Naked Bible 049 Reclaiming the Nations Acts 13

A recap of Naked Bible Podcast 049 by Michael Heiser. https://nakedbiblepodcast.com/episodes Summary Acts 13 serves as a pivotal turning point in the New Testament narrative, marking the transition from the Jerusalem-centric ministry of the apostles to the mission of Paul and the reclaiming of the Gentile nations. This analysis explores the shift in focus from Peter to Paul, the confrontation with spiritual opposition in Paphos, and the significant theological issues raised in Paul’s sermon at Antioch in Pisidia. Key findings include: • Validation through Resurrection: Paul’s citation of Psalm 2:7 in connection with the resurrection is interpreted not as an "adoptionist" moment where Jesus becomes the Son of God, but as a divine validation of a sonship that existed prior to the event. • Refutation of Soul Sleep: The terminology of death as "sleep" and being "laid with his fathers" is analyzed through the lens of Ancient Near Eastern archaeology and secondary burial practices, which suggest a belief in a conscious afterlife rather than an unconscious state. • Sovereignty and Remnant Theology: The chapter provides a strong affirmation of divine sovereignty through "remnant theology," illustrating God's proactive intervention to ensure the gospel reaches every nation, effectively reversing the disinheritance of nations that occurred at Babel. • The Divine Chess Match: The document introduces a metaphor for sovereignty wherein God’s greatness is demonstrated by his ability to ensure a certain outcome while respecting the genuine free will of human agents.
