In what is being portrayed as a kind of global glasnost (remember the policy of “new openness” used by Mikhail Gorbachev to dismantle the USSR and usher the Agenda of global governance to a new level?), it is being reported that the Obama administration is about opening previously secret files to the public; and declaring that aliens from other worlds do exist for real
The accuracy or otherwise of this report (www.examiner.com/x-2383-Honolulu-Exopolitics-Examiner~y2009m10d21-Official-disclosure-of-extraterrestrial-life-is-imminent) will certainly be proven in no time, giving the suggested dates of either 2009 or 2010! However, it cannot be denied that there is indeed an explosion in reports of so-called activities of extra-terrestrials. Very significant is the fact that one of the clear leaders promoting this “new openness” on extraterrestrials is none other than the Vatican itself (pls see next story from Associated Press).
Of course, man is NOT the only sentient being living in the Universe! The activities of myriads of spirit beings have been firmly established and documented, right from the days of Noah when non-human beings, Nephilims, interacted intimately with the human race. The current epidemic of so-called UFO appearances and associated events such as Marian apparitions is thus another confirmation that we are in the end times. For as the Lord said, “But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” - Mat 24:37.
It is amusing seeing UFO-logists insisting on their own interpretation of events, under the guise of some science fantansies. For instance, ogbanjes and other familiar spirits that are freely roaming the entire planet today (ranging from water spirits, “helpers” and major-domos of traditional cults, to “friends,” “angels,” and “ascended masters” of the new age movements) are supposedly extra-terrestrials. [well, they might indeed be so called, legitimately!]. Even clearly explained Biblical events like the rapture of Elijah in a chariot of fire are heatedly interpreted as UFO abductions using alien technology! (Please see our previous article on the subject in Vol 11 No 6). A similar explanation probably awaits the next scheduled rapture – that of millions of Christians any moment from now!
In the next edition, by God’s grace, we shall examine the concept known as “The Singularity”, referring to the possibility, (and imminence) of our society undergoing a fundamental technological jump that blurs the divide between man and machine. What with the various prosthetics increasingly becoming available to enhance the ability of man! We predict that the crowning of such prosthetics would be the implanted microchip, after which the matching between man and the “extraterrestrials” will be perfected. The Church is the spiritual force delaying these impending events (2 Thess. 2:6-7). The handwriting is clear and bold: The Rapture Flight is Boarding.

In Egypt, Christians mowed down by Muslims, right on Church lobby
At least six Christians, coming from a midnight Church service, were mowed down by machine gunfire by three
Moslem men who drove by and sprayed bullets into a crowd of churchgoers in the town of Nag Hamadi in Qena province of Egypt on Wednesday January 6, early in the new year. Nine other Christians were wounded, three of them critically.
This drive-by shooting was the climax of a series of intensive hostilities against Christians in the town following rumours that a churchgoing man had raped a Moslem girl in November. “Muslim residents of Nag Hamadi and neighboring villages rioted for five days in November and torched and damaged Christian properties in the area after the rape.” Bishop Kirollos of the Nag Hamadi Diocese told The Associated Press " This is a religious war about how they can finish off the
Christians in Egypt," www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122299715
When Christians gathered at the church the next day and tried to protest this latest outrage, they were met with the full fury of the police who freely used teargas and also fired shots into the air to confine the peaceful assembly within church grounds. Meanwhile, compare the irony of this story with the next, also from Egypt www.ngrguardiannews.com/africa/article01//indexn2_html?pdate=080110&ptitle=Egyptian%20policemen%20disperse%20Copts%20protesting%20fatal%20shooting

Fresh Islamic Mayhem: Bauchi On The Boil Again
No fewer than eight people, including two soldiers and four children, were killed while a number of houses were burnt in the latest fracas by yet another fringe Islamic group as the year 2009 rolled away. Centred around Bauchi, site of the bloody Boko Haram uprising only a few months earlier, the new rampage involved an Islamic sect called Kala-Kato who were said to be demanding the release of their leader arrested by the authorities. At least 30 members of Kalakato also lost their lives to Nigeria’s military might. The four innocent children burnt to death had sought refuge in a house, which was burnt down by minors, supervised by adult members of Kalakato. According to the Nigeria Red Cross, “no fewer than 1000” forsook their homes and sought refuge at the Industrial area. http://allafrica.com/stories/200912300095.html
Government’s response to the latest in the incessant, predictable mayhems in Northern Nigeria is again meaningless and disappointing – as usual. According to a report in the Nigerian Tribune, the “Bauchi State Government is to set-up an inter-religious committee, consisting of all religious stakeholders with the aim of promoting religious harmony among the people of the state.” As if to say the one-sided madness was due to some religious disharmony between “all religious stakeholders” – meaning Christians and Moslems!
Reporting further, the Nigerian Tribune newspaper explained that, “according to the Special Assistant to the Governor on Media Affairs, .. the objective of the inter-religious committee” [when eventually set up], would be “to give warning signals of any perceived religious crises with a view to nipping it before it erupted.” [Sigh! Yawn!] How more could a government admit the failure of its security units than this kind of statement? Or the fact that it considers the development apparently only a minor incident to be addressed by mere media-directed rhetoric, when it is the assistant to the governor - on media issues - that was directed to make a statement!

