Lol. This lecture is so engaging. He has (we) the audience hanging on every word. His presentation and explanation of the inter relationships of people, with The Lord, and the supernatural realm gives us the ability to relate, both then and now. And, His use of humor is priceless. ❣️✝️🙏Thank you Dr. Mike. You're our hero.
@@AWKNGInc Your teachng on Psalm 82 and this Dvine Council of non human/angles is 100% FALSE, Jesus answers the question. STOP promoting this nonsense and throwing Jesus under the bus with this man centered teaching of Heiser. When a person read it in the original Hebrew, and you will see the difference between Yahweh as Elohim above all Elohim and the council itself as a lower classification of elohim. Jesus answers the lower classification of elohim (gods) in John 10: 34 35. Asaph the Prophet writes Psalm 82: 1 "God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment: Psalm 82:6 - “I said, you are gods.” John the Disciple/Apsotle writes Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’? 35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), The lower class of elohim (gods) in Psalm 82 are human NOT non human/angels WHY because the word of the Lord came to Prophets, God Spoke thru Prophets to the nation of Israel/Jews (Human). The Jews were also given the Law and had the Prophets. NO nonhuman/angel is ever referred to as a Prophet in scripture or were given the Law, Of course angels are messengers in scripture, but that is it. The Law and Holy Scriptures were given to the nation of Israel/Jews NOT to non humans/angels. How God takes His place in the divine council is by the Prophet Asaph who wrote Psalm 82 and by the Law which was given to the Nation of Israel. What is KEY is that a Prophet of God like Asaph carried and handled the words of the Lord God, Prophets were the VOICE of God that is why it is IMPORTANT that Jesus fulfills these words...... Psalm 82:6 - “I said, you are gods.” ........Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’? 35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),
Even common sense tells us that NO book in scripture is named after a non human being or an angel. The Lord God is in a Covenant relationship with MAN, NOT non human beings or angels. God lifts up Prophets in the OT so Jesus can FULFILL what is written and spoken in the OT Fulfilled by Jesus in the NT. Jesus holds the answer of the "gods" (lower class elohim/gods), they are human in both Psalm 82 and John 10.
@@End_of_Days I'm so glad you have all the answers. So, we can all come to you and ask you everything because you seem to have it ALL figured out 🙄 I guess we shouldn't trust a man who had several Masters degrees, a Doctorate, who was a scholar of biblical languages, and who made this specific study _his life's work._
@@marthaj67 Exactly we should not trust a man. Hope you know Jesus fulfills the words of OT prophets where Heiser never did. Jesus is the teacher (Rabbi) on the subject of the "gods" of Psalm 82, NOT Heiser. Here is the explanation that points to Jesus, Jesus holds that answer, sure isn't me or Heiser. >>>>Heiser was a False teacher, he is famous because of Psalm 82. Here is the proper explantion for Psalm 82 with Jesus included. Jesus answered the question of the "gods" of Psalm 82 in John 10 long before Heiser was even born. Heiser beleives the "gods' of Psalm 82 are non human super angels of a divine council. Okay lets look at Psalm 82 and John 10 where it "gods" are used. Psalm 82: 1 "God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment: Psalm 82:6 I said, “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; John 10: 34-35 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’? 35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken)," Looking Psalm 82 Word for God in Psalm 82:1 is Elohim with a upper case "E">>>>("God has taken his place") gods is elohim lower case "e" also in Psalm 82:6 lower case. God mentined Once (verse 1) and "gods" mentioned Twice (verses 1 and 6) Looking at John 10: 34-35 Word for God is Jesus>>>>("Jesus answered them"), Jesus is God and the Son of God second person in the Trinity/Godhead (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). Jesus mentions the word "gods" Twice in verse 34 You are "gods" verse 35 "If he called them "gods" Another connection there is ONE "I said" in Psalm 82 verse 6 and ONE "I said" in John 10 verse 34. A person has to pair up the "I said" statements that in in both the OT text and NT text. The "I said" statement is the kicker. The “I said” statement is no different than an “I am” statement. The "I said" and "I am" are declarations of God’s name from the OT, as applied by Jesus to Himself in the NT. The "I said" is only used in Psalm 82 and John 10. Most people are taught Jesus is "quoting" Psalm 82, BUT Jesus is REPEATING what His Father (God) had spoken thru the Prophet Asaph. Aspaph is the Author and Psalmist of Psalm 82. Prophets of the Old Testament like Asaph the "word of the Lord" would come to Prophets like Asaph. Let's look at an example from scripture, this a prophet after Moses passes away Deuteronomy 18: 18 "I will raise up for them a prophet like you (Moses) from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him." Another example Hosea 1:1 >>>>> "The word of the Lord that came to Hosea," Hosea 1:2 "When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea," With these examples from OT scripture Prophets were the "Voice" of God, this is part of the job description of a Prophet to handle and carry the "words" of the Lord God. Looking again at Psalm 82: 1 "God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:" and Psalm 82:6 I said, “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you;" HOW God has taken His place in the divine council (other translations"congregation of the mighty" or "great assembly") is by the Prophet Asaph who is the Psalmist who handled and carried the words of the Lord God. The divine council, congregation of the mighty" or "great assembly are the "gods" in Psalm 82:1 and Psalm 82:6 Psalm 82:6 I said, “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; John 10: 34-35 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’? 35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken)," Again since the "I said" is the kicker, Jesus who is God (Son) goes on telling us who had the "law" and whom the " to whom the word of God came", that would be the "gods" which are Human and would be the Jews of whom Jesus is Addressing in John 10:34-35, so the same LOGIC would be applied to Psalm 82 that Humans are being addressed Psalm 82, NOT non human super angels of a divine council. Jesus is the word/Word become Flesh>>>>John 1:14 "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. Since Jesus is the Word become flesh, He is now carrying and handling the words of HIS Father from the Old Testament in the New Testament that is WHY it says in John 10:35 ((and the Scripture cannot be broken). Jesus has to Fulfill the words of the Old Testamen, which would also include His Birth and His Crucifixion (Isaiah 53). Jesus fulfills the Law and the Prophets, Jesus says in Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill." Jesus TOTALLY answers the question of the "gods" of Psalm 82 in John 10, becasue Jesus is repeating what God spoke through the Prophet Asaph. Humans (gods) are being addressed in Psalm 82 and in John 10. What Heiser has done is Idolatry he got so many chasing after a phony and false divine council made up of a bunch of nonhuman gods (super angels). Heiser has cheated Jesus out of the answer of the "gods" of Psalm 82, because he never pointed a person to Jesus in John 10. Heiser was a blind teacher and a false teacher when it came to Psalm 82. Final Note: "To die like men" from Psalm 82, are referring to the "gods", probably referring to Jewish Elders who are Rulers, Judges or even kings with in the nation of Isarael are given this authoriy, becasue they have the Law of God and are to uphold the Law of God, they are to represent God and His Law, but are doing a awful job (Psalm 82: 2-5), that is why they are being scolded. Since God has all Authority over them and is Supreme Authority of life and death, these officials with high authoriy over Israel will die like men, because they are men. Psalm 82:2 "“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked>>>>>>>>Men Judge (Jewish rulers), not a bunch of super angels of a divine council.
