Divine abduction

Divine abduction refers to the belief that a deity or divine presence has taken an individual, often temporarily, for purposes such as revelation, guidance, or testing. Unlike common abductions, which are typically associated with extraterrestrials, divine abduction involves supernatural intervention rooted in religious or spiritual convictions. People who experience this may report being taken from their environment, receiving messages or lessons, and sometimes returning with transformed perspectives. Such experiences are interpreted within their faith worlds as meaningful encounters with the divine, rather than extraterrestrial or paranormal events.
