Does the UFO Abduction Phenomenon Fulfill Revelation 13?

In 2 Thessalonians 2, Paul says that before the world can end, something he calls "The Lawless One" must make an appearance on Earth. Paul's exact words:

1 We ask you, brothers, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling with him,
2 not to be shaken out of your minds suddenly, or to be alarmed either by a "spirit," or by an oral statement, or by a letter allegedly from us to the effect that the day of the Lord is at hand.
3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For unless the apostasy comes first and the lawless one is revealed, the one doomed to perdition,
4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god and object of worship, so as to seat himself in the temple of God, claiming that he is a god[, then the world can not end] --
5 do you not recall that while I was still with you I told you these things?
6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his time. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-6.

The words in brackets were added by me, but the translators would agree that they complete the intended meaning of the sentence.

In a previous article in this blog (2/27/10, "Is It Possible That 'the End Is Near'?," I suggest that the other end-of-time indicators have been fulfilled...

(1) The re-establishment of Israel in 1948 = "the leafing of the fig tree," Matthew 24:30-33.

(2) The Pro-Choice Movement = "[women who SHOULD BE] pregnant" and "[mother who SHOULD BE] nursing" as to whom Jesus threatens "woe." Matthew 24:19.

(3) The U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing sodomy, and gay marriage laws = "being like Sodom in those days," Luke 17:28-30.

(4) The Israeli nuclear program, with nuclear missile silos in Judea = "the abominable destructive thing on holy ground," which should induce those in Judea to "flee to the mountains." Matthew 24:15-16.

(5) The feminization of the clergy and the emptying of churches worldwide = Paul's "apostasy," or "great falling away." 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3.

So, question: Is Paul's prediction of the coming of the "lawless one," frequently associated with the deeply bizaree predictions of Revelation 13, coming true?

I say yes.

For now, I'll just speculate about Revelation 13:1...

1 Then I saw a beast come out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads; on its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads blasphemous name (s). Revelation 13:1.

Beginning in 1961, thousands of people began to make seemingly absurd reports of abductions onto UFOs, physical examinations, and anal and frontal rapes by aliens abducting them. In 1987, author Whitley Strieber published his break-all-records bestseller, "Communion," describing his abduction phenomenon experiences.

In that book, Strieber confesses that he didn't name his book "Comminion" -- his abductors did!

Elsewhere in this blog, I think in the ghost photo articles, I suggest that ghosts and demons in our environment of the result of a process I call "tulpaization." Intense human concentration -- such as occurs in prayer, or when people are committing attention-capturing sins -- generates these things the Tibetan Buddhists call "tulpas." Tulpas are intended by God to be the vehicles of prayer to God and of angels answering prayers. So-called "orbs" are the basic form of those vehicles.

However, if the concentration was morally ambiguous, the "orb" comes as a morally-ambiguous "ghost," and if the concentration was evil in nature, a demon occupies the "orb," and it is perceived as a malevolent ghost, or demonic presence -- or "alien."

In my opinion, the Abduction Phenomenon "aliens" are just demons occupying tulpas generated by ambient mass-evil-thinking in our society, occurring during mass sinful self-indulgence in the course of mass use of illegal drugs and in the course of mass use of pornography.

A little bit of objective proof of my admittedly bizarre contention...

Here is mystic Rudolph Steiner's early 20th century bust of one of the presiding demons, Ahriman, which he saw in the ccourse of transcendental meditation...

And now compare that guy with Strieber's Abductor portrait, on the cover of his book...

Do you see those wrinkled corneas on Ahriman's eyes, in Steiner's bust? Strieber says that as his Abductor's eyes closed, the corneas wrinkled.

Question: How did Steiner, early in the 20th century, get it right?

In any event, let's see if we can connect the cover of Strieber's knock-down drag-out worldwide best seller "Communion" with Revelation 13:1...

1 Then I saw a beast come out of the sea...

Scripture speaks at two levels, the "plaintext," or "literal," level; and the "typological" or "symbolic" level.

PLAINTEXT MEANING: The ancients of Judaism and Chistianity believe that outer space was filled with water, probably to explain rain. Proof: Genesis 1:6, where a "dome" or "firmament," separates the waters below the earth from the waters above it; 2 Peter 3:5, where it is said that the Earth was created out of water, "in" or "between" the waters -- the water above the Earth, and the water under the Earth.

An ancient one would therefore have claimed that UFOs seeming to come "from space" had come "out of the [upper] sea."

TYPOLOGICAL MEANING: In Bible typology, sea water symbolizes the "sea of damnable souls." If the Abduction Phenomenon creatures are demonic tulpas generated by mass sin, then the Abduction Phenomenon being is a beast "come out of the sea" -- a tulpa out of the sin of sinners.

