| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to another episode of Theology Applied. I am your host, Pastor Joel Weben, |
| 0:04.1 | with Right Response Ministries. And in this episode, I'm privileged to welcome to the show for the very |
| 0:08.9 | first time, Pastor Doug Van Dorn. Pastor Doug Van Dorn is a Reformed Baptist pastor. He holds to |
| 0:15.9 | the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, just like I do. We've got a lot in common, but one of the things |
| 0:21.7 | we have in common is not just the 1689, our reformed theology, but our fascination, interests, |
| 0:29.1 | some might call it an obsession with giants and the Nephilim and fallen angels and these kinds |
| 0:36.1 | of high strangeness things. And so that's what we're going to be |
| 0:38.8 | talking about today. We're going to be talking about it from a covenantal perspective, a spiritual |
| 0:43.5 | perspective, a reformed perspective. There's not a lot of guys who necessarily are within the |
| 0:48.6 | reformed world who have these views. A lot of them tend to be dispensational. A lot of them tend to be pre-millennial. And Doug |
| 0:55.7 | Van Dorn is neither of those things. So we're going to be talking about Jesus, the giant slayer. |
| 1:01.3 | Slaying giants in the truest, spiritual, and ultimate sense, and what all that means from |
| 1:06.6 | Adam to David to Christ, what that looks like for you and I today. Tune in now. |
| 1:14.8 | Applying God's word to every aspect of life. This is theology applied. |
| 1:25.6 | All right. Well, let's talk a little bit about Heiser and some of his conception and some of the work that you've done working off of that with, you know, this, this divine counsel. Can you explain that to our listeners? What is the divine counsel? And where do we find it in Scripture? |
| 1:41.8 | Really, the main focus of his book is to talk about the divine counsel. |
| 1:45.9 | Like I said, the Nephilim, the angel of the Lord, these are subtopics underneath it. |
| 1:50.9 | So the divine counsel is essentially the idea that there's a group of celestial heavenly beings |
| 1:57.0 | that rule over the affairs of the cosmos. |
| 2:00.2 | And if you want an analogy from Greek mythology, think about the Olympians. |
| 2:06.3 | Now, the problem is, of course, as soon as I say mythology, people, especially in our world, |
| 2:11.8 | they start to go crazy because they hear the word myth and they think fake fiction, |
