The ancient Jews buried their dead in tombs carved into the sides of hills. Many families had their own private place to bury their dead; this tradition going back hundreds of years. One day, a strange event occurred. A man was murdered, first being whipped, and then nailed to a cross to die, by those in authority in Jerusalem.

But there had been a promise of resurrection in the O.T. well before the New Testament was written. After Jesus died, there was an earthquake, and as the earth shook, many of the stones that blocked the entrance of the tombs around Jerusalem were opened, exposing the dead bodies.

What happened next is amazing. The bodies lay on the ground for 3 day, and after the Lord was raised from the dead, these bodies, were given breath, stood up, and walked into Jerusalem.

Matt.27:52-53, "The graves (of the dead) were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose. And (they) came out of the graves (meaning they lived) after His (Jesus) resurrection, and went (walked away) into the holy city (Jerusalem,) and were seen by many."

1. These bodies were buried in Israel.

2. They had to be Jews, buried in the traditional Jewish style, and in the land outside of Jerusalem.

3. They had to be Jews who had lived under law, because the new covenant was still future, the Holy Spirit had not been given, and the church was still future.

They had to be faithful Jews unto God, because they are called saints.
They were made alive.

They had to take flesh on to their bones, and have life breathed into them by the Holy Spirit.

The word "arose," means to come back from the dead to life. Arose is the same word as raised. The same word that is used to describe Christ's resurrection. The Greek word itself indicates that Christ, and these saints of Matt.27, were given incorruptible bodies, as was the Saviour, never to die again.

The Lord in this resurrected state, could be seen, or not, depending on him. He could be talking with some face to face, and they would not recognize him. He could eat, drink, and yet go through closed doors. Well anyway, these are the privileges of a resurrected body.

The last thing the Bible teaches about these people who were raised from the grave, and made alive, "They went into Jerusalem, and were seen by many."

From this point on, there is no mention of their whereabouts, or what happened to them.

Now there are some who teach they died again. This cannot be, because the word "arose, risen, and rise, means to be brought to life, and in the context of never to die again, made unto God immortal creatures.

Now the question, "What happened to them?" Because they did not die again, here are our options.

1. They went into heaven.
2. They remained on earth to do the work of the Lord for the past 2000 years.

Some laugh at this, but to deny this is to limit God's power, and understanding of the future. Elijah, and Moses dead for a thousand years and more, yet seen by the apostiles, and recognized. Appearing as men, white apparel, talking, and moving about. Seen one minute, and not the next. Samuel after he had died, was raised by a witch, and spoke to king Saul, and then disappeared again.

Those in Matt.27, when they walked into the city, were seen by many, but then its as if they just vanished.

Now to claim they died again, a person would have to change the meaning of the Greek word raised, and the context in which it is used. If anyone would claim they died again, then others can argue that Jesus died again.

Did they go to heaven? The Bible only tell us they were last seen walking into Jerusalem, and witnessed by many. There is no verse that tells us Jesus took anyone into heaven with him.

Acts 2:10, "And while they (the apostles) looked steadfastly toward heaven as he (Jesus) went up.

When the Lord was taken up into heaven, two men in white apparel approached the apostles and asked them, "Why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."

Who were these two men? Angel's? maybe. Or maybe two of those raised in Matt.27. They are called men; they seemed to know something the apostles didn't, stating that He would return just as He had left.

Now because the Scriptures are silent, I will assume these raised in Matt.27, remained here on earth to do the Lord's work. These are my thoughts.

There have been eye-witness accounts by Christians that are strange indeed, and could have only been the work of God.

In the 67 war, an Israel tank commander was leading his tanks at the Golan Heights against an overwhelming Syrian attack of infantry, and tanks. The Israel tank commander had been wounded, and his legs were crushed by a tank. As he lay dying, and most of his men had also been wounded, or killed; the Syrians army came over the hills. It appeared to be over, nothing stood between the Syrians and Jerusalem. As the commander watched, the Syrians came to the top of the hills, and stopped.

