Year jo straight from the broadcast studio, and then the stating,

00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:11.000
this ain't no pret sound story. So as prophetic encrypt
3
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:13.279
the signals from the saddles of the party, we did
4
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:17.320
where the trop got secret snow parted, microphone alchemists scriptures

00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:20.399
with a twist peat the frequency seeds in the midst
6
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:24.039
we dropped fass like plagues revelations in the catus, broadcasting
7
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:28.199
truth while they trapped in surveillans wisdom with a watchman's blade,

00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.600
through the fault lines of time. We ain't mainstream, We
11
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:41.000
ain't just stream safer with the prophets to code the dreams.
12
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:43.679
So with you trom in better guards to mind is
13
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:51.600
broadcasting seeds and were breaking the design? Yeah, yeah, yo yo,
14
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:57.920
straight from the broadcast steady.
15
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.359
You ever walk into a room and feel like the
16
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:10.400
air is watching you? Not just heavy aware? Tonight we
17
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:15.920
are stepping into one of those rooms. Welcome to broadcasting Seeds,
18
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:20.799
supernatural Sunday. I'm benettantin in. This is a story out
19
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:25.120
of one Samuel where the floorboards of reality, creak a
20
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:29.359
little where a king's bargain in the dark, and where
21
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.319
a dead prophet shows up to deliver a message no
22
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:40.799
one wants to hear. Here's the lay of the land. Saul,
23
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:50.200
Israel's first king, started strong, and then he drifted pride, fear, compromise.
24
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:56.239
He breaks trust with God and something breaks back. The
25
00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:00.920
text says, an evil spirit tormented him, not a bad mood,
26
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:07.120
not a sad boy playlist torment. And into that room
27
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:11.919
walks a kid with a harp, David, future giant killer.
28
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:17.280
He plays, and the spirit loosens its grip. It is
29
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:22.360
not just music. It is warfare with strings. Even if
30
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:26.520
you have never cracked open a Bible, you know the
31
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:31.000
feeling of the right song at the right moment. It
32
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:35.639
can change the weather in your head. Now in Saul's court,
33
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.759
it calmed the storm you could not see. Read it
34
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:45.879
for yourself in one Samuel sixteen. But tonight's headline is
35
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:50.800
not the harp, It is the midnight Errand Saul, cut
36
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:55.759
off from clear answers, disguises himself and hunts down a
37
00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:01.000
medium in a town called Endoor. The law he swore
38
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:05.439
to uphold says, do not go there. He goes there anyway.
39
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:12.280
The witch expects a seance, smoke, theatrics, the usual cottage
40
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:18.560
industry spirits. What happens instead scares her. The prophet Samuel
41
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:24.039
appears real enough to speak, sharp enough to judge, and
42
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:27.680
his words hit like a verdict. That account is in
43
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:33.120
one Samuel twenty eight. Here is why this matters to us.
44
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:39.479
In our world of podcasts and push notifications. Power always
45
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:47.360
seeks a shortcut. When anxiety spikes, people look back. People
46
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:54.840
look for back doors to certainty, taro TikTok, oracles, political messiahs,
47
00:03:55.080 --> 00:04:00.520
secret files. Saul is the ancient blueprint for that scramble.
48
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:05.520
He had access to truth and still chose a shadow channel.
49
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.520
This story asks a hard question when you are desperate,
50
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:15.039
which voice do you follow? And what does it cost
51
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:19.560
you to listen? Tonight, we're going to pull this apart
52
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:24.560
in three acts. First, the anatomy of Salt's spiral and
53
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:30.040
why worship changes atmospheres. Second, the spiritual black market and
54
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:35.480
what necromancy meant in the ancient Near East. Third, the
55
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:42.560
mechanics of the unseen and what this rare, terrifying moment
56
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:47.480
reveals about boundaries between the living and the dead. No fluff,
57
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:53.839
no sanctimony, just straight talk scripture and a flashlight pointed
58
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:58.040
at the edges. If you're new here, welcome to the table.
59
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:00.839
If this episode hits you, you and the Ribs do
60
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:05.120
me a favor. Like the show, Leave a review and
61
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:09.079
share it with one friend who loves high strangeness with
62
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.720
a Bible in one hand and a burrito in the other.
