Understanding the Spiritual Realm Part 1: Intro
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Dear AFM+MH Family--It is a joy and honor to bring you our first ever miniseries! It is our hope and prayer that this series builds up over the coming weeks and gets better with every episode to leave you eager for the subsequent episode. And we couldn't think of a better subject to discuss than the Spiritual Realm. Shrouded in mystery and misunderstanding, the Spirit Realm is a widely discussed topic in both the Church and pop culture. But how many of us really understand what's going on in the domain of the supernatural? In this introductory episode, we seek to set the stage for the rest of the series by explaining our motivation to delve into these subjects and where the Church has misunderstood some key elements of God's Word. We are so honored you are along for the ride with us and eager to see where the Lord takes us over the course of this series. Leave us a comment below to let us know your thoughts and what specifics you'd like to see us get into over the coming weeks. Be blessed!

Helpful Notes:
In this introductory episode, we cover some of the key players we find in the Biblical account of the Spirit Realm. The scriptures parse out multiple different kinds or classes of spiritual beings. The following is a list of the various types of beings and at least one scripture reference for where they appear in the Bible. Among the types of Angels (or Messengers of God), we find: Archangels (1 Thess. 4:16; Jude 9), Cherubim (Genesis 3:24; Ezekiel 10:4; Hebrews 9:5), Seraphim (Isaiah 6:2; Revelation 4:8), Fallen Angels (2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6; Revelation 12:7-9), and the Watchers (Daniel 4:13, 17, 23). Additionally, you see further subsets of spiritual beings referenced throughout the Bible, such as: Shedim (Deuteronomy 32:17, Psalm 106:37), Rephaim (Joshua 15:8, 18:16), Nephilim (Genesis 6:4), Principalities/Powers/Rulers of Darkness (Ephesians 6:12). It is our intention to examine some other ancient historic literature which is outside the canon of Scripture, but endorsed or directly quoted by the Biblical authors. It is important to note that while these extra-Biblical books may not be regarded as divinely inspired, that does not mean they aren't helpful in providing important context to help us gain a historical picture of what was going on in their culture and worldview as the Biblical authors wrote. For more on this subject, we refer you to Dr. Michael Heiser in this episode. Dr. Heiser sadly passed away earlier this year, but his legacy for the Kingdom continues on. Let's be students together on this subject and discover some amazing truths in God's Word!
Here for it. Once you read the Old Testament, you know The Bible is 100%. I’m in. I pray that this video is protected from the enemy and helps those seeking god to grow and brings non believers to god. ❤
Milenna, I don’t mind Jordan elaborating and expressing his thoughts. I don’t mind long podcasts. I feel like you cut him off because he may speak a lot but I’d like to see you let him speak because he has a lot of wisdom of the Word. I say this with love - hope to see change.
Agreed!
Agree! Totally into hour+ podcasts and going in depth.
I saw this comment before I watched and then was looking for her to cut him off and "not let him speak" but that never happened? You're right - Jordan has so much wisdom of the Word and she let him share it for the majority of the podcast! Jordan and Milena thank you - so excited for this miniseries :D Love you guys!!!!
There’s likely a lot more that goes into podcasting that we don’t know about. For all we know, they are paying an editor to go through it all and this could make their costs significantly more. Someone needs to manage the timetables. Let them sort it out 😊
@@mirandahenkel550 This comment makes sense. Thank you for bringing insight on this. God bless you!
Also i just had the thought that it could be really awesome if you did a Q&A on this topic AFTER completing your series to answer any questions about the things you have learnt and shared with us. It might wrap things up really nicely and prevent misunderstandings. Just an idea!
absolutely!!! this comment needs to blow up so they see this so it will happen lol
Haven’t listened but I want to say how much I appreciate your guys boldness with biblical subjects lately!
The spiritual realm has always freaked me out! Like from a demonic perspective. I avoid places that claim to be "haunted", tarot readings, mediums, literally anything related to those topics. I won't even watch scary movies. Excited to learn more! Maybe my anxiety can be eased through knowledge
Me too!!