In Maylasia Churches firebombed as Court grants that non-muslims may refer to God as Allah.
Several Churches (over 7 at the last count) are being firebombed by irate muslims who say they are protesting a Court ruling, on 31st December, that allows that non-muslims may use the Arabic word, Allah, to refer to God in the Malayan language. In 2007 the Government had banned such use, but the catholic newspaper, the Herald, which has several publications in Malayan challenged the government’s order in court. Although the government immediately indicated it would appeal the Court verdict overturning its order, the ubiquitous “Islamic extremists” are already taking the law into their own hands.
Christian groups in Malaysia argue that Allah is an Arabic name for God which predates Islam whereas Malaysian Muslims contend that the word should only be used by Muslims. Their fear, as articulated by the government, is that “making Allah synonymous with God may confuse Muslims and ultimately mislead them into converting to Christianity”.
Ordinarily, the Allah ban is unusual in the Muslim world. The Arabic word is commonly used by Christians to describe God in many countries including Egypt, Syria and Indonesia. In fact, in countries like Nigeria, ironically, it is Christians that are suggesting that Allah is a proper name for the God of Islam and should not be used as a generic name for the God of the Bible, Jehovah.(see
www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread188676/pg1 and also http://churcharise.blogspot.com/2008/01/do-moslems-themselves-believe-they.html, http://churcharise.blogspot.com/2008/02/eminent-christian-signatories-back-out.html,
Thankfully, many Muslims in Malaysia have condemned the firebombings, and Prime Minister Najib Razak, during a visit to one of the worst-hit churches, the Metro Tabernacle, announced a grant of $147,000 for rebuilding it at a new location . This gesture has been described as a major concession in a country where permission is rarely given for building new churches or temples. (www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/09/AR2010010900345.html). The government of Nigeria can learn some lesson about sincerity from that!

OVER 100,000 FEARED DEAD IN HAITI EARTHQUAKE
Akin to the tsunami that swept the Asian-Pacific coast at Christmas time in 2004, tens of thousands are feared dead as Haiti experienced its worst earthquake in 200 years, mid January..
Within one minute, it was all over and many lives (even of survivors) would never remain the same again. Another sharp reminder about the frailty of man’s life. The casualty was so much due to the closeness of the quake to the densely populated, and highly built-up country’s capital Port-au-Prince. Scores of notable buildings, of cathedrals and even the State House, were all leveled. The catholic Archbishop (spiritual leader in a country where 80% are nominal Roman catholics) was one of the earliest confirmed casualties.
Virtually all nations on earth are bending over backwards to send help (men and materials) as the critical 72 hour window during which lives can still be saved, ticked away. If only humanity could learn to work for the common good of all in times of peace as in times of emergencies!
We commiserate with the people of Haiti and commend those already doing what they could to offer a measure of relief. We encourage everyone to seize the opportunity to reflect on the FACT that one day, without notice, the Trumpet will sound and Jesus will fulfil His promise of coming back again to take home His own.
DO NOT LET YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED: YE BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME…. I WILL COME AGAIN, AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF (John 14:1-3a)

