The Tower Of Babel Began The Great Divorce From God For The Nations

We had a fall in Genesis 3. We had a second rebellion in Genesis 6, that was so bad, that permeated humanity so deeply that God sends a flood. After the flood, Noah and his sons emerge from the ark and God repeats the original Edenic mandate; spread out, populate and spread my goodness. So what do they do? They congregate at Babel. And at this point, God has had enough. He divorces humanity. And allot them other members of his council, but they also rebel. God comes to Abraham because he still wants to restore the nations. Babel and the call of Abraham set the stage for the rest of the Old Testament, this is why it's Israel against the nations, and it's Yahweh against the gods. Check it out!

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!

Exodus 6 (KJV) 3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. Psalm 83 (KJV) 18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. Isaiah 12 (KJV) 2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Isaiah 26 (KJV) 4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

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

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...

YHWH is The Most High.. Jesus Christ is the redeeming Lord of Hosts.. The Holy Spirit is in me because Jesus is Glorified.. I'm bought at a price and sealed for his names sake.. I love God.. I'm a citizen of the New Creation.. How do I represent Jesus in a fallen state in a cursed creation? How do I overcome evil with good?

[@BruceRHaskinSr]

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.

Then i see this man from inspiring philosophy on divine council My jaw dropped I wasnt the only one that seen it.

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.

[@Mycroftsbrother]

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?

[@gkeith64]

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????....

[@WhatYourPastorDidntTellYou]

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.

[@KnuNetzer]

@@WhatYourPastorDidntTellYou - Monolatry is the term

[@Jim-Mc]

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.

[@holysmokes4493]

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.

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.

[@AllOtherNamesUsed]

_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._ _If we let the Bible interpret the Bible then the MARK (or sign) in the hand and in the forehead of Revelation 13:16-17 refers to the keeping of the Mosaic legislation - its holy day system and regulations for the people of Israel in the land of Canaan. And this is what the Antichrist will subject the world to when he commences his reign in Jerusalem just before the true Second Advent. He will display to the world his supposed divinity, the world will accept it, he will sit himself with great ceremony in the temple at Jerusalem, and then proclaim himself the true divinity come from heaven to reside among men (2 Thessalonians 2:4)._ From "The Antichrist Will Establish the Mosaic Law" by the late Ernest L. Martin

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.
