It is virtually impossible to imagine what a creator as obviously powerful and creative has in store for those who believe. I like Heiser, an intellectual approach, should be taught in every major university to oppose the evolution theory.
Very fascinating Bible-Lessons.He is teaching the Bible from the heart and with great knowledge.Explaining the old languages was a big help for me.Mr.Missler also was a big help for me in that matter.With the old languages explained, the Bible becomes MORE ALIVE.Thank you very much Mr.Heiser.GOD gave you a good talent .Psalms 96:10 Declare among the nations,,,The LORD is King;,,
Dr Heiser's insightful understanding captures the vision of the astronomical mind through time. The precession of the equinox moves by one degree every seventy years. In time this will reach the autumnal equinox falling on the heart of the roaring lion, the star known as 'Regulus'. When this event happens, something of magnificence is seen in the morning sky at sunrise around, September 21st, 22nd and 23rd. When this event occurs, all cardinal points fall into place mirroring the living creature to the Mazzaroth also known as the zodiac constellations, that parallel to the four living creatures. That is Leo (the lion) is the autumnal equinox, the spring equinox in Aquarius (the man), the winter solstice Scorpio (the Eagle, see Richard Hinckley Allen's book on starlore) and Taurus, the bull in the summer solstice.
This is very simple once you start getting it. The number 4 is to indicate creation that God sits upon because He is in control. The four faces are the same as the four banners when Israel camped in the wilderness, thus they represent His people. The wheel within a wheel tells you it is the Holy Spirit and life. The eyes are individuals. The throne moved like a flash all over the world and an eye on the wheel would be on the ground where ever it went. Thus symbolizing that God is in control and puts his person on the ground where ever the trouble is. Basically it is demonstrating that God is everywhere and has a person to do His will, so is in full control. If you are a Christian then you are that person where God wants you right where you are.
I find the astrology association fascinating especially in the light of Michael Ward's work on CS Lewis and the astrological background to the Narnia books. He understood so much of this. I do so wish he had written a book about it.
Dr. Heiser, I believe you're right about the procession. The Magi, the calculation of 666, and a serious impression given to me about revelations and a clock.
raised up in His image on 3rd day early ! adhering to what it said not loving other gods way BUT Christ;s Way! obedience! if you love Him you follow Him to please Father of Truth! Jesus! Receiving Glory! day star in your heart! loving His Way! bowing to His Way! teach serve His laws feasts Sabbaths! 7th day Sabbath what mirrors all else! Sabbath rest is giving the Head a place to a raised up body! not bowing giving honor to other ways! But His Way! Jesus is the Way! Word of God the Father of Truth! Jesus the Word!
Thanks for the video. Dr. Heiser is not only very intelligent, but when he doesn't know something he doesn't pretend he does or make things up as he goes. I respect this. I had hoped to learn even more from the comments. Sadly, they're so nasty and downright profane, I quit reading. smh
I pretty much think that guys like Van Danikken are not saying that they traveled through interstellar space in the craft but rather use them as a small craft to leave the mother ship to come down to Earth while leaving the mother ship in orbit. Which would make more sense actually.
l have been studying Ekekiel's and Enoch's visions for years. It makes perfect sense that these visions could be interpreted at extraterrestrials and UFO infaciacionados
I thought this would be interesting, until I got to the 25 min mark and saw the drawings of what you think Ezikiel saw. They are not even close to what he describes seeing. He says that each had the appearance of a man: two arms and two legs, and each had four faces, and each had four wings that were connected to each other etc. They each had four faces; Human on the front an ox, eagle and lion. This is where you are mistaken, Each being had a human body and was wearing a helmet, on one side of the helmet there was a communication antenna; (OX) on the back, Eagle; some type of system that fed them what ever they breathed, lion on one side purpose unknown. The wings he describes and how the operated and looked when in operation can only be a four bladed helicopter wing, these being where using back packs of some sort that they could remove, as they did remove them as Ezekiel said they did. they must have been powered at the tips, as he says they had the color of beryl when being operated, which is a bluish color. When helicopter blades are rotating they look to be a wheel and with the counter balance that they have that are smaller than the blades it looks like a smaller wheel within a wheel when they are rotating, and the blue eyes he talks about is the explosion at the tips of the blades that power the blades. When they took off he says they all faced forward and did not turn, but they went in any direction they still faced forward. and he says they controlled the "Spirit" meaning it looked to Ezekil that the were controlling the "Spirit and not the other way around. These beings flew with a helicopter back pack, for that I am certain.
LINK to a clip from " Pan's Labyrinth" to see what a talented digital artist can conjure up. Then consider trying t describe what you saw....ua-cam.com/video/ypBj0xDP-io/v-deo.html
they hold the Word of God up! Jesus as a man walked it out in the flesh! at end of 4th day His death marks the 5th day! after 2 days the body follows, those whom choose the Way Christ! His path in flesh! in deed! who you serve! you serve tthe Father in Truth: Word of God of Truth! agree with him is a understanding place, to walk in! following! Truth, Word!
It's true that this is not symbolic whatsoever but a TRUE occurrence of anecdotal evidence by Ezekiel and no doubt anyone also viewing. I saw the same thing when I was 12 in arcadia CA. It's described perfectly by Ezekiel. It went right by me and I CLEARLY saw the orange orb and the wheel mechanism inside. I am one of the fortunate ones to see this... I'll never forget it! I have had lots of paranormal and psychic experiences before and after that as well, as this isn't one isolated event or account by yours truly.
