Mikes work was instrumental in my relationship with the Lord and in helping change the essentially de-supernaturalised worldview I once held, so I am very grateful the Lord commissioned him for this work.

My prayers are for his family and friends that they can take comfort in his life and ministry and may continue to bring his work to other unreached peoples.

Thank you Mike.

A HUGE loss. May he Rest In Peace and blessings over his family, friends, and brethren. 🙏🏻

Sad news and hard to believe he's gone. I've been interacting with his work since 2015. Prayers of comfort for his family and friends.

Sorry to hear about his loss. Praying for his family. Heaven has gained two great brothers in the Lord over the past few weeks.

So sad. I put this on my website a few weeks ago. The only thing I would add now is to double everything I said in level of appreciation. looking at the headline from y'all's blog post today was so hard to look at (the dash and the date of death).

Mike Heiser, Thank You

I’ve always had a fascination for the fringe… and I’m thankful for someone who gave me a biblical worldview that didn’t exclude the unexplainable parts of God’s creation. I have been thinking about Mike Heiser for several days since I read his sobering statement that he only has a few weeks left to live, https://www.facebook.com/mike.heiser.35. I have listened to countless podcasts since 2005ish when the format was created, especially in the years I worked night shift. And though I have probably listened to somewhere around 80–90% of his podcasts from the beginning, I downloaded all 458 tonight for archiving just in case something happens down the road with his site, https://nakedbiblepodcast.com/. These will be added to the library with the 22 Peeranormal shows of his I already had.

I never got the chance to meet him in person, but he did respond to a couple of emails I sent him. Thankfully, I didn’t wait to tell him how much I appreciated his work. After putting it off, I finally wrote him a letter last November stating several specific reasons I was appreciative of his willingness to engage in topics that other Christian ran from. He emailed me stating he got the letter and it “made his day.” That’s the least I could do… many, many times he has made my day with either a printed page, a recorded interview, or an uploaded video.

May the next few days be days of grace for Mike as he is soon to behold the God who is above all gods, the Lord Jesus Christ. Then, the Unseen Realm won’t be unseen to him anymore.

I'm just gutted - it seems so many of best get taken first. Or is it 'taken out', we are in a war after all.

My prayer are with all those close to him and can call him family or friend!

Shalom - good and faithful servant.

I'm so saddened by this news even though I knew that it was soon likely. He will be missed but is in a much better place now!

Simon’s Brother

The people’s scholar who connected the dots for them.

His wife, children and family are in my thoughts and prayers.

If you take nothing else from his life and teaching take this two things:

Read all of your Bible, do not skip over any of it,

God wants you to be a part of your family and wants you to share that with the World.
