LYING SIGNS AND WONDERS
Increased UFO
Manifestations During Christian Events
And Prophetic Events Concerning Israel
By David Ben Yakov
Here at the Delusion Resistance we are dedicated to finding delusions and deceptions, and when they are found, we are obligated to expose them and to offer the reader Biblical insight to these deceptions. In the case of every deed of darkness, when light is shed upon them, they shrivel up and die. We have to remember though, that when a delusion or deception dies, its maker usually tries to present it with a different packaging; a new facade so as to fool those have gotten victory over its past incarnation. We also keep an eye out for any "reintroduction" of past delusions.
The UFO phenomena is a reintroduction of something that was introduced into the world on numerous occasions. Each time this lie is introduced it is packaged in such a way so as to be accepted by the society that is contemporary of its time. In modern occult folklore, this is called "shape-shifting." Cultures who adhere to belief in shape-shifting believe that animals can become people and vise verse. Some believe that people can shape-shift to become other people and such. Satan takes things up to a grander scale; he shape-shifts events and belief systems. Whether it be the Medieval times with it's fairies, ogres and trolls; some Pacific Island tribe that believed that it could hear from animals or trees, or our contemporary time when people commune with occupants of UFO's, the stories all have similarities, and that is because they have the same author.
In our modern society it seems that there are two areas of deception that are competing for the same prize. One could say that the psychic, or channeler is the main focus of this deception. They try to predict the future using various means, but they never seem to get the clear picture. The second evil contenders for the souls of men are those who claim to come from other places in our universe; those who purport themselves to be "extraterrestrial" in nature. But when one does a short study of the two, that person finds out that the two contenders are really not contenders, but they are running a relay race, racing around the track in a nonstop loop, handing over the baton time and time again in an effort to deceive those who are watching the race. The channelers now claim to be getting messages from the "aliens" and the aliens who deal directly with abductees or contactees are pronouncing the same message that the practitioners of the occult have told for years. The tactics have much akin to the political realm here in the United States. The media makes a big deal about there being two different political parties and they claim that we have a choice in who gets into office. But what they do not tell you is that the two parties are both reaching for the same goal, albeit through different channels, but the same goal. And as each election time rolls around it becomes quite evident to those who scrutinize the two political entities, that they become more and more like each other. So it is with the grand delusion. It's like watching two different new channels on television; each is a different vehicle, but the picture and the news item is the same. Anyway, I digress.
Evil's Two Purposes:
Those who have read through the Bible can't help but see that the evil one has but two purposes in creation. The first goal of course is the pollution of mankind by way of perpetuation of sin so that the souls of many of Yahweh's creation (mankind) do not enter into Yahweh's rest, but are consigned to eternal separation from Yahweh. Scripture is quite clear that Yahweh loves His creation and desires all to be saved:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 3:16-17
We have the words of Yeshua Himself concerning Satan:
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44
The second goal that he has set is to corrupt everything that Yahweh creates for good. This is seen time and time again. We see it with the deception of Chava in the Garden and we again see it with the murder of Abel. I have no doubt that Yahweh meant for the Messianic line to come through Abel and when Satan had Cain slay Abel one day it must have seemed to Satan that he had triumphed. But Chava bore another son (Seth) who was a progenitor of Messiah Yeshua. We see it again with the Angel's coming down and mingling with human seed in order to create the Nephilim, which was another attempt to pollute the human gene pool and prevent Messiah's future advent. We see Yahweh's response by letting things continue until He had raised up Noah to build an Ark that saved eight individuals to start humanity all over again. After the flood it was tried again, so much so that Israel had to eradicate whole towns when they were brought back to the land after their bondage in Egypt. Each and every time Yahweh fixed things or made things anew, Satan got into the mix and tried to corrupt again. Thankfully, Yahweh always comes out the winner at the end or each ordeal and at the end of all things too.
We see time and time again how Satan would try to kill off the Jewish people and how Yahweh would intervene by saving one special child, or a remnant of people that He hid away somewhere. Yahweh always works with remnants, preserving a few faithful who will fulfill His purposes. Satan always tries to wipe out quantity, but Yahweh always preserves quality.
