PLEASE DONT PASS ME BY. Please pray with me brothers and sisters, I am a heroin dependent. The sickness when I stop every eight hours is so bad it literally stops me. I want to be holy I want to worship in spirit and in truth. I know he’s coming and he needs me to spread the word and do his work. Please don’t give up on me.
Prayers for you Sam-- 29 Then I said to you, 'Do not be in dread or afraid of them [or it] . 30 The LORD your God who goes before you will himself fight for you, just as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes, 31 and in the wilderness, where you have seen how the LORD your God c a r r i e d you, as a man carries his son, all the way that you went until you came to this place.' [Deu 1:29-31 ESV] Let Him fight your battle-- surrender unto Him and He will carry you through, as a man carries the son He loves.
¡Amén! Done. Tony Evans has a sermon or a sermon series on strongholds vs addictions that I hope & pray will help you. I think I heard it or them on March or April 2020. The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace. ¡Amén! Num 6:24-26.
Never too late. My husband's great grandma became a Christian at 82 and lived to be 104! At her 100th BD party she gave her testimony - she just wished she had gave her life to God about 75 years earlier. Congrats Donut and welcome to the family!
It's amazing Doctor Heiser can extract from the biblical text GEM STONES connecting them making this trip through the old Testament so exciting!!! Wow!!
"I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you." (John 15:19) And so it has been since the days of Abel being hated and murdered of Cain in his jealousy.
@Eightball Wizard it’s not about a literal tall tower dude. It was the fact that mankind tried to build something really cool so they could worship themselves, not God. And no, I don’t think it’s a sin to fund NASA
Heiser was the last big step the Holy Spirit lead me to after rebuilding my faith from the ground up. With Heiser's guided insight the puzzle pieces started falling into place. The big picture, the complete story, backstories, previous "meaningless" passages or details suddenly have significance that "plain reading" of the Bible just doesn't reveal, especially the KJV.
@@Baltic_Hammer6162 yes!!!! His Ministry has had the same affect in me!!!! I find my self all excited, like a little kid on Christmas morning. Fueled by the energy of the adrenaline release as they get up in the wee hours, before the sun, to find a Lite blinking, colorful Christmas tree, with a mountain of wrapped presents cascading from underneath its canopy..... I am just busting at the seams, to tell, those closest to me, all that I am learning. I find myself thinking and praying all the time now. Dr. Heiser's work has resulted in me being closer to The Lord than I ever thought possible. I'm no longer fearful of The Lord, in that I trust him completely to accomplish for me all that I cannot. My fear diminished, my respect for Him, and my desire to please Him is growing through the roof. He is my #1 advocate, & comforter... ❤️🙏❤️🙏I've been richly Blessed❤️🙏❤️🙏
@@Baltic_Hammer6162 Similar story with me. Tho never completely gave up the basic reaching out to The Creator in Jesus name, I went thru the gamut of “spirituality” from a shined up version of Luciferianism all the way to atheism which ended with the struggle with my indigenous religions. God was faithful thru my journey and used Heiser to answer so many questions and show scripture as the cohesive whole that it is and finally put the spiritual hierarchy in an understandable perspective once seemingly only offered by the occult .. also Michael Brown - Jesus in the Old Testament, James White- veracity/transmission of scripture, along w Phil Fernandez, Walter Martin, & other apologists.
It’s amazing to finally discover real scripture that confirms all the beliefs I’ve had about other gods, angels and nations etc but thought I was just getting carried away with my imagination. It all started with the story of Daniels prayer being held up by the prince of Persia - from before I was 10 until now that has always fascinated and confused me.
“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.” 2 Timothy 3:16 NLT
NLT is not a great translation. Try ESV, or at least NIV. The NLT goes too far in their translation where it crosses into interpretation, which translators should not do.
@@jimyoung9262 I live by the KJV but I appreciate the AMP, the NLT, and CJB and the MSG, they get pretty close to the Hebrew and Greek and Latin translations and make it more plain.
Great video!!!!!! We are learning a lot with you, dear brother in Jesus Christ. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. My ten year old daughter and I always pray for you and your family. May God keep you all safe and healthy, in the name of Jesus. Amen! 🙏😃
I've been studying all day. CE requirements for my RN license renewal. Grrrrr. Lol. My brain is NUMB!! Decided to take a break when I got the notification for this video. Thank you, Thank you! YOU'RE THE BEST 🙏
Explaining the entire meta-narrative of scripture in like eight minutes is probably the most helpful thing I’ve found! It helps evangelism in such an incomparable way! To give someone a better narrative to life that they can line up side by side with...you name it; mindless unguided processes, Gaia, the epics of history past, ism’s of all kinds, & especially to the seekers who await the alien invasion ! To cut right through the trap of ... “”if God is... than why...fill in the blank from completely uninformed to the ultra “”God ordains Everything even evil, type of fruitless rabbit holes. Thanks for all you do! Thanks again! PS The naked Bible podcast is the greatest podcast of all time!
It won’t be forever. “Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.” Isa 19:25
_And their dead bodies will lie on the street of _*_THE GREAT CITY_*_ which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified._ (Rev 11.8). _The woman [Babylon per 17.5] whom you saw is _*_THE GREAT CITY_*_ which reigns over the kings of the earth._ (Rev 17.18) _”And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all who have been slain on the earth/land.”_ (Rev 18.24) _”Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her!”_ (Mat 23.37) _for your [Babylon’s] merchants were the great men of the earth, for all the nations were deceived by your “PHARMAKEIA”_ (Rev 18.23) Christ warned people to flee at the end of the age who lived where? NYC? Rome? No, "JUDEA," when they see the abomination/idol of desolation set up in the holy place/temple (Matthew 24:14-15) which hasn't happened yet. He also warned those about fleeing in winter or on the SABBATH (Mat 24.20) which shows it will be strictly enforced under the reign of the false messiah. _"Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues."_ (Rev 18:4) Is it a coincidence in Revelation the harlot comes riding on a red beast in the wilderness (the Temple Institute in Jerusalem is preparing a red heifer sacrifice to bring back the temple ministry which in the Torah is prescribed to be sacrificed in the wilderness) and dressed in the colors and jewels describing the high priestly garment from Exodus 28.4-11? A Jerusalem Post 2017 article lets the cat out of the bag revealing that Israel will be the capital of the nwo, titled “Israel and the unexpected new world order” And Revelation doesn't say Babylon (Jerusalem) is a port city, that's a red herring suddenly being spread widely in an online campaign. It just says the smoke of it can be seen from the sea and that it has merchants ships -- which is just like in the time of Solomon (king of Jerusalem) who ruled over a trade bloc in the region and had fleets of merchant ships and was at one point even earning 666 talents of gold. The Jerusalem Post article from 2017 (see above) talks about a plan to do this again and even cites the kingdom of Solomon in comparison.

