Spiritual warfare is nothing new for Christians.
The Bible discusses it at length, and just how important it is for a Christian to engage in it with the proper edification in place (Eph. 6:11-18).
Using wisdom in discernment of situations is also instructed throughout the Word of God.
On a recent interview on The Eric Metaxas Radio Show, host Eric Metaxas brought up an interesting statement that his guest, political activist and strategist Roger Stone, said to him prior to the show.
“I think that… a portal, a demonic portal, opened above the White House around the time that the Biden’s moved in,” Stone said. “This was brought to my attention by a Christian who lives in north Florida who sent me a bunch of documents and also a bunch of notations from the Bible about portals.”
Metaxas responded to this revelation of Stones with skepticism, and rightfully so.
“Well… I mean you should start out by being skeptical. That sounds… that sounds insane to me.”
Stone continued with the discussion, and just what exactly convinced him that this was no far-fetched hoax, but a real occurrence in the world:
“So, I was skeptical about it, but I looked at the photos. Also, there’s a live cam where you can actually see in real-time and there does appear to be something above the White House… At first you say, ‘Oh, maybe it’s a reflection. Maybe it’s an aerostat balloon. Maybe there’s a logical [explanation.]'”
Having his curiosity piqued, Stone reached out to a friend who works as a police officer in Virginia to investigate the situation.
“He called me back about two-and-a-half hours later and said, ‘You’re not going to believe this, but there’s definitely something there. Other people were there photographing it,'” Stone claimed.
Metaxas clarified that this original occurrence happened approximately eight months ago and confirmed with Stone that he believes it is still there.
And Metaxas was correct at the beginning of the segment, when people bring up the supernatural it causes a lot of people to hold up their hands and say, “Well, I don’t know, I don’t know.” It is a difficult subject to approach, for many, when things that are unseen and take place within another realm than the physical is, for many, the stuff of fiction.
Yet the Bible addresses the spiritual realm at great length, and the impact it has on the physical and vice versa.
In the book of Daniel chapter 10, the angel Gabriel appeared to Daniel and said he had been busy fighting the spirit of Persia, but that Daniel’s prayers were heard from the moment they were uttered.
In the New Testament, Paul explains in Ephesians 6:12 that a Christian’s fight is specifically against a spiritual enemy, not a physical one, “For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
Considering the anti-biblical and anti-God stance the current administration has taken, it is not outside the realm of possibility that what Mr. Stone believes is true. But Christians should always use wisdom and discernment in any situation of the supernatural. Too many times have charlatans used Scripture in the wrong context for their own personal gain. God does open people’s spiritual eyes to the supernatural, and being skeptical without being dismissive is always a good practice to test the statement against the Word of God. {eoa}
