23 Cosmic WarFare by Dr. Chuck Missler

We all know the Jimmy Stewart Christmas classic It’s a Wonderful Life. Every year we get to watch George Bailey grow up in Bedford Falls, and every year we empathize with his years of frustration.

One particular Christmas Eve, George’s uncle has lost $8000 of company money, and George is facing bankruptcy and jail. In a moment of hopelessness, he makes a heartfelt prayer to God for help before contemplating suicide. In answer, Clarence the angel is sent to help George. Clarence is a funny little old man - a one-time clockmaker. When George wishes that he’d never been born, Clarence grants him his wish, and George is given a different perspective on his own role in the bigger scheme of things.

He discovers that the life he’d found so disappointing has actually changed the whole town for good...

COMMENTARY James Now Available in DVD Format US$44.95 Audio CD US$44.95 RUNNING TIME Approx. 8 HOURS AVAILABLE on our online store: resources.khouse.org

The author of this epistle, we believe, was the brother of our Lord.

This James, along with the Lord’s other brothers, was an unbeliever before the resurrection.

Some feel that this epistle appears contradictory to Paul’s teaching, but the ostensible differences are easy to understand.

Paul focused on our justification before God. James focuses on the believer’s justification before men. His robust epistle focuses on the practical Christian walk rather than on doctrine; it is directed toward a living faith. Faith is not believing in spite of the evidence; Faith is obeying in spite of the consequences.

Join Dr. Chuck Missler in his in-depth commentary on the book of James.

FROM THE EDITOR

DEAR FRIENDS Dean Packwood Editor, Koinonia House

Y

ou'd have been considered a crazy person for believing in Aliens and UFOs prior to the ’50s, but during the ’50s and ’60s, there was a major shift in public opinion.

In the ’70s, like many of my generation, we grew up watching science fiction (Sci-Fi) TV shows like Star Trek, Land of the Giants and Space:1999. While these were mildly believable as glances into the future (especially to a kid with a lot of imagination, I mean, we were going to live on the moon by the year 2000), these pale in comparison to when I went along to my local cinema in 1977 to watch a new movie called Star Wars. I was blown away! I watched it 11 times that year... for $2 you could purchase your movie ticket, an ice-cream, soda, and sweets.

The ’70s was a huge leap in video effects capabilities. Full 3D Computer Generated Graphics (CGI) was used for the first time in the ’80s, and physically textured CGI the ’90s (used in the movie Jurassic Park.) In movies today, if done well, you just can't tell what is real and what’s not.

With so many superhero, Sci-Fi and alien computer games and movies coming out over the last few decades, what affect does this have on an audience that is largely without a Biblical understanding of the cosmos?

Where do aliens and UFOs fit in? Isn’t it only a matter of when not if Aliens will visit Earth? Or, are they already here? Now you’re considered a crazy person if you don’t believe in aliens.

In this issue of the Personal UPDATE, we have a couple of excerpts from two of Dr. Chuck Missler’s books, as he shares some insights about aliens, UFOs, and angels, that we hope you find useful in your studies.

In HIS service, Dean Packwood

“A wave of unprecedented appearances of UFOs in the skies of Israel has stirred up UFO enthusiasts and several thousands of other people who have been witnesses to unforgettable sights.

The mounting reports in recent weeks leave no room for doubt in the minds of many that UFOs have invaded Planet Earth!”

are on the verge of open and global recognition of the reality of UFOs (unidentified flying objects) and extraterrestrial life.

To many, this great shift in our understanding of our place in the cosmic community will usher in a period of unparalleled peace, prosperity, and global unity. On the other hand, many, including top UFO researchers, believe that we may be headed for the most bizarre— and most far reaching—challenge ever seen on this planet.

Are the UFOs real, or are they some form of delusion? Can anyone really take them seriously? What’s really going on?

