    When you hear the word demons, you most likely think of red, supernatural figures with horns and pitch forks, or at least, if you do, you're not alone. Here's the thing: nowhere does the Bible describe demons like that. Furthermore, we often talk of demons as fallen angels, but (spoiler alert), you're going to be hard-pressed to find that idea in the Bible as well. The truth is, a lot of what we believe about demons doesn't come from the Bible, and some of it flatly contradicts the Bible. This is what Dr. Michael Heiser and I discuss in this interview. So, what does the Bible teach about demons? Moreover, how should we allow belief in demons to affect our lives? If all this talk of demons sounds crazy to you, don't worry, we talk about that too.

    About Gospel Simplicity:
    Gospel Simplicity began as a UA-cam channel in a Moody Bible Institute dorm. It was born out of the central conviction that the gospel is really good news, and I wanted to share that with as many people as possible. The channel has grown and changed over time, but that central conviction has never changed. Today, we make content around biblical and theological topics, often interacting with people from across the Christian tradition with the hope of seeking greater unity and introducing people to the beautiful simplicity and transformative power of the gospel, the good news about Jesus.
    About the host:
    Hey! My name is Austin, and I'm a 22 year old guy who’s passionate about the beautiful simplicity and transformative power of the gospel. I believe that the gospel, the good news about Jesus, is really good news, and I’m out to explore, unpack, and share that good news with as many people as possible. I'm a full blown Bible and Church History nerd that loves getting to dialogue with others about this, learning as much as I can, and then teaching whatever I can. I grew up around Frederick, MD where I eventually ended up working my first job at a church. They made the mistake of letting me try my hand at teaching, and instantly I fell in love. That set me on a path for further education, and I'm currently a student at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL, studying theology. On any given day you can find me with my nose in a book or a guitar in my hands. Want to get to know me more? Follow me and say hi on Instagram at: @austin.suggs

    I hit my knees one day, in the middle of my driveway, with tears in my eyes, and cried out to God about the suffering in the world, the corruption that took advantage of people, the lies and manipulations- why God do you allow this to happen? As I paused in my grief from my daily business, I heard, “Everyone gets to choose.”
    It was not what I expected, nor what I had hoped to hear. I have pondered it for years now. I understand. I got to choose how I live. I made some horrible choices along the way that hurt me as well as others. I also made the choice to change my ways… to repent of my self destructive lifestyle. He rescued me from myself. Even though I mocked Him and anyone who claimed belief in Him. He still saved me. What kind of King does this!? The conquering King of Love saves like that. He does not destroy His enemies, He rescues them.
    Thank you Jesus for making this possible. Thank you. Thank you.

      Yes... all I get in this life are choices and time, and the time isn't even guaranteed. So all I get is choices, and those choices are only about me... I only get to control me, but that is enough!
      I am here to gain experience so I can learn how to make better choices, and eventually the goal is for me to learn how to choose my best way out of this path I have been placed on, and eventually choose, on behalf of my species, to never ever again do what we did right in the beginning.
      Every problem we have on this planet is about power... ppl who take power that isn't theirs, ppl who give away their power, and ppl who abuse the power they have. What Adam and Eve did was take power that wasn't theirs, and that is how they corrupted their own gene pool.
      When a child breaks a rule, you make them face the consequences and all the pain that entails, and you discuss with them what they did and where it lead them, so they can see the connection between the choice they made and the results it yielded for them. You don't rescue them from their pain or they will never see the full lesson, and they must or they will just keep making that same bad choice over and over again, and no-one wants that!
      So yes, we all get to choose, and the sooner we all realize why we're here in this mess, what this entire lesson is about, the sooner we can make better choices and end it all.
      We can never go back to what we were, but we can push forward thru this lesson as a species and finally get to a place where we can put this lesson and all its pain in the past, and get back on a path which once again has hope for a brighter future, everything else happening on this planet is a deserate distraction from this one goal, trying to stop you from reaching the end, so we must remain focused... this is why he calls it a race... and God's grace, love and strength is all we have to help us to do that
      Yes, thank you Jesus, thank you God ❤😊👍

    I’ve had a demonic attack experience and what I learnt from that is that Satan will try and kill you the first opportunity he has and he absolutely fears the name Jesus and cowers at it. Jesus alone has the power. Do not think that you can control them. It’s his name that they fear and you must submit your authority to Christ to fend off any attack from them.

