Theopolis VS. Heiser — Who’s Right?
This video explores the theological conversation between Dr. Michael Heiser’s Divine Council Worldview and Christopher Kou’s review for Theopolis Institute, showing how both perspectives ultimately point toward the same supernatural and sacramental vision of reality. Heiser and Theopolis share more common ground than disagreement—each affirming the Divine Council as a real biblical concept, a heavenly assembly under God’s authority, and each placing Christ as its reigning head. This worldview demonstrates how we can restore the wonder lost to modern materialism, portraying the cosmos as alive with God’s presence and humanity as participants in Christ’s rule. Along the way, we examines topics like the nature of the “gods” in Psalm 82, the meaning of Genesis 6 and the Nephilim, and the role of 1 Enoch in Second Temple Jewish thought, urging discernment without dismissing historical context. Ultimately, believers are called to recover an enchanted faith—one that sees Scripture as a living, supernatural story of Christ’s victory over the rebellious powers and his ongoing reign over heaven and earth.
The Unseen Realm Expanded Edition: Myths, Mysteries, and Majesty (3M)
The Unseen Realm: Expanded Edition presents an exploration of the Bible’s supernatural worldview, uncovering how ancient concepts of divine beings, spiritual rebellion, and cosmic order reveal the majesty and sovereignty of God. It examines themes such as the divine council, the origin and nature of the Nephilim, and the continuity of supernatural conflict from Genesis through Revelation. The book draws comparisons between biblical and ancient Near Eastern cosmologies, clarifying that while mythological parallels exist, Scripture uniquely discloses the one true God whose authority encompasses heaven, earth, and the unseen realm. It also highlights traces of Trinitarian thought in the Old Testament, the multifaceted nature of atonement, and the theological meaning of celestial order as a reflection of divine governance. Through these studies, The Unseen Realm reclaims the ancient biblical perspective that all creation—visible and invisible—is ordered under Christ, whose lordship extends beyond time, space, and every spiritual power.
