Coming up on today’s edition of Weird Stuff in the Bible, we have an interview with Remnant Radio’s Michael Miller. He’s going to help us answer the question: Can Christians be Possessed by Demons?

Remnant Radio is a podcast with three pastors who teach on spiritual gifts and how to operate in them within the church.

What I like about Remnant Radio is that they (1) have first-hand experience in the things they talk about, and (2) they don’t get kooky about it. They keep things very grounded and biblical.

Normally on these episodes I start by introducing a Bible passage that’s bizarre, perplexing, or just plain weird. But we are reaching a milestone of 100 episodes, and I thought I would just take a step back this time and tell you the story of why I’m such a weirdo.

Why I like digging into the weird stuff in the Bible.

Why I think the weird stuff in the Bible matters.

And it all starts with a crazy experience I had in college when my friend got possessed by a demon and it started speaking to me.

Because from then on, my life was never the same. My Christian walk was never the same. And I probably wouldn’t be doing this podcast right now if it wasn’t for the story that I’m going to share today.

And just a warning in case you’ve got any kids around, and also in case the episode title didn’t clue you in, the story is a little dark and scary. Like, it literally happens on Friday the 13th. But if you think you can handle it, grab some popcorn and let’s get weird.

I had three listeners send me the same video in a 24-hour span. Which means you have my attention. And they all thought this would be right in line with the podcast here, which means it’s gonna get weird.

And what was the video? I’ll play it for you later, but this video claims that in the end times- as Jesus describes them in Luke 21- there will be great signs in the heavens. And that the Greek terms for these signs in the heavens can be translated as monsters coming out of the sky.

In fact, I’ll quote it for you from the New King James:

Luke 21:11

there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven

Is this true? Did Jesus prophesy that the end times will see sky monsters?

What are these signs in the heavens that will perplex and terrify the people?

Are they UFOs? The third kind? Did Jesus just spoil the next Avengers movie?

I find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore why it’s in the Bible.

Turn to Luke 21, and let’s get weird.
