Join Geoff Stroud as he explores how the New Testament writers—such as Paul, Peter, Jude, John, and James—understood the unseen realm, divine council theology, and the cosmic spiritual war based on their Second Temple Jewish context and the Holy Spirit.
Key Topics Covered:
The Divine Council (Genesis 1:26 & Psalm 82): Why “Let Us make man in Our image” refers to Yahweh and His heavenly assembly of created spiritual beings rather than standard Trinitarian interpretations.
The Three Great Rebellions of Genesis:
The Fall of Man (Genesis 3): Temptation, human autonomy, and the entry of death.
The Corruption of the Watchers (Genesis 6 & Book of Enoch): Heavenly beings leaving their proper domain to mate with human women, producing the Nephilim, as highlighted by Peter and Jude.
The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11 & Deuteronomy 32:8-9): Corporate human rebellion leading to God disinheriting the nations and assigning lesser divine beings to watch over them.
The Domain of Satan: Clearing up misconceptions about Satan’s fall, examining Revelation 12, and understanding the ongoing territorial warfare against dark principalities and powers.
Resurrection Hope & New Jerusalem: Clarifying that the ultimate hope of the believer is not disembodied floating in heaven, but physical resurrection, the redemption of our bodies, and the restoration of Earth when New Jerusalem descends (Revelation 21–22).
End-Time Prophecy: A look at Revelation 13, the second beast, and keeping spiritual discernment open in the days preceding Christ’s return.
