EP063: John 4:1-26: Jesus & the Woman at the Well | The Divine Council Worldview Podcast Dr. Michael S. Heiser 2025-10-08 | In this episode, Ronn and Mike explore the story of the woman of Samaria in John chapter 4. They discuss the theological implications of faith and loyalty, responding to critiques of Matthew Bates' work on salvation. The conversation also describes the historical context of the relationship between Jews and Samaritans, highlighting the long-standing conflict and its roots in biblical history. They discover that the historical and cultural context of Samaritan worship is ultimately what is at stake in Jesus' concern for this conversation. In conclusion, the dialogue emphasizes the transformative nature of true worship and the understanding of Jesus' role in bridging cultural divides.If you have any questions to Ronn and Mike, feel free to send them to:questions.dcwp@gmail.comIf you have any suggestions to Mel and Rich, you can send them to:mel.divcw@gmail.commiqlatrich@gmail.comThanks again to Zac Davis for the music.

There is NO Subject More Important than the GOSPEL #bible #salvation #oldtestament #heiser Dr. Michael S. Heiser 2025-10-05 | There are just a lot of people who get absorbed in certain subjects, and then they struggle, and it harms them in many ways. They struggle with the whole faith and works thing. Can you defend your view of the rapture more readily than navigate the grace and works issue? If that's the case, that's sad. If you know more about the ashes of the red heifer or Gog and Magog than grace's superiority to the law, I pity you, because there's just nothing more important than understanding the gospel with clarity.

EP062: John 3:22-36: Baptism, Purification, and Gentile Sanctification | The DCW Podcast Dr. Michael S. Heiser 2025-10-03 | In this episode, Ronn and Mike explore the various themes present in John 3:22-36: righteousness, sin, Jesus’ atonement, the significance of baptism, and the acceptance of Gentiles into the family of Abraham. Ronn particularly introduces his understanding of the Holy Spirit’s “sanctification” of Gentile communities in the upcoming Book of Acts, recommending that this idea will satisfy so many of the tensions both in the ministry of Jesus and the growth of the later church. They conclude by emphasizing the importance of understanding the gospel in the context of Abraham family dynamics and the unfulfilled story of Israel.If you have any questions to Ronn and Mike, feel free to send them to:questions.dcwp@gmail.comIf you have any suggestions to Mel and Rich, you can send them to:mel.divcw@gmail.commiqlatrich@gmail.comThanks again to Zac Davis for the music.

EP061: John 3:1-21: The Nicodemus Interview | The Divine Council Worldview Podcast Dr. Michael S. Heiser 2025-10-01 | In this episode, Ronn & Mike explore Nicodemus' interview with Jesus as recorded in John 3:1-21. They discuss the possiblew misconceptions surrounding the Mosaic law, the Jewish expectations of what a messiah would accomplish, the nature of Jesus' teachings, and the meaning behind the term 'born again.' The conversation highlights the historical context of the Pharisees and their relationship with Jesus, as well as the broader themes of Gentile inclusion and understanding what kind of thought world Jesus would have shared with someone like Nicodemus.

Biblical Giants Were Tall for Their Time, Not Monsters #Bible #Giants #Nephilim #Heiser Dr. Michael S. Heiser 2025-10-01 | I don’t think for a minute that the biblical giants were 10-20-30 feet tall. I think they were (like today) 6-8 feet tall. The giants of the Bible were not unusually tall BY OUR STANDARDS. Based on human skeletal remains that have been recovered from the biblical period (and there aren’t many – they didn’t embalm, and less than 10% of the Holy Land has been excavated by any standard of thoroughness), the average male height was a few inches over five feet tall, with women shorter. This is typically around the world for ancient times. A great height was unusual. The average height in modern times is greater because of better nutrition, longer life spans, medical advances, etc. I personally don’t believe that the biblical giants were much over seven feet tall, which would have been HUGE compared to the norm (imagine walking into a settlement where 6-7 feet was the norm when everyone you knew was a foot shorter!). According to the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew OT, which has a slightly different text than the one Jews have used since the first century AD) and Dead Sea Scroll readings for the Goliath story, Goliath was actually 6 feet 6 inches (and for those who wonder, it is Og of Bashan’s COFFIN that measures around 12 feet, not Og – read Deut 3:11 – so we really don’t know how tall he actually was — I’d guess he’s within my proposed range).Learn more: drmsh.com/biblical-giants-and-dinosaur-bones#bible #giants #nephilim #oldtestament #heiser

Heiser 2025-09-30 | I don't know that I can find anything in the New Testament that does not have a background in the Old Testament.

