How You Should Respond to the Prophetic
Importance of Genesis 6
  
A Problem Ignored
I set up my web site in 1999. My main focus was to inform the
public about the Biblical perspective on UFOs and “Aliens”. From a Pastoral role
I also wanted to provide an alternative Biblical based counseling for victims of
“Alien abduction”. I have had some counseling success with abductees but it only
represents a small part of personal ministry. More surprising to me was the fact
that the bigger ministry was to the many Christian individuals who have recently
come to understand events in Genesis 6 and their replay as “Aliens in UFOs in
our time”
The biggest problem most individuals had was how to relate to their local
fellowships when they tried to share some of this information. Regardless of how
well they presented themselves and the information, at best they are considered
nice but sort of “out there”, and at worst they are asked to leave the
fellowship. These various forms of rejection, most of us have encountered
especially if you are involved in ministry related to the topic. The enemy Satan
would like to turn the hurt and disappointment into anger and hostility toward
the Church and create a further estrangement and isolation for the prophetic
individual. This problem has become a bigger ministry for me than any other
aspect of the topic of UFOs/Aliens and Genesis 6
The purpose of this article is not to discuss the Genesis 6 events but rather to
discuss the New Testament believers who are going to be involved someday in
explaining to the masses of fellow believers and others, just what is going on.
I hope this article will help you through some difficult times as you realize
what you should and should not do with all this strange sounding information.
This is Big, and I have to do something about it!
One of the largest and important, missing elements of
eschatology (study of end time events) is the Genesis 6 scenario revealed and
realizing how it is replayed in the end of times. For most of the readers here,
you are probably already familiar with these events. I do not want to be
sensational or at the same time downplay the importance of the Genesis 6
paradigm. Most who have studied and made the UFO/Alien connection realize just
how big on a global scale this really is. But what should we do with the
message? How are we to balance our own lives in the midst of proclaiming it?
What is the big picture concerning our personal evolvement?
The first thing to realize is that much of the prophetic aspects of the replay
of Genesis 6 in our day are unconditional prophetic events. Unconditional
prophecies are those events and situations that are part of a bigger plan
leading toward God’s perfect and ultimate will. Many times these events are very
negative but they are a necessary part of God’s plan. Human nature is such that
we would tend to interfere with unconditional prophecies if we knew all the
details before they actually happened. If they were positive, we would find
ourselves trying to assist God in their completion, and if they were negative we
would try to prevent them. In this reasoning it is important to know that
unconditional prophecies are usually not known or understood until they have
already happened or at best when events are already progressed beyond the
possibility of human interference. This is why there is a warning to the saints
living in this time to refrain from this kind of interference.
“He that leadeth into captivity shall go into
captivity: he that killeth with
the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith
of the saints. “ Rev 13:10 (KJV)
I believe John is not describing the taking of prisoners here
but rather in context, he is giving a choice for believers. The first part of
this scripture is the mental attitude in the midst of this end time scenario. To
lead into captivity is the attempt to seize the moment by your own
understanding. By not seeing the bigger picture within these events, the natural
reaction is to support against or prevent negative things from happening that
are predestined. In this wrong thinking you lose focus to a higher calling and
become captive by the temporal disruptions. You settle for second best by acting
in a physical manner as opposed to the spiritual calling of a higher ministry as
a witness. The second option is the physical response to the wrong attitude. To
“live by the sword and die by it” is an option to defend your self by lethal
means which appears to be permissible but it will result with your own shortened
life and diminished potential of ministry meeting an early death by the same
means. The qualification of this interpretation is revealed by the concluding
statement that not reacting in this manner is the patience and faith of the
believer holding out for God’s very best. His best for us in this time as
prophets or witnesses for the truth is described also in the book of Revelation.