Satan - The Counterfeiter:
We saw above how Yeshua Himself said that Satan is the father of lies and of liars. Of course we know that lies come in many packages, all of them bad, some being diabolical. Since the focus of this article is to prove Satan's deception through signs and wonders, let's open up the door that is marked "counterfeit." Behind this door we see things that are made to look like the genuine article, but are just frauds and deception. These things are called counterfeits. Just about anything can be counterfeited, including, but not limited to artwork, documents, photographic images and such. Even the future man of perdition, known in Christian circles as the antichrist will most likely be a counterfeit of Mashiach Yeshua.
Since we live in a society that tends to worship Mammon (money) we can best relate to counterfeiting as being the production of either paper money or coin in order to trick merchants and consumers into believing that the bogus money that they are being handed is in fact real. Governments spend billions each year in the attempt to thwart counterfeiting schemes. If counterfeiting were allowed to run amok it would eventually debase the currency that it is counterfeiting.
The word "trick" is quite interesting. We tend to think of it as harmless; a childish thing, or a prank that we pull on someone to get a laugh or to bring fun at a party. Granted, that is a definition of that word, but it is only one meaning; the rest being of a more insidious nature. Let's look at the word "trick":
Main Entry: 1trick
Pronunciation: 'trik
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English trikke, from Anglo-French *trik, from trikier to deceive, cheat, from Vulgar Latin *triccare, alteration of Latin tricari to behave evasively (untruthfully), shuffle, from tricae complications, trifles
1 a : a crafty procedure or practice meant to deceive or defraud b : a mischievous (wicked or hurtful) act : PRANK c : an indiscreet or childish action d : a deceptive, dexterous (skillful / clever), or ingenious feat; especially : one designed to puzzle or amuse.
Sure makes one think twice about pulling any sort of trick on anyone ever again, huh? The words above, in italics are definitions of the words that aren't commonly used. I've always been intrigued by the word "amuse." It is an antonym of the word "muse," which means to think. In essence, "amuse" means absence of thought. It means something that keeps a person entertained so that they don't have to use their brain for deductive reasoning. That is a very dangerous place to be in. So, the whole premise of a counterfeit is to behave in a untruthful, wicked or hurtful manner, in order to deceive or defraud people through some deceptive or ingenious feat which works best when the counterfeiter can keep the victim puzzled or can get their mind on other things that aren't pertinent to the subject at hand.
The Apostle Paul wrote about something similar in the following scriptures:
And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:6-12
At first the scripture above sort of bothered me. It says that Yahweh is going to send a counterfeit upon those who are perishing. I however remembered something that someone once told me about counterfeit money and bank clerks. When a person starts to work in a bank they are put through a regimen where they handle real money all of the time. During this course they sort of become intimate with the real article. Now, because they know what real money feels like and all of its unique characteristics, they are able to spot a phony bill very easily.
But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 2 Thessalonians 2:13
You see, those who are perishing will do so because they have never become intimate with Yahweh. They have never taken time to accept Yahweh's gift of salvation, nor have they taken time to fellowship with Yahweh nor have they read his Word in order to even get a clue. But those of us who believe Yahweh have an intimacy with Him through fellowship and communion in the Ruach Ha Kodesh. We have handled the genuine article and know what is real and what is counterfeit. It's like Yahweh is going to send the delusion on the perishing only to prove to the believers that the perishing are indeed perishing and that the perishing have no hope because they've rejected the only hope that there is. Notice that he claims that they are perishing BEFORE he sends the delusion.
