UNEARTHLY MESSAGES PART 1: ETs THROUGH A SPIRITUAL PRISM
UNEARTHLY MESSAGES PART 1: ETs THROUGH A SPIRITUAL PRISM Christianity at large has a habit of promoting specific topics and relegating others. Talk about how to create wealth and prosperity by changing your mindset and finding your destiny in God and conference centers will be so packed with attendees that people have to be refused entry because of health and safety reasons. However talk about alien abductions and the Christian response to dealing with such phenomena and there is an eerie silence as people who supposedly believe in a supernatural God and Devil and in a Heaven and Hell suddenly become uncomfortable and want to change the subject. Yet there are thousands of people across the world who are crying out for help to be released from personal situations that they are too frightened or embarrassed to talk to anyone about. Without a Christian anchor such people are at the mercy of the secular view of this phenomena and the confusion it brings.

INTRODUCTION
Deep in the catacombs under the Vatican in Italy there exist a lot of secret things, including a library filled with some of the most ancient books and written documents in the world. The Vatican library was recently reopened to religious scholars following an extensive $7.5 euro three-year renovation project to shore up "dangerous structural weaknesses" discovered in the foundation of the Sixteenth Century building to protect the ancient manuscripts. It was during the renovation work that workmen, digging deep in the rock under the library, allegedly came upon a long-forgotten gravesite which, if the story is true, obviously shocked the Pope and all of the robed high priests surrounding him. The bones and skulls were humanoid, but clearly non-human in origin. Such a discovery may have had a lot to do with the shocking announcement by the Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, the Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory, while the construction work was going on, that alien life may exist but it does not contradict a faith in God. He said in an interview that the vastness of the universe means it is possible that other forms of life, even intelligent ones, may exist on other worlds. Fumes said. "How can we rule out that life may have developed elsewhere?..Just as we consider earthly creatures as ‘a brother’ and ‘sister,’ why should we not talk about an ‘extraterrestrial brother?’ It would still be part of creation." This kind of proclamation is not exactly new to the Vatican.
Additionally recently a mummified elongated skull found in Peru was also said to prove the existence of aliens. The strangely shaped head - almost as big as its 50cm (20in) body has baffled anthropologists. It was one of two sets of remains found in the city of Andahuaylillas in the southern province of Quispicanchi. Spanish and Russian scientists who have examined the remains claim they are actually those of an alien.

The skeletal sets were discovered by Renato Davila Riquelme, who works for the Privado Ritos Andinos museum in Cusco in south-eastern Peru. He said that that the eye cavities are far larger than normally seen in humans. Three anthropologists agree it is not a human being. As more and more discoveries happen in these last days which open the debate on the biblical world view of man and his role in the universe, there is no better way to assess the validity of the UFO phenomena than cross examining the messages being channeled to abductees by the extraterrestrials. Unearthly Messages is a three part report in which pastor and author Dennis Callen, provides a fascinating insight into the messages being received by extraterrestrials and how they can be interpreted through the prism of the biblical understanding of the end times. As a minister whose ministry has involved coming to face with principalities and powers and the rulers of the darkness of this world, there is no better than Callen to address the spiritual significance of the alien abduction agenda.
IMPORTANT NOTE FROM DENNIS CALLEN
If you, or someone you know, have had any kind of alien/UFO encounter, then this book is written especially for you. The material covered in this book will include many of the testimonies of alien abductees and what they were told by the aliens. To many it will be surprising that every bit of it can be found in Bible prophecies. Also, covered in this book is the reason why God, not only is allowing an alien landing, but he is forcing it to happen. And finally, the book will cover God’s plan and purpose for us in all of it. I have used approximately 240 various scripture texts to back-up what I have written. Ninety (91) of the scriptures are listed on the reference page. The other 149 scriptures, I found it prudent to leave the reference in parentheses in the text for better clarification at the time of reading. Clearly, this is a much needed book because it reveals the biblical side of what is happening. I followed strict biblical guidelines for interpretation, by allowing scripture to interpret scripture using other scripture (I Cor. 2:13) and using two or three scripture verses to establish a truth of interpretation (II Cor. 13:1). Conversely, I found several books and thirteen national organizations, complete with hotlines, set-up for the people of this country, to prepare for, and accept, the UFO landing with the Hybrids beings that the aliens will be introducing into the world.

2. ENCOUNTERS OF THE FOURTH KIND
I do not believe the abductees are in any way hallucinating. I believe their experiences are real. I’ve been a minister for over forty years and I have dealt with these spirits and beings most my life. I know what their “hidden" agenda is, when they are planning to land on planet earth and where they are from. But before I get into explaining all of this, first let me build my case. I have some excerpts from the testimonies of various abductees, or “experiencers,” as they choose to call themselves. These experiencers only confirmed what I already have believed is true and biblical. In my research, I have listened to audio testimonies and seen videos of actual counseling sessions of those who have experienced a face to face confrontation with these terrifying beings. Also, my research led me to read various books that contained testimonies of abductees as told to their interviewers, psychologist or psychiatrist. Some of the psychiatrist had interviewed and counseled hundreds of people who either claimed to have been abducted and taken into an alien spaceship, or had some kind of direct alien encounter. Some of their clients came to them because they had several hours of memory missing on a particular day. Although these experiences were very emotionally charged with traumatic fear, it would be very difficult for anyone to grasp the severity of that trauma and terror through a book. You really have to see it to understand how awful it is. I have personally talked with some people who have been to hell, either by being resuscitated after dying or by vision. They all say the same thing. It took them nearly a year to get over the horror of what they saw or experienced before they could share any part of their story. The horror these experiencers faced sounds the same as those who have been to and experienced Hell. YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE It’s been a good day. You went to Catholic Mass this morning. You are looking forward to watching some baseball this afternoon. The lawn finally got mowed by Sarah, of all people, your thirteen year old daughter. Normally, you would do the lawn, but she wanted to do it for you, so you could enjoy watching your game on TV. You love her very much; she is such a good hearted young woman. Her brother, on the other hand, is a great kid, too, but he lives in his own world of computer games.

After a long night of TV, the kids finally go to bed. After all, it’s Sunday night and there’s school tomorrow. Cindy, your wife asks when you thought you might get the torn screen fixed on the window in the spare bedroom. You reach over to the pad on your night stand and make a note. It’s a cool summer night and you like to have your windows open slightly to let in that comfortable breeze as you fall off to sleep. You wake up in the middle of the night to bright flashing lights outside the window. There is an eerie feeling in the room. You got the feeling you are being watched. All of a sudden, without any notice, three of the ugliest beings you have ever seen are standing at the foot of your bed. They look like monsters out of a horror movie. Only this isn’t a movie. Fear grips your heart and paralyzes you. You try to yell, scream, or curse at them; however, nothing but a little moan comes out your mouth. Horrifying thoughts crowd your mind. Is this real? What’s going on? You hear strange thoughts telling you not to be afraid. They don’t seem like regular thoughts that you would think. You realize these thoughts were coming from one of the monsters in the room. By some unseen power you begin to levitate off the bed. As you float out towards the window, you remember it wasn’t even all the way open, yet somehow you find yourself outside. Now you can see it. A spaceship hovering over you house. Through all this, your wife never even wakes up. The next thing you know you are inside of this spacecraft. You can’t remember going through any kind of doorway. The “aliens” take all your clothes off and put you naked on this cold steel examination table. Feeling the shame of being naked, your mind begins to race with horrible thoughts. You wonder, “Is this really happening?” Then, this being, which has a semi-female form, with an open robe on, begins to fill your mind with erotic pictures. You have absolute no control over your body as you become aroused sexually. They take advantage of this situation to take the semen from you like it was an expected normal procedure. Their touch is ice cold. They treat you like you are nothing. They don’t really care about you. At this point, they don’t even try to explain what was going on. It was like you were just a specimen to them. Then, they finally tell you their intention is to make a hybrid human being, for their own purposes.

