    Day 2801 – Theology Thursday – Ancient Kings and Giants: Were the Sumerian Rulers the Nephilim?
    Feb 19 2026
    Welcome to Day 2801 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – Ancient Kings and Giants: Were the Sumerian Rulers the Nephilim? Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2801 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2801 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God’s Word. John’s lessons can be found on his website theologyinfive.com. Today’s lesson is titled Ancient Kings and Giants: Were the Sumerian Rulers the Nephilim? In the earliest layers of Mesopotamian literature, the Sumerian King List stands as a remarkable record of legendary rulers. These kings, beginning with Alulim of Eridu, are said to have reigned for tens of thousands of years. Alulim ruled for Twenty-Eight Thousand, Eight Hundred years, while others, such as En-men-lu-ana of Bad-tibira, are credited with reigns of Forty-Three Thousand Two Hundred years. The list presents eight antediluvian kings in total, whose rule was said to have lasted for Two Hundred Forty-One Thousand, Two-Hundred years before the heavens brought a great flood. These numbers are not historical in the modern sense. They are symbolic and rooted in the Sumerian sacred use of numbers, especially the sexagesimal base-sixty system. Lifespans were often structured as multiples of Three Thousand, Six Hundred, a unit known as a sar. The theological point is clear. Kingship was believed to have descended from heaven, and these early rulers were seen not merely as political figures but as mediators between gods and mortals. Their reigns reflect divine favor, cosmic order, and a time when humans stood closer to the divine realm. The flood marks a dividing line in the narrative. After it, reigns become shorter and more grounded. The mythic age gives way to something closer to recognizable history. Cities shift, dynasties rise and fall, and the divine distance from humanity becomes more evident. What survives is a memory of a time when the lines between human and divine were blurred, when kings were more than men, and when the age before the flood carried an aura of sacred timelessness.
    The First Segment is: Echoes from Akkadian and Babylonian Tradition.
    The Akkadian-speaking cultures of Babylon and Assyria preserved an expanded version of the Sumerian memory in two major works, the Atrahasis Epic and the Epic of Gilgamesh. These texts also recall a time before the flood, inhabited by extraordinary beings, divine-human figures, and a collapse of order that led to judgment. In the Atrahasis Epic, the gods create humans to relieve themselves of labor, but humanity quickly multiplies and becomes noisy and disruptive. Enlil, the chief god, decides to destroy them. A series of plagues and famines fails to work, so a flood is sent to wipe out the human race. The god Ea (or Enki) warns Atrahasis, a righteous man, who builds a boat to survive. After the flood, humanity is restructured and reduced, and a new social and spiritual order is established. The Epic of...

  • Day 2800 Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 114:1-8 – Daily Wisdom

    Day 2800 Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 114:1-8 – Daily Wisdom
    Feb 18 2026
    Welcome to Day 2800 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2800 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 114:1-8 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2800 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand eight hundred of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Wisdom-Trek: The Earth Trembles – When the Presence Moves In. Today is a milestone day! We have reached day two thousand eight hundred. That is a lot of trekking, and I am so grateful you are walking this path with me. We are celebrating this milestone by stepping into one of the most compact, high-energy psalms in the entire Bible. We are exploring Psalm One Hundred Fourteen, covering the entire hymn, verses one through eight, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek through Psalm One Hundred Thirteen, we began the "Egyptian Hallel"—the series of psalms sung at the Passover. We saw the "Stooping God" who sits high above the nations but bends down low to lift the poor from the dust and the barren woman from her grief. That psalm set the theological stage: God is great because He is humble. Psalm One Hundred Fourteen moves from theology to Theophany. A "Theophany" is a visible manifestation of God. This psalm describes what happened when that "Stooping God" actually touched down on planet Earth to lead His people out of Egypt. It is a psalm of movement. In just eight verses, we see a nation moving out, a sea fleeing, a river turning back, mountains skipping like scared sheep, and the solid rock turning into a fountain. It describes the sheer, terrifying, joyful disruption that occurs when the Holy One invades the realm of chaos. In Jewish tradition, this psalm is sung right before the Passover meal. It recounts the moment Israel became God’s peculiar treasure. So, let us imagine ourselves in the Upper Room, or perhaps standing on the shores of the Red Sea, as we witness the earth tremble at the presence of the Lord. The First Segment is: The Great Migration: Establishing the Sanctuary. Psalm One Hundred Fourteen: verses one through two. When Israel went out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of strange language, Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel his dominion. The psalm begins with a historical flashback to the defining moment of the Old Testament: The Exodus. "When Israel went out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of strange language..." The mention of a "strange language" (or foreign tongue) emphasizes the alienation of Israel. They were strangers in a strange land. In the Ancient Israelite worldview, Egypt was not just a political oppressor; it was a spiritual "Iron Furnace." It was the domain of foreign gods—Ra, Osiris, Horus. Israel was living in a culture where the very words spoken were dedicated to idols. To leave Egypt was to leave the jurisdiction of these foreign elohim. But look at what happens the moment they step out: "Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel his dominion." This is a profound statement of Cosmic...

