Gilbert House Fellowship #367: 1 Chronicles 11–12; Psalms 133, 106
February 08, 2023 18:11 - 1 hour - 84 MBDAVID ASCENDS to the throne in Jerusalem, and we recount the history of Israel, including some startling examples of warfare in the unseen realm, in the psalms accompanying our study this week. First, we discuss the Jebusites and the city of Jebus, which apparently was the area around the stronghold of Zion, which is the City of David—the area just south of the Temple Mount. “Jebus” means “threshing floor,” from a verb meaning “to tread down,” as in treading out the grain. In the ancient wo...
Gilbert House Fellowship #366: Psalms 103–104; 2 Samuel 5
January 29, 2023 18:25 - 1 hour - 75.5 MBDAVID’S FRAME OF MIND was apparently much better by the time he wrote these psalms, which are dated to about the time he was anointed king over all Israel. That took place at Hebron, but shortly thereafter he marched against the Jebusite city of Jerusalem and made that his capital city. We discuss the Jebusites, why we believe they were Hurrians (Horites), and why that’s relevant to our understanding of the supernatural battle for control of God’s har moʿed (“mount of assembly”). We also ...
Gilbert House Fellowship #365: 1 Chronicles 7–10; Psalm 102
January 29, 2023 18:10 - 1 hour - 66.9 MBGenealogy was important in ancient Israel. It was how the Israelites kept track of the heads of the tribes and who was eligible for service in the Temple. It also debunks the idea that the tribes of the northern kingdom were “lost” after the Assyrian invasion of 722 BC. This week, we study the records of six of the tribes, the family of Saul, and the genealogy of the returned exiles. Then we move to Psalm 102, titled, “A Prayer of One Afflicted, When he is Faint and Pours Out His Complaint...
Gilbert House Fellowship #364: 1 Chronicles 6; Psalms 81, 88, 92–93
January 15, 2023 17:41 - 1 hour - 69.2 MBOur ancestors 3,000 years ago dealt with the same pressures and problems we face today. This week, after reading the Chronicler’s list of the descendants of Levi, we study four psalms that illustrate the frustration of God that His people do not listen; the despair that comes from feeling separated from God like the demonic spirits of the Rephaim (Ps. 88:10: “departed” = rephaim); and the joy that results from acknowledging the sovereignty of God and praising His mighty works. Get our free...
Gilbert House Fellowship #363: Psalms 73, 77, 78
January 15, 2023 17:08 - 1 hour - 72.1 MBRemembering where we came from is the theme of this week’s study, three psalms of Asaph, a contemporary of David, that lament the trials of the faithful in contrast to the apparent success of the wicked. Although the unrighteous appear to prosper, Asaph remembers that envy of the arrogant is a stumbling block, and that we must remember the mighty works of God in saving not just his people, but each of us—and that a day is coming when He will “receive [us] to glory.” We also discuss some as...
Gilbert House Fellowship #362: 1 Chronicles 3–5
December 18, 2022 18:17 - 1 hour - 69.7 MBGENEALOGY WAS important to the Israelites. It was the basis for determining who was eligible to serve in the Temple and who was worthy to sit on the throne. This week, we study the descendants of David, emphasizing his role as the progenitor of the kings of Judah, and then the tribes of Judah, Simeon, Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh that lived east of the Jordan River. In the middle of the list of the Judahites, we find an anecdote about Jabez, two verses that were made famous ...
Gilbert House Fellowship #361: Psalms 43–45, 49, 84–85, 87
December 11, 2022 18:15 - 1 hour - 67.3 MBTHE SONS OF KORAH were responsible for baking and gatekeeping in the Temple. They were also singers, and this week’s readings appears to be songs of lament and hymns of praise and joy. Psalm 43 is interesting in that it was probably part of the 42nd psalm originally, which appears to put the psalmist in the north of Israel—specifically in the region of Mount Hermon, which, spiritually speaking, was the heart of enemy territory. Taken together, this collection of psalms contrasts the troubl...
Gilbert House Fellowship #360: 1 Chronicles 1–2
December 04, 2022 17:48 - 1 hour - 68 MBGENEALOGY IS IMPORTANT in the Bible. It not only establishes Jesus as the descendant of David, and thus the rightful king, it also shows that he was fully human during his time on Earth. This week, we discuss the genealogies at the beginning of the chronicles, which scholars believe were written sometime after the Jews returned from Babylon beginning in 538 BC. Get our free app!

Gilbert House Fellowship #359: Psalms 16, 19, 21
November 20, 2022 18:50 - 1 hour - 76.8 MBTHE PSALMS are filled with supernatural meaning that we often miss because we don’t have the worldview of the authors. This week, we dig into three psalms of David that appear, on first reading, related to his ascension to the kingship over all the tribes of Israel. They are that, but on a deeper level, we find references to the the unseen realm and those spirits who rejected God’s authority. For example, the “saints/holy people in the land” of Psalm 16:3 are, in our view, rebellious angel...
Gilbert House Fellowship #358: Psalms 6, 8–10, 14
November 13, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 67.8 MBTHE PSALMS we study this week are especially timely, coming as they do after a contentious midterm election in the United States. At the end of the day, regardless of how the vote turned out, God is still on His throne, and He, for one, was not surprised by the results. We also discuss a psalm not usually interpreted as messianic. Psalm 8 includes several verses quoted by the author of Hebrews: What is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Yet you ...

