? It is finished ✨ John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Joe, I don't see where you get that he agreed with a word that he states very clear is not correct. The only way in Hebrew to get nephilim from naphal by the rules of Hebrew morphology (word formation) would be to presume a noun spelled naphil and then pluralize it. I say "presume" since this noun does not exist in biblical Hebrew. There’s a lot said and written about the word nephilim. I know it may sound incredible, but practically all of it is wrong—even what’s written by Old Testament scholars. It’s a case of one scholar parroting what the scholar before him or her has said, and so on down the line. If you’re not a Hebrew scholar, have no fear. You’ll be able to understand this. You’ve probably accepted the idea that the word nephilim is simply the masculine plural participle of Hebrew naphal. It isn’t. As you read, ask yourself a fundamental question: Have I ever asked myself why the typical explanation that nephilim comes from Hebrew naphal doesn’t jive with Hebrew morphological patterns for a masculine plural participle in any stem? Now, this is plain to me that Dr. Heiser like me do not agree that this word is from the Bible. It does not match up with the correct word at all nor it the Hebrew masculine plural participle or in any of its stem. So if it is not Hebrew, it has been added and the Bible said clearly not to add or subtract! It is a made up word and he also said that angels did not mate with flesh beings. I agree! I also state clearly that angels are not a male that word mean masculine sex organs. They have four faces an ox, MAN LIKE, lion, and finally an eagle with feet like a calf. They do not look like YAHWEH, we do, so, just simply explain how these strange created beings could mate with flesh beings. They also are not called by YAHWEH, HIMSELF any of them HIS son. Now with reason and being rational explain, I am willing to listen! So you will be clear: 1. Dr Heiser and I agree the word nephilim is not a Hebrew word, 2. Angels could not mate with flesh, 3. Angels have a man-like face and they have more beast faces: Ox, lion, and eagle with calf feet, 4. Which is the greatist: YAHWEH states very clear HE has never called any angel HIS son! Blessings!

It appears that this "prophecy" will not come to pass unless it happens in the next 3 or 4 days (unlikely).

Of all the things that must happen before the conflict is over, Jesus especially emphasized one. He said that the gospel, the true picture of God, must go to the whole world before the End will come (Matt 24:14; Mark 13:10). We can trust God to wait until His children all over this planet have […] The post The Gospel and the End (19:4) appeared first on Jon Paulien's Blog. View the full article

I respect him on his knowledge of the Hebrew grammar but not on everything. Why? Because he does not accept a worldwide flood when Bible said it happen. He does not believe in the Commandments, I disagree on his view of THE THREE ALMIGHTY ELOHIYM when he does make references to the true fact. Not only IsraEL, but ancient people have always believe in more than one deities. Matter of fact historically all ancient people had three high deities. Later on they begin to add on more deities that of lesser power and evil being also. I agree with Dr. Heiser that neither Abraham nor IsraEL was monotheistic which gives you this three gods in one concept. That came from the Aryan or Iran people known in ancient time as Persia! We got it from the Greeks who incorporated all belief systems into their theology which is the study of Zeus or the logic take your pick! I also love how he use THE NAME YAHWEH a lot even in his speeches! When I look at many of what these Bible scholars are stating; I look and see does it relate to the Bible or deviate. Many deviate many of their studies and knowledge. I know one thing if they don't believe in Creation of the Bible, the flood, Nimrod and not a tower that was struck down, the truth about the Afrikan namely the Phonecians and all of the Canaanites and that the Hebrews who are Chaldeans spoke the Phoenicians/Canaanites language and most of all the Commandments; then they will not be completely correct or truthful about everything and that's a fact! Blessing!

I am at work and a call came in why I was making my correction. Again forgive the grammar mistakes. I work at home so I have a headset on and take my calls! Peace!

