On Falling Backwards

"In the Bible when man encounters God he bows down forward to worship. Falling backward is to be ensnared by the enemy  as in Isaiah 28 and judgment in 1 Sam 4."

"For with stammering lips and another tongue
He will speak to this people....
That they might go and fall backward, and be broken
And snared and caught." Is. 28. Wow.

"Then it happened, when he made mention of the ark of God, that Eli fell off the seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck was broken and he died, for the man was old and heavy." 1 Sam 4.

More backwards falling showing judgment from God:

"Dan is excluded from the 12 tribes in Revelations after being called a viper that would bite the heel, causing the rider of the horse to fall backward Genesis 49:17, also Jeremiah 7 and 1 Corinthians 14."

 "Dan shall be a serpent by the way,
A viper by the path,
That bites the horse’s heels
So that its rider shall fall backward."

" Yet they did not obey... or incline their ear, but followed the counsels and the dictates of their evil hearts, and went backward and not forward."

"But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he is convinced by all, he is convicted by all. 25 And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you." "On his face," the convicted man is falling forward when convicted by God, not backwards.

 

And of course when the people come to arrest Jesus they fall backwards.  This was to show God's judgment on them.  NOT his blessing.
