A Modern Guide to Demons and
Fallen Angels
 by Paradox Brown

 




















On the ~2 year Anniversary of this site - 12/11/09
What has changed in the new revision of A Modern Guide to Demons and Fallen Angels,
and some on why:

1. My thoughts on the Book of Enoch have changed. While previously I thought the first 16 chapters should be accepted as inspired and added to canon, I no longer think that. While I apparently ignored the full implications of "3000 ells" (300 ft.) as the size of the Nephilim giants the first time around (but noting that perhaps 300 ells or 30 ft. was how the original manuscript read), I later felt a nudge from God that my note of this likely error should not be ignored and I was not seeing the full significance of it.
The full trustworthiness of the Word of God, in all areas of life and in all ways, is too important to advocate adding even the smallest error to accepted canonical books - which are without flaw in their original writings. Also, it is not proper or scholarly handling of the Bible to make assumptions as to what the original manuscript read and change 3000 to 300 ells, either. And it was this narrow-sighted and incorrect direction I was going in.
If an original, or earlier dated manuscript, of 1st Enoch the Book of the Watchers was to be found, perhaps of just chapters 1-16, perhaps existing in some cave somewhere, in which the height of ells was in keeping with the Biblical height of giants (9-15 ft.) or the matter was not specified, then perhaps the matter could be reconsidered. But not now.
By the promptings of several people, who advised that arguing the historical accuracy of Enoch, while not the inspiration, is what I should be arguing if anything, I came to reconsider the matter, and my mind was changed to see that this was not only a viable option (which I had not been able to see clearly before), but also a better way to go.
As such there have been noticeable changes made to the first 2 chapters especially, and chapters 3 and 4, and minor modifications throughout the book.
If you see something not in line with this, as I am my own editor, please feel free to let me know of anything I may have missed.

2. The Physics-related chapters:
In this book I am trying to cover the topic of how the spiritual realm can manifest into the physical realm, in a detailed way, and from the angle of using modern physics and science theories. Despite changing to much rather different verbiage that I feel is more comprehensible than the original book, only 1 concept has actually changed.

This would be the use of CTC wormholes connecting fallen angels' bodies with the physical realm.
In the original book, I made the argument that a CTC wormhole could be used to explain how attacks by fallen angels can seem to take hours when they only last for minutes in objective time. This was intrinsically tied to the idea that fallen angels bodies were akin to spacetime bubbles detached from (but able to attach to at will) the main space-time that we know... in short that a fallen angel was created with a living body akin to a baby universe. And this was also the method I used to explain what I was calling "Holodeck" attacks, that a person "taken up" (going through a CTC wormhole) into the fallen angels' body, could then interact with a pocket physical world generated by the fallen angel - in it's body - to cover how it is that some apparition experiences seem completely physically real to the bodily senses - and one way how injuries could be caused during such experiences.
I would like to note I was Not arguing that CTC wormholes could be used across the main space-time we know, but rather between main space-time and a pocket bubble of separate space-time (fallen angel's body). I was basing these theories off of a handful of books, mainly one by Kip Thorne, which unbeknownst to me had become outdated in this area of CTC wormholes.

In later and further research, covering many more and more recently published science books, I came to realize there was now a consensus view among top scientists that CTC wormholes are impossible. Though I had read some arguments along these lines previously, they had not yet been accepted as a consensus view.

With more studying, I came to understand that my previous explanations were incorrect.
In detail - CTC wormholes would be destroyed before they could be said to exist for any purpose - because electromagnetic vacuum fluctuations (EVF) would build-up at the wormhole throat and destroy it if it tried to exist, so quickly it could not be said to exist at all.

Along the same lines, as this information has many implications, there are problems inherent in a human body transversing a CTC wormhole, which I did not previously recognize.
Because a CTC wormhole causes time to be mixed up in all directions, even the slightest amount of electromagnetic fluctuations will loop over and over and over again, producing a dramatic build-up and amplifying effect, which destroys the wormhole before it begins...

The human body itself gives off electromagnetic energy. This is a proven fact. (For one article on this, of many, go here: http://scienceblogs.com/notrocketscience/2009/07/photographing_the_glow_of_the_human_body.php)
The electromagnetic energy naturally given off by the human body - however small it is - in a CTC wormhole travel scenario, seems like it would amplify in a near-infinite loop, and would also destroy the wormhole before it began.
The fact of the human body itself giving off electromagnetic radiation it seems is a flaw fatal to any theory of a human being transversing a CTC wormhole.

Before posting these changes, I have tried to think of any ways around this electromagnetic buildup problem, and today I feel God has led me to this verse in the Bible, and I think the point is that getting around this problem would require fallen angels to be able to violate Is 43:13
"Even from eternity I am He, And there is none who can deliver out of My hand; I act and who can reverse it?"

