The Bible gives very little as to the physical description of Jesus when He was on the earth with His disciples. Interestingly, however, the Bible is much more detailed in its description of Jesus in His glorified/Heavenly/Resurrected form, and the description of the Heavenly Jesus by John in Revelation 1 is equal parts beautiful and terrifying. What does Jesus look like now, in Heaven?
Angels are very powerful and somewhat mysterious heavenly beings that are not described with a high amount of detail in the Bible. Archangels, of which Michael is one, are even less covered by biblical texts. Given how little the Bible says, what can we know about these powerful beings? How many of them are there? What are there names? How much power do they have? Today's episode covers archangels!
Most Christians believe that the Bible teaches that there is only ONE God. And that is true, the way that most Christians mean it. However, there are many passages in the Bible (like our focus passage: Psalms 82) that seem to indicate that there are many other Heavenly beings/deities/gods (little 'g') that are under God's rule. Psalms 82 even seems to indicate that God presides over these heavenly beings in a sort of divine council. What's that all about?
False teachers have, in many cases, become more aggressive in proselytizing and door to door 'evangelism' than genuine teachers. How should Christians respond to false teachers? With debate? Discussion? Hospitality? Hostility? Burning oil? The second letter of John gives good and practical advice here.
Numbers 35 introduces us to a very mysterious figure in the Bible: The Avenger of Blood. It is the job of this avenger to kill (yes, kill!) those who commit intentional murder. How did this Old Testament process of justice and judgment work, and are we still in an 'eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth age?" Also: Cities of Refuge.
