Who Said That?

"After we have proved that the people of flying saucers are none other than demons in human form, and that flying saucers are the flying riding beast or donkey of the Antichrist, which demons made for him to enable him to gain control over the people of the earth, now we need to recognize the goals of the study and the experiment that the demons perform upon human beings and animals in flying saucers.  We will relate these goals to the tribulations and the miracles that the Antichrist will bring to humanity."

Believe it or not, this quote is from a very popular Muslim apocalyptic writer (H. 'Abad al-Hamid) who penned these words in 1996.  The translation is found in David Cook's excellent book, Contemporary Muslim Apocalyptic Literature (Syracuse University Press, 2005), 81.  Cook documents how Muslim writers are now appealing to biblical texts (from Revelation, Daniel, and Ezekiel) to craft bizarre schemes to explain the rise of Israel and the great Satan (America).  Some of this stuff is pretty scary.

It just goes to show you that apocalyptic speculation can get pretty loopy whether it comes from a Muslim or an evangelical.

That's easy! Chuck Missler.

[Rick B.]

L. Ron Hagee? Jerry L. Hubbard? Hal Applewhite? Han LaHaye? Thomas Skywalker?

Dunno.

[lars]

Must be Chuck Missler.

[Ethan]

I agree, must be Chuck Missler.

The statement is obsurd.

Alien abduction is nothing more than sleep paralysis. Does the devil use this condition to decieve? I believe so. The people who think they have been abducted typicaly say that it took place at night while they were in bed. They were unable to move and had the sensation of floating. These are all symptoms associated with the hypnopompic response.
As far a cattle mutilations go. It is the normal decay of the animals after having been predated by bloat flies.

Since you all took Missler already, I'll take a stab at Bob Larson, or even Dave Hunt, or maybe Duplantis seeing how he has taken a trip or two!!

[Chris Sherman]

I think it was Mel, the cook on Alice or Chuck Missler.

[Rev. Bob]

I am almost positive I've heard Missler say this before, but I'm not sure because he doesn't mention the Nephilim!

[Nathan]

Hal Lindsey

[Chris Allen]

My first thought was Chuck Missler too.

What about Jack Van Impie?

[Joe]

Anyone calling in on that crazy "Coast to Coast" program. My personal favorite was a special on the Wisconsin Werewolf a while back.

Lets see, one more guess......since Benny Hinn thinks Adam could fly.....................

[Jeff Rolfe]

It could be brother Noah Hutchings and our friends at Southwest Radio Church

[Doxoblogist]

Paul and/or Jan Crouch.

What's such a sorry state of affairs is that this type of thing could have been said by so many in the "pin the tail on the antichrist" crowd. They almost trip over each other in what appears to be an all-out race to tumble into what they regard as truth, and what the rest of us clearly recognize as utter absurdity.

A second vote for someone on the nutty "Coast to Coast" radio show that airs after midnight. The host of that show has never found a story too wild for him to air and apparently to believe. I loved the guy who called in a couple of months ago because his trailer was attacked by Bigfoot... except that he was inside the trailer, and never saw Bigfoot!

I remember during high school reading a novelette by some dispy-wacko (this pre-dates Hal Lindsey's nonsense, and it wasn't by Armstrong). In the plot the "rapture" was explained by the "one world" gov't. as a massive abduction by aliens (which, of course, was perfectly plausible to the world population, since there had been-by that point-innumerable UFO sightings and snatchings).

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

["lee n. field"]

I'm gonna guess Missler.

"reading a novelette by some dispy-wacko "

Salem Kirban, perhaps?
