hardware components. To this day he has never seen anything resembling the Roswell artifacts.
Marcel then proceeded to tell me an intriguing story about an incident that had happened some years ago, when
he was scheduled to be in Washington DC. To this day he does not know how the participant knew where he would be at
that particular time. When he arrived at his motel, there was a message waiting for him on the phone in his room. It was from
a man we will call Mr. “X.” He wanted to meet with Marcel the following day at 1:00 PM in a certain room at the Capital
building. Marcel felt uneasy but agreed to go to the meeting. On arrival, he was ushered into the office of Mr. “X,” who got
right down to business. “X” wanted to talk to Marcel about Roswell, and he asked if Jess would be more comfortable “in a
secure room.” When Marcel explained that he would not be saying anything he had not said before, “X” pressed the idea
of the alternate meeting area, explaining, “Well, maybe I want to tell you something you do not already know.”
Leaving the office, they proceeded to the secure room where no listening devices existed, in an area Jess described
as “the dungeons of the Capital building.” They sat at a table where Marcel noticed a book about alien abductions, UFO
technology, and Roswell. “X” tapped on the book with his finger and said outright, “This is not fiction.” The mysterious
government insider (later identified as Dick D’Amato, an aide to Sen. Robert Byrd) continued talking for a while and then
asked Marcel if he knew where the material recovered from the Roswell ranch was being kept. Jess found the question
curious and said, “No. Don’t you?” “X”’s answer was as enigmatic as the question, so Marcel responded with an inquiry
of his own: “If extraterrestrial activity is real, and you guys know it, when is the government planning Official Disclosure of
what really happened at Roswell?”
“If it was up to me,” “X” said, “we’d be doing it now.”
Following a story like that, I just had to ask Col. Marcel if he personally knew of other members of the government
and military who also are anticipating a future moment when the representatives of the world’s religions and leaders of
nations will stand in the well of the United Nations and say, “We have an announcement to make. We are in contact with
extraterrestrial intelligence.”
Marcel grew silent for a moment, then looked at me and whispered, “Yes.”
Suddenly the phone rang, and Col. Marcel had to leave the building.
This issue of OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE (formerly ANOMALOS MAGAZINE) includes a look at Christian Theology
and ET through the eyes of Dr. Michael Heiser. Derek Gilbert amuses with his idea of how ET might be involved in the
Apocalypse by contrasting the Left Behind books with a prophecy from schlock filmmaker Ed Wood’s Plan 9 From Outer

Bible, while other articles in this issue of OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE will challenge your perception of reality on “ghostbusters,”
Masonic doctrines, the Tower of Babel, and other special features.

Imaginations . . .
In the Garden of Eden, the
serpent tempted Eve with the prospect of
becoming like a god. “For God doth know
that in the day ye eat thereof, then your
eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as
gods . . .” (King James Version, Gen. 3.5).
Eve fell, and into darkness descended the
future of the human race. Paradise had
been traded for deception. Later God
would observe “. . . that the wickedness
of man was great in the earth, and that
every imagination of the thoughts of his
heart was only evil continually” (Gen. 6.5).
From the moment the serpent
tempted Eve, the imagination of
mankind has worked toward godhood.
However, because of man’s inherent
sinful nature, this striving is in vain.
Created in the image of God, we were
designed to serve and reflect God.
Paradise resulted from the creation
working in perfect harmony with its
Creator. Function and form were
brought forth from the mind of God but
in accommodation of the freewill of
Adam and Eve.
Satan, the serpent of old,
envious of God and His creation, tore
through this harmonious relationship
between God and man. Wishing to
elevate himself above God, he stepped
before Eve with the aim of hijacking her
worship. But what could Satan offer?
Satan excited in Eve a similar desire by
which he fell: the desire for self-
promotion (Ezek. 28).
Generations after the fall in
Eden, the desire to obtain godhood
became physically manifested in a

sacred building
project. Mankind
began to build an
astrological tower
called Babel, which
means the gate of
God (Missler 33;
Harris, et al. 89).
This sacred building
project was
mankind’s attempt to
ascend to the
heavens both
physically and
spiritually and become
like gods.
“And the LORD came down
to see the city and the tower,
which the children of men
builded. And the LORD said,

abandonment of our designed place
and function.
Satan’s goal is to take the
Creator’s place, regardless of the price
the creation pays in the process. We are
his trophies: the defiant prize he
dangles before the Creator. Satan’s
kingdom is a kingdom with the single
purpose of uniting us against God.
This unification was first attempted
under Nimrod at Babel. This first effort
failed due to God’s intervention. One
day, however, Satan will largely
succeed, though only for a brief
moment, on a plain called Megiddo
(Rev. 16:13-16). The foundation of
Satan’s future kingdom is being laid
before our eyes. We must look to the
past, to understand the present.
Nimrod—The Rebel
The name Nimrod implies
“rebel” or “to rebel” (Missler 33; Unger
53). We learn in Genesis that Nimrod
founded the first great empire: “And
Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a
mighty one in the earth. He was a
mighty hunter before the LORD:
wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the
mighty hunter before the LORD. And
the beginning of his kingdom was
Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and
Calneh, in the land of Shinar” (Gen.
10:8-10).
We then learn that the people
united on the plain of Shinar and built
the Tower of Babel; the gate of God
(Harris, et al. 89).
“And the whole earth was of one
language, and of one speech. And
it came to pass, as they journeyed
from the east, that they found a
plain in the land of Shinar; and
they dwelt there. And they said
one to another, Go to, let us make
brick, and burn them thoroughly.
And they had brick for stone, and
slime had they for morter. And
they said, Go to, let us build us a
city and a tower whose top may
reach unto heaven; and let us
make us a name, lest we be
scattered abroad upon the face of
the whole earth” (Gen. 11:1-4).
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
This was not simply a building
but rather an attempt to ascend to the
heavens—in the same vein that Lucifer
asserts, “I will ascend above the
heights of the clouds; I will be like the
most High” (Isa.14.14). The tower was
man’s rebellious attempt to ascend to
the place of godhood. Author Dave
Hunt explains:
“Satan’s promise to Eve that
she could become one of the
gods became the foundation
of pagan religion worldwide. [.
. .] Thus was born the religion
of self-effort. [. . .] The rising
Tower of Babel seemed to
give credence to the
grandiose delusion that man
could reach heaven by his
own efforts. Nimrod was very
likely the first emperor to be
deified, and thus was a
forerunner of Antichrist” (57).
Thus, Nimrod was the
figurehead of Satan’s first attempt at
creating a unified kingdom that defied
God. A key deception underlying this
kingdom was the original lie: that one
could become like God. This lie, which
Satan first told to Eve in the Garden, is
the foundation of all paganism—a
foundation that will be harnessed by
another rebel, the coming Antichrist.
Arthur Walkington Pink (1886-1952),
the famous theologian and writer,
noted:
“In Nimrod and his schemes we
see Satan’s initial attempt to raise
up a universal ruler of men. [. . .]
we cannot fail to see that there is
here, beneath the historical
narrative, something deeper than
that which appears on the
surface; yea, that there is here a
complete typical picture of the
person, work and destruction of
the Antichrist.”
Destruction of the Tower and the
Division of the Nations
God destroyed the Tower, and
confused the peoples’ language. As a
result, the word “Babel” came to mean
7
“confused language” (Harris, et al 89).
God also divided the people and
created the nations. More detail of this
division can be found in Deuteronomy
32, also known as The Song of Moses.
“Remember the days of old;
consider the years of many
generations; ask your father, and
he will show you, your elders, and
they will tell you. When the Most
High gave to the nations their
inheritance, when he divided
mankind, he fixed the borders of
the peoples according to the
number of the sons of God. But
the LORD’s portion is his people,
Jacob his allotted heritage”
(English Standard Version, Deut.
32.7-9).
It is important to note that the
phrase “the sons of God” in the above
passage is read in most English Bibles
as “the sons of Israel.” However, the
Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as the Greek
Septuagint, confirm that the earliest
versions read “the sons of God.”
Further evidence that it should read
“the sons of God” and not “the sons of
Israel” is that Israel was not in existence
when God divided mankind and fixed
the borders at Babel. Therefore, the
sons of Israel did not yet exist.
This understanding is
important because the “sons of God”
are identified throughout the Old
Testament as divine beings or heavenly
hosts. It is important to note that the
term “sons of God” is used both of
fallen heavenly beings (Psalm 82.1-8)
and unfallen heavenly beings (Job
38.7). As a further resource on this topic
I highly recommend Dr. Michael
Heiser’s website
www.michaelsheiser.com. However,
with the fact in mind that Deuteronomy
32 references heavenly beings: “. . . he
fixed the borders of the peoples
according to the number of the sons of
God” (emphasis added) (Deut. 32.8), it is
apparent that part of God’s judgment at
Babel was to allow a stubborn people
to inherit nations under the power of
angelic beings, instead of God. God
would choose his own nation later.

It can also be deduced that
when this occurred, God divided the
people into seventy nations, as there
are exactly seventy nations identified in
the Table of Nations in Genesis 10.
With this information, it can be further
deduced that there must also have been
seventy “sons of God” because
Deuteronomy says that God divided
the nations “according to the number
of the sons of God” (Deut 32.8). This
reasoning seems a bit stretched until
one finds that this conclusion is
confirmed by noncanonical sources,
such as The Book of Jasher 9.32—
which specifically states that there were
seventy angels involved: “And God
said to the seventy angels who stood
foremost before him, to those who were
near to him, saying, Come let us
descend and confuse their tongues,
that one man shall not understand the
language of his neighbor, and they did
so unto them” (Parry 45).
God gave dominion of the
seventy nations to seventy angels
who, perhaps, constitute at least part of
the false gods in the Old Testament. It
is surprising to some people that God
uses fallen angels to work His will at
times, but that is exactly what occurs in
I Kings 22 when He chooses to allow a
lying spirit to entice Ahab. I suspect
that God is using fallen angels to
further His ultimate purpose in the case
of Deuteronomy 32.8 as well. However,
He was not giving up on mankind
altogether. Later, beginning in Genesis
12, He would mercifully preserve a
people to protect the line leading to the
Messiah. He would later create a nation
of His own through which he would
work.
Power over the Gods
In chapter 12 of Genesis, God
promises to make Abram into a great
nation. Have you ever wondered why
the Creator of the Universe would be
the God of one nation in history?
Many antagonists to Judaism and
Christianity point to this as evidence
that Judaism originated as a cultural
religion. With a proper understanding
of the allotment of the nations amongst
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
the fallen sons of God we have a
convincing answer to this accusation.
By creating His own nation,
God preserved a people for the line
leading to the Messiah. The Messiah,
in turn, defeated the gods of the
nations, the principalities and powers,
through the cross:
“And ye are complete in him,
which is the head of all
principality and power.
[. . . ] And you, being dead in
your sins and the
uncircumcision of your flesh,
hath he quickened together
with him, having forgiven you
all trespasses; Blotting out the
handwriting of ordinances
that was against us, which
was contrary to us, and took it
out of the way, nailing it to his
cross; And having spoiled
principalities and powers, he
made a shew of them openly,
triumphing over them in it”
(Col. 2.10, 13-15).
By His blood He stripped the
fallen sons of God of their power, for He
died and rose for both the Gentile and
the Jew, both the inhabitants of the
pagan nations and of Israel. Through
the power of Christ’s blood, God
reclaimed the nations. Power over the
gods is given to Christ’s followers, as is
evidenced in the below passage from
The Gospel of John, where Christ sends
out seventy disciples corresponding to
the seventy nations and the seventy
fallen sons of God:
“Now after this the Lord
appointed seventy others,
and sent them two and two
ahead of Him to every city and
place where He Himself was
going to come. And He was
saying to them, “The harvest
is plentiful, but the laborers
are few; therefore beseech the
Lord of the harvest to send
out laborers into His harvest.
Go your ways; behold, I send
you out as lambs in the midst
8
of wolves.” [. . .] And the
seventy returned with joy,
saying, “Lord, even the
demons are subject to us in
Your name.” And He said to
them, “I was watching Satan
fall from heaven like lightning.
Behold, I have given you
authority to tread upon
serpents and scorpions, and
over all the power of the
enemy, and nothing shall
injure you. Nevertheless do
not rejoice in this, that the
spirits are subject to you, but
rejoice that your names are
recorded in heaven” (NASB,
Luke 10.1-3, 17-20).
Thus, through Jesus one can
have authority over the gods of this
world, the principalities and powers
over the nations. “For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against
the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high
places” (KJB, Eph. 6.12). However, our
real joy comes from the fact that our
names are recorded in heaven and that
what was lost in Eden will one day be
restored.
Territorial Spirits
The allotment of the nations
to the seventy fallen sons of God
explains the territorial references in
scripture such as the following passage
in Daniel:
“Then said he unto me, Fear not,
Daniel: for from the first day that
thou didst set thine heart to
understand, and to chasten
thyself before thy God, thy words
were heard, and I am come for thy
words. But the prince of the
kingdom of Persia withstood me
one and twenty days: but, lo,
Michael, one of the chief princes,
came to help me; and I remained
there with the kings of Persia”
(Dan 10.12-13).

