Was the Purpose of the Law to Oppose the Watchers?

Enoch is not inspired, but a book doesn't have to be inspired to be important. Biblical writers read lots of books, they quote from lots of sources. Why shouldn't we read something that Peter or Jude read so that we can become more intelligent readers of Peter and Jude? So we say to our people; "don't look at Genesis 6 as supernatural. Don't dip into these resources that would actually help you read your New Testament in context. Don't do that." And of course, you're going to get to 1 Peter 3 and have no idea what to do with it.

Hey so you wanna tell me your thoughts on MH comment at 1:49 WHAT TREE DID THE TWO EAT FROM WOW

[@omeyaotl]

Now I know why Mike doesn't read the comments anymore. Everyone is an accomplished Bible scholar. Every claim he makes has resources to support them. It's actually not new information. He may not be mainstream or of your denomination, but probably knows more than your pastor, and most likely everyone here, definitely me. So I appreciate greatly how he connects dots throughout scripture and has increased my knowledge of God's plan, as well as Hebrew and Greek. My salvation is secure. This is next level stuff. You just may not get it or want to see it.

[@baltichammer6162]

For a few years the Bible was slowly opening then along came Heiser and that's when the Bible exploded and spun my mind like a top. The Bible hasn't been the same since. Thank the Lord for that.

[@aural_supremacy]

He doesn’t read comments because for all his study he still thinks the Eternal One is a trinity which is false furthermore it seems not many people realised that he made a huge mistake at the beginning saying that Adam and Eve were banished from Eden for eating the fruit from the tree of life, no they were banished so that they wouldn’t, basic error but fundamentally erroneous doctrine but you are all too busy worshiping his knowledge “cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from YHWH” if you don’t know where that reference is and more besides suggest you stop watching this demon fanboy and read the scriptures.

No one could ever explain the difference between idiology and idolatry. If someone regurgitate some definition it is because they did not listen to the question or they are part of the problem. I like how he says seed for thought. Not saying this is absolutely the truth, or that is absolutely false. What he is doing is, encouraging the listener to think outside the parameters of conventional ideas. To me that makes perfect sense because then you go back and participate, by doing your own leg work. Referencing and reading for yourself and allow you to decide. I love that. Personally, getting people to start thinking for themselves and then come to an agreement is worth much more than blindly let a human stand on a pedestal telling you what is essentially only their opinion.

The most interesting part about the argumentative comments I see here is that arguing here proves the point to those who read scripture that he is the real deal. You prove, by arguing here, that he is of Yahusha/Jesus, because of John 15:16-21. To paraphrase verse 20, “...if they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have guarded my word they will guard yours also.” I think the best option here, is if you disagree and are unable to receive counsel (Proverbs 12:15), keep your comment to yourself, or you risk falling into the same role the Pharisees did when Yahusha walked on this earth: always looking for fallacies and opportunities to trip up and accuse because, well, see John 8:41-47.

Fasting and prayer is mentioned often in the scriptures. Fasting seems to serve a purpose or utility. Would be interesting to hear from Heiser as to why this is concerning fasting and this practice as to why it is prescribed. Could this also have to do with the transgressions of the Watchers when they were instructed not to eat of food once sent to earth to help and instruct mankind, yet they disobeyed and chose to eat food? Could this have to do with the sin in the Garden of Eden having to do with eating of the Tree of Life as well? What does refraining from eating actually do and what does it do when accompanied with prayer?

Published by Mohr Siebeck this week: The Origin and Persistence of Evil in Galatians by Tyler A. Stewart. In this study, Tyler A. Stewart investigates narrative explanations for evil in Galatians set in the context of Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity. Scholarship has typically interpreted Paul's view of evil based on Adam's fall or a mere reflex of Christology. In contrast, the author argues that in Galatians Paul's view of evil is based on the narrative of rebellious angels found in the Book of Watchers. Additionally, he claims that Paul's use of Enochic tradition is consistent with Second Temple Jewish literature and finds support in early Christian reception of Galatians.

