Unseen Realm Update: Website and (Half) Trailer
Hi Dr. Heiser. Is it possible to pre-order the book from Amazon in the Kindle edition?
I don’t know what the plan is, other than that I’ve been told it will be on Kindle. Check after Sept 1.
Nice.
Well done.
I guarantee the book is a good read.
Insightful. Accurate.
Intellectually stimulating.
All the good things you probably had in mind when you wrote it.
Thanks/Very Best.
I’d add “useful” to that list. 🙂 It will be interesting to see, six months from now, what the reactions are in mainstream evangelicalism.
Looking good.
yep; I’ll post the final (full) version after Sept 1.
Interesting. As one of the speakers said, when God says he will fight the Elohim of Egypt, He meant it as saying he will have victory over the spiritual entities supportive of Egypt. I always understood that as a sort of polemic against Ra and the rest of the Egyptian pantheon.
So I am trying to get this straight. If the ancient Israelites believed that to be the spiritual powers (created by God) that are supportive of Egypt, does that mean that the Israelites thought Ra was an Elohim under the power of Yahweh? Or later in Judges when it mentions Chemosh; is that a reference to an elohim of Yahweh?
it means they believed Ra was a real and hostile entity. Someone with Deut 32 in mind would make some connection (“Ra is a corrupt elohim, in rebellion and disloyal to Yahweh and his laws/rule”). Same for Chemosh.
You just floored me. Seriously.
Why do I have hard time accepting that? I always saw that as a form of polemic against even the notion that the elohim of Egypt were real or anything even of even a perceived threat against Yahweh.
It is a polemic — Yahweh just beat up on your gods. That has zero impact if Yahweh is beating up on nothing.
Brother Mike, I made a complete idiot of myself in posting a question here a few days ago. Thank you for not posting it and making me feel any more foolish than I already do. I was in a “debate” with someone at the time who holds that the “Sons of God” in Genesis 6:4 are human men, not angels, and it had been a few days since I had finished your book and had forgotten your treatment of the subject I was inquiring about. Mea culpa! I greatly enjoyed the book and am already using it as a reference source, as you can see. Hope that all is well with you and that the book does really well!!! CB
No problem!
