This guy is more interesting than 99% of christians Ive ever heard.

Dr. Heiser is a HUGE loss to the Biblical Scholar world. I'm so pleased he made an appearance on here.

A true scholar, unlike many of your guests.

Dr. Heiser was the first interview I searched for on this channel. Sadly I didn't find it till after his passing. Sad loss for all those searching for deeper meaning & understanding of ancient texts, especially from the middle East. Thx kindly for posting this.

Glad you finally interviewed someone who would most likely be considered a Conservative. Hope you continue to add a balance to your shows.

I love Michael Heiser. He opened my eyes to my Bible.

I do appreciate Dr Heisers views. Whether I believe it or not isn't the point. It's how the writers thought and how it would have been understood that is most important.

You will be missed, Michael.

Excellent. Heiser, is brilliant and brutally honest.

This guy is a true scholar! There is much to be learned if we will put away our confirmation bias, and seek to understand. Maybe it's time for another look.

Dr Heiser was an absolute definitive genius! He is missed!

He was my first introduction to the history of Biblical times. I found MythVision recently and so happy to listen to this

R.I.P. ... Dr Heiser.😥😢😓😞

This is great, shows true balance to your approach. Hope he is a recurring guest.

That was FASCINATING!! Please bring Dr. Heiser once more

If mythvision keeps having different points of view (Goodacre and Heiser) I might become a patreon suppoerter

I can’t believe Derek hasn’t read The Unseen Realm by Heiser

Everybody gangsta till Mythvision brings a Liberty University professor!

Superb way to end this interview, Derek. Love the reading, love the music. Awesome job!

Excellent Interview. Dr Heiser discusses the other gods in context with GOD the GOD of all gods. Derek Lambert did an excellent job. Very respectful and very intellectual in this interview. Getting past the man made legalistic doctrines of bondage coming out of the modern church. Dr Heiser is very honest and forthright. I highly recommend this interview to all Christians and nonbelievers alike. Again Outstanding interview.

Dr. Michael Heiser is not where I’m at currently, and probably not where most of your listeners are Derek Lambert, but he does in fact represent a major evolution in the current growth of Evangelicalism. He is teaching stuff that I was being labeled as a heretic two decades ago when I was studying at Philadelphia Biblical University (i.e. Cairn University), and he has made these ideas acceptable for many, including some of my former professors such as Dr. Brian Toews and Dr. William Krewson. It is true that he has a Fundamentalist bias in regard to the biblical text, acknowledging lesser but not greater textual criticism, and that he often distorts the extra-biblical sources such as the Ugaritic texts of the Baal Cycle, et cetera, to fit into his own rigid reconstruction of the Divine Council doctrine, attempting to dismiss any actual notion of divine pluralism, but he is a true scholar, and he makes some good points in this podcast (when you press him and divert him from his normal talking points - that are becoming rather redundant now), and text critical scholars such as myself may need to re-examine some of our own biases in regard to, for example, his point about multiple text reconstructions in Palestine, Babylon, and Egypt during the era of the LXX: Septuagint, versus the later recension of the Masoretic Text?

I'm glad I just found this channel. I believe the Dr. But respect everyone's opinion. I was shocked to see you here cuz I seen you on another channel. I don't want to put you on blast cuz idk if you want that info out here but your other channel help me thru my..... how can I say this. I'll just say I know Nicole from RTR. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your help through my situation. I made it to the other side. Thx to you n your channel. Love n light. 🔥🔥🔥

I recently started watching Dr. Heiser! I really like how he goes into the ancient Near Eastern context. You have very interesting content!

Great show again Derek.

You did a great job interviewing him 👍 Subbed looking forward to more of your vids

A Excellent Video.. Highly Recommended.. Thank You Very Much For Sharing.. I Am Hoping He Will Return Again Soon..

I loved this interview, could be an interesting book to read, along with his others. First I have to finish all the others you have showcased!

Excellent ❤ so sad many won’t except truth by using critical thinking skills. I want out of the matrix and want ascend into the true source. RIP now Robert well done you had and did your calling with excellence!

I was wondering what if the dead sea scrolls were hidden so those stories and religion would not get through?

