UFOs and Abductions Part 1: Dark Spiritual Encounters

This mini series is scant on scripture, mainly because not alot of specifics came to my mind. This post, is mostly an Ephesians 6:12 thing.

In the body of Christ, there's already a number of good folks talking about UFOs. Much of what i have to say is in this series in well line with what they say. I also don't pay as much attention to UFOs as i used to, and won't make a habit of writing about them. This miniseries is basically taking the major threads of publicly available UFOlogy info and trying to make sense of it all from a Christian perspective. It's pure speculation on my part.

It's a mishmash of the Christian folks and sold out UFO = extraplanetary stuff folks.

There are others like Joe Jordan, LA Marzulli, Dante Fortson and Guy Malone among others who do this sort of thing more often and better than me. Even though they disagree on alot, they all have good evidence for their claims.

When looking at alien abductions, we have few options as to who is doing them. A brief look for the one or two of you who have never heard of alien abduction: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_abduction

The general consensus in the field of abductions is that the abductors are one of the following:

1) aliens from another planet that's an absurd distance away

2) extra dimensional beings

3) demonic beings (as described in the Bible)

4) humans using the alien thing as a smoke screen for whatever they are doing. (This was explored in the "X-Files" and comes up occasionally in ICAR's investigations (more on ICAR later))

5) some combination of one of more of the above

6) some sort of physical being meant to look alien


#1- Aliens

It's quite easy to discredit this one based on logically looking at the claims of those who have been contacted by so-called "aliens". I have alot of questions here, that should at least shed some reasonable doubt here.

Why are aliens travelling absurd distances to mutilate cows (allegedly), take people in the night and basically rape them? Why would they need to make hybrids with flawed human beings? Why travel so far to give people spiritual advice?

One claim is they can't reproduce, and thus have to make human-alien hybrids. Where do new grays come from if they can't reproduce?

Betty Andreasson claimed that they did (through people) in "Watchers", yet other accounts I believe she claimed these were grays and not hybrids or that they were modified humans of some sort, that became grays. OK, but this contradicts the claims of other grays saying they're from space and the claims that they can't reproduce. If this works for one set of grays, why do some do it different?

So again, where do new greys come from? A single gray likely could not live for thousands of years, yet if greys have been here for millenia as some claim, how are they able to do so? Let's say alien fred came here 5000 years ago, the died of extreme old age 300-500 years later. How can his species still be around right now, 5000 years later if they can't reproduce?

Certainly grey aliens can't last for thousands of years, they'd have to make new ones to still have greys today, or else they would have died off long ago.

Cloning is an option, but if they can use cloning to perpetuate the species, why not keep doing it? And if you say that cloning works for now, but eventually will lead to extinction or genetic abnormalities, then how have they used it for so long with no problems? Why a sudden need for hybridization over thousands of years?

Also, why do aliens travel billions of miles to "correct" our religions and theology? Why do they tell us that any religion except Christianity is the right path "for you"? And when they tell us spiritual "truth" why does it often contradict itself, and other "space faiths"? These are a few examples from "UFO Religions" by Gregory Reece, a book about religions supposedly started by aliens. Again, why travel interstellar distances to give earth people re-dressed paganism?

The Urantia book claims different things than the book of Mormon. They both were given by "advanced beings" with an outer-space connection. If true, shouldn't they corroborate each other? Why do Mormons say God is an evolved human now living on Kolob, and that Jesus is "God's" first son and Satan's brother, while the Urantians claim that Jesus is really the angel Michael?

Why do Billy Meier's aliens say that Christ was a reincarnation of some ascended being? How would they even know who He is? How is this "true", when other aliens claim they made Him? (I don't know specific cases, but I recall reading that some greys have claimed that they had made Jesus.)

Why do the Aetherius people claim that Jesus was an incarnation of a master? Why does the Nation of Islam say the UFOs will destroy all white people, while others say the UFOs are here to help us? Other aliens supposedly told Hitler (documented in Mein Kampf, according to Joe Montaldo) to do the things he did. Why didn't the aliens just do it, and why would they want Hitler to do it? The "good cop, bad cop" only explains so much. Both sides have similar non-Christian beliefs.

The Raelians claim that their aliens created Jesus, Buddha and Mohammed to teach the world. (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFO_religion) if that's the case, why do the teachings of these people contradict each other? (See also http://dontaskthatinchurch.blogspot.com/2011/10/was-jesus-really-just-good-teacher-then.html). Why does this group of aliens contradict the others?

Why do only Scientologists mention Xenu? Why do no other UFO religions mention Thetans, or the other stuff Scientologists believe? Why did a Thetan-cleared Scientologist start the Eckankar religion?

Benjamin Creme has yet another spin on it on Jesus and the goals of the aliens to bring a "world teacher" called Maitreya. Again, this contradicts Nation of Islam's goals.

In short, why do all of these religion's founding aliens have these absurd stories to tell people, and why do their theologies not only disagree with each other, but also disagree with the Bible and who Jesus is?

Why do they travel so far to sell reincarnation which some faiths here already endorse? Why do they all contradict the Bible?

Surely there are better things to do once you've travelled that far. To use a familiar abduction example, we don't fly to the north pole to tranq polar bears, anal probe and make hybrids with them, then tell them it's for their own good, and by the way, what you believe is wrong. Why would aliens do that? It's illogical.

Aliens from so far away would likely have very little knowledge of our faiths, unless they'd been here forever as some argue. But then if there are ancient aliens, and they made our religions, why do none of the religions agree? Muslims can't agree with Hindus, and Jews and Christians with either or each other. Why is it these faiths disagree, especially if these aliens gave them to us for our benefit? Wouldn't it be better "spiritual truth" if the stories supported each other?

In Star trek, the Ferengi have a saying: "keep your lies consistent." Apparently ET hasn't learned the rules of acquisition.

The Bible alone is internally consistent, despite having more that 40 different authors across hundreds, and even thousands of years. Most of these authors never knew each other, yet there are consistent themes and symbolism all throughout. If the Bible is made up, how can this be?

Even the star wars novel series written across less than 40 years by maybe fewer authors can't even manage to get the color of lightsabers right, or the bios of certain characters right, and they have a team of "experts" keeping watch to make sure things stay consistent.

So too with the new age and "space" revelations. They have have had 50 (perhaps thousands if you buy the ancient aliens THEORY.) of years to get their story straight, and have yet to do so. Any group of aliens spouting "truth" should at least be consitent with each other if it's really true.

It shouldn't surprise us though, that these "aliens" preach stories that contradict each other. It also shouldn't surprise us they also talk about a different Jesus. For these aliens from the stars are really "angels from heaven" or demons in disguise.

False Jesus-es (like Rael, Billy Meier) and false paths of spirituality were foretold nearly 2000 years ago in the Bible.

Matthew 24

V 5

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

V 24-26

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.

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.

http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Mat&c=24&v=1&t=KJV#1

(See also Mark 13 and Luke 21)


Galatians 1:6 - 9

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Gal&c=1&v=1&t=KJV#1

Funny how the Bible can readily explain the "false gospels" of ET so easily.


#2 - Extradimensional Aliens/ Advanced Beings

Some will say that the aliens from other planets are also on a "higher physical plane". OK, but they still fall into the same pitfalls as above. Also, why would a "higher" being need to hybridize with a lower? Like a man with an ape, say? It does the ape no favors, and the human none either. Like the nephilim, offspring of human and angel, they reportedly hated their angelic fathers, and also hated humanity (Book of Enoch). They killed people like crazy, which is one possible reason for the flood.

These "higher beings" also should have their story straight, but haven't got it right after millenia. They do after all, have the advantage of "being more evolved and on a higher plane". So if they're so advanced, why is it so easy to debunk their claims? Whether they're from another star/planet and/or from a "higher plane", they suffer the same mistakes.

The Bible supports this extra-dimensional view, except the "exradimensional being" are called fallen angels (sons of God, Genesis 6), and demons. These beings in the Bible are always seeking to draw people away from God, Jesus Christ and the Bible, which is often what "aliens" are found to be doing. They also try to focus worship onto themselves and will never lead you or anyone else to the truth.


#3-Demonic Beings

This looks really likely, in light of the above and the many testimonies here:

http://www.alienresistance.org/ce4testimonies.htm

Also, go to LA Marzulli's site and get his e-version of alien interviews. That will be pretty much confirmation of this.

Whitley Strieber has also said in his book "Communion" that it was like he had been visited by the demons of old. I recall seeing Carl Sagan say much the same thing citing that the demon encounters of old were near identical to alien encounters. Of course he poo-pooed them both.

I also demonstrated this theory in my multipart look at Betty Andreasson's case.

http://dontaskthatinchurch.blogspot.com/2011/01/alien-abduction-autopsy-betty.html

Interestingly, Andreasson learns her greys call themselves "watchers" which is the title of the fallen angels in the Book of Enoch. Are they the same? I can't say.

Here's an interesting case that supports the view of demons.

http://www.ufodigest.com/news/0109/abductions-stopped.html

An interesting case which could also support this view is the Billy Meier (EVERYONE knows about him) case. Though this was pretty much torn to pieces by Open Minds Radio in their recent magazine and shows. They have good evidence to support that Meier is a fraud, and his story often contradicts itself. Joe Montaldo of ICAR has in the past speculated that Meier had some real experiences, then they stopped and then he did alot of the fraud stuff to keep it going.