Reading Scripture like an ancient Israelite, not a modern filter ✍️📖 #BiblicalStudies #ANE #Theology Dr. Michael S. Heiser 2025-09-28 | I tend to use commentaries to mine the footnotes to get to journal articles. So, for me, commentaries that engage the text plus journal articles are part of what I do in research. I will also use our software to create searches based on things I want to investigate in the text, along with Hebrew reference grammars. But that is all a means to an end: to translate the data in my head and then to others as biblical theology, rooted in the text. What I find in the text is always informed by the bigger (contextual – ancient Near East). My goal is to try to think about the text the way an Israelite would have thought about it — an Israelite informed by the wider culture, literature, and religion of the ancient Near East (i.e., the Israelite who wrote the material for his people and posterity). Not easy, but a better goal than looking to the 16th or 21st centuries to understand the text. If you’re going to do that, save yourself the time and just filter everything through a modern creed.Learn more: drmsh.com/all-commentaries-are-not-created-equal-part-4#bible #commentary #oldtestament
Ancient Israel & Polytheism? Why the Bible Writers Didn’t Embrace It #BibleStudy #Theology Dr. Michael S. Heiser 2025-09-28 | For those new to the discussion, my position is simple: Israelites in the ancient world believed lots of things about God, the gods, and the nature of those beings, including polytheism. However, I do not believe a textual case can be made that the biblical writers would have embraced polytheism, or that “orthodox Yahwism” was at one time polytheistic. That is the standard academic view–one that I objected to and undermined in my dissertation.Learn more: drmsh.com/all-commentaries-are-not-created-equal-part-4#bible #monotheism #oldtestament #heiser

Divine encounters: the true test of a prophet ✨📖 #Bible #Prophets #OldTestament #Heiser Dr. Michael S. Heiser 2025-09-25 | The way you legitimize whether a prophet is legitimate is if he has had a divine encounter. That is the litmus test for legitimacy in biblical theology to be a spokesperson for God. Jews were well aware of that, and some of those divine encounters were these throne room visions. When people (i.e., important rabbis) in their own religious tradition who were highly respected couch their own authority in the same types of visions, they were taken very seriously.Watch the full video: youtu.be/628RMjnDc-g#bible #prophets #oldtestament #heiser
EP059: Interview w/ Dr. Matthew Bates on Beyond the Salvation Wars | The DCW Podcast Dr. Michael S. Heiser 2025-09-24 | In this episode, Ronn & Mike welcome Dr. Matthew Bates back to the podcast to discuss his recently released book, Beyond the Salvation Wars. They discuss what the NT Greek word family of pistis indicates for how all peoples are to respond to the Gospel of King Jesus. They dive into the rifts between Protestants and Catholics, and the tensions amongst various different Protestant denominations and alliances regarding how we understand 'grace', 'faith', and 'works.' They conclude with their hope of the potential for greater Christian unity, not just amongst Protestants, but of the Western and Eastern arms of the Church and the way forward as we all grow in our understanding and appreciation of loyalty laid down before King Jesus.If you have any questions to Ronn and Mike, feel free to send them to:questions.dcwp@gmail.comIf you have any suggestions to Mel and Rich, you can send them to:mel.divcw@gmail.commiqlatrich@gmail.comThanks again to Zac Davis for the music.

EP058: John 2:23-25: Does Faith Include Loyalty? | The Divine Council Worldview Podcast Dr. Michael S. Heiser 2025-09-19 | In this episode, Ronn and Mike discuss the final three verses of John 2. This short passage allows their conversation to develop at length the concepts of “belief" and “faith” in both the Old Testament (Hebrew, aman) and the New Testament (Greek, pisteou). The study details the implications of Jesus' understanding of belief and loyalty when it comes to his expectation of “following” him into eternal life. Along the way they emphasize the importance of viewing faith as an expression of loyalty rather than as a passive acceptance of Jesus’ work on the cross, in the end critiquing modern theological interpretations of faith.If you have any questions to Ronn and Mike, feel free to send them to:questions.dcwp@gmail.comIf you have any suggestions to Mel and Rich, you can send them to:mel.divcw@gmail.commiqlatrich@gmail.comThanks again to Zac Davis for the music.

EP057: John 2:13-22: Jesus & the Law | The Divine Council Worldview Podcast Dr. Michael S. Heiser 2025-09-17 | In this episode, Ronn and Mike discuss Jesus’ cleansing of the Temple in John 2:13-22. They use this opportunity to then talk through the complexities of the Old Testament law, its interpretation within evangelicalism, and the historical context of the temple's significance. Their discussion highlights how Jesus' fulfillment of the law is often misunderstood and emphasizes the importance of cultural context in understanding biblical texts that deal with the challenges of how to understand biblical law in the modern age. They conclude by exploring the relationship between God’s giving of law and his desire to form a family which, in the end, does not need law in order to function.If you have any questions to Ronn and Mike, feel free to send them to:questions.dcwp@gmail.comIf you have any suggestions to Mel and Rich, you can send them to:mel.divcw@gmail.commiqlatrich@gmail.comThanks again to Zac Davis for the music.

