Eschaton

You're in for a treat today! I'm joined by my good friend David, who also happens to be one of the wisest men I know. I couldn't think of a better guest for Eschaton's inaugural interview and by the end of this discussion I think you'll understand why. David's keen insights and deep understanding of what ails our modern society will have you listening to this episode multiple times! Our conversation centers on the digital revolution that the world finds itself in the midst of and how it's subversively changing the human experience. Prepare to look at this topic from a fresh perspective that you might not have considered before. David is an educator, pastor, musician, thinker, athlete, and many other things. You could rightfully call him a renaissance man. But before all of that, he's a father and a husband trying to understand the best way to lead his family through this brave new world.  If you enjoy our content please consider leaving us a review on iTunes.

In today's episode we explore one of the oldest and most widely experienced unexplained phenomena in the world. Sleep paralysis has gone by many names over the centuries: "The Night Mare", "Old Hag Syndrome", "Being Ridden by the Witch", etc. But when we strip away the most extravagant speculations about the nature of these surreal encounters, what remains? Is something supernatural going on here, or are the origins more terrestrial than they appear? Tune it to find out!

We kick-off today's episode with a little bit of California dreamin' before diving into our topic... You won't want to miss this one. It'll be relevant to all of our listeners - believers and skeptics alike! Have you ever found yourself neck deep in a passionate debate about creation vs. evolution, the age of the earth, or the origins of the universe? If you've spent any time on the internet, I bet the answer to that question is "yes." Well, what if I told you that the ancient text that sits at the center of that debate (The Book of Genesis) was never intended by its author to be used as a scientific accounting of how the universe came to be? What if the authors had something else in mind when they wrote those famous verses... something just as earth shattering and just as important? Before you get your pitch forks ready, take a few minutes to listen to this episode. I think that by the end you'll find something that you may not have noticed before.  Thank you for listening to Eschaton! Be sure to subscribe a

Humans are great story tellers. Our history is riddled with epic tales of heroic conquests and cataclysmic disasters. But why is it that so many of our time-tested stories have different versions that seem to contradict one another? And when different cultures add their own unique spin to the retelling of the same historical event, how do we know which version is reliable? In this episode we wrestle with those questions and more as we examine the origins of one of the most popular stories of all-time: the story of the Great Flood. You'll want to buckle your seat belt for this one... it may rock the boat (how's that for a pun?... I'll see myself out).  Subscribe on iTunes:https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/eschaton/id1227067114?mt=2 Like and follow us on Facebook @EschatonPodcast   

In today's episode we examine the relatively recent shift toward an interdependent global economy and what that means for the future.

In part two of Colder War we dive into the mysteries surrounding thermonuclear technology and the devastating implications of a modern conflict. We also examine whether or not ancient authors had anything to say about modern weaponry and its destructive capabilities. Is it possible that our ancestors from millenia gone by had their own up close and personal encounter with the explosive power of atomic weapons?

Today we introduce the most important issue of our time.  Poverty, disease, climate change... all of these concerns become irrelevant if we as a species fail to keep this one issue contained - the threat of thermonuclear war.  In this episode we will set the stage for our current crisis by explaining the brief history of how we arrived at a place where total annialation is never more than a button press away. Is the geopolitical situation more dangerous now than it was at the height of the Cold War? Has humanity become desensitized to our ever present danger? If so, what does this mean for the future of our race? All of that and more on this episode of Eschaton.

In this episode, we examine a popular contemporary teaching within mainline evangelical Christian churches: the idea that a Jewish temple needs to be built in the Holy Land as a prerequisite to the second coming of Jesus Christ. In fact, some teachers of End Times would go so far as to say that the biblical prophecies about the return of the Messiah CANNOT be fulfilled until a physical temple is erected in Jerusalem once again. We will look at what the Hebrew bible has to say about this subject and whether or not there are any clues in the Christian New Testament to help us properly understand and interpret this claim.   Music: “Judas Goat”, by Filastine via http://freemusicarchive.com   Please subscribe in iTunes and give us a 5 star rating if you enjoy our content!

In this episode we will examine the theological writings and predictions of Sir Isaac Newton... yes, that Isaac Newton! While he is best known as one of the world's foremost scientists and the man who established the Law of Universal Gravitation, Newton was also a spiritualist and religous thinker who wrote thousands of pages on subjects like alchemy and biblical prophecy. Today we will discuss a specific prediction that has been credited to Sir Isaac Newton and has grown in popularity in recent years. This is the claim that the world will end in the year 2060. What is so significant about this year and why did Newton write about it? Tune in to this episode of Eschaton to find out!   Recommended Reading: "Observations Upon the Prophecies of Daniel: and the Apocalypse of St. John (End of Days)", by Sir Isaac Newton.   Music: "Judas Goat" by Filastine (via http://freemusicarchive.com)