There might be some who think that Yahweh is some sort of heavy for sadist a delusion upon people. Well, let's look at something. Since you've probably come upon this text by electronic means, you are probably familiar with the internet and e-mail. I don't think that there's one person reading this who can say that they have never received spam e-mail. When you get e-mail from an address that you know and trust you open it up without hesitation because you know that it is safe. Sometimes however you receive an e-mail that makes an outlandish claim; like you can win some money if you click on it's attachment, or that they have the cure for something that ails you. Well, you know that nothing in this world is free, so you delete the mail, or if you open it, you don't fall for the lie. You can judge good from bad, right from wrong, simply because you know the difference. Now, let's look at someone who rejects right and wrong. Let's say that they spend all of their free time surfing the net for porn. They are obsessed with unrighteousness and look for ways to profane Yahweh and His ways. If they see anything that shows flesh they click on the link; you know, given over to sin.
But before we go any farther with this story, we have to look at this person's origins. They grew up in a wonderful home with loving parents. The parents took this person to religious services every Sunday and on Wednesday's too. The cards of righteousness were stacked in his favor, but he one day had a brush with evil and decided that evil was more fun; much less restrictive than any religious life that he had ever experienced. So this person decides to live after the sensual nature and exalts the lust of the flesh and the eyes and the pride of life. Now, one day he's on the computer and he gets an e-mail that tell him that someone is really interested in him. He is told to meet this person at a certain place and that his sensual nature would be rewarded for his obedience. So he meets this woman at the appointed place and they spend the night together. Later the next day she introduces him to New Age philosophy, things that tell him that there is no hell, no consequence for what his parents told him was sin; and that he could become god himself if he tried hard enough. He was perishing before he ever met this woman online; on the road to hell for sure. His sensual lusts allowed a great delusion to be perpetuated upon him and he gladly accepted it. His journey on the highway to destruction allowed him to exit onto a freeway of delusion that has many lanes for traffic and no speed limit. The woman who deceived him was merely an off ramp that led to worse things. It really wasn't the woman's fault, so to speak; she was just a vehicle, a messenger. The man could have gone a different route; he could have ignored the invitation; but his debased state just led him in deeper. Like an illicit drug user, he just wanted to attain higher highs, ignoring all of the consequences. So, when Yahweh sends the great delusion upon mankind, they will have a choice to believe the lie or to turn to the truth. Sadly, most will choose sin over repentance. Yahweh isn't doing evil by sending a great delusion. The delusion will merely be a choice, and those who choose to believe that the delusion is true will seal their fate. The elect though, those who know Yahweh intimately and who choose to love and follow him, although tempted, will choose Yahweh over the lie.
Spiritual Counterfeits in The Great Delusion:
The Great Delusion has many facets to it. Just like a diamond has many faces to it, yet it is still one diamond, so will be the Delusion. We can't take time to focus on all of the delusions because they are many, so we will focus on the counterfeits of the UFO realm.
Delusions don't just happen over night. They are a process; a work that has to be introduced to its victims in an ever so skillful manner. A common deception that can be used to illustrate how the public can be duped is the denial that the Holocaust ever happened. For a generation after the gruesome discoveries of the Nazi death camps were discovered it was hard to come against the facts of the Holocaust. There were many Allied soldiers who were witnesses to the camps; having the images emblazoned upon their minds; the images of genocide forever on their psyche. Images that recorded the event with their eyes, the smell of death forever in their noses, the taste of rotting flesh, forced upon their tongues by merely being around it; the cries of the survivors which they heard with their ears. No, they would not stand for any lies concerning this horror. Neither would those who saw the newsreels of the horror; the short news items seen between movies at the theaters; no, they would not stand for the lie that says that it never happened.
But all the while there were still those who refused to believe what they saw on the screen. Either through denial, or a rabid hatred for Jews, they would not believe the horrors of Nazi Europe. And as these individuals had children, and then grandchildren, they instilled their perpetual hatred in the fertile ground of the hearts of their offspring. Then when the witnesses to the atrocities, and the victims of the same began to dwindle in numbers it allowed the hatred to fester. They say that it was all a fabricated lie; that the Zionists created the images only to fool the public and such. The truth is made to be a lie so that a lie can be seen as the truth. It has the markings of Satan all over it; reminding us of the first lie that he told to Chava; "thou shalt not surely die, because God knows that when you eat of the fruit, you will be like God, knowing good from evil."