Amen! Stay guarded. The enemy wants any open door to walk right in. God bless you.
only a minute into this episode but I’m SO EXCITED for this!!
Miss Mallena not even days before this morning studying Matthew 5 I found myself back in Genesis as I'm listening to Jesus expounds the on the Decalogue.
Oh my gosh my mind is BLOWN!!!!! 🤯 There are so many things I didn't know! Elohim (hope I spelt that right), the different demons there are, the fact that 'angel' is a title not a being!!! Just! I'm so excited for the next video! Thank you both for all the work you have put in to research all of this (and what's to come) and leaving links, cross-references etc!! It is so appreciated! Much love to you and your family and God bless you all!! ❤ xx
Would love to see a longer format even if it’s just for this spiritual realm series! It’s so much needed in our time and the church DOESNT COVER IT! RIP to Dr Heiser, he was truly amazing!
Please make more videos concerning these tops, and please do take your time explaining each throughly. I’m so glad Yahweh is revealing things to you guys, and that you’re willing to share. God bless your marriage and your family. Looking forward to the next videos.
Thank you for this!!
Milena I followed you when I found I was pregnant with my youngest and was going to have 2 under 2! Didn’t expect to end up here chopping up the word and getting into some theology but here we are 🥰 Jordan thanks for explaining how books that weren’t included in the canon can be helpful or utilized, while still understand it is not God breathed! I’m geeeeeeeeked for this series 😎
Thank you! My husband and I have really been getting into Michael Heisers work. We kept saying how we wish more Christian’s were speaking to these things. Also, keep the tangents coming. They’re always so good and truth filled. Can’t wait to listen to the other episodes in this series
Rewatching this series in full - after the first round though, I’m changed and now I’m going back bible open and ready to learn even more. ❤
Thank you for sharing! This makes me want to read the Bible even more🙏🏼
You guys are both soooo passionate. You go down so many rabbit holes because your HEART is totally in it. It makes me chuckle. I love you guys ❤️🤣
Love this series! Can’t wait to watch them all!
Hello Milena! I started following your channel over five years ago. I’ve never really been one to comment, but now I have to! Over the course of time, I myself have gone through many changes in my Christian walk, and I had quit watching your channel a while back. A few months ago, I came across your channel again after quite some time, and watched a video where you mentioned the wickedness of Disney. I was so happy to see it as I had also cut Disney out of my children’s lives! Then I saw that you are appreciating and observing Shabbat, which my family, and I have also been for a couple of years now! I saw the video on your modesty journey, the shepherding of your children’s heart, etc. I am so happy and thankful because I can witness and testify to all of these changes in my own life and heart as well! Praise the Lord! Along that path, the Father has also opened our eyes up to the origins of the holidays, His beautiful amazing feast days, His set apart name, and so much more. We have lost many people on this journey. But it is worth it! And now, I am only 12 minutes into this video, but I am excited to watch! In the last couple of years, I have begun to really dig in to the Word and I’m in LOVE! I can totally relate to what you’re saying about understanding the timeline of events! All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness! 2 Timothy 3:16
It is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path!! I am currently in second kings, and bouncing all around in the minor prophets and all over the New Testament! Oh, how I would love to get to know you, sister! Well, anyhow, thank you so much for how you have so boldly put forth what the Lord has been doing in your life, and how he has been changing you for his glory! I pray that people will be changed! Love you, sister!
Can we be friends? My husband and I have been in the same boat. The road is definitely more narrow than most realize and it’s felt lonely at times to feel ostracized simply for fearing The Most High and following His commands.
@@Our.Exodus yes, let’s be friends! 😄
I too have been lead in the same direction as far as observing the sabbath and learning more about His holy feasts. So excited to be here to learn more and dive deeper
I CANNOT wait for the next episode! Thank you guys so much for doing this series!
