The Nephilm Kings in Sheol - The Curious Case of Ezekiel 32:21- TOG EP 145

Ezekiel 23 contains a polemic against the Pharaoh of Egypt being drawn down to the pit, Sheol, by the sword. Ezekiel mentions an encounter with fallen chiefs in Sheol. Are these chiefs, the giant kings—the Nephilim? We will explore what the Septuagint reveals and examine peer-reviewed discussions on this curious case of Ezekiel 32:21.

Ezekiel 32:20-23

English Standard Version

20 They shall fall amid those who are slain by the sword. Egypt is delivered to the sword; drag her away, and all her multitudes. 

21 The mighty chiefs shall speak of them, with their helpers, out of the midst of Sheol: ‘They have come down, they lie still, the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.’

22 “Assyria is there, and all her company, its graves all around it, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, 

23 whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit; and her company is all around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who spread terror in the land of the living.

Uncovering the Mystery of Jesus' Holy Saturday: What Happened in the Underworld?

Holy Saturday follows Good Friday. As Jesus' earthly body was placed into the tomb at 6 PM on Good Friday, His spirit went to the underworld - Sheol. We have some clues from scripture of what Jesus did and where He went between Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. Luke 16, the Rich Man and Lazarus parable, paints a picture of Sheol's appearance and cosmological layout. Who were the prisoners that Jesus preached to? Why were there angels in chains in the abyss? We'll look at some fascinating topics in Second Temple Hebrew angelology.

The Battle for the Keys  by Justin W. Bass - is the book I mentioned on the podcast today.

Cosmology and Demonology in Genesis 1-11 - is my book I read from in the podcast.

Till Next Time

I hope you enjoyed this episode. We never seem to cover what took place on Holy Saturday. This in-between day appears to be the timeframe where Jesus did some serious spiritual warfare. There is a lot of exciting research on this topic. I could spend days talking on the subject. Thank you for stopping by!

 Welcome to the Good Friday special edition of Tales of Glory. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son," - John 3:16. You're invited to listen to the most critical event in the universe's history, where Jesus Christ surrendered His life as the atonement for the sins of humankind. This episode recounts events from the last supper to Jesus' final hours on Good Friday. In Jesus' final hours, Jerusalem fell into supernatural darkness. The earth shook, and the deceased saints walked out of their tombs!

Till Next Time

I hope this special episode of Tales of Glory blessed you. No matter what you're going through, Jesus knows and loves you. He was tortured and beaten so you may be free and experience eternal life with Him.
I plan to set aside some time to create an episode of what occurred while Jesus was in Sheol.

Thank you for tuning in. May Jesus bless you with his story.
God Bless
