Throughout the international 2007 convention of the National Religious Broadcasters, in Orlando, Florida, Angelic Orbs appeared on the top of Greiner bronze sculptures, which bring honor and glory to Jesus. A faint Orb also appears to be over the cloud base of "The Coming King®" 1/2 Life-size bronze sculpture.

PUBLIC RIDICULE

Unfortunately, there are many “Christian” websites that continue to slander genuine followers of Christ, for their supernatural testimonies. These self-appointed religious experts believe they are doing God a favor, (like the Apostle Paul, before his “road to Damascus experience”) by attacking fellow Christians.  Great men and women of God are currently being publicly belittled on the Internet, radio, TV and in books, simply because of their miraculous testimonies of God’s power in their lives.  Satan hates miracle testimonies, because they carry God’s anointing to reach the lost (Re 12:11). 

Vicious and slanderous attacks have come against many of God’s most anointed servants, such as Kathryn Kuhlman, Kenneth Hagin, John Wimber, Ruth Ward Heflin, Bob Shattles, John Osteen, Pat Robertson, Oral Roberts, Mahesh Chavda, T.L. Lowery and Silvania Machado, to name just a few.  However, despite the vicious personal attacks against these Christians, they “turned the other cheek” and continued to share Jesus and their personal testimonies for His glory. 

COUNTERFIET MIRACLES

 Yes, there are naturally explained, and satanic, counterfeit “miracles” in the world.    Believers are commanded to be wise and discerning in this regard.  Not every miracle claimed by a Believer, or non-believer, is really a supernatural miracle.  Some have natural explanations.  Jesus warned us specifically against false prophets and false miracles (1 Jo 4: 1 - 3).  However, realize that counterfeits exist only when the genuine exists, at the same time. 

 God expects us to determine the truth by doing the “Jesus Test”, as prescribed in the Bible.  We should always “Test the Fruit (Gal 5: 22), and the Root” (Ro 15: 12 & Jn 15: 5), to determine if a miracle, or person is from God.

 The Bible indicates the God clearly intends for His children to be involved, and aware of the supernatural realm.  We are to carry and use the supernatural power and authority Christ has given us (Ac 1: 8, Lk 10: 19).  We are told to do the “works” Jesus did (Jn 14: 12). The Lord commands us to be engaged in supernatural warfare, which is conducted through prayer, fasting, deliverance.  We are to use the spiritual authority He has given us, as His sons and daughters, to defeat the works of Satan.

TWO SUPERNATURAL SOURCES

The Bible clearly teaches there are only two sources of real supernatural power in the universe - God and Satan.  And, there is no contest here. God is the Creator and Satan is a created being.  God is infinitely stronger than Satan.  In fact, Jesus already won the war at the cross.  However, in these “last days”, before the Rapture and the Return of Christ, Satan is still doing everything he can, to lead people away from the real Jesus, and destroy them.  This can be clearly seen in the destruction of the family, the un-born and in the “culture war.”  Satan’s involvement is also obvious in the international war against Islamic terrorists. 

Satan is clever however.  He prefers to hide his counterfeit doctrines and his presence, when possible.  His first scheme, in our “age of enlightenment”, is simply to convince people there is no God, no Heaven, no Satan, no Hell, no supernatural world, and therefore, no need for a Savior or His morality.

Satan’s next scheme, if a person won’t believe the “God is dead” lie, is to lead them into many of the false religions and cults available. Satan’s main objective is to keep people from meeting and receiving the real Jesus, the only means to Salvation.  As a result, Satan has encouraged people to create literally thousands of counterfeit belief systems, of their own design.  He doesn't require them to join a Satanist group. Satan is more than happy to animate the false gods of any false belief system, to deceive as many people as possible.  Remember, the thing all false belief systems have in common, is that they all deny the unique deity of Jesus Christ, the true Messiah and the only Savior of the world.  Satan will use counterfeit prophets, signs, wonders, gifts and miracles to reinforce belief in these false systems.

