Ever wondered what was going on between Malachi and Matthew? In this episode, we crack open the hidden history of the Maccabees with bestselling author and filmmaker Brian Godawa. From cosmic mountains to divine conspiracies, Brian walks us through the supernatural war behind the war—the Watchers, the Seleucids, the Hasmoneans, and yes, even Heracles. This isn’t just history—it’s theology, mythology, and gritty rebellion rolled into one epic story. If you've ever questioned why the Apocrypha matters or what angels were doing in ancient battles, don’t skip this one.