Nightingale Amadeus I believe you I was out early one morning at around 3 am taking my dog out. While she was doing her business I just happen to look up and was thinking how beautiful the heavens were when all of a sudden 6 bright orange round speres came across the sky. All in a line one behind the other so fast that if I had not of looked at the exact moment I would not of even seen them.! As they went across the sky one behind the other the first one went up toward space and disappeared and one by one the others followed until all 6 were out of site. It was so fascinating I had to stand there staring I said o myself what in the world did I just see.??? I cannot even get the feeling across in writing as to how I felt. To see something that you have never seen in your life that is way beyond your imagination is just something else. I have no reason to lie either. I do not care if one person believes me. I have not seen anything since. However I can speak to spirits through a spirit box. I have proof I have recordings unedited just as I was asking questions. I have talked to a little boy name Junior one time and I have it recorded I had asked if anyone is here and a deep deep voice by itself came on and said "I Am" that shook me up. My next door neighbor had fell here at our apts and broke her jaw. She was in her 80's and died of pnuemonia the week after her surgery. I had become good friends with her I had found her sister she had not seen in 20 years thank God she got to see her before she past away. This is what I do in a group on Facebook in a group I have called "WHERE ARE YOU? I find family and friends members have lost touch with. Anyway I wanted to know where Anna is her name had fell because no one knew. One week after she was buried I did a spirit box session and contacted her and she told me and I have it recorded too. The spirits told me there are 5 demensions. I know the Bible warns against it but it also contradicts itself stating that the dead no nothing so which is it. I have never had any thing bad happen. Although since I have been in contact with the other side I have syncronosities and seeing numbers 11:11 22:22 and sometimes 3's.
Get the real interpretation of Ezekiel 1 by clicking the green icon and then see the video "Wow, Incredible: The First Seal Has Been Opened. The video will open your eyes and blow your mind.
well I am glad Micheal S. Heiser is debunking aLIEn + Nibiru nonsense etc. after the aLIEns have been buried and only 'Jesus loves ewe' is left standing .... TRUTH will come to slay the LIE called jesus too.
WHO WROTE THE BIBLE ALEXANDER THE GREAT He came and conquered Egypt, built a city called Alexandria. in That city he built a very large Library and collected writings from all over. The writings of Thoth was part of that Library. Alexander died at 32 and his General became Pharaoh. His name was Ptolemy I , and took off from where Alexander left it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemaic_Kingdom A descendant of his was Cleopatra, she became involved with Mark Anthony and guess where those ancient writings are now, in the Vatican. When Ptolemy I I became involved the Librarian told him that the Hebrew Creation story wasn’t in the Library, so he told him to get Jewish Scribes and get them to write the story. This was about : King Ptolemy once gathered 72 Elders. He placed them in 72 chambers, each of them in a separate one, without revealing to them why they were summoned. He entered each one's room and said: "Write for me the Torah of Moshe, your teacher". God put it in the heart of each one to translate identically as all the others did. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septuagint The problem with all of this is who ever wrote the bible said it was the word of the Almighty God, then not that long after they ( Catholics ) had a meeting and took out some books and put some in. Hummm guess some of those books didn’t suit their taste so the held finally Council of Nicaea and then decided what would be called the word of GOD. Several gods are used to make that one god and it looks to me when ever they seen some writings with the word lord they said this is god. I count at least 5 gods in the bible the first god is in genesis 1: it says this: 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. w Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. Compare this to the Babylonian Enuma Elish www.sacred-texts.com/ane/blc/blc08.htm The Babylonian Legends of Creation, by E. A. Wallis Budge, [1921], at sacred-texts.com The Seven Tablets of Creation.-Translation. FIRST TABLET. 1. When the heavens above were yet unnamed, 2. And the name of the earth beneath had not been recorded, 3. Apsu, the oldest of beings, their progenitor, 4. "Mummu" Tiâmat, who bare each and all of them-- 5. Their waters were merged into a single mass. If you read those writings you learn that TiaMat was a water planet at first. So that’s your first god then you have the god walking in the garden with adam and eve Then you have the god eating ans speaking with Abraham that’s 3 gods but before that you have the god of Noah that makes 4 gods. Then you have these gods The Great Gods Send a Messenger One of those great gods was Enki the god of Noah and Noah was serving him in his Temple at Eridu. HE WAS THE DWELLER IN AMENTI Then you have to include the god El Elyon with his wife Ashera, He was the father of all the gods and there is none above him. He was the god Alulu or Anshar in the Enuma Elish and there is no god above him. He was the first born in heaven his wife the second. The next god you come up against was Marduk the son of Enki and his sister Nin?ursaga: etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/cgi-bin/etcsl.cgi?simplesearchword=enki&simplesearch=translation&searchword=&charenc=gcirc&lists= Now to show for a fact that Marduk the god of Babylon was the god of IsRaEl, you have to look at Isaiah, Ezra and Ezekiel. All 3 of those prophets speak of the one that would deliever the jews that had been captured and was slaves in Babylon under the god Marduk who was Ahura Masda. Ahura Masda/ Marduk send the Persian Prince Cyrus the Great to recapture the city Babylon of Marduk. Cyrus did come to babylon and and he left a CYLINDER buried in Babylon and the Brits discovered it when they dug up Babylon. Whats interesting is what Cyrus wrote on that Cylinder. From a cylinder in the British Museum [No. 12,049] www.ancient.eu.com/article/166/ Marduk sought me out me a righteous prince and a man after his own heart, whom he could take by the hand. He proclaimed my name “Cyrus King of Anshan,” and declared my name for sovereignty over the whole world. He (i.e. Cyrus) compelled the land of Kuti, and all the tribes thereof, to bow down at his feet; all the Black Heads whom Marduk had delivered into his hands he governed with justice and righteousness. Marduk,( Nefer-Tem or Ra-Tem) the great lord, the protector of his people, looked on his beneficent deeds and his righteous heart with joy. Marduk commanded him to go to his city of Babylon; he made him to set out on the road to Babylon, and he marched by his side as a friend and helper. His countless soldiers, with their armor girded on them, advanced by his side like a wide spreading flood. Without fighting, an unopposed, Marduk made him to enter into his city of Babylon, and he refrained from sacking it. He delivered into his hands Nabonidus, who did not worship him Marduk. All the men of Babylon, all the people of Sumer and Akkad, and their princes and governors bowed down before him and kissed his feet; they rejoiced in his sovereignty, their faces were bright. They bowed down in reverence to him, and adored the name of