Summary

Throughout history, cultures worldwide have worshipped a vast array of deities—each carrying unique stories, symbols, and powers. But what if these gods share more than myths and rituals? In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with author and scholar Derek Gilbert to explore the connections between ancient deities and their chaotic underpinnings. From Mesopotamia’s storm gods to the biblical adversary, Satan, Derek uncovers how chaos and rebellion have shaped our understanding of divinity. Was Satan more than a mere adversary—was he the storm god of destruction himself? Join us as we delve into the historical and spiritual intersections of chaos, divine warfare, and the battle for creation and who ultimately sits on the throne above them all.

0:29.9	Jesus is accused in Matthew 12 of casting out demons by the power of Bielzable, which is

0:40.2	if Satan casts out demons by his own power, how will Satan's kingdom stand? So two important
0:46.1	pieces of information. Number one, Satan is Bale, the storm god, which means Satan is Zeus, Jupiter,
0:53.4	Thor. Number two is that Satan's got a kingdom, which means Satan is Zeus, Jupiter, Thor.
0:59.9	Number two is that Satan's got a kingdom, which is not how he's depicted in the Old Testament at all.
1:08.3	And of course we see in Revelation that he is the seven-headed red dragon who is leading a rebellion against God, Revelation Chapter 12.
1:13.1	So something happened where this entity, thus Satan more properly, he somehow gained power. And you see this in the changes amongst the pantheons of
