[@lapetitemoma]

I have to confess, I've always thought God had other gods around him. One reason is I took the words at face value and didn't need to ask. I'm not a scholar and I don't know Hebrew or Greek. Sometimes people can have a simple mind and still know stuff. I've always trusted in the Lord, and I can see where all the scholars can educate themselves to death that they can't see the message. I skipped out of 11th grade English cause she was teaching about mythology. I'm kinda glad I did. My son is like everyone else and refuses to acknowledge Dr. Micheal, so it has become a wedge we can't talk about. Pray for him that he opens his heart to the truth. Thank you Dr. Heiser for the delightful lecture, and confirming to me what I already suspected.

This is a fascinating and very accurate understanding and explanation of the plan of redemption of God sending the Christ to the earth to secure the victory for mankind. The mystery of godliness is an additional aspect that Michael may not really have picked up on, the prophetic aspect of Christ and the Bride. We will not only replace the fallen sons of god in governing the nations, but we will also transition into the position as the Bride, while the obedient nation of Israel will then take our place in the high council. Then as the Bride in the ages of God, we will continue to partner with Christ in expanding the creation of God through out all eternity. That is a beautiful story.

I agree 1000% with the fact that it should be read in a fictional fashion. But that's difficult to do be written in an ancient style.

[@jamesfisherman7669]

I’m new watching and learning about the teachings of Dr. Heisler and he is right - the bible commentators leave out the super natural aspect of the OT (Gen.6 in particular), but with the 2nd temple literature spec the Dead Sea scrolls and the original language (Hebrew) reading of the OT text starting with Psalms 82, Psalms 89 , Det.32:8-9 - the divine assembly or council became evident and all the dots connect where -Daniel, Paul, Peter and Jude,s theology can be traced through the Bible!😅and we thank God for his life🙏😇 And what makes Dr. Heisler different from all the others and believable is his background as a Bible scholar where he specialized and devoted his life in OT and Hebrew and his overall grasp of the Bible. To me, he saw the connections and he made a lot of sense😍

[@user-pt2ub1rz8q]

The book of Mormon is false and heretical. It’s a cult.

[@devonm6187]

Yea, it does. It speaks on the council. Its confusing bc in that theology, it seems there are many gods each ruling their own universe or galaxy. Some times I'm not sure what to believe

[@GDG-gorthodoxy]

While holding many orthodox doctrines, Heiser also promoted polytheism and false teaching. There is only ONE God. I’m sure when he got to heaven his first question was “So, where are all the other gods? Where’s the divine council?” And God will tell him that He is God alone and does not know of any other gods, as He clearly says in Isaiah. Hope discerning Christians understand Heiser’s fringe false teaching and Mormon cult errors are not true Biblical teachings.

[@LydiaMartindale]

With all due respect I’m not sure you listened AT ALL? I refer you to 34:37 onward in his talk. He is exceedingly clear there is only ONE Yahweh. He explained in great detail how the term Elohim is an ancient generic term for disembodied spiritual beings and all beings are created by Yahweh. And how the term Elohim has been translated into modern language as ‘gods’ - hence the confusion. I hope this helps? Unless maybe you are objecting to the idea that there are disembodied spiritual beings in existence at all? Although that position would be hard to defend if you read just about any page of the Bible… It might be worth just having an actual listen to what he is saying and checking it off against what the Bible itself says. I’m sure there are lots of arguments to be had with what is in the Bible but I don’t think you are arguing what you think you are. Blessings to you

[@LydiaMartindale]

Furthermore he was not a Mormon at all so that is a strange thing to say. (He wrote an article for a Mormon magazine once to explain how their interpretation is wrong). Be careful when casting judgements when you have not even bothered to seek out the truth first.

