Rob Skiba died on Oct. 15
The report is that he died from Covid-19. I won't say much about that other than I'm suspicious of foul play because there was so much that he challenged, but I don't have any evidence of that so I'm not claiming that's the case just
Made a big impact on me
My wife has been searching for truth and challenging the traditions of men in our Christian practices before I did, and Rob opened her eyes first and then me to a number of things that are in the Bible but are ignored by most Christians.
There are 4 main issues for which Rob really impacted me
One of those issues is the Nephilim talked about in Genesis 6 and other places in the Bible, as well as in extra biblical texts
Another issue is being Torah observant
Another is the Flat Earth movement
Finally, Rob believed that we need to share the truth from the Bible in a way that competes with Hollywood, and one of his passions was to produce a TV Series called The Seed. I don't know what will happen to that vision, but I was very excited about seeing that come out
In addition to learning about each of these issues, I learned several lessons from Rob about how to live out our Christian walk.
First of all, he showed me courage in the face of ridicule and adversity. He cared what people thought, as all of us do, but he didn't let his fear of man prevent him from pursuing truth.
Rob also showed me the value of a sense of humor. He was very funny and that humor was woven into all of his teaching.
Finally Rob showed me the importance of research. There are very few people I can think of that did a better job of researching the theories that he considered. He didn't just say what he believed and expected us to believe. He backed it up with scripture, and he tested his theory in a very rigorous fashion.

Righteous people die
He's in a better place - details about what happens when we die from 2 Esdras, an extra-biblical text
With tough times on the way, it could be that God removed Rob out of mercy
Genuine behind the scenes, asked about him limping (only one at conference) and offered to pray right there (lesson)
Sang a song about how our walk as believers can be lonely

Dr. Peter McCullough. There are many people who are losing a lot because they hold a position that goes against the government position on Covid-19 and the Vaccine. I'm guessing that some of you listening have lost your job and certainly have lost relationships. I want to highlight Dr. McCullough because I think he has shown tremendous courage and has lost so much as a result.
