Watchman on the Wall

Join Micah Van Huss and Jon Ruetz for part 4 as we explore the strange connection between monsters, sacred places, forbidden knowledge, and mankind’s search for immortality. We discuss the Sphinx, Apollo and Python, the spirit of Python in Acts, the bronze serpent, and the Rod of Asclepius. Then we move into the World Tree, sacred mountains, heavenly bridges, and ancient stories of lost immortality, showing how these traditions may preserve echoes of Eden, the Tree of Life, and mankind’s lost access to the presence of God.

Join Micah Van Huss and Jon Ruetz for part 3 as we look at ancient memories of mankind’s fall and the worldwide Flood. We compare stories such as Pandora and Eve, examine traditions surrounding Lilith, and look at how ancient cultures remembered mankind’s decline from an earlier age. Then we turn to Flood traditions from around the world—including Mesopotamia, Greece, India, and Norse mythology—and ask whether these widespread stories preserve a shared memory of Noah’s Flood.

Join Micah Van Huss and Jon Ruetz for part 2 as they explore the strange world of ancient creation stories and the biblical accounts that may lie behind them. We discuss chaos monsters such as Leviathan and Rahab, the possibility of an earlier period in Earth’s history, and then move into Genesis 6—the sons of God, the Watchers, the Nephilim, and the origin of giants. We also examine the striking similarities between the biblical Watcher rebellion and Greek stories of the Titans, Tartarus, and Prometheus.

Join Micah Van Huss and Jon Ruetz as they discuss how many ancient mythologies may preserve distorted memories of real events recorded in Scripture. We discuss why similar stories of gods, giants, heavenly rebellion, the Flood, and lost immortality appear in cultures around the world, and why mythology should be examined through Scripture rather than treated as an equal source of truth.
