Reversing Hermon: Michael Heiser on the Watchers, Nephilim & the Mission of Jesus

What if the wickedness in this world isn't just the result of the Fall — but of something stranger recorded in Genesis 6? Dr. Michael Heiser presents the complete Reversing Hermon seminar: how the Watcher story from 1 Enoch leaks into the New Testament and reframes the entire mission of Jesus. In this nearly 3-hour seminar, Dr. Heiser explores the Enochian framework behind Genesis 6:1–4, the Mesopotamian Apkallu as its cultural backdrop, and the astonishing number of New Testament passages that only make sense once you know this story. The Messiah didn't just come to deal with the Fall — He came to reverse the transgression of the Watchers at Mount Hermon and the disinheritance of the nations at Babel. Topics covered: • The sin of the Watchers and their oath at Mount Hermon (1 Enoch 6–10) • Why Genesis 6:1–4 was not mysterious to a literate Israelite • The Apkallu of Mesopotamia — the cosmic backdrop Genesis is responding to • Why the Book of Enoch was read and cited by early church fathers • How the birth of Jesus signals the reversal of the Watcher transgression • Revelation 12 and the astronomical sign of the Messiah's birth • Romans 10:18 and Psalm 19 — the heavens declaring the Messiah CHAPTERS: 0:00 Introduction & Overview of the Book 7:58 Overview of First Enoch 16:49 The Sin of the Watchers 27:21 The Mesopotamian Apkallu Context 42:47 The Human Element of Biblical Inspiration 45:00 New Testament Connections 45:40 The Birth of Jesus & Revelation 12 47:00 Romans 10, Psalm 19, and the Messiah #WatchersBible #BookOfEnoch #Genesis6 #DrMichaelHeiser #ReversingHermon #SonsOfGod #Nephilim #MountHermon #BiblicalStudy #ASeatForJesus Help Support Us: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/VQEK7RM7WZYV6 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SeatForJesus Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aseatforjesus X: https://x.com/ASeatForJesus