Alternative is his dissertation "The Present Evil Age": The Origin and Persistence of Evil in"The Present Evil Age": The Origin and Persistence of Evil in Galatians at Marquette University. Abstract: This dissertation investigates the origin and persistence of evil in Galatians within the context of Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity. The focus of investigation is narrative explanation(s) for evil. What story and/or stories were told to explain the original cause of evil and why it persists in the present? The study begins with a history of research that separates current scholarly accounts of Paul’s view of evil into two broad categories, Adamic template and Christological novum. According to the Adamic template, evil originates in Adam’s sin and persists in human rebellion in the likeness of the Protoplast. According to the Christological novum, Paul’s view of evil is merely a reflex of his Christology. My research challenges both categories.I make four claims about evil in Paul, Second Temple Judaism, and early Christianity. First, Paul’s argument in Galatians, especially Gal 3:19-4:11, is informed by Enochic tradition (chapters two and five). In Galatians Paul’s view of evil is based on the Enochic narrative of rebellious angels. Second, among first century Jews, Adamic and Enochic traditions were not separated as inherently incompatible narrative explanations of evil (chapter three). Jewish authors commonly cited multiple traditions to articulate their theology of evil, producing a mixed template. Third, the function of Adamic and Enochic traditions are determined by the contexts in which they appear (chapters three and four). Adamic tradition, for example, does not indicate that evil is an essentially human problem from start to finish that absolves God (chapter three). Likewise, Enochic tradition does not blame superhuman forces for evil and abdicate human responsibility (chapter four). These traditions do not conform to strict patterns of meaning in the ways that modern scholarship often assumes. Fourth, an Enochic reading of Galatians 3:19-4:11 is supported by the early reception of Paul (chapter six). Among second century Christian apologists, especially Justin Martyr, Paul’s arguments in Galatians are redeployed and explicitly combined with an Enochic narrative.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of don't do this, and don't do that out there in congregations, that may not be rooted in Truth. Many times it is about control, and how to maintain it within that particular group. The apostle Paul speaks about your freedom in Christ, but asks you not to offend your weaker brother and sister. Not that we take advantage of Grace, but that we have the wisdom from God as to how administer it properly. This fellow helps clear a lot of that up.

CONTEXT of 'THE LAW' spoken of in Galatians 3, is also given in Galatians 3:17 What I mean is this: THE LAW that came 430 years later DOES NOT REVOKE THE COVENANT previously established by God, so as to nullify the promise. 18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God freely granted it to Abraham through a promise. So it's not the 10 Commandments, but THE PRIESTHOOD LAW of Sacrifice & Oblation as needed to establish a High Priest in a Earthly Temple. The 10 Commandments however were very well known to all mankind as far back as Cain & Abel, otherwise how could Cain have known that it was unlawful to kill his brother, and then LIE to God about it? You will also note that this murder came about because of COVETOUSNESS over a SACRIFICAL offering. So what Sacrifice do you suppose they were offering and for what reason? Do you suppose it could have been the Passover? Perhaps thats why Paul says in Acts 18:21 ... I MUST BY ALL MEANS KEEP THIS FEAST WHICH COMETH IN JERUSALEM... Perhaps it's also why Paul said in Colossians 2:16 Therefore let no one judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a Feast, a New Moon, or a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, BUT THE BODY THAT CASTS IT BELONGS TO CHRIST. And Paul also says in Eph 5:30 WE ARE MEMBERS OF HIS BODY... Now Peter warns us that Pauls writing can be difficult for many to understand, but it's very clear to me that these Feasts, New Moon Days, and Sabbath Days are the SHADOWS that THE BODY OF CHRIST is supposed to continue to cast, and that we should not let anyone judge us for doing so. Well the Romans most certainly judged the Christians for doing so, didn't they? They murdered Christians in various ways for refusing to follow the Roman Julian Calendar - THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST. Daniel 7 forewarned that this 4th BEAST would think to change the Religious Festivals and Laws, and they almost accomplished it. Today Millions of people who profess to be Christians have been DECEIVED TO WORSHIP THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST. By following the Roman pagan calendar, they are DECEIVED TO BUY & SELL WHEN THEY SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO - Neh 10:31 ...ON SABBATHS, OR ON ANY HOLY DAY... Do Christians really need to keep the Feasts? Well Acts 2 tells me YES! As does the testimony of Paul, and Peter who called Paul a BELOVED BROTHER, despite Paul publicly rebuking Peter at Antioch, over his circumcision covenant hypocrisy.

