Preface:

This lecture is titled “The Bible, Physics, and the Abilities of Fallen Angels”. Before we get started, I want to point out that this lecture is on what I call “fallen angels” and not on what I would call “demons”.
I make a distinction between the two, as I think there is a hierarchy of evil spirits, and some are more powerful than others.

We see this in scripture:

Eph 6:12
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].”

Rom 8:38-39
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


Evil spirit beings are regularly divided up into types in the Bible.
Some types of evil spirits are more powerful than others. I am defining “demons” as the less powerful evil spirits that require gaining influence or control over a person or animal in order to have any physical presence. The evil spirits that Jesus and the disciples cast out of people in New Testament are the only spirits referred to as “demons” biblically.
 

What about the demonic hierarchy of evil spirits?

I do think that demons can affect dreams, and it is this kind of dream which can sometimes cause one to believe they have experienced an “alien abduction” although there is no physical evidence left from the experience, as is the case in other “alien abduction” accounts. These I would attribute as being caused by evil spirits of the demon level, or sometimes fallen angels as well.

Demons also cause waking oppression. Some contactees and abductees while awake practice channeling of what they call “aliens”. This could also be attributed to demons. Finally, demons, once they have a physical influence or control over a person’s body, can cause seizures, illnesses, ailments, and madness, as seen in the Bible. Some things related to the “alien abduction” phenomenon may be attributable to demons in this way.

However, besides these few things, there are many other parts of the “alien abduction” experience that simply do not match the physicality level or powers of demons. They would require a higher physicality and power, as fallen angels have.

Dan 10:13
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

And I am defining “fallen angels” as being the more powerful evil spirits that can have a physical presence that is not dependant on inhabiting a person or animal’s body. These are more comparable in abilities to Holy angels, or to Satan, having comparable abilities, and of the same or a similar class as him.

Fallen angels are of the class referred to in Daniel as the “prince of the kingdom of Persia”. We read that Gabriel could not overcome the “Prince of Persia” by himself, but needed Michael’s assistance. So, in Daniel it is made clear that some spirits are more powerful than others.

The distinction having been made, this lecture is mainly on fallen angels and not on demons.

 


Chapter 1
The Bible - Mental Attacks

 

We are going to take a look at the abilities demonstrated by angels in the Bible.

It would make sense that the abilities of fallen angels would be the same as the abilities of Holy angels. As such I’m going to be using examples found in the Bible of both Holy angels and fallen angels, to establish what the Bible says are the abilities of angels in general.

Angelic Apparitions

The first category of angelic encounters is “Mental Envelopments” or “Mental Attacks”. This angelic ability is demonstrated in the following passage:

Dan 10: 1-12
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision. In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled. And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;

Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.

Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground. And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling. Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.

 

What can we observe from this passage?

Daniel calls what he experienced a “great vision” (Daniel 10:8) caused by an angel. While having this “vision”:

  1. It was real to the bodily senses: Daniel was in his body, he saw with his eyes, he heard with his ears, he felt a hand touch his body, felt being on his hands and knees and later standing up,
    he felt bodily trembling,
  2. The vision Daniel saw was overlaid on top of the reality everyone else could see, but others could not see it. (Daniel 10:7)
  3. What Daniel saw was unusual, and even impossible-seeming, such as a face with the “appearance of lightning”. Also the voice of the singular being he was seeing sounded like a multitude of voices.
  4. Daniel was awake, and not dreaming, nor in a trance.

 

So Daniel’s body is still surrounded by objective reality, the river, the landscape, the men fleeing from something they can’t see, but feel emotionally. However Daniel’s mind is also seeing a vision from an angel overlaid onto this objective reality, and this vision that he is interactive with feels completely real to his bodily senses.

 

Another example is in Acts 10:9-17

On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate.

 Observations:

  1. Peter had this “vision” in a “trance”, while awake, and not asleep. The “trance” is not described as “dreaming”. It seems likely that those preparing for lunch with Peter saw Peter in this trance state. However, this trance state is not described as “dreaming”. Peter was awake, and not asleep.
  2. Peter observed being in his body - this is implied by his optionally being able to “rise, kill, and eat”. Peter also is seeing with his eyes, and hearing with his ears.
  3. Peter, like Daniel, sees unusual or impossible-seeming things.

  

What Peter experienced during this trance the Bible calls a ‘vision’ (“horama” Strong’s 3705). Earlier in Acts 10:3, Cornelius also receives a “horama” vision, specified to be caused by an angel. Later, in Acts 12, Peter is unsure whether or not he is having another vision, when an angel is present:

“Peter followed him (an angel) out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision” Acts 10:9 NIV

So there is really no doubt that ‘visions’, which communicate a message, are Biblically associated as being caused by angels - Holy angels who are God’s messengers. (The Greek word angelos means “messenger”.)

The word above in Acts 10 for ‘trance’ is “ekstasis” (1611 in the Strong’s). The second definition is “a throwing of the mind out of its normal state, alienation of mind, whether such as makes a lunatic or that of a man who by some sudden emotion is transported as it were out of himself, so that in this rapt condition, although he is awake, his mind is drawn off from all surrounding objects and wholly fixed on things divine that he sees nothing but the forms and images lying within, and thinks that he perceives with his bodily eyes and ears realities shown him by God.”

So, even the Strong’s Concordance defines this trance as an experience in the mind, which is perceived with “bodily eyes and ears”, or in other words is real to the bodily senses. In Peter’s case, he describes perceiving hearing with his ears, seeing with his eyes, and speaking with his mouth. This indicates he perceives himself as being in his body, experiencing something which seems real to all the bodily senses. However, it is implied that those around Peter perceive him as being in a trance state.

Another kind of partial vision, as Daniel had, arguably and likely facilitated by a Holy angel messenger (Se Rev 1, 1:1) happened to Paul and the men with him in Acts 9 (related again in Acts 22).

Acts 9:3-8
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

Acts 22:6-11
And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me. And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they understood not the voice of him that spake to me. And I said, What shall I do, LORD? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do. And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.  

Observations:

  1. Paul and the men saw the light, though no one saw to whom
    the voice which was speaking belonged.
  2. Paul saw the glory of the light, and it was so intense he was blinded by it, but the men with him did not even see it.
  3. Paul heard and understood the voice that was speaking
  4. The men heard the voice that was speaking, but did not understand it.

In this case the vision was waking, and very partial
(in that sight and vision were affected but not other senses). What is most interesting is that the vision was experienced in one way by Paul, and in another, more limited way, by the men with him. This implies that group waking mental attack visions are possible, in which one person sees A but another person sees B.

Another kind of mental vision caused by angels is simply seeing the angel in a dream, such as in the case of Joseph the husband of Mary, surrogate father of Jesus Christ: 

Matt 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Matt 2:13
And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

This summarizes as:

            First Category of Angelic Encounters: Mental Envelopments           

                        1. Visions – are completely real to the bodily senses

                                    a. Fully, or partially, overlaying objective reality

                                    b. fully awake, or a waking trance state

                                    c. experienced by one person or multiple people

2. Dreams – are not real to the bodily senses,
and happen while asleep

 

I categorize these kinds of angelic encounters as “mental attacks” (for fallen angels) or “mental envelopments” (for Holy angels), and also simply call them “visions”. They are real to the bodily senses, but other people cannot see them.

Mental Envelopments can be full visions (as in Peter’s case) in which a trance is involved. Objective (or “normal”) reality is no longer seen, but rather only the landscape of the vision, which is real to the bodily senses.

Mental Envelopments can be partial visions (as in Daniel’s case), in which the vision is overlaid onto objective reality, and both are perceived with the bodily senses at the same time.

Mental Envelopments can happen to one person alone, or to several people at the same time (as with Paul on the Damascus Road).

Mental Envelopments can also occur while in a dream, which is not real to the bodily senses, and happens while asleep in a dream. This is not the same as a waking vision, whether full or partial, whether in a trance state or not, and dreams are not real to the bodily senses in the same way as a waking or trance vision.

Those familiar with the “alien abduction” literature or experience should already be noting how strikingly similar the abilities and experiences involving alleged aliens are to the abilities of biblical angels. This theme will be more fully explored in the following chapters. Note that while the Bible records mostly the activities of Holy angels, I am assuming that rebel angels demonstrate the same abilities – and from the biblical examples reason that the experiences commonly attributed to “aliens” are in actuality, the activity of rebel angels.

When it comes to the perception of time, in these cases the subjective perception of the passing of time of Daniel and Peter seemed to match the objective amount of time that had passed for other people around them. However, this is arguably not always the case with angelic encounters. (More on that later.)


 

Chapter 2
The Bible - Physical Attacks

 

The second category of angelic encounters is Physical Attacks or Experiences.

Acts 12:5-12, 18-19
Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision. When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him. And when Peter was come to himself, he said,
Now I know of a surety, that the LORD hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying. …. Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter. And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.

In this case an angel is sent to free Peter from Herod’s prison. At first Peter thinks he is experiencing a vision, but soon realizes the events have truly taken place. Peter had visions before, and his confusion proves the point that visions are real to the bodily senses - as real as objective reality - which is why Peter was not sure if what was happening was a vision or not. But the events did take place in objective reality

The angel materialized in a physical way and caused lasting physical changes in objective reality. Other people, such as the guards, Herod, and Peter’s friends were all affected by these lasting physical changes to objective reality.

Not only that, but the angel was able to defy physics in objective reality, or seem to have supernatural powers, by doing things such as causing a light to shine, chains to fall off, likely opening what was a locked gate, and moving a very heavy door with apparently supernatural strength, as well as appearing and disappearing seemingly out of nowhere.

Another case is seen in Gen 19:

Gen 19:1-7, 10-13, 24-28

And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways.
And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat. But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly….But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door. And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place: For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it…Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD: And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo,
the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

Some observations:
All of the men of the city could see the angels,
not just Lot. The angels caused all the men who were harassing Lot to become blind. The angels likely turned Lot’s wife into a pillar of salt. The angels also destroyed the city of Sodom and Gomorrah, and Abraham was able to observe the smoke from the city’s destruction from far away. Today some people (see arkdiscovery.com) say they have found the destroyed city, and no doubt some evidence of this angelic event remains to this day, somewhere.

In the case of Sodom and Gomorrah the angels were seen by men and interacted with them. However, angels can also interact with objective reality without being seen, as in the case of Job. 

Job 1:12-19
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them: And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

In this case God effectively removed a “hedge of protection” around Job and allowed everything but Job’s life to be put “into Satan’s hands”
(Job 1:12). Satan then inspired people to kill Job’s servants, caused a fire from heaven to come down and kill his sheep and servants, and caused a great wind to demolish a house on top of Job’s children, killing them all. Though Satan was effectively invisible in all of these events, nevertheless the events Satan caused occurred in objective reality with multiple witnesses as to what had occurred.

Another subset of Physical Attacks, of physical illness or injury, is seen in Acts and in Job:

Acts 12:21-23
And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and died.

In this case in Acts the angel was invisible, at least his public appearance to the crowd is not recorded, and the angel caused a physical ailment resulting in death to the body of a person.

Job 2:6-7
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life. So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

In this case in Job, the angel, Satan, was invisible, but in objective reality caused real and visible injury/disease to the body of a person.

Observations on Physical Attacks

1.      Multiple witnesses of angels

2.      Multiple witnesses to lasting physical effects, including illnesses, and sometimes even death

3.      Supernatural occurrences, that seem to defy physics, in objective reality

4.      Objective reality generally follows normal physical laws, except for actions of angels

 

This summarizes as:

Physical Attacks

1. Lasting physical effects in objective reality with multiple witnesses caused by both
            a. Visible angels, and
            b. Invisible angels

 


Chapter 3
The Bible - Combination Attacks

 

The third category of angelic encounters is “Combination Experiences”.

Let’s look at some scriptural examples for the third category of angelic encounters. The first two scriptural examples say “he carried me away in the spirit”.

Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and
I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns
.

Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

The “he” that is referenced here is an angel of the Lord, a messenger of Jesus Christ.

This is established in Rev 22:8-9
And I John saw these things, and heard [them]. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See [thou do it] not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

So we know “he” is an angel of the Lord.

