In this episode, we dive into the theories and history of Atlantis with guest Doug Van Dorn. We explore its connections to biblical narratives, cataclysms throughout history, and genetic tampering. We also discuss cults and mythical creatures, and touch on recent projects and banter about shirts and Bigfoot in the Colorado mountains.
The destruction of Atlantis may have been caused by a major catastrophe, such as a comet impact or volcanic eruption.
The legends and myths surrounding Atlantis suggest that genetic tampering played a role in its downfall, reflecting the consequences of tampering with the natural order of God's creation.
The transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius, marked by the movement of the sun through zodiac constellations, helps to explain historical events and the current state of the world.
Deep dives
The Mystique of Atlantis
Atlantis captures the imagination of humanity with its romantic allure and mysterious nature. It is a legendary island that is believed to have been destroyed and sunk to the bottom of the ocean. The stories and myths surrounding Atlantis have made it one of the most popular and talked-about ancient civilizations. It is often associated with a golden age of peace, prosperity, and advanced technology. The idea of Atlantis helps us make sense of megalithic structures found around the world, as it suggests a highly advanced global civilization that may have existed before the Great Flood. While the exact location of Atlantis remains uncertain, the popular theory points towards the Canary Islands, where geological evidence suggests a catastrophic event that could have caused its destruction.
The Cataclysmic Theory of Atlantis' Destruction
One prevailing theory suggests that Atlantis was destroyed by a cataclysmic event, such as a comet impact or a massive volcanic eruption. This theory is supported by geological evidence that indicates rapid and drastic changes in the Earth's surface. The Canary Islands, particularly the region where three tectonic plates converge, are seen as a possible location for Atlantis due to the unique remnants of an ancient civilization found there. The idea that a global catastrophe, similar to the biblical flood, caused the destruction of Atlantis aligns with other evidence of ancient floods observed in different parts of the world.
Genetic Tampering and God's Intervention
The notion that genetic tampering played a role in Atlantis' downfall resonates with the idea that God intervenes when humans manipulate the order of creation. The legends and myths surrounding Atlantis often depict experiments with hybrid creatures, suggesting genetic manipulation. In both ancient times and the present day, genetic tampering raises moral and ethical questions. Some propose that God's intervention is triggered when humans engage in these acts, as seen in the biblical flood where the corruption of creation played a significant role. The parallels between ancient genetic tampering and modern-day changes provoke reflection on the consequences of tampering with the natural order of God's creation.
Platonic Ages and the End of the Age of Pisces
According to the concepts of Platonic ages and the Great Year, we are currently transitioning from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. This transition, which takes place over thousands of years, is marked by the movement of the sun through the zodiac constellations. The end of the Age of Pisces, symbolized by the fish, corresponds with significant events in history, such as the advent of Christianity. Understanding this astronomical pattern helps to make sense of the current state of the world and the impending culmination of all things.
Atlantis as a Counterfeit of Eden and a Precursor to the Future
The Atlantis narrative, with its pagan and cultic associations, presents an intriguing parallel to the biblical narrative. Atlantis can be seen as a counterfeit of Eden, a utopia that seeks to exist without the need for God. This counterfeit is a distorted vision of the future, foreshadowing the arrival of the Antichrist and his attempt to create a godlike state. As society hurtles towards a significant event or announcement, the concepts of Atlantis and the new Atlantis gain prominence, attracting interest from different perspectives including paganism, cults, and secret societies. The repetition of symbols and themes across history indicates the devil's influence, leaving a calling card that ties past, present, and future together.
In Episode 58, we welcome back author, podcaster, and theologian, Doug Van Dorn, to explore the theories and history of the mythical city of Atlantis. We dive into the popular and also little-known theories surrounding this mysterious ancient civilization. Did a major catastrophe sink this dynasty to the bottom of the ocean or is it buried under layers of sand? How is Atlantis connected to the biblical narrative, the dividing of the nations, and the fall of the Watchers? From the biblical texts to Plato and even to modern-day sources, the story of Atlantis has continued to fascinate, confound and endure across the eons of time.
