This text explores a supernatural worldview of the Bible, asserting that biblical narratives are often filtered by modern rationalism rather than understood through the eyes of ancient readers who processed life in supernatural terms. It argues for the existence of a divine council of lesser divine beings, or "elohim," who served God and were given authority over nations, as referenced in passages like Psalm 82 and Deuteronomy 32. The source reinterprets key biblical events like the Fall, the flood, and the giving of the Law through this divine council framework, suggesting that rebellion among these divine beings is a crucial element. It further connects this ancient understanding to New Testament theology, presenting Jesus as a unique "second Yahweh" and the Church as God's reconstituted divine-human family destined to displace the rebellious divine sons of God. Ultimately, the text advocates for recovering this lost supernatural context to better comprehend the Bible's overarching narrative of God's rule over both visible and invisible realms.