More info from my notes: _"And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were BUYING AND SELLING in the temple"_ (Mat 21.12) In Revelation 13 we have the second beast/false prophet who comes imitating the signs of Elijah to do 3 important things the rabbis expect Elijah to do: 1) Renew the Sinai covenant marriage which in the Torah came with sealing the congregation with the mark of the Name of God in the forehead and hand in dedication of thoughts and works through the Aaronic Benediction as symbolized by the tefillin (Mark of the beast); 2) restore the sacrifices which only those in the covenant could participate in with the money-changers and merchants Yeshua threw out (buying and selling); 3) regather and number the tribes in a census as in the books of Numbers and Ezra by heads of family names (number of names/number of men). These are expected by the rabbis for Elijah to perform before the arrival of their (false) messiah who will enforce the Sinai covenant marriage in defiance of the new covenant marriage announced by Jeremiah who said it would not be like the one at Sinai (Jeremiah 31). Hence, the law is for the lawless (1Tim 1.9) and we know the false messiah is also called the lawless one (2Thes 2.8).

Dr. Heiser...I know you are currently sitting along the host of elders worshipping our GOD, YAWEH. THE ALMIGHTY creator of all things. You have open my eyes & have answered one question I've had struggled with for many years of why the Jew, GOD'S chosen people had to suffer so much throughout history. Once I read & re-read the book of Dueteronomy and listened to Dr. Heiser explained, and then I understood. GOD chose them as his own people, he blessed them, he gave them everything, they repeatedly turned away from him. They betrayed him finally by crucified him on the cross ✝️ 😢😭😭😭. My heart is breaking 💔 😢 every time I think of it 😭😭😭
WOW !!! Brother thank you for all you do. You have been given a great gift to bring the real meat of His word forth. May He bless you greatly and shine the countenance of His face upon you and your ministry 🙏

I hadn't realized that there was a whole new group of Elohim as overseers of the nations during the incursion of Babel. I was always confused because the Elohim from Genesis 6 had be chained in the pit, so how were they now at Babel? I find it amazing that this new group would rebel again having the example of what happened to the watchers during this initial rebellion. Thank you so much for clearing that up for me brother Mike; boy, I am feeling some what dumb right now for missing that. GOD bless you and yours in the name of ✝Jesus Christ/Yeshua Ha Mashiach✝!
Doc, I am wondering if the nations are still under the lordship of assigned Elohim who rebelled ? Does America have such a step-god as Michael called them? So has God allowed those original assigned Elohim to continue to rule all these years?
@@lw216316 I cannot definitively answer that question, but I would have to say that they would be under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Also, GOD told the Elohim that they would die like men; however, I am unaware of a life expectancy for them as was declare for men (120 years) by GOD. Additionally, I am, by NO means, a biblical scholar of any sort and this question would require a scholar to provide an authoritative answer.
@@lw216316 no. Jesus took back all dominion & authority. Took back God's Kingdom & reconciled the nations, reinherited us. Satan was cast down & bound, restricted in his influence. Jesus descended into Sheol, took possession of the keys of hades & overcame death. Set the captives in Abraham's Bosom free & now when we die we go straight to be with the Lord, rather that to Sheol. The angels will be judged. The Last enemy is death. After Satan is loosed for a "little season", he, death & all it's inhabitants (those who have rejected God's plan of redemption/restoration) will be cast into the lake of fire. The angels that sinned in gen 6 were to be bound for 70 generations (according to 1 Enoch) & then judged.
Elohim are actually the children of El, El and his sisters/wives(Ashtart, Asherah and Dione) had 70 sons and an unknown number of daughters. So even if some Elohim are lost there will still be plenty to go around
I like Dr. Heiser's work a lot. I came to the same conclusions a few years ago myself, but did not undergo the massive amount of study necessary to finely elaborate and systematize the evidence that he has. It is somewhat amazing to me that all of this was just sitting there under our noses for so long, and we didn't see it. I guess when you are mired in the trappings of culture what should be plain and obvious becomes invisible.
When the Heart STOPS, is when Life Begins. "The Soul Lives Forever'' Where is Your Choice, sin to Hell, or Heaven Because of Yeshua/Jesus Forgiveness of sin. Ask HIM NOW while U still have breath, Don't Gamble with your Eternal Soul!
God's longsuffering for the nations... the nations are "angry" in Revelation 11:18 and after Christ reigns they still intend to join together (as in Babel) to battle against God in Revelation 20:8.

