566 Fallen Angels RULE World Leaders Even TODAY - Michael Heiser on Babel and the Divine Council

8 Feb 2026The video explores the idea that world leaders are influenced or controlled by supernatural forces, specifically fallen angels or members of the divine council. This belief is based on a supernatural worldview, citing biblical passages like Ephesians 6:12 and referencing the Tower of Babel incident. The video suggests that these supernatural beings, assigned to different nations after Babel, are responsible for the evil and darkness in the world, but that Jesus will ultimately judge and defeat them.Paul’s theology, particularly his vocabulary for spiritual forces, is rooted in the Deuteronomy 32 worldview, reflecting his mission to the Gentiles. The book of Acts mirrors this by showing the gospel spreading geographically from Jewish communities in the east to the Gentiles, covering the nations listed in Genesis 10. Paul’s desire to reach Spain, the last unmentioned nation, underscores his commitment to fulfilling this mission.Believers are called to be warriors for the kingdom of God, not through physical means, but through prayer. The authority of fallen angels and powers has been delegitimised through Christ’s resurrection and ascension, and believers are empowered to bring others back to God. This understanding of spiritual warfare is rooted in the structure of the divine council and the authority of Christ as Lord.
