@@USMCArchAngel03 Amen to that. God bless you in Jesus' mighty name.

God always has back up...God will use anybody and everybody to accomplished his plan...(Moses to Joshua etc)

Woa I didn’t even hear of his passing, does he a protege carrying on his teaching?

Such a loss.

Not a loss, people. Paul said “to live is Christ, to die is gain”. He’s glorified as we speak. And if we were able to ask Heiser, “would you like to comeback and continue your ministry?”. I have a feeling that Heiser would say something like, “guys and gals, don’t you know I’m glorified? How can you want me to comeback into a perishable body….while I’m enjoying all the promises of God?” “And by the way…..I’m no genius! As Paul said, I was the chief of sinners. I just did my homework, the work prepared for me before the foundation of the world. As the Reformers said: Soli Deo Gloria”.

@@spindoggytheexplorer2915 Not aware of anyone in particular. I think that Mike's legacy will be in those who he has influenced to look at scripture less dogmatically which may be able to break us out of systems of beliefs that choke the word. That being said, I don't agree with Mike on everything. But, If I'm studying a book of scripture, I'll always go the NakedBible podcasts and download his transcripts because they're a good place to start.

Make sure to watch the Unseen Realm

@bernardvalentine8336 I hope you continued to watch Dr. Heiser's content.

It's pretty cool that we have videos now. His inspired teachings will live on hopefully until the end.

Did he say anything biblical in this video? We sure know from the Holy Bible that fallen angels had nothing to do with the Nephilim.

​@@earlysdawatchers

Indeed. I owe my Masters thesis to his work, and the rest of the work I've been involved with since then.

@@earlysda Yes. it is Biblical. The Nephilim are the giant offspring of the angels who had sex with human women. If you can read between the lines, you can figure out that Eve had sex with either Helel(Lucifer) or Samael and begat Cain and Able. Which is where human blood lines were infected with evil traits. This explains a whole lot on why things have been done the way that they have been. Only later did Eve give birth to Seth, which noted that Seth had the likeness of Adam. Apparently Cain and Able did not have such a likeness to Adam. This and the Book of Enoch explain leaps and bounds and gives us the why, where most of the Bible is like WTH is going on and makes no sense at all. This knowledge resolves most if not all of those questions. Godspeed!

i didnt know him but have heard of him, didnt know he was gone from here

Right!? Amen.

Me, too.

That's because he was a lying heretic.

His argument seems to lack evidence.

​@@byard55I think he put forward a lot of evidence for his argument

​@byard55 Where's your evidence he's wrong? He has studied ancient language his entire adult life. Not that a PhD means everything but he has one. He has talked about the Rephaim, Nephilim, and other entities extensively. He presents a boatload of evidence in his books.

Dr. Heiser was credentialed and experienced but not infallible, his Nephilology wasn’t biblical, and he tended to create more problems than he solved-see these articles for examples: Review of Amy Richter and Michael Heiser on four Enochian Watcher related women in Jesus’ genealogy Rebuttal to Dr. Michael Heiser’s “All I Want for Christmas is Another Flawed Nephilim Rebuttal”

He really did have a wonderful dry sense of humor that I think most people didn't pick up on because they were distracted by the fascinating things he was saying.

Yes same here. He could add some comic relief to these serious topics. There will never be another Dr Heiser!

Your comment is a matter of fact type mindset since you're telling all Christians what to do and how to do it.

We are not called to control people’s reactions/feelings. We are called to speak plainly, with boldness, while gentle and respectful. These are attitudes we posses not what we are to control in others. We are the stench of death to the unbeliever We are a sweet aroma to the believer Don’t confuse being a people pleaser with meekness

Man you get it, you actually get it. I've been threatened with hell fire many times just questioning and trying to understand. I guess there is a subset of people that will bow down when someone uses false authority bassed you better do what I say, or you will experience my displeasure type gimmicks but it just drives any self respecting person away.

Very.

We sure know from the Holy Bible that fallen angels had nothing to do with the Nephilim.

​@@earlysdayou're full of sh*t. Let's see some Bible verses to support your claim.

It would be helpful if theologians were to regularly define their terms. Communication requires the clear meaning of words.

@@earlysdathen where did they come from according to the Bible?

@@phillipmargrave phillip, just as the text strongly suggests: The righteous men of the line of Seth saw the wicked women of the line of Cain, and decided to marry them, against God's commands. . While we don't have the recorded command of God not to marry them, we can infer it, because many times later throughout the Bible we see injunctions of God warning his followers to not be unequally yoked with unbelievers.