It may come as a surprise to learn that a recent Gallup poll revealed that 72 percent of Americans believe in extraterrestrial life; 48 percent believe in UFOs and 15 percent believe they have seen a UFO. According to other polls, up to 3 percent believe that they have been abducted by a UFO!1 It turns out to be a gargantuan task to even catalog the volumes of the UFO reports in recent history. A bibliography of just the professional articles—excluding newspapers, etc.—lists 6,000 publications in English, 2,200 in foreign journals, and 1,350 periodicals published on the subject.2 Wading through the mountains of reports of sightings, encounters, and even accounts of abductions, one is confronted with an unmanageable barrage of unconfirmable testimonies, hoaxes, frauds, and deliberate disinformation—even from the government. Yet, there remain behind it all too many serious cases which involve multiple reliable witnesses and even tangible physical evidences, enough to bury even the most ardent skeptic.

A Sudden Change of Policy On August 6, 1996, a dramatic shift in policy was apparently set in motion. A press release, personally endorsed by none other than the NASA administrator Daniel Goldin himself, startled the entire world:3 “NASA Scientists Find Evidence of Life on Mars.”

The next day, President Clinton joined the elation with a press announcement on the South Lawn of the White House: “This is the product of years of exploration and months of intensive study by some of the world’s most distinguished scientists.

Like all discoveries, this one will and should continue to be reviewed, examined and scrutinized. It must be confirmed by other scientists.

But clearly, the fact that something of this magnitude is being explored is another vindication of America’s space program and our continuing support for it, even in these tough financial times.

I am determined that the American space program will put its full intellectual power and technological prowess behind the search for further evidence of life on Mars...

“Today, rock 84001 speaks to us across all those billions of years and millions of miles. It speaks of the possibility of life. If this discovery is confirmed, it will surely be one of the most stunning insights into our universe that science has ever uncovered. Its implications are as far-reaching and awe-inspiring as can be imagined. Even as it promises answers to some of our oldest questions, it poses still others even more fundamental.

“We will continue to listen closely to what it has to say as we continue the search for answers and for knowledge that is as old as humanity itself but essential to our people’s future.”

Since the announcement, a number of investigative teams have expressed considerable doubt regarding the evidence presented by Goldin and the NASA team.4, 5 Nevertheless, the event marked a significant policy change for the administration. Life in space was now “in.”

The cynics snickered that it was just a clever ploy by NASA to facilitate desperate funding. It may, however, be far more than that. In subsequent months the Mars announcement was followed by similar, less dramatic announcements by NASA touting the discovery of liquid water on Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons: “Jupiter’s Europa Harbors Possible ‘warm ice’ or Liquid Water” “Tantalizing new images of Jupiter’s moon Europa from NASA’s Galileo spacecraft indicate that ‘warm ice’ or even liquid water may have existed and perhaps still exists beneath Europa’s cracked icy 4 Scientific American, October 1996, pp. 20–22.

crust. Europa has long been considered by scientists and celebrated in science fiction as one of the handful of places in the solar system (along with Mars and Saturn’s moon Titan) that could possess an environment where primitive life forms could possibly exist.”6 A subsequent news release heralded the possibility of a mass of ice in the giant crater known as the Aitken Basin near the south pole of the moon.7 More announcements of this kind are sure to follow.

Understandably, this fanfare has made life in space a hotter topic than ever. The euphoria was soon enhanced by subsequent Mars missions, which predictably supplied more “evidence” to fan the interest.

The Mars Global Surveyor reached orbital insertion in March 1998 and began mapping for one Mars year (687 Earth days) until January 31, 2000. This was intended to be the first of a decade-long program of the robotic exploration of Mars, called the Mars Surveyor Program.

An aggressive series of orbiters and landers was planned to be launched every 26 months, as Mars moved into alignment with Earth.

The Pathfinder mission landed a small, 25 pound, six-wheeled robotic Rover (“Sojourner”) on Mars on July 4, 1997. It transmitted data collected on the atmosphere and surface and also transmitted images taken by the rover’s cameras.

