But first let me emphasize that I don't consider him a heretic and that he was right on several things, just not the things for which he was famous. That must have been a very dangerous place to be spiritually..
No, Not that "Divine Council", the 82nd Psalm occurs on earth. And 1st Kings 22 isn't the same thing either....
The 82nd Psalm is one of the two "go to" passages for Unseen Realm Theology, and Heiser didn't have it right....
His other keynote passage is Deuteronomy 32, and he did not have that one right either.
Scripture does not teach that the "Sons of God" are angels or spirit beings. The idea is based on a questionable translation of Job and the non-canonical and fraudulent "Book of Enoch".
The so-called "Book of Enoch" may have lifted a section of prophecy for its first page, but after that its nature is fanciful. The book may have drawn from a common belief system about demons found in scripture, but this does not make it scripture..
The NT passage warning us about "Do not delight in the religion of angels" is probably speaking about getting sucked into "Unseen Realm" type theology.
Unfortunately scholars with a low view of scripture took these ideas and made them even more non-sensical than they were to begin with.
Is there another view of "the Sons of God" and the Nephilim and the rest that makes sense of all of this?
There is, and I talk about it on my channel, but it isn't the standard take on early Genesis.
