Since its founding, The Satanic Temple has waged a highly active campaign to demand greater separation between church and state, and to challenge the privileged relationship Christianity has with government.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” Ephesians 6:12,13,16 (KJV)

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;” 2 Thessalonians 2:3 (KJV)

EDITOR’S NOTE: As the Laodicean Christian church continues on it’s self-defeating path of preaching the powerless ‘love gospel’, and looking for their ‘blessing’ promised them by charlatans like Joel Osteen, Lou Engle, Rick Warren, and Kenneth Copeland, the Satanic Temple is on the rise. The prophesied darkness is coming as the Church of Jesus Christ continues it’s falling away into apostasy. The war is real, the battle is hot and the time is short, to the fight, Christian!

Robert Eggers’ period horror film “The Witch” has been one of the surprise hits of 2016. It’s even gained a second wind since its February 23 release: the first weekend of April it played on 666 screens around the country, raking in an additional USD$465,000.

The tale of a Puritan family turning on each other as they attempt to root out the supernatural evil plaguing their farm, the film won Eggers the award for best director at Sundance – and even frightened horror master Stephen King.

The Satanic Temple of Detroit: Unveiling of Baphomet

GRAPHIC WARNING: This is HARD CORE Devil worship, and it took place in Detroit on July 25, 2015 at the unveiling of the Baphomet monument. This is the spirit that is now rising in America as Laodicean Christianity is powerless to stop it. Please be prayed up before viewing this.

But neither of these accolades has generated as much buzz as an endorsement from The Satanic Temple (TST), a satanic political movement that first appeared in 2013.

In December, TST and A24 studios began collaborating on a four-city tour called The Sabbat Cycle, which consisted of screenings of the film followed by politically driven satanic rituals. The stated goal of The Sabbat Cycle was to inspire a “satanic revolution.”

TST believes that the separation of church and state is currently under attack by radical religious conservatives. They also believe there is a silent majority that opposes this agenda, but remains too apathetic to do anything about it.

The Sabbat Cycle was an attempt to raise political awareness by piggybacking on “The Witch”’s appeal. This is part of larger PR model the group has used since its inception, in which the shocking and the frightening are used to lure media attention to their cause.

As a religion scholar, I find TST fascinating. Not only do their campaigns raise serious questions about the First Amendment and religious pluralism, they also challenge the public to think about what counts as a “religion.”

To learn more, I attended the Sabbat Cycle at its Austin stop, and spoke with attendees about their religious and political views.

Political movement, religion or both?

A cornerstone of their campaign has been tongue-in-cheek “stunts” intended to show how government institutions favor Christianity in ways that would never be tolerated for other religions.

Pastor Joel Osteen’s Full Sermon “The Power of ‘I Am'”

Pay attention, Christians, this is the Christian CRAP being preached to people that think they are going to take on the forces of darkness and win. In a battle between powerless Joel Osteen and his followers against the Satanic Temple and their followers, who do YOU think would win?

TST first made headlines in 2013, when it held a rally in Florida, ostensibly to congratulate Governor Rick Scott for passing a bill that would allow students to read “inspirational messages of their choosing” at assemblies and sporting events.

While Scott probably envisioned the law permitting Christian students to offer public prayers and Bible readings, it could not, constitutionally, specify what sort of “inspirational messsages” were allowed – including satanic messages. And so the rally featured a sign declaring, “Hail Satan! Hail Rick Scott!”

Whether or not TST is a “real” religion has been a subject of debate. But some members insist that while the movement is atheistic, the group, like other religions, has a shared set of values, concerns and symbols (like Satan as a symbol of rebellion).

Religion or not, no one can question TST’s appeal or its sincerity about its political goals.

Today TST has 17 chapters in the United States and Europe and claims an estimated 100,000 members – a figure based on the purchase of membership cards and various forms of online support.

Masters of media attention

TST chapters across the country have launched campaigns demanding the same religious rights and privileges afforded to Christianity.

These have included the creation of satanic coloring books for distribution in schools in Florida and Colorado; bids to erect satanic “nativity scenes” on government property in Florida, Michigan and Indiana; offering prayers to Satan at a high school football game in Seattle; and demanding that a monument to the Ten Commandments at the Oklahoma State Capitol be accompanied by a monument to Baphomet (a goat-headed idol associated with witches’ sabbaths).

