To wit: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the Divine Council?<\/li>\n<li>What implications does the Divine Council model have for Christian theology?<\/li>\n<li>How does this affect our lives?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In a nutshell, the Divine Council is the group of divine beings &#8212; <i>seraphim<\/i>, <i>cherubim<\/i>, and <i>malakim<\/i> &#8212; who make up the court of God.  It&#8217;s referenced most notably in I Kings 22:19-23 and Psalm 82. <\/p>\n<p>The rebellion of the fallen angels has taken place in several stages: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The &#8220;serpent&#8221; in Eden;<\/li>\n<li>The Watchers of Genesis chapter 6, whose interaction with human women produced the Nephilim;<\/li>\n<li>The seventy &#8220;sons of God&#8221; (<i>bene elohim<\/i>) who were placed over the nations after the incident at the Tower of Babel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Those 70 <i>bene elohim<\/i> became the gods of the nations around the ancient Hebrews: Marduk, Molech, Chemosh, Baal, Asherah, Dagon, and the rest.  They are still with us, and their goal is the destruction of mankind. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to his biblical studies, Mike is the author of <i>The Facade<\/i>, a mind-blowing novel that includes his research in great detail.  It&#8217;s a great read, and he includes a bibliography with some great sources for further study. <\/p>\n<p> Show Links: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelsheiser.com\/\">Mike Heiser&#8217;s website<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedivinecouncil.com\/\">The Divine Council study group<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/michaelsheiser.com\/new%20facade%20front%20page.htm\">Home page for Mike&#8217;s novel, <i>The Facade<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check out the new website for <a href=\"http:\/\/laodiceachronicles.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Laodicea Chronicles<\/em> series of novels by Sharon and Derek<\/a>, and if you haven&#8217;t listened yet, subscribe to the free podcast audio book edition of <a href=\"http:\/\/derekpgilbert.com\/?page_id=2953\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The God Conspiracy<\/em><\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.podiobooks.com\/title\/the-god-conspiracy\" target=\"_blank\">clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Come visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/PID-Radio\/152408925181\" target=\"_blank\">our Facebook page<\/a>, and check out the like-minded Christian podcasters at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.revelationsradionetwork.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Revelations Radio Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Click the arrow on the player below to listen now, or right-click (control-click if you have a Mac) the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153download\u00e2\u20ac\u009d link to save the mp3 file to your hard drive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BECAUSE DEREK is recording an interview for this coming weekend tonight, we present a pair of shows from the archive, a two-part interview with Dr. Michael Heiser on his research into the Divine Council.
