Podcasts about Elohim

God reveals Himself in the Old Testament through 4 key names. These names remind us of his power as creator (Elohim). (Jehovah) Reminds us that He desires a personal relationship with us. For us to follow Him, He must be our master (Adonai). When we trust Him as our personal Savior; He is forever with us (Immanuel). He is the God who is!

April 24, 2026 - Equipped 2026 - Day 2 - 11:00 AM Session   Join hosts Kathy Pollard and Carla Moore live from the Cumberland Trace Church of Christ "Equipped" workshop for an encouraging episode of the Looking Up podcast, recorded in front of a group of women studying the book of Genesis. In this episode they mix warm fellowship and personal updates—including a shout-out to attendee Jennifer Eskew (who traveled from Alaska) and joyful family pregnancy announcements—with a thoughtful study on worship and the opening chapters of Scripture. The conversation centers on the theme that God made us to worship. Kathy and Carla explore early examples of worship in Genesis—Cain and Abel's offerings, Noah's altar after the flood, and Abraham's sacrifice in Genesis 22 (the first time the word worship appears)—and highlight how our view of God shapes true worship. They unpack Hebrew worship terms like shakah (bowing down), hallel (praise), and yadah (lifting hands) and connect those postures and words to Psalms and New Testament teaching about sincere, God-centered praise. The hosts contrast the two creation accounts in Genesis 1 and 2: chapter 1 presents God as Elohim, the mighty Creator who speaks the cosmos into being with powerful commands, while chapter 2 portrays Yahweh Elohim as intimate and hands-on—forming man, breathing life, planting the garden, and building woman from Adam's rib. These differing portraits reveal both God's majesty and his desire for a close, covenant relationship with humanity. Kathy and Carla also use a vivid analogy—comparing Eden to the idyllic Camelot—to illustrate how God's original design was perfect, how sin shattered that harmony, and how the rest of Scripture unveils God's plan to restore fellowship with His people. They remind listeners that nothing took God by surprise and that redemption is woven throughout the story of the Bible. Practical application rounds out the episode: the hosts offer tangible ways to prepare your heart for worship (prepare the night before, choose a psalm, pray in the morning or in the shower, sing on the drive to church, and even lift your chest to change your posture and attitude). They read and reflect on Psalm 95—calling listeners to come before God with joy, thanksgiving, and an unhardened heart—and discuss how worship brings rest and renewal both now and ultimately in God's promised dwelling with His people. Expect a warm, conversational episode that blends biblical teaching (Genesis 1–3, 4, 8, 22; Psalm 95; Lamentations 3:41 and New Testament references), Hebrew word insights, personal stories, and simple, faith-building practices to help listeners reclaim joyful, heartfelt worship in everyday life. Closing line: "Until next time, He will be known."   Duration 40:57

Rabbi Steve Berkson emphasizes the importance of being aware of death to inspire us to make the most of our time in this life. He cites scripture after scripture showing that death has always been part of God's plan, and that the wages of sin is death, but the reward for living according to the commandments of Elohim, which are relevant today, is eternal life.• Review• Ecclesiastes 9:10 – The opportunities of life• 2 Corinthians 4:16 – Our physical decline is a signal…• Matthew 6:19-21 – Laying up treasures• Are you preparing for this…?• Matthew 6:25 – This is the battle…• Matthew 6:26 – Even the birds do this…• The most important skill• Growing up looks like this…• Matthew 6:27-28 – Why worry?• Matthew 6:33 – These will be added to you…• Matthew 6:22-24 – If your eye…?• What should you do now?• ConclusionListen to the Afterburn tomorrowSubscribe to be notified of new content each week.Learn more about MTOI:https://mtoi.orgThe MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-appFollow MTOI:https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwidehttps://www.tiktok.com/@mtoi_worldwide Contact MTOI: 

In this episode of The Bible as Literature, Fr. Marc Boulos delivers a powerful Mother's Day homily and biblical reflection on the meaning of Baal, husbandry, empire, and the anti-imperial function of scripture. Beginning with the Semitic root ב־ע־ל / ب־ع־ل (b-ʿ-l), Fr. Marc explains how the biblical attack is not against the husband or father, but against the corruption of husbandry into domination, ownership, kingship, and institutional power, what he calls “Baalism.”Drawing on examples from Roman slavery, Baalbek, St. George, Ezekiel, Luke 9, Isaiah, Nahum, and the Qur'an, this episode explores how scripture dismantles empire and restores humanity to its proper place as caretaker of the land rather than master over it. Fr. Marc argues that the earth functions as mother, not as a goddess, and that Elohim alone is Father, King, and Lord.The second half of the episode turns to Luke 9:6 and the Greek verbs διέρχομαι, εὐαγγελίζω, and θεραπεύω, showing how the apostles do not possess healing as power, but cross through the land as slaves bearing witness to the coming judgment and kingdom of God. Through Hebrew and Arabic lexical correspondences, Fr. Marc demonstrates how biblical language functions not as abstract philosophy, but as enacted decree.This episode challenges modern assumptions about power, property, fatherhood, rights, religion, and institutional life, while presenting scripture as an ancient anti-imperial witness against tyranny and domination.Luke 9:6Εξερχόμενοι διήρχοντο κατὰ τὰς κώμας εὐαγγελιζόμενοι καὶ θεραπεύοντες πανταχοῦ“Departing, they began going throughout the villages, preaching the gospel and serving everywhere.” ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. Continuing in the book of James (Ya'akov), Rabbi Steve Berkson breaks down chapter 1… • Does Elohim ‘entice' anyone to do something against His commandments? How and why are you enticed to leave the Path? • Does Yahweh ever change? • What is the definition of a “remnant”? • By what term are we who are in covenant with Elohim called? • When should you not post anything on social media? • What is the first action you should take after praying when faced with a life issue? • How are you to be “swift to hear and slow to speak”? • What is “Failure to Adult,” and why is it an epidemic today? • A Doer of Work? Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages so that you will have a deeper understanding of what Yah expects of you, enabling you to do it and receive the blessings. https://mtoi.org The MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-app Follow MTOI: https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwide Contact MTOI: admin@mtoi.org (423) 250-3020 Join us LIVE (all times Eastern): •Torah Study, Fridays 7:30 pm •Shabbat Service, Saturdays 1:15 pm Streaming available on YouTube, Rumble, MTOI App, and mtoi.org