I am 59 years old, a nurse by profession and I found Dr. Heiser two years ago. I have learned MORE from this brother in Christ than from anywhere, anyone else and I feel overwhelming gratitude and kinship towards Mike.

What He teaches us is the most important content in all of the world, and learning all He has to teach has become the single most important thing in my life. Thank You Dr. Mike.

Same here, I’ve learned more from him than anyone else. And I only discovered him in September! His death has hit me hard, it’s really affecting me. 😢 ugh. Death 😖💔
So grateful Dr. Heiser appeared on my phone. In the last ten days my understanding of the Bible has intensified like the sunrise after a new moon. It's beautiful. Fascinating. Comforting. Grateful and listening.✝️
You are missed Mike❤You have left us with a beautiful message given by God. He has called you home because you have done his will. And without one doubt ...he has said, "welcome, well done son"❤
We really lost an important brother in Christ Jesus like Dr. Heiser. He's now with the one he dedicated his life to, and I'm sure greatly rewarded in the Lord's kingdom.
This man has answered so many of my unanswered questions plus confirmed things that I suspected from my own studying. I'm so glad the Lord has opened all of his teachings up to me. I needed it
I just discovered Dr Michael Heiser last week and my view and perspective of the bible when I read it now has not been the same. His legacy lives on, thank you so much Dr H, for being an instrument used by God to bring spiritual wisdom, knowledge and understanding to us all.
I am so grateful that Dr Heiser's teaching is free for us to learn. Why have we NEVER been taught about the Divine Counsel of God? Dr Heiser shows how the Bible makes so much more sense. I tried to understand this about 10 yrs ago. I guess I wasnt ready. I didnt know if I could trust it. It was all so different. Now that our world is in TOTAL chaos in 2021, I have started watching him again. (when Dr Heiser was better for awhile) It is incredible how much more he teaches about God and His creation. I know God is blessing this mighty servant and Micheal is finally well in the presence of his Savior and Lord. Thank you to whoever is posting this.💙
As a teacher, I had to teach Shakespeare and Greek Mythology. The thought occurred to me that there was something to the whole Greek gods and pantheon. I mean, I knew it wasn't thee truth, but I figured those ancient people had a reason for believing in multiple gods. Years later ( 2022/, e stumble upon the Unseen Realm and now these lectures. I've long held that racism and hate are demonic... it's all spiritual and that's why it is present from generation to generation, and even if you have a group of folks who look alike, they will find SOMETHING to dislike or hate about each other. Babies and small children aren't like that. They just want to love each other and play. Maybe that is why Jesus advised us to have a heart like them. But I digress. My point is that we truly do war against principalities and strongholds. Those in the spiritual realm who hate us do a wonderful job of tricking us into destroying ourselves and each other. Heiser does a good job of explaining what's going on in the spiritual backdrop of humanity.
Chuck Smith elucidates Christian Livin Nd Chuck Missler the science of creation. No one man understands… ‘we see as through a glass darkly, then we shall see face to face’.
Mike is an excellent teacher. Yes he was in life a believer and a man with all the shortcomings of any man. He chose to follow GOD. And his teachings were gifted to him by his endless passion for teaching. I find great inspiration and insights in his teachings. He is and was a true man after GOD ♥️ heart.
Unseen Realm, Reversing Hermon, Angels, Demons. I've read the first 3 and am reading Demons now. Love your work Dr. Heiser! I am, as you've stated in other lectures of yours I've binged on, reading the Bible again for the first time! You've opened up so much. I am grateful for you and am praying for you for God to bring you through this trial.
If you think this is something, read the red words and the gospel of Thomas, then walk the narrow path within. As the g.o.t. says, you will become astonished. Then you will become astounded.
If I remember correctly, I heard Michael say how VERY shy he was most his life. If u watch his very first videos you can see how shy and quiet he was. And God opened that up and gave Him a Holy confidence. 🙏🏻
Thanks you Dr. Michael S. Heiser. Your goal of helping non-academics more deeply understand some of these concepts has worked with me. It has helped me see more intimacy with God. It has inspired me to discover for myself also.
its interesting to consider the number of views on this material here on youtube, not many masses of people, very intelligent, intriguing deep calls to deep kind of information. Hos.4:6 my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Praise God for the wisdom God gave Michael Heiser. Ephesians 6:12 has an even deeper meaning to me now. I understand the real "spiritual" war we see in this world. Rebellion against God produces death and destruction. Let us worship God in spirit and truth! Looking forward to Jesus' return, when the King is leading the world in righteousness and Satan is bound!

It's a big help to see more into the relationship of God with Israel and pagan gods with their followers. I pray that many more people learn about this.
Been in my “watch later” playlist for over six months I am now embarrassed to say, and now I’ve had my mind blown. Thank you to the good Dr. for this, a great legacy for you following your passing. Seems to fit like a glove with what other gnosis and knowledge is saying.
Wow! Fascinating information! This explains a whole lot and it's so important especially when we read that end times are "as in the days of Noah." We haven't seen the last of this lot yet. Are you wondering who is working with them in this day and age? You should be. God bless you Dr. Heiser. He is with the Lord now.

What’s funny is how “we will never see it.” And yet people saw it. No know against Heiser. I love the man. I think it’s amazing how God will get his word and theology to his people. He will bring his revelation. 🔥❤️🔥❤️
Excellent lecture. Truth upon Truth upon Truth that matters for living in Christ, who is our cosmic geographic location! I hold to a preterist eschatology based on the context of the divine council worldview. Yet, I'd say, regardless of any eschatological view, the truth presented here matters most.
Exo 33:19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of Yahuah before you; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
Dr.Heiser’s presentation is very enlightening. I learned a great amount of information because the Dr. has me looking at the supernatural in a whole new light & it totally makes sense. This is great work, thank you Dr.
