So…Who Were The Elohim?


As Clif High and Bo Polny continue their feud on Twitter over the “Elohim” or the “El” as Clif calls them, I thought it would be good for me to remind everyone of what the Bible has to say about all of this — and specifically seek out the counsel of Dr. Michael Heiser, who was an absolute genius.

Let’s dig in….

Many of you know Clif High.

Many of you also know my good friend Bo Polny.

Clif has recently gone a bit extreme on Twitter attacking Bo Polny and many others for supporting the “ELohim worship cult” — his words, not mine.

Here’s are some examples:

If all that sounds a bit “out there” to you, I’m going to surprise you by making two statements right off the bat….

One, Clif is very intelligent, brilliant even.

It’s why we’ve covered him and his research here many times before.

It’s also why I still have an open invitation for him to come on my show and chat with me.

Two, while I think he comes to the wrong conclusion and misses the most important parts of the entire topic, I don’t think he’s entirely that far off.

In fact, I think Clif is closer to the truth than most “Christians” who have not read their Bibles or who dismiss anything supernatural right out of the Bible.

So we start there and that’s why I’m taking my time to respond to this at all.

Because I actually think Clif is shining a light on a great topic and something that will soon be at the forefront of our news, whether you want it to be or not — and that is “aliens”.

Clif comes right out and calls them “space aliens”.

I don’t think that’s accurate, but we’re both talking about the same general thing.

Clif’s position can be surmised from his Tweets (I gave you a small sampling above) but as best I understand it here is a short summary: Clif believes the “ELohim” or the “El” for short came to Earth somewhere between 2,000 and 6,000 years ago and essentially enslaved all of humanity.  Clif calls them the space aliens.  Clif believes they are all evil, all of them, and that they’ve essentially enslaved humanity and now they’re soon coming back to claim what’s theirs.  Oh, and Clif believes “YHWH” or “Yahweh” is not the supreme Father God, Creator of the Universe, but actually a lower-level “Elohim”.  I think that about sums it up, but I don’t want to put words in his mouth.

Now, as I said above I’m going to shock some people because I don’t think he’s that far off on about 75% of it.

But I also believe the 25% he gets wrong is the most vital part.

I’m not nearly smart enough to go toe-to-toe with Clif….nor do I intend to.

Not my thing.

I haven’t read all the source material Clif has.

I’m not an expert in linguistics like Clif is.

But I do know someone who is.

Or I should say who was, sadly we lost him recently.

Dr. Michael Heiser was perhaps the foremost authority on semitic languages on the face of the Earth.

A brilliant guy, and in addition to his brilliance his gift was being able to communicate the most complicated concepts in a way that was not only easy to understand but also very captivating.

In that way, he and Clif are very similar.

So while I don’t live and work in the same sphere as these guys, I can confidently say Dr. Michael Heiser is one of the giants and I would put his work up against Clif’s all day long.

I so badly wish he was still alive so these two could have a conversation or debate, but sadly that will never happen.

And I don’t have any desire to have a debate or to “win” an argument with Clif.

I don’t expect that would ever happen.

I publish this for the benefit of everyone else out there reading what Clif is posting, or what Bo is posting, or what I am posting….and all the billions of people who will soon be forced to deal with this in the next 1-2 years when I believe the “space aliens” will truly present themselves.

So let’s just get right into it….

I’m going to stick to Dr. Michael Heiser’s teachings, not Noah’s thoughts, ok?

Let’s start off with the word “Elohim”….

Clif is right that Elohim is plural (it can also be singular).

What is an Elohim?

Elohim is a term that describes “place of residence”. Every member of the spiritual world is an Elohim, but there’s ONE who is above all.

Dr. Heiser explains:

Backup here:

And now what of Yahweh?

“Yahweh is the God of gods.” Well, not really, because there aren’t any other ones. But again, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense in a lot of passages, but we define monotheism that way. So what my advice to people is, look, dump the terminology. Just describe what a biblical writer would believe about the uniqueness of Yahweh. Biblical writers believed was that there were many elohim. Only one of them is Yahweh. He is unique when it comes to a specific set of attributes. So Yahweh is an elohim, (there’s a bunch of those) but no other elohim is Yahweh.

