00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:07.599
Year Joe, straight from the broadcast studio and then the static.
2
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 shadows of the party we did
4
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:17.320
where the trop got secret snow parted, microphone alchemists scriptures
5
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:20.359
with a twist, peep 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 --> 00:00:27.800
truth while they trapped in surveillans wisdom with a watchman's

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 --> 00:00:43.560
so with you throw them in better guards to mind
13
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:45.359
is broadcasting seeds.
14
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:46.920
And were breaking the design.
15
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.600
Yeah yeh yo yo.
16
00:00:53.320 --> 00:01:01.119
Straight from the broadcast static.
17
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:05.959
Picture. This the desert at high noon, heat rippling off
18
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:12.239
the stones, a priest in linen, moving with slow deliberate steps,
19
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:16.519
Blood on the altar, smoke curling into a sky that
20
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:21.959
looks like hammered bronze. Somewhere beyond the camp, a goat
21
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.200
stumbles into the wilderness, carrying the weight of a nation
22
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:31.159
on its back. People watch until the animal is a speck,
23
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:36.319
and then nothing. If you listen hard enough, you can
24
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:44.519
almost hear the camp exhale on benettantin. And this is
25
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.319
broadcasting seeds, where we peel back the polite surface of
26
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:53.319
things and poke at the wiring underneath. And today we
27
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:58.760
are not talking about rules for ancient barbecues. We are
28
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:02.959
stepping into living as it was meant to be read,
29
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:10.400
not a dusty legal manual, a field guide to supernatural contact.
30
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:15.400
Now the Bible says the life of the creature is
31
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:21.360
in the blood. That is not a metaphor, that is mechanics.
32
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:26.639
Blood on the altar is not theater for bored deities.
33
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:35.960
It is payment. Territory is being marked, Claims being canceled.
34
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:40.680
The line between clean and unclean is being cut with
35
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:45.560
a very sharp knife. You can smell the iron, you
36
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:50.000
can taste the ash, and suddenly the wilderness around Israel
37
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:56.599
does not feel empty anymore. It feels occupied. Then there
38
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:01.039
is a goat at two goats. Actually, one meets the
39
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.520
blade and its blood is carried inside to reconcile a
40
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:12.319
people with their god. The other becomes the scapegoat, loaded
41
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:19.000
with confession and sent away to a zazel. Now that
42
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:23.159
little phrase has teeth. It drags us into the older
43
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:29.560
memory of the Watchers, into a story where rebel beings
44
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:36.159
taught forbidden arts, shattered boundaries, and left a stain that
45
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:40.960
had to be dealt with not just in the human heart,
46
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.599
but in the unseen map of the world. If that
47
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:50.919
sounds strange, good you are hearing the text the way
48
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:59.479
the first hearers did with their hair standing up. Here's
49
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:06.800
the uncome trouble question. Were israel sacrifices only about pleasing God?
50
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:17.279
Or were they about cutting off rival claims? Think legal warfare,
51
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:26.240
not vague spirituality, Think spiritual counter insurgency. Fire consumes the
52
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:31.560
offering and draws a bright perimeter around sacred space. The
53
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:38.639
scapegoat exits the grid, hauling guilt and defilement into enemy terrain,
54
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.680
as if the camp is being decontaminated and the trash
55
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.399
is being escorted to the dump at the edge of nowhere.
56
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:52.720
This episode is not about gore. It is about governance.
57
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.680
Who gets to claim a life, Who has the right
58
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:02.439
to dwell in a place? Who writes the rules for
59
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:09.680
what touches you? Your family, and your city. Leviticus says,
60
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:15.040
those questions are answered in blood, smoke, and a goat
61
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.480
that walks out of camp and does not come back.
62
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:25.959
So if you are new here, welcome. If you have
63
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.360
been around, you know the drill. I am going to
64
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:34.879
ask hard questions, respect your intelligence, and keep the mystery intact.
65
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:38.600
In return, I ask for one small thing that keeps
66
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:43.000
the show alive. Tap like share the episode with a
67
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.279
friend who geeks out on the weird corners of scripture,
68
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:52.360
drop a review with a sentence about what hit you.
