God’s Divine Council {Shan’s Notes}
Shannon’s notes on our Divine Council episode
The Sons of God have important roles within the heavenly realms… Some were put in place to watch over the world- We saw this in Genesis 6… and in 1 Enoch. Wee also have the Sons of God who are seated on the Divine Council….
The Divine Council
I know we had mentioned in our previous episode on the Divine council that there are scholars that will argue that the sons of God from Genesis 6 were not part of the Divine Council and some say they believe they were… I had mentioned that I fall into the camp of believing there are Sons of God who are The Watchers that are the fallen of Genesis 6 and then there are different Sons of God that make up The Divine Council…

God’s Throne Room
After this I looked, and there in heaven was an open door. The first voice that I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”
2 Immediately I was in the Spirit, and there was a throne in heaven and someone was seated on it. 3 The one seated there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian stone. A rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald surrounded the throne.
4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones sat twenty-four elders dressed in white clothes, with golden crowns on their heads.
5 Flashes of lightning and rumblings and peals of thunder came from the throne. Seven fiery torches were burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God. 6 Something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal, was also before the throne.
Four living creatures covered with eyes in front and in back were around the throne on each side. 7 The first living creature was like a lion; the second living creature was like an ox; the third living creature had a face like a man; and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings; they were covered with eyes around and inside. Day and night they never stop,[b] saying,
Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God, the Almighty,
who was, who is, and who is to come.”Revelation 4:1-11