The changes made via different languages may be a cause. Yet Father YahUah said his name and title do not change. Yet in translating? If the phonetic tones don't match? People may want it to mean the same. Yet to Father????....
Because some people were polytheistic during that time. Heiser would say they believed in many gods but knew Yahweh was still the God of the most high. The other gods of the ANE were a way to get things. If the crops were bad, they would worship the god of agriculture.
I've usually assumed Yahweh wasn't active enough in daily life for their satisfaction so they still turned to their favorite deities for things even though it was forbidden. Asking them to worship only him was asking a lot more than we realize today I think. Love your username and image, btw.
The answer is actually given in the Ten Commandments and paralleled later in Israelite history with Jeroboam I. They didn't necessarily worship another god. Not according to them at least. They actually fashioned the golden calf as a physical representation of Yahweh. They took the calf and called it Yahweh. I think that, among other things, it was another attempt at manipulating God like Babel, IMHO.
U know when i was a child watching ten commandments. It says no other gods before me. Not there are no others. Or im the only one Its saying worship me not them. I picked it up in elementary school. I even asked mom and she actually hadnt thought of it. The sorcerers in egypt had power... just a firecracker to the nuke the lord gave egypt. I was irritated for years over this. Then i see this man from inspiring philosophy on divine council My jaw dropped I wasnt the only one that seen it.
Dr. Heiser please answer I am wondering if the nations are still under the lordship of assigned Elohim who rebelled ? Does America have such a step-god as you called them? So has God allowed those original assigned Elohim to continue to rule all these years?
No, Jesus is now Lord of the entire world, reigning as King from heaven over all the nations. That happened at his Resurrection (Matthew 28:18). Those other elohim are just renegades, rebels, awaiting destruction at the end times.
I think they had to loosen their grip, but that they still rule if people give them power. so they are still working with peoples free will. like Rogue rulers. they will not be destroyed, before the end of time, even tough they have been already beaten.
I LOVE IT, Mr. Heiser, I LOVE THIS TALK! I love how you explain the scriptures in layman's term. To the believers that 'understand' what you are teaching. I understand. YAHUAH'S and Yeshua's walk/teaching is like a giant puzzle for His followers to piece together and get the whole picture of salvation and eventual eternal life. "If you seek, you will find". I LOVE IT! But sadly today, millions perhaps billions reject GOD, reject Yeshua's existence. The great apostasy! It will be TOO LATE for them. But...Praise YAH!
Who were “ the other gods? Did they have names? Could they be the Titans and gods of the Ancient Greek and Romans? Where are they now? So much I don’t know. Thanks for all you do and share with us and for Father’s Kingdom and glory Dr Mike Grateful.
I've truly felt for a good 3-4 years that Peterson is searching and longing for spiritual answers, spiritual explanations. He would benefit so much if he had Heiser guiding him through the Bible. Peterson seems to be trying his best make sense of the big picture of God and the Bible, but he struggles. Because of that he makes a lot of biblical errors and needs help. Intellectually and spiritually he would be a great student of Heiser and become even more effective in fighting back against the dark forces threatening him and our whole society.
I read that these were places where the watchers were worshipped as false deities. That somehow being higher in the air lead a person closer to heaven. Of course it was heresy of high order and the watchers knew this. Sort of an inside jibe at Yahweh, because he of course knows that higher elevations do not mean you are closer to his kingdom.
@@jasonleveck8546 Also, looking at Isaiah 14, we read of The Opponent’s desire to rise high - higher and higher - five times higher until the final ambition is to ‘be like God’... but which name for God is chosen? The Most High!!The Satan is obsessed by heights.
It was the ancient worldview, with “heaven” meaning ABOVE (sky) as the abode of gods (and today we know that stars are not “up in the sky” but light years away). Importantly, the pagan conception of gods is not that they are omnipresent, but rather localized, whether in the sky or upon the earth. Modern Japan still follows the belief in Shinto, in which there are thousands of gods, living in sacred places on earth. When Japanese visit a Shinto shrine they clap their hands to “wake up” the god(s) and announce their arrival (so their gods are not omniscient either).
Hermon is the counterfeit mountain of congregation where a corrupted number of SONS OF GOD first arrived and the Tower of Babel is a portal that could possibly set free the imprisoned SONS OF GOD
This version of God expectations are so high that humanity and the sons of God rebel over and over. Of course something is wrong with everybody else except this version of God. OIY!
1 Had the 70 "Sons of God" put over the nations - rebelled before they was put over the Nations? or did they rebell after a while? 2 and was they still in the Divine Council - when they was put over the nations?
This might sound like a bit of a reach... but I wonder if the Tower of Babel was one of the very first (if not the original) "phallic structures / symbols" that might have been very similar to the phallic-shaped obelisks that we see in St. Peter's Square and the Washington Monument in Washington DC. Said another way... the building of the Tower of Babel was tantamount to extending a phallus (or a middle finger) directly in The Face of Almighty God. No wonder The Lord was angry with them.
When Mike says God divorced the Nations. It reminded me of the Golden calf. The whole nation of Israel was to be a kingdom of priests. But they wanted a golden calf. So the Levites got the position instead. Just like Abraham got the inheritance instead of the Nations.
Dr. Heiser, which Ziggurat and which Mesopotamian kingship period were you referring to when you were talking about Tower of Babel here? Considering that the king and his people at the time worshipped other gods, how did God communicate with the Sumerians/Akkadians/any other people's group that he had had enough with them? As a Christian who is interested in the history of civilization, I am still puzzled about how to reconcile events and 'protagonists' in Genesis 1-11 and events and kingship in history of civilization. This includes for example Noah, who as I understand is the same protagonist referred as Ziusudra/Atrahasis/Utnaphistim in other culture's history (here I am assuming that a great flood which created a catastrophic impact did indeed happened, although not at global level). What was Noah's original name (because I believe that it is a Hebrew name, which at the time of the flood, had not been invented) and was he a king or a priest in Sumerian or Akkadian kingdom or city-state? Thank you.

