The New Phoenix Lights UFO Four Minute Video - Hoax?

This video is not only amazing for it's clarity but one of the comments made by one of the children watching the event. Out of the mouths of babes: "Maybe it's a warning sign!". In two of the recent videos we have posted, the children have shown a sense of fear or foreboding associated with the objects. We have to wonder if they are sensing something significant.? It is our feeling that we may be near some larger event...but, we could be wrong. Ironic that a great unveiling might come from comments made in the background audio of an amateur video.

It's all a HOAX according to a local Phoenix television station. If indeed that is the case then why aren't local, state and federal officials seeking the arrest of this man who unleashed a potential fire threat over a densely populated area? Certainly road flares tied to helium balloons would also present a threat to aircraft flying over the city! We'll follow up, but something is a little bit fishy about the "hoaxer" coming forward and admitting to committing a potential crime.

Everyone Is Looking Up!

The skies are coming to life these days and many are craning their necks, pointing their cameras at the heavens while prophesying from their computer keyboards: something is happening, but what? Many are seeing fast moving orbs that appear on camera for only seconds. Many are obsessed with contrails, or as some call them chem-trails, around which and through which they are filming these fast-moving orbs. The following video is an example:



Many of these videographers seem to feel a responsibility, a duty to expose whatever it is that is happening. Take for example this compilation from a set of videos coming out of the New York City area.



You may have heard of the once famous Prophet Yahweh who summoned UFOs in Las Vegas. Now, he has a prodigée in New York who calls himself ProphetEzikel. He too seems to feel he has some special connection with the orbs in the sky, that he is a partner in some sort of revelation.




There are a plethora of these orb videos all over YouTube. Some posters are even claiming to capture these mysterious orbs with infrared and/or night vision technology. The obsession seems to be more than just a few kooks trying to get famous by posting their questionable UFO videos on YouTube. They are filming objects that are very similar. They have a genuine belief that they are part of something important. It is as if they are being called to be a part of an event, part of a revelation. Are these the false prophets warned about in the Bible or are they just part of some giant coincidence?

Interesting Objects Filmed Over New Zealand

The skies above the globe seem to be swimming with objects these days and this video is very similar to many we have seen recently.



According to the videographer: "I filmed these 2 unusual objects above Christchurch City in New Zealand, they are very high and the digital zoom distorts them sometimes and shaky hand, but there are some very clear shots of the second object tumbling and eratic movements through clouds, sometimes it seems to dissapear and return in 1 video frame and change shape and white to black."

Interesting, the poster calls himself "signalfuture".

New York City Man Sees UFOs and Dark Days Ahead

In our daily search for UFO videos, we stumbled upon the sightings of a man in New York City. What stood out to us was not so much the videos themselves but the reactions to them by the witnesses. We contacted the man who uses the moniker ProphetEzikel and here is his response verbatim:

"Peace in the name of the most high. Thank you for your interest , i am about 50 ufo's past the point of 'doubt' ..... what i and my family have been seeing are UFO's and i am a witness appointed to bring video testimony to the world. I am not a fake Prophet either , i am 32 and in my short time here I have done a few supernatrual miricales and i often get visions and dreams of many hidden secrets. I am chosen to be a raw source for ufo sightings to the world and in the next few months I will be relating messages from the beings sent from God. Now i have seen many diffrent kinds of ufo's and i still havent seen them all yet , i will be doing a special on rods too because they are in many of my videos. I usually catch rods on film and dont even realize them till days later so in a little while i will do a special focusing on rods. I need a better camcorder so that i can show more detail of the amazing ufo's that i have been summoning lately , so if you know anyone who can donate a good camcorder to help me film them please ask them for me. I can get them on film anytime and with a good camera i can show a stable clear image which i will upload everyday right here on Youtube for the world to witness.These are dark times for the inhabitants of the Earth and people are praying for many things , but God has sent his signs and I will make sure the people see them . PEACE TO YOU . "


Here are a couple of the videos, if you would like to see more visit his YouTube page to see them all.





As always, keep an open mind...but not TOO open.
The Apocalypse Times

Chastisement of the Church, The Unknown Prophecy of Elizabeth Canori Mora

Elizabeth Canori Mora had a stark vision of the future, vivid and horrifying, and it contained something quite rare, i.e. open criticism of the church itself. Elizabeth was born in Rome on 21 November 1774. In 1801 a mysterious illness brought her near death. She lived a life full of heartbreaks, suffering and disappointment and yet maintained a spirit of giving and helping others. She fell deathly ill and was miraculously cured. Subsequently, she had her first mystical experience. She wrote them down in hundreds of pages of personal visions that remain guarded in the archives of a group called the Trinitarian Fathers in Rome. Someone got hold of this nearly unknown tome of frightening prophecy and posted an article in The May, 2002 issue of a Brazilian magazine Catolicismo.

