"Job 38:35. Can you send forth lightning, that they may go and say to you, 'Here we are'? That verse talks about the lightning that God commands. And yet, in that verse, I saw Satan fall like lightning." Lowengren reflected.

"That verse implies that it is the Lord who commands and controls the lightning. And that is being repeated all over Scripture. The Bible repeats again and again how God commands the lightning and wields it. Lennox here, whose name is taken from the statements repeated in Revelation, Flashes of Lightning, is a type of prophecy that foreshadows the real Flashes of Lightning."

"And now, we see something that is 'like' lightning. Luke 10:17 and 18... The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, 'Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!' And he said to them, 'I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.' So it wasn't just a metaphor..." Seeker was in deep thought.

"It actually explains a lot about our enemy. But that isn't why Satan is 'like lightning'. But rather, it's what angels look like. High-ranking angels, presumable those that are the same caliber as Satan's former position. If the Nefilus Beast that Nimrod met back then was a high-ranking angel of power, then he would also be adorned as lightning. Recite Matthew 28 verses 2 and 3." Harker requested.

"Matthew 28? That chapter talks about the resurrection of Christ. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing was white as snow... Wait a minute...!" Seeker's eyes widened.

"If angels are described as appearing like lightning, then this is not just a metaphor but a statement of their very composition! Throughout the Scriptures, divine appearances are often accompanied by elements beyond human comprehension—fire, lightning, and unapproachable light. Moses saw the burning bush that was aflame yet not consumed, and the Israelites trembled at Mount Sinai where thunder and lightning filled the heavens. These were not merely dramatic effects, but manifestations of a realm beyond the three-dimensional. If angels are truly composed of something akin to lightning, then their descent into our world might distort reality itself, bending dimensions and altering time and space, just as Marrho does now. This means that when Satan fell like lightning, it was not just about speed or spectacle, but a fundamental severance from the divine command over energy and existence itself."

"You get it now, don't you? This lightning body could be seen as necessary. This may as well be one part of cultivation to become an immortal! Even in Chinese lore about immortals and cultivators, lightning has always been seen that can purify their bodies towards immortality! Tribulation lightning and whatnot were talked about. In the bible, we see angels manifesting a body that looks like lightning. And their arrival will often bring about earthquakes as Matthew 28 implies."

"Earthquakes... Flashes of Lighting and Peals of Thunder..." Seeker thought about the two elements that are being shown to be together in the book of Revelation.

"The verse says 'There was a great earthquake, FOR an angel of the Lord descended from heaven.' That is exactly what we realized. Marrho is trying to recreate the body of an Angel. The Nefilus beast that fell, must have a rank similar to the angel that appeared before Mary. But since they rebelled, the taint of sin must have changed their very being!"

"Sin in the biblical narrative is more than mere disobedience; it is a corruption of the original design. When Lucifer rebelled, his very essence shifted from divine radiance to something twisted, something that sought to replace rather than reflect. The Apostle Paul wrote that Satan can masquerade as an angel of light, but that light is deceptive, lacking the true nature of holiness. If the Nefilus Beast that Nimrod encountered was once a high-ranking celestial being, its fall would have fundamentally altered its essence. It is no longer the bearer of God's light but a counterfeit, mimicking the divine form while lacking divine authority." Seeker continued his monologue.

"We could write an entire sermon about this. This explains why Marrho's lightning, though awe-inspiring, does not carry the same power as Lennox's. One is derived from divine order, the other from usurped influence. This concept of transformation is not only seen in rebellion but also in redemption. Scripture teaches that those who receive Christ become 'new creations' as is written in 2 Corinthians 5:17, meaning their very essence is restored toward holiness." Harker added.

"My powers might have grown in you, but when you first met me and pushed me to be like this, the Lord knows how I prayed to him in fear of losing everything. You could even say I found my peace. The Harker of the Adult's world was evil. I am a new creation. By all accounts, I should have remained as your enemy like in our world. But now, we have become a new creation. Our fate and destiny changed in becoming new creations."

"Both are still paths to immortality. One offers a false immortality. Quite futile if you ask me..." Lowengren laughed.

"If sin distorts, then salvation restructures. It is not merely a moral shift but an ontological one—something within them is realigned to their original purpose. The Overcomers are a reflection of this, individuals whose very being is undergoing a divine recalibration. This stands in direct opposition to Marrho's power."

ZAAAP!

Electric energy gathered as Lennox appeared.

"Lennox! You're back!" Lowengren laughed.

"I had to. I sensed Seeker's arrival. I had to employ my countermeasures to prevent Marrho from sensing you. I see that you're already discussing more about my lightning and that of Marrho's."

"Right. Marrho's lightning is a rebellious lightning. Christians would say, 'ours is stronger' but easier said than done. The body of a Principal is like this, Seeker. It is a world of its own. Marrho chose this path, and Dormin would sure have his own means of harnessing a body. Lynd might be the way and he is the Cultivator's Body, but you need form. A form beyond the dimensions. That's why you and Lynd cannot make the leap to be like Principals. You will need to transform your body so that your very body can uphold a dimension of its own."

"So that's what they meant by Dimensional Upholding..." Seeker thought.

"And Marrho should give us an idea how. For he has, within his possession, an object that has a three-dimensional form, and yet exists in the dimensions. It should be something that was physically part of the Nefilus beast!"

"Oh? What is it?"

"It would probably equate to what we have as hairs. But what it is, is a strand. A strand of Like Lightning."