In this passage the Prince of Persia
delays an angel of God for twenty-one
days. Geographically, modern day Iran
is in the former area of Persia. Perhaps
we see the influence of the Prince of
Persia today underlying the words and
actions of the modern day leaders of
Iran, who declare that Israel should be
wiped off the face of the earth and
repeatedly deny Israel’s right to exist.
After all, in current times there
is evidence that nations and territories
are under the influence of fallen
principalities and powers. On the cross,
Christ triumphed over the principalities
and powers, but they are left to work
their evil until Christ’s triumphant
Second Coming. In the book Wrestling
with Dark Angels, Dr. C. Peter Wagner
of Fuller Theological Seminary notes:
“Research on territorial spirits is
so new that the case studies that
have surfaced tend to get told
over and over again. I have no
doubt that as time goes by
credible stories of breaking
powers over areas, both small and
large, will multiply. Jamie
Buckingham, for example, told me
of sensing the presence of a
specific power of evil over the city
of Prague some time ago. He also
reports that former Secretary of
the Interior James Watt, through
sensitivities acquired in his past
association with the occult,
perceives specific dark angels
assigned to the White House”
(80).
Wagner further elaborates:
“We have already seen that in the
Old Testament the names of the
principalities ruling over territories
were known. We also recognize
names of Greek and Roman
principalities such as Jupiter,
Aphrodites, Diana, Poseidon,
Bacchus and Venus. Our most
frequent categorization of these
names is ‘mythology,’ by which
we usually mean that they must
have been figments of the
imagination of pre-scientific
people. If nothing else, the rise in
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
popularity of the New Age
Movement is now forcing many
of us to reexamine these points of
view” (85).
When God divided the people
into nations, changed their language,
and gave them over to the fallen sons
of God, the false religion of Satan’s
kingdom was not destroyed but rather
was dispersed and fragmented. This
accounts for some of the similarities
among different mythologies. The
confusion of languages explains why
identical characters in these
mythologies have different names. In
other words, the same territorial
principalities were known by different
names among different people groups.
Rebuilding the Tower
These same gods and beliefs
are being defragmented and reunited
today in the revitalized paganism of the
New Age movement, once again
forming an inclusive, unified religion in
accordance with the future system of
the Antichrist (Rev. 13:15).
Concurrently, mankind’s technological
striving for godhood is accelerating as
knowledge increases (Daniel 12.4), a
striving that promises human
enhancements, genetic modification,
and prolonged life as well as the
populace control necessary to form a
unified society. These two trends,
revitalized paganism and advanced
technology, are merging, and as we
pass through the proverbial door of
technological “salvation,” we find the
outstretched hands of the gods,
promising an existence of peace, love,
and harmony. They promise a period in
which mankind takes the next step in
evolution and finds the god within.
Those who follow this thinking call this
metamorphosis enlightenment. Those
who have eyes to see and ears to hear
call it the great delusion (2 Thess. 2.11).
Besides the merging of
technology and paganism, there are yet
two more elements emerging for the
Antichrist’s future kingdom; they are
political and economic globalization.
One example of political globalization is
9 (continued on page 55)
the United Nations, which supports
multiple New Age organizations and
foundations. Within the headquarters
of the United Nations is The
Meditation Room. It is built in the
shape of a truncated pyramid. As its
name implies, the United Nations goal is
to unite the nations, just as the people
were unified at Babel. The United
Nations wishes to replace the true God
with a unified religion. Dr. Robert
Muller, Secretary of ECOSOC, said the
following at the UN’s twentieth
anniversary of The Meditation Room:
“Meditation, prayer, dream, hope,
vision, guidance, foreseeing and
planning all go hand in hand in so
many different ways at the U.N.
For me the tall building of the U.N.
is an edifice of human hope and
dream jutting into the universe
and receiving from that universe
increasingly clearer messages.
Perhaps we have reached a time
of cosmic evolution. Little by
little, a planetary prayer book is
being composed by an
increasingly united humanity
seeking its oneness, its
happiness, its consciousness and
its full participation in the
continuous process of creation”
(Arrowsmith 285).
As Dr. Muller so blatantly
describes, he sees the UN building
itself in terms reminiscent of the Tower
of Babel: “. . . the tall building of the
UN is an edifice of human hope and
dream jutting into the universe and
receiving from that universe
increasingly clearer messages.”
Whether by “cosmic evolution,” as Dr.
Muller states, or by more political
means, the move toward a one world
religion and government can be seen
everywhere. Bible Teacher Alan
Franklin observes:[* File contains

Nothing Beyond the Flesh:
The Theocracy of Prima Materia
Part One
Phillip D. Collins
Anatomy of a Weltanschauungskrieg
H
istorically, humanity has
divided somewhat evenly into
two diametrically opposed
camps: those who subscribe to a
spiritual, theistic Weltanschauung and
those who do not. The philosophical
milieu of ancient Greece illustrates this
division. In the theistic camp, one
would find the likes of Socrates and
Plato. In the atheistic camp, one would
find Democritus and Protagoras. While
the more deistic philosophies
of both Lucretius and Aristotle
might present some exceptions
to this division, one could
convincingly argue that deism
is little more than a
camouflaged form of atheism.
Since the inception of
the anti-theistic and anti-
spiritual Weltanschauung,
numerous permutations of this
philosophical camp have
emerged. Materialists,
behaviorists, physicalists,
functionalists, secular
humanists, and Marxists are
just a few of the resulting
variants. To be sure, the
countless theoreticians of
these different anti-theistic and anti-
spiritual camps have had their
occasional epistemological feuds. Yet,
all share the same core metaphysical
convictions: matter holds primacy and
the ontological plane of the physical
universe constitutes the totality of
reality itself. (In other words, since
ontology is one’s basic conception of
reality, it is the scientific materialist’s
ontological conviction that there is
nothing beyond the physical universe.)
Of course, the anti-theistic and
anti-spiritual Weltanschauung
adamantly opposes most, if not all,
religions. However, most contemporary
movements that have ostensibly

Communism and fascism are two such
cases in point. How does one explain
this paradox? It is this researcher’s
contention that the anti-theistic and
anti-spiritual Weltanschauung was
spawned by an older religion. This
religion is purely occult in character
and, because it acted as the progenitor
for the anti-theistic and anti-spiritual
Weltanschauung, it remains deeply
embedded within the supposedly
secular mind. Thus, even the most
stridently secular movements
are conceptually predisposed
to religious thought and
behavior. Ultimately, the anti-
theistic and anti-spiritual
Weltanschauung is designed
to relocate the Eschaton of
Heaven and Hell within the
ontological plane of the
physical universe.
Simultaneously, it relocates
God within man himself. The
final result is an ideology of
control devoted to the
transformation of prima
materia and a secular religion
devoted to the apotheosis of
man.
Secular Humanism: The Religion of
Man Apotheosized
To be sure, not every claim of
paranormal or supernatural experience
is genuine. More than a few have been
the products of sensationalism and
superstition. However, the outright
rejection of all extraordinary
possibilities is symptomatic of
epistemological rigidity, which can
stultify the broadening of human
knowledge and the expansion of
methods for scientific inquiry. While
institutionally accredited science has
typically shunned the paranormal and
supernatural, segments of the scientific
establishment are beginning to
acknowledge the centrality of
nonperceptible entities to the
10
examination of perceptible phenomena.
In fact, many theoretical physicists and
biophysicists have observed that
science and mysticism are assuming
convergent trajectories. Scientific
materialists typically suppress such
contentions.
Regular viewers of the
National Geographic channel have
probably already noticed the cable
station’s overall prejudice against the
belief in a supernatural reality and a
transcendent God. Members of CISCOP
(Committee for the Scientific
Investigation of Claims of the
Paranormal) routinely appear on
National Geographic programs,
offering so-called “scientifically
credible explanations” for otherwise
unexplained phenomena. What the
National Geographic channel fails to
mention is the fact that CISCOP
members are already ideologically
predisposed to reject God and the
supernatural. Many CISCOP members
are also secular humanists. To
understand what secular humanists
believe, one needs look no further than
1973’s second Humanist Manifesto for
a succinct synopsis:
“As in 1933, humanists still
believe that traditional theism,
especially faith in a prayer-hearing
God, assumed to love and care for
personas, to hear and understand
their prayers, and to be able to do
something about them, is an
unproved and outmoded faith.
Salvationism, based on mere
affirmation, still appears as
harmful, diverting people with
false hopes of heaven hereafter.
Reasonable minds look to other
means of survival” (Humanist).
Encapsulated within this declaration is
the anthropocentric aphorism of
Protagoras: “Man is the measure of all
things . . .” Human reason dethrones
God and becomes the chief facilitator
for man’s salvation. Salvation is
redefined within a purely Darwinian
context as survival, and the continuity
of the species becomes synonymous
with immortality. If this
Weltanschauung seems religious in
character, it is because it is actually the
second oldest faith in existence.

Whittaker Chambers, former member of
the communist underground in
America, eloquently observes,
“Humanism is not new. It is, in fact,
man’s second oldest faith. Its promise
was whispered in the first days of
Creation under the Tree of the
knowledge of Good and Evil: ‘Ye shall
be as gods’” (qtd. in Baker 206).
Simply stated, humanism is
the religion of self-deification. Its god
is Man, spelled with a capital M to
connote the purported divinity intrinsic
to humanity. Atheism provides the
philosophical segue for the
enthronement of man as god. This
enthronement begins with the
recognition of a significant paradox
inherent to atheism. Authors Ron
Carlson and Ed Decker explain:
“It is philosophically impossible
to be an atheist, since to be an
atheist you must have infinite
knowledge in order to know
absolutely that there is no God.
But to have infinite knowledge,
you would have to be God
yourself. It’s hard to be God
yourself and an atheist at the same
time!” (17).
Indeed, to conclude with all certainty
that there is no transcendent God
outside the ontological plane of the
physical universe, one must first claim
omniscience. However, omniscience is
a trait reserved exclusively for deities.
Therefore, the claimant must conclude
that he or she is a god. In this sense,
atheism is not the rejection of a deity,
but rather, it is the belief in an emergent
deity. The god that is gradually
evolving is Man himself, and his
development is guided by his own
cognitive powers.
Again, this belief is nothing
new. It was central to the religious
doctrines of the ancient Mystery cults,
which were prominent in Babylon and
Egypt. Ever present was the theme of
humanity made divine through the
enthronement of man’s reason. S.
Angus contends that the central theme
of the Mystery religions was “that the
march of mankind is Godward” (43). Of
course, not every adherent of the
Mysteries necessarily subscribed to
this doctrine of apotheosis. Numerous
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
motives compelled people to accept the
religion. Angus wisely observes:
“Men entered the Mystery-cults
for different purposes: there were
all degrees of belief and unbelief,
morality and laxity, mysticism and
realism. The carnal could find in
orgiastic processions and
midnight revels opportunities for
self-indulgence; the superstitious
would approach because of the
magical value attributed to the
formulae and sacraments; the
educated could, in the material
and physical, perceive symbols of
the truth dear to his heart; the
ascetic would look upon initiation
as a means of buffeting his body
and giving freedom to the spirit;
the mystic would in enthusiasm
or ecstasy enjoy the beatific
vision by entering into
communion with God or by
undergoing deification” (42).
Thus, only the most ardent mystics
accepted the inner doctrine of
apotheosis. For the more carnally
inclined, such doctrine was seldom
acknowledged. In fact, few were even
aware of it. The ultimate objective of
self-deification was veiled by secrecy
and semiotic manipulation:
“The secrecy with which the
Mysteries terminated behind the
veil of the temple, compared with
the publicity with which they
generally commenced in the
streets, is explicable from the fact
that the things ‘done’ or ‘said’
were not the things actually to be
revealed but merely symbolic
means of conveying the intended
truth to the minds of the votaries”
(Angus 62).
A similar culture of
obscurantism exists in Freemasonry,
which acts as the retainer of the ancient
Mystery religion. In fact, humanism and
Masonry have shared a long historical
relationship. In The Keys of This Blood,
deceased Vatican insider Malachi
Martin examines the emergence of “a
network of Humanist associations”
throughout early-Renaissance Italy
(518-19). These organizations
represented “a revolt against the
traditional interpretation of the Bible as
11
maintained by the ecclesiastical and
civil authorities, and against the
philosophical and theological
underpinnings provided by the Church
for civil and political life” (Martin 519).
Although these groups espoused an
ostensible belief in God, their notions
of a Supreme Being were largely a
derivative of the Kabbala. As Martin
states:
“Not surprisingly given such an
animus, these associations had
their own conception of the
original message of the Bible and
of God’s revelation. They latched
onto what they considered to be
an ultrasecret body of knowledge,
a gnosis, which they based in part
on cultic and occultist strains
deriving from North Africa--
notably, Egypt--and, in part, on
the classical Jewish Kabbala”
(519).
In Morals and Dogma, 33 rd Degree
Freemason Albert Pike reveals that “all
the Masonic associations owe to it [the
Kabbala] their Secrets and their
Symbols” (744). Conversely, according
to Martin the early humanists modified
this ancient Hebraic doctrine
considerably.
“Whether out of historical
ignorance or willfulness of both,
Italian humanists bowdlerized the
idea of Kabbala almost beyond
recognition. They reconstructed
the concept of gnosis, and
transferred it to a thoroughly this-
worldly plane. The special gnosis
they sought was a secret
knowledge of how to master the
blind forces of nature for a
sociopolitical purpose” (519-20).
However, many of the
semiotic artifacts comprising the early
humanists’ iconography and jargon
were directly related to Masonry.
“Initiates of those early humanist
associations were devotees of the

very year on October 31, skeletons, witches, rock n’
roll stars, US Presidents, and a variety of innocent
masked characters run rampant through the streets
looking for sweet treats to fill their goody bags. You can
hear them ringing doorbells and screaming like banshees
the old familiar, “trick or treat!” Then after they get the treat,
they give the trick anyway: smashing
lifeless pumpkins while running and
singing their favorite scary tunes. The
one that stands out to me most is “Who
Ya Gonna Call?”, with its unforgettable,
bellowed response, “Ghostbusters!”
Long before the movie
Ghostbusters came out, I was already
acquainted with the term. My Granddad
told and retold stories of his earlier days
as a “Spook Hunter.” He was a young
man in the early 1900’s, a period when
times were hard and money was scarce.
There was a lot of superstition back then,
and one job no one wanted was ghost
hunting or “going up against the dead.”
So he took odd jobs exploring
unexplained phenomena. After all, he
was not named John Boone for nothing, after Daniel Boone,
the brave and renowned frontiersman who was known to
have smiled a bear right down out of a tree.
Anyway, according to Grandpa, he was paid good
money back then to spend the night in creaky, old barns;
abandoned houses; and dark, damp basements. Other times
he bartered for food, supplies, and other necessities. It was
not that he had set out in life to become a “spirit seeker,” but
after having solved a few ghostly rumblings, his reputation
for ruling out supernatural inhabitants preceded him. Before
he knew it, he became known as a Ghostbuster. More times
than not, there were simple, logical explanations for the so-
called “hauntings,” some of them quite humorous. Once the
neighborhood “bogeyman” supposedly inhabited an old,
empty cabin. Every time someone would look into buying
the house, they would hear a strange knocking under the
floor, and folks immediately gave credit to poltergeists. Soon,
word had spread that the house was haunted. It turned out
to be a mangy stray dog trapped underneath the floorboards.
His fleas were relentless after dark, and the poor old canine
scratched and thumped all through the night.
Another time Grandpa single handedly captured a
couple of “dangerous runaway convicts” in an old attic.
Well, as the story ends, these “convicts” were actually a
talking, fugitive parrot. The bird mimicked local outlaws
“Sam” and “Gus” and discussed their plans to rob banks.
No one had the guts to investigate the vile voices or the
sporadic bumps in the night.
Though most of the tales were easily resolved, there
were a few mysteries Grandpa could not explain: situations
13
where he scratched his head while walking away, as baffled
as those who had called him to the bewildering arena. Years
later, he held the grandkids spellbound as he retold these
numerous tales of Ghostbusting and mystery solving.
I was entertained by all of the stories, satisfied by
those that were solved, but I remember wondering about
those unsettled tales. Many times I have thought, “Is there
such things as ghosts: mournful, disembodied spirits
searching for unsuspecting humans to posses? Could there
actually be desperate demons frantically
grasping for a carnal host or spirits of
those that are trapped between Heaven
and Hell, searching for release by making
peace with their demise? No doubt, these
are questions we have all pondered at
one time or another. Since the beginning
of time, there have been reports of ghouls
and ghosts from within every culture.
One of the most intriguing
episodes of such spirits is outlined in I
Samuel 28.11-20:
“Then said the woman, Whom shall I
bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring
me up Samuel. And when the woman saw
Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and
the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why
hast thou deceived me? For thou art Saul.
And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what
sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw
gods ascending out of the earth. And he said unto her,
What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh
up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived
that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the
ground, and bowed himself. And Samuel said to Saul,
Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And
Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines
make war against me, and God is departed from me, and
answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by
dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest
make known unto me what I shall do. Then said Samuel,
Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD
is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy”
(emphasis added) (King James Version, 1 Sam. 28.11-
20)?
If taken literally, this is Samuel speaking, not a demon, or a
familiar spirit. Saul is absolutely convinced it is Samuel, and
the Scripture does not correct this point of view. The medium
is also certain it is Samuel and not a ghoulish imposter. What
do you think?