Watch here:

Backup here:

Ok, so that was our terminology lesson…

Clif and Dr. Heiser have a fundamentally different understanding of the word “ELohim” although it is similar in many aspects.

And as I said above, I do think Clif is much closer to the truth of our world than even most Christians who have never read their Bibles to know it is a supernatural book through and through!

So now let’s go deeper….

I am borrowing this from Dr. Heiser as well, but he was fond of saying if you ask a modern day person why there is “bad” in the world, they’ll point to the Garden of Eden.

True and fair enough.

But if you asked an ancient Israelite, they would point to three events — three “falls” of the human race:  First, the Garden of Eden with the serpent tempting Adam and Even and introducing sin into the world.

But second, they would point to the Genesis 6:4 incursion of the Fallen Angels and the Nephilim that were created — something we’ve covered here many times before.

Third, they would point to Deuteronomy 32:8 where God divided up the Nations:

“When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.”

Translation: that says God divided up the people of the world into Nations according to the “Sons of God” (i.e. the Principalities that Paul so often talks about in the New Testament).

These are real beings, and they were members of the Divine Council.

More on that in a moment.

Not co-equal gods, but certainly members of God’s council (something else almost never taught in church).

If you look at the footnote of the quoted text above, some translations translate it “children of Israel” because they are not comfortable with “Sons of God”, it creeps them out.

But look at the footnote Bible Gateway gives you on what the true language is:

Angels of God, or Sons of God.

The “DSS” refers to the Dead Sea Scrolls, which were only recently uncovered and which are widely believed by scholars to be one of the oldest and thus most reliable translations available.

That is the correct translation.

Then read verse 9:  “But Israel is the LORD’s portion”.

In other words, let me sum it all up for you:  God is angry with what people have done at Babel.  They have not disbursed and spread out on the Earth the way he instructed them, so he divides them up into Nations and he assigns each a ruler — an Angel or a Son of God.

But God keeps Israel for himself so that in the event all other Nations become corrupt (and they do), he can still fulfill his original plan that he had in the Garden of Eden through Israel.

I hope you’re tracking with me, because you’re going to see the News in an entirely new light when you understand this.

It’s Ephesians 6:12:  “12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

I know you’ve all read that verse many times, but does it make a lot more sense now?

Each Nation does indeed has a ruler over it, a “Principality”.

It’s Daniel 1013: “But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; but lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, and I remained there with the kings of Persia.”

I’m telling you, this stuff is all over your Bible, and once you start to see it and connect the dots, things come alive!

Now let’s really pull it home for you and especially for Clif….

It’s Psalm 82:

Psalm 82

A Plea for Justice

A Psalm of Asaph.

God has taken his place in the divine council;     in the midst of the gods he holds judgment: “How long will you judge unjustly     and show partiality to the wicked? Selah Give justice to the weak and the orphan;     maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy;     deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”

They have neither knowledge nor understanding;     they walk around in darkness;     all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

I say, “You are gods,     children of the Most High, all of you; nevertheless, you shall die like mortals     and fall like any prince.”[a]

Rise up, O God, judge the earth,     for all the nations belong to you!

If anything I have said so far makes you nervous, understand this is ALL in your Bible.

Have you ever read Psalm 82?

It connects with everything I just told you — and it explains a lot of what Clif is saying.

YHWH takes his place in the Divine Council, in the midst of the gods he holds judgment!

(Also, verse one contains the word “Elohim” used twice in the same sentence, once singular and once plural)

Don’t be made at me, I didn’t write that….Jesus did!  It’s in your Bible!

So does that mean we have multiple gods?

No, of course not.

But we do have multiple “Sons of God” that YHWH put on his Divine Council.

And you can’t read that to just be the Trinity because in the remainder of the Psalm, these other “gods” (Elohim, simply meaning spiritual beings created by God living in the spiritual realm) they all turn evil and go bad.