I agree with Joe, that Meier had encounters, then produced fake pictures and stuff just to stay in the spotlight. His contact with alleged aliens fits quite well with the demonic theory.

Semjase an "alien" who contacted Meier, has a name which is quite close to Semjaza in the Book of Enoch. Meier and his crew refute this by saying the pronunciation is different...that's just semantics as far as I'm concerned. "Eye-gor" vs Ee-gor is still the same humpback helping Young Frankenstein.

At any rate, Meier supposedly gets "prophetic" words and predictions from his supposed contacts, which if true, are not messages from the Pleieades, but messages from Satan. They teach lies about Jesus, and claim Meier is an equal with Christ. See Galatians 1 above.

These aliens claim that they are not only aliens, but on something like the equivalent of another dimension which is why most of us can't see them. I wonder who else is like that? Right. Demons. This is the sort of alien you see working in "Ashtar Command" or various galactic federations. You also see this with Blossom Goodchild, who channels not only dead spirits, but New Age messages from "space brothers."

Lynn Dickie (set the captives free) used to do "Lightworker" stuff, like reiki and i believe channellings. They claimed to be aliens and had her take many pictures of UFOs. When she came to Christ, they revealed their true nature.

The most damning evidence that "alien" abductions, and the UFO phenomena is demonic/satanic is that Aleister Crowley, who admittedly practiced "magick", encountered an entity, Lam, which looks quite similar to the alien greys. The author of the following article mentions that many Crowleynian magicians seek out the Betty Andreasson "Watchers II" book. This article explores the connection in depth. Armor up first though.

http://www.boudillion.com/lam/lam.htm

We know in the Bible that those who practice witchcraft (like Crowley), are really in touch with demons. 1 Corinthians 10 explains that those who worship idols (which is pretty much a magical ritual) really are praying to devils.

2 Corinthians 11 tells us that Satan presents himself as an angel of light, which would explain the "nordic" aliens, as well as the aliens of all stripes that present themselves as here for our good. 1 Timothy 4 tells us that people will believe "doctrines of demons" which is exactly what people are doing when they start following the teachings of these "aliens".


#4 -Humans

Will be covered more in depth in the next article which covers what ICAR calls "milabs". I really don't know much about this aside from whats out there in podcasts. Actually really anything outside of Joe Montaldo, and one of Strieber's books.

There was also an interview with Open Minds that Alejandro Rojas did with Gabe Valdez (and later Norio Hayakawa sp?) That may be related. This article gets into that a bit, you can probably dig the interviews up at open minds' archives.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/alejandro-rojas/cattle-mutiliations_b_932711.html

#5-Some Sort of Hodgepodge

The fact that so many stories are so different, yet also similar suggests that one, or more of the above are occuring.

We can see there is demonic power at work, and there is good evidence of human involvement also, though i would not venture to what extent there is. Human involvement would explain why there is physical evidence, such as crashes, implants and so on in an otherwise spiritual phenomena.

I also once read an article by someone who claimed that as a child, they were ritually abused and also dressed as an alien while adult earth-humans did the abduction scenario. I really wish i had a link on this. This would explain the satanic ritual abuse connection cited in so many abductions.

This idea was sort of explored in the "X-Files" episode, "Jose Chung's From Outerspace." Must see.

But human involvement doesn't explain how abductions can be stopped in Christ's name. This situation was also one article, without any real attribution, so i can't vett it in any event. Take that merely as a possibility, i don't think this could explain every abduction.

If you want to dig deeper into possible human involvement with UFOs, Nick Redfern and Ray Boeche have been partial to interviews on Future Quake.

http://futurequake.com/Audio/FQShow231.mp3

http://futurequake.com/Audio/FQShow211.mp3

We also know that Satan sometimes works in concert with humans, using them, as in the cases of Haman, and Judas. So, seeing a collaboration in the UFO phenomena should be expected.


#6-some sort of physical being, meant to look like aliens

This one gets out there. I don't have much in the form of links, just what i've randomly stumbled across researching UFOs.

There's the aforementioned "dress up" scenario, where humans play the part of aliens.

There's an option that grays are some sort of robot, or golem/homonculous. That is, some sort of physical automaton under demonic control. This is pure speculation on my part, BUT Aleister Crowley and Jack Parsons (i think) were both rumored to be trying to create a homonculous, that is a golem. This would explain the often robotic nature of the greys and why Betty Andreasson's aliens looked like clay to her, but again, it doesn't explain many other cases, and doesn't fit well over all.

Lastly, perhaps greys and other aliens are some sort of genetic chimera, to give demons a temporary body. I believe Darrell Simms, or someone on Montaldo's shows claimed they caught a grey by surprise and killed it with a samurai sword. Unbelieveable i know, but what up to this point about UFOs has been believable? Anyways, this guys dog ate part of it, and DIED several days later! He also had some of it sent for analysis and had some interesting results that i can't recall. Must have been really interesting.

So, hopefully this sheds some light on one aspect of UFOlogy. It's interesting to note that these "aliens" often say they don't reveal themselves because we would worship them as gods, yet thats what some are doing anyways. Not to mention, they are leading people away from the Bible and into false religions and cults. If they didn't want to affect our religions, then why are they? It's classic paganism/eastern mysticism.

For more information, there are a number of UFO sources to read, many of them biased. A decent one is Jim Marrs' "Alien Agenda." If you read it, make sure you put on the armor of God and pray as you read it. With the knowledge that UFOs are a plot of Satan, you'll find plenty of decent evidence of the reality of UFOs, but also evidence that they are not aliens, or of God, but demons and fallen angels with an agenda.

The last part of the book is quite New Agey, but the reports from remote viewers shed alot of light on some of Satan's schemes. Again, the book is deceptive, so make sure you go into it with God, and cling to Jesus.

The Ups and Downs of Sleep Paralysis

I know this is covered in my general testimony, but it's broken down and summarized here. This is my testimony for www.stopsleepparalysis.org. Great ministry, from what I hear, and Tom Bionic has some great stories of those who have over come sleep paralysis. So here's mine.


I’ve given this testimony before, multiple times, but I’ve had some new things happen since then, well. It’s time to consolidate these. Unlike a lot of people, I don’t recall having sleep paralysis before becoming a Christian. In fact all of mine happened afterwards. I suspect because of I had switched sides in the Ephesians 6:12 spiritual war, from the side of Satan to the side of God by accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.

Prior to this, I had had a pseudo Catholic influence and prayed as such, but hadn’t become a Christian. In my teens I had been into the New Age, ghosts, cryptozoology and UFO’s. In middle school I had read a few UFO books, and even into high school, I read Fate magazine quite a bit. This magazine had quite a number of each of those sorts of stories. I never really seriously practiced any magic or meditations, though from time to time I did try to move objects with my mind or collect chi/life energy so I could become stronger. I knew “magic” was wrong, but thought that psychic powers and stuff were natural phenomena. So, I had this sort of mixture of Bible and New Age mixed together in my head.


Episode 1: Night Terrors at 19

This one happened right after I had become a Christian. I was 19 and had just come to Christ through Chuck Swindoll’s ministry, Insight for Living. This was for purely selfish reasons, I didn’t want to go to hell, because deep in my heart I knew there was one.

Then I started reading the Bible and read quite a bit. I wouldn’t say I really “got it” but it was a good foundation. After some months of listening to Chuck and reading the Word, I occasionally caught Jerry Falwell’s program on TV. One of these few times, I saw they were talking about the Columbine massacre and had an author on commenting about the two killers and how they were into Satanism. The book they were pitching was The Dark Side of the Supernatural. Having come from the New Age, I had sort of this fascination with demons and spiritual warfare and so figured that I’d check it out.

Looking at it now, they have some really great information for a foundation of what the Bible said about UFO’s and a number of other things. I read it, but in some part of my heart I didn’t want to accept everything they said. One incident in the book was…sleep paralysis.

They talked about the classical “demon sitting on someone’s chest and pressing them down” story. I was freaked out by that. That night, or within a few days I had my first taste of sleep paralysis.

I awoke, and was being pressed into my bed and felt the most evil and hate-filled presence that one could imagine. Hate-filled is actually an understatement. Try as I might, actual words fail to describe the kind of intelligent evil that assaulted me in my bed that night. Luckily, it did not show itself.
I was confused. I wasn’t sure what was going on. My cat was not reacting to the presence, surely if something were in my room, my cat would react. Not so. She slept soundly.

It was then that I recalled what the Darkside book said. Which was more or less to pray in Jesus’ name and it will stop. So I did, and it stopped. I went back to sleep.

Episode 2: A year or more later

My second nocturnal attack was more or less the same as the first, except for one thing. I don’t remember how the attack stopped. It did stop of course, but all I remember is blacking out and going back to sleep.

My memory of this incident isn’t the best, but I have some ideas of what happened. What I think happened was that I did cry out to God, and I did eventually ask in the name of Jesus Christ for it to stop. It is also possible that I tried on my own to concentrate on moving one part of my body (a New Age, anti alien abduction technique) to make it stop. In any even, I think it did eventually stop after pleading in Christ’s name.

Why didn’t it stop right away?

At this time, though I was saved, I was living in sort of a “cheap grace” mode. Sometimes sinning thinking that I an just repent right away. Salvation was my get out of sin free card. I believe also that along with my Christian faith, I had not fully renounced my New Age beliefs. In fact, I tried on occasion to try developing telekinesis and also tried to will myself to dream of the future. In short, I was a Christian, but carnal. I confessed sin, but who knows how often I had truly repented of it. I also had sin, unconfessed, which I also didn’t believe was sin.

