Friday, August 07, 2020: Final Events I: Introduction
Author Redfern explains that Ray Boeche, an Anglican priest and Rector at Celebration Anglican Church in Lincoln, Nebraska, is also the founder and former director of the Fortean Research Center. He is as well a former Nebraska State Director for the Mutual UFO Network. In 1991, Boeche, after being contacted, met with two United States Department of Defense physicists in regards to the subject of UFOs. (I).
Redfern learned about these meetings when he met Boeche in 2006 and then interviewed him in 2007. (I). The book states Boeche had a shorter, and then a longer meeting with the two physicists from the Department of Defense. (I). This led to Boeche being 'plunged headlong into a strange and surreal world of classified Department of Defense projects, secret meetings and follow-up dialogues...'(2).
What was presented to Boeche from these Department of Defense physicists was descriptions of NHE's or Non-Human Entities, which many within UFO research and analysis reason are aliens (extraterrestrials, my add). (2). However, in contrast, certain persons within the Department of Defense reason these are 'deceptive minions of Satan.' (2).
August 27, 2020
The two men Boeche met with were physicists (2). They were both Christians and while working for the US Department of Defense, an aspect of their work was to contacts NHE's. (2). The next part of this text is revealing:
Quote:
'And part of this effort was to try and control the NHE's and use their powers in military weapons applications and in intelligence areas, such as remote-viewing and psychotronic weapons.' (2).
These two Department of Defense, physicists reasoned the NHE's 'were not extraterrestrial at all; they believed they were some sort of demonic entities.' (2). Further the scientists stated that all the benevolent or beneficial contacts with these entities were 'tainted'. (2). Eventually the results of the contacts worked out to be 'bad'. (2). The scientists therefore viewed these encounters as demonic as opposed to extraterrestrial. (3). From a biblical context, the entities were viewed as deceivers of humanity. (3).
The two scientists that held to Christian faith and philosophy reasoned that others with the US Department of Defense were 'being lulled into a false sense of security' (4). The text explains that the supposed technology provided by the NHE's, such as psychotronic weapons and remote viewing was not really being done by the Department of Defense, but the entities 'were always the causal factor'. (4).
Opinion
I am not a UFO: Unidentified Flying Objects or NHE: Non-Human Entities, expert. I make no dogmatic claims on the subject, or on the particular existence of such entities, but I will defend reasonable theology and reasonable theistic philosophy of religion. This is a book review.
I am just beginning the review of this text, but if the Department of Defense scientists are correct that these entities were (are) demonic and therefore multidimensional/extradimensional as opposed to extraterrestrial; deception in acts and actions, from these entities, is indeed to be expected. Human beings, especially the unregenerate (John 3, Titus 3, 1 Peter, for the regenerate) do not typically significantly understand the supernatural realm. Or if they have an intellectual, but not regenerate understanding, do not navigate properly, the supernatural realm. The demonic entities, as do God's angels, have significant knowledge of the supernatural realm and the natural realm. As demonic entities, the fallen angels (2 Peter 2, Revelation 12: 7-9) serve Satan in both supernatural and natural realms. Angels serve the triune God, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit in both supernatural and natural realms. The regenerate in contrast to the unregenerate, have been enlightened by God and embrace the atoning and resurrection work of God the Son, applied to them.
Demonic entities have the upper hand in any dealings with the Department of Defense or any other human entity that does not embrace the power of Almighty God through the gospel for protection from the powers of darkness. A key is to humbly as finite and sinful humanity, seek the biblical God as opposed to seeking human knowledge and wisdom, alone, while interacting with extraterrestrial or extradimensional entities which too are finite. The entities as finite, are not eternal. If these entities are not under direct submission to the eternal, infinite, God, and have rebelled against God, they are tainted by evil.

Matthew 6:13

Ephesians 6:11
11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
2 Thessalonians 3:3
3 But the Lord is faithful, [a]and He will strengthen and protect you [b]from the evil one.

James 4:7
7 Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
1 John 5:19
19 We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
World = κόσμος = cosmos
Here κόσμος appears to be not only our world system, but also our planet and universe. In other words, wherever humanity has dominion, Satanic beings are also operating.
HELPS Word-studies
2889 kósmos (literally, "something ordered") – properly, an "ordered system" (like the universe, creation); the world. [The English term "cosmetic" is derived from 2889 /kósmos, i.e. the order ("ensemble") used of treating the face as a whole.]