From these passages, we see that angels can “carry someone away in the spirit”. These two passages say so specifically, however other passages in scripture are a little more unclear in terminology as to whether the “Spirit of the Lord” or an “angel of the Lord” is involved. But as we know an angel was doing the “carrying away in the spirit” in the above verses in Revelation, we can reasonably conclude that this angel was also doing the things mentioned in other passages in Revelation. Such as:

Rev 1:10-19
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send [it] unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and [his] hairs [were] white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes [were] as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance [was] as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter…

Altogether, the entire imagery John recorded in the book of Revelation was caused by an angel of the Lord showing him these things (though I’m not going to quote the entire book of Revelation here). What John experienced was real to all the bodily senses, even including taste, and he was in his body.

Rev 4:2-3
After this I looked, and, behold, a door [was] opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard [was] as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and [one] sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and [there was] a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

Rev 10:10
And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

Rev 10:4
And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

Notable is that in Revelation John ate a scroll which was part of the vision, tasted it, and it was “bitter to his stomach”. Also, John was writing down what he saw and heard throughout his experience on a paper, and this paper remained with him after the experience had ended.

John did not write down the experience after it had ended, but while it was ongoing. Whether John was given the paper to write on and the writing instrument during the vision, or if John carried these things into the experience and out of the experience later, is unknown. But in either case a different level of physicality is shown here than in mental envelopments, or physical attacks.

Unlike the other two categories, John did not record that he had a “vision”, nor was “in a trance”, the terms used to refer to “mental envelopments”, nor was it an “Physical Attack”. Instead, the key phrases used are “carried away” and “in the spirit”.

Another angelic encounter in a passage with similar terminology is:

Luke 4:5
“And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.”

The Greek word here for ‘moment’ is “stigme” (4743) which literally means a “point” of time. This word is used only once in the New Testament, but is used in the Greek Old Testament, the Septuagint, in
Isaiah 29:5. The word that is translated as “stigme” is “petha`” (6621) in Hebrew. According to Thayer’s Lexicon, “petha” means “the opening of the eyes”, hence the meaning “a moment of time”.

The amount of time referenced to here, is the amount of time it takes to open your eyes. This is no more than the time it would take to blink.

It takes humans 300 to 400 milliseconds, that is 3/10ths to 4/10ths of a second, to blink.

How could Jesus see “all the kingdoms of the world” in the time it takes to blink? It would seem that to be shown all the kingdoms of the world should take at least a couple hours, if not days, if a thorough tour was done. But even snapshot pictures in quick succession would take several minutes, and this without any time to comprehend or think about what one was seeing, the necessary amount of time is still incredibly more than 400 milliseconds.

Obviously another attribute of this kind of angelic encounter is time perception manipulation of the person having the experience. This passage implies that one second passed in time, but Jesus experienced subjectively a much longer period of time during that one second.

Some observations about these passages:

  1. Like other kinds of angelic encounters, the experience is physically real to all the bodily senses, and the person is in their body.
  2. The person is carried or taken “in the spirit”, implying they have been “carried” or “taken” in some fashion of a spiritual nature.
  3. The person is in a place of fantastically unrealistic scenery and/or a place in which out of the ordinary or impossible-seeming things occur.
  4. In John’s case, he is writing on a real scroll during the entire experience, and the real scroll remains with him afterwards. So objects taken into the experience can be altered and retained afterwards. This also implies that objects obtained by a person during the experience could remain afterwards, and/or that objects brought into the experience could be lost.
  5. In John’s case he eats a scroll that is part of the encounter, and his stomach is upset by it, as such the experience can physically go inside the human body and have internal effects.
  6. Time perception manipulation of the person having the experience.

 

I categorize these types of angelic encounters as “Combination”. There are two reasons for doing so.

The first is the different terminology the Bible uses: “carried away” or “taken up in the spirit”.

The second is there seems to be more physicality in these cases than in “Mental envelopment visions” and less physicality than in “Physical Attacks”.

So, interpreting from the Bible, the three categories of fallen angel attacks are: Mental Attacks in visions or dreams, Physical Attacks, and Combination Attacks

 

Mental Attacks
            1. Visions – real to the bodily senses
                                    a. Fully, or partially, overlaying objective reality
                                    b. fully awake, or a waking trance state
                                    c. one person or multiple people
            2. Dreams – not real to bodily senses, and happen while asleep

Physical Attacks
Lasting physical effects in objective reality with multiple witnesses
            1. Visible angels
            2. Invisible angels

Combination Attacks
            1. Normal or Manipulated perception of time
            2. Objects carried in/taken with, or not

 

I have tried to organize Fallen Angelic Apparitions into categories that are as well defined as possible, so as to be easier to understand. However, there are limitations on the accuracy of these categories.

The main problem is that angels have such expansive powers that it is possible to combine these categories, or have overlap between them.
For instance, it may be possible to have multiple people experience a Combination attack at the same time. Also, if a person is alone, it is very difficult to discern a Combination attack from a Mental Attack. Additionally, it would make sense that a manipulated perception of time could occur in a Mental Attack, as well as a Combination experience.
It can be confusing to categorize exactly what happened, especially between the Mental Attack and Combination Attack categories.

I believe the Bible speaks on this difficulty, with firm guidance on how we should view this difficulty in 2 Corinthians 12:2-4:
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

Here Paul expresses he doesn’t know whether the man was “caught up” inside his body (a Mental Envelopment) or outside of his body (a Combination experience (or possibly real travel). However, God knows, and we really don’t need to know which it was, it’s not that important. The Bible essentially tells us that it may be impossible for us to figure out, so there’s no need to dwell on it.

So, ultimately the abilities and attacks of fallen angels that people experience are like the parable of the blind men and the elephant.

The first held its trunk, and said, “It’s like a snake.” The second leaned against its belly and said “it’s like a wall” and the third held its tail and said, “it’s like a rope”. In truth, the elephant was like all of those things, and a lot more.

In truth, fallen angels have expansive powers, and that is the bottom line. One person would say it’s like a vision, another would say it’s a holodeck-like experience, and in another case we would say it was completely real… but they are all real experiences, and like the elephant, fallen angels have expansive powers which we cannot understand, which are not limited by our individual perceptions of them.

 


Chapter 4
 Modern Alien Abduction Experiences - Mental Attacks

Next I am going to compare modern alien abduction accounts to the Biblically based categories of Fallen angelic apparitions. Please keep in mind the overlap between the categories as I pointed out with the Blind Men and the Elephant analogy.

What is experienced in “alien abduction” accounts?

Abductees report in their experiences that in some cases the experience feels completely real to the bodily senses, sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell, and time perception. Abductees can be adamant that some of these experiences were NOT dreams, but occurred in a waking state.

Here are some common events in abductee accounts:

Seeing aliens of a wide variety of types

Walking through walls (themselves or seeing aliens do so)    

Defying gravity (flying or floating themselves, or seeing aliens/spacecraft do so)

Travel to outer-space, other planets, other galaxies, with no suit or spacecraft

Travel to outerspace in spacecraft

Impossible scenarios, like breathing underwater or in viscous liquid, without drowning

Not breathing for a half hour or more in air, without suffocating or dying

Electromagnetic disturbances, electronic malfunctions

Alice in wonderland sorts of landscapes         

Aliens’ bodies shape-shifting into new forms 

Injuries that only last until the end of the experience

Injuries that remain after the experience, sometimes mostly healed and leaving scars

Strange or rare illnesses

Medical-like examinations and procedures including needles and drills

Time perception disturbances and manipulation, time loss, time gain

Sexual molestation, assault and rape

Miscarriages and false pregnancies with supernatural aspects

Physical pain and torture

Partial or complete paralysis during experience

 

As you can see, these experiences are often highly confusing, painful, and violating.

The first category we are going to cover is the Mental Attack category.


The case of "Robert" summarized from CE4 Research Group’s case files:

On a Monday, Joe and Robert had a conversation. Robert said he had been having abduction experiences with colorful light beings for a year. Each being was a different color, and looked much like the light-people in the movie Cocoon. He described that it felt real to his bodily senses, and he seemed in his body, however he did not need to breathe during his experiences.
Later that week, on Thursday, Robert was in a car with his girlfriend. Robert slumped over like he passed out unconscious while in the car, and his girlfriend was with him. Robert experienced a long period of conscious time during what he later recounted as being like a vision with the beings. He felt he seemed to have gone somewhere else. However, to Robert’s girlfriend, he was in a trance state that only lasted a minute or so. But he experienced several hours’ worth of experiences, during the minute he was passed out. As his girlfriend was there with him, she saw he did not go anywhere, his body did not leave. Just in that week, since first talking to Joe, the experiences had turned very bad, and the light-beings were being very nasty to him, and Robert wanted the experiences to stop. Robert could somehow feel that an experience was about to happen, before it happened, precipitating the entities attacks on him. Telling his girlfriend beforehand, Robert had a second experience the same evening.

Robert said he had been having abduction experiences with colorful light beings much like the light-people in the movie Cocoon. He described that it felt real to his bodily senses, and that he seemed to be in his body; however he did not need to breathe during his experiences.  

Robert had 2 experiences while seeming to pass out in a trance, which seemed to last hours for him, but his girlfriend said he was only in this state for a few minutes. 

(Robert Continued)
Afterwards, Robert called Joe, telling him what had been happening to him that day. While on the phone, Robert could feel another attack coming on. This was the third experience that day, and he was again in a trance state, for a couple of minutes. His girlfriend, present, saw this, and talked to Joe on the phone while this was ongoing. When Robert’s experience ended, he got back on the phone and related to Joe that the beings who were attacking Robert told Robert that they “hated Joe” because he understood what was happening to Robert.

The next morning Joe and a Christian co-worker went to Robert’s house and met with him and his girlfriend. While there, Robert felt another attack coming on, but before he was forced into a trance again, they rebuked the entities in the name and authority of Jesus Christ, and Robert said he could feel the entities disappear, stopping the attack.

As I mentioned earlier, time manipulation seems to occur in the Bible during what I categorize as Combination experiences, but there is much overlap in the categories of angelic apparitions. Recall the blind men and the elephant. In this case, the experience was obviously a Mental Attack, and not a Combination Attack, because although Robert experienced time manipulation and the experiences were real to his bodily senses, at the same time during his experiences he did not breathe for impossibly long periods of time (that is, his subjective time).

So although the Biblical precedent set for time manipulation is categorized in Combination attacks, from modern-day experiences of fallen angelic attacks, it is clear that time perception manipulation also occurs during Mental Attack visions. That includes all types of Mental Attacks, waking, full or partial overlaying of objective reality, and whether they happen to one person or multiple people.

The case of Robert was of a Mental Attack which was real to the bodily senses, fully overlaid objective reality, happened in a waking trance state, to one person. There was a witness with the person that saw the person go into a trance state. This case also involved time perception manipulation.

This next case from an “alien abductee” is from “Taken: Inside the Alien-Human Abduction Agenda” by the late Dr. Karla Turner PhD.
“Lisa had some conscious memories of encounters with the typical Grays, as well as missing-time episodes, multiple-witnessed UFO sightings, unexplained body marks, telepathic communications from unseen sources, and many dream-memories of ambiguous reality - except in those instances where other evidence pointed to an actual event. While the details of Lisa's life-long involvement are certainly very typical, the alien intrusions are clearly more intense and frequent than in many such cases…

In 1980, however, Lisa did see something very different from the shadows, in a terrifying event. "A being appeared to me," she recalled, "when I was a couple of weeks pregnant. We had just got into bed and Neal already seemed 'out of it,' and the being appeared on the end of the bed, squatting, telling me mentally the child I was carrying was special and it would be a boy. I almost had a fainting spell. I threw the covers over my head as the being was leaping toward me, I believe, and said, 'In Jesus' name, take it away!' It disappeared, and I fell quickly asleep. It was about three feet tall, dark-skinned, leathery looking. I don't remember anything else."
-Karla Turner PhD, Taken: Inside the Alien-Human Abduction Agenda, Pg. 36-37

I would categorize this case as a Mental Attack, partially overlaying objective reality, in a waking state, and happening to one person. Rebuked in Jesus’ name the Mental Attack vision ended, and the being disappeared.

