In this episode of Sword & Staff: Revenant, host Coleman Barbour unpacks the rising Little Season Theory - a grand unifying conspiracy claiming Christ returned around AD 70, reigned for a hidden millennium (rebranded as the Dark Ages), and that we now live in Satan’s Little Season - a brief deception after Revelation 20. Explore the post-COVID hermeneutic of suspicion that fuels it, its roots in premillennial dispensational literalism, and how partial preterism reads the Olivet Discourse and Revelation differently. Learn the core tenets, why the theory conflicts with historic creeds, and how inconsistent biblical interpretation can lead sincere seekers astray. A clear, charitable primer for anyone navigating end-times claims, conspiracy culture, and faithful Christian eschatology. Stay tethered.

Before the Blues, there was Legba. Before Legba, there was the slave trade. And before the slave trade scattered the Yoruba and the Fon across the Atlantic, there were shrines at every threshold and a god who controlled every crossroads. In this episode of Pagan America, we follow that god from West Africa to Haiti, from Haiti to New Orleans, from New Orleans to the Mississippi Delta — and ask why his sacred numbers went viral in 2025. This is not a metaphor. This is theology.

Part 3 concludes our series on Jewish obsession in American cults by exposing the origins and theology of the Black Hebrew Israelites, showing how two ex-slaves in the 1890s independently claimed African Americans are the true Lost Ten Tribes of Israel.  From Philadelphia—the historic hub of Rosicrucian mystics, Prince Hall Freemasonry, and religious tolerance—emerged William Saunders Crowdy (Church of God and Saints of Christ, 1896) and Frank Cherry (Church of the Living God, 1886). Fueled by visions, Masonic ritual influences, and Deuteronomy 28 “curse” interpretations of the slave trade, they taught that blacks alone are God’s chosen, salvation is ethnic rather than by faith, and (in extreme One West camps) whites and modern Jews are Edomites destined for destruction. We trace the Kabbalistic roots of their “Shekinah/Black Woman” doctrine and warn against reactionary racial myths on all sides. True Israel is defined by faith in Christ alone.

Part 2 of Jewish obsession in American cults examines Mormonism’s occult origins and its fixation on Israelite lineage, contrasting it with dispensationalist errors about God’s people.  This episode of Sword and Staff: Revenant dives into Joseph Smith’s mystical practices, including seer stones, magic circles, and alleged necromancy tied to the golden plates’ discovery. We explore how Smith’s treasure-seeking, rooted in folk magic common to grimoires like the Key of Solomon, shaped Mormonism’s claim of divine revelation through supposed Israelite descendants in the Americas. The Book of Mormon’s narrative of the Nephites and Lamanites ties into this obsession, falsely legitimizing Mormon doctrine via blood lineage to Israel. We contrast this with biblical truth, emphasizing that God’s people are defined by faith, not ethnicity, and warn against heresies exploiting Jewish identity.  Tune in for part 3 where we look at the Black Hebrew Israelites.

UFOs, UAPs, and the Hebrew Zodiac…how are they related? Journey into the mind of the mysterious White Owl as he maps out their relationship to the unseen starting from the encounters of Chris and Ryan Bledsoe and their interactions with the goddess Hathor. A note of correction from White Owl: "Josephus actually says that the temple curtain contains a depiction of the heavens except for the signs of the zodiac. He connects the 12 loaves and other things in the temple to the planets and the zodiac. The point still stands but it is a little inaccurate."
