FROM THOMAS HORNWhen I first heard the news over a year ago about Dr. Michael S. Heiser's pancreatic cancer prognosis I cannot tell you how much my heart was broken for him, his family, and for the world. He was such a huge blessing to me, my kids, and the SkyWatch family as wells as countless others worldwide over the years.His time was short, but I assured him while he was still alive that his tremendous legacy work will live on in the hearts, minds, and theology of believers internationally as well as in his family into the distant future until we meet again in heaven. His efforts and abilities to parse out meaty theology and to make it comprehensible to what he called “Christian middle earthers” (laypeople that exist between academia and religious loonies) made him unequal in modern times.And I am speaking personally.From the days we first met around the time we were all going to Roswell NM with friends like David Flynn and Guy Malone 25-years ago, Mike quickly became one of my favorite thinkers and Bible scholars.Of course, he was aware of that, because of the many times I came to him over the years with questions about Bible claims being made by others that sometimes I wished were true but relied on him to verify or debunk. He was always willing to help me in such important moments and I grew to trust him as one of my highest academic resources.Who would have known years later that I would be privileged to produce what I esteem two of the most important works my Defender Publishing House has ever published—Mike's masterpieces Reversing Hermon as well as his two-volume Companion to the Book of Enoch.Of course, Mike's Divine Council studies—which I cite in this book—set him apart from all others both in terms of theology as well as history. This truly groundbreaking research and analysis is his Magnum Opus in my opinion and will be quoted (or plagiarized as Oscar Wilde wrote, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness”) until Jesus returns to earth.Yet in the end, it is not what he accomplished academically but who he was personally to the rest of us that will mostly live on in our memories—a dedicated servant of God who gave his life to the mission of the Gospel and made lasting friendships along the way. Mike stayed in my home on numerous occasions, and we visited and laughed as equals even though that was never true intellectually. He was the sage, and I (like so many others) the student hungry to absorb as much as we could from this very insightful theologian.When I first heard from him last year that he had cancer and that he might not make it, it hit me hard. Of course, we're all dying. Maybe not today or this year—but in terms of eternity—someday soon all of us will breathe our final earthly breath should the Lord tarry. But I admired Mike for living the mission while he could and for giving so much to the rest of us by way of example. Dr. Heiser was a true standard in that way.So, if you're listening Mike, thank you for all the days you made better and brighter just by being you. You were such an exemplary part of my life and that of my kids, and for that, we'll always be grateful.I will never forget you and I anticipate the day when we meet again in a place far superior to this.Your friend and student,Thomas HornPS—Dr. Michael Heiser was a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania (M.A., Ancient History) and the University of Wisconsin- Madison (M.A., Ph.D., Hebrew Bible and Semitic Studies). He taught at the college level for many years in class and later via distance education. He served as Scholar-in-Residence at Logos Bible Software, a company that produces ancient text databases and other digital resources for study of the ancient world and biblical studies (among other things Dr. Heiser could translate numerous extinct languages). During his lifetime he received a list of academic honors including from the Society of Biblical Literature (Regional Scholar Award), the James L. Weinstein Fellowship in Hebrew Studies, the Ancient History Department at the University of Pennsylvania, and more. From 2019 until he passed away in 2023, he was Executive Director, Awakening School of Theology and Ministry, Jacksonville, FL.

