What does the Bible really tell us about the heavenly host?
Everyone knows that angels have wings, usually carry harps, and that each of us has our own personal guardian angel, right? We all have some preconceptions about angels from movies, television shows, and other media, but you might be surprised to know that a lot of those notions aren't based on anything from the Bible. If you read Luke 1:26-38 and imagine the angel Gabriel standing before Mary with neatly folded white wings, you're not getting that picture from anything the Bible itself says. What the Bible really says about angels is overlooked or filtered through popular myths. This book was written to help change that. It's a book about the loyal members of God's heavenly host, and while most people associate them with the word angel, that's just one of many terms the Bible uses for supernatural beings. In The Unseen Realm, Michael Heiser opened the eyes of thousands to seeing the Bible through the supernatural worldview of the ancient world it was written in. In his latest book, Angels, Dr. Heiser reveals what the Bible really says about God's supernatural servants. Heiser focuses on loyal, holy heavenly beings because the Bible has a lot more to say about them than most people suspect. Most people presume all there is to know about angels is what has been Read More chevron_rightIt takes about 4 Hours and 43 minutes on average for a reader to read Angels: What The Bible Really Says About God's Heavenly Host.

The fact is, according to Mark Haddon, "God is Sovereign." Or, he may have a man-centered definition of Sovereignty. I am on page xvii and I noticed it didn't take the author very long to get down to man's level of sovereignty. The second line says, "Disrupted." The Harrisons did not enter the courtroom until after 9:30 a.m. Paul wrote, "The Lord's sovereignty is man-centered." Everytime I read comments like this, I could scream. He added that the "God the author serves isn't the God I want to serve." He added that he wanted his God to be sovereign in the "absolutitude" sense, not limited in any sense. He also quipped that I can get a jar of whiteout and cover this sentence. I am certain that before I finish reading the book that there will be plenty more digressions'' by God, he added.

Read the Unseen Realm and you won’t have to read any other books by Dr. Heiser
Derived From Web , Oct 17, 2018
Dr. Heiser will be the last book i buy from him. When you reference your own previous mocks too often, you need new material. Supernatural and the Unseen realms overlapped as well. His books say the same thing. It's just that he was trying to force certain things down our throats, like force-feeding us with divine council. Because, we're not British. If it doesn't say divine council why must we assume God is assembled in His council, Michael Rule told The Age. It's almost as difficult to read as "The Lord of the Rings" by George Hunter.

As always, Dr. Heiser translates theology in a way we all get ...
Derived From Web , Sep 30, 2018
Dr. Heiser's books are well worth the read. He seems to be able to take difficult concepts that are usually limited to the understanding and background of gifted scholars and makes them available for all, Raymond said. Since then he has published several others, including the megahit THE SUPERNATURAL, REVERSING HERMON, 60 SECOND BIBLE SCHOLAR SERIES that have been a hit and home run for me. I have learned to hear scripture like a scholar without even knowing the Latin alphabet. These books by Dr. Heiser are a true kindness he has extended to those of us who are seeking deeper study of the scriptures.

5 stars for bringing scholarly insight to the layman.
Derived From Web , Sep 25, 2018
Paul Heiser, one of the leading authorities on ancient Egypt, brings a fresh take to the study of angelology. The volume of work involved is not academic, but rather, years of research by graduate students at various colleges and universities. This is a breath of fresh air that comes to the public in an easy-to-read format. If you are a professional scholar, you might not find that much new insight here that already adds to what is known in the academic arena, Dr. O'Neill said. Whether you are a skeptic or a believer, this is still a good read. In fact, I'm not all that thrilled with this book, which is only 180 pages. For those who don't have a Masters degree, Heiser has a way of explaining academic content to a non-academic audience. Whether you are a scholar or not, if you are a believer who obeys the proverbs endorsing education and learning, you will enjoy this great addition to the layman library.

Destined to be an all time classic in biblical angelology
Derived From Web , Sep 24, 2018
This is a book that will be among the most authoritative references on angels in print today. If you want your and most probing questions on angels answered from a Biblical standpoint, look no further than the quintessence of the Nephilim, the source of the Nephilim. Big kudos to you Mike Heiser for all your hard work and dedication to the cause.
