Top Highlights
“‘Right. There were actually several giant races mentioned in the Bible beside the Nephilim—the Anakim, the Emim, the Zamzummim, the Rephaim.” (Page 242)
“The word is actually borrowed from the Aramaic word for giant, which is naphil.’” (Page 242)
“‘My solution to the image obstacle is based on a point of Hebrew grammar in the text of Genesis 1:26, the primary biblical verse concerning the image: ‘And God said, ‘Let us make humankind in our image.’ ’ I don’t believe the image of God is a thing put into us by God that makes us unique, but rather it’s something we do or are. It’s not a quality; it’s a function. We don’t possess God’s image; we image God.’” (Page 125)
“According to the prophet Isaiah, that’s the name of the heavenly being who rebelled against God some time before humans were created, the one the New Testament later connects with the garden of Eden episode. His full name is Helel ben-Shakar—it means ‘Shining One, son of the dawn.” (Page 132)
“A hero puts aside their own hopes and dreams to help someone else achieve theirs.” (source)

I am very sad to hear of the passing of Michael S Heiser yesterday (2/20/23) but that's just my pain. His has happily ended. His effect on my understanding and how I view God and his Word and even myself and faith have been influenced by him.
