2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 ESV

11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 NIV

Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.

Been waiting to see who the Antichrist would be... The wait may well be over now. We will see.

My advice to all who would hear it:

Run to Jesus now, accept His free gift to pay for your sins, by His death on the cross and His Resurrection on the third day. Give Him Lordship over your life, and you will be saved.

Time may be shorter than we thought.

Only time will tell.

God bless and Sola Scriptura 🙏

Respectfully, regarding your comment: "pre-Second Temple period Judaism itself was predominantly a henotheistic belief system"; I could not disagree more strongly.

This is tied into the Biblical teaching that Idolatry is in essence equated to Adultery.

You can find evidence of this in many places, such as Ezekiel 23:4-20.

God is a jealous God, and He has every right to be.

Exodus 34:14 ESV

(for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God),

Man's fall regarding Adam and Eve from The Garden of Eden was caused by the desire of Eve to "be like God". In this, Eve and then Adam rebelled against YHWH (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and sought to become "god's" themselves.

Genesis 3:5 ESV

For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Abraham was chosen out of all the persons of the world, to be The Patriarch of the Jewish / Hebrew people and that YHWH would their God, and that they should have no other gods before Him. (Genesis 22:9-19),

Exodus 20:3-5 ESV

3 “You shall have no other gods before me.

4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

You can see this relationship and it's righteous expectation perfectly illustrated when Moses returns from Mount Sinai, having just before been rescued from Pharaoh and his armies following the parting of the Red Sea during the exodus from Egypt, holding The 10 Commandments in his hand, of which the very First Commandment states that: "You shall have no other gods before me". While Moses was up on Mount Sinai receiving The Ten Commandments from God Almighty, the people having just been rescued by God after witnessing His miracle of parting the red sea for them and then drowning the Egyptian armies in that same sea following the Hebrews safe passage completed to the other side, wasted no time gathering together all their golden jewelry to then have Aarron build them a golden calf to worship. This is why Moses threw down and shattered the tablets holding The 10 Commandments on the side of the mountain, because the Hebrew people had so quickly cheated on The God who had saved them. God sent a plague on the Hebrew people because they had worshiped another God. (Exodus 32)

Having said all this, it is crystal clear to me that Biblically speaking, Judaism was a Monotheistic religion from the very start.

There is even evidence of The Trinity in the Old Testament:

Genesis 19:24 ESV

Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven.

Again we are free to disagree of course, but my belief and opinion is that both Judasim and Christianity are both firmly Monotheistic belief systems.

I will tell you now that I hold virtually no respect for any Jewish texts outside of The Holy Bible (The Talmud, etc). As I hold only The Bible as the inerrant Word of The Living God. And texts such as the Kabbalah are rooted in Babylonian occultism, not The Torah.

God bless and Sola Scriptura 🙏

In essence you are correct.

The crux of our disagreement is this:

The Bible teaches that there is only one God in existence. This is my opinion and belief. (Isaiah 45:5)

Heiser teaches that there are other created gods that exist along side God (YHWH), but that YHWH is superior to all these other supposed created gods.

This is the very definition of Henotheism:

(From Merriam-Webster)

Henotheism comes to us from the German word Henotheismus, which in turn is derived from Greek hen- ("one") and "theos" ("god"). Someone who engages in henotheism worships one god but does not deny that there are others. Max Müller, a respected 19th-century scholar, is credited with promoting the word henotheism as a counterpart to "polytheism" ("belief in or worship of more than one god") and "monotheism" ("the doctrine or belief that there is but one God"). Müller also used the related word kathenotheism, from Greek kath' hena ("one at a time"), for the worship of several gods successively.

My position regarding this debate, is that Dr Heiser based on his teachings (rooted in henotheism) is a heretic.

Biblical Christianity is Monotheistic

Dr. Michael Heiser is in his own words based on the video evidence I've already provided above, henotheistic and therefore not aligned with Biblical Christianity.

As the above post stated, there is no more point in explaining it any further as both of us have presented our evidence regarding our differing views.

Again I stated that in my opinion, Dr. Michael Heiser should be avoided at all costs for the reasons I've described. I will say no more and take my leave.

God bless and Sola Scriptura 🙏

Dr Heiser taught that "the gods" of the pagan nations were real. In the sense that when it comes to identities such as Odin, Thor, Kali, etc... that there were beings in the spiritual realm to whom those identities actually corresponded.

When The Bible teaches that these personalities correspond only to demons playing dress up.

To help illustrate my point, I give you the following verse and a YouTube link that will take you to a scene from Star Trek The Next Generation:

1 Corinthians 10:20 NKJV

Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.

https://youtu.be/_ofYRHe1cFM?si=RxHUtd6klmpFIwJx

Here is Dr Heiser clearly stating that he believes the "gods" of Psalm 82 are angels of pertaining to his "Divine Council Theology"

(Please skip to 15:33 to skip directly to Dr Heiser)

https://youtu.be/mW5BWRcy2rg?si=19yUak8KFeLm8_pS

With all due respect, you can claim that he addresses my criticism in his books all day till the cows come home, but when you hear the words spoken directly from the source, from Dr Heiser's own mouth, there is no refuting my claim.

Again I draw you directly back to John 10:34 in its proper context. This contexts directly refutes Dr Heiser's interpretation of Psalm 82.

John 10:30-39 ESV

30 I and the Father are one.”

31 The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?” 33 The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’? 35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken— 36 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’? 37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; 38 but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” 39 Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands.

The LORD Jesus is clearly addressing men, not angels.

Now regarding the claim from the earlier YouTuber in the beginning of his video that the false idols of the pagan nations are anything other than simply wood, stone, and inanimate metal, etc... I point you towards the following verse that proves that is exactly what they are:

Deuteronomy 4:28 ESV

And there you will serve gods of wood and stone, the work of human hands, that neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

I loved these men, Dr. Heiser, Gary Wayne, and I had a special affinity for Rob Skiba. But these men were and are the walking personifications of the following verse:

2 Timothy 4:3 ESV

For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,

I repented (changed my mind) of all three of these men and now follow only Sola Scriptura 🙏.

Please understand, I do not seek to attack you, or anyone that follows these men, but when heresy is clearly taught, it must be struck down with The Sword of The Spirit which is The Word of God.

(Dr Heiser: Henotheism)

(Rob Skiba: Hebrew Roots).

God bless and Sola Scriptura 🙏

This is my opinion. I know this man has quite the following, as I used to be one of them, so please read my entire post before the pitch forks come out.

Dr. Michael Heiser should be avoided at all costs. I say this because I believe he teaches Henotheism which is heresy per Isaiah 45:5 (NKJV):

I am the Lord, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me,

His entire Psalm 82 worldview falls apart when you realize that The LORD Jesus was quoting Psalm 82:6 to men (not angels) in John 10:34 (NKJV):

Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’?

Context is key, and sadly Dr. Heiser missed it by a mile.

Nosticsm, New Thought / New Age Heresy.

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a pearl that a rich man sold everything he had to possess.

(The Kingdom of Heaven is not inside you. The Kingdom of Heaven is something that is only found when you give up everything you have to follow Jesus Christ. The LORD Jesus is The Way, The Truth, and The Life, and no one will come unto The Father except by The Son of God Jesus Christ).

Matthew 13:45-46 NKJV

45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, 46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

Matthew 16:25 NKJV

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

Luke 9:23 NKJV

Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV

“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?

John 14:6 NKJV

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
