Hi John and Doves,
The more I ponder on the strangeness of the timing for this moon mission, the more I am reminded of Isaiah 14: 13-14. Speaking of Satan, it says, "You have said in your heart, "I will ascend to the heavens. I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds. I will make myself like the Most High".
I have linked the whole chapter of Isaiah 14 for context, as this is about the end times. I may be way off base with this connection but if I'm not, Satan is about to lose his access to the heavens. Is this grossly expensive moon mission an attempt at retaining access to the first heaven? With the threat of nuclear annihilation hanging over our planet, are the powers-that-be seeking out some sort of escape route?
