Sorry Comanche fighter, but that is incorrect born again believers, with the Holy Spirit are told by Jesus that we shall cast out demons, must repent of any know sin. No praying to Mary , burning candles to the dead to get people out of purgatory, there is no purgatory, salvation is in Jesus Christ alone. Read the book of John and Romans, to ensure you are born again , not by any works of yours. Sincerely In Christ.
@@labgirl3501 Indeed....Father Chad Ripperger, even though I don't agree with all of this theology, blew my mind with his knowledge of the demonic. Warning: this is not for the faint of heart... also, you won't be able to forget many of the specifics of what he says so be forewarned. Here is his website. sensustraditionis.org/release/spiritual-warfare/
Growing up, I always had a hard time believing the Bible and struggled with my faith all my life. If I was taught the Bible like Dr Heiser teaches it I wouldn't have struggled! Thank you for your work!
Michelle, I completely agree. See my comment above, but to add to yours, the church I was raised in, we were taught that any other religion was not apart of the true church(that we were apart of) and therefore no one from those churches would be saved. Very narrow minded for sure, but now that I am an adult, I feel that I owe it to myself to re-write my faith and seek out the truth. I encourage everyone to do the same- ask questions, search for answers until you are satisfied. Also, don't just accept one answer, find supporting evidence. One thing I always had trouble with was the concept of "faith". I was told faith is believing in something unseen, which isn't to say I don't believe in God or a god, I have an easier time believing in something that is mroe tangible or at least has enough proof to support it.
It's crazy, I grew up believing that the world/universe was/is like this and had a hard time believing in the traditions taught in most churches. It was when I started to adopt those traditions that my struggles began. Faith like a child is what it truly takes to see the kingdom of heaven. Thank you for your share
@ChiGirly1123 if you're truly saved... Your statement is not fair. Maybe you live a cushy life in which you float on clouds and gum drops. I hope your faith is never challenged, because you may not come out where you think on the other side. If one doesn't struggle with faith and understanding I don't think you're doing it right.
@ChiGirly1123 that’s funny, I’m exactly the opposite. I don’t doubt my salvation at all but I doubt many things written. There are huge stumbling block that take time for me to process and pray about.
RIP Dr.Michael Heiser. I’ve learned so much from him! I actually sit up in bed and take hours of notes. He has brought so many souls to Jesus Christ. God Bless his family. Please keep them safe. Please give them peace
Indian spirituality has really been on my mind since I found Dr Heiser last august. I went to India 26 years ago as a teenager, and the second week I couldn’t stop crying. The experience affected me spiritually. It just “felt”…bad. Sad. In spiritual darkness. Three years later I visited a Hindu temple here in Virginia, just because I was feeling nostalgic for my trip. Inside it was lined with idols on three walls, the fourth wall being where the door was. I can’t explain the experience Anything other than “Heavy.” I felt the utter presence of evil, and I needed to escape. Not just leave, but flee. The evil was absolutely palpable.
Same here in Indian homes. I don't feel weird because I know I am protected in Christ, but the anxiety of their residents is both subtle and off the charts. The last one I was in, there was a holiday where they put inscriptions on both sides of every door of their house to ward off evil spirits. The man of the house talked with me one-on-one and asked me, as a Christian, how I handle evil spirits. He seemed very worried that his holiday ritual wouldn't work. I told him the truth, that I just cast them out in Jesus' name and go back to sleep ❤ I prayed for him to be called strongly by God, and I thank God for calling him.
I am from Kerala, India and I am a committed Christian. I am living in an area where the darkness and influence of the Hindu faith is the strongest. I get demonic attacks very often and from all sides. But I know my heavenly father who chose me while I was in my mother's womb, who I was worshipping from my childhood is there looking after me. I always look upto Him for help. The sad thing is the Christians here are spiritually weak and do not fight the good fight. Thank God, I could encourage many to be on God's side and grow in His grace.
