When you die, you will meet God...
Hebrews 9:27
Part 1 – What is the Bible stance on existence of what paranormal teams call “Ghosts”? In order to put into perspective this term of Ghosts, we need to establish common ground. This can found in Hebrews from the Bible. The writer of the book of Hebrews as some scholars think was the Apostle Paul, as just one whom possibly put “pen to paper” for this book. The bible verse that Paul instructs those believers in God and those non-believers is “Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,” Hebrews 9:27 (NIV)
This bible verse is very powerful, which places the foundation to nullify the ability to linger around, not wanting to move into the light or to crossover to be at rest. These are words which we have all heard in the paranormal community. This verse should be the foundation in which all paranormal teams use as a basis, but unfortunately very few will.
The reason this bible verse should be a foundation for all paranormal teams to embrace, is because many people in the paranormal world I have encountered do believe in a higher power. Further adding a majority of these people acknowledge that this higher power has a name they have heard at one point in time or another – GOD.
This higher power is an all knowing, all judging and by definition the Alpha and the Omega (the beginning and the end). Due to that significance of power held, how therefore can one person withstand the ability to linger around against a higher power in a spiritual form? A majority of the people in this world do believe that something does happen to us when we die. A common belief is that we leave our body to be in a spirit form. Now, this is not to get into every single aspect of both religion and the beliefs, but to just lay foundation of the point of a higher power.
Now, let’s examine another Bible verse which nullifies what paranormal people classify as Ghosts. This additional ground floor can be located in another book named Ecclesiastes. This book is penned by Solomon, the son of King David, from the Holy Bible. In Ecclesiastes 9: 5 & 6 and 10 we learn about the finality of death and the revelation that God had passed onto Solomon. Verses 5 & 6 state the following, “For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten. Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun.” (NIV)
To further add more validation to nullification of Ghosts, Solomon pens the words in Ecclesiastes 9:10 “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.” (NIV)
The bible verses 5 & 6 of Chapter 9 in Ecclesiastes clearly instruct the future readers that once we die any actions of a person once living lingering around or the desire to linger around for any “unfinished business” as a spirit form is nullified. As a once living being you will no longer take part or have a hand in, ANY business under the life we now are in. Verse 10 from the same book and chapter adds that whatever you should do, do it now while you are alive (meaning righteous works), because once you pass (i.e. die) you cannot go back and further adds that we as humans face judgment of a higher power to another realm (I.e. Heaven or Hell).
Now, the foundational work has been laid to view the paranormal realm properly. Therefore, nullifying “Ghosts” and lingering around for any unfinished business cannot exist. So then if “Ghosts” do not exist based on these key biblical verses (and many others exist – Job 14: 10-12, Luke 24: 37-39, etc…), then what is it that paranormal people curious in the proof of afterlife are encountering? Answer: FALLEN ANGELS also known as DEMONS.
Many people will feel different to this point of view because of the personal experiences that these people have felt. They feel that a loved one has truly come back to visit them. The unmistakable feelings of the warmth and love that they felt being around that “presence” which came forward to see them. The person may have even had the pleasure of certain smells that a former living one once had (I.e. Cologne or Perfume).
However, what they were experiencing is not what they thought to be. Here’s why, according to the holy bible, Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." The higher power God calls us all to be a prophet to every nation, and God is all-knowing, the Alpha and the Omega.
When the Great War in Heaven took place, Lucifer (meaning shining one, morning star) was the most beautiful angel created by God. Lucifer was given a lot of knowledge by God of his plans to create a race of beings to love and to worship God. Angels were created to serve God, but Humans were created to love God or not, which is were free will comes in (another subject for another time). Lucifer became very angry with this plan as Lucifer felt as an angelic being he and other angels were above Humans.
Due to the actions of Lucifer and those who followed Lucifer, they were expelled and as the bible states a third of the “heavenly angels” of glory were cast down to be away from the glory of God forever. Since this action was created, Lucifer and those cast with him have a “pure hatred” for man (referring to woman and child too). Therefore, the Fallen Angels also know everything about you (referring to all mankind), before you were formed in your mother’s womb as related scripture that God inspired Jeremiah to pen.
Therefore Lucifer and the unholy realm of Fallen Angels started to tempt man and create deception from the beginning of Adam and Eve. The Fallen Angels know mankind very well, and they have a customized plan for everyone on this planet. Why? Unfortunately they too knew you before you were formed in your mother’s womb much like God and their hatred against God is for what he loves.
In the next part of this entry we will discuss how these Fallen Angels come against us, so until then God’s Blessings.