Nigerians begin to see through World Government’s Obama
In several previous articles, we have clarified the point that while we were excited to see a hardfighting underdog, and a blackman for that matter, attain to the highest political office in the world – the US Presidency, we have to face the reality that the US presidency had long been compromised, and is only awarded to favoured candidates according to dictates of some cabals whose central agenda is world governance. The eventual success of this agenda is guaranteed by the fact that it is firmly in tandem with God’s own stated agenda - see Rev 17:17. [http://churcharise.blogspot.com/2009/03/re-is-obama-antichrist.html]
Many Nigerians were however not convinced they should not celebrate more heartily the arrival of the time of the black man. Even if it is hinged on promotion of anti-family policies (abortion, homosexuality, etc), that is surely America’s problem! Nothing seems capable of dousing the excitement of the average Nigerian. Not even the ‘snub’ of Obama’s failing to make courtesy stops on his maiden African trip to his homecountry Kenya or Nigeria (the largest black nation on earth, and die-hard Obama fans); or his almost obscene pandering to the Arab-Moslem world, at the expense of Israel, most vividly exemplified by his literally prostrating for the Arabian sultanate (the repeat at Japan being merely an attempt to reduce the obvious association of this action with Islam). Not even the oddity of Obama’s being nominated for (and subsequently awarded) the Nobel Peace prize when he had barely spent two weeks in office. A prize awarded ahead of performance looks more like a bait! (see
www.nytimes.com/2009/10/10/world/10nobel.html?_r=1)
However, many Nigerians could not help being out-raged, and consequently are becoming cured of their Obamania, with the recent classification by the Obama administration, of Nigeria as a country of concern in international terrorism, with the added implication that Nigerians would henceforth be subjected to special stringent checks at the airports before being allowed into US bound planes!
One only has to recall reports of shabby treatments meted to eminent Nigerians [including Bishops and laureates], even before this classification, to shiver, at what the new development would mean for the average Nigerian.
And why this classification? A young Nigerian who had spent most of his adult life outside Nigeria, had been influenced and recruited into Islamic terrorism from outside Nigeria, had been reported by his own father to the American Embassy (and the CIA) as having fallen into bad influence abroad and could constitute danger to American interests, had bought the ticket for his trip to America in Ghana where he had spent weeks and had only come to board his plane in Nigeria (spending less than half an hour in the country)…… well, such a fellow tried to blow an airplane, which he boarded in Amsterdam; and presto, ALL 150 million NIGERIANS are to be blamed for that!
Surely, the Obama administration could obviously not be that deficient in logical reasoning (sounds very much like the logic of moslems killing Christians in Northern Nigeria, because one man in faraway Holland , supposedly a Christian nation, drew some cartoon of the Islamic prophet!) Rather, it yells about some people desperately looking for some opportunity to further a long-desired agenda - the introduction of beefed up intrusive security searches, beginning from the airports. And what better scapegoat than a country without a sitting president at the moment? Only incurably westernized Nigerians can fail to see the low esteem the US has for her great African ally, Nigeria! Could Obama have made such a declaration for Indonesia, Egypt and other US allies even where these are clear hotbeds of Islamic terrorism? Not to talk of Britain, whose citizen Richard Reid (aka Abdul Raheem), was in 2001 involved in quite similar circumstances as Abdulmutallab. Why, the same Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki who apparently radicalized Farouk was also the same guy who commissioned U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the American-born Muslim who mowed down with automatic weapons 12 soldiers and one civilian (and wounding dozens of others) 7 weeks earlier, at Ft. Hood, Texas. How then should the US government classify all its citizens!
The story-line of American authorities failing to respond to clear prior warnings by Abdulmuttalab’s dad, and hitting back immediately with a sledge-hammer, smells very much like previous infamous American designs such as Pearl Harbour (1941) or the 9-11 (2001) attacks, where enemy action was allowed to scale through in order to justify a pre-determined course of action (“response”) by Uncle Sam.
For the purpose of clarity, we state that the no-longer hidden goal of world government cabals is to continue to use so-called global problems ( including terrorism, man-made global warming campaign, economic meltdown etc,) to impose on nations of the world obnoxious policies and practices designed to achieve total absolute monitoring and control of every individual on earth; and the strengthening of transnational agencies which will eventually lead to the formation of a one world government under a charismatic leader, who the Bible predicts will purvey values directly opposing those of the Lord Jesus Christ – wherefore that man is otherwise known as the antichrist

Re:Warning from Hell
We offer a few words on the alleged vision attributed to a respected elderly man of God (Prophet Obadare), that another respected minister (late Pastor Bimbo Odukoya), was seen in hell, specifically on account of the miniskirts and hairdo she wore while on earth and that she appealed that the elderly minister relay a message back to warn her people on earth.
Apart from the reported renunciation of the story by the now retired elderly minister from his base in the US (– see http://thenationonlineng.net/web2/articles/31831/1/Prophet-Obadare-opens-up-on-late-Pastor-Bimbo-Odukoya/Page1.html, http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-377547.0.html ), it is categorically stated as a fact by those who should know that the lady minister never wore minis while on earth. According to her husband: “Met her at age 19. She passed on at age 45. She never wore a Mini skirt.” (http://huhuonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=883:confusion--the-altar-as-pastor-odukoya-repudiates-prophet-obadare&catid=89:finance&Itemid=379) Others aver that she would not even condone it from her junior ministers. Furthermore, from the clear teaching of the Lord in Luke 16:27-31, the request by the rich man that warning message be taken from hell to warn his folks on earth was rejected on the grounds that those who do not heed the living Scriptures preached by living ministers could not be helped by messages of a minister sent back from the dead.
So, while it is the undeniable sobering fact that there will be surprises in heaven and hell in the after life, and that only the Lord Jesus should be our ultimate model and mentor, it is also true that the judgment belongs only to Him and Him alone. It is important that the Church does not allow herself to be unduly distracted or divided by issues that lack credibility, not only in the light of simple verifiable facts, but also on Scriptural grounds - as well as based on the fruit produced within the Body of Christ.