The 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) reinforced the religious freedoms outlined in the First Amendment. When the Supreme Court ruled that RFRA applied only to the federal government and could not be applied to the states, many states passed their own versions of RFRA. Several of TST’s campaigns involve using RFRA laws to claim religious accommodations for satanists.

For example, since 2014 TST has invoked state RFRA laws in Michigan and Missouri to demand a religious exemption from laws dictating that those who seek an abortion need to review literature or endure a waiting period.

In January, TST’s Tucson chapter demanded that the Phoenix City Council include them in public prayers offered before their council meetings. The council responded with a new rule that only chaplains from the police and fire departments may offer the prayers before meetings. (TST has threatened to sue.)

Harvard Law Professor Noah Feldman has argued that James Madison would have supported the Tucson satanists. Madison was concerned that individual rights could be threatened by a “tyranny of the majority,” and saw laws guaranteeing individual rights as “paper barriers” that offered no real protection. Only a diverse coalition of minorities could effectively check a majority and protect individual freedom.

“We do not seek followers, but collaborators”

It was exactly this sort of coalition that TST spokeswoman Jex Blackmore hoped to forge through events like the Sabbat Cycle.

In Austin, Texas, Blackmore took the stage before a screening of “The Witch” at the Alamo Drafthouse and explained that the film was a “microcosm of a patriarchal theocratic society that results in satanic revolution.” In Blackmore’s reading of the film, the titular witch was driven to witchcraft by Puritan oppression.

Afterward I got to chat with Drafthouse employee and film buff Laird Jimenez about this assessment. He noted that “escaping patriarchy” is currently part of a cultural zeitgeist that includes films like Oscar-winner “Mad Max: Fury Road,” which depicts women escaping – and then overthrowing – a patriarchal warlord.

Following the screening, everyone migrated to a bar and music venue called The Sidewinder, where TST held their ritual. Members from the Detroit and San Antonio chapters began setting up and handing out satanic American flags painted in only black and white. I mingled with a small crowd of Satanic sympathizers and the curious. Leather jackets, tattoos and pentagrams were in abundance.

During the ritual, a speaker played an excerpt from a speech by Baptist pastor Dr. Jeff Owens, in which Owens warned his congregation, “Satan does not want you to do what he wants you to do. Satan wants you to do what you want to do.” (Other eyewitness accounts of the ritual can be found here and here.) Owens had been warning that Satan uses people’s pride and selfish desires against them, but the ritual imposed its own interpretation onto his message: To TST, Satan represents moral autonomy and personal responsibility.

Blackmore eventually appeared from beneath a hood and took to a podium to deliver what can only be described as a “satanic jeremiad.” She warned that Christian theocrats were taking over America and that those present – atheists, satanists, fans of heavy metal and punk music – were allowing it to happen: “There’s too much apathy and not enough resistance!”

She told the audience, “We do not seek followers, but collaborators.”

Afterward I spoke with some young people from the crowd. One explained that he was attracted to Satanism because “It’s about knowledge,” not dogma.

Another, Jonathan – who identified as a witch – seemed the most likely to be sympathetic to TST’s politics. He said that when he attended high school in Virginia Beach, his classmates targeted him for openly identifying as a Pagan. Someone even pretended to be him and called in bomb threats to his school. The events attracted the attention of Detective Don Rimer, a notorious “occult crime expert,” who confiscated all of Jonathan’s books on witchcraft as evidence. There was an attempt to forcibly commit Jonathan to a mental institution.

I asked Jonathan if he thought TST was really a religion.

“Definitely,” he said, “Some people treat Christianity as a hobby. But no one thinks it’s not a real religion.”

Can the satanists win?

As the event wound down, I was able to interview Blackmore. Like Marx, Blackmore saw her revolution as inevitable: the Christian Right would naturally drive people to rebel against it.

She told me that she’d recently met a French journalist who said that nothing like TST could happen in France. The French model of laicité – a much more ingrained version of America’s professed separation of church and state – leaves nothing to rebel against. By contrast, TST wants to challenge the popular belief that America is a “Christian nation.”

Many TST members and allies I spoke to described strict Christian upbringings. In Blackmore’s assessment, progressive cities like Austin are paradoxically the most apathetic about resisting the Christian Right because people in progressive cities feel they are unaffected by religion-influenced laws. Blackmore saw “The Witch” as an opportunity to get more people involved and hasten their political revolution.

But Jonathan pointed out that this dialectic can swing both ways: revolution begets counterrevolution. For example, in the 1970s, the New Christian Right formed, in part, as a response to the perceived excesses of the 1960s.