It seems to be a curse even among believers to tune out the supernatural elements in scripture. When confronted with scripture that reveals the supernatural, many spend too much time looking for a natural explanation of events and little time trying to grasp how YHWH intervenes in the natural world. Dr. Heiser teaches us to examine difficult texts for a deeper understanding of YHWH and the nature of the supernatural realm. 🖖
I'd love to hear Dr. Heiser's thoughts about how some in the Greaeco -Roman world believed the Jews worshipped Saturn, in view of their observation of Sabbath/Saturday, and the primordial nature of Saturn/ Kronos.
Even to Day he has had all he needs from a disobedient people and now we are at his total feelings of displeasure and we are feeling the Wrath that Jesus said will follow... We have had a free will choice to seek his Grace(Son) and have failed miserably at our Choice and now we must pay for our Iniquity or (Transgressions) against his Mercy... So be Now ready for our time has come to an End...Each person will pay for his Sins if? He does Not Repent before He or she Dies...Amen...
Hello, So many comments you may not read this but I think there is a need for some clarification on Deuteronomy 32:8-9 You say Israel doesn’t even exist yet but in verse 9 it says Jacob. Who also does not exist yet, if the writer is Moses. Would love to know. Thank you.
Very interesting! In ancient times, the ancient Israelite authors knew idols are not gods themselves. But they do also know that the demons (foreign gods) are real spiritual gods. The same thing about the sun, the moon and the stars that are like symbols for other gods. And the reason why God is to worshipped alone is because the Israelites were not to worship anything or anyone created by God except him as the only all-powerful Creator.
Hey Dr. Heiser, interesting stuff but I do have a question. Psalm 82 is an interesting passage and your interpretation does seem interesting and was compelling at first glance. I suppose my main hang up with them being a literal divine council of "gods" is that Christ quotes directly from that in John 10:34 and both the context of how this comes into the conversation and what He states seems to suggest this passage was directed at men "to whom the word of God came". I have no qualms with seeing essentially fallen angels as spiritual rulers over the nations of the world as well as much of what you say. You can see that kind of stuff in Daniel as well. Also, I find much of your interpretation and theological work rather interesting, in depth and accurate. I suppose I just don't quite see the Psalm 82 council in that fashion based on what Christ stated regarding it. Maybe you can elaborate or direct me to a video you break it down more? Thanks and God bless.
I agree with you on the Psalm 82 understanding. To be honest, I disagree with Heiser on just about all of his interpretation of Scripture. His rejection of the notion that Lucifer led a rebellion against the government of God which resulted in himself along with one third of the angelic host being evicted from heaven has really caused so much confusion and error. In his worldview the "gods" have fallen so many times it makes my head spin. It makes God out to be a rather horrible Creator. He assigned all these gods (unfallen?) to rule over the nations and 100% of them are so easily swayed that they give in to temptation and allow power to corrupt them? Same goes for the Genesis 6 claims. They are so easily enticed by the allure of women that they can't resist not mating with them? Unfallen beings don't battle with lust. Unfallen beings don't witness the horrible results of sin and follow suit because they lack self control. Now, unfallen beings can be led to mistrust and mis believe their Creator but that is far different than having irresistable urges. Their was one, and only one, angelic rebellion. The angels who remained loyal after the rebellion, are still loyal to this very day. There's absolutely nothing that could sway them from loyalty to God after they've seen the results of rebellion against God's government. Just look at what became of the fallen angels (one of many words that has been ruined by Heiser). Look how low they've stooped. How stupid would they have to be to rebel after they've seen the devastating results of evil? God have them free will but He did not create stupid angels. The devil loves these teachings about all of these different rebellions. He laid the groundwork for it thousands of years ago.
@@reverendterminator Greek deities or quite a few were. Read 2nd Corinthians 4:4. Revelations Chapters 2&3. Look into who the angels of the seven churches are. I think you would find it interesting...
So who are these other gods? Are they fallen angels? Semijaza ? Fallen angels of the 200 from enoch in the days of jared? Then who was in the garden as a serpent? So many questions !!!!
You need to watch more of his videos. Sons of God were many. And there are also Angels, which are different heavenly beings. Jesus was a one of a kind, Son of God, because he is Yahweh.
I have a question (I am looking for a time line). The Bible says that ALL humanity lived together and did not spread through out the world until the Tower of Babel event. Scientists, archeologists have been digging up artifacts in Australia that they date to about 40,000 years ago, cave art in Spain or France that dated back to about 32,000 years ago etc. If those date are true, that would put the 'Tower" event back that far and Noah even further. Is there any way that though the Bible said that ALL humans lived in one place together that there were some humans that were explorers, adventures, mountain men etc. that ventured out into distant lands? If not, then the Tower of Babel event was about 40,000 years ago.
You are never going to get an answer of how biblical history (and the theology that comes of it) matches with real world history that contradicts biblical history. All he will say is that the writers didn't know about Australia or France or things like that. As if that answers the root of the questions.
Hi Michael, I really enjoy both your short videos and podcasts. As regards Ps. 82:6,7 I wondered, whether the Bible gives a hint to heavenly beings being judged to death and I found the following interesting verses and connections: Rom 10:7 “or ‘Who will descend into the ABYSS?’” (that is to bring Christ up from the dead). Revelation 20:3 and threw him into the PIT, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while. The Greek word for "abyss" in Romans 10:7 is the same as for "pit" in Revelation 20:3. So I wondered whether the 1000 year imprisonment could be a time of death for Satan and his angels? If that was true, then maybe their ouster from heaven as described in Revelation 12 could just mean their losing their spiritual bodies, becoming men in order to die as men. But this idea is rather speculative. I know the Revelation 12 passage is commonly interpreted differently. Best regards, Thomas
Yet Father kicked all their butts. The powerful ones that is. And yes we humans got a lick too. As i said to the other brother. At Babel their languages changed too. YahUah AlahaYnu echad.
Honest question; at the time that God allotted the nations to various elohim; were said elohim "good" or already fallen? IOW, did God assign fallen Sons of God to rule over the nations that had already rejected Him at Babel? If so, how do we know this?
Perhaps not all of them have rebelled? The faithful ones could still be on His council executing His judgements. In the age to come we are promised inherit nations as sons of God and replace or even join the faithful ones in this task, what that would look like is such a mystery as well.
@@DRMSH Thanks for replying Dr Heiser. Listening to that podcast now. I bought The Unseen Realm but am only beginning it so perhaps you cover it in that too and I just haven't got to it yet. So far I really like it though. I hope to be as satisfied about this verse as I have been with your exegesis so far. :)
@@DRMSH Just finished. Very good, thank you. So without getting into the details of Him being the only begotten Son of God, He was using Psalm 82 as precedent. And yes, it always felt a bit off when reading it as applying to humans because it did dilute His claim to divinity. The first way I addressed God after He indicated the Bible to me as His book was "Elohim of elohim" and I forget exactly where I read that but it acknowledged the rest of them. Anyway your work is invaluable, thank you again and God bless.

"I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you." (John 15:19) And so it has been since the days of Abel being hated and murdered of Cain in his jealousy.
Kinda? But God basically told Cain, 'dude. It's nothing personal. No need to be so pissed off, just do what I asked you to do and I'll accept you.'
Yes!
He really makes the Bible come alive and explains the context of verses very well
@Eightball Wizard it’s not about a literal tall tower dude. It was the fact that mankind tried to build something really cool so they could worship themselves, not God. And no, I don’t think it’s a sin to fund NASA
@Eightball Wizard trolls….
This man's in depth knowledge of God's word and ability to explain it is truly a blessing. I truly enjoy learning from Dr Michael Heiser
My perception has changed so much. Thanks for leading me out of tradition and into truth.
Ditto
Heiser was the last big step the Holy Spirit lead me to after rebuilding my faith from the ground up. With Heiser's guided insight the puzzle pieces started falling into place. The big picture, the complete story, backstories, previous "meaningless" passages or details suddenly have significance that "plain reading" of the Bible just doesn't reveal, especially the KJV.
@@Baltic_Hammer6162 yes!!!! His Ministry has had the same affect in me!!!! I find my self all excited, like a little kid on Christmas morning. Fueled by the energy of the adrenaline release as they get up in the wee hours, before the sun, to find a Lite blinking, colorful Christmas tree, with a mountain of wrapped presents cascading from underneath its canopy..... I am just busting at the seams, to tell, those closest to me, all that I am learning. I find myself thinking and praying all the time now. Dr. Heiser's work has resulted in me being closer to The Lord than I ever thought possible. I'm no longer fearful of The Lord, in that I trust him completely to accomplish for me all that I cannot. My fear diminished, my respect for Him, and my desire to please Him is growing through the roof. He is my #1 advocate, & comforter...
❤️🙏❤️🙏I've been richly Blessed❤️🙏❤️🙏
@@Baltic_Hammer6162 Similar story with me. Tho never completely gave up the basic reaching out to The Creator in Jesus name, I went thru the gamut of “spirituality” from a shined up version of Luciferianism all the way to atheism which ended with the struggle with my indigenous religions. God was faithful thru my journey and used Heiser to answer so many questions and show scripture as the cohesive whole that it is and finally put the spiritual hierarchy in an understandable perspective once seemingly only offered by the occult .. also Michael Brown - Jesus in the Old Testament, James White- veracity/transmission of scripture, along w Phil Fernandez, Walter Martin, & other apologists.
@@Baltic_Hammer6162 big facts, brother!
It’s amazing to finally discover real scripture that confirms all the beliefs I’ve had about other gods, angels and nations etc but thought I was just getting carried away with my imagination. It all started with the story of Daniels prayer being held up by the prince of Persia - from before I was 10 until now that has always fascinated and confused me.