Marduk, the lord, who by his power had raised to life the dead, and had saved all from destruction and want. I am Cyrus, King of the world, the great king, the mighty king, the king of Babylon, king of Sumer and Akkad, king of the four quarters of the world, the son of Cambyses, the great king of Anshan, descendant of Teispes, the great king, king of Anshan, the everlasting seed of royalty, whose reign Bel of Babylon and Nabu of Borsippa love, and whose sovereignty they desired with joyful hearts. When I had entered Babylon, I entered under favorable auspices; I made my abode in the Royal Palace, a splendid building, amid shouts of gladness and cries of joy. Marduk, the great lord, the darling god of the Babylonians, inclined graciously to me, and daily did I duly worship him. In vast numbers my soldiers marched peacefully into Babylon. I took care that all the people of Sumer and Akkad, a great race, should suffer no molestation; I had respect for the tribulation of Babylon and all her cities. And the gods of Sumer and Akkad which Nabonidus had brought into Babylon, whereat the wrath of the lord of the gods was roused, by the command of Marduk, the great lord, one and all I restore to their shrines, and made them to inhabit once again the places in which their hearts rejoiced. May all the gods whom I have brought into their own cities pray daily before Bel and Nabu for the lengthening of my days! May they speak the word which shall bring me prosperity, and may they say unto Marduk, my lord, “Let king Cyrus, who worshippeth thee, and his son Cambyses [be prosperous!]” In this regard, the Human right's Charter of Cyrus the Great at the conquest of Babel reads: “I ordered that no one is permitted to abuse anybody or to damage the cities. I ordered that no house should be damaged and no one's property should be violated and ransacked. I ordered that everybody should keep to his/her belief system and be free to worship his/her own God. I ordered that all the people should be free in their thoughts, choosing the place of their residence and no one should violate the rights of others.” So without Doubt Marduk was the god of IsRaEl, the god of the Jews. The big problem for those like Jesus and Mohammed is that Marduk was found dead in his temple in Babylon by Xerxes. Aelian relates the story that when broke into “the monument of ancient Belus”( Marduk )he found a glass sarcophagus containing a body in olive oil, presumably the body of Belus himself. Each of these later writers follows the literal sense of the Sacred History penelope.uchicago.edu/aelian/varhist13.xhtml Chap. III. Of the Monument of Belus, and the unfortunate sign which happened to Xerxes there.(519-465 BC) Xerxes Son of Darius, breaking up the Monument of ancient Belus, found an Urn of glass in which his dead body lay in Oil ; but the Urn was not full, it wanted a hand-breadth of the top : Next the Urn there was a little Pillar, on which it was written, "That whosoever should open the Sepulchre, and not fill up the Urn, should have ill fortune. " Which Xerxes reading, grew afraid, and commanded that they should pour Oil into it with all speed ; notwithstanding, it was not filled : Then he commanded to pour into it the second time, but neither did it increase at all thereby ; so that at last failing of success, he gave over ; and shutting up the Monument departed very sad. Nor did the event foretold by the Pillar deceive him ; for he had an Army of fifty Myriads against Greece, where he received a great defeat, and returning home, died miserably, being murthered in his bed by his own Son, in the night time. Thus ends the story of the god of IsRaEl and it proves Jesus to be a liar because a dead god cant do shit.
Michael Heiser always offers sober logic and well researched facts to many historical items of great interest, which are being woefully distorted by fraudulent entrepreneurs. On the subject of Ezekiel's Wheels, my own work consists of applied logic and well researched facts via two historical documentations. Google 'haitheory Ezekiel's Wheels'.
Old & new Testaments! are the two witnesses, with Christ in middle, mercy seat; Christ in earthen vessel, not raised up! metaphors ! see the natural then understand it spiritually! Law, God, Word all the same! Father & Son, all agree as ONE
I don't think so. It is not meant to be taken literally because it makes no sense. Ed Leedskalnin used this to make a magnetic flywheel with 24 spinning magnets.
foot stool is the body not raised up in Christ statutes image, Head in air between your ears , forehead his place is head of body, body, keeper of law following Christ & His sabbath & feasts, to rise up on 3rd day the wise rose up early, in mid night hour or in darkness before Sun rises when every one will see him, connected to bride in air following mind of Christ, Word made flesh in the bride, he rest on purified church woman soul one with light, raised up by doing keeping! with power of Christ in bride 144 thousand. the one's whom chooses obedience over traditions! air in mind of Christ head of body truth in you!
How can this phenomenon be explained, how could the iconography have appeared so long ago among the earliest of humankind, even 10,000 years ago, appearing in the identical iconography seen at the Temple site of Göbekl Tepe in southern Turkey? How did the early civilizations of the Near and Middle East possess such common knowledge of the Creator God, then universally known as El? As Paul tells us in Romans chapter 1, verse 22, it was because the whole world, they "knew God". Everyone in the then world on this side of the flood, the offspring of Noah, they all knew God! As there were no other people on the face of the whole earth but the sons and daughters of Noah. This is when the Nephilim, Nimrod, also called "the great Apostate", introduced the Babylonian Mystery religion of the "gods" which was taken up and began to be worshiped throughout the then known world. yet the people did retain the knowledge of the Divine Council of Heaven and the Divine beings in all its drawings, art, sculpture- its iconography, although greatly degraded and completely corrupted.,, the truth shined through them still. That's when the Great Subjector, Yahweh, intervened into that Apostate world history and chose a man from the Ur of the Chaldees who's name was Abram..later to be called our Father Abraham. the very first Hebrew, to correct and make right, the apostate eruption from the Nephilim conquerer and hunter of men, Nimrod. which is still being worked out to this very day. All of this and much, much more can be found in the book by the Rev. Alexander Hislop and his monumental study published in 1858 called "The Two Babylons" which goes very far indeed to prove without a doubt that far from the Hebrew people stealing or taking anything from the pagan and Godless nations around them, but the knowledge of Yahweh and His Divine Council and the Divine beings was always the inheritance of all of Noah's offspring. And it can be proved that all religions of the nations in every place and in every climate, are ONE, and that they all ...from the Egyptian gods of the Pharaoh, to the plumed fiery serpent gods of the Alto plano in south America to the god Pele of Hawaii, and the dragon gods of China, India, Eskimos, early Russia and among the American indians...ALL these FALSE RELIGIONS..everyone of them...ARE radically Babylonian. All of them, except the Divine, Holy and True Revelations of the patriarchs, Noah, Job and Abraham/1st Temple prophetic Judaism/ first century Christianity.... and it can be proved that all of the rest is nothing more than the worship of Nimrod and His wife Astarte, the still extant spirits in the earth.
