Michael S. Heiser

Mike Heiser is completing his Ph.D. (Spring 2004) in Hebrew Bible and Ancient Semitic Languages at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  Mike holds an M.A. in Ancient History (Egypt, Palestine) from the University of Pennsylvania and an M.A. from the UW-Madison in Hebrew Bible and Ancient Semitic Languages. 

He has taught biblical studies and biblical theology on the undergraduate level for eleven years.  He has had a lifelong interest in the paranormal, particularly ufology, and the subject of ET life.  Mike has lectured frequently on those topics, specializing in critical evaluation of the belief that UFOs and aliens are found in ancient near eastern texts, including the Bible.  He is an expert on divine beings and angels in the Hebrew Bible, Second Temple Jewish literature, and Canaanite texts.

Mike holds a personal disdain for both intellectual snobbery, and the religious fear of critical thinking (and thinkers) - both of which he feels tend to form an ungodly barrier between general academia, church leadership, and the public whom they should be serving. In that spirit, Heiser authored the The Façade, a mind-blowing novelization of the above subjects, which makes his original perspectives and 20 years of highly credentialed scholarship easily accessible to lay audiences.

Mike's topics for Ancient of Days 2004
"A Challenge to the works of Zechariah Sitchin"
"Genesis 6 Hybrids & Nephilim"
"Ezekiel's Wheel & Chapter 1 Vision"
^{"The Anunnaki, Watchers, and Serpentine Beings in the Ancient Texts"}
"Christian Theology, an ET Reality, and Intelligent Design."

The Facade
represents a convergence of Mike's academic specialties and his life-long interest in the paranormal.  In particular, he is uniquely qualified to investigate the interface of the alien phenomenon with ancient texts from the civilizations of great antiquity. He has discussed these and similar topics many times on Coast-to-Coast with both Art Bell and George Noory, and made several other media appearances.
