How God Brought This ‘Doubting Thomas’ Supernatural Revelation from CHARISMA NEWS STAFF
Author and publisher Neill Russell describes himself as a “doubting Thomas.” And that desire to seek out the truth led him into a career as a high school science teacher and now, to be used of God to share the truths of the supernatural realm through his books.
“I didn’t believe in the supernatural, just like a lot of people, until God showed me,” Russell tells Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of Greenelines on the Charisma Podcast Network. Desperately ill with food poisoning, he suddenly saw a man at the bottom of his bed. “I was not daydreaming, hallucinating,” he says. “This was not a vision.
“This was a man at the bottom of my bed with his hands crossed, and I closed my eyes to get a better look,” Russell says. “And he was gone. And I started to chuckle. ‘Lord, why did You show me my angel now?’ And I named my angel Ariel.

“Ariel is the name of the angel in [my book] Wiles of the Devil. … I saw him,” he adds. “A Jew needs a sign; I’m 100% Jewish. I saw my angel. Now. I have total peace that he’s right here with me no matter where I go.”
That confidence in the existence of the supernatural has guided Russell in the writing and publishing of books that include a No. 1 Amazon end-times bestseller, Newton’s Riddle, a fictional account of Sir Isaac Newton’s question to discover when Jesus would return, and his most recent, Wiles of the Devil 2020, a prequel to the first book. Wiles of the Devil 2020 explores the recent election crisis, COVID-19 and more.
“I have to visualize for my audience what’s going on in the supernatural realm,” Russell says. “And so the angels are telling the story; they’re telling the story of exactly what just happened with our elections, what’s going to happen in the very near future. … That’s the part that we don’t hear. We don’t hear about the planning and scheming that goes on in the spiritual realm.”