While many might characterize such reproach aimed at church hierarchy as a call to return to what are considered “conservative” ideas, a plea to return the church to traditions of old. We make the argument that many of today's institutionalized religions are full of liars, thieves, rapists, heretics and downright apostates. All you have to do is pick up a any newspaper and you're likely to find an article featuring the debauchery of a local church leader. Churches have become little more than social and business networking hubs in many cases. Some have become huge, powerful financial behemoths wielding their influence much like robber barons once did. The simple love and forgiveness taught by a man like Christ has been hammered into a sword of fear, cutting into the hearts of men and bleeding them of their hope, then cutting at their pockets to swindle them of their money. While much of what Elizabeth's visions contain smack of church propaganda, some of her frightening predictions point to what we feel is the real problem with idea of God, spirit and love these days: THE INSTITUTION OF THE CHURCH ITSELF.

Of note is a vision she received on Christmas Eve of 1813. She was transported to a place of glowing light where countless beings stood in adoration before a simple manger. The tiny, baby Jesus signaled her to come to his side and as she drew near she observed Him soaking in his own blood. In Elizabeth's own words:

“Just the thought of it fills me with horror. But at the same time I understood the reason for such shedding of blood was the bad habits of many priests and religious who do not behave according to their state in life [emphasis added] and the bad education given to children by their fathers, mothers and others entrusted with this duty. They, who should increase the spirit of the Lord in the hearts of others by their good example, instead mortally persecute Him with their bad conduct and teachings.”

February 24, 1814. she “…saw many ministers of the Lord who rob each other and furiously tear off the sacred vestments. I saw the sacred altars despoiled by the very ministers of God.”

March, 22, 1814, while praying for the Pope she “…saw him surrounded by wolves who plotted to betray him…I saw the Sanhedrin of wolves which surrounded the Pope (Pius VII), and two angels weeping…when I asked them why they were sad and lamenting, looking upon Rome with eyes full of compassion they responded, ‘Wretched city, ungrateful people, the justice of God will chastise you.’”[emphasis added]

On January 16, 1815, “In terror I saw the blazing lightening bolts of Divine Justice fall about me. I saw buildings collapsing in ruins. Cities, regions and the whole world fell into chaos. One heard nothing but countless weak voices calling out for mercy. Countless people will be killed.”

After an horrible chastisement occurs in which all the world suffers St. Peter himself will:

“choose a new pope. All the Church will be reordered according to the true dictates of the holy Gospel. The religious orders will be reestablished and the homes of Christians will become homes imbued with religion.

“So great will be the fervor and zeal for the glory of God that everything will promote love of God and neighbor. The triumph, glory and honor of the Catholic Church will be established in an instant. She will be acclaimed, venerated and esteemed by all. All will resolve to follow Her, recognizing the Vicar of Christ as the Supreme Pontiff.”

Love of neighbor...how will we get that back? It won't be easy it seems because we've been lead astray.

Is Medjugorje Moving To Close?

Perhaps the Marian apparitions at Medjugorje are simmering to a boiling point as the latest revelation we received via e-mail contained an odd disclaimer:

"I have never [emphasis added] seen Our Lady address us in this manner. She extended her hands towards us and with her hands extended in this way, she said."

The decades long saga of Medjugorje is complicated involving no less than six visionaries who are receiving messages from the Holy Mother at various intervals and have been doing so since the phenomenon started in back in 1981 in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The messages themselves are straightforward, simple and, for the most part, positive. One can sign up to receive e-mail alerts containing the revelations at the official Medjugorje site. All has not been revealed to the public, however, as each of the six visionaries have been given a series of ten secrets, some are still receiving their allotment of ten secrets and only one of what will be a total sixty secrets has been revealed to the public. This secret warns:

"Our Lady has promised to leave a supernatural, indestructable [sic], and visible sign on the mountain where she first appeared. Our Lady said: 'This sign will be given for the atheists. You faithful already have signs and you have become the sign for the atheists. You faithful must not wait for the sign before you convert; convert soon. This time is a time of grace for you. You can never thank God enough for His grace. The time is for deepening your faith and for your conversion. When the sign comes, it will be too late for many.'"

The secrets have nearly all been revealed to each of the six visionaries; only three of them await their respective tenth secrets. According to the Medjugorje site:

"The ninth and tenth secrets are grave matters. They are a chastisement for the sins of the world. The punishment is inevitable because we can not expect the conversion of the entire world. The chastisement can be lessened by prayers and penance, but it can not be suppressed entirely."

The revealed messages often speak of the necessity of prayer, conversion and fasting which are universal, religious concepts. Occasionally, however, specific mentions are made of rituals unique to the Catholic Church, i.e. the Rosary, penance and confession. These mentions, in our opinion, put a tinge on the credibility of the entire revelation as it is our opinion that such divine proclamations would never be denomination specific. The 89 pages of messages from God (through Mary) are so contrary to the modern concepts of "thou shalt not" do this and "thou shalt not" do that that we are looking at them as quite possibly an attempt at correction of, or at counterbalance to the tenets of the modern church. According to the Holy Mother, prayer and fasting are vastly powerful tools and can redirect worldly events in a a tangible way, enough to ward off wars and "suspend natural laws". It is even stated that one of the evils of the already given secrets was averted through the use of these simple tools.