      Although you and your Arab brethren are descendants of Ishmael, that much is true. Because Hagar and Ishmael had to migrate into the desert away from YHWH's household with Isaac, Sarah and Abraham. The birth of Isaac was a miracle and became Abraham's sole heir and established a covenant with Isaac and his descendants, whose bloodline ends up reaching Jesus, as promised by the sovereign God YHWH in the bible. Hence Jesus coming back with Allah and not Muhammad in the end times, it just proves that the Quran was the corrupted book to me. The bible explains it so clearly.

    I just now came to this video. I've been following Dr. Heiser for a couple months, and as a lay person, l have come to realize so many of my suspicions about the supernatural world. I don't have a clue on reading Hebrew or Greek, but he has taught me so much. However, my son will not have anything to do with him. He went off on me when I shared Psalms 82. He said God was not talking about god's, he was talking about people. Which is a footnote in John. He always has a come back, so I just leave him alone and still love him. I only recon that it's not time for him to take this step of understanding. God bless y'all for your work.

    the difference in those who read the Bible to master its wisdom and those who read the Bible out of a kinda search for who God is and who we are to Him. I see what Micheal is saying about misconception and predetermined interpretation of scripture rather than letting the scriptures speak to and read the reader. Its like my dad would say to me, " the Bible reads you" and the scriptures are alive and sustain the worshiper as bread is food to the body. also as scripture says" and they will all be taught of God" the Holy Spirit is the key that unlocks the scriptures.

      You know something that i cannot stop thinking about?
      When God gave 'the woman' to Adam in the Garden of Eden, he married them right there (Genesis 2:25) and told them to go forth and multiply and fill the earth (Genesis 1:28).
      So, it is fairly safe to assume that they went and began doing that straight away! That means that they most likely had many children right there in the garden, and who knows how many and for how long tbh?
      Now after Adam and his wife both ate from the tree of knowledge of good and bad, and they forevermore mutated their own genetic code by doing so, they were kicked out so that they would have to begin the long process of dying becoz they were told they'd die if they ate of it and God had to keep his word (Genesis 2:17) so that was achieved by keeping them away from the tree of life (Genesis 3:22).
      So if that is how things happened, then they not only had to leave their home behind, they also left all their still genetically perfect children behind, becoz only Adam and his wife ate of the fruit, and no-one else is mentioned as being expelled but exclusively these 2, becoz only they were now mutated and imperfect, and if you leave corruption in with perfection, like 1 rotten apple, you will lose the entire crate.
      But how awful for them, to leave their beloved children behind, and what terrible pain to carry! No wonder flaming swords had to be placed at the entrance!!!!
      Now these children would probably have also continued to breed and multiply in the garden just as Adam and Eve's offspring did on the outside, right up until they had to be removed to somewhere else becoz Noah's flood put everything under permanent oceans from thereon in. This means that they continued to learn and grow alongside us and becoz they were still perfect, their progress would have been amazing, exactly what we were SUPPOSED to be, had we not done ourselves in first... 🙄 - talk about finding out that you have a twin brother, and that the only reason you never knew was coz it was YOU who was the evil twin that they tried to keep locked up and hidden away! 🤣
      Now do we have any clues to support this conjecture? We most certainly do!
      In Genesis, God turns to the woman and tells her that as punishment, he would cause her to experience great pain during childbirth (Genesis 3:16).
      Now if she hadn't already given birth in the garden, that would mean nothing to her! What is childbirth? What are children? It would have been a meaningless threat, and that's just not God's style!
      Also, in John 10:16, Jesus tells us that he also had other sheep to visit that they were not of this fold, and there has been much speculation about who these were, but this could fit this too.
      Another one? Just after they were told that they were going to have to leave, it was only then that Adam renamed his wife "Eve" becoz she WAS the "mother of all living" - a gesture to remind everyone else present that she would always be their mum! ❤ She already had a name that identified her as coming from him, but now that this horribly momentous occassion was about to occur, he considered her identity as to her children and their place in her heart!
      And there are probably countless other clues in the bible to help support this as well that i haven't yet caught onto, so i'm still looking...
      So... he already had a entire batch of perfect children to work with, an entire whole section of the creation worked out perfectly! So why would he bother to even give the defective, broken part any more attention? Especially if it was so stupid that it did this thing to itself?!?
      Becoz his mercy and his love for ALL of his children is overwhelmingly eternal! And that salvation he has given us is our only way of finally getting to a place where we can once again move forward and leave this big mistake behind - we can never go back to what we were, but we can sure push forward thru the lesson, learn from it and put it in the past where it belongs!
      And his incredible love and compassion for our plight and suffering is his gift to us, if we want it ❤😊👍