What happens when a high-ranking church official discovers evidence of ancient aliens encoded into holy scripture? In this captivating episode, we interview Paul Wallis, a former Anglican Church Archdeacon who risked his theological reputation to expose a centuries-old Biblical Cover-Up. If you think the Book of Genesis is just a simple moral allegory, get ready to have your foundational worldview completely shattered. Through a careful examination of ancient languages, Wallis highlights how early editors deliberately mistranslated references to the Elohim.The original scriptures did not describe a spiritual sky-god, but rather powerful, tangible beings who arrived on Earth with advanced technologies. This stunning reality completely recontextualizes our understanding of UFOs and Aliens within the framework of modern faith. We explore the compelling insights from his acclaimed book, Escaping from Eden, which details how matching stories of extraterrestrial creation can be found in the sacred traditions of Mesoamerica, Africa, and ancient India. Why did ancient scribes censor our real history, and what are the deep psychological consequences of humanity forgetting its true origins? By reviewing older Sumerian Texts, we unlock the hidden blueprints of our species.This episode is packed with provocative questions that challenge the core doctrines of institutionalized religion. Are we living out an amnesic existence because our real creators left us with a coded message? Paul Wallis provides a refreshing, scholarly, and deeply mystical approach to recovering our lost cosmic history. Whether you are a firm believer, an open-minded skeptic, or a dedicated UFO researcher, this jaw-dropping conversation will leave you questioning the very fabric of human civilization.✨ Download Our FREE Throne Room Meditation✨ ➡️ https://www.truthseekah.com ➡️Join our online community at https://www.truthseekah.com ➡️ Support on Patreon! https://patreon.com/join/truthseekah✅ Get access to 40+ video lessons + Weekly LIVE calls!✅ Worldwide Online Community!✅ Courses, Monthly Webinars, Prayer, Meditation, Discussion✅ TruthSeekah's Meditation Library

This week's teaching explored the name Elohim, revealing God as the sovereign Creator who rules over all things, speaks with limitless power, and is perfectly good. Through Genesis 1, we're reminded that life was never meant to be lived independently from God, because the same Elohim who created the world also invites us into relationship with Him. Rather than carrying fear, pressure, pain, or striving alone, we're called to rely on His strength, rest in His goodness, and draw near to Him through Jesus.

The 10 Commandments E8 — The first four commandments focus on relating to God, and the last five focus on relating to other humans. Right in the middle, we find the 5th Commandment, which acts like a hinge between these two sections: “Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be prolonged in the land which Yahweh your Elohim gives you.” It's the only commandment that comes with a promise and invokes both humans and God. So what is this special connection between parents and God? In this episode, Jon and Tim look at this unique command, exploring what it meant for ancient Israel and how followers of Jesus can practice it today.

Daily Dose of Hope May 7, 2026   Name of God: Elohim – The Mighty Creator Scripture: Genesis 1:1, 1:26-27, Psalm 90:2, Ecc. 12:14   Prayer:  Almighty Father, Elohim, Mighty Creator, Thank You for speaking light into my darkness, order into my chaos, and my life into being. I submit again to you and welcome your creative work in me and through me for Your glory.  It's in your name I pray, Amen   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  We are now doing a 16-day reading plan that goes through the Old Testament names of God.  We mentioned this yesterday but it's worth repeating - names in ancient times were believed to reveal a person's character. As we study God's name, we study His character and His ways.    Today is day two of that plan and the name we are covering is Elohim.  Elohim is the name for God as Creator. Elohim is the plural form of El. El was a word borrowed from the Canaanites and is one of the oldest designations for divinity in the world. In the original Hebrew of the Old Testament, El means mighty or strong and is used for any reference to gods, including the one true God.  He is the God of gods, the highest of all. Elohim occurs 32 times in the first chapter of Genesis and more than 2,500 times in the Old Testament.   That actually leads us to our first two Scriptures for today from Genesis 1. I'll insert this Hebrew name as I read: "In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth.  Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of Elohim was hovering over the waters.  And Elohim said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light.  Elohim saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.  Elohim called the light 'day,' and the darkness he called 'night.'"  Elohim created the heavens and the earth. The power of his voice formed substance from nothing, brought order to chaos, and exploded light into the vast darkness. It was Elohim who created man and woman in his own image and breathed into them the breath of life as we read in Genesis 1:26-27. As we will discover in this reading plan, a Biblical author is not choosing a name for God willy-nilly.  There is purpose in the name they choose.  With Elohim, this name communicates God's royal majesty over all creation and nations.  Thus, in Genesis 1, the creation of the world and humanity is attributed to Elohim, the mighty creator.  But in Genesis 2, God is referred to as YHWH, God's sacred name, which we talked about yesterday.  The Scripture that uses Elohim is making a specific point.  Look at another Scripture from our reading, Psalm 90:2, Before the mountains were born or you brough forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting, you are God (or Elohim). One other example is Isaiah 45:18 when the prophet writes, The One who made the heavens and the earth, He is God (Elohim). Paul reminds us that while many other so-called elohim (false gods) want our attention and worship and attempt to pull us away from our mighty creator, we are subject to the one Elohim and one Elohim only.  We are subject to the Elohim who created us, sustains us, and sent us Jesus Christ.   He created the universe and yet He is intimately personal to you. He personally, intricately made you. Let's close by meditating on another word from Psalm 139:14-15, "For You formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise You for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are Your works; my soul knows it very well."  May you be reminded today that the God of all created you with a purpose.  You were not accident, you were wanted and desired, and Elohim is still active and creating new things in YOU! Blessings, Pastor Vicki    

ELYON es el comandante de los Elohim El término bíblico Elyon y su implicación en los orígenes de la humanidad, basado en la traducción literal y etimológica de los textos antiguos. Enfoque radical: Los historiadores y filólogos proponen una interpretación basada en el significado etimológico literal de las raíces de las palabras, alejándose de los dogmas teológicos y las interpretaciones gramaticales modernas ideadas para sostener el monoteísmo. Premisa: Los textos originales no hablan de un "Dios" espiritual y único, sino de una narración sobre los orígenes humanos que involucra a múltiples entidades. Conclusión La síntesis de la información revela que Elyon no es un nombre propio para Dios, sino un título de rango para el comandante supremo de los Elohim. Según los historiadores y filólogos, la Biblia no es un libro de religión espiritual, sino un registro de "recuerdos ancestrales traumáticos" sobre la gestión de la humanidad por parte de un grupo de seres avanzados. La traducción de estos líderes como "Dios" ha sido una herramienta ideológica para justificar estructuras de poder jerárquicas y violentas a lo largo de la historia. Ernestoard.blogspot.com

Who is God, really? Maybe you've been taught that God's love has to be earned. Maybe striving to be “good enough” has left you feeling exhausted and hopeless. Maybe God has been presented as distant, critical, or waiting for you to mess up. Or maybe your past relationships have made it hard to believe that God could be any different. If that's where you are, this episode is for you.  

