The Unseen Realm #1

Wednesday Jan 17, 2024

Wednesday Jan 17, 2024

Folks with this episode we begin a series about the Unseen Realm, based on a book by Dr. Michael Heiser an Old Testament Christian Author.  Dr Heiser passed away recently.  His way of viewing the New Testament through the lens of the Old Testament is aligned perfectly with the basis for our podcast.   The apostle Paul says in Ephesians 6:12 that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but with the powers and principalities of the heavenly realms.  This understanding gives us all a new way to fight against the evil we see more and more today.  Understanding this idea begins in Genesis chapter 6, which is where this episode begins.  Enjoy!!

It seems that the times are actually getting short if what is happening in Israel comes to fruition. The saying: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" seems to be at work in a situation between two enemies, Israel and Saudi Arabia. But the more AMAZING thing, as if that weren't enough, is what this potential association could mean to the PLAN OF GOD! Mysterious and wonderful is HE!