@@KM-leons Let God fight for you! Put on His armor and stand. When you are attacked spiritually, just call on Him or cast them out in His authority which He gives you. The attacks will happen, but even when demons manifest so that you can see them, do not be afraid. The same God who made them, made you in His image, made you as His ambassador, and chose you as His own.
This was one of the first videos I ever watched of Dr Heiser, and now I’m coming back rewatching after his passing. We will miss his teachings greatly, but I’m content knowing he is in far better presence ❤❤
@@NotevenoneSame here..I grieved when he passed because I just felt like he was part of the family after listening and reading everything he has done. My mom passed away a few weeks after he did with the same thing, Pancreatic Cancer so my heart was even more broken and grieving. Mom dies March 21, 2023, she was 84. Dad, who was 92, does one day after mom on March 23, 2023. He had fallen and had Covid, I had Covid too. My brother an I are all that is left and after caregiving full time for my parents since December 2013 and working full time from home as a programmer I have to say I feel so lost and lonely. My brother feels a bit lot too because we both lived at home to care for mom and dad. My brother helped on his days off to give me a break but I loved mom and dad so much they were such a joy to care for. I think a lot about the pain they both were in, dad had late stage Alzheimer's, Covid and feel and mom may have had Covid as well but her yest came back negative. What mom did have was Pancreatic Cancer that they caught one week before she died. They are with our Lord Jesus Christ in heaven now with new bodies and no pain or sadness. My head knows that we will all be together again but my heart hurts deeply because I miss them. I take comfort in listening to all of Dr. Heiser videos as his voice is comforting and the topics are never boring.
Suddenly, it’s as if someone put your glasses on your nose and instead of “feeling like something is there” and... KNOWING. As a lifelong student of the Bible and Christianity- I am amazed and thrilled. There’s nothing like meeting someone who knows your very best friend- better than you! Great interview and thank you team Remnant Radio!
I’m now in my early 70’s & have been a Christian with 40+ yrs of apologetic study as a hobby… I “met” Dr. Heiser just over a year ago and began to devour his material… He has exploded my understanding of scripture without undermining the basic tenets of my faith… He is one of the greatest gifts I have ever been given by the Lord😊🙏😊
I'm binging Dr Heiser currently, can not get enough because these teachings are literally an answer to prayer! I've struggled my entire life with having gifts no one can explain etc, so putting things in perspective in the biblical context along with the book of Enoch as an appendix of sorts. Just finally finding some meat to chew on is ridiculously satisfying! Thank you 🙏💗
Same here, always knew something was missing, the puzzle pieces were missing. Dr. Heiser has put it all together for me. The Bible finally makes sense to me. I get it now. Praise God! Thank you Michael S. Heiser!
Missler saved me. Loved that guy. He stood almost alone. His great pals, Hal Lindsey and Chuck Smith fully pushed and encouraged him onward at the beginning. I used to attend his Bible studies at Hal’s church during the early ‘90s. So brilliant.
Respect for Michael Heiser. I find it very appealing to listen to a smart guy that doesn't barade or talk down to other historical Smart Guys simply because they look at things differently. I really like the fact that dr. Heiser mentions that these other fellows did not have the Dead Sea Scrolls. I like the fact that he mentioned Calvin and Augustine in a good light and didn't criticize their work. Humility is so important in Christianity and Dr Heiser seems to have that.
I have been a follower of his work for a long time now and he is always gracious & humble in his critiques of other theologians. He always puts the analysis in the historical context which most of the time others will not do, then they have their self righteous rant about how the ones they are critiquing are heretics etc. Dr Heiser is a good example for all of us and his work has helped to answer many questions I had about scripture.