Likewise, there is a risk that an openly satanic presence in American politics will energize the very forces TST opposes. Right wing news sites such as Breitbart.com and LifeSiteNewshave given TST heavy coverage precisely because their rhetoric can be used as fodder for antiabortion activists.

Conservative voices have claimed TST “proves” what they have said all along – that God is with them and their political opponents are literally demonic.

In many ways, TST is the heir to the “New Left” of the 1960s and such figures as Abbie Hoffman and Allen Ginsberg. Events like the “exorcism” of the Pentagon in 1967 demonstrated an understanding of ritual and semiotics: the strategic use of religious symbols could change what the Pentagon represented to the public.

But the New Left also intentionally straddled the line between prank and sincerity in order to draw media attention to their cause. It is contested today what effect the New Left actually had toward the goal of ending the Vietnam War and it is similarly unclear what effect TST might have on America’s political center of gravity.

Nonetheless, millennials now outnumber baby boomers. They’re a more diverse generation than their predecessors, and major changes to the political landscape seem inevitable.

Still, supporters like Jonathan remain skeptical of TST’s true viability.

“It’s not that they’re wrong,” he said, “But this is Austin, and look how many people came out? And how many people here are actually going to do anything?” source

THE BIBLE BELIEVERS SUNDAY SERVICE: The Point Of No Return

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Great White Throne Is Coming, the Books Will Be Opened, and Every Sinner Without Jesus Christ Will Face the Second Death With No Hope of Deliverance or Escape

The Great White Throne Judgment is the last courtroom, the final reckoning and the ultimate point of no return for the unsaved dead. Everyone standing there has already rejected God’s salvation, and no one will leave that throne justified. The books will be opened, every hidden work exposed and every excuse stripped away as sinners are judged according to their works. Death and hell will surrender their prisoners, proving that hell is not the final destination but the temporary holding place of the lost until judgment. After sentencing, they will be cast into the lake of fire, which the Bible calls the second death. There will be no advocate, no appeal, no repentance and no second chance—only the righteous judgment of a HOLY God. This will be the point of no return.

“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.” Revelation 20:11 (KJB)

This terrifying reality is why we preach the gospel of the grace of God with urgency. During this present Church Age, salvation is freely offered to every sinner who will place his faith in the shed blood, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are not attempting merely to improve society, reform human behavior or make people more religious; we are warning souls to flee from the wrath to come. Every gospel tract, street sermon, missionary journey and personal witness is an opportunity to reach someone before death closes the door forever. The Great White Throne reminds the saved that evangelism is not optional religious activity—it is an urgent rescue mission. The time to believe is now, because there will be no gospel invitation given when the books are opened.

The Bible Believers Sunday Service: The Point Of No Return

The Point Of No Return

I. This Is the Final Judgment of the Unsaved Dead

The Great White Throne takes place after the thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ. It must not be confused with the Judgment Seat of Christ, where saved members of the Body of Christ have their service examined for reward.

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10 (KJB)

The people standing before the Great White Throne are called “the dead.” These are the lost dead of every generation, resurrected to receive their final judgment.

“Small and great” means that earthly position will mean nothing.
Kings will stand beside beggars.
Religious leaders will stand beside atheists.
The famous will stand beside the forgotten.
Every Christ-rejecting sinner will stand personally before God.

Death is not the end. Every lost person will eventually stand before the Lord Jesus Christ. This doctrine is declared in both Testaments.

“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.” Isaiah 45:22,23 (KJB)

“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11 (KJB)

II. There Will Be No Place to Hide

The earth and heaven flee from the face of the One sitting upon the throne. The condemned sinner will have nowhere to run, nowhere to hide and no one behind whom he can conceal himself.

“The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.” Proverbs 15:3 (KJB)

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.” Hebrews 4:11,12 (KJB)

At this judgment there will be:

No defense attorney.
No excuse accepted.
No plea bargain offered.
No opportunity for repentance.
No second chance to believe the gospel.
No appeal from the sentence.

The Great White Throne is the final point of no return.

III. The Books Will Be Opened

“And the books were opened” shows that God maintains a perfect and complete record. Nothing has been forgotten, overlooked or erased. None of it.

Those books contain the record of every:

Sin committed.
Lie spoken.
Evil thought entertained.
Opportunity rejected.
Gospel invitation refused.
Work performed in rebellion against God.