I am in a bible college Valor Christian college I just started a class we or in one of his books right now I just seen where he has went home to his reward I know he heard well done good and faithful servant
It fascinates me how Dr. Heiser manages to treat the material as human and scholarly yet as revelation! If my grad school profs had been more like that I might well have gone on for a PhD, but too many of them regarded any treatment of the scriptures as actually human literature as being anathema; some of them would most likely have treated a book like Unseen Realm as "worldly".
Wow and wow! As so many others have said it's bring so much context to the whole of scripture and makes the word of God even more wondrous! I have only one question in all of this but it's a big one I don't know how Dr Heiser could go into so much detail on the stuff that was missed and somehow never explains how the Nephilim in Genesis 6 who sinned so greatly appear again after the flood weren't they all wiped out in the flood?? Did I miss this in this teaching or does he address it somewhere else?? sure would love it if there was an answer to this because everything else is so engaging!
Well he talks about it but doesn’t, remember how he talked about the Nephilim being 2/3 or 1/3 Nephilim, they came through one of the wives of Noah’s sons, from her genetic pool, she was part Nephilim and it manifested in some of her offspring, that’s why they are 2/3 or 1/3, and I guess those offspring married and had offspring together and so they were re-established, I don’t remember which wife, but it can be traced. I’ve seen it traced to the lands they settled and their descendants.
The battle start out of my relationship with the father made possible through Christ. Where I go and which battles happen are not my choice. Knowledge is good it can puff up yes.

213. RETURN ME TO PARADISE A sinner though I am, a Child of God I became Not through my own doings, but on the power of Jesus’ name. The path here was long, lonely, and hard But now Christ Jesus is my reward. He lovingly sacrificed Himself to set me free Now bound together We are throughout Eternity. All my sins are forgiven and have parted from me When I presented myself before my God to see. Forgive me Lord for I am not a holy one I am not even worthy to kneel before Your Son. If it were not for His shed blood that washed me clean I could not offer myself before You to be seen. But I understand now the offer Christ has made For this is what I offer You for when I have disobeyed. Christ is the One who could make the Perfect sacrifice For He is the only One who could return me to Paradise. And if you ask in Christ Name As for you He will do the same.
I wish Heiser were still here. 😢 I'd love to know what Jesus meant when he said, "I saw Satan fall from heaven..." I wonder if he ever discussed that in his lectures. It seems he had to be speaking historically and not present tense of when the 70 disciples were casting out demons. ????
Good for you! I have the same question, and came to the conclusion that this verse is MUCH misinterpreted and (I think) you had it right. Jesus did NOT say that he saw Satan Fall from Heaven. He said he saw satan fall as LIGHTENING! The exact words are "like lightening from heaven". The words don't make sense in a historic context. The power of God working through the disciples against the kingdom of darkness has nothing to do with the other event. Jesus was describing the manner of which Satan's kingdom fell...QUICKLY! In a flash! Like lightening. The word "Heaven" has 3 meanings...1) the abode of God 2) the universe 3) the sky. Like lightening falls from the sky, that's how darkness fell. CONTEXT. Also, there are OTHER ideas about the origin of Satan. Most people--including Heiser, think that Satan "fell". That he was once 'good' but became bad. The OTHER lesser idea is that God made Satan the way he is for God's purposes. There's a verse in Col 1:16 that says everything was made BY God and FOR God. (very important). If God did not create evil, then where did it come from? If it exists outside of God, then it is MORE powerful than God is, and we know that to be impossible? I like Heiser and this series is very interesting and he gets a lot of things right. But whenever people embrace the fall of Satan, than, I think, we get off track a bit and miss some things. I personally hold to the view that Adam (man) is the one who "fell". That if we're gonna spiritual the famous Isaiah passage (14) & Ezekiel (28), it's Adam/man who once had the high position with God in Eden--the mountain of God. It describes God's human creation (verse 12) and the list of gemstones in verse 13 are the same ones on the breastplate of the priest in Leviticus. And believers ARE priests! Verse 15 "blameless from the day of your creation until iniquity was found in you." (sounds like Adam/man). But through Christ...mankind gets it all back...the relationship with God, to rule and reign (as before), the sonship etc. But that's my take on it, anyway.
Romans 8:14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. Isaiah 44:6 I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God beside me. False gods explained: Psalms 115
Something just blew my mind. The fact that the Rephaim were the offspring of other gods and women is in direct contrast to Jesus being born of Holy Spirit and a woman. Jesus coming in the flesh is a direct checkmate to this the Rephaim even being born!

I love all of this! It fills in the gaps. I have never heard this. I do have one question. Where was God when all of this with the deities and the apkallu was taking place? I mean, He must have known. Did He let it all happen? Also, I thought it was God who destroyed the Earth with the flood. He didn't?😮
God is all knowing. I've wondered for a long time. Why did the Lord not bind or destroy satan, when He knew that he was going to tempt man in the garden? Not taking away our freewill, just preventing Eve from ever being tempted? I know there is a reason, because I know God is perfect and everything He does is true and just. I was just curious about this, because I don't know how to respond to this question when it's asked by a secular person.
If you view part 1 of this, he explains that God gave humans free will. He didn't make us robots. In order to be truly free means there is freedom to choose against God. And Satan was created to be that choice. But God knew in advance that would happen and had a plan before the world was ever made (1 Peter 1:20) to redeem His people. Also--this just my opinion-- that God's love is best known through forgiveness.
It is so sad though....these poor unclean spirits were born into this. They did not have a choice.....but that is why Jesus went down and ministered to them, just like he died to save us I believe he also went down to give the same opportunity.
He went to confirm those who died in faith. He then to confront the parent fallen angels, they had raised their offspring to be totally evil and Hate all of humanity. They believe themselves superior to and better than humanity. Demons see us as less than dung. They see humans as their property, houses, food. They play mind games and manipulate people. They have minds and emotions; But, Do Not be deceived they HATE us! They are Not human and really want to destroy us. They rejected God while alive and wallowed in evil. Like us, once dead too late. They want to take us down with them.
My impression of this passage is that it refers to the use of tefillom, or phylacteries. Think about Jews praying at the Western Wall in Jerusalem even today, they tie small leather cases to their right hand and hat band with Scripture verses inside. Culturally, John would have referred to falsified prayer in which the beast requires his own mark (which could be Nero's/Caesar's name if you want to play the gematria game) to be written on the paper in the tefillom in lieu of true scripture, thus defiling the prayers being offered in that time.