Awesome show

When i heard that Mike Heiser was dying of cancer i had already fully deconverted from Christianity, and i prayed that Jesus would heal him even though i had given up on Jesus, perhaps on the outside chance that his Faith would actually heal him. There have been cases of such things, miraculous healings. The mind is a very poweful thing. It is a very major loss to humanity and biblical scholarship that Dr. Heiser left this realm and my sincere hope is that he found the paradise that he so rightly deserves. Rest in Peace Dr. Heiser, you've earned your crowns ❤

who would chip in some money to sponsor Ehrman Heiser debate?

The sheep was a diety of the Egyptians. The Hebrews slaughtered their deity. They had statues of sheep. They still do to this day. The passover lamb had nothing to do with sin.

Soooo miss Michael!

The NIV made the same Choice to not translated correctly but to stick with what people were used to. I noticed this in 1988 when I first read Genesis. There's no God maintaining the Integrity of this so-called word.

I really enjoy your channel and I appreciate that you’re encouraging your audience to not just stay in an echo chamber, and actually look at what the other side has to say, One thing I do dislike about your channel, has to be your audience, how are their comments are pretty pathetic and brain dead, Henze straight up close minded and intellectually dishonest they are, which goes against what you say the goal of your channel is so it’s unfortunate. And I do find some of your video titles and some of your videos are pretty disingenuous like what apologists aren’t telling you, for Christian apologetics this or apologetics this or whatever, it’s just poisoning the world and it contradicts the point of what you say your channel is for, also you have people like Kipp, Carrier, and Bennett people who have a blatant anti-religious bias and obviously are not interested in actually stopping any division whatsoever.

I can’t suspend reality enough to be able to receive what this guest is saying. It sounds too much like Lord of the Rings, which I enjoyed reading 50+ years ago but, now I have lived too much real life to enjoy fantasy. One of my major problems with religion - too much fantasy.

I was in a spiritual ecstasy and prayed to Jehovah God for a sign, and I was awakened by a very strong voice, like thunder, and my whole body began to shake (as if it was on electricity) and the voice said, "Indeed.." Then I thought it was a strong voice from God, but it must have been some other being. I also have many other spiritual experiences. The spiritual world is very real and lively..

hope someone finds this useful... How to know when you or others around you have unclean spirits (whisperers) Romans 1:29. Along with how to remove them. There are 5 distinctive signs to watch out for in order:- 1. No love for ALL people. (EVERYONE) (1 John 4:20) (1 John 2:10-11) (John 15:12). 2. Not following the 10 Commandments (Law) or equally get very frustrated along with showing contempt or a disdain, when advised that they have to follow them. They also feel led to attack another body (person) rather than destroy an argument with Logic and Love. (John 15:10) (Matthew 6:24) (1 John 2:4) (Matthew 5:19) (matthew 5:17) (2 Peter 3:14-17) (matthew 5:18) (Acts 24:13) (Luke 16:17) (1 Timothy 1:8) (Romans 13:1)((Romans 7:12) (Romans 7:7) (1 John 3:4)(Isaiah 33:22) (James 2:10). 3. Their vocabulary consists of the following 8 words that allow them to endlessly continue to drive you like a parasite does, by making false promises of change along with irrational arguing, debating in circles using said words. (matthew 5:37) think of it like an 8 on its side ∞ (infinity) endless loop. 4. Self harm, addictions to porn, drugs and or alcohol, Suicide, depression. gender disorders. 5.Oppression or domination. Satan restrains and keeps people in bondage. God never restrains he sets us free with free will. Their vocabulary consists the following words:- If = presupposes you may or may not. But = negates anything said in front of it and is reserved for goats and sitting on. Maybe = presupposes you may not. Would = infers guilt Should = infers guilt Could = attempt to take kudos for an imaginary story explained as the best way. Don't = encourages your listener to focus on the opposite thing to what you’d like them to do or think of. Try = isn’t doing anything, and your whisperers take it to be a green light to fail. They speak in YOUR VOICE (as a thought) It is like a constant tickle when they want something, they get louder and more persistant. They love nothing more than debate (hence the words given), or saying contempteous or hurtful comments. They argue very similarly to that of a small child. They have no body (disembodied spirit) so they drive the body the same way a parasite does without the car knowing to its heading towards destruction. There is normaly multiples of them ("rebellion""pride" "anger" "hate" "lust") They have done this for 1000s of years and know every tell and every weakness that people have, they've seen it all. How they get in is due to sin (Commonly "Pride" then "rebellion" of your parents) there is only one way to get them out, and one million ways to let them in. remove ALL sinful objects from your home (occult, porn, drugs,and such) fast for 3 days without sinning, on third evening, run a bath and ask the "Dear father Yahuah who is in heaven, please bless this water by the power of your amazing son Yahusha (Jesus), may it clense me, and deliver me from all unclean spirits and fill me with your holy spirit by his power. amen. splash water over head 3x, father, son, holy spirit, lay in bath 15-20 mins come out a new and filled with his holy spirit. It is then imperative that you then follow the law (10 commandments) Implicitly to avoid letting them back in, no different than cutting out food from a diet that was poisoning your life. when you wish for your pain to stop, READ AGAIN. I am not sure of the correlation yet i see and feel one, that being Jonas was in a whale for 3 days, Yahusha (Jesus) was in the tomb 3 days.so three days until renewed. The number three biblically represents divine wholeness, completeness and perfection. The number three was used to put a divine stamp of completion or fulfilment on the subject.(Corinthians 5:17)(Matthew 12:40) (Luke 24:46-47)(Corinthians 15:4)

