The lesser gods - No Idols Before God

Reading Michael Heiser may change your perspective and even challenge how you read the Bible. I love it. The early Christians and the Apostles had a very spiritually warfare-driven mindset that gets washed out in later interpretations of the Bible. In my opinion, this has made the Bible more difficult to understand. 

Michael Heiser's content is all over YouTube. Check it out. The two significant books I have loved include The Unseen Realm and Reversing Hermon. Both can be found on Amazon and if you're so inclined, they are also available on Audible.
