As mentioned in earlier entrees, the mountain range in Arizona
where the Mt. Graham International Observatory and the LUCIFER device resides is
considered one of the holiest mountains in America for the Apache
Indians.

History
suggests part of the reason native peoples considered it “holy” -- and partly
why the mountain was selected by the MGIO consortium -- involves unusual
heavenly activity there in ancient times when UFOs called “spirit lights” moved
through the sky, something that seems to have contributed to their attribution
of “powers” to the solar system, the location of metaphysical 'portals,' and
other supernatural phenomena. The Apache Creation Myth is telling in this
regard, as a particular version involves the “One Who Lives Above” and who
descended in a flying disc at the start of creation. “In the beginning
nothing existed—no earth, no sky, no sun, no moon, only darkness was
everywhere,” the legend starts before noting; “Suddenly from the darkness
emerged a disc, one side yellow and the other side white, appearing suspended in
midair. Within the disc sat a bearded man, Creator, the One Who Lives
Above.”
While no single “Apache Creation Myth” dominates all tribal
beliefs, most groups share key precepts as well as symbolism within their oral
histories. Besides the creator who rides in a heavenly disc, a Dragon with the
power of speech turns up, bargaining with men, as well as supernatural gateways
associated with mountains (ch’íná’itíh) through which spirit beings can come.
Sometimes these spirits are represented by the Owl (to an Apache Indian,
dreaming of an Owl signified approaching death, while the Hopis see the
Burrowing Owl [Ko’ko, “Watcher of the dark”] as the god of the dead and the
underground), which is fascinating given the connection with “alien abduction”
accounts where the Owl is a disguise wherein the abductee is led to believe the
bug-eyed alien in their memory was actually an Owl they had seen somewhere and
had lodged in their memory. Owls have been associated throughout Christian
history with sorcery and flying witches and the source of these legends seem to
mirror many abduction tales, which we shall consider later. Suffice to say these
ancient native ideas involving flying discs, flying creators, spirit lights,
Owls, a talking Dragon or great serpent, and even supernatural gateways tied to
mountain ranges began long before the Vatican cast its eyes on Mt. Graham.
WHO WERE / ARE THEY REALLY?
First, from a purely incorporeal
reality, we know that demons and their militaristic interest in people and
geography are ontological facts, according to the Bible. In the Old Testament,
demons are seen as the living dynamic behind idolatry (i.e., Deuteronomy 32:17),
and in the New Testament, every writer refers to their influence. Extrabiblical
texts including ancient pseudepigraphical works like the first Book of Enoch and
post-New Testament writings such as the Didache, Ignatius’ Epistle to the Ephesians, and the Shepherd of Hermas agree with this
concern. Early church fathers also reinforced the belief that evil spirits seek
to thwart the will of God on earth through attacks on the body of Christ in
particular and against society in general, as unseen intermediaries—both good
and evil—interlope between spiritual and human personalities at home, in church,
in government, and in society. Understanding how and why this is true is defined
in demonological studies such as the divine council (a term used by Hebrew and
Semitic scholars to describe the pantheon of divine beings or angels who
administer the affairs of heaven and earth), where experts typically agree that,
beginning at the Tower of Babel, the world and its inhabitants were disinherited
by the sovereign God of Israel and placed under the authority of lesser divine
beings that became corrupt and disloyal to God in their administration of those
nations (Psalm 82). Following Babel, these beings quickly became idolized on
earth as gods, giving birth to the worship of “demons” (see Acts 7:41–42; Psalms
96:5; and 1 Corinthians 10:20) and the quest by fallen angels to draw mankind
away from God. While the dominion of these entities and their goals are
frequently overlooked, close collaboration between evil ones and unregenerate
social architects operates on a regular basis outside the purview of the
countless multitudes who are blinded to their reality. In other words, as
suggested in the film “They Live,” behind governors, legislators, presidents,
dictators, and even religious leaders, wicked spiritual powers move throughout
the machine of ecclesiastical and civil governments and media as freely as they
are allowed. Whenever such principalities recognize a religious or political
body that has become a force for moral good, they set about—through a
sophisticated labyrinth of visible and invisible representatives—to bring that
organization down, one righteous soul at a time.
It is within this concealed
arena of evil supernaturalism that unregenerate men are organized. Under demonic
influence, they are orchestrated within a great evil system (or empire)
described in various scriptural passages as a satanic order. In more than thirty
important biblical texts, the Greek New Testament employs the term kosmos,
describing this “government behind government.” It is here that human ego,
separated from God, becomes hostile to the service of mankind while viewing
people as commodities to be manipulated in the ministration of fiendish
ambition. Some expositors believe the origins of this phenomenon began in the
distant past, when a fire in the mind of Lucifer caused the powerful Cherub to
exalt himself above the good of God’s creation. The once-glorified spirit,
driven mad by an unequivocal thirst to rule, conquer, and dominate, spawned
similar lust between his followers, which continues today among agents of dark
power who guard a privileged, “cause-and-effect” symmetry between visible and
invisible personalities.
