P.I.D. Radio 5/10/15: Theology from Fiction

sharonkgilbert — Sun, 10 May 2015 19:43:04 +0000

THE TELEVISION series Dig is a well-written and stylish archaeological thriller, dramatizing an attempt by secretive groups of Christian and Jewish zealots to bring about the Apocalypse by destroying the Dome of the Rock, the mosque that is believed to occupy the site of Solomon’s Temple. We discuss elements of the show and the tendency of people — selves included — to incorporate fiction into our theology.

Also: The ongoing bird flu disaster in the United States, a reoccurrence of Ebola in west Africa, implications of sacrificing religious freedom to gay marriage, and Rick Warren’s weight-loss guide named “Christian Book of the Year”.

P.I.D. Radio 4/26/15: Of Gods and Mountains

Derek — Sun, 26 Apr 2015 19:36:49 +0000

MOUNTAINS ARE shaking. A massive earthquake has left over 2,400 dead in Nepal, India, Bangladesh, and Tibet at last count, and that number will almost certainly grow in the hours ahead. Meanwhile, a volcano in Chile has unexpectedly erupted for the first time in 40 years, spewing a cloud of ash that’s reached southern Brazil.

What’s more, people spotted something that looked like a giant in the cloud and some locals are convinced that it was a manifestation of the god of the volcano.

This isn’t surprising. Mountains and volcanoes have been considered the abode of gods since the dawn of time. In fact, Eden was on “the holy mountain of God” (Ezekiel 28:13-14). And the climactic battle between the armies of heaven and the forces of Antichrist will be at Armageddon — har-mo’ed — the “mount of assembly” in the Holy Land, Mount Zion.

See Cris Putnam’s excellent five-part article Armageddon: The OT Background to the Battle for the Cosmic Mountain. See also this paper by Dr. Michael S. Heiser, The Divine Council and Biblical Theology.

Also: A virtual reality app that promises to reunite users with dead loved ones; Chinese scientists change human DNA for the first time; ETs and faith; personhood vs. human exceptionalism; H5N2 avian flu continues to spread; and fighting disease with cyborg cow sperm (cow sperm?).

P.I.D. Radio 10/12/13: Consecrated to an Apparition

Derek — Sat, 12 Oct 2013 20:57:02 +0000

POPE FRANCIS will consecrate the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary tomorrow, October 13. A statue of Our Lady of Fatima, normally kept at the Chapel of Apparitions in Fatima, Portugal, is en route to Rome for the ceremony, which takes place on the 96th anniversary of the so-called Miracle of the Sun.

Interestingly, the Pope has already consecrated his pontificate to Our Lady of Fatima, in a ceremony following mass on May 13 of this year, the 96th anniversary of the first apparition at Fatima.

We don’t doubt people saw something at Fatima, but it wasn’t Mary.

Also: The Vampire Father of Papua New Guinea; teen exorcists; massive cyclone hits India; choosing the Mark; and Chris White debunks Caesar’s Messiah (see www.CaesarsMessiahDebunked.com). Also see this article by Cris Putnam.

P.I.D. Radio 8/14/13: Trash Bins Are Stalking You

Derek — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 23:29:21 +0000

IN JUST the most recent example of how insecure our digital privacy is, we hear that the city of London has ordered an advertising company to quit using its wifi-enabled trash bins to track the serial numbers of passing smart phones.

Renew, the company that makes the LCD-equipped bins, claims that they weren’t able to see information likes names, addresses, or passwords. However, the proof of concept demonstrates that the technology exists for other organizations — or government agencies — to do it.

Also: NSA to fire 90% of its sysadmins; the rise of Google; violence in Egypt; “angel priest” comes forward; and the Sun is about to flip.

If you’re in the North Central U.S., please consider attending the Minneapolis Underground Summit with Russ Dizdar, Doug Woodward (Derek’s guest this weekend on A View From the Bunker), and Rob Skiba September 27th and 28th at the Hotel Sofitel, Minneapolis.

