Supernatural Encounters: DIVINE and DEMONIC: Dreams, Visions, and Prophecy Past and Present - Paperback

What do Israel-at-war, the Bible, the occult, and the music of Taylor Swift have in common? All involve supernatural encounters. They permeate the Bible, history, and contemporary life. Many are divine, good, and godly; others are demonic, evil, and satanic.

In part 1, James David De Young creates a short story of what occurred when Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023.

In part 2, James B. De Young highlights supernatural encounters in the Bible and in history: God's creating Adam and Eve; Satan's tempting them to disobey God; God's defeat of the gods of Egypt at the Exodus; King Saul and the witch of Endor; the raptures of Enoch and Elijah; Balaam's talking donkey; Jesus's casting out multiple demons and His descent to Hell; the Holy Spirit's coming on Pentecost; Stephen's vision of Jesus in heaven; Paul's and John's visits to heaven; and many more.

In part 3, Tracie Pullen affirms how Jesus delivered her from the darkness of the occult and demonism and that He can do this for others. She also discovered her spiritual gifts of discernment and prophecy by dreams and visions. For years Tracie had admired Taylor Swift, but now she sees Swift's music as descending into occultic darkness and demonism.
