Greetings One & All,
Great topic - long-time researcher of said subject(s) - here's some info I feel will be of assistance to you in your quest:
There's a gentleman by the name of Dr. Michael S. Heiser who's done a lot of work on the subject at hand. Some of you may recognize his name from Richard C. Hoagland's Conference in the late 1990s called "God, Man, & ET," as well as numerous appearances on Coast To Coast AM. His doctoral paper was written on "Jewish Binitarian Monotheism" (paradoxical, no?) & he is one of a select few scholars globally to take on such a topic. He maintains several websites, one of which is exclusively devoted to the subject of Israel's "Divine Council." His main page has links to all of his other web pages, as well as other resources to help everyone looking for quality information for biblical history, texts & translations.

While there are some who will poo-poo him because he's always debunking UFO researchers, archaeologists, gnostics, & a lot of so-called "New Age" philosophers, he's simply playing devil's advocate to balance out the seemingly one-sided discussions going on across the globe in all of said areas. While I don't always agree with him, he really has reminded me on more than one occasion that truth seeking requires due diligence & sound logic..... that means e-v-e-r-y rock and e-v-e-r-y bush you come across in your travels. He asks you constantly to ask yourself the difficult questions in regards to what/who you believe in. In that fashion, the truth always prevails. Most of the channelling transcripts on L & L will show that this is a revered trait amongst members in The Confederation.
He can come across as being snobby & rude sometimes, but nowhere near the degree of vitriol slung his way from all the bubble reality groups he's bursted over the years. The majority of Phds I've come across in my life's travels are like that any way. They've worked those brainy-brains quite a bit over the years & sometimes, not always, just sometimes, they become very disturbed at the realization of how ignorant of the world society truly is. Sure, it's an ego thing, but on some level of thinking, they have a point.
(sigh) But, I digress....
Here's a few things you'll find on some of the websites that will definitely be of interest to you all:
- The word "Elohim" is a noun that can be singular or plural depending on the conjugation of the verb & the tense of the other words around it. In the case that Dr. Heiser makes, ancient hebrew/aramaic texts show this word to be a plurality. Not only does "The Creator" consist of many beings, they're all equal. He refers to them as "The Divine Council."
- The word "nacash" has two meanings, & just like above, the other words around it will determine which of the two definitions are ascribed to it. Most everyone knows it as "serpent," but it also means "shining one." The word describing the garments worn can be "scaly," but it also can be "iridescent" or "pearlescent."
- The word "demon" only appears twice throughout the entire OT, & never with any reference to hellfire or damnation.
- There are NO accounts of "demonic possession" anywhere in the OT.
- The word "daimon" that appears in the NT means "divine spirit" & is used for BOTH "good" & "evil" spirits.
It just goes on & on... distortion after distortion after distortion... the term "lost in translation" truly comes to bear here. Heiser really gets you thinking about what you've learned throughout your life & who you learned it from. I recommend his websites & videos on TooYube & Vimeo all the live long day.
I enjoy Coast To Coast AM from time to time & George Noory has such a varied lot of guests appear that the novelty never seems to wear off. Check out Heiser's interviews from there (the most recent was in February of 2K12) & also check out an interview Noory did a couple of years back with John Rhodes, "The Cryptohunter." He was on there for two hours fielding calls & in the last minute or so he talks about the history and use of heraldry throughout the ages. The serpent was used in heraldry the world over, for a long, long time & he states that somewhere along in history the symbol of the serpent disappeared & was replaced by the eagle. Unfortunately, the show ended before he could elaborate on that point & it's been bugging me ever since. There is nothing on his website that talks about that at all & I've never heard him get into that on any other interview of him I've ever heard or seen. There are a couple of sites out there that mention this BRIEFLY, but there's really nothing else to go on.
While Hoagland has his speculations that the eagle emblem came with the population of Mars when they migrated here, I have another notion.
Taking into account what we learn from Heiser's "Introduction To The Divine Council" & the "nacash" in Eden turning out to be a "shining one" (& no, don't tell me it was Lucifer "The Morning Star"... that's so played out it makes me sick to my stomach).... try this on for size:
What happened to the dinosaurs? The Law of One states they died of starvation. We know about the asteroids impacting Earth from the explosion of Maldek & wiping out all the big ones, but what's the prevailing theory amongst the ivory tower types? That the majority evolved into birds, right? Reptile to eagle, ground to air, an evolutionary leap as the planet ascends. I've never really bought in to the whole reptoids thing because there is NOTHING in TLoO that even HINTS at their existence. There are only brief mentions of reptilians in some of the transcripts on L & L, but the Confederation members that are involved in the channelling practice will not comment on the subject in any way that can be interpreted as a confirmation or dismissal of their existence. They speak on other ET races a little bit here & there, but really not much at all. I've been reading L & L's transcripts since 2K4 & I find the quality of their interactions with the Confederation channels to be vastly superior to most other channels. Barbara Marciniak's material speaks to me, as well as Wendy Kennedy's, and I get a real kick out of the Bashar material. How about anybody else?
Check out Heiser's material everyone..... it's top shelf & he's totally STO.... you'll be surprised at how much of his "Divine Council" material echoes with what TLoO talks about.
Love & Light to everyone,