“And they overcame him by the blood of the
Lamb, and by the word of
their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
Revelation 12:11 (KJV)
The Blood of the Lamb
Accepting Christ is the only dimensional bridge back to the
intended creation. The blood of the lamb makes each person as they become “Born
Again” and touched by His Spirit aware of this dimensional difference of heaven
and earth. The shed blood of Christ gives a supernatural hope and expectation to
something more than just this mortal life. Our focus becomes fixed on another
dimension, heaven, rather than the present mortal existence on this earth. The
shed blood then makes the believer aware of this difference without knowing
necessarily the physics behind it. This act could only be accomplished by God
alone and He, being fully man and yet God in the flesh. The power of the blood
of the lamb is the power of a sense of newness and hope and the realization of
belonging to a better dimension, eternity with the one who loves and created us.
That revealed knowledge gives the believing individuals the power to overcome
the horrible global events around him or her and even the mundane things in our
daily life here in this fallen dimension for the appointed duration we are here.
Word of their testimony
Each one who crosses over spiritually into this act of being
“Born Again” experiences a change in your perception of the world around you and
your own life in it, you become forever changed. The personal process leading to
that moment of decision becomes our personal story or, the Word of your
Testimony. In its simplest form it is like the words to Amazing Grace taken from
the testimony of the blind man given back his sight. “Once I was blind but now I
see”.
While researching and reading a very deceptive book about the UFO/ Alien Agenda
which was very hostile toward a Biblical perspective, I wondered for a moment,
(or rather in retrospect, was maybe told in a whisper by the enemy) “what if
this could be true and you are wrong”. A sudden fear came upon me that was
instantly removed. In that moment of fear and uncertainty, I remembered a hot
day in July of 1974 as I was in my living room praying for the first time in my
life. I was asking Jesus to come into my heart for the first time. In that very
moment only what I could describe as something like a warm blanket of love
floated over my whole being. I cried like a baby feeling like I did when I came
home from the Army in 1970. I suddenly knew beyond my own natural senses that
God was my Father, there was no more fear of what awaited beyond death. I felt
clean and new. That experience was the Word of my personal testimony. In this
remembrance of my testimony I immediately snapped back like a rubber band to a
reality the world could never understand.
Loved not their lives unto death.
Equipped with this mental and spiritual realization we have
the strength to obey the last part of this scripture. It is the fact that we may
be called upon to die because of our faith in the near future. The Greek word
for witness is “Martus” by analogy means a martyr. We derived the English word
Martyr from this. The ability to do this is in our focus, as we understand
that there is a better place of existence called eternity. We also know that
this present linear mortal life is going to end and we will not create heaven on
earth in this dimension, it is not our job nor God’s will, it is going to burn
up and come to an end. Our only order is to remain faithful and overcome this
present system. To further spiritualize this idea, we should as the Apostle Paul
put it, “ die daily” to our old ways and habits that reflect this present world
system and gather the power and awareness of the new world to come and it’s
reality. Our spiritual focus to overcome the ways and manners of this world, is
our most general order, promise and hope.
So what do you do now?
Knowing where the ultimate road may lead in the near future,
how does that translate into your daily life now? This is probably the most
important aspect of this article as I have seen so many gifted men and women of
God have their faith shipwrecked by the enemy through a rebuking and unbelieving
Church.
First I will tell you what not to do. Do not expect that you or anyone of us is
going to “wake up” the church to these important end time understandings. It is
just not going to happen yet.
You must realize that you understand something that is unconditional and
predestined. You know this before the majority of your fellow believers who are
not even willing to hear about it. You must realize that they are not willing to
hear about it because they have not been called to understand it yet. In order
for some of these events to come to their completion, the majority of believers
must be oblivious in understanding them. If tomorrow, the whole body of
believers would suddenly have the knowledge some of us have about the role
“Aliens and UFOs have in this great deception, we could prevent it from ever
happening. To do this would actually go against the ultimate will of God. It is
all part of the big picture which we cannot see as God does. Certainly God’s
plan will be carried out without our help or interference. Understanding this
should take the pressure and burden off your shoulders, that it is not your job
to convince the unbelieving church about these matters yet. They won’t
understand until God allows them to. All you can do with the masses is plant a
non forced seed for future recognition. This should remove the frustration as
you wonder why the others don’t get it or even consider what you have to say.