As long as the government is fighting unwinnable wars, they will need bodies. Paying single moms to spit out children (through government welfare) while discouraging abortions is going to create more single mothers in poverty; Uncle Sam is hoping the men end up in the military while the women become knocked-up single moms just like their mothers did.

I hope this bring clarity. Under the old covenant those people were still under the old Adam. So they had the old nature. The law and works were there to keep their heart focused. But Because of Jesus, He was full of grace and truth. Grace is the power to overcome sin. Now we live Jesus' life, now we have the ability to overcome sin.. The new nature has the law written on our hearts, so we don't desire evil, be we are now free to do good and sow to the things of the spirit and not the flesh. Because our old nature is dead. There are two verses: Galatians 6:7-10 King James Version 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. James 2:14-26 New King James Version Faith Without Works Is Dead 14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without [a]your works, and I will show you my faith by [b]my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is [c]dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made [d]perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was [e]accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

We have bearers of false witness, ear ticklers and those who lead their flocks astray. We've been told this. Dr. Heiser and Brian Godawa are two people who helped me understand, that the bible narrative is so much more and that Angels sinned and sinned most grievously. That Giants were real! That angels have probably sinned infinitely worse than we ever have and one reason I believe that, is because they were the conduits of so much depravity and things which are with us even unto today.

This is interesting. Paul also wrote this verse and he was well trained in the law by a accomplished teacher of the law in his day. Romans 4:15 KJVS [15] Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. So it appears to be a contradiction. But upon further study these verses may explain the apparent contradiction. Exodus 16:4 KJVS [4] Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no. The law was one that was perhaps spoken by Moses because God issued them. Abraham also obeyed God’s law which he spoke to Abraham. Genesis 26:5 KJVS [5] Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

That being said, in 2 Thessalonians where it speaks of the restrainer having to be removed before the man of lawlessness is revealed, could what youre're describing be used in the same context in 2 Thessalonians?

"It was added because of transgressions". Notice that he didn't say it was Adam and Eve's transgressions (although it certainly could apply to any human being). When was the Law given? Was it given immediately after Adam and Eve were ejected from the Garden? No. It was given (added) in the Sinai desert. What were the people doing while Moses was up in that mountain? Pretty much violating (transgressing) every law given there. It was added because they were offending the very One who saved them from bondage. To read anything more into it than that is to go way off the deep end.

[@Nighthawkinlight]

Agreed. In the context Paul makes clear he's talking about the mosiac law, delivered to human beings 430 years after Abraham with plenty of transgressions in between. The fall of Adam is nowhere in mind in the passage. 17 This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void. 18 For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise. 19 Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary. 20 Now an intermediary implies more than one, but God is one.

I had a Bible teacher the was teaching this topic since at least the early 90’s when I was born again and found him. He passed away several years ago, but most of his teaching is still on KZbin. His name is Dr. Chuck Missler. No greater teacher ever lived.

Dr. Michael Shalom, 👍 I'm a Hebrew and i love the books of Enoch. I tried to convince some rabbis to read Enoch, but they wouldn't... they call it a taboo...🛑 Everything about Enoch is taboo in Jewish tradition ⛔. I'm not religious, but i discovered this only in exile. They didn't even tell us in high school that the books of Enoch existed. I've also been on Hermon mountain several times. There are hidden caves and underground tunnels that haven't been explored yet, because of the war with Syria i reckon. But i have no doubt in my mind that evidence of the watchers and their assembly can be found deep within the mountain. I believe personally that these giants also built the city of Petra in Edom. 🙏

Jesus is the Word of God. Enoch is not the Word of God. Jesus died for our sins according to the scriptures, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the scriptures.

1 Peter 3:18-21 ESV [18] For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, [19] in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, [20] because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. [21] Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Here is a interesting notion, we’re the spirits in prison who died because of the flood baptized into Christ, before the fact? Romans 6:3-6 ESV [3] Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? [4] We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. [5] For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. [6] We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. Jesus no doubt preach to to them the significance of his death, and that suffering leads to the body of sin being brought to nothing. 1 Peter 4:1-2 KJVS [1] Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; [2] That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

There are multiple transgressions in Genesis, they were excluded from the garden for one that's all.