It won’t be forever. “Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.” Isa 19:25
_And their dead bodies will lie on the street of _*_THE GREAT CITY_*_ which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified._ (Rev 11.8).
_The woman [Babylon per 17.5] whom you saw is _*_THE GREAT CITY_*_ which reigns over the kings of the earth._ (Rev 17.18)
_”And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all who have been slain on the earth/land.”_ (Rev 18.24)
_”Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her!”_ (Mat 23.37)
_for your [Babylon’s] merchants were the great men of the earth, for all the nations were deceived by your “PHARMAKEIA”_ (Rev 18.23)
Christ warned people to flee at the end of the age who lived where? NYC? Rome? No, "JUDEA," when they see the abomination/idol of desolation set up in the holy place/temple (Matthew 24:14-15) which hasn't happened yet. He also warned those about fleeing in winter or on the SABBATH (Mat 24.20) which shows it will be strictly enforced under the reign of the false messiah.
_"Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues."_ (Rev 18:4)
Is it a coincidence in Revelation the harlot comes riding on a red beast in the wilderness (the Temple Institute in Jerusalem is preparing a red heifer sacrifice to bring back the temple ministry which in the Torah is prescribed to be sacrificed in the wilderness) and dressed in the colors and jewels describing the high priestly garment from Exodus 28.4-11?
A Jerusalem Post 2017 article lets the cat out of the bag revealing that Israel will be the capital of the nwo, titled “Israel and the unexpected new world order”
And Revelation doesn't say Babylon (Jerusalem) is a port city, that's a red herring suddenly being spread widely in an online campaign. It just says the smoke of it can be seen from the sea and that it has merchants ships -- which is just like in the time of Solomon (king of Jerusalem) who ruled over a trade bloc in the region and had fleets of merchant ships and was at one point even earning 666 talents of gold. The Jerusalem Post article from 2017 (see above) talks about a plan to do this again and even cites the kingdom of Solomon in comparison.
All nations (‘waters’ are nations/peoples as explained in Rev 17.15) will gather to where she sits in false worship as they did at the tower of Babel, but first a traumatic global crisis must be engineered to ‘bring the world together.’ My vid on the AC kingdom goes deeper.
Beware Babylon’s armies of false teachers, trolls and bots flooding the web with misdirections and diversions to NYC, Rome, Edom, etc, (or the old fave: attack the messenger with accusations of anti-Shem/Shemites) none of which are where our Lord was crucified or where the prophets were slain.
More info from my notes:
_"And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were BUYING AND SELLING in the temple"_ (Mat 21.12)
In Revelation 13 we have the second beast/false prophet who comes imitating the signs of Elijah to do 3 important things the rabbis expect Elijah to do:
1) Renew the Sinai covenant marriage which in the Torah came with sealing the congregation with the mark of the Name of God in the forehead and hand in dedication of thoughts and works through the Aaronic Benediction as symbolized by the tefillin (Mark of the beast);
2) restore the sacrifices which only those in the covenant could participate in with the money-changers and merchants Yeshua threw out (buying and selling);
3) regather and number the tribes in a census as in the books of Numbers and Ezra by heads of family names (number of names/number of men).
These are expected by the rabbis for Elijah to perform before the arrival of their (false) messiah who will enforce the Sinai covenant marriage in defiance of the new covenant marriage announced by Jeremiah who said it would not be like the one at Sinai (Jeremiah 31). Hence, the law is for the lawless (1Tim 1.9) and we know the false messiah is also called the lawless one (2Thes 2.8). My latest vid on the AC kingdom has deeper info.

Once I read & re-read the book of Dueteronomy and listened to Dr. Heiser explained, and then I understood.

Thank you Dr. Heiser
WOW! Mind blowing. Never ever heard or read this explanation. Makes complete sense though.
Amazing Dr. Heiser I have learned so ,UCB and will continue to learn so much from you. Love what you do
Excellent, rich! Thank you!
I hadn't realized that there was a whole new group of Elohim as overseers of the nations during the incursion of Babel. I was always confused because the Elohim from Genesis 6 had be chained in the pit, so how were they now at Babel? I find it amazing that this new group would rebel again having the example of what happened to the watchers during this initial rebellion. Thank you so much for clearing that up for me brother Mike; boy, I am feeling some what dumb right now for missing that. GOD bless you and yours in the name of ✝Jesus Christ/Yeshua Ha Mashiach✝!
Doc, I am wondering if the nations are still under the lordship of assigned Elohim who rebelled ? Does America have such a step-god as Michael called them?
So has God allowed those original assigned Elohim to continue to rule all these years?
@@lw216316 I cannot definitively answer that question, but I would have to say that they would be under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Also, GOD told the Elohim that they would die like men; however, I am unaware of a life expectancy for them as was declare for men (120 years) by GOD. Additionally, I am, by NO means, a biblical scholar of any sort and this question would require a scholar to provide an authoritative answer.
@@lw216316 no. Jesus took back all dominion & authority. Took back God's Kingdom & reconciled the nations, reinherited us. Satan was cast down & bound, restricted in his influence. Jesus descended into Sheol, took possession of the keys of hades & overcame death. Set the captives in Abraham's Bosom free & now when we die we go straight to be with the Lord, rather that to Sheol. The angels will be judged. The Last enemy is death. After Satan is loosed for a "little season", he, death & all it's inhabitants (those who have rejected God's plan of redemption/restoration) will be cast into the lake of fire. The angels that sinned in gen 6 were to be bound for 70 generations (according to 1 Enoch) & then judged.
@@lw216316 I have sure wondered the same thing!!!!
Elohim are actually the children of El, El and his sisters/wives(Ashtart, Asherah and Dione) had 70 sons and an unknown number of daughters. So even if some Elohim are lost there will still be plenty to go around
I like Dr. Heiser's work a lot. I came to the same conclusions a few years ago myself, but did not undergo the massive amount of study necessary to finely elaborate and systematize the evidence that he has. It is somewhat amazing to me that all of this was just sitting there under our noses for so long, and we didn't see it. I guess when you are mired in the trappings of culture what should be plain and obvious becomes invisible.
BLESSINGS WITH EVERY TEACHING
DR HEISER..THANK YOU!!