In other articles at the Delusion Resistance website we talk about the messages that are coming from the beings that tout themselves as being extraterrestrial. The purport to be coming to Earth to help mankind; to enable humans to make a spiritual evolutionary advance. They come with all sorts of New Age philosophies; all that are diametrically opposed to Biblical Scripture and Yahweh, who is scripture's inspiration. We've talked about how these philosophies are counterfeit; taking bits and pieces from true scripture and building an old lie religion on falsehood. We've also talked about these beings, who they really are and where they really come from. We've talked about how they've been deceiving mankind for millennia and what their true purpose is. Now we will look at another delusion, another way that they try to pervert the truth, and how they try to divert the eyes of mankind from what Yahweh has wrought.
Satan's Attempt at OneUpmanship:
We live in a very material world. We also live in a world that lacks any sort of faith. I define faith as it is cited in Hebrews, chapter 11, and as it is evidenced in the life of every true believer in Yahweh. We live in a world that demands proof of everything, thus negating anything that resembles faith. A heart that constantly demands proof of things is one that is fertile ground for Satan and his wiles.
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 2 Peter 3:3-4
In other words, these scoffers are saying; "we don't believe that Yeshua ever existed, and we don't believe that He is coming back. We see the trees, the mountains, the rivers and valleys; the oceans and the sky. We can touch these and it is evidence to us that they exist. But Yeshua is a fable that you have in order to make you feel better, he's a crutch. Since we can't touch Yahweh, he can't exist and so we won't believe in him." You see; no faith. And how many people do you know who have said something similar? I've seen and heard many who have said such things.
Since our society is so shallow and perverse, and most demand to have tangible things to worship, they are easy to set up with lies. You see, since people are so indoctrinated to believe that only what they hold is real, then producing a new thing that they can touch will satisfy their need for fresh and innovative ideas. People also tend to get bored with things quite quickly. Those who manufacture products bank on that part of human nature. Automobile makers make money every year with new products or vastly improved old products. Computer and software makers bank on this part of human nature and that is why there is always a new and improved CPU chip, or a bigger monitor and the new sound card is all the rage. Software is constantly appended to add new bells and whistles to entice you into getting the yearly upgrade of their product. Divorce lawyers bank on the fact that husbands and wives get tired of their spouse and want to trade in for a new model. The list goes on and on.
Even societal trends need to be replaced from time to time, it would seem. When you've used up your trend after a while, just trade it in for another. Sadly, this is true with religious beliefs. Don't get me wrong, sometimes a refreshing is needed, these times are called revivals. We have to remember that a revival is a renewal, not a replacement. However, in our plastic, throw away society, faith suffers causalities too. Thank Yeshua that our faith, the true Christian faith, is not a religion, but a relationship.
But as we mentioned above, those without faith, or those with a shallow faith (religion) tend to want proof of things. As we move closer and closer to the 7 years of tribulation, we have seen many strange things come to light and those things have been accepted. They will not be mentioned here because we all know what they are and we all lament that people are so desperate to accept something new and refreshing, that they will grab hold of the most inane or hideous things. The Bible talks about "signs and wonders" being shown during the time of Jacob's Trouble. Some of these things will be sent by Yahweh in order to show wicked people that they have chosen unwisely and to punish them for their choice. Yeshua however said that false Christs and prophets would also show some amazing things:
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Matthew 24:24
It is my contention, and the contention of many others, that the UFO phenomena, along with all of the bells and whistles (abductions, entity manifestations and others) are part of the "signs and wonders" that the enemy is showing those who will swallow the lie. The last part of that scripture says that the delusions will be so strong that even the elect (Christians strong in their relationship with Yahweh) will be tempted to believe them. I have polled believers in a variety of churches and asked them their opinion about two subjects; evolution, and life on other planets. Invariably, about half of those responding will tell me that they believe that Yahweh used evolution to create the earth because evolution speaks that to them. That same half will usually tell me that they believe that there is life on other planets, simply because the universe is too vast, and there are too many worlds for there not to be life. Seems that seeds of the delusion are alive and well, even in the Body of Messiah.