What a blessing…makes me wanna cry, knowing this world is a bit darker with the loss of this awesome Christian man, scholar and great, inspiring teacher. I hope to meet him in person in paradise one day, soon. God bless. 😌🌹🙏🏽
I want to be that type of scholar: a scholar who serves my church congregation by bringing the real truth of the Bible contents in biblical context. I am just finishing my first unit in a bachelor of ministry after God told me to formally study theology to become a bible teacher. I don't remember how or why I stumbled onto "Unseen Realm" & Michael Heiser, but I am so glad and excited that I did!! I have always had an inquisitive mind and questioned the "weird" parts of the Bible but never known how to pursue answers and understanding. Thanks go to Michael Heiser for making it easier for people like me ❤
3 years late on commenting, but about 5 or so years ago, I had a dream that I was sitting in a Roman amphitheater upon the clouds. I was looking around and saw pagan gods that I recognized as Zeus, Poseidon, Odin, Thor, etc. they were all being noisy and rambunctious, and suddenly I heard a big booming voice call for silence. I looked behind me to the top of the tiered seats and sitting in the center was God. It was in that moment that I knew in my head and heart that YHWH is the ultimate power. Even if there are other spiritual beings proclaiming godhood, he is more powerful.
I just love Dr. Heiser so much. I have listened to hundreds and hundreds of hours of his lectures, 4 hours today alone. I wish I could sit down with him and ask him a thousand questions! Thank you for having him on for this topic and many others. God bless ya!

Suggest you read Enoch and other biblical literature yourself. He gets quite a few subtle but important facts wrong. For example the flood didn't kill the Nephilim. They killed and wiped each other out. Gods punishment for the watchers was to watch their offspring destroyed over 500year period. This 500 year period ends well before the flood. The watchers and 90% of the demonic spirits are then bound for 70x70years. The flood wipes out only man and flesh that kept on being evil. Don't get all wet because of academic polish. Do your own study and prayer. Read the prime source material. This guy is ultimately miss leading on some key warfare points.
Hey there Warren! Yes, I’m an OG Byter. I started watching on the day she posted her first Q video back in October 2017. I have some different feelings and opinions about Q and Trump now, but I just love Miss Mishel so much, I’ll support her until the end. 🤗
I love, love, love this episode w/Dr. Heiser. I’ve watched it 3 times and have learned more with each time😍. All the glory to our beautiful precious savior Jesus. Thankyou guys for having Dr. Heiser on❤️
As someone who has struggled to comprehend the reasons/causes/origins of human depravity...I am eternally grateful for Dr. Michael Heiser...his deep research and dot connecting...have helped me tremendously. I still struggle ...but much less so.
This guy is so smart and he knows his subject. It's refreshing to see someone who knows the truth about these very important entities and the knowledge they spred to humanity. Amazing. It's refreshing to hear someone expand and teach on this subject. Most Christians don't know this information.
What a great man and legacy. He was a genius scholar linguist literature expert and intellectual with a great big heart and beautiful soul. He devoted his life to knowledge and breaking it down to average person with the desire to know the truth. I cried when I heard he had cancer. He’s one of my very best teachers of knowledge. Thus podcast is so amazing and understandable. So thankful for his teachings.
I am so thankful that we are able to benefit by all the tedious and difficult study and research done by Dr. Michael Heiser, and I am also thankful that he presents it at a level his audience can easily comprehend and share. He has a humble warmth about him and a strong faith in our Savior.
I have always thought this to be true but never have I ever heard a theologian come through with that explanation! I DON'T feel insane! I love how God is working and revealing these topics especially at this time. There is a reason for the timing...How the gods are explained and how they are returning in spirit now. LET'S GO!!!
My gosh this is fascinating! I have only recently begun to examine this field in theology (I am a Christ-follower since 1983, and am now teaching theology) and am blown away at the scholarship that I never knew. Tim Mackie, with The Bible Project, has also recently “opened my eyes” to this “realm of study”. Thank you for posting this video
You guys AND DR. HEISER, are just superb!! I learn SO MUCH . . . & I love to hear you all laughing. Such enjoyment! Thank you gentlemen for your patient demeanor on the show, in meeting serious questions ppl have. AND helping me fill in the gaps that I never knew I had. Thereby, God just gets more intriguing all the time!
