Dr. Shavie Discusses Nephilim and Genesis 6
In this podcast episode, Dr. Shavie delves into the topic of Nephilim and the intriguing events described in Genesis 6. He presents various viewpoints on the identity of the 'sons of God' mentioned in the passage and highlights the dominant historical belief that they were fallen angelic beings. Dr. Shavie provides counterarguments against alternative interpretations, including the idea that the 'sons of God' were godly men from the line of Seth. The episode also touches upon the significance of the Nephilim and their existence both before and after the flood, as well as how this topic intersects with Jewish and Christian writings throughout history.
The Debate Surrounding the Nephilim and Divine Council
The podcast delves into the debate surrounding the Nephilim, the offspring of the union between the 'sons of God' and human women. It explores the viewpoints of early church fathers and Jewish scholars who embraced the fallen angel view and believed that these heavenly beings, referred to as Elohim, interacted with humans. The discussion highlights textual evidence from Genesis 6 and explores how the divine council worldview helps understand the origins of the Nephilim and the presence of evil spirits in the Bible. It also recognizes the lack of explicit scriptural support for the theory that the Nephilim became the unclean spirits in the New Testament, acknowledging it as a matter of inference rather than conclusive biblical evidence.
Jesus quotes Psalm 82 to assert his divinity
In the podcast episode, the speaker discusses how Jesus quotes Psalm 82 to assert his divinity. When Jesus quotes the line 'I said, you are gods,' he is challenging the Jews in Jerusalem who want to stone him for claiming to be equal to the Father. By quoting this line, Jesus is implying that he is divine and not just another important figure like the people in the Old Testament who were called gods. This interpretation challenges the common understanding that Psalm 82 refers to judges or important figures in Israel's history.
Understanding the responsibilities of the 'Ben Elohim'
Another key insight discussed in the podcast episode is the responsibilities of the 'Ben Elohim' mentioned in Psalm 82. These 'sons of God' were not merely human judges, but spiritual beings with a specific role. They were supposed to judge justly and care for the oppressed, but they failed in their charge. As a result, the foundations of the earth were shaken and they were condemned to die like men. This understanding helps explain the severity of the flood and the conquest described in the Bible, as these spiritual beings were responsible for leading and guiding the nations, but instead led them astray. Knowing this can deepen our understanding of the spiritual battle and the importance of sharing the gospel as a means of resisting the forces of darkness.
