Eschaton: Recent Episodes
Joshua Wisley
Eschaton is a show for those interested in the great mysteries of the world around us. It challenges conventional wisdom and prevailing belief systems by attempting to offer fresh insight into our most important questions, both old and new. The mission of Eschaton is to create a revolution of thought, one individual at a time.
I want to sincerely thank each and every one of you who took the time to reach out via email or by leaving a review with feedback on your podcasting platform. I was blown away by the thoughtful responses that so many of you sent my way in the wake of the last episode. I'm grateful for each of you and I look forward to exploring more aspects of our mysterious world together in the future... Thank you!
This episode opens with an update on the request from our last episode and the future of Eschaton. Then, 10 minutes in, we revisit Dionysus with some additional insights and observations following a recent historical tour through Greece.

When Friedrich Nietzsche looked at the Greek pantheon he saw only two gods who were of any consequence... They were Apollo and Dionysus. In this episode we'll take a look at why Nietzsche may have been correct and how one of these two dieties may have sneakily become the most influential deity from the ancient world in modern times. When we closely we may see that the new gods are just the old gods in new costumes.

When cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, then a nation finds itself at risk. What afflicted the people in Brave New World was not that they were laughing instead of thinking, but that they did not know what they were laughing about and why they had stopped thinking. - Postman Follow Eschaton on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Joshua_L_Wisley

With Russia and Ukraine dominating the headlines once more we decided to revisit a topic that was the subject of some of our earliest episodes. While the geopolitical standoff between NATO and the former Soviet block has receeded from mainstream headlines in recent years, don't misinterpret that as improvement. The situation has only deteriorated further since we last covered it on Eschaton and the opportunities for a diplomatic solution appear to be quickly fading. Tune in for more!

To paraphrase Thoreau, we go to the wilderness to learn what it has to teach us, and not come to the end of our lives only to discover that we never truly lived. The natural world is the only universal oracle, equally accessible to all of mankind. Only in nature can the voice of God be heard. But what do we hear when we listen?

Metempsychosis. You may know it by a more popular term that comes with its fair share of theological baggage. In this episode we delve into the undeniable reality of the ancient phenomena and draw a link to the modern expression of natural religion.

The extra-terrestrial narrative is about to get turned on its head. Using ancient stories like the Sumerian myth of Oannes and Herodotus' account of the Hyperboreans, we look for fingerprints of intelligent non-human entities crossing paths with our ancestors in the distant past. The million dollar question... where did they come from? The answer may be even stranger than what we've been told.

If you expect the national angst in America to settle down in the months ahead, you haven't been paying attention.
"He who expects to be both ignorant and free expects what never has been and never can be."
We are standing on the precipice of one of the greatest inflection points in the history of this nation. Many of us have volunteered ourselves as useful idiots in the service of Left and Right wing agendas. This may be our last opportunity to avert our gaze from the shadow puppets that our government officials and media pundits asked us to focus on. If we don't know the real enemy we will never defeat them.

The long peace has held for 75 years. Global superpowers haven't faced-off in direct conflict since the end of WW2. But how long should we expect this fragile peace to hold? And what can the lessons of history teach us about our future? Inspired by Sid Meier's "Civilization", in this episode we will take a survey of the current geopolitical map and layout a logical scenario of how WW3 will unfold and the consequences it will bring with it... because it will come.

This is the most personal episode I've ever published but my hope is that it will also be the most relatable, and that in it you will find the strength you need to fight your own battle - The most important battle you will ever fight... the one against yourself. Chris McCandless called it "the climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual revolution."
...Here is my story.

Mark Twain said history doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes. At this moment we are rhyming with a melody from the past that lead to the most important revolution in world history... and no, I'm not talking about the American Revolution. What comes next is up to us as a collective. The stakes couldn't be higher.

In our first episode since the outbreak of Covid-19 we focus less on the virus itself and more on the systemic changes that are primed to come out of its wake. As Lenin said, "there are decades where nothing happens and weeks where decades happen." Whether we are aware of it yet or not, these unusual times we find ourselves in will likely be the catalyst for a world much different from the one we've known.