In week’s show we discuss the ancient astronaut craze, our guest is Dr. Michael Heiser. He has a PHD from the Department of Hebrew and Semitic Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He also earned an M.A. in Ancient History from the University of Pennsylvania (his major fields of study were Ancient Israel and Egyptology). He also earned another M.A. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Hebrew Studies and attended Dallas Theological Seminary. Dr. Heiser is featured on the Debunking Ancient Aliens documentary, which can be found on YouTube. In 1968 Erich von Däniken wrote Chariots of the Gods and Zecharia Sitchin followed that trend in 1976 with the book The 12th Planet. Dr. Heiser discussed their lack of credentials and the way they reach their conclusions. The most problematic of their claims is Sitchin’s interpretation of the Anunnaki. These group of Mesopotamian deities are considered by him to have impregnated human beings or genetically changed our original dna. We also addressed the way that Hollywood, including the Ancient Aliens program on The History Channel, exploits history, archeology and religious texts. According to Dr. Heiser, Ancient Astronaut speculators often rehash new age and occult ideas. However, it is hard to deny that ancient civilizations were obsessed with beings coming from the sky to share revelations with them. I asked Dr. Heiser how is it that religious people often dismiss extraterrestrial life, but consider supernatural phenomena a possible explanation. Chris White who runs the Debunking Ancient Aliens website and Jason Colbito often describe Von Daniken unethical past and Sitchin’s misreading of ancient texts. They also characterize the followers of this theory as members of the cult of Ancient Aliens, which is inspired by 19th Century horror literature, including the book Morning of the Magicians by Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier. Dr. Heiser mentioned the Panspermia hypothesis, which proposes that a spacecraft brought about life on earth through microorganisms. He also addressed the supremacist ideas of some ancient astronaut speculators which believe in the inferiority of some races. This is an interesting revelation as some Nazi figures as Heinrich Himmler had a great interest in aliens. This is described in the book Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the Politics of Identity by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke.
Jacques Berlinerblau a Professor and Director of the Program for Jewish Civilization at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. He holds separate doctorates in ancient Near Eastern Languages and Literatures (New York University, 1991), and in Sociology (The New School for Social Research, 1999). "Secularism" is one of the most misunderstood concepts in the entire American political lexicon. For some, it is a synonym for “atheism.” For others, it is a code word for “tyranny.” And for still others, secularism is a political principle centered around separation of church and state. In this lecture, we will trace the complex evolution of the American secular idea, focusing first on its pre-modern roots in Christian political philosophy. Once we understand the intriguingly religious origin of American secularism, we can better appreciate the many ways in which we argue about it today. Berlinerblau has published on a wide variety of issues ranging from the composition of the Hebrew Bible, to the sociology of heresy, to modern Jewish intellectuals, to African-American and Jewish-American relations. His articles on these and other subjects have appeared in Biblica, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament, Semeia, Biblical Interpretation, Journal of Northwest Semitic Languages, Hebrew Studies, Journal of the American Academy of Religion, and History of Religions. He has published five books, the most recent being How to Be Secular: A Call to Arms for Religious Freedom. His previous works include Thumpin' It: The Use and Abuse of the Bible in Today's Presidential Politics, Heresy in the University: The Black Athena Controversy and the Responsibility of American Intellectuals, and The Secular Bible: Why Nonbelievers Must Take Religion Seriously.
Welcome to the Shaun Tabatt Show! Today my special guest is Dr. Michael S. Heiser and we're talking about his book The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible (Lexham Press, 2015). About The Book: In The Unseen Realm, Dr. Michael Heiser examines the ancient context of Scripture, explaining how its supernatural worldview can help us grow in our understanding of God. He illuminates intriguing and amazing passages of the Bible that have been hiding in plain sight. You'll find yourself engaged in an enthusiastic pursuit of the truth, resulting in a new appreciation for God's Word. Why wasn't Eve surprised when the serpent spoke to her? How did descendants of the Nephilim survive the flood? Why did Jacob fuse Yahweh and his Angel together in his prayer? Who are the assembly of divine beings that God presides over? In what way do those beings participate in God's decisions? Why do Peter and Jude promote belief in imprisoned spirits? Why does Paul describe evil spirits in terms of geographical rulership? Who are the glorious ones that even angels dare not rebuke? After reading this book, you may never read your Bible the same way again. About The Author: Michael Heiser is a scholar in the fields of biblical studies and the ancient Near East, and he is a Scholar-in-Residence at Faithlife, the makers of Logos Bible Software. Michael has an MA in Ancient History from the University of Pennsylvania, and he has an MA in Hebrew Studies and a Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible and Semitic Languages from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He has published widely in scholarly journals and popular periodicals such as Bible Study Magazine, and he teaches ancient languages online at MEMRA.