[@GDG-gorthodoxy]

@@LydiaMartindale with due respect and in the spirit of grace, I am replying but not trying to start or perpetuate an argument. I am posting publicly to warn others of Heiser’s false teachings. I am aware Michael Heiser never claimed to be a Mormon, but I did listen to him share a story of telling a Mormon his (Heiser) version of the gospel and that he (the Mormon) is “in” and going to heaven without any correction of the Mormon’s christology or soteriology. Maybe Heiser was confused or ignorant that Mormons have a different Jesus? Hard to believe that since Heiser was a scholar. The reason many in the LDS religion befriended Heiser is his pantheism. And yes, I am also aware Heiser claimed there is only one Yahweh, but that’s almost, in the Heiser context, as meaningful as an assertion there is only one Zeus. So I would encourage you not to ascribe to Heiser a belief system of mainstream Christianity that isn’t what Heiser actually taught. I have read the unseen realm and countless videos and podcasts of Heiser, and while some of his doctrine is orthodox, many are of his ideas fanciful and others are simply heretical. They are inconsistent with the whole of Scripture and Heiser has read into the biblical text a hermeneutic approach informed more from extra-biblical texts (the book of Enoch) and pagan literature than from the Bible itself. And BTW Jesus was not a disembodied spirit after His resurrection. Sadly Heiser’s teachings have deceived many. May God (the one and only) lead us all back to the truth of Holy Scripture.

Her priestess Aristarche seems to have come from Ephesus and colonised Marseille France. This I know about France. However, I don't know about other nations. Does anyone know the gods of the nations today?

[@LydiaMartindale]

Very interesting - a question that I have wondered too. What would you say is the manifestation of Artemis in France?

[@davidruffels1896]

@@LydiaMartindale In France (Marseille is where I live) there appears to have been a virgin mother deity represented with statues, pictures and any sort of honour for the past 2600 years. She was Artemis for the Greeks, Dianna for the Romans, Mary for Christianised Romans, then Marianna since the French Revolution. Her image is on everything to do with the government and is considered to be the personification of French values. So her significance runs deep into the French psyche.

[@ryanstivers8797]

I will say though to Dr. Heiser’s credit, I wouldn’t understand the gospel like I do now without this biblical worldview. I really feel like without understanding it you have a partial understanding of the gospel. Jesus said the gospel or good news was that His reign has come and to turn/repent and believe , wouldn’t you deduce that someone or something else has been reigning on the earth? the principalities and powers, the other gods have been reigning on the Earth in all nations, and He’s come to reclaim, reconcile and restore His relationship with humanity, and put and end to the reign of darkness. How do you fully understand that without this world view?

Searching the context means to me searching out every passage in LXX that uses the same keywords as a gospel passage. Jesus is foundational. Although he spoke more than could be written, he deliberately left us with four classes of leassons. Carefully compared side-by-side, Mark was written by a first year student. "Young man" is part of the "mark" word cluster. He may be the young man in the garden. The student in Mark has begun his walk with preparation of the heart. He has a very small light. His faith held out until the ship in the storm got 1/3 across the sea. Mark is being established in salvation by faith. Matthew will reveal the will of the father and righteousness. Luke is about the holiness portion of faith. Only when you have faith for all three of these trimesters are you ready to understand what it means to "become a son of God."

[@lukasmakarios4998]

In Psalm 2, v.7, God declares to King David, "Today, I have begotten you." So, saying of Jesus that He is the "only begotten" son doesn't make sense. We need to rethink this. Describing Him as "unique," however, definitely fits.

[@MythWizdom]

The number of Elohim is not "many", the Elohim are the the "bear" and her cubs (Job 38:32), these Elohim (cubs) are seven in number (seven eyes around the throne, seven candles in the menorah)

What I don't get is why God wants anyone to go to war or have "kings" ruling over anyone , if anyone can shed some light on this I'd be grateful to hear your opinions ?

