All right, welcome back everybody to Unsealed, the official podcast of Wings of the Eagle. Pastor Mantei is me. I'm calling Christopher. Chris, if you want. No problem. I hope you're doing well today. Please see the description of wherever you're watching this, be it on YouTube, Facebook, or X, about some links that you're going to want to check out, because what we're doing today is just a quick little microscopic smidgen of what is covered in a new course. Hey, brother. Boy, that shows up really... I'm sorry, I'm trying out a new feature here where the comments just automatically show up. I'm not sure if it shows up for you all there, but anyway. To you, it's a good evening, sir, and I thank you. Just turned afternoon where I'm at, the east coast of the USA, but God bless you in India. And thankfully, it doesn't look like you're fighting pakistan at the moment so praise god for that look at you that's pretty great dude that's awesome okay praise the lord uh we're going to talk about something that um a lot of christians know by heart the the phrase anyways and um think we really think through what it means uh honestly uh especially um when it comes to witnessing things that we don't understand I'm hearing a giant helicopter over my house right now so uh hopefully it's not all black and uh we still have connection here in a minute I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna track it right now with my flight radar app and see who it is If it's not on the app, that means it's either military with their transponder off. I don't know if you can hear that over the microphone. Probably can't. I've got nothing. So it's either illegal completely or military with their things off. Anyways. Yeah, it's in helicopter. You can't hear it? All right, cool. Anyway, so this is a little teeny tiny smidgen of what we cover in the brand new course that we've just released called Angels, Demons, and UFOs. And this is the smidgen. I get to bring that up in a second. I really highly recommend for several reasons. Number one, it supports what Wings of the Eagle does.

OK, you have to register and take the course yourself. It's self-paced. You don't have to show a better date or time. It's totally on demand. Go through it a thousand times if you want. Pause, rewind. There's audio and video elements. There's feedback you can give. Interaction with fellow students is an option, like all that's cool stuff. So please go register for that. The link again directly is below, or you can go to the, into the ego.com slash courses. And it's the first one listed on the page. All right. Now this is from that. So what is this error? Prince of the power of the air. So speaking of our friend is back circling somewhere out there. Um, especially with the UFO topic or anything that's, uh, in the supernatural realm, you know, in the unexplainable high strangeness, uh, whatever you want to call it area. Um, And I get it, but a lot of folks run to this Ephesians two, two as, as the reason why, like, well, this is just because Satan is the prince of the power of the air. Therefore must be him. Or something like that. Well, we do a real, real quality dive and scriptural breakdown. No opinions. No outside sources. Just what does the text actually say? And you wouldn't believe. Maybe you would believe. It's hard to believe for me to say how. And when I say ignorant, I mean in the nicest literal way. Like you just don't know it. We just don't know it. um we just are not aware we are we have ignorance about what the text even says forget about what the meaning uh of what paul says when he says the prince of the power of the air the the context and the text is crystal crystal clear there's no ambiguity whatsoever when he says that he's not referring to the sky Now, that might sound silly to say it, and it does sound kind of silly to say it, but that's what people, most Christians believe. Folks, you know, in previous generations were nervous to go on airplanes or didn't think we would ever get beyond our atmosphere as in a rocket, you know, to go to the moon or to explore another, our solar system or whatever. They thought that wasn't going to be possible because Satan controlled it. Really? Okay. He doesn't. Have you ever been on an airplane? All right, he's not in control up there. There's nothing different about the sky than there is the air I'm breathing now, other than there's less oxygen the farther up you go. Right. And obviously, when you get outside of the atmosphere, you have this outside the planet. You have other things. You have other bodies like the sun and the moon or the planets, their moons, stars and everything else that's out there. Well, I'm here to tell you that what Paul is saying. And again, please get the course for the full breakdown of this. OK, this is not going to be an in-depth thing today. But this chart is very, very helpful. The Apostle Paul in another place said he was taken to the third heaven one day. This is some point after his conversion, after his revelation of Jesus on the road to Damascus. He was persecuting the Christian church, but then Jesus himself, after he was in heaven, came to Paul directly and said, stop this. I got some work for you to do. You say you serve the God of Israel. Well, that's me. Paraphrasing. And so Paul would say, I was taken to the third heaven, or he said someone was, referring to himself. What's the third heaven? What does that mean? That means there's more than one heaven? Yes, that's what it means. That's an Old Testament concept all the way back. In fact, Genesis one, one. The heavens and the earth. God created the heavens, plural, and the earth. So there's more than one. And Paul says the third one was where God was. And he couldn't speak of it because he just wasn't allowed. Too glorious and whatever. Okay, whatever. Well, that means if there's a third, that means there's a second and a first. don't just jump right to three uh there's there's something in number one number two so I think the the actually best way to look at it and the correct biblical way is to say the first heaven number one is what you can see and interact with and breathe and fly around in the the air is not the air you breathe first heaven is the natural atmosphere of the earth itself is the air that you breathe that you walk in right that you if you jump you're near uh if if you're on an airplane or helicopters buzzing people's houses or whatever uh or up to space this is all the first heaven if you can go there if you're just can travel That's the first heaven. It's not the third because God ain't there. I mean, right? In a way. Okay. Okay. I get it. But you can't go visit God's throne just by getting on a space shuttle or a rocket. It's not how it works. Instead, what you could think