the Spiritual Realm (66:15–74:45)
-The Spiritual Realm is More Real:
- Ed argues the physical world is an "electric simulation" (empty space, vibration, light), making the spiritual realm “more” real, not less.
- "When an angel or Elohim materializes, they don’t become more solid, they become less solid to interact with us." (Ed Mabry, 68:43)
- The analogy: like us in a cloud, or land creatures entering the ocean—we can’t fully grasp or exist in the spiritual realm as we are. -Biblical Example: Elisha’s servant’s eyes being “opened” to see spiritual armies—he was shown more, not less of reality (73:57).
6. Candid Reflections on Recent Debates & Motivations (76:39–84:57)
- Meta-commentary: The hosts, guest, and chat reflect on why contentious guests agree to debates, the value and risk of engaging with adversarial ideas, and why humility matters in research and teaching.
- Some humorous moments, including anecdotes about the tension of previous debates, and the show’s chaotic and provocative style.
7. The Coming Disclosure: Is the End Nigh? (84:57–91:58)
- Why Is Disclosure Different Now?:
- More high-profile/official interest and media (i.e. Amazon records, Elizondo, Spielberg)—preparing the public through PR, not information.
- Geopolitical and economic signals (e.g., gold/silver spikes, DEWs revealed, religious/prophetic anticipation).
- Ed remains skeptical: "God is going to decide when this age ends...They’re not in control." (Ed Mabry, 91:00)
8. Spiritual Warfare Course & Defense (95:21–102:27)
- Ed’s Course Details: Focus on practical equipping for awareness, defense, offense, and teaching others about spiritual battle.
- Unique element: tailored approach, recognizing individual struggles/attacks.
- How to Engage Demons?: Never converse except as necessary; follow the model of Christ against Satan—"limited business only."
- “Spiritual warfare is done through words.” (Ed Mabry, 100:24)
Notable Quotes and Memorable Moments
- On the Nature of Angels and the Spiritual Realm
- "When you believe that you have the truth, everything has to conform to it..." (Ed Mabry, 24:10)
- "The spiritual realm is consciousness. Your consciousness is eternal because it’s outside of time." (Ed Mabry, 32:32)
- On Demons and UFOs
- "If these things are not demonic...If you’re an alien from the planet Xenon 12, why the hell do you care about Jesus?" (Ed Mabry, 52:33)
- On Intellectual Honesty
- "What’s the saddest thing you just said, Raven, is that you have to call it out. That should be everyone’s point of view — that I don’t know everything." (Ed Mabry, 59:01)
- Humor:
- "If I don’t smile while I’m wearing an Indiana Jones outfit, I am an asshole of magnificent proportions." (David Lee Corbo, 84:25)

Final Thoughts
This episode was both academically rigorous and characteristically irreverent, presenting a thorough and controversial defense of the reality (and primacy) of the spiritual realm against materialist/revisionist interpretation. The conversation routinely circles back to the need for humility, scriptural fidelity, and practical readiness for spiritual battle. The intersection of biblical prophecy, UFO disclosure, and cultural change makes this a must-listen for those tracking supernatural and conspiratorial trends through a biblical lens.