R.I.P Dr. Heiser...😢 Just like he stated earlier in this video, reading his book, Unseen Realm, absolutely changed the way I read the Bible. Imo, I think absolutely most every Christian would benefit from reading his book before reading the Bible. Merely from a perspective angle... regardless R.I.P Michael. We know you are in a much better place, and for that, I am grateful and thankful. 🙏🏻
Making the Bible a little less spiritual is so dangerous because Paul said our true fight is with the spiritual realm. The more we know about it the more we can be prepared to fight our enemy. I think this is an excellent trick from Satan. Thank you for doing this interview
I went to India on missions for 3 mo. It was amazing. Been a long time. But love this program when I went. Amazing exp. Got challenged in dream by satan.
In my searching before Dr. Heiser‘s work, only Derek Prince discussed the territorial aspects. It’s scholarship for 21st century Christianity. Praise God that he kept him here long enough for the world events to force Christians to deal with evil incarnate worldwide.
I like Derek Prince. So did he claim that God assigned them to those territories like Heiser? Or that the fallen angels (who rebelled with Lucifer) presented themselves as gods to the different nations?
A You Tube " drive -by" actually panned out in my search for REAL deal , living and breathing brother's IN Christ! Awesome show! Be encouraged! No fear! Last week after ministering to a homeless kid and praying for him etc. the next 2 days I encountered demonic backlash. Two demonic entities came to me after praying ( in a dream) and 1 of them was in bed with me saying and chanting; " I'm going to kill you." I woke up a bit freaked out but I gathered myself and rebuked those things in Jesus' Name and I said; " I will live and NOT die and declare the works of the Lord!" Be strong guys!
Having been with Lester Sumral years ago, demonology was so explained and then I ministered in deliverance for quite awhile and GOD HAS TAUGHT ME SO MUCH..~~~
You know what? I've struggled with Dr. Heiser's take on this. I'm not usually one to take Apocryphal and Deuterocanonical books as reliable, but as mostly made up of "Jewish myths". But now, after sitting through hours of videos like this by him I'm not so sure. I'm now open to it.
He's clear in stating these writings are not Cannon. But they are nonetheless what the Jews read in their time. These books inform us how they thought in the time the Bible was written. A great example is his video on why women wore a head covering. You'll find it on yt. Watch it, and you'll see what I mean.
This is so important because people are reading the epic of Gilgamesh and the Greek gods history and want to know why Christians don't know about it or how to respond to it. I have a family member that follows the Greek gods and even has dreams she thinks are from them. I couldn't reconcile my own studies of Greek and Roman history and that they had the understanding of the places called Tartarus and Hades. There is also a modern person that took Homer's Iliad so seriously in its description of Troy that he went digging and discovered Troy. Heinrich Schlieman is his name.I used to think because I was taught it in school that the Greek and Roman myths were just exactly that myths... because it was pounded in your head in school. I now understand the whole culture was the offspring of the Nephilim and the clash of the Titans was a real battle. This is amazing. Just read the fragments of the book of Giants remnants that were found. Gilgamesh is mentioned in those! This guy knows his stuff.
Actually, when Yahweh brought the plagues over Egypt, He stated that the plagues were a judgement over the people and the gods of Egypt. The Most High was showing that these gods whoever they were, were under judgement for their unrighteousness. It is clear now that these gods were angelic or spiritual beings that were given authority over people and ended up leading them astray 😮
Always great to hear Michael. I do miss him so. May he be having a great time with the Lord, he earned it. Thanks for doing this show. Lot of common experiences and reasoning with you guys.
At minute 35 Dr. Heiser is exactly correct, his interpretation "Works" there and everywhere else, the son's of Seth interpretation simply does NOT work. It answers a plethora of questions that otherwise leave believers in a confused and bewildered state.
