As I mentioned in part two, after considerable resistance, and undergoing a great deal of personal trauma, which began to interrupt his life shortly after the Christmas of 1985, American sci-fi writer, Whitley Strieber, began to suspect that his mysterious intruders might possibly be demons, and not the benign beings that he had initially supposed. In his successful 1988 book "Communion: A True Story", Mr. Strieber relates his struggle with coming to terms with the reality of his situation: ----- Begin Quote ----- "There are worse things than death, I suspected. And I was beginning to get the distinct impression that one of them had taken an interest in me. So far the word demon had never been spoken among the scientists and doctors who were working with me. And why should it have been? We were beyond such things. We were a group of atheists and agnostics, far too sophisticated to be concerned with such archaic ideas as demons and angels . . . Alone at night I worried about the legendary cunning of demons . . . At the very least, I was going stark, raving mad." ----- End Quote ----- In the September 1993 edition of the Mutual UFO Network, (or MUFON), Journal, Strieber also states: ----- Begin Quote ----- "I've come away from this experience convinced of one thing: if there aren't demons out there, there might as well be, because these guys are indistinguishable from demons. Indistinguishable. To see them, to look into their eyes, is to be less - forever . . ." ----- End Quote ----- Four years later, in "Transformation: The Breakthrough", his 1997 follow-up book to "Communion", which also dealt with his alleged "visitors", Strieber also remarks: ----- Begin Quote ----- "I wondered if I might not be in the grip of demons, if they were not making me suffer for their own purposes, or simply for their enjoyment . . . Whatever was there seemed so monstrously ugly, so filthy and dark and sinister. Of course they were demons. They had to be. And they were here and I couldn't get away." ----- End Quote ----- Ironically, or perhaps tragically, in spite of the fact that Strieber has a sense of what and who these creatures really are; and in spite of the fact that they have filled his life with so much fear and torment, and abused him so much, and have terrorized his family as well; for some strange reason, he still refuses to acknowledge their true evil nature; and insists that these creatures are benign, and that they truly care about his well-being. Baptist preacher and television evangelist, John F. Ankerberg, mentions this mystifying fact in his 1992 book, "The Facts On UFOs And Other Supernatural Phenomena". Concerning Strieber, Ankerberg tells us: ----- Begin Quote ----- "These entities are clever enough to make Streiber think they care about him. Yet his torment by them never ceases. Whatever his relationship to the entities, and he increasingly concludes that their involvement with him is something 'good,' he also remains terrified of them and uncertain as to what they are." ----- End Quote ----- I'm not a psychologist by any means, but I can only conclude that Whitley Strieber is in some kind of state of denial. As you will see later, this mental state seems to be shared by other "alien abductees" as well who likewise "sacrificially" choose to endure all manner of atrocities and abuse at the hands of their abductors; because, ultimately, they believe that it is for their own good; and that in the end, it will serve some noble purpose for all of humanity as well. As we saw in part five, G. H. Pember recognized the deception of these entities, and their ability to manipulate perception when he wrote: ----- Begin Quote ----- "[The occultist] is brought into intelligent communication with the spirits of the air, and can receive any knowledge which they possess, or any false impression they choose to impart . . . the demons seem permitted to do various wonders at their request." ----- End Quote ----- Over and over again, we have seen a connection being made between alien and UFO encounters, and demons and the occult. What I find particularly interesting, is that this link is not just being made by people who possess a strong religious background. We have seen some individuals who possess a very secular, non-religious background, arrive at the very same conclusions regarding these creatures. To me, this speaks volumes. It also helps to refute the common misconception that modern Christians alone are responsible for casting a negative shadow over alien and UFO experiences. This simply is not true. As we have already seen, these beings apparently possess the ability to alter our surroundings. According to some writers, and some people who have had encounters with these entities, they can change their own appearance, in order to conform to our particular belief system and personal expectations. They may appear as Jesus, or Mary, to one person; as Mohammad to another; as Buddha to someone else; or perhaps as a glowing orb of light to a New Ager; or as a bright metallic disc to someone who may have that particular expectation. One thing is for certain: In most cases, they probably want to show us humans their "good" side; so they will rarely reveal their true nature to us. As I noted earlier, Satan's game is only to deceive us, so he will appear as something beautiful and wonderful which will dazzle the eye. To reiterate a verse I shared in part four, the Apostle Paul tells us: "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." 2 Corinthians 11:14, KJV As I point out in my article "Satan: Origin, Purpose And Future", prior to his fall from Grace, Satan was indeed a very beautiful creature to behold. He was a Being of Light; but then, sadly, sin and iniquity entered into his heart as a result of his pride, and he became corrupted. The Bible tells us: "Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee." Ezekiel 28:12-17, KJV Other scientists, researchers and writers have arrived at the same conclusion; that is, that these beings will deceive us; and will even transform themselves to appear before us as we want and expect them to appear, if it helps them to achieve their objectives. The alleged ability of these creatures to change their appearance, and to restructure matter, is known scientifically as transmogrification. In an article entitled "UFOs - Is Science Fiction Coming True?", which appeared in the August 1977 Vol 1 No 2 edition of SCP Journal, which is published by Spiritual Counterfeits Project, Inc., Dr. Curt Wagner Ph.D. discusses transmogrification and other methods used by demons, in order to control humankind. He states: ----- Begin Quote ----- "Demons, as fallen angels, apparently retain great powers, such as the manipulation and restructuring of matter, as well as the ability to influence or control human consciousness and experience through classic possession by direct psychic implantation of a set of experiences." ----- End Quote ----- Jeff Snyder, SysOp - Armageddon BBS Visit us at endtimeprophecy.org port 23 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your Download Center 4 Mac BBS Software & Christian Files.