Have he ever spoken about the apocalypse and his understanding on it ??? I hear all this pre-tribulation rapture and post-tribulation rapture debates going on here on TH-cam .
1:16:41 Can you tell us which cultural texts reference the concept of “we worship other gods because that is what the Most High wanted” ? I came from occult circles based in hermetic and thelema teachings, and my evangelical ministry is to those who are still in those practices or similar. More scholarly resources to share with them would be incredibly helpful - thank you!
@Will No. Jude v6 is clear those that fell to Hermon, "he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto (until) the judgement of the great day" The second coming of Christ and the great white throne where everyone will give an account for their life. These will never be freed only eternally judged.
imo...the fall was the effect of taking into one's heart the knowledge of sexual sin. Adam and Eve wanted to cover their private parts. They felt shame. It brings to mind the first time i was exposed to pornology. I was young. I had never seen pornography and this was supposed to be a date with two other couples. I hung my head in shame and tried very hard to keep my tears from being seen. Adam and Eve had been pure. It must have been traumatic. And there was planted in their hearts a desire they had never known. Whenever a desire becomes a "driving" force, it's probably from lucifer. When the heart is "drawn" its more likely from God. Fidelity is necessary. Otherwise a woman becomes polluted. I remember the early hunt for a way to treat HIV. Men were most affected and blood samples revealed a host of DNA fragments. These are not all retroviruses like HIV, but they are foreign and accumulative. What happens when a culture gives itself over to sexual sin? DNA fragments possibly passed from generation to generation. It took over 400 years for the Canaanites to become irredeemable. Maybe that had something to do with polluted DNA? Marrying and giving in marriage might have more to do with sexual union than it does with holy matrimony. Whatever marrying means, Jesus makes clear that it is definitely something angels in heaven don't do.
That's one of the questions. We will be like angels. But some angels left their 1st estate oak-a -terrion ( sounded- out word in the Greek- oikētērion). So although created beings, whose who binded an oath together, somehow were able to mix with women. Fascinating!
Noah's sons had wives. They had sons and daughters. People were still living much longer---hundreds of years...there's a biblical record of ages...though the life span has begun to drop at this point in time. Women could start bearing children at the age of 13. In the East, women were married young...probably for optimum child-bearing years and they had large families. So it wouldn't take that long. As in the very beginning, (Adam & Eve), folks had to inter-marry all over again. God didn't prohibit this until He gave the Law in Leviticus (if I'm not mistaken). Who else ya gonna marry? Maybe some of the births were twins? 13 years isn't such a long time. Also, keep in mind...we read chapter to chapter in the Bible, sometimes not realizing how much time has passed between chapters. So, it may sound like a fast "re-population", but not that fast!
People won't help each other freely, as Jesus said to do...From loooooving happily which make life soooo powerfully graaaand ! Toooo much bs..depressing stories right off !!!! In too many things. Spread great helpful info., for joy.
I can see some similarities with the Marvel's movie Eternals. The Eternals might well be the Apkallu and Arishem and co. could be compared to the higher gods
Is there a Spanish translation to this?? I tell my dad he only reads his bible in Spanish, he needs to read it in the language and context it was written in.
@Jack Sinclair In a video interview with Remnant Radio, Dr. Heiser explains that 1st Enoch wasn't written by Enoch, but was simply named after him because Enoch is the main character of the book. That was how people titled books back then. Nobody expected anybody to believe Enoch actually wrote it.
@@therachellianpost4762 Absolutely 🤗 Even still, "Jewish" from Jehuda or the tribe of Judah covered those in the Southern Kingdom. (Judah, Benjamin and Levi). The Northern 10 tribes (13 in all after Joseph became Ephraim and Manassas) were "Israel." Technically, all Jews were Israel (sons of Jacob) but not Israelites were called Jews until the Northern tribes were conquered and scattered by Assiria.
@1:07:00 Well I think you could also ascertain from the Babylonian direct translation of "Babel" their thoughts were to build a stairway into heaven. Sort of mans attempt to invade heaven after these creatures "invaded" earth before the flood. But using this same thought process you could say Jesus, (as fully man) actually did accomplish this after the resurrection which is why he had to tell Mary "Don't touch me as I have not yet ascended to the Father." So Jesus, living as a Jew in the Roman Empire, accomplished in a positive light what Promethues allegedly tried in a negative light. Acts 2: He brought spirit fire to the people and re-unified the language for a period of time. ...I guess the corrective changes didn't take.
Many theories. Shem's line eventually led to Jesus(pure). The other two brothers wives may have had giant DNA mixed in them ...thus the giants after the flood are smaller than pre flood.
I think they came down more than once… possibly why in Corinthians why Paul said On account of the angels, then, a woman should have a covering over her head to show that she is under her husband's authority…. Seems like he was worried about fallen angels repeating what they did in gen 6.
According to some of the Dead Sea Scrolls (including Books of Jasher and Giants), Caanan (Noah's grandson) began trying to recreate them. Not too sure on the specifics, so I'd advise looking into it further and doing research. But it appears that's why Noah cursed Caanan.
The giants were the result of the sons of God lying with women. This can be repeated after the flood. Because the sons of God were not destroyed by the flood. Only their spawn were destroyed with the evil men. The sons of God only have to come back and lie with the women that are produced after the flood, for more giants to be born.
Lol. This lecture is so engaging. He has (we) the audience hanging on every word.

@@AWKNGInc Your teachng on Psalm 82 and this Dvine Council of non human/angles is 100% FALSE, Jesus answers the question. STOP promoting this nonsense and throwing Jesus under the bus with this man centered teaching of Heiser.
When a person read it in the original Hebrew, and you will see the difference between Yahweh as Elohim above all Elohim and the council itself as a lower classification of elohim.
Jesus answers the lower classification of elohim (gods) in John 10: 34 35.
Asaph the Prophet writes Psalm 82: 1 "God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment: Psalm 82:6 - “I said, you are gods.”
John the Disciple/Apsotle writes Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’? 35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),
The lower class of elohim (gods) in Psalm 82 are human NOT non human/angels
WHY because the word of the Lord came to Prophets, God Spoke thru Prophets to the nation of Israel/Jews (Human). The Jews were also given the Law and had the Prophets. NO nonhuman/angel is ever referred to as a Prophet in scripture or were given the Law, Of course angels are messengers in scripture, but that is it.
