The Greek word “elements” in this text is from the word “stoicheion.” It is translated as the building blocks of the universe or the “ordered arrangement of things.” The word “dissolved” is literally translated from Greek as “unloosed.”
This suggests that it is God actively holding the universe together and that if He were to relax His grip every atom in the universe would split from every other atom and the universe would destroyed by fire. This is just as physics teaches, yet physics holds that the binding of atoms together is from some as yet unknown, undiscovered force.
We know it is Jesus Christ.
The other dimensions spoken of by CERN’s Director General and its Research Director, are, I believe the spiritual realm. The Bible is specific about this realm. It is a place of battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil, and they are immensely dangerous places for human beings to be.
In 2 Kings 6, Elisha’s servant rose from his tent to discover himself and his master surrounded by a massive, hostile human army. After running in panic to Elisha, his master said confidently, “Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them” (2 Kings 6:16).
He then prayed for his servants spiritual eyes to be opened and the servant saw that “…the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha”(2 Kings 6:17). These forces were God’s forces of war.
In the book of Daniel the Prince of Persia, a high ranking fallen angel, was powerful enough that he was able to withhold God’s special envoy to Daniel for twenty one days, until the warrior Archangel Michael came to his aid, allowing him to progress with his message.
The apostle Paul himself was “caught up” into the third heaven, the spiritual realm and describes it in 2 Corinthians 12:2-4. Here Paul was permitted to see paradise but was not allowed to describe what he saw there.
John, the apostle of Jesus Christ “ascended” into heaven in Revelation 4:1. His experiences form the basis of the entire book of Revelation. It is interesting that Revelation describes the process of John going up to Heaven after “a door was opened.”
Elijah, the great Hebrew prophet of old was taken up into heaven in a “whirlwind” in 2 Kings 2:11.
Jesus tells us that individual angels are assigned to protect our individual children, “Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 18:10). Invisible angels from another dimension empowered to protect little ones, in this realm and the spiritual one which we cannot see.
The Bible tells us that toward the time of the end the spiritual battle in these heavenly places will increase in intensity. We are perhaps already seeing the encroachment of this spiritual realm into our own universe today.
The spiritual realm is real and the spiritual warfare that takes place there is real, something that is an anathema to these scientists. Could it be possible that these scientists inadvertently end up opening a portal or a door not to another dimension, but into the spiritual realm, perhaps even to the Bottomless Pit or the Abyss itself?
People today have become so desensitized to the supernatural that they have forgotten just how dangerous it can be. For most of humanity the existence of another realm, a spiritual realm is a mere fantasy. However, the Bible tells us it is real, more real than we can know.
Paul tells us that it is actually in this world that we fail to see things as they truly are, that the spiritual world is the real world, “…for now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known” (1Corinthians 13:12).
CERN has rebuilt the Large Hadron Collider to double the power of its 2009 version. It is due to come fully back online in September 2015. Coincidentally this falls exactly at the time of the biblical Feast of Trumpets.
The scientists at CERN seem to have no real understanding of how utterly dangerous the Large Hadron Collider really could be.
Revelation 9:1 -11
“The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth.
They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes. During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.
The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. They had tails with stingers, like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon [that is, Destroyer].”
“Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss…” (Revelation 11:7a).