Yeshua then goes farther and says that anything that the delusionists say is not to be heeded:
Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. Matthew 24:25-26
Where the delusions are concerned, one could paraphrase the words of Yeshua in a following manner:
Behold, if they tell you that they are here to aid mankind, do not believe it. If they say that they come here from distant planets, do not fall for it. No matter what they say, know that they are evil and resist them.
But now you are saying, hey Dave, you mentioned Satan's oneupmanship tactics, what about that? Well, let's take a little gander at what I'm talking about. The table below was published in the MUFON Journal, February of 2007. One day while in prayer, I heard Yahweh tell me that there was a correlation between UFO sightings or better yet, UFO Flaps, and two other phenomena. Through the work of Joe Jordan, of CE-4 Research Group I had become aware that there was some sort of correlation between increased UFO activity in certain areas, and Christian Revivals in those same areas. But Yahweh told me also to look at the dates as they correlate to prophetic events, or events that profoundly effected Israel. So, when I got the table below from the MUFON Journal, it was like getting a gift from Yahweh; the timing was too perfect to be a coincidence, if you know what I mean. What I felt impressed to look for in the table was any dramatic spikes in the sighting numbers during a year as opposed to the year that preceded it. What was revealed was shocking, but in a blessed sort of way. The years highlighted in yellow are spike years. These years saw higher numbers than the year preceding, and as a matter of fact, in the majority of these years these spikes were at least twice the amount (sometimes, many times more) then the preceding year. So, I did a little bit of studying and found what I will present below.
First, take a look at the table below:
|
UFO REPORTS - BY THE YEAR |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
It is my firm belief that the UFO phenomena doesn't appear randomly. I believe that each sighting, each abduction or abduction attempt and each message given to those who channel the occupants of UFO's are all calculated events. They are all performed in order to advance Satan's agenda and to discredit Yahweh, or attempt to do so. The 1947 sighting by Kenneth Arnold in Washington State only happened because Mr. Arnold was flying there and the producers of the event knew that he would tell someone about it. I also think that the realm of evil also arranged for the news media of the day to run with the story. I think that the crash(s) outside of Roswell was a public relations campaign for the enemy of Yahweh. It wasn't an accident, but a brilliantly performed stunt to bring the "lie" into the arena and to start a cult following that exploded onto the scene and has grown each year. People wanted proof of the existence of extraterrestrials and Satan delivered in a big way; the craft, the bodies and the whole shebang. The Betty and Barney Hill event was calculated; the enemy knowing that the Hills were ripe for the picking. Take a biracial couple, humiliate them by performing all sorts of lewd experiments on them and then let them go so that they can tell about their story. Their dilemma happened in the 1960's right when the subject of race relations was reaching its zenith; the press couldn't help but to snatch it up. In an attempt to draw believers of Yeshua into the mix, they performed the Andreasson Affair. Betty Andreasson (presented as a devout believer in Messiah Yeshua) was approached by entities and after some convincing she agreed to go with them; where upon she met the so called "being of light," and she fell for the lie. They wanted to take her and she didn't fight, but agreed to go. The events that have been mentioned are just a drop in a much larger bucket of calculated lies that have been perpetrated on humanity by insidious forces bent on malevolence toward mankind.
Knowing that these things happen on purpose, we have to then start wondering about the grand scheme of things. We have to ask ourselves a serious question, that being, what else do these entities do to grandstand for their cause and to attempt to draw people away from Yahweh. With that in mind I prayed for Yahweh to show me how to research. I knew, from Joe's mention of things, that these entities like to show up at or around the time that great moves of Yahweh are occurring. We will show that fact just below. But what else could they be up to. We know that Satan works overtime as he tries to destroy Yeshua's Church. History is rife with persecutions of those faithful to Yahweh. But if we think for a moment, there is one other group of people whom have suffered at the hands of the kingdom of evil; those being the Jews. Because the Jewish people have been persecuted since antiquity it would be hard to research and find out all of the dates of their dilemma and then correlate them with the dates of UFO reports. We can however look at recent history, for perhaps the last 110 years and see if there is some sort of event that coincides with increased UFO reports. The only thing that I could think of, aside from persecution of the Jews, would be prophecies that would pertain to the Last Days formation of the Jewish nation. When I researched such things I was blessed to see that there is indeed proof that UFO's tend to manifest at or around the time that Yahweh is fulfilling prophecy, or even during certain events that lead up to the fulfillment of prophecy. We shall now examine these fields of study.