You need to realize that they are not called to do so right now. It simply is
not God’s will at this present time for the majority of believers to accept or
to know these things. Our natural tendency to interfere is prevented in this
“blockage” by the Holy Spirit.
So, this still leaves the questions, who is the message for? , what do I do with
it, and what do I do with myself?
Stay where you have been planted
Most of us find it very hard to remain in a church that will
not tolerate our message or us. At the very best all we can expect or hope for
is a place that will accept us and tolerate the message as long as we don’t push
it on others. We will always be looked upon as a bit “out there” or “kooky” For
now that is OK. It is to be almost expected.
Salt and Light
Today as events are, this understanding is for two groups of
people. One group is the few individuals who are drawn to you and ask questions
and have insight to what you are saying.
The Lord in these present times has allowed many to know these truths but we are
scattered into all various parts of the body of Christ,. This scattering is the
function of being salt even to our fellow believers. When, and certainly someday
soon, the UFO Alien lies will become a public challenge to our faith, the church
will be shook up and rocking on their foundations because of their lack of
scriptural knowledge of these topics and events. This is where your ministry
becomes a public one to reach out to your fellow believers in your local church.
Right now you share with anyone who is willing to listen or who inquires but we
do not come with an agenda to push this on everyone. We are in a sense building
pillars within the church to be an emergency support when we are called upon.
Events will create this need naturally without our plans or schemes. We just
simply stay where we have been planted in our local churches and if at best
endure and bear with them.
Wait for your time
This present action is like a prizefighter. He must stay in
shape and be ready for the big fight whenever the opportunity comes, but until
that time he must remain patient and in shape, ready for action. This is in a
sense a holding pattern until we are needed and then, with a servant attitude we
need to remain in our churches that currently at best only make light of us.
However there is exciting news! There is a mission field for having this
understanding of UFOs/Aliens and the Genesis 6 paradigm
Go where the fight is today
Without exaggeration there are hundreds of thousands of people
flocking to the New Age belief system. These individuals have forsaken Jesus
Christ and the Bible for every wind of doctrine. One of the fastest growing “New
Age” doctrines is the concept that “Aliens” are our creators, the clouds of
heaven in the Bible are extraterrestrial spacecraft and soon they will make
their appearance to bring us into a greater cosmic community and a New Age of
enlightenment for mankind. You have the truth so go and tell them in any way and
manner that is scriptural and fruitful. This should remain your focus at this
time. In doing this you can have an exciting fruitful life in Christ with the
ability to endure the rejection and light treatment by the world and fellow
Christians.
Getting stoned as a prophet New Testament style
Realize also that in the Old Testament times, prophets who
carried an unpopular message were stoned to death. Today we live in a much
kinder and gentler society. We no longer stone the unpopular prophet, rather the
Church’s gentler, kinder way to dispose of an unpopular prophet is to simply
ignore them and exclude them from involvement and activities until discouraged
they just go away. Realize that no matter how anointed, talented or experienced
you are in the Word and gift ministries you will probably remain on the outside
of things and not too actively involved or invited to minister. Don’t let this
be a discouragement to you. It is ok; abide faithfully where you are, remaining
friendly and loving to your fellow brothers and sisters. Be the bigger wiser
brother or sister without a condescending attitude. Your ministry for now is
simply to those who are genuinely interested and those who are running into hell
who believe the lies in which you have the truth.
This should be enough to sustain you until the big day when all this will come
out into the open.
You are a Human Filter Be Careful
It has been my experience in the past that many times just
before the Lord gives me some understanding that is not personal but rather more
global or universal, he will humble me in some further shaping and molding way.
I will usually receive something of a personal nature for me to realize my
weakness, which helps to remind me of my dependence on him. It will usually be
something that I may comment back to him, “Well that isn’t really that big of a
thing and certainly not related to my ministry is it Lord?” You better believe
if the Lord brought it up it is important to him and to you. The scripture
reminds us of one important fact for a prophet, HOLINESS.
“ For the prophecy came not in old time by the
will of man: but HOLY men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. .2
Pet 1:2 (KJV)
The gift and ministry of a Prophet is free but discipleship
and obedience are how this gift and ministry are performed with accuracy.
