Note: This is not the typical subject matter for The TRUTH Under FIRE due to its conjectural nature in many of its aspects. That was why I originally created The RED PILL Consortium blog – but as I am intending on archiving that site, I wanted to glean the more pertinent articles from that source and include them here.
After all, this subject matter does in fact deal with deceptions of Satan that began from the start of the rebellion, have been promulgated throughout time, and continues today. It’s our desire to “herald truth” and to expose the evil plans and deceptions of the enemy. And unless you are a born again, Bible believing Christian, you’ll not be able to appreciate all that this entails.
Due to the enormity of information on this subject and the amount of coverage I desire to address, this will more than likely be covered in a series of articles.
U.F.O.'s or UAP’s which has become the more popular term and E.B.E.'s (extraterrestrial biologic entities):
Are they real or contrived? Are they within the scope of reality or merely wishful thinking? If such beings do exist elsewhere in the universe, what are they like? What are their interests in us and our world? And why would they be visiting planet Earth? Are they benevolent, or inimical to the human race, or perhaps some of both?

Ch. 5 in JOSHUA: CONQUERING The ENEMY, INHERITING The LAND
INTRODUCTION: We have a major transition in this chapter that begins with verse 13, when General Joshua receives his “orders from headquarters” – from the Holy One of Israel Himself! From this point on, it’s not about Israel entering the land, but conquering the land which GOD promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and for all of the people of Israel (PSALM 105:9-15).
Reviewing the outline which we produced at the beginning of this study:
1) ENTERING THE PROMISED LAND – the people of Israel cross over the Jordan into Canaan (JOSH 1:1-5:12): Joshua leads the nation (about 1-2 million Hebrews, representing the next generation, as the first generation – with the exception of Joshua and Caleb – all perished in the wilderness because of their unbelief).
2) CONQUERING THE PROMISED LAND – The nation begins their GOD-ordained mandate to take the land promised to them (JOSH 5:13-12:24): Joshua strikes the central area of Canaan, then turns to the south and conquers those regions of Canaan. He turns about and takes down the regents in northern Canaan.

TRIUMPHANT TRILOGIES – Examining JOHN 15,16 & 17: Ch. 15 Pt. 1 of 3
Examining JOHN 15 – Part 1 of 3
INTRODUCTION: It’s been said that “imitation is the best form of flattery” – that is to say, that which is esteemed is copied. And on a purely human level, we can and often do copy one another because we see something worthy in someone, something commendable, something we feel should get propagated.
Yet when it comes to the Christian life, while of all people who ever lived, none comes close to the life and heart of Christ Jesus, we cannot imitate Him by our own power or efforts! We need the Holy Spirit (hence one of the primary reasons for the necessity of spiritual rebirth) in order to imitate Christ. Apostle Paul encouraged the Corinthian church to imitate his example as he himself imitated Christ’s own (1 COR 4:16; 11:1).
And it’s a joy to our LORD to see our petitions for Him to enable us in following Him! We need to be intentional in our cultivating the life of Christ in us with all that the LORD has provided us with, and this brings us to JOHN 15!
JOHN 15:1
"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
Notice that here Christ refers to Himself as “the true vine”, as opposed to a false one, or an unproductive one?
Who else is referred to as a vineyard in Scripture?
ISAIAH 5:1-4
1 Now let me sing to my Well-beloved A song of my Beloved regarding His vineyard: My Well-beloved has a vineyard On a very fruitful hill. 2 He dug it up and cleared out its stones and planted it with the choicest vine. He built a tower in its midst and also made a winepress in it; So He expected it to bring forth good grapes, But it brought forth wild grapes. 3 "And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, Judge, please, between Me and My vineyard. 4 What more could have been done to My vineyard That I have not done in it? Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes, Did it bring forth wild grapes?
I believe this is GOD the Father speaking to His “Well-beloved” His only begotten Son, the LORD Jesus. We know that the vineyard referred to in this chapter is Israel (vs. 7), and it was because Israel was not upright in heart before the LORD, that the beginnings of apostasy had taken root that the LORD sent Isaiah the Prophet to them, and warn of coming judgment.
How long did GOD warn Israel and plead with them to turn back to Him? More than 150 years!
So then when the Son of Abraham, the Son of David (MATT 1:1), Y’shua Mashiach (Jesus Christ) came, He did always those things that pleased the Father and indeed brought forth an abundance of the very best of spiritual fruit – and He continues to do so today, through His body, the church!

WALKING IN WISDOM: PROV 28 - Lifestyles of the Poor and Righteous
INTRODUCTION: Once we finish this chapter, we have only three more to go before we complete the book of PROVERBS! Pastor Sonny directed me to turn my attention to the book of Psalms afterwards and I’m excited! The Psalms are rich with encouraging counsel, the worship of GOD in all His majesty, there are uplifting and joyous verses that set our souls ablaze with contented gladness; Psalms has a fair share of prophecy, and even some historical content.
Yet as we continue in the book of Proverbs, we are so grateful for GOD’s wisdom made available to us in these pages! When you have access to the counsels of the Creator, what need to we have for Humanistic, Psychological philosophies? Amen?

WHERE ARE YOU STANDING – ON THE PROMISES OF GOD?
Regarding Israel and all the promises GOD has made with His people, including covenants and blessings, we know that the LORD will be as faithful to those promises as He has always been.
ROMANS 11:29
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable (not able to be changed, reversed, or altered in any way).
NUMBERS 23:19
"God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
GOD is a GOD of Truth, Who cannot lie, and yet we have this passage out of PSALM 89:
PSALM 89:35-37
Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David: 36 His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before Me; 37 it shall be established forever like the moon, even like the faithful witness in the sky."

The G.E.P.C Study – PHILIPPIANS 3 – PART 1 of 2
Going Through Paul’s epistles to Galatia, Ephesus, Philippi, and Colossae
INTRODUCTION: The joy of the saint is counterintuitive to the mind of this world system. In fact, it’s typically diametrically opposite. We don’t express our satisfaction, contentment, peace and joy by the things in our lives or even of this world so much as by the Person of Christ. It’s why this truth resounds so powerfully in our hours of trial and woe:
“the joy of the LORD is your strength.” (NEH 8:10c; PSA 21:1).
This is also why we acknowledge the fruit of the Spirit as something apart from mere human emotion. I can be happy in my circumstances that are favorable – and equally unhappy about those that are not!
But our peace and joy are based on the grace of GOD that runs independently of our circumstances. This allows the saint who is walking in the Spirit to have a life of stability, on the ROCK of our salvation – even when the floor drops out from under their feet!
1 SAMUEL 2:2
"No one is holy like the LORD, For there is none besides You, nor is there any rock like our God. (See EXOD 15:11; De 3:24; 4:35; 32:4,30-31; 2Sa 22:1-51; Ps 86:8; 89:6,8)
So we continue now in our study of PHILIPPIANS and take half of Chapter 3…