Saved2theLight, I would be glad to reply to your comment, if you actually gave me an example of just what you meant by "the God of Israel was God, but not as the people of Israel describing Him,(Yahweh) in relation to themselves"??? In my view most secular scholars and even a majority of liberal Bible scholars drastically fail to appreciate the sheer time-scale involving religion beginning at the dawn of human civilization before there ever was any peoples called Israel...when the whole human race knew God. For more than a century, anthropological and sociological theory held that religion had its beginnings after village life was established. It was assumed humans began as hunter-gatherers, and only then, with the rise of agriculture, did humans seek to placate the divine gods for abundant crops. (the silly idea is that these people who exerted enormous efforts to prepare themselves for the afterlife, were blathering idiots, whereas bright overly educated atheists who say there is no God today, are the smart ones: but they shall received propitiation by the shedding of animial blood for their sins, and will stand justified before God in the Great white throne Judgment!!) The ancient people who took the enormous time and trouble to carve and move massive stones must have cared a great deal about religion and the after life, such as we find on this ancient site in Southern Turkey where the latest research of the Temple worship site at Göbekli Tepe recently was dated at 10,000 years BC. This of course was at the dawn of pre-pottery Neolithic before any evidence of the use of fire for cooking, thousands of years before human writing in Mesopotamia (3200BC.) before the construction of Stone-henge (2000-3000BC) and at least 6000 years before the most ancient Egyptian pyramid. All this religious history flatly call this theory into question: everywhere they look in the world (see Hislop and Humboldt), it's very obvious that Religious worship and making animal sacrifices was already a very important part of human life as far back as Cain and Abel who offered the same animal sacrifices to God as primitive people. There are ten generations from Adam to Noah, and ten generations from Shem (Noah’s son) to Abraham. Eber or Heber was the fourth in generation from Shem. All of the descendants of Heber were Hebrews. Abraham was six generations later. Abraham had eight sons, and we don't come to Israel until Abraham's son Issac, the father of Jacob: whose name was changed to Israel. But as far back as the time of Cain, as we are told in Genesis 4: 26 ..."in those days men began to call upon the name of the "Lord" (Hebrew, Yahweh)." So if what you're saying is that Israel didn't know their God Yahweh which their own ancestors have been worshiping for over 8000 years, than I think you are mistaken, and this is no such man-made theology. .
Why read the KJV? It is an inferior translation using English words that haven't been used for centuries, as well as translation errors and spurious passages because the translation committee didn't have access to reliable manuscripts. If you are one of those who believe the KJV is the only proper Bible then you should read the original Foreward to the King James translation "To The Reader". Look it up. The translation committee states that they recognized their work was limited, that a better translation would come along later, and that the KJV is NOT inspired. God expects us to use our mind, to be rational and logical, not a slave to superstition and mindless tradition. Those things have been responsible for most of the religious errors of the past three thousand years.
Jeff Payne Easier in what way? It's old English, with words whose meaning is different from the time in which the translation was written. If the Bible is supposed to be God's word for every generation then it must be translated into the most common vernacular of the day, not hidden away in an ancient language, whether that be the old Latin 'translations' made by Catholic monks, or old English made by people in Great Britain. The New American Standard is best for accuracy, and clarity.
Jeff Payne James 3:1-4 is a good example of the KJV NOT being easier to read than the NIV or other translations (have you checked ALL the other translations for readability in comparison to the KJV? I doubt it). Most translations at times use words that are not commonly used nowadays. Even a translation that goes back to, say, 1960, will be outdated because the English language is moving and changing so quickly now.
Frauke Schmidt As to the usage of "thee" and "thou" etc. I do find helpful, because it gives clarity in some passages whether YOU plural or YOU singular is meant. There's a few passages where that is crucial. Thankfully not too many, as far as I can see. I find it useful to have more than one good translation to hand, plus I feel blessed because I speak more than one language. :)
Mr Heiser you are preaching to yourself, the Bible states clearly and literally as You are saying about the Raquiah as it is the Firmament and the whole cosmology ;It is actually real, why don't you believe! ?..
I don't need to know/speak Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic to understand the "true" meaning of anything in the Bible. The KJV explains itself. Do a word study in Ezekiel for "wheels" and "rings." The discerning reader will see a physical representation of this in the real world.
So nothing was lost in translating from spoken word to aramaic then to hebrew, then to greek, then to latin, then to olde english? I think you DO need to know those languages to get the true meaning. Hebrew has like dozens of meanings for the same word, depending on how its used.
Jeff Payne Exactly what i'm saying. Every time it is re-translated your changing it in slight ways. Its original tone and inflection are hopelessly lost to time.
This guy criticizes scholars work who can read ancient languages and he has a PhD, and can not read it. It is good to be objective but he needs to read the ancient himself before claiming or acting like an expert. He is no different then a common religious preacher

RIP Dr. I am grateful for your recorded knowledge
This man is gold. I love that he has a soft approach to lead the people to the Word of God.
He's brilliant,I cannot find a single hole in any of his lessons/lectures he has done the research and presents an air tight explanation.
It is virtually impossible to imagine what a creator as obviously powerful and creative has in store for those who believe. I like Heiser, an intellectual approach, should be taught in every major university to oppose the evolution theory.