This episode explores the profound concept of identity in God, examining His names and characteristics such as Elohim, Yahweh, and El Elyon. The discussion emphasizes how understanding these divine attributes can transform our personal faith and reflection of God's image.We want to hear from YOU!

Is your faith based on the stars? Jordan Maxwell is a world-renowned expert in astro-theology, and in this interview with TruthSeekah, he reveals how ancient astrology is the foundation of all world religions. We discuss the zodiac and how the twelve apostles represent the twelve signs. Maxwell explains the immense respect he has for the story of Jesus, but he decodes it in a way that includes extraterrestrial intelligence.Are the gods of the Vedas and the Elohim of the Bible the same as modern aliens? This episode is slam packed with info on how the Sun God was transformed into the Son of God. We explore the symbolism of light and darkness and how ancient cultures used these concepts to explain UFO ship activity in the sky.Maxwell's ability to win over minds with his knowledge of ancient scriptures is on full display. Learn how to read the heavens and discover the true origin of human spirituality. This is the masterclass in esoteric wisdom you've been waiting for.Jordan Maxwell has spent his life exploring the unseen architecture of reality, the symbols, stories, and cosmic forces that shape humanity from the shadows. His work bridges astrotheology, ancient religions, secret societies, extraterrestrial encounters, aliens, UFOs and the esoteric foundations of Christianity, revealing a universe far stranger and more interconnected than most ever imagine.For decades, Jordan illuminated how the heavens guided ancient mythmakers, how sacred texts concealed astronomical and spiritual codes, and how non-human intelligences have accompanied humanity since the dawn of time. His work shows that behind every religious ritual, political symbol, and celestial myth lies a deeper truth waiting to be uncovered. Jordan Maxwell is not just a researcher, he is a keeper of forgotten knowledge.His teachings, interviews and lectures continue to inspire seekers who feel the pull toward hidden wisdom, cosmic spirituality, and the mysteries that bind heaven, earth, and the worlds beyond.Spirit Realm: Angels Demons, Spirits and the Sovereignty of God (Foreword by Jordan Maxwell) https://amzn.to/31g9ydR

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This study series is based on the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. As he continues in Ephesians chapter 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson untangles common misunderstandings about disobedience, sin, covenant, and what it truly means to love Messiah Yeshua. • What are “empty words”? • What does it mean to be “a partaker with them”? • Who are you to “have no fellowship with”? From there, Rabbi Berkson takes us to 1 Timothy chapter 1 and explains how some have missed the goal of the command given by Paul to his disciple, namely a clean heart, a good conscience, and a sincere belief, and have turned aside to senseless talk, some even teaching that the Torah no longer applies to us today, just that we believe and love Messiah. Then Rabbi Berkson moves us to 2 Peter chapter 1, where we see Peter telling us that we have been given exceedingly great and precious promises by the righteousness of our Elohim and Savior Messiah Yeshua. Rabbi Berkson also points out that belief in Elohim and His Messiah is just the foundation, and that you need to “add” to that foundation certain things. • What is “Kingdom Access”?

God is not distant or detached—He is the powerful Creator who speaks, forms, and sustains all things. In this message, Wish explores the name Elohim, inviting us to reflect on who God is and how His power and creativity shape the way we see our world and our lives.

Nombre de Dios ELOHIM by Cautivante Podcast

Dr. Joel Muddamalle joined us in the studio in front of a live audience to tackle a question most churches never even think to ask: what actually happened when Jesus ascended? Joel connects the dots between the final verse of Psalm 82, where Yahweh commands an Elohim to rise and judge the earth, and the moment Christ physically rises into the heavens in front of witnesses. The lexical connections between the Hebrew and Greek are not coincidental. The Ascension is the fulfillment of the cosmic judgment pronounced against the rebellious gods of the nations, and it changes how we understand every use of the words rulers, authorities, and powers in the New Testament.The conversation goes from there into what spiritual warfare actually looks like on this side of the cross. Joel argues that the decisive battle has already been won and the gospel is the announcement riding out to every corner of the battlefield. He unpacks the ambassador language of 2 Corinthians 5, the armor of God as Yahweh's own armor from Isaiah, and why the dark powers today are disarmed cockroaches trying to take as many people down with them as possible before the King returns. This is a live, unscripted, deeply theological hour that also features a Cal Ripken conspiracy theory and a sloppy wet kiss.Dr. Joel's book can be found here: The Unseen Battle: Spiritual Warfare, the Three Rebellions, and Christ's Victory Over Dark Powers .A live Q&A session was recorded with the audience at the conclusion of this episode and is available for all Blurry Creatures members.

