Begotten by the Spirit - Dr. Michael Heiser

What does Matthew mean when he says Jesus was “conceived” by the Holy Spirit? In this episode, Dr. Michael Heiser examines the unusual Greek wording of Matthew 1:20 and explains why the term translated “conceived” more literally carries the idea of being “begotten” or “fathered.” By tracing this language through the Septuagint and the Old Testament, he reveals important connections between Jesus, Israel, the Davidic king, divine Wisdom, and the heavenly council. This study shows how a single Greek word can communicate a rich theology of Jesus as the representative of Israel, the promised King, the eternal Wisdom of God, and the divine co-ruler who fulfills the Davidic covenant. The episode also explores how Matthew’s language contributes to a biblical understanding of the relationship between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. #MichaelHeiser #NakedBiblePodcast #BegottenByTheSpirit #Matthew1 #HolySpirit #JesusChrist #BiblicalTheology #BibleStudy #Septuagint #OldTestament #NewTestament #DivineCouncil #SonOfGod #DavidicKing #Trinity #WisdomOfGod #ChristianTheology https://nakedbiblepodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SeatForJesus Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aseatforjesus X: https://x.com/ASeatForJesus
