2) When Watchers Return: UFOs Through the Lens of Ancient Texts
Send us a textAre we witnessing the fulfillment of ancient prophecies in our skies? As Congressional hearings bring credible military whistleblowers forward with accounts of recovered non-human craft, we're confronted with a spiritual dilemma few are prepared to address.The evidence is mounting—Commander David Fravor's Tic Tac encounter, Gary Voorhees tracking objects moving from space to sea level in seconds, and Brigadier General Haim Eshed's bombshell claims about decades of contact. These aren't fringe conspiracy theorists but decorated military personnel with security clearances and nothing to gain from fabrication.What's truly remarkable is how these modern accounts align with ancient texts. The Book of Enoch describes 200 "Watchers" who came to Earth before the flood, corrupting humanity with forbidden knowledge. Even more startling—Enoch explicitly states he wrote not for his generation but for those living when these beings would return after "70 generations." That mathematical timeline brings us directly to our present day.This episode explores how extraterrestrial contact might reconcile with Christian theology, examining biblical passages about giants, mysterious "iron chariots" defeated by "stars fighting from heaven," and Job's cosmic conversation about the influences of distant star systems. We're not asking you to believe—we're suggesting we develop theological frameworks before potential disclosure forces a spiritual crisis.The Black Swan Rising podcast tackles topics others avoid, connecting ancient wisdom with modern revelations. Join us next episode as we continue this exploration and examine current events that further suggest we may be on the precipice of the greatest paradigm shift in human history.

1) Beyond Normalcy Bias: Seeing Tomorrow's Black Swans Today
Send us a textEver wonder why the most transformative events in history seem to catch everyone by surprise? The answer lies in understanding Black Swan events—those rare, unpredictable occurrences that completely reshape our world but appear obvious in hindsight.Black Swan Rising takes you on a journey through biblical prophecy, current events, and historical patterns to help you recognize these world-changing moments before they arrive. Drawing from Nassim Taleb's concept of Black Swans, host Michael B. Rush explores how these events share three critical characteristics: they're undetectable beforehand due to our normalcy bias, they transform everything about our world, and afterward, the warning signs seem painfully obvious.From the crucifixion of Jesus Christ to modern phenomena like congressional UFO hearings, this podcast examines potential Black Swan candidates that could fulfill biblical prophecies about the last days. Luke 21:26 tells us "men's hearts will fail them for fear" of what's coming—a clear indication that unprecedented events will shake even the most prepared individuals.What makes this exploration unique is the emphasis on spiritual discernment over blind acceptance of any single interpretation. Rather than telling you what to believe, Michael invites you to reason together, examining evidence against scripture while developing your ability to recognize truth through the Holy Spirit. In a world of competing voices and agendas, this skill becomes increasingly essential.Future episodes will delve into fascinating topics including the Antichrist, the restoration of Israel, the New Jerusalem, and how modern phenomena might connect to ancient prophecies. Subscribe now to join this thought-provoking journey and develop eyes that can see beyond normalcy bias to prepare for whatever lies ahead.They that seek shall find
NEW EPISODES EVERY FRIDAYIn a world shrouded in mystery, The Black Swan Rising Podcast seeks to reconcile the inexplicable with the work and glory of God. From prophetic enigmas to historical anomalies, each episode explores events that defy conventional understanding—yet demand explanation if they are true. Because truth, no matter how strange, must harmonize with divine order. For too long, too many have stuck their head in the sand with regards to the paranormal anomalies that are becoming increasingly common place. The purpose of this podcast is not to convince what to think but rather help you to engage in the process of reconciling the mysterious mysteries of this world with your faith in an Almighty God, and in His Only Begotten Son - the Lord Jesus Christ. In doing so, we do not speculate for speculations sake. We do so because by seeking to understand the mysteries of God, we better equip ourselves for what’s coming down the pipeline—spiritually, geopolitically, and personally. Jesus taught that before He comes again the powers of heaven will shake, and even the very elect might be deceived. This podcast is my attempt at helping you to be better prepared for the coming Great and Terrible Day.