The Numbers Tell The Story:
Assuming that you've taken a look at the table of sightings per year, I can be pretty well assured that you noticed that there have been spikes in the number of UFO sightings that have been reported. The number of sightings for each year were probably higher than the reported number. The unreported cases probably remained that way because of the stigma attached to reporting such things in years past. In the earlier years, reporting such phenomena would probably get someone burned at the stake for practicing witchcraft and in our more recent era, up until the 1960's, reporting such phenomena would have probably resulted in the witness being given accommodations at the local psychiatric hospital. But, beginning in the 1960's things started to change. So many reports were coming in, and a lot of those reports came from credible witnesses (military personnel, doctors, pilots, etc.), so much so that it gave the run of the mill citizen the courage and wherewithal to speak up and report a sighting.
I had considered putting the two categories of sightings into two sections, but I think that they should be melded. After all, it is the same phenomena, put on by the same author, so they should be melded. Now, let's look at the sightings, the years, and what was happening in Christiandom and the formation of Israel.
1897: 13 Reports - previous year had only 3 three reports.
Theodor (Binyamin Ze'ev) Herzl convenes the "First Zionist Union" Convention, in Switzerland; bringing together like minded Jews and Gentiles in a think-tank for the express purpose of planning for a "Jewish Homeland." Later, such Zionists as Lords Balfour and Rothschild would play integral parts in the British legislation for a Mandate for a Jewish State in The Promised Land.
On the Christian front, the Pentecostal Movement (revival) is in full swing, having gained momentum in the latter years of the 1890's. A new denomination springs out of this movement, known as the Church of God in Christ. Holiness movements grow in number with evidence of "The Gifts of The Spirit."
1908: 9 Reports - previous year had one report.
Revival sweeps around the world. Revivals in America, also in Germany, Italy and Bulgaria. The Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist churches all experience revival. Height of the Azuza Street Revival that swept throughout the world and introduced Pentecostalism.
1916: 6 Reports - Only one report a year during the previous two reporting years.
Chaim Weizmann, a Jewish chemist develops a way to synthesize acetone, allowing the British to produce smokeless gunpowder more cost effectively and by using supplies on hand in England during that time. He's credited with helping Britain win World War One. As a result, he convinced Lord Balfour to submit legislation in 1917, called The Balfour Declaration, which was the British declaration stating that the Jewish people deserved to have a homeland in The Holy Land.
In America, many revivals swept the land in response to a move of the Ruach Ha Kodesh and might have been also in response to a national anxiety, brought on by America's inevitable entry into World War One. In western Asia at this time the Assyrian Genocide was in full gear, resulting in the mass murder of upwards of 750,000 of the Christian Assyrian Peoples by the Muslim Ottomans. In the period of 1915-1916 the Armenian Genocide occurred whereby 1.5 million Christian Armenians were slaughtered by the Muslim Ottomans. The Greek Genocide was in its third year. When it ended, in 1923 the total death toll had been 1.4 million people who died at the hands of the Ottoman Muslims. The forces of evil were very busy during this period, as evidenced by all of the genocide, and the UFO manifestation.
1920: 8 Reports - only one report for the prior reporting year.
Many revivals in Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian churches. On the other side of the coin, this was a year that saw the beginning of moral decay that is commonly called "the roaring twenties."
1930: 3 Reports - a spike greater then 7 prior years.
Revivals start all over the world. People turn back to God in time of turmoil; the start of The Great Depression.
1942: 9 Reports - only two reports the year prior.
