When we think about the forces that shape our world, we often assume that the supernatural realm is one of absolute certainty. We picture divine interventions as smooth, flawless occurrences that align perfectly with God’s will and purpose. After all, God is perfect in every way, and His actions are always carried out in accordance with His flawless nature. But what if the supernatural disturbances we are witnessing today, especially in relation to things like changes in scripture or unexplained shifts in reality, are not from God at all—but from imperfect, created beings?
Let’s step back and explore the idea that if dark forces are responsible for these changes, they could very well leave behind traces of imperfection, or “residues,” in their wake. And, if we pay very close attention, these inconsistencies may be our best clue to understanding what is really happening.
The Perfection of God
First and foremost, it’s important to understand the fundamental difference between God and His created beings. God is not a being who is limited by time, space, or imperfection. Everything He does is an act of a perfect and most certaily sovereign will. From the creation of the universe to the preservation of His Word, God’s actions reflect His nature: complete, flawless, and infinitely wise.
Think about it this way: When God does something, He does it right. There are no mistakes, no errors, no missteps. His Word, for instance, is perfect. If God intervenes in our world, whether through miracles, prophecies, or even the preservation of His Word, it’s going to be without flaw. The nature of God demands perfection, and He can’t and won’t do anything that’s less than perfect.
This principle also applies to anything that originates from Him. When He writes through the prophets, when He moves in the hearts of believers, when He inspires holy scripture, He does so with absolute precision and clarity. There are no contradictions, no incomplete thoughts, no changes in meaning. What He has spoken is eternal, unchanging, and flawless.
The Imperfection of Created Beings
Now, let’s compare this concept with created beings. While angels, demons, and all created entities have incredible power, wisdom, and abilities, they are still limited by their nature. Unlike God, they are not perfect (complete), nor do they possess the same divine abilities.
Take Satan and the antichrist as example. Both of these beings were created by God but chose rebellion. Their very existence is marked by imperfection because they have chosen to oppose God’s perfect will. Because of this rebellion, they are flawed by nature, and their actions can never reflect the divine perfection that God embodies.
Now, if Satan and his forces were attempting to meddle in the natural world or alter the course of human history, it’s logical to assume that they would not be able to execute their plans with the same flawless precision that God does. In fact, their efforts would likely reveal flaws, inconsistencies, and imperfections, or traces that point to the imperfection of their actions.
This brings us to a critical point in understanding the supernatural changes that some believe, including myself, are occurring: If dark forces are responsible for these disturbances, they could very well leave behind “residues” of imperfection. These residues would serve as evidence that something is wrong, something is not quite right with the world.
The Concept of “Residue”
The idea of “residue” is the key to understanding how imperfection might show itself in the supernatural realm. Just like when a messy painter works on a canvas, there are often bits of paint splatter or smudges that don’t fit with the final masterpiece, dark forces could leave behind signs of their handiwork that don’t quite line up with the original design. These imperfections, while subtle, may be our clue to recognizing the presence of something supernatural but flawed.
In the case of scripture changes, for example, if dark forces were altering the text of the Bible, they might not be able to erase every trace of the original version. There could be phrases that don’t make sense, or contradictions within the text that weren’t part of the original design. Words might be shifted, meanings might be skewed, but there could still be traces, residues, that show us what was once there.
Take for instance the phrase “the lion shall lie down with the lamb.” This is a well-known image from the Bible, one that many people, including famous theologians like Charles Spurgeon, remember and reference. But some have noticed that this phrase is no longer present in modern translations, even though they remember it clearly from earlier versions of the Bible. Could this be an example of residue, an imperfection left behind by dark forces who altered the text, but didn’t quite manage to remove all evidence of what was originally there?
Just like how a painter may not be able to clean up every smudge on their canvas, the forces behind these supernatural changes might not be able to completely erase the traces of the original scripture. This could leave us with inconsistencies that point to the intervention of something supernatural, but imperfect.
The Nature of Spiritual Deception
When we look at the world around us, especially in the context of supernatural occurrences or disturbances, it’s easy to be deceived by appearances. After all, the dark forces behind these changes are masters of deception. Their goal is to confuse, mislead, and distort the truth. They want us to believe in a reality that’s not quite what it seems.
But here’s the thing: Deception, no matter how powerful, still has flaws. Lies, when repeated enough, can appear convincing at first. But the truth is like a light shining through the cracks. The more we examine the world and pay attention to the details, the more we can spot the lies and inconsistencies.
In the case of supernatural changes to scripture, these flaws or residues could serve as a safeguard for those who are vigilant. While dark forces may try to hide the truth, their imperfection might make their plans unravel. These inconsistencies could act as a warning, alerting us to the fact that something is amiss.
The Imperfection of Darkness
In the end, the idea that dark forces could leave behind traces of their imperfections is a powerful one. If Satan, the antichrist, and their minions are behind these supernatural changes, their inherent imperfection means that their actions can never be flawless. There will always be signs, residues, and inconsistencies that reveal the truth.
As believers, we can take comfort in knowing that God’s sovereign will extends even over the forces of darkness. While they may try to obscure the truth, they cannot completely hide it. By paying attention to the residue they leave behind, we can better understand the true nature of the changes happening around us. And, ultimately, we can rest assured that God’s Word remains perfect and unchanging, no matter how hard the forces of darkness try to distort it.