January 09, 2022 18:18 - 1 hour - 76.3 MBTHE CROSSING of the Jordan River by the Israelites was more than preparation for the conquest of Canaan. It represented God breaching the veil between the spirit realm and the land of the living. We discuss the mission of the two spies sent by Joshua and more examples of the “third day” in the Bible. It was on the third day after the spies visited the inn run by Rahab that the Israelites crossed the Jordan, and it was the third day after the circumcision of the men of Israel that the assaul...

Gilbert House Fellowship #328: Psalm 91; Joshua 1
December 12, 2021 18:01 - 1 hour - 66.1 MBPSALM 91 is often called the Soldiers’ Psalm, but the warfare it describes is spiritual rather than physical. The “terror,” “pestilence,” and “destruction” referenced in Psalm 91 were evil entities named Pachad, Deber, and Qeteb who were well-known to the ancient Canaanites. We also note that the “adder” of verse 13 is nachash, the “serpent” of Genesis 3, and “the serpent” of Psalm 91 is a tannin—a dragon! We also note God’s promise to deliver those who hold fast to Him in love, and we exp...

Gilbert House Fellowship #327: Deuteronomy 33–34
December 05, 2021 18:16 - 1 hour - 67.4 MBMOSES’ FINAL blessing on Israel was in the form of prophecies over the tribes, along with a reminder that when God led the people from Sinai, He was accompanied by “ten thousands of holy ones.” “Holy ones” is a term used elsewhere in the Old Testament, always in reference to angelic beings. Yahweh’s “march from the south” is a theme also noted in Habakkuk 3:3–7 and Judges 5:4–5. The references to Edom in those passages hint that Mount Sinai is located farther north than most people think. ...

November 21, 2021 17:01 - 1 hour - 71.4 MBMOSES’ LAST message was a warning—not just to the Israelites, but to the lesser elohim who had rebelled against the authority of God. We discuss Moses’ warning to the people against disobeying the commandments of God, the commissioning of Joshua, and the Song of Moses, which lays out the consequences of following other gods. Deuteronomy 32 makes it clear that these small-G “gods” are real and that not all of them are faithful. We explain why Deuteronomy 32:8 should read “sons of God” and n...

November 14, 2021 17:47 - 1 hour - 67.4 MBGOD’S COVENANT with Israel was conditional, with blessings for obedience to His commandments and curses for disobedience. Disobedience can be summarized as serving other elohim. The promises of harsh punishment for worshiping other gods may seem extreme to us, but the consequences of following those entities are actually worse than the awful things that God warned would befall Israel if the people failed to heed His warning—because those consequences are eternal. Here’s the link to the art...

November 07, 2021 18:31 - 1 hour - 68.8 MBGOD’S INSTRUCTIONS to the Israelites were surprisingly progressive for the time, prohibiting His people from engaging in predatory lending practices and providing for the poor, widows, and orphans (without a government agency to collect and redistribute wealth!). We discuss God’s command that oxen not be muzzled while they’re treading out grain and its interesting connection to the war of Gog and Magog in Ezekiel 38 and 39. And we talk about God’s command to build an altar on Mount Ebal, ov...

Today, we set aside our schedule of scripture to discuss the spirits and how they’ve convinced humanity that engaging in practices forbidden by God is not only harmless, but profitable and fun. We discuss Santa Muerte’s rise to prominence in Mexico, California’s schools embracing Aztec death cults as “ethnic studies,” and the symbolic and spiritual links between ancient Mesopotamia and the present day.

We discuss the cultural and spiritual contexts for a number of things declared sin by God.

Our modern banking system is a reversal of God’s will and the fulfillment of prophecy—the work of the rider on the black horse (Rev. 6:5–6). Financial servitude is not how God intended us to live. In our modern age of seven-year auto loans, twenty-year student loans, thirty-year mortgages, and perpetual credit card debt, the concept is almost unimaginable.

September 26, 2021 16:39 - 1 hour - 63 MBOUR GOD is “God of gods and Lord of lords.” This isn’t just hyperbole; it means that Yahweh is supreme among the denizens of the spirit realm. This week, we discuss Moses’ admonitions to the Israelites before they crossed the Jordan to dispossess the nations of Canaan, why Moses singled out the Anakim, and his warning to remember that God didn’t choose the Israelites as His inheritance because of their righteousness.

We explain why “the Lord is one” more accurately means that God is unique in substance. A better sense of the verse is, “The Lord is our God, the Lord alone,” or, “The Lord is our God, the Lord is unique.” We also discuss the importance of figuratively committing the Word of God to our hearts and minds, a...
