By Berit Kjos<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The invasion of monsters began decades ago, and it quickly transformed the world of entertainment. With little resistance, an army of cute-ugly creatures swept into toy stores, television, and movies. They now adorn children\u2019s clothes, bedding, wallpaper, lunchboxes, and books. And many have pushed their way into children\u2019s hearts on the backs of seductive and misleading fables that mold their thoughts and manipulate their imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of these monsters are crude and cool like Stitch, Shrek, and the serpentine aliens of Men in Black<\/em>. Others appear wise and honorable like Yoda in Star Wars<\/em>. But the creatures that win the prize for thrills and chills are the dark and deadly looking ones like Darth Maul, Tolkien\u2019s Orcs, and the ominous aliens in Signs<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They all serve a set of strategic social and spiritual goals: They entertain. They shift a person\u2019s attention from the real world to a more titillating realm created by those who write the myths and steer the imagination. They tempt Christian fans to re-imagine or reinvent both God and themselves in the new context\u2014thus bending the old realities to fit the re-envisioned ones. They desensitize their fans to mystical images and symbols of evil. And they stir a craving for more intense excitement of the same kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually the real world of nature, families, work, and biblical truth becomes too boring to be enjoyed. Who cares about truth and facts when folklore and fantasies seem far more titillating and exciting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s techno-progressive mystical-oriented world has little tolerance for biblical watchfulness. Instead, it embraces its mythical heroes with a driving passion that often eclipses both family and reality. The more shocking, crude, insidious looking, and ugly, the more cool and captivating the product. Hollywood and toy makers know that well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you remember the Madballs from the late eighties. The grotesque bouncing heads bore matching names like Wolf Breath, Swine Sucker, and Screamin\u2019 Meenie. With shrewd foresight, their inventor, Ralph Shaffer, suggested that his successful minispheres would \u201ctake the world of cute-ugly into a new direction.\u201d1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was right. The horrific-ugly as well as the cute-ugly began turning a corner and pulling Western culture along with it. Grotesque, demonic-looking creatures with fiery eyes infiltrated toy stores and sold like hotcakes. Many were mutants\u2014part animal and part human, or an admixture of animal and monster. And most could wield the kind of supernatural power featured in their respective legends and stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They won incredible popularity. Children quickly overcame their natural aversion to scary images and learned to treasure these ugly, hybrid, mutant supernaturals. Few noticed their resemblance to the demonic creatures described in the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of those early creatures of darkness, Black Star, would ride on a green horse with huge bat-like wings and a long dragon tail. Its eyes were glowing red and a long tongue dangled from its mouth. Another popular invader, Dark Dragon, had black wings and a huge tail with red scales along the sides. Hiding a skull in its chest, it had a lion\u2019s mouth, teeth, and claws. Its eyes were glowing red, and out of the center of its forehead shone a large, green third eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a lecture titled, \u201cThe Rising Interest in the Supernatural,\u201d Larry McLean, coauthor of The Early Eart<\/em>h, compares today\u2019s grotesque toys to historical images representing ancient gods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

These [creatures] that show up in archeology and what we would call mythology were not just figments of the imagination. They were . . . represented as part human and part animal in their characteristics like this bird-human of the Assyrians. [They can be] horse-and-human like centaurs. Or fish-and-human like the god Dagon of the Philistines . . . or part jaguar and part human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that tongue hanging out over the chin\u2014which is a universal symbol of demonic possession. . . . One of the most popular combinations is human and serpent. . . . It\u2019s not surprising that pagan religions worshiped serpents and dragons, for the Bible tells us in Revelation 12 that the old serpent, the dragon, is Satan the devil.2<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Nor should today\u2019s growing popularity of devilish images surprise us. The Bible prophesies that demonic activities will escalate before and during the reign of the Antichrist. Could the multiplication of demonic-looking, alien images be part of Satan\u2019s plan to prepare us for these awful future events?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t laugh. There is plenty of evidence that a sizable percentage of UFO sightings, alien abductions, crop circles, and other extraterrestrial manifestations fit into the realm of the supernatural. According to John Ankerberg and John Weldon\u2019s book The Facts on UFO\u2019s and other Supernatural Phenomena<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

[F]ew unbiased researchers can logically deny that UFO experiences are of an occult nature. If we catalog the basic characteristics of the occult and compare them to UFO phenomena, we discover an essential similarity. . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 20 years of research, we believe that the demonic theory dovetails extremely well with the totality of UFO phenomena. . . . In fact, we know of no UFO contactee who is not basically a spiritistic medium. In addition, we have read hundreds of articles from the oldest and most respected UFO journal, the British Flying Saucer Review, that indicate the psychic and\/or non-extraterrestrial aspects of UFOs which, given their actions and messages, indicate probable demonic origin.3<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