People may hide their sins from family, government, employers and churches, but no one can hide anything from God. All their sin will be paid for, and must be paid for, by themselves for eternity in the Lake of Fire.

IV. The Book of Life Will Be Opened

Alongside the books of works, God opens “the book of life.” This book settles the eternal question. The books demonstrate the sinner’s guilt. The book of life reveals that the sinner never received God’s salvation. The final issue is not whether someone performed religious works, joined a church, received baptism or tried to live a moral life. The determining issue is whether that person belonged to Jesus Christ.

“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:15 (KJB)

No one standing at the Great White Throne will be justified by works. Their works will determine the measure of their judgment, but works cannot produce salvation. We are all born in the image of Adam, and only the New Birth can, and will, fix that!

“And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:” Genesis 5:3 (KJB)

“Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” John 3:7 (KJB)

V. Hell Will Deliver Up Its Dead

“And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.” Revelation 20:13 (KJB)

Hell is not the final destination of the lost. It is the present place of conscious punishment where the lost dead await final judgment. At the Great White Throne, hell will surrender its inhabitants. They will be bodily resurrected, brought before God, judged and cast into the lake of fire.

The biblical order is:

The lost person dies.
The soul goes to hell.
The lost dead are resurrected.
They stand before the Great White Throne.
They are judged according to their works.
They are cast into the lake of fire.

VI. The Lake of Fire Is the Second Death

“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.” Revelation 20:14 (KJB)

The first death separates the soul from the body. The second death is eternal separation from God in the lake of fire.

The second death is:

Conscious.
Final.
Irreversible.
Eternal.
The righteous judgment of God against sin.

The lake of fire was not invented by medieval religion. It is the unmistakable teaching of the word of God. Jesus Christ warned about it, and Revelation identifies it as the final destination of everyone whose name is not found in the book of life. In our day, Laodiceans like Kirk Cameron, Rob Bell, John Stott, Brandan Robertson, David Bentley Hart and many others all preach either a universalism salvation or annihilationism, instead of what the word of God so clearly proclaims to be true about the place called Hell.

“We think of God as a just God, he is a just God and we believe that the punishment should fit the crime. Exactly, and so, if the punishment was cruel and unusual punishment that went far beyond the severity of the crime, that would no longer be just. After 10,000 years of anguish and pain and torment and darkness, you’re not one day closer to finding relief. You’re not even one second closer after a billion years. You’re not one second closer to the end.” – Kirk Cameron

What Cameron overlooks is that the sinner has sinned against a righteous and holy ETERNAL God who never dies, so the punishment must be eternal. Cameron’s estimation of who God is is far too small, so he rejects eternal conscious torment as the Bible teaches.

VII. This Is Why We Preach the Gospel of Grace

The Great White Throne explains the urgency of evangelism. We do not preach merely to improve people’s temporary lives. We preach because lost souls are heading toward an eternal judgment from which there will be no escape.

The gospel for the Church Age is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ:

“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” 1 Corinthians 15:3,4 (KJB)

Salvation is not found through human works, religious rituals or personal goodness. It is received by believing the gospel and trusting the finished work of Jesus Christ.

This is the ministry committed to the apostle Paul:

“But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.” Acts 20:24 (KJB)

Death will no longer threaten us:

“The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” 1 Corinthians 15:26 (KJB)

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:51-57 (KJB)

Application

To the Saved

Remember what Jesus Christ saved you from. Keep it personal.
Stop treating salvation casually, it’s literally life or death.
Pray for lost family members and friends.
Support missionaries and gospel-preaching ministries.
Hand out tracts, witness publicly and preach the gospel plainly.
Never substitute politics, social reform or religious activity for the gospel.

To the Preacher

Preach the whole counsel of God. Tell people about the love of God, but do not hide the wrath of God. Preach heaven, but also warn about hell and the lake of fire. A preacher who refuses to warn sinners about judgment is not showing compassion. Biblical compassion tells people the truth while there is still time to be saved.

“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.” Hebrews 13:17 (KJB)

“My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.” James 3:1 (KJB)

To the Lost

You are not promised another opportunity. You may dismiss the gospel today, but you will not dismiss the Judge at the Great White Throne.

“For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” 2 Corinthians 6:2 (KJB)

Do not trust your works, church membership, baptism, morality or sincerity. Trust the shed blood and finished work of Jesus Christ.

Closing Challenge

The Great White Throne is coming. The books will be opened. Every lost sinner will be found guilty, and everyone whose name is not found in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire.