[@miltos9560]

We’ll answers I have acquired. Is Old Testament conversion relied on the belief of other gods and rulers. I’ll summarise, but basically the nations were split and all worshipped other Gods as from Babel. And as we know, the Jews will bring God and redemption to all the nations. So. In order for people to be converted in Old Testament. It was very “who ever’s God is strongest must be real, or in charge.” So Israel would be attacked and go to war, and if they remained faithful to God they would gain victory over their enemies which proved to enemy nations God was the one true all powerful God. This is why during Israel’s exile, the Babylonian’s tried to convert Israel to THEIR God. I wish it was as simple as everyone just follows God but it’s not. In order to undo Gods punishment on the nations, war and fighting was necessary to once again prove Gods power. Thus the nations being ruled by other Gods was necessary.

[@MrRudymancha]

The other gods stalling doesn't sound probable to me. God the true Elohim him has control over everything. Micheal in all his great study and understanding misses the sovereignty of God the Elohim of all Elohims. To quote him in 18:50 to 19:15 of the video says that when God brings in the people he wants to bring in then the end will come. This sounds like Calvinistic theology.

[@wesstone7571]

You don't need to worry about the powers of darkness. IF you have accepted Christ, repented, and been baptized... Because if you understand scripture and know who you are, know that Christ has given you the authority to cast off evil, to heal, and to manifest in his Holy name. You have to accept this in your heart and know it in your mind. This does not mean that you won't be attacked, tempted, etc.. Christ told us that the world will hate us and persecute us as he was. Demons dwelling in non-believers will attack you. Demons not in flesh bodies will attack you, tempt you, just as in the days of Noah. Do not fear them... stand up in your authority and rebuke them. Know...KNOW that power is yours, given to you by your king and savior. No way there's a battle to the end of this earth and we suddenly aren't Parr of it, when it is over us in the first place.

Sam 82 is referencing to anyone that believes in Jesus Christ, including humans and other heavenly hosts. Revelation 22:9 KJV - Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. John 3:6 KJV - That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Hebrews 12:22-24 KJV - But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

Ephesians 1:10- ”as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.“ ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭10‬ ‭ Gods whole plan revolved around Jesus. The big picture of the Bible is definitely centered around Jesus. I disagree with Heiser when he said the whole Bible isn’t about Jesus. Obviously every single verse that you ever read is not directly or indirectly related to Jesus of Nazareth but the big picture and “context” of Gods eternal is Jesus Christ. It’s undeniable according to Scripture. The eternal purpose of God is rooted in Jesus Christ: ”so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,“ ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭

[@vonbass1300]

He says , "The bibles not all about Jesus", and gives two examples, "Menstrual laws" and "rutual impurities." He is supposed to be a Bible scholar and chooses his 2 examples that clearly point to Jesus. Both about being unclean, and the temporary way to be considered clean. And the curse that the whole world is under that points to the savior, the redeemer to come first mentioned as the seed of the woman that will crush the seed of the evil one, which is Jesus. From Abraham and Isaac, who was going to be the sacrifice, cared the wood he was to be killed on, and God himself provided the Sacrifice. To Joseph who his own people, his own brothers, "kill" when they sell him to Gentiles, who goes to the Gentiles, saves them, and then forgives his brothers and Even though they dont realise who he is, ends up their savior too. The suffering servant of Isaiah, to God himself leading his people as the son of David who sits on the thrown forever. How do you not see Jesus in the book Jesus said was about him? It contains information about other things, but its clearly about Jesus, the Israelite that would come after Moses that we should listen too. He is the second Adam, the Savior, the actual person all those shadows were pointing too. God stepped into history, to save us. There are no other Gods.