Imagine pouring a brand new can of oil into your car and you are using a
strainer funnel to direct the flow of oil into your engine. In the process you
drop the filter on the ground and it now has grass mixed with sand dirt and
other objects in your filter. How pure is the oil going to be when it has to
pass through this dirty oil filter funnel? It will be a mess. We are human
filters that have to be clean in order for what the Holy Spirit is pouring
through us is pure and clear. Sometimes it is the little things that will clog
and contaminate us as a filter. The scriptures allude to this thought with the
little foxes that can ruin a vineyard by stealing the grapes a little at a
time. (SOS 2:14) The rewards of obedience which leads to Holiness is a powerful
clear message easily and boldly proclaimed.
When God Speaks
One of the tests of maturity in the Christians life is our
reaction when God speaks to us. Weather it be that small still voice heard
during a time of being quiet before the Lord in prayer , an impression while
reading from the Word of God , the bearing witness of the Holy Spirit while
hearing a sermon or teaching and even through someone else in the form of a
personal prophecy, what we do next with this revelation may determine an outcome
for more than just ourselves as we learn to wait upon the Lord. Many times truth
ahead of it’s time will produce confusion instead of the intended direction and
guidance.
Do you have the play or the ball
To illustrate, the Christian who has just received a form of
revelation from the Lord could be likened to a football player sitting on the
bench. The coach approaches the benched player and gives him the next play to
give the other ten players and sends him out onto the playing field in the
huddle. How outlandish would it be if the player instead of going to the huddle,
starts running toward the end zone as if he had the ball and was going to single
handedly win the game by scoring the touchdown all by himself.
Many times, young or old Christians may get caught up with the excitement of a
revelation and speak or react before the proper time or even before having
complete knowledge. This can have a very negative effect and not the intended
one with results that affect more than just the individual.
Do Bee Don’t Bee
Two examples of do’s and don’ts are illustrated in the Bible
for us.
“But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her
heart”. Luke 2:19
Mary upon hearing that she was going to birth the promised Messiah and thereby
be the mother to the incarnate God pondered this in her heart. Ponder in the Greek, ( Strong’s number
4820, sumballo) means to throw together, to discuss with ones self as a mental
exercise of analyzing, discerning and settling the matter in your own mind .
The scripture also tells us that she kept those things the angel spoke to her.
Kept in the Greek, (Strong’s number 4933 suntereo) means to remember and guard
or protect the matter to herself . She kept them secret to only herself. This
is true wisdom when concerning supernatural revelations. It is important to wait
upon the Lord for further direction, confirmation or definition that may only be
for yourself or for a certain group of people at the proper time.
What results would have happened if Mary went strutting
around during her pregnancy telling everyone, See this? (as she pointed to her
bulging belly,) I’m carrying God in here an angel told me so. Everything is true
but some things have no business being said ahead of their time. This was
something meant to be kept secret and quiet, a personal revelation just for her.
Joseph was another who received a supernatural revelation as a
dream.
“And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it
his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.” Gen 37:5
Joseph in his youth and lack of experience blurted out his
dream to his brothers without realizing that there existed a tense relationship
between them and that the dream would only inflame things further. This foolish
act started the course of events that would actually fulfill the dream. This was
a Romans 8:28 plan, everything worked together for the good in the end, but it
could have been less intense for Joseph perhaps, if he had used wisdom in what he
spoke, how he spoke, to whom he spoke to and when.
A recent personal example of a mistake with balance
My father was a living example of having this balance and
aspect to both examples. In 1979, many of our members including my Dad and I
were prophesied over by a well known missionary evangelists, Steve Fato. My
Dad’s prophecy was stated, “The Lord was going to extend his life beyond his
time and that he would be a pillar to others and that when they came to him they
would trust him because they knew he would not turn them in.”
Now because of the part about “not turning them in”, was
there, he began to believe from this that someday in the “end times” he would
assist people in escaping to safety, who would not take the “mark of the beast.”
