Joe Jordan – Spiritual Warfare and Abduction Phenomena

Joe Jordan – Spiritual Warfare and the Abduction Phenomena (MP3)

As we enter 2009, I invite you to listen to this pivotal interview with MUFON director and Alien Abduction researcher Joe Jordon in this interview on Future Quake radio from this last August. Joe outlines the spiritual warfare and a high level of deception in the Abduction Phenomena.

Joe Jordan is President and co-founder of CE-4 Research Group. He is also MUFON State Section Director and Field Investigator for Brevard County, Florida, home of Kennedy Space Center. Joe works in Product Development and Engineering in the transportation industry. Joe Jordan says “”I am probably the most hated man in UFOlogy.”

The Reality of Ghosts: A Possible Biblical Explanation

 

Special guest to Drywind.net, Dr. Stephen M Yulish is the author of many books including The Great Harpazo Deception, Invasion Israel and many others. He was a member of the research group NICAP in the 1960s after reading Project Bluebook. He studied astronomy and exobiology at Case Western Reserve University and graduated in 1969. He eventually became a History Professor at The University of Arizona for seven years where he visited Allen Hyneck’s Tucson group. He became interested in Bible prophecy after he had a head on collision with Jesus Christ in 1988.

First published in UFO Digest

Last year, independent, nontraditional, religious scholar, Patrick Cooke, did a series of articles onThe Bible and the Paranormal, UFO Digest, 7/ 3, 17, and 25/07 which I critiqued in my articlePatrick Cooke’s The Bible and the Paranormal: What He failed to Tell You, UFO Digest 8/21/07. Patrick is a earnest researcher but I believed that he misled the readers by designating all paranormal activities in the Bible as inherently positive and without any negative consequences While the Word God says instead: “There shall not be found among you …one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens or a sorcerer, or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead,. For whoever does these things is detestable to the Lord.” (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). Sure Saul did call up the dead spirit of Samuel by using the medium, the witch of Endor, (1 Samuel 28:11), but he did so against God’s warning not to do such things and he died for doing it.

“So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the Lord, because of the word of the Lord which he did not keep, and also because he asked counsel of a medium, making inquiry of it, and he did not inquire of the Lord. Therefore, He killed him.” (1 Chronicles 10:13).

Therefore, even though the Bible speaks of the reality of paranormal activities like witchcraft and mediums and omens that doesn’t mean that one should participate in these activities anymore than one should participate in murder, incest, adultery or homosexuality even though these activities are also mentioned in the Bible and are warned against as well.

Patrick also misinformed the readers, I believe, by his understating of the concept of hell in the Bible .Jesus spoke more about hell than he did about heaven; see Mathew 5:22, 10:28 and 23:45 as well as Mark 9:47 etc. Likewise Patrick overstated the paranormal abilities that Jesus said any of us could all have because Jesus said we had to “Believe in Him first (John 14:12) and this is a very important necessary condition that he neglected to mention.

I also criticized Patrick’s belief in ghosts in the Bible (and anywhere else for that matter) because of the statement “Once to die and then the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

But, in the spirit of this Christmas season, however, I must now admit that I have found something in the Bible that might give credence to Patrick’s statement about entities in the Bible “roaming around the earth in a ghostly body.” Ghosts in the Bible? Was Patrick correct? Maybe! Just maybe!

Both the Old Testament:

“Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt” (Daniel 12: 2).

“The dead will live. Your corpses will rise and the earth will give birth to departed spirits” (Isaiah 26:19).

and the New Testament

“All in the tombs shall hear his voice and shall come forth those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment” (John 5:28-29),speak of a resurrection at the end of time to either eternal destruction or eternal bliss.Former UCLA Economics Professor and now a leading Messianic Jewish theologian, and a man whose judgment I respect, David Stern, in his 1998 book,The Complete Jewish Bible: An English Version of the Tanakh (Old Testament) and Brit Hadashah (New Testament), translated Isaiah 26:14 as “The dead will not live again; the ghosts will not rise again for you punished and destroyed them and wiped out all meaning of them.”

The King James Version of Isaiah 26:14 is

“The dead will not live again; the deceased spirits will not rise”

The interesting fact is that the word dead in both is the Hebrew word Rephaim (giants) which actually refers to a people.

“It is also regarded as the land of Rephaim where people are as great and numerous and tall as the Anakim.” (Deuteronomy 2:20-21).

“There also we saw the Nephilim. The sons of Anak (Anakim) are part of the Nephilim and we became like grasshoppers in their presence” (Numbers 13:33).

