War!
H.G. Wells’ story, “War of the Worlds,” set in motion a panic among many Americans. When Orson Welles, who produced and directed the radio play by the same name, broadcast the program in 1938, thousands of U.S. citizens prepared for war against the invading Martians. They brought out shotguns, hunting rifles, axes, pitchforks –anything with which they could fend off the ghastly creatures Welles and the actors were describing. It was soon learned that it was all a fictional account of an extraterrestrial invasion, Orson Welles made his excuses and apologies, and things settled. But, not for long. By the early 1940s, the newly developing technology called “radar” was reflecting images that appeared to be unexplainable phenomena flying through earth’s atmosphere. “Unidentified Flying Objects” became a designation that was becoming ever more familiar to the public. UFO became the acronynm for the pacronym. The 1947 Roswell, New Mexico incident again snatched at the psyche of the American public. Reports of aliens among us took off faster than the shimmering discs that were given their names by the UFO observers who reported that they looked like “flying saucers.” Rather than the reports of UFOs and flying saucers subsiding with the advances in radar technology, and in sophistication of a more educated, informed public, the reports of feared alien insinuation into Planet Earth’s doings continue to proliferate. And this brings us to a recent action by some prominent Canadians. A number of groups have joined forces with former Canadian Defence Minister Paul Hellyer in urging Parliament to hold public hearings on "exopolitics" - or elations with extraterrerelations(ETs). Three non-governmental organizations (NGOs) were reacting to a speech made by Hellyer in September in Toronto in which he warned that "UFOs are as real as the airplanes that fly over your head."… The former Canadian defense minister is concerned that the United States is intimidating extraterrestrials, thus bringing about the possibility of “intergalactic war.” According to the former official, this intimidation is in the form of America’s desire to return to the Moon, upon which no American has set foot in decades. The U.S., according to Hellyer, intends to set up a base from which to fire upon the extraterrestrials, as a defensive measure against invasion. The Canadian government has stated that its senate would not be entertaining debate “on ET issues” in the foreseeable future. One spokesman for the group seeking to open debate said about the Canadian Senate’s refusal to allow it: "That does not deter us…We are going ahead with [plans to bring it up again in early 2006.]” The spokesman said further, "Time is on the side of open disclosure that there are ethical extraterrestrial civilizations visiting Earth” (Former Canadian Minister Of Defence Asks Canadian Parliament To Hold Hearings On Relations With Alien, "ET" Civilizations, Thu Nov 24, 7:00 AM ET, (PRWEB) - OTTAWA, CANADA (PRWEB) November 24, 2005). The term “ethical extraterrestrial” is the operative phrase. America should not be intimidating or provoking “ethical” aliens. This, of course, should be great fodder for those who view anyone who looks to the skies with thoughts of flying saucers–or any other UFO--as a kook. But, because it is those with humanistic credentials raising the worries of “intergalactic war,” it seems there is no reason to point fingers and laugh in their direction. Most people, even the humanist governors of Planet Earth these days, don’t flinch when ET is mentioned, as was once the common practice. Enough evidence has accumulated, and continues to accumulate, to dampen too much guffawing over possible encounters of the first, second, third, or even fourth kind. Here is what God’s Word, the Bible, has to say about the only ETs that exist –so far as anyone is able to ascertain. That is, the only that exist with the exception of God’s heavenly forces. Those ETs are anything but “ethical.” “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” (Ephesians 6:12). We are in a stupendous battle. It isn’t an “intergalactic war,” but an “interdimensional war” of immense ferocity. There is nothing “ethical” about the extradimensionals. They are dedicated to wreaking as much carnage and destruction upon Planet Earth as they can manage. God will let them have their way, to some extent, during the period called “Daniel’s seventieth week” –the Tribulation era, which will last seven years. People of this fallen sphere are likely to see these extradimensionals manifest themselves more and more while human history draws near Christ’s second coming. The UFOs, it is discerning to consider, are very possibly part of the delusion of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, now being constructed for the period following the evacuation of Christ’s church from earth’s deadly surface. “When you see all these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your head, for your redemption draws near” (Luke 21:28).