Our church covers the spiritual realm a couple times a year and it is so insightful. I also find it bringing me so much awe of God's true power 🙌💜
Also talking about the true age of creation is so nice to hear. I feel very thankful to see you two reaching so many. Walter vieth has sone ver good bible studies on all these topics. Thank you for your honest words and truth seeking. God bless
I prayed that God would show me the scriptures about spiritual warfare and to teach me more about the spiritual world. I get on UA-cam and two of my favorite people are talking about it. Now only that, there are scriptures in the description box 🥹. Thank you God
When I first read what the angels were described as my jaw dropped, this is exactly why when angels appear in the Bible they say do not be afraid. It makes so much sense.
MY FAVORITE SUBJECT YES!!!!!
Don't worry about time. Just stay true to the word,
I think this changed my life forever!
Thank you guys so much!! 🤍 God bless you and your children!
excited for the next episode!!!
Literally yes yes yes
You are blessing me with this series. Thank you both for being obedient to the Lord. He brought me here-on your podcast to listen to what He has you shared with us, and I am so grateful He did. I love learning about the spiritual realm, under the supervision of the Holy Spirit. I enjoy listening to your take on it. It is very refreshing. Keep going. May God keep blessing you, your marriage, and your beautiful family. 🙏🏻
It was so funny to see Jordan bulldozing through the conversation when milena was trying to speak 😂😂😂
Also, loving this topic! I’m shocked at the Elohim subject I need to know more about that. Can’t wait for the next episode💕
Couple goals!!! Thank you for sharing this

Wow. Remembering when I had all these questions about things like this I’d come across in the word, as a baby Christian. Thanks for bringing it back up :)
So excited for this! Listening with my husband and wow such Godly timing as we’ve been on this same learning journey.
My husband and I have just recently been introduced to Michael Heiser's work - he has been devouring his books. It really does open your eyes to so much in the bible that don't make sense to our modern ears.
I particularly love his explanation of why God went after Moses after calling him, and what Zipporah did.
I’m listening once again to all of your videos of the spirit realm and Wow.. all of the sudden the Old testamente makes sense for the first time for me in so many ways. So many questions all the sudden answered which I used to have. And with all I know which is going on the World now of horrible things and horrible people leading, it all kind of makes sense. Even their mission and what the bible also says about what will happen before the return of Christ.. I could write in detail but do not dare in public because of what we are up against.. but let me say, I so believe the nephillim (or how you spell it) still have Some pure evil genes going on especially is certain circkles which are knows also for being perverted, powerfull and very.. keeping their genes close between Rouling countries… I used to be spirituel, until God took direct contact again and again and saved me, and now some of their theorios which never made sense for me, now I see how they have been deceived and I feel like you explaining all this is actually what is truly going on and is what is more closer to some truth.. I know this all sounds weird, but … I so get it now. THANK you for this series❤
Soooo good, this makes me want to dive more into the Word and just get a whole new understanding!
Love what you both do and the Love for Jesus you both exude ❤🙏🙌 keep living and speaking about our King 👑 ❤
I've been watching several of your videos Milena then I came upon this channel. I am in love with you heart for God and how much you crave and seek Godly wisdom. I can't wait to see the next episodes I missed on both channels. Thank you guys for speaking on this. This does not intimidate or scare me at all. I find so interesting. It must be talked about.
So excited for these episodes. Dr. Heiser’s work has changed my life and my spiritual paradigm. It makes me so excited to see other’s speaking on these topics! 🙌🏻
Yes yes yes yes yes! Here we go!
Love this! We need to speak about it and make people aware or they fall prey. My people perish for lack of knowledge.
Thank you for this message!!! And Milena your hair looks GORGEOUS!!! 😮😮
I’m so excited for this episode! Can’t wait to share with my husband when he gets off work!
I love this conversation so much! I knew when I stumbleed apon gen 6 and the book of Enoch I found something important and like you said missing from todays Church conversations! The old testiment is more like Narnia than most of us know! Can't wait to hear the whole series!!!
I've been learning this for months. Super excited about this series. God is great!
So excited for this series. The way my thoughts were spinning the whole time!!! Thankful for you guys doing what you do.