All over Europe the Nazi's start to transfer the Jewish people from interment camps to the death camps where they will be slaughtered in what is called the Holocaust. Incidentally, this is the year that Allied and Axis pilots and air crews started to talk about something called "foo fighters."
1944: 9 Reports - Three times the amount of the prior year.
Late in the year the Nazi's stop sending Jewish people to the death camps and the gassing of the Jewish people ends as well.
1945: 17 Reports - almost double the amount of reports than the prior year.
The world learns about the Holocaust, the news turning the world's sentiments toward the Jewish people and turning the tide toward a homeland for the first time in 2000 years for the Nation of Israel.
1947: 178 Reports - an over ten fold increase from the last peak.
In Flushing Meadows, New York, the United Nations votes for the implement of Resolution 181, the partition of Palestine into two states; one Jewish and the other Arab. This is the conception of the nation of Israel; the birth would come in May of the next year.
In 1947 a Bedouin shepherd boy was tending his flock near the dead sea. Out of boredom he threw some rocks. He threw a rock into a cave and heard a crashing sound. He investigated and found several earthen pots that held ancient documents. These documents came to be known as the "Dead Sea Scrolls," and they have served as an undisputable proof that the Bible that we have today is an unadulterated version of original scripture. Another thing to consider is that the Dead Sea Scrolls contain the "Book of Enoch," a book that shows the true identity of fallen angels, demons and how their actions closely resemble the conventional acts of so called "extraterrestrials."
1948: 23 Reports - Note that this entry is added not because of a spike in number, but because of its timing.
Wade Jones of www.godstruthinufos.com states the following. In February of 1948 there was a sighting of a UFO on a local farm, near Circleville, Ohio. It made quite a sensation, and UFO activity has been pretty constant since this date. Interestingly enough, that very same month, the new Bible College opened and accepted students for instruction. Some might say coincidence, but I say calculated.
The nation of Israel is born, fulfilling prophecy.
1952: 249 Reports - The largest spike in sightings up to this date (1952).
The year 1952 was the final year of one of the biggest Aliyah's (Jewish immigration to Israel) that there has ever been. Jewish people from all over Europe and all of the Arab lands left their homes and relocated in Israel. This was a fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
In 1952 the Al-Fatah terror organization (which would later become the PLO) started a period of terror that was really an undeclared war. They would enter Israel, attack and then run back into Jordan in supposed safety. The Israeli's formed a crack paratroop group whose sole mission was to parachute into Jordan at night, destroy the terrorist camps and then come home. Since UFO phenomena has increased during the time of other wars launched against Israel, then this undeclared war must be included in our figures.
1965: 130 Reports - Numbers climb into the triple digits and stay there.
One of the greatest revivals starts, dubbed "the Jesus Movement," its adherents known as Jesus People. It would last for 15 years and impact every nation on earth.
Vatican II ended in 1965. One of its main tenants was the focus on ecumenism, its focus not just on bringing Protestants into the fold, but also the recognition and acceptance of all other religions, except for "Born Again" Christianity. The fires of the assault against the Born Again Church start burning hot.
President Lyndon Johnson is reelected and promises to aggressively press forward with the "Great Society," which is nothing more than social and economic slavery in servitude to the government. American government adopts socialism and selfish-determination as its foundation, replacing pursuit of Godliness and trust in Yahweh. The beginning of the end of America.
1967: 251 Reports - a 25% increase over the prior year's reported sightings.
Israel is attacked by all of his surrounding neighbors. After six days, the Jewish people had secured most of what is present day Israel, along with the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights. For the first time in two thousand years, Jerusalem was in Jewish hands.
1973: 751 Reports - More than a three fold increase compared to the previous year.
On Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) Israel's neighbors conducted a sneak attack on Israel. Although caught off guard, Israel did finally manage to route their enemies and again they had to be called off by the international community as they were preparing to totally destroy their enemy.
On the political scene here in the United States, the Supreme Court decided in favor of Roe, in the Roe vs. Wade court battle. The decision in effect legalized the abortion of unborn children. This was the beginning of government sanctioned and sponsored infanticide.