      I've never thought about that before but damn, the way you lay it out here is seriously compelling. Did you come up with all of this completely on your own or has anyone else ever talked about this? It makes so much sense once you say it that God wouldn't threaten A&E with something they couldn't appreciate as such, to understand the pain to come by being able to compare to the lack before. That's really dark, especially when you recall the age that generation was said to live to, (multiple 100's, I think?) And the amount of suffering had to feel increased in the context of remembering the past experience of perfection. Loved your use of emojis and humor and it was just a really well-written comment.
      And because the apple = knowledge, eating the apple = gaining self-awareness or self-knowledge, and A&E eating out of desire (too early) while lacking the understanding or wisdom to wield it (knowledge) properly, it results in the punishments of death and suffering? Damn. Deep.

      And no, i've never heard anyone else mention this... some ppl were speculating about what "eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and bad" actually meant and someone suggested they had sex and were kicked out for it.
      So i re-read Genesis and realized that they were told to go forth and multiply the moment the woman was given to Adam, so they would have started straight away and that's when it hit me! Sex has consequences does it not!?!??! 🤣
      And there are so many realizations i've had just like that 1, from reading Genesis very carefully and reading between the lines with God's spirit there revealing them for me, becoz Genesis covers a HUGE amount of history in such a short chapter... and reading Revelations answers alot of questions that arise ftom Genesis as well!
      I'm glad you liked the point i was making becoz i think our culture has been fed a narrative of 2 ppl in a neat clipped french garden which has only served to not only close our minds, but honestly, it sounds kinda boring, and i know it definitely wasn't!!! 😄😅

      I only believe what a Catholic priest who knows demons says about demons. I know several exorcists. I've heard them speak about demons. They would highly disagree with you. So unless you have personally encountered demons and have exorcized demons out of people, do not speak about demons. You'll look foolish.

I actually taught myself NT Greek BEFORE entering seminary, something most don't do, and had that knowledge tested and verified by an accredited university in New York. So comparing me to "Bugs Bunny" is more than a joke, and shows you don't do your own credible research to even know what you're talking about. I have my own scholarship and do not depend on the Dr. Heisers of the world, who regularly fool uneducated and ignorant people because too many people blindly trust what they say.
      So he is NOT more credible than me simply because you think so in ignorance, or because you think that just because he has a doctorate and I don't yet, that this somehow gives him more credibility. Logically speaking, that is a non sequitur fallacy and bad reasoning.
      I have personally had encounters with demons. But even if I had not, I have what GOD has to say about them in the Bible and their relationship to us and the world, and therefore my understanding is solid, credible and stands regardless of your ignorant claims.

    Fortunately, his teachings are still with us in his books, videos, interviews and podcasts that we and future generations can continue to benefit from his deep insight into the spiritual world that is documented in our Bible and other related texts from the ancient world.