The Phoenician's were a people ahead of their time. We have them to thank for giving us the alphabet and mastery over the seas. But there is more that survives from their great legacy. In fragments and pieces, the oldest known history of the ancient world was written by one of their sons. It's tattered pieces are all that remains of the pre-Homeric era... the Age of Heroes. If he can be trusted as a reliable source, the Phoenician author who penned these words over 3,000 years ago may have had the key to unlocking a secret that has kept the human race in the dark ever since.
2020 started off with a bang (literally). In this episode we'll explore the greater context around the recent flashpoint between the United States and Iran. We will also analyze the bigger global picture that could foreshadow where we are heading in this new decade.

In 2017 it was revealed that the United States Congress, under the leadership of Senator Harry Reid, had been funding research into strange phenomena at the now famous Skinwalker Ranch in northern Utah. And while there is no shortage of media personalities offering their own explanation of the mystery behind this modern conspiracy, there are far fewer voices talking about the long and dark history that haunts this land. The Navajo and Ute peoples who have lived there for centuries are reluctant to share their insights with outsiders. But for those willing to do the research, there is enough information available to give us a glimpse into what has really been going on at Skinwalker Ranch. This episode is the product of that research. We hope you enjoy.

In this episode I am joined by the producer and one of the stars of the recently released documentary, "From Shock to Awe: A Journey of Hope and Transformation." The film offers an intimate and raw look at the journey of two combat veterans suffering from severe trauma as they abandon pharmaceuticals to seek relief through the mind-expanding world of psychedelics.
Producer, Mitch Schultz From an early age, Mitch Schultz’s curiosity of the unknown universe forged a path in storytelling and research. His work as a transmedia producer, experience designer, and educator explores the inherent connections among consciousness, nature, culture, and the evolving human mythology. You may be familiar with Mitch's earlier work, such as DMT: The Spirit Molecule. Mike Cooley Cooley was deployed three times — once to Afghanistan and twice to Iraq — but it wasn’t until he returned home in January of 2009 and found himself suddenly losing his temper with his young stepdaughter that he knew something was deeply wrong. www.fromshocktoawe.com If you enjoy the show leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts and consider becoming a sustainer by supporting us through Patreon or PayPal: www.joshuawisley.com/donate/ Contact the show: josh@joshuawisley.com Learn more: www.joshuawisley.com Follow us on social media @EschatonPodcast
Perhaps the most important episode we've ever released. Don't take this one lightly. Here, we take a long hard look at the source of modern man's discontent and lay a roadmap on how to fix it. In the history of Eschaton, we've never had a call to action for our audience quite like the one at the end of this episode. But for the transformation that we propose here to become a reality it will require action on the part of each of us.

How far back into history do you have to go before the world and its inhabitants become utterly unrecognizable to a modern human?
In this episode we look back at one of the only written accounts to tell about a time period that was unlike anything the earth had experienced before or since... at least until recently. This little known ancient story may hold the key to explaining the modern miracle of progress that humanity has experienced over the last few centuries. And more importantly, it may shed light on the destination we are rapidly heading toward. Tune in to learn more.

Bernie Taylor is an independent naturalist, thought leader and author whose research explores the mythological connections and biological knowledge among prehistoric, indigenous and ancient peoples. His latest book, Before Orion, is premised on Joseph Campbell’s hero's journey monomyth which is at the core of stories worldwide among indigenous peoples, the ancients, and our modern society. Taylor proposes that select cave paintings are fundamental pieces in the human journey to self-realization, the foundation of written language, and a record of biological knowledge that irrevocably impacted some of the artistic styles, religious practices, and stories that are still with us. Before Orion will change the idea of who you think you are.

World changing technological discoveries don't come along very often, and when they do the full weight of their impact isn't always felt immediately. Take the automobile, the cell phone, and the internet as modern examples. Well, one of these world changing advancements is standing in our front lawn. Scientists are still in the early stages of grasping it's full potential but the excitement is palpable. It won't be long before this medical discovery walks through the door into our homes and becomes a central part of the human experience... Get ready to meet CRISPR.

This was just as true in Elizabethan England as it was in Antiquity, and it remains true today. But what goes on behind the closed doors of high society isn't always predictable and mundane.

"The bank is somethin' else than men. It happens that every man in a bank hates what the bank does, and yet the bank still does it. The bank is somethin' more than men. I tell ya... it's the monster. Men made it, but they can't control it."