The Law and Holy Scriptures were given to the nation of Israel/Jews NOT to non humans/angels. How God takes His place in the divine council is by the Prophet Asaph who wrote Psalm 82 and by the Law which was given to the Nation of Israel. What is KEY is that a Prophet of God like Asaph carried and handled the words of the Lord God, Prophets were the VOICE of God that is why it is IMPORTANT that Jesus fulfills these words...... Psalm 82:6 - “I said, you are gods.” ........Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’? 35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),
Even common sense tells us that NO book in scripture is named after a non human being or an angel. The Lord God is in a Covenant relationship with MAN, NOT non human beings or angels. God lifts up Prophets in the OT so Jesus can FULFILL what is written and spoken in the OT Fulfilled by Jesus in the NT. Jesus holds the answer of the "gods" (lower class elohim/gods), they are human in both Psalm 82 and John 10.
@@End_of_Days I'm so glad you have all the answers. So, we can all come to you and ask you everything because you seem to have it ALL figured out 🙄 I guess we shouldn't trust a man who had several Masters degrees, a Doctorate, who was a scholar of biblical languages, and who made this specific study _his life's work._
@@marthaj67 Exactly we should not trust a man. Hope you know Jesus fulfills the words of OT prophets where Heiser never did. Jesus is the teacher (Rabbi) on the subject of the "gods" of Psalm 82, NOT Heiser.
Here is the explanation that points to Jesus, Jesus holds that answer, sure isn't me or Heiser.
>>>>Heiser was a False teacher, he is famous because of Psalm 82. Here is the proper explantion for Psalm 82 with Jesus included.
Jesus answered the question of the "gods" of Psalm 82 in John 10 long before Heiser was even born.
Heiser beleives the "gods' of Psalm 82 are non human super angels of a divine council.
Okay lets look at Psalm 82 and John 10 where it "gods" are used.
Psalm 82: 1 "God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
Psalm 82:6 I said, “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you;
John 10: 34-35 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’? 35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),"
Looking Psalm 82
Word for God in Psalm 82:1 is Elohim with a upper case "E">>>>("God has taken his place") gods is elohim lower case "e" also in Psalm 82:6 lower case. God mentined Once (verse 1) and "gods" mentioned Twice (verses 1 and 6)
Looking at John 10: 34-35
Word for God is Jesus>>>>("Jesus answered them"), Jesus is God and the Son of God second person in the Trinity/Godhead (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). Jesus mentions the word "gods" Twice in verse 34 You are "gods" verse 35 "If he called them "gods"
Another connection there is ONE "I said" in Psalm 82 verse 6 and ONE "I said" in John 10 verse 34. A person has to pair up the "I said" statements that in in both the OT text and NT text.
The "I said" statement is the kicker. The “I said” statement is no different than an “I am” statement. The "I said" and "I am" are declarations of God’s name from the OT, as applied by Jesus to Himself in the NT. The "I said" is only used in Psalm 82 and John 10. Most people are taught Jesus is "quoting" Psalm 82, BUT Jesus is REPEATING what His Father (God) had spoken thru the Prophet Asaph. Aspaph is the Author and Psalmist of Psalm 82. Prophets of the Old Testament like Asaph the "word of the Lord" would come to Prophets like Asaph.
Let's look at an example from scripture, this a prophet after Moses passes away
Deuteronomy 18: 18 "I will raise up for them a prophet like you (Moses) from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him."
Another example
Hosea 1:1 >>>>> "The word of the Lord that came to Hosea," Hosea 1:2 "When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea,"
With these examples from OT scripture Prophets were the "Voice" of God, this is part of the job description of a Prophet to handle and carry the "words" of the Lord God.
Looking again at Psalm 82: 1 "God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:" and Psalm 82:6 I said, “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you;"
HOW God has taken His place in the divine council (other translations"congregation of the mighty" or "great assembly") is by the Prophet Asaph who is the Psalmist who handled and carried the words of the Lord God. The divine council, congregation of the mighty" or "great assembly are the "gods" in Psalm 82:1 and Psalm 82:6
Psalm 82:6 I said, “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you;
John 10: 34-35 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’? 35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),"
Again since the "I said" is the kicker, Jesus who is God (Son) goes on telling us who had the "law" and whom the " to whom the word of God came", that would be the "gods" which are Human and would be the Jews of whom Jesus is Addressing in John 10:34-35, so the same LOGIC would be applied to Psalm 82 that Humans are being addressed Psalm 82, NOT non human super angels of a divine council.
Jesus is the word/Word become Flesh>>>>John 1:14 "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Since Jesus is the Word become flesh, He is now carrying and handling the words of HIS Father from the Old Testament in the New Testament that is WHY it says in John 10:35 ((and the Scripture cannot be broken). Jesus has to Fulfill the words of the Old Testamen, which would also include His Birth and His Crucifixion (Isaiah 53).
Jesus fulfills the Law and the Prophets, Jesus says in Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill."
Jesus TOTALLY answers the question of the "gods" of Psalm 82 in John 10, becasue Jesus is repeating what God spoke through the Prophet Asaph. Humans (gods) are being addressed in Psalm 82 and in John 10.
What Heiser has done is Idolatry he got so many chasing after a phony and false divine council made up of a bunch of nonhuman gods (super angels). Heiser has cheated Jesus out of the answer of the "gods" of Psalm 82, because he never pointed a person to Jesus in John 10. Heiser was a blind teacher and a false teacher when it came to Psalm 82.
Final Note: "To die like men" from Psalm 82, are referring to the "gods", probably referring to Jewish Elders who are Rulers, Judges or even kings with in the nation of Isarael are given this authoriy, becasue they have the Law of God and are to uphold the Law of God, they are to represent God and His Law, but are doing a awful job (Psalm 82: 2-5), that is why they are being scolded. Since God has all Authority over them and is Supreme Authority of life and death, these officials with high authoriy over Israel will die like men, because they are men.
Psalm 82:2 "“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked>>>>>>>>Men Judge (Jewish rulers), not a bunch of super angels of a divine council.
@@End_of_Days AMEN!! Thank you Jesus. Jesus is the Answer and has the Answer, do not Trust man!!

Same here, I’ve learned more from him than anyone else. And I only discovered him in September! His death has hit me hard, it’s really affecting me. 😢 ugh. Death 😖💔
Wow and wow. Where has this guy been in my 40 years of walking with the Lord. Better late than never.

Where was he? Putting things together into a cohesive whole… then God took him!
@@appaloosa42 I miss him. He was/is a beloved servant of the Most High. And I miss him.