That's one interpretation. The other, much more prevalent throughout the Levitical materials is that unclean is to do with the dead. Unclean spirits are also called daimones (demons) which also included in popular culture to which the gospel writers were writing, human spirits of the dead that are not at rest with God. See the parable of the unclean spirit, which wanders through dry and arid places (places associated in cosmic geography with death).

Made me wonder, Would a person be condemned if there was a giant way back in their lineage? Would their spirit then also be unclean? How would a person would know whether there was a giant in their ancestry? Much of the world could be like that. But God's desire is that all would be saved so I'm thinking the unclean is because of their conduct.

@@roberttwyman432I wonder about RH- blood type people, like, is it reptilian? I also wonder if someone that works with the occult, pass their helping spirits onto their children after they pass away.

Chuck Missler. He's not with us now either, but, his works are great. I'm doing a study now with his 24 sessions on Revelation. Both Michael, and Chuck, were intelligent, and down to earth. I thank God for these two wonderful gifts given to the Church. They both are a blessing, amen!!! Search Koinonia House.

In reply, in all my 70 years I have never heard anyone teach from the scriptures like Mike!

He was pretty much the only evangelical Christian teacher/ thinker that I really respected. Dude had courage. The stuff he taught was not mainstream and could have easily kept him from getting jobs after all those years of college.

@@johnmcgraw3568 He got a job working for God!!! Best job to have. He was blessed, and blessed us with what he learned. Hallelujah!!!!

They are tho. Fallen angels are also evil spirits too, just not the only ones. Others are the spirits of the nephilim which remain here on earth. So in a way they are still descendants of the fallen angels, just not directly angels themselves. There are Also just demonic powers etc which are much more vaguely described and like the angels were never mortal beings.

@@willtherealrustyschacklefo3812 The fallen angels are immortal and aren't spirits so they can't be evil spirits. The Nephilim, which weren't immortal became the evil spirits we hear about after the flood. You never hear about evil spirits messing with people until after the flood. Angels (good and bad) appeared to people before the flood and told them or showed them things but never possessed people. The fact that they took on physical form to marry and impregnate women indicates that they aren't spirits. Evil spirits weren't mentioned until after the flood, indicating that it was the spirits of the Nephilim which were not immortal and could die but could not enter heaven.

@PaladinOf-888 the spirit is physical. And yes the actual word used for both demons and angels is the same word outside of the English. It could also just refer to any form of spirit. What you seem to be confusing is a spirit which was once a mortal being, for a spirit which was never a mortal being.

@PaladinOf-888 and angels are interdimensional spirit beings. Not beings of flesh. Just because it's not flesh doesn't mean it isn't physical. Your new body will not be made of flesh

@Free_Palestine_From_HamasNo. Angels are not physical.

There is a great deal of “proof” of this in the Bible. And it’s supported by all of the traditions surrounding the Scriptures.

@@KenAmmi-Shalom I don’t disagree with you on principle, but the problem with something being biblical or not is that the Scriptures were written to and for people who had an understanding of the world that we have lost. In this case, it is VERY likely that the ancient Hebrews understood the Nephilim and what was happening there. So Moses didn’t need to explain it. They already knew it. In my case, I don’t need someone to recount the entire history of the US every time someone is writing about an event that occurred in our history.

@@bradleyperry1735 Indeed, “the ancient Hebrews understood the Nephilim and what was happening there” and told us about it with the Holy Spirit’s guidance. They lived pre-flood, they didn’t make it past the flood, end of story-until, of course, many centuries later some unreliable guys made up an “evil report” about having seen them and they were rebuked by God. Literally 100% of pop-Nephilology, and some scholarly Nephilology, hangs on one single sentence spoken by those guys.

@@bradleyperry1735 Thats an amazing point.

Some say second incursion. But some say the wives of Japeth and Ham carried the mixed DNA as all giants stem from the progeny of these two after the flood. Unknown. South American myths say some survived the flood by tunneling underground. Not sure.