That superbook episode is my daughter’s favorite. She is 5 1/5 and she has watched the final battle episode at least 15 times and always comes back with a different question or observation and it has lead to the most beautiful and deep conversation about the Bible and the kingdom of God. Highly recommend it
So excited for this! Been praying for you guys since you started doing sabbath. I started doing it 2 years ago then started having all this information being revealed to me also! Praise The Most High for revealing this to you both. He is so good! May he continue to reveal more and more to you ❤
So stoked you guys are brave enough to dig into this! This subject completely transformed the way I understand the gospel.
It’s very clear how passionate Jordan is on this subject. Will be praying for you guys as you move through this ❤️
Love this! 🙏. Looking forward to this miniseries. So much good information. Thank you for speaking on this.
Loved this episode. Loved side the tangents too 😂❤ it's crazy that believing that the entirety of the Bible is true, ruffles feathers of believers too. If that isn't a sign of the days we're in, idk what is. I love how the boldness of you both is growing. It's inspiring, I can't wait to see it continue to grow, and the content that will come with it ❤
Ooh this is so cool! I’m so excited to learn about this 💕🌸🌷🥰
Can’t wait for the next episode!!
Ahhhh just finished this episode and I am pumped!!
I am loving this series!!
Wow guys!! So excited to see you boldly venturing into speaking about the biblical realities of the spiritual realm and helping to teach about some of the deep things of His word 😭❤️ I’m sure the enemy hates this because you’re gonna be showing people not only what is going on behind the scenes but educating them on how to put on the full armor of God and engage in spiritual warfare. This is a topic WAY too many churches are uncomfortable with and because of your guy’s YES of obedience so many His kingdom will be equipped in ways they may not have fully been before. I’m praying for you and your family, may the Lord’s blessing follow you everywhere you go and His favor and protection shield you at every movement. So excited for next week!! ❤️ I just also wanted to say your marriage blesses me so much to see how United you are and how you love learning about and talking about the Lord together! My husband is still coming along in his process of full surrender to the Lord and it encourages me to see how possible and real His promises are to me that we will eventually have moments like this together. Thank you again!! 😊
this was wonderful you guys! my favorite podcast yet.
Thank you for letting Jordan lead and do God's will which is to preach to us.
i learned a couple things and i usually dont learn anything from other believers so thank u!!!!!
I’m so excited for these episodes, thank you Jordan & Milena 💛
I’m so excited for this! Listening while my baby is sleeping and folding some laundry 👶🏻🧺📖
So crazy that I just watched the revelation episode of super book this morning!
Yes yes yes! So excited for this! 🥳
Im so excited for this series and how you are making it so bite sized... beautifully done ❤
I really love this series!
“In J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic work we have a story of good versus evil, friendships forged in a struggle for the future of world. It is set in a world in which wizards, spells, magic, and violence abound and in which good eventually triumphs. In J.K. Rowling’s series of books we have a story of good versus evil, friendships forged in a struggle for the future of world. It is set in a world in which wizards, spells, magic, and violence abound and in which good eventually triumphs.” (2008) Dan Lacich
Thank you so much for doing this series! I’m very excited to learn more and I have always been interested in diving into this topic!
This was so good! Definitely confirmation as to what God has shown me!! Thank you for sharing!!
I am so excited for this!!!
I can’t believe you guys are talking about this topic! I’m so excited! This topic is very taboo in many conservative Christian circles, unfortunately.
I read the book “The Unseen Realm” and it connected so many dots for me!!! It made the scriptures make more sense and also made them become more REAL for me.
Can’t wait for the rest of the series!
So excited you guys are doing this!!!!!!
This is amazing. Thank you for doing this series.
It's like you guys read my mind on every topic I want yall to go over
I was going through your old podcasts to listen to while I work, and then I saw that a new podcast came out! Thank you!
SO excited for this!! Thank you guys for doing this!
I’m so excited for this series!!