In the meantime, while the U.S. press slept and the scientific community focused on the possibility of ancient microbes from Mars, a number of well-documented mass sightings of unidentified flying objects have continued around the globe which have convinced multitudes of the reality of UFOs. The Day Mexico City Stood Still On January 1, 1993, at 2:00 p.m., Mexico City became host to the most astonishing and best documented UFO event in recorded history.

Radio stations in recorded history. were inundated by phone calls while television stations preempted their regular schedules to broadcast the event. Videotapes of the event showed traffic backed up on Mexico City’s main thoroughfare, Avenida Reforma, as drivers and passengers emerged from their automobiles to get a look at the strange metallic disks.10 Later that day, at 3:51 and 5:21 p.m., two additional metallic, disk-shaped craft appeared and were also documented by local residents with camcorders.

On January 2, 1993, every major newspaper and news program covered the event which reportedly lasted five hours. One of Mexico City’s major newspapers, La Prensa, carried the headline, “Astonishment! UFOs over the Capital.” The event was also recorded by radar at the Mexico City International Airport.11 Incredibly, there was no reporting of this event in the U.S. press.

This was not the first UFO event in the skies of Mexico in recent years.

The Mexico UFO flap (a flap is a large number of sightings in a short time span) began on July 11, 1991, during the total eclipse of the sun that swept across the central part of Mexico. On that day, shortly after 1:00 p.m., 17 unrelated individuals, in four different cities, armed with cameras and camcorders, documented a metallic disk-shaped object hanging motionless below the eclipsed sun. This event became the first “mass-photographed” daylight disk in history. Interestingly, many of the witnesses didn’t realize they had photographed the disk until subsequent viewing of their tapes.

Examination of the videotapes revealed a solid, metallic, “hockey puck-shaped” object with counterclockwise rotation. Since that time, researchers have collected more than 700 video tapes of metallic, disk10 Voyagers of the Sixth Sun, produced by Genesis III. 11 Brit Elders, Connecting Link Magazine, Issue 27, Spring 1995, p. 92.

shaped UFOs observed in the skies over Mexico.12 More than 100 of the videotapes are daylight shots. In addition, many of these have been videotaped by local residents while being simultaneously tracked on radar by nearby airports. On March 4, 1992, air traffic controllers in Mexico City recorded a group of UFOs on their radar screens. The blips stayed for 40 minutes.

UFO researcher Brit Elders discussed the radar tracking of UFOs over Mexico: “...Mexico has in place and operational a highly sophisticated radar system, the TDX 2000. This air traffic management system has tracked and recorded unidentified objects simultaneous to the eyewitness reports of OVNIs [the Spanish term for UFOs] both from the ground and from pilots.”13 Commercial pilots and air traffic controllers have asked the Mexican government to investigate the problem due to a number of perceived “near misses.” However, when officials of the Mexican government held a press conference—during which they acknowledged the sightings— they said the UFOs posed no significant danger to the public. The UFO activity has even engendered the attention of Mexico’s news magazine 60 Minutos (the Mexican counterpart of 60 Minutes). The chief investigative reporter and editor of 60 Minutos, Jaime Maussan, has directed extensive research on the Mexico UFO flap and reported his results on However, when officials of Mexican television on numerous the Mexican government occasions.

commercial pilots, and Mexican governmental authorities. Although the sightings have been thoroughly covered in the Mexican press, according to researchers, the majority of the populace has become desensitized to their presence and have come to view the sightings as “routine.”

While opinions vary, many of the witnesses believe that the Mexico flap represents the fulfillment of ancient Mayan or Biblical prophesies.