For the saved, the question is: Whom are you warning?

For the preacher, the question is: Are you still preaching the gospel plainly?

For the lost, the question is: Will you trust Jesus Christ now, or meet Him later as your Judge?

There will be no gospel invitation at the Great White Throne. There will be no altar call, no opportunity to repent and no second chance to believe. The time to be saved is now.

Five Thousand Years Ago, Did Someone Carve The Stargazer Figurine To Permanently Memorialize A Visit With Alien Beings From Outer Space?

Published

August 15, 2026

Geoffrey Grider

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Could The Five Thousand-Year-Old Stargazer Be An Ancient Portrait Of Alien Visitors Who Descended From The Heavens And Were Worshipped By Early Civilizations As Gods?

What if the face we have come to associate with space aliens is not a modern invention at all? What if it is a memory? Carved from white marble thousands of years ago, the mysterious figure known as The Stargazer possesses one of the most immediately recognizable silhouettes imaginable: an enormous hairless head, a long narrow neck, a small angular body and a face that looks startlingly similar to modern depictions of extraterrestrial visitors.

“And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.” Zechariah 5:2 (KJB)

The Cleveland Museum of Art dates its Stargazer to approximately 3000 BC and identifies it as a female figure from ancient Anatolia. The deeply incised pubic triangle identifies the figure as female, but everything above the waist looks strikingly unlike an ordinary human being. Its maker deliberately exaggerated the head, minimized the body and tilted the face upward toward the heavens. That upward gaze gave the figure its modern name, but it may also contain the key to its ancient identity. The Stargazer appears to be looking toward the place from which its subject came. Similar figures belong to what archaeologists call the Kilia type, named after the Turkish village where examples were discovered. Archaeological work at Kulaksızlar in western Anatolia uncovered evidence that these strange marble figures were being manufactured between approximately 4500 and 4250 BC. That places the tradition long before the great monuments of dynastic Egypt and deep within the shadowy opening chapters of recorded human civilization. Imagine what that possibility means.

Thousands of years before science-fiction movies, television programs, flying-saucer magazines or alleged alien-abduction accounts, ancient craftsmen were carving pale, hairless humanoids with oversized heads, elongated necks and strange faces. The resemblance to the beings now called “Greys” is not hidden in some obscure detail. It is the first thing the modern observer notices. Perhaps the familiar alien image was not invented in the twentieth century. Perhaps it was rediscovered.

WE HAVE THE GREATEST SELECTION OF BOOKS TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND UFOS AND ALIENS FROM A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE, CLICK TO ORDER!!

Ancient artists did not always create fantasy. They also recorded kings, warriors, animals, gods and important events from the world around them. If early people encountered beings descending from the sky, they would not have possessed words such as “extraterrestrial,” “interdimensional” or “advanced nonhuman intelligence.” They would have called them gods, messengers or visitors from the heavens. They would have feared them. They would have obeyed them. They may even have worshipped them. The Stargazer could represent one of those visitors.

Its tiny body and enormous head suggest a being whose intelligence, rather than physical strength, was its defining characteristic. Its upward-turned face connects it visually with the sky. Its female form may indicate that these beings appeared in more than one sex—or that the ancient sculptor was representing a particular visitor remembered by the surrounding community. Most intriguing of all, these figures were apparently important enough to be reproduced, transported and deliberately preserved. This was not a momentary doodle scratched into a wall. Marble required labor, skill and purpose. Whoever carved The Stargazer intended its likeness to survive. And survive it did.

The modern world looks at this ancient face and immediately sees an alien because, on some deep cultural level, we already recognize the form. That recognition raises an extraordinary possibility: humanity may have encountered such beings before, and the strange visitors appearing in modern UFO accounts may be returning actors in a drama that began near the dawn of civilization. The King James Bible provides a framework for understanding how such encounters could occur. Scripture never teaches that human beings are the only intelligent creatures in existence. It describes angels, cherubim, principalities, powers, spiritual rulers and sons of God operating beyond the ordinary human realm.

Some could appear so completely human that their true identity remained hidden.