The giants werent killed in the flood. According to 1 Enoch in the sentencing of the 200 watcher angels, they were forced to watch their offspring kill each other and then the watcher angels were imprisoned. That was around the time of Jared. In 1Enoch ch 12 it says the watchers taught enchantments, and cuttings of roots, then impregnation. So the giant offspring might have been a mixture of angel dna and the cutting of roots. In the book of Jasher it says that mankind also learned how to mix different species of animals together and thats what caused the flood. In Jubliees its says thay after the flood Canaan found the writting of the watcher in a cave. Its possible that the instructions for mixing dna and cutting of roots were part of the writtings that he found. In the conquest of the promise land with Joshua, they found gaint people and gaint grapes. Those instructions could have been from the writtings Canaan found. The human giants werent as big as the half angel giants so its probably just the cutting of roots and not angel dna mixing. These giants were probably normal humans that had been altered. The dna mixing could explain why whole towns had to be destroyed and God forbid the genetically mixing of beasts and plants. 1 ENOCH CHAPTER VII. 1. And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. 2. And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: 3. Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, 4. the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. 5. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. 6. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones. 1 Enoch 10:9 And the Lord said to Gabriel: “Proceed against the bastards, and the reprobates, and against the sons of the fornicators. And destroy the sons of the fornicators, and the sons of the Watchers, from amongst men. And send them out, and send them against one another, and let them destroy themselves in battle; for they will not have length of days. Book of Jasher, Chapter 4 18 And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals. ‭‭Jub Chapter 8 • In the twenty-ninth jubilee, in the first week, in the beginning thereof Arpachshad took to himself a wife and her name was Rasu'eja, the daughter of Susan, the daughter of Elam, and she bare him a son in the third year in this week, and he called his name Kainam. • And the son grew, and his father taught him writing, and he went to seek for himself a place where he might seize for himself a city. • And he found a writing which former (generations) had carved on the rock, and he read what was thereon, and he transcribed it and sinned owing to it; for it contained the teaching of the Watchers in accordance with which they used to observe the omens of the sun and moon and stars in all the signs of heaven. • And he wrote it down and said nothing regarding it; for he was afraid to speak to Noah about it lest he should be angry with him on account of it. Numbers‬ ‭13:23‬ ‭NASB1995‬ [23] Then they came to the valley of Eshcol and from there cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes; and they carried it on a pole between two men, with some of the pomegranates and the figs. Leviticus‬ ‭19:19‬ ‭NASB1995‬ [19] ‘You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together. Joshua‬ ‭6:21‬ ‭NASB1995‬ [21] They utterly destroyed everything in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword.

@@phillipbrand4098 Wouldn't it be interesting if they or their offspring wrote The Voynich Manuscript, it's never been translated but has a lot to do with plants.

You should not be relying on the Book of Jasher. It has no provenance before at best AD 900. @@phillipbrand4098

A lot of people think Nimrod (Gen 10:7-10) may be where the giants came back in. It is strange that Nimrod is listed separately from Cush's other progeny. Also "mighty hunter" may be a clue. The LXX in 10:8 actually says "He was the first on earth to be a giant". In addition, Josephus referencing Nicolaus of Damascus, says some people escaped the flood. “There is a great mountain in Armenia, over Minyas, called Baris, upon which it is reported that many who fled at the time of the Deluge were saved; and that one who was carried in an ark came on shore upon the top of it; and that the remains of the timber were a great while preserved” (Ant 1.3.6 §§ 95). Josephus, a Pharisee, elsewhere, had no problem with the fact that people other than Noah and his family survived the flood “which was the reason why there was no greater number preserved, since there was no place to fly to” (Ant 1.3.5 §§ 89). Pseudo-Eupolemus (prior to 1st century BC) goes even further: “Eupolemus, in his work ‘On the Jews,’ states that the Assyrian city of Babylon was first founded by those who escaped the Flood. They were giants, and they built the tower well known in history. When the tower was destroyed by God’s power, these giants were scattered over the whole earth” (Praeparatio Evangelica 9.17.2-3. He names a giant who escaped the flood as Belos (Praeparatio Evangelica 9.17.8-9; 9.18.2. Also 1Enoch has most of the giants being killed in internecine war prior to the flood. The giants also appear in Bashan with Og Num 21:33; 32:33 and Deut 1:4 which makes sense because Bashan is near Mt. Hermon where the Watchers descended (1En 6:6).

For who is this a salvation issue?

They didn’t. It appears that the same thing happened again after the flood with another group of disobedient angels. And who is to say it doesn’t happen now? All God’s creation is given free will.

Biblically, they didn't survive in any way, shape, or form: a survival of Nephilim contradicts the Bible five times. But centuries, if not millennia, after the Torah someone wrote some folklore about that demons are dead Nephilim, Heiser merely pick it up and ran with it, and now many, many Christians believe that folklore.

@@kciwner I appreciate the qualifying term, "It appears" since what you said isn't Biblical so, actually, it doesn't appear in the least bit since there's literally zero reliable indication that any such thing would or could have happened.

Jude and 2 Peter 2 who note that the sinful Angels were incarcerated and there's only a one-time fall of Angels in the Bible.

Good comment.

@@michelferreira9695 a big reason why folk today in the west, don't encounter demons, is because, they are already blinded to them, via, wrong theology. The demons are telling folk, "there is no such thing as real demons". They have a lot of Christians deceived.