Suddenly they dropped their weapons, the tanks turned, and they all headed back to Syria. Shortly after, Israelis reinforcements came, with the air-force, the battle was over. Something stopped the Syrian army, and no-one knew what, or who. The Israeli commander lived, and was one of the founders of the rebuilding of the new temple movement.

Years later the Israeli commander heard of an interview with the commander of the Syrian army he had fought against. The Syrian commander was asked, "Why did you not continue your attack? you had the battle won." The Syrian commander explained, "What do you mean we had it won? we were totally outnumbered by men in white garments, who were armed to the teeth. Now this is either true, or there was a mass mirage among a few thousand Syrian troops.

I have this interview on tape from the men who took part in the battle. There is another eyewitness account of Christians who were being attacked by head-hunters in Africa. The compound where the Christians were, was surrounded; suddenly the head-hunters turned and ran. Years later when the chief of the tribe, became a Christian, he was asked, "Why did you not attack?" He replied, "Because we were outnumbered by men in white garments.

In both cases, the Israeli commander, and the Christians in the compound did not see this army in white; seen only by the enemy. So who were these men in white garments? I don't know, but I am inclined to think, they were either angels, or those who were raised in Matt.27; those who remained behind to do the Lord's work, led by the Holy Spirit.

One more thing. In all my research, there is strong evidence that these in Matt.27, may be the 144,000 Jews, representing the 12 tribes in Rev.7-11. They have a great deal in common with the 144,000. If nayone desires, I can give you more Scriptural information, on their similarities.

Everyone must agree with my first post, so lets move on. I have attempted to support all the following thoughts to Scripture. Careful to stay within the confines of the Greek, and the context.

Jesus was answering a question the Sadducees had asked about the marriage of a man, and woman after the resurrection.

Luke 20:35, "They which shall be accounted worthy to obtain (gain, or receive) -- the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage: NEITHER CAN THEY DIE ANYMORE: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children (sons) of the resurrection."

Now we know those in Matt.27:52, had been resurrected just after Christ had been raised. These were the first. Because this is true, they have been changed, having been raised in glory.

Compare Phil.3, and 1 Cor.15:43.

Phil.3:21, "Who shall change our vile body, that I may be fashioned like unto His (Jesus) glorious body." We will be as our Lord is, and most likely capable of doing things that we cannot do in this body.

1. He could be seen, and not recognized, even by his closest friends.
2. He appeared to be a normal man.
3. He appeared, Mark 16:12, "In another form unto two of them (his disciples.)"
4. He somehow caught up with the two disciples on the road to Emmaus.
5. In his new body, He ate, drank, spoke,
6. He walked through doors, etc.
7. He still carried the physical marks of cross.
8. And with his new body, he could live here on earth, and in heaven.
9. And apparently can travel at the speed of light.

We will, "Be fashioned like unto His glorious body." Compare with,
1 Cor.15:43, "It (our old bodies) is sown (buried) in dishonor; it is raised (resurrected) in glory: it is sown (buried) in weakness; it is raised in power." Ver.53, "For the corruptible (body) must put on incorruption (glorified body) and this mortal must put on immortality."

Rev.14:4, speaks of the 144,000; it reads, "These are they which were not defiled with women."

In other words, they are married to Jesus Christ alone. Because they are undefiled this can only mean, they had already been resurrected, and given immortality, and married only to Chirst. They were the downpayment, the earnest of the whole, a promise made to all believers by God.

Now hold that thought. The 144,000 in Rev.14:5, are called, "The first fruits unto God (the Father) and to the Lamb (Jesus.)

1 Cor.15:20, Christ is, "The first fruits of them that slept." Then is ver.23, Paul goes on to say, "Every man in his own order:"

So who was the first to be raised after Christ's resurrection? There can only be one first fruit unto God, and Christ.

The first to be resurrected from the dead were those in Matt.27:52. And if they were the first to be resurrected (AFTER) Christ's resurrection, they had to be the first-fruit offering unto the Father and the Lamb.

After, is a Greek word of time, marking a specific order; Christ first, which corresponds with,

1 Cor.15:23, "Every man in his own order."

There is no other answer unless an unscriptural opinion claims those in Matt.27, died again. But if they do, then what do you do with the following verse?