P.I.D. Radio 8/9/13: Bird Flu Again

Derek — Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:38:55 +0000

SCIENTISTS HAVE announced plans to genetically modify the dangerous H7N9 virus to make it more lethal. They say it will help them understand how it could mutate in nature and trigger a catastrophic pandemic.

Hmm. The case mortality rate for H7N9 so far is near 20%, or about four times more deadly than the 1918/19 Spanish Flu. What could possibly go wrong?

Also: Archaeologists think they may have found a piece of the True Cross; Amish healer from Sharon’s old stomping grounds passes away; dolphins experience “unusual mortality event”; and more violence in the Sinai.

P.I.D. Radio 7/20/13: The Amazing Colossal Virus

Derek — Sat, 20 Jul 2013 23:12:37 +0000

BIOLOGISTS THIS week announced the discovery of a giant virus, up to ten times larger than most. The supersized virus, named Pandoravirus, is thought to be the biggest ever found.

Interestingly, researchers say that “only 6% of its genes resembled genes seen before in other organisms on Earth.” Of course, one of the researchers added that means the virus — wait for it — may have come from another planet, such as Mars.

Also: Massacre in Afghanistan linked to anti-malarial drug; Vatican offers indulgences to followers of the Pope’s tweets; massive solar eruption shoots past Earth; Google Glass hacked for spies; and the NSA inserts its own code into Android OS — meaning 3/4 of all smart phones.

Note: We won’t be able to produce new shows next week due to travel for the Prophecy Summit at Pikes Peak next weekend. Keep an eye on our Twitter feed for updates from the conference.

P.I.D. Radio 3/4/13: Sinkholes and Locusts

Derek — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 00:15:37 +0000

LAST WEEK had plenty to chew on for people who like a good dose of impending doom: As we prepare for the election of Pope Benedict’s successor, a 20-foot sinkhole swallowed a Florida man while he lay in bed, and a swarm of more than 30 million locusts ate its way across Egypt — interestingly, just three weeks before the start of Passover.

Also: Cardinal Bertone bugs the Vatican; DHS buys light-duty tanks and dozens of drones; Stuxnet beta’s devious attack on Iran; and we briefly discuss the work of Sue Bradley (article archive here).

Sharon and Derek are presenters at the upcoming Chicago Summit #3, with Russ Dizdar, L.A. Marzulli, Doug Woodward, Rob Skiba, Doug Hamp, and Tom Dunn of the Josiah Project. Details online here.

We will also be at the Pikes Peak Prophecy Summit July 26-28, 2013 with Gary Stearman, Tom Horn, Chuck Missler, L.A. Marzulli, Joseph Farah, Dr. Stan Monteith, Cris Putnam, and many more. Get information here.

P.I.D. Radio 11/5/12: Still the King

Derek — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 02:17:18 +0000

THE 2012 presidential election cycle is about to close. Election Day is tomorrow, November 6th. And while we encourage you to get out and cast your ballot, we remind you that the King is still on the throne and will be until the end of time.

Also: Pray for the victims of Superstorm Sandy — a nor’easter is due to hit New York Wednesday; a Russian sub skirts the East Coast ahead of Sandy; Staten Island borough president blasts Red Cross; DynCorp wins big Pentagon contract after “unsatisfactory” review; and a disturbing story we missed in late September about America’s use of the “double tap” — secondary drone missile strikes to target first responders who rush to help the injured after attacks on suspected terrorists.

That raises a very uncomfortable question: Who are the real terrorists?

Then Russ Dizdar of Shatter The Darkness Ministries talks with Derek about Chicago Summit 2 with Shelly Dizdar, L.A. Marzulli and Tom Dunn this coming weekend, November 9 and 10, 2012 at the Wyndham Lisle-Chicago Hotel. Topics include spiritual warfare, the infiltration of the church, developments in the Middle East, and end times spiritual deception.

P.I.D. Radio 10/28/12: A Drone Again, Naturally

Derek — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 23:30:13 +0000

IT APPEARS that regardless of who wins the United States presidential election nine days from now, our drone war against suspected terrorists (and anyone within an acceptable radius, from a collateral damage standpoint) will continue without interruption.

