  • Jesus is Yahweh

    I have to reduce my rating. I have a critique. Jesus is Yahweh. I think that’s clear with many passages that refer to Yahweh in the Old Testament that the New Testament authors use to refer to Jesus. Especially in the book of revelation.. Maybe I heard you wrong Ronn but it seemed like you said that Jesus is sent by Yahweh, but he’s not Yahweh. This pains me because I love the divine council worldview, but not a view that says Jesus is not Yahweh.

    That was episode 36 “The Two Powers in heaven” more

  • New to DCW? Don’t start here!

    If you are new to the Divine council worldview, don’t start by listening to this podcast. Start with the naked Bible podcast by Michael Heiser he is the one who brought the Divine Council world view to the attention of non scholars.

    You should start with the best scholarship possible when delving into this and while I like Ronn Johnson and he was a guest on the naked Bible podcast his scholarship and understanding of the divine council worldview and the ancient near eastern world in general pal... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP102: Q&A Session #17
Q: What is the DCW stance on the phrase 'the Righteous One' in Acts and 1 John 2:1?
They explain that the phrase 'the Righteous One' is best understood as a title denoting loyalty to Yahweh, not a doctrinal imputation of righteousness. Jesus is portrayed as the faithful one, with the term used to highlight his loyalty and vindication, while noting the difference between moral perfection and faithful loyalty in Old Testament usage.
EP102: Q&A Session #17
Q: Is Psalm 45 verse 6 referring to Jesus?
The hosts acknowledge that Psalm 45 is traditionally seen as referring to Jesus in Christian interpretation, but they discuss the possibility that the author originally wrote with a coming Messiah in mind, allowing the text to develop its messianic sense without forcing a NT-framework onto the Psalm.
EP103: Q&A Session #18
Q: What is the significance of the intertestamental period for understanding Matthew 1 and the coming of Jesus?
Understanding the intertestamental period clarifies the expectations and tensions surrounding the Messiah, the Messiah's lineage, and how Jewish readers would interpret Jesus' emergence within a history of prophecy, exile, and restoration.
EP103: Q&A Session #18
Q: Was God silent during the intertestamental period, or were there ongoing prophetic activities and historical acts shaping the environment for the New Testament?
The hosts argue that God was not silent; there were significant acts and developments—oral traditions, the Maccabean Revolt, rise of rabbis and synagogues, and apocalyptic literature—that provided a rich backdrop for Jesus and the Gospel writers.
EP103: Q&A Session #18
Q: Would you be willing to think of Joseph in Genesis 35 or 37 through 50 as a partial fulfillment of the promises made to Abraham?
Yes, the discussion frames Joseph as a key conduit, showing how the Abrahamic blessing extends through his life and sustains the family through famine, eventually enabling the tribal inheritance and the spread of blessing to Egypt and beyond.