All of these things together, I believe resulted in a sleep paralysis attack that didn’t stop right away. As if God was showing me that the trick to beating this is that Jesus just isn’t a magic word, but that my relationship with Him had to be right.


Episode 3: Dark Shadows, Darker Shadows

My third episode was not really sleep paralysis, but related.

I was in my early to mid 20’s and lived in a basement, in a house with a pastor at the church I was going to. I still had sin issues in my life that I was dealing with, but was also going through a hugely dark time. I had just been fired from a job, I was struggling to find a new one. I also wrestled with what it meant to be a Christian.

I had been friends with a pagan or two at this point, and unfortunately they were not the best influences. Who knows how many demons were attached to them and if they (demons) decided to ravage my life. I was also really into occult entertainment, thinking it harmless. Buffy and Angel were my favorite shows. I played Soul Reaver a lot. These things subtly and not so subtly put my relationship with God on the rocks. On top of that, I was going to church mostly for socializing and I was dealing with a lot of anger from the job situation.

One night, I awoke in the middle of the night. Eyes closed, I could sense or feel that a person was in the room with me. Not that I claimed any psychic gift, but the way this person moved or felt in my room really seemed like it was my roommate. Like other times we had been in a room together.

But it couldn’t have been.

My door was quite noisy when opened, and my door had not opened. Furthermore, if it had been opened, my cat would have woken up and ran out of the door, or reacted in some way. Realizing this, I decided to open my eyes and peek around motionlessly.

I didn’t see anything or anybody. That is, until I looked into the darkest part of the room, where even light from the egress window didn’t go. In this mass of shadows, I saw a pitch black, man shaped figure. It stood motionless because I think it knew I saw it.

Again at this point, I don’t recall what happened. I believe that I whispered “In the name of Jesus Christ, leave” and went back to sleep. If not that, I prayed in Jesus’ name for it to leave and went to sleep.

It must have left because I was not bothered further.


Episode 4: A New Direction

After the shadow person incident, I went into a sort of slide. I continued struggling with sin issues, but also began to struggle with who God was. I felt really hurt and did the bare minimum one could do and still be called saved. I probably read my Bible infrequently as well. During this time I got back into UFOs big time, and did Yoga periodically and really was starting to get into some bad stuff again. Backsliding big time.

Not to plug the Revelations Radio Network, but it wasn’t until I started listening to Future Quake, reading Dr. Heiser’s work, listening to Russ Dizdar and Revelations Radio that I turned back to God. Long story short, God slowly healed those things and I’ve repented. I began to understand things from a real Christian worldview instead of the philosophically/morally Christian worldview.

I had an interesting dream which had an impact in the spirit world, but that’s not what this episode is about. Suffice it to say, there were a couple dreams that I am pretty I was visited by a demon, though not attacked.

One day, I heard Gaz Parker’s testimony. For some reason, I really felt an urge to get in touch with him, and we exchange(d) emails periodically. Within a very short time, Gaz encouraged me to do a blog. I began to pray for him to have deliverance from spiritual attacks he was having.

Almost right as I was starting the blog, I had a dream.

This dream I was in “my house” but it wasn’t actually the house I do live in, nor that I have ever lived in. Outside on the street was this tough looking biker guy, bald. My family was around too, but I saw this guy walking around outside on the street and I saw him and knew he was a demon. I was going to go outside and give him a whuppin’ and rebuke him in Jesus Christ’s name. I was just opening the screen door when I realized I couldn’t talk.

Then I just began thinking “the blood of Jesus” repeatedly and then I woke up instantly. As I began to become aware, I could feel my body suddenly being released from paralysis. At the time I knew it was a demonic attack because it felt like the same kind of presence as my first attack.

After this, I began praying to God about the spiritual armor, and asking to be filled with the Holy Spirit. I was able to bring each piece of armor to God, which is odd because I can never remember all of them.


Episode 5: Really?

My most recent attack wasn’t triggered by anything that I can think of off hand. And I really have no background story to go with it. I just remember waking up and feeling like there was a light pressure holding me down. It was incredibly light, but I could tell it was sleep paralysis.

Of course, by now I know what the game is, and as I was about halfway through thinking “Jesus” I could move.

Not to say that demons are not dangerous, but if I had to guess, this demon wasn’t fully committed to his mission to paralyze me. The reason being, I am taking my relationship with Christ a lot more seriously now, and I am doing my best to follow Him. This demon knew that Christ would save me from him, and so ran almost before he started.


So that's all I've got for now. I hope that I don't get anymore, but you never know. I do know that if they come again, Jesus will save me again as He has before.



UPDATE 5/2012

Episode 6

I recently slept in a room where I know someone did qigong. This person does qigong merely for health, and "knows the border" or where to stop before getting into outright demonic oppression I guess. And although I typically pray for protection before sleep, that night something was off with me and my prayers (maybe I forgot, maybe I had some unconfessed sin) and guess what. Sleep paralysis. It wasn't bad, but I felt something pushing on me and verbally asked Jesus for help as i awoke. And it stopped.

Tying up Loose ends

Good morning to everyone, I just want to say thanks to everyone who's had a chance to check this blog out. I'm sure that many are one time visitors, that's great! I would also hope that some people are return visitors. I recently discovered through the blog settings that there are actually alot of people visiting. Both from deliberatre searches and through some odd means as well.

However you got here, thank you. I am humbled that you would visit, and my prayer is that if you are a believer, you will grow closer to Christ and find answers that will help you in your walk with Him. If you are not a believer, my hope is that the Lord will bring you to Him, if not through me, then through some other means.

Please feel free to drop comments as I do read them when I see them. Please let me know if I am off on the use of scripture, or venturing into territory that is unBiblical. If you have questions, or other topics, please just leave a comment anywhere. So far the Lord has blessed me with alot of stuff to write about and people are finding it, so at least I hope ya'll are getting something out of this.

I will also be going back and editing old posts, so please check back at topics you found interesting. My testimony (which is way long) and the qigong blog have been updated. Please check the archives if you are interested in reading those. I will hopefully be going into the following related topics: Christian Yoga, Accupuncture, Tai Chi, and a wherever else the Lord leads.

Moving on, I was thinking to wrap up final thoughts on Betty Andreasson, but I guess I don't really have much else to say. I think at the moment I've said my piece on her experience. I have a ton of questions for her and her family, and I had tried to get in touch with Becky Andreasson, and my prayers are with her, but I have been unsuccessful. So for the moment, I will consider this poor lady's experiences and abduction case as closed.

Take care.

The Shroud of the Darkside has fallen: Betty Andreasson part 7

So with Chapter 9, Betty Andreasson's experience with the so-called "aliens" takes a disturbing turn. Already, even at the beginning there were warning signs that Betty was engaged with demonic entities, and possibly fallen angels. Recall that when she thought or said "Jesus" that the entities became slightly nervous. And well they should have. 1 Peter 3:22 http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=1Pe&c=3&t=NLT#22



"Now Christ has gone to heaven. He is seated in the place of honor next to God, and all the angels and authorities and powers are bowing before him. "



That being knew about Jesus, and that he was subject to Him.



Next, we know also that the phoenix bird disintegrated when Betty asked Jesus for help, and the phoenix bird has many dubious links to pagan deities, this this also proves that Betty was at the hands of prinicpalities and powers for they had to yield to Jesus Christ and His authority.

So, moving to chapter 9, Betty's researchers poke at her for more information about her "alien" abduction. They are completely deluded that these beings are from outerspace, EBE's and are fully negligent as to what they are really dealing with.

Page 128 - 132 - The UFO investigators ask Betty what was in the Blue Book that Quazgaa gave her, and they ask if Q or Joohop (one of the other aliens) had any predictions for the future. (Jeremiah 29:8 - 14 http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Jer&c=29&t=NLT#8) and (http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Isa&c=8&t=NLT#19)

Isaiah 8:19 - 20:

So why are you trying to find out the future by consulting mediums and psychics? Do not listen to their whisperings and mutterings. Can the living find out the future from the dead? Why not ask your God?

"Check their predictions against my testimony," says the LORD. "If their predictions are different from mine, it is because there is no light or truth in them.

So, they ask Betty what those are, and what will happen to earth, and they marvel because Betty becomes contorted and looks as though she was fighting against something trying to control her. That's demonic posession and/or channelling! But there's more. Betty (acting as a channel) says that the beings are in control, and that they are in the heavens and that they have powers. Now, that is interesting.

Check that against Ephesians 6:12

For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms.

Betty's channeling continues despite her struggle and she rattles of in another laguage. This smacks of the demonic. Her investigators pester her for more information, technical formulas, star infomration, and things that one would expect to learn from a real ET. Page 132 ends with a typical "man's greed is making him destroy himself speech." Many ET and "higher being" speeches go that route.

Page 133 - 137 - Betty speaks in a weird tongue again, and the beings say through her that there is power in everything around us. Probably this is a "chi" sort of thing, or the "universal force" kind of thing. The energy in everything that's in the New Age. A bombshell is dropped again in a major way on page 134. The investigators ask Betty, not the beings, what the truth is. She emphasizes that Jesus Christ is the truth! And, that He was the only answer for humanity.

So, why did the entities allow her to say this? Did God lead her to say it? Was this a last chance for the investigators to find the key to the whole UFO enigma?