Transcribed from the Cursed Net internet radio show, the next case describes multiple witnesses seeing a UFO over a populated area.

Byron: That beings me to the question of when did you first see a UFO? And how did it affect you?
Kathy: The first ufo I saw I was probably in my very early 20s, there were three other people with me and we all saw it, only one of them remembers seeing it, and none of us remember what we did the rest of the day…
Byron: How could you forget such a strange instance, and its also puzzling to me how you could not remember what you did for the rest of the day, after an event like that, could that indicate this expression called “missing time”, may have taken place right at that time?
Kathy: That’s what I’m taking for granted now… I mean we had a long drive home, a couple of hours from where we were at the time, and none of us remember, we don’t even remember that weekend, I mean the next few days we all went, “What did we do Saturday? I don’t remember.” You know, but it gets fuzzier and fuzzier as the years go on…
Byron: What did it look like?
Kathy: It was huge, we were on a street with houses on both sides that backed up to a beach, and we were walking to our vehicles, and it came over us, and the reason I think we looked up is because it got dark, it was like the sun went away, and you could see the bottom of a … the starship enterprise, it was like mechanical looking stuff on the bottom, but you couldn’t see the beginning or the end of it, you could see it went past the houses on that side of the street, it went past the houses on [the other] that side of the street, as far as you could see in both directions, up and down, its like we were seeing just a teeny piece of the bottom of a huge spaceship… And there was virtually no sound either, that’s something one of the other people who was with me said about it, because I remember us saying that “It’s not making any sound at all” while we were looking up.”

-Byron LeBeau, Richard Stout and Greg Messina, www.thecursednet.com, www.blogtalkradio.com/cursednet
with guest Kathy Land (1/5/09)

 

Happening in a populated area, in which a huge sun-blocking UFO would be arguably noticed by the residents, local police, and local news, this event seems more likely to be a Mental vision than a Physical Attack.  This waking vision seemed to only partially overlay objective reality, in that the UFO was seen but not heard to make any sound at all, while hovering over the neighborhood. But there were multiple witnesses which viewed the vision. Missing time was noted by all involved. Missing time is describable as a type of time perception manipulation.

Once an abductee, Kathy is now a former abductee whose experiences have been terminated from happening in her life, by the name and authority of Jesus Christ.

The Case of Maureen:
 
“Arriving at the nominated spot, all 3 people then sat in Maureen’s car. She saw the same “man” had appeared just outside the vehicle. Neither of the other 2, Judith Magee or Paul Norman, could see anything unusual present. Maureen says that the “man” was beckoning her to join him outside the vehicle. She refused to get out of the car.

Suddenly, according to the others present, Maureen “fainted”. She began a verbal description to them whilst she was in this apparent state of unconsciousness. She related she was in a round room somewhere, which was lit, but there was no visible source of illumination. This scene was indistinguishable from the consensus reality that we call “real life”.

The “man” just appeared in the room, in which there was also a mushroom shaped object rising up from the floor. This was stemmed, with a broad domed top. There appeared to be an inner hemisphere, wobbling around, and it was covered with what looked to be hieroglyphics on it. The “man” told her to describe what she could see, and this she did, to be heard by the 2 in the car. She could see no doors, or windows in this room, and so began to be scared. She started to cry, then woke, still in the car, with tears in her eyes, saying she could not remember anything that had just occurred. The 2 in the car filled her in on what had transpired.”
-Keith Basterfield, “Maureen Puddy: An Australian Abductee Physically Present During An Abduction”, 1992, As presented at the 1992 Abduction Study Conference at M.I.T

Two different types of Mental Attack visions are represented here. The first, like that of Kathy, was a partial overlaying onto objective reality in a waking state. However, unlike Kathy’s case in which all the people saw the UFO, in this case only Maureen saw the entity outside the car, while two people with her did not see it. I would like to point out the same pattern occurs with “ghost encounters” in which someone with supposedly “special sight or powers” can see the ghosts but others with them cannot. This pattern also fits some examples of experiences which are termed “schizophrenic hallucinations”.  

The second type of Mental Attack seen here is a full overlaying of objective reality, in a trance state. This is very similar to the case of Robert. The experiences were real to the bodily senses for Maureen, and she seemed to be somewhere else. A difference is that in this case the woman was speaking to people with her while in the trance state. In her case the passage of time seemed normal. Although she perceived herself in her body in another location in a way that felt real to all of her bodily senses, she never left the car and the two people with her, and even spoke out loud during this experience. 

 “The Mars Records” and “The Mars Records 2” detail probably the most extreme case of time perception manipulation I have read about in a Mental Attack, which lasted for a subjective period of 20 years. The entirety of the books by Stephanie Relfe, is about the experiences of her husband Michael, with many details.

To summarize, Michael was a childhood abductee, who in the 70s enlisted in the US military. In 1976 Michael had a very unusual experience. He remembered enlisting in a special military program.
He then experienced traveling through a “portal” to Mars.

He experienced what seemed to be 20 years of time, which he spent on Mars, and afterwards he perceived his body was made younger and he perceived he traveled back through the “portal” to 1976. Then he was back on Earth, and the time was about a week after he remembers leaving to Mars. During those perceived 20 years he remembers being stationed on the planet Mars on a US military base, working in a Top Secret military operation. He remembers having a wife on Mars, who died on Mars. There were many aliens throughout his experiences, Grays and Reptilians, as well as a Martian population of millions of human people.  

In several incidents in the books, the fallen angels include in the Mental Attack vision a piece of technology, a “portal”, which is portrayed as a time travel machine. As seen in other cases, time can seem to be gained subjectively during abductions, in time perception manipulation. However, as seen in the case of Robert mentioned earlier, while he experienced hours during a minute, his body did not actually go anywhere. This is known as a witness remained with his body for those objective minutes during his subjectively hours-long experiences.
As such, actual physical time travel did not take place in either of these cases, but rather the Mental Attack enabled subjective time perception manipulation.

I would describe this 20-year experience of Michael as a Mental Attack, of extreme duration. Other experiences in the book would fall into the Combination or Physical categories of fallen angelic apparitions.

It is important to note that sometimes fallen angels do cause abductees to see “humans” during the apparition; however these are not real humans, but instead are part of the vision caused by the fallen angel (exceptions being cases of a group of people attacked together by fallen angels).

In many cases in which fallen angels cause visions of humans, the humans are military personnel, and advanced technology appears to be present, these kinds of abductions are called “Mil-abs” for “military abductions”. Except in rare cases of actual government investigation of abductions and interviews with abductees, these Mi-labs are caused by fallen angels, and are just one variety of abduction experiences. The entire experience, like other Mental Attack visions, is a vision, including the military personnel and advanced technology the person sees.

Remember, these experiences are real to the bodily senses, and the perception of time passage seems normal to the abductee during the experience. Fallen angels sometimes do display technology in Mental Attack visions, technology which (deceptively) seems to work time travel, which adds a new layer of confusion for the abductee. Fallen angels have expansive supernatural abilities, which they were originally created with by God, and the technology seen is just part of the Mental Attack vision, which is a deception.

About 2 years after this 20-year Mental Attack vision of Mars, in the late 1970s, Michael became a Christian. In the book he gives God and the Lord Jesus Christ credit for his deliverance from the enemy.  

“This book is dedicated to God and the Lord Jesus Christ, for without them this book would never have been written… I want to thank the LORD JESUS CHRIST, my saviour for His mercy and blessings and for removing me from the hands of the enemy. It is only by His love and grace that I am on the road to recovery from the effects of mind control and manipulation… 

“I also know that the enemy cannot do anything to me unless God allows it and that God has given me weapons to fight back (see the section on deliverance). I will use those weapons without hesitation…

“I believe that only God has the answer for what is happening to the world at this times and that spiritual warfare is a vital part of His ministry for these end times. It is clear that spiritual warfare and deliverance is the only thing that has not been used against these projects and that God’s weapons are superior to the weapons of the enemy.”
-The Mars Records, www.metatech.org Dedication, Thank You pgs. 262

According to www.metatech.org Michael and Stephanie Relfe, both abductees, have been completely free from abductions for over 7 years now, they say this is from using spiritual warfare and deliverance methods, and through the name and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In reference to being set free from abductions, Michael writes in The Mars Records 2, pg. 205: “You can do the exact same things as I have if you have a personal relationship with The Lord Jesus Christ and if you have faith and follow the warfare prayers in this document. Prayer does not rely on metaphysical abilities or training. I myself do NOTHING. God performs the miracles.”

So far we have covered a variety of Mental Attack visions, but the next case of Howard, from CE4 Research Group, is one of Mental Attack dreams.

“…I was not a Christian at this time either. The next experiences I had with the Greys was several years after that when they decided to ‘contact’ me personally. I remember having a strange dream about them; it wasn’t anything bad but just strange, strange enough for me to remember it. I remember laughing about it to someone I knew. The very next night was absolutely terrifying and it left me in no doubt that I was under attack. In my dream I was running away from a UFO and it kept swooping down and buzzing me with its energy. Its energy was one of indescribable terror and malevolence.
Anyway the next day I was quite alarmed because I knew these weren’t just dreams and that I was dealing with something quite evil and dangerous. Things got worse and worse because they kept at me every night. It got to the point where I became too afraid to go to sleep because I knew they were waiting for me.  Have you ever seen the film nightmare on Elm Street? Well I was living that. I do remember in my dreams that I used violence on them, but this did not harm them not even in the slightest. To be honest with you, I think they quite enjoyed it; it was like a game for them.  I was getting extremely desperate; I couldn’t work or think because I was too afraid to sleep so I was tired all the time.”

-CE4 Research Group, the Testimony of Howard, www.alienresistance.org/ce4testimonies.htm

This case described UFOs and “gray aliens” appearing in nightmares, which were so terrible they were causing him to be afraid to go to sleep. He later describes turning to the Bible for answers, and soon being set free from having these dreams which were destroying his life. He credits Jesus Christ and God with having freed him from these dreams.

 


Chapter 5
 Modern Alien Abduction Experiences - Physical Attacks


Physical Attack:

I am only going to be including one case example of the Physical Attack type of fallen angelic apparition, known as the Malmstrom UFO Incident. I think many Physical Attacks do take place today. Many of these could arguably be found on TV shows such as “Ghost Hunters” and similar paranormal shows, which record “voices of ghosts”, and things like that. Also, there are supposedly many real photos or videos of orbs, ghosts, and even UFOs and aliens on the internet.

There are additionally many declassified military reports, documenting military encounters with UFOs. I hope these have a level of credibility that is acceptable. I only am personally aware of one such documented military reporting that fits the supernatural requirements to clearly show it was an Physical Attack of fallen angels. This is due to a supernaturally caused electronic malfunction that is otherwise unexplainable.

March 16, 1967
“Early in the morning on the sixteenth, at Malmstrom AFB in Montana, one of the most extraordinary events in the history of military-UFO encounters took place. Under a clear and dark Montana sky, an airman with the Oscar Flight Launch Control Center (LCC) saw a starlike object zigzagging high above him. Soon, a larger and closer light also appeared and acted in similar fashion. He called his NCO, and the two men watched in awe as the lights streaked through the sky, maneuvering in impossible ways. The NCO phoned his commander, Robert Salas, who was below ground in the launch control center. Salas was dubious. “Great,” he said. “You just keep watching them and let me know if they get any closer.”
A few minutes later, the NCO called Salas again. As Salas later wrote, this time he was clearly frightened and shouted that a red, glowing UFO was hovering outside the front gate. “What do you want us to do?” asked the NCO. Salas told him to make sure the site was secure while he phoned the command post. “Sir,” replied the NCO, “I have to go now, one of the guys just got injured.” Before Salas could ask about the injury, the NCO was off the line. The man, who was not seriously injured, was evacuated by helicopter to the base. Meanwhile, Salas woke his commander, Lt. Fred Meiwald. As he briefed Meiwald, an alarm rang through the small capsule, and both men saw a “No-Go” light turn on for one of the missiles. Within seconds, several more missiles went down in succession.
Twenty miles away, at the Echo-Flight launch facilities, the same scenario was taking place. First Lt. Walter Figel, the deputy crew commander of the Missile Combat Crew, was at his station when one of the Minuteman missiles went into “No-Go” status. He immediately called the missile site to determine the cause of the problem. Was it because of the scheduled missile maintenance, he asked the security guard? No, came the response, as the maintenance had not yet taken place. However, continued the guard, a UFO had been hovering over the site. Like Salas, Figel doubted the story. Before he had any time to reflect on this, however, ten more ICBMs in rapid succession reported a “No-Go” condition. Within seconds, the entire flight was down.
Strike teams were dispatched to two of the E-flight launch facilities, where maintenance crews were already at work. Figel had not told the strike teams about the UFO report. Upon their arrival, however, the teams reported back to him that all of the maintenance and security personnel had been watching UFOs hover over each of the sites.
The missiles were down for the greater part of a day. The air force investigation included full-scale tests on-site, as well as laboratory tests at the Boeing Company’s Seattle plant. No cause for the shutdown could be found. The Boeing engineering chief said, “there was no technical explanation that could explain the event.”