There is power when a specific name is called on. Hypothetically, let's say we're on a boat in Bali, charting to the island of Nusa Pineda. If you hear me say, “Girls, come over here”, you would think, “hmmm, am I a girl? Yes – she wants to show me something and maybe it's something great I don't want to miss. But let's say we're on that boat in Bali, chartering to the island of Nusa Pineda for great adventures and you hear me say, “NURSE!”, you know that means something totally different. That means if you're not a nurse, this doesn't apply to you. But that means if you are a nurse, I need you to come quickly and help with a medical situation. That's all in the calling of a name. The name defines who is needed. You have many names perhaps. Friend, daughter, honey, mom, nurse, teacher … and each calls to you in a different way. For a mother, the sound of “Mom” turns every head in the grocery store. I'm Mom – what do you need? How can I take care of you? Now think about God. He reveals his different names to us for a reason – he wants us to call on him for who we need. The more you know his names, the better you can call on him and the more you can trust him. Remember, this study of the names of God comes from Psalm 9:10, “Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you.” So far, we've studied 5 of the names of God. Let's do a review. Episode #2100: YHWH – The name you've always known since your first breath. A name not spoken, but rather breathed. LORD Episode #2101: Adonai – Lord, Master. The one responsible for you. Episode #2102: Elohim – Creator. The one who makes a new way when there is no way. The one who is making you new. Episode #2103: El Shaddai – God Almighty. The one whose hand is in everything and pours out his blessings on you. Episode #2104: Yahweh Rapha – The Lord who heals you – but not just your body, your mind, your heart, your relationships. Your entire life finds healing in him. Now, today, the 6th name of God revealed by God himself in scripture. A name he wants you to know so you can call on him in a very specific. A name he gives you so you can trust him more. Today's name is likely one you've never even heard of. A name that is very hard to pronounce, so together we're going to learn something new. Repeat after me – Mehhh Ka Desh Kem Together, Mehhh-ka-desh-kem. A name that tells you that you belong to him and he is actively shaping you. A name that gives you identity, value, worth, confidence and rest. A name that tells you to stop performing, stop trying to achieve so hard, stop trying to bend and contort yourself into perfection, and trust Yahweh Mekaddishkem to do his work in you. Is that what you need today? Girl, you don't have to figure this all out – you don't have to force anything – and you don't have to perform to please the Father. He's actually already done the work for you. We find this name in Exodus 31:3, but you won't see it in your English translation Bible. Without studying the original text of Hebrew, you'll completely miss this name God has shared of himself. Here's what you will see in your Bible: The LORD then gave these instruction to Moses: Tell the people of Israel: ‘Be careful to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sing of the covenant between me and you from generation to generation. It is given so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy.” The LORD who makes you Holy in Hebrew was YHWH Mekaddishkem. Mekaddishkem comes from the Hebrew root “qadash” which means to sanctify, set apart, and to make you holy. So, what God is saying to his people here is I AM THE ONE WHO MAKES YOU FOREVER GOOD ENOUGH. It is my work in you that makes you holy. It's on ME to sanctify you. What does it mean that God will sanctify you? That's hard to explain isn’t it? What does that really look like? My friend, it's this simple and this incredibly unbelievable – You, in your totally flawed and imperfect state within the human condition are set apart for God's divine purpose and he is progressively and continually working on you to be more and more like Jesus. That is something you simply cannot do yourself, no matter how hard you try. What God is revealing to his people here isn't some unreachable complex theology, it's an identity shaping truth meant specifically of this people. YOU BELONG TO ME AND I AM ACTIVELY SHAPING YOU. You are “becoming” in me and through me. And who you're becoming is who he always created you to be – a girl who reflects Jesus! That's holy. That's sanctified. That's forever good enough. Your holiness is not self-produced. Think about God in his infinite and perfect ways – think about his unimaginable creation of the Universe all by just his spoken word – think of his power to do absolutely anything he wishes at any time – now really, do you think there's anything YOU could do that would impress HIM? Never. So, you can't stop trying to perform and earn your way to God's good graces. He's already declared you as worthy of his love. He's already claimed you as his dearly beloved Daughter of the Dance. You've already been set apart because of what HE did, not because of anything YOU have ever, could ever, or would ever do. You are set apart by God – you are different – you are HIS! This wasn't your responsibility. Your change, your growth, your newness comes from a source – that source is GOD – not you. You don't first act holy to be set apart. No, you are set apart, and once you understand that as your identity, you naturally begin to live differently. That's God's active, ever present, holy work happening IN YOU. You can't manufacture this holiness, you can only receive it. Open your hands and receive it. For real, open your hands right now and just receive his holiness. He's set YOU apart to be made holy by HIM. My sister, trying harder isn't your answer. Have you noticed all your efforts continually fall short. You know what gets you where you need to be? SURRENDER. You can't manufacture what God is trying to give you. You can only receive it with that open, surrendered hand and heart. Old Testament was about what you could do. Rules, laws, rituals, ceremonies, cleansing, sacrifices … and God's people continually messed that up. We simply couldn't get it right. We couldn't make ourselves holy. So, that's what our Jesus did for us. We're no longer a slave to continually trying to do the right thing. It's no longer about what you can do and what you can’t do – it's solely about WHO you belong to. This is belonging, and God says, “YOU BELONG TO ME – NOW I WILL MAKE YOU HOLY. I ALONE WILL SANCTIFY YOU.” Because God is the one who sanctifies you, you can know that your failure simply isn't in the way for him. You may stumble, God says that's all part of the process, and this is HIS PROCESS. Surrender and trust him along the way. Now, in closing, notice specifically where this revealing of God's name, YWHW Mekaddishkem comes – it comes after God gives his people the sabbath – a day of rest in his covenant with them. A day where he says, “Stop working. Stop striving. Stop trying to fix everything, and just rest in me. Let me work.” Is that what you need to hear today? Rest is part of the process of you becoming everything God desires of you. Will you trust God enough to STOP sometimes? Will you trust God enough to rest from the work too? YHWH Mekaddishkem means: God is not waiting for you to become holy – He is already committed to making you holy. He is actively sanctifying you. Stop trying to fix everything and start yielding to the one who is shaping you. You can trust YHWY Mekaddishkem completely.

NDS Chronicles is back with two powerful paranormal testimonies straight from the listeners! First up: Kate (Alaska Schizo / Anti-Species Kate) shares three unreported Southern Utah incidents — midnight hiking with Austin when they hear a loud METAL SCRAPING sound like a shovel or rake dragging across red rock just feet from their truck, a silent translucent blackish triangle-shaped object flying only 50 feet overhead, and a wild coyote calmly approaching them during an intense conversation about God.Then Elohim (Adrian) delivers an emotional testimony: after losing his Marine Corps dad to cancer, he spiraled into a bottle of whiskey a day, nearly destroying his marriage and family. He gets sober, decides to get baptized with his wife, and the morning of the baptism they're hit with brutal migraines, their car battery dies, and there's a shooting at the gas station — clear spiritual warfare trying to stop them. The moment he steps in the water the migraine vanishes instantly and a euphoric peace floods in.Plus: hosts David Lee Corbo (The Raven) and Top Lobsta riff on Matt reading the chat, Sport Drink electrolyte powder (promo code SQUAD), Toad's epic Creed “Higher” cover, opening fan mail from Heffalumps (Kentucky High Water Saloon gifts including a cryptid noise machine with Mothman, Jersey Devil, etc.), biblical hats (James 2:19, Amos 5:18, Thief in the Night), and a David vs Goliath statue that needs a sword fabricated.Bohemian Grove tickets update: only 5 VIP left on Patreon — grab them before they're gone!Submit your own paranormal testimony: chroniclesnds@gmail.comSupport the show & get early access + VIP tickets: https://www.patreon.com/NephilimDeathSquadMerch & Sport Drink: toplobsta.com (use code SQUAD)Timestamps:00:00 – Intro & Patreon/Bohemian Grove Update06:45 – Kate's Southern Utah Metal Scraping + Triangle UFO Stories28:00 – Elohim's Baptism Spiritual Attack Testimony52:00 – Fan Mail Opening & Cryptid Gifts1:10:00 – Closing & Giveaway InfoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nephilim-death-squad--6389018/support.☠️ Nephilim Death Squad — New episodes 5x/week.Join our Patreon for early access, bonus shows & the private Telegram hive.Subscribe on YouTube & Rumble, follow @NephilimDSquad on X/Instagram, grab merch at toplobsta.com. Questions/bookings: chroniclesnds@gmail.com — Stay dangerous.