      @@matthewmaynard5460 If Russia stays soveign and they don't advance forward then it doesn't give the NATO to advance into Russia. They do want to draw us into a war with the false flag or such. It should be a peace settlement. The ultimate end game is to destabilize the middle east especially around Israel namely. We don't want an issue there. The Russians have provided the opposite of war and that would be more in human needs. That doesn't mean the US people aren't kind. It means the military and govt officials entrenched are wanting the wars. When you look at Russia don't be surprised at this hell because I believe he means this but the ultimate result of a centralized power is it goes back to governing and one person will either get corrupt or more and more out of tune with the local economies. I feel in the US we can what is more like a spiritual economy which is one unit of production can produce one or more. Vs one wante to reduce labor cost- goods get cheaper at expense of a person's job. It's still free market but that's theory. The reason I bring it up is because the world doesn't have to be this way and we aren't really to know the future of humanity. Christ must be shown now as if Christ has returned because in my heart he is here in the Holy Spirit.
      Finally, if we understand we have passed a stage and now have moved toward a chance of brotherly and sisterly love-which will start we can continue on. My understanding of the end times was it wasn't something I should predict but something more important is to treat my work for GOD without knowing when is the end. I started to dig into revelation and there is no end of time but there is not a return of Christ in the body but in the realm that is behind the material. Christ's kingdom must start with us because we are the Church. There speaks of two struggles 1 in the old Testament and one in the end with Sorath. I believe we have contained in a way the first battle. In the old testament Gabriel said he was being held back and finally was able to bring the message. He was coming from a future battle but that isn't Sorath. For that to happen every man and woman must have all the chances to come to Christ. Until the world has been fully evangelized then it isn't that final battle.
      There is the exorcism of principalities over governments but you will know if it is the individual's battle and it will not be pretty.
      If you have to know something then the meeting of a demon was like the air in the room became dark even with sunlight. You should not be afraid but instead you should have a heart of determination and bravery and indignation. You must see this demon and know the name and expell. One thing I learned is that I should cast it and into a chamber and not back out into the world. It is called the , I'll have to look up the word.
      My stance is very rare but maybe it's only exorcist who can see this part. If you were to face one then it would start with obsessing over something, it manifest into something in your body vs outside, very rarely is there possession but then the person must want it.
      So we are in a war of attribution. You have to fight as if there is no end and if you can say yes to that and continue to maintain faith in Christ then we are with you. If it discourages you that we won't have a straight obvious victory then I encourage you that the victory has been decisive when Christ resurrected. Jesus Christ conquered by sacrificed on Golgatha.

      In regards to Russia in providing needs I meant it in regards to the players in the middle east. If a nation is in position to stabilize an area who are at war it would be the one who has been providing stability. Russia had done that. We are in an era in which war is going to be fought in the non material and war that is fought with physical weapons would be dying by the sword. This is the evolution of war because Satan will go after us with temptation. No one has ever been tempted by being forced. Therefore you'll see it won't be in any kind of oppression. Saying that, it doesn't mean people won't die. Instead, humans will bring in each other's destruction and this evil one will want to be the solution. Russia isn't going to be the problem as they have done things we see as a new axis of evil but well I will leave that to find out. One thing I know is He will work through any one of us. I find myself hating the evil that is I am honest I have the capacity as well. That allows me humility because I can't say I am more holy than any person who hasnt the same situation. That is the common characteristic of an exorcist at least the Catholic one and that is a mystical element, a psychic or Clairvoyance (consciousness of another being and it's intents and abilities vs your own) a knowledge of GODs word, a fearless and serving characteristic. An absolute opposition to what is vile. That last sentence is more personal when you see your own demon as you see in the outside and how I came to understand it must be contained and a part of us redeemed.