We will never know, as the investigators through this away and went right back to asking the beings questions. The beings insisted to seek things spiritually and that doors would be opened and that doors had been left open for people. Page 137 and 138 it's revealed that the beings can travel in and through the earth. What's in the earth? More than likely, the earth is filled with liquid hot magma, and who do we know that used to walk through "the hot stones of fire?" aka, Magma? Satan.

Ezekiel 28:14

I ordained and anointed you as the mighty angelic guardian. [fn] You had access to the holy mountain of God and walked among the stones of fire.

http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Eze&c=28&t=NLT#14

(Now that passage refers to the king of Tyre, but think about it. Would a mortal man have been in Eden? Or how about being described as an angelic guardian?)

Next, also consider this. The Bible describes that there are beings under the earth. Humanity's ability to be under the earth is quite limited.

http://www.blueletterbible.org/search/translationResults.cfm?Criteria=under+the+earth&t=NLT&sf=5)

So, these beings' ability to be under the earth, presumably with magma, etc hints at a demonic origin.

Page 138 - Interestingly, Betty is asked how many alien races are visiting earth. The number now is "who knows" depending on who you ask, but the beings said through Betty that there were 70 different races. This is strikingly familiar with Michael Heiser's work on the divine council, where he points out that there were 70 beings who were basically in charge of the nations. (Ie, principalities and powers) http://www.thedivinecouncil.com/. This is a fascinating study, and I encourage you to check it out.

Much of the discussion is a back and forth, going in circles kind of fare. Typical for New Age/channelled information.

Chapter 10 takes a look at the blue book that was given to Betty. The book has a number of unusual qualities, but it was taken away after Betty had read it for a while. Betty asked God and Jesus to show her about the book, but it's not clear what happened from there. Words came to her, but we're not told what those words were. Betty's daughter Becky also touched the book, and unfortunately Becky is well trenched into the New Age and has a number of experiences like Betty's.

Betty then begins channelling another entity, and he seems rather shy. He didn't materialize, or say much to the investigators. I mention this because, now that the doors were opened with Betty, through the abduction and hypnosis, spirits seemed to like coming around.

This scripture comes to mind.

Matthew 12:43 - 45:

"When an evil spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, seeking rest but finding none. Then it says, `I will return to the person I came from.' So it returns and finds its former home empty, swept, and clean. Then the spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before. That will be the experience of this evil generation."

http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Mat&c=12&t=NLT#43

In any event, the investigators' questioning of the new entity led them nowhere.

Chapter 11 is more or less a wrap up of the abduction event. Not much worth noting there.

Page 180 (chpt 11) - They note that Betty had read books and articles on UFOs. A key feature though, is that some of her case coincides with cases that hadn't been published. Could this have opened the door for her to have experiences? Possibly.

Page 181 - One interesting thing the investigators said.

"Regarding the bird and the voice, our attitudes varied: this segment was a nonrelated vision instigated by Betty's own religious beliefs; this episode was a programmed vision induced by the entities; it could have been a staged, symbolic (yet physical) initiation rite as descried by Betty; it was a deliberate deception on the part of the aliens to make human beings believe in a UFO/religion connection. And Lastly, perhaps there was a possible link between UFOs and religion."

It's frustrating reading this book, because the investigators get so close, so many times, yet walk right past the truth. In any event, the above explanations are plausible, some partially, and perhaps some could tie into the religious aspect. Rest assured, this and other UFO experiences are quite likely demonic in origin and Joe Jordan has hundreds of case studies proving that abduction can be stopped by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Joe's theory does no take into account the possiblity of physical abductions, and there are undoubtedly some, but for now let's keep focused on the spiritual side of things.

Zipping along to Chapter 12.

Page 186 - 187 - Betty seems to have acquired some limited psychic ability (always demonic in origin) and received flashes of insight here and there about various things. She also describes a light being she saw at some point. Her house, and hers alone also experienced power failures for no reason.

2 Corinthians 11:14 - 15

But I am not surprised! Even Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light. So it is no wonder his servants can also do it by pretending to be godly ministers. In the end they will get every bit of punishment their wicked deeds deserve.

http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=2Cr&c=11&t=NLT#14

Page 188 - Betty was reading her Bible, and felt the sense of being watched. She looked up to see what can only be described as a demonic being, or possibly a nephilim. Red hair and eyebrows, black eyes, the whole works. He looked ordinary except the eyes. This was in the early 60's well before her investigation had started.

Another instance had her daughter Becky screaming after seeing an orb of light. After this, she was able to perform "automatic writing" in strange symbols.

There were a number of other things that the investigators brought up, but the next thing of special interest comes from the epilogue. It seems that time had passed an Betty was divorced (something common with abductees) and met a new man, Bob Luca. Without totally throwing Bob under the bus, he was apparently a Rosicrucian, further opening Betty's world into the occult.

Page 198 - After a number of phone calls from an "angry hornet voice" that were likely the beings, Betty reflects that "she had made a choice to serve the alien creatures. Now she wanted to break this bond, but there seemed to be no way to break this bond."

Betty later finds that two of her sons were killed in an auto accident. This was within 24 hours of hearing a telphone call from strange mechanical voices. (During her investigation, one of the investigators had suffered a heart attack.) Fowler notes that the death toll for this investigation was now four.

Page 200 - Betty "was convinced that the alien voice on the phone was that of a fallen or evil angel who hinted at - or caused - the tragic deaths of her sons."

Then her investigators again poo poo her faith, and get into what LA Marzulli calls "the alien gospel." That is, our ancestors were stupid and thought advanced technology was supernatural powers. (thanks Arthur C CLarke for giving us that lie.)

Page 202 - Fowler asked deliberate reliogous questions at one point.

"Raymond Fowler - Have they anything to do with what we call the second coming of Christ?

Betty -They definitely do.

RF - When is this going to occur?

B - It is not for them to tell you

RF - Do they know?

B - They know the Master is getting ready, and very close.

RF - But do they know the date?

B - No.

RF - Who does know the date?

B - The Father"

Contrast this with:

Matthew 24:36

"However, no one knows the day or the hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows."

It is interesting to note that the entities were truthful this time. Why? Did they fear losing credibility? Who can say? Perhaps they told a small truth to help Betty, Fowler, and people swallow the larger lie that they were really aliens.

Finishing the book now, I see no obvious reasons why Betty endured this. The book lists her family, and there was no obvious connection with abduction or occult things in her family history. I'm not sure how this will go, but perhaps I can try to ask her family if there's anything that wasn't written about in the book.

In the final pages of the Andreasson Affair, Betty mentions an extra entity came into her house when she was abducted. She described this entity as a cloud, or a "shade." I don't know that I make much of this other than perhaps that was the demon, and the aliens were just illusion. That is pure speculation on my part.

So, what does this all mean? I stick to the theory that Betty Andreasson was abducted by demonic entities and was taken (perhaps physicaly, perhaps not) on this crazy journey. There were multiple times when the truth about Jesus Christ's power over these beings nearly came forth, but for some reason or another, the spirits were never tested. http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=1Jo&c=4&v=1&t=NLT

1 John 4:1 -

Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world.

This is the way to find out if they have the Spirit of God: If a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ became a human being, that person has the Spirit of God.

If a prophet does not acknowledge Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist. You have heard that he is going to come into the world, and he is already here.

But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won your fight with these false prophets, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.

And at no point were the entities rebuked in the name and authority of Jesus Christ, nor did Betty repent that she had given them a foothold into her life. Again, this is no disrespect to Betty, but rather shows the state of the modern church. We are sadly ignorant of our spiritual authority when we are in a right relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

I myself have been victim of this. I believe there was a time when I was an immature Christian that I was under demonic oppression, and I did nothing to stop it. I had no idea what was going on.

Know this, that if you experience abduction, ask Jesus Christ for help, and get Him to come into your life as Lord and Savior ASAP. Ask Him to close the doors, and show you with the Holy Spirit what you need to do to stop them, and He will show you.

Peace in Christ.

The Tables Have Turned: Betty Andreasson's Abductors Hint at Their Evil Origins

Ohboy! My copy of “The Andreasson Affair" is getting beat up! So Betty got some vague message from a disembodied voice, possibly the phoenix, possibly not. I am of the opinion that the voice was not God, I could very well be wrong. I’d like to get say LA Marzulli, Russ Dizdar’s or someone else’s take on that (and this whole case for that matter, but sadly they have bigger fish to fry, and the Lord has given me this case to dissect. I’ll be happy for what I have.)

So having left off around page 87 of “The Andreasson Affair”, let’s pick up again. Page 88 has Betty giving her opinions of the bird to her investigators. Mainly, she insist that it was alive, and that she was hot. She mentions “specks of gold” floating all around, which is an interesting link to the New Apostolic Reformation. I recall in a Podcast Derek Gilbert mentioning this phenomena in conjunction with a lot of the NAR’s supernatural (and heretical) goings on. Betty’s investigators confirm that Betty’s story up until the bird episode was right on target with a typical close encounter of the third kind. Ray Fowler affirmed that to Betty this bird thing was as real as the rest of the abduction.


Page 90 – 93 – Betty, Ray and the other investigators discuss the religious aspects of her experience. She described a greenish sea that was also clear. (Interesting to note, I believe Revelation describes a sea of glass near God’s throne EXCEPT that the sea near the true God is CLEAR and free of imperfection. A green sea implies some sort of impurity and possibly a mockery of the Lord’s throne room.)