Very fascinating Bible-Lessons.He is teaching the Bible from the heart and with great knowledge.Explaining the old languages was a big help for me.Mr.Missler also was a big help for me in that matter.With the old languages explained, the Bible becomes MORE ALIVE.Thank you very much Mr.Heiser.GOD gave you a good talent .Psalms 96:10 Declare among the nations,,,The LORD is King;,,

Interesting. I remember these older videos back in the day, happy to see God use Michael in spreading His Word.
This is very simple once you start getting it. The number 4 is to indicate creation that God sits upon because He is in control. The four faces are the same as the four banners when Israel camped in the wilderness, thus they represent His people.
The wheel within a wheel tells you it is the Holy Spirit and life. The eyes are individuals.

Basically it is demonstrating that God is everywhere and has a person to do His will, so is in full control. If you are a Christian then you are that person where God wants you right where you are.
the Word of Truth made flesh in us! those that love Him, believe Him so follow His Way, Jesus the Word of Truth!
Very good teaching Thank you Dr. Michael S. Heiser
I find the astrology association fascinating especially in the light of Michael Ward's work on CS Lewis and the astrological background to the Narnia books. He understood so much of this. I do so wish he had written a book about it.
I love seeing all the comments saying Dr. Hesier doesn't know what he's talking about... Such a good laugh
Dr. Heiser, I believe you're right about the procession. The Magi, the calculation of 666, and a serious impression given to me about revelations and a clock.
raised up in His image on 3rd day early ! adhering to what it said not loving other gods way BUT Christ;s Way! obedience! if you love Him you follow Him to please Father of Truth! Jesus! Receiving Glory! day star in your heart! loving His Way! bowing to His Way! teach serve His laws feasts Sabbaths! 7th day Sabbath what mirrors all else! Sabbath rest is giving the Head a place to a raised up body! not bowing giving honor to other ways! But His Way! Jesus is the Way! Word of God the Father of Truth! Jesus the Word!
In the movie "Knowing" at the end..reminds me of his vision. Check it out.
That was intentional 👍
I really love the questions, you can tell they know their stuff
Love Heiser!
Thanks for the video. Dr. Heiser is not only very intelligent, but when he doesn't know something he doesn't pretend he does or make things up as he goes. I respect this. I had hoped to learn even more from the comments. Sadly, they're so nasty and downright profane, I quit reading. smh
cats stink
Amen to that, it's very sad...
please,MIchael, ask your you tubers to do closed Captioninng for us hearing impaired.
I pretty much think that guys like Van Danikken are not saying that they traveled through interstellar space in the craft but rather use them as a small craft to leave the mother ship to come down to Earth while leaving the mother ship in orbit. Which would make more sense actually.
l have been studying Ekekiel's and Enoch's visions for years. It makes perfect sense that these visions could be interpreted at extraterrestrials and UFO infaciacionados
is there somewhere to view all the teachings in order? each video I have seen seems to end before the class is over. thank you for sharing
Naked bible podcast Michael has loads of content
I thought this would be interesting, until I got to the 25 min mark and saw the drawings of what you think Ezikiel saw. They are not even close to what he describes seeing. He says that each had the appearance of a man: two arms and two legs, and each had four faces, and each had four wings that were connected to each other etc. They each had four faces; Human on the front an ox, eagle and lion. This is where you are mistaken, Each being had a human body and was wearing a helmet, on one side of the helmet there was a communication antenna; (OX) on the back, Eagle; some type of system that fed them what ever they breathed, lion on one side purpose unknown.
The wings he describes and how the operated and looked when in operation can only be a four bladed helicopter wing, these being where using back packs of some sort that they could remove, as they did remove them as Ezekiel said they did. they must have been powered at the tips, as he says they had the color of beryl when being operated, which is a bluish color. When helicopter blades are rotating they look to be a wheel and with the counter balance that they have that are smaller than the blades it looks like a smaller wheel within a wheel when they are rotating, and the blue eyes he talks about is the explosion at the tips of the blades that power the blades.
When they took off he says they all faced forward and did not turn, but they went in any direction they still faced forward. and he says they controlled the "Spirit" meaning it looked to Ezekil that the were controlling the "Spirit and not the other way around.
These beings flew with a helicopter back pack, for that I am certain.
surely there are gifted christian fantasy digital art students who could do that.

they hold the Word of God up! Jesus as a man walked it out in the flesh! at end of 4th day His death marks the 5th day! after 2 days the body follows, those whom choose the Way Christ! His path in flesh! in deed! who you serve! you serve tthe Father in Truth: Word of God of Truth! agree with him is a understanding place, to walk in! following! Truth, Word!
Anyone know what year this was from?
I'm sure it was 2006
Researched The Mazzaroth/zodiac on the Sabbath Covenant channel on UA-cam?
excellent analogy ....so close
It's true that this is not symbolic whatsoever but a TRUE occurrence of anecdotal evidence by Ezekiel and no doubt anyone also viewing. I saw the same thing when I was 12 in arcadia CA. It's described perfectly by Ezekiel. It went right by me and I CLEARLY saw the orange orb and the wheel mechanism inside. I am one of the fortunate ones to see this... I'll never forget it! I have had lots of paranormal and psychic experiences before and after that as well, as this isn't one isolated event or account by yours truly.
Nightingale Amadeus I believe you I was out early one morning at around 3 am taking my dog out. While she was doing her business I just happen to look up and was thinking how beautiful the heavens were when all of a sudden 6 bright orange round speres came across the sky. All in a line one behind the other so fast that if I had not of looked at the exact moment I would not of even seen them.! As they went across the sky one behind the other the first one went up toward space and disappeared and one by one the others followed until all 6 were out of site. It was so fascinating I had to stand there staring I said o myself what in the world did I just see.??? I cannot even get the feeling across in writing as to how I felt. To see something that you have never seen in your life that is way beyond your imagination is just something else. I have no reason to lie either. I do not care if one person believes me. I have not seen anything since. However I can speak to spirits through a spirit box. I have proof I have recordings unedited just as I was asking questions. I have talked to a little boy name Junior one time and I have it recorded I had asked if anyone is here and a deep deep voice by itself came on and said "I Am" that shook me up. My next door neighbor had fell here at our apts and broke her jaw. She was in her 80's and died of pnuemonia the week after her surgery. I had become good friends with her I had found her sister she had not seen in 20 years thank God she got to see her before she past away. This is what I do in a group on Facebook in a group I have called "WHERE ARE YOU? I find family and friends members have lost touch with. Anyway I wanted to know where Anna is her name had fell because no one knew. One week after she was buried I did a spirit box session and contacted her and she told me and I have it recorded too. The spirits told me there are 5 demensions. I know the Bible warns against it but it also contradicts itself stating that the dead no nothing so which is it. I have never had any thing bad happen. Although since I have been in contact with the other side I have syncronosities and seeing numbers 11:11 22:22 and sometimes 3's.
lunar module fits in a mother ship and the latter is for interstellar travel, DUH!!!