I'm another skeptic that appreciated Dr. Heiser's ideas and stance. He is very much missed.

Heiser is awesome! Have you read Unseen Realm yet? I hope you’ll do a video discussing that book whether with another scholar or just yourself. Thanks!

I think Dr Heiser brought some interesting points of view to the table and may have opened a lot of people's eyes.... However, (this is for my fellow Christians) it's important that you do this research yourself follow no man. If it's there, you'll find it as well. May YHWH bless you!

So much of the old testament is similar to the Greek pantheon.

So I am confused. Is Yahweh supposed to be high God or just the God allotted to Israel or Jacob? And if he's just the God allotted to Israel did he become the God most high or did people worship both Yahweh and the high God?

Do this again

I respectfully disagree. I believe Enoch wrote Enoch. Why wouldn’t anyone believe that? Jubilees supports that too

This comment may be a bit off topic but at the 17:44 time mark of this interview a strange sound is heard is it a case of borborygmii? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Also, so sad to hear of Dr. Heiser's passing.) Maranatha

What about the annunaki and the other gods?

At one moment I thought the demon in screen bottom was snoring while listening and watching....

Interesting we've accepted the idea that from the beginning of time all great societies were established around make believe friends.

I believe four books mark ,Luke ,Mathew and John were written , 40yrs Mark 50 yrs like 40 yrs and I think 50 or 60 yrs after the death of Jesus. I could be wrong on the names with the yrs meaning having them jumbled up. But this is my understanding way of reaching.

Offspring" can be the singular and or the plural. So to claim Jesus was the singular offspring may be wrong?

The God Culture on RU-vid proves that Enoch wrote Enoch

I watched another video presentation called " Reversing Hermon" that Mr Michael Heiser presented in almost 3 hours what the fallen ones did and the correlation with the book of Enoch. Mr. Heiser correlated the fallens ones trying to prove Jesus is real and the son of God somehow and he also tried to prove the Gospels to be real. Unfortunately, the book of Enoch can not prove nothing about the Gospels. Why? because it is not given any cross reference about Jesus as the messiah predicted. The reality is the Gospel and the letters of Paul are contradictory and misquoting the Tanakah. So how can the NT writings have validation if the Tanakh is the not the foundation???

Is that a dog snoring? 😆

Acts 28:28 Salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!

First comment!

All people keep saying on EVERY channel. How he died. He’s not dead he stepped out of his old vessel and went to be with the Lord. He’s not dead.

If God has a free will and he obviously does, how can we? The answer is that we can’t by virtue of the definition of the word “free”. The real question is, do we have a will at all?

