Video description:
Is spiritual conflict a pervasive theme throughout scriptures? What do the Nephilim (Genesis 6) and the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) have to do with this theme? How do these relate to the story of salvation in Christ? And how are current-day believers meant to think of demons, demonic possession, and the general idea of interacting with unseen, spiritual entities? Well, Joel Mudamalle, building significantly off the work of Michael Heiser, tackles all of this in his new book, ‘The Unseen Battle.’