Luke 20:36, Speaking of those resurrected, "Neither can they die anymore."

So there is more Scriptural proof that those in Matt.27, are most likely those in Rev.7, and 14.

I will post more later, your thoughts.

The Greek word itself indicates that . . . these saints of Matt.27, were given incorruptible bodies

Actually, the original Greek word (egeiro, G1453) translated as "arose" in Matthew 27:52 can be used to refer to the bodies of recently dead people being resuscitated back to mortal life, like Jesus "raised (egeiro)" the recently dead Lazarus (John 12:1), who was one of his followers (John 11:11, cf. John 15:14), back into mortal life, by crying out with a loud voice (John 11:43-44).

The dead saints who were raised sometime later when they heard Jesus cry out with a loud voice on the Cross (Matthew 27:50-52, John 5:25), and who came out of their graves after Jesus' resurrection (Matthew 27:53), could have also been recently dead followers of Jesus. Their bodies were resuscitated back to mortal life, like happened with Lazarus. For the resurrection of Jesus' followers into immortal bodies won't happen until Jesus' second coming (1 Corinthians 15:21-23,52-53, 1 Thessalonians 4:15-16, Revelation 19:7-20:6), which won't happen until immediately after the future tribulation of Revelation chapters 6-18/Matthew 24 (Matthew 24:29-31, Revelation 19:7-20:6).

Elijah, and Moses dead for a thousand years and more, yet seen by the apostiles, and recognized.

Elijah never died, but was taken alive in his mortal body into heaven (2 Kings 2:11b). And Michael the archangel retrieved the recently dead body of Moses from the devil (Jude 1:9). Michael could have then taken Moses' body into heaven, where it could have been resuscitated back to mortal life, like, for example, the recently dead body of Lazarus was resuscitated back to mortal life (John 12:1). This would explain how both Moses and Elijah could appear alive and well at the transfiguration (Matthew 17:3).

Moses and Elijah could be the two (still-mortal) witnesses, who, sometime in our future, will minister on the earth and then be killed (Revelation 11:3-12). For the two people seen "standing before the God of the earth" (Revelation 11:4) at the transfiguration were Moses and Elijah (Matthew 17:3). They could come down from heaven in their mortal bodies mid-tribulation, just as they came down from heaven in their mortal bodies at the transfiguration. Also, the plagues which will be caused by the two witnesses (Revelation 11:6,5) will match plagues caused by Moses and Elijah in their mortal bodies in the Old Testament (James 5:17, Exodus 7:20, 2 Kings 1:10-14).

The two witnesses will bring their plagues upon the world during the (literal) 3.5 years (Revelation 11:2b-3) of the worldwide reign of the Antichrist (the individual-man aspect of the beast) (Revelation 13:5,7, Revelation 12:6). That's why the reign of the Antichrist will legally end (Revelation 11:15) right after the time of the two witnesses on the earth will end (Revelation 11:12-15).

The plagues which the two witnesses will bring upon the earth (Revelation 11:6) will be part of the second woe/sixth trumpet (Revelation 11:14, Revelation 9:12-13). The two witnesses will be taken up into heaven before the seventh trumpet sounds (Revelation 11:12,15).

The two witnesses may not be witnesses in the sense of evangelizing the world (Acts 1:8) (as it sometimes claimed), for the original Greek word (martus, G3144) translated as "witnesses" (Revelation 11:3) can also refer to those who witness against people and bring punishment against them (Acts 7:58). The reason there will be two witnesses (Revelation 11:3) who will bring awful plagues to torment the unrepentant world (Revelation 11:6,10b) would be because at least two witnesses are required to bring judgment against people (1 Timothy 5:19). At the same time, the two "witnesses" could also be called that because both of them will be martyred (Revelation 11:7-9), for the same Greek word translated as "witnesses" (Revelation 11:3) can also refer to "martyrs" (Revelation 17:6).

Actually, no, because other scriptures make clear that he didn't (e.g. Revelation 1:18).