God's longsuffering for the nations... the nations are "angry" in Revelation 11:18 and after Christ reigns they still intend to join together (as in Babel) to battle against God in Revelation 20:8.
_And their dead bodies will lie on the street of _*_THE GREAT CITY_*_ which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified._ (Rev 11.8).
_The woman [Babylon per 17.5] whom you saw is _*_THE GREAT CITY_*_ which reigns over the kings of the earth._ (Rev 17.18)
_”And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all who have been slain on the earth/land.”_ (Rev 18.24)
_”Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her!”_ (Mat 23.37)
_for your [Babylon’s] merchants were the great men of the earth, for all the nations were deceived by your “PHARMAKEIA”_ (Rev 18.23)
Christ warned people to flee at the end of the age who lived where? NYC? Rome? No, "JUDEA," when they see the abomination/idol of desolation set up in the holy place/temple (Matthew 24:14-15) which hasn't happened yet. He also warned those about fleeing in winter or on the SABBATH (Mat 24.20) which shows it will be strictly enforced under the reign of the false messiah.
_"Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues."_ (Rev 18:4)
Is it a coincidence in Revelation the harlot comes riding on a red beast in the wilderness (the Temple Institute in Jerusalem is preparing a red heifer sacrifice to bring back the temple ministry which in the Torah is prescribed to be sacrificed in the wilderness) and dressed in the colors and jewels describing the high priestly garment from Exodus 28.4-11?
A Jerusalem Post 2017 article lets the cat out of the bag revealing that Israel will be the capital of the nwo, titled “Israel and the unexpected new world order”
And Revelation doesn't say Babylon (Jerusalem) is a port city, that's a red herring suddenly being spread widely in an online campaign. It just says the smoke of it can be seen from the sea and that it has merchants ships -- which is just like in the time of Solomon (king of Jerusalem) who ruled over a trade bloc in the region and had fleets of merchant ships and was at one point even earning 666 talents of gold. The Jerusalem Post article from 2017 (see above) talks about a plan to do this again and even cites the kingdom of Solomon in comparison.
All nations (‘waters’ are nations/peoples as explained in Rev 17.15) will gather to where she sits in false worship as they did at the tower of Babel, but first a traumatic global crisis must be engineered to ‘bring the world together.’ My vid on the AC kingdom goes deeper.
Beware Babylon’s armies of false teachers, trolls and bots flooding the web with misdirections and diversions to NYC, Rome, Edom, etc, (or the old fave: attack the messenger with accusations of anti-Shem/Shemites) none of which are where our Lord was crucified or where the prophets were slain.
More info from my notes:
_"And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were BUYING AND SELLING in the temple"_ (Mat 21.12)
In Revelation 13 we have the second beast/false prophet who comes imitating the signs of Elijah to do 3 important things the rabbis expect Elijah to do:
1) Renew the Sinai covenant marriage which in the Torah came with sealing the congregation with the mark of the Name of God in the forehead and hand in dedication of thoughts and works through the Aaronic Benediction as symbolized by the tefillin (Mark of the beast);
2) restore the sacrifices which only those in the covenant could participate in with the money-changers and merchants Yeshua threw out (buying and selling);
3) regather and number the tribes in a census as in the books of Numbers and Ezra by heads of family names (number of names/number of men).
These are expected by the rabbis for Elijah to perform before the arrival of their (false) messiah who will enforce the Sinai covenant marriage in defiance of the new covenant marriage announced by Jeremiah who said it would not be like the one at Sinai (Jeremiah 31). Hence, the law is for the lawless (1Tim 1.9) and we know the false messiah is also called the lawless one (2Thes 2.8). My latest vid on the AC kingdom has deeper info.

_In the Bible the only usage of the phrases “in the hand” and “in the foreheads” are all in the Law of Moses and refer to keeping the commandments, statutes, judgments and holy seasons or days given to Israelites in the time of Moses. The first reference is Exodus 13:9 where it states the Days of Unleavened Bread associated with the Passover were given “for a sign unto you upon your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes [in the forehead].”_
_The word “sign” in the above verse is translated “mark” in its second occurrence in the Bible and it refers to the “mark” given to Cain (Genesis 4:15). The biblical definition of the “mark” (or “sign”) in the hand and forehead is associated with holy days on the Mosaic calendar. The next usage refers to the commandments, statutes and judgments that the Israelites were to perform when they entered the land of Canaan._
_“You shall bind them for a sign [or mark] upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes [in the forehead].” Deuteronomy 6:8_
_The third reference is similar to this and is given in Deuteronomy 11:18. The weekly Sabbath is described as such a “sign” (or MARK) in Exodus 31:12-17._

Wow! Awesome stuff here
Step-gods. I love your sense of humor!
Powerfully true and simply explained
Thank you for your work
What I have never understood is that, if you were with Moses and saw the miracles Yahweh did, how could you possibly build an idol and worship it?
The changes made via different languages may be a cause. Yet Father YahUah said his name and title do not change. Yet in translating? If the phonetic tones don't match? People may want it to mean the same. Yet to Father????....
Because some people were polytheistic during that time. Heiser would say they believed in many gods but knew Yahweh was still the God of the most high. The other gods of the ANE were a way to get things. If the crops were bad, they would worship the god of agriculture.
@@WhatYourPastorDidntTellYou - Monolatry is the term
I've usually assumed Yahweh wasn't active enough in daily life for their satisfaction so they still turned to their favorite deities for things even though it was forbidden. Asking them to worship only him was asking a lot more than we realize today I think. Love your username and image, btw.
The answer is actually given in the Ten Commandments and paralleled later in Israelite history with Jeroboam I. They didn't necessarily worship another god. Not according to them at least. They actually fashioned the golden calf as a physical representation of Yahweh. They took the calf and called it Yahweh. I think that, among other things, it was another attempt at manipulating God like Babel, IMHO.
Thanks for helping me think well. Just defining who I am in Gods sight.. Who the God of the Bible.. It has changed my life..
Great, Mike is just Awsome.
I like how you put things in context, Mike. Very good.