-Richard M. Dolan, UFOs and the National Security State, Pgs. 322-323

In the Malmstrom UFO incident, UFOs are associated with the supernatural electronic malfunction of at least 15 nuclear ICBMs. Scientists and engineers examined what had happened, and concluded “there was no technical explanation that could explain the event”. As such I would say these UFOs were caused by a fallen angel objectively materializing, in the form of a UFO, and causing supernatural electronic malfunctions to several nuclear missiles in the immediate vicinity.

[Addendum: During the Christian Symposium on Aliens held in Roswell New Mexico, the 11 Christian UFO experts and theologians were asked if they believed that fallen angels have the ability to cause electronic malfunctions such as the Malmstrom Incident. All voted “Yes”. See
www.christiansymposium.com/ChristianSymposiumAlienResults.htm]

 



Chapter 6
 Modern Alien Abduction Experiences - Combination Attacks
 

The next category of Fallen Angelic Apparitions is the Combination Attack. Recall that there seems to be more physicality in these cases than in Mental Attacks and less physicality than in Physical Attacks.

 The Valdes Case
 
“On April 25, 1977, Valdés, along with five members of an army patrol, saw two bright objects descending from the sky. Valdés set out alone to investigate and, according to the men, simply vanished. Fifteen minutes later, they said, he reappeared, tried to speak and passed out. The date on his watch had been advanced five days, and he had about a week's growth of beard.”
-Cate Setterfield, Armed Forces Reveal UFO Presence in Chile,
The Valparaiso Times 2/11/07 

“The corporal moved toward the object. He disappeared for some 15 minutes. When he reappeared, he was shaking and his voice seemed different. The light had been illuminating the whole area…He then became unconscious and was attended by his fellow men till he awoke some two hours later. The UFO also disappeared about this time. While the unconscious Corporal Valdes was assisted by his patrol, his men made another strange observation. They saw that Valdes had a beard growth equivalent to several days without shaving. He had been well shaven before the incident. As Valdes awoke he exclaimed, "I don't remember anything from the moment I left you." He then ordered,
"Get ready to leave because it's 4:30 in the morning. It was actually about 7 AM. His calendar watch had stopped at 4:30 but the date was five days advanced - to the 30th instead of the 25th.”

-Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO), 1977

Much like the Biblical account of Jesus tempted by Satan seen in Luke 4, in which Jesus experienced a far longer period of time in less than a second, the Valdes case shows time perception manipulation. In principle, this is the same thing.

In the Valdes case, the time manipulation seems very physical instead of perceptual, because his watch was moved ahead by 5 days, and he had 5 days growth of a beard, after only 15 minutes of time passing in objective reality. It also seems very physical because he disappeared for 15 minutes and his men could not see him. As such, this case is more physical than a Mental Attack, but less physical than a Physical Attack.

One way to look at this is that, like the boils of Job described in Biblical Physical Attacks, a fallen angel might have been able to supernaturally cause rapid hair growth, and also alter Valdes’ watch. The men might have been blocked with a group Mental Attack, from being able to see Valdes, even if he was nearby within normal sight distance.

Another possibility is that Valdes’ body did gain some passage of time, though there is nothing here to indicate the science fiction concept of “time travel”. Nothing in this case shows that Valdes traveled backwards in time, or that he necessarily traveled forward in time more than anyone else did (that being 15 minutes). Valdes’ experiences during the abduction are unknown, but even if he did subjectively experience 5 days worth of time in 15 minutes, as clearly seen in Mental Attack cases, this would be a Mental Attack of time perception manipulation.   

The next case of Anita is a good overview of physical injuries that many abductees have after this type of fallen angelic attack:
 “Anita has been consciously aware of UFO activity since childhood, and her brothers and sisters have also had recurrent UFO events throughout their lives. So, perhaps, may have some of Anita's children and grandchildren…
So are the various marks and injuries she has discovered on her body. "Lots of mornings," Anita said, "I have gotten up feeling like someone beat me up in my sleep." This is another common abductee report, waking up with sore, damaged-feeling muscles and joints. "I have waked up with bruises on my arms, shoulders, and legs," she continued, "with no idea where they came from. I have found scratches that I could not remember having gotten the day before."
The evidence for vigorous physical activity during the night, although unremembered, comes from more than just Anita's sore or scarred body, however. In one incident, she woke up in the morning and felt an unfamiliar pain in her right hand. "I sat up in bed," she explained, "and found that sometime during the night my ring had been squashed on my finger." She managed with effort to remove the ring, but neither her husband nor a jeweler could completely restore its original shape.
On another occasion, Anita got out of bed one morning and found the crucifix from her necklace lying on the floor. "It had been on my neck the night before," she said, "and the chain was still on [me]. But the only way to remove the crucifix is to remove the necklace and take it off the chain."
She has also awakened several mornings to discover that something had happened to her clothing, a report frequently echoed by other abductees. In one instance, she woke up with her nightie on backward, although she was certain she had not taken it off, turned it around, and put it back on. And on a different occasion she found that the nightie was not only backward but had also been turned inside-out. In the night during one of these events, she had an altered-state experience in which she recalled a group of Tan aliens observing her as she was "free-falling," an event which did not feel unduly upsetting for some reason…. Anita had quite a severe reaction to another similar event, however, venting much more emotion than the situation seemed to call for. It was in the winter, during the Christmas holidays one night, and she had worn socks to bed for extra warmth. When she woke up the next day and found that one of her socks was missing,…Anita was also physically upset that morning, suffering from a violent headache and nausea which caused her to vomit, yet there was no illness to account for the symptoms. Still, she might not have been overly concerned about the vanished sock and her physical problems, if her young granddaughter hadn't made a disturbing comment…The seven-year-old child told her grandmother that some "mean men" had come in and taken her away during the night. When Anita asked her to describe the "mean men," the little girl called them "the mushroom men."
"What are the mushroom men?" Anita asked, and her granddaughter then found the book MISSING TIME by Budd Hopkins and pointed to the drawing on the cover.
…The girl said the creatures were about a foot tall, gray-skinned and had four fingers rather than five-a detail not apparent in the cover picture. There were quite a few of these entities present, she said. Anita remembered nothing strange that night herself, but the physical symptoms, the missing sock, and her granddaughter's story were indicative enough of an intrusive incident to be of great concern.”

-Karla Turner PhD, Taken: Inside the Alien-Human Abduction Agenda, Pgs. 46, 50-51

Like a Physical Attack, there were physical aftereffects that remained and were seen by others, such as her bent ring.

The case of Anita is a good overview of physical injuries that many abductees have after this type of fallen angelic attack. In this case there was another person involved, her 7 year old granddaughter that saw part of the experience, like in Mental Attacks this was a case of a vision seen by multiple people. It is important to note that innocent children can be attacked by fallen angels as this is a type of generational curse.


Another case from Karla Turner’s book Taken is of a child:

"When I was seven or eight years old," Beth related, "my father gave us permission, my sister and me, to go outside and play with the other children, who were playing hide-and-seek. It was close to six in the evening. I remember that I went to hide between some bushes, and then I heard a sound, somebody else. And as I turned, I saw what I thought at that moment was one of the other kids.
"The next thing I know," she continued, "it was dark, and I was very surprised. When I got home, my father was very mad at me and my mother was very upset. My father told me that they had been calling me and looking for me for hours. But I couldn't understand it," she said. "The place where I was hiding was less than a hundred feet from the front of the house. I was hiding there, and it was daylight, and then the next thing I know it was dark-and I was scared.
"Recently I had another memory about that," she added. "That kid I thought was there, he was an alien, one of the Grays. He took me to a ship, but I don't remember what happened after that."

-Karla Turner PhD, Taken: Inside the Alien-Human Abduction Agenda, Pg. 56

 

I think the most efficient way to explain this case is that first the child Beth had a partial Mental Attack overlay vision of an “alien” approaching her. Then she was effectively hidden from her parents by fallen angels; likely by a partial Mental Attack overlay vision on her parents that kept them from seeing their daughter. While this was going on, the child Beth experienced a full overlay Mental Attack vision of being with Grays on a ship. In many ways, a combination of various forms of Mental Attacks would suffice to explain this experience, but because of the seeming physicality of Beth’s disappearance, in that it was noticed by others, there is a seemingly more physical aspect to this fallen angel attack, like a Physical Attack. Yet it cannot be categorized as a Physical Attack because her “abduction” experience was still highly subjective and not seen by others. So this case is a Combination experience, being more physical than a Mental Attack, and less physical than a Physical Attack.

This case is somewhat reminiscent of the abduction case of Travis Walton, who was missing for 5 days, and remembered only 2 hours. I do feel that the explanation for the case of Beth is also an adequate explanation for the Walton case. The main difference is that he was made unconscious for the majority of the 5 days.

  


 

Chapter 7
 Modern Physics - Miracles, Signs, and Wonders
 

Next we are going to move onto the Physics portion of this lecture.
The goal of this portion is to conceptualize the abilities of fallen angels, using modern physics terminology and theories, to understand how (from a modern physics perspective) they might do such things. The main point of doing this is to show that science does not preclude the existence of fallen angels, nor rule out their Biblically described abilities.
I believe modern science actually completely allows for fallen angels and their Biblically described abilities.

All of the categories of angelic apparitions would be called supernatural events.

There are some words in the Bible to describe the “supernatural” activities of God, Holy angels, and fallen angels.

Greek - signs “semeion” (4592), wonders “teras” (5059), and miracles “dynamis” (1411).

These same 3 words are all used in the context of:

God - the power of God in signs, wonders, and miracles that God,

Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit through the gift of miracles, as seen throughout the Bible

Angels -
Holy angels. (Acts 2:22, 5:12, 2 Peter 2:11, Heb 2:4)
Fallen angels, of the dragon and beast, and the “3 evil spirits like frogs”. (Matt 24:24, 2 Thess 2:9, Rev 13:2, 14, 16:14)

 

From the Bible it is clear that God in His three persons, Holy angels,
and also Fallen angels, are all capable of performing signs, wonders, and miracles.

How, in physics terminology, might God work signs, wonders, and miracles?

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Eph 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height

Rev 1:8
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

We live in an observably 4 dimensional universe. The universe is made of space(3) + and time(1) dimensions, which equal the Spacetime we can see. God made all the 3 dimensions of space that we see (length, width, and height), when God “created the heaven and the earth”. God made the dimension of time “in the beginning”, which marked the creation of time itself, the dimension of time as we know it. God is eternal, and having made time itself, God is outside of time, and was here before time was created. God has complete authority and control over the dimension of time. God also made the three dimensions of space, and is also outside of them. So, God made it all, and is outside of the entire universe, having created it.

Are there more dimensions that God made, besides the 4 we can perceive? Maybe.

The term “heaven” is used in several different ways in the Bible, referring to the atmosphere, the sky, outer-space, the place where the angels dwell, and God’s throne where the angels can go. Although the angels can be in the presence of God, God created the angels, as God created mankind. We are 4 dimensional in our physicality, being made for 4 dimensions. Angels are spirits, and Jesus said after His Resurrection in Luke 24:39:

Luke 24:39
“Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see;
for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.”