Ed Wood, the Prophet

or
Why the Apocalypse Will Be More Like
Plan 9 From Outer Space Than Left Behind
by Derek P. Gilbert

F
ew works (including the Bible) have influenced the concepts modern
Christians hold of the prophesied end times like Left Behind. This series of
novels created by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins has spawned a mini-
industry of apocalyptic spin-off novels and movies and soon a first person shooter
computer game. (I’ll leave the disturbing implications of this newest development
for another time.)
The flagship Left Behind series has sold over 75 million units to date, far
and away the most successful Christian fiction title ever. In fact, Messrs. LaHaye
and Jenkins deserve a healthy share of credit for the surge in sales of Christian
fiction novels over the last ten years. How ironic then that a man who is arguably
the worst storyteller of the last century came much closer to predicting the shape
of the Apocalypse than Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins.
A Passion for Angora
Edward D. Wood, Jr. was born in 1924 in Poughkeepsie, New York. Like
so many men of his generation, Wood was drafted and served with distinction in
WWII. He was one of 400 US survivors of the invasion of Tarawa, during which
3,600 other soldiers died.After a stint as a carnival geek, Wood moved to California
and began offering his services as a scriptwriter and director to anyone who
would sit still for a pitch. His persistence paid off with an opportunity to write and
direct a story inspired by the sex change of Christine Jorgenson, Glen or Glenda.
While the film offers a fascinating insight into his own personality, as he himself
enjoyed cross-dressing, it also reveals the near total lack of talent that would be
the hallmark of his career.
Wood’s style was perfectly suited to the B-movie genre; he wrote his
own scripts and worked fast, churning out as many as thirty scenes a day, often
in one take. (Standard practice in Hollywood today is to shoot no more than two
or three scenes in one day.) His career might have left no mark on Hollywood at
all, much less on American culture, had it not been for a couple of odd details that
were featured in Tim Burton’s 1994 classic, Ed Wood.
As was alluded above, one of Wood’s quirks was his fondness for
dressing in pumps, narrow skirts, and angora sweaters. Speculation abounds,
but no one really knows why he chose to dress this way. Despite this peculiarity,
Wood was actually considered a bit of a ladies’ man, and he remained faithful to
the women in his life. A second oddity about Wood is that he somehow met and
befriended the aging and drug-addicted Bela Lugosi, long removed from his
glory days during the 1930s when he and Boris Karloff defined movie horror.
Lugosi had starred in two of Wood’s films, Glen or Glenda and Bride of the
Monster. But it was Lugosi’s final film appearance that was to be Wood’s crowning
achievement.

Grave Robbers from Beverly Hills

In 1959 Wood’s persistence and infectious optimism served him well, as
he managed to secure financing from the Baptist Church of Beverly Hills for a
new movie starring Bela Lugosi. His pitch, apparently, was that the church could
take its seed money, invest in a surefire winner, and then use the profits to do the
Lord’s work. From this bizarre partnership sprang Wood’s magnum opus, Plan 9
from Outer Space.

14

Plan 9 bears the honor of
being dubbed “Worst Film” of all time
by Michael and Harry Medved in their
1980 book The Golden Turkey Awards.
(I disagree; Manos: The Hands of Fate
and The Beast of Yucca Flats, which,
coincidentally, features Plan 9 costar
Tor Johnson, are much, much worse—
but I digress.) The film was originally
titled Grave Robbers from Outer Space,
but it was renamed because
Wood’s backers considered
this title sacrilegious.
The production itself
is a clinic in how not to make a
movie. Fixing all of the goofs,
continuity errors, and cheap
production values would
require remaking the entire film.
The string attached to the top
of a wobbly UFO in one of the
opening scenes is the least of
Plan 9’s mistakes. Even so,
hidden beneath this veneer of
shoddy filmmaking, Plan 9 puts
forward prophetic truths that
are sadly missing from the Left
Behind series, truths that we
should use to guide us in the
coming final showdown
between God and the rebel
angels. These truths are
outlined as follows:
1. Don’t Trust Aliens.
In Plan 9, the ETs
intend to take over the
Earth. If we have learned
anything from the thousands of
reports from experiencers, it is that
Wood’s understanding of the
hostile intentions of the “visitors”
was correct. Those with a biblical
worldview understand the reason
for these visitors’ hostility: ETs are
actually fallen angels. Humans
were given dominion over the Earth
and the right to judge the angels
someday (1 Cor. 6.3), and to many
of these heavenly hosts (about a
third of them, according to John),
this is apparently intolerable. As a
result, they are willing to do or say
anything to derail God’s plan. A
snippet of dialogue between the
protagonist and his wife suggests
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
that Ed was fully aware of the origin
of the film’s visitors:
Paula Trent: “A flying saucer?
You mean the kind from up there?”
Jeff Trent: “Yeah, either that or
its counterpart.”
In other words, the character Jeff Trent
asserts that the “flying saucer” is from
another dimension, either heaven or
hell. In contrast, the Left Behind series,
like most Christian literature, completely
ignores the UFO phenomenon.
2. Extending the Span of Human Life
by Unnatural Means is Not
Necessarily a Good Thing.
The “plan nine” of Wood’s
film describes a scheme to reanimate
corpses—a stock theme of horror and
science fiction literature since the days
of Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker,
inspired by such tales as the legend of
the golem and the myth of Osiris.
Indeed, resurrection of the dead has
been a core Judeo-Christian belief since
ancient times (Job 19.25-27). The key,
however, is that the timing and method
is God’s.
15
In Plan 9, the resurrected
corpses are slow and stupid (traits
exhibited by most movie zombies that
render them pretty much useless for
conquering the Earth). Even so, there
is no question that these unnaturally
revived creatures are just plain evil.
Jesus told His disciples that one of the
signs of His imminent return was that it
would be “just as it was in the days of
Noah” (Luke 17.26). The one
feature unique to Noah’s time
that is being repeated today
is the modification of human
DNA. We are told the
experimentation in genetics
labs is for the betterment of
mankind and the billions
being spent on stem cell
research and gene therapies
will someday eliminate
disease. Better still, we are
told the new technologies will
allow us to actually
transcend the limits of our
humanity. We will live longer
and be stronger, smarter, and
healthier with each passing
generation. In effect, we will
remove the barrier between
God and ourselves.
While this field of science is
basically still in its infancy,
chimeras possessing a blend
of human and animal DNA
have already been created.
We are told that genetic
engineering is necessary
research. Even worse, scientists in
England have pointed out that the
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer process
requires so many eggs that the time has
come to consider using the eggs of
cattle, pigs, or rabbits in order to ensure
a constant supply of “human” stem cells
for research.
In Noah’s time, the method
was, shall we say, a bit less clinical, but
the goal was the same. To borrow a line
from Wood’s other Bela Lugosi feature,
Bride of the Monster, the fallen angels
wanted to create “a race of atomic
supermen which will conquer the
world!” According to the Book of
Enoch, the Watchers gained the
cooperation of humanity by sharing
forbidden technology, trading

knowledge for our help in bringing
about our own destruction. The result
was an army of nephilim, which nearly
destroyed mankind before the global
flood of Noah.
Need it be mentioned that
genetic research holds great interest for
the militaries of the world? Much time
and money has been invested into
developing soldiers capable of running
faster, jumping higher, and fighting
longer with less food and sleep. Is the
true purpose of genetic engineering the
regeneration of the nephilim, an army
to oppose the returning Messiah at the
Valley of Megiddo?
The parallels between the
giants who walked the Earth in the days
of Noah and the direction of today’s
genetic research are striking. While
Plan 9 does not go beyond simply the
danger of tinkering with the natural
order of things, the Left Behind books
completely ignore the role that the
transgenic and transhumanist
movements will play in the coming
cosmic showdown.
3. Flying Saucers are Unreliable
Transportation.
Flying saucers have an
annoying tendency to crash. The most
famous, of course, is the downed craft
at Roswell, New Mexico, 1947;
although, it is not universally agreed
as to whether the ship was of
extraterrestrial, extradimensional, or
Nazi origin. There are others, and I am
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
admittedly not an expert on recovered
UFOs, so I will not list them here. The
point is that the similarities to Plan 9 in
this regard are obvious—the alien craft
in Wood’s film eventually crashes in a
spectacular (by the standards of 1930s
special effects—which is too bad, since
the film was not released until 1959)
conflagration. Indeed, the alien ships
in the film are so unsafe they need wires
to keep them aloft!
There is an obvious
contradiction inherent in the UFO
phenomenon. Are we to believe that
ETs successfully crossed the vast
ebony gulf of interstellar space, braving
radiation, debris, and an enormous fuel
bill, only to crash into their intended
destination? Certainly, this indicates
fallibility associated with finite, organic
beings such as us, which offers some
comfort in the face of the visitors’
obviously superior technology.
16
But what if it is all a ruse?
What if the purpose of crashing a few
craft and leaving them for examination
is intended to convince humankind that
our guests are biological rather than,
as I believe, extra- or pan-dimensional?
Either way, the phenomenon of
unidentified spacecraft crashing into
the earth is one more important point
that was completely ignored by the
creators of Left Behind.
The Future: Where You and I Are
Going to Spend the Rest of Our Lives
Now, as much as I would like
to think that Edward D. Wood, Jr. was
clever enough to conceal a brilliant
prophetic vision beneath a façade of
bad filmmaking, just as our “visitors”
have concealed their true natures and
intentions by sacrificing a few high-tech
flying ships, I have to be honest—he
really was a bad filmmaker. But in spite
of his breathtaking ability to spin
cinematic lead out of, well, absolutely
nothing, Wood managed to produce a
glimpse of eschatological insight with
Plan 9 from Outer Space. There is no
doubt that however he conceived his
apocalyptic vision of the coming end
of days, whether by divine revelation
or through a simple desire to exploit the
last film footage ever shot of Bela
Lugosi, Edward D. Wood, Jr. somehow
left behind a more plausible scenario
for the prophesied cosmic end game

Christian Theology
and an ET Reality,
Part 1: The Historical Background
By Michael S. Heiser, PhD

I
n the inaugural issue of ANOMALOS (now titled OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE), I
addressed why Christians should care about ufology. In the course of that
discussion, I overviewed a host of worldview and theological issues that
would require attention from thoughtful Christians should an intelligent
extraterrestrial reality ever become known with certainty. My aim over the next
several issues is to revisit my overview and focus on each individual issue raised
therein.
It is most appropriate to commence this multi-part examination with the
focus of this article on the history of the Christian perspective on extraterrestrial
life. In much of the contemporary evangelical Church, the possibility of an
intelligent extraterrestrial reality is typically either dismissed as intrinsically
incompatible with the Bible and biblical theology or is avoided due to a presumed
link with demonology. However, the Christian view has not always existed within
these perimeters.

This debate predates the time of Jesus, having been traced to the
discussions of the Greek philosophers known as atomists. The most noteworthy
of the atomists concerning this topic were Democritus (ca. 450 BC), Epicurus
(341-270 BC), and Lucretius (99-55 BC). To give a brief overview of the atomists’
beliefs:
“the word ‘atom’ is used in two distinct divisions: the atoms of physical
science, and that of philosophy. Atomism is traditionally associated
with the latter, where philosophers have argued that the basic building
blocks of reality, and which make up absolutely anything that exists, are
incredibly tiny objects that do not have physical parts, cannot be split,
divided or cut, and which are either point-sized (size less) or they have
a tiny size.”2

Since at least some atoms had come together to compose earth and its
living things, and since there is an infinite number of atoms in the cosmos, to the
atomists it stood to reason that some of the infinite number of atoms could have
also come together in a multitude of other possible combinations beyond the
earth. The atomists further argued that this potentiality was surely destined to
become reality. The result was that the idea of other worlds was viewed as not
only coherent, but inevitable.

The atomist position was obviously not rooted in empirical science,

articulated as it was in a prescientific era (at least in terms of astronomical
technology). Like the more well-known deists of the modern Enlightenment period,
Epicurus and Lucretius objected to the ancient idea that the gods interfered in
human affairs. For philosophical consistency, their alternative required the
elimination of the gods from creation. Atomism gave them a completely
materialistic (“matter only”) view of the universe. There was no need for a divine
creator of nature when everything in the universe came into being “as a result of
the chance jostling of brute matter (a.k.a., atoms).”3

18

However, the famous Greek
philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC)
disagreed with such speculations of the
atomists. And, like Aristotle, Plato also
held that there were no other worlds.
The writings of these philosophical
giants, particularly Aristotle, became
extremely influential in Christian circles.
Their influence lasted for centuries and
is one reason why the Church initially
took a negative view on the idea of
other worlds and ET life.
Plato and Aristotle denied that
there could be other worlds for several
reasons. Plato believed the earth was
simply unique. Aristotle believed that
the other planets were of a completely
different substance than the earth and
held that the universe must be finite.
With respect to the latter, it was common
among the ancient Greeks and Romans
to think of the “world” as a central Earth
with its Moon and Sun plus the five
planets and the fixed stars. This idea
may sound strange, but it is reflected
in the biblical Greek word kosmos, which
commentators frequently (and
correctly) point out as meaning much
more than the planet earth. For example,
in Acts 17.24, Paul speaks of “the God
who made the kosmos [emphasis added]
and everything in it.”4 Paul is arguing
that the true God is the creator of
everything that is, and so the word
kosmos here means more than our pale
blue dot of a planet.
Given this notion that the
earth, moon, planets, and stars were
“the world,” another odd-sounding
argument of Aristotle and Plato makes
more sense to the modern ear: if “the
created world were a composite (i.e.,
there were other worlds), it would be
subject to dissolution and decay.” 5
Obviously, in their prescientific age,
these sages knew nothing of entropy.
Lastly, by way of this brief summary,
Aristotle’s well-accepted (among
Christian creationists) notion of a Prime
Mover (single pre-existent creator)
compelled him to reject other worlds.
For Aristotle, the Prime Mover lived on
the edge of the known universe. If there
were worlds beyond the known planets
(the known kosmos), this would mean
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
there had to be another Mover—
something philosophically impossible
for Aristotle.
It is obvious, despite
Aristotle’s recognized brilliance, that
these arguments make little sense given
what is known today about the
universe. One can only speculate how
Aristotle’s views might have differed if
he had the scientific knowledge
available today.
Aristotle’s views, of course,
did not go unchallenged. The
Epicureans (followers of the atomomist
Epicurus) did not buy his approach for
a second. They believed that there were
in fact other worlds, but these worlds
were unseen by humans. Yet, Aristotle
won the day and his influence held
sway over most structured learning and
the Church well into the Middle Ages.
Medieval Catholicism
One of Aristotle’s most
famous intellectual descendants was
the Oxford-educated Franciscan,
William of Ockham (1280-1347). Ockham
asked whether the First Cause (the
Prime Mover) could create multiple
worlds. Ockham’s answer may seem to
go against the beliefs of his teacher, but
in reality, it really does not. In his
reasoning, Ockham created an analogy
to the known world. He noted that just
as earthly life forms (say, a tree) could
sprout up in “non-natural” environs
(like water), so might other worlds
“sprout up” outside the natural environ
of the known world through the agency
of the Prime Mover. It was possible,
then, that were other worlds. But for
Ockham, an equally significant question
was whether this was probable.
Ockham believed that entities would
not be multiplied needlessly. Since the
Prime Mover was seemingly interested
only in this planet (recall the geocentric
notion), the simplest answer (Ockham’s
razor) was that there were no other
worlds. The most famous medieval
theologian, Saint Thomas Aquinas,
agreed, especially since he associated
the idea of a plurality of worlds with
the supporters of chance (see his
Summa Theologica, pars I, q. 47, a .3).6
19
However, not all medieval
thinkers agreed. In fact, the Middle
Ages marked a turning point in the
Christian attitude toward the
possibility of there being other worlds.
In 1277 a theological conflict within the
Medieval Catholic church resulted in
the famous (or for Thomists infamous)
219 Propositions. These propositions
were issued by the Bishop of Paris,
Etienne Tempier. Proposition 27
condemns all who hold the Aristotelian
position that the first cause cannot
make more than one world. The
reasoning behind Proposition 27 was
linked to the idea that any denial of
other worlds impinged upon the
doctrine of omnipotence. This reversal
in position echoed an earlier notion of
the principle of plenitude, which argued
that what is possible in nature tends to
become realized. However, this
affirmation for the possibility of other
worlds’ existence fell short of actually
declaring that there could be intelligent
life on those other planets.
It would take another two centuries
before the Church embraced that
postulate.
By the middle of the fifteenth
century, the principle of plenitude led
some Christian thinkers to approve the
idea of the existence of extraterrestrial
life. In his On Learned Ignorance (1440),
Nicholas of Cusa argued that “. . . [L]ife,
as it exists here on earth in the form of
men, animals and plants, is to be found,
let us suppose, in a higher form in the
solar and stellar region. [. . .] The
inhabitants of other stars, wherever
they are, do not have any proportion
with the inhabitants of our world, also
if their whole region is in a concealed
proportion with our own, for the finality
of the universe [. . .] But, since this
region remains unknown to us, also its
inhabitants remain completely
unknown to us.”7
The sixteenth century saw
more of the same openness, especially
in the wake of the heliocentric universe
championed by Nicholas Copernicus.
Copernicus argued not only did the sun-
centered universe displace human life
as the center of the universe, but also,
the sun-centered universe implied that
the stars were suns like our own. This

