UFO-ism according to many Christian's
seems to be aimed at preparing the earth for an extraterrestrial
"visitation of the gods," and, more importantly, at changing the
world's religious beliefs. This would occur in two ways:
First, from a
technological standpoint, UFO sightings challenge the claim of human
superiority and dispute man's unique role in the universe. We are made
to feel shallow, undeveloped, unenlightened in our world and
cosmological view when it is Christian.
Second, extraterrestrials
offer a message (as reported in hundreds of abduction cases) of easy
universalism and New Age mysticism including dialogue of humans "on
the verge of extraordinary telepathic and technological growth."
These
benevolent ETs profess to watch over us and promise to appear at the
appropriate time to assist us in our next big evolutionary, spiritual,
and technological step forward. To prepare us for their coming,
popular movies, bestselling books, cultural trends, and religious
ideas, focus the earths masses on "help from above," while supporters
smile and explain "It’s okay, they’ve been here before" and "Don’t
worry, ancient men simply described flying saucers in terms of demons,
angels, and gods, because they didn’t understand what they were
seeing."
In other words, space vehicles
manipulating known laws of physics (suddenly appearing and
disappearing, operating anti-gravitationally, etc) were assigned "god"
or "angel" status by sincere but ignorant prophets, and Ezekiel’s
living creatures will return soon in their wheels "in the middle of a
wheel" providing true explanations of our origin and solutions to our
problems.
Such claims of extraterrestrials
visiting the earth in ancient times and interacting with men is
biblically and historically accurate. Where Christians differ from
others is in the definition of who these creatures were and what they
were doing.
In the Interlinear Hebrew Bible we
read:
The benei Elohim saw the daughters
of Adam, that they were fit extensions. And they took wives for
themselves from all those that they chose... The Nephelim were in the
earth in those days, and even afterwards when the benei Elohim came
in to the daughters of Adam, and they bore to them—they were
Powerful Ones which existed from ancient times, the men of name.
(Gen. 6:2,4)
When People Become Portals
As noted earlier in this series, the
benei Elohim are viewed by some as "extraterrestrial" [angelic]
creatures also known as "watchers," "sons of
God," and "rephiam." They
visited the earth during antiquity and used the daughters of Adam as
"fit extensions" or portals/gateways through which they extended
themselves into the physical world. The Watchers sought to corrupt the
bloodline of Adam, to deceive the human race, and to prevent the birth
of the Messiah. They represented themselves as "gods," and their
offspring, the Nephilim ("fallen ones"), attempted to exterminate the
Hebrews.
In
what may be a prophecy of end-time UFOs, Isaiah connected the benei
Elohim to "fiery flying seraph." We read,
"Do not rejoice O Philistia,
all of you, for the rod of your striking is broken, because a viper
(Antichrist?) comes forth from the root of the snake (Satan?) and his
fruit is the fiery flying seraph" (Is. 14:29).
This descriptive
language is amazing given the predominant and universal citations of
flying serpent "gods" and the promises of their return in the heavens
at the end of time. The seraph (seraphim) were powerful angels known
for their brilliance, some of which may have followed Lucifer in the
fall.
Are such "fiery flying seraph" the source of UFOs today? If
alien "angels" appeared in the days before the flood performing
genetic experiments on the daughters of Adam and producing mutant nephilim, does the prophecy of
Jesus in Luke 17:26 forecast such
activity as reoccurring at the end of time? Other questions asked by
Christian Ufologists include:
Does recent UFO abduction activity point
to genetic engineering of a new race of anti-God warriors (nephilim)
as we approach a Great Tribulation?
Will "UFOs" provide a grand entry
for the ultimate cross-mutation of angelic and human species—the
god-king of
the New World Order?
Returning "Gods" & The War of the
Worlds
In a popular New Age book on angels we
read:
Even in this day and age, films like
The Omen, Rosemary’s Baby, and The Seventh Sign evoke horror because
they tap into the possibility that we may be influenced in some way
by universal messengers of evil. However, according to our angelic
informants, the situation, thank God, is not like that at
all.... Slowly, surely, we are collectively emerging from this
illusion of evil.... Many contemporary Christians have begun to
abandon the concept that there is a real devil, recognizing once
again that there is only one omnipotent force in the universe.
Ask Your Angels: A Practical Guide to Working with the Messengers of
Heaven to Empower and Enrich Your Life (Ballantine Books)
Yet many Christian Ufologists see Hell
and the doom of Satan’s followers described in the Bible (and other
texts) as connected to Ufology, stargates and mystical portals. What's
more, some may be surprised to learn that a return of the gods of
mythology is clearly described in Biblical end times prophecies. The
"old gods" of the underworld (Zeus, Apollo, Demeter, Isis?) are viewed
as going to war with God during the last days.