The way Jordan looks at milena when she’s talking about having a new understanding of her bible 🥹🥹🥹🥹 husband goals
Love this you guys! Thank you❤
Thank you guys for making videos like this, literally had to get my notebook and take notes, really good topics!!! God bless you guys!!
stopping to comment bc I chuckled at Milena talking about the flood and Jordan's "before you answer that question" Milena "I'm not gOiNg to answer that question" lol too cute and funny
So exciting ❤️
I’d love to hear more about extrabiblical books. I have no idea about any of it. Is there already a podcast on this?
When God made man, the Serephim, Cherubim, angelic beings were all there. Man is a magnifier made to worship, or magnify God. No other heavenly host has the gift that we do. They all have their unique functions, but being made in the image of God is what makes us special. We are mirror images made to magnify Him!
Love love love these series! It's not talked about enough! There was a man you brought as a guest a couple of times..I think there was an episode about Halloween in the past..would you please bring him back?
Love this!!!
Great conversation and series topic. It's important to know the workings and layout of the spiritual realm. Dr. Michael Heiser was awesome in explaining this topic in academic and layman's terms. You both seem very engaging and on fire for God and scripture. I subscribed!!
Loved this episode!!!!
Ok, holly cow!!!! I totally thought going into this series I would know or have knowledge on this subject. But truly this is all new to me! It excites me, yet saddens me that growing up in the church I knew nothing of the significance of all this! I agree that it is a bit intimidating, and honestly puts God in a perspective that, I guess I'm a little fearful of... but maybe now I can understand why he says to fear Him. Dang He is no joke! He is not a God we can create in our imaginations and put in our pocket that we are comfortable with.
Truly I want to say thank you for this knowledge you are bringing to the table, Milena and Jordan! I know I can trust it too When there is scripture attached to it all. So thank you also for putting in the work and finding all the scriptures for us to see and educate with ourselves. This is something that I'm so anxious to know more about.
Also where did you learn all this? Seminary school? If so sign me up🙌👍
What an interesting discussion! Thank the Lord for the Bible and all the wisdom hidden in His Word. Love the angel shirt. Almost looked like a statue of St.Michael the Archangel for a moment! Two great books popped into my head while listening to your discussion and you both might enjoy. They have been such a help to me in the spiritual life. 1. 'Spiritual Combat' by Dom Lorenzo Scupoli 2. 'Introduction to the devout life' by St.Francis De Sales. Hope you guys can check them out! Prayers for you and your family. God bless!
Just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Y’all would love Real Science Radio. A Christian podcast that seeks to share the really sciency and techy topics from a biblical perspective! I’m talking quantum mechanics and the dual slit experiment, to French explorers who claimed to have found a “20 million year old” underground reservoir to designing experiments to show how photosynthesis in plants displays God’s love for his creation! It’s wild and I love their show as a Christian but also a research scientist who is very much into science and archeology and the evidence of Gods handiwork all around us!
Love these conversations! I was wondering about your view on Psalm 82. Doesn’t Jesus refer to this in John 10:34-35 and say “gods” refers to humans?
Just curious on your understanding of this!
I honestly find it so nuts that people weren’t taught these things in church? 😂 like my church growing up was honestly a little overboard on it
Our church is actually currently doing a study on this - and very specifically the book of Revelation!
Alexander Pagani & Mike Signorelli actually spoke unpacked the watchers of Genesis 6.✨
I couldn’t have clicked fast enough! I love the information on how to view the extra books!
I’d love to know where you got all the information from so I can drive more deep into it!
I’m so thankful for y’all and soooo excited for this series!!! This is something I have felt the Lord calling me to learn about
Edit: can y’all recommend a book discussing OT historical context/timeline?
Just wanted to say … I LOVE the side tangents 🤣 y’all always apologize for them but I’m like wait no keep going 😂
THIS IS SOOOOOO GOOD
You guys should definitely look into Catholicism!! There is something to be said for learning from the great lovers of God throughout history vs. relying upon contemporary academic scholarship. The Catholic Church has always put forward faith and reason as not only compatible, but essential to the faith. “Faith seeking understanding” is one of the oldest Christian sayings regarding the pursuit of interpretation of what God has revealed!