Guys, I just found your channel... this episode was POWERFUL... especially the part where you all were discussing deliverance ministry... there were two specific things that really stood out to me, when Dr Heiser said there are things that people believe about God, Jesus and themselves that enslave them... WOW... the Holy Spirit has been dealing with me on this and that confirms what the Spirit has been speaking to my heart... also, he said something to the effect of 'it's not about screaming at demons but speaking Truth to lies'... WOW AGAIN... at first that may not seem very profound but it is hugely profound and powerful... Great episode!!!
I’ve read both “Unseen Realm” and “Angels” cover to cover and need to read them again more carefully and thoughtfully. Looking forward to “Demons” and to Dr. Heiser’s new school. Great interview!
In my opinion, Dr. Mike has done a truly exemplary job on re-exposing spiritual hierarchy and helping Christians know who the myriad enemies are in "the unseen realm". I will also miss him and his family at Grace Church in Bellingham, Washington.
I've cast out demons before. The girl later said that she was just acting, but it was something weird. More recently, a young man was outside a grocery store, and l was waiting for my shuttle. He looks over and starts saying, " You're a f*g", over and over and worse. After less than a minute I looked at him and said, "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus." and he shut right up and left. That's the 2nd time demons have called out my sexual orientation and been rebuked in Jesus' name. 🙌
After UNDENIABLE encounters with demonic spirits in our house, which terrified every single animal I LOVED, I was able to recognize my need for redemption. I’m a SLOW learner!!! I could have progressed far better had this information been available.
Yeah if your in mainline Christianity. Keep searching for WHO God is. No way 30 min every Sunday can do it. It takes time to read and reread the Bible. But go for it. You won’t be sorry. Best book ever! There are so many great teachers on line to answer questions. I bet main line pastors will remain politically correct when answering most of your questions.
Next time you read your Bible will be like the first time after reading his books and getting his information is so true. It brings to life all the stories i And nuances that are in the bible
Very informative. I’ve had this book on preorder for months. I agree with Dr. Heiser how most Christians don’t ask the questions about certain passages like Genesis 6, Prince of Persia, 1 Kings 22 passage, etc. They give me blank stares or act like these are things we shouldn’t talk about. Finally, there is a scholar who can link things together in the Bible.
@David Richard... the issue is sin. Towards the end of his life he (Martin Luther) changed his opinion of them jews and I believe his reasoning against them is because of their rejection of Christ, but the truth is, we are all sinful and full of rebellion. regardless of Martin Luther's shortcomings and opinions of the jews in earlier life, God used him mightily anyway. That's usually how it goes and such is the characteristic of God. 😉 God Bless you. Keep testing and use the Holy Spirit and scriptures as your guide. You won't find one "perfect" Human...not even scholars. ✝️
Truly fascinating. The idea that demons are disembodied Nephilim is one I had always dismissed. Looks like I may well be wrong. Explains why so much demonic activity and paranormal/mythological activity is so chaotic and unorganized. I think this ties in with explicit demonic phenomena, and such things as faeries, which the church in the middle ages regarded as a form of demon.
Agreed. And we also need to know that the Spirit teaches us (IC2.13), as we pray for a "spirit of wisdom...." E1.17. Wisdom (sophia) is also different from mindedness (phronimos). Wisdom sees ahead concerning courses of events and how they will unfold. Not perceiving the transgression and mixing outlined in Enoch, hides what Jesus meant by "as in the days of Noah so shall it be....". The reference Jesus makes to marriage and given in marriage is speaking of the union of fallen angels with women. This obviously repeats in the last days which wisdom reveals and God prepares those who can perceive such mysteries.
@@nappa3550 My current bet is that we will unite under the banner of the Catholic or Orthodox Church. Probably not under a Protestant church, but who knows. "When the son of man returns will he find faith?"
If someone doesn't want to read their Bible the same, then follow Chuck Missler. Best man ever to learn about God & the connectivity of the unseen realms.
