Also consider purchasing my book, “The Ark of the Covenant in its Egyptian Context: An Illustrated Journey.” Available now through most major book retailers.

We are raising funds for a new book project on the “Ten Plagues of Egypt.” In this book, we plan to delve into the Egyptian culture context of the plagues of the Exodus so as to discover what those plaques would have meant to the Egyptians.

I forget who said that many people mistakenly believe the opposite of God is the satan. However, the opposite of the satan is more probably the Arkangel, Michael.

God has no opposite in the sense that there is no force equal to and opposed to God. As Dr. Falk said, "God wins and He keeps winning."

So the words they’re kind of like a bunch of rebellious teenagers

Such a great way to word this. Especially because it’s easy for very minor changes in understanding of this sort of thing can get you lost in the sauce

I like Heiser's work, i have to admit that after listem to him, the argument that the line of Seth is the sons of God and the line of Cain being the sons of man is indeed inferior to the Angels one

God give us grace to stay loyal to the Lord.

Sure, this is more prevalent in the Agaddah, The Legends of the Jews by Louis Ginzberg and Richard Elliot Friedman really talks about this in one or more of his books Who Wrote the Bible and his book on Exodus.

I would also say its not just a Heiserite view. Patrick Miller back in 2000 in his "the religions of ancient Israel" talks about this theology being very present in the earliest stages of Israelite religion.

After i learned from Dr Falk that pagan 'gods 'elohim needed sacrafice, ritual, etc, to 'feed'them

I immediately connected this to the idea of the great commision .

God doesn't need to go directly to war with other elohim but . He can mass convert their followers and weaken them.

Yhwh after all did say that the ancient near eastern God's would die like mere men.

Now their temples are in the history books

[nothingnothing]

I think it's just theological that the Christian God has to compete with the false non existent gods for converts.

Yeah they either think they can win, or they know they can't win in the end, so they are just playing a game of attrition, kicking the can down the street

Yahweh has an F-14 Tomcat and the gods have A6M Zeroes. Brownie points for getting the reference,

[deiansalazar]

Any idea if this is hinted to in different mythologies or covered up in a way where it's clear they're referencing him?

Fun fact: If you inflict lethal head trauma onto a reptile, it’ll tend to flail about for a while before it completely expires. These are death throes.
It seems to me that the enemy has been engaging in death throes for a long time.
Organized, formidable death throes. But they’re already dead, pretty much. Done deal.