Yet "The Lord will be
terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth" (Zeph.
2:11) "The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will
punish the...gods" (Jer. 46:25). Most significantly, the Bible
describes the Almighty as punishing the leader of these gods—"that old
serpent, called the Devil."
When Gods & Dragons Come Through
Portals
Around the world an interesting story
is repeated about "the god" of heaven warring with "the dragon" of the
sea during both the beginning and ending of time. The earliest
versions of this story date back to Sumerian and Hebrew sources. In
1944, Samuel Noah Kramer wrote:
"...we may have three versions of the
slaying-of-the-dragon myth as current in Sumer in the third
millennium B.C. The first involves the Sumerian water-god Enki,
whose closest parallel among the Greek gods is Poseidon. The hero of
the second is Ninurta, prototype of the Babylonian god Marduk when
playing the role of the "hero of the gods" in the Babylonian "Epic
of Creation." In the third it is Inanna, counterpart of the Semitic
Ishtar, who plays the leading role.
In all three versions, however,
the monster to be destroyed is termed Kur. Its exact form and shape
are still uncertain, but there are indications that in the first two
versions it is conceived as a large serpent which lived in the
bottom of the "great below" where the latter came in contact with
the primeval waters" A Study of Spiritual and Literary
Achievement in the Third Millennium B.C. (University of
Pennsylvania Press).
Unlike Sumerian text, in the book of
Job there is reference not only to Cetus, the Sea Monster,
and Draco, but clear description of Leviathan--the Great
Dragon of the sea:
"Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or
his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?.... Canst thou fill
his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?.... Who
can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with
his double bridle?.... Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth
are terrible round about. His scales are his pride, shut up together
as with a close seal. One is so near to another, that no air can
come between them. They are joined one to another, they stick
together, that they cannot be sundered. By his neesings a light doth
shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. Out of his
mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
Out of his
nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. His
breath kindleth coals, and a flame
goeth out of his mouth. In his neck remaineth
strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. The flakes of
his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they
cannot be moved. His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a
piece of the nether millstone. When he raiseth up himself, the
mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the
dart, nor the habergeon. He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as
rotten wood. The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned
with him into stubble. Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at
the shaking of a spear. Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth
sharp pointed things upon the mire.
He maketh the deep to boil like
a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. He maketh a path to
shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. Upon earth
there is not his like, who is made without fear. He beholdeth all
high things: he is a king over all the children of pride" (Job
41:1-34).
In what may be the oldest book in all of human
history, we find abundant physical details of the Great Dragon in the
sea who is the king of "all the children of pride" (Lucifer/Satan) and
who cannot be mastered by any other than God alone. In the litanies of
the witches' Sabbath, Leviathan is ranked, together with Lucifer and
Baalzebub, as an equal member of the supreme trinity of evil. Bible
prophecy indicates final conflict between God and this Dragon as
unfinished business which resumes at the end of time. Therefore
according to the Bible, a powerful spirit--literally a dragon--lurks
beneath the waters (or is bound in the great
seas) awaiting a gate opening at a future time when final conflict
will be engaged between itself and the Creator God.
In Isaiah we read,
"Come, my people,
enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide
thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the
inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall
disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. In that day the
Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish Leviathan
the piercing serpent, even Leviathan that crooked serpent; and he
shall slay the dragon that is in the sea" (Is. 26:20-27:1).
Preconditioning for the Final
Conflict, Or Giant Hoax?
Recently a story we avoided at Raiders
News Update but that flourished elsewhere on the web told of a giant
Leviathan-type creature discovered in the polar ice of Franz Josef
Land. The colossal being was described as having horns "immense in
dimension" that protruded from its head "with incredible
length. The body is covered with a combination of coarse fur and what
can best be described as ‘body armor’ (like an American armadillo) –
protects its enormous joints and head..."
The
story included video and audio reports. Steve Quayle did some
investigative work and after talking to the helicopter pilot in the
Leviathan Video, determined it was a fake. Evidently Sony had hired a
team to create a docudrama for a new playstation game called "Shadow
of the Colossus".
Or is that what happened?
Further research suggests this could be another classic
MIB bait-and-switch scenario designed to throw people off the trail of
legitimate recovery efforts at or near the Franz Josef site.