Once you graspe this truth and are obedient to the rest of scripture you then become a well rounded Christian equipped to put a beating on Satan and his kingdom. All while setting the captives free, empowering them to stay free, man this really pumps me up. Thank you JESUS and brothers..
Dr. Heiser, you have another fan. I am a MA degreed theologian who moved from the US to Australia, doing theology the same way - chewing up the scholarly articles and theologies and feeding them to laypeople who are not afraid to have their existing understanding challenged. I also do not have a content problem... it is such a time constraint problem. I will absolutely be reading your book in the (expectant) hope that my students can read it and learn from it and save me the time of reinventing the wheel! Thank you so much, and thanks to Remnant Radio for exposing me to another like-minded scholar.
SHARE WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!!This is absolutely hands-down one of the best videos I’ve watched explaining reality. The Bible tells us sooooo. THANK YOU! All God wants is his children. He adores and loves you very much. God is NOT a meek God. REPENT! Accept the lord Jesus Christ in your heart. Ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins. You will notice how things you use to love that were sinful start to dissipate he won’t be interested in things used to watch or listen to that were disgusting. Trust me on this.
Jesus is God the Son, and He does have all authority, but that doesn’t mean that the authority of angels who did not fall had their authority taken away from them. I believe that there will be many different levels of authority given by the Lord.
“Well done good and faithful servant, take control of 5 cities....well done good and faithful servant take control of 10 cities” Luke 19:17 (Matthew 25:14 is the parallel verse but lacks the cities part) Both servants did well but they were given authority based on how well. It really kills this whole works verse faith argument that is most likely false and non-biblical and a misrepresentation of Paul, we will 100% be judged by our works but it will also be a gracious judgment with Jesus blood to cover us in instances. (Paul, as is a more popular scholarly view now, Who is more likely speaking out against the “works of the law” the outward laws contained in Moses (circumcision, wearing tassels, not wearing a shirt of two fabrics, ceremonial washings, sacrifices, kosher laws, Sabbaths, holy days, new moons etc etc etc), he was in no way saying that actually works don’t affect your judgment)
@@youngknowledgeseeker... I believe after The Holy Spirit 'quickens' within, what one does following, by direction of The Holy Spirit, is "The Works" One does with the 'gifts' one was given. It's all through The Gospel, as well as Paul's, Lukes, Timothy, James....etc. The 'gifts' according to what gifts, one was given . Written in The Gospels, Ephesians, 'The Hiding of The lamp under a table', etc...ex: 'The Parable of the Tares.' There are other examples, but I think many will 'get it now'. Those gifts are given to those whom GOD chooses, and I have to say... most "Christians", and Pastor's want to ridicule, and I am frustrated that, those who should recognize what Scripture was clear about, reject these gifts, like Jesus was rejected by His Own. "They received Him not". There are things in Scripture, that I 'know' would be ignored, due to pride, or 'whatever else, might be leading them', and sometimes I think that, "Those not having the eyes to see, or the ears to hear", is the reason Jesus spoke in Parable's, and then clear, when speaking to His Disciples. He is sifting the wheat. The jumping back and forth between different, but not unrecognizable Planes, galaxies, or wherever, had not been seen by the Counsel, and maybe they are now, but have been hiding it. This may be why The Catholic Church tried to Keep their members from reading the Bible for so long, and some entrenched with dogma. All I know is, since my NDE's, I have had things pop into my mind, that have been completely gone past the minds of many, and many won't hear me, but spend their live's taking in the 'Eucharist' thinking that it is about them committing sins, when Jesuss said to do this in Remberence of Him. It is not about the Congregation. And calling a Priests 'father' is another thing. I would have loved to speak with either of these Gentlemen. 💜
Yes, but we are to occupy until He comes. He spoiled principalities and stripped their authority and gave that authority to us in His name. It’s our job to stand in that authority and shake the regions of the kingdom of darkness.
This is phenomenal, thank you for sharing with Dr Heiser, thoroughly enjoyed and learned a lot from all your podcasts with him! Reading Unseen Realms now!
