For Susan B and other interested Doves....I'm so glad you asked about why I feel it is necessary to study UFOs.  Do I expect to be in the Tribulation?  I certainly REALLY pray that I'm worthy to escape (Luke 21:36).  That's why I'm so eagerly "watching" not only what is going on in the world (many other of the wonderful Doves are giving me all the information I require, so I don't have to look for those things), but "watching" for the other things that most Christians don't have the heart (or the stomach) for.  When I see these things going on in the world, I pass on this information to the other members of the "body."  That's so the others don't have to study what I do.  It's "strong meat" doctrine, and one must be very well-grounded in God's word to handle it.  It's certainly not doctrine for "babes" in Christ, but they have to grow very rapidly in today's world.

 Also,  I have found th! at in studying this area, the Bible has shown many layers beneath it's basic teachings that are truly marvelous.  It's what God means by Proverbs 25:2.  This is my "work" into which the Holy Spirit has led me.  I obey II Tim. 2:15.  I want to understand what the "delusion" is in II Thess. 2:11.  This deception, I strongly believe, has to do with knowing what the UFOs are....and where do they come from.  Did you know that the U.S. Government has signed Treaties with them back in the 1950s, and probably before that?  Supposedly, the U.S. gets technology (like the Book of Enoch tells us happened back then), and the "aliens" get to abduct and experiment on some human beings from Earth.  Most of this information is suppressed by the government and the media.  One has to dig for years to find out simple, basic truths.  Is it biblical???  It most certainly is!!

Theses things (UFOs)are already happening in this world, and they have been for a long time.  Ever hear of Betty and Barney Hill?  Google their story.  Do you know what to do if you should find yourself in a situation where you encountered a UFO or the beings that are in them?  Others have....and I'll bet they wished they knew more about them!  This is the "work" God seems to have given me.  It doesn't scare me...it fascinates me!  Others MUST become aware of these things before the government decides to reveal them in their own way.  And, of course, we do know that the govenment has our best interests at heart, don't we?  Again, I bring up Proverbs 22:3.  Read it!!!

I don't even have to look up these scriptures because they are in my "heart."  I meditate on "Thy word have I hid in my heart, th! at I might not sin against thee.  Blessed are thou O LORD: teach m! e thy statutes."  Those words are from Psalm 119:11-12.  I KNOW what God says because what I need to know is inside me.  I talk to Him all day....I am never without Him and His words.  They sanctify me.

All the "meat" doctrine is supposed to be sequential to the "milk" doctrines of basic salvation.  But everyone is assigned their own area by the Holy Spirit.  He will show us things to come..John 16:13....IF we follow Him.  It's called "growing in grace," or sanctification.

Do you believe the bible tells us that there will come a day when people will be consuming (eating) their own children and each other??  Read Deuteronomy 28:53; II Kings 6:28-29; and Jeremiah 19:9, for just a few examples.  What causes this?  I want to know because God told us this will happen.  If He didn't want us to research ALL of this, He wouldn't have written it for us in His Word(s), and Jesus wouldn't have mentioned the days of N! oah.  But some (like me and Gerlinda) are led to know about these things...others prefer to not know.  Not knowing is not an option today.

I think this more than answers your question, Susan B.  If there is anything further you would like to know, I am prepared to answer.  Read I Peter 3:15-16...I am always prepared because God told me to be.

YsiC,