Joe states: "Dr Heiser ... has a very open mind that is not restricted to traditional theology." I am not here for theology because I do not believe the logic of the Greek deities, which is what that word actually means. What I accept is his understanding of the Hebrew grammar simplified and the truth about the non Hebrew word Nephilim! https://blog.logos.com/2017/11/who-or-what-were-the-nephilim/ The above blog does not actual give you complete understanding of what Dr Heiser is stating. I provided Dr. Heiser actual information he gave on logos.com: Who (or What) Were the Nephilim? - LogosTalk You will not understand it until you read the facts. He makes it very clear that Gen 6:1-4 are not the mixing of angels and flesh beings. However, he does think that angels have sex organs because of his misunderstanding that YAHSHUA Said angels do not marry in Heaven. That is very simple to me angels live in Heaven and they don't marry, why they are not created to marry. Which means they do not procreate. An order to procreate you must be both male and a female angels with their sex organs. Angels have a face like a man but also have three other faces like animals with true animal hoof's. They are not even made like us at all. They are also spirit beings ,we are not in anyway. Satan has us so very confused about this. This is part of the problem and it all have to do with the false views of the soul and death. We are living souls angels are living spirits and we all need to understand water and oil don't mix neither do do spirits and flesh. We are different types of beings that have been created. Flesh beings were created in THE ALMIGHTY ONES IMAGE and THEIR LIKENESS angels were created as spirit beings, THE ALMIGHTY ONES are also SPIRIT BEINGS, we are not! Before sin Satan had THEIR CHARACTER just like the Adams. Satan lost THE ALMIGHTY ONES CHARACTER, when we fail we did too, but we can now receive THEIR CHARACTER again, with the renewing of our mind, through THE POWER of THE HOLY SPIRIT! HE IS A SPIRIT BEING that never speaks about HIMSELF, this is what YAHSHUA Stated in the Bible. When both YAHSHUA and the angels present themselves before flesh beings since sin, the appear like male. But YAHSHUA and the angels have the power to look like us, but they are still spirit beings not flesh. This is what Dr. Heiser believe as most Biblical scholar including SDA. We should know better since we suppose to understand the soul can die. A spirit being cannot just die like a flesh being, it can only be destroyed by its CREATOR! Everlasting Fire can destroy anything for good including the angels! Ezekiel and John gave a complete description of the angels, the Bible also provides that they were created be around THE ALMIGHTY ONES who has GREAT UNKNOWN OF POWER that is greater than all the stars in the Universe. Angels were made to stand before THEM WITH THEIR POWER. These being also have power that appear to us like a star, yet we do not get it. But the true description of them is they have four faces so if they would have mated with flesh beings, imagine how these things would look like. This totally crazy we have understand how these angels really look. Ancient carvings show a lion with wings, an eagle with wings and a bull with wings. Matter of fact, the bull or ox look so evil like the Minotaur and Satan depicts himself as a huge bull ox, deep red with huge curved horns and ox feet. Notice this creature can talk and has this huge pitchfork. Again, Satan shows you only a part of him and what he really looks like minus the pitchfork! Have you read Eze Chapter 1? Closing: I take this very serious and I am deeply concern about those who look over the description of the angels, when they speak concerning Gen 6:1-4. It is a misconception until you look at the whole picture and put all of the pieces together; "line upon line and precept upon precept, here little and there a little" Blessings!

"Well Respected" meaning that because someone has a PhD that we automatically agree? I don't think so. Too much of that going on in our world already. I simply stated an opinion of the article. I found the article very dis-jointed, the thoughts not well-connected, and a hermeneutic that really just seems to confuse the whole topic. I sometimes think people should dispense with the gibbering about their PhDs and other "qualifications." It would be nice if people just focused on the scriptures and what they mean. His virtue-signalling means nothing to me. I hate to break it to you but there's no such thing as an "expert" in Bible study. The simplest, and least educated person can often understand the Bible much better than "educated" people. As I said; I actually did read the entire article before commenting, and it drew a blank. Its a shallow, out of context article that seems to lose itself in opinions, rather than solid Biblical hermeneutics. I am not clear on just what good it would do for me to venture any further on this. Sometimes its just better to state an opinion and then let others see for themselves. I know that I am not the only one here who would concur.

I also know someone with a missing thumb and first finger, so he would have to use his middle finger! lol
