The Idols We Keep: A Torah Beginners Guide

Featured Guest Writer | New | Torah 101

When we think of idols what usually comes to mind is the golden calf, asherah poles on the hills rising out of the mist, and the fiery furnaces of Moloch.

But, if we are really honest with ourselves, we can find little idols hiding in our lives, obscure and anything but obvious. And I don’t mean the little Buddha statue your great aunt has on a shelf amongst all her other knick-knacks – although that is one too.

What I’m talking about is anything that we rely on, care for or love more than YAHUAH, our Creator and heavenly Father.

Is YAHUAH your top priority or do other things come first in your life?

I know I’m often guilty of this. I find myself scrolling on Pinterest instead of reading my Bible, complaining to a friend instead of praying. Forgetting to tell Him how grateful I am for everything He has given me.

Do you make sure to “pray ceaselessly”, and study your Bible daily? Do you spend hours in front of the TV or lost in video games? Do you rely on your money or your job rather than relying on Him for provision? Are your family more important to you than your – and their – Creator?

Do we put our own wants above the needs of others or the commands of the Most High?

Can we give everything and anything in our lives up and follow Him?

Modern life has given us so many opportunities to become idolaters, and if we’re not very careful we will most assuredly fall into this trap!

Let’s take a look at what the Word can tell us about idols, and what YAHUAH thinks of them.

IN the summer of 2019, I was seated in the wine cellar of a walled Medieval town high above the Dordogne Valley of France, not far from Sarlat-la-Canéda, making phone calls, writing reports. I have given this story in other places and it appears as though you’re about to hear it again. Rob Skiba is a name you that you might be familiar with. Though he had made a name for himself as a Nephilim researcher, more recently Rob had taken a dive into the deep end of the pool via flat earth research. The recorded interviews I conducted between he and Rick Hummer, a fellow flat earth investigator and close friend of his, was published while still occupying that very wine cellar. Read all about it. Chicago Is Not a Mirage.

Word quickly spread. Within a few short weeks, dozens of flat earth researchers began accepting my invite for a private interview, if not a series of interviews. From a 17th-century tower built by King Louis XIV, and with a stunning view of the Alps, I sat down with Robbie Davidson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conferences, conducting multiple sessions. While staying in Dumfries, Scotland, David Weiss agreed to take part in the interviews, as did Bob Knodel of Globebusters. There were others. But when I asked the interviewees to discuss the moments that shaped their lives, among the many PSYOPs, false flag attacks, and hoaxes that were discussed, only these men committed commentary to the false 9/11 narrative.

The resulting recordings ballooned into The Unexpected Cosmology, a book which became a website and was even intended as an anthology. And of course, the following discourse was originally a chapter. It was Walt Disney who stated, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Those sentiments remain applicable here as well. American Sensationalism: The 9/11 Interviews was always intended to be expanded upon with the inclusion of new researchers. So I’m sorry to say the project became stagnant during the Covid-19 psychodrama. I took a break to tackle other projects. We lost Rob Skiba. Rob offered hours of private conversation regarding his life but we never got around to the big one. 9/11. It was in the cards. Sadly, Bob Knodel died soon afterwards. Voices are being squeezed from an entire generation. Gnosis passes with them.

In the aftermath, the FE community became fractured. People began going their separate ways. Robbie Davidson, among a noted few others who were interviewed for the project, got up and left the movement altogether. It is not my intent to erase his or the contributions of others if only brief. They came, they went, their testimonies remain.

The original vision may have hit roadblocks but it is not forgotten. I expanded this paper a few years later to include testimony from author Pauly Hart, a dear friend of mine. I had wanted to continue that trend every year thereafter but you know how it goes. For the 25th anniversary of the attack I have redirected my efforts to its first large scale expansion, including Andrew Hoy and Darrin Geisinger into the mix. Perhaps others will lend their experiences to the recorder in time.

The following is their report.
