The existence of matter is not static and had to have a beginning. Matter can be converted to energy, and energy to matter. This awesome power is unleashed in the splitting of the atom, creating the atomic bomb.Įinstein showed that time exists only where there is matter, and that time and space are interrelated. It is only since Einstein’s day that scientists have come to understand the power that is packed in each atom. While we cannot see these forms of energy, we see results of what they can do. We cannot see gravity, but know that it is a force that pulls matter to the center of the earth. We cannot see magnetism, but as youngsters, our experience with magnets and iron filings taught us the drawing power of magnetism. Even though we cannot see what scientists refer to as “the flow of electrons,” still man has harnessed electricity and made it work for him. We cannot see electricity, but we know it exists. There are other forms of invisible power. Anciently, the invisible wind was thought to be related to the spirit realm. There are a number of energy forms we cannot see, yet we are aware that they exist. The spirit realm is unaffected by matter or substance. The third heaven could exist right here on this earth but in a different dimension invisible to humans. The third heaven is the realm of energy that permeates the universe. The second heaven is where the sun, moon, and planets are. The first heaven is where the birds fly and the clouds form. The spirit realm, which the Bible refers to as the “third heaven,” is where Yahweh dwells. The danger here is that Satan will use the power of spiritual things to deceive and convince people to dabble in spiritism for his own unholy purposes. We have learned of incidents where a loved one was in a desperate situation halfway across the world, and the one at home was awakened out of a sound sleep, becoming aware that something was amiss. (If not, how can Yahweh read our minds or hear our unspoken prayers?) Somehow our thoughts can transmit distances and be picked up by another individual. Just staring at someone and concentrating on him can bring similar results. Within a short time the targeted person wriggled in his seat and begin to look around as if someone were calling him. They were told to concentrate on him, saying his name to themselves. He prompted the class to select at a distance someone in a large audience and focus their attention on this person. But we can have an inkling of its existence by a simple experiment that was shown by a college physics professor. Some, like the Sadducees of old, do not believe in the existence of the spirit realm. Paul warns that our real battle here on earth is spiritual, in our mind, our demeanor, our beliefs, and our worship. We should have a healthy regard for the power and influence Satan and his demons wield. We can be more vulnerable to his schemes if we are unaware of how he operates. 5:8).īeing ignorant of Satan’s devices can work great harm to the believer who is striving to withstand his temptations. Peter warns us to be alert and aware of the Adversary’s intentions: “Be sober, be vigilant because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1Pet. In fact, the Adversary is an evil spirit and captain of the fallen angels who also rebelled, Jude 6. His only Son “which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen, which our hands have handled, the Word of Life” (lJohn 1:1) has come down to the physical, material world and manifested Himself to mankind.įear of the spirit world exists because we have been conditioned to think primarily of demonic or satanic activities of evil associated with spirits. The saints will also one day with spirit bodies join Him in this spirit realm. The Bible, however, has much to say about the spirit realm because our Heavenly Father Yahweh dwells there.

Through either fear or ignorance, some Bible believers are reluctant to discuss the spirit Realm.