idea prompted Dominican monk
Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) to propose
that there might be an infinite number
of suns with inhabited planets. By this
time, however, Church officials were in
a less tolerant mood. Bruno took the
idea that God’s omnipotence allowed
the possibility of other worlds to two
more extreme positions: (1) those
worlds were likely inhabited by
intelligent beings; (2) God’s
omnipotence and infinitude required
that there be an infinite number of such
inhabited worlds. Bruno was arrested
in 1592, his works were anathematized,
and in 1600 he was burned at the stake.
ET, the Reformation, and the Modern
Era
In view of the influential
thinkers within Catholicism who had
weighed in on the extraterrestrial
question, Protestant Reformers were
obliged to respond. Protestantism’s
emphasis on the authority of Scripture
typically prompted its spokesmen to
take a negative stance. In 1578 L.
Danaeus stated that the idea of life on
other planets should not be accepted
since it is not taught in Scripture.8 This
argument was quite problematic though,
since Scripture does not mention the
known planets. Philip Melanchthon
argued against the plurality of worlds
Available at www.theUFOstore.com
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
“because their inhabitants might be left
without a knowledge of Christ or that
his death and resurrection might have
been required more than once.”9 (It is
important to note: Melanchthon’s
reasoning that the presence of an
intelligent ET is impossible due to the
doctrines of the incarnation,
redemption, and salvation foreshadows
the forceful use of this same objection
by the famous non-Christian (deist)
writer Thomas Paine.)
Other Christian writers
followed Melanchthon. The arguments
behind this objection to an ET reality
will be fully examined in a future article.
Suffice it for now to say that this
objection was not an issue among most,
if not all, Christians prior to the
Reformation. As such, it should not be
given the weight it often is, and as will
be discussed in another issue, the
arguments supporting this objection
are not terribly coherent.
As was the case historically
with Catholicism, there were two sides
to the ET debate within Protestantism.
As science journalist Fred Heeren
notes, several prominent Protestant
preachers became devoted to the idea
that there could be intelligent
extraterrestrial life, among them

American Puritan preacher Cotton
Mather (seventeenth century), Yale
president/minister Timothy Dwight
(eighteenth century), and the grandson
of Jonathan Edwards.10 The Scottish
preacher and mathematician Thomas
Chalmers (early nineteenth century)
also promoted this idea.11 By way of
illustrating an accepted Protestant
position, consider Timothy Dwight’s
sentiment: “it is most rationally
concluded that intelligent beings in
great multitudes inhabit [the moon’s]
lucid regions, being far better and
happier than ourselves.”12
During the seventeenth,
eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries,
the rise in astronomical science and
improved technology for observing the
heavens led (perhaps inevitably) to a
spike in enthusiasm for the idea that
there are a plethora of other worlds that
are inhabited by intelligent beings. A
number of prominent scientists
embraced this possibility: Sir William
Rowan Hamilton (1805-1856), Sir David
Brewster (1781-1868), François Arago
(1786-1853), and J. Norman Lockyer. As
François Plisson, a French physician
and critic of extraterrestrial mania, wrote
in 1847, “Almost all the astronomers of
our day, and the most eminent among
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE

them, freely adopt the opinions that not
long ago were viewed as being able to
spring only from the mind of a
madman.”13 As Benjamin Wiker points
out in his essay on the history of the
ET life debate:
“The 18th century was a time of
transition for the West, from a
Christianized culture to a
secularized culture. Deism,
standing midway between
Christianity and atheism, was the
religion of transition. To be more
exact, deism was the religion of
the Newtonians. At the end of the
17th century, Newton had used
the materialist atomism, ultimately
rooted in the thought of Epicurus
and Lucretius, as a foundation for
his geometrical account of nature.
As a result, the closest Newton
could come to Christianity was
deism, in which a distant god
created the atoms and gave them
an initial shove. The Incarnation
was simply jettisoned as
cosmologically incompatible and
therefore irrelevant.”14
Newton’s law of universal
gravitation implied the universality of
natural laws. From this compelling
proposition it was extrapolated that
other stars might have their own
planetary systems that could sustain
life just as Earth. This logic is basically
the same as that found today among
evolutionary proponents in the field of
astronomy. This issue as well will be
the subject of another article. For now,
take note that this supposition does not
derive from evolution, since the
evolutionary approach to origins would
have to wait another century for its
debut via Charles Darwin.
During the above mentioned
centuries (seventeenth, eighteenth,
and nineteenth), Christians joined the
bandwagon, determined not to let the
deists monopolize the discussion. The
English Bishop John Wilkins argues in
favor of an inhabited moon in his book,
Discovery of a World in the Moone
(1638). Wilkins suggests that intelligent
beings on other worlds need not be like
humans—fallen from grace, but even if
they were fallen, Christ could have died
for them also. (Once again there is this
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
concern regarding the perceived
problem of “alien redemption.”15) Also,
Anglican theologians discussed the
possibility of extraterrestrial life in terms
of natural theology.16 Finally, English
theologian Robert Jenkin tried to relate
other worlds to a Christian view:
“I observe, that though it should
be granted, that some Planets be
habitable, it doth not therefore
follow, that they must be actually
inhabited, or that they ever have
been. [. . .] And since the fall and
mortality of mankind, they may be
either for mansions of the
righteous, or places of
punishment for the wicked, after
the resurrection. [. . .] And in the
meantime, being placed at their
respective distances, they do by
their several motions contribute
to keep the world at a poise, and
the several parts of it at an
equilibrium in their gravitation
upon each other, by Mr. Newton’s
principles.”17
Of particular influence, at least
in Europe, was the nineteenth century
theological work of Joseph Pohle,
entitled Stellar Worlds and Their
Inhabitants (Die Sternenwelten und
ihre Bewohner, 1884). In this book,
Pohle argues for the reality of a plurality
based on the vastness of the physical
universe. Pohle believes the reason the
universe was created to be so vast was
so that creation could give glory to
God. The best way for the universe to
accomplish this apparent divine
intention, says Pohle, would be to have
it populated by millions of intelligent
beings dispersed throughout the
cosmos. 18 Pohle’s thesis gained
considerable weight in Catholic circles
due to its reiteration in one of the most
widely diffused European theological
textbooks of the twentieth century (M.
Schmaus, Katolische Dogmatik,
Munich 1957, vol. II, n. 109). Although
Pohle could be faulted for overstating
his case and pressing his logic, at the
very least the idea that the Creator’s
greatness and glory are compatible
with intelligent life in the cosmos is
coherent.
The 19th Century Turning Point
22
By now it should be clear that
the question of ET life has not always
been met with hostility and suspicion
within the Church. Theologically
conservative Catholic and Protestant
thinkers were amenable to the idea.
Today, of course, the situation is not
the same. The reasons for this
antagonism have been hinted at in this
discussion, namely the extension of
Newton’s “natural laws” to the vast
universe, which in turn fosters the
assumption that life might have arisen
elsewhere. By the end of the nineteenth
century, those “natural laws” went well
beyond Newtonian physics to “natural
selection” of Darwinian evolution. It
was one thing to suppose, based on
Newton’s work, that there were other
worlds in space that could sustain life.
It was quite another to assume that life
on earth had arisen by wholly natural
and random processes, and so the same
could be extended to planets elsewhere
in space. In essence, evolutionary
biology piggy-backed off the primary
rationale for the possibility of ET life—
a rationale that had been acceptable to
many Christian theologians. The
theological battles that ensued in the
wake of Darwinism (and which are in
many respects still being fought by
Christians) have understandably
resulted in an almost hyper-sensitivity
to anything associated (rightly or
wrongly) with evolutionary thinking.
And for this reason, the notion of ET
life smells a lot like evolution to many
Christians. Historically and
theologically, though, this amounts to
little more than letting the godless frame
the debate on a subject that has
significant theological importance.

degrees.
Seventy-seven is a number
from biblical narrative associated with
ancient patriarch Lamech. According to
the extra biblical texts the Book of
Jasher, the Talmud, and Midrash,
Lamech accidentally killed Cain. 4
Because Lamech understood God’s
sevenfold curse on anyone harming
Cain, Lamech cursed anyone harming
him 70 plus 7 times. Axiomatically, since
God himself swore to revenge Cain,
Lamech’s curse was directed against
God.
The name “AMERICA” can
be found in the bible spaced 17 letters
apart in Daniel 3.3. This is the shortest
els. (equal distance letter skip) that
appears throughout the entire text from
Genesis to Revelation.5 To this author’s
knowledge, this finding is published
here for the first time.
From the beginning of Daniel
3.3 until the last letter of the name
AMERICA in the text there are 33
Hebrew words. The name AMERICA is
spaced 17 letters apart in 33 words: 33 /
17 = 1.941176479, and 1.941176479 x 2 =
3.88235. By moving the decimal place
to the right one number, the exact
latitude of the Washington DC is found.
After all, 38.8235 decimal degrees is
38.50 degrees in minutes, seconds.
Daniel 3.3-5 reads:
“Then the princes, the governors,
and captains, the judges, the
treasurers, the counsellors, the
sheriffs, and all the rulers of the
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that
Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; an obelisk and they stood before the
image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. Then an herald cried aloud, To you
it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, That at what time ye
hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all
kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that
Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:” (Dan. 3.3-5).
Interestingly, the Washington monument, the largest obelisk in the world, resides
in Washington DC. At 555 feet tall, it is also 6,660 inches tall.6 The date of America’s
founding, 1776, is twice 888—the number in Greek letters for Jesus. The secret
meaning of this date is discovered in the understanding of the two advents of
Jesus Christ. It can be speculated that America’s supernatural purpose according
to the occult elite is to initiate His Second Coming. When Jesus came to the world
the first time His number was 888. When Jesus comes again the number is double:
1776, only, the occult version of Jesus is Lucifer.
The history of Daniel 3.3 is also important. In 587 BC ~ 586 BC
Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the temple in Jerusalem and brought the Jews into
exile in Babylon. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were among the select Jews
who served in the court of Nebuchadnezzar as his counselors. However, these
men refused to worship the obelisk and were thrown into the fiery furnace.
Daniel witnessed the fall of Babylon by King Cyrus in 539 BC ~ 538 BC.
It was Cyrus who released the Jews from captivity to build the temple in Jerusalem.
It is an often unrecognized fact that the name “Cyrus,” the liberator of the Jews,
means “he who possesses the furnace.”7
Because the bible code of America, a country born in 1776, is found in
Daniel 3.3, a relationship seems to exist between America’s founding date and the
chapter and verse of this referenced passage in Daniel: 1776 / 3.3 = 538. As is
mentioned above, 538 BC is the date that Babylon fell by King Cyrus, who freed
the Jews from their exile. Furthermore, 17.76 x 33 = 586: the year that Babylon
destroyed the temple of Jerusalem.
These years can also be calculated using the “77” degree longitude of
Washington DC. This number is a hidden symbol of the Babylon captivity of
Judah: 77.07 x 7.7 - 7 = 586 BC (the beginning of Judah’s exile), and 77 x 7 = 539
BC (the end of Judah’s exile).
There were 7 x 7 years from the early calculation of the exile 587 BC to the
late calculation of the return 538 BC. This means that between the first temple’s
destruction in 587 BC by the Babylonians until the second temple’s destruction
in 70 AD by the Romans there were: 587 BC - 7 x 7 years - 77 x 7 years + 70 AD.
These are all “solar years” of 365 days.
The strange thing is, in biblical 360 day years the same duration is 666 years: 666
x 360 days is 239,760 divided by 365.2425 solar days = 656.44058 solar years
subtracted by 70 AD = 586 BC.
If the numbers of the AMERICA code in Daniel 3.3 are multiplied: 17
spaces x 33 words = 561. It is important to note that 561 BC is a year that is equally
spaced between the destruction of the temple of Jerusalem and the decree by
Cyrus to “rebuild” the temple. In fact, according to the AMERICA code, 561 BC
may have actually been the year in which Nebuchadnezzar erected the obelisk.
Interestingly, America’s founding date factors into the number of the
beast of Revelation in an intriguing way: 1776 + 666 x 6 = 5772. As it just so
happens, 5772 is the Jewish calendar year for 2012. The proportion between the
Jewish year of 2012 and the founding date of America is “hexagonal.” In other
words: 5772 - 666 x 6 = 1776. This proportion can also be broken down in the
following manner:
12 x 333 + 1776 = 5772
5772 x the longitude of Washington DC “77” = 444,444
5772 x the latitude of Washington DC “38.5” =222,222
444,444 + 222,222 = 666,666
33

