Wow, thanks Matthew! That should definitely be helpful for folks that want to look into this.
To respond to some things Larry said earlier: Yes, I think that's the idea with the word 'elohim' - to classify something as a spiritual being. And yes, 1 Kings 22 definitely relates to this. If you look in the first set of notes Matthew posted, that passage is mentioned specifically.

I think that verse is translated wrong. The Hebrew word means congregation. biblehub.com/text/psalms/82-1.htmAlso with other "gods" Doesn't Jesus say something similar in John 10:34? "Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I have said you are "gods"'? " Maybe it's just a classification of identifying a creature as a spiritual being? Like how it was kind of mentioned in the bible project video? I disagreed with their interoperation of armor of God. It seems in the bible project video they presented "armor of God" as a metaphor and not a spiritual reality. Since that seems to be the truth based on Doug's videos and other people I've met or talked to. Edit: Please pray for me to know how draw closer to God and surrender all the way. Been wasting time with entertainment media because I don't know how to apply myself because I don't knw what I'm exactly supposed to be doing. Also maybe one part of me is afraid of what God is going to tell me. Explained this statement to a Christian couple I met at work and the wife said "God will tell you the truth, you may not want to hear it, but he does it out of love. (paraphrased) " (Analogy) I don't want to treat God like how you see people start a fire with rocks and trying to make a spark on wood. (Analogy Ends) Basically "do X and God will do X" Some people say just worship God by singing to him, some people say just read the bible, some people say pray in tongues, some people say fast, Doug says be quiet and listen and others have said try applying Isaish 58 (Don't know how to apply the spiritual part of that). Praying for you, I know what it's like to be partly afraid of what God may speak. But know that he works together all things for the good for those who loves him. Also Jeremiah 29:11. When he tells you something difficult and you're afraid or struggling to obey what helped me was continually going before him and ask him to help me desire his will above my own and to give me his strength to do what he's telling me to do. He's a good Father, he will help you with everything hes got to get you to where you need to be. Don't be afraid trust his heart towards you God bless 😊

Matthew here it is January 5, 2023. These things that Michael Heiser is teaching has been out there for quite some time. I suppose from the 90s because when you look at his images in some of these videos but he's much younger and hardly any gray and compare him to now where he looks like he's in the 70s this is not new information. What I know is happening is that God is bringing this knowledge out now because we are so close to the end and this helps us to understand what this whole thing is all about.
I commend you for these notes which I assume came from your sister? Regardless, here it is three years later and I would like to know where are you and your sister's thoughts on this whole thing right now. I would also like to know if you have a copy of all his "The divine council context" images that he uses in teaching and it's supernatural seminars.

Hey Nick! Just saw your reply. Michael Heiser went to be with Jesus a month ago. I think that he had some wonderful revelation to share with us that not many have had revealed to them. It puts things into perspective in regards to our own image and the state of affairs in the spiritual realm. Overall good guy, seemed to love Jesus 🙂 If you’d like, here’s a more recent Supernatural Seminar by Michael Heiser. Let me know if you come across this again. God bless you!