Psalm 82 is recounting what happens after Deuteronomy 32.

God assigned the Nations of the world each to one of his members of his Divine Council.

He trusted them to rule fairly and justly but they all turn corrupt.

Sound familiar?

So they face judgment and God/YWHW carries out his original plan through HIS PORTION, which is Israel.

This is why I say in 75% of this Clif is spot on…

Call them “space aliens” or the Fallen Angels / Elohim from the Divine Council, they’re one and the same!

And yes, they are mostly evil!

They brought sin and death and destruction to the Earth.

They ruled over us (the Bible tells us that in Psalm 82)…

They ruled unfairly and unjustly!

And they will be punished for it very severely by YHWH.

But that’s where Clif’s analysis falls apart.

Clif lumps YHWH in with the fallen members of the Divine Council and that is simply not supported by anything in your Bible — quite to the contrary!

It would be no different than someone observing humanity and seeing people who murder and kill and then saying all of humanity is evil and doomed!

Is that a fair analysis?

Dr. Michael Heiser does it better than I ever could….and so now I want to give you his 4-part “Supernatural Seminar” series.

It will absolutely blow your mind, and it will explain what I just told you above much better than I did.

Dr. Michael Heiser is a real treat and I think you’re going to love this.

So there you go….

I’m not going to win a debate with Clif, nor is that my intention with this article.

My intention is simply to introduce you to the wonderful and brilliant teachings of Dr. Michael Heiser and present a counterbalance to anyone who might read what Clif is posting on Twitter…

I used to wonder how the entire world would turn and wage war on Israel, especially after the Holocaust and the severe reaction to it.

The “never again” reaction.

How in the world would that happen again, I always wondered….

But seeing what Clif is posting to Twitter and knowing that the final “space alien” card will soon be played on the world stage, now I see it.

So I post this to help as many people as possible along the way.

Do not fall for the Grand Delusion!

My Take On The “Coming Great Deception”

I'll wrap up by giving you my most recent conversation with Bo Polny where he talks about being suddenly attacked by Clif on Twitter:

Bo Polny Attacked By Clif High On Twitter

I was going to say that Bo Polny and Clif High are engaged in a vicious fight on Twitter, but I don't really think that's accurate.

It can't really be a "fight" when it's all one sided.

And that's what seemingly happened this week as Clif High "sucker-punched" Bo Polny on Twitter.

Why?

For his faith in Jesus Christ.

Sad to see so much anger coming out of Clif.

Here is one such Tweet where he plainly states "no more kindness" and then references the "Elohim Worship cult":

If you're wondering what in the world any of that even means, I chatted with Bo about it recently and I have that full video for you down below.

But first allow me to summarize....

Clif High, who we have covered here many times before and who still has an open invite to come on my show, has a belief system that the "Elohim" of the Bible are all basically evil space aliens.

Yes, that's about the most simple summary of his belief.

He calls them the "El" for short.

He believes they came to Earth 6,000 years ago and basically enslaved all of humanity.

You know what the crazy thing is?

He's not entirely off base.

(He's not entirely right either, and he misses some MAJOR big things)

But he's not entirely off base and many of you may be surprised to learn your Bible tells you about parts of this.

Let me give you my summary and you may see many large parts of both beliefs overlapping.

I believe the Bible DOES teach that there was an infiltration (as Rob Skiba once coined it, an "Archon Invasion") -- which is described right in Genesis 6:4:

"The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown."

There are MANY different interpretations of this verse, but the oldest and most predominate (and I believe most accurate) interpretation is that the "Sons of God" were Fallen Angels who left Heaven, came to Earth, and mated with Human Women.

That produced the "Nephilim" -- essentially a hybrid Giant Race on the Earth.

As always, the Bible always confirms a thing in more than one spot, and this is confirmed in several places, one of which is Jude 6:

"And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day."

The other confirmation is all through the Old Testament....

Have you ever read the Old Testament and wondered about all the Giant Clans that are referenced in the Old Testament?

