The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible

by Michael S. Heiser

The odds are very high that you’ve never heard that Psalm 82 plays a pivotal role in biblical theology (including New Testament theology). I’ve been a Christian for over thirty years and I’ve never heard a sermon on it. There are many other passages whose content is curious or “doesn’t make sense” and so are abandoned or glossed over. Here’s a sampling of them: •Gen 1:26 •Gen 3:5, 22 •Gen 6:1–4 •Gen 10–11 •Gen 15:1 •Gen 48:15–16 •Exod 3:1–14 •Exod 23:20–23 •Num 13:32–33 •Deut 32:8–92 •Deut 32:17 •Judg 6 •1 Sam 3 •1 Sam 23:1–14 •1 Kgs 22:1–23 •2 Kgs 5:17–19 •Job 1–2 •Pss 82, 68, 89 •Isa 14:12–15 •Ezek 28:11–19 •Dan 7 •Matt 16:13–23 •John 1:1–14 •John 10:34–35 •Rom 8:18–24 •Rom 15:24, 28 •1 Cor 2:6–13 •1 Cor 5:4–5 •1 Cor 6:3 •1 Cor 10:18–22 •Gal 3:19 •Eph 6:10–12 •Heb 1–2 •1 Pet 3:18–22 •2 Pet 1:3–4 •2 Pet 2:4–5 •Jude 5–7 •Rev 2:26–28 •Rev 3:21 Don’t consider that a mere catalog. The list is deliberate, and all of those passages will be examined in this book.