  • Day 2799– The Greatest Mortal Who Ever Died – Luke 3:1-38

    Day 2799– The Greatest Mortal Who Ever Died – Luke 3:1-38
    Feb 17 2026
    Welcome to Day 2799 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2799 – The Day the Pupil Stumped the Professors – Luke 3:1-38 Putnam Church Message – 01/11/2026 Luke’s Account of the Good News - “The Day the Pupil Stumped the Professors.” Last week was the first week of 2026. We explored the third and final story of Jesus’s childhood. We will explore “The Day the Pupil Stumped the Professors.” Today, we will investigate a prophet who was unmatched in all history, the forerunner of Jesus Christ, in a message titled “The Greatest Mortal Who Ever Died.” Our Core verses for this week are Luke 3:1-38, found on page 1593 of your Pew Bibles. Since this is a long passage and there is a lot to cover, I will include many of the verses during the message. Opening Prayer Gracious and holy God, we come before You today not to be entertained, not to be affirmed by the world, but to be shaped by Your truth. You are the God who speaks in the wilderness, who calls Your servants when the times are dark, and who prepares hearts for the coming of Christ. As we open Your Word, strip away our need for approval, our fear of standing apart, and our temptation to measure faithfulness by success. Give us ears to hear, hearts willing to repent, and courage to live differently for Your glory. Prepare us, O Lord, as John prepared the way— that Christ may be clearly seen among us today. We ask this in the name of Jesus, the Lamb of God and Savior of the world. Amen. Introduction: When God’s Best Doesn’t Look Like Success We live in a culture that worships success. Success is measured in numbers—attendance, followers, influence, platforms, budgets, and visibility. We admire what is polished, efficient, impressive, and scalable. If something grows quickly and looks professional, we assume God must be blessing it. And if it struggles, suffers, or fails—well, we quietly wonder what went wrong. That mindset has seeped into the church. We speak of ministries being relevant, which often means marketable. We talk about impact in terms of reach. We measure faithfulness by results. And we subtly assume that if God is truly at work, it will look powerful, admired, and upwardly mobile. Then Luke introduces us to John the Baptizer. John doesn’t fit any of our categories. He doesn’t go where the people are; he goes where they aren’t. He doesn’t dress to attract; he dresses to repel. He doesn’t soften his message; he sharpens it. He doesn’t protect his influence; he surrenders it. And he doesn’t end his life honored—he ends it executed. And yet Jesus will later say of him: “I tell you, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John.” (Luke 7:28, NLT) That’s a shocking statement. Not Moses. / Not David. / Not Elijah. / Not Isaiah. The greatest mortal who ever lived—and ever died—was a wilderness prophet who never performed a miracle, never held office, never wrote a book, never founded a movement, and never lived to see the results of his ministry. Luke chapter 3 forces us to confront a hard truth: God defines greatness very differently from the way we do. Main...