You could see another examination table in the room, surrounded by these hooded beings. You could tell that there was a young woman on that table, but could not see her face because of beings standing around her. Then, one of the beings moved, and to your horror, you could see it was your thirteen year old daughter, Sarah. Everything within you got fighting mad. You wanted to jump off the table and start hitting, slugging, kicking and biting these monsters to get your daughter out of there. But, their power was so strong, you couldn’t move a muscle. In your mind, you were yelling, cursing and threatening them. This made them a little afraid of you. The little gray beings, with the big black eyes, backed up. Then, this big, hooded being comes over and gets right in your face, and with his thoughts, tells you to stop resisting, or they will make things a lot worst for you and your daughter. For Sarah’s sake, you started to cooperate with these beasts. Then another alien, who is dressed like a doctor, comes over with a long tube in his hand. With a mind to mind conversation, he tells you he is going to insert this into your rectum and place a little chip in you so they can study your body’s reaction for scientific research. He says this is important for their studies. Then, they turn you over without touching you, and ram this rod deep into your rectum. The pain is so sharp that you black out. That’s the last thing you remember. You wake up the next morning with a sore rectum. You know it wasn’t just a dream, but you are not sure it was real. You literally run into your daughter’s room, only to find she had been crying. Your daughter starts having morning sickness. After two months, you take her to the doctor. The tests come back positive. She’s pregnant. This could ruin her reputation. What can you do? Who can you talk to? Sarah finally overcomes her fear enough that you can talk with her. It helps a little for her to know that you were there and saw what happened. They told her they would be back for her in three months. She was so afraid. You tried to console her, but it didn’t help. Who can you talk to for help? Who in the world would believe you anyway? They would think you were crazy. You have no one. Not even Cindy, your wife, seems to believe you. Your story scares her. The pregnancy is a shock to her. What’s going on with your family? Where is God in all this? What really happened? Where do you look for answers? Welcome to the world of an alien abductee. This is their story. The above story is a compilation of some of the testimonies you are about to read in part 2.

3. CHRISTIANITY AND THE UFO PHENOMENA
The subject of alien abductions can be quite discomforting for many Christians who are not overly familiar with the UFO Phenomena believing that the vast majority of those claiming to have had contact with UFOs are either fabricating stories for attention or people who have undergone hallucination, mental breakdown or some type of hypnosis which has led them to experience trauma based events which have not really happened It is already an established point of research that the majority of americans believe that earth has been visited by aliens, that they have seen a UFO (and believe it to have been extraterrestrial in origin), and that the U.S. government is deliberately hiding proof of alien life and contact. If you ignore these subjects of alien visitations and government cover-up, you do so to your own worldview peril and sacrifice your calling to minister to hundreds of people whom you already know and whom you will meet. You also forfeit your ability to answer a number of sincere and compelling questions from these people. In short, you will be “worldviewirrelevant” to a large percentage of the culture.
This section presents a broad overview of how one should approach this phenomena, with the goal of convincing the reader that there is a lot to think about of theological significance, when it comes to the subjects of UFOs, aliens, and abductions. The issues that confront Christianity with regard to the subjects at hand fall under two, broad, “paradigm shifting” issues: (1) What if there really are aliens, and they are, in part at least, behind what we think of today as UFOs and abductions?, (2) What if what we think are aliens are not truly aliens but rather are some other intelligent being from another plane of reality that is behind these phenomena?

You might have asked yourself, just why it is that so many Americans believe in aliens. Might they be culturally conditioned? Might there be media influences directing them to believe what they say they believe? Besides, you might conclude, it does not matter what people believe; it matters what is true, and UFOs and aliens are not for real. These are important questions, but if you think posing these questions in and of itself will solve the core issues, you are mistaken. The mere validity of these questions is not a substitute for the correct response to these questions or for reality. It is correct that just because there are people who do believe in aliens it does not make their reality (that aliens exist) certain. But it is equally true that if you do not believe in aliens, this does not make your view of reality factually certain. Belief about reality and reality itself are two different things. It is true that the Bible does not say God created aliens. It is equally true that it does not say he did not create aliens. Biblical silence does not inform us as to reality. If that were the case, we could not affirm there are eight other planets in our solar system or that there are such things as microwaves (among a plethora of other examples). We can agree though with a good measure of confidence, that it does matter whether there really are aliens, since this truth would force everyone to reexamine his or her worldview. Since so many Christians view an extraterrestrial (ET) reality as something that cannot be Biblical, the pain of an ET revelation would be especially acute for those whose position right now is that their belief must be the reality. But what matters even more is that people believe there are aliens, for this belief molds, guides, and even dictates people’s worldview. It also matters what we mean when we even use the term “alien.”
When we speak of
“aliens,” we are referring to an intelligent life form that: • Has a determined life span (it can and will die), • Needs to sustain itself through nourishment and procreation, • Has a physical, corporeal existence on a planet other than our own, and • Is subject to the laws of physics, personally and with respect to interstellar travel. In what follows I will refer to this definition of “alien” with the phrases “genuine alien” or “genuine alien reality.”

UNEARTHLY MESSAGES PART 1: ETs THROUGH A SPIRITUAL PRISM
The goal here is neither to convince the Christian reader that there are genuine aliens, nor to affirm a preconception that there cannot be because of something that is not in the Bible. There may be aliens, but there may also be another reality behind what people assume are aliens. I think we could also agree that at least some, and perhaps the majority, of those individuals who say they witnessed an alien presence or were abducted by aliens truly believe their experience was real. That is, they are not lying. This, too, is a matter of the scholarly research record. Researchers (Christian or otherwise) who believe that there is a reality beyond the physical world tend to view abductions as real events with an explanation rooted in a spiritual reality, while those who reject any notion of a spiritual reality typically relegate the experience to the biology of brain function. As Christians, we are forced toward the former category, the experiences are real (and even physical) and have either a spiritual origin or meaning, or both. Affirming the materialist worldview is dangerous since these same researchers would argue that all spiritual experience, even the very belief in a God, is due to brain chemistry and function. The view of many Christian researchers on the UFO phenomena is that many of the people who claim to have been abducted by aliens have had a real experience; it is not a fabrication or brain alarm. However, their experience needs processing and does not offer proof of a genuine alien reality. Were a genuine alien reality proven by science, then that reality needs to be factored in to such experiences. Personally, while we do not think there is evidence to support the view that there are genuine aliens (as defined above), we would not find their reality theologically problematic. Our real goal is to move the reader to carefully consider how their view of biblical theology and physical and spiritual reality would be affected by either paradigm shift noted above, realization of a genuine alien reality, or an imminent, even invasive, spiritual reality that doesn’t look like your father’s demonological Oldsmobile. If either (or both) is true, the Christian worldview would face challenges that need to be addressed. Ufology is of importance for the Christian because it entertains this very fundamental unknown, one that the Church dealt with very early in its history. The question of “other worlds” (the way the debate is usually worded in the Church Fathers and other ecclesiastical writers) goes all the way back to pre-Christian thinkers, namely Aristotle. Since the early Church Fathers and later theologians articulated a lot of their theology on the basis of (or in
UNEARTHLY MESSAGES A PRODUCTION OF REMA MARKETING ©2013, All rights reserved.
12
UNEARTHLY MESSAGES PART 1: ETs THROUGH A SPIRITUAL PRISM
opposition to) Aristotelian philosophy, the subject naturally crops up important writings of major figures like Augustine and Aquinas. During and after the late Middle Ages, the Church took a favorable view of the question, arguing that a negative answer to the idea impinged on the omnipotence of God. The organized Church (Protestant or Catholic) held the existence of other worlds and life forms on those worlds to be almost self-evident until the 17th century Enlightenment. Things changed after deists used the Church’s acceptance of this idea into an argument against orthodox Christology and also when, in the wake of Darwinism, the idea became linked to an evolutionary outlook of life on earth. More recently (since the 1950s) the question of other worlds has been linked to stories of alien contact and abduction, which conjures up images of Genesis 6:1-4 in the mind of many Christians. These last two intellectual shifts has produced what we now see, in the evangelical church at least,: overwhelming antagonism toward the idea that there could be ET life. The Church today either holds that the idea is intrinsically incompatible with the Bible or is tantamount to demonic contact, and so why should Christians be “into” this? The current stance of the Church will not make the questions go away, though. If there are in fact genuine aliens and they are not demonic manifestations, a host of questions are raised, all of which one will encounter in ufological literature and need thoughtful response from any believer with a high view of the Bible: IF THERE ARE ETS, WOULD THAT MEAN THE BIBLE IS AN ERRANT BOOK? This issue is directly related to more “normal” Bible difficulties and inerrancy. Most Christians do not put much thought into the issue of inerrancy, it is just assumed. What we mean here is that, while the Bible does refer to itself as error-free, it says almost nothing about what that means. Evangelical theologians who hold to an inerrant Bible often use phrases like “the Bible, as originally written, is completely true and correct in all that it affirms, rightly interpreted.” That is a good start, but again, most people do not really know what that means. For example, is the Bible allowed to use the language of appearances”— descriptions of things to the naked eye but which are not scientifically accurate (phrases like “the sun rose,” which are in the Bible)? Should not God have used more scientifically precise language? After all, he would know the earth revolves around the sun instead of vice versa. In like manner, he would know if there were ETs, so since that information is omitted, if there are ETs, is the Bible in error?