Spoiler alert: that wasn't just a metaphor or euphemism....they truly were Giants -- Nephilim -- from the unholy mixing of Fallen Angels and women.

Here's just a small list of the largest Giant Clans referenced in the Old Testament:

  1. Nephilim: Mentioned in Genesis 6:4 and Numbers 13:33. They are often considered to be giants or mighty warriors of old.
  2. Anakim: Descendants of Anak, mentioned in Numbers 13:28, 33; Deuteronomy 1:28; 2:10, 21; 9:2; Joshua 11:21-22; 14:12, 15. They were a formidable giant race in Canaan.
  3. Rephaim: Found in several passages like Genesis 14:5, 15:20; Deuteronomy 2:11, 20; 3:11, 13; Joshua 12:4; 13:12. They are often translated as "giants" or "dead," and are associated with a group of people living in Canaan.
  4. Emim: Mentioned in Deuteronomy 2:10-11 as a large and fearsome people akin to the Anakim, living in the region later inhabited by the Moabites.
  5. Zamzummim: Also known as Zuzim, mentioned in Deuteronomy 2:20, were a people similar to the Rephaim, living in the area later occupied by the Ammonites.
  6. Goliath: The famous giant from Gath, encountered by David, as narrated in 1 Samuel 17.
  7. The Brothers of Goliath: These include Lahmi (1 Chronicles 20:5), Ishbibenob, Saph (also known as Sippai), and a giant with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot (2 Samuel 21:16-22; 1 Chronicles 20:4-8).
  8. Og, King of Bashan: Described in Deuteronomy 3:11 as the last of the Rephaim. His bedstead, said to be made of iron, was of great size, suggesting his giant stature.
  9. Sons of Anak: Specifically mentioned in Numbers 13:33 as part of the Anakim, they were encountered by the Israelite spies in Canaan.
  10. Gibborim: While not a specific clan, this term is used in Genesis 6:4 and refers to "mighty men" or "heroes" of old, sometimes thought to be giants or demigods.

Ever wondered why God told the Israelites to utterly wipe out these clans and even kill the women and children after a victory in war?

Simple -- he was removing this hybrid, Nephilim DNA from the Earth.

It's all right there in your Bible folks!

And suddenly when you connect these dots, your Old Testament starts to make a whole lot more sense!

So Clif isn't totally far off in his analysis.

There were a group of Elohim (Fallen Angels) who came to Earth and committed some horrific acts.

And as famed Semitic language scholar Dr. Michael Heiser taught so eloquently, "Elohim" is just a word to describe spiritual beings not embodied in human flesh.

As Dr. Heiser would put it: "Yahweh was an Elohim, but no other Elohim is Yahweh."

So things get messy when we substitute the word "God" for "Elohim".  That's a bad translation.

Back to Clif....

The deviation Clif takes from a view that I believe is actually documented all over the place in your Bible, is that not all Elohim are evil.

The other deviation he takes is he classifies Yahweh (YHWH) not as the supreme Creator God (God the Father) but as just a low-ranking "Elohim".

So those are two significant deviations, but he's not as far out in left-field as it may seem on first glance.

Anyway, there's your background for you!

Now back to my chat with Bo Polny.....

Bo Polny was back on my show yesterday and I'm so excited for you to see our latest interview.

This one was unlike any we've done previously....

We started out with a discussion about Clif High who recently attacked Bo on Twitter for seemingly no reason.

So I had to ask him about it.

We talked about that and then we took a look at an incredible 5-minute video that you HAVE TO see.

Oh, and of course I couldn't let Bo go without talking about Crypto and what's coming next.....

Spoiler Alert: "Got Crypto?"

You're going to want to!

Ok, I've got three ways for you to watch.....

We're headed into some incredible times....and I can't wait!

It's a really exciting time to be living through if you're on the right side of this major shift in the world-wide financial system!

They are crashing this old system and rolling it right into the new one.

The old system is broken beyond repair, so they can't fix it, they just have to create a new one.

And I'm not a financial advisors, but I sleep a WHOLE lot better at night holding Gold, Silver and Crypto.....