...with ten horns...

PLAINTEXT MEANING AND TYPOLOGICAL MEANING: "Ten" is the type, or symbol, meaning "very much."

"Horn" is the type, or symbol, meaning "power."

So, John is saying, here, that the Abduction Phenomenon would seems to have "much power."

Lo and behold, Abduction Phenomenon abductees uniformly agree that their captors had total power over them (although there are reports that prayer disables the Abduction Phenomenon beings).

...and seven heads;...

PLAINTEXT MEANING AND TYPOLOGICAL MEANING: "Seven" is the Biblical type, or symbol, meaning "perfected," "completed," "perfectly," "completely," or "completely everywhere."

When Striber's book was first published, all over the world bookstore racks looked like this...Do you get the idea? "Heads completely everywhere," right?

...on its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads blasphemous name (s).

PLAINTEXT MEANING: Every cover of Strieber's first book on the Abduction Phenomenon features the word "Communion" literally "on" each head.

Assuming that that thing on the cover is, indeed, a demon, and assuming that they called Striber's book "Communion" to infer that people's "Communion" out to be a kidnapping, raping demon, not the Eucharist at church, that would, indeed, make "Communion" on the demon's head a "blasphemous name" literally "on" its heads.

TYPOLOGICAL MEANING: "Ten diadems" or "crowns": "very much king" -- culturally dominating?

Will Earth Be Swallowed-Up by an IMBH Soon?

Hi, friends. My first post, here, will be about the thing in Switzerland which everybody seems to have forgotten -- the Large Hadron Collider.

I had some exposure to particle physics in college. (I was interested in nuclear weapon design and construction, believe it or not. The "man on the street" really has no idea how clever nuclear weapons are, in their design. Thank God nuclear weapon design and maintenance is complex, by the way.) In part because of that exposure, I was very interested when, in the course of construction of the Large Hadron Collider experiment in Switzerland, two LHC employees filed a lawsuit in Hawaii to stop the thing from operating. They said that there is a chance that the experiment could destroy the world. The employees lost -- the judge went with the vast majority of the scientists on the project, who say, "No danger."

But, the two employees were on to something, and the federal judge was wrong. Here's why...

The LHC is really akin to a giant Reagan Administration Star Wars weapon. It is two particle beams, each firing at the other extraordinarily-high-energy protons, travelling at extremely close to the speed of light.

These invisible beams are so much like beams envisioned in the Star Wars space weapon program that if you were to try to walk through the beams during operation, they would probably cut you in half.

When these two beams of protons are aimed at each other, so that they crash head-on, particles in the beams will smack together with such intensity that there is a risk, according to the people who filed the Hawaiian lawsuit, that they will form what is referred to as a "mini black hole." The mini black hole will smack into the side of the LHC, absorb molecules there, lose its momentum, be attracted by Earth's gravity, and drill down to the center of the Earth, where the Earth's gravity will force-feed the Earth to the mini black hole, until we are all sucked-in and destroyed.

Scientists responding to the lawsuit to prevent a federal shutdown responded, "Not so! Not so! We believe that something called 'Hawking Radiation' will be emitted by such mini black holes, even if they do form, causing them to evaporate in a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a second. We can prove that that is the case -- high energy protons left over from supernovas in space smash into Earth's atmosphere all of the time -- and we're still here, right? Where are the mini black holes? Clearly, any mini black holes that were formed in the process evaporated!"

At this point I have to comment on a fundamental error in the scientists' discussions.

Black holes are everywhere in Western literature, now. "Black hole" this and "black hole" that. The media talk about black holes the same way the media talked about dinosaurs as our culture became aware of them, decades ago.

Ironically, in a critical technical sense -- and I swear that this is so -- BLACK HOLES DON'T EXIST. THEY NEVER HAVE EXISTED. THEY NEVER WILL EXIST.

A few of the amateur astronomers reading this are saying, with lip-quivering anger, "B-b-b-b-but how can you say that???!!! Th-th-th-there are NASA photos on-line showing jets of particles in space being emitted from b-b-b-b-black h-h-h-h-holes."

But any well-thought-out particle physicists reading this already know what my response will be.

Relativistic time dilation.

As gravity at a particular point in space and time gets bigger, time itself slows down.

As a black hole begins to form, an invisible shell of slowed-down time begins to form around it called the "event horizon." (This is where the name of that really bad sci-fi movie that my kids love so much came from.) The forming black hole's forming event horizon, itself, slows-down the formation of the black hole, itself! The black hole begins to form slower and slo-o-o-o-ower and slo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ower.

