The incomparable Derek Gilbert returns to Blurry Creatures. An author, researcher, and host of Skywatch TV and A View From the Bunker Podcast, Derek joins us this week to expose and expound upon the ancient's worldview and beliefs around the afterlife. Where do we go when we die? What did the ancient Hebrews believe? What did ancient cultures believe? What does the Bible actually say about the world after this? After touching on this topic multiple times in previous episodes, we go full speed into the historical and spiritual aspects of death, Hades, Sheol, and the Abyss. This episode is dedicated to a member and friend of the show, Korey Guidry, who lost his battle with cancer last week. Thanks for listening to the show.
