The title of this post is a misleading mash-up – what I want to draw attention to is a video posted at The Naked Bible which suggests that the idea of “two powers” or “two Yahwehs” can be traced back to within Scripture itself. Not everyone will relate to the speaker’s starting point (which relates this material to apologetics and evangelism), but all are likely to find the talk interesting, as it surveys an impressively wide range of material from early Judaism.

Class 4 – Jesus & the Old Testament – Michael Heiser – January 3, 2010 from Grace Church Bellingham on Vimeo.
As of my posting this I’ve watched about half of the lecture, and there has already been enough in it to persuade me that it is worth sharing.