Could it be that people back then could see in 4 dimensions ?
People can see at least 3 or 4 dimensions today. I can so I know there's more.
We know there is at least 10'' we can only see three the width. Height. And length..
In math you can calculate as much dimensions as you want. Math will work even in 9000 dimensions (without naming them ofc)
People see only 2 dimensions lol
Only width and height ? How bout the depths . Cubic
This man is lucent.

Very good Bible analysis. Except that the vedic Indians had no flying machines.
eyes are not literal it means UNDERSTANDING put that in sentence when you see eyes or eye.
It sounds like an 'armillary'.
It seems like all six of the audience members are riveted by this discussion.
well I am glad Micheal S. Heiser is debunking aLIEn + Nibiru nonsense etc.
after the aLIEns have been buried and only 'Jesus loves ewe' is left standing .... TRUTH will come to slay the LIE called jesus too.
Sounds like God is in some kind of a spaceship, and picked up Ezkiel and took him to where he wanted to take him
WHO WROTE THE BIBLE
ALEXANDER THE GREAT
He came and conquered Egypt, built a city called Alexandria. in That city he built a very large Library and collected writings from all over. The writings of Thoth was part of that Library.
Alexander died at 32 and his General became Pharaoh. His name was Ptolemy I , and took off from where Alexander left it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemaic_Kingdom
A descendant of his was Cleopatra, she became involved with Mark Anthony and guess where those ancient writings are now, in the Vatican.
When Ptolemy I I became involved the Librarian told him that the Hebrew Creation story wasn’t in the Library, so he told him to get Jewish Scribes and get them to write the story.
This was about : King Ptolemy once gathered 72 Elders. He placed them in 72 chambers, each of them in a separate one, without revealing to them why they were summoned. He entered each one's room and said: "Write for me the Torah of Moshe, your teacher". God put it in the heart of each one to translate identically as all the others did.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septuagint
The problem with all of this is who ever wrote the bible said it was the word of the Almighty God, then not that long after they ( Catholics ) had a meeting and took out some books and put some in. Hummm guess some of those books didn’t suit their taste so the held finally Council of Nicaea and then decided what would be called the word of GOD.
Several gods are used to make that one god and it looks to me when ever they seen some writings with the word lord they said this is god.
I count at least 5 gods in the bible the first god is in genesis 1: it says this:
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
w Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
Compare this to the Babylonian Enuma Elish
www.sacred-texts.com/ane/blc/blc08.htm
The Babylonian Legends of Creation, by E. A. Wallis Budge, [1921], at sacred-texts.com
The Seven Tablets of Creation.-Translation.
FIRST TABLET.
1. When the heavens above were yet unnamed,
2. And the name of the earth beneath had not been recorded,
3. Apsu, the oldest of beings, their progenitor,
4. "Mummu" Tiâmat, who bare each and all of them--
5. Their waters were merged into a single mass.
If you read those writings you learn that TiaMat was a water planet at first.
So that’s your first god
then you have the god walking in the garden with adam and eve
Then you have the god eating ans speaking with Abraham that’s 3 gods
but before that you have the god of Noah that makes 4 gods.
Then you have these gods The Great Gods Send a Messenger
One of those great gods was Enki the god of Noah and Noah was serving him in his Temple at Eridu. HE WAS THE DWELLER IN AMENTI
Then you have to include the god El Elyon with his wife Ashera, He was the father of all the gods and there is none above him. He was the god Alulu or Anshar in the Enuma Elish and there is no god above him. He was the first born in heaven his wife the second.
The next god you come up against was Marduk the son of Enki and his sister Nin?ursaga: etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/cgi-bin/etcsl.cgi?simplesearchword=enki&simplesearch=translation&searchword=&charenc=gcirc&lists=
Now to show for a fact that Marduk the god of Babylon was the god of IsRaEl, you have to look at Isaiah, Ezra and Ezekiel.
All 3 of those prophets speak of the one that would deliever the jews that had been captured and was slaves in Babylon under the god Marduk who was Ahura Masda.
Ahura Masda/ Marduk send the Persian Prince Cyrus the Great to recapture the city Babylon of Marduk.
Cyrus did come to babylon and and he left a CYLINDER buried in Babylon and the Brits discovered it when they dug up Babylon.
Whats interesting is what Cyrus wrote on that Cylinder.
From a cylinder in the British Museum [No. 12,049] www.ancient.eu.com/article/166/
Marduk sought me out me a righteous prince and a man after his own heart, whom he could take by the hand. He proclaimed my name “Cyrus King of Anshan,” and declared my name for sovereignty over the whole world. He (i.e. Cyrus) compelled the land of Kuti, and all the tribes thereof, to bow down at his feet; all the Black Heads whom Marduk had delivered into his hands he governed with justice and righteousness.
Marduk,( Nefer-Tem or Ra-Tem) the great lord, the protector of his people, looked on his beneficent deeds and his righteous heart with joy. Marduk commanded him to go to his city of Babylon; he made him to set out on the road to Babylon, and he marched by his side as a friend and helper. His countless soldiers, with their armor girded on them, advanced by his side like a wide spreading flood. Without fighting, an unopposed, Marduk made him to enter into his city of Babylon, and he refrained from sacking it.
