Why Did Satan Quote Psalm 91? The Answer Reveals Everything

Psalm 91 is often quoted as a promise of protection from sickness, disaster, and harm—but is that what the psalm was originally meant to teach? In this episode, Dr. Michael Heiser explores the ancient supernatural context of Psalm 91, showing how its references to pestilence, destruction, serpents, and arrows were connected with hostile spiritual powers in the ancient world. He also examines how Psalm 91 was understood as an exorcistic and messianic psalm in the time of Jesus, and why Satan quoted it during the temptation in the wilderness. Rather than guaranteeing immunity from disease or tragedy, Psalm 91 ultimately points to the Messiah’s authority over the powers of darkness and the victory shared by those who dwell in the shelter of the Most High. #MichaelHeiser #Psalm91 #Demons #SpiritualWarfare #BiblicalScholarship #SupernaturalWorldview #PowersOfDarkness #Jesus #Messiah #DeadSeaScrolls #NakedBiblePodcast #unseenrealm https://nakedbiblepodcast.com Help Support Us: https://aseatforjesus.com/a-seat-for-jesus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SeatForJesus Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aseatforjesus X: https://x.com/ASeatForJesus