Israel:“The Big Invasion” Starting in 1996, the borders of Israel became host to one of the most extraordinary UFO flaps in history. At 2:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 17, 1996, traffic on High Road in the Ramat Aviv section of Tel Aviv, Israel, came to a standstill when astonished motorists emerged from their automobiles to watch a UFO hovering near the city. Tel Aviv police received dozens of calls about a lighted object doing aerial acrobatics over the northern end of the city that were considered impossible for any conventional flying plane or helicopter. According to a report in Mai’ariv, one of Israel’s two largest daily newspapers, the event was witnessed by police along with hundreds of motorists at the scene.

Since the Israeli flap began, David Ronen, a reporter and editor for Mai’ariv newspaper has received hundreds of reports of UFO sightings as well as accounts of alleged contact with aliens by Israeli citizens. In his column Ronen noted that the sightings, which were previously restricted to relatively deserted areas, have started to occur in the more heavily populated coastland and city regions of Israel. In a 1997 interview for the British Journal UFO Reality, Ronen summarized the goings-on in Israel: “All at once, UFOs have begun to appear in the centre of Israel and in other areas throughout the country, as well as simultaneously in Iran and Australia. At precisely the same time (August 1996) a tide of eyewitness reports came in, this time not from individual people, but involving a wave of mass reports, including an intervention by the police and the army. The succession of reports is so staggering that it is already impossible to keep track of the hundreds and thousands of eyewitness reports that pour in each day.”15 15 UFO Reality, Issue 6, February/March 1997, p. 10.

One of the best documented sightings occurred on Sunday, August 4, 1996, around 2:30 a.m. in Eilat, Israel. According to some estimates, more than a thousand people saw a UFO traveling slowly over the perimeter of the city at a height of 200 meters above ground. The local police stations and emergency centers were deluged with dozens of reported sightings. An eyewitness to the event was the son of the deputy mayor of Eilat, Rafi Edri. Regarding the event, he stated: “At 2:30 a.m., a group of 50 people stood and watched a UFO, like a giant tent full of lights, light up the sky above two residential districts. The UFO passed just over our heads at a height of not more than 100–200 metres. The event lasted close to ten minutes.

Suddenly, without any advance warning, it disappeared.”16 Other residents who observed the UFO stated that at first it was semicircle-shaped; afterwards it split in two, then instantaneously disappeared. In a similar sighting in August 1996, the deputy editor of the local paper in Eilat reported an enormous red-and-purple boomerang-shaped UFO the size of “half a city” which split in two, then floated above the city of Aqaba and disappeared above Jordan.

According to published reports, in September 1996, in the village of Netanya, an estimated 5,000 people were terrified when a UFO descended between a group of nearby buildings. The event was witnessed by numerous local officials, including at least ten police patrol cars.17 On other occasions residents have reported disruption of electrical appliances, burn marks on the ground, burnt out street lamps, “crop circle” landing sites, cattle mutilations, close encounters with “giant alien entities,” and yes, even alleged alien abductions.18 One of Israel’s best known journalists, Barry Chamish, has extensively researched the recent events in the skies over Israel. Chamish, who was the chief editor of Inside Israel, an investigative news journal, stated that “Israel is recognized as an international UFO hot spot 16 ibid., p. 11.

—with an unsurpassed quantity and quality of evidence.”19 Due to the enormity of the Israeli flap, Barry Chamish and many of his journalistic colleagues have dubbed the events as “The Big Invasion.”

In fact, the frequent sightings of UFOs and alleged contact with alien entities was even discussed—with no resolution—by the Knesset on February 12, 1997.20

...the frequent sightings of UFOs and alleged contact with alien entities was even discussed... by the Knesset on February 12, 1997

According to those who have studied the events over Israel, there is a very puzzling aspect of this UFO flap. Researchers note that the sightings appear to be occurring almost exclusively over the tiny land mass of the Jewish state rather than throughout the Middle East. This peculiarity was also noted by Daniel Brynberg, a journalist for the Jerusalem Report: “Ufologists are at a loss to explain the lack of sightings in Israel’s near neighbors—it is as if the aliens, unlike most Earthlings, are aware of Israel’s borders.”21 The “rationalists” in Israel, like those in the United States, prefer to deny the existence of the phenomenon, claiming the events are a simple case of mass hysteria. Many view the events as a sign from God. Still others believe that the events in Israel portend a sinister influence—a foreboding sign that something ominous is about to happen and that Israel will be its focus. Whatever the case may be, the events in Israel closely follow those that have comprised UFO folklore in the United States.