The word here for "act" is #6466 and means "to make" or "to do" or "to fabricate".
The word for "reverse it" is #7725 meaning "reverse or revoke".
Sparing you the details of my theoretical mental acrobats attempting to kick against the pricks, anything I can think of that would fix this problem, would require for fallen angels to be able to un-create what God has created, reverse what God has made, and in doing so would violate this verse. So I no longer believe fallen angels can make CTC wormholes.

And then, I also think God led me to this verse of Is 44:24
"Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, "I, the LORD, am the maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself And spreading out the earth all alone," NASB
"Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, And He who formed you from the womb: "I am the LORD, who makes all things, Who stretches out the heavens all alone, Who spreads abroad the earth by Myself;" NKJV
"Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I [am] the LORD that maketh all [things]; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself" KJV
"stretcheth the heavens alone" in the Septuagint "alone" is "monos" #3441 which means Alone.

The word here for "stretcheth" is "natah", which also means "bowed" or "bend down", as in to stretch or bow the heavens. I have seen where people have tried to use this word "natah" to show the existence of the use of wormholes in the Bible.
I am not saying for sure that is or is not what this verse means, or is the only single interpretation of this verse possible.
But I will say, that this verse says that the Lord God Alone - God and only God - can do this - can "bow down" the heavens. If this word "natah" refers to wormholes, then only God Himself can make them. While God might do this for a Holy angel to use, surely the Lord would lend no such assistance to a fallen angel.
All in all, I no longer believe that fallen angels can generate or use CTC wormholes.

So I have been wrong, wrong, and wrong.
That being said,
I have had a question I have been holding inside myself, wondering why it was that I was so sure I felt previously that God had pointed me, by His Holy Spirit, in the direction of researching CTC wormholes towards explaining how fallen angels do what they do. I really have no doubt that He did.
I think I have an answer to this lingering question - God pointed me in a direction of study He wanted me to go and look into - but I, "through a glass darkly" was the one that assumed this meant that CTC wormholes were the correct answer. In fact, it seems clear to me now that the nudge by God in this direction of study was not to prove CTC wormholes were the correct answer, but rather through studying this theory - that I could come to see it's flaws and show that it is NOT the correct answer - not only that, but be able to gain understanding as to WHY it is incorrect.

And.... as I have come to accept this conclusion, I feel I have been receiving guidance from the Holy Spirit towards a better way, and more Biblical way, towards explaining in modern physics terminology what is experienced by people during fallen angel attacks, and the demonstrated abilities of angels from what is recorded of angelic accounts in the Bible.
In short, I am very excited about the new theories in this new revision.
I won't say all the kinks have been worked out yet - or that they ever all will be - but overall I think the theories and research have been greatly improved and are far more correct.

The task of using modern science models as a way to describe these things may be one of indefinitely having to make changes and update explanations - for the reason of, and in so much as it holds true, that science is supposed to a continuing process of human learning and reaching better understanding of the universe that God created - an infinitely wondrous and intricately complex world - which we will most likely never come to understand everything about, at least not near as well as our Creator. Science changes as we learn more that requires changes be made in our understanding - and it's normal for it to change. And I just try to keep up with the field of science as much as I can. Science is a process all about trying to understand better and better the Amazing works of the Creator - in His infinite Wisdom and Knowledge - and I think we never will do more than Try to understand all that He knows - in this life and the next.

Some of the explanations in this book are now more biological in nature, and also the concept of "imaginary time", as popularized by Stephen Hawking, has been introduced, along with much more detail on quantum physics and extra-dimensional theories. You can read these revisions mainly in chapters 6-8, or they are in the book of my lecture also, all online to read.

Also, I want to apologize to you for being so far off-track in the original book. I am sorry. And for getting it wrong, that I do apologize, and am sincerely sorry. The preface of my book was and still is mainly on asking the reader to pray to God for discernment in reading my book - as I truly and sincerely do not wish to harm anyone through false teaching. I only do all this because I feel I am called to by God, to try to help people.

I feel bad about this, for all you readers, and also for those that bought the original edition. I took the entire site down for 2 weeks in September while making the major revisions, to make them, but it is all back now. The new revision is online to read, for online readers.
Although I cannot, I really wish I could offer to replace the paperback books I have sold of the original version, with the new updated version. I simply cannot afford to make such an offer. I really wish I could.
What I can do for anyone (who bought or has) an old version of the paperback, is I can give you a promotional code for my Createspace E-store to use, which would allow you to get the book at production cost (plus shipping), with no royalty to me.
That is what I Can do. If that applies to you, please do email me and I will send you a promotional code.
And as always, the book is online free to read.

Sincerely,

Paradox Brown