In this study we will take a look at the women within the Bible. We will look at each one of them and see how their story influences our lives today.As we continue our study in this fantastic insight of the Women of the Bible, this morning we will take a look at Hagar. If you remember Hagar was the ‘slave woman' to Sarah. As we read earlier in the Legends of the Old Testament Characters it stated that Hagar's father was Pharaoh of Egypt, there in Gen. 12.In our last study we seen that Hagar gave birth to Abraham's son Ishmael (EL will hear). We read that Abraham was 86 years old when Ishmael was born. In this study we will be in Chapter 21 looking at the expulsion of Hagar and Ishmael AFTER the birth of Isaac.Hagar and Ishmael expelled Read Genesis 21:1-21Despite Hagar's return, the rivalry between the two women was unresolved. Later, the birth of Sarah's son Isaac upset the balance of power, and the problem resurfaced. For fourteen years Ishmael was seen as the future heir of Abraham.  But when Sarah had her own son, everything changed. The question was who would be Abraham's heir: the first-born son, or the son of the principal wife? Sarah had no doubt about the matter. She saw Ishmael as a threat to her son, and the old hostility between the two women reappeared - now even more savage than it had been before.    But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with her son Isaac. So she said to Abraham 'Cast out this slave woman with her son; for the son of this slave woman shall not inherit along with my son Isaac'. (Gen. 21:10)It was a bitter moment for Abraham; little sleep did he have that night. Abraham, once clear about the will of Yahweh, made no delay. He "rose up early in the morning "to do the will of his Yahweh. In spite of his unrest for the suffering of Hagar, in spite of the bitter pang of parting with his boy, Abraham "took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away." (Gen. 21:14).We do not know the details of the bitter power struggle between the two women, but we do know that Hagar lost. Neither of the women had ever trusted or liked each other, but now Sarah had a murderous hatred for Hagar, and actively sought her death. Alone in the desert, Hagar and Ishmael soon used up their tiny supply of water. Hagar searched desperately for more but found none, and saw her son begin to die of thirst. There was nothing she could do to save him except place him in the shade of an overhanging bush and wait. Hagar must be exhausted to the highest. The burning lips of Ishmael and his drooping limbs told of approaching fever; and in her despair Hagar "cast him under one of the shrubs," (Gen. 21:15) where she found a little shade, "and she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow-shot; for she said "Let me not see the death of the child." (Gen. 21:16) Had Hagar forgotten the name she had given to the well? Had Yahweh ceased to be "the Living One?" Had He ceased to be "Thou EL seeth me?" (Gen. 16:13) Surely not; but Hagar was looking another way, looking at her wrongs, looking at her fainting child, instead of looking to Elohim. "She sat over against him, and lifted up her voice and wept."Hagar was never fully accepted into the Hebrew group despite being the mother of Abraham's child. In the end she was rejected completely, and expelled. But she was protected by Yahweh against the hatred of Sarah, and in the end lived as a free woman, no longer a slave.Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

The third stop in our names of God study brings us to Elohim, and it's actually where it all begins. Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” The Hebrew word used here for God is “Elohim”. This is how we meet God, and before he asks absolutely anything of us, he reveals who he is. Who is he? He is Elohim, meaning he is the Supreme One, the Mighty One, the Creator. The name Elohim tells us our God is all power and absolutely zero limitation. Nothing and no one is above him and everything begins with him. Nothing exists without the Creator. To understand our Elohim, look at his creation. Look at the magnificent universe and its perfect balance to sustain life. Look at the intricate details of life. Nothing is by accident, everything is the intentional thought and spoken word of Elohim, the Creator. But you know that, right? You know he created all of this and holds all of this, but do you realize, Elohim doesn't stop there. A creator doesn't create once and never create again. He continues to create. He continues to make things new … for you! Not only for you, but IN YOU. 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a NEW person. The old life is gone; a NEW LIFE has begun!” This is the work of Elohim, the Creator who is still creating new things in you. As long as you're alive, he's still creating in you. New things are growing and developing because of his continued work of creation in you. Question – Where do you need Elohim to create something new in you? God is working in you, and he's working all around you. Elohim can work in anything and everything because it was all his original work anyway. The one who created it can change it or redesign it in any way he wishes. He alone holds that power. Maybe what you need doesn't even exist right now. Do you honestly think that's a problem for Elohim, the Supreme One, the Mighty One, the Creator? Girl, he can create the solution for your problem. He can design the pathway through your impossible. He can make a brand new, never been seen before creation to meet your need. He is not limited to what has been before. He is not limited to what makes sense. He's not limited to what you know or what you understand. He can make a new cure. He can make a new way. He can make a new solution. Our God is a CREATOR. He creates things that have never existed before. Did you know you can call on him to create for you now? Think about this – when Moses and the Israelites stood before an impassable Red Sea with their enemies closing in from behind, there was no way. There were no solutions. This was hopeless. So Elohim, our God the Creator, created a new way that had never been seen or imagined before. He created a dry path through the Red Sea by splitting the waters and making them stand on their ends. And let me tell you something you need to know – If God can do that then for them, God can do something radically new for you now! Call on your Elohim. God, create a way for me. Maybe what you need is a new opportunity. You're at a dead end with no viable options and you feel desperate. You've looked for a different opportunity and found absolutely none. Well – LOOK AGAIN, Sis. For real, God can create a new opportunity for you that simply wasn't there before … but it can be now. In my journey of faith I've found this simple truth – God loves to show up for the one who is looking for him. Jesus tells us in Matthew 7:7, “Seek and you will find.” I believe Jesus really meant that and I believe Elohim can really back it up. If you look for him, you will find him … and you'll find him doing new things for you all the time! Creating ways where there were no ways before. Creating new opportunities where old opportunities spoiled. Creating new solutions to impossible problems and letting you stumble right into them as you seek his hand. Question – Where do you need Elohim to create something new for you? You can trust God's unlimited hand over your limitations. You can trust God's power over your problems. He can speak into existence absolutely ANYTHING NEEDED HERE. Elohim is the creator of all things, including YOU. Nothing in your life is beyond his power. He can create in you what you cannot create on your own. He can align for you in one day what you couldn't possibly make come together in a hundred lifetimes. Get a glimpse of how big your God, Elohim, really is … now know that anything you can dare to imagine is the tiniest proportion of who he really is and what he can really do. Elohim doesn't just create worlds with mountains and valleys, rivers and oceans, the sun and moon and stars – he creates moments – he creates solutions – he creates connections – he creates paths that lead to eternal destinations. Elohim creates abundance where there was lack, order where there was chaos, and life where there was death. In Exodus, we see God create manna out of absolutely nothing and make this dewy food substance just appear on the wilderness ground every morning for his people. It had never been there before and likely has never been there again since – but he made it new for the Israelites just when they needed it. This shows us Elohim doesn't need resources – HE CREATES THEM. Maybe you're standing here today empty handed feeling like you have nothing to even start with. Okay, that's not a problem for our God. He can create the resources you need. He can create the job. He can create the opportunity. He can create the connection. He can create the need and then allow YOU to be the one to meet the need in a perfect way. How many times in scripture do we see God create new life in a womb that was declared barren and broken? That's not a limitation for the Creator. He can create in impossible places and grow miracles. I'm literally watching him do that right now in one of my friend's lives. Elohim is still working! In 2 Chronicles 20, God gives a new battle plan for Jehoshaphat against a mighty army he didn't have a chance winning against. The new battle plan God gave was to go out and sing praises the next morning and this would send the enemy armies into a frenzy and fight against one another. As Jehoshaphat and his tiny army of men sang praises to the Lord, this massive army slaughtered each other until not a single enemy remained. I need a battle plan like that for some battles I'm facing. A new plan straight from Elohim! How about you? He creates solutions we would never think of, and even when they sound crazy, God's solutions will NOT FAIL! Elohim spoke a new identity over Gideon. In Judges 6 Gideon felt like the smallest nobody of a whole tribe of nobodies. But Elohim speaks a new identity into Gideon as a mighty warrior. That mighty warrior went on and did mighty things with his new identity. Question – Do you need Elohim to speak a new identity over you? Remember, he's already doing the work in you! Going back to 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a NEW person. The old life is gone; a NEW LIFE has begun!” Let him create a new identity in you and do a new work through you leading you to a radically new life! Elohim – our God the Creator is all power and zero limitation … and he's still creating today!

