ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

Deuteronomy 32:
8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
9 But the LORD's portion is his people, Jacob his allotted heritage.
10 “He found him in a desert land, and in the howling waste of the wilderness; he encircled him, he cared for him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 Like an eagle that stirs up its nest, that flutters over its young, spreading out its wings, catching them, bearing them on its pinions,
12 the LORD alone guided him, no foreign god was with him.

Thus the world of human beings is spiritually governed by angels [who trespass their boundaries and desire worship for themselves] BUT Israel is to be the exception - YHWH's portion that would keep alive
the truth of the Creation and the MOST HIGH GOD of Genesis 1.
It makes complete doctrinal sense that the peoples of the world are governed by angelic beings - angels - and religious anthropology confirms this with every hunter gather society and every civilization
ALL having creation stories along with stories of interactions with the spiritual realms. From shamans to high priests. The dragon and serpent are also common to much of human religious history - also worth
noting is the claim by all that dragons talk to humans.
Remember how the priests of Egypt could replicate the first of the plagues brought upon Egypt by their own magic. Where did their power come from?

It is not only Enoch that gives insight to the angelic role of governance but satan himself confirms this when tempting our Lord Jesus -
Luke 4:5 And he led him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said to him, To thee will I give the whole of this authority, and the glory of them, because it hath been delivered to me; and to whomsoever I will, I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship before me, it shall all be thine.
8 And Jesus answered and said to him, It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.

John 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out.
32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

Ephesians 2:1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins
2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience -

2Cor 4:3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

1John 5:19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. [corresponds to Deut 32:9 a spiritual separation]
 
Excuse me please, but do you mean by that statement, the only accurate versions of the Bible, or only "the only accurate ones" for that doctrine?


Bless you ....><>
The only ones with accurate translation of Deut. 32:8, "Angels of God" in LXX, "Sons of God in dead sea scrolls. Maybe this is incorporated in some modern translations, idk, but surely not in most common translations.

Another example is the quote, "let all the angels of God worship him (Yeshua)" in Hebrews 1:6, this is supposed to be a quote from Deuteronomy 32:43, but you ain't gonna find it there unless you read the LXX or dead sea scrolls.

Greetings,

"let all the angels of God worship him (Yeshua)" in Hebrews 1:6,

I am reminded of...

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Luke 2:8-14


Bless you ....><>