      @Robert Vann, Micah 5:2, the Messiah born in Bethlehem is FROM EVERLASTING. What is everlasting? NO BEGINNING, NO END. Isaiah 9:6, the Messiah Jesus Christ will be called THE MIGHTY GOD & EVERLASTING FATHER. Jesus Christ says in John 14 “He that hath seen Me HATH SEEN THE FATHER also”. John 1:1-14, Jesus Christ, the Word, who existed with God from the beginning, AND IS GOD, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, AND THE WORD WAS GOD”, all things were created BY THE WORD, who BECAME FLESH, and He, the Word, Jesus Christ, was in the world, AND THE WORLD WAS CREATED BY HIM, JESUS CHRIST, THE WORD, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, the Jewws of Isr@el, and His own received Him not. I paraphrased those verses, but the scriptures say JESUS CHRIST IS THE CREATOR, who is from EVERLASTING, which means Jesus Christ IS NOT A CREATED BEING, He existed in another form because He had to BECOME FLESH, and John 4 says God is SPIRIT, WHO BECAME FLESH. Nobody can tell an unbeliever like you who Jesus Christ truly is, because Jesus says the Father must reveal who Jesus Christ is through the indwelling Holy Spirit, which you don’t have, because John 1 says all who deny Jesus Christ is God in the flesh IS ANTICHRIST, and therefore Romans 8:9 says you are none of Christ’s because you deny who Jesus Christ says He is. In John 8:58 Jesus Christ says He is the I AM of Exodus 3:14, and the Jewws picked up rocks to stone Jesus for CLAIMING THAT HE IS THE GOD OF ISRAEL. In Revelation 1:17-18 Jesus Christ says He is the First and the Last of Isaiah 44:6, and these are both names of Jehovah in the Old Testament, because JESUS CHRIST IS GOD INCARNATE. He forgave sins, He raised the dead, He healed the lame, and gave sight to the blind, which are all things ONLY GOD can do. What did the Jewws say? Only God can forgive sins. What did Pilate write above Jesus’ head in 3 languages? JESUS CHRIST THE NAZARENE KING OF THE JEWWS, which in Hebrew the 1st letter of each word spelled out YHWH, the Hebrew Tetragrammaton and THE ETERNAL NAME OF ALMIGHTY GOD, JEHOVAH, and Jehovah says in Zechariah 12:10 that it was HIM THEY CRUCIFIED! “They will look upon ME whom they have pierced”. Jesus Christ was crucified FOR SAYING HE IS THE GOD OF ISRAEL, THE I AM, THE FIRST AND THE LAST, YHWH MANIFEST IN THE FLESH!!! Why does God refer to Himself as ELOHIM, A PLURAL FORM OF THE WORD FOR GOD? “Let US make man in OUR image, and in OUR likeness”, Genesis 1:26, and “Let US go down and scatter the people and confuse their language”, Genesis 11. Because God is TRIUNE, Father, Word, and Holy Ghost in ONE LIVING GOD, just like we’re triune, body, soul, and spirit, in ONE PERSON. That’s why Jehovah, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are ALL called God in the scriptures, which is why Jesus Christ has every right to call Himself I AM & the First and the Last, because He’s the Word, part of the Godhead, “For there are THREE who bear witness in Heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and THESE THREE ARE ONE” 1 John 5:7. Why a triune Godhead in the one true living God? Because of Deuteronomy 19:5, by the testimony of 2 or 3 WITNESSES shall all things be established, and the Godhead is the THREE WHO BEAR WITNESS IN HEAVEN. Jesus Christ is the FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD bodily, Colossians 2:9. Jesus Christ is the VISIBLE IMAGE of the INVISIBLE GOD, Colossians 1:15, so that means JESUS CHRIST IS GOD MANIFEST VISIBLY IN THE FLESH!! And Jesus Christ says everyone who denies He is I AM will DIE IN THEIR SINS, John 8:24. In Daniel 3 when Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego called on their God, YHWH, Jehovah, to deliver them from the fiery furnace, who did Nebuchadnezzar see as the 4th man in the fiery furnace? THE SON OF GOD, because the Son is the exact image of the Father manifest in His visible form! It’s not a son as humans think of a son being a male child. Jehovah is invisible, and when He makes Himself visible it’s the Son of God, nobody has seen the Father at any time (because He’s invisible) but the Son has declared Him (because the Son is the visible image of the invisible Jehovah). That’s why Jesus Christ says He is God in terms that the Jewws would understand, calling Himself I AM, saying He is one with His Father, and that is why they tried to kill Jesus for SAYING HE IS GOD!! Jesus is going to ask each of us “Who do YOU say that I am?”, and you’d better say He is who HE SAYS HE IS, and He says HE IS THE VISIBLE JEHOVAH. Read Genesis 18, that man that appears to Abraham, and Abraham knew it was THE LORD!!! Jehovah appears to Abraham as a man, and immediately Abraham knows it’s Jehovah, because that’s an Old Testament appearance of Christ, called a Christophany. The Jewws knew Jesus was saying He is their God. Why don’t you? Especially when that’s exactly why Jesus was crucified, for blasphemy, for saying He is Almighty God.

      @Robert Vann, and you’re a liar against God, because God cannot lie, and therefore He will never contradict His written word, and He says it was HIM they crucified, and Jesus says He is I AM, and I AM WHO I AM is English translation of the Hebrew Tetragrammaton YHWH, the eternal name of God. When you start trying to make Jesus a lesser God than the Father, that’s PAGANISM. Nowhere in scripture does it say the Father BIRTHED Christ spiritually. It says Jesus is EVERLASTING, and ALWAYS EXISTED WITH THE FATHER AND HOLY SPIRIT. They are ONE. You can’t have one and not the other. They all existed as ONE GOD from everlasting to everlasting, period. You can’t make up stuff that’s not in the Bible, saying the Father gave birth to Jesus, when the scriptures say Jesus ALWAYS EXISTED!