UNEARTHLY MESSAGES PART 1: ETs THROUGH A SPIRITUAL PRISM
If what people think are aliens are really demons and those demons manifest physically and manufacture flying craft to fool people into thinking they are from outer space, why did not God tell us that in the Bible? Ufology forces Christians to think about how certain doctrines should be defined in the wake of such scenarios, as well as the limits of our definitions. It is a worthwhile exercise in thinking about doctrine even if such scenarios never occur. Why? Because divine revelation (the Bible) cannot be “more true” than natural revelation. The idea of anything being “more true” is logically incoherent. Something is either true or it is not. We need to think theologically in such a way that all truth is in harmony. WOULD THE DOCTRINE OF THE IMAGE OF GOD BE OVERTURNED This issue requires coming to terms with what is meant by the image of God. For centuries it has been fashionable to define the “image of God” as some sort of capability, for example, intelligence, emotions, a “God directedness,” or self awareness. If an intelligent ET showed up, these definitions would either mean the Bible is wrong (humans would not be unique in the creation by virtue of this “image” given to them) or would have to be dismissed. Frankly, we should never have defined the image this way in the first place since it is incoherent and ethically troublesome. But many Christians do, including pastors and theologians, and poor thinking on the subject sets the Church up for problems should an intelligent (even to a human toddler’s level) ET be out there. WOULD ET NEED A SAVIOR? IF SO, WOULD JESUS HAVE TO BE INCARNATED AGAIN, Care needs to be taken, especially with respect to this question - Astronomers and ufologists frequently imagine ET as intelligent and self-aware. That presupposition causes them to wonder why salvation would not be offered to ET. After all, ET would be capable of moral decisions and thus be intelligent enough to choose Christ or not. If God did not arbitrarily withhold salvation from ET, then is not it reasonable to argue that, just as the second person of the Trinity had to be incarnate in human flesh to save humans, he would have to become incarnate in “ET flesh” to save ET? C.S. Lewis actually produced a good bit of material on such questions, but Christians today seem to think such questions are worthless. They would no doubt change their minds quite quickly were NASA to announce something as mild as “lower life forms” in space. Once the ET cat is out of the bag, all such questions become germane, and the contemporary Church should be ready. In fact, because of our technology, the need is even greater today for Christians to be thinking about such things as it was fifty years ago for Lewis and centuries ago for other theologians.

UNEARTHLY MESSAGES PART 1: ETs THROUGH A SPIRITUAL PRISM
WOULD ET LIFE LEND SUPPORT TO EVOLUTION? Since the Bible does not say God created ETs, if there were genuine aliens, the only options would be: (a) God made them, (b) another Being superior to them made them, or (c) they got here by natural processes. Most conservative Christians would naturally opt for option “a”— but does that mean that we have only an argument from silence to defend Biblical integrity? Some Christians (e.g., believing scientists who accept evolution as a divinely created process inherently operative within carbon life forms) would opt for the third choice and use it in concert with “a.” But since the Bible said nothing about ET, the discovery of life in space could easily be used as an argument for the idea that all information about life’s origin should be found outside the Bible. In other words, while we have the Biblical statement that God created Adam and Eve, in the absence of a similar statement about ET, opponents of creationism (in any form) could argue that ET’s presence shows us the independent, random, and “unintelligent” (i.e., undirected) operation of evolution. Why not go all the way and get rid of the silly idea of God? My point here is not that such logic is compelling. Rather, the point is that many people would follow it, which means an apologetic and evangelistic response would have to be formed to specifically follow this trajectory. Why wait until the day it happens? Christians involved in ufology are already thinking in these terms and seeking to get the Christian community to think on them as well. WOULD AN ET REALITY LEND CREDIBILITY TO THE IDEA OF “SEEDING” Would the plurals in Genesis 1:26 then imply that God used ETs to create us? What if ET was genetically similar to us? Would the plurals of Genesis 1:26 then mean or imply that they made us? After all, to even a modern person an ET who could do that would be pretty godlike. It should be pretty obvious that people for whom the Bible is not a sacred book would scarcely be satisfied with hearing us quote Bible verses in response to such questions as these. You might say, “Well, we don’t have to worry about that since there’s no proof there are aliens.” We would agree that there is presently no proof, but that does not mean there will never be such proof. And that objection is little more than a distraction from the real issue: even though there is no concrete proof for alien life, many people believe that there are aliens and are already asking these questions. Without coherent answers, they will assume the JudeoChristian worldview is deficient or even bankrupt as an accurate representation of reality. And answers will not be at the ready unless Christians start getting “into” ufology so as to address the issues it raises.

PARADIGM SHIFT 2 – WE DISCOVER THAT DEMONIC MANIFESTATIONS ARE MORE REAL AND PRESENT THAN OUR THEOLOGICAL COMFORT ZONE ALLOWS It has been an observation that a good percentage of those Christians confronted with the issue of UFOs and abductions simultaneously like to assert they are demonic entities but then scoff at the idea that such entities are really doing the kinds of things one reads about in alien abduction literature: physically harming people, scanning their minds, giving them overviews of their life and the future, showing them hybrid babies they have fathered or birthed through genetic manipulation, etc. That is just too much, demonic entities surely are not capable of these things. These Christians seem to want to keep Satan and his minions on the street corner with the drug addicts and prostitutes or in Afghanistan with Islamic fundamentalists, or in satanic cults. The alien stuff is just too weird and yet the demonic explanation is preferable to genuine aliens coming here and sexually abusing people. Lest we be misunderstood at this point. While we have no theological problem with there being genuine alien life forms on other planets, we think that the demonic explanation for what we refer to today as alien abductions (and a certain number of UFO accounts) is the most coherent view. However, we do believe that demonic entities can, have, and do physically abuse people, including Christians. It has been on ongoing amazement to me that the very people who should be the most predisposed to believing in a “here and now” spiritual battle between good and evil (i.e., Christians) are often the most reluctant to acknowledge the notion that it is really happening. I think there are two reasons for this. 1. Many biblical scholars (perhaps most) in the evangelical world are cessationists when it comes to things like the supernatural gifts (tongues, healing, etc.) being “for today.” They are sensitive to that issue because the modern charismatic movement has so badly abused the Bible and produced a disturbing number of moral and financial scandals in the name of the Holy Spirit. Anyone who has read much cessationist literature knows that the some of the modern display of the gifts of the Spirit are often attributed to demonic fakery and psychological self-suggestion, so as to lead the Church away from sound doctrine and the rigorous study of the Bible. This has created an adamant insistence within much of evangelicalism on “not being charismatic,” which has in turn devolved into an attitude that any immanent activity of those beings that inhabit the spiritual plane (even God at times) gets filtered through a rationalistic, cessationist mindset. This mindset is basically completely closed to any sort of dramatic UNEARTHLY MESSAGES A PRODUCTION OF REMA MARKETING ©2013, All rights reserved.

UNEARTHLY MESSAGES PART 1: ETs THROUGH A SPIRITUAL PRISM
interplay between the spirit world and our world. Even if one can provide examples from the Bible for some current event the response is typically “Well, that is not for today, so there must be some other explanation.” We say all this to make a solitary point: modern Christians have been conditioned, for perhaps understandable reasons, against believing that the spiritual world is currently active in visible, tangible, observable ways. Yes, we believe in our heads that it is real, but we want to deny it is alive. The latter is just too “paranormal.” 2. This one is what one calls “the Peretti problem.” In the wake of Frank Peretti’s bestselling Christian novels, many non-charismatics have been turned off to the immediacy of the spirit realm. Peretti’s portrayal of demonization frankly goes beyond what can be gleaned from the Scriptures in that he seemingly wants to see a demon behind every problem, character flaw, and sin, rather than admitting that we are often to blame for our own poor decision making. Peretti’s exaggerated “demonology,” which borders on the silly at points, has made it tough to argue for a supernatural worldview to non-charismatics. Whether consciously or unconsciously, many people do not want to believe that darkness really is so tangibly present as the demonic view of the alien abduction phenomena suggests because they are uncomfortable with the Peretti portrayal. Overcoming the cessationist bias and the “Peretti problem” is only one task. Christians weaned on an overrationalistic approach to the Bible need to understand that Biblical theology allows a number of ideas that they may not have thought about very deeply with respect to the spirit world. For example, we would suggest that sound doctrinal analysis of Scripture allows (and even demonstrates): (a) that spiritual manifestations today need not take the same form as in biblical periods, (b) that spiritual manifestations may be truly physical (you could touch them and they can touch you), (c) spiritual manifestations often cloak themselves in ways that conform to cultural expectations, either to not stand out or to “fit” into the worldview of the person being contacted, and (d) spiritual beings can directly influence people to further an agenda, and this influence can be direct or indirect. If at least some UFO sightings and the alien abduction phenomenon are correctly attributed to demonic manifestation, why should Christians care? WE NEED TO SURRENDER OUR COMFORT WHEN IT COMES TO DEMONOLOGY The idea that spiritual beings can move from their plane of reality to ours is neither new nor foreign to students of the Bible. However, the non-charismatic evangelical world has been less than enthusiastic about living as though this reality was truly present, intelligently purposeful, and no farther away than the tip of one’s nose. Modern Christians who operate