Dr. Heiser please answer
I am wondering if the nations are still under the lordship of assigned Elohim who rebelled ? Does America have such a step-god as you called them?
So has God allowed those original assigned Elohim to continue to rule all these years?
No, Jesus is now Lord of the entire world, reigning as King from heaven over all the nations. That happened at his Resurrection (Matthew 28:18). Those other elohim are just renegades, rebels, awaiting destruction at the end times.
I think they had to loosen their grip, but that they still rule if people give them power. so they are still working with peoples free will. like Rogue rulers. they will not be destroyed, before the end of time, even tough they have been already beaten.
I LOVE IT, Mr. Heiser, I LOVE THIS TALK! I love how you explain the scriptures
in layman's term. To the believers that 'understand' what you are
teaching. I understand. YAHUAH'S and Yeshua's walk/teaching is like a
giant puzzle for His followers to piece together and get the whole
picture of salvation and eventual eternal life. "If you seek, you will
find". I LOVE IT! But sadly today, millions perhaps billions reject GOD,
reject Yeshua's existence. The great apostasy! It will be TOO LATE for
them. But...Praise YAH!
Great teaching
Who were “ the other gods? Did they have names? Could they be the Titans and gods of the Ancient Greek and Romans?

Do you plan on being interviewed by Jordan Peterson or Bishop Robert Barron anytime soon?
I've truly felt for a good 3-4 years that Peterson is searching and longing for spiritual answers, spiritual explanations. He would benefit so much if he had Heiser guiding him through the Bible. Peterson seems to be trying his best make sense of the big picture of God and the Bible, but he struggles. Because of that he makes a lot of biblical errors and needs help. Intellectually and spiritually he would be a great student of Heiser and become even more effective in fighting back against the dark forces threatening him and our whole society.

What's the deal with 'high places' like the top of Babel, Hermon, etc.?
I read that these were places where the watchers were worshipped as false deities. That somehow being higher in the air lead a person closer to heaven. Of course it was heresy of high order and the watchers knew this. Sort of an inside jibe at Yahweh, because he of course knows that higher elevations do not mean you are closer to his kingdom.
@@jasonleveck8546
Also, looking at Isaiah 14, we read of The Opponent’s desire to rise high - higher and higher - five times higher until the final ambition is to ‘be like God’... but which name for God is chosen? The Most High!!The Satan is obsessed by heights.
It was the ancient worldview, with “heaven” meaning ABOVE (sky) as the abode of gods (and today we know that stars are not “up in the sky” but light years away). Importantly, the pagan conception of gods is not that they are omnipresent, but rather localized, whether in the sky or upon the earth. Modern Japan still follows the belief in Shinto, in which there are thousands of gods, living in sacred places on earth. When Japanese visit a Shinto shrine they clap their hands to “wake up” the god(s) and announce their arrival (so their gods are not omniscient either).
Hermon is the counterfeit mountain of congregation where a corrupted number of SONS OF GOD first arrived and the Tower of Babel is a portal that could possibly set free the imprisoned SONS OF GOD
This version of God expectations are so high that humanity and the sons of God rebel over and over. Of course something is wrong with everybody else except this version of God. OIY!
Do we ever get a reason why the other nations elected council members all end up turning away?
Amazing Explanation
1 Had the 70 "Sons of God" put over the nations - rebelled before they was put over the Nations? or did they rebell after a while? 2 and was they still in the Divine Council - when they was put over the nations?
I'm troubled. I respect this man n his knowledge, but, it's hard to process this
What’s hard to process, though?
This might sound like a bit of a reach...
but I wonder if the Tower of Babel
was one of the very first (if not the original)
"phallic structures / symbols" that might have been
very similar to the phallic-shaped obelisks
that we see in St. Peter's Square
and the Washington Monument
in Washington DC.
Said another way...
the building of the Tower of Babel
was tantamount to extending a phallus
(or a middle finger) directly in
The Face of Almighty God.
No wonder The Lord was angry with them.
it is probably atleast one of the meaning behind it
Thank you!
When Mike says God divorced the Nations. It reminded me of the Golden calf. The whole nation of Israel was to be a kingdom of priests. But they wanted a golden calf. So the Levites got the position instead. Just like Abraham got the inheritance instead of the Nations.
Like Esau and Jacob.
Amen! Agreed.
These 8 minute video snippets simply doesn’t cut it. Anyone has any link to the full study?
Dr. Heiser, does the scriptures say who or what was the elohim's names were that ruled over the people?
This explains alot about babbel not clear in the bible, thank you
Dr. Heiser, which Ziggurat and which Mesopotamian kingship period were you referring to when you were talking about Tower of Babel here? Considering that the king and his people at the time worshipped other gods, how did God communicate with the Sumerians/Akkadians/any other people's group that he had had enough with them? As a Christian who is interested in the history of civilization, I am still puzzled about how to reconcile events and 'protagonists' in Genesis 1-11 and events and kingship in history of civilization. This includes for example Noah, who as I understand is the same protagonist referred as Ziusudra/Atrahasis/Utnaphistim in other culture's history (here I am assuming that a great flood which created a catastrophic impact did indeed happened, although not at global level). What was Noah's original name (because I believe that it is a Hebrew name, which at the time of the flood, had not been invented) and was he a king or a priest in Sumerian or Akkadian kingdom or city-state? Thank you.