Picking up at Malachi 2:13, Peter Leithart, Jeff Meyers, Alastair Roberts, and James Bejon turn to Yahweh's second charge against Judah in this section: the treacherous dismissal of the wives of their youth. The conversation traces the double register of the passage (the covenant of individual marriage and Yahweh's own bridal relationship with Israel and his sanctuary) and asks whether the same typological layering found in verses 10–12 continues here. Considerable attention falls on the notoriously difficult verse 15, with James Bejon guiding the group through the Hebrew: the one father who makes husband and wife one, the remnant of the spirit, and the seeking of godly (zera' Elohim) seed. The discussion moves into the imagery of the garment covered in violence in verse 16, and closes with a debate over the ESV's departure from the traditional "I hate divorce" rendering — the group lands in agreement that the third-person reading ("the man who hates and divorces") is both textually defensible and theologically clarifying.

The 10 Commandments E5 — In the ancient world, gods (or elohim in Hebrew) were associated with transcendent forces of nature, and humans created statues (mostly of animals) to represent these forces, known as idols. But in Exodus 20:4-6, Yahweh forbids Israel from making idols of himself or any other spiritual being. Why? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the 2nd Commandment to discover how idols diminish the identity of both God and humans.

What if the story of creation has been… rewritten?In this episode of Free The Rabbits, Joel Thomas is joined by Stephen DeMatties Jr from the Biblical Hitmen to examine one of the most controversial belief systems in the modern world—Raelianism.A movement that claims humanity was not created by God… but engineered by advanced extraterrestrial beings.They say the “Elohim” were not divine… but technological. They say “Yahweh” was not God… but one of them. They say Genesis itself is misunderstood.And it doesn't stop there.From the concept of human cloning and engineered life, to the mysterious “Order of Angels,” this belief system attempts to reinterpret ancient Scripture through a completely different lens—one that raises serious questions about origin, authority, and truth.But when you actually examine these claims… what holds up?And more importantly—what doesn't?Drawing from Biblical texts, ancient writings, and modern interpretations, this conversation explores the growing intersection between technology, theology, and deception.Because not every explanation is the truth… even if it sounds advanced.The Biblical Hitmen: YouTube | Instagram | Spotify | AppleMerchandise: https://freetherabbits.myshopify.comBuy Me A Coffee: DonateFollow: Website | Instagram | X | FacebookWatch: YouTube | RumbleMusic: YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music Films: https://merkelfilms.com Email: freetherabbitspodcast@gmail.comDistributed by: merkel.mediaIntro Music:Joel Thomas – Free The RabbitsYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicOutro Music:Joel Thomas – Jekyll Island feat.

In this episode, TruthSeekah sits down with James Gilliland, the founder of the world-renowned ECETI Ranch. For over two decades, James has been at the forefront of the UFO community, facilitating open communication with extraterrestrial beings at the base of Mt. Adams. This conversation moves past the old paradigms of fear and alien abductions, focusing instead on how contact is enlightenment. James shares how these benevolent ETs are working with humanity to usher in massive Earth changes and a shift in consciousness.We explore the deep connection between spirituality and the UFO phenomena, looking at how ancient texts and the Bible describe these visitors as angelic beings or the Elohim. James discusses the Anunnaki and the Book of Enki, providing a bridge between modern UFOlogy and sacred narratives. Visitors to the ECETI Ranch often experience profound spiritual awakenings after witnessing UFO sightings that defy conventional physics. James explains that these interdimensional beings communicate through telepathic contact, sending messages of peace and universal law. Furthermore, we dive into the practices that help facilitate this ET contact, including Qi Gung, Yoga, and Meditation.James challenges the mainstream narrative by suggesting that aliens are not to be feared but are our celestial ancestors. By aligning with the frequency of the Prime Creator, humanity can join the galactic community. Whether you are interested in cosmic disclosure or personal transformation, this interview provides a roadmap for the Great Awakening. Discover why Mt. Adams is a hotspot for supernatural activity and how you can begin your own journey of enlightened contact.✨ Download Our FREE Throne Room Meditation✨ ➡️ https://www.truthseekah.com ➡️Join our online community at https://www.truthseekah.com ➡️ Support on Patreon! https://patreon.com/join/truthseekah✅ Get access to 40+ video lessons + Weekly LIVE calls!✅ Worldwide Online Community!✅ Courses, Monthly Webinars, Prayer, Meditation, Discussion✅ TruthSeekah's Meditation Library