more from an intellectual base than anything else need a wakeup call. Dealing seriously with the occult patterns in alien abduction and UFO contactees will certainly give that to you. It may even compel you to reconsider the tidy package evangelicalism currently calls “angelology” to test its own Biblical moorings. WE NEED TO TAKE SERIOUSLY THE POWER OF SPIRITUAL MANIFESTATIONS. This one is for the post-modern Christian. Post-moderns are noteworthy (or notorious) for rejecting the old, “modern” rationalism characteristic of much of mainline evangelical Christianity. But while this reaction makes this audience more open to the “world behind the matrix” of our own material plane of reality, it means that this audience is more prone to accept what is experienced as truth. Just because you become aware of the spiritual world in a very visceral way does not mean that you understand it or are in control of it. Your experience does not validate your experience. IT MEANS THAT CHRISTIANS CAN BE DEMONIZED By “demonized” it does not mean “possessed” but we mean more than the traditional evangelical camp has been prone to acknowledge. It is quite common in the writings of evangelical Christians who venture into the study of UFOs and alien abductions to reject the idea that Christians can be victimized. It is also common to argue that, when Christians are affected, it is because they have invited the event by virtue of some occult dabbling (knowingly or otherwise). These positions lack Biblical merit and also fail to conform to the research realities. Christian pastors frequently encounter people in their churches who have had some sort of UFO/alien experience. Even more frequently, people in their churches know someone else, someone they consider highly trustworthy, to have had such experiences. Knowing little or next to nothing about ufology is a hindrance to helping such people process their experience. The same could be said for turning the matter into the butt of jokes. Dismissing “experiences” as in need of psychotherapy rather than being conversant with what it is they experienced IT MEANS THAT CHRISTIANS ARE ENGAGED IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE Scholarly research has demonstrated that there are many areas of overlap between modern UFO contacts and alien abductions and various occult practices. Any Christian concerned with understanding the pervasive influence in our culture (and our churches) of practices and beliefs propounded by what are broadly referred to as the “New Age” or “neo-pagan” movements ought to be interested in ufology. Much in ufology appears to be little more than

Gnosticism or ancient paganism repackaged for the 21st Century technological society. While it takes far less mental energy to just laugh at ufology and aliens and conspiracy culture, it is far more effective to “experiences” and those who know them when one can intelligently demonstrate that researchers within and outside the ufology community have noted quite a few links to paganism and occultism.

HOLLYWOOD SHAPING OF PUBLIC OPINION
Robbie Graham is a full-time doctoral candidate at the University of Bristol for a PhD examining Hollywood’s historical representations of UFOs and extraterrestrial visitation. He has broadcast on BBC Radio, Coast to Coast AM and Canal+ TV and has written for a variety of publications including The Guardian, New Statesman, Filmfax, Fortean Times, Adbusters and the peer-reviewed journal 49th Parallel. In 2011 he produced an article which is one of the best to address the influence of Hollywood in shaping popular cultures perception on the UFO Phenomena. The article is as follows: “We can define a ‘UFO movie’ as any motion picture that taps directly into any aspect of UFO mythology or notably draws inspiration from UFOlogical literature, incorporating into its plot references to frequently debated UFOlogical phenomena, events and locales, as well as specialised UFOlogical terminology. With this definition in mind, it’s safe to say that the first decade of the new millennium was witness to the release a dizzying array of Hollywood UFO movies.
Of course, flying saucers have always sold well at the box-office – from the Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) to Independence Day (1996) and beyond – but the decade past saw an explosion in the popularity of the UFO subgenre with such Hollywood fare as Signs (2002), Men in Black 2 (2002), Dreamcatcher (2003), The Forgotten (2004), War of the Worlds

(2005), Chicken Little (2005), Altered (2006), Slither (2006), Transformers (2007), The Day the Earth Stood Still remake (2008), Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), The Objective (2008) Race to Witch Mountain (2009), Monsters vs. Aliens (2009), Aliens in the Attic (2009), Knowing (2009), The Fourth Kind (2009), Planet 51 (2009), and Skyline (2010), to name but a few. With major TV series such as the recently re-booted V (2009-) and Spielberg’s Taken (2002) added to the mix, audiences stood little chance against what amounted to a full-scale alien invasion of our popular culture. But the invasion did not end when the decade did as 2011 also has begun with an extraterrestrial boom at the box-office. With the Brit comedy Paul and the Spielberg production I Am Number Four kicking-off the year, and with Battle: Los Angeles and Mars Needs Moms released in US cinemas this week, 2011 will see the release of numerous UFO movies, including the post-apocalyptic The Darkest Hour, the NASA moon conspiracy chiller Apollo 18, a remake of The Thing, the low budget horror Area 51, and, with Spielberg acting as producer: Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Cowboys and Aliens, Super 8, and the epic alien invasion series Falling Skies. Looking farther afield, 2012 will bring Men in Black 3 (Spielberg again), the ‘Navy vs. aliens’ actioner, Battleship (2012), and the NASA black-ops thriller Dark Moon (noticing a sinister moon theme developing?), while 2013 promises the paranoid alien conspiracy thriller, Umbra (2013). Debate has rattled on for years among UFO researchers as to precisely what impact – if any – Hollywood has on popular perceptions of UFOs. Do UFO movies serve to fictionalise the phenomenon for audiences, or to actualise it? There is an argument to be made that Hollywood entertainment may actually serve both functions simultaneously. Philosopher Jean Baudrillard suggested that “simulation threatens the difference between true and false, between real and imaginary.” In the case of the Hollywood UFO movie this is true now more than ever, as cinematic simulations of UFOlogical history have all but consumed through the process of replication the history itself – just as humans were consumed and replicated as ‘pod people’ in genre classics such as Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) or John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982). The blurring of true and false, real and imaginary within the context of that most fantastical of genres – science-fiction – engenders popular acceptance of the UFO as just that: a fictional cinematic construct with little or no grounding in lived historical reality.

But while cinema may fictionalise the UFO phenomenon in the mind of the viewer, so too, paradoxically, may it actualise it. The philosopher Walter Benjamin recognised cinema for its “unique faculty to express by natural means and with incomparable persuasiveness all that is fairylike, marvellous, supernatural [and, we might add, alien],” and the artist Valie Export speaks of films as “expansions of our structures of time and space, of our experiential structures... they are expansions of our reality and our independent consciousness.” Through cinema, Export suggests, “the past is made visible, space and time can be transported... the boundaries between artificial and natural reality, between actual and possible reality... between man and object are transcended.” The actualising power of the image is not to be underestimated, for, as was observed by radical thinker Guy Debord, “where the real world changes into simple images [as it does in today’s visual culture], the simple images become real beings and effective motivations of hypnotic behaviour [or, indeed, belief].” Whether cinema serves to fictionalise the UFO phenomenon, actualise it, or both, one thing is clear: what was true in the 20th Century holds true in the 21st: Hollywood does not so much inform UFOlogy as UFOlogy informs Hollywood. Truly original ideas – or at least original takes on existing ideas – in the UFO subgenre, or in any genre for that matter, are rare in American cinema. Inevitably, then, in the new millennium, as ever, Hollywood continues to rely on UFOlogical literature for its inspiration, and never before has the industry’s parasitic reliance upon UFOlogy been more evident, nor the blurring of UFO fact and fantasy more sophisticated. To demonstrate these points, let’s take a look at selected UFO movies from the past few years. In 2003 director Joe Dante’s Loony Toons Back in Action mixed live action and animation to bring Warner Bros.’ classic cartoon characters to new audiences in the 21st century. In a pivotal scene, the film’s human protagonists (played by Brendan Fraser and Jenna Elfman) along with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck stumble across a Top Secret military base in the Nevada desert where they see live alien creatures sealed in giant glass jars; the self-reflexive twist here, though, is that all of these specimens are iconic ‘monsters’ or characters from science-fiction cinema and television: the eponymous Robot Monster and the Man from Planet X; Daleks from Doctor Who; a Mutant from This Island Earth; and Warner Bros.’ very own Marvin the Martian. The odd one out alongside these fantastical celluloid creations is a typical alien ‘Grey’ from UFO-lore stretched out on a medical table; this supposedly factbased rendering effectively fictionalised by its association with the line-up of schlock Hollywood creatures that precedes it.