The theory that humanity was visited by extraterrestrial entities in our ancient past is one that has been gaining momentum in recent years. Over the past decade the ancient alien hypothesis has been embraced by television networks and popular culture alike. This newfound popularity has piqued the interest of an entire generation of truth seekers. But we should remember that there's another narrative, often overlooked, that tells of non-human entities who visited earth in the distant past. It's a narrative that's no less mysterious or supernatural, and one that may be critical for properly understanding the corruption of the modern world.
Many of our earliest known civilizations wrote about these beings. The Akkadians called them "Apkallu", The Sumerians referred to them as "Abgal", to the Babylonians they were "Annunaki", and to the Hebrews they were known as "The Watchers" and "The Sons of God." But who were these ancient visitors and why are they so important?
To answer those questions and more, I'm joined by the frequently referenced author and scholar, Dr. Michael S. Heiser. He's an expert on ancient Near Eastern languages and has spent a large portion of his career researching the phenomena known as The Watchers.
Our conversation ranges from the origin and significance of these entities to Dr. Heiser's views on polytheism, divine plurality, and the idea that monotheism evolved over time. We also discuss the work of Zecharia Sitchin as it relates to the ancient astronaut hypothesis. You won't want to miss this episode!

Brian Godawa returns to the show to continue a fascinating discussion we had earlier this year about Preterism and the likelihood that the majority of "end times" prophecies mentioned in the Book of Revelation, which millions of people around the world expect to be fulfilled in the future, have already been realized in the past. And if that's not enough to pique your interest, there's more!
We also talk about the mysterious entities known as "The Watchers" or "The Sons of God", who are mentioned in mythological texts throughout the ancient Middle East and Mesopotamia. We try to gain a better understanding of the role they played in ancient cosmology and whether or not they have any influence in the world today.
Additionally, we get Brian's perspective on whether or not prophecies can have a "double fulfillment" or if history shows us that they're always one and done. Then, to round out the episode, he shares his thoughts on the identity of the "two witnesses" mentioned in chapter 11 of the Book of Revelation. It's an interpretation that I had never heard before and one that you'll want to chew on for a while!
You can find all of Brian's work, including the latest book, "Remnant", at godawa.com

What did the ancient Hebrew people have in common with their Canaanite neighbors to the North? Well, a lot more than you've been told! History doesn't happen in a bubble, and neither does the advancement of a civilization.
I'm joined today by Dr. Stephen Andrew Missick. He's an Aramaic scholar who has spent a significant amount of time studying the belief systems and cultural practices of the ancient people groups who once inhabited Mesopotamia and the Levant. You don't want to miss what he has to say about the connection between the civilization that wrote the Bible and the people who lived next door. This is important information that you aren't likely to hear anywhere else!

Thomas Jefferson once said, "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.” But there came a point in time when these words were transformed into more than just a dire warning... they became a commentary about our new reality.
My good friend David Greenockle is back to help us understand the significance of America's greatest ideological pivot and more importantly, what it means for you and your family, since 1913 continues to have more influence on day-to-day life than any of us realize.

My guest today, Greg, is the creator and host of Covert Cabal; a YouTube channel that focuses on military analysis and comparison. He just started producing content in February of this year and he already has over 3 million views! When you visit his channel you'll understand why. I invited him to Eschaton to be our color commentator and guide as we survey several key flashpoints around the globe that are shaping the world of tomorrow and redefining the power structure that we're all familiar with. From North Korea and President Trump's threat of 'Fire and Fury" to China's new Monroe Doctrine and the race for control of the Arctic, Greg helps us move beyond the headlines and distinguish between reality and distraction. I had a lot of fun recording this episode and learned quite a bit along the way. I'm confident your impressions will be the same.

Today's episode is an attempt at describing the indescribable... You'll have a better idea of what that means after listening, but in summary: There was once a common point of reference that all of humanity could agree upon, regardless of our differences in creed and philosophy. Somewhere along the way we began to lose sight of that reference point... but every once in a while it comes back around and hits us right between the eyes with a not-so-subtle reminder of its message. August 21, 2017 was one of those reminders.