63
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:16.319
That is how this show grows, and how these conversations
64
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:29.079
keep moving. Ready to slip into indoor after dark. Section one,
65
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:35.120
The Anointed and the Tormented. Saul's Descent from Favor. All right,
66
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:40.040
let's start with Saul, Israel's golden boy turned ghost story.
67
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.279
When he first took the throne, he looked like the
68
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.600
kind of guy who basically had it all together. He
69
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:54.519
was tall, handsome, divinely chosen. If Saul had a LinkedIn
70
00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.720
first King of Israel would have been pinned at the
71
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:04.720
top of a glowing endorsement from the Almighty himself. But
72
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:09.600
then the wheels came off, Pride slipped in, fear joined
73
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.519
the party, and before long the spirit of the Lord,
74
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:20.040
that sacred presence that once guided him, it departed in
75
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:25.120
its place. That the text says, an evil spirit from
76
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:31.800
the Lord tormented him. That's just not poetic language, it's terrifying.
77
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.759
It's the biblical equivalent of your divine WiFi being cut
78
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:43.680
off and replaced with a demonic signal. Now we don't
79
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:47.120
know what the spirit looked like, but we can see
80
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:53.839
what it did. Saul became very paranoid, erratic, and angry.
81
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.480
He was the kind of guy who'd throw a spirit
82
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.199
at you one day and asked you to play him
83
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:03.560
a song next. And that's where David comes in. Young
84
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:08.519
David calm, steady handed. When he strummed that harp, the
85
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:14.240
atmosphere changed, the darkness loosened its grip. It's as if
86
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:19.839
sound itself became a weapon, like the right frequency could
87
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:25.279
rattle the chains of oppression. Modern SIUs actually does back
88
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:32.560
that up. Certain frequencies affect the mood, behavior, even brain waves. Worship,
89
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.920
it turns out, isn't just about lyrics and rhythm. It's
90
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:43.240
about resonance, tuning your heart to the same frequency as heaven.
91
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.839
But here's the bigger takeaway. Saul didn't lose his crown
92
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.720
because the politics or poor military strategy. He lost it
93
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:56.639
because he stopped listening to the right voice. When fear
94
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:03.720
drowns out faith, even kings. The spirit that haunted him
95
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:07.519
was more than a haunting. It was a mirror, a
96
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:12.279
reflection of what happens when power replaces obedience and pride
97
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:16.959
replaces purpose. So as we move deeper into the story,
98
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:22.680
remember this. Sometimes the battle isn't out there in the world,
99
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:29.240
it's in the static between your ears. Saul's story reminds
100
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:33.600
us that spiritual warfare isn't about demons hiding in the dark.
101
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:37.480
It's about what we invite in when we stop walking
102
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:50.559
in the light. Section two Forbidden Channels necromancy, mediums, and
103
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:56.559
the spiritual black Market. Now let's step into the shadows,
104
00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.919
the part of the story that makes even seasoned feel
105
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:07.720
logens squirm. Picture it. Saul is desperate, disguised, sneaking through
106
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.480
the night. The same man who once purged Israel of
107
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:16.840
witches and mediums now knocking on one's door. He's banned
108
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:21.159
them under divine law, But when God stops answering his calls,
109
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:26.039
he breaks his own rules. Now that's desperation, the kind
110
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:30.960
that makes people barter with darkness just to feel in control. Again,
111
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:38.480
the witch of Endor wasn't there, wasn't your Hollywood stereotype.
112
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:42.679
She wasn't stirring a cauldron or throwing frog's legs into
113
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:48.440
the fire. In the ancient Near East, necromancers were seen
114
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:53.840
as spiritual brokers. People who claimed to access the underworld
115
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.159
for messages from the dead, think of it as a
116
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.000
black market hotline to the bed. Archaeologists have even found
117
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:09.399
ritual pits and urns used to call up ancestral spirits.
118
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:13.799
In those days, summoning the dead was a form of divination,
119
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:18.399
an attempt to get privileged knowledge from a spirit realm.