The CIA wants more drones and more places to launch them, the White House will still have a secret capture/kill list, and if you dare question the moral or constitutional justification for killing four-year-old girls over there to limit the possibility that four-year-old girls here get killed, well, you’re “a horrible moron.”

Also: Fiscal cliff ahead; head of Bank of England admits that banks don’t have enough capital; Sandy takes aim at East Coast; and something falls into a Mexican volcano.

Forgive us — we forgot to come back to the creepy story of the drone that “started its engine without any human direction, even though the ignition had been turned off and the fuel lines closed. Technicians concluded that a software bug had infected the ‘brains’ of the drone, but never pinpointed the problem.” Obviously, there’s a Cylon in your future.

Thanks to Adam Curry for inspiring the title.

P.I.D. Radio 10/14/12: Who Goes Under the Bus?

Derek — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 00:35:28 +0000

Who takes the fall?

AN INTERESTING thing emerged into public view last week during congressional hearings and the vice presidential debate: The State Department and the White House are playing a game of C.Y.A. regarding the deadly attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya. The question is whether President Obama or Secretary of State Clinton will take the fall.

Both parties seem willing to let the other do the honors.

Elsewhere: Turks and Syrians edge closer to war; Sen. Arlen Specter dies; Barack Obama’s “no god but Allah” ring; BBC film crew detained at Area 51; and the Brits develop anti-alien weapons.

Note: We received this email from Rabbi Michael Bugg on 10/15/12 which clarifies the point we tried to make about President Obama’s ring:

Shalom, Derek and Sharon.

Assuming you didn’t get the answer later in the show, the Biblical equivalent to the Shahad would be the Shema (Deu. 6:4):

Shema Yisrael, Adonai Eloheynu, Adonai Echad.
Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

Obviously, I’m substituting “Adonai” (“the Lord”) for the Tetragramaton here. Alternatively, you could translate it,

Hear O Israel, the Eternal One is our God, the Eternal One alone.

The very next verse is, “And you shall love the Lord your God . . .” Yeshua quoted both the Shema and the next verse together when asked what the most important commandment is in Mark 12[:29-31]. From that I would argue that the Shema is not only the most important creed in Judaism, but that it should be to Christians as well–and that if a Christian were to have it on a ring (and I know several that do) that it would not be a problem at all.

The problem with a Christian wearing or stating the Shahad, even if it doesn’t contain the second clause regarding Mohammed (and in this case, I’d want to see the inside of the ring’s band) is that in Islamic theology, Allah is not only a general word for “God,” but is also the personal name of the God of Islam, in opposition to the Tetragramaton, which is the personal name of the God of Judaism and Christianity. Therefore to wear it or say it is to declare that there is no god but the one proclaimed by Mohammed–whose personal attributes as described in the Quran are precisely opposite of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Just my two cents.

Shalom uv’recha b’Shem Yeshua,
Rabbi Mike

Best of P.I.D. Radio: Stan Deyo

Derek — Sun, 09 Sep 2012 23:37:44 +0000

Stan Deyo

IN LIEU of our take on the news this week — we really don’t want to rehash the political conventions — we decided to bring back an interview from our first year on the web.

In the fall of 2005, in the middle of the most intense Atlantic hurricane season ever (Katrina, Rita, and Wilma are, as of this writing, three of the six most intense hurricanes recorded) and following a destructive earthquake in Pakistan that killed an estimated 75,000 people, we spoke with Stan Deyo, CEO of Halo Orbital Technologies. His life story reads like a sci-fi thriller — except that readers might find the plot too “out there” even for fiction.

His resume includes Above Top Secret security clearance, undercover work for the FBI, and work on a black budget project developing “flying saucer” propulsion technology under Dr. Edward Teller.

He’s also a computer programmer in seven languages, the author of two books and five scientific papers, a university lecturer in 3D computer animation and graphic art, and an amateur archeologist in the Middle East where he believes he’s found the location of the Garden of Eden. (We didn’t even get a chance to talk about that.)

