The Hebrew Worldview, Ep 3: The Divine Hierarchy

This video went about five minutes longer than ten minutes, folks. Apologies. It was necessary, though, because there are several layers to the divine hierarchy that need to be discussed. God made supernatural and natural imagers, as we have already learned. Here we find that the supernatural imagers, the spiritual sons of God, have been assigned many roles that are pertinent to the maintenance of the cosmos and the protection of the heavenly realm. They were, and some still are, with the ever-present aid of Yahweh, integral to keep everything from collapsing back into chaos. Sources for further research are included below. Check out the video to learn more.