120
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:23.759
It was forbidden because it bypassed divine authority. God said,
121
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:30.559
don't knock on that door, and humanity predictably said, let's
122
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:34.519
just see what happens. When the Witch of Endor calls
123
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:41.200
up Samuel, something truly bizarre happens. The text says, she screens,
124
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:47.000
not in control, but in terror. Whatever appeared was not
125
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:52.399
her doing. Scholars have argued for centuries this was it
126
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:57.919
really Samuel? Was it a demon mimicing mimicking him? Or
127
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.000
did God override her say on and send the real
128
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:06.279
profit back for one final mic drop of judgment. Whatever
129
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:11.559
the case, the message hits hard. Saul, Tomorrow, you and
130
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:16.960
your sons will die. This scene isn't just supernatural theater.
131
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:22.240
It's a cautionary tale about the cost of spiral spiritual shortcuts.
132
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:27.039
When we go looking for answers outside of truth, whether
133
00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:33.080
it's psychics, horoscopes, or that new age influencer selling manifestation oils,
134
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:40.600
we risk inviting something in that doesn't leave quietly. Saul
135
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:47.320
didn't just disobey. He tried to outsource divine revelation, and
136
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:52.399
what he got instead was a conversation with death itself.
137
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:57.000
Here's the kicker. The Witch of Endor may have been
138
00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:01.559
the most terrified person in the room. She realized she'd
139
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.440
open a door. She'd opened a door she couldn't close.
140
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:10.480
And maybe that's the point. When you reach into the dark,
141
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:23.840
sometimes the dark reaches back. Section three, the Mechanics of
142
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:29.480
the Unseen, when Heaven intersects the underworld. Here's where the
143
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:35.080
story turns from creepy folklore to theological dynamite, because if
144
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:40.919
Samuel really appeared, if that the Witch of Endoor actually
145
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:44.519
pulled a profit from the grave, then what we're looking
146
00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:48.639
at is one of the only recorded instances in the
147
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:51.759
Bible where the boundary between the living and the dead
148
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:57.519
was momentarily just lifted. And it wasn't some back alley
149
00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:03.039
magic trick. This was sanctioned, allowed, maybe even used by
150
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:08.399
God to deliver a final judgment. Let's slow that down.
151
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:14.159
Saul wanted guidance. God had already gone silent for him.
152
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:20.360
No prophets, no dreams, no signs. When the divine line
153
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.919
goes dead, most people hang up. Saul went looked for
154
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:28.279
a new signal. But the Bible makes it clear that
155
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:32.960
the spiritual world isn't divided by thick walls. It's thin,
156
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:39.200
like fog between two valleys. There are rules, though only
157
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:45.120
God controls the connection. So Samuel appears speaking words of
158
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:49.440
doom that come true within a day. We have to
159
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:54.639
ask was this an exception to the law against necromancy
160
00:13:55.320 --> 00:14:00.919
or a proof of how serious that law was. Ancient
161
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:06.960
Jewish texts wrestle with that same question. Some rabbis believe
162
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:12.960
God resurrected Samuel temporarily to prove his sovereignty. Early Church
163
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:17.759
fathers saw this as a demonic imitation, a spiritual deep
164
00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:25.240
fake wearing Samuel's face. But either way, something real broke through,
165
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:30.200
and in that moment, the unseen realm was In theory,
166
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:35.200
it was a freaking court room. Now zoom out. This
167
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.200
isn't just history, it's a cosmic pattern. We see it
168
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:46.120
again at the trans Configure Transfiguration when Moses and Elijah
169
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:52.279
appear beside Jesus talking like old friends across time. We
170
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:58.080
see it when Christ descends into Shiel to set captives free.
171
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:03.480
The Bible doesn't high the supernatural, it assumes it. The
172
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.960
Witch of Endor just stumbled into into it without permission.
173
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:12.679
There's a lesson here that goes way beyond dusty scrolls
174
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:17.039
and ghost stories. When we try to force revelation on
175
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:21.559
our terms, we might get an answer, but not the
176
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:25.679
one that we want. Saul didn't need more information, he
177
00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:31.919
needed repentance. What he got instead was truth with teeth.
