Alien Encounters

Who built the Pyramid of Giza, Stonehenge and the myriad of other amazing structures from the distant past scattered around the globe? Were they built by the same beings that constructed the "face" on the planet Mars? And if they were, does that indicate that they are somehow related to the ongoing UFO sightings and the beings flying them? Internationally known evangelical Christian and teacher Chuck Missler examines these questions and many more in this in-depth study of one of the most provocative and intriquing subjects found within the pages of the Bible. Chuck approaches the subject in a multi-disciplinary manner as any good teacher would, incorporating the Protestant understanding of the Biblical text with ancient mythological beliefs and many of the new, far-reaching discoveries and theories of modern science. Hyperspace, multi-dimensionality, myth and legend, along with important archeological findings all merge with the Biblical text revealing a new, expanded understanding of prophecy, fallen angels, celestial and terrestial genetics and the realm of demons. Yes, this is a Christian book containing the usual evangelical message at the end. Be that as it may, there is alot of valuable information within for the Christian and non-Christian alike. Note: A condensed version of Chuck Missler's book is also available on VHS video tape and a two audio cassette pack, both listed under the title, 'Return of the Nephilim.'

Alien Encounters is the single best book on the UFO Phenomena I have ever read, and I have read at least 100 books on the subject (hyek's, Valle's, Hopkins, Striber's etc.,). All aspects of the UFO Phenomena are covered, from encounters of the 1st, 2ed, 3ed and 4th kind; to an examination of the History of the Phenomena; to what the Bible has to say about the subject. I don't want to get into the conclusions that Missler and Eastman reach, But what I do what to say is if you are interested in the UFO Phenomena, get this book: if you have seen a UFO, get this Book: If you believe you have been abducted, get this book: Also all Christians should read this book. Let me just say we all need to get educated about what may be a coming gobel deception and the cause of the coming apostey.

..To believe in UFO's or not to Believe?And, if you believe, what can you believe?There are many good UFO books that are very well researched, and full of facts and information and photos. So much so that it is difficult to dismiss UFO's regardless of our underlying beliefs. But, most of the reports and concepts of UFO's cannot fit with the basic principles of physics -which are the same throughout the universe. Most other books fail to research and offer support in this area rendering their claims less than believable. What is different and exceptionally interesting and valuable about this book is that it takes a 180 degree turn to review this information from a completely different paradigm - UFO's could be from an alternative dimension. From this multi-dimensional vantage point, many of the odd facts, and abduction and other reports on UFO's fit together better and are more easily accepted. It also touches upon some of the laws of physics to show why these laws are at issue and therefore must be dealt with.Going a step further, Missler and Eastman then review ancient passages in an attempt to determine if this multi-dimensional paradigm can fit with Jewish, or Christian scriptural beliefs. It appears that their research really pays off well with a different paradigm that supports all of the disparate and anomalous UFO reports.Of course there have been many speculations regarding various UFO reports, and in turn, Missler/Eastman do make certain leaps in possible interpretations of come biblical passages (which they readily identify as such). But, overall, the paradigm seems to have greater footing than any other UFO model I have read about.From this book emerges the following: we cannot explain away UFO's - there is just too many reports that cannot be explained; and, most UFO reports do not fit with the principles of physics as we know them.; therefore an alternative paradigm is required in order to better understand UFO phenomena. The Missler / Eastman paradigm seems to best pull the facts together as we believe we know them.Note for New Agers: Don't avoid this book, or be afraid of it because it concludes with a Christian perspective on UFO. The book is not steeped in "hell fire and brimstone" or sermons. Rather, it is a serious book that takes a deep look at anomalous and challenging UFO phenomena. I would be interested in hearing from others where they objectively see the flaws of this model, as well as what model fits better.

A very intelligent man once said, "Read the Old Testament like those for whom it was written - The Jews." Missler does a very good job of just that. Having at one time been a "New Age" devotee, I am thrilled to find this literature. For my fellow reviewers who find this book to be "stretching the truth" or part of a "propaganistic" agenda, I encourage you to study the old testament like a person of Jewish faith, and then judge the truth for yourself. Genesis and Revelation are more closely tied than an uneducated gentile can comprehend, and Missler's illustrations are indeed very valid. As a science fiction fanatic, and a "technology junkee," I must profess profound thankfulness to authors such as Missler (under the guidance of Jesus), who have once again pulled me "closer into the fold." Jesus said that there will be many "false prophets who will appear and decieve many people," and that "false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles to decieve the elect." In our technology addicted society, anyone who provides us answers or tempts us with the offer of "knowledge," (much like the serpent in the Garden of Eden) will receive our admiration and trust. Have you ever asked yourself, "How can we possibly unite under one person? We are just too different to agree." But what if that "person" came from the stars, "explained" our Bible, solved our problems, and claimed to either "know" or in fact "be" Jesus Christ - would we follow? Would you? (If you think I am reaching for this, read any New Age text on aliens.) This book leads to much thought and should be read by all. I can only suggest that you know Satan and his disguises, but first you must know yourself - for he knows you very well.

Missler and Eastman's book is an excellent look at the UFO phenominon from a Christian point of view. They begin by spending several chapters establishing that there is something more to many (though not all, of course) of the UFO sightings and abduction stories. Only after they have done this do they go on to analyze the problem and propose an End Time scenario. At that point, the book is very typical of Missler's work. For those of you unfamiliar with him, that means that he goes well beyond the beaten path. The authors propose some rather fantastic scenarios as to how UFOs might play into the fulfillment of End Time prophecy. They do so with a kind of wild abandon, but at the same time backing up their assertions with Scripture and softening them with a wry sense of humor. Many will be put off or even offended (for various reasons) as to their conclusions, but even if you think you will be one of those, the book is well worth reading anyway. At the very least, you will find your perceptions stretched, your mind challenged, and (if you are fair) yourself having the need to dig into Scripture to try to disprove the authors' conclusions. If you are not a Christian but are interested in UFOs, I suggest that you pick this book up anyway. Again, you may not like the author's conclusions, but you won't be bored. If you enjoy this book or this subject, I would also recommend UFO: End-Time Delusion by David Allen Lewis and Robert Shreckhise.