There is no verse that tells us Jesus took anyone into heaven with him.

All the OT believers are now part of the church in heaven (Hebrews 11:13-16, Hebrews 12:22-24), because now there are no believers outside of the church (Ephesians 4:4-6). And 1 Peter 4:6, 1 Peter 3:18c-19, and Ephesians 4:9 show that there was a post-resurrection descent of Jesus into Hades to preach the fulfillment of the gospel (of 1 Corinthians 15:1-4) to the souls of the dead in Hades, sometime subsequent to which preaching Christ ascended into heaven with all the souls of those in Hades who had died in faith (Ephesians 4:8-9, Hebrews 11:13-16, Hebrews 12:22-24).

In all my research, there is strong evidence that these in Matt.27, may be the 144,000 Jews, representing the 12 tribes in Rev.7-11.

Note that the 144,000 are Christians (Revelation 14:1,4), and so they're members of the church (cf. Ephesians 4:4-6). They're the firstfruits of the church (Revelation 14:4b) in the sense of being its best part (cf. Numbers 18:12). They're male virgins (Revelation 14:4) who could all have been born in the 20th or 21st century, and who could all be alive on the earth today. They will all be alive on the earth when the future tribulation of Revelation chapters 6-18/Matthew 24 begins, and so they will all enter into it (Revelation 7:4, Revelation 9:4), just as all the rest of the church alive on the earth when the tribulation begins will enter into it (cf. Revelation 7:9,14), for there will be no pre-tribulation rapture (2 Thessalonians 2:1-8, Mark 13:24-27).

-

The 144,000 can include both Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians. For just as all genetic Jews in the church remain members of the tribe of Israel into which they were born (Romans 11:1b, Acts 4:36b), so all genetic Gentiles in the church have been grafted into Israel (Romans 11:17,24, Ephesians 2:12,19, Galatians 3:29), and so have been grafted into its various tribes (cf. Ezekiel 47:21-23). So the entire church is the twelve tribes of Israel (Revelation 21:9b,12b).

This is necessary because all those in the church are saved only by the New Covenant (Matthew 26:28, 1 Corinthians 11:25, 2 Corinthians 3:6, Hebrews 9:15), and the New Covenant is made only with Israel (Jeremiah 31:31-34, John 4:22b). John 10:16 refers to the "other sheep" of believers who are Gentiles being brought into "this fold" of Israel, which is the same as the "one fold" of the church (1 Corinthians 12:13, Ephesians 4:4-6, Revelation 21:9b,12b).

Also, all those in the church, no matter whether they're genetic Jews (Acts 22:3) or genetic Gentiles (Romans 16:4b), have become spiritually-circumcised Jews if they've undergone the spiritual circumcision of water-immersion (burial) baptism into Jesus Christ (Romans 2:29, Philippians 3:3, Colossians 2:11-13).

A genetic Gentile believer can pray and ask which tribe of Israel he's a part of, and he will receive an answer from God, if he asks in faith (cf. Matthew 21:22), without any wavering (cf. James 1:6-7).

The tribe of Dan is missing from the list of the twelve tribes of the 144,000 (Revelation 7:4-8; there, "Joseph" stands for Ephraim: Numbers 1:32, Psalms 78:67, Ezekiel 37:16b,19), because the Israel the 144,000 are from isn't genetic Israel with its twelve genetic tribes (Genesis 49:28) which include Dan (Genesis 49:17), but rather spiritual Israel, which is different than genetic Israel (Romans 9:3-8), and which consists of all the elect Romans 9:11-13), both Jews and Gentiles (Romans 9:24).

-

All obedient believers will be spiritually protected during the future tribulation of Revelation chapters 6-18/Matthew 24, no matter what happens to them physically (Romans 8:35-37). And some in the church will also be physically protected during some or all of that time, while others in the church won't be physically protected during that time.

The 144,000 male-virgins part of the church (Revelation 14:4), along with some others in the church, will be physically protected so that they will survive the first stage (Revelation 6) of the coming tribulation, while many others in the church won't be physically protected, so that they will die during that first stage, and their souls will enter into heaven (Revelation 7:9,14).

