Professor, author and researcher Dr. Ken Hanson returned to discuss the new stone tablet unearthed near the Dead Sea, which contains prophecies about the Messiah as well as revelations from the Angel Gabriel. He's been studying the 3-ft. tablet, known as the 'Gabriel Revelation,' for the last year.

Another book tells of "Lilith," a first wife to Adam, who was created co-equally. Yet, because she would not subjugate herself to him, she was cast out, and then birthed a race of demons who persecuted the children of Eve.