This is what the bible says: Titus 1:14

Concerning Devarim/ Duet 32:8- "Elohim" is found 2602 times in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh, Old Testament). It is not used in the Greek New Testament. The word is used for: the true God, false gods, supernatural spirits (angels), and human leaders (kings, judges, the messiah). The "-im" ending denotes a plural masculine noun. Most of the time, however, when the noun is used for the true God it has singular masculine verbs. This is contrary to rules of Hebrew grammar. When used of the true God, "Elohim" denotes what is called by linguists a plural of majesty, honor, or fullness. That is, he is GOD in the fullest sense of the word. He is "GOD of gods" or literally, "ELOHIM of elohim" (Deut 10:17; Ps 136:2). In the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible (the Septuagint), where elohim refers to the true God, the singular theos is used. Genesis 1:1 Hebrew - "In the beginning, Elohim created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1 Greek - "In the beginning, Theos made the heavens and the earth. The New Testament (which is in the same Koiné Greek as the Septuagint) does not have different words for or spellings of "God." That is, no singular or plural forms of theos. When the NT quotes passages from the Hebrew Bible or the Greek Septuagint that contain the word "God," it always has the singular noun. In the Hebrew Bible there are four words translated "God": El, Elah, Elo'ah, Elohim. The oldest Semitic word meaning "God" is El. Linguists believe its base meaning is strength or power. "El" is the Strong One or the Deity (God). It occurs 238x in the Bible, and is first used in Genesis 14:18 in the phrase "God Most High" [El Elyon]. The Canaanites called their chief deity El, the Mighty Bull. After the Israelites entered Canaan, they adopted this generic word "El" for their God, though "Elohim" took precedence. In some Canaanite myths, one of El's sons was the notorious Ba'al, the nemesis of the true God throughout much of Israel's history. (Read that verse in context with the surrounding verses,' Hint' 32:9 - sons of Jacob,ect. His book's will take us on a long trip' chasing down the "Nuggets" Thanks Derek!

God's were always fighting with other Gods and humans felt the punishment trom the Gods

Most of the Ancient Societies, worshiped, the Devil, and the Demons, under, various, mythical names.

As I see it, there are only spirits. I am, you are, and all who are disembodied and never embodied are spirits. That said, what the Bible calls demon is simply a spirit at a low vibration. As we evolve, we realize and manifest divine, transcendent energy.

Yooo stop cutting him off!!!

Satan doesn't have free will read the torah

The vibe here from Derek was pretty antagonist and belittling. It really felt like he was trying to passively attack Dr. Heiser and quite unprofessional, in my opinion. There is an etiquette to approach guests with. It seemed like Derek took out his personal feelings against Theology and Religion out on his guest. Subsequent podcasts making fun of, poking and demeaning particular religious views, secular and otherwise, really highlight the Spirit behind this channel and its true agenda - those hidden and veiled.