of it is as it's, whether you think of it as a higher dimension or an envelope or whatever, something larger or smaller, surrounding the actual natural atmosphere, there are two other heavens. The second heaven is where Satan can operate. First of all, we know Satan's in heaven. If you don't, you really got some studying to do, and I recommend... Well, a lot, but Revelation twelve study that we've done, flee to the mountains book and course, you need that information. But he's there and there's other things there. Beings, OK, however, when he says prince of that power, of that air, that area in Ephesians two, we're told exactly what that means. It's not a physical location. or it's not something that you're going to run into. It's the spirit in the heart. Again, get the course called Angels, Demons, and UFOs to get the full breakdown of this scripture. But when it says the air, it's talking about this second heaven, this spiritual atmosphere of the world, the one where the authority that the enemy has is because humans, mankind, Adam and Eve, gave it up to him. in the Garden of Eden. So that's the kingdom of the world. That's the kingdom of Satan, the kingdom of darkness. However you want to phrase it, and the Bible puts it several ways, but if you are part of that, you are an enemy of God because you don't believe, and you're acting in sin, and you're living sinfully, and you're part of that team. That's the error. If you're disobedient to God, if you're opposed to God, if you're in your unsaved state, if you haven't been born again, you are part of that kingdom, and he has power over you. The power specifically is of death. So there is some connection between your physical death and that air locale, if you will, that authority that he has is, again, Adam and Eve. What happens? He disobeyed. They disobeyed God, and They died, right? They weren't going to die before that. So the power of death is from Satan, the enemy. Hebrews says that. Other places say that, right? So this is what this is. So if we're looking at UFOs, for example, we can't just say, oh, well, that's the power of the air for you. That's why they can fly up there and do whatever they want and fly as fast as they want and do incredible maneuvers and whatever. be remotely controlled or piloted or not or whatever like that's silly if you if it's in the sky it's not in that air that paul's talking about that's not satan's domain satan doesn't control the air he doesn't control the air waves for that say to said to like radio or you know communication wi-fi or something like that that's not the air electromagnetic waves again are not the uh the second heaven this dimension the spirit um of the world that again has to do with hearts and spirits and stuff like that not not our day to day. Oh, we can see in here and touch and if there are physical things flying in our skies, and underwater and in the ground, which we know they are, because we can pick them up on radar, for example. So that's that, then it's not this. All right, I just wanted to throw it out there as a mini aspect of an example, a microcosm of what exactly is the purpose of you need to take this class because. Ninety plus percent of the people I've ever run into have said something along the lines of, well, Satan is the prince of the power of the air, therefore, and has something to do with your physical sky or just things you don't get. That's not cool. That's not what it says. That's not what we should be operating on in. So take it. OK, go below. Click the link right now. Take the class. Don't put it off. Don't think you don't need it. There's more. This is only one small example. There's half a dozen of these. And it's worth your while. Jesus is currently in the third heaven, right? Does he reside at the top of third heaven or in the highest heaven? The third heaven is the highest heaven. As the chart here, I believe, correctly says. Third heaven, heaven itself, the throne of God. That's the heaven of heavens is one way the Bible puts it, or the highest heaven. Okay? Yes. That's where God is. Jesus, Father, Holy Spirit, the loyal angels, that whole scene in Revelation where John goes, any time you see a throne room, you know, scene with God seated there, then not on the earth, then that's where it is. Okay? yep yep and obviously this would also be where the saved souls go if you're a believer and if you die when you die um because we're all under the curse until the lord comes back um You get to be with Jesus in that heaven of heavens. Revelation six tells us that. Revelation seven tells us that. And absent from the body, present with the Lord, like Paul would say, or even, what is it, Ecclesiastes six? Once your body dies, your spirit returns to the God who gave it to you. So if it's returning to God, then it's to God. But yes, saved people go there. The lost, that's a different situation. There's another location, right? The Lazarus and rich man story by Jesus. We know that there's a different location. Call it whatever you want. Okay, right. So that's the third heaven. The heaven of heaven is the highest heaven. The Lord is there. The Lord Jesus, yes, Father, Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit's here. He's everywhere. The angels, all that, the dead saints. Okay, that's correct. All right, any other questions, folks? so that's it guys that's the that's the piece I want to leave here for you this little breadcrumb and again it's I don't know whether it's I mean it's good if you learn the truth of something it's good but it's also kind of disappointing and or um frustrating if uh as a christian or as a teacher you see so many mistakes being made by your fellow students your fellow uh believers your your brothers and sisters are in such we are in such error um about this whole topic about what satan can do what the enemy can do what's demons what's fallen angels um what their authority is what what their actions are right now what they're not it's not that hard to get to the bottom of but we just have to as always consult the bible right that's our anchor that's where we get the facts So stay there, stick with it, and take the course. Okay, that's my advice to you. You're going to find way more information than just the air. So finally, let's summarize by saying the air in Ephesians two, two is not where the Satan, where the print of the power of the air is addressed. He is not talking about the atmosphere. He's not talking about your sky. He's not talking about what you're breathing. He's not even talking about space, you know, where the sun and moon and the stars are. None of that is the air that the enemy has any authority in. That air is a spiritual condition around the spirit of the age, the spirit of the world. Okay? Right. All right.
