Episode #067: What Does The Divine Council Do?

In this follow-up to their introductory episode, Clint Archer and Will Brannon dive into the "boots on the ground" activity of the Divine Council. Moving from definition to demonstration, they explore how God utilizes a heavenly assembly of created beings to govern the universe and execute His decrees.Clint and Will walk through striking biblical accounts—from the "lying spirit" in 1 Kings 22 and the assembly of the "sons of God" in Job, to the mysterious "Watchers" in Daniel’s visions. They discuss the hierarchy of the unseen realm, emphasizing that while these beings possess real authority over nations and geographic regions, they remain strictly under the sovereignty of Yahweh.The conversation takes a practical and provocative turn as they examine the "allotment of nations" and wonder aloud if modern cultural shifts—from gender ideology to the abortion industry—reflect a spiritual veil or demonic influence. Closing with a look at Ephesians 6, they remind listeners that the Christian’s weapon in this cosmic battle isn't "binding demons" through rituals, but standing firm in the Gospel and the Word of God.Key topics covered in this episode:    -The Council in Action: Analysis of 1 Kings 22, Job 1, and Daniel 4 & 7.    -The Watchers: Identifying the holy ones who issue edicts in the Book of Daniel.    -Territorial Spirits: Exploring the biblical concept of "princes" over nations and geographic    jurisdictions.    -Spiritual Warfare for Today: Why the "Armor of God" is the only prescriptive strategy for believers.==================================== 👇 Jump to moments (chapters):0:29 – Connecting to the "Unseen Realm" framework1:11 – The "wildest" passage in the Bible3:05 – How God uses the Council to judge King Ahab4:42 – Is God being deceptive?6:33 – Why does an omnipotent God need a Council?8:15 – The "Sons of God" and the limited permission of Satan10:17 – The Unseen Army11:20 – Who are the "Watchers"?13:11 – The Resolution of the Watchers vs. the Sovereignty of Yahweh15:21 – Thrones, Courts, and the Ancient of Days17:42 – Our Future Role21:29 – The only prescriptive way to engage in spiritual warfare23:30 – The Allotment of Nations25:51 – Modern Application: Cultural insanity and demonic influence28:41 – Recommended Resources
