If you have the Divine Council world view understanding of scripture, I have a thought exercise for you.
Are you ready? Let's start with after the Tower of Babel, when the Most High allotted the nations among the sons of God;
“When [El-yon] gave to the nations their inheritance,
when he divided mankind,
he fixed the borders of the peoples
according to the number of the sons of God [Bene Elohim].
But the Lord’s [YHWH] portion is his people,
Jacob his allotted heritage.”
- Deut 32:8–9
Those sons of God later rebelled,
and here is their judgement;
"God [Elohim] has taken his place in the divine council;
in the midst of the gods [Elohim] he holds judgment"
- Psalm 82:1
Then they were sentenced;
"I said, “You are gods [Elohim],
sons of the Most High [El-yon], all of you;
nevertheless, like men you shall die,
and fall like any prince.”
- Psalm 82:6–7
It’s a common modern view that YHWH and El-yon are the same being... But what if they’re not?
Deuteronomy says El-yon (the Most High) divided mankind according to the number of the sons of God (which works out to be around 70 going by The Table of Nations) and then YHWH.
So, all sons of God are said to have rebelled... except YHWH? What if YHWH isn’t who we think (or are lead to believe) he is?
In Revelation we see a scroll that no one can open...
"And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”
- Rev 5:2
But we see that Jesus is able to!
And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”
- Revelation 5:5
What if this scroll is the contract for humanity that only Jesus, through fulfilling YHWH’s laws, allows him the ability to reclaim mankind!
Note, before the final take down of the enemy (Satan/Devil), a 3rd temple is to be built and he will be seated in the temple declaring themselves God! (2 Thess 2:1-4)
Who demanded the 1st and 2nd temple?
Who told us that we’re now His temple?
Is there a pattern for who would then be in the 3rd?
There is also to be a great final deception though...
What greater deception than to have everyone, especially the Christians worshipping the WRONG God!
This is why it's so important that the discussion around who YHWH really is continues and that all the Bible believing Christians out there are able to be open minded to look at the scriptures/text, as it is, without any doctrine/dogma overshadowing it.
Let the text say what it says!
