Council

Psalm 82, Deuteronomy 32, 1 Kings 22, Job 1 — the scenes where Scripture shows God enthroned over a heavenly assembly, and the Dead Sea Scroll variant that binds them together.

The prop under the text — and under the ones who fall.

The shepherd of Tekoa's rhetorical trap on Israel's golden prosperity — eight oracles that close on the audience cheering them, five visions of vanishing intercession, and the fallen tabernacle of David the Jerusalem Council would build again.

No council invented the list — the story is churches across the Roman world converging over three centuries on books they were already reading, and the paperwork survives so you can watch it happen.