Stan discussed his earthquake prediction maps, which are based on ocean temperature data provided by the U.S. Navy. He’s been accurate approaching 80 to 90 percent of the time, to the point that it appears the Navy is withholding information from Stan from time to time. We got his assessment of the killer quake in Pakistan.

He also talked about his work on anti-gravity, research that almost got him killed at the bottom of a mile-deep mine shaft in Australia. Stan says this technology is in use today, but not by any national government. Governments change, but the men and women who hold real power in this world pass it down from generation to generation and they have no national loyalties.

And we’ll mention again, in the public interest, that Stan does not recommend anti-gravity as a safe elementary school science project.

P.I.D. Radio 8/26/12: Here Comes Isaac

Derek — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 00:56:26 +0000

IT’S HARD to believe, but seven years ago almost to the day we recorded a program on PID Radio about the impending landfall of Hurricane Katrina. Now, we look at the forecasts and see meteorologists warning that Tropical Storm Isaac may “even rival Hurricane Katrina in its destructive power.” Current models put Isaac on the Gulf Coast late Tuesday or early Wednesday.

Here is the link to the MIMIC website Sharon mentioned.

Also: Who does the government intend to shoot; Russia may have sold out Iran for Israeli gas; link between Saudi terror cells and rocket attacks on Israel; the Ulsterman and his White House Insider; and Derek recommends Wolf Time by Lars Walker (free download in Kindle, Palm, EPUB, MOBI, HTML, RTF, Microsoft Reader, Ebookwise/Rocket, and Sony Digital formats).

P.I.D. Radio 5/7/12: The Nostradamus Effect

Derek — Mon, 07 May 2012 22:24:49 +0000

IN WHICH we briefly discuss the recent wave of TV programming that elevates the 16th century mystic to the status of prophet. Why are so many people drawn to these murky ramblings? Is it a plot by elites to program us to anticipate imminent doom, or is it simply a matter of network programmers feeding the public’s hunger for this type of cosmic fortune telling?

Also: CIA claims to stop Al Qaida “Underwear Bomb 2.0”; EU plots to scrap Britain; US deploys high-tech F-22 Raptor to within striking distance of Iran; more drone strikes in Pakistan; Russian troops train in Colorado in May; child porn on Facebook; mother who killed young sons thought devil was chasing her; and dead dolphins and pelicans in Peru.

P.I.D. Radio 4/15/12: Nuclear Drones

Derek — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 00:22:38 +0000

WE DIDN’T actually spend a lot of time discussing a proposal to power America’s growing force of drone aircraft with nuclear reactors, but it makes for a catchy title. Imagine, though, the surveillance and strike capability of drones that can stay aloft for years instead of days.

The trouble, of course, isn’t flying the drones; it’s when and how they come down that could be a problem. The good news is that “political pressures” appear to have killed the program.

Also: More calls for intervention in Syria; NATO and US arming Israel for war with Iran; Invisible Children spied for Ugandan government; Balochistan new human rights flashpoint; “fracking” tied to earthquakes; the bizarre death of a Hollywood publicist (and CIA operative?); and Texas hit with four feet of hailstones.

P.I.D. Radio 11/7/11: National Emergency Test

Derek — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 01:13:32 +0000

FOR THE first time since the Emergency Broadcast System was invented in 1963, Americans will experience a national test of the Emergency Alert System. The test at 2:00PM EST (GMT -5) Wednesday will be sandwiched by a close fly-by of YU-55, a 1231-mile wide asteroid, Tuesday night, and an exercise Thursday to test our response to a disastrous Pacific tsunami.

It could be an interesting week.

Meanwhile, war drums continue to beat in Israel and Iran; Roman Catholic bishops in Germany preach chastity while selling porn; vengeful librarians watch Facebook for the CIA; Hobby Lobby tries to buy the Crystal Cathedral; and we cough a lot.

Sharon was interviewed by Stacy and Randall Harp of Active Christian Media for their show that streamed earlier today on BlogTalkRadio. Listen to the show by clicking here.