Unfortunately, many Christians put more faith in Satan’s power to deceive, than in the Holy Spirit’s power to protect and lead His children.  As a result, Satan’s strategy has kept many “Born-again” Christians away from, and ignorant of God’s power, the real signs, wonders, Gifts and miracles.  This is why much of today’s Christian church doesn’t experience any miracles, or manifestations of the Holy Spirit.  It is ignorant of the Believer’s authority and as a result is weak, powerless and consumed with the “traditions of men.”

THE CHRISTIAN ANSWER TO ORBS

Finally, I would like to answer the question: “What are the Orbs?” It is my personal opinion, that some of the Orbs being photographed today may indeed be supernatural in origin.  If they are supernatural, they are from God, not Satan.  I think these Orbs are the type of Angels described by the Prophet Ezekiel thousands of years ago.  I believe these genuine, supernatural Orbs are the predicted “signs and wonders”, just like the “Shekinah Glory” Dust.  These are “last days” signs that prove the Scripture is true and the end of time and the return of Jesus Christ are near.

Since the Orbs are now becoming visible in our generation, God must have a reason.  This is a most interesting question to me: “Why now?”  Many Christians believe the Bible prophecies that predict, the generation that is alive when Israel was “reborn” as a nation (which occurred in 1948) would not die, before seeing the “End of the Age.” If this prophecy is being interpreted correctly, then the end could come any time in the next 25 years.  The Bible also predicts during this “last days” period, that there would be many supernatural, documented miracles happening around the world, both genuine and counterfeit.  I think the Rapture and the return of Christ is near.

EYES OR ANGELS?

Based on Scripture, I believe the round Orbs are the Angels described by Ezekiel and are part of the “Heavenly Hosts” (Ps 148: 2).  They are either God’s “Angels”, or His “Eyes”, or both.  Scripture is clear that Angels are God’s messengers, “created beings” that are sent to help Believers.

According to the Bible, Angels are invisible most of the time.  However, they can take on various forms, including human (Heb 13: 2).  It is important to remember, they are never to be worshipped (Col 2: 18). If you want an Angel to do something for you, don’t ask the Angel, or a dead “saint”, ask the Holy Spirit of God, in the name of Jesus.  They obey Him alone.  To communicate in any way, with any other spirits, or even dead Christians is forbidden by the clear teaching of Scripture.  Otherwise, you may find yourself communicating with a demon, which is pretending to be an Angel, a dead Christian, “Uncle Bill”, or some an ancient warrior or princess!

God’s Angels can take on the form of Orbs, as described by the Prophet Ezekiel, since God is light and they are His servants.   The Angels probably travel everywhere at the speed of light. However, throughout the Bible, in both the Old and New Testaments, the “Eyes of the Lord” are also mentioned repeatedly and may be different that tradition Angels.  These “Eyes” could actually be a unique type of Heavenly beings.

It is my personal opinion that the genuine, “supernatural” Orbs being observed today may actually be the “Living Creatures” described thousands of years ago by the Jewish Prophet, Ezekiel.  In Ezekiel 1: 15 – 21, the Scripture describes “Heavenly Hosts” that appear like wheels, wheels that don’t turn, yet can go in any direction, from the ground to the air.  According to Ezekiel, these wheels at times intersect with each other.  These spiritual creatures have four rings, or “rims” that make them appear as if there are wheels within wheels.  Finally, the Prophet describes these living creatures as having “eyes all around”, and some with “faces.”

My wife, Sherry and I were astonished when we first viewed the magnified details of the Orbs I photographed in our church.  In some of the photographs, there appeared to be a delicate internal structure showing four rings, or “rims.”  We were also stunned to see that these rims were covered with features that looked like eyes!  Therefore, it is my humble opinion that the real, supernatural Orbs being photographed today may actually be the “living creatures” described by the ancient Jewish prophet, Ezekiel. Wow!

FALLEN ANGELS OR DEMONS?

Proverbs 15: 3 states: “The eyes of the Lord are in every place, watching the evil and the good.”  This tells me that the Orbs appearing in the photographs of non-believers are either naturally explained, or they are God’s Angels, or His Eyes.  They are positioned there by the Holy Spirit, to keep an “eye” on the actions of non-believers! 