Using the longitude of the
capital of America there is also a
mathematical suggestion of the coming
year:
1776 + 77 + 77 + 77 = 2007 (3 x 77)
1776 + 38.5 + 38.5 + 38.5 + 38.5 + 38.5 +
38.5 = 2007 (6 x 38.5)
1776 + 33 + 33 + 33 + 33 + 33 + 33 + 33 =
2007 (7 x 33)
The average Hebrew year is
slower by a day every 231 Gregorian
years.
This fact is strange because this
number (231 or 77 x 3) happens to be
the distance in years between 1776 and
2007.
The afore mentioned text of
Daniel 3.3 containing the AMERICA
code and the quoted passage from
Daniel 3.3-5 describes all “nations”
being forced to worship the “image.”
Since America is and historical Babylon
was the nexus of the civilized world and
both are/were “superpowers” to which
all nations are/were obliged to submit
in some respect (whether they
benefit(ed) or not), in this light Daniel
3.3-5 seems not only a record of the
“image worship” event during the
Babylonian exile but also a prophecy
concerning the Antichrist in the same
vein as Matt. 24.15: “When ye therefore
shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand
in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let
him understand):” (Matt. 24.15). Jesus
is referring in this verse to the prophecy
spoken in Daniel 11.31 “. . . and they
shall pollute the sanctuary of strength,
and shall take away the daily sacrifice,
and they shall place the abomination
that maketh desolate” (Dan. 11.31).
This prophecy concerning the
antichrist is mentioned again in
Revelation:
“And deceiveth them that dwell
on the earth by the means of those
miracles which he had power to
do in the sight of the beast;
saying to them that dwell
on the earth, that they should
make an image to the beast, which
had the wound by a sword, and
did live. And he had power to
give life unto the image of the
beast, that the image of the beast
should both speak, and cause that
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
as many as would not worship the
image of the beast should be
killed” (Rev. 13.14-15).
This message of death for those who
refuse to worship the image of the
beast is paralleled in Daniel: “And
whoso falleth not down and
worshippeth shall the same hour be
cast into the midst of a burning fiery
furnace” (Dan. 3.6). In order for this
prophecy to occur, the temple of
Jerusalem must be built, which could
be connected in some way with
America’s influence over Israel or
perhaps only its past influence.
(Daniel 12.11 states that Jewish temple
rituals will be renewed and then
interrupted before the return of
Christ.) The fiery furnace referred to
in Daniel 3.6 was used against the
Jews by conspiring Chaldeans,
meaning “clod-breakers.” These
people were also synonymously the
Babylonians.
The Washington Monument
was designed as a tribute to George
Washington, “George = earth worker,”
i.e. clod breaker. As a 33rd degree Free
Mason, George considered himself (as
do all high-ranking fraternal members
of the order) to be descended from the
line of Cain, the first clod breaker or
farmer and the first murderer.
Looking again at Daniel 3:
“Nebuchadnezzar spake and
said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye
serve my gods, nor worship the golden
image which I have set up? Now if ye
be ready that at what time ye hear the
sound of the cornet, flute, harp,
sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all
kinds of musick, ye fall down and
worship the image which I have made;
well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be
cast the same hour into the midst of a
burning fiery furnace; and who is that
God that shall deliver you out of my
hands” (emphasis added) (Dan. 3.14-
15)?
The word for “music” in
Daniel 3.15 that prompted the worship
of the obelisk has the following
meanings:
a) to trim, prune
b) to be pruned
34
c) to pluck or make music by
plucking or pulling strings. (This
may metaphorically refer to the
artful manipulation of countries
through finance and political
machination.)
“Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego, answered and said to the
king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not
careful to answer thee in this matter. If
it be so, our God whom we serve is able
to deliver us from the burning fiery
furnace, and he will deliver us out of
thine hand, O king. But if not, be it
known unto thee, O king, that we will
not serve thy gods, nor worship the
golden image which thou hast set up.
Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury,
and the form of his visage was changed
against Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego: therefore he spake, and
commanded that they should heat the
furnace one seven times more than it
was wont to be heated” (emphasis
added) (Dan. 3.16-19).
The natural resource that
Nebuchadnezzar used to fuel his
furnace to such high temperatures was
crude oil. It was so plentiful in ancient
Babylon that it collected in large pools
on the ground’s surface. The
Babylonians used it to pave their
streets and hold their walls and
buildings together. Boats along the
Euphrates were constructed with
woven reeds and sealed with pitch. It
was the cheapest and most efficient
fuel known.
“And he commanded the most
mighty men that were in his army to bind
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,
and to cast them into the burning fiery
Furnace. . . . Therefore because
the king’s commandment was urgent,
and the furnace exceeding hot, the
flame of the fire slew those men that
took up Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego. Then Nebuchadnezzar the
king was astonished, and rose up in
haste, and spake, and said unto his
counsellors, Did not we cast three men
bound into the midst of the fire? They
answered and said unto the king, True,
O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see
four men loose, walking in the midst of
the fire, and they have no hurt; and the

form of the fourth is like the Son of God”
(emphasis added) (Dan. 3. 20-25).
The Daniel 3 story paints in
broad strokes the time of Israel’s exile
up until the return of the “Son of God.”
The title “Son of God” is used for the
Messiah in prophecies of His First and
Second Coming throughout Scripture.
The AMERICA code embedded in the
chapter 3 text suggests a metaphorical
link between the imagery of the past
“fire” judgment of the Jewish men in
the furnace, their salvation by God, and
America’s influence over world events
pertaining to the safety and future of
Israel. It also suggests current events
of the pruning of Israel’s land by the
artful political and economic “music”
of America (as was alluded to
previously in this analysis of Daniel 3).
The very next chapter (Daniel
4) focuses on Nebuchadnezzar’s fall
from power through his arrogance: “The
same hour was the thing fulfilled upon
Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven
from men, and did eat grass as oxen,
and his body was wet with the dew of
heaven, till his hairs were grown like
eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’
claws” (Daniel 4.33). Likewise, Saddam
Hussein—who believed he was the
reincarnation of Nebuchadnezzar—was
driven from power through his
arrogance, looking like a wild man as
he was wrestled from his hole in the
ground in modern day Babylon, in
December 2003.
The succeeding chapter,
Daniel 5, deals with Beltshazzar. This
blasphemous King of Babylon toasted
his pagan gods with the Holy vessels
of the temple of Jerusalem, a temple that
no longer existed (as is the situation in
our day). That very hour of the toast
God send part of a hand to compose
writing on the wall that pronounced
Beltshazzar’s doom, which is one of the
most powerful signs to have appeared
from the “hand of God.” Belthazzar’s
fate: an attack by the man whose name
means “possessor of the furnace,”
Cyrus the Great of Persia (now modern
day Iran).
In modern times, America IS
the ruler of Babylon. If the pattern of
bible prophecy can be superimposed
over current events, the King of Persia
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
will move against America’s armies stationed there. After this happens the temple
of Jerusalem will be built as it was after the overthrow of Babylon by Cyrus. It is
uncertain if America will survive as ancient Babylon did. America wields the
greatest power over the earth at present. The culmination of the goals and wealth
from the ancient mystery schools is more closely connected with it than any
other country. Since America resides in ancient Babylon as the ruling force holding
that country together, in looking at Revelation 18, one must wonder about
America’s fate:
“Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and
famine;
and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who
judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived
deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the
smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas,
alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is
thy judgment
come. . . . And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What
city is like unto this great city! . . . And a mighty angel took up a stone like
a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall
that great city
Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all” (Rev. 18.8-10,
18, 21).
Land locked Babylon in Iraq is not in any danger of an ocean wave
generated by a cosmic impact, but America certainly is. The events in our near
future may be a war with Iran as well as a cosmic impact. This may occur together
or as separate events. Though the timing of God is set as has been discerned in
this article, the exact date and year of the last 7 years of history has not been
“fixed” or defined in these calculations. All that can be said for certain is that we
are on the brink of very serious events. The best course of action? “Look up and
lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28.)

 OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE

Revelation Rapture: An Anomaly?

by Patrick Heron

T
he debate rages on. Does the Rapture happen
before, in the middle, or at the end of the Tribulation
period? Is the Body of the Church mentioned in
the Book of Revelation at all? Are Christians ever going
to stop beating one another up over this vexed question?
Coming as I do from the cloistered calms of The Emerald
Isle, little did I realize that brother could castigate brother
so viciously in this civil war of words until I dipped my toes
in the continent of the United States.
This article will trot us through chapter 12 of the Book
of Revelation, otherwise known as the Apocalypse. In doing so, it
will attempt to shed a little more light on when the Rapture will happen
and will add some more colour to the overall picture of what is to come.
At this juncture, may I say that I do not have all the answers and neither do
you. The last guy to have all the answers got out of here almost 2,000 years
ago and has not come back yet. So don’t go getting your knickers in a twist
about who’s right and who’s wrong. After all, “Now we know in part . . . ,” so
we only know part of the story. We will have to wait to get the full version.
In the meantime, let brotherly love abound.
To start with, Revelation 12.1: “And there appeared a great
wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under
her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars” (King James
Version, Rev. 12.1) is an obvious reference to Israel and the Jewish
people when one compares the symbolism of this verse to that of
Joseph’s dream in Genesis 37. 9-10. Joseph says: “. . . Behold, I have
dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the
eleven stars made obeisance to me” (Gen. 37. 9).
However, sometimes prophetic utterances are not so
understandable and have dual or multiple meanings. Moving
on in our study of Revelation, the second verse says, “And
she being with child cried, traveling in birth, and pained to be
delivered” (Rev. 12.2). Of course the woman is Mary, who
brought forth the Messiah. This becomes plain as we read
on:
“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and
behold, a great red dragon having seven heads and ten
horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail
drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast
them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman
who was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as
soon as it was born” (Rev. 12.3-4).
The dragon is, of course, Satan—the Devil, who is the serpent.
The seven heads and ten horns are figures of speech for his
aides de corps. They are mentioned in 1 Corinthians 2.8 and are called the
“princes of this world.” We all know who the chief prince is, a.k.a. “the prince of
darkness,” and it ain’t Dracula.
So the “main man” is Satan, who is the Serpent of Genesis 3. And,
according to Rev. 12.3-4, one third of the “stars” of heaven are cast down to
earth. These stars are actually those angels who rebelled with Satan and tried to
usurp the throne of God way back when in the dim, distant primeval past. I
believe this “casting to earth” is still in future. This will become plainer as we
further examine36 Revelation.

When Jesus was born, Herod
sent out his troops to slaughter all the
innocents under two- years-old in
Bethlehem. Later the crowds tried to
throw Jesus off a cliff. Then the dragon
and his princes finally succeeded by
murdering Him at the crucifixion, but
only temporarily, as God raised Jesus
from death three days and nights later.
Of course the reason Satan
and his comrades wanted the Messiah
out of the way harks back to Genesis
3.15 where God promises Satan that the
“seed of the woman” will ultimately
“crush your head,” which is not a very
nice prospect if you happen to be Satan.
Especially coming (as this promise did)
from the Most High God. Thus, Satan
and his chiefs have spent nigh on 6,000
years endeavoring to derail prophecy
and avert their inevitable demise. (By
the way, be on the lookout as we
progress through our study for the
above quoted phrase, “seed of the
woman.”)
The next verse in Revelation
12 must be the shortest definition of
the life of Jesus in the Bible: “And she
brought forth a man child who was to
rule all nations with a rod of iron: and
her child was caught up unto God, and
to his throne” (Rev. 12.5). In other
words, He is born; He is caught up to
heaven. One interesting side note
though is that the word in Greek for
“caught up” is harpazo, which is the
same word used in the well-known
section of the Bible (1 Thessalonians
4.17) that describes the saints who are
still alive at the coming (parousia)
being “caught up” to meet the Lord in
the air. It is significant to me that this
same word is used here as in Revelation
12.5. We shall return to the importance
of this point later, as now it is
appropriate to shift our focus to the next
four verses in Revelation 12:
“And the woman fled into the
wilderness, where she had a place
prepared of God, that they should
feed her there a thousand two
hundred and threescore days.
And there was war in heaven:
Michael and his angels fought
against the dragon; and the
dragon fought and his angels.
And prevailed not, neither was
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
their place found any more in
heaven. And the great dragon was
cast out, that old serpent called
the Devil and Satan, which
deceiveth the whole world: he
was cast out into the earth, and
his angels were cast out with him”
(Rev. 12. 6-9).
When verse 6 speaks of the woman
fleeing into the wilderness, it is referring
to a future flight of the Jewish people
in the time of the Tribulation. Most
experts on the numerology of the End
Times (and I am not one of them) agree
that this refers to the second half of the
seven year period. And some say that
Petra is the spot in the “wilderness”
described in Rev. 12.6 (the place where
the Jews will be protected).
Verse 7 describes a war in
Heaven. Not a battle but rather a war,
which is waged between two sets of
spirit men. This is what “angels” are:
men. However, they are not flesh and
blood men as you and me, but instead
they are spirit men, which are far more
powerful than mere human beings. As
the war ensues, the Devil and his evil
spirit men are defeated and cast out.
And where are they cast to? “Into the
earth” (Rev. 12.9).
Contrary to popular belief, the
Devil and his angels were not cast out
of heaven way back in the days of yore
when they rebelled in the original coup.
How do I know this? Because verse 8
says, “…neither was their place found
any more in heaven.” And again in
verse 10,
“And I heard a loud voice saying in
heaven, Now is come salvation and
strength and the kingdom of our God,
and the power of his Christ: For the
accuser of our brethren is cast down,
which accused them before God day and
night” (emphasis added) (Rev. 12.10).
Perhaps we should think of
heaven in different terms. Just as the
world we live in is a big place, it may be
that the same applies to heaven. As I
write this, I am many thousands of miles
from Australia, which is on the other
side of the globe. Thus in heaven, the
capital city, which is called Mount Sion
and the Heavenly Jerusalem, is where
the Throne of God resides. There He
sits with His son on his right hand side,
37
twenty-four elders sit on thrones
round-about, and there also is a
multitude of these spirit men, called
angels. Now let us imagine that Satan
and his angels are in a different location
in heaven, maybe some distance from
this celestial city. Nevertheless, he has
access day and night to God where he
continually accuses the brethern (us)
because of our sins down here. But read
on. The victory shall be ours: “And they
overcame him, by the blood of the
Lamb, and by the word of their
testimony; and they loved not their
lives unto death. Therefore rejoice ye
heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe
to the inhabiters of the earth and the
sea; for the Devil is cast down unto you,
having great wrath, because he knows
that he has but a short time” (Rev. 12.11-
12).
After my last interview on
“Coast to Coast” radio in June last, a
man named Greg Shaver from Oregon
contacted me. He said he had found the
Nephilim, or fallen angels, in chapter 2
of the Book of Daniel. Here Daniel
describes four kingdoms. The fourth
one is still in the future and describes
the government that will rule on the
earth during the seven years of the
Great Tribulation as described in the
Apocalypse:
“And the fourth kingdom shall be
strong as iron: for as much as iron
breaketh in pieces and subdueth
all things: and as iron that
breaketh all these, shall it break in
pieces and bruise. And whereas
thou sawest the feet and toes, part
of potters clay and part of iron,
the kingdom shall be divided; but
there shall be in it the strength of
the iron, forasmuch as thou
sawest the iron mixed with the miry
clay” (Dan. 2.40-41).
Verse 42 goes on to state that the toes
were of iron and of clay. But the
cruncher is in verse 43: “And whereas
thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay,
they shall mingle themselves with the
seed of men: but they shall not cleave
one to another, even as iron is not mixed
with clay” (emphasis added) (Dan. 2.43).
We are made of clay, or of the
dust of the ground as it says in Genesis.
When verse 43 states that “they shall

