Consequences of Eleven Dimensions

Over the last several posts, we have gone over the theory of eleven dimensions and what that means from a science perspective and how each relate to a spiritual perspective. It’s not a one or the other, but how the scientific view can relate and enhance our belief in the spiritual perspective.

One’s world view makes all the difference. Science tells us the what but not the how or why. Science points to the truth but is not the truth. As we stated earlier, science can only point to the truth but can never be truth (see the post, Our Worldview is Important). If the Bible and Science are not supportive of each other, then we need to look for another explanation.

As we have gone through the meaning of each dimension and what that means from a spiritual perspective, we have seen how what we know about these dimensions support many of our biblical understandings. Let’s explore a few more biblical beliefs and how our understanding of dimensions support these as well.

What about the Rapture? This is a phenomenon we expect to occur at some point in our future based upon two main scripture references (1Co 15:50-58; 1Th 4:13-18). At the Rapture, those in the 8th dimension come to 4th dimension to make their glorified bodies like that of their bridegroom—their Messiah, Jesus Christ. It seems the physical body is needed for the making of one’s glorified body. This may be because we are made in the image of God and this was the original way God made us. Our physical bodies are then upgraded to be like Christ’s glorified body and likely receive back the body of light like what Adam and Eve had when they were in the Garden of Eden. Then the marriage supper of the lamb (Rv 19:9) will occur in the 8th dimension.

After the Tribulation and the return of Christ, the 4th dimension is recreated in a manner similar to that of the 8th dimension. Since the 4th dimension cannot completely comprehend the 8th dimension, we’ll see and experience some things very differently. This is the time that Christ reigns on Earth for 1,000 years (Rv 20:1-3), which many call the Millennium.

After the Millennium, nothing will likely exist below the 7th dimension because those are tied to time which will no longer exist. It could be that the 7th dimension of Sheol and Tartarus now becomes the Lake of Fire (Rv 20:14). Perhaps the failure of gluons annihilates all the 4th dimension which destroys our current Earth and heaven (2Pt 3:10; Rv 21:1; see the post When God Removes His Fingerprint). All will then be made new as we experience and explore all the wonders of God forever.

So, we see that science and scripture can go hand in hand. Science gives us the what these dimensions can tell us, but scripture gives us the how and why these things are used by God in our lives and how we can prepare for the consequences of their existence. I hope this short series has been helpful to you and show you how God is the author of science as well as his plans for us both physically and spiritually.