69
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:59.560
That is how this show grows. So buckle up. We're
70
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.439
going to follow the smoke track, the hoofprints and see
71
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:14.040
where the line between seen and unseen actually runs. Section one.
72
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:21.439
Blood as currency in the supernatural economy, So let's start
73
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:26.800
with blood. Leviticus seventeen eleven lays it down flat, for
74
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.519
the life of the creature is in the blood, and
75
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.959
I have given it to you to make atonement for
76
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:40.079
yourselves on the altar. That's not poetry. That's a statement
77
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:44.240
of mechanics. And in a worldview of ancient Israel, blood
78
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:48.279
wasn't just red liquid that dripped out when you cut
79
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:54.319
your finger. Blood was the carrier of life itself, and
80
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.759
life was the only thing valuable enough to settle accounts
81
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:05.439
between heaven and earth. Think of it like this. We
82
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:09.759
use paper money and digital numbers in a bank account
83
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:15.879
to represent wealth. The Israelites used blood. It was the
84
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.879
currency of the unseen world, and when priests splashed it
85
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:24.560
on the altar, they weren't playing religious theater. They were
86
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:29.439
making a payment. They were closing a legal gap between
87
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:35.959
an imperfect people and a perfect God. Now here's where
88
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:40.720
it gets kind of weird. Other cultures around Israel also
89
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:47.160
sacrificed animals. The Canaanites, the Moabites, the Egyptians. They all
90
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:56.160
understood blood as powerful, but their rituals often aimed at
91
00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:00.879
feeding or appeasing gods that were, in the Biblical view,
92
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:10.639
impostors and rebellious spiritual beings demanding rent. Essentially, israel system
93
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:15.240
was different. It wasn't about keeping cosmic thugs happy. It
94
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:20.439
was about cutting off those claims entirely and anchoring themselves
95
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:26.120
in Yahweh, the most High. And blood wasn't just about
96
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:33.000
forgiveness of sin. It was also about territory. Sprinkle it
97
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:38.279
here and suddenly that ground is marked, that space becomes
98
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:42.080
holy the same way a flag on a battlefield tells
99
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:49.480
everyone who owns that hill. Blood on the altar told
100
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:53.639
the unseen realm, this place belongs to Yahweh, not you.
101
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:59.519
It was a supernatural property deed signed in life itself.
102
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:05.399
It's almost like God gave Israel a tool of spiritual
103
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:12.759
counter warfare. Every sacrifice wasn't just an act of worship.
104
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:17.679
It was a line drawn in the sand, a declaration
105
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.840
that the camp, the people, the land, all of it
106
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:27.159
was under divine protection. And in a world where demons,
107
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:32.039
fallen angels and pagan gods were always trying to muscle
108
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:39.440
in that declaration, it mattered. So when we read Leviticus today,
109
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:44.080
it's tempting to see a bloody mess of outdated rituals right,
110
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:53.159
but through broadcasting Seed's eyes we see something far sharper.
111
00:09:54.440 --> 00:10:02.720
These weren't primitive superstitions. They were supernatural transaction, intentional acts
112
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:09.000
of spiritual warfare. Blood was the weapon, the shield, and
113
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:15.039
the receipt all rolled into one. Now it raises a
114
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:21.120
question that should make us uncomfortable. If life is in
115
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:25.679
the blood, and if blood marks territory in the unseen realm,
116
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:31.759
then what was at stake every time Israel performed or
117
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:38.320
failed to perform these sacrifices. Was it just personal guilt
118
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:42.840
or was it about who really governed the land itself?
119
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:53.159
Section two A Zazel and the Watchers the wilderness connection.
120
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:59.960
All right, so now let's talk about this. The goat,
121
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:06.960
the scapegoat, not the one slaughtered, but the one that walked.
122
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:13.720
Leviticus sixteen calls it the scapegoat if you ever wondered
123
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.320
where that came from, And the text says it was
124
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:23.840
sent to a Zazel in the wilderness. And here's where
125
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:30.399
things get spine tingling, because Azazel isn't just some random word.