The effect of the event horizon is "asymptotic." Like a kid in the school yard 40 inches from the wall of the school, who always walks exactly, precisely half of the remaining distance to the wall with each step, the black hole never, ever -- in the history of the Universe -- quite finishes forming, just as the kid never quite reaches the school wall.

So, those things which NASA calls "black holes" emitting jets in their space photos...

http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap080110.html

...are not really "black holes," because black holes slow down time at their own location as they form, always asymptotically interrupting their own formation!

That's good news, right?

Wrong. It's very, very, very bad news.

What it means is that black holes in formation -- what I call "incipient black holes" -- can never evaporate from "Hawking Radiation" because "Hawking Radiation," even if it occurs at all before a black hole achieves "black hole-ness," will, having been slowed down asymptotically by the black hole's own event horizon, take literally forever to evaporate the object.

So, if the Large Hadron Collider accidentally creates an 'Incipient Mini Black Hole," or IMBH for short, it will never evaporate.

Now, "Incipient Black Holes" or IBH's, and "Incipient Mini Black Holes," or IMBH's, are just as dangerous as the theoretical-but-really-non-existent black holes.

Again, look at the power and destruction being wrought by that thing in the NASA photo...

http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap080110.html

It's not a black hole, but an IBH.

Why? What happens?

As the IBH or IMBH gets close to matter to absorb with its giant gravity, it smashes the matter and begins to pull the smashed bits into an orbit around itself called an "accretion disk"...

http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap090419.html

As the ripping-apart occurs, the object, including its accretion disk, gets heavier and heavier and heavier. As it absorbs greater and greater quantities of ripped-up matter towards itself, more and more energy, with extreme power able to escape the giant gravitational field just above the event horizon, begins to be fired-off at the north and south poles of the accretion disk.

Voila...IBH's and IMBH's absorbing matter into their accretion disks all shoot out their own extremely high energy, extremely destructive particle beams.

An IMBH, if one forms in the LHC, will give rise to the following effects...

As the two particle beams collide, two protons, out of hundreds of billions, happen to collide so perfectly head-on that they begin forming an IMBH. Since the particle collision wasn't "perfectly perfect," the IMBH flies up at, say, 50% of the speed of light, and slams into the ceiling of the LHC tunnel.

Foom! The IMBH instantly begins absorbing LHC tunnel ceiling molecules, and ripping them apart. A powerful explosion results, blowing a hole through in the ceiling.

Unfortunately, increased mass in the IMBH structure from absorption of thousands of protons and neutrons from the LHC ceiling, and something called the net vector of the Brownian motion imparted to the IMBH by absorbed molecules, has slowed its escape to a mere 5,000 mph -- insufficient escape velocity to let the thing escape Earth's gravity.

So, it flies up to, say, 400 miles up, and then it begins to fall back toward the Earth.

The trajectory of the flight-up-and-flight-down sends the IMBH crashing into the Pacific, where, ironically, the intense thermonuclear fire of a hydrogen bomb begins erupting like a volcano out of the water of the Pacific Ocean, as the IMBH drills downward, deeper, deeper, deeper into the water, and then into the Earth's crust beneath the water, faster and faster toward the center of the Earth, 4,000 miles below.

The world watches with trembling as televisions follow-up reports of a fearful explosion at the LHC in Cern, Switzerland with reports on a "super volcano" near no known islands on the surface of the Pacific.

Then, suddenly, fo-o-o-o-o-o-op-p-p-p! -- the volcano stops.

And the entire world sighs with relief.

Except a few scientists at Cern, who have a suspicion...

Is an IMBH so deep under the ocean and under the Earth's crust now that the explosive power in the object's still-tiny accretion disk can't make it to the surface?

Yep!

So, as the weeks pass, seismographs around the world begin recording a new, completely unprecedented variety of rumbling.

The IMBH is no longer as "mini" as it used to be. The object is now in the gravitational center of the Earth. The Earth's own gravity is force-feeding the Earth itself to the accretion disk. As the gravity of the IMBH structure grows, the "particle beam" coming out of the IMBH's north and south poles blasts with a mightier and mightier blast, cutting a cavern in the center of the Earth made of super-heavy plasma which is quickly sucked-into the accretion disk. As the new rumbling begins to be detected on the surface, the cavern is 100 miles wide.

A few weeks later, the plasmic inferno breaks through the Earth's crust. Two days later, the Earth collapses into the accretion disk, and the end of our time on Earth has come.

As Hawaii begins falling toward the accretion disk, the federal judge who decided the case things, "Shucks! I guessed wrong!"

So, I vote, "Shut down the Collider. It's not worth the risk."