After the first stage is over, the 144,000 part of the church will be sealed (Revelation 7:3-4) for physical protection (Revelation 9:4) before the seventh seal of the tribulation is unsealed (Revelation 8:1). Out of the seventh seal will come the seven trumpets of the tribulation (Revelation 8:1-2). The events of the first six trumpets up to Revelation 9:19 will be the second stage of the tribulation. The seal that the 144,000 will receive (which will be different from and in addition to the seal of the Holy Spirit himself which they and all other believers receive: Ephesians 1:13b) will physically protect them during this second stage (Revelation 9:4). Everyone else in the church still alive on the earth at that time won't necessarily be physically protected, but at least some will be.

This physical protection of some in the church but not others in the church during the coming tribulation will be similar to how the first-century local church congregation in the city of Philadelphia in the Roman province of "Asia" (Revelation 1:11) was physically protected during one specific first-century tribulation (Revelation 3:10) while the first-century local church congregation in the city of Smyrna in the Roman province of "Asia" (Revelation 1:11) wasn't physically protected during that one specific first-century tribulation (Revelation 2:10).

After the second stage of the future tribulation of Revelation chapters 6-18 is over, the 144,000 male virgins part of the church (like Enoch and Elijah were caught up in their mortal bodies into heaven: Hebrews 11:5, 2 Kings 2:11) will be caught up in their mortal bodies as the "man child" to the throne of God in heaven (Revelation 12:5; Revelation 14:4-5, TR), right before the third stage of the tribulation, the 3.5-year worldwide reign of the Antichrist (the individual-man aspect of the beast), begins (Revelation 12:5-6, Revelation 13:5-8). This 3.5-year time period is shown from four different angles in Revelation chapters 11-14 (Revelation 11:2b-3, Revelation 12:6,14, Revelation 13:5-10, Revelation 14:9-13).

The 144,000 male-virgins part of the church (Revelation 14:1,4) will remain up in heaven before God's throne (Revelation 14:5, TR) during the 3.5-year worldwide reign of the Antichrist (Revelation 14:9-13, Revelation 13:5-10) while two other parts of the church will still be on the earth: the figurative "woman" who represents all those in the church who will flee into wilderness places and be physically protected (Revelation 12:6,14), and the remnant of the woman's seed (Revelation 12:17), who will be all those in the church who will remain in the cities and not be physically protected, but will be persecuted in every nation, imprisoned, and beheaded by the Antichrist (Revelation 13:7-10, Revelation 14:12-13, Revelation 20:4-6, Matthew 24:9-13).

After the 3.5-year worldwide reign of the Antichrist is declared legally over at the sounding of the seventh trumpet (Revelation 11:15), the seven plagues of the seven vials of God's wrath will come out of the heavenly temple opening of the seventh trumpet (Revelation 11:19, Revelation 15:5-16:1). These seven vials will be the fourth and final stage (Revelation 16) of the tribulation.

Because the church isn't appointed to God's wrath (1 Thessalonians 5:9), none of the vials of God's wrath will be directed at any of those in the church who will still be alive on the earth during that time, still waiting for Jesus' coming as a thief (Revelation 16:15). Instead, they will go into protective chambers which they will have built for themselves on the earth (Isaiah 26:20), just as Noah and his family went into the protective ark which they had built for themselves on the earth (Genesis 7:7).

So some in the church will survive the entire future tribulation of Revelation chapters 6-18/Matthew 24 while remaining on the earth. They are those who will be alive on the earth at the second coming of Jesus to be raptured (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17) immediately after the tribulation (Matthew 24:29-31, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8). These survivors will have experienced God's miraculous physical protection (cf. Psalms 91) throughout the entire tribulation, without having to have been part of the 144,000.

-

The number 144,000 in Revelation 7:4 and Revelation 14:1,3 is a literal number of people, which will consist of twelve groups with 12,000 people in each group (Revelation 7:5-8).

