I'm at the end, I'm gonna ask, okay, what are the, what are some implications? In other words, why does it matter? Right? Is it, does it affect us at all spiritually? Because this could just be kind of curiosity. And we could become spectators in this rather than trying to say, why does it matter? But having said that, that there'll be a time for q and a. I I also want, if there's a place I've just kinda lost you, stop me and ask, okay, go back and say that again. [00:04:39] (29 seconds)  #WhyItMatters Download clip

Because if I lost you, probably lost somebody else. So, I've been wrestling with this and so I may assume certain things and you may be like, you just seem like you went from point three to point six and I didn't get four and five. So I'm I'm not gonna be bothered if you wanna just stop me and, and ask some questions. So we're gonna, just go after it. So, I've been calling this three, spiritual rebellions.

So you gotta understand it in context, right? And so it's telling us there's one main god. And so, the the translators just make that decision. Okay? Elohim presides in the great assembly. He renders judgment among the Elohim. How long, now this is what what Yahweh Elohim, the big Elohim, says. How long will you, he's talking to these to these spiritual beings he's given assignments. How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked? [00:09:30] (32 seconds)  #ElohimInAssembly Download clip

And the Lord, Yahweh, regretted that he had made human beings on the earth. And his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord said, I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created. And with them, the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground, for I regret that I have made them. But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. So this is where the story of Noah begins because of this situation with the sons of God coming to the daughters of of of men, and the Nephilim being created. [00:17:01] (32 seconds)  #SethiteInterpretation Download clip

So the third view is that some of these Elohim, some of these angels, that are in the divine council, have somehow left their station and have taken on some kind of human identity. And they have come and, intermarried or at least mated with, with, human women. And so that's the third view. Now as wacky as that sounds, I'm telling you that's what the the scripture seems to be pointing to. So let's just take this third view, which I'm gonna focus in on. [00:20:39] (38 seconds)  #HeiserScholarship Download clip

So biblical support for these being the spiritual beings view. Okay? That the sons of God, the belly so the biblical support. We're gonna look at two things. One is where else do we see this or similar language used in the bible? And we're gonna say, does this view explain anything or clarify anything in the bible that we kinda like going, I don't know why they ever talked about that. Well, if this is true, now I know why they talk about that. Alright, So we're gonna try to do a and b. [00:22:57] (31 seconds)  #MorningStarsAndAngels Download clip

So Judah's writing and he says, for certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people. And he's trying to, he's trying to just say be on your, be on your lookout for these people. They're they're doing what they shouldn't be doing. And so he's he's now he's gonna give us an example like an analogy. And now he says that god will judge that, but that god will also protect those who are godly. He's gonna use the example here, and then of how God protected Noah. [00:28:57] (35 seconds)  #PeterAndOneEnoch Download clip

Verse six. And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority, but abandoned their proper dwelling. These he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting change for judgment on the great day. So I can't think of anybody who doesn't know, or I mean bible scholar who doesn't say, well that's pointing to back to Genesis six. Now here's the something. You can say, well, it could be something else. Well, you have any other any other antecedent for it? [00:29:32] (35 seconds)  #OneEnochWatchersNarrative Download clip