 

This could be taken, that truly angels are not physical life of the 3 physical dimensions we live in, as we are. Rather, angels are spirits of the heavenly realm, and their “bodies” exist in another dimension, a spirit or a heavenly realm. It would make sense that their bodies are composed of the substance of this spirit or heaven dimension they live in, as human bodies are composed of the stuff of the 3 physical dimensions we live in.

1 Cor 15:40, 44
[There are] also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial [is] another… It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 

The word in 1 Cor 15, “celestial” (epouranios 2032) means “existing in heaven”. The Bible acknowledges that there are living beings in heaven, and there can be bodies made of spirit. As our human terrestrial bodies are composed of 4-dimensional physical matter, it would make sense that living spirit or heavenly bodies would be composed of the “matter” of the realm of heaven. Angels have such heavenly bodies, and were created with such. It would make sense that there is at least a 5th dimension, if not more, and that the angels’ bodies are composed of the analogy to our “4d matter” in that heavenly realm. The heavenly realm might be composed of several heavenly dimensions, in the scientific sense of the term, such as a heavenly realm width, length, and height. But even if the heavenly realm is just 1 heavenly dimension, in the scientific sense of the term, heaven would still be a 5th dimension, 1 more dimension that the 4 dimensional physical world which we routinely perceive. 

The additional dimension(s) that the angels have bodies in, bodies which are composed of that extra dimension (or dimensions), would be an extra dimension that is at least one more than the 4 dimensions that we perceive. Thus it would be fair to call angels “extra-dimensional”, meaning of more dimensions than us.

1 Kings 8:27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?

Deut 10:14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens [is] the LORD'S thy God, the earth [also], with all that therein [is].

“The heaven and the heaven of heavens” is an interesting phrase, which implies no less that 4 heavens.

The heaven (1)
+ and the heaven (1)
+ of heavens (1+1 = (2) minimum)
____________________________
= at least 4 heavens.  

The Bible may speak of extra dimensions, even multiple extra dimensions, in relation to the heavenly realm:

The phrase heaven and the heaven of the heavens may describe at least four heavens.

If the atmosphere was the first heaven, and outer-space was a second heaven, and God’s throne was the third heaven, then there is still room for one more heaven, which could be where the angels exist when they are not at God’s throne, and the angel’s bodies could be made of the “stuff” of this heavenly dimension.

It is also important to note from these scriptures, that God Himself cannot be contained within the heavens, and they are His, because God made them all. The heaven of God’s throne, where the angels can be in the presence of God, is also a dimension of heaven that God made. An additional heaven where angels exist when they are not at God’s throne is also a heaven that God made. God himself cannot be contained in any of heavens or the dimensions of heaven or earth that God made. God is therefore not simply extra-dimensional. The Bible seems to say that angels are “extra-dimensional”, but God cannot be “extra-dimensional”.

God is eternal, and therefore is what I call “outer-dimensional”. It’s not just that God is in another additional dimension, or dimensions, which would make God extra-dimensional, No, God is outside of dimensionality, being eternal and the Creator of everything that is, including all dimensions of heaven and earth, and everything living in them. So to coin a term, God is “outer-dimensional”. This is an important distinction between the God the Creator, and His creation.

So the Bible may be interpreted to indicate that angels are extra-dimensional and have extra-dimensional bodies. What would modern physics have to say about this?

 

Modern physics actually does include the topic of extra dimensions, and talk from scientists about extra dimensions has to do with something called “string theory” or “superstring theory”.

Some branches in modern physics are well established through experiments, such as gravity, relativity, quantum mechanics, much of particle physics, electromagnetism, and the weak and strong nuclear forces. String theory is not established, but rather is an attempt to bring all these branches of the tree of physics together, to connect them, to draw and see the trunk that all the branches stem from.

String theory is highly theoretical, unproven, likely improvable and unverifiable, highly mathematical, and requires 10-11 dimensions to theoretically be able to describe the trunk of the tree of modern physics.

Here is quote from Lisa Randall PhD, a leading theoretical physicist and expert on particle physics, string theory, and cosmology:

“How many dimensions of space are there? Do we really know? By
now, I hope you would agree that it would be overreaching to claim that we know for certain that extra dimensions do not exist. We see three dimensions of space, but there could be more that we haven't yet detected.
“You know now that extra dimensions can be hidden either because
they are curled up and small, or because spacetime is warped and gravity so concentrated in a small region that even an infinite dimension is invisible. Either way, whether dimensions are compact or localized, spacetime would appear to be four-dimensional everywhere, no matter where you are.”

-Lisa Randall PhD, Warped Passages: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe’s Hidden Dimensions, pg. 437

 

Lisa Randall is saying, according to modern physics, that there may be very large, even infinitely large, invisible dimensions that do exist, although we can only perceive the 4 dimensions of space-time.

And here is a quote from Stephen Hawking Phd, one of the most famous scientists and theoretical astrophysicists of our time, commenting his thoughts on Randall’s work:

If fact, in order to explain the rate in which stars orbit the center of our galaxy, it seems there must be more mass than is accounted for by matter we observe. This missing mass might arise from some exotic species of particles in our world such as WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles) or axions (very light elementary particles). But missing mass could also be evidence of the existence of a shadow world with matter in it… Instead of the extra dimensions ending on a shadow brane, another possibility is that they are infinite but highly curved, like a saddle. Lisa Randall and Raman Sundrum showed that this kind of curvature would act rather like a second brane: the gravitational influence of an object on the brane would be confined to a small neighborhood of the brane and not spread out to infinity in the extra dimensions. As in the shadow brane model, the gravitational field would have the right long-distance falloff to explain the planetary orbits and lab measurements of the gravitational force, but gravity would vary more rapidly at short distances. There is however an important difference between this Randall-Sundrum model and the shadow brane model. Bodies that move under the influence of gravity will produce gravitational waves, ripples of curvature that travel through spacetime at the speed of light. Like the electromagnetic waves of light , gravitational waves should carry energy, a prediction that has been confirmed by observations of the binary pulsar PSR1913+16. If we indeed live on a brane in a spacetime with extra dimensions, gravitational waves generated by the motion of bodies on the brane would travel off into the other dimensions. If there were a second shadow brane, gravitational waves would be reflected back and trapped between the two branes.
On the other hand, if there was only a single brane and the extra dimensions went on forever, as in the Randall-Sundrum model, gravitational waves could escape altogether and carry away energy from our brane world. This would seem to breach one of the fundamental principles of physics: The Law of Conservation of Energy. The total amount of energy remains the same. However, it appears to be a violation only because our view of what is happening is restricted to the brane. An angel who could see the extra dimensions would know that the energy was the same, just more spread out.”

-Stephen Hawking PhD, The Universe in a Nutshell,  pgs. 184-192

While giving credence to Randall’s statement, basically Hawking says that very large extra-dimensions are possible, and would not violate the known laws of physics. In fact, their existence might help explain some rather large befuddling questions in science that are still unanswered, such as missing mass. As such, science allows for the existence of a heavenly dimension, potentially one in which angels are, and the bodies of angels could be composed of the stuff of this heavenly extra dimension.

The branch of physics called quantum mechanics deals with particles which are subatomic (smaller than an atom). Quantum mechanics has been well-established through scientific experimentation. Unlike string theory, quantum mechanics is a field of practical experimentation. It is in quantum physics that we find the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle:

“In quantum physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that certain pairs of physical properties, like position and momentum, cannot both be known to arbitrary precision. That is, the more precisely one property is known, the less precisely the other can be known. It is impossible to measure simultaneously both position and velocity of a microscopic particle with any degree of accuracy or certainty. This is not a statement about the limitations of a researcher's ability to measure particular quantities of a system, but rather about the nature of the system itself and hence it expresses a property of the universe.”
-Wikipedia, Uncertainty Principle

This basically means that on a subatomic level - that of electrons, quarks, photons, etc - there seems to be a fundamental principal of randomness. Particles go where they seem to want to go. Particles almost seem to choose what they are doing. However, these choices do form an overall pattern of statistically calculable probabilities.

One of the most well-know and respectable scientists in recent history, instrumental in the development of quantum mechanics, was Richard Feynman PhD. He worked on the Manhattan project developing the atomic bomb, was a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics, and is also known for demonstrating the O-ring defects resulting in the space shuttle Challenger tragedy.

To quote Richard Feynman PhD:
One might still like to ask: “How does it work? What is the machinery behind the law?” No one has found any machinery behind the law. No one can “explain” any more than we have just “explained.” No one will give you any deeper representation of the situation. We have no ideas about a more basic mechanism from which these results can be deduced.
We would like to emphasize a very important difference between classical and quantum mechanics. We have been talking about the probability that an electron will arrive in a given circumstance.
We have implied that in our experimental arrangement (or even in the best possible one) it would be impossible to predict exactly what would happen. We can only predict the odds!
This would mean, if it were true, that physics has given up on the problem of trying to predict exactly what will happen in a definite circumstance. Yes! Physics has given up.  We do not know how to predict what would happen in a given circumstance, and we believe now that it is impossible—that the only thing that can be predicted is the probability of different events. It must be recognized that this is a retrenchment in our earlier ideal of understanding nature. It may be a backward step but no one has found a way to avoid it.
No one has figured a way out of this puzzle. So at the present time we must limit ourselves to computing probabilities. We say “at the present time,” but
we suspect very strongly that it is something that will be with us forever—that it is impossible to beat that puzzle—that this is the way nature really is.
-Richard P. Feynman, PhD, The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. 3, pgs.1-10,1-11

So why is it that at the scale of the tiniest parts of the universe, that there is all this randomness? Why has science given up on predictability, and accepted that uncertainty and chance rule the microscopic domain of the most basic and fundamental building blocks of the universe?

“With the advent of quantum mechanics, we have come to recognize that events cannot be predicted with complete accuracy but that there is always a degree of uncertainty. If one likes, one could ascribe this randomness to the intervention of God, but it would be a very strange kind of intervention: there is no evidence that it is directed toward any purpose. Indeed, if it were, it would by definition not be random. In modern times, we have effectively removed the third possibility above by redefining the goal of science: our aim is to formulate a set of laws that enables us to predict events only up to the limit set by the uncertainty principle.”
-Stephen Hawking PhD, The Illustrated Brief History of Time, Pg 224

There is always an element of uncertainty or chance, and this affects the behavior of matter on a small scale in a fundamental way. Einstein was almost singlehandedly responsible for general relativity, and he played an important part in the development of quantum mechanics. His feelings about the matter are summed up in the phrase “God does not play dice.” But all the evidence indicates that God is an inveterate gambler and that He throws the dice on every possible occasion.
-Stephen Hawking PhD, Black Holes and Baby Universes, pg. 70

Regarding quantum physics, Einstein said that “God does not play dice”, and Stephen Hawking says, “God throws the dice on every possible occasion”.

But what does the Bible say on the topic of dice and God?

Prov 16:33
We may throw the dice, but the LORD determines how they fall. 

Assuming that whether it is us or matter that throws the dice, it makes no difference, then what the Bible indicates is that God set up the universe to “play dice” on a quantum level. But at the same time, God is the one that determines how those “quantum dice” fall. By “quantum dice” I am referring to all of the subatomic particles/energies and their activities on the microscopic scale of the quantum level.

However, if the uncertainty principle of quantum physics is correct,
then the Bible assures us that God still sets the rules and outcomes for the seeming “randomness” of the “quantum dice”.

Some Christians who are degreed Scientists also speak on this very issue:

John Byl has a PhD in Astronomy, is the author of the book “God and Cosmos: A Christian View of Time, Space, and the Universe”, and is Professor of Mathematics and Head of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Trinity Western University.

W.G. Pollard  and, more recently, Nancey Murphy advocate that the apparently random events at the quantum level are all specific, intentional acts of God. God's action at this level is limited in that

(1) He respects the integrity of the entities with which He co-operates (e.g., He doesn't change the electron's mass arbitrarily) and

(2) He restricts His action to produce a world that, for all we can tell, is orderly and law-like.