Phoenix Rising?

On the evening of Thursday, March 13, 1997 the state of Arizona became host of one of the most recent and best documented UFO sightings in history. The sighting began at 8:16 p.m. when a retired police officer in Paulden, about 60 miles north of Phoenix, reported “a cluster of five red lights headed south.” Minutes later, calls from eyewitnesses 19 The Plain Dealer Newspaper, Cleveland, OH, March 31, 1996, section 1f.

in Prescott, Wickenburg, Glendale, Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe flooded telephone lines at nearby Luke Air Force Base and local police departments.

While some described the object as a globe or a sphere, the majority of the witnesses saw an enormous V-shaped object with six leading and one trailing light. Some of the witnesses described the object as a solid, massive triangular craft. Others said that it appeared to be somewhat transparent. Like “a gray distortion of the night sky.”22 Videotapes of the object confirmed its great size and the V-shaped leading edge composed of a bank of six bright lights.

The event, which lasted 106 minutes, apparently engendered the attention of nearby Luke Air Force Base. According to eyewitnesses, as the object neared the base three F-16 interceptors were scrambled.

However, when the jets approached the object it “shot straight up and disappeared like a blink of an eye.”23 Predictably, officials at Luke Air Force Base denied this claim, stating that no aircraft were dispatched and that they do not investigate UFOs. Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center in Seattle, Washington, received hundreds of calls on the sighting and said “the incident over Arizona was the most dramatic I’ve seen... What we have here is the real thing. They are here.”24 The object was also sighted by numerous local pilots and air traffic controllers. Bill Grava, a pilot and air traffic controller, was on duty that night at Sky Harbor International Airport. Although he witnessed the event he disclosed that the object did not show up on radar. When asked about the sighting he stated, “I still don’t know what to think, and I have no idea what it was. Something military, I guess.”25 The event was big news in the Arizona press. Local television stations aired the video tapes taken by local residents and radio talk shows were inundated by calls about the events for several weeks. However, it was not 22 USA Today, June 18, 1997 23 ibid.

until June 18, 1997, over three months after the event, that the sightings gained simultaneous national media attention when the network news programs on NBC, CNN, MSNBC and ABC covered the Arizona event with comprehensive prime-time stories. In the ensuing days the story was also aired by dozens of local television news affiliates.

Mike Fortsen, an eyewitness to the events of March 13, 1997, was interviewed on the CBS This Morning and asked to describe his sighting.

“It was 8:30 in the evening, I was going to bed, I was closing my bedroom window which faces to the west and as I closed the window my eyes immediately went to the north where I saw the three huge white bright lights...we watched this craft as it leveled off. We watched it from the north all the way to the south for approximately a minute and a half. It was a flat black triangle. It was approximately a mile in length. It was about 1,500 feet off the ground. It was totally quiet. It was a solid object, it was one vehicle and it was close to a mile in length.”

When asked what he thought the object was Fortsen stated, “I’m pretty well convinced that this was an alien visitation craft.

I’m pretty sure that it was interdimensional instead of interplanetary and I’m quite sure that our federal government and our military knows exactly what it was.”

The story was also covered by USA Today in a full page article on June 18, 1997. In the article investigative reporter Richard Price called the events “the most confounding UFO report in fifty years.” According to Price the event, which was witnessed by thousands of Arizona residents, was described in remarkably consistent terms.

“Something happened in the skies over Arizona the night of March 13. No one is sure what it was, but thousands saw it, dozens videotaped it and people all over the state are still haunted by it...

Witnesses generally agree on three things. First, it was enormous.

