1. Welcome and Introductions [03:00 - 05:07]
The episode kicks off with Top Lobsta welcoming listeners back to the Revelation Series, marking it as the 24th episode. He introduces Ed Mabry as a recurring and prolific guest, highlighting their extensive collaboration of approximately 30 episodes. Top Lobsta recommends newcomers to start with Ed's earlier episode, "Speed of Light," to better grasp the ongoing discussions.
Top Lobsta:
"We're welcoming back Ed Mabry. Well, this is the 24th episode, but really there's a couple other episodes. So, Ed, you're like the most prolific guest on Nephilim Death Squad." [03:25]
2. Guest Introduction and Resources [05:07 - 09:42]
Ed Mabry discusses his platforms, primarily his website faithbyreason.net and his newly launched Patreon. He emphasizes the exclusive content available to Patreon supporters, including weekly releases, bonus materials on topics like identifying false prophets, and participation in a monthly Bible study titled "Jehovah's Story Book Club." This study aims to navigate the Bible from a supernatural perspective, unpacking its narratives as if experiencing them anew.
Ed Mabry:
"On the Patreon you get for the five dollar tier, the red tier, you get stuff. As soon as I release content, I'm releasing it weekly now making, I'm keeping myself on a schedule." [05:07]
3. Understanding Eternity and Time [09:42 - 15:08]
The conversation shifts to the conceptualization of eternity. Ed proposes that eternity isn't an endless stretch of linear time but rather an instantaneous, holistic experience where all events coexist, akin to how dreams function. He draws parallels between dreaming—where time and space are fluid—and the anticipated experience of eternity, suggesting that in the afterlife, the rigid structure of time dissolves, allowing for simultaneous events and interactions.
Ed Mabry:
"Eternity is going to be like when you dream. Everything is happening at once, like when you're dreaming... all these crazy things are happening, you're outside of time and space." [15:08]
4. Dimensions and Spiritual Perception [15:08 - 33:00]
Ed delves into the idea of multiple dimensions, suggesting that angels exist in an 11-dimensional space, far beyond human perception. This higher dimensionality explains why angelic beings appear as "living light" or "blue fire" to humans—they are manifestations constrained by our three-dimensional understanding. The hosts discuss how higher-dimensional beings interact with our realm, often adopting forms comprehensible to us, much like a three-dimensional object intersecting a two-dimensional plane.
Ed Mabry:
"These Elohim, if they occupy 11 dimensions, they're so far beyond us... like a two-dimensional being coming into our world. They don't understand." [26:53]
5. Free Will and God's Knowledge [36:02 - 44:33]
The discussion transitions to the theological concept of free will. Ed argues that while God is omniscient, He doesn't possess knowledge of future free choices due to the inherent nature of free will. Using the example of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac, Ed illustrates that God allows individuals the freedom to make choices, even those that deviate from the divine plan. This dynamic ensures that relationships and moral growth are genuine and not predetermined.
Ed Mabry:
"If we're truly beings of free will, then that means that God can't know every decision we're going to make until we make it." [36:44]
6. Salvation and Divine Justice [44:33 - 71:08]
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to exploring the mechanics of salvation and divine justice. Ed explains that Jesus' death serves as a means to satisfy divine justice by offering His sinless life as a substitute for humanity's transgressions. He emphasizes that this act doesn't diminish God's omnipotence but rather reflects His perfect alignment with justice and mercy.
Ed Mabry:
"Jesus had to die in order for justice to be served. Man deserved to die for sin, so someone who has never sinned had to die for us and give us their innocence." [77:03]
7. Cryptocurrency and the Mark of the Beast [37:02 - 65:36]
The hosts delve into contemporary issues, notably the intersection of cryptocurrency and biblical prophecy. They discuss XRP (Ripple) as a potential candidate for the "Mark of the Beast," analyzing how government actions towards cryptocurrency could align with apocalyptic narratives. Raven shares personal experiences with cryptocurrency investments and their implications, while Ed expresses caution but acknowledges the uncertainty surrounding digital currencies.
Raven:
"Do you think cryptocurrency is the Mark of the Beast?"
Ed Mabry:
"It's not wrong to buy XRP. If it is, then I'm wrong." [37:02]
8. Future Endeavors: Bible Study and Patreon Expansion [71:08 - 99:19]
Ed outlines upcoming projects, including a comprehensive Bible study series available exclusively to Patreon members. This initiative aims to guide participants through the Bible annually, fostering a deeper supernatural understanding and community engagement. The hosts express enthusiasm for these projects, highlighting their potential to enrich listeners' spiritual journeys.
Ed Mabry:
"We'll be doing a recap and then starting a Genesis series, thinking about how to flesh out these ideas further." [95:58]
9. Blasphemy and Theological Speculations [67:18 - 94:34]
Towards the end of the episode, Ed introduces a controversial theory: God Himself might be participating in an eternal learning process alongside humanity. He speculates that in eternity, humans could gain the ability to create and shape realities, mirroring God's creative acts. This idea touches on themes similar to other theological systems, such as Mormonism's plan for exalted beings to create worlds. The discussion prompts reflections on free will, the nature of God, and the purpose of creation.
Ed Mabry:
"God is always a completely right and just. Everything has to work according to righteousness and justice... My idea is that in eternity, you can do what God did from the beginning—create your own Earth." [94:10]
10. Closing Remarks and Future Episodes [94:34 - End]
The episode concludes with the hosts expressing excitement for future discussions, particularly the Bible study series and further explorations of Genesis. They encourage listeners to join their Patreon for exclusive content and participate in upcoming live sessions. Light-hearted banter ensues, reinforcing the hosts' camaraderie and commitment to their audience.
Top Lobsta:
"I hope that all the dangerous out there listening... they'll join us because... we're gonna be there." [95:52]
Ed Mabry:
"Faithbyreason.net is the website... and the Patreon is where everything is going to be first." [96:33]
