Days of Noah Follow-up: UFO videos

by Michael G. Mickey

(5-21-08)

In a recent commentary, I discussed the possibility that there is more to UFO phenomena than meets the eye. Below are a number of UFO-related videos that offer opinions, both pro and con, concerning a number of high-profile UFO cases.

The Phoenix Lights above were a hot topic in the late 1990s and remain so even today in terms of UFO-related phenomena. Little over a year ago, during a period similar to now when UFOs were a hot topic in the news, I wrote a commentary on the topic.

The Stephenville, Texas UFO sightings were the topic of several commentaries I wrote because the official explanations? Suffice to say they were weak when compared to the testimony of numerous Texans.

On January 15, 2008 I wrote a commentary wherein the military's official explanation of what the residents of Stephenville saw was two commercial airliners flying in close proximity to one another. By January 31st, as I documented in another commentary, the military, in Roswell-like fashion I might add, had reversed course completely. By then the citizens of Stephenville, as it turned out, had seen military aircraft in the area. I didn't buy it at the time and I can't say that I buy it now for the reasons stated in the commentary.

In the video above, we are told a large UFO was seen in Belgium, where both NATO and the parliament of the revived Roman empire we today call the European Union are headquartered. The large object seen by hundreds showed up on radar as triangular in shape which corroborated eyewitness accounts. Not only that, the object, whatever it was, dropped from 10,000 feet in altitude to 500 feet in mere seconds when military jets approached its position after being scrambled. "Wow!" said an investigator. "That's not like, you know, super technology. That's Star Trek!"

At the end of this commentary are some more NBC News videos for you to review, a number of which I believe you will find quite interesting.

Saucers flying everywhere

Recently, there has been an influx of UFO-related news that, in light of other events taking place of prophetic significance, has captured my attention. Why all the renewed interest in UFOs all of a sudden? Perhaps one answer is because the Vatican's chief astronomer, Reverend José Gabriel Funes, said recently that "there is no conflict between believing in God and in the possibility of extraterrestrial civilizations perhaps more evolved than humans."

Not only did Funes make that assertion, he also implied that the human race might actually be the "lost sheep" of the universe, implying in no uncertain terms that our 'extraterrestrial brothers' could be beings who, unlike fallen mankind, "remained in full friendship with their creator."

If you're not sensing that a potential satanic deception of galactic scale may be in the works, it's time to 'wake up and smell the coffee' so to speak! We may well be witnessing the setting of the stage for the strong delusion spoken of in 2nd Thessalonians 2:11 to fall upon mankind in the aftermath of the Rapture of the Church! If the recent UFO mania isn't THE strong delusion referred to, it may well be a component of it.

Even NASA astronauts have gotten in on the UFO buzz recently as seen in an AFP article.

"If we push back boundaries far enough, I'm sure eventually we'll find something out there," said Mike Foreman, a mission specialist on the Endeavour, which returned to Earth in March.

Recently, Thomas Horn of Raider's News Network wrote a commentary wherein he explored, in part, the potential correlation between extraterrestrial activity as related to demonic activity which is what I thoroughly believe to be true as I have detailed in the past.

A portion of Horn's commentary poses the following question: If a portion of "flying saucer" activity is in the biblical sense demonic, what nefarious purpose would be served by the stealthy nature of UFO phenomena?

The answer to that question is presented as follows:

According to some, the answer is diabolical. UFO-ism, they say, is aimed at preparing the earth for an extraterrestrial "return of the creator gods." To put it bluntly, some believe we are being prepared for the collapse of man's dominant religions. This will happen in two ways:

First, alien religion--as reported in hundreds of abduction cases--is one of evolutionary humans "on the verge of extraordinary telepathic and technological emergence" in which transhumanism will pave the way for harmonic and spiritual convergence to the community of space brothers.

Second, from a technological standpoint, UFO sightings challenge the claim of human superiority and dispute our unique role in the universe. We are made to feel shallow, undeveloped, unenlightened if we consider rejecting the new universal religion.

ETs bearing this message often point out that "they" will be reappearing at any moment to assist us in this--our next big evolutionary, spiritual, and technological step forward.