God is the hidden variable. Murphy asserts that this position is not only theologically preferable to indeterminism, but has the further advantage of consistency with the principle of sufficient reason. Of course, if God is directly responsible for quantum events this entails that these are therefore predictable by God. Hence we are left with a deterministic universe, at least at the quantum level.”
-John Byl PhD, “Indeterminacy, Divine action and Human Freedom”

“God’s sovereignty rules out the possibility of agents acting independently of Him. In particular, quantum mechanics does not imply ontological indeterminism, given that determinist interpretations of quantum mechanics are possible, that non-physical secondary causes cannot be ruled out and that God is the primary cause for all events.”
-John Byl PhD, “Indeterminacy, Divine action and Human Freedom”


William Pollard PhD, is a Nuclear Physicist and Episcopal Priest, with a PhD in Physics and Honorary doctorates in science, divinity, law, and humane letters. He is the author of “Chance and Providence: God's Action in a World Governed by Scientific Law”. The entire book is on God operating, instead of “chance”, in quantum mechanics.

 “In the next chapter I will begin the presentation for your consideration of a quite different approach to this problem which seems to me to offer an entirely adequate solution for it. Under it, as we shall attempt to show, there can emerge again in all of its ancient power the fullness of the Biblical response to the living God who is ever active in the whole of His creation sustaining, providing, judging, and redeeming all things, both in heaven and in earth, in accordance with the mysterious and hidden purposes of His might will. At the same time, however, this is accomplished in such a way that the essential integrity and unity of science, both as it is now and as in principle it may become, is fully preserved.”
“To Einstein’s famous question expressing his abhorrence of quantum mechanics, “Does God throw dice?” the Judeo-Christian answer is not, as so many have wrongly supposed, a denial, but a very positive affirmative. For only in a world in which the laws of nature govern events in accordance with the casting of dice can a Biblical view of a world whose history is responsive to God’s will prevail.”

-William Pollard PhD, “Chance and Providence: God's Action in a World Governed by Scientific Law”, pg. 35, pg. 97
 

Nancey Murphy PhD, Theologian, is Professor of Christian Philosophy at the Fuller Theological Seminary. She also serves as an editorial advisor for Theology and Science, Theology Today, and Christianity Today.
She is the author of “Divine Action In The Natural Order”.

 “The second strategy for giving an account of the locus of divine action explores quantum physics and seeks to give an account of God’s action throughout the natural and human world by means of action at the quantum level (either alone or in conjunction with top-down action). My proposal is motivated theologically. If God is immanent in and acting in all creatures, then necessarily God is acting at the quantum level. Emphasis on this fact has the advantage of sidestepping the problem of interventionism: the laws of quantum mechanics are only statistical and therefore not subject to violation. If, as most interpreters conclude, events at this level are genuinely indeterminate, then there need be no competition between divine action and physical causation. It is possible from a theistic perspective to interpret current physics as saying that the natural world is intrinsically incomplete and open to divine action at its most basic level.”
-Nancey Murphy PhD, Dive Action In The Natural Order, pg. 131

The Bible may also present an argument of God controlling the “quantum dice” in

Col 1:16-17
Referring to Jesus Christ,

“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”

The word here for “consist” is “synistemi” (4921) and it means, “to consist of or be composed of, to cohere, put together, hold together or band together”.

According to physics, it is the subatomic force particles of bosons, and gluons that hold together atoms, and particles like photons and electrons that hold together different atoms. As such, this verse in the Bible could be referring to, that it is by God’s control over the “quantum dice” that makes the observations of quantum mechanics as they are, which is that particles we are composed of DO hold together. As such, by His actions all things hold together or “by Him all things consist”.

Assuming it is true that God does allow randomness at a quantum level of physics, but also constantly controls the outcome of that randomness, besides “upholding all things”, like the universe, “by the word of His power
( as we read in Heb 1:3), is there another possible reason for God creating the universe to be this way? Could it relate to miracles, signs and wonders? It could be.

Not only does quantum physics allow for existing particles that we can observe in experiment to act in a random way, but it also allows for particles and antiparticles (antimatter) to pop in and out of existence, seemingly randomly. These particles usually only exist for a very short time, and are called “virtual particles”.

“Down at the very tiniest length scale and trillions of times smaller than atoms, is what is known as the Planck scale where the concept of length loses its meaning and quantum uncertainty rules. At this level all known laws of physics break down and even space and time become nebulous concepts. Any and all conceivable distortions of spacetime will be popping in and out of existence in a random and chaotic dance which is going on all the time everywhere in the universe. Terms such as “quantum fluctuations” and the “quantum foam” which are used to describe this chaotic activity certainly do not do it justice.”
-Jim Al-Khalili PhD, Black Holes, Wormholes, and Time Machines, pg. 207
PhD in Theoretical Nuclear Physics, theoretical physicist at the University of Surrey

The existence of these seemingly random particles does not violate the laws of physics, especially the Law of Conservation of Energy:

 “Where did all these particles come from? The answer is that relativity and quantum mechanics allow matter to be created out of energy in the form of particle/antiparticle pairs. And where did the energy come from to create this matter? The answer is that it was borrowed from the gravitational energy of the universe. The universe has an enormous debt of negative gravitational energy, which exactly balances the positive energy of the matter.”
-Stephen Hawking, PhD, Black Holes and Baby Universes, Pg. 97


Virtual particles have been shown, through experiments, to exist, as seen in the Lamb shift and the Casimir Effect.

“These particles are called virtual because, unlike “real” particles, they cannot be observed directly with a particle detector. Their indirect effects can nonetheless be measured, and their existence has been confirmed by a small shift (the “Lamb shift”) they produce in the spectrum of light from excited hydrogen atoms.”
-Stephen Hawking PhD, Black Holes and Baby Universes, Pg 107

Regarding the Casimir Effect,
“As we saw in Chapter 7, even what we think of as “empty” space is filled with pairs of virtual particles and antiparticles that appear together, move apart, and come back together and annihilate each other. Now, suppose one has two metal plates a short distance apart. The plates will act like mirrors for the virtual photons or particles of light. In fact they will form a cavity between them, a bit like an organ pipe that will resonate only at certain notes. This means that virtual photons can occur in the space between the plates only if their wavelengths (the distance between the crest of one wave and the next) fit a whole number of times into the gap between the plates. If the width of a cavity is a whole number of wavelengths plus a fraction of a wavelength, then after some reflections backward and forward between the plates, the crests of one wave with coincide with the troughs of another and the waves will cancel out.
“Because the virtual photons between the plates can have only the resonant wavelengths, there will be slightly fewer of them than in the region outside the plates where virtual photons can have any wavelength. Thus there will be slightly fewer virtual photons hitting the inside surfaces of the plates than the outside surfaces. One would therefore expect a force on the plates, pushing them toward each other.
This force has actually been detected and has the predicted value. Thus we have experimental evidence that virtual particles exist
and have real effects.”

-Stephen Hawking PhD, The Illustrated Brief History of Time, pgs. 204-206
 

Virtual particles can include all types of particles, including photons, electrons, gluons, bosons, and quarks. According to physicists, under certain conditions in the universe, virtual particles can exist for longer periods of time and therefore become “real” particles. This particular example relates to conditions of space near a black hole, but in principle this shows that science does generally allow for the possibility of virtual particles popping into existence and becoming real particles.


“We can understand this in the following way : what we think of as “empty” space cannot be completely empty because that would mean that all the fields, such as the gravitational and electromagnetic fields, would have to be exactly zero. However, the value of a field and its rate of change with time are like the position and velocity of a particle: the uncertainty principle implies that the more accurately one knows one of these quantities, the less accurately one can know the other. So in empty space the field cannot be fixed at exactly zero, because then it would have both a precise value (zero) and a precise rate of change (also zero). There must be a certain minimum amount of uncertainty, or quantum fluctuations, in the value of the field. One can think of these fluctuations as pairs of particle of light or gravity that appear together at some time, move apart, and then come together again and annihilate each other. These particles are virtual particles like carry the gravitational force of the sun: unlike real particles, they cannot be observed directly with a particle detector. However, their indirect effects, such as small changes in the electron orbits in atoms, can be measured and agree with the theoretical predictions to a remarkable degree of accuracy. The uncertainty principle also predicts that there will be similar virtual pairs of matter particles, such as electrons or quarks. In this case, however, one member of the pair will be a particle, and the other an antiparticle (the antiparticles of light and gravity are the same as the particles).
“Because energy cannot be created out of nothing, one of the partners in a particle/antiparticle pair will have positive energy, and the other partner negative energy. The one with negative energy is condemned to be a short-lived virtual particle because real particles always have positive energy in normal situations. It must therefore seek out its partner and annihilate with it. However, a real particle close to a massive body has less energy than if it were far away, because it would take energy to lift it far away against the gravitational attraction of the body. Normally, the energy of the particle is still positive, but the gravitational field inside a black hole is so strong that even a real particle can have negative energy there. It is therefore possible, if a black hole is present, for the virtual particle with negative energy to fall into the black hole and become a real particle or antiparticle. In this case it no longer has to annihilate with its partner. Its forsaken partner may fall into the black hole as well. Or, having positive energy, it might also escape from the vicinity of the black hole as a real particle or antiparticle. To an observer at a distance, it will appear to have been emitted from the black hole.”
-Stephen Hawking PhD, The Illustrated Brief History of Time, Pgs. 134-137 

According to modern science it is possible that physical particles can randomly pop into existence seemingly out of nowhere! 

Modern Physics teaches that elementary particles, of all kinds, can and do randomly pop in and out of existence. This includes photons, which are particles of light. This also includes gravitons, which are theoretical and theoretically instrumental in gravity, as well as gluons, bosons and other force carrying particles.

Some force carrying particles are what hold quarks together to form neutrons and protons, and other force particles hold together atoms.
All of these particles can pop into existence out of nowhere, seemingly randomly, the universe allows for this, and the universe was created by God intentionally to be the way it is.

What are quarks and electrons? They are the particles that are the building blocks of atoms.

 

 

Different types of atoms make up all of the elements of matter, as seen in the periodic table of the elements.

 

Atoms are the building blocks of all the matter we see, and our bodies are made of atoms.

So assuming God, who is omnipotent, one way or another controlled the randomness of the quantum world… then this means that God could choose to have a large number of quarks, gluons, electrons, etc, pop into existence very quickly, and assemble into atoms. God could also do this in such a way that many atoms were formed, and would assemble into much larger objects, even objects large enough that we could see them.

 
This might include things like oil and grain popping into existence out of nowhere: 

1 Kings 17:8-16
And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth. And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.

God provided oil and grain for three years, though the land was in a drought with famine. This oil and grain appeared seemingly out of thin air. But another way to put it might be that it appeared out of “seemingly random quantum foam”. And there are many miracles, signs, and wonders in the Bible, done by God, which are similar to this, such as Jesus Christ feeding the multitudes.

Also, there are miraculous healings mentioned many times in the Bible. According to science, our bodies are made up of molecules of atoms, which are made from quarks and electrons and such. Consider the cases of sight being restored to the blind, the healing of the disfigured hand, the healing of lepers, and the healing of all manner of sicknesses; miracles done by Jesus Christ. Control over the “quantum dice” would be one way to explain how sick flesh was instantaneously changed into healthy flesh.

 

 And so this is perhaps one way to describe, in modern physics concepts, how God does miracles, signs, and wonders. God does do them, whether control of quantum physics is truly and specifically how, or not.

But the Bible also says that Holy angels, and Fallen angels, also work miracles, signs and wonders. (Acts 2:22, 5:12, 2 Peter 2:11, Heb 2:4, Matt 24:24, 2 Thes 2:9, Rev 13:2, 14, 16:14) So it could be an accurate description to say that how fallen angels also do miracles, signs, and wonders is because they too somehow have control over the “quantum dice”, though definitely on a more limited scale than God does.

The Bible teaches that God is everywhere in the universe, and there is nowhere that He is not. Whereas fallen angels have a set, limited, location for their body, and are only in one place at a time, much like mankind. Under this line of reasoning, God has power, and “quantum power” everywhere in the universe, but fallen angels only have power or “quantum power” in their immediate location. Also, God has power over the fallen angels bodies themselves, as their bodies are part of the creation, whereas fallen angels have no such power over God.

It does make some analogous sense that all angels would have powers like God, but limited, for the Bible several times in the Old Testament calls angels the “sons of God”. (Gen 6, Job 1:6, Job 2:1, Psalm 29:1, 89:6)

It may be that the extra-dimensionality of angels is what would make possible them having limited control over the “quantum dice” in their immediate location.