In this episode, we are going to explore and challenge a common assumption that people have about Scripture: that everything under Moses belongs to a single “Mosaic Covenant.” But what if the Bible itself actually points to two distinct covenants administered during Moses' leadership?This episode will begin with examining 2 Timothy 2:15 and what it really means to “rightly divide the word of truth.” Paul doesn't tell us to rightly divide truth from error, but to divide the truth. This suggests that Scripture contains important distinctions that must be carefully understood. One of the key texts in this discussion is Deuteronomy 29:1, which explicitly mentions a covenant made in the land of Moab that is “besides” the covenant made earlier at Mount Sinai. The questions that will be presented are:1. If Israel was originally called to be a kingdom of priests (Exodus 19), how did they become a nation with priests limited to the sons of Aaron?2. Why were the tablets of the covenant placed inside the ark, while the Book of the Law was placed beside it?2. What role did the golden calf incident play in the shift toward the Levitical priesthood?4. And how does the priesthood of Messiah relate to the earlier order of Melchizedek?By examining the timeline between Sinai and the plains of Moab (and continuing this examination in the next episode, Episode 10), I am proposing that Israel originally entered a covenant that called the entire nation into priestly relationship with the Most High. After the rebellion with the golden calf, however, the tribe of Levi was separated, establishing the mediated Levitical priesthood that governed Israel's worship and sacrificial system.Last but certainly not least, we will look at how the New Testament speaks about drawing near to Elohim through Messiah, who restores access to the eternal priestly order—an order connected to Melchizedek rather than the Levitical system.This episode will invite you to reconsider how the covenants unfold throughout Scripture and why understanding these distinctions is essential for properly understanding both Moses and Messiah.In the next episode, we'll dive deeper and more tediously into the chronology of the books of Moses, the consecration of the Levites, and how placing these events in the correct order sheds new light on covenant and priesthood.Visit my website: www.promise-perspective.comFollow on Instagram: @the_promise_perspective  Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/promiseperspective  Donate on Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/stephanie-green0611Donate on PayPal: http://paypal.me/stephaniegreentppDonate on Patreon: http://patreon.com/thepromiseperspective  Your support is greatly appreciated ❤️Contact me: stephanie@promise-perspective.comSupport the show

From that encounter, the Raëlian Movement was born, blending UFO belief, sensual freedom, and a futuristic vision of human destiny. In this episode of Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes, Vanessa Richardson examines the rise of founder Claude Vorilhon, known as Raël, and the group's teachings about the Elohim, cloning, and eternal life through science. As the movement spread internationally and made headlines with controversial claims of human cloning, critics challenged its credibility and internal practices. This episode explores how a message of cosmic origins and technological salvation evolved into one of the most unusual and debated new religious movements of the modern era.Follow Conspiracy Theories, Cults and Crimes, for more episodes like this: https://play.megaphone.fm/rbfx2e-fr9uigmk-29g8ea

Life has a way of pulling us into stress, fear, and overwhelm—but Scripture offers a better rhythm: resting in God as our refuge. While God is always present, learning to actively dwell in that presence takes intention. It’s in those moments—pausing, praying, and turning our attention back to Him—that we begin to experience His peace in a tangible way. Psalm 91 paints a powerful image of God as our shelter and covering. When we stay close to Him, we’re not just protected—we’re sustained. The weight of expectations, fear, and pressure begins to lift as we remember who He is: all-powerful, unchanging, and deeply committed to our good. Rest isn’t found in escaping life’s challenges, but in staying rooted in God through them. Highlights God’s presence is constant, but resting in it requires intentional practice Pausing in moments of stress allows God to bring peace and clarity Fear and overwhelm grow when we lose sight of God’s power True rest comes from trusting God, not controlling outcomes God invites everyone to dwell in His presence—no matter their past Staying close to God strengthens emotional and spiritual resilience Proximity to God leads to peace, protection, and renewed strength Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: Making God Our Safe PlaceBy: Jennifer Slattery Bible Reading:Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. - Psalm 91:1 (NIV). How can we make God our refuge, shield, shelter, and safe place? Most of us probably recognize He’s with us always. As Psalm 139 proclaims, there’s no way we can flee His presence, no place we can go where He isn’t already there. And that’s good news, because it is in His presence that we receive strength, power, protection, and peace. While He’s always with us, it can take practice to become aware of and learn to rest and find shelter in His presence. I’m learning to pause when I feel anxious or overwhelmed to close my eyes, prayerfully connect with God, and receive comfort from His embrace. The more I do this, the easier this becomes. My hope is that I’ll become so skilled at emotionally regulating myself with the Lord that I won’t do or say things I regret when under stress or in fearful circumstances. We all tend to behave uncharacteristically when we feel threatened, sad, anxious, or depressed. But we have instant and constant access to the all-powerful God who surrounds us with His loving embrace. That’s the image I receive when I consider today’s verse. I picture my heavenly Father’s strong arms around me, acting like a protective barrier. This Scripture begins with an all-inclusive invitation. “Whoever dwells,” the psalmist says, reminding us that God longs for all of us—those with respectable, church-attending backgrounds and those who’ve spent their lives running from God and into sin—to dwell, linger, and remain in His shelter. The ancient Hebrews reading Psalm 91 would’ve immediately thought of how God led them through the wilderness with a cloud by day that hovered protectively above them, making His presence tangible and visible, guiding them every step of their journey, and shielding them from the sun’s intense rays. The Lord doesn’t change. He watches over, guides, and protects us as faithfully as He did the often-rebellious Jews so long ago. I’m often comforted when I consider the unfaithful attitudes and behaviors of people to whom God remained faithful because it reminds me of His free and inexhaustible gift of grace. As Psalm 103:10 states, He doesn’t treat us as our sins deserve, and I’m so grateful for that. He doesn’t hold grudges, make us earn His favor or protection, or withhold His goodness. We can trust that, in all He does, doesn’t do, and allows, He always has our best interests in mind. While He doesn’t condone or bless sin by any means, He does invite us all to come to Him, build an ever-deepening relationship with Him, and allow Him to comfort, heal, and strengthen us with His love. He is our shelter. As Psalm 27:5 states, “… He will hide me in the shelter of His sacred tent and set me high upon a rock” (NIV). Today’s verse refers to God as the Most High, Elohim in the original Hebrew. This name for God emphasizes his power, strength, and authority. He is above everyone and everything—every earthly system, over every national leader, and greater than all the forces of hell combined. His power and wisdom are limitless, His strength unconquerable, and His plans immutable. What He says happens and what He ordains always comes to pass. Those who make God their dwelling place by learning to recognize His voice, turning to Him in times of trouble and overwhelm, and regularly resting in His presence will find rest. Consider what most exhausts you. It’s usually not the event or task itself that leads to our fatigue but rather all the expectations, obligations, and emotional weight we attach to it. Our fears of failure, and what might happen should we fail, tend to feel heaviest. The more we stress and fret, the bigger that challenge in front of us seems to grow, blinding us to God’s power and promises. But when we pause to rest in His presence, He reminds us of comforting truths, such as that He crafted His plans for us long before we took our first breath. Or that He’s recorded every day of our lives in His book before a single one came to pass. He might remind us of His promise to work all things, including our mistakes, for our good and His glory. Or perhaps He’ll simply hold us in His soul-strengthening embrace. Lastly, today’s verse states that we find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This reminds me of a game my daughter and I used to play when she was young. On sunny days, we’d go outside and try to stomp on one another’s shadows. This required proximity, closeness. Similarly, resting in God’s shadow requires remaining close to Him—through prayer, Bible reading, attending church, connecting with other believers, and quietly sitting in His presence. Intersecting Life & Faith: Jesus phrased it this way: Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing (John 15:4-5, emphasis mine). Here’s the good news. According to James 4:8, the moment we turn toward God, He is already moving, with open arms, toward us, drawing us deeper into His loving, protective, sheltering embrace.