The most conservative estimate describes it as three football fields long. Computer analysis of the tapes puts it at 6,000 feet, or more VOLUME 27 | ISSUE 5 |

than a mile. Second it made no sound. Third, it moved slowly over Phoenix, cruising at 30 mph. Several times it hovered in place in the sky.”26 In a scene that was reminiscent of the blockbuster movie Independence Day, dozens of night-time videotapes showed the outline of a massive object floating slowly near the downtown lights of Phoenix. Yet, despite the large number of witnesses, neither the Air Force nor the state and local governments were willing to officially investigate the incident.

The origin of the enormous unidentified flying object will surely be the topic of much speculation and debate in the months and years to come.27 UFOs Over Korea On November 23, 1996, the Associated Press (AP) in Seoul, South Korea, posted a story about a daylight sighting of a diskshaped UFO that was witnessed by thousands of Koreans at 7:20 a.m., during rush-hour traffic. The story, entitled “UFO Footage Stirs Sensation in S. Korea,” described the event and noted that it was videotaped and aired by a local television network.

The television pictures showed footage of a shining object floating motionless in the early morning sky, suspended in midair for about ten minutes before it suddenly disappeared. While skeptics attributed the event to conventional air traffic, according to AP, South Korean Air Force officials stated that there were no scheduled military or civilian aircraft flying in the area at the time when the object was allegedly sighted.

According to the published reports, South Korea had been overtaken by “UFO fever” in recent months as numerous sightings—documented by local photographers—had received widespread and prominent coverage in newspapers throughout the country.

Observers in South Korea said the flying pattern of the object was identical to another unidentified flying object sighted in 1995. The same day, at 7:30 p.m. PST, CNN World Report reported the “cigar shaped 26 USA Today, June 18, 1997 27 One of the mysteries concerning the Phoenix sightings is that it wasn’t widely reported until June 18, 1997, when it was on the front page of USA Today, and on CNN, NBC, ABC, etc. The authors suspect that this was not a UFO, but a test exercise in military holography, a “non-lethal weapons” technology that went deeply classified in 1994.

UFO” over Seoul. According to CNN, a number of witnesses recorded video footage of the UFO and this footage accompanied the CNN report. The incident was also reported in the United States by Reuters, making it one of the rare UFO events reported by the mainstream media.

Project Starlight On April 9–10, 1997, an unprecedented congressional briefing occurred in Washington, D.C., to promote official and definitive disclosure regarding the reality of UFOs and extraterrestrial intelligence.

The briefing was sponsored by the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI) and represented the official start of CSETI’s “Project Starlight” initiative.

The Project Starlight initiative was begun in 1993 by Dr. Steven Greer, the director of CSETI, “to identify the best scientific evidence related to UFOs and Extraterrestrial Intelligence”28 and for the open public release of this information. According to Dr. Greer, since 1993 CSETI has identified more than 100 “bona-fide military, intelligence, government contractor and other government agency employees with direct, firsthand knowledge of the UFO/ET subject.”

Since 1993, Project Starlight team members have provided preliminary briefings of “best available evidence” for senior military leaders, senior United Nations leadership, White House staff, a sitting Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, international leaders, members of the Senate and House of Representatives, and leaders in foreign governments, among others. However, these briefings were simply a prelude to those of April, 1997. According to Dr. Greer, the congressional briefings were necessary because CSETI had learned that the UFO sub-ject was being “managed in a way which kept the majority of our constitutional leadership uninformed on the subject.”

During the April 1997 briefings, the Project Starlight team brought together nearly 20 firsthand government witnesses to UFO/ET events.

According to CSETI, most of the witnesses formerly possessed top secret security clearances and testified to events that took place while they 28 Material for this section is from the “Report on the CSETI Briefings,” available at http://www.cseti.org and also from CSETI, P.O.

possessed those clearances. These UFO witnesses were active in the Air Force, Army, Navy, NASA, private industry, and intelligence operations from the early 1950s to the 1990s.