At Satan’s desire, archons
command this supernatural, geopolitical sphere, dominating kosmokrators (rulers
of darkness who work in and through human counterparts) who in turn command
spirits of lesser rank until every level of earthly government, secular and
religious, can be touched by this influence. If we could see through the veil
into this domain, we would find a world alive with good against evil, a place
where the ultimate prize is the souls of men and where legions war for control
of its cities and people. With vivid testimony to this, Satan offered Jesus all
the power and the glory of the governments of this world. Satan said, “All this
power [control] will I give thee, and the glory of them [earthly cities]: for
that is delivered unto me: and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore
wilt worship me, all shall be thine” (Luke 4:6–7).
According to the epistle of the Ephesians, it is this dominion, not flesh and
blood, where opposition to God’s will on earth is initiated. Whereas people and
institutions often provide the “faces” on our problems, the conflict originates
beyond them, in this place where unseen forces scheme. These forces may indeed
be more influential than anyone ever imagined. In fact, there is a strong
likelihood that the first murder recorded in Genesis was demonically inspired
(in a manner which parallels the so called “alien abduction” phenomenon in
interesting ways.) Did you ever wonder why “sin” is personified when God warns
Cain "If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not
well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou
shalt rule over him" (Ge 4:7, underline
added). Doesn’t it seem odd that “sin”
is a “him” and if Cain does not do well he will be sin’s desire? How can “sin”
have desire? Apparently, there is something more going on here and scholars have
uncovered surprising answers.
The wonderful thing about
archeology is that we now have a greater understanding of the Bible’s context
than at any other time in history. Scholars have translated a wealth of tablets
from Mesopotamia which not only add contextual clues to scriptural references
but provide insight into borrowed Semitic vocabulary. In this case, a careful
examination of the Hebrew text leads many evangelical inerrancy-upholding
scholars to see the participle (Heb. rōbēṣ) rendered
“lieth” in the KJV (or “is crouching” in other versions) as an Akkadian loan
word, rābiṣu, for a demon (ancient Hebrew has no vowels so ‘rbs’ offers this flexibility).[iii]
Of course, there are other scholars who balk, preferring a less
supernatural exegesis, but the context of the passage supports the demonic
interpretation. Sin does not lie in wait but demons do. Biblical scholar John
Walton agrees, “The fact that the text mentions the desire to master Cain favors
rabiṣu
as a demon.”[iv]
Thus, just prior to the first
murder in history, “sin” is depicted as a doorway-demon waiting for an opportune time, an
invitation which comes all too soon.
The ancient Akkadian literature reveals more astonishing data.
In medical texts,
inflicted individuals are depicted as having “walked in the path of a
rābiṣu” and “a rābiṣu has seized him.” The root meaning of this
term means ‘one who lies in wait’.[v]
Uncanny parallels to modern abductions are seen
in the descriptions of demons who ambush their victims in various locations:
rābiṣ ūri, “the rābiṣu of the roof”; rābiṣ nāri,
“the rābiṣu of the river”; rābiṣ ḫarbati, “the
rābiṣu of the wasteland.” It seems there was a rābiṣu for just
about anywhere, even a rābiṣ musâti, “the rābiṣu of the
toilet.” Now that’s disturbing! Ill manners aside, consider the rābiṣ
urḫi, “the rābiṣu of the road.”[vi]
Might Barney and Betty Hill, while driving late
at night on that lonely road, have encountered something like the latter
manifest physically in modern garb?
But What If There Is Something
More—Something Embodied?
Among secular and religious
researchers today there is a contentious behind-the-scenes debate going on in
this regard, which has been growing in intensity over the last few years among
those who recognize first of all that genetically modified plants, animals, and
yes, humans are now reality (documented in the next entry). Unnatural forms of
life first sprang up in ancient days and according to the Bible this is a repeatable phenomenon—that
is, human hybridization not only happened in earliest times, but was followed by
at least a second wave during the days of Abraham, Moses and the Davidic
kingdom, and, more importantly, was prophesied to erupt once more in the latter
days. Therefore, we shall show unequivocally that the question is not whether
humans were, can be or are being hybridized, but whether alien/demon agencies
are involved in the process. If so, does this imply something very
uncomfortable, which most of us do not want to think about; that a form of
“human” exists that quite possibly cannot be redeemed?
