The Divine Council Worldview

← All series

Scripture assumes a populated unseen world: real spiritual beings with real authority, a heavenly assembly, a rebellion, and a judgment—made from the biblical text itself.

7 Parts2 Published

This series makes the case for the divine council worldview from the biblical text itself—without leaning on 1 Enoch or on borrowed ancient Near Eastern mythology. Entries still in progress are listed so you can see where it’s going.

  1. Senses of “God” in Scripture—and Why You Must Understand Them In progress

    The linguistic groundwork: what the word god does and doesn’t mean across the canon, and why the distinction settles most of the argument.

  2. The Divine Council Worldview In progress

    The overview: what the divine council worldview is, where Scripture teaches it, and what difference it makes.

  3. The Uncontroversial Claims of the Divine Council Worldview

    May 25, 2026

    The claims that shouldn’t be controversial at all—built from plain texts rather than fringe readings of one or two debated ones.

  4. A Biblical Theology of the Nations, Their Gods, and Their Destiny In progress

    How the nations came to be allotted to lesser gods at Babel, and what Scripture says becomes of both.

  5. Angels, the Law, and the Gods of John 10:34–36 and Psalm 82 In progress

    The hardest texts in the discussion, worked through slowly.

  6. The Case for the Supernatural View of Genesis 6:1–4 In progress

    Why the sons of God are heavenly beings, and why the alternatives don’t satisfy the text.

  7. The Judgment of the Sons of God by the Sons of God

    April 3, 2025

    How the rebel gods are judged—and the startling answer to who does the judging.

Part of a larger topic. This series sits inside the Divine Council hub—where the published entries are gathered with the places the unseen realm surfaces elsewhere in my teaching.
