Why Jude 9 Isn't What You Think It Is | Dr. Michael Heiser

Support Dr. Heiser's ministry at https://nakedbiblepodcast.com One of the oddest verses in the short epistle of Jude is Jude 9, which describes some sort of struggle between Michael the archangel and the Devil (Satan). Many commentators see an allusion to Zechariah 3, but in this episode we take a different perspective about the meaning of this verse. Rather than Zechariah 3, certain features of Old Testament cosmic geography are a better backdrop to this odd passage. #michaelheiser #divinecouncil #biblestudy #nakedbiblepodcast \\------------------------\\ Help Support ASFJ: https://aseatforjesus.com/a-seat-for-jesus Website: https://aseatforjesus.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SeatForJesus Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aseatforjesus X: https://x.com/ASeatForJesus 0:00 Unpacking the Mystery of Jude 9 0:47 Beyond the Old Testament Narrative 5:56 Three Flaws in the Zechariah 3 Theory 8:13 The Logic of Cosmic Geography 17:33 The Archangel's Jurisdictional Claim 25:24 The Transfiguration as the Final Answer
