A View from the Bunker

DEMONS ARE the spirits of the giants destroyed in the Flood of Noah. At least, that’s what Jews of the Second Temple period and the early Christian church believed. Author and pastor Doug Van Dorn (https://douglasvandorn.com/), bestselling author and award-winning screenwriter Brian Godawa (https://godawa.com/), and Director of the Institute of Biblical Anthropology Dr. Judd Burton (https://burtonbeyond.com/) join us for our monthly Iron and Myth round table to discuss the origin of evil spirits. We dig into what the Bible says about these spirits, extrabiblical texts, and startling evidence that the demigod heroes of Greece like Herakles and Perseus were the Rephaim of the Amorites, Canaanites, and Hebrews. Here’s a link (https://theoluniv.ub.rug.nl/32/7/2013Doedens%20Dissertation.pdf) to the paper mentioned by Doug during the program, “The Sons of God in Genesis 6:1–4,” a 2013 doctoral dissertation by Dr. Jaap Doedens (link opens PDF file). Help us to Build Barn Better! This is our project to convert our 1,200 square foot shop building from a place to park our yard tractor into usable studio and warehouse space. In 2023, we plan to fix the holes in the walls, replace windows, insulate the building, install an HVAC system, and move our studios and book/DVD warehouse and shipping office out of our home.