“Today, however, physicists are following a different trail-the one leading to superstring theory. Unlike previous proposals, it has survived every blistering mathematical challenge ever hurled at it. Not surprisingly, the theory is a radical-some might say crazy-departure from the past, being based on tiny strings vibrating in 10-dimensional space-time… In superstring theory, the subatomic particles we see in nature are nothing more than different resonances of the vibrating superstrings, in the same way that different musical notes emanate from the different modes of vibration of a violin string.”
-Michio Kaku PhD, “Into the Eleventh Dimension”, author of Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey through the 10th Dimension, Oxford University Press.

According to String Theory, particles in the 4-dimensional spacetime we observe, are the result of vibrations of 1-dimensional strings that exist in an additional 6-7 dimensions, in the scientific sense of the word, or 10-11 dimensions total.

As such, speaking generally, according to science in principle, it is possible that the extradimensionality of angels would allow for their altering of particles in our 4 dimensional world, on the subatomic quantum level. As such, their extradimensionality, in the heavenly realm, may be tied directly to their ability to work “miracles, signs, and wonders”, possibly through being able to determine how the “quantum dice” fall (on a limited scale in their immediate locality).

Let’s review the Biblically described abilities of fallen angels: Mental Attacks, Physical Attacks, and Combination Attacks.


Fallen Angelic Apparitions     

Mental Attacks
                        1. Visions – real to the bodily senses  √
                                    a. Fully, or partially, overlaying objective reality, √
                                    b. fully awake, or a waking trance state √
                                    c. one person or multiple people √

     2. Dreams – not real to bodily senses, and happen while asleep √ 

Physical Attack - Lasting physical effects in objective reality with multiple witnesses
                        1. Visible angels √
                        2. Invisible angels √ 

Combination Attacks
                        1. Normal or Manipulated perception of time ?
                        2. Objects carried in/taken with, or not √

I think that fallen angels being able to control (in a limited sphere of influence) how the “quantum dice” fall, would work as a way to explain Physical Attacks very easily, both with visible angels materializing, or seeing the physical effects of invisible angels, including the Physical Attack aspects of Combination attacks. With the exception of time perception manipulation, I also think this “quantum dice” idea explains all varieties and aspects of Mental Attacks quite well, as well as the Mental Attack aspects of Combination attacks.

“The human brain, however, is also subject to the uncertainty principle. Thus, there is an element of the randomness associated with quantum mechanics in human behavior. But the energies involved in the brain are low, so quantum mechanical uncertainty is only a small effect.”
-Stephen Hawking PhD, Black Holes and Baby Universes, Pg. 133

Although the quantum mechanical uncertainty effect is normally small in the human brain, if fallen angels can determine how the “quantum dice” fall, then a fallen angel could make the effect quite large and noticeable.

Regarding Mental Visions, and the Mental Attack aspects of Combination attacks, all of our physical senses are dependant on how our brain interprets them. By fallen angels generating electrical impulses in the brain, and such things like that, fallen angels would be able to make us “see” things that are not actually in front of our eyes, and “hear” things that are not there to make any sound, “feel” things that are not touching our bodies, “smell” things not before our noses, and “taste” things that are not on our tongues. These things would seem completely real to all of the bodily senses.  

They could occur awake or in a waking trance state, and could fully or partially overlay objective reality. Fallen angels could cause this to happen to more than one person at a time. So that covers Mental Attack Visions, and the Mental Attack aspects of Combination Attacks. Mental Attack Dreams could be explained much in the same way, but the attack occurring while the person is asleep and dreaming.

 


 

Chapter 8
 Modern Physics - Time Perception Manipulation

Let’s look at some of the examples of time perception manipulation mentioned earlier:

(The case of Jesus Christ’s wilderness temptation mentioned in the Bible was likely at least hours in less than 1 second, but it is not specific enough to know for sure, for the sake of calculations).

The case of Robert was about 2 hours in about 1 minute.
The Valdes case was about 5 days in 15 minutes.
The case of Michael was about 20 years in about 7 days.  

In a seconds-to-second ratio, this equates to:
Robert: 7200 seconds in 60 seconds, or a ratio of 120 seconds in 1 second
Valdes: 432,000 seconds in 900 seconds, ratio of 480 seconds in 1 second
Michael: 630,720,000 seconds in 604,800 seconds, ratio 1043 seconds in 1 second

What we are going to cover next is the aspect of fallen angelic apparitions still remaining to be covered - the time perception manipulation abilities of fallen angels, as seen in Mental and Combination attacks. I will first be covering what time perception manipulation is Not, before I get into what it is.

The memories of these experiences are of real interaction between the abductee, and the vision caused by the fallen angel, in which the abductee can make choices while the experience is ongoing.

I would first like to make the point that remembered Mental Attack experiences are not memories that are ready-made and downloaded like a file into the abductee’s brain. Rather, because the abductee actively participates in decision making during the experience, the experience is stored as the events take place, over time. In short, what abductees usually experience is very different than what some people refer to as “false memories”. This can be sufficiently supported in that there are cases in which an abductee has experienced hours worth of abduction, called out to Jesus for help, the experience has abruptly stopped, and the abductee has found that only minutes had passed since the experience had begun, not hours. As Satan does not work against Satan, a fallen angel would not download a ready-made memory story that included the abduction experience stopping in the name and authority of Jesus Christ.

So this shows that abductees are able to make decisions during the vision experience, a real experience, over the gradual progression of the experience, and it progresses with time passing. It is reported that the flow of time seems normal to abductees during these experiences, along with the experience feeling real to all the bodily senses.

As the brain of the abductee is an integral part of how fallen angels carry out these attacks, and the memories of these attacks are stored in the brain, then the time perception manipulation aspect of these attacks must be explainable in a way that is consistent and not conflicting with the physical human brain and how it functions. And so any explanation of time perception manipulation must be limited and confined to explanations that do not conflict with the science of the human brain.

In examining this further, I am going to keep relevant and prevalent in this explanation that it has been shown in Mental Attacks that time perception manipulation is present while the abductee’s body does not go anywhere. This is important. I would assert that any solution that would work to explain time perception manipulation in this scenario would also work in all other scenarios, though the opposite would not be true. So it saves time to just figure out the most restrictive scenario in difficulty of science-friendly explanation.

If we were to assume that time perception manipulation involves a compacting or compressing of extensive experiences into a short period of time, then this would require the human brain in one second to handle somewhere from a hundred to a thousand times more information than the brain usually processes in one second.

The brain processes information by the firing of neurons.

The only information I could find on neurons firing more rapidly than normal were studies on psychoactive drugs, heroin especially. As abductees do not report experiencing a heroin-like sensation, this is experimental evidence that overly-rapid neuronic firing in the normal passage of time will not work to explain this time perception manipulation. 

And as such, time perception manipulation does not involve a compacting or compressing of extensive experiences into a short period of time. The only other option is that these experiences actually do take as much time as subjectively perceived by the abductee, though objective time passage for the rest of the world is much shorter.

A major example for this may be seen in the theory of general relativity. According to relativity, no matter what speed a person moves, time is perceived to pass at the same rate. However, less time will comparatively pass for an accelerated person than for a (relatively) stationary person. Yet either person will feel time passing at the same rate. It could be argued from a theological standpoint that God designed the human brain to need a consistent flow of actual time in order to function correctly, and designed a universe in which time passage would remain consistent, no matter to what speed a human might accelerate.

Because the abductee’s brain is involved in the process, yet their body does not go anywhere, many theoretical physics concepts dealing with time would not work to explain how the brain can experience more time while the body experiences less time.

 

 

Could general relativity, and time dilation explain how this works?
Relativistic Time Dilation would not work, because it would require the body to feel acceleration (or its gravitational equivalent) in comparison to the brain, at over 99% the speed of light. This speed would be necessary to produce a 100 or 1000 seconds to 1 second ratio. This is not what is reported by witnesses of the abductee’s body, that see it does not go anywhere, so this cannot be the case, aside from the fact that such a thing would likely kill the abductee.

 

Could time travel gained by travel to the future, and then the past, explain this extra time?

Although there is a type of theoretical wormhole, called a CTC, which could be used in this way, if many detailed criteria were met, but according to the current consensus of scientists, a CTC would not work for time travel to the past. This manner specifically would involve moving a brain to another location in 4d spacetime, spending a real amount of time in that other location, and then the brain traveling back in time to the same moment it left. Even if this could work without killing the abductee, a CTC wormhole still would not work for returning the brain to the past, as a CTC will not work for time travel to the past.

Kip Thorne and Stephen Hawking had an ongoing debate for about 20 years over the subject of time travel into the past, using a CTC wormhole, for time travel, involving 2 locations in this 4d universe. The debate, based on their books, seems to have become settled, with Thorne (pro-possibility of time travel) coming to agree with Hawking (anti-possibility of time travel). Here are some highlights:

 “Perhaps fortunately for our survival (and that of our mothers), it seems that the laws of physics do not allow such time travel. There seems to be a Chronology Protection Agency that makes the world safe for historians by preventing travel into the past. What seems to happen is that the effects of the uncertainty principle would cause there to be a large amount of radiation if one traveled into the past. This radiation would either warp space-time so much that it would not be possible to go back in time, or it would cause space-time to come to an end in a singularity like the big bang and the big crunch. Either way, our past would be safe from evil-minded persons. The Chronology Protection Hypothesis is supported by some recent calculations that I and other people have done. But the best evidence we have that time travel is not possible, and never will be, is that we have not been invaded by hordes of tourists from the future.”
-Stephen Hawking PhD, Black Holes and Baby Universes Pg. 154 (1994) 

 “Translating back the viewpoint of an observer at rest in the wormhole (the observer that Kim and I had relied on), Hawking’s conjecture meant that the quantum gravity cutoff occurs 10^-95 second before the wormhole becomes a time machine, not 10^-43 second – and by then, according to our calculations, the vacuum fluctuational beam is strong enough, but just barely so, that it might indeed destroy the wormhole.”
-Kip S. Thorne PhD, Black Holes and Time Warps pg. 520 (1994)

“Hawking suspects that the growing beams of vacuum fluctuations is nature’s way of enforcing chronology protection: Whenever one tries to make a time machine, and no matter what kind of device one uses in one’s attempt (a wormhole, a spinning cylinder, a “cosmic string”, or whatever), just before one’s device becomes a time machine, a beam of vacuum fluctuations will circulate through the device and destroy it. Hawking seems ready to bet heavily on this outcome. I am not willing to take the other side in such a bet. I do enjoy taking bets with Hawking, but only bets that I have a reasonable chance of winning. My strong gut feeling is that I would lose this one. My own calculations with Kim, and unpublished calculations that Eanna Flanagan (a student of mine) has done more recently, suggest to me that Hawking is likely to be right. Every time machine is likely to self-destruct (by means of circulating vacuum fluctuations) at the moment one tries to activate it.”
-Kip S. Thorne PhD,  Black Holes and Time Warps pg. 521 (1994)

That was all from 1994, but a more recent quote from 2001 shows the issue has generally been settled:

“… Since the sum-over-histories calculations in these backgrounds are mathematically equivalent, one can conclude that the probability of these backgrounds goes to zero as they approach the warping needed for time loops. In other words, the probability of having sufficient warping for a time machine is zero. This supports what I have called the Chronology Protection Conjecture: that the laws of physics conspire to prevent time travel by macroscopic objects.
“Although time loops are allowed by the sum over histories, the probabilities are extremely small. Based on the duality arguments I mentioned earlier, I estimate the probability that Kip Thorne could go back and kill his grandfather as less than one in ten with a trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion zeroes after it… As gambling men, Kip and I would bet on odds like that. The trouble is, we can’t bet each other because we are now both on the same side.”

-Stephen Hawking PhD, The Universe in a Nutshell, pgs. 152-153 (2001)                                                                                        

One problem with time travel to the past between 2 locations in 4d spacetime, is that, put simply, electromagnetic vacuum fluctuations would build up traveling in a loop from the present to the past, an infinite loop, and this would destroy any pathway from the present to the past. Stephen Hawking and Kip Thorne have said, CTC wormholes won’t work for time travel to the past.