Horn offers the following advice, based on 2nd Thessalonians 2:11's promise of strong delusion coming upon mankind in the prophetic future:

Beware if world authorities begin "disclosure" by pointing to ancient mysteries, megaliths, pyramids, the Face on Mars, UFOs or anything else as proof of an ancient visitation of planet earth by creator ETs. Deception, we are told, will follow. We will be instructed to believe that ancient astronauts--not God--created the human race, and a great "falling away" of the earth's major religions will follow.

While no one knows with certainty what God's prophetic plan is going to see transpire, there is potentially, at the very least, evidence that ancient mankind could have been assisted by beings of a higher level of architectural knowledge than we possessed to construct structures that many say mankind couldn't even build with today's technology, such as Stonehenge and the pyramids in Egypt for example.

Mankind would do well to bear in mind, at any moment that extraterrestrial visitation to our planet is officially declared as having occurred in the past or as occurring now, what we see described in Scripture taking place leading up to the Great Flood when "the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them.." Genesis 6:4

The "sons of God" or ben 'elohiym are not only seen in Genesis 6 but in the book of Job as well, chapters 1 and 2.

In the Job accounts they, along with Satan, appear before the throne of God and boldly declare that they have been traveling about the earth. Satan is the prince of the power of the air according to Ephesians 2:2. He is also a lair and the father of it, according to John 8:44. Thus, one had best think with his mind and not his eyes in the event a flying saucer arrives to announce that mankind is about to enter a new era of peace and prosperity - or anything else for that matter, even if it's only to announce that gas prices are going to drop below $4.00 a gallon.

I don't care what comes spinning through the air, climbing out of a test tube, warping in via a time machine or anything else! If it directs mankind away from God as Creator and the Almighty, it is of Satan. Period.

Keeping the information presented here in the back of one's mind, if no place else, may prove to be of tremendous spiritual benefit in the prophetic future.

While I wholly believe that any purported ET contact would occur after the Rapture of the Church based on 2nd Thessalonians 2, we could see more stage-setting taking place in the future if this is to be a component of the strong delusion to come. For that reason, it is my heartfelt prayer that my readers will prepare their nonbelieving family and friends for what may lie ahead just in case it comes to pass.

Given the amount of attention UFOs and ETs are getting lately, I sense a satanic deception may be in the works - one rebellious and unrepentant mankind might latch right onto, particularly if it was perceived to be a salvation of sorts without the need to come to any sort of faith in God.

Atheists like Richard Dawkins who make fun of born-again Christians for believing in the God of the Bible, likening Him to an imaginary flying spaghetti monster and the like? They will be lining up, in my humble opinion, to buy a lie of epic proportions and that because they and their kind took pleasure in their unrighteousness. 2nd Thessalonians 2:12

UFOs and the end times. Right now I feel 70% certain flying saucers are going to play at least a limited role in end times prophecy which is 100% why I feel led to bring these matters before my reading audience. As I have often said, a great deal of Bible prophecy's teachings, particularly where the Tribulation Period is concerned, will be best understood by those here to see it. Nonetheless, if those of us here now see even the slightest hint that our fellow mankind may be susceptible to being deceived by something that mankind already has a fascination with, we'd be remiss not to raise a red flag now. After all, Jesus Christ could come for His Church at any moment.

God bless you all!

