I've heard Evangelical christians (esp TeeVee variety) refer
to an approaching object more than a few times. I think that
they probably believe it is Christ zooming in from heaven, (and,
if a reality at all, not AntiChrist who will come in wonders
and aerial illusions). Of course this object is not a dark
asteroid, but lightbearing or it wouldn't have "been seen" by
astronomers (if it has been?).
Perhaps its time to repost the fact (and the article which was
the 4th post on this group) that the aerial realm is the place
of activity of the fallen Lucifer (the light bearer) and those
angels who fell with him (demons). Their tools are falsehood
and illusion. The Fathers of the early Christian Church warned
that it was not a good idea to look often or with imaginary
wondering at the heavens, as it is possible to become victim to
the lying wonders of the aerial beings.
UFOs are real phenomena. But they are a phenomena of the
creation of the illusory powers of the father of lies. Before
the space age, UFOs were not spacecraft - this is a product of
the paradigm of our age. The demonic beings (who occupy the
UFOs) are however very similar to the demonic archetypes of the
past. The effects on people are good evidence of the nature of
these beings.
For your own sakes, give up your fantasies and believe that
these manifestations are nothing new, but simply a continuation
of the demonic manifestations which were easily understood by
our forebears who had a simple "unsophisticated" belief in evil.
That these manifestations are increasing in frequency is
a sign of our times and the foolishness of men who reject the
wisdom of the past.
The article "UFOs, a Shattering Assault" is available on
request. See also a very lengthy discussion of the history and
categorization of CEs in "Orthodoxy and the Religion of the
Future".
Based on what I have been able to gather, this object that is
approaching should arrive on about Christmas 1992. The great
"Peace on Earth" accompanying this advent will cause most of you
to worship the being that arrives.
I don't at all recommend drugs!, but I think my experience in
the 60s with hallucinogens gives me a much better understanding
of the reality of illusions, their power, their effects, and the
shaping of new realities for the participant. Illusion is (in a
limited sense) reality. It is the reality of delusion, and we
all suffer its influence over us by the fallen nature of our very
existance. Knowing this, it is easier to make sense of UFOs and
also to not fall victim to the much more seductive illusions to
come.

I suppose I wasn't exactly clear in my post - based on the
misunderstandings (and some e-mail) I've seen posted.
I can't answer your questions because I don't believe the
TV evangeligals who are spouting this stuff. I am just a
poor unfortunate who relishes watching the absurdities of
Hal Lindsey's prophecies. It' snot only entertaining to me,
but it is educational as well. I thought that maybe you
folks would like the benefit of what I had gleaned from the
tube.
THEY (not me) say that there is something (a light) headed
this way from far off (beyond the range of solar light re-
flection). THEY seem to think that it is a harbinger of
either the return of Christ, or of the Antichrist. I (me),
I say that whomever it is (if I thought it were real), they,
and by virtue of the psychological bent displayed here, many
of you, would worship any advanced intelligence that appeared
in wonders from the sky.
I belong to a much older Christian Church than the ones you all
have attacked (rightly so) because of its abuses. I do not
take your attacks personally because I know that my Church has
not fallen prey to the western rationalizations and errors which
you oppose. In your western materialism however, you have failed
to even consider the spiritual truths of the advice of the early
fathers of the Church wrt the spiritual beings (not the material
order of the solar system, etc...) that occupy the aerial realm.
I see no difference between the apocalyptic visions of the
Evangelicals and the chiliastic expressions made by many of the
proponents of UFOs as real material phenomena. I put both
groups in the same category - deluded. I have as support for
my view the collective wisdom of 'true' christian experiences -
manyof which exactly parallel the UFO-esque appearances, but are
interpreted not as little men from space (or as leprechauns or
nature sprites or in Germany as "smurfs" or ......) but as man-
ifestations of demons. You may, and likely do, disagree. You may
even say I am the one deluded, as one e-mail did, but I can read
in the lives of saints from the earliest times about your
"aliens" and see that for thousands of years there is self-
consistency in the understandings of these beings. Your
imaginings and material explanations do not have the same
strength to me. Please allow me to have (and post) ideas con-
trary to yours without being attacked.
Given the limited number of pigeon-holes you all seem to be
working with, I guess I'm not surprised which one you put me
in. If you are going to sort people thusly, at least get more
pigeon-holes - its a big world out there.