Disney’s live action family film Race to Witch Mountain is perhaps one of the most significant films of its decade in terms of UFOlogical content. Working within the narrative constraints of the film’s previous incarnation, Escape to Witch Mountain (1975), director Andy Fickman – a self-confessed UFO ‘buff’ born and raised in Roswell, New Mexico – took pride in infusing his remake with as many elements as possible drawn directly from UFO literature. In a 2010 interview, Fickman explained to me that the majority of the film’s UFO-related content had been shaped by him from the outset. When Fickman first received the script from Disney it had been “more of a comedy,” but the director felt the material should be treated seriously and wanted to make use of events, debates and terminology featured in recent UFO literature: “I’m willing to do this movie,” Fickman told Disney, “but I want to ground it in as much reality as I possibly can.” To this end, Fickman personally schooled his cast – including Dwayne Johnson and Carla Gugino – in UFO history: “I would spend time with my actors literally just going through ‘UFO 101 – we’d watch every DVD that was out there, every documentary; I would give them book, upon book, upon book.” Fickman noted that:
In UFO mythology – in terms of literature, in terms of research – there begins to become a language; people in the UFO movement would easily speak of Roswell and have very clear ideas of what that means, what an ‘EBE’ means – all of this terminology we were kind of slipping in... even the wormhole theory of travel and how someone could visit us from so many light years away – that was all stuff that we were repositioning for our own mythology and storytelling, but all based on previous research.

The film opens with a dramatic, rapid montage of real UFO-related newspaper reports, as well as famous UFO footage and photographs. Towards the end of the montage, however, Fickman subtly edits in faux newspaper reports relating to fictional events from his own film.Following this montage, we see military personnel in a NORAD command-style facility monitoring a UFO as it plummets to Earth. Soon after, we are introduced to the story’s primary antagonist – Henry Burke (Ciaran Hinds) – a specialist in UFO crash/retrieval scenarios who carries with him a thick ring-bound document displaying, in bold lettering, the words: “PROJECT MOON DUST: CLASSIFIED.” Project Moon Dust appealed to Fickman because “It was coming new to the [UFO] mythology.” “It’s fun for me to talk to you,” Fickman told me, “because you’re somebody who gets when he [the character] is carrying that [Project Moondust] folder you can really appreciate that there’s some historical truth to that, or at the very least some historical reporting of it, whereas to a lot of people it was just a prop.” Such minute attention to detail was a bid on Fickman’s part to “engage the UFO community.” In a scene in which the characters attend a Las Vegas UFO convention, the director went so far as to populate the set with real UFO researchers and enthusiasts: “almost every extra in there was someone from the UFO community,” said Fickman; among these people most notably – and visibly – are Whitley Strieber (whose 1985 book Communion was largely responsible for popularising debates surrounding alien abductions), Dr. Roger Leir (a medical doctor famous for specialising in the removal of alleged alien implants from abductees) and William J. Birnes (editor of UFO Magazine). Although Fickman recognises that his film is first and foremost an entertainment product, he is hopeful that it may also hold some educational value with regard to UFOs and encourage wider acceptance of the fundamental reality of the phenomenon (this ‘reality’ being that UFOs, regardless of their nature and origin, exist, and are treated seriously by numerous governments). Ironically, however, by grounding his ‘science-fiction’ film so deeply in UFOlogical literature, by incorporating so many references to documented UFOlogical theories and events, the director arguably has further muddied the waters on a subject he hopes one day will be treated seriously by mainstream science and culture. In this regard, Jean Baudrillard would have observed that Fickman’s film actually “masks and perverts the basic reality” of the UFO phenomenon. Although Fickman and Dante’s blurring of boundaries between UFO fact and fantasy was largely unintentional, a trend is currently emerging in Hollywood that sees filmmakers seek actively to dissolve these boundaries through the utilisation of veritie techniques and wilfully

deceptive viral marketing campaigns. The Fourth Kind (2009), for example, was purported by Universal studios to be a true story “based on actual case studies” from the files of Dr. Abigail Tyler – a psychologist who had collected disturbing testimonies from the town of Nome, Alaska, where numerous residents allegedly had vanished since the 1960s. Archive news clippings from various Alaskan newspapers were presented by Universal online, painting a picture of a town historically plagued by UFO sightings and apparent alien abductions. The film itself was presented as a docudrama featuring “real” footage documenting the events in Nome alongside dramatic reconstructions with Hollywood actors.In the opening scene, actress Milla Jovovich, looking directly into the camera, tells the audience: I’m actress Milla Jovovich and I will be portraying Dr. Abigail Tyler... every scene in this movie is supported by archive footage.” At various points throughout the film the ‘dramatic reconstructions’ and footage of the ‘real events’ are presented simultaneously in split-screen form in order that the viewer can clearly distinguish between the two; the irony being, of course, that none of it is real. Not only was the “real” footage fabricated in its entirety, but so too were all of the Alaskan news clippings used by Universal in its marketing campaign. Dr. Abigail Tyler never existed; neither did anyone else portrayed in the film. When this elaborate Hollywood sham was revealed, Universal was served with a lawsuit from the Alaska Press Club, to whom the studio agreed to pay $20,000 for undermining the credibility of the various Alaskan papers whose names had been exploited by the studio. Also working from a $10 million budget, the independent alien invasion film Skyline (2010) similarly incorporated real news stories into its marketing campaign. This time the stories weren’t fabricated. The trailer for the film begins with bold text against a cosmic backdrop reading: “On August 28, 2009, NASA sent a message into space farther than we ever thought possible in an effort to reach extraterrestrial life.” This is true. On the date specified, the Australian government, through its “Hello from Earth” science initiative, and with the help of NASA, sent some 26,000 (carefully vetted) messages from the public to the extra-solar Earth-like planet Gliese 581d in a single transmission. This proactive approach to alien contact known as METI (Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence) differs from the traditional passive approach favoured by SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), which devotes its efforts simply to listening for any potential incoming alien signals. The METI approach is controversial for the reason that some scientists consider it unwise to knowingly alert our presence in the galaxy to any potentially technologically superior civilizations. In April 2010, Professor Stephen Hawking made international headlines by stating his firm belief that

25
UNEARTHLY MESSAGES PART 1: ETs THROUGH A SPIRITUAL PRISM
humanity should seek to avoid extraterrestrial contact: "To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational," Hawking said, but added, ominously, "If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn't turn out very well for the American Indians.” Hawking suggested that aliens "might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet” and would perhaps be “looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach.”
Skylinemade use of Hawking’s comments in its trailer, which shows well known American newsreaders, including Dan Rather, citing the renowned physics professor regarding the potential dangers of extraterrestrial contact. The trailer then cuts to panoramic views of an American city being obliterated by dozens of the “massive ships” to which Hawking had referred in real life. Against a black screen, again referring to Hawking’s warning, bold text then reads: “Maybe we should have listened.” A thoroughly documented historical UFOlogical event is at the heart of Battle: Los Angeles (2011), the marketing for which effectively blurred fact and fantasy in its prominent use of a real photograph of a saucer-shaped Unidentified Flying Object which in 1942 hovered silently for several hours over Los Angeles, drawing heavy artillery fire from the US Army to no apparent effect. The incident resulted in the deaths of six civilians and is known to UFO researchers as ‘The Battle of Los Angeles.’ UNEARTHLY MESSAGES A PRODUCTION OF REMA MARKETING ©2013, All rights reserved.

Because cinematic texts – especially those in the sci-fi genre – are seen as forms of public fantasy, Hollywood’s longstanding parasitic reliance upon historical UFOlogical discourse as inspiration for its fictional UFO-themed movies arguably has been the primary contributing factor in the blurring of UFO fact and fantasy in the public mind, and thus to the deligitimisation of the UFO phenomenon in mainstream culture. At the same time, in light of cinema’s remarkable capacity to transcend the boundaries “between actual and possible reality,” this very same reliance may also have contributed to the actualisation of UFOs and extraterrestrials. Hollywood has saturated us with extraterrestrial imagery and familiarised us with UFOlogical concepts and terminology to the extent that UFOs and aliens are now permanent fixtures in our cultural landscape, occupying the realm of our cinematically expanded reality, of our hyperreality – a realm where “reality and simulation are experienced as without difference.” In this sense, Hollywood could very well be serving to acclimatize us to UFO reality, as some in the UFO research field have suggested. Whether this acclimatization is the result of a natural cultural process driven by autonomous Hollywood creatives savvy to the box-office appeal of the UFO, or whether political forces embedded within the industry (such as the CIA) have conspired to pursue an agenda of sophisticated UFO perception management and gradual disclosure, the impact on popular perceptions of the UFO phenomenon is the same. Some sixty years after Mikel Conrad’s The Flying Saucer (1950) landed in Hollywood as the industry’s first fully fledged UFO movie, the dynamic between UFOlogy and UFO cinema today brings to mind Baudrillard’s allegorical musings on the Borges tale “where the cartographers of the Empire draw up a map so detailed that it ends up exactly covering the territory” and where, eventually, the “double ends up being confused with the real thing.” Applying this allegory in the context of this discussion, if the UFO phenomenon itself is the territory: as a vast and largely unexplored landscape of nevertheless factually documented historical reality, then UFO cinema is the map: as a simulacrum so detailed as to be indistinguishable from the events it has simulated.”

