What is the Divine Council Worldview?

12 Affirmations of a Divine Council Worldview, an Introduction and Study

What is the Divine Council Worldview? is a biblical-theological work presenting twelve affirmations that introduce and explain the biblical reality of God’s heavenly assembly. At its heart is the confession that Yahweh alone is the uncreated Creator, sovereign over heaven and earth, distinct from all other spiritual beings. The book explores how Scripture portrays a divine council of elohim, the rebellion of certain council members, and God’s response in disinheriting the nations while choosing Israel as his covenant people.

Additionally, the book details how Jesus Christ has triumphed over rebellious powers, reclaimed authority in the heavenly realm, and will one day fully extend his Kingdom reign to earth. Along the way, readers are shown how heaven and earth mirror one another, why the church faces ongoing spiritual conflict, and how God’s final judgment will renew creation.

Each chapter will include an introduction to each of the twelve affirmations, a reflection on the necessity of each affirmation, and a study guide.
