Derek Gilbert, an author and scholar known for his exploration of ancient deities, joins the discussion to illuminate the connections between chaotic divine figures and their roles in biblical narratives. He examines the transformation of ancient gods like Milcom and Molech in Hebrew culture, revealing how these historical contexts shape our understanding of scripture. The dialogue also delves into the evolution of Satan, portraying him not just as an adversary but as a powerful force within the cosmic conflict—challenging listeners to reconsider traditional interpretations of divinity.

Derek Gilbert returns to Blurry Creatures. An author, researcher, and host of Skywatch TV and A View From the Bunker Podcast, Derek joins us to talk about the biblical "valley of the shadow of death" and the ancient beliefs surrounding it and the afterlife. This is a real geographical place and Derek unpacks its location and significance. Where did Jesus get baptized? What does this valley symbolize? Who built the monuments to the dead that fill the valley? Once again we go full speed into the historical and spiritual aspects of death, the Abyss, and all things blurry with the incomparable Derek Gilbert.