Some pastors dont want you to ask questions Dr. Michael S. Heiser 2025-09-08 | Pastors should be honest about why they have their positions. There are historical and social reasons why they have their positions that could be not be entirely based on the biblical text. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but we should be honest about it.

Sanctification = Becoming Like Jesus, the True Image of God #Bible #Image #Genesis #Heiser #Faith Dr. Michael S. Heiser 2025-09-08 | Theologians are like, “progressing toward holiness.” Okay, technically, linguistically, that's how you would say that, but let's just be real. Sanctification is the process of becoming more like Jesus. It's the process of imaging Jesus—imitating him—imaging Jesus, which, of course, is also imaging God. It's becoming more godly. It's becoming the kind of person that God wants you to be because he created you to image him, and he gave you his son. Yes, so that you could have eternal life for what happened on the cross, but he also… I've talked several times about how Christ is referred to as the image of God—the express image of God— and that we are being conformed to the image of his son—God's son. Jesus is the template for how to live.Learn more: miqlat.org/the-image-of-god.htm#bible #image #genesis #heiser

EP054: John 1:29-51: How Did Jesus Take Away the Sin of the World? | The DCW Podcast Dr. Michael S. Heiser 2025-09-05 | In this episode, Ronn and Mike discuss John 1:29-51, especially noting how Jesus would be the “lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (1:29). They begin by interpreting Old Testament “atonement” (Hebrew, kaphar) texts within their original context. They note how the practice of sacrifice across the ancient world was often accompanied by symbolic acts of “sanctification” as a person prepared to come into the presumed presence of a deity. This is what Jesus would do in his death, claimed John—he would cleanse not only the loyal Israelite, but anyone in the world who would put his faith in Jesus.If you have any questions to Ronn and Mike, feel free to send them to:questions.dcwp@gmail.comIf you have any suggestions to Mel and Rich, you can send them to:mel.divcw@gmail.commiqlatrich@gmail.comThanks again to Zac Davis for the music.

EP053: John 1:19-28: How is Jesus the Messiah? | The Divine Council Worldview Podcast Dr. Michael S. Heiser 2025-09-03 | In this episode, Ronn and Mike study John 1:19-28, noting how John the Baptist’s story was pivotal in understanding Jesus’ identity. They discuss how John’s prophetic ministry faced resistance from Jewish leadership, how John’s practice of baptism functioned as an act of allegiance in early Christianity, and how the concept of a “messiah” (even “the messiah”) evolved in both the Old and New Testaments. Their conversation emphasized the importance of understanding the cultural background of the first century for all aspects of biblical interpretation, especially as it relates to defining the role and identity of Jesus.If you have any questions to Ronn and Mike, feel free to send them to:questions.dcwp@gmail.comIf you have any suggestions to Mel and Rich, you can send them to:mel.divcw@gmail.commiqlatrich@gmail.comThanks again to Zac Davis for the music.

Targums Add More Than Translation 📜 Extra Material Without Hebrew Support #Bible #Targums #Heiser Dr. Michael S. Heiser 2025-09-03 | Targums can be very elastic translations, adding material quite freely with no Hebrew manuscript evidence at all. Everyone who does Aramaic knows this about the Targums-they can play pretty fast and loose with the text of the Bible; they INSERT all kinds of things into the translation, without regard to any prior textual manuscript history for support. IN plain language, the Targums often add made-up material to the biblical text.Learn more: drmsh.com/was-cain-fathered-by-the-devil-no-wait-extraterrestrials#bible #targums #oldtestament #heiser

Stop presuming its your preaching that sanctifies people #bible #preaching #pastors #sermons Dr. Michael S. Heiser 2025-08-29 | Stop presuming it's your preaching that sanctifies people. It's the Spirit of God that sanctifies people. It's not your preaching. Your job is to tell people the truth of scripture, not to turn people into what they ought to be. Only the Spirit of God can do that and prompt people to make decisions about their behavior. It’s part of sanctification. Sanctification is assisted when you tell people the truth about how they should live. People need to hear that, but I think preachers can get trapped into feeling like failures themselves, and then they sort of go overboard in one direction. They feel like failures when their people aren't godly. Learn more: miqlat.org/whats-the-gospel.htm
