Is this a deliberate effort by church officials to “warm up” the laity to ET disclosure? Are official church publications on the subject an attempt to soften the blow before disclosure arrives, in order to help the faithful retain their orthodoxy in light of unprecedented forthcoming knowledge?

As Joe Biden was inaugurated as president of the United States, some people who look to the Bible for inspiration are finding an entirely different solution: a return of the Davidic dynasty as a practical form of government. Both the US and Israel are experiencing challenges to their political systems. While Israel is set to go to the polls for the fourth time in two years, the US is fraught with doubts from a substantial portion of the electorate. As such, the political atmosphere in the US has taken on a Biblical demeanor. When the media declared a Biden victory on the day after the election, before the results had been tallied, some rabbis compared Biden’s presumptive behavior to Adonijah, the son of King David who tried to…
RUSSIA is poised to test an “unstoppable” 15,000mph nuclear missile it boasts can beat any defense and wipe out Texas. The RS-28 Sarmat doomsday rocket is now primed to replace the much-feared R-36 – once dubbed the “Satan” nuke by Nato. The Kremlin brags it has a range of around 6,200 miles, can carry 16 warheads and is able to dodge any missile defense system…
The efforts of Sir Charles Warren, a 19th century archaeologist and English officer in the British Royal Engineers, who conducted one of the first major excavations at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, may have helped make an important find almost a century later, the Daily Express reports. Describing Warren as “a real-life Indiana Jones”, Tom Meyer, a professor of Bible studies at the privately-funded Shasta Bible College and Graduate School, in California, explained that, “while digging an excavation shaft at the base of the southwest corner of the Temple Mount, Warren penetrated the first-century pavement laid by Herod the Great and perhaps cracked the edge of a large stone that had been buried there for almost 2,000 years”. “This important stone, now called ‘The Trumpeting Place Inscription,’ wasn’t discovered by Warren at that time; it remained hidden for about 100 more years until it was discovered in 1970 by Israeli archaeologist Benjamin Mazar”, Meyer stated. Noting that “it is possible that the stone broke when it was thrown off the top of the Temple Mount by the Romans in 70 AD”, the professor suggested that the stone’s discovery “confirms the testimony of Josephus…
In the early 1960s, peculiar stone circles were noted in an archaeological survey in the southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey. They were initially dismissed as unimportant, until German archaeologist Klaus Schmidt began excavating the site, known as Göbekli Tepe (“Potbelly Hill”) in 1995. What he uncovered was utterly unexpected […] certain carvings at Göbekli Tepe apparently depict “massive global climate shifts,” according to a paper by University of Edinburgh researchers. They described a “cataclysmic event” related to the end of the Ice Age period. Among some of the carvings appeared to be observations of comets […] What on Earth was this site? What were humans doing here? Genesis 11:2 reveals that mankind gathered in Shinar after they “journeyed east” (Jewish Publication Society; the King James translation, “from the east,” is inaccurate). This means that they gathered there from scattered locations to the west. But the Bible is even more precise in pinpointing the location: It reveals that mankind migrated from Turkey. Of course, the account of man’s settlement in Shinar follows the well-known story of Noah’s Flood. According to the biblical account, the ark landed “upon the mountains of Ararat”—somewhere in mountainous eastern Turkey (the exact place is still debated)—and from this location, Noah and his family descended from the ark—along with “every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, whatsoever moveth upon the earth” (Genesis 8:19). Is it just coincidence that prior to the “first civilization” in Sumer, there is now evidence of humanity’s “hub” specifically in southeastern Turkey? And not only that—a preponderance of all kinds of animal species? “Every beast … whatsoever moveth upon the earth”—all but the one family omitted in the biblical account—the sea creatures? (Below, one of the Göbekli Tepe monoliths—Pillar 56—displays all manner of animals filing along together in a large group—resemblent of the biblical account of the animals entering and exiting Noah’s ark.)…
In a strange but memorable story told by both Mark and Matthew, Salome, the stepdaughter of King Herod, dances for his birthday. Delighted by her performance, Herod tells her, “Whatever you ask me for, I will give it to you, up to half my kingdom.” Salome is advised by her mother to ask for the head of John the Baptist on a platter (Mark 6:22-24). Distressed but trapped by his publicly made promise, Herod gives Salome what she wants. The story takes up only about two paragraphs, but it tells us a great deal. Not only about the protagonists, but about the overall human condition. It’s almost Dostoyevsky-ian. In fact, the story has inspired many works of art throughout the centuries, including paintings by Titian and Moreau, an opera by Richard Strauss, and a play by Oscar Wilde. Though the story clearly has had a grip on artistic and cultural imaginations through the years, it is not a product of the Gospel writers’ imaginations. It is firmly rooted in history. And just recently, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that the site of the story had been discovered…
At first, scientists thought it was an ordinary comet. But Loeb said that assumption ran the risk of allowing “the familiar to define what we might discover.” “What would happen if a caveman saw a cellphone?” he asked. “He’s seen rocks all his life, and he would have thought it was just a shiny rock.” Loeb soon opened his mind to another possibility: It was not a comet but discarded tech from an alien civilization. A number of unusual properties about the object helped Loeb make this conclusion. First were ‘Oumuamua’s dimensions…
Meet the man who isn’t running to the supermarket to stockpile—thanks to his tiny urban patio garden which has kept him in fruit and vegetables for nine months. In his first harvest this year, Alessandro managed to produce an impressive haul of 30 different kinds of vegetable, including cabbage, carrots, garlic, fennel, leeks, cauliflower, and broccoli. Alessandro dined out on an impressive 35kg of tomatoes from just six plants, and he’s picked 10kg of 17 different types of chilli. Keen to be frugal and environmental, Alessandro’s crops are 100% organic: He uses foraged wild nettle from a park for pest control, and homegrown aloe vera to make fertilizer. Thanks to his Italian grandmother’s secret recipes, he’s turned lots of it into delicious pasta sauces to see him through winter, alongside veg he’s sorting too…
The New York assembly is considering a bill that would allow government officials such as Gov. Andrew Cuomo and health commissioners to “detain or remove” individuals that they deem a risk to public health. The bill, first introduced by Democrat New York State Assemblyman N. Nick Perry, grants power to Cuomo and state health officials to forcibly confine any individual who is considered a danger due to a contagious disease or a suspected case of that disease to either a medical facility or another type of space appointed by the governor…
We had not expected the ease with which the astronomers and technicians would also speak of UFOs! This was especially true when we walked up the gravel road from VATT to the LBT, where we spent most of the day with a systems engineer who not only took us to all seven levels of that mighty machine—pointing out the LUCIFER device (which he lovingly referred to as “Lucy” several times and elsewhere as “Lucifer”) and what it is…