In John 10, Christ quotes just a portion of Psalm 82 and, I believe, DEFINES the 'gods' of Psalm 82 by stipulating: 1. The "word of God came" to them (John 10:35). 2. They are "sent into the world" (John 10:36). 3. They are "sanctified" by the Father (John 10:36). 4. They do the works of the Father (John 10:37). 5. They are the "children of the Most High" (Psalms 82:7). I'm going to posit that the interpretation can be seen to apply to believers since all 5 defining attributes describe believers. To assert, as Heiser, that these are attributes of only the heavenly host of angels, one would seem to be required to have scripture indicating that these angels were specifically given the "tasks" given in Psalm 82. I do not believe such scripture can be found in our canon. If there is a singular indication that this is not a "divine council" but a judgment of mere mortals, the specific charges of Psalm 82 against these 'elohim' is that there was a failure to see to justice done for the poor, the fatherless, the needy and the afflicted. In this, the message of the prophet Asaph was no different than the psalmist of Psalm 10, or Isaiah ("Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow"), or Jeremiah ("Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place"), or Ezekiel ("Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood. In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow."), or Zechariah (And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.) or Malachi ("And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness... against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts").

Evil and arrogant. 7:40 "...I've got news for you. Again, pro tip here from the Bible scholar: the Bible is not all about Jesus." The Bible is his autobiography. All things were made by Him and for Him.

​@@GoemonLovesFujikonot only is it wrong, it is evil. See John 5. And a denial that it is evil is not a refutation. "Uh unn" is not an argument.

No man ever makes too much of Jesus. But Michael makes too little of him in the quote of his I provided.

This is pretty obvious if you know anything about Jewish history. Before King Josiah reforms , ancient Jews were Henotheoistic, meaning there was one Most High God, and many lesser gods called The Elohim. It was King Josiah who made Judaism a Monotheistic religion by editing the Torah and replacing the Elohim with the word "Yahweh". Which is why in the old Testament Yahweh is mentioned 6800 times and because of this, Yahweh is made to seem responsible for some of the worst atrocities and genocides in the old Testament. This naturally doesn't sound like a loving and merciful God does it? That's because it wasn't Yahweh commiting these atrocities. It was a lesser Elohim. By changing the Torah, Josiah basically gave Yahweh a bad reputation. El, Asherah, Baal, Shaddai, Elyon, these are just a few of the Elohim of the ancient Israelites. They were all represented in the 1st temple, until Josiah.

[@JonBernson_522]

Thank you for this comment. That makes so much sense now. I could never understand this in the old testament.

[@carlandre8610]

Psalm 8: 4,5 God is mindful of man Because he has created man in his image, the pinacle of creation made a little lower than God. We will judge and replace Angels and we will be in the Kingdom now and to come. We are not going to Heaven God is coming.to dwell with humans. Humans who have not.rebelled or more correctly have but who have repented. It does not say anywhere in the Bible that God loves the Angels, i am sure that he does but God expresses Love to Humans. Angels would like to understand this mystery. GOD takes humans a mortal and limited creature and makes the. Sos of God adopted into the family Jesus is our Lord , saviour, king and brother. Glory to God our Father. Tne true God. Thank God for the Jews and their Messiah, who has also become the Saviour.

[@carlandre8610]

Maybe Angels is correct, I do not have a Hebrew translation, i think capital El would refer to God and elohim the gods. These bengs do not create create and are created beings. I do not know but i do know that God loves mankind very much. BECAUSE the worth of something is detrmined by the owner who died for us. And rose from the dead. The price is enormous and more than we will fully grsp and certainly a mysery to the Angels 15:57

I love Dr. Heiser’s teachings in The Unseen Realm and Reversing Hermon, but he makes a mistake when he includes 1 Samuel 28:13 as an instance of Elohim meaning disembodied dead humans. If true, it is the only instance of Elohim used to refer to humans. But the thing summoned by the witch of Endor was not the dead, disembodied Samuel, but a demon or divine being God allowed to deceive the king. There is no place in scripture where humans are referred to as Elohim. They are always divine (heavenly) beings or spirits.

[@porschedk]

With all due respect, sir, you are wrong. Jesus is unique because he is the human Son of God. The other sons of God were created. Jesus was born to God from a human, that's his uniqueness. That's why his favorite name is "the Son of MAN". He was born from a human, but his father is God. God's literal "word" became flesh, not Jesus. God said, and Mary became pregnant. Father is THE MOST HIGH GOD. Jesus has a God over him.
