Michael Heiser Didn’t Mean to Start a Cult | Halo Effect, Divine Council & The Unseen Realm

Did Michael Heiser [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QM7anD5vSI] accidentally inspire cult-like behavior around his work? This video explores how readers of The Unseen Realm [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QM7anD5vSI] can ignore an author’s own words, especially around the divine council and the controversial idea of a Hebrew pantheon.

The Overlooked Miracle in Acts 2: A Contrite Heart

In Acts 2, most people focus on the miracle of languages and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. But there is another miracle in this chapter that is often missed: when Peter confronts the crowd with their guilt in the death of Messiah, they do not deny it—they ask, “What shall we do?” This message explores the power of conviction, repentance, and a contrite heart, and why humility before God is essential for entering His kingdom through Yeshua the Messiah. A sober and encouraging reflection on sin, repentance, grace, and the mercy of God.

Christ Is Not Jesus’ Last Name | What “Christ” Really Means

In this video, I explain why “Christ” is not Jesus’ last name, but a title meaning “anointed one” or Messiah. Using a simple and memorable example from The Princess Bride, I break down the meaning of the word Christ, its connection to the Hebrew idea of Messiah, and why Yeshua (Jesus) is called the Christ. I also touch on how the concept of anointing appears in Scripture, how others in biblical history were also “anointed” for God’s purposes, and why Yeshua is uniquely the ultimate Messiah.

Acts 2 Wasn’t the Beginning of Pentecost

Did you know the day of Pentecost in Acts 2 was already a biblical holy day long before the events of the New Testament?