“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Hebrews 13:2 (KJB)

Genesis records something even more astonishing. Before the Flood, beings identified as the sons of God entered the human world and produced offspring with the daughters of men:

“There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.” Genesis 6:4 (KJB)

The Bible therefore presents direct interaction between human beings and nonhuman intelligences as historical reality. It describes a populated supernatural realm capable of entering, influencing and even physically interfering with conditions upon the earth. What modern culture calls “outer space,” the Bible calls the heavens and high places.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12 (KJB)

If beings descended from those high places in antiquity, early civilizations would naturally have interpreted them as gods. Their knowledge would have appeared supernatural. Their ability to travel through the heavens would have looked divine. Their arrival could have given birth to entire systems of idolatry built around the worship of beings that were powerful, ancient and nonhuman—but were not God. The Stargazer may be the preserved face of one of those beings.

That possibility also casts the modern UFO phenomenon in a radically different light. Perhaps humanity is not approaching its first contact with intelligent visitors. Perhaps we are being prepared for renewed contact with beings that have interacted with mankind before. Their return could be presented as the greatest revelation in human history. They may claim to have created mankind, guided ancient civilizations, inspired world religions and returned at this decisive moment to lead humanity into its next stage of evolution. The world would fall at their feet almost overnight.

The Bible warns that supernatural appearance is not proof of divine authority:

“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” 2 Corinthians 11:14 (KJB)

The apostle Paul went even further, warning Christians to reject any messenger from heaven who attempts to replace the gospel of Jesus Christ:

“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8 (KJB)

The Stargazer may therefore be far more than an enigmatic piece of prehistoric art. It may represent an ancient encounter, a visitor from the heavens and the face of a being remembered as a god by people who possessed no other language with which to describe it. Its head is turned upward. Its eyes are fixed upon the heavens. Its strange body resembles the alien visitors of modern imagination with uncanny precision. Perhaps The Stargazer was never looking at the stars, perhaps it was looking home.

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

President Trump started a war with Iran that remains wholly unfinished, and that is allowing Tehran to turn defeat into a resounding victory that is energizing them

The fact that Iran’s top military commander Ahmad Vahidi can stand before the Islamic world and boast that Tehran has brought the United States “to its knees” tells you everything you need to know about President Trump’s claim that America had “finished the job.” The job was not finished. Iran was hit, Iran was damaged and Iran was bloodied, but the Islamic regime was left standing—and now it is transforming survival into victory. President Trump has put America in a very dangerous position by not eliminating the Iranian regime, and it is already coming back to haunt him.

“And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.” Zechariah 14:9 (KJB)

Ahmad Vahidi is not speaking like the commander of a defeated nation, he is speaking like the leader of an emboldened Islamic revolution. He is openly declaring that Iran’s battlefield performance proves “Islam can be made to rule the world.” Those are not the words of a government that has been neutralized. Those are the words of a regime that believes it endured America’s best shot and lived to continue the war. Trump attacked Iran’s military machinery but left the revolutionary engine running. The IRGC still commands, the missiles are still flying, and the Strait of Hormuz remains a battlefield. American forces and Gulf infrastructure remain under attack. Tehran’s Islamic leadership remains in power, issuing threats, preaching conquest and promising the arrival of worldwide Islamic government. That is not mission accomplished, that’s an unfinished war.

AS BIBLE BELIEVERS, WE ARE CALLED TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO ALL THE WORLD AND THAT INCLUDES THE MUSLIMS, CLICK TO VIEW OUR SELECTION ON ISLAM!!

Iran does not need to defeat the United States conventionally to claim victory. It only needs to survive. Every additional day the regime remains standing allows Tehran to tell the Muslim world that the Great Satan attacked with everything it had and failed to destroy the Islamic Republic. Vahidi is already turning that survival into a recruiting message for jihadists, militias and Islamic revolutionaries around the world. This is the price of fighting a war halfway. Infrastructure can be rebuilt. Missile launchers can be replaced. Nuclear facilities can be reconstructed underground. Commanders can be promoted to replace those who were killed. As long as the Islamic regime and the IRGC remain intact, the threat remains intact. From a military persepctive, that spells potential disaster for America.

Iran’s leaders are not hiding their objective, they are proclaiming it before the entire world. Islamic rule, Islamic conquest and the overthrow of the existing world order. Tehran believes this war has opened the gates for a global Islamic uprising. America’s political leaders should listen carefully, because Iran is telling us exactly what it intends to do. Trump did not finish the job, he postponed the next phase of it. Iran will rebuild, rearm and return unless the Islamic Republic is permanently dismantled. Anything less merely gives Tehran time to prepare for the next round while presenting its survival as proof that Allah has delivered America into its hands. President Trump, do your job and finish this war with military victory. Anything less is unacceptable, and unAmerican.