Betty emphasizes that she felt intense emotions, she believes it was the love of Christ. Fowler seems to want to ascribe all of this to a religious experience. His theory was that Betty was compensating for an “alien” abduction by assigning religious symbolism to the experience. His main problem with that is that the phoenix is not a modern Christian symbol, but an old one. (It was from here that I probably got the theory about the phoenix, but then again, it’s fairly self evident that’s what it was supposed to be)

Betty also connected the bird symbol on the alien uniforms to an Inca Indian symbol. It seemed to serve as a sort of insignia, probably denoting the grey’s loyalty to this bird being.

From page 93 to around 104, it’s basically a description of her journey back to the ship, and it’s more or less a reverse of her trip there. On page 104, Betty remarked that the beings were kinder to her after mentioning Jesus, and when she was in these glass chairs that were full of liquid.

Page 109 -111 – Quazgaa has once again come to Betty, and he stares at her apparently hypnotizing her. Betty describes that his face has become like a bee’s face. I find this interesting. I don’t know why, perhaps it’s because Judd Burton has described some of the giants as speaking with a sort of buzzing or insect like sound. Also, other abductees report insectoid “aliens” during abductions, for whatever that is worth.

Apparently as Quazgaa speaks with her telepathically, he apparently is giving her formulas, presumably scientific ones. What these formulas are for, Betty doesn’t say. Quazgaa also states that he’s come to help the human race, which is a common element in abductions. Quazgaa also states that “All things have been planned” and that “love is greatest of all.” This is interesting because 1) it sounds like a good thing, and 2) there is just enough Biblical truth there for it to sound right. The catch is, this creature does not give that glory to God or Jesus Christ. Christ said that love is one of the greatest things a person an do. And the Bible affirms that God has planned everything from start to finish. This lack of praise to God betrays the “alien’s” loyalties.

Q also says that “They have technology that man could use…It is through the spirit, but man will not search out that portion.” (page 111) This is something that comes up later in Betty’s case, in the “Watchers” book. What does this mean? Does this mean that there is a spiritual “technology”? Is Quazgaa lying? Or is he trying goad mankind into searching for a “spiritual technology” so that we will open up ways for the demonic to enter our world? I can’t say, but I wouldn’t rule out any of them at this point.

Quazgaa also suggests that mankind will find many answers in nature, in fire, and basically the natural world. This is true to a point, all creation declares the glory of God. But what Quazgaa seems to be suggesting is some sort of New Agey kind of spiritual pursuit of “spiritual technology.”

One could argue that mankind has pursued that before. There are rumors that the Nazis tried to develop technology from channeled (aka, demonic) information. Some of the contactees (UFO) of the 1950’s also received plans for technology from “aliens” and tried to build it. Quazgaa finishes by saying that energy is all around man, again a New Age concept like Chi, or The Force of Star Wars.

Some quick thoughts about all of this, is that he’s just trying to make Betty feel special, the way many trapped in the New Age are led on by these beings. Often times when one is enthralled by familiar spirits, they lead one to believe that they are gifted and chosen for a specific purpose. This is needless to say, a great confidence boost. For more on this sort of thing, search out Lynn Dickie’s testimony, or that of Gaz Parker. Gaz also may cover some of that on his blog (http://newagedeception.wordpress.com/)

Over the next number of pages, Betty described more things about the UFO, and the evening. Her investigators were frothing at the mount for any information they could hear that would prove an ET visitation. They wanted to check weather reports, and it even came to light that the grass in a certain section of Betty’s yard would no longer grow. This does seem to imply that Betty was physically taken somewhere, though it is absolutely impossible to be 100% sure. Also, Betty was left with Quazgaa’s blue book, which she was supposed to read, and eventually it disappeared. Oddly, the entities at this point are also using these glowing orbs for various reasons. My thoughts are that it’s for paralysis, or even just for show.

Page 120 – Betty is told by “Joohop” that the contents of the blue book will only be revealed through the spirit. Joohop said that it is “the language of light.” For those familiar with Lynn DIckie’s testimony, or LA Marzulli’s “Alien Interviews” know that Lynn was able to write in “light language” which was given to her by the beings she was in contact with. Suffice it to say, Lynn repented of this and chose to follow Christ. When she did so, the “friendly alien beings” she was in contact with showed their true colors and turned absolutely nasty.

Betty asks Joohop why man does not seek love, and Joohop gives her a half truth, “man has separated himself.” Joohop uses this to support perhaps a dualistic theology, but of course stops short of saying that man has separated himself from God, and can only be restored through faith in Jesus Christ. For beings that are supposed to have no knowledge of human religion, they sure have strong theological opinions and a knowledge of the human condition.

Page 124 – Betty recounts how the grass on the hill where the UFO was, was unable to grow grass.

Page 125 – 126 - Betty recalls how she was warned away from using hypnosis because it was “in the occult realm.” Oh, how true that is Betty. She also described how she felt better before God for having searched out UFO investigators to help her figure things out. In an ideal word she would have rebuked the entities in the first place, failing that, she should have went to a competent deliverance minister to get help. Sadly, those are probably in short supply back then as they are now.

This is where the abduction event itself seems to end. From this point on, in chapter 9, there is a quite interesting turn of events that to me proves this whole episode is demonic. The door to the occult had been thrown wide open, and the demons were flying through it with reckless abandon. For starters, on of the UFO investigators had a heart attack and died. That could be coincidence, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there had been some sort of demonic thing that happened to him. The next thing that confirms this theory is that Betty began speaking in unknown languages as though some was speaking THROUGH her. She also seemed to begin acting as a channeler at this point.

So stay tuned. The proof is in the pudding, and desert’s almost served! If there hasn’t already been enough proof of demonic involvement with Betty Andreasson’s case, you’ll see even more soon.

Boy it's Hot. Is it me, or just the Phoenix?: Betty Andreasson's Bogus Journey part 5

Betty Andreasson had just asked Jesus to help her, presumably to do something about the heat that she was suffering from. As soon as she asked for help, the bird disappeared and where it had stood was a small fire.

Page 84 – 85 – The fire burned down, became embers and then somehow turned into a “thick, claylike worm.”

Before continuing on, what in the world just happened? Notice the parallels to a certain bird known as, the phoenix. Take a look at this traditional example of the phoenix.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_(mythology)

"Let us consider that wonderful sign [of the resurrection] which takes place in Eastern lands, that is, in Arabia and the countries round about. There is a certain bird which is called a phoenix. This is the only one of its kind, and lives five hundred years. And when the time of its dissolution draws near that it must die, it builds itself a nest of frankincense, and myrrh, and other spices, into which, when the time is fulfilled, it enters and dies. But as the flesh decays a certain kind of worm is produced, which, being nourished by the juices of the dead bird, brings forth feathers. Then, when it has acquired strength, it takes up that nest in which are the bones of its parent, and bearing these it passes from the land of Arabia into Egypt, to the city called Heliopolis. And, in open day, flying in the sight of all men, it places them on the altar of the sun, and having done this, hastens back to its former abode. The priests then inspect the registers of the dates, and find that it has returned exactly as the five hundredth year was completed."

Not 100% match, but enough parallels that I am sure it’s safe to assume that’s what the scoop is.

So, in essence, it seems that Betty had stood before a phoenix and suffered from intense heat. She asked Jesus for help, and then watched the bird go through the typical lifecycle of a phoenix including the worm aspect. Shortly after this Betty hears a voice that she believes to be God, but I would suggest is not. First, God more than likely would not appear as a phoenix. I would like to think that if He did appear to Betty after the phoenix went away, He would have appeared 1) as Jesus, 2) been less vague 3) would have taken her fear away instantly.

All of God’s appearances in the Bible have been in a Humanoid form, or that of a cloud. Exodus God leads Israel as a pillar of cloud or fire, and when the prophets encountered Him, it was typically God appearing more or less in a man-shape.

Not to mention that when people stand before the Lord, they usually faint as though dead, not complain about how hot it is. Also, God typically has mercy and allows the person who’s “as dead” to stand and be in His presence. He takes away the fear, and He keeps people from falling dead again. Here are a couple appearances, if you really want to see more of God appearing in the Bible, just go read the Bible. I am sad to admit that I can’t name off every physical appearance of God in the Bible. The Lord does make a number of personal appearances in the Old Testament, and is revealed through Jesus in the New Testament. When He appears post-resurrection, it’s as Jesus Christ telling people specific things.


http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Exd&c=19&t=NLT#18

Exodus 19:18 - All Mount Sinai was covered with smoke because the LORD had descended on it in the form of fire. The smoke billowed into the sky like smoke from a furnace, and the whole mountain shook with a violent earthquake.


Ezekiel 1:26 – 2:1 – 2 http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Eze&c=1&t=NLT&q=Ezekiel

26 - Above the surface over their heads was what looked like a throne made of blue sapphire. And high above this throne was a figure whose appearance was like that of a man.

27 - From his waist up, he looked like gleaming amber, flickering like a fire. And from his waist down, he looked like a burning flame, shining with splendor.

28 - All around him was a glowing halo, like a rainbow shining through the clouds. This was the way the glory of the LORD appeared to me. When I saw it, I fell face down in the dust, and I heard someone's voice speaking to me.

2:1 – “Stand up, son of man," said the voice. "I want to speak with you."

2:2 - The Spirit came into me as he spoke and set me on my feet. I listened carefully to his words.