The Appearing In Heaven

.........The timing of the realization of our BLESSED HOPE......After Israel were put to one side at the end of the book of Acts, Paul was inspired to write Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians 1@Timothy, Titus and Philemon. In Ephesians we read of the wonderful new hope set before us believers today; Eph 2:1 And He has made you alive, who were once dead in trespasses and sins, Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love with which He loved us Eph 2:5 (even when we were dead in sins) has made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved), Eph 2:6 and has raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus, Eph 2:7 so that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. God has declared that we have been quickened (made alive) in Christ, we have been raised together, and seated together in the heavenlies in Christ, exactly the same place where Christ has been raised and seated at the Father’s right hand, see Ephesians 1:19-21. There, where Christ is seated above all of the heavenly rulers and authorities, is our glorious inheritance in front of God’s face. There our blessings are located and there we are the heirs of God. Is it any wonder Paul brings this wonderful section to a close with these verses; Eph 2:8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, Eph 2:9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. Many Christians love these verses thinking they only refer to Christ dying for our sin and sins, but the salvation provided by grace through faith in Ephesians 2 goes way past these foundational truths to include our glorious inheritance in the heavenlies and the unique blessings we have there. We have been raised and seated together in the heavenlies that is the context of “FOR by grace you are saved through faith”. Praise the Lord, what a wonderful salvation by grace! This salvation is not an earthly one. We, the Church which is His Body, are not destined for the earth. We are not to be blessed with faithful Abraham; nor is the Jerusalem above the mother of us all today. These things were put aside with Israel at Acts 28. Galatians, 1@2Corinthians, 1@2 Thessalonians, Hebrews and Romans which were written before Acts 28, speak of Christ dying for our sins, but they know nothing of the wonderful hope we have today by grace through faith as found in Ephesians and Colossians written after Acts 28. After Israel was put aside then the Lord gave to Paul this wonderful salvation concerning heavenly places. This hope is an element of the Mystery, the present dispensation of the grace of God which was hidden away from ages and generations and it was also hidden away from Paul during the Acts period. We now begin to address a very important question. Since God’s Word says we, in Christ, have been raised and seated in the heavenlies where Christ is seated at the right hand of God, exactly when will we literally be seated there in the heavenlies or heavenly places? In other words, when will our hope become sight? When will our faith be realized? When will God’s Word regarding us come to pass? When will we be seated there in our wonderful new bodies “fashioned like His glorious body”? What is the timing of our hope? The answer to this is found in Colossians 3:1-4 which flows wonderfully onwards from Ephesians 2; Col 3:1 If then (or since, if does not always mean doubt) you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Col 3:2 Be mindful of things above, not on things on the earth. Col 3:3 For you died, and your life has been hidden with Christ in God. Col 3:4 When Christ our Life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory. Here we are clearly told that “WHEN” our Lord, The Head is revealed, “THEN” we, the Church which is His Body, will also be revealed “WITH HIM”. That is the timing of our hope; the revealing of our Lord. Here are one or two other versions: Col 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Col 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Col 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Col 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. (KJV) And Col 3:1 If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. Col 3:2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. Col 3:3 For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Col 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory. (RV) These three versions use “revealed”, “appear” and “manifested” to translate the Greek word “phaneroo”. Here are some helpful definitions of “phaneroo”: Strong’s. phaneroo; from G5318; to render apparent (literally or figuratively): - appear, manifestly declare, (make) manifest (forth), shew (self). Word Study (E-Sword). phaneroo; manifest, visible, conspicuous. To make apparent, manifest, known, show openly. Dr Strong says that the word “phaneroo” comes from another word, G5318 which is “phaneros”. Phaneros means “shining” and itself comes from a word which means “light, to give light”. When our Lord appears it is a moment of revelation involving great light, a shining forth. Where is this shining forth; this appearing of our Lord? The location is very clearly identified; it is “where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God”. Our Lord will be seated at God’s right hand when He is manifested. We shall look more closely at this in a later lesson but for now we recognize this is not in the air of 1 Thess.4, where the clouds are located. We can see a contrast in this Colossians passage. Notice, our life is “hidden with Christ in God” and while these things are hidden now, there is a time coming when they will be manifested or revealed. This moment will be a very bright one, a blazing forth as some have described it. It will be a glorious moment when our Lord and Head is manifested, but you and me and the rest of the Church which is His Body will be manifested there, in the heavenly places with Him. What will this appearing be like? Imagine you are sitting on a chair on top of a hill which, if there was light, would be clearly visible to the city below. The hill and the city are in darkness but there comes a time when the top of the hill is illuminated with a bright light. Then you, sitting on top of the hill, will be clearly visible to all those in the city below. You on your chair have been “manifested”, you have been “revealed”, you have “appeared” to all. In a similar but far more extensive way the Lord will appear to all in a blazing forth of light. He will be seen by those in the heavenly places, and by those on the earth beneath. Please consider the following verses as an anticipation of future lessons; Mat 24:27 For as the lightning comes out of the east and shines even to the west, so also will be the coming of the Son of Man. Mat 24:29 And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Mat 24:30 And then the sign of the Son of Man shall appear (phaino-the same family of words giving phaneroo of Colossians 3) in the heavens. Act 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious (epiphanes- the same family of words giving phaneroo of Colossians 3) Day of the Lord. And Mat 26:64 Jesus said to him, You said it. I tell you more. From this time you shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of the heavens. Act 7:56 And he (Stephen) said, Behold, I see Heaven opened and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God. And this passage; Rev 6:12 And when He had opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake. And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs when she is shaken by a mighty wind. Rev 6:14 And the heaven departed like a scroll when it is rolled together. And every mountain and island were moved out of their places. Rev 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains. Rev 6:16 And they said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him sitting on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; When the Lord is manifested in the heavenly places, the world will be morally, spiritually and physically dark and in that darkened day a light will blaze forth, our Lord shall be visible and “every eye shall see Him”. The heavens will be peeled back and they will see Him sitting on the right hand of God. This “appearing” of our Lord and Head is far above the clouds, and the air of 1 Thess.4. This is before He begins His descent to the earth. In the day; in the moment our Lord is manifested on the right hand of God, we shall be there in our seats manifested with Him. What an honor, what a moment of unimaginable joy. Let each one of us set our affection “where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God”, for there, in front of God’s face, we have been raised and seated to “appear with Him”. That moment of His appearing is when our hope will be realized. .....

