For those who have the Divine Council world view understanding of scripture, I have a thought exercise for you.

First for context - key scripture/verse:

“When [El-yon] gave to the nations their inheritance,

when he divided mankind,

he fixed the borders of the peoples

according to the number of the sons of God [Bene Elohim].

But the Lord’s [YHWH] portion is his people, Jacob his allotted heritage.”

- Deut 32:8–9

Those sons of God rebelled, here is their judgement;

"God [Elohim] has taken his place in the divine council;

in the midst of the gods [Elohim] he holds judgment"

- Psalm 82:1

Then sentenced;

I said, “You are gods [Elohim],

sons of the Most High [El-yon], all of you;

nevertheless, like men you shall die,

and fall like any prince.”

- Psalm 82:6–7

It’s ‘common understanding’ that here YHWH and El-yon are the same being.

But what if they’re not?

Deut says El-yon divided mankind to the sons of God (70) and YHWH.

And all sons of God rebelled…. except YHWH..?

What if YHWH isn’t who we think (or are lead to believe) He is?

Jesus came to save mankind!

We see in Rev 5 a scroll that no one can open…

“Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”

But Jesus is!

“the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David,

has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”

What if this scroll is the contract of humanity that only Jesus, through fulfilling YHWH’s laws allows him to reclaim mankind!

Before the final take down of the enemy (Satan), a 3rd temple is to be built and they will be seated in the temple declaring themselves God! (2 Thea 2:1-4)

Who demanded the 1st and 2nd temple?

Who told us that we’re now His temple?

Is there a pattern for who would be in the 3rd?

There is also to be a great final deception.

What greater deception than to have everyone worshipping the WRONG God!

There is so much more.

But I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Unfortunately, I'm a new Christian and this is all so confusing. I pray that my faith in Jesus as my Lord and savior obliterates the great deception that has created a world full of sympathy for the devil. Beyond this, I am clueless.

100% bro.

As a new believer, the best thing to do is read the Gospels and get to really know what Jesus did and said - suggest to start with John.

I always start by asking the Holy Spirit to help me understand and bring to light His word.

When you are ready to dig deeper, highly recommend you read Dr Michael Heisers book 'The Unseen Realm', or there is also a smaller version called 'The Supernatural' - I prefer the former as it goes into great detail. It will open your eyes the cosmic war we're all apart of that is seen from Genesis to Revelation.

Please do check out the link in the bio for recommended watching/reading to help dive deeper. None are affiliate links, I have them there purely for reference/recommendation purposes.

God bless!

Thanks Caleb. I appreciate the recommendations.