5. UNEARTHLY MESSAGES EXAMINED
The following testimonies to come in part 2 and 3 are a compilation of years of interviews with alien abductees; it also includes research and study by various counselors and psychiatric professionals. My purpose here is to read through their interviews and consider what the “aliens” have told their abductees in an effort to piece together their story and see what kind of picture it painted. First, I wanted to see if there was any consistency in the messages the aliens delivered, and second, to see if I could come to some kind of conclusion based on what the aliens said, to determine where they were from, and what their agenda was and still is. Third, and finally, to see if these experiences are biblical and can be backedup by scriptures. After all my research, it did not surprise me to discover everything these particular abductees experienced could be found in, and supported by, the Bible and endtime prophecies.
Most of these testimonies were taken before the media was so full of outer space stories and UFO sightings. These people did not reveal their stories to become well known. On the contrary, they were afraid to tell their stories for fear of ridicule. I, myself, experienced some of that ridicule just in writing this book. I have a friend that said to me, “Why would you want to write such a book anyway?” I thought it was strange he would question the purpose of such a book, especially when I found out later that his wife’s family in South Carolina had a spaceship land in their backyard and had alien beings get out of the spaceship, which caused great fear to come on them. Nevertheless, read the testimonies and decide for yourself what it’s all about. Some of their testimonies and their psychiatrist’s/interviewer’s questions have been paraphrased to prevent UNEARTHLY MESSAGES A PRODUCTION OF REMA MARKETING ©2013, All rights reserved.

UNEARTHLY MESSAGES PART 1: ETs THROUGH A SPIRITUAL PRISM
violation of any copyright laws. For an example, where the original testimony may have said something like, “As I turned around, I saw this saucer-like craft that had red and green rotating lights” might have been changed to say, “When I turned and looked, in front of me was a spaceship with red and green lights moving around its perimeter.” The meaning remains the same, but copyright law requires me to rewrite everything quoted into my own words. However, most publishers and authors gave me permission to quote the testimonies exactly as they were originally written. One of the greatest mysteries that has caught the attention of this generation is the UFO/alien phenomenon. Some of our most scientific minds can only guess who they are, where they are from, and what their intentions are. And when it comes to guessing, the explanation that comes from the most intelligent scientists is not any better than anyone else’s. However, when we search the ancient text of the most trusted writings known to man, the Holy Bible, we can find amazing answers and confirmations to this phenomenon. For someone to say, “Oh, that’s just the devil” is such a generality that it really displays an ignorance of the person speaking. I’m sure such a person just doesn’t know what else to say. In this book, we will take a look at the Bible Prophesies that reveal an alien landing on our planet in these end times; you will see what their hidden agenda is, how to protect yourself from them, and finally, what the future of mankind is predicted to be after their landing. You will discover that Jesus Christ, Himself, spoke about their landing on earth just prior to His return. Their landing is also prophesied in the Book of Isaiah as well as in the Book of Revelation. We will find that the prophet Daniel foretells their mingling with the “seed of men,” which explains the existence of the hybrid human beings. There is a biblical explanation that will reveal how they can fly around in their spaceships and make 90 degree turns and rapid acceleration without being affected by gravity. We will also see why they must land all over the earth at a predetermined time set by God the Father himself, and why God will allow this to happen and what He expects the results to be.

We can find an explanation of why they are abducting people from all over the world, and why they are taking the sperm and eggs from the men and women to make hybrid human beings. I will share with you the recorded testimonies of several abductees that were shared with their psychiatrist/interviewer. We will examine closely what the abductees were told and what they experienced. We will discover how amazingly these experiences can be backed up and supported by the Bible, and how they will parallel what has been prophesied to happen in these end-times. And finally, for the benefit of those who have been abducted, I will share what some have found to be effective in stopping the aliens from abducting them. It’s not a magical formula, but it has been effective for those who have learned what the requirements are. Plus, I have given the address of a website that is full of actual testimonies from experiencers who have been successful in stopping the aliens from taking themselves, and/or their families, captive. “You now face a new world, a world of change. We speak in strange terms, of harnessing the cosmic energy; of ultimate conflict between a united human race and the sinister forces of some other planetary galaxy; the nations of the world will have to unite, for the next war will be an interplanetary war. The nations of the earth must someday make a common front against attacks by people from other planets.”92 (General Douglas MacArthur, 1955) “If there was no public enemy, there would be no pressure from the public to do anything about it. So we simply denied all extraterrestrial activity, because no aliens, meant no military responsibility to counter their threat. But all the while we were still planning, measuring hostile intentions, and pushing through weapons development that might reduce their advantage…..Those were hard times, made even harder because the U.S. military also knew that not just the free world, but the whole world, was under a military threat from a power far greater than the combined forces of the Soviet Union and the Republic of China. We didn’t know what the EBEs (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities) wanted at first, but we knew that between the cattle mutilations, surveillance of our secret weapons installations, reports of strange abduction of human beings, and their consistent buzzing of our unmanned and manned space launches, the EBEs weren’t just friendly visitors looking for a polite way to say, ‘Hello, we mean you no harm.’ They meant us harm, and we knew it. The problem was we couldn’t do anything about it at first, and anything we did try to do had to be done in complete secrecy or it would set off a worldwide panic, we believed.”93 (Col. Philip J. Corso (Ret.))

Monsignor Corrado Balducci is the official Exorcist for Rome, former diplomat in the Papal Nunciature in Washington DC, past
theologian
member of
the
Vatican’s Congregation for the
Propagation of the Faith. He is also the Vatican’s (tacit) point-man for ufology. Balducci has gone on Italian national television five times in the past several years to proclaim that Star Visitor contact
is a real phenomenon!
The Monsignor further noted that Star
Visitor encounters are NOT demonic. Balducci noted that if anything
he said displeased the Pope, he would have long since been silenced. The Monsignor had just finished a theological paper entitled “Ufology And Theological Precision.” In his paper Balducci made excellent arguments from widespread human testimony, from philosophers, from the Bible, and from teachings of earlier Church Elders that: there are people on other planets, they have come here to make contact, and they are also children of God.”94 “The Lord certainly did not limit His glory to this small Earth. On other planets other beings exist who did not sin and fall as we did.” (St Padre Pio of Pietrelcina (1887-1968), canonized June 16, 2002) “The Rome Catholic Church is to team up with America’s space agency to look for life in outer space and so spread the Gospel to extraterrestrials. Jesuit Priests who run the Vatican’s Observatory near Rome say they are joining forces with the US NASA agency to hunt for UFOs and signs of life on other planets in the solar system similar to Earth’s. Should intelligent alien life be found, Fr. Coyne said, “The Church would be obligated to answer the question of whether extraterrestrials should be brought within the fold and baptized.”

Books like “Alien Contact: The messages they bring” make it clear that the New Age people are ready to receive them with open arms. Many of the Native American Indians have legends that indicate that they are looking for an outer space “savior/leader.” The Hopi Indians are looking to be rescued during hard times by the power of the Blue Star. The Mayans have had contact with them before according to some of their writings. According to the Quran in 42:30 it states,

“And among His Signs is the Creation of the heavens and the earth, and of whatever living creatures He has spread forth in both…And He has the power to gather them together when He will so please.”
How about you? Do you know enough Bible and do you understand what might happen if there is an alien/UFO landing? Would you know what to do if and when such an event should take place? Are we to accept them and their help, or are they the fallen angels come to rid the earth of mankind in order to take the earth back for themselves? God does not want His people to be ignorant. I believe that is the reason I have been led by the Holy Spirit to write this book. “lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices” (2 Corinthians 2:11).
The vast majority of people, including Christian believers, think that this life will always just continue on uninterrupted forever. “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation” (2 Peter 3:4) Some people think this is just a stupid fantasy. Even with all the evidence that’s available, they are ignorant of what has been happening all around the world. “But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant” (1 Corinthians 14:38). Don’t let that be you!

