The Bible makes mention of the word “vibration” in one verse in a translation The Apostolic Bible Polyglot (with Strong’s reference numbers)

Job 28:26 “When (G3753) he made them, (G4160) thus (G3779?) seeing (G1492) counted them (G705) and (G2532) made a way (G3598) for (G1722) the vibration (G5098) of sound (G5456).”

Most other translations of the Bible use Hebrew reference numbers to translate the Old Testament. But that particular verse in the Apostolic Bible Polyglot interestingly uses the Greek reference numbers as a translation source, which translates the words as “vibration of sound”.

The Medium and the Ghost of Samuel

Do mediums and psychics have the ability to contact the deceased?


There is some mystery and debate as to whether mediums and psychics can actually communicate with the dead. There is a common claim that they receive messages and information from "beyond". The question is, do these messages come directly from God? Or are they received from a darker, more deceptive source? 


There is a very revealing account in the Bible that may help you answer those questions, and perhaps even more.


Many have used the example of Saul and the medium at En-dor to defend their position as to whether or not mediums have the ability to contact the dead. But just who is the message coming from? In the following passage, the reactions of both Saul and the medium are very telling, and even provide some answers for those who question the information source of practicing psychics and mediums. Do mediums receive information from an outside source? 


Once the medium understands that Saul wants to contact Samuel, and she agrees, she then sees Samuel, and her reaction tells her surprise:

1Sa 28:12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice, and the woman spake to Saul, laying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.
1Sa 28:13 And the King said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending up out of the earth.

The medium is clearly surprised to see Samuel. But why? Shouldn't she be used to contacting the dead in her line of work? Common sense says that she should not be surprised. Was she actually surprised that she could in fact make contact with Samuel? Was this her first actual experience being in communication with someone who had passed on? 


Saul obviously could not see Samuel, because he asked the medium what she saw.

Whether she is surprised that Samuel actually appeared before her because she has not ever actually communicated with the dead, or she is used to receiving her information from "alternative sources", which were this time replaced with the actual appearance of Samuel. Regardless, the simple fact remains - she reacted with shock to the experience.


Ultimately, you decide what you believe, not anyone else. 

What Happens to Our Spirit or Ghost When We Die

Many people are confused about where we go when we die. However, the Bible is fairly clear to those who wish to unravel the mysteries surrounding the experience of death. It is just that most people are unwilling to accept what they read, and tend to look for other non-Biblical answers. The fact of the matter is, that if you ask 10 different people the same questions, you are likely to get 10 different answers. If you ask God, you get just one answer, His answer.

The scriptures show us that there are two distinct places that our souls go to after death. We are also shown that it is extremely unlikely that the dead would be used to communicate with the living as proof that God’s Word is true.

Lazarus and the rich man ended up in two separate places as a result of dying. Lazarus was carried away by the Angels to a place of comfort with Abraham. The rich man was buried. We are shown a distinct difference between being “carried away by the Angels” and being “buried” and suffering “in hell in torments”. The Greeks referred to this hell as being in Hades.

Luke 16:22 And it was so that the beggar died, and was carried by the Angels into Abrahams bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
Luke 16:23 And being in hell in torments, he lift up his eyes, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

Abraham explains that the reason is the way they lived: The rich man received his pleasures, and after being buried he was tormented, thirsty, and without comfort. Lazarus received pains, and he was carried away by the Angels and is comforted.

Luke 16:24 Then he cried, and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, & cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.
Luke 16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy life time receive thy pleasures, and likewise Lazarus pains: now therefore is he comforted, and thou art tormented.

Abraham goes on to explain to the rich man that there is a huge separation of space between them, and that neither Lazarus or the rich man are able to leave their place of comfort or torment to get to the other place.

Luke 16:26 besides all this, between you and us there is a great gulf set, so that they which would go from hence to you, can not: neither ca they come from thence to vs.

In order to save his five brothers from going to the place of torment with him, he asks Abraham to send Lazarus to appear to them from the dead, to convince them that they should change their way of life to avoid going to the place of torment after death. Abraham explains that they should listen to Moses and the Prophets in order to prevent going to the place of torment, but that sending one from the dead won’t successfully convince them to change their lives.

Luke 16:27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou would send him to my fathers house,
Luke 16:28 (For I have five brethren) that he may testify unto them, least they also come into this place of torment.
Luke 16:29 Abraham said unto him, they have Moses and the Prophets: let them hear them.
Luke 16:30 and he said, nay, father Abraham: but if one came unto them from the dead, they will amend their lives.
Luke 16:31 Then he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rise from the dead again.