So grateful Dr. Heiser appeared on my phone. In the last ten days my understanding of the Bible has intensified like the sunrise after a new moon. It's beautiful. Fascinating. Comforting. Grateful and listening.✝️
You are missed Mike❤You have left us with a beautiful message given by God. He has called you home because you have done his will. And without one doubt ...he has said, "welcome, well done son"❤
We really lost an important brother in Christ Jesus like Dr. Heiser. He's now with the one he dedicated his life to, and I'm sure greatly rewarded in the Lord's kingdom.
This man has answered so many of my unanswered questions plus confirmed things that I suspected from my own studying. I'm so glad the Lord has opened all of his teachings up to me. I needed it
I just discovered Dr Michael Heiser last week and my view and perspective of the bible when I read it now has not been the same. His legacy lives on, thank you so much Dr H, for being an instrument used by God to bring spiritual wisdom, knowledge and understanding to us all.
Outstanding!❤
Imagine how different the world would be if this had 20 million views.
I am so grateful that Dr Heiser's teaching is free for us to learn. Why have we NEVER been taught about the Divine Counsel of God? Dr Heiser shows how the Bible makes so much more sense. I tried to understand this about 10 yrs ago. I guess I wasnt ready. I didnt know if I could trust it. It was all so different. Now that our world is in TOTAL chaos in 2021, I have started watching him again. (when Dr Heiser was better for awhile) It is incredible how much more he teaches about God and His creation. I know God is blessing this mighty servant and Micheal is finally well in the presence of his Savior and Lord. Thank you to whoever is posting this.💙
You said it exactly as I feel as well! This has opened my eyes and heart and makes so much sense now
As a teacher, I had to teach Shakespeare and Greek Mythology. The thought occurred to me that there was something to the whole Greek gods and pantheon. I mean, I knew it wasn't thee truth, but I figured those ancient people had a reason for believing in multiple gods. Years later ( 2022/, e stumble upon the Unseen Realm and now these lectures. I've long held that racism and hate are demonic... it's all spiritual and that's why it is present from generation to generation, and even if you have a group of folks who look alike, they will find SOMETHING to dislike or hate about each other. Babies and small children aren't like that. They just want to love each other and play. Maybe that is why Jesus advised us to have a heart like them. But I digress. My point is that we truly do war against principalities and strongholds. Those in the spiritual realm who hate us do a wonderful job of tricking us into destroying ourselves and each other. Heiser does a good job of explaining what's going on in the spiritual backdrop of humanity.
Dr Michael Heiser videos are my absolute favorite to watch more than anything else on TH-cam besides Audio Bible & Words of Jesus
Chuck Smith elucidates Christian Livin Nd Chuck Missler the science of creation.

Mike is an excellent teacher. Yes he was in life a believer and a man with all the shortcomings of any man.
He chose to follow GOD. And his teachings were gifted to him by his endless passion for teaching.
I find great inspiration and insights in his teachings.
He is and was a true man after GOD ♥️ heart.
Unseen Realm, Reversing Hermon, Angels, Demons. I've read the first 3 and am reading Demons now. Love your work Dr. Heiser! I am, as you've stated in other lectures of yours I've binged on, reading the Bible again for the first time! You've opened up so much. I am grateful for you and am praying for you for God to bring you through this trial.
Such astonishing teaching should not be missed! I am enlightened and utterly flabbergasted by this phenomenal information.

He passed away about a year ago. Yes have to spread his work in these end times more widely!
If I remember correctly, I heard Michael say how VERY shy he was most his life. If u watch his very first videos you can see how shy and quiet he was. And God opened that up and gave Him a Holy confidence. 🙏🏻
Spread the word world wide… stage and audience
Dr. Heiner is truly a prophet for our time. His GIFT opens our eyes to the realities surrounding us and so many things don’t look the same anymore.

Maybe once or twice in a generation does this occur. I will be grateful until that glorious day.
This series is amazing BUT this episode (number 3) is my cream of the crop. Wow. Explaining and breaking down the writers of the Bible, so good.
Thanks you Dr. Michael S. Heiser. Your goal of helping non-academics more deeply understand some of these concepts has worked with me. It has helped me see more intimacy with God. It has inspired me to discover for myself also.
its interesting to consider the number of views on this material here on youtube, not many masses of people, very intelligent, intriguing deep calls to deep kind of information. Hos.4:6 my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Praise God for the wisdom God gave Michael Heiser. Ephesians 6:12 has an even deeper meaning to me now. I understand the real "spiritual" war we see in this world. Rebellion against God produces death and destruction. Let us worship God in spirit and truth! Looking forward to Jesus' return, when the King is leading the world in righteousness and Satan is bound!

Dr Chuck Missler is great too.
Michael Heiser is one heck of a dude. I’m so so happy he came into my life.
I always wonder about the dagon bit.... Good to hear someone's perspective on it.
What’s funny is how “we will never see it.” And yet people saw it. No know against Heiser. I love the man. I think it’s amazing how God will get his word and theology to his people. He will bring his revelation. 🔥❤️🔥❤️
Excellent lecture. Truth upon Truth upon Truth that matters for living in Christ, who is our cosmic geographic location! I hold to a preterist eschatology based on the context of the divine council worldview. Yet, I'd say, regardless of any eschatological view, the truth presented here matters most.
Amazing. It now all makes sense. Thanks Dr. Heiser for decoding the mystery.
Exo 33:19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of Yahuah before you; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
Dr.Heiser’s presentation is very enlightening. I learned a great amount of information because the Dr. has me looking at the supernatural in a whole new light & it totally makes sense. This is great work, thank you Dr.
I am in a bible college Valor Christian college I just started a class we or in one of his books right now I just seen where he has went home to his reward I know he heard well done good and faithful servant
Love love love thank you
Learning so much
❤ love this powerful
It fascinates me how Dr. Heiser manages to treat the material as human and scholarly yet as revelation! If my grad school profs had been more like that I might well have gone on for a PhD, but too many of them regarded any treatment of the scriptures as actually human literature as being anathema; some of them would most likely have treated a book like Unseen Realm as "worldly".
The law is the only way that we too can be holy
Be holy for thy father in Heaven is Holy
Wow and wow! As so many others have said it's bring so much context to the whole of scripture and makes the word of God even more wondrous! I have only one question in all of this but it's a big one I don't know how Dr Heiser could go into so much detail on the stuff that was missed and somehow never explains how the Nephilim in Genesis 6 who sinned so greatly appear again after the flood weren't they all wiped out in the flood?? Did I miss this in this teaching or does he address it somewhere else?? sure would love it if there was an answer to this because everything else is so engaging!