The closed, confidential briefings took place at the Westin Hotel in Washington, D.C., at the Pentagon, and at other locations in the Washington, D.C., area. They were attended by nearly 30 congressmen or their staff representatives, VIPs from the executive branch, representatives of the Dutch embassy staff, government scientists, and representatives from the National Academy of Sciences and two state governors’ offices. Separate media briefings were attended by reporters from The Washington Post, US News and World Report, The Boston Globe, The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), WTNH-TV, United Press International, USA Today, and a producer from CBS’ “60 Minutes.”

Briefing participants were provided with extensive photographic, written, and video documentation of “definitive and unambiguous” evidence for the existence of UFOs.29 In addition, 11 of the best witnesses were selected to testify before the assembled government leaders. The testimony included a statement from “a world-renowned astronomer who was present when an apparent extraterrestrial signal was received at the Harvard observatory (SETI) facility” in the late 1980s. In a subsequent interview several weeks later, Greer said that over three dozen signals of non-Earth-based origin have been received by the META (Million-channel ExtraTerrestrial Assay) System at Harvard University.30 In our own research efforts we were indeed able to confirm Greer’s statement.

The Million-channel ExtraTerrestrial Assay (META) at the Harvard/ Smithsonian observatory is fed by a 26-meter, steerable Cassegrainian radio telescope which became operational in 1985. After five years of scanning for narrow-band radio signals (near the 1420 MHz line of neutral hydrogen), the META hardware searched more than 60 trillion channels! During that time there were 37 candidate “events” that exceeded the average detection threshold.31 These “events” were, in fact, 29 This report is available from CSETI, P.O.

electromagnetic signals of varying duration that were determined to be of non-Earth origin. However, they were published with no fanfare in the Astrophysical Journal.32 When we inquired as to why the anomalous signals were not considered extremely significant, public relations officials at SETI in Palo Alto, California, stated that they were not repeatable events; that is, when the anomalous regions were re-scanned, the signals did not repeat.33 No explanation for the signals was given other than they were “unidentified.”

At the briefing, additional witnesses discussed firsthand knowledge of UFO artifacts; well-documented photographic evidence that was altered

by NASA; as well as the testimony of a Naval employee who witnessed a major UFO encounter off the Eastern seaboard which was photographed, tracked on radar, and pursued by military aircraft in 1981.

The ultimate goal of the closed congressional briefing was to bring about open congressional hearings on the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrial life in a non-sensational, rational manner. However, if they are not forthcoming, CSETI planned to press for the disclosure of UFO/ET reality either through the United Nations or a public blue-ribbon panel of former and current military, NASA, intelligence, and government employees with direct, firsthand knowledge of the UFOs.

COSMIC WARFARE Dr. Chuck Missler Founder, Koinonia House

W

e all know the Jimmy Stewart Christmas classic It’s a Wonderful Life. Every year we get to watch George Bailey grow up in Bedford Falls, and every year we empathize with his years of frustration. One particular Christmas Eve, George’s uncle has lost $8000 of company money, and George is facing bankruptcy and jail. In a moment of hopelessness, he makes a heartfelt prayer to God for help before contemplating suicide. In answer, Clarence the angel is sent to help George. Clarence is a funny little old man - a one-time clockmaker. When George wishes that he’d never been born, Clarence grants him his wish, and George is given a different perspective on his own role in the bigger scheme of things.

He discovers that the life he’d found so disappointing has actually changed the whole town for good. Because George Bailey lived, countless other lives were saved. It’s a wonderful tale of hope BIO for each of us.

Of course, angels do not look like Clarence in real life. The movie has several incorrect ideas about angels, including the famous little saying, “Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings.”

Angels are not humans who have died, whether sweet old clockmakers who read Tom Sawyer, or otherwise.

We are victims of what I call modern mythology.

