In this week’s episode on Entangled Kingdoms, we begin our adventure into parts of Creation and Scripture that are likely very unfamiliar to most. As Westerners, thinking through spiritual and supernatural realities, and their origins, aren’t something we necessarily consider very often. You may remember from our conversations about worldviews, the “Haunted Worldview” in general had a much more “spiritual world” mindset. As Christians, we’d do well to open ourselves up to seeing more of the spiritual realities around us, because as you will hopefully begin to see in today’s episode, such realities are crucial in understanding the narrative of Scripture. The authors themselves were steeped in this knowledge and ways of thinking about the spiritual realm.

In this episode, then, we will cover three primary topics:

* The eternal, uncreated nature of YHWH

* How we are to think of, and interpret the creation of the “heavens” mentioned in Genesis 1:1

* The creation of YHWH’s celestial family, the other spiritual beings we see throughout scripture