126
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:35.159
It's tied to one of the darkest chapters in supernatural
127
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.960
history because in the Book of Enoch, a text that
128
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.080
didn't make it into the Cannon but was well known,
129
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:49.200
is well known in the ancient world, Azazel is one
130
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:54.360
of the Watchers. These were angels who rebelled against God,
131
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.480
descended to Mount Herman, and brought chaos to the earth.
132
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:08.360
They taught humans forbidden knowledge, how to make weapons, enchantments, sorcery,
133
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:16.519
even cosmetics and jewelry used for seduction. Basically, they cracked
134
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:23.120
open the door to corruption, and their offspring. The Nephelum
135
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:29.360
wrecked creation so badly that the flood was God's reset button.
136
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:34.960
So when Levinicus says a goat was sent to Azazel,
137
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:41.519
the original audience would have felt that chill. This wasn't
138
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:45.360
just an animal wandering into the desert. It was a
139
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:51.480
ritual banishment, a cosmic message. Here's the sin of the people.
140
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:56.399
Take it back to the wilderness, the territory of the fallen.
141
00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:02.919
The goat wasn't going free. It being exiled into enemy terrain,
142
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:08.440
carrying with it the pollution that had no place in
143
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:14.799
the camp of God. The wilderness itself carried weight in
144
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:20.399
Hebrew thought. It wasn't empty space. It was the haunt
145
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:26.679
of demons, a chaotic borderland where order gave way to wilderness.
146
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:31.879
Think about Jesus later being tempted in the wilderness. It's
147
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:38.879
the same backdrop. The desert wasn't just harsh land. It
148
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:44.919
was a stage for spiritual conflict. And that makes the
149
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:50.399
scapegoat ritual even more powerful. One goat dies and its
150
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:55.159
blood reconciles the people to Yahweh, and the other goat
151
00:13:55.960 --> 00:14:00.120
doesn't die in the camp, It gets loaded with trans
152
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:06.080
gression and escorted right out to where the unseen forces alurked.
153
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:10.399
It's almost like Israel was dumping its toxic waste on
154
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:16.320
a Zazel's doorstep. Here, this belongs to you. Keep it,
155
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:22.559
don't come back. If you sit with that for a minute,
156
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:28.879
you realize this wasn't simply about forgiveness. It was about
157
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:34.799
cutting ties, about handing the enemy back its junk so
158
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:40.600
God's people could be free. The Scapegoat ritual was an
159
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:45.519
exorcism on a national scale. So next time you picture
160
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:49.600
the goat stumbling away, don't imagine a sad animal in
161
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:56.039
the desert sun. Imagine a spiritual transaction, a legal transfer
162
00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:00.200
of guilt back into the lap of the very being
163
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:05.080
who introduced corruption in the first place. It was as
164
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.120
if Israel was saying, We're done carrying this, you deal
165
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:20.879
with it. Section three The scapegoat and spiritual transfer technology.
166
00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:26.559
All right, So now we zero in on the mechanics.
167
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:30.960
The scapegoat ritual wasn't random. It wasn't just a priest
168
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.840
saying a few words and letting it go wander off.
169
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:39.759
It was step by step spiritual technology designed to make
170
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:45.840
something invisible happen in the visible world. Here's how it
171
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:50.759
went down on the day of Atonement, two goats were
172
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:57.080
chosen by lot. One was sacrificed. Its blood went behind
173
00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:01.360
the veil into the Holy of Holies to cleanse the
174
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:08.960
sanctuary itself. That's huge because sin didn't just stain people,
175
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:15.559
It stained space. The very environment became polluted and had
176
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:20.320
to be scrubbed with blood. But the second goat, that's
177
00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:25.159
where things get strange. The High Priest would lay both
178
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:29.960
hands on the goat's head. He would confess all the
179
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:34.960
sins of Israel out loud, transferring them symbolically into this
180
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:42.200
living creature. Every lie, theft, act of violence, idolatry, every
181
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:49.360
secret shame dumped onto one trembling animal. Think about that
182
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:53.000
for a second. You're standing in a crowd, and you
183
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:57.159
know that the words leaving the priest's mouth are your sins,
184
00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:04.279
your family's sins, your community's sins. The air is heavy
185
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:08.599
with it. Then, when the priest is done, a designated
186
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:15.039
man leads the goat away. Now, ancient rabbinic tradition even
187
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:19.920
adds that sometimes they'd drive the goat off a cliff
188
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:22.759
to make sure it didn't wander back into the camp.
