Rahab is both a Canaanite woman who aided Israelite spies in Jericho and a poetic biblical term for a proud, defeated power often interpreted as a sea monster or Egypt.

The Nephilim are the powerful, giant figures mentioned in Genesis 6:4 and Numbers 13:33, whose name is linked to the Hebrew verb “to fall” and has been interpreted as “giants” in ancient texts.

This post explains the biblical differences between the Hebrew terms se’irim and shedim, showing they are distinct spirit beings and how later tradition connects them.

The word “Trinity” never appears in Scripture, but the Bible reveals one God who exists eternally as three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—through Old and New Testament teachings.

The se’irim are goat-form spirit beings named in Leviticus 17:7, 2 Chronicles 11:15, Isaiah 13:21, and Isaiah 34:14. Israel was forbidden to sacrifice to them.

Lilith appears by name once in the Bible, in Isaiah 34:14, in a poem about the ruin of Edom. Scholars disagree on what the word means.

Government secrecy about UFOs is real and documented, from the Robertson Panel's 1953 debunking recommendations to the Pentagon's admission in 2025 that it spread disinformation for decades. I argue that this political cover-up sits on top of a deeper one.

Many people believe aliens created or engineered humanity because that claim shows up repeatedly in contact accounts, gets amplified by popular media, and offers an answer to real questions about human origins and unexplained ancient structures.

Ancient gods and modern aliens share more than a passing resemblance. Both are described as coming from the sky, both take an interest in humanity, both sometimes produce offspring with humans, and both leave behind fear, awe, and illness in the people who encounter them.

Cultures with little or no contact with each other described beings connected to the sky, ruling, judging, or visiting humanity. Greek myth describes Uranus, the sky god overthrown by his son.

Some researchers argue that beings from the sky shaped major moments in ancient human history, including religion, kingship, and mythology. Ancient rulers in Egypt, Mesoamerica, and elsewhere claimed descent from sky gods.

Many people who report close UFO encounters describe more than a strange sighting. They describe a sense of dread, awe, or being in the presence of something far beyond an ordinary aircraft.

In early July 1947, rancher Mac Brazel found unusual debris on his property near Roswell, New Mexico, and reported it to the sheriff. On July 8, the Roswell Army Air Field announced it had recovered a flying disc.

The alien gospel is a name some researchers give to a pattern found across many contact and abduction accounts, in which the beings tell the experiencer that extraterrestrials created humanity through genetic engineering or seeded life on Earth long ago.

Genesis 6:1 to 4 says that as people multiplied on the earth, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful and took wives for themselves. Their offspring were the Nephilim, described as mighty men of old, men of renown.

In 2 Thessalonians 2, Paul warns that before the day of the Lord, a man of sin will be revealed who exalts himself above God. His coming will be marked by the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.

In Zechariah 5:5 to 11, the prophet sees a measuring basket, an ephah, with a lead cover. When the cover is lifted, a woman sits inside, and the angel says her name is Wickedness.

Some UFO witnesses report eye pain, swelling, or temporary blindness after looking at a very bright light. Bright light from any source can cause this, so the reports do not by themselves point to anything unusual.

Many people who report UFO or abduction encounters describe years of fear, nightmares, and anxiety, and their distress is real. A 2004 Harvard study found that people who said they had been abducted reacted physically to their abduction stories about as strongly as trauma patients react to theirs.

Many abduction accounts describe waking unable to move, often with a sense of a presence in the room. Sleep paralysis is a real and well-studied condition that produces exactly those feelings, and researchers have linked it to abduction reports.

Some witnesses report headaches, nausea, and trembling soon after a close encounter. Fear can cause every one of those symptoms, so a frightening sighting is enough to explain many cases.

Some witnesses say yes. The best-known case is the Cash-Landrum incident of December 29, 1980.

A breakdown of the four Greek terms Paul uses in Ephesians 6:12, drawing on named Catholic and Protestant commentators, the medieval angelic hierarchy tradition, and the occult and imperial context of ancient Ephesus.

On the night of September 18 to 19, 1976, civilians in Tehran reported a bright object in the sky. The Iranian Air Force sent two F-4 fighters to investigate.

On March 16, 1967, all ten Minuteman missiles in Echo Flight at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana lost alert status within seconds of each other. Air Force records confirm the shutdown.

A scripture-based walk through who Satan is, where the name Lucifer comes from, and how the Bible describes his fall from heaven.

Four non-Christian writers documented Jesus or the early Christian movement within about a century of the crucifixion, and none of them were defending the faith.

Israel sacrificed to shedim, not to God, indicating idolatry. The shedim are spirit beings that Israel worshiped with sacrifice.