mingle themselves with the seed of
men,” the pronoun “they” has to be a
reference to the Nephilim, the fallen
angels, who will inhabit the world once
more in the coming Apocalypse. We are
mere humans compared to the spirit men
who will fall to earth and appear as
gods in the future. This is why we are
described as miry clay as opposed to
the strength of iron, which describes
these powerful, future spirit men.
The original fallen angels, the
Nephilim of Genesis 6, are incarcerated
in the Abyss or Tartarus because of
their sin and violence that precipitated
the Flood in those antediluvian days.
But according to Revelation 9, these so
called “gods” of ancient mythology will
be released again into the earth to wreak
havoc on an unsuspecting world. And,
as we have already learned in our
discussion of Revelation 12.9, the Devil
and the rest of his cohorts are to be
kicked out of the sphere of the
heavenlies and cast down to the earth
in the coming Apocalypse. We are given
a good mind-picture of this event earlier
in Revelation: “And the stars of heaven
fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree
casting her untimely figs, when she is
shaken of a mighty wind” (Rev. 6.13).
These “stars” are not those twinkling,
little, bright lights one sees when
looking at the sky of a clear night. For
when those twinkling, little, bright
lights fall, they do not fall to the earth.
Therefore, the “stars of heaven”
referenced in Revelation 6.13 are the
same as the “star” in Revelation 9:1 that
falls to earth having the key to the
bottomless pit. It is important to note
that the word “stars” is often used
symbolically for angels both good and
evil. Therefore, Revelation 6.13 shows
the evil angels finally getting evicted
from heaven, and they are described as
figs falling from a tree, which is shaken
by a great wind. Quite a picture,
wouldn’t you agree?
When the original Nephilim
descended to earth on Mount Hermon
in the days of Jared, they appeared as
beautiful men, full of knowledge,
wisdom, and power, and they were
irresistible to the woman of the world
in those days. Perhaps this is how they
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
will present themselves once more, in
the near future, for “as it was, so shall it
be.” Or, when 2 Thessalonians speaks
of these coming end days, “. . . that
God shall send them strong delusion,
that they should believe a lie” (2
Thess.2.11), maybe this “lie” will be that
the Nephilim will appear on earth
disguised as “aliens” to make things
aright. Maybe they will promise to bring
the world to a higher plain in the next
step of the evolution of mankind, and
they will convince the world of the idea
that “we are rid of those stupid
Christian fundamentalists (because the
Christians would have been already
caught up in the Rapture), so now we
can move forward.” Regardless of their
specific strategy, all of civilization will
be deceived by these beings and their
magic and power. That is, everyone
except for the elect.
I got an interesting email from
a believer who hails from Australia. This
intrepid young man is off to Iraq as a
prayer warrior with some other
Christians, but I digress. He told me he
had a dream last year while in New
Zealand that led him to my book. In his
own words:
“In the dream, I was standing on
the top of a mountain. I looked up
into the sky and saw hundreds of
floating/flying pyramids. I felt
very real dread and fear. I pointed
to the sky and said, “The Nephilim
are here.” Some of them were so
close they were huge (imagine the
Great Pyramid suspended in the
air). I have normal dreams, but I
know this was divine. It was so
real that when I awoke, I was very
much shaken.”
Now I am not categorically saying that
this is what is going to happen and that
the Nephilim will make their appearance
in this fashion. I get a lot of newsletters
from people who say they receive
“visions,” and most of them I read with
a great pinch of salt. But something
struck me about this particular vision.
We know that Satan always copies
(apes) what the true God does. And the
princes of this world (Satan and his
followers) know that the coming New
Jerusalem will descend out of heaven
to this earth in the future and that this
38
city is pyramidal in shape (Revelation
21). Therefore, it makes sense that the
Nephilim might make their appearance
in a similar way, does it not?
Again, I am not saying that
this is definitely the case: that the
Nephilim are going to descend out of
heaven in pyramids, but this idea does
pose an interesting possibility,
especially since the Great Pyramid is
held in such awe and wonder by people
of the world. Plus, Scripture does
promise that in the End Times; “I will
pour out my spirit upon all flesh: and
your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, and your young men shall
see visions. . . .” (Acts 2.17). Perhaps
the young man’s dream of pyramids
suspended in the sky was a vision from
God.
Returning to our study of
Revelation 12:
“And when the dragon saw that
he was cast unto the earth, he
persecuted the woman which
brought forth the man child. And
to the woman was given two
wings as of a great eagle, that she
might fly into the wilderness into
her place, where she is nourished
for a time, and times, and half a
time, from the face of the serpent.
And the serpent cast out of his
mouth water as a flood after the
woman, that he might cause her
to be carried away of the flood.
And the earth helped the woman,
and the earth opened her mouth,
and swallowed up the flood which
the dragon cast out of his mouth”
(Rev. 12.13-16).
In the second half of the seven years,
after the peace treaty breaks down, the
Devil goes after the Jewish nation. (This
peace treaty was brokered by the
antichrist between the Jews and the
Arab nations. How pertinent and topical
when we reflect and look upon present-
day news as it unfolds before our very
eyes on a daily basis.) I am taking for
granted that you, as a reader of
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE, are fairly well
acquainted with many of the events and
time lines associated with the Book of
Revelation, the Book of Daniel, etc. For
there is not time nor space here to
explain all of the nuances of this story.

If you find yourself at a loss and want a
fuller explanation of the facts, may I
recommend you read a good book on
this subject, such as The Nephilim and
the Pyramid of the Apocalypse by that
good-looking Irish guy, Paddy Heron.
We are told that the Devil tries
to drown the Jewish people with a flood.
Why cannot this be a literal event? In
chapter 8 of Revelation, we are told by
the revelator that he saw what looked
like a burning mountain cast into the
sea. As a result of this, one-third of all
boats in the sea are destroyed. Now if
one were to see a volcano, and one did
not know what it was, he or she would
describe it as a burning mountain. And
scientists tell us that if La Palma, an
active volcano in the Canary Islands,
falls into the sea, it would cause a
Tsunami hundreds of feet high. Israel
is situated not so far from this area in
North Africa. There is a clear run for a
Tsunami across the Mediterranean, and
Israel is on the coast. Perhaps this is
why in Matthew 24, Jesus warns: when
one sees these things happening, one
should run for the mountains (Matt.
24.16). After all, if there is a Tsunami on
the way, one would want to get to
higher ground.
In Revelation 12.16 the devil
tries to drown “the woman” with this
flood but fails miserably as usual, as
the earth swallows up the water. What
happens next? Verse 17:
“And the dragon was wroth with the
woman, and went to make war with the
remnant of her seed . . .” (Rev. 12.17).
Wow, wow, wait a minute, “remnant of
her seed”? What is this verse saying
here? The word “remnant” literally
means, “leftover.” In fact, my dictionary
defines it as, “a group of people left
behind.” Well if the Devil goes after the
“remnant” of the seed of the woman,
this begs the question, where are the
rest of God’s people? Where did they
go?
I think the answer is given
earlier in the chapter. Remember the man
child in verse 5 who was caught up unto
God and to His throne? Well, both
verses 5 and 17 may very well be
examples of prophetic statements,
which earlier in this article I mention do
exist, that have a dual meaning. When
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
we believe in Jesus Christ and get born
from above, we receive the seed of God
in us. This seed is eternal, and we
cannot lose it. No more than we can
lose the seed of our earthly father, so
we cannot lose the seed of our heavenly
Father. We may fall out with our earthly
father and never talk to him again, but
we will always have his seed in us. The
same holds true for the eternal seed we
are given. It is the token, or guarantee,
of our salvation.
When we are born-again, we
become part of the Church of God, the
Body of Christ. Christ is the head; we
are members of his body. We are also
called the Bride of Christ. Thus, when
the child is caught away to God and to
the throne of God, so too we, as
members of his Body, are caught away
when we are gathered together with him
as described in 1 Thessalonians 4.
Therefore, the metaphor of the man
child being caught away to God is a
description of the gathering together
of the Body of the Church, also called
the Rapture. This is why verse 17 says
that the Devil goes to make war with
the “remnant of her seed,” as the
“remnant” are those saints who will
believe in and turn to Christ when they
find themselves in the midst of the
tribulation period.
The “seed” of the woman in
verse 17 can refer to Jesus, as does
“man child” refer to Jesus in verse 5. Or
it can refer to all those born-again
believers who have the seed of God in
them. It can also refer all the way back
to Genesis 3.15 where we are told that
there would be enmity between the
“seed of the woman” and “the seed of
the serpent.”
Verse 17 concludes our study
of Revelation 12. However, at this
juncture I would like to reiterate some
important points. First (Greg Shaver
from Springfield, Oregon, is to thank for
the following insight), when the
Messiah arrives back in heaven having
gathered together his espoused, would
one think he or his Father are going to
put up with the Devil slandering his
Bride in their presence? I trow not.
Picture this: Jesus gets back to
headquarters with his Bride. The Devil
cannot accuse them anymore before
39
God, for there will be no more sinning
after we get our new spiritual bodies.
There is not enough room in the
heavenly realm once many millions of
believers, from all through the ages,
arrive. So Satan and his minions have
got to go.
Now there is a war in heaven
between Michael and his warfaring
angels against the dragon and his evil
spirit men, and there can be only one
outcome. The Devil and his angels are
ousted out and fall to earth like figs
falling from a tree shaken by a mighty
wind (Rev. 6.13). Woe to the inhabiters
of the earth, for the Devil is fallen to
earth, and he is wroth, for he knows his
time is short (Rev. 12.12). Now comes
to pass that prophetic utterance made
by Jesus in Luke, “I beheld Satan as
lightening falling to earth” (Luke 10.18).
About the same time of the
Rapture and Satan’s subsequent
ousting from heaven, Apollyon and
those Nephilim who have been
incarcerated with him in the bottomless
pit are released to inhabit earth once
more. Chapter 2 of 2 Thessalonians is
given over to the timing of this event.
The context for the entire chapter (set
in verse 1) is the “gathering together”
of the saints: “Now we beseech you
brethren by the coming of our lord
Jesus Christ and by our GATHERING
TOGETHER unto him” (emphasis
added) (2 Thess. 2.1).
Verse 3 says: “Let no man
deceive you by any means, for that day
shall not come, except there come a
falling away first, and that man of sin
be revealed, the son of perdition” (2
Thess. 2.3). The key to understanding
this verse lies in the words, “falling
away.” Most commentators and
teachers say that this is referring to a
“falling away” of the Church from the
Word and from God (even though there
is no mention here of either “the truth”
or the Word or God). Scholars get this
notion from the Greek word used in the
text which is apostasia. The word
“apostasy” has been transliterated into
the English language from this word.
But in the original Greek, apostasia
does not mean apostasy. The Greek
word for “away” in the text is apo. Greek
is a numerical language as is Hebrew.

Apo is a preposition and denotes
motion away from the surface of an
object. It can be described in terms of a
line being drawn from the circumference
(or outside) of a circle and going away
in an outwardly direction. Hence it is
used as motion away from a place.
(The Companion Bible Appendix 104).
It is clear from a literal
interpretation of this passage that the
“falling away” is speaking of a
departure of something away from one
place to another. Hence the term “falling
away” is speaking of the Church
departing away from the surface of this
earth and heading in an outwardly
direction. Remember the context: the
gathering together of the saints.
Furthermore, there is no
apostasy taking place in these latter
days. In fact, the opposite is the case;
there are thousands coming to Christ
on a daily basis all over the world. There
is revival going on in parts of Africa,
South America, Korea, and elsewhere.
After the Revolution in China, not so
many years ago, there were about 1
million evangelical Christian believers.
Today there is an estimated 80 million,
and the Church in China is experiencing
signs, miracles, and wonders. After all,
the believers there have so little going
for them; they have to walk out on their
faith, allowing God to work mightily. The
same is true of the Church in other Third
World countries.
And of course, look at all the
millions of Christians there are
throughout the United States. This is
actually somewhat of a paradox, for the
US has more guns, money, drugs, and
pornography than any other country.
Yet there is a polarization right down
the middle of society because so many
good Christian people in the States are
endeavoring to stand on God’s Word.
Again, there is no apostasy happening
today. What we are instead seeing is
“the latter rain” and God pouring out
His spirit as many thousands turn to
and trust in Christ and his Word on a
daily basis.
Verses 6 and 7 go on to talk of
the “man of sin . . . the son of perdition”
(2 Thess. 2.3) who is incarcerated: “And
ye know now what withholdeth that he

