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.

I was not able to put together a new episode for today, so I am re-sharing a popular episode from the past. Look for a new episode next week that dives into Luke 21 and Jesus' prophecy of the "sky monsters."

In today's episode: Something really strange happened when Jesus was being arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane.

This is the night that Jesus was put on trial, and the next day He was nailed to the cross. So there’s a lot going on. it’s a very heavy section of scripture. And there’s one detail that’s only recorded in one of the four Gospels.

Mark 14:51 and 52 say

51 And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen cloth about his body. And they seized him, 52 but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked.

Now if you’re a normal, well-adjusted person, you probably read a strange verse like that, you say: “well that’s weird”- and then you just move along with your Bible reading.

But the listeners of this podcast are not normal, well-adjusted people.

So let’s figure out today what’s up with the naked man who shows up in the garden when Jesus was arrested.

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

Turn to Mark 14, and let’s get weird.
