Self-Defense, the 144,000, and the Reclaiming of the Nations - Dr. Michael Heiser Q&A #5

In this Q&A episode, Dr. Michael Heiser addresses whether Scripture allows self-defense, how believers should think about abuse and discipline, and why biblical law must be understood within its ancient cultural setting rather than treated as a timeless endorsement of every ancient practice. He also discusses church leadership, demons, Nephilim, the 144,000 in Revelation, Israel and the Church, and the reclaiming of the nations from a Deuteronomy 32 perspective. The episode also explores the sons of God and pagan deities, canon questions about books like Esther and Judith, the documentary hypothesis, Romans 1 and Babel, and whether Malachi is drawing from the Genesis 6 Watchers tradition.