Additionally, now that Christ has been revealed, the only way we can encounter the Father is through His son, Jesus Christ. Here are a couple scriptures to consider.

http://www.blueletterbible.org/search/translationResults.cfm?Criteria=have+seen+the+Father&t=NLT&sf=5

John 5:37 - And the Father himself has also testified about me. You have never heard his voice or seen him face to face,

John 6:46 - Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only I, who was sent from God, have seen him.)

John 14:9 – "Philip, don't you even yet know who I am, even after all the time I have been with you? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking to see him?

This makes it pretty exclusive as to who has access to the Father, and that is Christ alone. The only way you and I have any right to visit the Father is because of what Christ accomplished.

So, back to the bird. Even though the phoenix seems to have some Christian parallels and was even adopted by the Catholic Church and some Christians, it is steeped in pagan origins. How fitting, since many other “Christian” symbols and holidays have similar sources.

The phoenix pops up in a number of cultures. What I hope to demonstrate here is somewhat superficial, but I think should help support that the phoenix keeps some dubious company. Also, the pagan cosmologies are somewhat confusing, perhaps deliberately, so I would like to point out in my research I ran into contradictions about certain beings. Example, the bennu bird is identified as one thing, and another. There are also sometimes multiple sun gods for one cosmology. Egypt seems to have had several sun gods, and some have connected certain gods to each other, whereas those connections have not always been there. So, with that in mind, take a look at some of the interesting connections that the phoenix shares.

Egypt is often recognized as one of the first to have a phoenix like bird.
(www.mythicalrealm.com/creatures/phoenix.html) In Egypt, the equivalent of the phoenix is recognized as the bennu. Basically, it’s a heron-esque bird that also is essentially the heart/soul of their sun god Ra. Interestingly, the bird was also considered to be a manifestation of Osiris, post-resurrection. I believe that Peter Goodgame (one of my Future Quake heroes, http://www.redmoonrising.org/) has connected Osiris to the Antichrist, as has Tom Horn in his 2012 book. I haven’t looked at it too much, as they’ve done a much more thorough job than I could hope to. So, the bird appears to be the manifestation of a being that has been identified as a possible antichrist. Also, as something to do with the sun god, Ra. For more on Osiris, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osiris. Interestingly, that links him to Ptah, which is the name of an entity that allegedly contact Billy Meier (controversial UFO figure) when he was a child. He also had contact with Semjase, whose name is oh so similar to the Semjaza in the Book of Enoch.

Next, in Hindu mythology, the phoenix equivalent is essentially the bird-man mount of Vishnu. It’s name is Garuda (oddly garuda is a species of birdman creature in China Mieville’s novels). I believe my (link to it) posting on Buddha the destroyer covered Vishnu’s connection to the Antichrist. Garuda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garuda) Garuda doesn’t seem to be equated to Vishnu, so phoenixes are again connected in some way to an antichrist figure. The fact that the Hindu phoenix flies around a character who is equitable to the Antichrist does not bode well for the true motives of any phoenix appearing to anyone.

Now, it seems as best as I can figure, Vishnu is sometimes a sun god. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vishnu. The phoenix flies him around. Ra is a sun god also, and he is linked to the phoenix. So, who’s another sun god? Apollo, That’s right, the entity identified in Revelation as the Antichrist. It appears that as a sun god, he’s equivalent to Helios as well. And, apparently, Helios had a relationship with the phoenix as well.

“According to the Greek mythology the phoenix lived in Phoenicia next to a well. At dawn, it bathed in the water of the well, and the Greek sun-god Helios stopped his chariot (the sun) in order to listen to its song.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_(mythology)

Let's not forget one more. The Phoenix Suns sports team is a link to 1) phoenixes 2) the sun. I would also submit that this affiliated also with the god America follows, which is entertainment and sports, but that might be taking things too far. At any rate, that's yet another thing linking the phoenix to the sun.

Phoenixes, though good on the surface, appear to have some connections with the one who will be revealed to be the most evil being of all.

So, am I saying that Betty was abducted by “aliens” and then brought to the Antichrist? Not necessarily. First, we know that The Antichrist is in the Abyss, until he is loosed upon the earth. More than likely, Betty would not be able to leave the Abyss once drawn into it. Second, This is more than likely “the spirit of antichrist” in the sense that he (Bible quote) has gone out into the world. This phoenix bird she saw was in all likelihood a servant of The Antichrist.

I wanted to dig into this part more deeply, because for a long time, I was thinking, “did she really meet with God?” This caused me a lot of questions, and caused me to fear criticizing her case, or the entity she stood before, or even what happens to her later. It also made me think that these were real aliens, as I knew that spirits had to obey Christ’s authority. So a Christian lady getting abducted and being helpless posed a lot of questions for me. As I am going through this book, I can definitely see the Lord showing me more and more of the truth little by little.

With this background in place, let’s continue a bit further with Betty’s abduction, and her talk with what she thinks is God.

Page 86 – 87 – Betty describes a few things after the phoenix takes a hike, then hears a voice from her right. What she hears seems to be pretty standard New Age fare. Very vague, yet spiritual sounding. You can hear this sort of thing from just about every channeler or someone who follows the New Age. Betty asked the voice what it had chosen her for.

“‘I have chosen you to show the world.’ (being)
‘Are you God?’ Betty asked with wonder in her voice. ‘Are you the Lord God?’ (betty)
‘I shall show you as your time goes by.’

Quite standard, the spirits vaguely say that an individual is special, or chosen, and then they nearly always leave it at that and say something like, “we’ll show you later.” The spirits also tend to like placing the blame on us humans, saying things like “we’re not ready,” or it’s not the right time. Anyways, back to the story, some time passes, and Betty picks up again.

“‘Are you my Lord Jesus? I would recognize my Lord Jesus.’ Oh it says – “I love you. God is love, and I love you.’ …

‘Why was I brought here?’ Betty asked again.
‘Because I have chosen you.’
‘Why won’t you tell me why and what for?’”
‘The time is not yet. It shall come. That which you have faith in, that which you trust.’

Betty defensively claimed her Christian faith: ‘It is true. I have faith in God, and I have faith in Jesus Christ. Praise God, praise God, praise God…I have faith in Jesus Christ.’

‘We know, child,’ the voice answered. ‘We know child, that you do. That is why you have been chosen. I am sending you back now. Fear not…Be of comfort. Your own fear makes you feel these things. I can release you, but you must release yourself of that fear through my son…’

‘Oh, praise God, praise God, praise God! [Crying] Thank you Lord!’”

She then thanked the voice for his son, which she assumed was God and that she was thanking Him for Jesus.

Of course Betty’s mistake here, again is not testing the spirits, that is asking them if Jesus Christ had come in the flesh. She also did not rebuke them in Christ’s name, or command them to do anything else. True to form also, the entity did not properly identify itself, nor did it give her a satisfactory answer. If you’ve ever read any channelings, you’ll recognize that this exchange looks very familiar. If you’ve never read any, don’t waste your time. If you want to read messages from a higher power, read the Bible. That’s from the highest power there is, God. He loves you, and that’s His message to you.


Something disturbing in the above exchange comes to mind from page 87.

"Betty defensively claimed her Christian faith: ‘It is true. I have faith in God, and I have faith in Jesus Christ. Praise God, praise God, praise God…I have faith in Jesus Christ.’

‘We know, child,’ the voice answered. ‘We know child, that you do. That is why you have been chosen."

The “aliens” chose her because of her faith in Jesus Christ. The question is, why? Several possibilities come to mind.

1) They knew she wouldn’t test the spirits.
2) They knew that if they could get away with abducting a Christian, that this would make it appear that even Christians are powerless against “aliens”
3) They made this up on the fly to cover their butts about Jesus’ power over them.

Lastly, this “through my son” business is disturbing as well. I am not sure what to make of it at the moment, other than I don’t believe they were talking about Christ.

To wrap up, the phoenix entity that Betty spoke with, in all likelihood was not something that was of God. There are too many occult connections with the phoenix for it to be anything but demonic. Not to mention, that God always appears in a consistent manner throughout all of the Bible. Usually in a man-like appearance, or a cloud. He also made Himself know to us through His son Jesus. God also makes His people unafraid within a very short amount of time, and tells His people very specific things. He is never vague or elusive. The being Betty met did nothing to comfort her, it made her suffer intense heat and did not take initiative to relieve her. The messages she received were also extremely vague and did nothing to glorify Jesus Christ.

Next time, Betty returns home, and her investigators debrief. There may be some lag time between posts, so stay tuned. I have a few other projects going on, and sadly this will be a little harder to work on in the next few weeks. If there’s too long of a space, I will post again.

Peace, and may Jesus Christ come into your life if He’s not already part of it.

Goodness Gracious, Great Birds of Fire: Betty Andreasson's Journey into Mystery

Before we start, I was going to mention the UFO videos for the Temple Mount. At this point, it's too early to tell what it is or is not, but the timing is "coincidental," is it not? Unrest in Egypt, and the Muslim world. At this point, I feel that the Lord wants me to wait before digging into this too much, but off the cuff, this is what I think.

My theories:

1) It's just a good, run of the mill special effects hoax. By multiple people from different angles.
2) It's a hologram/"real" physical phenomena projected by terrestrial parties unknown.
3) It's just a run of the mill demonic UFO prank.