NOG translation > all

😮 There was never a war in heaven.Satan is a angel of the lord's. No demon army

Satan does not have free will. Read the torah

Abraham worshipped the moon god Sin. Who had its cult center in Ur and Harran, exactly where Abraham travelled. "Sīn /ˈsiːn/ or Suen (Akkadian: 𒂗𒍪 EN.ZU, pronounced Su'en, Sîn) or Nanna (Sumerian: 𒀭𒋀𒆠 DŠEŠ.KI, DNANNA) was the god of the moon in the Mesopotamian religions of Sumer, Akkad, Assyria and Babylonia. Nanna is a Sumerian deity, the son of Enlil and Ninlil, and became identified with the Semitic Sīn. The two chief seats of Nanna's/Sīn's worship were Ur in the south of Mesopotamia and Harran in the north. A moon god by the same name was also worshipped in South Arabia." Very likely Abraham was some kind of priest of the Sin cult. His wife Sarai literally means : "'Sarai' is Sarratu', a name current in the country of Haran for the wife of Nannar (Sîn) the Moon-God." At some point Abraham's group/cult split between the Isaacites and the Ishmaelites. The Ishmaelites went into the desert of Paran, which is later called 'The wilderness of Sîn' because the Ishmaelites kept on worshipping this god. While the Isaacites took on Abraham's new god. This may have been the cause of the split in the first place. The whole sacrifice story may have been about this split. The problem is that the Bible only tells things from the Isaacite point of view. Since they became the Jews and created the Bible as we know it. The Ishmaelites however spread to the east and south and kept existing until Muhammad's time. The Sabians of Harran worshipped Sin until deep into the 6th century CE. They still performed circumcision, had 'Jewish' dietary laws, and their own form of Abrahamism based on the moon god Sin. They also had their own versions of Biblical stories up until Moses (Which they claimed was one of them). Everything after Moses seems to be copied and added from random sources by Muhammad because we know these stories were written much later as fiction. Like Salomon having a magic ring, a flying carpet, and ability to talk to animals. And for example young Jesus blowing life into pidgeons, which comes from the Youth Gospel of Thomas. Muhammad was very likely one of the Ishmaelites (a claim he did all the time in the scriptures) but started his own "up to date version" which included prophets from after Moses and called it Islam. That is also why we find Quranic texts from before Islam existed. And why Uthman burned all documents which he claimed were "corrupted Quranic texts". They were not corrupted. They were just pre-revelation texts. And not needed anymore. Only what Muhammad revealed was the 'truth' and needed. Muhammad did exactly the same thing as Paul and allowed 'gentiles' in his version of the Ishmaelite sect which also gave him an upper hand over the original sect. The reason he let gentiles join may have been because he was not recognized as a prophet by his fellow Ishmaelites and had to flee for his life to Medina with his family and few followers. The only way to grow was by letting non Ishmaelites join. This is also why the Kaaba is so holy. It is literally a 'moonstone' from Sin (a meteorite). Though hadith texts indicate that the gentile Muslims did not really understand why Muhammad ordered to worship it and not any other idols. They did not have the deeper knowledge of Ishmaelism and it's history, only whatever Muhammad transmitted to them. And Muhammad likely killed or forcibly converted the other Ishmaelites. Note that Muhammads only miracle was to split the moon. And Ramadan also has to with moon states. This is also why the Isaacites in following passages in the Bible put so much emphasis on "being descended from Abraham through Isaac" Now I personally think there is maybe more truth in Ishmaelism than in Isaacism. I don't think we should take the Bible as the absolute truth or standard of Abrahamism. Atleast the Ishmaelites knew were they came from. And did not write out or change stuff like the Isaacites to legitimize their (new) god since they just kept worshipping Abraham's original god. Though they may have changed other stuff ofcourse. The Isaacites were also heavily influenced by the Canaanites. With their god taking on names, features, and abilities of Canaanite gods. The Ishmaelites may have been influenced as well by other peoples, but did retain the original god. One thing that might be coincidental as well is the name Yahweh, which revealed himself as such to Moses and we only find in Isaacite scripture. Yah is also being the Egyptian moon god, which is also called Lah because in ancient Egyptian these letters were interchangable. In the Quran (and perhaps Ishmaelism) god simply calls himself Allah to Moses. And Allah simply meaning Al Lah (the (moon) God). And therefore Yahweh can mean the "the moon god (yah) of the land (weh)" meaning the land of Israel. Since IdHwh means marshlands in ancient Egyptian. Moses got really angry at the people making a calf. And the bull is also the animal of Sin since its horns represents the crescent moon.

Read the torah it clearly says that Satan as no free will then or now or ever no angel as free will so many lies in the new testament. No lies in the hebrew torah

In that case we're all better than beings that don't exist which then makes us all gods

i really enjoy your program and channel. but you invite guests to come and talk and yet you talk over them time after time. hope you take the helpful criticism to heart. let your guest speak, and let him get to his point.

Mesopotamia , good God ,bad God

Dude let Heiser talk. Stop poking in with obtuse questions and replies.

Pull your camera back and up. More to the left.

Ahayeh told me (because I Am) that Demons is your dark side/wild side. You should be your inner daemon and enjoy life... Don't let the demon control you.

Scare Christians 👺👺👺👺☠️☠️☠️

Heal the sick, Raise the dead, cleanse the Lepers, Cast out demons, dont figure them out, dont play origin stories with devils, cast them out.

Unfortunately this position is untenable from the start: outright belief in myth, the fall, etc. I stopped at 13:28. Thanks.

Who's snoring in the background?? 😆