Normally the monthly messages from Medjugorje come on their own, without editorial comment from the visionaries. Then, days later, follows an official interpretation filtered through the mind of a priest. Apparently this latest vision, which lasted seven minutes, is part of what once was a daily apparition but is now an annual event occurring on the 18th of March. The unusual fact about this event is the stance that Mary took in her delivery. She had never reached out her hands before. Is this a sign that we are nearing the end of the revelation of secrets and are quickly approaching chastisement of some sort? When you approach your mother she might well reach her hands out to you.

Here is the text of the latest message from Medjugorje:

"Dear children, today I extend my hands towards you. Do not be afraid to accept them. They desire to give you love and peace and to help you in salvation. Therefore, my children, receive them. Fill my heart with joy and I will lead you towards holiness. The way on which I lead you is difficult and full of temptations and falls. I will be with you and my hands will hold you. Be persevering so that, at the end of the way, we can all together, in joy and love, hold the hands of my Son. Come with me; fear not. Thank you."

Is Human Civilization In Decline?

When young people commit suicide there is something wrong. There is despair. What we aspire to is set by consumerist motives by the profit machine. For most humans on the planet survival is the only hope; but, that's not enough in their minds. Always, there is something more they need for which they must struggle, often in vain, to attain whether it be the second new car, the dream home of television makeover fame or the health insurance with the best perks. When some see that their dreams are unattainable, impossible they lash out at a system which sets most up to fail. The recent spate of suicide massacres in the US isn't over. We will see more of it. The despair is laced with anger and those who might well have snuffed out their own lives are taking others with them in a death-rage. "If I can't have mine, you're not gonna' get yours either!"

The 20 year old man in India who killed himself in front of his girlfriend on a live webcam chat tells us that the sickness is spreading. India is rapidly moving into the same type of modern society we have been growing here in the United States. This is just one of several suicides of young people there in recent months.

Suicide Wave Continues Amongst Young in India
3-10-8

"An 18-year-old Class 11 student allegedly hanged herself in her north Delhi home Monday, the police said. This is the fourth case of a student committing suicide, reportedly due to examination stress, in the capital in the past five days."

Is human civilization on the decline?

Sociologist Melvin H. Tumin and anthropologist John W. Bennett have highlighted "prerequisites for survival," needs that must be met in order for a society to continue:

• Every society must be able to answer the basic biological needs of its members: food, drink, shelter, and medical care.

• Every society must provide for the production and distribution of goods and services (perhaps through a division of labor, rules concerning property and trade, or ideas about the role of work).

• Every society must provide for the reproduction of new members and consider laws and issues related to reproduction (regulation, marriageable age, number of children, and so on).

• Every society must provide for the training (education, apprenticeship, passing on of values) of an individual so that he or she can become a functioning adult in the society.

• Every society must provide for the maintenance of internal and external order (laws, courts, police, wars, diplomacy).

• Every society must provide meaning and motivation to its members.

This last prerequisite is more important than it may seem. No societal activity is possible unless people are motivated to participate. Why do we get up in the morning? How do we see ourselves in relation to other members of society? Why do we follow a society's rules? Without a sense of meaning and motivation, people will become apathetic. If this happens, a society may be threatened with decline.

The Secret UN-UFO Meeting

Hints at disclosure, increasing numbers of UFO reports making the media globally, recent openings (and subsequent closing in some cases) of government files on UFO research, i.e. France, Britain and Brazil. It's all adding up to something but what?

The recent emergence of a shady story about an even shadier, alleged meeting at the UN regarding the disclosure of the modern UFO phenomenon to the general public has UFO pros and amateurs alike scratching their heads. The UFO biggies are throwing the UN-story hot potato back and forth and in the meantime the general public remains, for the most part, in the dark. Those with an amateur interest in the topic are at best confused and at worst disgruntled.

So what's really going on? We suppose that a decades long cover-up would have to be released in a piece-meal, dribs and drabs, manner. After all, when you've laughed at every UFO story since you were a kid, you'd first have to see one that made you think: "Oh, maybe there's something to this?". Then you'd have to see one that made you think: "Wow this could be real!". Then you'd have to be given time to mull it over in your head while you're brushing your teeth. What does it mean to me if an advanced civilization from somewhere else is here?

• "Am I gonna lose my job?"
• "What's the minister going to say at church?"
• "Am I going to have to get rid of my car?"
• "Maybe I'll get free stuff?"

The all-out, jaw dropping shock that might come from an instantaneous disclosure of UFO truth, say in an address to the nation by our president, might well send the average human ranting into the streets, beating her chest: "I won't live under alien control!" The idea has to be injected slowly into the human psyche. After all, we've never been second before. What we do know is what happened to primitive civilizations when met with "higher" ones; most often, they collapsed.