How You Should RRespond

Prophetic
Impor tance of Genesis 6
Importance
Jim Wilhelmsen
A Problem Ignored
I
set up my Web site in 1999. My main
focus was to inform the public about
the biblical perspective on UFOs
and “aliens.” From a pastoral role, I also
wanted to provide an alternative,
biblical-based counseling for victims of
“alien abduction.” I have had some
counseling success with abductees, but
abductee counseling only represents a
small part of my personal ministry. What
has come to a surprise to me is the fact
that my bigger ministry has been to the
many Christian individuals who have
recently come to understand the events
in Genesis 6 and their replay as “aliens
in UFOs.”
The biggest problem most
individuals I have encountered have
had is how to relate to their local
fellowships when trying to share some
of this information. Regardless of how
well they present themselves and the
information, at best they are considered
nice but sort of “out there,” and at
worst they are asked to leave the
fellowship. Most of us have
encountered this type of rejection,
especially when involved in a ministry-
related topic. The enemy Satan would
like to turn the hurt and disappointment
into anger and hostility toward the
Church and create a further
estrangement and isolation for the
prophetic individual. This problem has
become a bigger ministry for me than
any other aspect of the topic of UFOs/
aliens and Genesis 6.
The purpose of this article is
not to discuss the Genesis 6 events but
rather to give guidance to the New
Testament believers who are going to
be involved someday in explaining to
the masses of fellow believers and
others just what is going on. I hope this
article will help the New Testament
believer through some difficult times as
he or she realizes what he or she should
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
and should not do with all of this
strange-sounding information.
This is Big, and I Have to Do Something
About It!
One of the largest, most
important missing elements of
eschatology (study of end-time events)
is the Genesis 6 scenario revealed and
the realization of how the Genesis 6
scenario will be replayed in the end of
times. Most readers are probably
already familiar with these events. I do
not want to be sensational or at the
same time downplay the importance of
the Genesis 6 paradigm. Most who have
studied and made the UFO/alien
connection to Genesis 6 realize, on a
global scale, just how big this
connection really is. But what should
we do with the message? How are we
to balance our own lives in the midst of
proclaiming this urgent message? What
is the big picture concerning our
personal involvement?
The first thing to realize is that
much of the prophetic aspects of the
replay of Genesis 6 in our day are
unconditional prophetic events.
Unconditional prophecies are those
events and situations that are part of a
bigger plan leading toward God’s
perfect and ultimate will. Many times
these events are very negative, but
they are a necessary part of God’s plan.
Human nature is such that we would
tend to interfere with unconditional
prophecies if we knew all the details
before they actually happened. If they
were positive, we would find ourselves
trying to assist God in their completion,
and if they were negative we would try
to prevent them. In this reasoning it is
important to know that unconditional
prophecies are usually not known or
understood until they have already
happened or, at best, when events have
already progressed beyond the
possibility of human interference. This
is why there is a warning to the saints
42
living during this time to refrain from
this kind of interference: “He that
leadeth into captivity shall go into
captivity: he that killeth with the sword
must be killed with the sword. Here is
the patience and the faith of the saints”
(King James Version, Rev. 13.10).
I believe John is not
describing the taking of prisoners here
but rather, in context, he is giving a
choice for believers. The first part of
this scripture warns against an incorrect
the mental attitude in the midst of this
end-time scenario. To lead into captivity
is the attempt to seize the moment by
one’s own understanding. By not
seeing the bigger picture within these
events, the natural reaction is to
support against or prevent negative
things from happening that are
predestined. In this wrong thinking one
loses focus on a higher calling and
becomes captive by the temporal
disruptions. One settles for second best
by acting in a physical manner as
opposed to maintaining a spiritual
response, and as a result, one fails to
fulfill the higher ministry as a witness.
The second part of Revelation 13.10
warns against the physical response to
the wrong attitude. To “live by the
sword and die by it” is an option to
defend oneself by lethal means, which
appears to be permissible but will result
with one’s own shortened life and thus
diminished potential of ministry by
meeting an early death by the same
means. The qualification of this
interpretation is supported by the
concluding statement, which connotes
that not reacting in this manner is the
“patience and faith” (Rev. 13.10) of the
believer holding out for God’s very best.
His best for us, in this time as prophets
or witnesses for the truth, is described
as such: “And they overcame him by
the blood of the Lamb, and by the word
of their testimony; and they loved not

their lives unto the death” (Revelation
12:11).
The Blood of the Lamb
Accepting Christ is the only
dimensional bridge back to the intended
creation. The blood of the lamb makes
each person, as they are born-again and
touched by His Spirit, aware of this
dimensional difference of heaven and
earth. The shed blood of Christ gives a
supernatural hope and expectation to
something more than just this mortal
life. Our focus becomes fixed on
another dimension, heaven, rather than
the present mortal existence on this
earth. The shed blood then makes the
believer aware of this difference without
knowing necessarily the physics
behind it. This act could only be
accomplished by God alone and He,
being fully man and yet God in the flesh.
The power of the blood of the lamb is
the power of a sense of newness and
hope and the realization of belonging
to a better dimension, eternity with the
one who loves and created us. This
revealed knowledge gives the believing
individual the power to overcome the
horrible global events around him or
her and even the mundane things in
one’s daily life that take place here, in
this fallen dimension, for the appointed
duration.
Word of Their Testimony
Each person who crosses over
spiritually and is born-again
experiences a change in his or her
perception of the surrounding world
and one’s own life in it; one becomes
forever changed. The individual
process leading to this moment of
decision becomes one’s personal story
or the Word of one’s testimony. In its
simplest form, the born-again
experience is best described by the
words to “Amazing Grace,” taken from
the testimony of the blind man given
back his sight: “Once I was blind but
now I see.”
While researching and reading a
very deceptive book about the UFO/
alien agenda, which was very hostile
toward a biblical perspective, I
wondered for a moment (or rather in
retrospect, was maybe told in a whisper
by the enemy): “what if this could be
true, and you are wrong?” A sudden
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
fear came upon me that was instantly
removed. In that moment of fear and
uncertainty, I remembered a hot day in
July of 1974 as I was in my living room
praying for the first time in my life. I
was asking Jesus to come into my heart.
In that very moment only what I could
describe as something like a warm
blanket of love floated over my whole
being. I cried like a baby, feeling like I
did when I came home from the Army in
1970. I suddenly knew beyond my own
natural senses that God was my Father;
I had no more fear of what awaited
beyond death. I felt clean and new. That
experience was the Word of my
personal testimony. In this
remembrance of my testimony, I
immediately snapped back like a rubber
band to a spiritual reality the world
could never understand.
Loved Not Their Lives unto Death
Equipped with this mental and
spiritual realization of our own personal
testimony, we have the strength to obey
the last part of the above referenced
scripture: “. . . and they loved not their
lives unto the death” (Revelation 12:11).
It is fact that in the near future we may
be called upon to die because of our
faith. The Greek word for witness is
“Martus,” from which the English word
“martyr” was derived (PC Study Bible).
The ability to willingly die for our faith
is in our focus, as we understand that
there is a better place of existence called
eternity. We also know that this present,
linear, and mortal life is going to end.
And we will not create heaven on earth
in this dimension, it is not our job nor
God’s will; our mortal existence is going
to burn up and come to an end. Our
only order is to remain faithful and
overcome this present system. To
further spiritualize this idea, we should
as, the Apostle Paul put it, “die daily”
to our old ways and habits that reflect
this present world system and gather
the power and awareness of the new
world to come and its reality. Our
spiritual focus to overcome the ways
and manners of this world is our most
general order, promise, and hope.
So What Do You Do Now?
Knowing where the ultimate
road may lead in the near future, how
43
does this insight apply in one’s daily
life now? This issue is probably the
most important aspect of this article, as
I have seen many gifted men and
women of God have their faith
shipwrecked by the enemy through a
rebuking and unbelieving Church.
First I will explain what not to
do. One should not expect that one self
nor anyone else is going to “wake-up”
the church to important end-time
understandings. It is just not going to
happen yet. One must realize that he or
she has an understanding of something
that is unconditional and predestined.
Furthermore, one knows end-time
information ahead of the majority of
one’s fellow believers. As a result, one
must realize that others are not going
to be receptive because they have not
been called to understand yet.
Additionally, in order for some of these
events to come to their completion, the
majority of believers must be oblivious
to their imminent fruition. If tomorrow,
the whole body of believers suddenly
had the knowledge some of us have
about the role aliens and UFOs will have
in the end-time great deception, the
body could prevent it from ever
happening. To do so would actually go
against the ultimate will of God, as the
end-time great deception is all part of
the big picture, which we cannot see as
God does. Certainly God’s plan will be
carried out without our help or
interference. Understanding this
concept should take the pressure and
burden off one’s shoulders, as it is not
yet one’s job to convince the
unbelieving church about these matters.
At this point, all one can do with the
masses is plant a nonforced seed for
future recognition. It simply is not
God’s will at this present time for the
majority of believers to accept or to
know end-time truths; therefore, as
mentioned earlier, even if told, the
masses will not yet understand. Our
natural tendency to interfere is
prevented by the Holy Spirit via this
“blockage” of understanding. Thus the
question remains, for who is the end-
time message, what does one do with
it, and what does one do with oneself?
Stay where you have been planted

Most of us find it very hard to
remain in a church that will not tolerate
our message or us. At the very best all
we can expect or hope for is a place
that will accept us and tolerate the
message as long as we do not push it
on others. We will always be looked
upon as a bit “out there” or “kooky.”
For now that is OK; it is to be almost
expected.
Salt and Light
Today as events are, the
understanding of the end-time great
deception is for two groups of people.
One group includes the few individuals
who are drawn to those who have end-
time knowledge and are compelled to
ask questions and have an openness
to the information given. The Lord in
these present times has allowed many
to know these end-time truths, but we
are scattered into all various parts of
the body of Christ. This scattering is
the function of being salt, even to our
fellow believers. When, and certainly
someday soon, the UFO/alien lies
become a public challenge to our faith,
churches will be shaken and will be
rocking on their foundations because
of their lack of scriptural knowledge of
these topics and events. This is where
our ministry becomes a public one, and
we are to reach out to our fellow
believers in our local churches. Right
now we are to share with anyone who
is willing to listen or who inquires, but
we do not come with an agenda to push
this information on everyone. We are
in a sense building pillars within the
church to be an emergency support for
the time upon which we are called.
Events will create this need naturally
without our plans or schemes. We are
to just simply stay where we have been
planted in our local churches and
endure and bear with them.
Waiting for Our Time
Waiting for our time is an
action like that of a prizefighter. He or
she must stay in shape and be ready
for the big fight whenever the
opportunity comes, but until that time
he or she must remain patient and in
top condition, ready for action. We are
in a sense in a holding pattern until we
are needed, and then, with a servant’s
attitude, we need to remain in our
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
churches that currently, at best, only
make light of us. However there is
exciting news; there is a mission field
for having this understanding of UFOs/
aliens and the Genesis 6 paradigm.
Go Where the Fight is Today
Without exaggeration there
are hundreds of thousands of people
flocking to the New Age belief system.
These individuals have forsaken Jesus
Christ and the Bible for every wind of
doctrine. One of the fastest growing
“New Age” doctrines is the concept
that aliens are our creators, the clouds
of heaven in the Bible are
extraterrestrial spacecraft, and soon
these beings will make their appearance
to bring us into a greater cosmic
community and a New Age of
enlightenment for mankind. We have
the truth, so we should go and tell New
Age followers in any way and manner
that is scriptural and fruitful. Targeting
New Age believers should remain our
focus at this time, and as a result, we
can have an exciting, fruitful life in
Christ with the ability to endure the
rejection and nonserious treatment by
the world and fellow Christians.
Getting Stoned As a Prophet New
Testament Style
Realize also that in the Old
Testament times prophets who carried
an unpopular message were stoned to
death. Today we live in a much kinder
and gentler society. We no longer stone
the unpopular prophet but rather the
Church’s softer way to dispose of an
unpopular prophet is to simply ignore
him or her and exclude him or her from
involvement and activities until so
discouraged he or she just goes away.
Realize that no matter how anointed,
talented, or experienced one is in the
Word and gift ministries, one will
probably remain on the outside of
things and not be too actively involved
or invited to minister. Do not let this be
a discouragement. It is ok to abide
faithfully where one is, remaining
friendly and loving toward one’s fellow
brothers and sisters. Be the bigger,
wiser brother or sister without a
condescending attitude. Remember, our
ministry for now is simply to those who
are genuinely interested and to those
44
who are running into hell who believe
the lies in which we have the truth.
This should be enough to sustain us
until the big day when all the
information surrounding the end-times
great deception comes out into the
open.
You Are a Human Filter; Be Careful
It has been my experience in
the past that many times just before the
Lord gives me some understanding that
is not personal but rather is more global
or universal, He will humble me in some
further shaping way. I will usually
receive something of a personal nature
so that I realize my weakness, which
helps to remind me of my dependence
on him. It will usually be something that
I may comment back to him, “Well that
isn’t really that big of a thing and
certainly not related to my ministry is it
Lord?” One better believe if the Lord
brings something up, it is important to
Him and to oneself. Scripture reminds
us of one important quality for a
prophet, HOLINESS: “For the prophecy
came not in old time by the will of man:
but HOLY men of God spake as they
were moved by the Holy Ghost
(emphasis added) (2 Pet 1.2).
The gift and ministry of a
prophet is free, but discipleship and
obedience are necessary for this gift
and ministry to be performed with
accuracy. Imagine one pouring a brand
new can of oil into one’s car and using
a strainer funnel to direct the flow of oil
into one’s engine. In the process one
drops the filter on the ground, and now
there is grass mixed with sand, dirt, and
other objects in the filter. How pure is
the oil going to be when it has to pass
through this dirty oil filter funnel? It
will be a mess. Likewise we are human
filters that have to be clean in order for
what the Holy Spirit is pouring through
us to come out pure and clear.
Sometimes it is the little things that will
clog and contaminate us as a filter. The
scriptures allude to this thought in its
reference to the little foxes that can ruin
a vineyard by stealing the grapes a little
at a time (Song Sol. 2.15). The rewards
rendered by obedience (which leads to
Holiness) are a powerful, clear message
that is easily and boldly proclaimed.

When God Speaks
One of the tests of maturity in
a Christian’s life is one’s reaction when
God speaks. Whether it be that small,
still voice heard during a time of being
quiet before the Lord in prayer, an
impression while reading from the Word
of God, the bearing witness of the Holy
Spirit while hearing a sermon or
teaching, or even information gleaned
from someone else in the form of a
personal prophecy, what we do next
with this revelation may determine an
outcome for more than just ourselves
as we learn to wait upon the Lord. One
thing of which to be aware: many times
truth shared with others ahead of its
intended time will produce confusion
instead of the intended direction and
guidance.
Do You Have the Play or the Ball?
To illustrate, the Christian who
has just received a form of revelation
from the Lord could be likened to a
football player sitting on the bench. The
coach approaches the benched player
and gives him the next play to give the
other ten players and sends him out
onto the playing field in the huddle.
How outlandish would it be if the
player, instead of going to the huddle,
started running toward the end zone as
if he had the ball and were going to
single handedly win the game by
scoring the touchdown all by himself.
Many times, young or old,
Christians get caught up in the
excitement of a revelation and speak or
react before the proper time or even
before having complete knowledge.
Acting upon a revelation prematurely
can have a very negative effect and
produce intended results that affect
more than just the individual.
Do Be, Do Not Be
Two examples of do’s and
don’ts are illustrated in the Bible. For
instance, Mary, upon hearing that she
was going to birth the promised
Messiah, and thereby be the mother to
the incarnate God, pondered this in her
heart: “But Mary kept all these things,
and pondered them in her heart” (Luke
2:19). “Ponder” in the Greek, sumballo
(Strong’s number 4820), means to
throw together, to discuss with ones
self as a mental exercise of analyzing,
OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
discerning, and settling the matter in
one’s own mind. The scripture also tells
us that she kept those things the angel
spoke to her. “Kept” in the Greek,
suntereo (Strong’s number 4933), means
to remember and guard or protect the
matter. She kept the disclosed
information secret, guarding it by
keeping it to herself. This is true wisdom
concerning supernatural revelations. It
is important to wait upon the Lord for
further direction, confirmation, or
definition directing whether or not a
revelation is only for oneself or for a
certain group of people at a proper time.
What results would have
happened if Mary went strutting
around during her pregnancy telling
everyone, “See this?” (as she pointed
to her bulging belly) “I’m carrying God
in here, an angel told me so.” While this
statement is true, it has no business
being revealed ahead of God’s intended
time. This knowledge was meant to be
kept secret and quiet, a personal
revelation just for her.
Joseph was another who
received a supernatural revelation (in
the form of a dream): “And Joseph
dreamed a dream, and he told it his
brethren: and they hated him yet the
more” (Gen 37.5). Joseph in his youth
and lack of experience blurted out his
dream to his brothers without realizing
that there existed a tense relationship
between them and that the dream would
only inflame things further. This foolish
act started the course of events that
would actually fulfill his dream. The
fulfillment of his dream turned out to
be a Romans 8:28 plan, everything
worked together for the good in the
end, but it could have been less intense
for Joseph, perhaps, if he had used
wisdom in of what he spoke, how he
spoke, to whom he spoke, and when he
spoke.
A Recent Personal Example of a
Mistake with Balance
My father was a living example
of both examples. In 1979, many of our
members including my Dad and I were
prophesied over by a well-known
missionary evangelist Steve Fato. My
Dad’s prophecy was stated that “The
Lord was going to extend his life beyond
his time and that he would be a pillar to
45
others and that when they came to him
they would trust him because they knew
he would not turn them in.”
Because of the part of the
prophecy regarding “not turning them
in,” my father began to believe that
someday in the “end-times” he would
assist people who would not take the
“mark of the beast” in escaping to
safety. This prophecy was personal,
and he kept it to himself for awhile. In
1984 my father was dead from a heart
attack for more than ten minuets. He
was miraculously brought back to life
without any damage. This, we all
agreed, was the first part of the
prophecy fulfilled. His life had been
supernaturally extended, as he should
have died that year. As a result, he
became bold and shared with his eleven
grandchildren the rest of the prophecy.
Nine of them were my brother’s kids who
were not exposed to too many things
about the Lord. Since that time my Dad
had several other heart attacks far less
severe, a triple bypass, and also
angioplasty, all of which he survived.
He became a familiar face at the local
hospital, and if you knew my Dad, he
just saw all of this as a missionary
journey. Every time he went in, my
Dad’s witness was leading a nurse or
fellow patient to Jesus. Much of his
strength was in the hope of this
prophecy not yet fulfilled. He stayed
around out of a sense of duty and
responsibility because he still had
something to do. The last time he was
in the hospital, his countenance was
different. He began to lose his short-
term memory, and he realized that he
was too weak and too old to ever
perform what he hoped he would
someday do for the Lord. He began to
be depressed and brokenhearted that
somehow he had failed the Lord and
was being passed over.
I prayed and pleaded with the Lord for
understanding, and faithful as He is, I
got the answer.
While I was Pastor of one of the first
evangelical Christian Motorcycle
Ministries, we had a rigid line to tow in
order to let the rest of the world see
that this was a legitimate ministry. I was
the authority figure of this ministry.

