Ecumenism Goes Extraterrestrial
(Or -- Guess Who's Coming to Church)

As I stated at the top of this section
of LCM, the topic of ETs and UFOs, I believe, must be considered seriously, and
from a religious perspective. I say that because the phenomena has an inherently
overriding religious or spiritual tone. Here, I provide statements from some
notable religious organizations and individuals that have made public comments
or offered their perspective on the topic.
Incredible as it may sound, The National Catholic Reporter
for January 22, 1993, carried an article entitled, "Controversial Telescope Is
Justified If Just A Single Alien Is Converted." This is what it actually said in
part;
"Vatican Observatory officials have been reaching for the stars,
even invoking the possible evangelization of extraterrestrial life . . . [They]
denied the NASA connection, but not the goal of possibly baptizing
extraterrestrials."98
Consequently, one could say Rome’s ecumenism is actually
"galactic" in scope without exaggerating. Along this same line, another
ecumenical Evangelical, Tony Campolo, is also thinking about extraterrestrials and
religion. What he said could make for serious implications at some point in the future;
The Toronto Star, 9/14/96: If there is intelligent life on
other planets, the first question evangelical theologian Tony Campolo would ask is:
"What can you teach us about God?" "There’s a cosmic dimension to
salvation. There’s a cosmic design," says Campolo, an author and preacher.
"It just may be that the Earth is a place where the most important drama of the
salvation story was acted out, but the salvation of God extends far beyond the limitations
of our minds."
Indulging his own imagination, Campolo says he could envision a scenario where
God—tired of the mess human beings had created in this world—would send beings
from another planet to help people learn to love one another.99
Interestingly, on January 20, 1997, Mr. Campolo was one
of the featured speakers at the special ecumenical religious event that now precedes each
U.S. presidential inauguration. All present, including the president and vice-resident,
seemed very moved by Mr. Campolo’s, shall I say, performance.
The topic of extraterrestrials requires another book to fully
address it. However, the historical events of the last 100 years, and more then 20 years
of in-depth and ongoing research dictates that I say the following in brief;
-
So-called advanced "extraterrestrials" are in reality a false
persona being used by Satan and his demonic angels. (2 Corinthians 11:14–15)
-
Any open arrival by such will only be used to prepare the world for
Satan’s predicted personal coming to Earth. (Revelation 12:9–13)
-
Satan will then seize the awe of his coming as a "superior
intelligence" to install his personally chosen and "anointed" liaison, one
call "Christ," as the leader of the world. (Revelation 13:1–4)
-
Satan may claim an earlier mass disappearance of weak people was carried
out by a coming false "Christ." (Revelation 13:6) But it would actually have
been the "catching away" predicted in 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18.
-
This likely more than human leader will then rule through a one-world
religious and economic system. (Revelation 13:7-8, 16–17)
-
Satan will use another powerful being, who will use signs, miracles, and
wonders to solidify the ecumenical movement into a world religion that will be used to
deceive the vast majority of mankind into worshipping him, the world leader, and a
demonically animated image. (2 Thessalonians 2:9 and Revelation 13:11–14) Once
the world religion has served it purpose, it’s headquarters will be destroyed and all
worship will be directed entirely to the world leader and Satan. (Revelation 13:15,
14:8–9, 17:5, 16–18)
-
Any believers remaining on Earth during this time will suffer under the
harshest inquisition and persecution to ever come upon humankind. Most will gain victory
only through death. (Revelation 13:7, 16–17; 20:4)
-
All the deceived will totally submit to Satan’s plan and join him in
a final rebellion and futile assault against Jesus Christ who will be coming from heaven,
or "outer-space." Satan will likely assert that this "Christ" is
merely an evil extraterrestrial who is impersonating the biblical Jesus as a means of
using religiously based fears to gain control over the humans of Earth. (Revelation 13:6,
16:13–14, and 19:19–21)

I strongly disagree with the perspectives offered
by those sited above. I believe you will understand why I say this
as you view the following pages.