@@Ciprian-IonutPanaityou are explaining the truth but with different words, I agree 100% but if you don’t mind, can I repeat the spirit of your thought, but using my descriptive words? Then reply to me and see if it’s close? First, the church translators used the word Hell for two different locations or realms. The fiery pit that Satan and his follows are cast is the Hell. The big one. No one has been sent to this one yet. There has been no judgment day yet. Satan and his followers are still free and not bound. All people, after they die, their spirits go to either of two separate realms. I call them spirit prison or spirit paradise. Depending on their acts on earth while alive. Here they are still aware, still conscious. Christ went and taught to theses spirits which is found in the Bible after he was crucified. After the judgment everyone will be resurrected from both. And receive their inheritance. The only spirits that go to the actual “big” Hell are satan and his followers and if any, someone who committed the unpardonable sin. But to do this this you have to have a complete knowledge of god, walked and talked with him, faith not required because he is known and then deny him. Only a small few on earth have been in the position to commit this sin, the same sin Satan and his followers committed. While these spirits await judgment day and the resurrection, they can still learn and except gospel covenants. This is where spirits who were born on earth in times before or were not given the opportunity to learn of the gospel, or of Jesus. They can except him here. Some people mistake the phrases “we are saved by Grace only”or “we are saved by faith”and “faith with or without works” are about entering heaven. I share my belief that solves the controversy. Everyone will be resurrected who received a body on earth. This is the reward for keeping their first estate, following Jesus instead of Satan. The followers of Satan lost their first estate, they did not receive bodies, they cannot be resurrected. The reward and inheritance for obedience is covered by Grace. All will return. Being saved by acts should be understood as “reward by faith and acts”. This is what judgment day is for, even though everyone is saved by Grace, there are additional rewards given to those who were obedient, so being “ saved” at this juncture is about the additional rewards. Anyways, there is a lot more to it but I wanted to just share my perspective. Have a good Sunday

@@Ciprian-IonutPanait I've no idea what that has to do with our discussion.

@@KenAmmi-Shalom If the spies were lying about the size of the people why didn't Caleb, Joshua and the bible say so?

@@claytonbigsby They weren't "lying about the size of the people" generically, they were lying about the size of Nephilim since it's literally impossible that they saw them. "why didn't Caleb, Joshua and the bible say so?" 1) no one else ever stated any such thing. 2) it wasn't a formal moderated debate for which we have a full transcript. 3) Nephilim are utterly lacking from any and all other texts: many people were told who lived in the land and around it but they're not mentioned, they're not mentioned in descriptions of wars or even hand-to-hand combat, etc. 4) the made five assertions for which there's not a single other verse in the entire Bible to support. 5) God rebuked them. 6) they contradicted Moses, Caleb, Joshua, God, and the rest of the whole Bible. 7) etc., etc., etc.: see my post, "Chapter sample: On the Post Flood Nephilim Proposal."

The book of Enoch is a madeup book by rabbis just a few hundred years before Jesus was born. Beware!

1 Enoch is Bible contradicting folklore from centuries, if not millennia, after the Torah, see my book, “In Consideration of the Book(s) of Enoch.”

@@KenAmmi-Shalom Have you read all of Enoch

@@Servant44 Well, I already told you that I wrote the book, "In Consideration of the Book(s) of Enoch.”

@@KenAmmi-Shalom 🙏 Book of Enoch 1:9 [9] And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones To execute judgement upon all, And to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him ‭‭Jude 1:14-15 KJV‬‬ [14] And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, [15] to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

Well, that's tricky since we don't have the inside scoop but perhaps they wanted to live on in the pigs, Jesus allowed them therein, but then, oopsy, a slight loophole that they didn't expect: instant "death"--like Jesus would have said, "Gotcha!" ;o)

Because they are not unlawful Therefore there is no merit to cast them to condemnation Man has forgot the Law But every other thing in creation Knows , understands and Abides by the LAW ! It is SIN, that ALLOWS the demons to take control

He wrote a book called "Angels" and one called "Demons". He also wrote some science fiction according to his Amazon author page.

Dr. Heiser was credentialed and experienced but not infallible, his Nephilology wasn’t biblical, and he tended to create more problems than he solved-see these articles for examples: Review of Amy Richter and Michael Heiser on four Enochian Watcher related women in Jesus’ genealogy Rebuttal to Dr. Michael Heiser’s “All I Want for Christmas is Another Flawed Nephilim Rebuttal”

@kenammi355 what about it wasn't biblical?

@@Jswell_ What did you think about the articles? He merely picked up folklore from centuries, if not millennia, after the Torah, ran with it, and applied it to demonology. For a biblical view, please see my article, “Demons Ex Machina: What are Demons?”