If you feel you must question the story of the secret UN meeting, and you must, you have to ask yourself what is the motivation of the parties involved in disclosing such a story? Well, the number one answer must be greed. The editors at UFO digest might well drive their traffic up for an extended period of time thus increasing ad revenue and perhaps turn their little website into a hot market item for some wealthy Internet entrepreneur looking to acquire. After which, they would all retire in obscurity, not caring that the whole world saw them as the fools who made up the UN story.

From what we've seen, most of the people involved in the topic of UFOs aren't rich. They seem to be committed, sometimes obsessed, with a genuine curiosity in the topic. At best they can hope to pawn a book or two, maybe a movie script, but Donald Trump types don't generally run in the UFO circles. The UFO guy is more likely to be on the fringes of popular culture if not a downright outcast.

Disinformation? Yes, this could be a serious attempt at discrediting a bunch of people, but there's just too many of 'em. UFO researchers crawl like cockroaches all over the Internet, message boards are infested with amateur buffs and yes even we here at The Apocalypse Times are among the rats infesting the sewers of modern inquisitive thinking on "fringe" topics. For any major UFO figure ruined there are ten to take his place.

If the UN-UFO story is true, hold onto your tin foil hats because you are living in a time unparalleled in human history. It's not going to be easy. You may have to throw out everything you have ever learned is true. We've spoken often that the Apocalypse Times are not about the end but about the unveiling. THIS COULD BE THE BIG ONE!

Full Stephenville Lights Video

We've seen snippets of the Stephenville Lights video but this is purported to be the whole thing! In our opinion, it is an obvious attempt at communication with what might be called petropglyphs. Most of them seem to be suggestive of animals. Birds, flowers, bees, bats, bugs...is this a message that we are out of balance with our ecosystem? Perhaps someone thinks so: Today it was announced that the Grand Canyon will be flooded in an attempt to restore the ecosystem there. Keep in mind that over the past couple of years, large populations of bees, bats, fish and birds have been dying out all over the globe.

Arms of Evil, The Possession of Steve Kazmierczak

The tears of Kazmierczak's girlfriend seem to be real, but we wonder...are her eyeballs working properly? In a recent interview she expressed her shock and disbelief that the boy she new so well had committed the college campus murder spree in Illinois. This carnage is perhaps the most puzzling of all America's recent massacres because the killer's motive remains a mystery. Unlike most young people, Kazmierczak apparently hadn't left his life story pasted all over the Web on ego gratification sites and even the laptop computer found in the hotel room had had the hard drive removed from it. It almost appears that our murderer intentionally wanted to create a mystery wrapped in an enigma. In this case there seem to be no clues; or are there?

Immediately upon seeing these images of tattoos on the killer's arms we were reminded of the recent push by the Vatican to bump up it's global drive to exorcise demons. Perhaps they know something we don't. Our killer may have intentionally dialed up the powers of evil by engraving his body with these obviously frightening and, more perniciously, evil symbols. In this case where the murderer seemed to transfigure himself in a matter of days, we may be looking at a case of demonic possession.

Many believe the pentagram to be a powerful, satanic symbol. It's origins are ancient, however, and once symbolized the five wounds of Christ suffered during His crucifixion. Over time, the pentagram has become associated with evil. In the case of this particular tattoo, the pentagram is inverted which is commonly associated with satanism: the three downward points of the star symbolizing a rejection of the Holy Trinity.

Everyone involved with the young man from teachers to girlfriend appeared genuinely shocked upon hearing their onetime friend had somehow turned into a monster right before their eyes. Yes he had a reputation for being “erratic” and a “worrier” but who isn't a little worried and erratic these days? He was purportedly on withdrawals from anti-psychotic drugs, but their prevalence and over-use make this conjecture of a murder-trigger little more worthy than any of the rest. Had someone just looked at his arms they may have had some insight into what was happening.

The power of symbols doesn't make sense to the post-Enlightenment mind. Yet for centuries, man has faithfully used them for intentions both good and evil. With the heightened energy flowing through every facet of creation in these times, one might expect the poles of good and evil to become farther apart and more intense. During the Apocalypse Times choose your tattoos carefully.

Marian Apparitions: Out of This World

Marian apparitions could well be contact from another world. If you believe that the spirit is eternal, or that we are being visited by sentient beings from other worlds as "real" as this one, you may want to consider the phenomenon of these apparitions, which have been well documented over many years, as evidence that we are not alone. Today is the eve of the 150th anniversary of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary at Lourdes and on this occasion we invite you to explore the controversial topic.