You're probably familiar with the old cliche attributed to Benjamin Franklin:"If you fail to plan you are planning to fail!" Individuals don't heed this advice in equal measure. Some take it to heart and develop a roadmap for themselves from which to live by. Others don't plan at all and their lives are directed by whichever way the wind blows. Well, the same is true of nation-states. Some of the current geopolitical power players have a precise plan for the next 30 years while others don't even appear to have a coherent plan beyond tomorrow. In today's episode we take a closer look at how the heavyweights are preparing to secure their dominance over the long-haul... or not.

When Donald J. Trump was elected 45th president of the United States there was a quiet optimism that the strained relations between Moscow and Washington might begin to improve. However, in recent days the United States congress has voted to increase sanctions against Russian corporations, despite a reluctance from their European allies to do the same. In a swift response, Vladimir Putin announced that 750 US diplomats and staff would be expelled from Moscow immediately. It appears that the hopes for a diplomatic reset are over.
What does this continued souring of relationships mean for the broader geopolitical picture? And more importantly... what happens when diplomacy fails? Tune in to this update for more information!

I'm joined today by author and screenwriter, Brian Godawa. Brian's latest novel, "Tyrant: Rise of the Beast", is the first release in a new trilogy called "Chronicles of the Apocalypse."
We spend the first 15 minutes of this episode talking about the new book before diving deep into a broader discussion about biblical prophecy and how to properly understand it in the modern age. Whether or not you believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, if you have an interest in prophecy or are curious to know what the ancient authors meant by the "end times", this is a conversation you won't want to miss!
There's a lot to unpack in this episode. For example, what did Jesus mean when he said "You will not make it through all the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes" (Matthew 10:23)? And what does the Bible mean when it says God is "Coming on the clouds" (Daniel 7:13; Revelation 1:7)? I'd wager that the truth of the matter is a lot different than what you'll hear in most churches on Sunday morning! This is just a small sample of what Brian and I discuss in today's episode.

My guest today is Stephen Kavalkovich, host of "Rescue the Rescuer" and a recovering addict with a powerful story to tell.
Today's episode will hit a personal note with most of our listeners since nearly all of us either know somebody who struggles with drug addition or have experienced it ourselves. At first glance addiction and its effects on society might not seem like a topic befitting Eschaton but as you'll hear in the introduction to this episode, the eschaton isn't just about "last things" or "the end times." It's much more than that - it's about the restoration of all things to their perfect design and original intent.
As a group of people who look to a brighter future and a better way to live on this blue orb we call home, we can never get there without curing the ills that have infected our society and devastated so many of our families. This is no longer an issue that is isolated to those on the margins of society or the poor and overlooked. With the rise of the opioid epidemic in recent years, which has wreaked havoc on middle-class white America, we've begun to see how every social class is vulnerable to addiction. Steve's story and insights are intended to serve as a lifeline for those who feel like they're drowning or or have been forgotten by their peers. This episode is a reminder that each of us is our brother's keeper and that the only way we rise is by rising together.

Man's search for utopia has always required a crutch to lean on. In our modern age we lean on innovation and technological breakthroughs to alleviate the ills of society. But what if we're looking in the wrong direction? What if the solutions to our problems lie in the past and not in the discoveries of the future?
As we discuss in this episode, sometimes you have to go backwards to move forward. And just as important, you must realize how much power has been given to you as an individual to influence change. We each have a creative spark that sets us apart from the animal kingdom. By contemplating our own existence and manifesting our dreams into reality, the human race has arranged the world in our own likeness. But too many of us forego our God given ability for creativity and pass off the responsibility to other men who are all too happy to take it. This episode is a call to action, a reminder to remember our primary responsibility. Or do you not know that "you are gods?" (Ps. 82:6, John 10:34)

Have you ever found yourself neck deep in a passionate debate about creation vs. evolution, the age of the earth, or the origins of the universe? If you've spent any time on the internet, I bet the answer to that question is "yes." Well, what if I told you that the ancient text that sits at the center of that debate (The Book of Genesis) was never intended by its authors to be used as a scientific accounting of how the universe came to be? What if the authors had something else in mind when they wrote those famous verses... something just as earth shattering and just as important? Before you get your pitch forks ready, take a few minutes to listen to this episode. I think that by the end you'll find something that you may not have noticed before.