I personally don’t think any of these spiritual Orbs are “fallen Angels”, or demons.  The Bible says demons strive to enter and dwell in “living” beings.  They prefer to demonize people they can influence and manipulate.  According to Scripture, they do not like wandering around in “dry places”, without a “host” body.  This is why demons will sometimes enter animals (Mk 5: 11).  The Scripture indicates there are fallen Angels in high places, that have authority of physical territories (Eph 6: 12).  This is why evil is often repeated throughout history, in the same places.

However, always remember that demons and fallen Angels are not stronger than God and His Angels.  They do not have the power to invade a Christian church service, where the people of God are praising and worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ, in spirit and truth.  I believer the Orbs photographed in Christian settings with Believers are from God.  Orbs in non-believer settings are either explainable “natural” Orbs, or
Max was able to take a rare photograph at the NRB convention of an Orb partially hidden behind an object, in this case a hanging banner. Photos like this disprove the "Tiny Dust Particle" argument.
This rare photograph shows an Orb passing through a wall. Notice the left edge of the Orb at the top.
Some Angelic Orbs, which are photographed at the exact right focal length, reveal a delicate inner structure, when enlarged. Four rings or rims, and multiple "eyes" are visible. These circles of light fit the Biblical description of the "living creatures" that travel with the Holy Spirit of God, according to the ancient Jewish Prophet, Ezekiel. (Ezkl: 15-22)
Max visited River Church in Tampa, Florida on February 27, 2007. The fellowship is pastored by international Evangelist, Rodney Howard-Browne.
Dr. Luis Palau was repeatedly photographed with Angel Orbs over him as he presented the Gospel of Jesus Christ at Park Cities Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas on
June 29, 2007.
Dr. D. James Kennedy, founder of Coral Ridge Ministries, and Pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, hosted the "Reclaiming America" conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The conference was held for Christians determined to fight the "culture war". Angelic Orbs were present at all the meetings, including when TV commentator, Anne Coulter, spoke to the gathering on March 3, 2007.
CONCLUSION

In conclusion, Christians need not fear the Orbs, because they are either a naturally explained photographic phenomenon, or they are God’s Angels.  In either case, they must not be worshipped, as the New Age crowd is doing.  God is watching our response to this phenomenon.

If indeed, the Orbs are real Angels, we can observe, appreciate, and thank God for them, as we would for any other miracle, or supernatural manifestation of God.  However, we must always remember to seek the “Miracle worker”, not just His miracles.  If we seek Jesus Christ first, the Holy Spirit promises to work miracles for us, and manifest His presence. 

Remember, “Signs and wonders are supposed to follow Believers” (Act 2: 19), not the other way around!  Just love God with all your heart and seek Jesus! Miracles, signs and wonders will follow!  He loves to manifest His presence to His children, if they are willing to come boldly to His throne!

I suggest you do what our family does.  Use God’s miracles, signs and wonders to draw people to the Savior. Then, lead them to Christ!  After all, this was the primary strategy of Jesus and His disciples, in New Testament days.  The supernatural has always attracted the attention of the world.  God knows it.  Use this fascination with the supernatural to point people to Jesus.  The world is looking for the real God, who is alive and still working supernatural miracles.  Introduce them to your Jesus!

We live in an amazing time! I don’t want to miss out on anything God is doing in our day.  How about you?  It all starts with knowing Jesus personally.  Click here if you would like to become a follower of Jesus Christ! 


DO YOUR OWN ORB EXPERIMENT

If you would like to photograph one of these Orbs, do your own experiment.  Get a camera and set it so the flash will operate.  Cameras with the flash located closer to the lens seem to be better tools for photographing both “natural” and “supernatural” Orbs.  However, any flash camera will work. 

Take some flash pictures and see what you find.  Then, pray and ask God, in the name of Jesus Christ, if He will let you photograph one of these Angelic Orbs.  You will be amazed!  Good locations to find real Orbs include Christian church services, Christian functions and around children. Remember; always get the permission of the leadership, before shooting pictures in a church.

If you get some good photos, please email them to us with your story.  Send them to: maxart@hctc.net.  We may post them on our website, with your permission.  And always, remember to thank God, when He works any miracle, or manifests His presence for you.  Give Jesus Christ the glory and the praise!