      @Robert Vann You have mistaken an insufficiency of semantics for an insoluble logic problem. You are wrong. Jesus pre-existed His INCARNATION. B'nai Elohim are sons of God created angels. Jesus always called Himself a Son of Man a TITLE. Also He is the Son of God a TITLE. Perhaps you also missed this: Genesis 3:15 and I put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He bruises your head, and you bruise His heel.” For all your cutesy funny faces you called all of us LIARS without sufficient reason. Look at that sentence carefully. Women have EGGS. Consistently in the Word SEED refers to sperm. Not only was Jesus the Messiah born of a virgin, there was something DRAMATICALLY different about His conception. MORE of His substance came from His Father Elohim than His mother Miriam (Mary) unlike any other birth ever. Adam and Eve were not "born" or "conceived" in the usual way either. And of course just because Jesus Yeshua came to earth human, fully human, did not mean He left any of His power, authority or infinite or any other part of His nature apart from Himself. Your "simple" explanation is inconsistent with scripture and dishonors God and His SON. Yeshua did not "come out" of His Father's Being, the part of this you are missing is THEY ARE and have always been ONE and the same. Because YOU and I are limited in time and cannot have existed prior to being born does not limit God Yahweh. I have a BODY a MIND (will and emotions) and a SPIRIT. So does God in whose image I am made. God is capable of doing unique events that happen only once. Of doing things we cannot fully comprehend. Pretending we have to limit God to what we can understand is not consistent with faith. I trust that God says what He means and MEANS what He says. I do not have to twist scripture or concepts from His Word to comfort my limited understanding. I try instead to mold my thinking to match the wonder and amazement of the full Word of God. By the way, my mother was a Troutt, that means I am fully accepted by her family. My father was a Smead. So I am fully accepted by his family. I do not have to pick one or consider myself half and half. Only people deep into DNA as somehow equal to full identity rather than limited blueprints for proteins believe that. People and their identity are more than a few genes. Psalm 139:13 For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.

      Dr. Heiser uses the words, "the Church" in a very protestant way when he talks about what's talked about in the church.
      I've read a couple of his books, including the Demons book in discussion with some prots reading along with me. Heiser's scholarship is outstanding, but his worldview is very protestant.
      I hope he gets to the point where he starts considering things from an Orthodox perspective seriously.

      _"Sometimes the Bible means when it says.”_
      Is a reference to Dr. Heiser's work on Divine Council theology, as well as Genesis 6.
      The former introduces ideas superficially incompatible with monotheism, thus are found to be unpalatable to many (?) of Jewish faith. The latter reveals the idea of Nephilim, "men of renown," human giants who were the offspring of copulation between fallen angels and the "daughters of men." As perhaps one may appreciate, much effortful twisting and turning in order to reinterpret this message has occurred over the years by those uncomfortable with this line of thought.
      Yet both ideas are right there, in the plain text of scripture. So, yes, sometimes the Bible means what it says. Speaking less tongue-in-cheek, the Bible _always_ means what it says.

