Questions
1. (1:14) Why did God allow The Satan to live in the Garden of Eden, even if it was in rebellion against Him?
2. (5:22) What are the seraphim? Why do you call seraphim “snakes” instead of “burning ones?”
3. (13:06) Wasn’t The Satan named Lucifer? Where did the name “Lucifer” come from?
4. (19:22) Why do you say “The Satan” instead of just “Satan?” Why did translators leave out the “The” when translating the Bible?
5. (24:42) When the world was created, God said it was “good.” Why did you say The Satan brings creation back into chaos and death in the video?
6. (29:10) How can the sons of God have sexual relations with human women if they are spiritual beings? Do spiritual beings have reproductive organs?
7. (40:01) What are the Nephilim and where did they come from?
8. (42:47) How do humans participate in the evil we see in the world?
9. (44:47) Why did you end the video with Jesus being overtaken by evil?

About 45 mins in he talks about the sons of God being celestial beings. Not so. The 10 verses in the NKJ never talk anout divine beings. He is assuming and in any case the bible never talks about Angels sining. Up to this point in the talk/cast he mentioned good points about Lucifer etc being just a man. Shame it all goes wrong for me anyway when talking about sons of God. They are just men. Men who sadly took women outside the truth. Those who have no faith. Galatians 3:26 NKJV — For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Unlean the tradition of men. Stick to the word. Just because Angels came in the form of man doesn't mean they have sex with man. Do a study on male and female in the kingdom. No sex. No need for sex. All one. Well after the millennium anyay for sure.

What church/denomination is this youtube page?
Read THE UNSEEN REALM, By Dr. Michael Heiser. Great read!
Translators shouldn't add nor take away, just translate to either proper strict labguage or conversational language. The removal of "Ha" (The) has led ignorant People to think that Ha Satan is different to Satan. Both words should have been translated though, to "The Enemy."
Love, Peace & Truth 💯✝️🕊
Thank You so much, My Brothers!!! You are both true lucifers, Bearers of Christ's Light 💯✝️🕊
The "planets" are just Stars too, Moving Stars, the rest are Fixed Stars, same every year and always has been and always will be, Creation is always vibrating but always stationary, impossible. Research Witsit Gets It.
So were Flying Snakes (perhaps Dragons) Earthly Animals or Heavenly Spiritual Beings?
No reason to label tohubohu as an undesirable state.
Is this fellow Tim Macky gay by any chance?
This is now one of my absolute favorite videos on the internet.
I can't begin to put into words, how healing and wonderful, these works of information have been in my life.
I haven't listened to this all the way through just yet but it popped into my mind as i was listening as to how similar the story of Adam and Eve could be in relation to Job. I mean, what if the serpent was basically like the one who went before God and said hey, let me test these 2 and see what they do. Not exactly like that but I think you get the point. I absolutely ❤the story of Job. It's my favorite book. The chapter 38 and beyond especially. I read that when i have questions and need to humble myself because if that don't stop you in your tracks then I just don't know what to say. 😊

Love this!
I found a different interpretation based on the early Church fathers closer to the time of the apostles: The early Church Fathers generally understood the “sons of God” to be the offspring of Seth, the righteous son of Adam, whereas “daughters of men” are understood be the offspring of Cain, the immoral son of Adam. Thus, “fallen ones” could be understood as the fruit of succumbing to the corrupt Cainite culture.
In his book A Father Who Keeps His Promises, Scott Hahn elaborates further on the general position of the Fathers:
When people began to multiply on the face of the earth, “the sons of God,” that is, the Sethite men, were seduced by the beauty of “the daughters of men,” that is, the Cainite women. The beauty of the wicked proved stronger than the resolve of the righteous. Sethite men found a new forbidden fruit, the beautiful but ungodly Cainite women, to be irresistible. And they didn’t just marry them; “they married as they chose,” which might imply that, along with mixed marriages, polygamy had now also entered into the line of Seth, the covenant family of God. Thus, violent men were born. When left unchecked, sin becomes institutionalized. In every age of salvation history, sexual immorality and violence go hand in hand, triggering the hard remedy of God’s judgment in the form of the covenant curses. And nothing institutionalizes sin more than marital infidelity. The whole culture gets clobbered, especially the children. And afterward only a remnant survives, barely.
Hahn adds that Nephilim can also be translated as “tyrants,” violent men who want to make a name for themselves and will do whatever it takes to achieve it.
The type of background music you chose is very distracting
Demon and fallen angels are different. Chuck Missler is right to say that he wouldn't presume to know the technology available to fallen angels.
I heard that "burning ones" could also mean "shining ones".

Thank you so much for this video Q and R. Definition is so important and so is how it is being used so that we will not be misled. Keep it up guys..TY
The Seraphims had legs, wings and 4 faces- so like a human form- so , is it then that the "snake" that spoke to Eve was actually a Seraphim ? as in one of the creatures that tend to the Throne of GOD ? and how come you are putting the snake as both Cherubim and Seraphim when in the visions they are treated as two different creatures with different functions
I love this format of video, in which I can see you guys while “podcasting”. Thanks!
Thank you very much guys!
So grateful to have a study companion.
Great! and informative listen…so many questions answered, even questions I didn't know I have. Thanks so much ☺
thanks
The closer I get to living according to what I feel God is requesting of me, "The Satan" attacks me more and more intensely regarding depression and overwhelming suicidal desire.
I'm struggling… because so much of what I have been taught was true regarding the Bible is being shown to be untrue. Even from the very Bible itself in my own language. Its making things very difficult for me to the point of wondering what other possibly very impertient information was truly lost in something as trivial as translation.
As a Bible teacher in training, I’m reluctant to say a lot about demons and evil. I don’t want to discourage them but our pastor gives this as a warning that after they are baptized, evil will attack you with a vengeance! As a non- Christian, many people deny that there are any demons and evil entities. Until…you get to where Jesus removes demons from people in the New Testament. Then you wonder about the evil, destructive temper that you see, is that a demon in that person? If someone has a serious, terrible disease…is that from a demon? Then you realize that you need to pray all the time. Help me Jesus and protect me from evil. 😢
Africans = Humans
European/Eurasian Neanderthal Descendants (White Race) = The Satan, The Devil, The Snake, Demons, etc
Europeans Raped African Women = Nephilim
Babylon = United States
So the Strong's Concordance is an older dictionary?
It's saying the same thing as your newer Hebrew?
I see there are many comments, I'm not sure if anyone has noted this before… But I like that Satan… Is demoted to the satan.. because it falls in line with the end of revelation in regards to those names not found in the Book of Life… Or in Psalms 69 when they talk about names being erased from the Book of Life ..
Wow my mind has been transformed.
It is very interesting where AI is going.
Hooold up, since when did jesus have siblings!?!? 🤯
It was so much easier to think there was a bad guy call Lucifer who caused all these problems. Now that is blown out of the water….
Paging a real Jewish education-
I have questions on spirit and hell.I want to know about the human spirit

Love you guys! God is so proud!
the whole demons having sex with human women story is so disturbing.
I really enjoy this kind of discussion. Thank you and more please.
Would have liked to see you explain how the Nephelim, like Nimrod, survived the Flood. And maybe how the Anakim are decended from them.
The Biblical story is like a superhero book or film but so much cooler. So much drama, rebellion, confrontations and wars. I bet the story is with the happy end 🙂 I'm trying to convince myself that it's all true, cause it sounds so phantastic!