The Blessed Virgin Mary, sometimes abbreviated "The Blessed Virgin", is a name used specifically by Roman Catholics and others to describe Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. Implicit in the concept, is the virginity of Mary. The Roman Catholic Church also believes that The Blessed Virgin plays a continuing role in the church as well as the daily activities of her followers. Under the decrees of Vatican II Mary was designated as an "Advocate" or intermediary to the ultimate redeemer Jesus Christ. She is described as the "generous associate and humble handmaid" to Christ; and it is through her conception and nourishment of Christ and her compassion for Him as he died on the cross that, in the Catholic Church, she has been enshrined as "our mother in the order of grace."

We here at The Apocalypse Times, have been fascinated with the phenomenon of Marian Apparitions for years. Having spent much time researching the apparitions at Fatima Portugal, we believe there is something of substance to be gleaned from such events, and have decided to exhibit some of the information here so that our readers can explore on their own. We are not Catholics, nor is it our intention to promote the Catholic Church.

We believe that revelation is an important tool in building man's spiritual development. To think that God would not speak to us directly, through Christ or even His "Advocate" in modern times, is ridiculous. The Bible is full of many examples of revelation in ancient times. Why would God have stopped talking to us today?

Many of the messages that have come through Marian Apparitions are full of love. They ring true in many ways. Some of them are prophecies, such as the Three Secrets of Fatima which were fulfilled. Some, like the Third Secret, were surrounded by controversy when the world was let down by the seeming insignificance of the official Vatican release of its contents. The Third Secret was kept from public view for decades, and was believed to be of great significance. When it was revealed that it contained a prediction of the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II, many felt that this event did not warrant the years of suppression. Many still feel that the Third Secret of Fatima is still being kept from the public.

We find it ironic, that the Catholic Church who has for many years suppressed the role of women in the church has, through the promotion of the Blessed Virgin, given Woman a prominent role in religion as an intermediary for Christ and God. We find it entirely believable that God would put the strongest example of love, a mother's love, before us as an example to follow. If you've ever looked for a metaphor of God's love, how about the convicted murderer's mother who invariably says to the press, "My son didn't do it. He has a good heart. He's innocent. I love him no matter what." We are convinced this is the same love that God has for all of us.

THE BIG THREE APPARITIONS:

The Most Amazing--The Zeitoun Apparitions

The apparitions were witnessed by millions above a church in Egypt in 1968. Many witnesses were not Christian nor even religious. Miracles were reported and there is video and photographic evidence of the apparition. The events took place intermittently for over a year and millions were converted.

Photos,video and more details

Fatima

The apparitions at Fatima took place in 1917, when the world was embroiled in the plague of death we call World War I. The Blessed Virgin appeared to three poor, young, and uneducated children in a small village in Portugal. In Mary's regular visits, she revealed three secrets to the children which were eventually to be released to the world.

Lourdes

The apparitions at Lourdes France, like Fatima, were also made manifest to a child: a fourteen year old girl named Bernadette Soubirous. In no less than 18 appearances little more was revealed beyond the apparitions request that a chapel be built upon the site, that prayers of penance be said and a promise was made to Bernadette that she would be happy in the next world. With each appearance the crowds grew considerably. Today, Lourdes is a huge shrine and a pilgrimage site to the sick who seek healing from its miracle-giving spring.

Did A Woman's Prophecy Foretell the Stephenville UFO Sightings?

The Stephenville Texas UFO sightings have taken yet another bizarre turn as we first discovered on a blog called the British X-Files. A short blurb on the site included a link to a Christian site which had what appears to be very accurate prophecy fortelling the sightings. We quote:

"I see Texas ablaze and a stunning star, like the star from the east rising over the land. I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying to: 'Watch for cosmic signs and wonders in Texas.' He said there will be a cosmological phenomenon that scientists cannot explain, and the media
will carry as front-line news."

"People will begin to ask about 'the Light.' They will remember the Child in the manger; the Lord is calling His Church to tell them about the Child in the manger and the Man of the Cross. *For a period of _four months--from Christmas to Easter_--there will be a window of opportunity for salvations, signs, healings and wonders in Texas, and this season of extraordinary favor and grace will manifest and be confirmed in unusual cosmic occurrences.*"

"'As God's fellow workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain.' For He says, 'In the time of My favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.' I tell you now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation." 2 Corinthians 6:1-2

The original post appears on a religious site calling itself The Elijah List. It's author, Catherine Brown, claims to have made the original prophecy quoted above on 11-11-2007. She has another site called Gatekeeper Global Ministries on which we were unable to find this particular prophecy referring to the appearance of a star over Texas. We were able, however, to find this mention of Dallas Texas becoming a spiritual focus in some future event. We contacted Catherine and she was kind enough to respond:

Here is the first word I received about Dallas, Texas (March 2006) along with a subsequent article (which includes the prophecy about the signs in the sky). I've received a number of letters about the signs but I am only pasting one here - it was the first one I received in December.
God bless you!
Catherine Brown
Founder, Gatekeepers Global Ministries
www.gatekeepers.org.uk

She also forwarded an e-mail she had received from someone in Texas:

Catherine: My name is (unpublished) and my family and I live in San Antonio, Texas. As I went outside early this morning and looked up into the clear sky, I saw the "stunning star" that you prophesied about in the word posted on the Elijah List. It is a beautiful star with beams of light extending out from the center. I have never seen anything like it. I woke my family up to see it and showed them the prophecy. My daughter has the best camera in the house and she took some pictures. Without a better lens, the pictures really don't do show the star as it really is. After my daughter has the opportunity to edit the photo, I'll email you the picture. Of course, the media will likely get better pictures of it.
I don't know if anyone else has reported this to you, but I just saw it and wanted you to know. Thank you for being faithful.

