Listen "35. The Supremacy of Yahweh"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Wise Counsel, we explore Psalm 24 and Psalm 29, two ancient hymns that assert Yahweh’s cosmic authority using language deliberately aimed at undermining the Canaanite deity Baal. Through polemical poetry and powerful imagery, these psalms declare Yahweh—not Baal—as Creator, King, and Storm God. Drawing on the work of Dr. Michael Heiser and biblical scholars Tremper Longman III and Craig S. Keener, we discover how the biblical writers used cultural context and literary artistry to elevate Yahweh’s name above all others. These texts remind us that even today, Yahweh reigns supreme over the chaos in our lives and in the world.