During RNU's own investigate research we uncovered several interesting and
potentially telling pieces of the puzzle not the least of which
involves P.J. Capelotti--senior lecturer in anthropology and American
studies at Penn State University Abington College in
Abington--
conducting extensive archaeological studies of several polar
expedition sites including Franz Josef Land (where the hoax was
perpetuated).
Capelotti followed his polar studies with a thesis on
the need to establish international laws and/or treaties preserving
alien artifacts.
Among other things, Capelotti pointed out that:
“The late biochemist and science
fiction writer Isaac Asimov once speculated that the galaxy may
contain 325 million planets with traces of civilizations in ruins.
Perhaps our astronomers and their SETI stations are hearing only
static through their radio telescopes because they are, in effect,
listening for a message from the extraterrestrial equivalent of the
ancient Maya or the Sumerians--dead civilizations that can speak to
us now only through archaeology.
Constructing a catalog of visual
signatures of advanced civilizations will someday be within the
province of aerospace archaeology. And with a potential cultural
resource database of 325 million planets with civilizations in
ruins, there sure is a lot of fieldwork to do 'out there.'"
http://www.archaeology.org/0411/etc/space.html
Did Capelotti's
team discover something in Franz Josef Land and/or elsewhere needing
international protection... something that corresponds to artificial
remains elsewhere in the galaxy that also needs international
protection... something big enough, let's say, to hire Sony to concoct
a cover-up? As extraordinary as that sounds, history proves repeatedly
that governments have participated in similar scenarios on more than
one occasion.
A few years ago Disney worked with an
army of NASA scientists, astronauts and technicians to produce a movie
of their own. "Mission to Mars" sent NASA Commander Luke Graham (Don Cheadle) with a crew of four astronauts to the planet Mars. While
exploring strange geological formations on the red planet's landscape,
the truth about the Face on Mars and the origin of mankind was
discovered.
At the time, director Brian De Palma
admitted,
"Mission to Mars is set in 2020 because that’s the date the
experts predict we should have a manned landing on Mars."
Soon a row
reportedly took place between NASA and Disney. It seemed the
government agency didn't like what the film was insinuating: that a
discovery had been made of past alien presence on Mars, an artificial
Sphinx-like "face" and pyramidal shapes near it (photographed by the
Viking Mars probe), and a 25-year cover-up by NASA and the US
Government in collusion with other world powers.
It's impossible to know where the smoke
screen begins and ends on stories like these, so we stick with the
inspired texts. They tell us of creation, and of the future return of
the Creator. War between this Almighty and the gods who come through
gateways occurs. "They" will come from air, earth, great rivers, and
from the bottom of the sea. There is no way to avoid their moment in
time.
John Milton wrote in Paradise Lost
that millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth unseen. The
Biblical View, which I postulated in my book
The Gods Who Walk Among Us, affirms the idea that
"In the beginning"
Yahweh created the heavens (celestial beings,
planets, etc) and the earth. Lucifer, "the light bearer," was a
crowning achievement of God's heavenly creation and a chief servant of
the creative Yahweh. Yet according to the story, Lucifer became
jealous of the worship Yahweh was receiving from his many creations,
and proudly proclaimed, "I will exalt my throne above the stars of
God....I will be like the most high" (Is.14:13-14).
Somehow Lucifer
convinced one-third of the celestial creatures to join him in great
rebellion, with the uprising ultimately resulting in Lucifer and his
followers being cast out of heaven. Lucifer (now Satan), driven by a
quest for worship and thirsty for revenge with Yahweh, tempted Eve,
and, after the fall with its resulting separation between man and God,
moved to corrupt the divine truths contained within the Original
Revelation by proclaiming himself (the god of the air) more worthy of
worship than was the God of heaven.
If such an assumption of the Biblical
View is correct—that a real and evil supernatural presence exists and
has for centuries drawn men away from worshipping Yahweh through the
dynamics of various mythologies—the following questions arise:
-
Were
the angels that joined Lucifer in the fall also driven by a lust for
worship?
-
Did the images and attributes ascribed to the gods of
mythology somehow reflect the real and spiritual characteristics of
certain unseen personalities operating behind them?
-
More importantly,
is the kingdom of Satan still at work in this manner?
-
Do the living
entities of ancient gods continue to pass through portals, to walk
among us?
-
If so, do such spirits embody themselves in trees, earth,
and idols of stone, or should we assume modern idolatry has acquired a
more selective sophistication and social manifestation?
-
One that has
in this century brought clearer detail to their gray image?
In the following edition we'll search
for the answers to these questions through the startling conclusion of
Stargates, Ancient Rituals, And Those Invited Through The Portal.
Be warned, the forthcoming summary may
upset you.