He delivered into his hands Nabonidus, who did not worship him Marduk. All the men of Babylon, all the people of Sumer and Akkad, and their princes and governors bowed down before him and kissed his feet; they rejoiced in his sovereignty, their faces were bright. They bowed down in reverence to him, and adored the name of Marduk, the lord, who by his power had raised to life the dead, and had saved all from destruction and want.
I am Cyrus, King of the world, the great king, the mighty king, the king of Babylon, king of Sumer and Akkad, king of the four quarters of the world, the son of Cambyses, the great king of Anshan, descendant of Teispes, the great king, king of Anshan, the everlasting seed of royalty, whose reign Bel of Babylon and Nabu of Borsippa love, and whose sovereignty they desired with joyful hearts. When I had entered Babylon, I entered under favorable auspices; I made my abode in the Royal Palace, a splendid building, amid shouts of gladness and cries of joy. Marduk, the great lord, the darling god of the Babylonians, inclined graciously to me, and daily did I duly worship him. In vast numbers my soldiers marched peacefully into Babylon.
I took care that all the people of Sumer and Akkad, a great race, should suffer no molestation; I had respect for the tribulation of Babylon and all her cities. And the gods of Sumer and Akkad which Nabonidus had brought into Babylon, whereat the wrath of the lord of the gods was roused, by the command of Marduk, the great lord, one and all I restore to their shrines, and made them to inhabit once again the places in which their hearts rejoiced. May all the gods whom I have brought into their own cities pray daily before Bel and Nabu for the lengthening of my days! May they speak the word which shall bring me prosperity, and may they say unto Marduk, my lord, “Let king Cyrus, who worshippeth thee, and his son Cambyses [be prosperous!]”
In this regard, the Human right's Charter of Cyrus the Great at the conquest of Babel reads: “I ordered that no one is permitted to abuse anybody or to damage the cities. I ordered that no house should be damaged and no one's property should be violated and ransacked. I ordered that everybody should keep to his/her belief system and be free to worship his/her own God. I ordered that all the people should be free in their thoughts, choosing the place of their residence and no one should violate the rights of others.”
So without Doubt Marduk was the god of IsRaEl, the god of the Jews.
The big problem for those like Jesus and Mohammed is that Marduk was found dead in his temple in Babylon by Xerxes.
Aelian relates the story that when broke into “the monument of ancient Belus”( Marduk )he found a glass sarcophagus containing a body in olive oil, presumably the body of Belus himself. Each of these later writers follows the literal sense of the Sacred History
penelope.uchicago.edu/aelian/varhist13.xhtml Chap. III.
Of the Monument of Belus, and the unfortunate sign which happened to Xerxes there.(519-465 BC)
Xerxes Son of Darius, breaking up the Monument of ancient Belus, found an Urn of glass in which his dead body lay in Oil ; but the Urn was not full, it wanted a hand-breadth of the top : Next the Urn there was a little Pillar, on which it was written, "That whosoever should open the Sepulchre, and not fill up the Urn, should have ill fortune.
" Which Xerxes reading, grew afraid, and commanded that they should pour Oil into it with all speed ; notwithstanding, it was not filled : Then he commanded to pour into it the second time, but neither did it increase at all thereby ; so that at last failing of success, he gave over ; and shutting up the Monument departed very sad. Nor did the event foretold by the Pillar deceive him ; for he had an Army of fifty Myriads against Greece, where he received a great defeat, and returning home, died miserably, being murthered in his bed by his own Son, in the night time.
Thus ends the story of the god of IsRaEl and it proves Jesus to be a liar because a dead god cant do shit.
Nope.
nope my ass it was 70 jews and the fucking catholic church if you dont know that it means you havent studied where it came from
Then it's your ass.
Michael Heiser always offers sober logic and well researched facts to many historical items of great interest, which are being woefully distorted by fraudulent entrepreneurs. On the subject of Ezekiel's Wheels, my own work consists of applied logic and well researched facts via two historical documentations. Google 'haitheory Ezekiel's Wheels'.
Old & new Testaments! are the two witnesses, with Christ in middle, mercy seat; Christ in earthen vessel, not raised up! metaphors ! see the natural then understand it spiritually! Law, God, Word all the same! Father & Son, all agree as ONE
I don't think so. It is not meant to be taken literally because it makes no sense. Ed Leedskalnin used this to make a magnetic flywheel with 24 spinning magnets.

Polaroids of his days?...nah! What is written is written!
How can this phenomenon be explained, how could the iconography have appeared so long ago among the earliest of humankind, even 10,000 years ago, appearing in the identical iconography seen at the Temple site of Göbekl Tepe in southern Turkey?
How did the early civilizations of the Near and Middle East possess such common knowledge of the Creator God, then universally known as El?
As Paul tells us in Romans chapter 1, verse 22, it was because the whole world, they "knew God".
Everyone in the then world on this side of the flood, the offspring of Noah, they all knew God! As there were no other people on the face of the whole earth but the sons and daughters of Noah.
This is when the Nephilim, Nimrod, also called "the great Apostate", introduced the Babylonian Mystery religion of the "gods" which was taken up and began to be worshiped throughout the then known world. yet the people did retain the knowledge of the Divine Council of Heaven and the Divine beings in all its drawings, art, sculpture- its iconography, although greatly degraded and completely corrupted.,, the truth shined through them still.
That's when the Great Subjector, Yahweh, intervened into that Apostate world history and chose a man from the Ur of the Chaldees who's name was Abram..later to be called our Father Abraham. the very first Hebrew, to correct and make right, the apostate eruption from the Nephilim conquerer and hunter of men, Nimrod. which is still being worked out to this very day.
All of this and much, much more can be found in the book by the Rev. Alexander Hislop and his monumental study published in 1858 called "The Two Babylons" which goes very far indeed to prove without a doubt that far from the Hebrew people stealing or taking anything from the pagan and Godless nations around them, but the knowledge of Yahweh and His Divine Council and the Divine beings was always the inheritance of all of Noah's offspring.