This was personal and he kept it to himself for awhile. In 1984 my father was
dead from a heart attack for more than ten minuets. He was miraculously brought
back to life without any damage. This we all agreed, was the first part of the
prophecy fulfilled. His life had been supernaturally extended, as he should have
died that year. This gave him a boldness to share with his eleven grandchildren
the rest of the prophecy. Nine of them were my brother’s kids who were not
exposed to too many things about the Lord. Since that time my Dad had several
other heart attacks far less severe, a triple bypass and also angioplasty which
he survived. He became a familiar face at the local hospital and if you knew my
Dad, he just saw all of this as a missionary journey. Every time he went in, my
Dad’s witness was leading a nurse or fellow patient to Jesus. Much of his
strength was in the hope of this prophecy not yet fulfilled. He stayed around
out of a sense of duty and responsibility because he still had something to do.
The last time he was in the hospital, his countenance was
different. He began to lose his short-term memory and he realized that he was
too weak and too old to ever perform what he hoped he would someday do for the
Lord. He began to be depressed and brokenhearted, that somehow he had failed the
Lord and was being passed over.
I prayed and pleaded with the Lord for understanding and faithful as He is, I
got the answer.
While I was Pastor of one of the first evangelical
Christian Motorcycle Ministries, we had a rigid line to tow in order to let the
rest of the world see that this was a legitimate ministry. I was the authority
figure of this ministry. Bikers and authority are usually not the best mix and
this was no different even in this Christian environment. Now my Dad was never a
“biker” and got his first motorcycle at 50 years of age to be with his son. My
Mom and Dad were in my ministry and I realized that they were parents to
everyone who never had a loving parent. When I was a kid I would have some of my
friends come over not to visit me, but to talk to my folks. I didn’t like it
then but looking back on my life, how blessed I was to have such loving parents
who could love beyond their own. My father was the confidant to everyone in the
group. I was the authority figure, and many would not come to me with their
problems, instead they always went to my parents. They also knew that whatever
was said to them never came back to me or anyone else. My Dad was a pillar in
the church and a confidant who “would never turn them in”. He was also the same
way with his eleven grandchildren.
Although my Dad had a hope in a wrong interpretation of a
personal prophecy he never let it dictate his daily life. He realized that if
this was going to happen it would be by the Lord’s direction and not anything he
could or would do in his own power. With this balance and living a daily walk in
obedience with the Lord, my Dad, just being himself fulfilled the prophecy. I
shared this with my Dad and I think he was a bit disappointed that he was not
going to do the things he hoped he would, but there was also a peace that maybe
he hadn’t failed the Lord after all. The next time my Dad went to the hospital
it was the last time. On January 17th 2000 my Dad heard the words from the Lord
that every Born again believer longs to hear, “Well done thou good and faithful
servant, enter into joy of your Lord.”
“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew
their strength; they shall
mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall
walk, and not faint.” Isa 40:31
What about you?
When God speaks to you, wait upon the Lord for further
understanding, The Lord will always confirm His will in a two-fold manner. Wait
for timing and discernment so that the revelation is able to produce the good
fruit intended, and not division or confusion. It may be true, but it may be
only for you or others in the right setting of time. Wait upon the Lord and do
not be a reactionary, God is never late and anything done in haste or strife is
never going to be right. And if you make a mistake, no one is going to stone you
today. (Romans 8:28), God can make it right with a humble spirit and willingness
to learn. Many times making mistakes is the only way to gain wisdom. So get over
yourself and press forward. When God speaks, listen, wait and then obey.
In Conclusion
It is my hope that I have provided some understanding of a
bigger picture which will help you to remain patient and walking in His love in
the midst of ridicule and the rejection you might be facing now. Our time to
minister this information is now in the small ways we can. The day will come
when no one can run away from this as it becomes public and forces everyone to
consider, “Who’s your Daddy” Aliens or God. Then your knowledge tempered by the
Holy Spirit will make you the pillar of strength for many and the victorious
warrior in the final big fight against the powers of darkness. But until then,
“Look up and know your redemption draws near.”
In His Service, Jim W.
