Episode notes
Genesis 6 Requires Its Ancient Backstory
- Michael Heiser frames Genesis 6 as part of a broader supernatural backstory that ancient readers assumed.
- That background explains why Second Temple Jews linked the 'sons of God' to human depravity and idolatry.
Three Rebellions Shape Biblical Evil
- Heiser organizes evil in scripture around three rebellions: Eden (Gen 3), the Watchers/Nephilim (Gen 6), and Babel (Gen 11/Deut 32).
- This three-rebellion framework shapes how demons, principalities, and national powers function across the Bible.
Demons vs. Territorial Principalities
- Heiser distinguishes demons (disembodied Nephilim spirits) from principalities (territorial sons of God assigned to nations).
- Principalities are higher-tier, geographical rulers who distort authority and promote idolatry among nations.