6. SECRET BROTHERHOOD BETWEEN ETs AND THE FALLEN ANGELS
Isn’t it interesting, after you buy a certain kind of car, you begin to notice all the cars on the road of the same make and model? Or if you buy a red car, you now see all the red cars that suddenly appear on the road? It’s because our focus has changed to see red cars that we didn’t see before. I guess it is human nature to stay focused on our own affairs in life. It’s like we have tunnel vision. We don’t see what’s going on around us. The Devil is aware of this tendency and will always try to take advantage of it. Jesus talked about this being that way in the days of Noah. People were marrying, buy and selling, making plans for the future, when all of a sudden the door closed on the ark and it started raining. Nobody had any thoughts about what they would do if the preaching of Noah was correct and a devastating flood was coming. They probably thought he was just a radical, or just a crazy man preaching something that never has happened before. Even the “intelligent scientist” of his day probably said such a flood was impossible. Then, without warning, it was too late. Since writing this book, my focus has changed. Like buying the red car example above, I now notice all the attention given by the media to “aliens from outer space.” How could I have been so blinded? This stuff is everywhere. It has increased mega-fold in the last several years. Well, I wasn’t really blinded I was just focused on the cares of life. Now, when I ask someone else if they have noticed all the attention aliens are getting in the movies and on TV and they say no, I completely understand why they would say that. In 2010, when the Lord began to bring my attention to the abduction phenomenon, my mind began to pop, so to speak, with scriptures. I would hear testimonies of alien abductions and what the aliens were saying to these people. It would just amaze me how obvious it was that these happenings were biblical. I say obvious, because I have been a bible teacher and pastor for years and so many bible verses were already in my memory. In my research I began to read books written by psychiatrists, psychologists and various interviewers who were in contact with alien abductees. I have watched recorded interviews of abductees on the Internet, some of whom were under hypnosis and some were not. I felt like I wanted to speak to these people in the books, or on the Internet, and say out loud to them,

“What you are experiencing is biblical. My reaction was to quote scripture and say, “This is real. It’s in the Bible.” So, let’s look at the scriptures. We will compare what the extraterrestrials (ETs) are able to do with what the Bible says all angels are able to do. I am convinced you will see that these beings are one and the same. The only difference is these angels are really “fallen” angels.
What we know about angels is as follows: “THEIR NUMBERS”: The main difference I see in the scripture between angels and demons, is angels have some kind of spiritual body, but demons seem to be disembodied spirits that are seeking a body to inhabit. These are the two types of beings that are in the kingdom of darkness. This kingdom is ruled by a fallen angel who used to be known as Lucifer. This angelic being, along with his entire kingdom is known as Satan. Satan literally means adversary. He is also called the great dragon, the serpent of old, and the Devil (Rev. 12:9). Today there are seven billion people in the world. Apparently, Satan does not lack the personnel to tempt and torment every human being on the planet. There is not a place on this planet you can go, where they can say, “This place is paradise. Nobody here has been

UNEARTHLY MESSAGES PART 1: ETs THROUGH A SPIRITUAL PRISM
tempted to do evil. They Devil did not have enough demon personnel to come to this place and torment us.” “THEIR APPEARANCE”: The first chapter of Hebrews makes a comparison between the Lord Jesus Christ, and the angels. It tells us that the Lord Jesus “has become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For to which of the angels did He ever say: ‘You are my Son, Today I have begotten You.’ ” “Let the angels of God worship Him” (Heb 1:4-6). In describing God’s creation of the angels it says, “Who makes His angels spirits and His ministers a flame of fire.” “Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?” Angels are spirit beings that are used to help us in this life. In contrast to angels, mankind was created in the image and likeness of God, but angels were not. Genesis 2:7 makes this distinction about the creation of mankind, “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath (spirit) of life; and man became a living soul” (KJV). And in Zechariah 12:1, it says God formed the spirit of man within him. This gives us the impression that our “form” was set and could not be changed. We will always be in the image of God. Even God Himself will not change His image, He formed Himself at the beginning. “Before Me there was no God formed” (Isa 43:10). It gives us the impression that once a spirit is “formed into a body,” that person becomes a “soul,” which does not change in appearance. There are several places in scripture God talks about His soul (Heb. 10:38, Jer. 5:9 & 29, 14:19 KJV, Isa. 42:1 and many more), but the word soul is never used in connection with angels. Since that is true, it leaves us with the impression that angels can appear in different forms. Also, since they can appear and disappear at will, they are probably moving in and out of a different dimension. Look at the description of the Cherubim angels of Ezekiel chapter one, “…And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man. Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings. Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the soles of calves’ feet. They sparkled like the color of burnished bronze. The hands of a man were under their wings on their four sides; and each of the four had faces and wings…As for the likeness of their faces, each

had the face of a man; each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle.”
This indicates to me that these angels could manifest themselves in four different ways. When we see different angels in the book of Revelation, some of them were full of eyes in front and in back. Some look so strange to the writer that he calls them living creatures. Yet most of the time, when they appear to us they look like a man. When they appeared to Abraham they looked human. To the men in Sodom the angles must have looked like men, because apparently they wanted to use them to have sex. I don’t think they would have felt that way if the angels appeared with all four faces at once like Ezekiel saw them. Perhaps, each face represents a different way these angelic beings can choose to manifest themselves. For an example, if the angel wanted to take on strength he might use the part of his being that would manifest as an ox. If he wanted to use the power of a conqueror, he would take on the appearance and attributes of the lion. If he wanted to fly fast, with keen eyesight, he might take on the appearance and attributes of the eagle. And finally, the appearance of a man would be used for wisdom and other Godly characteristics. That would explain Psalm twenty-two which talks about the bulls of Basham that encircled Jesus at His crucifixion. Jesus also cried out for deliverance from the mouth of the roaring lion, and the horns of the wild ox. These were probably some of the fallen angels of that area which came to watch him being crucified and were taunting him. However, Jesus is the mighty conqueror who defeated the entire kingdom of darkness himself. That would explain why in the scriptures Jesus is called “the Lion of the tribe of Judah.” Holy angels usually take on the appearance of a man. Anything else would be too fearful for us. Doesn’t it say in Hebrew 13:2 that some people are entertaining angels unaware when they encounter a stranger? One of the “aliens” told their captive, “Angels, like God, are neither male nor female. If I walked on the planet in my bodily form it would frighten everyone. I do however, come to the surface of your planet occasionally, but not in my own bodily form. I can, and do, however, give the illusion of looking differently, but it takes so much concentration that I become weak very quickly” (Meyer 2006, pg 92 & 93).

To this particular person the alien appearance was like the yellow Big Bird on the children’s TV program, except he appeared light blue in color. This made the alien so acceptable and huggable like a stuffed doll, and that’s the effect the alien wanted with this woman.
You might ask, “Why do most aliens make their appearance to be so scary?” The answer is, they want to paralyze their victims with fear. This is how they dominate them. In all horror movies, demons are portrayed as fierce, scary and powerful. This is a complete deceptive appearance. Jesus Christ so stripped them of their power and defeated them to the point they are have become nothing but wimps. However, that is only true for the believer in Christ. To the rest of the world they are still their conquerors. “THEIR STRENGTH AND ABILITY”: The author, Bill Weise, who spent 23 minutes in hell, said in his testimony that the demonic angels in hell were a thousand times stronger than a human being. Bill was very much into physical exercise so this fact made an impression on him when he was in hell. “Bless the Lord, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word” (Ps. 103:20).
The full extent of their strength is unknown to us. However, when the final battle is over, Satan becomes as weak as a fallen human being. “They shall speak and say to you: Have you also become as weak as we? Have you become like us? Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, and the sound of your stringed instruments; The maggot is

spread under you, and worms cover you. How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations!” (Isa 14:10-12)
Because angels live in another dimension and can do things human beings cannot do, they are classified as supernatural beings. They move about in a different dimension than we live in. They have the ability to block the memory of a human being (2Cor. 4:4). They have smote people with blindness (Gen. 19:11). They can lead you by the way that God wants you to go (Gen. 24:7). Angels used to appear in dreams and bring instruction to God’s people (Gen. 31:11 & Matt. 1:20-24). Angels can protect us (Ex. 14:18-19). Angels are used to clear the way for our success (Gen. 23:23). However, angels do not have the authority to forgive sin (Ex. 23:21), only God and Christians have the authority to forgive sin (Luke 5:24 & 1John 5:16). Therefore, when someone runs into the “brotherhood of extraterrestrials and fallen angels” you will find them doing supernatural feats. I called it the secret brotherhood of extraterrestrials and fallen angels because they are one and the same thing which is a secret to the world. Strong delusion is sent to the unbelievers. They will believe the lie. “THEY USED TO BE PART OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNIVERSE”: Angels used to be a major part of the Government of God’s kingdom. They are referred to as principalities (rulers), powers (authorities), might (powers) and dominions (Eph. 1:21). But when iniquity (perversion) came into the world then through the angel Lucifer, the government of God had to be drastically altered and rearranged. Now that evil had entered the world, God needed beings that were committed to him who had the understanding of evil without it being part of them. God needed a being (mankind) that had the knowledge of good and evil. That he accomplished in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on Calvary. “Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation” (2 Cor. 5:17).
Ezekiel gives us an insight into the original government of God in the twenty-eighth chapter. “You were the anointed cherub who covers (a cover is a protection. In the army we used to say, “cover me” while I climb the hill and attack the enemy. Then your fellow soldiers would fire their weapons at the enemy as a protection while you were exposed to the enemy’s firing at you. The enemy would hide or run for “cover” or run for protection”); I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God (mountain represent a ruling government. The prophet