[@J10098]

Hi Dr. Heiser. Just to probe here, wasn't it two sins, God told them not to even touch the fruit as well and we know how that went, so they touched it and ate it.

[@tomnoyb8301]

Much better.

[@lukewagner8871]

1 Peter 3:17-18 KJVS [17] For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. [18] For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: Doctor as you know there were no chapter divisions in the manuscripts. I think the previous verses are a initial train of reasoning for what follows in chapter 4. 1 Peter 4:1-2,12-13 KJVS [1] Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; [2] That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. [12] Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: [13] But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. A Christian suffers for sin when he is chastised by God. God chastises/scourges the sons He loves. Those spirits in prison suffered a long duration of imprisonment for their sins. That made some see the suffering they caused others as wrong against the law of love. In short they had learned to view their actions with regret. That is why prisons were called correctional facilities. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmmVnphrgb-Fnck

[@adamkelm1043]

The law lays the legal groundwork for what must be done to please God for both men and Spiritual Rulers and the prophets demonstrates the intention by both men and Spiritual Rulers to intentionally disobey those laws, which lays a legal groundwork for what happens in Daniel. God is brilliant and methodical in how he undermines his servant's attempt to overthrow his kingdom. They never stood a chance.

Who designed the shirt - while I realize that the design is (perhaps) intended to be mysterious, it is too hard to make sense of - it doesn't give even a hint to the viewer (which is why I would wear it) of what's going on with these teachings. Got anything else? If it is intended to convey 'mind blowing' - I think it is rendered in a way that would turn thoughtful people off. How about one of those flurry of wings thing - intriguing.

[@geoffhall1449]

I think Dr. Heiser misspoke there. Adam and Eve didn’t eat from the Tree of Life, but the Tree of Knowledge (of good and evil)?

[@kimberlysollenberger1552]

Why are there not more pastors teaching this

[@baltichammer6162]

Because they are stuck and blinded by their theology. I know some would never read or listen to Heiser because it might pollute their beliefs. Not a joke.

[@beckyfoster89]

Tim Mackie has a You tube channel . And also one called the Bible Project on you tube he does with Jon Collins , which is very good . NT Wright is really good too . All of them I believe are biblical theologian and ancient Hebrew and Aramaic language scholars . Heiser has a Channel called the Naked Bible Podcast on You tube which is really good and is an eye opener if you haven't heard those podcast . 🙏

[@kimberlysollenberger1552]

Yes, I know I mentioned that.

[@leonardobarbieri1292]

I honestly think Dr. Heiser is wrong on this one. The Pentateuch, the prophets, Jewish and early Christian tradition point otherwise. The "transgressions" are referent to the golden calf. If anyone wants sources, just ask. I have the texts in Portuguese but I could translate them.

[@lilchristuten7568]

I think he's wrong but it isn't just about the golden calf, it's about all sin, all transgressions made by mankind. Not only is the premise of this teaching a lie, it also doesn't make sense. What would the sins of the supposed "watchers" have to do with God giving the Israelites the law? According to the book of enoch (which he seems to think is scripture) God dealt with the "watchers" and He wiped out all mankind who had dealings with them.

[@leonardobarbieri1292]

​@@lilchristuten7568 And it's also kind of dangerous to attribute humanity's sins and guilt to angels. The book of Enoch is an old interpretation of Scripture IN LIGHT OF BABYLONIAN MYTHS, but it's not Scripture itself. But what I meant is that there are a lot of evidences all over the Bible and the Jewish tradition about "the law" having been given for the transgression of the golden calf. Originally the Israelites would live only with the ten commandments, without sacrifice and the Levitical/ceremonial laws.

[@baltichammer6162]

I don’t understand the allusion to Genesis 3. Galatians 3:19 tells us that the Law was “added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made”, that singular seed being Christ (verse 16). I’m not criticizing Michael, just saying I don’t understand the connection to the Watchers-
