Mailbag: Inter-dimensional Aliens, Spiritual Portals, and New Christian Cuss Words

Besides this podcast, where else could you go for talks of aliens, spiritual warfare, resurrection, raptures, portals into the spirit realm, and how to cook with poop? 

I’ll tell you where else you could go: the Bible. Because the Bible has all those subjects in it. And we’re going to talk about all of them today.

To start: there is a dark and disturbing story in II Kings 3 where the Israelites are engaged in a battle against Mesha, the King of the Moabites. Mesha and Moab are way outnumbered. Not only that, the prophet Elisha in II Kings 3:18 had prophesied that Israel would easily win this conflict. And that’s how things look right up until the very last verse of the chapter.

Mesha is surrounded with no hope; the Israelites have all the momentum. In a moment of desperation, Mesha stands on the city wall and offers up a human sacrifice. 

When he does this, the Israelites turn around in fear and run right back home. So the question that will start us off today is: why? 

I find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore why it’s in the Bible. 

Turn to II Kings 3, and let’s get weird.