1975: 515 Reports - Another booming year for UFO sighting reports.
The United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379, was adopted on November 10, 1975. This resolution stated that Zionism was in effect racism and racial discrimination. So in effect, the world was saying that the call of Yahweh (as illustrated in prophetic scripture) for the Jewish people to return to Eretz Yisrael was a crime on humanity. In 1991 the UN would realize its error and reversed its previous resolution with a new one; resolution 4686.
2002: 830 Reports - a 350% increase over the previous year.
Representatives from the European Union, the United Nations, The United States and Russia formed a group known as the "The Quartet," which began to shape international policy toward resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Quartet issued a statement regarding a road map for peace on September 17, 2002. President Bush's administration's draft plan to resolve the Israel - Palestinian conflict, including reform of the Palestinian Authority, statehood for Palestine and a negotiated settlement. The plan is based on the road map of the Quartet, issued September 17 of the same year.
What the paragraph above is saying is that the nations involved are trying to force Israel to give away land that Yahweh has promised to the descendents of Israel. This is done in the guise of "land for peace," which we know will never happen. It's just another ploy in a plan for the destruction of Israel. When Israel wakes up and sees what is happening, and they decide to resist this plan they will be seen as noncompliant, a rogue nation that needs to be dealt with in a harsh manner; start Ezekiel 38 and 39.
There are other instances that we should look at to further our contention. Take for instance the revival that has been going on in Mexico. People are coming to Messiah Yeshua in the thousands. This revival started in the 1990's. At the same time there was a large flap of UFO sightings in that country. During the past ten or so years there has been an increased number of sightings in Brazil. Not surprisingly, according to Joe Jordan's sister who along with her husband are missionaries in Brazil, there has been a tremendous move of Yahweh during this time in that country. As a matter of fact, just about all of Latin America has been experiencing an increase in souls turning to Messiah Yeshua, while at the same time experiencing an explosion of UFO activity.
Another thing that I find interesting in the timing of the sightings of UFO's during prophetic times or times of revival is that the numbers also indicate that evidences of the Ruach Ha Kodesh's ministry have also increased. Reading through the history of the church after the Apostolic Age really doesn't yield much evidence that the gifts of the Ruach were manifest in any great way. But in the 1890's came the idea of a homeland for the Jewish people, and at the same time the Pentecostal movement was birthed. If I might be so bold as to suggest that the physical Israel was conceived, and the spiritual Israel was revived at the same time? It is also interesting to note that, again if I can be so bold as to say, that both have gone through a holocaust in the 20th century; the Jewish people going through a physical holocaust and the Church entering into a spiritual holocaust, the beginnings of the "great falling away." Another parallel that is interesting is the great calling out. In the 20th century Yahweh started separating the sheep from the goats in both realms. The messianic movement of Judaism grew tremendously and is a force that has gained notice, but not formal recognition by other Jews. In the Christian realm, Yahweh has drawn a line in the sand; calling out the righteous to His side; they being a remnant; without any formal recognition by mainstream religion or Catholicism. Here's another parallel to ponder. Because of persecution, the Jewish people yearned for a homeland and Yahweh gave them one. The church in the industrialized world has enjoyed freedom for quite a while while our brethren in other lands have been persecuted. Now that our governments are turning more and more to false religions and humanism we are losing our freedoms and soon will be persecuted. During the last few years Yahweh has been giving us the impression that we must forsake allegiance to politics and patriotism in our physical realm and focus on and work for the Kingdom of Heaven, which is our true homeland.
Getting back to the point at hand, it is important to remember one important thing. We are at war, not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, rulers, against spiritual wickedness in high places; in essence, Satan and his minions. There is nothing strange about the UFO phenomena, it is just a weapon of battle, a ruse to fight against what Yahweh is doing. But what most believers in Yahweh don't currently understand is that these manifestations of Satan's minions are like a slingshot against compared to an Abrams battle tank. We've got the evidence; at the mere mention of the name of Yeshua these entities run for the hills, they are no match.
