Podcast Summary: Nephilim Death Squad – "Manufactured Prophecy" w/ Ed Mabrie
Date: April 2, 2026
Hosts: David Lee Corbo (TopLobsta), Co-host Chris
Guest: Ed Mabrie (FaithbyReason.net)
Theme: Exploring modern "manufactured" biblical prophecy, eschatological deception, the role of the divine feminine in new age spirituality, and spiritual warfare in an era of global turmoil.
Main Theme & Purpose
This episode interrogates the current surge of end-times speculation amid global unrest, especially the Israel-Iran conflict, the proliferation of false or "manufactured" prophecies, and New Age/occult reinterpretations of biblical events. Ed Mabrie joins to provide a biblically grounded, and at times humorous, analysis of deception in an age when prophecy and spiritual experiences are being commodified or intentionally manipulated—as well as practical resources for discernment and spiritual resilience.
Key Discussion Points & Segments
1. Manufactured Prophecy: Does It Count?
[04:32–09:08]
- Hosts and Ed debate examples of ritual attempts to "force" biblical prophecy (e.g., breeding red heifers for Third Temple sacrifices in Israel).
- Ed: "I can't think of anything more religiously prideful than trying to help God bring about prophecy." (06:04)
- False urgency among believers and leaders to usher in the apocalypse, often aligning with political or Zionist ambitions.
- Ed points out a spiritual danger: such manufactured prophecy is not only unnecessary but could be actively cooperating with evil:
"You're not trying to bring about the advent of Jesus; you're trying to bring about the advent of the Antichrist. I don't want to meet that SOB." (07:53) - Critique of pastors and politicians gleefully anticipating judgment and war.
2. Political Powers and False Prophecy
[09:08–14:14]
- Shocking reports that some U.S. military personnel are told their actions are ordained by God to bring about Christ's return.
- Ed: "If you even thought there was a 1% chance there was a God, you'd think twice before claiming to speak for him." (09:48)
- Addresses the manipulation of religion for war and the severe biblical warnings for false prophets.
3. New Age Deceptions, Alien "Christs," and the Divine Feminine
[14:14–29:15]
- Discussion of popular podcaster Scott Walker's claim to have found a scroll allegedly written by "Jesus," stating he was an alien from Arcturus.
- Ed systematically dismantles these Gnostic and New Age claims:
"You have to make a decision. Either the Bible is true or it's not. If it's true, reject anything that differs from it." (16:12) - The Antichrist will be a Christ "close enough" for diverse religious systems: "A Christ everyone can compromise on." (14:14)
- Deep dive into the influx of the “divine feminine”—Bledsoe family orbs, the Queen of Heaven (Ishtar/Isis/Simaramus), Marian apparitions, and their biblical critique.
- Ed: "All these names—Ishtar, Astarte, Ashtaroth, Queen of Heaven—are all Semiramis." (26:51)
- Prophecy of orbs intervening in war between Israel and Iran, connected with cosmic events (Regulus and the Sphinx) and the rise of “the Lady” as a savior.
4. Israel-Iran Conflict, Prophecy & Geopolitics
[48:56–58:38]
- Reviewing contemporary events through the lens of biblical prophecy:
- Old Testament prophecies against Elam/Iran
- The formation of Pax Judaica (a peace forcibly imposed by Israel)
- The issue of the Antichrist "confirming the covenant" (possibly the Abrahamic land grant, i.e., Greater Israel).
- The changing tides of American and world opinion toward Israel and its prophetic significance.
5. Dialectics and Deep Conspiracies: Vatican vs. Zionism
[62:52–82:37]
- Ed presents a "Hegelian dialectic" at work: both pro- and anti-Zionism are funded and engineered by the same elite source, ultimately pointing to the Vatican and ancient mystery religions.
- Ed: "The Vatican is just the latest iteration of the mystery religions... When Rome became the power, Semiramis and Tammuz became Mother Mary and baby Jesus." (72:12)
- The synthesis is a new order or religion that will emerge from the current chaos.
- Replacement theology, Rapture doctrine, and the Catholic aversion toward biblical eschatology also addressed.
6. Church Traditions, Denominations, and Spiritual Experiences
[85:10–101:05]
- Critical reflection on the infighting among Christian denominations: Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant.
- The dangers of both overly rigid (Orthodox, Catholic) and overly loose (some Protestant) approaches.
- Manifestations of the Holy Spirit, counterfeit spiritual experiences (e.g., tongues, levitation), and the need for discernment.
- Ed: "The Holy Spirit is wild and unpredictable... If you're confining him, you're restricting him."

Critical Insights & Takeaways
1. Not everything labeled ‘prophecy’ or ‘miracle’ is genuine:
Intentional fabrication or manipulation of prophecy is not only unbiblical but may serve the agenda of evil.
2. The rise of New Age/occult “Christs”—and ecumenical spiritual syncretism—is the real challenge:
Expect a “compromise Christ” who appeals across religions and is confirmed by lying signs and wonders.
3. Religious and political dialectics are often engineered to produce a predetermined outcome:
Whether Zionist or Anti-Zionist, these struggles ultimately serve higher hidden interests—potentially the Vatican and the ancient priestly elite.
4. The key antidote is knowing the true character of God—and being able to recognize the counterfeit:
"Know who He is, so you know who He is not." (Ed Mabry [16:12])
Discerning the real from the fake, especially as deception accelerates, is the critical skill for believers.
