Strangely Biblical

Jeff & Shelby take what was learned about the sons of God in the Old Testament and marry that understanding to the extrabiblical texts and New Testament passages that speak of the children of God. The sons of God in both testaments are Yahweh's family but who specifically is in reference shifts. Who are the sons of God? Tune in to part 2 to find out!

Jeff & Shelby discuss theories about the identity of the sons of God in its Old Testament usage. Are they human rulers? Are they descendants of Seth? Or are they divine beings on Yahweh's heavenly court? The way this phrase is used throughout Old Testament scripture is sifted through to see what can be deduced directly from the text. This is part 1 of a 2 part series where the phrase will be explored in its New Testament usage.

Jeff & Shelby discuss the disinheritance of the nations by Yahweh at the tower of Babel, the ultimate plan to bring them all back, how this plan threads through scripture, and the Day of Pentecost as the reversal of Babel. Jesus' ministry and that of his disciples begins the reclamation of the 70 nations dispersed at Babel back to Yahweh, and it's a mission we are still continuing today.
