Ezekiel 17 - The Parable of Two Eagles and a Vine - Dr. Michael Heiser

Ezekiel 17 presents a riddle or parable of two eagles about the treachery of Zedekiah, the puppet governor appointed by Nebuchadnezzar to replace Jehoiachin, the Judahite king taken captive in an earlier wave of exile of which Ezekiel had been a part. Zedekiah would be captured in the last phase of exile, the destruction of Jerusalem, in 586 B.C. Part of the riddle includes messianic language of the branch, verbiage that takes this episode’s discussion into the Bible’s adaptation of the ancient omphalos (“navel of the earth”) myth. https://nakedbiblepodcast.com #michaelheiser #bookofezekiel #divinecouncil #biblestudy #nakedbiblepodcast #aseatforjesus Facebook:   / seatforjesus   Instagram:   / aseatforjesus   X: https://x.com/ASeatForJesus Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/ASeatForJesus...
