Description
Did God appoint divine sons of His over the nations to rule over them as placeholders at Babel? Did these divine sons become corrupt, giving rise to world religions and territorial spirits? In this video, we will do a deep dive on the key passages and controversies of Dr. Michael Heiser's Divine Council Worldview. We are joined by Fred Butler of MacArthur's Grace To You, who was recently featured on Justin Peter's YT channel to do a skeptical review of The Unseen Realm. We will go over key elements of Heiser's theology together from both sides of the fence.