    When I was growing up, sitting in church every Sunday, for as long as I can remember, I always viewed what I was hearing from the pulpit with suspicion. I always felt like there was something that I wasn’t being told, something that was being hidden from me, and that I wasn’t getting the full or correct story of the Bible. I think the main reason for that was because my world was blown at church camp one summer when I was about eight years old, when an event occurred that caused me to lose all faith in authority or “experts.” My parents and other adults had always taught me that there were no such things as monsters. But that reassuring truth I was taught was completely destroyed when I encountered a Sasquatch in the woods at church camp in California in the late 1960s. From that point on, every supposed expert was viewed by me with skepticism, and that holds true even today.
    But I hold Dr. Heiser in great esteem because he has broached the secrets of the Bible that no one else has either wanted to broach or had the brainpower to broach. Yet, with regard to Levitical laws having to do with blood, semen, etc., I still think Dr. Heiser is missing the mark a little.
    Since we know that the enemies of God hate humanity because we are created in God’s image, with his literal, divine DNA, we know that their ultimate goal is to destroy humanity and completely expunge the human race from Earth. The way they’ve been trying to do that all along is by corrupting the human genome, which contains the divine DNA of God The Most High. It’s the reason the Watchers mated with human women to create races of giants. It’s the reason, as the book of Enoch says, that Watchers were mixing species on Earth, creating hybrid monsters, of which I believe Sasquatch is one. It’s also the reason for the Great Flood, which was an attempt to remove all of the corrupted species from Earth, but which I believe ultimately failed.
    But the point is, by corrupting the DNA of humans, the Enemy could prevent the birth of the Messiah, whose blood (think DNA) was perfect and divine. Since that failed, the Enemy’s only recourse is to continue its goal of destroying humanity by destroying our God-given DNA.
    The reason blood, semen, disease, dead bodies, unclean (carnivorous) animals, etc., are mentioned and warned against all through the Bible is because those substances/creatures contain DNA. Especially blood and semen, which contain the most concentrated and highest-quality DNA.
    People have no clue how easy it is for your own DNA to be changed by coming in contact with the natural world. The saying is, when you have sex with someone, you’re also having sex with everyone they had sex with. Why do you think that is? Is it just a clever saying? Why does the Bible say that a man and woman who marry become one flesh and that this is a mystery? It’s because of DNA! Coming into contact with blood, semen, disease, wounds, even the foods we eat, changes our DNA!
    The modern field of study called Epigenetics confirms this. It states that correcting bad diet and bad behavior can heal a damaged gene within 3 to 4 generations. Isn’t it interesting that the Bible says, the sins of the fathers are visited upon the children to the third and fourth generation!
    The book of Leviticus, and other portions of the Torah, are God’s attempt to heal and protect his DNA within the human race. I very much suspect that the reason God chose Abram to be the progenitor of God’s people, is because Abram had the purest DNA of anyone on Earth at that time.
    It’s not just that “the life is in the blood,” it’s that divine DNA, the Creator’s blueprint for life itself, is in the blood! You wanna be closer to God, literally? Start living your life the way God instructs us in the Torah, and your DNA will become “cleaner,” less corrupt, with less disease, and then you’ll pass on cleaner DNA to your children.

      I agree to some extent of what you believe because the DNA stuff is something g I also have thought about, but remember Jesuschrist has completed the torah, fulfilled the law and also chekc this :
      Romans 14:14
      14 I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself.But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.
      The torah law was to set apart Israel from the other pagan nations, also all of it was a shadow of what was going to come (Yeshua Hamashiach) collosians 2:17 and hebrews 10:1
      But it is truth that the seed of the woman will be fighting against the seed of the serpent until the 2nd coming, but Christ already crushed Its head, and we Just need to continue fighting until Jesus comes back...
      But yeah, the enemy seems to be trying to do the same he did on noahs days, it is even possible that demonic creatures were create by them, but the blood of Jesus is more powerful and thanks to him we have power over this things thanks to God!

The fallen angels have been locked up in 7 mountains of magnificent stones far the east of the world until judgement day. These mountains are in my backyard in New Zealand, If you are a holy spirit filled Christian, and you have questions about the bible or the apocrypha, or you don't understand something, ask the lord to reveal what you want to know, the holy spirit is the great revealer of all things.

Good goo.y, such ignorance out there, listen to Jim Brown Truth and Grace ministries on utube, at least you can learn some truth from him. We got a bunch of stupid preachers these days, teaching a easy Jesus, teaching “accept Christ” that’s another lie, we cannot a Sovereign God, God calls us, God accepts us, and we are the demons, our flesh, this is demonstrated by the phase Paul the apostle said, greater is he who is in me than he who is without, our flesh is without. Evilness is sure enough true, God made both evil and good. God hates evilness, since he is in charge, he, Jehovah God, can do anything he wants, he made the vessels, some he has ordained for destruction, some he predestined for life everlasting, demons are peoples ancestors and their pagan gods. The devil and his angels live locked in Tartarus, until judgement, they are not floating around here, we are the demons, our flesh, demon is the word daimonions in Greek, daimonions gave out fortunes to themselves or someone else,,,, we do have a lot of lying fake preachers who cannot define one word of the Bible, they cannot tell you the mistranslation in the NT, they know knowing.
