"Dust, Demons and the Cosmic Battleground of Golgotha" - Episode 4 in the series, "Heaven and Hell"

In the fourth episode of our series, Jonah asks Patrick to unfold one perspective of the nature of "hell." Beginning with imagery from scripture of "the pit" and "Gehenna," he turns to the "realm of dust," or the place that is most "distant" from God. This leads to the cosmic question: "who is the ruler of the earth?" The conversation then reveals what happened on the mount known as "Golgotha" as a cosmic battle between the demonic powers, "the prince of this world" and Christ. Human beings, finding themselves in the middle of this battle, can experience how it is also a battle for their very souls.
