Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps the biggest challenge this book faces is how to alter the belief structure of so many Christians without offending my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. In fact, it is so daunting that it probably cannot be done. In other words, I know some of the seeds are going to fall on rocky ground. Nonetheless, an attempt is being rendered in this book to calm the fear of those should disclosure take place, whether by our government, or by visitors from other worlds, or even the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. This will be done by focusing on more technological, and allegorical aspects and less on miraculous and literal interpretations. Nonetheless, still Biblical! Before you get started on this book would you please take a few minutes and find a nice quiet corner. Pray to God that these words will be enlightening to you and not offensive. Pray that you will have an open mind and even though you may not understand or agree with my words, that a loving supreme God in in control. Thank Him for His love, mercy, for His Son and for His sacrifice. Acknowledge His ways are far superior to our ways. And, pray for wisdom and understanding in the doses you can handle. Amen.Perhaps the biggest and most important issue for modern humanity is withheld information by the inner elite government concerning life elsewhere and the upcoming paradigm shift of known modern-day physics. As many of you know, this cover up has been going on for 70+ years. It really started with what is known as the Roswell incident.
