Definition: The word "antilapse" is a term in Greek mythology, suggesting an object that was too small to be seen or observed from above but could only appear as if it were there, effectively creating a veil over reality, akin to a spiritual barrier preventing humans from seeing into other dimensions. In the Bible, this concept is referenced in the story of Noah and his family, who built a temporary bridge using animal hides to keep them safely dry while their ark was being carried across the ocean to safety.
