I was thinking the other day that many of those people who want UFO disclosure by the government believe that life here on earth originated somewhere else in the cosmos. They are not only looking for human origins and see these aliens as saviors of our planet and species, but they also thus deny the current scientific paradigm of Darwinian evolution.

Several years ago, so called "independent, nontraditional, religious scholar", Patrick Cooke, did a series of articles on The Bible and the Paranormal, which I critiqued in my article Patrick Cooke’s The Bible and the Paranormal: What He failed to Tell You. Patrick is a earnest researcher but I believed that he misled the readers by designating all paranormal activities in the Bible as inherently positive and without any negative consequences.

Rather than accept the biblical explanation, the author and others search for more "rational" explanations. It seems to me that it takes more blind faith to believe in UFOs which have never been proven to exist than it does to believe in the Bible which has never been proved to have been false in any historical or prophetic instance. 

While most of my articles do discuss UFOs, they rightly say that my articles overwhelming tend to end up discussing the Bible. That is a fair assessment because I sincerely believe that extraterrestrials are not aliens from another planet or galaxy, but are instead fallen angels here to undertake a diabolical plan that is more sinister than any alien invasion.

Our study this time takes us to Revelation chapter 22. This is of course the final chapter of this great book. In this chapter John continues his description of the New Jerusalem and of the period of time we have been referring to as the Perfect Age. 

There has been much talk of late about the doomsday predictions of December 21, 2012 as reflected in the Mayan long calendar. While most of the Mayan codices were burned by Spanish monks in 1521 AD as works of the devil (which as you shall see they probably were) a few survived including the Dresden Codex.

From this new image, I believe we get a picture of what might have happened. When Christ arrived at Tartarus and proclaimed to them that He had conquered death, hell and the grave, they fell down and cried out, ‘you are the son of God’ “ (Mark 3:14).

The final two chapters of Revelation, chapters 21 & 22, reveal to us a time that none of us have ever known at this point. I think of the many wonders of the world as it presently exists, all of the breath-taking beauty existing in many places of the world; and yet you and I live in a world still tainted by the affects of original sin. Because of this fact, despite all of the grandeur, the ugliness and scars of the curse are also present. 

Israel National News reported on July 21, 2007 that a group of Kabbalists (Jewish mystic Rabbis) in Israel had made the startling statement that a major war would take place in Israel very soon. They apparently received their information from a variety of mystical sources including "communicating with autistic children." They also said that Iran would be involved but that great miracles of Hashem (God) would take place which would be recognizable to all even non Kabbalists.

In one of the most imponderable statements of scripture we read that after the 1,000 years are fulfilled, he must be loosed a little season. Why, given all of the murder, mayhem, sickness, pain, and misery caused for some 6,000 years of human history by this dragon, this serpent, the devil, and Satan; would you want to let him go once you had him bound and locked away?

I lectured at the University of Arizona for years on anti Semitism and the role of the Church in the Crusades, Inquisition and the Holocaust. I too sought solace in the apparently peaceful Eastern Religions like Taoism, Buddhism and in the I-Ching. I mediated and contemplated my navel and flew in my times of lucid dreaming. It all came to a crashing halt, however, one evening when a grad student of mine killed himself because of his own character flaws.

We return this time to Revelation chapter 19. We looked at the first ten verses last time and discovered five reasons for Heaven's song of rejoicing. Satan and his man the Antichrist have had their day and their time of judgment will have arrived. This will cause great rejoicing in Heaven as the great plan of God for the ages comes to fruition when the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ and He reigns on the Earth. Despite Satan's, and in some cases man's best efforts, the great plan of God for man and the Earth will be realized.

 There are seven major events of end-time prophecy, all of which are covered in the book of Revelation. In chapter 1 we see the resurrected, glorified Christ standing in the midst of the seven churches, typified by seven golden candlesticks. In his right are seven stars, which typify the angels or Pastors of the seven churches. Chapters 2 and 3 deal with the seven churches. While there were more than seven churches in the Roman province of Asia Minor in John's day; the seven that were selected by the Holy Spirit, while certainly actual congregations with very real issues and needs, represent seven distinct periods of Church history; commencing with Ephesus the Apostolic Church, and concluding with Laodicea the Lukewarm, self-absorbed Church. This church represents the final church that will be on the earth just prior to the return of Jesus in the clouds to catch away His people.

By the time we get to Revelation 18, great progress has been made. The world would have by this time progressed through the series of sevens; seven seals, seven trumpets and seven bowls. It would have witnessed the judgment of the “Great Whore”, the apostate world “super church”, and is now advancing to the end of the Great Tribulation, in fact the events of this chapter present the end of the Great Tribulation, just prior to the Glorious Appearing of Christ at His Second Coming, or Second Advent.