Be blessed!

We remain skeptical but, as always, keep an open mind as these events and others that are happening with greater frequency around the world seem to be steering many to a path of greater spirituality. Please keep an open mind but, as always, we caution not an empty one! Confusion and wonder...signs of The Apocalypse Times.

Apocalypse Is Not "The End", It's The Unveiling

Everyone is hopping all over the word Apocalypse as if it were a nice, big, long, all-encompassing, super-powerful, end-of-the-world, super-word; well, it ain't so. We've been writing of, and thinking of, the Apocalypse for a long time, not in such terms as the catastrophic end of human existence but as the precursor of a great spiritual awakening. The Apocalypse comes from an old Greek word:

etymology apocalypse--c.1384, "revelation, disclosure," from Church L. apocalypsis "revelation," from Gk. apokalyptein "uncover," from apo- "from" (see apo-) + kalyptein "to cover, conceal" (see Calypso). The Christian end-of-the-world story is part of the revelation in John of Patmos' book "Apokalypsis" (a title rendered into Eng. as "Apocalypse" c.1230 and "Revelations" by Wyclif c.1380).

Apocalypse is the reverse of a cover-up, the anointing of every conspiracy theorist's dream; it is the Alpha and the Omega. The Apocalypse is a "good thing". The four horsemen have a hard job, after all, dragging that heavy veil off of our eyes. The Vatican sees the problem, recently unveiling a special Apocalypse exhibit to remind us that even their version of the "Truth" will be wiped away.

Have you heard this one: "my kingdom is not of this world"? (John 18:36)
So, what makes you think being a mogul in whatever dreamworld really matters? Are you some Caesar-unto-Caesar antidote that chases money, fame and fortune and then goes to heaven with a big stack of heavenly Greenstamps® under your arm reminding Jesus that you had to do what you had to do to get your kid into college? You can't see God through Armani® glasses.

The Apocalypse isn't about fear, it's about undoing, and unveiling reality. Reality is a dream decided upon, like history, majority rules...at least for now. All endings are beginnings, all births are painful. Be prepared for your virtual slap on the ass; you will cry, and later smile with a silver spoon in your mouth. The truth is being fed to you one, tiny spoonful at a time.

Fear and worry are pastimes, not lifestyles. Guilt and depression are habits, not birthrights. Give yourself a break and remember that you are free and love is limitless, you are limitless and, as God's creation, you are perfect. So breathe easy when you face The Apocalypse Times for these times aren't about endings, they are about beginnings.

Strange Video of UFO or Possibly a Hoax

The high strangeness just keeps coming and the above video is no exception. While we are quite wary of the predominance of UFO hoaxes on YouTube, we often browse the video site for things that we find exceptional. This video of a strange object was apparently taken from about three meters away in a man's backyard. The location must be Caranzalem, India which is the man's hometown according to his YouTube profile. It was witnessed by he and his son. According to his description:

"we went to rest....i could not sleep ..i started reading a novell and all night long i heard low-mid frequency noises as if elephants were trumpeting...or some one was grunting...and swishing sounds.... now i noticed when i opened the door that there was a tubelight about 10 meteres away on a pole outside our backyard compound wall...could it be playing tricks on our eyes....i asked my son wheter he wwas stil seeing the object..he said now..there were 2 of them...one was silver......i saw the silver one too...but the golden one wasnt there anymore"

The video was taken by a self-described music director, teacher, poet and singer according to his profile on MP3.com. This could be some sort of attempt at viral marketing in order to bring attention to his creative endeavors. If indeed that is the case; it worked. His description, however, has a ring of sincerity to it. These and other anomalies of human behavior, strange events, unexplained visions and false visions are the very essence of The Apocalypse Times. Take it with a grain of salt but keep an open mind.

The Factor Talks About Exorcism...Again

The Vatican's recent push to make exorcism a service readily available to the public was front page news here on The Apocalypse Times. Now Fox News has decided to do a riveting, five minute exposé on, of all shows, The Factor with Bill O'Reilly. Why, we wonder, is this man so interested in Satan? See for yourself.

Are They Here For Sure This Time?

Update: The following video was digitally enhanced from one of the videos we posted previously in this story. Check this out!