Well he talks about it but doesn’t, remember how he talked about the Nephilim being 2/3 or 1/3 Nephilim, they came through one of the wives of Noah’s sons, from her genetic pool, she was part Nephilim and it manifested in some of her offspring, that’s why they are 2/3 or 1/3, and I guess those offspring married and had offspring together and so they were re-established, I don’t remember which wife, but it can be traced. I’ve seen it traced to the lands they settled and their descendants.
The battle start out of my relationship with the father made possible through Christ.
Where I go and which battles happen are not my choice.
Knowledge is good it can puff up yes.
Iwe can listen to this in present tense- it’s been happening all along- use Hollywood and DC as the new Babylon-

213. RETURN ME TO PARADISE
A sinner though I am, a Child of God I became
Not through my own doings, but on the power of Jesus’ name.
The path here was long, lonely, and hard
But now Christ Jesus is my reward.
He lovingly sacrificed Himself to set me free
Now bound together We are throughout Eternity.
All my sins are forgiven and have parted from me
When I presented myself before my God to see.
Forgive me Lord for I am not a holy one
I am not even worthy to kneel before Your Son.
If it were not for His shed blood that washed me clean
I could not offer myself before You to be seen.
But I understand now the offer Christ has made
For this is what I offer You for when I have disobeyed.
Christ is the One who could make the Perfect sacrifice
For He is the only One who could return me to Paradise.
And if you ask in Christ Name
As for you He will do the same.
Truly devastating to see how quickly he got ill and passed away
Excellent.
I wish Heiser were still here. 😢 I'd love to know what Jesus meant when he said, "I saw Satan fall from heaven..." I wonder if he ever discussed that in his lectures.
It seems he had to be speaking historically and not present tense of when the 70 disciples were casting out demons. ????
Good for you! I have the same question, and came to the conclusion that this verse is MUCH misinterpreted and (I think) you had it right. Jesus did NOT say that he saw Satan Fall from Heaven. He said he saw satan fall as LIGHTENING! The exact words are "like lightening from heaven". The words don't make sense in a historic context. The power of God working through the disciples against the kingdom of darkness has nothing to do with the other event. Jesus was describing the manner of which Satan's kingdom fell...QUICKLY! In a flash! Like lightening. The word "Heaven" has 3 meanings...1) the abode of God 2) the universe 3) the sky. Like lightening falls from the sky, that's how darkness fell. CONTEXT. Also, there are OTHER ideas about the origin of Satan. Most people--including Heiser, think that Satan "fell". That he was once 'good' but became bad. The OTHER lesser idea is that God made Satan the way he is for God's purposes. There's a verse in Col 1:16 that says everything was made BY God and FOR God. (very important). If God did not create evil, then where did it come from? If it exists outside of God, then it is MORE powerful than God is, and we know that to be impossible? I like Heiser and this series is very interesting and he gets a lot of things right. But whenever people embrace the fall of Satan, than, I think, we get off track a bit and miss some things. I personally hold to the view that Adam (man) is the one who "fell". That if we're gonna spiritual the famous Isaiah passage (14) & Ezekiel (28), it's Adam/man who once had the high position with God in Eden--the mountain of God. It describes God's human creation (verse 12) and the list of gemstones in verse 13 are the same ones on the breastplate of the priest in Leviticus. And believers ARE priests! Verse 15 "blameless from the day of your creation until iniquity was found in you." (sounds like Adam/man). But through Christ...mankind gets it all back...the relationship with God, to rule and reign (as before), the sonship etc. But that's my take on it, anyway.
Too mamy ads!!
Romans 8:14
For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.
Isaiah 44:6
I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God beside me.
False gods explained: Psalms 115
❤ oh my ….. so good
Something just blew my mind. The fact that the Rephaim were the offspring of other gods and women is in direct contrast to Jesus being born of Holy Spirit and a woman. Jesus coming in the flesh is a direct checkmate to this the Rephaim even being born!
The hybrid lawless breeders the Ahcalu
Were the original vampires and werewolves the horse tick people. Lawless unsanctioned masaginations of Unclean Mixtures
I love all of this! It fills in the gaps. I have never heard this. I do have one question. Where was God when all of this with the deities and the apkallu was taking place? I mean, He must have known. Did He let it all happen? Also, I thought it was God who destroyed the Earth with the flood. He didn't?😮
God does know. He gave freewill to all, yes He did flood whole earth to destroy the hybrids and reengineered creatures ..
God is all knowing. I've wondered for a long time. Why did the Lord not bind or destroy satan, when He knew that he was going to tempt man in the garden? Not taking away our freewill, just preventing Eve from ever being tempted? I know there is a reason, because I know God is perfect and everything He does is true and just. I was just curious about this, because I don't know how to respond to this question when it's asked by a secular person.
If you view part 1 of this, he explains that God gave humans free will. He didn't make us robots. In order to be truly free means there is freedom to choose against God. And Satan was created to be that choice. But God knew in advance that would happen and had a plan before the world was ever made (1 Peter 1:20) to redeem His people. Also--this just my opinion-- that God's love is best known through forgiveness.
Rest in Perfect Peace.
It is so sad though....these poor unclean spirits were born into this. They did not have a choice.....but that is why Jesus went down and ministered to them, just like he died to save us I believe he also went down to give the same opportunity.
He went to confirm those who died in faith. He then to confront the parent fallen angels, they had raised their offspring to be totally evil and Hate all of humanity. They believe themselves superior to and better than humanity.
Demons see us as less than dung. They see humans as their property, houses, food.
They play mind games and manipulate people.
They have minds and emotions; But, Do Not be deceived they HATE us!
They are Not human and really want to destroy us. They rejected God while alive and wallowed in evil.
Like us, once dead too late. They want to take us down with them.
My impression of this passage is that it refers to the use of tefillom, or phylacteries. Think about Jews praying at the Western Wall in Jerusalem even today, they tie small leather cases to their right hand and hat band with Scripture verses inside. Culturally, John would have referred to falsified prayer in which the beast requires his own mark (which could be Nero's/Caesar's name if you want to play the gematria game) to be written on the paper in the tefillom in lieu of true scripture, thus defiling the prayers being offered in that time.
Have he ever spoken about the apocalypse and his understanding on it ??? I hear all this pre-tribulation rapture and post-tribulation rapture debates going on here on TH-cam .