Similarly, the 144,000 will be literal male virgins, never having had intercourse with women (Revelation 14:4), just as 1 Corinthians 7:25 refers to literal virgins.

-

While the 144,000 male-virgins part of the church is the firstfruits of the church (Revelation 14:4), in the sense of its best part (cf. Numbers 18:12), this doesn't create a schism in the church, for as believers the 144,000 are still an integral part of the one and only body of the church made up of all believers (Ephesians 4:4-6). But in this one body, all believers "have not the same office" (Romans 12:4); some believers have better offices/gifts than others (1 Corinthians 12:28-31).

-

During the coming tribulation, the unsaved (and the apostate) people who will be assigned to have the mark of the Antichrist (the individual-man aspect of the beast) placed on their foreheads (instead of on their right hands) (Revelation 13:16) could be those who will be an elite, illumined, cognoscenti class of Gnostic Luciferians who alone will have been given knowledge of the ultimate secrets of the Antichrist's Gnostic Luciferianism. The Antichrist will be both a Luciferian (Revelation 13:4) and a Gnostic, denying that Christ is in the flesh (1 John 4:3), and forbidding marriage and the eating of meat (1 Timothy 4:1-3). The cream of his cognoscenti could be a faux 144,000, consisting of male virgins (as a counterfeit of Revelation 14:4) who have never eaten meat. If they receive the mark of the Antichrist's name (instead of a representation of the number of his name) (Revelation 13:17) on their foreheads, this will be as a counterfeit of YHWH's 144,000 in Revelation 14:1. But the Antichrist won't pretend that he's YHWH, just as he won't pretend that he's Christ. Instead, as a Gnostic he will utterly revile YHWH (Revelation 13:6, Daniel 11:36). And his Gnostic denial that Christ is in the flesh (1 John 4:3) will disqualify him (under his mistaken Gnostic doctrine) from being the Christ.

He walked through doors, etc.

It's because of observations like John 20:26, Luke 24:31, and Daniel 5:5, that the spiritual realm could involve a fourth, higher spatial dimension in which spiritual entities are able to move about without being seen by entities in the three physical spatial dimensions. The spiritual spatial dimension would be higher than the physical spatial dimensions in the same sense that the third physical spatial dimension is higher than the first two physical spatial dimensions. And so from the spiritual realm, the physical realm would appear flat, just as from three physical spatial dimensions something in only two physical spatial dimensions appears flat. An entity with access to the spiritual spatial dimension could do such things as suddenly appear in a locked room (John 20:26), or suddenly disappear (Luke 24:31), or enter only part of himself into the physical realm (Daniel 5:5). This ability would apply not only to spiritual beings, but to any spiritual wave or particle.

What science is missing, in its search for a "Theory of Everything" that can unify all the physical forces in the universe, is spirit, so that by continuing to reject the whole idea of spirit, science can never hope to understand the universe at its most fundamental level or what its ultimate origin was: "As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit . . . even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all" (Ecclesiastes 11:5).

Even though spirit isn't physical, the relationship between the spiritual and the physical may be analogous to the relationship between energy and matter. Just as the relationship of energy to matter (that which has mass) is summarized by the equation e=mc^2 (superscript 2), which means that immense amounts of energy are congealed and compacted, as it were, in order to form each tiny particle of matter, so the relationship between spirit and energy could theoretically be summarized by the equation s=ec^2 (superscript 2), meaning that immense amounts of spirit may be congealed and compacted, as it were, in order to form each tiny photon of energy. All energy being based on spirit would make sense, for God is a Spirit (John 4:24), and in him everything consists (Colossians 1:17, Acts 17:28).

When science's equations regarding such things as the Big Bang singularity, black holes, and quantum entanglement require the inclusion of infinities, these infinities shouldn't be seen as "failures" ultimately, but as pointers to something which goes beyond the boundaries of the physical, i.e. as pointers to spirit. If science ever becomes able to describe spirit mathematically using proportional numbers rather than infinities, this could lead to new technologies (e.g. spiritual power plants, spiritual bombs), just as when science became able to describe atomic nuclei mathematically, this led to new technologies (e.g. nuclear power plants, nuclear bombs).