These people, the Rephaim and Anakim were an offshoot of the Nephilim. Dead Rephaim, or dead Nephilim, have no souls and thus may have roamed the earth in ghostly bodies as Patrick intimated. Thus we humans have souls and await judgment in the end of days and cannot wander as ghosts, but soulless Nephilim (Rephaim) possibly could. Consequently, maybe so called ghosts in the Bible and in other places past and present are in reality dead Nephilim (Rephaim) who will never be resurrected and wander the earth aimlessly? These soulless entities are demonic in nature and thus share with their father, Satan, the power, ability and will to deceive us humans. These ghosts try to deceive us that our family and friends are still accessible to us from beyond the grave which goes against Scripture and ultimately denies the need for a Savior.

Who again are these Nephilim/Rephaim?

When the sons of God (fallen angels, possibly extraterrestrials) mated with the human daughters of men (Genesis 6:2) and their offspring the Nephilim(Genesis 6:4) were on the earth in those days and also afterward (Numbers 13:33). The New Testament tells us a great deal more about these actions that took place during these days of Noah. It speaks of angels who did not keep their own abode and whom God has kept in eternal bonds under darkness (Jude 6) for pursuing strange (human) flesh (Jude 7). God did not spare these (fallen) angels when they sinned and sent them to hell (2 Peter 2:4). The extra biblical book ofEnoch called these fallen angels Grogori and stated that 200 of these so called Watchers descended to earth. They are also discussed in the Dead Sea Scroll,Genesis Apocrophon, and other Apocryphal and pseudopigraphal writings.

Therefore, there must have been hundreds or maybe thousands of offspring generated from these unholy unions which God destroyed in the Great flood(Genesis 7:23) to prevent the contaminating of the Messianic bloodline to come. But as discussed earlier we saw later eruptions of these hybrid soulless children later called the Rephaim and Anakim as more fallen angels descended to earth. The apostle Paul continued to warn women thousands of years later to cover their heads so not to tempt these fallen angels (1 Corinthians 11:10) When these Rephaim (Nephilim) offspring died, their souls were condemned not to live again or to rise (resurrection) as humans will.

As a consequence, the only way that Job could experience a spirit passing by his face causing the hair of his flesh to bristle up (Job 4:15) was if it were a soulless dead Nephilim (Rephaim) wandering the earth in a ghostly body. Patrick may have been correct, but even if he were, it was unfortunately for the wrong reasons.

Rivers, UFOs, and Paranormal – The Confines of the Fallen Ones

The sightings started in the southeastern states and, in Hynek’s words, “spread along the river valleys”. Interview With J. Allen Hynek, Nature, October 4, 1975, Vol. 251, p. 369.
 

Esteemed astrophysicist and UFO skeptic turned UFO researcher J. Allen Hynek noted the strange connection between UFOs and rivers.  Legitimate UFO sightings can occur in any locale but a signficant proportion of high profile cases occur along major rivers and river valleys. 

Hynek himself studied the famed Hudson River Valley sightings in New York which remains one of the best documented and unexplained sightings of all time. Beyond simply lights in the sky, these sightings included contact with non-human entities and other paranormal events.  

For another example, one of the most scientifically documented cases of a paranormal “hotspot”, an area of Utah known as Skinwalker Ranch hosted a bizarre range of UFO, poltergeist, and cryptozoological activity. SkinWalker ranch is only a few miles from the Colorado River, with Uinta River running right through the ranch.  It is this river and its basin that seemed to be a hub of very negative paranormal activity.

The UFO and non-human entity relationship shows up promimently in another river-connected case, the so-called Mothman sighting surrounding the collapse of the Silver River Bridge in 1967.

The river connection would remain enigmatic if it where not for the single ancient document that provides the most insight into the paranormal and spirit world – the document we refer to as the Bible.

Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

Revelation 9:14-15

It is clear that rivers are more than simply bodies of water. There is a spiritual / dimensional aspect to them.  I cannot speculate how powerful multi-dimensional beings can be bound in a river; I must conclude there is an aspect to earth’s geography that extends beyond our limited perception. When the Bible speaks of angels who were bound, it could be referring to a very specific group of fallen angels who attempted to manipulate genetically with humans in a vain attempt to thwart the plan of God. It is my contention these fallen angels are beginning to manifest on the earth again, especially around geophysical areas where they are somehow dimensionally bound by God.  It is no accident that rivers are the focal point of UFO and paranormal activity- activity that is not extra-terrestrial but rather intrinsic to the temporary fallen state of this world.  The good news is that this incursion will be forever banished at the return of Jesus, which I feel is closer than ever.

Powerlines, UFOs, and the Paranormal

UFOs are associated with disruptions in electrical transmission systems and this is evidenced by the recent accounts from the UK, where hundreds of of witness in various areas of the country have observed unexplained aerial objects

In November a large power outage was reported in Chorey in the central UK when two primary sub-stations mysteriously lost power to 14,000 people. A weird sighting of a globe and a cross were seen over the area during the outage.

John Szwarc, of Greenside, Euxton, was travelling along Runshaw Lane in his car at the time of the blackout and says he saw two strange objects flying across the sky.