As such, this is also not a possibility for time perception manipulation during abductions, and it can summarily be concluded that abductees’ brains do not go anywhere, or time travel. Time gained by traveling to the future, and then the past, is not allowed by physics in any way that would fit this time perception manipulation scenario.  

Biblically, this can be understood in that God created the universe so as to not allow time travel into the past. God controls both sides of the wormhole, and it is God who would make it so electromagnetic vacuum fluctuations in a loop from the wormhole mouths would destroy the wormhole before it would make possible time travel into the past.  

God created time, as did Jesus Christ, as all things were created through him. Jesus Christ says:

Rev 22:13
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

As such God has complete authority over time, and simply does not allow time travel to the past, or the future and then the past again.

So what is going on?

The key verse is Luke 4:5
“And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.”

This verse does not describe time travel to the past. In contrast, this verse describes a long period of time passing during a second, or less than a second.

Or another way to say this is that some extra time was perceptually gained by the person, more than the objective passage of time that God controls.

This verse describes a long period of time passing during a second, or less than a second. Or another way to say this is that some extra time was perceptually gained by the person, more than the objective passage of time that God controls. So how would a fallen angel do this? How might this work?

The answer is that there is simply more to the dimension of time than we normally think of there being. I believe the Bible sets precedence for this concept, and this is how I would interpret Joshua’s Long Day.

Josh 10:12-14
Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

I have read several theories to explain how this worked, but here is mine:

When God made the dimension of time, He made it to have both its flow in length, as we normally perceive, and draw as a line, but also to have a width to it, at right angles to its length. This width is normally small and tight like a string. But the width of time is like a stretchy material, like a rubber band, and so if God wants to, God can stretch out the width of time. The width of time is not affected by the 3 dimensions of space, or things like gravity or speed. The length of time is what is referred to in “spacetime”, but the width of time exists unaffected by the things that would normally affect the length of time.

In Joshua’s Long Day, it was the width of time that God stretched out, around the surface of the earth, and for the people on the earth. As such the people on earth experienced long time passage in the width of time, during what was a brief moment in the length of time.

I believe that according to physics this is possible. Although the concept of time having a dimension of “width” is in its infancy, there is some information to be found on it. The concept which parallels the “width” of time in modern theoretical physics is the concept of “imaginary time”:

“…One of these is that it is easier to do the sum if one deals with histories in what is called imaginary time rather than in ordinary, real time. Imaginary time is a difficult concept to grasp, and it is probably the one that has caused the greatest problems for the readers of my book. I have also been criticized fiercely by philosophers for using imaginary time. How can imaginary time have anything to do with the real universe?
I think these philosophers have not learned the lessons of history. It was once considered obvious that the earth was flat and that the sun went around the earth, yet since the time of Copernicus and Galileo, we have had to adjust to the idea that the earth is round and that it goes around the sun. Similarly, it was long obvious that time went for the same rate for every observer, but since Einstein, we have had to accept that time goes for at different rates for different observers. It also seemed obvious that the universe had a unique history, yet since the discovery of quantum mechanics, we have had to consider the universe as having every possible history.  I want to suggest that the idea of imaginary time is something that we will also have to come to accept. It is an intellectual leap of the same order as believing that the world is round. I think that imaginary time will come to seem as natural as a round earth does now. There are not many Flat Earthers left in the educated world.”

-Stephen Hawking, Black Holes and Baby Universe, Pg. 81-82

Imaginary time is already a commonplace of science fiction. But it is more than science fiction or a mathematical trick. It is something that shapes the universe we live in.
-Stephen Hawking, Black Holes and Baby Universes, Pg. 83

Though it is a newer concept, it seems that imaginary time shapes the universe we live in.
According to physics, what is it like? 

You can think of ordinary, real time as a horizontal line, going from left to right. Early times are on the left, and late times are on the right. But you can also consider another direction of time, up and down the page. This is the so-called imaginary direction of time, at right angles to real time.
What is the point of introducing the concept of imaginary time? Why doesn’t one just stick to the ordinary, real time that we understand? The reason is that, as noted earlier, matter and energy tend to make space-time curve in on itself. In the real time direction, this inevitably leads to singularities, places where space-time comes to an end. At the singularities, the equations of physics cannot be defined; thus one cannot predict what will happen. But the imaginary time direction is at right angles to real time. This means that it behaves in a similar way to the three directions that correspond to moving in space. The curvature of space-time caused by the matter in the universe can then lead to the three space directions and the imaginary time direction meeting up around the back. They would form a closed surface, like the surface of the earth. The space directions and imaginary time would form a space-time that was closed in on itself, without boundaries or edges.  It wouldn’t have any point that could be called a beginning or end, any more than the surface of the earth has a beginning or end.

-Stephen Hawking PhD, Black Holes and Baby Universes, Pg 82

“When one tried to unify gravity with quantum mechanics, one had to introduce the idea of “imaginary” time. Imaginary time is indistinguishable from directions in space. If one can go north, one can turn around and head south; equally, if one can go forward in imaginary time, one out to be able to turn round and go backward. This means that there can be no important difference between the forward and backward directions of imaginary time. On the other hand, when one looks at “real” time, there’s a very big difference between the forward and backward directions, as we all know.”
-Stephen Hawking PhD, The Illustrated Brief History of Time, Pg 182 

Imaginary time does not follow the forward direction of time, but instead forms a closed loop, in which there is no distinguishable forward or backward direction. This concept seems to parallel a stretchy width to time very well. A person experiencing imaginary time could gain time, going around a closed loop on the width of time, and ending up where they started. This would allow time to be gained, and experienced, by the person, without that person moving forward on the length of time.

Could Time Perception Manipulation be explained by Imaginary Time/Width of Time? …Yes.

As I have mentioned before, the Bible calls the angels the “sons of God” in several places, and this may relate to that angels can do many of the same things that God can do, but on a more limited and local basis.

For instance, God can perform miracles, signs and wonders, and Joshua’s Long Day was one of these miraculous events. If this analogy holds true in this case, as it has in other cases, then it would make sense that fallen angels may also be able to stretch out the width of time on a limited basis. The length of time God keeps all authority over. The additional time during abductions is from fallen angels stretching out the width of time, but they cannot alter the length of time.

In abduction experiences, this could be visualized as a fallen angel stretching out the width of time around the brain of the abductee. The abductee’s brain does NOT leave their body, nor move forwards and backwards along the length of time, but does experience a gain of time from a period in which the width of time is stretched out around their brain. This allows for a gain of perceived passage of time, and would allow for a 100 seconds to 1 second, or 1000 seconds to 1 second ratio of perceived time passage.

This scenario would allow the brain to function at its normal speed, with decision making processes working as they normally do in the brain-mind-soul-spirit connection. This would also allow for memories to be stored in the brain according to the normal ways it functions.

And so this is how I would explain fallen angels accomplish time perception manipulation. This explanation of stretching the width of time around the brain of the abductee would work to explain time perception manipulation in Mental and Combination scenarios.

I find a good analogy to conceptualize an extra dimension or dimensions is the green code in the Matrix movie. Like the agents in the Matrix movie, fallen angels can alter the “code” (“quantum dice”) to change what is there and alter the green code inside a person’s mind, to change what the person is perceiving.

As such I often try to represent the three categories of Fallen Angelic Apparitions using Matrix imagery. I use a red sphere of code to represent the invisible extradimensional or heavenly realm fallen angel.

 

This is a close up of a fallen angel caused vision of an abduction. Remember that the entire vision, all 3 aliens, and the setting, are all caused by 1 fallen angel.  

This is a Mental Attack:

 

And what the person is perceiving during the Mental Attack:

 

This is an Physical Attack; the person sees an alien:

 

And here is a Combination attack:

Chapter 9
Conclusions and Spiritual Warfare

In conclusion, for Christians, the Bible does establish the kinds of things that fallen angels can do. Taking the Bible as the authoritative Word of God, on faith, there really is no need to question that fallen angels have these abilities.

Examination of the Bible shows fallen angels can cause “Vision” experiences. These Visions can range from a realism level of vivid dreams, to experiences which seem real enough to the senses as to potentially be indistinguishable from physical reality, despite being subjective personal experiences. Visions can happen in a trance state, or while awake, a “Vision” can affect one person, or several people at the same time. A person’s perception of time can be altered during a “Vision” experience. These fallen angels can also manifest into the physical realm, moving objects, even causing injuries, while they either may be perceived, or remain invisible in the spiritual realm. I see nothing in the alien abduction phenomenon which can not be explained in the Biblically known abilities and deceptive agenda of fallen angels.

The Bible says fallen angels have these abilities, and I think Christians should be able to accept that, whether modern science has caught up to the Truth of the Word of God or not. Theories in Science are always changing in a progressive accumulation of knowledge: they are not truth. Where the Bible and science seem to contradict, I believe the Bible should always be deferred to as Correct and Truth, no matter what science teaches or scientists say.

I’ve touched on topics involved with big bang theory, quantum mechanics, black holes, worm holes, extra dimensional planes, and string theory.

But I agree with what Russell Grigg, from CMI-Australia has to say on this:

“It has truly been said that Christians married in their thinking to today’s science (e.g. big bang, ten dimensions, etc.) will be widowed tomorrow.”
-Russell M. Grigg M.Sc. (Hons.), Creationist Chemist and Missionary
www.creation.com, CMI–Australia

That being said, I’m not entirely convinced about any of these theoretical things, but the aim of this lecture was to conceptualize using modern physics terminology and theories. The main point of doing this is to show that science does not preclude the existence of fallen angels, nor their Biblically described abilities, but rather I believe modern science actually completely allows for fallen angels, and their Biblically described abilities.

It is clear that the Bible says fallen angels can do things as are described in “alien abduction” accounts. Rather than disprove this seemingly supernatural activity is impossible, science actually completely allows for all of this to be possible... Modern physics shows that God created the universe to leave room for the miraculous to occur, without violating the laws of physics that He set up and maintains.

In any case, God is infinitely dimensional, without any question, having created all dimensions and everything in them, and as we know, God, in His three persons, can do anything and is All-powerful.

A fallen angel is more powerful than a human. But Jesus Christ is the
Son of God, fully God and fully man, and also infinitely dimensional.
So Jesus Christ is more powerful than any fallen angel, and even more powerful than all fallen angels combined. This is just another way of looking at what we already know, that Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of God, with all power, above every other power, principality, authority, above every angel, Holy or fallen.

Angels can only be in one place at once, as we see in Daniel 10. Angels were created by God, as Genesis 2:1 says “God created the heavens and all the host of them”.

But Jesus Christ is the fullness of the Godhead in human form, and Jesus Christ said “before Abraham was, I AM”, and John tells us “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made”, showing Jesus Christ’s infinite dimensionality as the Son of God.

And the Bible tells us

Acts 4:10-12
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, [even] by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

And we see this in abductions stopping in the name of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ can help, and does help, those who call out to Him for His help, and who have faith in Him, and believe upon the power of His Name.

So Jesus Christ is more powerful than fallen angels, in whatever form they take, one example being aliens, no matter how powerful they seem, Jesus Christ is more powerful.

The Bible confirms this in every way, including symbolically.  

 

Aliens look like Locusts:

Rev 9:3-11 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment [was] as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. And the shapes of the locusts [were] like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads [were] as it were crowns like gold, and their faces [were] as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as [the teeth] of lions. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power [was] to hurt men five months.  And they had a king over them, [which is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath [his] name Apollyon.

Insectoid Aliens look like locusts, but the Bible tells us that the locusts will not harm those with the seal of God on their foreheads. Theses locusts are like scorpions, But Jesus tells us:

Luke 10:9 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Reptilian Aliens also look like serpents, but Jesus gives power to us to tread upon scorpions and serpents!

Also, Gray Aliens look like frogs.

Rev 16:13-14 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs [come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

But Jesus tells us:

Rev 19:10-16,19-21
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.”

Jesus Christ the Lord will destroy the enemy,

Jesus Christ will win the battle.

In all the forms of the enemy, aliens or whatever else, the Bible tells us that all power over the enemy, to defeat the enemy, is in the hands of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The victory belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ.