Just as energy consists of both particles (photons) and waves (electromagnetic waves) at the same time, so the basis for all energy, spirit, could consist of both particles (spiritons) and waves at the same time. If spirit is equivalent to consciousness, and consciousness consists of logic, emotion, and memory, then spiritual waves could consist of three different sine waves (logic waves, emotion waves, and memory waves) which could be interlocked at 60-degree angles, just as electromagnetism consists of two different sine waves (electric waves and magnetic waves) interlocked at a 90-degree angle. But by our current, strictly-physical-based mathematics, a spiritual wave or a spiriton would show up in a calculation as an infinity, and so it could be mistakenly rejected by our current science as a "failure". It's possible that by creating a mathematics which involves five dimensions of space-time, the apparently-infinite value of a spiritual wave or a spiriton could be reduced to a proportional value. String Theory has shown that it's mathematically possible that space-time has more than four dimensions.

If spiritual particles exist, they could be "the God Particle" of science. If the Large Hadron Collider reaches a high-enough energy level so that a "God Particle" manifests for a nanosecond, its observed qualities might only be able to be described (by our current science) by equations involving infinite values, so that its qualities and actions would be seen as "impossible" and "spooky" by our current science, instead of science finally admitting to the existence of a substance which isn't physical, i.e. admitting to the existence of spirit. And this wouldn't have to be seen by scientists as some weird, foreign substance, but rather as the most fundamental substance of even their own selves (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

The really sad and dangerous thing is that even if science does eventually detect "the God Particle" and comes to admit that it's a non-physical particle, which science could call the "spiriton", some scientists could still refuse to believe in and submit themselves to God (YHWH), saying that the existence of spirit doesn't require that there's one infinite, conscious spirit-being called "God" or "YHWH". And in its subsequent experiments with spirit, science could come into contact with the evil spirit-being called Satan, or Lucifer, who could manifest himself in some high-energy experiment and claim that he's the true God of mankind and must be worshipped, so that a nascent spiritual science could be hijacked and employed by Lucifer and his worshippers as one part of their coming deception by which the world eventually will be deceived into worshipping Lucifer (the dragon) and his human son the Antichrist (the individual-man aspect of the beast) (Revelation 13:4-18).

The unity of mankind that will occur at that time could be like that which occurred at the time of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:6), and there could even be an end-time equivalent to the Tower of Babel, which could be built in the rebuilt city of Babylon (in Iraq). For Lucifer could show mankind how to build there a huge tower device, a huge spiritual machine the size of the Empire State Building which will be able to send up into the sky an incredibly powerful spiritual beam analogous to a laser. Near the end of the tribulation, Lucifer could tell mankind that it will need to employ this huge weapon during an impending battle against YHWH (Revelation 16:14b, Revelation 19:19). Mixing some science fiction with some ancient lies of Gnosticism, Lucifer could tell mankind something like:

"YHWH is now heading toward the earth in his gigantic spaceship which is shaped like a Borg Cube [cf. Revelation 21:2a,16]. He's coming to enslave you and to turn you all into Borg-like automatons. But this mighty Tower Device will be able to blow his Borg Cube and him to bits with its spiritual ray. Then we can focus the Tower Device on any point of empty space until it burns in space-time a hole, a portal through which I will lead your spirits out of this vile material universe which YHWH made to be your prison, and I will lead you back up into the purely-spiritual realm of the Pleroma, where you can live in bliss as gods forever, doing as you please, just as you had done for all ages past with me before we by mistake fell into YHWH's trap".

Before the second coming happens, Lucifer could prove the power of the Tower Device to mankind by letting the Antichrist or his False Prophet use it to blow up some large asteroids out in space, so that mankind will go into its battle against YHWH in full confidence that it will be able to destroy him. But when the battle comes the device won't work against YHWH (cf. Psalms 21:11, KJV). Instead, Jesus Christ (who is YHWH: John 10:30, Zechariah 14:3-4) will take total victory in the battle (Revelation 19:11-20:6).
