The Book of Enoch is one of the most famous pieces of extra-biblical literature. What is the context of the book of Enoch, and how is it used and referred to in scripture? What does it say about supernatural creatures like angels and the giant Nephilim? How can it help inform our understanding of human civilization in biblical times? Jon and Doug discuss this and more!
Should Christians study extra-biblical literature like the Apocrypha and the Pseudepigrapha? Jon and Doug make the case that these writings can help Biblical scholars better understand ancient cultures, ideas, and events. While not canon to scripture and outside of God’s inspired word, can these historic documents help our understanding of ancient times?
Genesis 6 introduces us to beings known as the “Nephilim.” Beings that are the product of humans and the divine. What is the history of these beings? How do we understand that they were giants? Jon and Doug delve back into Genesis 6 and how scripture makes a distinction between the line of Noah and the Nephilim.
Here we are, Genesis 6. This chapter of scripture, particularly verses 1-4, is a large focus of hundreds of thousands of works over thousands of years. In this episode, Jon and Doug aim to showcase the different thoughts throughout the centuries and identify the beings known as the “sons of God” and what their actions mean for Biblical history and our understanding.
The Bible talks about a lot of supernatural things that most of modern Christianity seems to ignore. These are important parts of our Bibles that need to be understood! In today’s episode of Kingdoms Unveiled, Jon is joined by acclaimed pastor and author, Doug Van Dorn, well known for his studies and discussions on the more metaphysical parts of the Bible. Join Jon and Doug as they discuss how doctrinally confessional believers can better understand the history and role of demons, giants, and other spiritual forces in our reality.
