From the comments at the link:
"Some of the Christian arguments do seem weak, yes. However, the fact that commenters, even here among the wise and good, misrepresent what is actually believed by Christians should give the undecided and the agnostic some pause. If Mere Christianity is so obviously wrong, why do its critics describe it so inaccurately? Wouldn't it be sufficient to criticise the real article? Do they not apprehend what is said? Are they intentionally lying? Is there a laziness in thought? I don't know, but in discussions such as this it seems the most obvious fact in evidence, whatever the explanation."
That was where Joseph Campbell really lost my respect. If he was going to be so inaccurate about the Christian "myths" in his own backyard, how could I trust what he said about myths from around the world?

There is much to be gleaned from old books. Today I learned that the cutting to pieces of Rahab in Isaiah 51 can be understood as part of God's work in parting and securing a passage across the Red Sea for the escape of the Israelites from Egypt.
They weren't just fleeing the Egyptians; there were principalities and powers at work then, just as now.
The Israelites were significantly reminded of the Red Sea passage as they entered the Promised Land, Joshua 4 says, when God stopped the flow of the Jordan River for them to cross over.
There's also the prostitute Rahab who assisted the Israelites, whose God had easily defeated her namesake.
"Three souls flying home because I stayed behind"
One of the souls I've helped toward salvation suddenly flew home recently. This song helped me to really cry for the first time over it.
I happened to read about the Gadarene swine in Mark 3 this morning before coming across this piece, which mentions it.
David Clements mentions Michael Cocchini. A quick internet search tells me that they've worked together before, and that a different Michael Cocchini--and a Susan Clements--went fatally missing in the Smoky Mountains. At separate times.
Feels like a rabbit hole.
Much like Jonathan Cahn connects the major demons of ancient Israel to today's United States, Clements says that the spirits of the Nephilim are here and active.