It seems to be a curse even among believers to tune out the supernatural elements in scripture. When confronted with scripture that reveals the supernatural, many spend too much time looking for a natural explanation of events and little time trying to grasp how YHWH intervenes in the natural world.
Dr. Heiser teaches us to examine difficult texts for a deeper understanding of YHWH and the nature of the supernatural realm. 🖖
You are so correct. At the same time they accept a virgin birth which is supernatural.
I'd love to hear Dr. Heiser's thoughts about how some in the Greaeco -Roman world believed the Jews worshipped Saturn, in view of their observation of Sabbath/Saturday, and the primordial nature of Saturn/ Kronos.
Isaiah 45:5 says I am God and there is none else, so I don’t see how there are “other gods”
Even to Day he has had all he needs from a disobedient people and now we are at his total feelings of displeasure and we are feeling the Wrath that Jesus said will follow...
We have had a free will choice to seek his Grace(Son) and have failed miserably at our
Choice and now we must pay for our Iniquity or (Transgressions) against his Mercy... So be Now ready for our time has come to an End...Each person will pay for his Sins if? He does Not Repent before He or she Dies...Amen...
Hello, So many comments you may not read this but I think there is a need for some clarification on Deuteronomy 32:8-9 You say Israel doesn’t even exist yet but in verse 9 it says Jacob. Who also does not exist yet, if the writer is Moses. Would love to know. Thank you.
Very interesting! In ancient times, the ancient Israelite authors knew idols are not gods themselves. But they do also know that the demons (foreign gods) are real spiritual gods. The same thing about the sun, the moon and the stars that are like symbols for other gods. And the reason why God is to worshipped alone is because the Israelites were not to worship anything or anyone created by God except him as the only all-powerful Creator.
Is there a longer version of this video?
Yes search supernatural Michael Heiser
Very Interesting!! Is this subject covered in any of his books ??

Hey Dr. Heiser, interesting stuff but I do have a question.
Psalm 82 is an interesting passage and your interpretation does seem interesting and was compelling at first glance. I suppose my main hang up with them being a literal divine council of "gods" is that Christ quotes directly from that in John 10:34 and both the context of how this comes into the conversation and what He states seems to suggest this passage was directed at men "to whom the word of God came".
I have no qualms with seeing essentially fallen angels as spiritual rulers over the nations of the world as well as much of what you say. You can see that kind of stuff in Daniel as well. Also, I find much of your interpretation and theological work rather interesting, in depth and accurate.
I suppose I just don't quite see the Psalm 82 council in that fashion based on what Christ stated regarding it. Maybe you can elaborate or direct me to a video you break it down more?
Thanks and God bless.
I agree with you on the Psalm 82 understanding. To be honest, I disagree with Heiser on just about all of his interpretation of Scripture.
His rejection of the notion that Lucifer led a rebellion against the government of God which resulted in himself along with one third of the angelic host being evicted from heaven has really caused so much confusion and error.
In his worldview the "gods" have fallen so many times it makes my head spin. It makes God out to be a rather horrible Creator. He assigned all these gods (unfallen?) to rule over the nations and 100% of them are so easily swayed that they give in to temptation and allow power to corrupt them? Same goes for the Genesis 6 claims. They are so easily enticed by the allure of women that they can't resist not mating with them? Unfallen beings don't battle with lust. Unfallen beings don't witness the horrible results of sin and follow suit because they lack self control.
Now, unfallen beings can be led to mistrust and mis believe their Creator but that is far different than having irresistable urges. Their was one, and only one, angelic rebellion. The angels who remained loyal after the rebellion, are still loyal to this very day. There's absolutely nothing that could sway them from loyalty to God after they've seen the results of rebellion against God's government. Just look at what became of the fallen angels (one of many words that has been ruined by Heiser). Look how low they've stooped. How stupid would they have to be to rebel after they've seen the devastating results of evil? God have them free will but He did not create stupid angels. The devil loves these teachings about all of these different rebellions. He laid the groundwork for it thousands of years ago.

Sons of God were many. And there are also Angels, which are different heavenly beings.
Jesus was a one of a kind, Son of God, because he is Yahweh.
I have a question (I am looking for a time line). The Bible says that ALL humanity lived together and did not spread through out the world until the Tower of Babel event. Scientists, archeologists have been digging up artifacts in Australia that they date to about 40,000 years ago, cave art in Spain or France that dated back to about 32,000 years ago etc. If those date are true, that would put the 'Tower" event back that far and Noah even further. Is there any way that though the Bible said that ALL humans lived in one place together that there were some humans that were explorers, adventures, mountain men etc. that ventured out into distant lands? If not, then the Tower of Babel event was about 40,000 years ago.
You are never going to get an answer of how biblical history (and the theology that comes of it) matches with real world history that contradicts biblical history. All he will say is that the writers didn't know about Australia or France or things like that. As if that answers the root of the questions.
So, did Joseph Smith have an encounter with one of these lesser gods?
I'd imagine. Pual said dont listen to another gospel than what him and apostles gave
Weather from him or a angel

Was the Tower an invitation for the fallen angels to return?
This is the biblical foundation...any doctrine that is contrary to this is on shaky ground and requires compromise
Hi Michael,
I really enjoy both your short videos and podcasts.
As regards Ps. 82:6,7 I wondered, whether the Bible gives a hint to heavenly beings being judged to death and I found the following interesting verses and connections:
Rom 10:7 “or ‘Who will descend into the ABYSS?’” (that is to bring Christ up from the dead).
Revelation 20:3 and threw him into the PIT, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.
The Greek word for "abyss" in Romans 10:7 is the same as for "pit" in Revelation 20:3.
So I wondered whether the 1000 year imprisonment could be a time of death for Satan and his angels?
If that was true, then maybe their ouster from heaven as described in Revelation 12 could just mean their losing their spiritual bodies, becoming men in order to die as men. But this idea is rather speculative. I know the Revelation 12 passage is commonly interpreted differently.
Best regards,
Thomas

Honest question; at the time that God allotted the nations to various elohim; were said elohim "good" or already fallen? IOW, did God assign fallen Sons of God to rule over the nations that had already rejected Him at Babel? If so, how do we know this?
I have heard Dr. Heiser say at the time of the alottment the elohim were good and had not yet rebelled.
Perhaps not all of them have rebelled? The faithful ones could still be on His council executing His judgements. In the age to come we are promised inherit nations as sons of God and replace or even join the faithful ones in this task, what that would look like is such a mystery as well.
It’s a lie. Those scriptures are referring to kings and rulers, not spirits.
@@SavedByGRACE360 It's not a lie. The word "elohim" is never used to refer to kings or rulers, only beings in the spiritual world.

@@DRMSH Just finished. Very good, thank you. So without getting into the details of Him being the only begotten Son of God, He was using Psalm 82 as precedent. And yes, it always felt a bit off when reading it as applying to humans because it did dilute His claim to divinity. The first way I addressed God after He indicated the Bible to me as His book was "Elohim of elohim" and I forget exactly where I read that but it acknowledged the rest of them. Anyway your work is invaluable, thank you again and God bless.