He said: “There were two UFOs. The main one was a huge bright cross which shone with a brilliant silver colour, although my wife thought that it was more a gold colour.

“There was also a small globe or circular object close to it composed of the same uncanny brilliance.

“Both were static in the daylight sky and both disappeared at exactly the same moment. – Lancashire Evening Post

This was followed by a high profile sighting in Bury on December 1 which also involved a power outage.

Police confirmed a man reported the sighting. The man, who did not want to give his name, said he was walking near the cathedral at around 10pm when there was a sudden power cut.

“I looked up at the sky – I was quite frightened. There was a grey thing spinning around and around. About four or five other people were looking up at the sky.” – Bury Free Press

In the United States recently, UFO researcher Dick Criswell noted how the massive power outage in Florida on February 26, 2008 coincided with many weird objects being seen in the Florida sky, some apparently over the Turkey Point nuclear power plant. The power outage apparently resulted from the highly improbable failure of two unrelated pieces of critical equipment:

This was an extremely unusual occurrence,” Tampa Electric Co. President Chuck Black said.

This reporter experienced an event in 2005 where an unexplained aerial object was associated with power line disturbance on the same day a large section of Los Angeles lost power for unexplained reasons.

Now, I am not saying that all power outages are due to UFOs, but historically, UFOs have been associated with major power outages from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s (Refer to this article). The power disruption effects of these strange craft was studied back in 1983 by NICAP (National Investigations Commitee on Aerial Phenonmena). The author of the study concluded that UFOs produce an ionizing effect that disrupts the normal flow of current, causing arcing and grounding short circuits.

In this manner of electrical field effects, UFOs have much in common with other paranormal phenomena. Those who investigate hauntings have long noticed electromagnetic disruptions. This connection, I believe, is not a coincidence. While no doubt some UFOs are just experimental military craft, others demonstrate “spirit-like” abilities that defy physical reality such as instantaneous 90 degree turns at high speed, morphing into objects and shapes at will, and the ability to go through solid objects. Furthermore, these manifestations flaunt their abilities in populated areas, not in deserted testing ranges like experimental military craft.

Respected Ghost and Paranormal researcher Joshua P Warren has repeatedly makes the connection between UFO and Ghost manifestation:

Investigator Joshua P. Warren returned, sharing his latest research on active paranormal sites, in places such as Puerto Rico. More than ever, he is seeing a relationship between UFOs, ghosts, aliens and cryptids– and noticing that more than one type of these activities are taking place at specific locales. – Coast to Coast AM August 19, 2008

Some may counter that UFOs are often described as physical craft, so they cannot be spiritual. I would agree, UFOs are physical; however this does not mean they are not also multidimensional (spiritual). One must remember that physical manifestations from what we call the spirit realm can be similar to the way an actor uses a “prop” in a stage play; it suites the purpose of those behind this phenomena and it also interaction with the audience. Besides spirit-like electrical fields, physical UFOs demonstrate other characteristics that point to being a culturally relevant prop from extra-dimensional realities:

• UFOs frequently are seen to eject or dissovle into Molten Metal (suggesting terrestrial elements are used and discarded in forming the craft manifestation).
  
• UFOs frequently change shape
• UFOs historically change their appearance to match the technological expectations of the time
• UFOs can have a close resemblance to science fiction craft

UFOs are manifestations from a larger, multidimensional world that surrounds what we call the physical world. Modern physics is recognizing multiple dimensions as a likely reality. If you take out all the cultural bias about the spirit world derived from fiction stories and really understand its implications, then you can see the spirit world is really another term for other dimensions outside of the reality we perceive.

All of this comes into a clearer focus when you take into account the most in-depth historical book on the spirit world: The Bible. The Bible is not some old dusty outdated book, but it addresses this multidimensional reality as an intrinsic element of the created universe. (Please refer to Quantum Physics: The Boundaries of Reality, by Chuck Missler). UFOs are a continuum of interaction between extra-dimensional beings and humans that has been going on for as long as humans have been on this earth.

The Bible discusses these beings in two basic root classes, God’s angels and fallen angels. Both classes of angels appear in the Bible as tanglible physical manifestations, often in disguise. While the good angels often appear as humans to blend in while completing their divine missions, the fallen angels manipulate their appearance to deceive  (being described as an “angel of light” and serpent beings in some passages). Furthermore, the fallen ones are described as being deceptive manipulators of technology, genetics, and overall very comfortable and aware of all human technology (refer to Chuck Missler’s study). It is important to remember angels are not the little winged fictional creations on Hallmark greeting cards; they are powerful multidimensional beings, created by God, with great diversity and a complex hierarchy.

The Bible stresses that the dimensional existence which includes fallen angels are of many levels and species. The common electro-magnetic disruptions of this manifestations show a common origin of UFO and Ghost manifestation, and this origin is from the dimensional, spiritual existence that is now interacting in ever increasing manners with our physical sphere.
