Hope you enjoy it! If you can pick up the book Supernatural by Dr. Michael Heiser, I recommend it. There is more in it than I can cover in the lessons here on UA-cam.
Free will in the spiritual realm is such an eye opening concept to grasp. We are all fine with Satan rebelling but people get freaked out with the idea that other heavenly beings also have the choice to rebel. Understanding that realm is similar to humans on earth, the dominion God gave us here on earth, is key to understanding what the Bible is telling us.
Delegated authority is the lynchpin in my mind. God legitimately delegates power to His created beings, both in the seen and unseen realms. He allows the choices of those created beings to have their effects on creation and on our relationship with Him. There are some things that He will step in to ensure so that His ultimate will is not thwarted. But short of that, He lets the laws of nature and our free will operate without intervention.
@@storeroomofscripture agreed. God wants to share with his families, in the seen and unseen realms. And once the new heavens and new earth are here, we will rule and judge angels. Those kinds of verses finally make sense with the DCW.
Agreed. Many verses about reigning with Christ seemed like abstract metaphor, but the DCW and whole biblical metanarrative suggest that those verses are not mere metaphor.
What a fascinating series idea. I can't wait! Thank you for taking the time to discuss this incredible topic in depth.

Looking forward to this series. Love Heiser’s work ❤
The dots he connected radically changed the way I read and understand the Bible, both Old and New Testaments.
@@storeroomofscripturesame - I’ll never read the Bible the same again. He did that for many of us. Shows that he was a good teacher.
The second video in this series is available now! Hope you enjoy it as much as the first.
@@storeroomofscripture fantastic. I’ll watch it when I get off work.