It appears that this may well be the year of the UFO, what with reports of sightings popping up in mainstream news sources all over the place. The latest sighting has an accompanying photo, and follows on the heels of a similar report just days ago in Cornwall, UK. A member of a search and rescue team, Kelvin Barbery aged 55, captured a very clear photo on the Saturday before New Years' day. According to an article published in The Cornish Guardian: " A mysterious object caught on camera by a keen photographer has been dubbed a UFO by a former Ministry of Defence analyst." The latest photo comes via a photographer who dubbed himself "Edward". He submitted the photo to The Sun, a UK tabloid, which appears to show an unfamiliar shaped craft buzzing a ship in a navy shipyard.

We noted some similarities to the ship in this most recent photo and a craft featured in a video we discovered on YouTube. Here you can see the two craft side by side:


The video was taken in July of 2006 near Oxfordshire, UK but was uploaded just days ago as perhaps the videographer was him/herself inspired by the recent wave of sightings. You can see the similarities in the craft by pausing the video below.



So what are these things? The craft appears to have a rounded, almost bullet shaped body with what appear to be two tiny "wings" and a small "rudder" on top. Such a familiar shape might suggest a top secret, military craft; but for now perhaps we should dub the craft "The Cornish Hen".


Meanwhile in San Diego, a recent sighting of several glowing orbs flying in formation made local headlines. Media "experts" attempted to explain away the sightings as Chinese lanterns, but witnesses remained convinced that what they saw was something out of this world.





Is it time for us to know that we are being visited by someone or something? Perhaps 2008 will be the year, but more than likely not. For it is mystery that clouds reality during The Apocalypse Times...

Prayer Seen As Super-Weapon Against Evil

Not long after our explorations of hate and evil we see growing in the world, the Vatican revealed a new assault on Satan. It appears that we are not the only ones seeing evil growing in the world; and while it may seem ironic to many that an organization like the Catholic church, who has seen much evil arise from its own ranks in recent years, is spearheading an attack on evil from the outside, at least somebody is doing something! The rite of exorcism is as old as the church itself and was popularized by a movie made in the 1970's entitled simply "The Exorcist". The idea that an archduke of evil can inhabit the body of a man against his will is perhaps one of the most frightening ideas ever conceived and the Vatican's straightforward assault is a modern day eye brow raiser for sure.

According to a highly placed Vatican official, a chief in charge of fighting the devil, Father Gabriele Amorth: "Too many bishops are not taking this seriously and are not delegating their priests in the fight against the Devil. You have to hunt high and low for a properly trained exorcist." It looks like the Satan hunt is on for real and, to many who see this type of church activity as akin to voodoo, it may look like a giant step backward for the organization. According to Amorth, "People suffer and think that turning to the Devil can help solve their problems. We are being bombarded by requests for exorcisms." Sounds like the exorcist appeal is more a matter of supply and demand than an attempt to restore the church to earlier time or more traditional standards.

As a silver bullet in the fight against the Devil, the church recommends recitation of a specific prayer: The Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel. The prayer was traditionally seen as protection against evil that was recited at the end of Catholic Masses. The prayer was dropped in the 1960s by Pope John XXIII. The text of the prayer follows.

• Saint Michael the Archangel,
  defend us in battle.
  Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
  May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
  and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
  by the Divine Power of God -
  cast into hell, Satan and all the evil spirits,
  who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
  Amen.

We don't want to be accused of doing commercials for the Catholic church. We are of the opinion that if Christ were walking the streets of Rome today he might well purge the church of all of its symbols and riches much as he did when he upset the tables of the money changers in Temple of His own time. The church does, however, do something few organizations do anymore and that is speak out on matters of spirit which we feel need to be placed higher in the public realm than they currently are. Matters of spirit need to be discussed, debated and dissected in this time of strife we are entering; they may be our only refuge during The Apocalypse Times....

Do You Feel The Hate?

As fear grows around the world, so does it's twin sister emotion: hate. According to Princeton University's WordNet, hate is defined as: S: (n) hate, hatred (the emotion of intense dislike; a feeling of dislike so strong that it demands action); and the action is growing as those who have gnawed their fingernails to the quick have little left to do but attack. A pervasive sense of fear is flooding the modern world as those who have everything ponder the possibility they might lose it all; they wonder if all the things they have represent priorities that might possibly be wrong, or that the inevitability of their own death is real and will wipe out all these things no matter what happens in this world. Their eyes pop open wide, they gasp. When backed into a corner, they attack; you may well have been the victim of such a person. How did you react? Did you flee or fight when confronted with the gnashing teeth of hate?

We recommend you flee! Run to a safe place you build for yourself that needs no fence or barricade to defend. Build a house inside your head that has a cozy fireplace, soft music and candlelight. No retribution you can mete out will bring you justice; your own fear factor will increase in magnitudes when revenge is taken. You will be looking over your shoulder forever.

As an example of the hate of action growing in this world, we suggest you read the story of the suicide of 13 year old Megan Meier. She was victimized by the parents of a scorned friend who emotionally abused her with the assistance of a Myspace website. They tricked her. Their words carried more weight than everyday name calling; after all, they appeared in print and on the Internet. The shame the girl felt as a result of the carefully engineered emotional attack, the hate of action created by adults, drove her to suicide.