To assist in the understanding of events in relation to our revised chronology for the geological processes that
formed our planet, I have included the following table to equate the selected ages to the Setterfield Time Line discussed in
the Time Scroll.
Paleozoic 600 to 250 million 3600 BC to 2950 BC
Mesozoic 250 to 70 million 2350 BC to 2000 AD
Triassic 250 to 190 million 2950 to 2750 BC
Jurassic 190 to 160 million 2750 to 2650 BC

Cenozoic 70 million to 2000 AD 2350 BC to 2000 AD
The geological history of the Arabian platform and, in particular, of the Persian Gulf is most interesting because of the
great variety of changes that the area has undergone over the ages. The earthquakes, the subsidence, and the uplifts
that attend tectonic plate movements and the sedimentation processes that follow large scale flooding have all helped to
create the uniqueness of this region.
“In the Arabian Platform we find that to the north and east the bed-rock is buried under thick layers of horizontal
or only slightly disturbed Paleozoic rocks; these are mainly sediments from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and from
the earlier part of the Cenozoic Era. These sedimentary strata lie within the bounds of the Mesopotamian down-warp, which
occurs in the Persian Gulf region; here the bed-rock has sunk to a depth of about 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) and contains large
amounts of petroleum.”129\ Massive earth subsidence have occurred in the eastern end of the Persian Gulf; while uplifts of
equal magnitude have occurred in Oman farther to the east. The net effect of these was the sinking of the capitol city of
Atlantis and the plains surrounding them. Geological evidence suggests a sudden subsidence in the order of some 200
meters in the southeastern end of the Persian Gulf, while the Oman coastline on its Arabian Sea side reflects a rise by an
equivalent amount. This region of the world is well-known for its unusually dynamic plate movements. The Arabian shield
is apparently sliding underneath the Iranian plate in the region of the Zagros mountains overlooking the Persian Gulf, which
is “situated in a pronounced depression and is connected with the Gulf of Oman through the Straits of Hormuz. The Zagros
mountains extend along the northern shore. They were formed during Tertiary episodes of folding, and the thickness of
rocks in the Zagros is over 12 kilometers. The Persian Gulf was created as a result of these mountain-building processes.”130
The dynamics of this area have been quite unique. The mechanism for the earthquake that would have sunken Atlantis is
there. The depression of the Gulf basin is evidence of a subsidence of, at the very least, a few hundred meters.
An interesting fact can be gleaned from Plato’s account of the sunken Atlantis, “...the combatants on the other
side were commanded by the kings of Atlantis, which, as I have said, once existed, greater in extent than Libya and Asia, and
afterwards when sunk by an earthquake, became an impassable barrier of mud to those voyagers from hence who attempt
to cross the ocean which lies beyond.”131
As I mentioned earlier in this discussion, Plato has used the present tense form, “attempt to cross” indicating that
the condition of impassable mud still existed circa 600 BC. This statement also implied that a sea lay beyond the muddy
waters of the sunken Atlantean area. No area in the region of the Atlantic presented that sort of a shipping hazard as late as
600 BC, or the Phoenicians would have recorded it in their travels around Africa through the Gibraltar Pass.
From the reconstructed map of the Persian Gulf with the water line lower by twenty meters (Map ASM-3), it can be
seen that two seas once existed in the Gulf itself. The western sea would have stretched back toward the Mesopotamian
Valley, while the eastern sea would have met the Gulf of Oman and entered into the Arabian Sea I am not certain that the
smaller one close to the Mesopotamian end of the Gulf was present during the Atlantean age; but it certainly would have
been when Bahrain was originally named. The Arabic name “al-Bahrayn” means “two seas;”132 however, since the Persian
Gulf was divided into two water bodies with the passage between the two smaller “seas” occurring on the same latitude as
and just a few kilometers north of Bahrain, it is not hard to understand. It is easy to understand Plato’s statement to the
effect that the mud of the sunken Atlantis hampered those ships trying to get to the Indian Ocean or the Arabian Sea
through the Persian Gulf because the map shows the Fertile Plain of Atlantis was a shallow sink, and that it would have
blocked the path to the seas beyond. Every clue fits nicely and exactly.

ASM-3 Elevated View of Atlantis from Cyprus

Orichalcum
The Greek word for “orichalcum” was “oreichalkos,” and many modern translations make this to be “mountain copper.”
One ancient Greek historian claimed that “orichalcum” was an alloy of copper and zinc (now known as brass). If this were correct
then the physical characteristics of brass would be in conflict with the Plato’s account on two counts. First, Plato lists brass as a
one of the metals the Atlanteans used to coat one of the circular zone walls, and since he stated that another of those zone walls
had been coated with orichalcum, the latter could not have been what he meant. Second, brass has a color that is more yellow than
gold itself. Now, since orichalcum was supposed to have “flashed red in the light of the Sun,” brass does not fit the description.
Certainly, such an alloy would have had more tensile strength than pure copper, but it would also have been more brittle,
which would have made coating the rocks with it impractical. Also, it would have corroded terribly in the salty sea environment.
However, Plato’s statement concerning the abundance of orichalcum on the island gives another clue, “In the first place, they dug
out of the earth whatever was to be found there, solid as well as fusile, and that which is now only a name and was then something
more than a name, orichalcum, was dug out of the earth in many parts of the island, being more precious in those days than
anything except gold.”133 The alloy could have been formed of either copper and gold or silver and gold, both of which occur
commonly in the region, but as the silver-gold alloy is not copper based, nor is it reddish, it can be removed from consideration.
The gold-copper alloy occurs naturally but does not exhibit the reddish color, so it too must be removed from consideration. Plato
reveals the Atlantean culture had either mined or alloyed gold, silver, copper, tin, and brass.
The findings of a U.S. Geological Survey made in southern Saudi Arabia in 1981 proved that a very ancient culture
(Atlantis?) had mined for gold and other minerals in the Jabal al Hajrah quadrangle (se ASM-4), and according to that report, “The
Hajrah-Hamdah group of ancient gold mines is in the Jabal al Hajrah quadrangle and includes the Hajr, Jabal Hajr, Hajr Gharb, and
Bir al Hamdan ancient mines, and several other lesser occurrences. 134 The Hajr mine has the most extensive ancient workings in
southern Saudi Arabia (Worl, 1979). The workings at all of the mines consist of pits, trenches, inclined shafts, and vertical shafts.
The pits and trenches are sand and rubble filled, 1 to 3 meters wide, 1 to 2 (?) meters deep, and as much as 160 meters long. The
vertical and inclined shafts are as much as 20 meters deep. A very extensive ancient village adjoins the Hajr mine on the southeast
corner of the mine.” Although gold was the main mineral extracted from these mines, significant amounts of the ores of copper
(chalcopyrite), zinc (sphalerite), iron (pyrite), and lead (galena) were found. In these mines alone is the proof that Atlanteans had
access to gold, copper, and brass (copper-zinc alloy).

52
 OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE

The presence of lead in these mines was the single clue that finally identified the mysterious “orichalcum” alloy. There is one oxide
of lead that is known as “red lead” (Pb3O4) because of its red color.
Modern translations assume the morphology of “oreichalkos” to have been “oros” for “mountain” and “chalkos” for
“copper.” However, when one analyzes this Greek word in the following manner, more detail can be extracted. The Greek word,
“chalk” or “chalko, “ means copper all by itself, so why would Plato have referred to it by an extended name unless it were
something more than just copper. It would appear that “or-ei-chalkos” was the name of an alloy of copper and some other metal
or metals. Was that other metal “gold”? In nature, gold frequently alloys with copper, as does silver, and all three minerals were
listed in the adornments of Atlantean structures. The color of native copper is reddish, as is cuprous oxide, so if there were a small
amount of gold in the alloy, it would allow a certain amount of copper oxidation on the surface of the alloy while still retaining a
degree of the lustrous reflection from the non-oxidized gold component in the alloy. Even if the alloy had not oxidized, the red color
would have come from the native copper ore, the presence of which would have dominated the alloy due to the difference in the
diameters of the gold and copper atoms. Still, when copper oxidizes it tends to go darker and darker as time passes; furthermore,
when exposed to salt-water and air over a period of time a greenish film of copper carbonate (patina) forms on the surface.
If “gold” was not the other metal, what was? The clue comes in realizing that the “Bronze Age” began right in the time
period when Atlantis existed or circa 3800 BC. I found an interesting article on the history of bronze that settles the question of
orichalcum’s identity once and for all. For the most part, bronze was made as an alloy of copper and tin, both of which were in
plentiful supply in the Saudi mines; however, there were some forms of early bronze that were found to contain lead, and this form
of bronze was found to easily workable and very resistant to corrosion. When all the clues are put together, we find that
orichalcum was an alloy composed of three elements that the Atlanteans mined in their quarries: copper, tin, and lead. The oxide
of lead would have given the reddish tint to the already reddish bronze color formed by the copper-tin alloy and the resulting
mixture would have been the best metal they could have used for durability, malleability, and beauty. I think we should re-name
“orichalcum” to “Atlantean Bronze;” and if some of you more industrious young metallurgists out there ever brew up some of it,
please send me a sample.
The Quarry Stones
“...The stone which was used in the work they quarried from underneath the centre island, and from underneath the
zones, on the outer as well as the inner side. One kind was white, another black, and a third red, and as they quarried, they at the
same time hollowed out docks double within, having roofs formed out of the native rock. Some of their buildings were simple, but
in others they put together different stones, varying the color to please the eye, and to be a natural source of delight.”135
“Al Muharraq” is an Arabic word derived from the verb meaning “to be thin or layered like a cake.” This name was given
to this area because of the multicolored stone strata, which dominate the islands in this area. Bahrain, Abu Ali, and al Muharraq
contain “arched layers of rock consisting of limestone, sandstone, and marl (loose clay, sand, or silt containing calcium carbonate).”136
The color of sandstone depends upon its detrital grains and bonding material. Three common colors of the
sandstones in the region of Bahrain are: white, greenish-black, and red. The white sandstone is formed by sand grains of

light on the reason for the
concentration of such shallow oil fields
in the region. It is commonly believed
that oil is produced by a metamorphic
process in which organic material is
converted to petroleum. The
Encyclopedia Britannica described this
process in the following manner:
Petroleum is associated with
sedimentary rocks, principally
those deposited under marine
conditions but also including
continental sediments....Most
types of petroleum contain
complex hydrocarbon
compounds termed porphyries,
formed either from the green
coloring matter of plants
(chlorophyll) or from the red
coloring matter of blood
(hemin).....Many petroleum-like
hydrocarbons have been found in
recent marine sediments as well
as soils in many places
throughout the world; these
occurrences form a link between
present living organisms and the
petroleum found in sediments of

Above the Tower of Babel were
shown the eurostars, but
inverted, as in witchcraft, with the
central points downwards.
The story of the rise and fall of
Babylon told in Genesis chapter
eleven should have been a
warning to all men for all time.
Nimrod and his followers tried to
build a tower to reach the
heavens, but it was the
counterfeit building of a
counterfeit religion.
Mystical Babylon is now being
rebuilt in Europe, and those who
would follow Nimrod have now
succeeded in building a
parliament building in Strasbourg,
France, with whose centerpiece is
an enormous replica of the
unfinished tower of Babel. Even
the secular press could not miss
the connection between the old
and new towers of Babel. They
labeled the new French structure
‘The Tower of Euro-babel.’ This
monumental building, full of
labyrinthine corridors, is used
only one week in four, because
the rest of the time the EU
Parliament meets in committees in
Brussels. [. . .] Nigel Farage is a
member of the European
Parliament who belongs to the
United Kingdom Independence
Party, which is fighting to get
Britain out of the superstate. He
said in an article just after the
opening day: ‘We realize we are
not merely entering a building, but
being allowed access to the
temple of a bold new empire’”

Conclusion
The fallen sons of God are still
active among us, behind the world
powers that shape our times. The
deception of paganism is reemerging
with a vengeance through the guise of
the New Age movement, and the stage
is being set for the final days. Israel,
God’s chosen nation, was regathered in
1948 after nearly 1900 years of exile, and
the gods of the nations know that their
time is short. Israel has reemerged to
fulfill her final role in prophecy. We
should not be surprised that many
nations of the world, under the
influence of the fallen sons of God,
continue to exhibit an unjustifiable
hatred of her.
Satan will give one last effort
to complete a universal kingdom that
defies God; a kingdom that was seeded
in Eden and that has roots reaching
back to Nimrod and the Tower of Babel.
As it was in the beginning of Satan’s
kingdom, so it shall be again. However,
let us remember that Christ said, “I am
the Alpha and Omega, the beginning
and the end, the first and the last” (Rev.
22:13). There is one road back to
paradise, and it does not lead through
the efforts of man but rather through a
cross. It lies not in self-improvement
but rather in dying to ourselves so that
God may remake us into the creations
we were intended to be. In the
55
meantime, let us not be caught unaware
that Satan’s kingdom is rising, and the
fallen gods of this world seek to lead
the multitudes astray through
paranormal deceptions and lying
wonders (Matt. 24.24, II Thess. 2.7-12).
As Adam and Eve traded paradise for
deception, so now we have inherited a
paradise for deception.