These threats have not escaped notice. According to \u201cAbove Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Cover-up\u201d by Timothy Good, \u201cthe ubiquitous UFO phenomenon . . . [is] a phenomenon that has caused grave concern at high levels of many of the world\u2019s governments, despite their statements to the contrary.\u201d4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ankerberg and Weldon arrived at the same conclusion. They found that \u201cin the U.S. alone, tens of millions of dollars have been spent in official UFO investigations by the CIA, FBI, U.S. Army Intelligence, Naval Intelligence, and other organizations.\u201d They quote astrophysicist Dr. Jacques Vallee who describes the UFO event as \u201ca bizarre, seductive, and often terrifying phenomenon reported by many witnesses as contact with an alien form of intelligence.\u201d5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, many UFO enthusiasts and New Age leaders would disagree. Some began to circulate the far-out notion decades ago: A group of benevolent aliens or ascended masters would suddenly appear on the earth and cleanse it from all who resist its spiritual evolution toward global oneness. At the same time, they would prepare humanity to receive the prophesied New Age \u201cChrist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe not so far-out after all, at least according to one major New Age figure, Barbara Marx Hubbard. Marx Hubbard believes there will indeed be a cleansing of all those who resist the coming together of all humanity and rejection of its \u201cChrist.\u201d She calls this process of cleansing the \u201cSelection Process.\u201d Listen to a few quotes by Marx Hubbard as she describes this cleansing. Keep in mind while reading these that Marx Hubbard is not some glassy-eyed spaced-out hippy from the \u201960s living on an isolated mountainside. As a matter of fact, she was instrumental in forming a lobby group in Washington D.C. to create a \u201cU.S. Department of Peace.\u201d This organization, called The Peace Alliance, has worked with willing Congress members and other influential figures (such as the late Walter Cronkite) to bring about this Peace plan.6 From Marx Hubbard\u2019s book, The Revelation<\/em>, she quotes from her \u201cChrist\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Dearly beloved, I approached the crucifixion far more easily than I approach the selection. The crucifixion was done unto my body. The selection will be done unto yours.7<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decisive moment of selection has almost come. The judgment of the quick and the dead is about to be made. The end of this phase of evolution is nearly complete.8<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By your acts you shall be judged as to whether you can evolve, or must be \u201ccast into the lake of fire,\u201d which is the second death.9<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The selection process will exclude all who are exclusive. The selection process assures that only the loving will evolve to the stage of co-creator.10<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The end is near. The old play is almost over. Suffice it to say, that if you do not choose to evolve into a wholesome, co-creative human, then you shall not.11<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In former New Age follower Warren B. Smith\u2019s<\/a> book, False Christ Coming: Does Anybody Care?<\/em>, Smith unveils Marx Hubbard\u2019s \u201cSelection Process\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Hubbard\u2019s \u201cChrist,\u201d while describing the \u201cbirth experience\u201d and professing his love for all mankind, nevertheless warns that there will be no place in the \u201cNew Jerusalem\u201d for those who refuse to see themselves and others as a part of God. He describes, therefore, the necessity of a \u201cselection process\u201d that will select out resistant individuals who \u201cchoose\u201d not to evolve. This \u201cselection process\u201d is a \u201cpurification\u201d that will be accomplished through \u201cthe shock of a fire.\u201d12<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Marx Hubbard likens those who resist this \u201cco-creative stage of evolution,\u201d to a \u201clethal cancer cell in a body: deadly to itself and to the whole.\u201d13 She explains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The surgeon dare leave no cancer in the body when he closes up the wound after a delicate operation. We dare leave no self-centeredness on Earth after the selection process.14<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of how this apocalyptic scenario will play out, be it with the supposed and added element of \u201caliens\u201d or \u201cascended masters,\u201d or not, these demonic beings will no doubt come as \u201cangel[s] of light\u201d and \u201cministers of righteousness\u201d (2 Corinthians 11:14-15) illustrating \u201cthe beautiful side of evil\u201d rather than the grotesque images of occult idols in order to \u201cdeceiveth the whole world\u201d (Revelation 12:9). These \u201cmasters\u201d represent a hierarchy of warring demons that match the warning in Ephesians 6:12, which tells us that our battle is not against \u201cflesh and blood\u201d but rather against the \u201crulers of the darkness of this world\u201d and \u201cagainst spiritual wickedness in high places.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different versions of these seductive deceptions have spread around the world through the writings of countless occultists. Their numbers include the infamous Satanist Aleister Crowley as well as the occultic \u201cprophetess\u201d Alice Bailey, whose channeled messages from spirit guide Djwhal Khul inspired United Nations and many education leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But God\u2019s Word shows us the truths behind those illusions. Revelation 9:1-11 foresees a day when the Abyss (the bottomless pit where Satan will be cast) will open with a burst of smoke and release an army of powerful deadly creatures onto the earth. They will look like a mixture of man, horse, and locust with wings. They will have stinging \u201ctails like unto scorpions,\u201d and their commander will be Satan himself. Our God will allow it; for man\u2019s evil\u2014as in the days of Noah\u2014and God\u2019s eternal justice will call forth His judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though children are born with a natural fear of hideous, shocking, and evil-looking creatures, this God-given protection has been dulled by the Western world\u2019s mass-media marketing system. Children are being conditioned to embrace demonic manifestations, whether they come as beings with superior intelligence from outer space to rescue planet Earth or as evolved mutations from earth itself. Why wouldn\u2019t they accept these lies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless we teach them otherwise, today\u2019s postmodern anti-biblical beliefs in both physical and cosmic evolution lead most of them to trust in deceptions. Of course\u2014they are told\u2014life had to have evolved on other planets! If there really is a God, He wouldn\u2019t have created the whole universe just for earthlings, would He?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, He would. Why shouldn\u2019t our God, who sent His own Son to die for us, create such a universe? Why not make it so vast that man\u2019s ego would be humbled by such might? Maybe He did it to show us the immeasurable greatness of His magnificent, incomprehensible creative powers and the infinite width, length, height, and depth of His magnificent love. I believe He did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? . . . For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. (Romans 11:33-34, 36)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
