The Two Powers In Heaven - Dr. Michael Heiser

https://nakedbiblepodcast.com https://drmsh.com Did the New Testament invent the idea of Jesus’ divinity—or was it already present in the Hebrew Scriptures? This teaching explores the ancient Jewish concept known as “Two Powers in Heaven,” showing how the Old Testament presents Yahweh as both invisible and visible, sometimes appearing as two figures within the same passage. By examining key texts involving the Angel of Yahweh, the Name (HaShem), the Word of Yahweh, and the Cloud Rider of Daniel 7, we see how early Jews could affirm Jesus as divine without abandoning monotheism. Rather than introducing something new, the New Testament identifies Jesus with a second Yahweh figure already recognized in Jewish theology, explaining why Jesus’ claims in Matthew 26 were immediately understood as blasphemous by the high priest. This study connects Old Testament theology, Second Temple Judaism, and Christology, revealing how the foundations of Trinitarian thought emerge directly from Scripture itself.