@kenammi355 there were no links to any articles so I didn't read them.

The key questions are: What’s the usage of the vague, generic, subjective, multi-usage and modern English word “giants” in English Bibles? What’s your usage of the vague, generic, subjective, multi-usage and modern English word “giants”? Do those two usages agree?

@@KenAmmi-Shalom You mean Nephilim?

@@claytonbigsby Fascinatingly, I’ve asked those key questions to dozens and dozens (and dozens [and dozens]) of people who go on and on (and on [and on]) about “giants” and literally zero have replied. You used the term "giants" so I'm asking you.

@@KenAmmi-Shalom Giants/Nephilim/human hybrids/Elohim : products of a rebellion

@@claytonbigsby Sorry, I don't understand: are you asking "All but 8 people died during the flood so where did the Giants/Nephilim/human hybrids/Elohim : products of a rebellion come from post flood?"

I love your passion! I agree that we can feel the spirit. I don’t want to to interfere with you light or cause you any distress. I am 100% supportive of you returning home. I only desire to share a few thoughts, you can dismiss or take in and add to your collection. If you believe in the Bible, and Trust it is the word and direction from God, we can consider that Jesus descended to heaven at one point. At some point in the future Jesus will return as the Bible described for the second coming. Jesus has returned for other purposes, but these were not announced clearly in the Bible so many people have missed it. This is his world and he can go and return as he pleases. My simple point is, he is a individual person, with flesh and bone. Part of Godhood is understanding and the ability to be connected to all things. Scientists call this entanglement in quantum mechanics. This is how God can be everywhere. So you are right, it’s not a matter of Jesus leaving or returning, he always knows what’s going on, even if he physically is not present at any given moment. Take care and ensure to the end my friend;)

Are you referring to their souls, as in where did their souls come from?

@@adrianmasters250 Yes, their spirit/soul.

@@d.porter3142 So the problem is that people can't reconcile the souls of the Nephilim coming from God? Never heard that point before, but if they're half-human that would imply they could still have a human soul.

@@adrianmasters250 The spirit children of God would not be sent to inhabit the bodies of corrupt abominations. So the question remains, where did the spirits of the Nephilim come from? We'll never have the answer of course, but it's interesting to consider.

​@@d.porter3142what inhabits these things are the unclean spirits and other higher ranking demonic entities. Remember these things needed physical bodies so when the watchers sinned with human women, they gave birth to physical vessels that would allow these entities to manifest physically. Jesus (spirit) through Mary became flesh/man to save us.

Not human since, for example, they witnessed the creation of the Earth, at the very least (Job 38). Angels are always described as looking like human males, we were created “a little lower” than them, and we can reproduce with them so, by definition, we’re of the same basic “kind.”

That sounds like a non sequitur based on a hidden assumption of an asserted positive affirmation.

Have you read the Bible? The whole thing is sex, fighting and magick. Btw I didn't get a correspondence school diploma and wtf would be wrong if I did you snob? Unless you are going to be a doctor or engineer self learning is way more effective but you wouldn't do anything unless a professor told you to.

1 Enoch is Bible contradicting folklore from centuries, if not millennia, after the Torah, see my book, “In Consideration of the Book(s) of Enoch.”

@@KenAmmi-Shalom you're giving me a headache dude.... let me guess... seminary school in the U.S.??

@@hpmetabolics7558Why are you replying like Atheists do: avoiding issues that they brought up by committing a generic fallacy?

Sadly Dr. Hieser is no longer with us.

There's no indication of the gap you're implying "between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2." As for, "don't see where their origen began in Genesis 6" well, those Angels were incarcerated bodily but their spirits roam the Earth as demons--please see my article, “Demons Ex Machina: What are Demons?”

God created us without sin but the first humans were tempted by the devil and fell. We may have been without sin but we also had free will and we misused it.

Search online for, "Critical Review of Fr. Stephen De Young’s 'Here There Be Giants.'” Dr. Heiser was credentialed and experienced but not infallible, his Nephilology wasn’t biblical, and he tended to create more problems than he solved-see these articles for examples: Review of Amy Richter and Michael Heiser on four Enochian Watcher related women in Jesus’ genealogy Rebuttal to Dr. Michael Heiser’s “All I Want for Christmas is Another Flawed Nephilim Rebuttal”

Seems to me that people confuse a word for its root. Thus, we are told that rapha are in the "underworld" of the dead but that has nothing to do with the 100% human Rephaim tribe. Also, some people appeal to what Pagans said about their version of Rephaim and actually incorporate that mythology into the Bible.