Daniel describes the kingdom of the Messiah as a mountain that fills the whole earth. Dan. 2:35); You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones (perhaps this means angels of highest power and authority); You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you. By the abundance of your trading you became filled with violence within (He became like an organized crime boss or a mafia godfather), and you sinned; Therefore I cast you as a profane thing out of the mountain of God, O covering cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones…And I turned you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all who saw you. All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you; You have become a horror, and shall be no more forever” (Ezekiel 28:14-16 & 1819).
Since, in a perfect world, sin and perversion came into existence, angels no longer qualified to be government leaders or rulers. Therefore, the redeemed, born-again believers, who have the knowledge of good and evil, are being groomed for the throne in the new earth and new heaven. We are destined to reign as kings with the King of Kings, the Lord Jesus Christ! Along with Lucifer, one third of the angels chose evil and became fallen beings. They no longer possess the “Spirit of God” or the anointing. Adam lost the anointing in the Garden of Eden when he sinned, but Jesus Christ brought it back to us on the day of Pentecost. Hallelujah!
Now we are seated with Christ at the right hand of God in glory. We have
authority over all demons and fallen angels. Whatever we bind on earth is bound in heaven. When it says bound in heaven it is talking about the second heaven where Satan and his angels live. That means when we by faith take our authority over the works of the Devil here on earth, no angel in second heaven can override our authority. Mankind was created to reign with God and worship God. God gave Adam dominion over all the works of His hands. This is a position of highest authority under God. To temper that authority, God created us with the need and desire to worship Him. When you worship someone, you are submitting yourself to that person as a greater power. Fallen angels, therefore, work to deceive mankind into worshipping false gods. For in doing this, men and women are submitting themselves to the spirits (angelic being) behind the false religion or idol. Speaking of idols, it is interesting when we look at the gods of Egypt. They all look like the angels Ezekiel saw.

The ancient Egyptians worshipped gods that had all four of these faces. Satan received this worship through the false gods of Egypt which gave him dominion over the Egyptians. One of these idols in Egypt, named Osiris, looked like a bearded man (the face of a man) in mummy wrappings and was considered to be the king of the dead. Another idol they worshipped was the golden calf (the face of an ox). The image of a lion was used by many ancient cultures to guard the entrance to their cities. And finally the Egyptian god Horus, is a carved image of a man’s body with the head of a bird (the face of an eagle/falcon). All these false gods had the same “faces” or appearance the Cherub angel Ezekiel saw. Only these Cherub angels are fallen angels.
Egyptian history shows us some of the other false gods that they worshipped. One named Sekhmet had the body of a woman and the head of a lion. Another one called Hathor had a woman’s body with the head of a cow (or ox). The statue of Horus was shown as a man with the head of a bird. His appearance would vary depending on when in history he was depicted. Usually he had the head of a falcon. Then there is Ra. They believed he was the creator of mankind and was depicted as a man with the head of a hawk. Some of the other gods had a man’s body with a head of other animals or reptiles. The gods and their legends are all written in a book called, “The Book of The Dead.” How fitting. It’s in our nature to worship. That’s why there is very little in the Old Testament about the Devil or angels. Fallen mankind would worship them hoping to receive favor and blessings UNEARTHLY MESSAGES A PRODUCTION OF REMA MARKETING ©2013, All rights reserved.

from these “gods.” It wasn’t until Jesus Christ completely stripped the Devil and his kingdom of power and authority in the earth that the Bible gives us any detailed of revelation of demonic forces. In the book of Revelation, the Apostle John was so impressed with the things the “angel” was showing him, that he fell to the ground to worship the “angel” (Rev. 19:10 & 21:8-9). Even after John did it the first time and he was told not to do that, he fell at the feet of the angel to worship him a second time in chapter twenty-one. It is just in our nature to worship. I put the word angel in quotes because these are not angelic beings; they are glorified saints who are our brothers in Christ. Read the scriptures for yourself and you will see this is correct. With the understanding you will gain from this report, you will see why the aliens can do what they do, and why they can’t do the same things to a Christian who knows who they are in Christ and has faith in the name of Jesus. “These signs shall follow them that believe in My name… (Mark 16:17-18).

7. A COMING CHANGE TO WORLD RELIGION AND PHILISOPHY
There will soon be a major shift in the paradigm of all the people of the world. No longer will anyone think that we are alone in this universe. This will be damaging to all the religions of the world, including many “Christian” religions. Only mature Christians, (sometimes called Bible Thumpers), who have a deep understanding of the revelations of the Bible will understand what is really happening. I’m sorry to say, that is probably a minority of Christians. Even Jesus Himself said, “Will I really find any faith on the earth when I come?” (Luke 18:8) “Take heed that you are not deceived!” (Luke 21:8)
I will give you a brief overview of the events that are soon to take place. This view comes from some abductee’s testimonies and the Holy Bible; therefore, the bible references will be listed under “references” on the back page. To keep this book from being “too religious,” I am not going to always quote them. You can look them up if you are interested. However, when it comes to the abductees’ testimonies, I find it necessary to write out the scripture verses so you can see for yourself how biblical their experiences really are. Shortly before the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, the aliens will be forced to land on the earth1. In the scriptures, the angels are referred to by various names. They are called the host of exalted ones2, the stars of heaven3, the morning stars4, and the stars of God5. Even God Himself is referred to as The Lord of hosts.6 The word “host” is an old English word for army, or sometimes it just refers to a large number, like having a whole host of things to do. When the scriptures talk about the stars of heaven falling to the earth, it’s not talking about the ones we look at in the night sky, because that would put the entire universe out of balance. Rather, it is referring to these angelic beings, referred to as “stars.” A large number UNEARTHLY MESSAGES A PRODUCTION OF REMA MARKETING ©2013, All rights reserved.

of them followed an angel named Lucifer in a rebellious secession away from the Lord God. They rebelled because they chose the way of evil. Revelation 12:4 tells us one third of the angels fell, which would probably number into the millions. When the angel Lucifer was cast out of God’s heaven, which is called the third heaven7, he was thrown down to the earth like a bolt of lightning8. However, the next angelic decent from the second heaven, which is where they reside today, will be more gentle like a soft landing (probably in spacecrafts to make them more acceptable to mankind). The Bible describes it like this: “All the host of heaven shall be dissolved (meaning their organized ranks will be broken-up), and the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll (this dimension will be closed and shut-up); All their host shall fall down as the leaf falls from the vine, and as fruit falling from a fig tree9. And in another place it says, “And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind10. This represents a “soft” landing, like what a spaceship might make.
At first when they show up, these “aliens/fallen angelic beings” will seem to be peaceful. They will claim responsibility for the removal of the raptured saints. However, they will not use the term rapture; rather they will claim to have removed these people because they did not live in “symbiotic harmony” with the earth or they will claim they were removed to another planet to start over with populating another planet and extending the human race. (This comes from one of the abductee’s testimonies)

UNEARTHLY MESSAGES PART 1: ETs THROUGH A SPIRITUAL PRISM
To win the confidence of the people of the world they will perform miraculous signs and wonders such as healings and other feats11. They will claim to be “creators” and responsible for originally populating the earth with mankind. This idea has already been introduced to us many times through science fiction and outer space movies. To demonstrate that they are “our creators” they will have with them “hybrid” human beings that were produced from the abductees’ sperm and eggs12. They will ask our “intelligent” scientists to take a blood sample and test the DNA of these beings. The medical tests will be positive for human DNA, which will supposedly “prove” that these alien beings are our original creators. They will demonstrate an ability to save the world’s economy and ecology and heal us of our infirmities and diseases in order to win our trust. They will start out teaching peace and prosperity and then slowly and subtly, in cooperation with the Antichrist and the New World Order, they will lead the world into wars13. There will be such destruction that the entire human race will almost be wiped out14. So few people will survive this holocaust that the Bible declares a mortal (a human being) will become as rare as fine gold15. Talk about a shift in the paradigm of thinking. Never again will mankind think he is alone or the result of mere evolution. As you read the following testimonies for yourself you will see how the “aliens/angels” are preparing for the upcoming events just described.