178
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:39.840
The spiritual world is not entertainment. It's law order, and
179
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:45.720
it has consequences because when Heaven intersects the underworld, it's
180
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:57.720
not a seance, it's a summons. So there it is
181
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:03.120
one of the strangest nights in Biblical history. A king
182
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:06.519
who lost his compass, a witch who got more than
183
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:10.240
she bargained for, and a prophet who couldn't even rest
184
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:16.759
in peace. Saul's fall wasn't just political or tragic. It
185
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:22.159
was spiritual decay, slow and deliberate. He wanted God's guidance
186
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:27.799
without God's authority, And when you want the gift without
187
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:33.960
the giver, you eventually find yourself talking to ghosts. The
188
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:37.480
story of the Witch of Endor isn't just about necromancy
189
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:41.559
or judgment. It's a mirror. Every one of us, at
190
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:47.320
some point has stood where sauls stood in silence, absolutely
191
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:52.279
frustrated and desperate for an answer. And that's when the
192
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:57.559
shadows start whispering shortcuts. Just peak behind the curtain, just
193
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:02.279
try this one time. But truth doesn't come from the dark.
194
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:11.200
Truth is light, and light doesn't need disguises. Maybe that's
195
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:16.440
why David's music mattered. He didn't conjure anything. He just
196
00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:19.920
aligned his heart with Heaven and let the sound do
197
00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:26.599
the work. Worship isn't about performance. It's about tuning your
198
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:29.799
soul to the right frequency. And when you do that,
199
00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:36.319
evil doesn't stand a chance. So as you move through
200
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:42.319
your own midnight moments, remember Saul's lesson. Don't go knocking
201
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:46.640
on doors that were nailed shut for a reason. Some
202
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:53.079
things on the other side they freaking knock back. If
203
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:55.960
you got something out of Tonight's journey. If you made,
204
00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:00.119
if it made you think or shiver or pray a
205
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:04.039
little deeper, do me a solid like the show. Drop
206
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.160
a review and share this episode with someone who loves
207
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:12.039
a good mystery laced with truth. That's how broadcasting seeds grows,
208
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:17.079
not through algorithms, but through word of mouth, one curious
209
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:22.759
soul at a time. Until next time, I'm benettand keep
210
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:28.079
your lamp lit, keep your heart steady, and stay out
211
00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:28.559
of indoor.
212
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:43.880
Crown, old heart of stone. You built a kingdom you
213
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:45.039
can't cal.
214
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:51.039
Profituous angels flee in.
215
00:18:51.039 --> 00:19:05.640
The room homes in my key. You're your once burned upon.
216
00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:12.640
Your hiding, no small gainst silence, feeling step, every vie
217
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:18.960
tree fed your pride. Now shodow sit where faith wants the.
218
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:37.240
Ball the ark can be favor lost, lie with spears,
219
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:51.000
and you threw your speed at the hens over bridge.
220
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:57.319
Jealousy calm lines upon you raise the boy you feed
221
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:05.200
became your pet. Each new de blame made woman sees.
222
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:09.000
But still you reach who was gone.
223
00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:13.480
Train press for desperadrons.
224
00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:17.920
The body stone God will cold, and still so you
225
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:30.000
sad that my out go the cachildy a tail say
226
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:57.720
they went John Spearing and a nap. This voice inside
227
00:20:58.079 --> 00:20:59.240
there is in mine.
228
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:04.039
It homes a glory in a shoven crime.
229
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:11.000
If you crown comes with change unseen, and everything leaves
230
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:12.400
things of prints between.
231
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:18.200
You can't buy beef with barrol rand. You can't see
232
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:25.200
live by courting. Then the silence screams the musing cat
233
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:28.440
in the dark, the deed.
234
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:41.000
Cousa falling, came the harp once heal, but Champie saw
235
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:44.240
man House and the devils card.
236
00:21:44.640 --> 00:22:06.960
You reach four power est, so play those things, boy,
237
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:13.880
Calm the storm, your songs the last that hell pup formed.
238
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:15.200
The room rose still.
239
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:18.559
The crown turns cool, and