The fear is quivering in the very brain stems of those most unable to cope. They are on the attack and looking for you. You run as fast as you can; hide inside your safe place with your head under the covers and shiver in fear. It is your only option. Such is the inevitable pain of The Apocalypse Times....

Laughing At The Space Men; UFOs Aren't Real

Why giggles not gasps, or jeers, or raspberries at prominent people coming out with their opinion on the UFO phenomenon? Just yesterday, a top cabinet official in Japan expressed his opinion, "This is an issue that the nation is interested in -- it is a defense issue and a confirmation operation needs to take place." Perhaps the giggles are a nervous laugh, a reaction of fear to the possibility that we are NOT the only sentient beings roaming our galaxy. Certainly an Aztec chieftain would have been laughed off the pyramid had he told his tribe: "...men with hairy faces, very advanced weapons, and giant sea ships are coming to attack us from a land across the ocean."


Often, when we are afraid, we laugh; but what are we afraid of in this case? If indeed it were unveiled that space men are visiting us from across the universe what might it mean for the everyday Joe? According to a December 15th, 1960 New York Times article regarding a massive study commissioned by NASA:

"The report, prepared by the Brookings Institution, said 'while the discovery of intelligent life in other parts of the universe is not likely in the immediate future, it could nevertheless, happen at any time.' Discovery of Intelligent beings on other planets could lead to an all-out effort by earth to contact them, or it could lead to sweeping changes or even the downfall of civilization, the report said."

"Even on earth, it added, 'societies sure of their own place have disintegrated when confronted by a superior society, and others have survived even though changed.'"

Let's suppose that everyday Joe finds out that he doesn't have to buy gasoline, that his transportation can be driven with free energy. Millions of everyday Joes would suddenly be out of work. Subsequently, millions more who depend on the oil industry for income would be penniless too. A great, global economic collapse might well be the result of UFO "disclosure".

Suppose that we were told that UFOs had come here to harvest us? After all, we have no moral qualms about eating, experimenting on and using lower forms of intelligence for our purposes. Perhaps moral relativism is more than we really believe it is. After all, we have no higher source when it comes to the mind to consult with on what is actually right or wrong, good or evil. We look to sources like The Bible to set our moral standards; and even with such a written document, the decisions and judgments that we make vary widely according to interpretation. Some cultures still condone stoning to death as a just punishment for crimes based on written religious testament.

If UFOs are real, and they are far more technologically advanced than we; it doesn't necessarily follow that they hold themselves to higher moral standards. One might make the argument that a lost tribe of pygmies has a higher ethical standard than today's American family man. One drives a car, the other sharpens a wooden spear: who is morally and ethically superior? The one who abandons his wife and kids for a stripper, or the one who hunts wild boars to keep his family alive? We are not making a judgment here ourselves...but merely trying to ponder the implications of contact with another "superior" civilization. Without prior contact with minds other than our own, all we have is speculation. It may well be a sublime event. Such are the musings of The Apocalypse Times...

How does this happen? A little boy becomes a gunman....

This macabre, mass murder event that just took place in safe, hometown Omaha Nebraska says more about our society than it says about this little boy: Robert Hawkins. When young men, unguided, unwanted, unloved, unusual, un-everything venture out to murder it's because there is no love: no hugs, no smiles, no pats on the back, no safety. CNN interviewed his landlord who explicated the details of his suicide note: Why does a little boy have a landlord instead of a father? To his landlord, he was a "lost puppy" that nobody wanted. "He was a piece of shit all his life, and now he would be famous" was the quote from his "suicide note". Famous...the only thing that matters to a generation raised at the tutelage of "America's Next Top Model" and "Survivor".

The next mass murderer may well have just walked past you on the street. You may well have pointed and laughed at him, ridiculed him, and walked past with a smile, self-satisfied that he was a loser and you had proved yourself superior. You are the "Survivor" and voted your brother off the island. No one survives this world and as a famous person from the Bible once said: "My Kingdom is not of this world." Save some love for your brother...please.

You should close your eyes and pray right now because this "Christian country" has fallen so far from God that it doesn't have a clue where to look. On it's knees economically, fighting wars with yellow bumper stickers, and quagmired in puddles of rabid foam dripping from talk show hosts grimaced mouths Americans seem to be living in the squalor of a warped neo-Theology: a tit-for-tat, let me do God's work religion. Revenge is the modus operandi, hate is the everyday word on the street and forgiveness has become a gut-wrenching disguise for sacrifice.

When little boys murder, God is involved; for He loves all of us and would not forsake an innocent son to take the lives of those he loves just as much. This murder is about the disappearance of love from this world; it's time to listen to God. Listen to your brother and look at him with compassion. He is not your enemy; there is nothing to win..there will be no survivors.

God rest the souls of the innocent that died in this event.
