Reversing Hermon is a dizzying, and in some ways impressive display of apophenia. Reading Heiser, at least in this book, is like reading Arthur W. Pink on steroids. I think Heiser is correct that much of the assertions made in the Intertestamental literature with which the New Testament writers and Jesus were familiar, were assumed to be true by them. And, I agree that Jesus’ finished work encompasses all of creation, to include parts of it which exist, and have existed, with which the modern reader may be unfamiliar. I just don’t think we need to engage in making broad connections and correlations, especially ones with which the OT prophets, and NT apostles didn’t bother to directly make, to get there.