189
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:27.039
But can't you imagine the awkwardness if the scapegoat just
190
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:32.720
strolled back in a week later, everyone would be like, hey,
191
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:38.880
there's our sinoat. Guests were just doomed. The ritual only
192
00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:44.680
worked if the transfer stuck. Now here's where it connects
193
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:50.519
with other ancient practices. Across the ancient world, cultures used
194
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:58.839
what anthropologists call substitution rituals. If a king was under
195
00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:02.400
a curse, he might place his clothes on a servant
196
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:07.200
and send that servant away. If a village was plagued,
197
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.079
they might transfer the curse to an object, or an animal,
198
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:16.480
or even a person, and then drive it out. It
199
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:22.000
was about containment and displacement. The evil was real, and
200
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:28.720
the ritual moved it. Israel's version, though, was unique because
201
00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:33.880
it was tied directly to Yahweh's authority. It wasn't superstition,
202
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:39.039
it was legal action in the cosmic courtroom. The sins
203
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:43.359
didn't just vanish. They were assigned back to the wilderness,
204
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:49.240
back into a Zazel's territory, stripped of their power over
205
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:56.599
God's people. Think about it like a cosmic hard drive wipe.
206
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:02.799
The escapegoat was the delete, and once that goat was gone,
207
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.240
the ledger was clear. That's why the Day of Atonement
208
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:12.119
was the most sacred day of the year, and without it,
209
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:16.319
Israel's sins would pile up like garbage until the whole
210
00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:22.079
system was corrupted. With it, the slate was wiped clean
211
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:30.039
and the people could start fresh under God's covering. And
212
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:35.240
here's the kicker. If that system worked on a national scale,
213
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:40.839
what does it say about the deeper reality of sin, guilt,
214
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:46.559
and unseen powers. The scapegoat wasn't just a ritual, It
215
00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:52.839
was a visual sermon. Sin sticks until it's transferred, and
216
00:19:52.880 --> 00:20:03.000
once transferred, it must be exiled, never welcome back. Section
217
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:10.200
four cosmic boundaries, fire, smoke, and sacred space. So let's
218
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:17.400
shift focus from the goat to the fire, because if
219
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:21.480
the scapegoat was about transferring sin outward, the altar was
220
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:27.839
about drawing a boundary inward. Fire in the Bible isn't
221
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:32.480
just heat and light. It's a marker of presence. It's
222
00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:39.079
God showing up, often with a warning label. Approach with reverence,
223
00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:48.480
or get burned. Leviticus describes the altar fire as something
224
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:53.200
that was never allowed to go out day and night.
225
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:57.559
The priests fed it. That wasn't about keeping the camp warm,
226
00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:03.200
That was about maintaining an active boundary between heaven and earth.
227
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:08.240
When the smoke rose, it was a visible line, a
228
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:14.319
flare shot into the unseen, saying, this territory belongs to Yahweh.
229
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:20.599
The ancients got this fire had always been sacred. Pagans
230
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:25.839
burned incense and sacrifices to their gods, hoping to attract
231
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:31.559
favor or ward off wrath. Israel's fire it was different.
232
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:37.359
It wasn't a bribe. It was a declaration. Every lamb,
233
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.759
every bowl, every handful of grain that turned to ash
234
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:48.640
was another reminder that God's claim on Israel was non negotiable. Now,
235
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:53.480
think about what happened when someone crossed that line. Remember
236
00:21:55.000 --> 00:22:05.079
Nadab and Abihu in Aboo in Leviticus ten. They offered
237
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:10.039
strange fire before the Lord, and fire came out and
238
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:16.720
consumed them brutal. Yes, but the message was unmistakable. Boundaries matter.
239
00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:21.880
The fire wasn't a campfire story. It was a supernatural