In today's episode we explore one of the oldest and most widely experienced unexplained phenomena in the world. Sleep paralysis has gone by many names over the centuries: "The Night Mare", "Old Hag Syndrome", "Being Ridden by the Witch", etc. But when we strip away the most extravagant speculations about the nature of these surreal encounters, what remains? Is something supernatural going on here, or are the origins more terrestrial than they appear? Tune it to find out!

Website coming soon! Stay tuned for more updates about the show.
Humans are great story tellers. Our history is riddled with epic tales of heroic conquests and cataclysmic disasters. But why is it that so many of our time-tested stories have different versions that seem to contradict one another? And when different cultures add their own unique spin to the retelling of the same historical event, how do we know which version is reliable? In this episode we wrestle with those questions and more as we examine the origins of one of the most popular stories of all-time: the story of the Great Flood. You'll want to buckle your seat belt for this one... it may rock the boat (how's that for a pun?... I'll see myself out).

We kick-off today's episode with a little bit of California dreamin' before diving into our topic... You won't want to miss this one. It'll be relevant to all of our listeners - believers and skeptics alike!
Have you ever found yourself neck deep in a passionate debate about creation vs. evolution, the age of the earth, or the origins of the universe? If you've spent any time on the internet, I bet the answer to that question is "yes." Well, what if I told you that the ancient text that sits at the center of that debate (The Book of Genesis) was never intended by its author to be used as a scientific accounting of how the universe came to be? What if the authors had something else in mind when they wrote those famous verses... something just as earth shattering and just as important? Before you get your pitch forks ready, take a few minutes to listen to this episode. I think that by the end you'll find something that you may not have noticed before.

For some, it's the new religion. For others, it's the end of the world as we know it. But regardless of where you stand, it's the fast approaching curve we're all about to encounter. And make no mistake... it is coming. Much like the Industrial Revolution, the Technological Singularity will transform the fabric of modern society and the human experience in ways that we can't fully comprehend. Tune in to this episode to learn more about the brave new world that's closer than any of us realize... in fact, it's already at the door.

In part two of Colder War we dive into the mysteries surrounding thermonuclear technology and the devastating implications of a modern conflict. We also examine whether or not ancient authors had anything to say about modern weaponry and its destructive capabilities. Is it possible that our ancestors from millenia gone by had their own up close and personal encounter with the explosive power of atomic weapons? All that and more on this episode of Eschaton.

Today we introduce the most important issue of our time.
Poverty, disease, climate change... all of these concerns become irrelevant if we as a species fail to keep this one issue contained - the threat of thermonuclear war.
In this episode we will set the stage for our current crisis by explaining the brief history of how we arrived at a place where total annialation is never more than a button press away. Is the geopolitical situation more dangerous now than it was at the height of the Cold War? Has humanity become desensitized to our ever present danger? If so, what does this mean for the future of our race? All of that and more on this episode of Eschaton.

In today's episode we examine the relatively recent shift toward an interdependent global economy and what that means for the future. Could a new financial system successfully bring about the New Order of the Ages that our forefathers pined for? If so, what does that mean for you and I?

In this episode, we examine a popular contemporary teaching within mainline evangelical Christian churches: the idea that a Jewish temple needs to be built in the Holy Land as a prerequisite to the second coming of Jesus Christ. In fact, some teachers of End Times would go so far as to say that the biblical prophecies about the return of the Messiah CANNOT be fulfilled until a physical temple is erected in Jerusalem once again. We will look at what the Hebrew bible has to say about this subject and whether or not there are any clues in the Christian New Testament to help us properly understand and interpret this claim.

In this episode we will examine the theological writings and predictions of Sir Isaac Newton... yes, that Isaac Newton! While he is best known as one of the world's foremost scientists and the man who established the Law of Universal Gravitation, Newton was also a spiritualist and religous thinker who wrote thousands of pages on subjects like alchemy and biblical prophecy.
Today we will discuss a specific prediction that has been credited to Sir Isaac Newton and has grown in popularity in recent years. This is the claim that the world will end in the year 2060. What is so significant about this year and why did Newton write about it? Tune in to this episode of Eschaton to find out!
