What does the Bible really tell us about the heavenly host? Everyone knows that angels have wings, usually carry harps, and that each of us has our own personal guardian angel, right? We all have some preconceptions about angels from movies, television shows, and other media, but you might be surprised to know that a lot of those notions aren't based on anything from the Bible. In Angels, Dr. Michael Heiser reveals what the Bible really says about God's supernatural servants, illuminated by the wider context of the ancient Near Eastern world. Deepen your understanding of the loyal members of God's heavenly host and find answers to questions like:

● What exactly are angels and what are they able to do?
● Who is the angel of Yahweh?
● Can fallen angels be redeemed?
● What are "tongues of angels"?
● Do Christians become angels when they die?

Thank you for the pauses between concepts. It’s so much less distracting than having to pause the video so one can mentally fix the idea before moving on to the next thought! Such a great video! ❤

Heiser details tremendously. I bought his books so could read those! Still love hearing him speak.

This video reminds us why the divine counsel worldview matters for our fullest possible understanding of the Gospel. If we don’t know how God relates to his heavenly image bearers, we lose a significant part of the picture painted of how we will ultimately relate to God.
Lack of understanding also gives heresies a foothold to misuse “divine counsel” verses toward some unintended end.

If one reads the news humans have lost their minds😢

It's always amazing to me how many believers don't know this information, and they read right over it constantly. Understanding these things in my personal opinion, helps to understand the sovereignty of God Almighty. Revere Him. Like a Godly father figure. Because that's what He is . Our Father.

They do have wings, I have heard them, unmistakable I have. In fact sometimes it sounds like they have multiple sets. I used to always rebuke it, then I realized I wasn’t sure who I was rebuking.

Oh, my word, Stefan. I just realized that this is over 2 hours long! 😮
It's 2AM here in South Carolina, US. I thought I was grabbing a short video before bed.
Nope.
I think this is for tomorrow. 😅
Pretty sure my nighttime book is Haggai. I've almost arrived at the NT again in my listening. It never gets old.
(Brother, with 9/11 coming up, maybe you could post a video or two on Heiser explaining Rev 12? I don't want people missing the real "Christmas." ?????)

Michael Heiser helped us to see what really took place at the Tower of Babel and God’s creation of nations with Angelic hosts placed in authority over them. And how those entities fell from grace and started accepting worship from men, mistreated the poor and the needy, while upholding the evil and wicked men.
However, Michael Heiser misses the mark on the cosmology of the earth and the roles of angels as stars and lights in the heavens. Likely, he was influenced or hindered by the Catholic Jesuit priests, who have long held a grip over the evangelical churches around the world.

we are different to angels because we through Christ, through spiritual reborn has been made into Christ's image who is loyal to the end, so once we are given our new body our new heart would be inline with that new body, and we would be loyal like Christ is loyal.

O think angels "wings" are toroidal field around them which would liik like wings. and enable them to fly and maybe appear to appear from the sky energetic pattern where energy flows out of one end, loops around the outside, and reenters through the center

And no one knows we walk and talk live like humans some of us ...in the Bible names are important....the human experience because we have to , the messengers ...the world is our office as we observe humans and have our own human experience to completely understand and have relatable experiences...to be compassionate towards humanity...and their choices to be without God ... some of us our assignments are brutal, full of many things ...it's not to have a cushy life to experience evil in flesh against us then pick apart why would any human being would act in such evil ... instead with love and compassion towards each other ....

Please be careful you may be entertaining Angels ...

I'm just the messenger...

So far humanity is about itself and their own ways ...Many think God doesn't exist when plainly He does ...just take a deep look around you ..ask yourself how does this all function look toward cells all of His creations haves cells educate yourself all the way to emotions mental and physical...
Many are slothful and search not for God but how to make their desires pleasurable to them ....
Rules many hate this has been a problem since our brother decided to be rebellious...and lie ..many humans lie to themselves more than lieing to others ...and this is what brings on many evil things we see today ...they lie so there is no guilt and continue to destroy their own Spirit and others ...

Something Humans don't look at is action has reaction, you do evil it pleasures the individual at the same time hurting many ...beside it hurts them as well ...

Humans get desensitized to the point they no longer live with God's Spirit but the Spirit of the devil ...evil chips away always starts with a lie , " well the world does it " or " this person said it was ok or medical or science or humans "

If humans only knew 😢😭💔 you walk with God it grows your joy and happiness not drugs , violence, money , sex and LIEING to one's self or to others ...
