AsTheChaosDies

#Nahum #AsTheChaosDies #Rage We are continuing our study of the book of Nahum. In this study we will look at 1:2-3b. Why is Yahweh called an avenging God three times? Is there a relationship between this threefold usage and the Trinity? What are the connections between this passage and the Canaanite deities El and Baal? Who are Yahweh’s foes? And what does it mean that he maintains rage? Nahum repurposes the writings of Moses. What do we glean from his usage of the Torah? And how do Paul and Peter expand on what Nahum has prophesied? In this section of scripture about God’s vengeance and justice we are also reminded of his great grace. Join us as we continue our analysis of this amazing book of prophecy!

#Jonah #BibleStudy #AsTheChaosDies Continuing our verse by verse study through the book of Jonah. Today we explore chapter four. Why was chapter four written? Wouldn’t chapter three have been a better ending? End the story with a great, successful revival. But that’s not how it ends… so what’s the message in chapter communicating? What is the theological significance of Jonah going east? What do the plant and worm represent? What is the connection between Jonah and Genesis 1-11? Does Jonah ever truly repent? Join us as we complete our fascinating journey through this incredible book!

#DivineCouncil #HolyOnes #AsTheChaosDies The Divine Council is made up of Yahweh Most High and His Holy Ones. Who are the Holy Ones? Do they include the church? In this video we discuss who is currently in the divine council, and who will be in it in the future. This is a clip from the video “The Logos, The gods, & Those Who Stand in the Council of the Holy Ones. A study in honor of Dr Heiser”

#DeathOfTheGods #DivineCouncil #AsTheChaosDies Discussing the link between Psalm 2 and Isaiah 24. On the Day of the Lord both the gods and men will be brought down and judged by the Lord of the Council, Jesus Christ. This is a clip from the video “The Logos, The gods, & Those Who Stand in the Council of the Holy Ones. A study in honor of Dr Heiser”

#Psalm82 #Psalm103 #John10 #AsTheChaosDies John 10:34-36 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’? If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken—do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? Who are the gods to whom the Word of God came? Jesus statement in John 10 has led to much misunderstanding. We will attempt to explain it in light of Psalm 82, Psalm 97, Psalm 103, and Hebrews 1:6. This is a clip from the video “The Logos, The gods, & Those Who Stand in the Council of the Holy Ones. A study in honor of Dr Heiser”

#Jonah #BibleStudy #AsTheChaosDies We continue our study of the book of Jonah. In this study we will go verse by verse through chapter 3. Yahweh is the God of second chances. In this chapter we see the Lord commission Jonah to go to Nineveh for the second time. He wants the people of Nineveh to have the choice whether or not to repent. Does Jonah go willingly? How large was Nineveh? What is the real meaning of Jonah’s message “40 days and Nineveh will be overturned”? How did the early Rabbinic and Christian interpreters understand the message? Who was the king of Nineveh? What is the spiritual significance of the king of Nineveh laying aside his royal robes? Why were the animals made to fast? We discuss these questions and many others in this fascinating discussion of Jonah chapter 3!

#Jonah #BibleStudy #AsTheChaosDies Continuing our study in the Book of Jonah. Today we finish chapter 2. We also explore the connections between Jonah, the exodus, the prophecies of Hosea, Isaiah, and Psalm 24. What does Egypt symbolize? What are the ancient gates? We see in these scriptures that Yahweh goes into the underworld, conquers death, and redeems his people!

#Jonah #BibleStudy #AsTheChaosDies We continue our verse by verse analysis of the Book of Jonah. In Part Three we are going line by line through Jonah’s poem in Chapter 2. Did Jonah die? Did he enter the underworld? What is the Nahar? And how does it relate to the Leviathan? We continue to see evidences of the rot inside the soul of Jonah. And if we’re honest, we see it in our own souls as well. What is the only answer to this condition?

#Jonah #BibleStudy #AsTheChaosDies In this part of our Jonah study we will explore the identity of the being that swallowed Jonah. Was it a dragon? What did the early church believe it was? Why did they view Jesus as the bait on the hook that snared leviathan? Why do the rabbis teach that Jonah was swallowed by two separate entities? Also in this episode, how does Jonah’s ordeal relate to Israel crossing the Sea in Exodus 15? What was the symbolic or prophetic intent of Aaron’s dragon swallowing the dragons of pharaoh? And finally, what could the gender of the monster POSSIBLY have to do with John 3 and Jesus conversation with Nicodemus? Oh, and what does a Mermaid have to do with any of this?!?!

#Jonah #biblestudy #AsTheChaosDies We begin our verse by verse study of the book of Jonah. There is so much depth, richness, and prophetic symbolism in Jonah! There is a lot of Jonah in each of us. The way in which Yahweh deals with the rebel Jonah should give us all encouragement. I am excited to go through this incredible book with a view to its prophetic imagery!

#TheLogosOfGod #NakedBible #DrHeiser This is a study of the divine council and those who stand therein. Who is the Divine Logos? To whom does He appear? What does Jesus mean when he quotes Psalm 82 in John 10? What is the assembly of El? Does Jeremiah stand in the divine council? Do the other prophets? What is meant by “seeing the Logos of God”? Are the gods Israelite ruling elders? How does the Septuagint translate the Hebrew term Elohim? Are they divine beings or men? Why is Psalm 103 not mentioned in these discussions? And why it definitely should be. Join me in this study in honor of the life and work of Dr Michael S. Heiser

Starting our study of the book of Nahum. In this study we are introducing the book. Looking at the historical, literary, and theological background of Nahum. Nahum is an often neglected book. But it’s an important book that contains eschatological overtones and prophetic truths for us individually as well as the days in which we live. Nahum is tied to the books of Jonah and Habakkuk, both literarily and thematically. John also draws on Nahum’s description of the destruction of Nineveh in his famous vision of Mystery Babylon in Revelation 17 and 18. Join us as we begin this incredible book of prophecy!
