Who are the "gods" mentioned in the Bible, and how do they relate to the one true Creator? In this video, we dive deep into the biblical concept of the Divine Council and the spiritual realm to uncover the truth about the supernatural forces often hidden in plain sight within the scriptures.
We explore:
The distinction between the created "elohim" and the supreme, uncreated God of Israel.
How the ancient world understood the spiritual hierarchy.
The biblical narrative of the "gods" of the nations versus the authority of the one true God.
What this spiritual reality means for our faith and understanding of the unseen world today.
Join us as we look past the physical and into the divine order established in the Bible, grounding our study in scripture to see how God stands alone in His majesty and power.