I would hesitate to guess that this is of God, though it is tempting. But Christ Himself said that He Himself was coming, not as an orb of light. And that many would say, Christ is here, or there, but really they would not actually be Him. So, suffice it to say, I think this thing is not of God but that is my opinion. When God makes Himself known to us again, it will be through His Son, Jesus and will be alot less mysterious than this. Nevertheless, we must be watchful and ready for Jesus to return at ANY time.

OK, now as Derek and Sharon Gilbert always say, "Get out your tin foil hats."

Now, back to Betty Andreasson. I've been reading deeper into her case, and finally finished the abduction as it was documented, and there is some clear cut demonic stuff coming up. Then there's also a wrap up of the case, chock full of UFO propaganda, then some assorted treats here and there. Almost done with the book though, and we'll see where God leads me.

Page 75 - Betty has just finished describing a city in this place of green atmosphere. Here she saw an odd shaped pyramid with a hermaphroditic head upon it, which was Egyptian in nature. Betty drew a picture of crystals that were floating in the air. She described (presumably) a futuristic city in the distance. For several pages, she just described various things she saw or felt, many of which are interesting, but not that important.

Page 77 - 80 - Betty is taken through the crystals in some way, and into the presence of a gigantic bird. Betty became extremely hot as she got close to the bird. She complained about the heat, and then they had to stop her hypnosis. They debriefed her, and Betty elaborated on some things.

One, which I might have brought up before, is that the greys wore black hoods. Many people who have sleep paralysis report black hooded beings. Whether these are related, it's difficult to say.

Second, Betty told the investigators that she thought she had been taken out of the earth, but then also felt that she was INSIDE the earth. Now, did she mean a cavern inside the earth? Or did she mean that the earth was hollow? (see my "Hell" posting as well) Absurd as it is, many believe the earth is hollow. Jim Wilhelmson (sp?) has a great theory and rationale for it. I haven't checked out his scripture references, but it's interesting. (Before getting too deep into his stuff, please do your scripture homework. Right or wrong, my own feeling on him is that he goes into some weird territory. Maybe that's where God wants him, I don't know.)

Edgar Rice Burruoghs has something like six books that take place at the Earth's Core, in the land of Pellucidar. Many occult beliefs claim the earth is hollow. I believe the Nazis were on of these, and there are likely others as well. Some Native Americans believe they entered this present world through a cavern. Where were they before?

The Bible does say there are people under the earth, but whether this means in the center, or merely in underground lairs is debatable. The point is, taking God's word literally, there are people UNDER the earth.

Phillipians 2:10

http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Phl&c=2&t=NLT#10

Revelation 5

http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Rev&c=5&t=NLT#1 (two references)


My theory is that they were referring prophetically to a time when people could make bases under the earth, but probably also meant the fallen angels that were chained under the earth.

So whether Betty was taken to an underground bunker, to the center of the earth or something in between, it's not out of the realm of what I think God's word clearly says.

Chapter 6

Page 83 - 85 - Betty, once again hypnotized, finds herself before this giant bird. Her description seems similar to an average bald eagle, and behind it is a very white, bright light. The bird is apparently alive, of this, Betty is absolutely sure.

An interesting note, Betty also described that there were "gold specks" flying around. This is an interesting note, because any who have heard Derek Gilbert talk about dominionism have heard him mention this phenomena before. Todd Bentley (and similar false teachers) have this phenomena occuring when they have their spiritual "shows" going on. Bentley (I believe) is reportedly in constant contact with angels, and they allegedly materialize things in his services. There is also a mention of people getting gold teeth and what not. Whether that's pure charlatanism on Bentley's part, or a real supernatural "false sign"is again debatable. Just a curious note.

Then, finally...Betty does the right thing.

"Betty Cried out for help and writhed in agony.

Oh, Lord Jesus, I'm hot. Help me. oh...I'm so hot!...

At this point Betty began to scream in pain.

Take me out of it!"

After this, her hands go numb, and her hands and feet vibrate. In hypnosis, she relaxed and she began to cool down, though her hands hurt. Then she noticed that there was a small fire in front of her. The bird apparently had been consumed by the fire!

Now, the first time I had read this, I was confused. After hearing Joe Jordan, and other state that abductions can be stopped in the name of Jesus Christ, they typically stopped immediately, and tthe person awoke, unharmed in their beds. This did not seem to be the case with Betty. If she asked Jesus for help, why did she not return? Were Joe Jordan and others wrong?

But then as I've thought about it, prayed about, and asked God for wisdom, a few things come to mind. First, Betty was suffering due to tremendous heat, presumably originating from the large bird. She asked Jesus for help, and immediately it seems that she was relieved from the heat, and the bird was presumably consumed by fire. She was still undergoing some discomfort, but she was delivered from that which she needed to be saved from. Her abduction did not stop, but this bird entity was more or less disintegrated. Very likely this bird was an illusion, or an alternate form for a demon/fallen angel.

Second. Betty was returned to her home, not long after this. But first, she had to travel back the way she had come. Perhaps this abduction could not be stopped because she had physically been brought elsewhere. For them to bring her back, and stop the abduction, they would have had to physically bring her back.

Third, Betty's relationship with Christ at this point was very likely blocked by sin. Her sin being that she more or less willingly went along with these beings, when she should have tested the spirits. It is also possible that they had opened her third eye, and potentially used reiki on her thus separating her further from God. Until these were repented of, and until she asked Christ to close those doors, she was potentially separated from God's power by her unconfessed sin. It is also possible she had other sin in her life, and this also prevented her from counting on Christ's authority.

See Acts 8:21 - 23. This scripture was pointed out I believe by Russ Dizdar as an indicator for unanswered prayer. If you're not right with God, your prayers MAY not get answered.

http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Act&c=8&v=1&t=NLT#comm/21

Fourth, she asked Jesus for help. She did not rebuke these entities in His name. She did not specifically ask Jesus for anything other than (seemingly) to do something about the discomfort. Unfortunately, she didn't have sense enough (not that I blame her entirely, she had been greatly deceived and bedazzled) to see that this worked, why not try to ask/rely on Jesus for complete deliverance from this episode?

To wrap things up:

I would have to honestly say that the modern church has not equipped most of us for the realities of spirtual warfare. My early Christian walk would have found me perhaps trying to cast them out in Christ's name, but I wasn't quite up on the exact way to do it. Then, after several years in Churches, some occult interests and little spiritual warfare experience, I would have been hard pressed to think straight.

Five years ago, I may have gone along just as Betty had, and I read my Bible regularly, ye thad little clue of the authority I had in Jesus Christ. Apart from Him, there is none, but having been identified with His death and resurrection, we get to partake of His authority to destroy the works of the devil.

If you are suffering from abduction experiences, you can make them stop by accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior, and getting into a right relationship with Him. Then, when the beings come, ask Christ for help, and if you can talk (or think), tell (or think) them to leave in the name of Jesus Christ. Also read Ephesians 6:12, and make sure you have confessed all sin to God and asked forgiveness. Don't get taken along for a ride like Betty did.

Next time: What happend to the bird? Who/what was the bird? What happened to Betty next?

Welcome to my underground lair: Continuing Betty Andreasson's Journey

Up to this point Betty Andreasson has been taken onto what she and her investigators believe to be a spacecraft from another world by what they assume are alien beings. I of course believe that they are demonic/Satanic beings of some sort, though at this point it's too early to speculate precisely whether they are fallen angels, or demonic spirits. Yes there is a difference, go to LA Marzulli's blog and ask about it and you will get plenty of good responses. Betty was taken by these beings and subjected to a painful procedure that seemed to focus on her reproductive organs. There, these beings discovered that Betty had had a hysterectomy and apparently they weren't exactly pleased with this, but after discovering this, Betty still had much to tell her interviewers.


Page 46 -50 - There's a description and some emphasis on the tools that were used in her procedure. Page 50 her abductors seem to have a discussion, and Betty learns that they now want to measure her for procreation. The book isn't clear to me. It seems they had already examined her with needles, and had to subject her to it again because she "was missing parts" due to her hysterectomy. At any rate, Betty goes through the examination apparently twice.

Page 55 - As another phase of her abduction is under way, Betty is apparently distressed. Quazgaa waves his hands over her and she becomes more relaxed. To me, this seems similar with reiki. I am not sure, but since I do believe reiki is linked to demonic activity (find Lynn Dickie's testimony on itunes, or in the Revelations Radio archives) so it wouldn't be a surprise if she did undergo reiki at the hands of Quazgaa. If this is true, it could have had a horrible effect on Betty's Christian walk and would have also likely put her under demonic attachment at the very least.

Page 56 - Betty asks "Oh what is this about, Jesus?" She asked this as she was led back to the room to get dressed. I mention it because she mentions Jesus. I don't know what this means exaclty, other than it could be indicative of her relationship with Jesus. What does it tell us? I have no idea what was in Betty's heart or what her walk with Jesus was, but I would like to think that a Spirit filled Christian would start trying to cast these things out, or asking Jesus for help rather than trying to worry what it was about. As LA Marzulli always says: "Rebuke first, and ask questions later."

Chapter 5 finds Betty no longer in the UFO, but instead she has found her way into a tunnel or an underground type of place. The details are quite interesting, so I encourage you to check the book out for yourself.

Page 57 - 58 - Her investigators are still under the spell of the story it seems. They really believe this is an alien thing from outerspace. They hound her for details, which Betty provides. Just an interesting not about the possible motives of her investigators.