I considered Angels in the Outfield a colorful movie and enjoyable entertainment, but it obviously gives audiences an entirely incorrect portrayal about what angels really are. Movies are a particularly guilty vehicle for promoting

these myths. No one takes the angels in these movies seriously, but that’s just the point. There’s nothing silly about angels in real life.

We need to have a sober sense of the truth about these beings.

What are angels really like? Who are they? What does the Bible say about them?

Angels are popular. They are found in paintings and sculptures and jewelry. Fat baby cherubs from the Renaissance still decorate our Valentine’s Day cards. When cartoon characters die, they float up out of their bodies in white gowns, complete with little wings and harps.

People love angels. At least, they love the views they have of angels as cute babies or as warm, protective beings. Unfortunately, misconceptions about angels abound. As Christians, we know that the Word of God must prevail as our standard of truth, and we will spend time clearing up incorrect ideas. In this two-book series, we’ll explore the characteristics and limitations of angels and look at the lineup of major players we encounter biblically. Finally, we will focus on the warfare, the battles that are constantly being fought in the spiritual realm.

I want to start here with a key passage, one that should underscore any study we do. It’s our reminder to study with an honest mind - a mind dedicated to all that is true: And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Acts 17:10-11

What’s the most challenging part of Acts 17:11? For many years, I felt that the call was to search the Scriptures daily. Indeed we should do so, but this verse also reminds us that the preface to any study is to readily set aside our preconceptions, embracing the willingness to find the truth, whatever it is. We need to have that readiness of mind to honestly and thoroughly find the true meaning and intention of every passage of God’s Word.

The Mythologies of our Time Metaphors reign where mysteries reside. When we don’t really understand something, we hide behind idioms and comfortable pictures to mask our ignorance. We’ll discover it makes an enormous difference what we believe about angels. Our spiritual hygiene is impacted by our understanding of the role and capabilities and limitations of these spiritual beings. Remember, there are righteous angels available to help us, and there are evil ministers of Satan ready to deceive us. We need to be sensitive to the hazards and vulnerabilities involved in this topic, for our own sake and for the sake of our children. This is a serious topic, but it’s one that few people even think to take seriously.

Christmas cards and Renaissance art always seem to portray angels as chubby babies with wings. They are called “cherubs” and even the word “cherubic” has come to mean something cute and sweet and innocent.

In reality, cherubs are nothing to joke about. The Bible describes cherubs as mighty warrior angels who uphold the throne of God. Genesis 3:24 says these were the angels sent to stand guard at the Garden of Eden and prevent humankind from accessing the Tree of Life.

A wide variety of people have tailored their religions to include angels, and there is nothing wrong with that. Angels do exist, and they have been sent for our benefit. The problem arrives when people decide to embrace the reality of guardian angels, but they reject the very God who has given them to us. Angels are popular among occult groups and those involved in the New Age movement. Even Christians can be guilty of focusing on angels in an unhealthy and even dangerous manner.

Angels are also often mischaracterized as women, yet all of God’s angels in the Bible are portrayed as males. Angels do not play harps while floating around on clouds. People do not become angels when they die. They do not earn their wings by performing Angels are also often tasks, honored by the ringing of bells. mischaracterized as Even seemingly innocent sayings do women, yet all of God’s harm.

They (Angels) were What are angels? Angels are ministers. never meant to be the They are glorious and beautiful objects of our worship. beings, but they have been provided to serve and protect us. They were never meant to be the objects of our worship. The writer of Hebrews begins his epistle driving home the differences between Jesus Christ and the angels, reminding us all that angels are ultimately servants, while Jesus is God in the flesh: And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Hebrews 1:6-8

There have been some fun, insightful fictional books written about the work of angels in the spiritual world behind human lives. These portray the angels with swords and shields and medieval weaponry as part of their toolkit, which is good for our imaginations but not necessarily biblically accurate. That’s something we need to explore as well.

One of the best ways to recognize a lie is to already have a good understanding of the truth. In His inspired Word, we find that God has already given us the tools to answer every deception.