And it can be proved that all religions of the nations in every place and in every climate, are ONE, and that they all ...from the Egyptian gods of the Pharaoh, to the plumed fiery serpent gods of the Alto plano in south America to the god Pele of Hawaii, and the dragon gods of China, India, Eskimos, early Russia and among the American indians...ALL these FALSE RELIGIONS..everyone of them...ARE radically Babylonian.
All of them, except the Divine, Holy and True Revelations of the patriarchs, Noah, Job and Abraham/1st Temple prophetic Judaism/ first century Christianity.... and it can be proved that all of the rest is nothing more than the worship of Nimrod and His wife Astarte, the still extant spirits in the earth.
Saved2theLight, I would be glad to reply to your comment, if you actually gave me an example of just what you meant by "the God of Israel was God, but not as the people of Israel describing Him,(Yahweh) in relation to themselves"???
In my view most secular scholars and even a majority of liberal Bible scholars drastically fail to appreciate the sheer time-scale involving religion beginning at the dawn of human civilization before there ever was any peoples called Israel...when the whole human race knew God.
For more than a century, anthropological and sociological theory held that religion had its beginnings after village life was established.
It was assumed humans began as hunter-gatherers, and only then, with the rise of agriculture, did humans seek to placate the divine gods for abundant crops.
(the silly idea is that these people who exerted enormous efforts to prepare themselves for the afterlife, were blathering idiots, whereas bright overly educated atheists who say there is no God today, are the smart ones: but they shall received propitiation by the shedding of animial blood for their sins, and will stand justified before God in the Great white throne Judgment!!)
The ancient people who took the enormous time and trouble to carve and move massive stones must have cared a great deal about religion and the after life, such as we find on this ancient site in Southern Turkey where the latest research of the Temple worship site at Göbekli Tepe recently was dated at 10,000 years BC.
This of course was at the dawn of pre-pottery Neolithic before any evidence of the use of fire for cooking, thousands of years before human writing in Mesopotamia (3200BC.) before the construction of Stone-henge (2000-3000BC) and at least 6000 years before the most ancient Egyptian pyramid.
All this religious history flatly call this theory into question: everywhere they look in the world (see Hislop and Humboldt), it's very obvious that Religious worship and making animal sacrifices was already a very important part of human life as far back as Cain and Abel who offered the same animal sacrifices to God as primitive people.
There are ten generations from Adam to Noah, and ten generations from Shem (Noah’s son) to Abraham. Eber or Heber was the fourth in generation from Shem. All of the descendants of Heber were Hebrews. Abraham was six generations later.
Abraham had eight sons, and we don't come to Israel until Abraham's son Issac, the father of Jacob: whose name was changed to Israel.
But as far back as the time of Cain, as we are told in Genesis 4: 26 ..."in those days men began to call upon the name of the "Lord" (Hebrew, Yahweh)."
So if what you're saying is that Israel didn't know their God Yahweh which their own ancestors have been worshiping for over 8000 years, than I think you are mistaken, and this is no such man-made theology.

Just read your KJV Bible. These "scholars" multiply words to appear wise, but their arguments are foolish.
Please explicate the topic at hand as you see it & demonstrate its tenuous logic in the absence of multiplying words.
Why read the KJV? It is an inferior translation using English words that haven't been used for centuries, as well as translation errors and spurious passages because the translation committee didn't have access to reliable manuscripts. If you are one of those who believe the KJV is the only proper Bible then you should read the original Foreward to the King James translation "To The Reader". Look it up. The translation committee states that they recognized their work was limited, that a better translation would come along later, and that the KJV is NOT inspired. God expects us to use our mind, to be rational and logical, not a slave to superstition and mindless tradition. Those things have been responsible for most of the religious errors of the past three thousand years.
Jeff Payne
Easier in what way? It's old English, with words whose meaning is different from the time in which the translation was written. If the Bible is supposed to be God's word for every generation then it must be translated into the most common vernacular of the day, not hidden away in an ancient language, whether that be the old Latin 'translations' made by Catholic monks, or old English made by people in Great Britain. The New American Standard is best for accuracy, and clarity.
Jeff Payne James 3:1-4 is a good example of the KJV NOT being easier to read than the NIV or other translations (have you checked ALL the other translations for readability in comparison to the KJV? I doubt it). Most translations at times use words that are not commonly used nowadays. Even a translation that goes back to, say, 1960, will be outdated because the English language is moving and changing so quickly now.
Frauke Schmidt As to the usage of "thee" and "thou" etc. I do find helpful, because it gives clarity in some passages whether YOU plural or YOU singular is meant. There's a few passages where that is crucial. Thankfully not too many, as far as I can see. I find it useful to have more than one good translation to hand, plus I feel blessed because I speak more than one language. :)
Mr Heiser you are preaching to yourself, the Bible states clearly and literally as You are saying about the Raquiah as it is the Firmament and the whole cosmology ;It is actually real, why don't you believe! ?..
You're a debunker Doc. You are an evil entity.
boring
I don't need to know/speak Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic to understand the "true" meaning of anything in the Bible. The KJV explains itself.
Do a word study in Ezekiel for "wheels" and "rings." The discerning reader will see a physical representation of this in the real world.
Actually, you do, lest you misinterpret the original message.
So nothing was lost in translating from spoken word to aramaic then to hebrew, then to greek, then to latin, then to olde english? I think you DO need to know those languages to get the true meaning. Hebrew has like dozens of meanings for the same word, depending on how its used.
Jeff Payne Exactly what i'm saying. Every time it is re-translated your changing it in slight ways. Its original tone and inflection are hopelessly lost to time.
This guy criticizes scholars work who can read ancient languages and he has a PhD, and can not read it. It is good to be objective but he needs to read the ancient himself before claiming or acting like an expert. He is no different then a common religious preacher
You have got to be kidding?
Dr. Heiser is a world class Hebrew Bible scholar, he definitely knows the languages.
YOU ARE WRONG.