Page 59 - Inside the tunnel/underground lair, The beings lead Betty to some sort of bizarre chair, and they ask her, and then suggest for her to sit. Fowler states that they gave her an illusion of freewill in the matter. Fowler also points out that her willpower was being dominated by the beings. While Fowler believes that her ability to choose was limited, I agree to a certain extent, but I also believe that she could have resisted or refused to go along. To retierate what I've said in previous posts, If she had sincerely asked Jesus for help, or rebuked the being in the name of Christ, she would have been safe. I don't want to be too hard on Betty, as by this point her mind was under severe stress and she was ill prepared to stary with.

Page 65 - I would also like to point out at this point Betty is apparently underground and traveling via some sort of weird rail-tram system. The beings don't seem to be using the system to travel, but they are there when Betty is done riding the tram. When she see them again they now have black hoods on that cover their face. This is interesting because some people claim to be abducted by hooded beings. I'm not sure if this is what they mean, but it's interesting.

68 - 72 - Betty passes through a looking glass sort of thing, and enters a chamber filled with red light, here she sees some sort of monkey like beings that are totally unlike the "aliens" that abducted her. They creep her out, and apparently the aliens don't care for them either as they are wearing black hood to cover their faces. I don't have any real opinion on them at the minute, other than they may be illusory, or perhaps other forms of demon. Really there's no telling. Betty continues through this chamber and they enter into a chamber with green light and the beings take their hoods off.

Page 74 - As Betty moves along the track through this bizarre underground place, she sees buildings, one of which is a pyramid with white sides. It's also slightly misshapen and has a sphinx-like head on top of it. It's interesting that there's an Egyptian theme, but I don't put too much stock into it.

Betty's abduction, as strange as it was to start with, departed from the usual alien abduction when she began to tell about the underground tunnel. Many abductees to talk about being taken to an underground facility, or even into the ocean. There are some interesting theories out there about the demonic beings and fallen angels being imprisoned in the sea. This may be plausible, but I have yet to research it thoroughly. In any event, this underground place is common to many abductions, but who operates them? Are they human bases? Are they run by the demonic beings? Is it both? Is it all an illusion designed to deceive Betty and the investigators?

Betty's already strange experience becomes even more so as she encounters more beings that defy typical abductions, and also challenge my theory about the demonic angle. The one thing that can be said about Betty's experience as an abductee is that each experience is more strange than the last.

Probing Deeper: Dissecting the Betty Andreasson Case

So having left off in the 20's pagewise, let's pick up where we left off with Ms. Andreasson.

I should retract my statement in the previous post about the similarity to Ezekiel's wheel (which was sort of quoted over at ancientastronaut.com). It turns out that this is not the case, as Ezekiel describes living beings (Seraphim) and the throne of the LORD. On page 25 of the "Andreasson Affair", Betty illustrated what she saw in the blue book (coincidence that there was an air force project of the same name?) because she saw this in the bottom of the UFO. She saw 3 or 4 pin like things in the bottom of the UFO that rotated around. No idea what it is, except that it doesn't really correspond with anything in the book of Ezekiel as I had previously thought.

So, moving on into new material. Betty continues to experience a typical "alien abduction." There are differences of course, but for the most part it's quite a typical scenario. I'll note where things turn weird(er).

Page 32 - It should be noted again that everything Betty recalled, and that was written in the "Andreasson Affair", was the result of a hypnotic trance. In other words, she was in an altered state of conciousness. I had a theory, perhaps Betty only briefy encountered the beings, and then later underwent hypnosis. In her altered state, perhaps she tapped into the second heaven/akashic records and was made to believe that she had experienced all of this abduction stuff. Or, perhaps she really did experience it. Either way, we probably won't know for sure, but this is just something to consider. Her trance may have led her to false experiences. Continuing on, presuming that she really did experience this.

Page 36 - Betty is forced into a changing room where a white gown is hovering. She changes into the white gown and a being escorts her out. Obviously the white is reminiscent of hospital attire, but to me, some symbolism jumped out. The white gown is perhaps a mockery of the white robes that believers in Christ will wear one day. The difference being that ours will not make us feel shame as Betty's did.

Page 37 - As soon as Betty leaves the room, the following happens.

"Outside the changing room, the entities awaited Betty. She became fearful and prayed frantically (Fowler exaggerates a bit, IMO) for help. 'Ah,' she thought to herself, 'What is all this about? What are they going to do to me?...Oh, Jesus be with me!'

The entity nearest the door seemed to sense Betty's fear:

When I said that, the leader glanced at me quickly - sort of surprised or stunned. I guess he was reading what my thoughts were, and he seemed to move a little slower. I guess he saw that I was wondering what this was all about, 'cause he said 'you'll be all right. Follow us. Please get in back of me again.' He seemed a little concerned, because he kept looking back checking to see if I was getting in back."

!!!

WOW, talk about an elephant in the room! At the moment she said/thought "Jesus" the "alien" being stopped in his track! There was a comment to last week's post that said something to the effect of aliens not knowing who Jesus was. Then why was this "alien" so stunned at the name of Jesus? Why do other "aliens" claim that they made Jesus? Or why do they just demote Him to being a great teacher? This is because "aliens" as we earthmen have experienced them thus far are nothing but the same old demoninc beings who've been harrassing us for thousands of years. In my opinion, this "alien's" reaction proves it.

Did she ask Jesus for help? This may be just semantics, but to be clear, she did not ask Jesus for help, as such. "Oh, Jesus be with me" is a far cry from either testing the spirits (1 John 4:1 - 3) or rebuking them. It is also not quite the same as crying to Jesus for help. I have confidence that if she had ordered them in the name of Jesus Christ to stop, they would have. Or if she had whole heartedly cried out, "Jesus help me!" she would have been delivered. This is my opinion, but I get the feeling that Betty intended to keep going and merely was saying this halfheartedly, and sort of in the vein that folks say "God help us" but really don't mean it as a an actual prayer.

In any event, Betty stopped this creature in his tracks by her words, even without a clear request for help or order for them to stop. "The leader glanced at me quickly - sort of surprised or stunned." He was no doubt stunned! He had already gotten her this far, for her to suddenly wake up and realize the source of her authority over the aliens, no doubt put him into a panic. Betty thought he was noticing that she wondered what what was going on, but he was probably watching her to make sure she didn't make any more trouble. He even had to ask for her to follow him again, the power of Jesus seems to have freed her from the "alien's" and he had to ask her to follow again. He needed her to give him the right (rite?) to control things again.

In any event, Chapter 3 ends, and she winds up in the examination room at the start of Chapter 4.

Page 42 - The "aliens" are now dressed in a sort of white color. Mockery again of the white in the Bible? The beings begin probing Betty (that term has taken on a humorouse edge these days, but I assure you Betty's probing was no laughing matter.) and she feels pain. A being put his hand on her forehead and said that he was "awakening" something. This is glossed over in the book, but as I read this, I wondered if perhaps if the being had opened her "third eye" which is of course a New Age term. If you want yours opened, please do not do it. The standard exam continues uncovering that Betty has had a hysterectomy, and that the beings had REMOVED a nasal implant. This implies that Betty has been abducted before.

Page 44 - 45 - This seems to be something specific to Betty's case. The beings wanted to measure Betty for light. Another detail specific to Betty, near as I can see, is that the "aliens" use a wand-like device. Quazgaa measures her for light and says something which on the surface is unusual, but when taken in light of a spiritual, and specifically Christian light (sorry, no pun intended) it makes some sense. (Emphasis mine)

"'You have not understood the word that you have,' Quazgaa told her. 'You've misunderstood some places....There are spots from it...You are not completely filled with the light.'"

Betty argues that she is filled with the light, but Quzgaa insists on measuring her. They argue back and forth, and Quazgaa tells her she has "spots" again and Betty says "I'm in complete control...control."

This is my interpretation of the above. Quazgaa seems to know that Betty should have rebuked him and called to Jesus for help and leaned on His authority to deliver her. This is what I think he means by her not being filled with the light. My thoughts are that her relationship with Christ is not right at the moment, OR that she didn't fully understand the truth that God has given her (and us) in the Bible. She didn't fully understand the word of God and hadn't filled herself with it. It seems that Quazgaa chided her for this.

Page 45 - Showcases the bias of the investigators, how they automatically assume this abduction was perpetrated by beings from another planet, when there was no evidence or even allusion that such was true. They were more interested in the doodads, and the inside of the spaceship and were blinded by their lust for knolwedge.

Page 46 - Betty says at this point that she's under control. It seems to be that she was trying to dissociate herself from the event in the abduction during hypnosis. I had initially supected that she had said this during the abduction, but perhaps this idea of her being in control is important. Perhaps not.


It seems that so far this abduction has much to do with Betty's relationship with Jesus, as well as how the beings are affected by that as well. It's not just her relationship with Christ, but also her knowledge of the Bible that seem to have been of interest to Quazgaa. Unfortunately this allowed Quazgaa much freedom to do his thing. We also don't know if Betty or anyone else had been into occult activity, so it's not easy to see why she underwent this. Still, Quazgaa knew he could have his way because my theory is that Betty was not filled with Christ, His Spirit, His word and she misunderstood and failed to apply His word. I do not know this for sure, I don't know what was going on in Betty's heart, but it's the only thing i can think of that would allow the devil to have this much power over her through this experience. And if Quazgaa opened her third eye here as well, that could have had devastating consequences if she failed to ask Jesus to get rid of that.

That's where we'll leave it for today. Things continue to grow weirder for Betty as her story continues. My theory will also be greatly challenged as well, so please stay tuned.
