Paula Fether Supporter Lifelong student of the scriptures

I would advise some caution. He was indeed an expert on ancient semitic languages, but he did not take Genesis literally in its description of how God made the world. He used the phrase "theological messaging" to justify the view that God only wrote of a six-day creation because the people wouldn't have understood evolution, and that Moses apparently got his views of such things from surrounding culture. This impacts the Gospel, because if the Bible can't be accurate on things modern science says are impossible, then what happens to the resurrection of Jesus?

Michael S. Heiser is an Old Testament scholar and Christian author. He is trained in ancient history and Semitic language and in Hebrew. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania.

He ran a ministry called Misqlat. Heiser has authored several books, including "Demons" and "The Unseen Realm."

He sheds light on topics not often discussed in scripture. For instance, the Bible is a supernatural book. He writes about the sons of God, the Watchers, the Nephilim.

Mr Heiser bases his works on the original ancient languages. Therefore, things that seem strange, are because our modern language does not have a correct word to convey the thought.

As a student of scripture, he wondered how he could not have seen certain things! His studies in ancient languages opened his eyes. Today much of what he has revealed is sidestepped.

As he died not quite a year ago, he said he had done his work, and was comfortable that God was waiting to receive him. 

I would say he is biblical. It was his life's work.