Dr Heiser is actually very careful about making end times predictions from scriptures. He not in any 'camp' but cautions them all. 🙏
Jewish guys ruling in the sky. My favorite 😂
Great
God's Torah has been since the garden but it was first written down at Mount Sinai
1:16:41 Can you tell us which cultural texts reference the concept of “we worship other gods because that is what the Most High wanted” ? I came from occult circles based in hermetic and thelema teachings, and my evangelical ministry is to those who are still in those practices or similar. More scholarly resources to share with them would be incredibly helpful - thank you!
57:17
Is there any scripture or something to refer to about demons getting out of Tarterus to mess with people?
@Will No. Jude v6 is clear those that fell to Hermon, "he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto (until) the judgement of the great day" The second coming of Christ and the great white throne where everyone will give an account for their life. These will never be freed only eternally judged.
imo...the fall was the effect of taking into one's heart the knowledge of sexual sin. Adam and Eve wanted to cover their private parts. They felt shame. It brings to mind the first time i was exposed to pornology. I was young. I had never seen pornography and this was supposed to be a date with two other couples. I hung my head in shame and tried very hard to keep my tears from being seen. Adam and Eve had been pure. It must have been traumatic. And there was planted in their hearts a desire they had never known. Whenever a desire becomes a "driving" force, it's probably from lucifer. When the heart is "drawn" its more likely from God. Fidelity is necessary. Otherwise a woman becomes polluted. I remember the early hunt for a way to treat HIV. Men were most affected and blood samples revealed a host of DNA fragments. These are not all retroviruses like HIV, but they are foreign and accumulative. What happens when a culture gives itself over to sexual sin? DNA fragments possibly passed from generation to generation. It took over 400 years for the Canaanites to become irredeemable. Maybe that had something to do with polluted DNA? Marrying and giving in marriage might have more to do with sexual union than it does with holy matrimony. Whatever marrying means, Jesus makes clear that it is definitely something angels in heaven don't do.
That's one of the questions. We will be like angels. But some angels left their 1st estate oak-a -terrion ( sounded- out word in the Greek- oikētērion). So although created beings, whose who binded an oath together, somehow were able to mix with women. Fascinating!
NLT has a lot of these translations
After the flood, where did all the women come from if they had to be born, grow into adults for all these cultures to be so populated it so fast?
Noah's sons had wives. They had sons and daughters. People were still living much longer---hundreds of years...there's a biblical record of ages...though the life span has begun to drop at this point in time. Women could start bearing children at the age of 13. In the East, women were married young...probably for optimum child-bearing years and they had large families. So it wouldn't take that long. As in the very beginning, (Adam & Eve), folks had to inter-marry all over again. God didn't prohibit this until He gave the Law in Leviticus (if I'm not mistaken). Who else ya gonna marry? Maybe some of the births were twins? 13 years isn't such a long time. Also, keep in mind...we read chapter to chapter in the Bible, sometimes not realizing how much time has passed between chapters. So, it may sound like a fast "re-population", but not that fast!
PEACE AND BLESSINGS TO HIS FAMILY! WE HAVE LOST A GREAT MAN OF GOD!
People won't help each other freely, as Jesus said to do...From loooooving happily which make life soooo powerfully graaaand ! Toooo much bs..depressing stories right off !!!! In too many things. Spread great helpful info., for joy.
I can see some similarities with the Marvel's movie Eternals. The Eternals might well be the Apkallu and Arishem and co. could be compared to the higher gods
Re 9:12 …. Weren’t all animals in the Garden of Eden , tame???? Snakes included? If so, Adam and Eve wouldn’t have seen the serpent as a threat.
Is there a Spanish translation to this?? I tell my dad he only reads his bible in Spanish, he needs to read it in the language and context it was written in.
I think l saw Dr. Heiser's work in Spanish. Also, Derek Prince work comes in Spanish too.
How could Enoch have been Jewish? He was born before Noah therefore Shem and well before Judah?
@Jack Sinclair In a video interview with Remnant Radio, Dr. Heiser explains that 1st Enoch wasn't written by Enoch, but was simply named after him because Enoch is the main character of the book. That was how people titled books back then. Nobody expected anybody to believe Enoch actually wrote it.
@@therachellianpost4762
Absolutely 🤗
Even still, "Jewish" from Jehuda or the tribe of Judah covered those in the Southern Kingdom. (Judah, Benjamin and Levi). The Northern 10 tribes (13 in all after Joseph became Ephraim and Manassas) were "Israel." Technically, all Jews were Israel (sons of Jacob) but not Israelites were called Jews until the Northern tribes were conquered and scattered by Assiria.
@1:07:00 Well I think you could also ascertain from the Babylonian direct translation of "Babel" their thoughts were to build a stairway into heaven. Sort of mans attempt to invade heaven after these creatures "invaded" earth before the flood. But using this same thought process you could say Jesus, (as fully man) actually did accomplish this after the resurrection which is why he had to tell Mary "Don't touch me as I have not yet ascended to the Father." So Jesus, living as a Jew in the Roman Empire, accomplished in a positive light what Promethues allegedly tried in a negative light. Acts 2: He brought spirit fire to the people and re-unified the language for a period of time. ...I guess the corrective changes didn't take.
Sounds like the annukia
Maybe Dr. Heiser misspoke. At the 36:30 mark he says Enoch was Jewish.
How did the giant DNA survive the flood?
It did not. The sons of God must have lain again with the women who were born after the flood and born another set of giants.
Many theories. Shem's line eventually led to Jesus(pure). The other two brothers wives may have had giant DNA mixed in them ...thus the giants after the flood are smaller than pre flood.
God knew all along that man would fall etc etc..... It's all to display His glory. Period. End of story. Full stop.............
29:00
OK
How can there be descendants of Nephilim (Anakim) if they were all killed in the Flood?
I think they came down more than once… possibly why in Corinthians why Paul said On account of the angels, then, a woman should have a covering over her head to show that she is under her husband's authority…. Seems like he was worried about fallen angels repeating what they did in gen 6.
According to some of the Dead Sea Scrolls (including Books of Jasher and Giants), Caanan (Noah's grandson) began trying to recreate them. Not too sure on the specifics, so I'd advise looking into it further and doing research. But it appears that's why Noah cursed Caanan.
@@DrGeorgePBurdell-USN1701 Oh, interesting. Thanks for the reply.
The giants were the result of the sons of God lying with women. This can be repeated after the flood. Because the sons of God were not destroyed by the flood. Only their spawn were destroyed with the evil men. The sons of God only have to come back and lie with the women that are produced after the flood, for more giants to be born.
You’re that “Christian” who says Monster drinks are the devil. I bet you’re related to the Waterboy’s mama.😂
Annukia
Yep your not going to get this in simitary or church