The wonder of God's creation is all around us. Look at the flowers, the birds, and the tiniest insects, and you'll discover the amazing plan and intricate design of His creations. And then think about how much more he cares for us and his entire universe. In this message, Jill helps us understand God as our Elohim, or creator.

Welcome to Day 2821 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – Our Rights Come from Yahweh, Not Government: Remembering Our Identity as His Imagers. Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2821 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2821 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled:  Our Rights Come from Yahweh, Not Government: Remembering Our Identity as His Imagers. Every generation must wrestle with a foundational question: Where do our rights come from? Are they granted by kings or constitutions? Earned by the powerful or secured by majority vote? According to the biblical worldview, the answer is none of these. Our rights come from Yahweh, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. To suggest they originate from human authority is not only false, it is blasphemous. It denies the Creator's role, rejects our identity as His imagers, and places man on a throne that belongs to God. The first segment is: Imagers of Yahweh: The Source of Human Dignity and Rights. Genesis one verses twenty-six and twenty-seven declares that humanity was created in the image of God. This status is not abstract theology; it is the foundation of human dignity, moral agency, and inalienable rights. As tselem Elohim, or image-bearers of God, we were designed to reflect His justice, creativity, and authority into creation. These rights are not privileges handed down by human rulers. They are built into our identity. A just government can recognize them, but it cannot invent, redefine, or revoke them without attempting to overrule the divine order. The second segment is: Psalm 82: A Warning to Overreaching Authorities. Psalm eighty-two gives a powerful warning to rulers, both spiritual and earthly, who abandon justice and seek divine status for themselves. Yahweh stands in the midst of the divine council and declares: “How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.” (Psalm eighty-two verses two and three) These elohim—spiritual beings set over the nations after Babel (cf. Deuteronomy 32:8)—were supposed to govern in service to Yahweh's justice. But they became corrupt, turning authority into domination and stewardship into self-exaltation. God's judgment is clear: “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince.” (Psalm eighty-two verses six and seven) Even divine beings are not above accountability. When rulers, spiritual or human, begin to claim what is Yahweh's, they are sentenced to judgment and death. This psalm is not just a critique of heavenly rebellion. It is a warning to every earthly power that seeks to elevate itself above the boundaries of its commission. The third segment is: God-Ordained Government: Good When Restrained. It is vital to understand that government itself is not evil. Scripture makes clear in Romans thirteen verses one through four that governing authorities have been instituted by God to uphold justice, reward good, and punish evil. When functioning within their God-ordained limits, governments are a blessing, a mechanism to restrain sin, protect the weak, and preserve order. “For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad… for he is God's servant for your good.” (Romans thirteen verses three and four) But government is a servant, not a source. It is a minister, not a maker of rights. When it forgets this and begins to act as a god, declaring what is right and wrong apart from Yahweh, redefining humanity, or demanding worship in the form of absolute obedience, it follows the path of the rebellious elohim in Psalm eighty-two. The fourth segment is: The Blasphemy of Rights by Government Decree. To say that rights come from government is not a neutral civic claim; it is theological theft. It denies the Creator and elevates human authority beyond its limits. In doing so, it commits a form of blasphemy by attributing to man what belongs only to Yahweh. This is the great danger of modern political ideologies that redefine liberty, marriage, life, speech, and even identity based on the will of the state. These are not new visions of justice; they are echoes of Psalm 82's corruption. The fourth segment is: A Battle of Allegiances. This is not just a political issue, it's a matter of worship. Who defines right and wrong? Who gives life value? Who has the final authority? If we answer with “the state,” then we have bowed to a false god. Believers must remember that we are citizens of a higher Kingdom. Our allegiance is first to Yahweh. While we are to honor legitimate government, we are also called to oppose any authority that claims divine status by redefining what God has already declared. In Conclusion Psalm eighty-two ends with a cry that echoes across time: “Arise, O God, judge the earth; for You shall inherit all the nations!” (Psalm 82:8) Yahweh is the true and final Judge. All powers, spiritual and earthly, will answer to Him. As His imagers, we are to reflect His truth, proclaim His justice, and resist the lie that our rights come from anywhere else. Governments matter, but only when they know their place. Our rights are not permissions granted by rulers. They are divine gifts. To deny this is not just wrong. It is blasphemy. For further study consider theses Discussion Questions. How does Psalm 82 illustrate the dangers of authorities claiming divine status? Why is it important to distinguish between government as a servant versus a source of rights? What happens to human dignity when governments redefine what it means to be human? How can Christians honor legitimate government while resisting blasphemous claims of sovereignty? What are some modern examples of governments stepping beyond their God-given role?