TRUST JESUS CHRIST AND HIS (FINISHED WORK) PLUS NOTHING

I started this blog for the Lord in January 2008.
The first post was about the confusion of when the Rapture
will occur. Pre, Mid, Post, and other ideas. The Holy Spirit
has been teaching me all these things because The Lord has
given me a love of his TRUTH. I was saved before I started the blog because I already trusted in Jesus' FINISHED WORK
on the cross and believed in the Scriptural resurrection of
our Savior. The FIRST STEP for any person to understand
your Bible, is to TRUST ONLY IN JESUS CHRIST for his
completed saving work on the cross and believe he was resurrected to Glory as Scripture tells us......PLUS NOTHING
else ! Not works of any kind, denominational dogmas and
traditions of men that try to add works and sacraments,
good deeds, tithing, creeds, laws of men or God, baptism in
water by men in any name, and anything else men try to tell
you need to do in their particular denomination of men to add
to the FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST on the cross. ONCE YOU TOTALLY TRUST CHRIST JESUS FOR YOUR SALVATION AND PLUS NOTHING ELSE, The Holy Spirit
will at that very moment...baptize you into the Body of Christ
and from then, on the Holy Spirit will teach you all things a little at a time, line upon line from the Living Word of Truth
in Scriptures. Don't trust anyone or denomination, but
search in HIS WORD to see if these things are so.

The second thing barring sincere seekers of truth from
Truth, is that most all denominations, including the first
denomination the RCC, believe in some way, they as "the church", have received Israel's blessings and have become
the new, "Spiritual Israel" This teaching found in Replacement
Theology, Amillennialism, Covenant Theology are totally
FALSE. To understand properly God's Word, one must
do what is found in II Tim 2:15. 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

All Scripture is for your knowledge and understanding, but
God has worked with men differently in times past, now,
and in the future. All Scripture is not written to you to follow
as it was to Israel in the past. Israel was under the LAW program and the Body of Christ today is under the GRACE
program. You must(rightly divide)between the two of these
churches to understand what was meant for Times past and what is meant for the Body of Christ today.

I will be talking about and posting from now on about what
the Holy Spirit has been teaching me in particular in my walk
in faith and in spirit in Christ, as part of his Body.

May God bless you richly in the wonders and DEEP RICHES
spiritually of his Grace.

Amen
Sincerely in Christ Jesus,
Your Brother Mark

GLEAN and GROW in FAITH and KNOWLEDEGE

It is a common, but very serious MISTAKE.....
to think that just because you disagree on some points....
another brother in Christ Jesus, in the Body of Christ, has about the Rapture....that you cannot "GLEAN " MANY OTHER IMPORTANT NUGGETS OF TRUTH.......
that will aid us in growing in grace and knowledge of the
BIG PICTURE overall in what is happening and will happen
in PROPHECY...on the stage of history.

Come Brothers....let us share and learn about issues of
importants.... WITHOUT getting upset. There are many wonderful pieces of the puzzle we can glean from other brothers.
Hold fast to your truth...but don't be so dogmatic, so closed minded, so upset....not to dialog between brothers and sisters of the same
Body of Christ...even though we might disagree on some points.

God will act His way regardless of our.....
at this present time....SEEING THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY

Remember....When we are all changed we will understand
ALL.....and see Him as He Is.......Amen

God Bless,
BrotherMark

The Price To Free You Has Been Paid...Just Accept It

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
