Pre-Article Disclaimer for Newer Readers: If you are reading this blog for the first time or are not totally familiar with my work, I am a 100% Christian writer who analyzes things from a Christian point of view. I sometimes research into what the spiritual forces of evil are up to in hopes of gleaning information to help us Christians figure out what is going on or to figure out what Satan has planned. You can read more about why I dare consider these unbiblical sources at the following link Now on to the article...
Some of you may have noticed that I have not written about Benjamin Creme (the official spokesmen of Maitreya-the leader of the Ascended Masters-a group of spiritual beings mentioned in Ephesians 6:12 as the “spiritual wickedness in high places”) in awhile. The reason for this is that I’ve been waiting for the latest edition of Creme’s magazine to be published online. The new edition of the magazine was supposed to be out in late January, but it seems it won’t be posted until the later part of February…
Some of you may have also noticed that I have not written about the alleged UFO sighting above the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The reason I did not write about the sighting was that I was not completely sure that what appeared was a UFO. Here is some video of the alleged sighting in case you’re not aware of what happened: Link
- Note: I don’t make the title of these videos…
I have also not written about the appearance of a strange “horsemen” that apparently manifested in Cairo’s Tahrir Square last week. The reason for that is I was simply unaware that this event took place. If you have not seen it, here is video of the "horsemen’s" appearance (the appearance begins at 1.19 of the video): Link
A reader informed me that Benjamin Creme just issued a press release about the alleged UFO sighting above the Temple Mount and the appearance of the “horsemen” in Cairo. Creme claims in the press release that the object that appeared over the Temple Mount was one of the four UFOs responsible for producing the “star sign” of Maitreya’s coming and that the appearance of a rider on a "white horse” was a “blessing” from Maitreya.
Today I’ll critique each claim and provide you with some of my thoughts about these events.
The Star Sign
A second video of the object appearing over the Temple Mount (more specifically the Dome of the Rock) reminds me of the pictures and videos that Creme has posted on his website of the “star sign”. The object that supposedly appeared over the Temple Mount pulsates like the object appearing in the videos and in the pictures. The following is this second video (unfortunately someone uses profanity in the video so be warned) Link
The object that appeared above the Dome of the Rock in the second video appears to be smaller than the dome itself, which is a little bit less than 21 meters in diameter. However, Creme stated in April 2010 that each UFO responsible for creating the star sign was five football/soccer fields in diameter, which is a lot bigger than the Dome of the Rock. Given this discrepancy, it seems that Creme is not being truthful about either the nature of the object that appeared over the Temple Mount or the size of the UFOs creating the star sign…
The “White Horse”
In addition to claiming that the rider on the “white horse” was a blessing from Maitreya, Creme also claimed that Maitreya often appears as “the Rider on a White Horse”
“Maitreya has often appeared as the Rider on a White Horse - an age-old symbol for a teacher to come. Many now expect the return of their awaited Teacher, whether they call him the Christ, Messiah, the fifth Buddha, Krishna, Kalki Avatar or the Imam Mahdi”.
Maitreya’s false claim to represent the messianic figures expected by all the world’s major religions might shed some light into Creme’s claim that Maitreya has often appeared as “the Rider on a White Horse”. The Kalki Avatar is a messianic figure in Hinduism who is prophesized to appear as a rider on a white horse.
- Therefore, I suspect Creme was suggesting that Maitreya has appeared as the Kalki Avatar when he says Maitreya has often appeared as "the Rider on a White Horse" in his press release.
The appearance of a figure on a “white horse” is not exactly something positive for Christians. As you probably know, Revelation 6:1-2 mentions a rider on a white horse with a bow going out to conquer:
- Rev 6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
- Rev 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
Most Christians would link the rider on the white horse mentioned in Revelation 6:1-2 with the Antichrist instead of a messianic figure...
The weakness of Creme’s claim about a rider on a “white horse” appearing in Cairo is that the color of the “horsemen” does not appear to be white. I have 20/20 eyesight and a very good graphics card on my laptop, yet I don’t see anything about the “horsemen's” color that appears white-if anything the "horsemen" looks green. Here is another video of the "horsemen", which shows how greenish it looks. Link
- I am not the only one who noticed the lack of white color on the “horsemen”. A writer for World Net Daily wondered if the “horsemen” was the pale horse, which signifies the arrival of the fourth seal.
My Overall Assessment
Overall, I am skeptical of the validity of Creme’s most recent claims since there appears to be problems with each claim. I don’t rule out the possibility that something spiritually-related occurred with each event, but I question Creme’s account of the events and Creme’s interpretation of the meaning behind the events.
If something spiritual took place in Jerusalem and/or Cairo, I do not believe these events are linked with the appearance of the horsemen in the Book of Revelation. The primary reason is that the "covenant with many" has not been confirmed yet (Daniel 9:27), so we are not yet living in a time when the seals mentioned in the Book of Revelation are opened.
If something spiritual took place in Jerusalem and/or Cairo, I suspect these events were probably orchestrated by the spiritual forces of evil to further condition people into believing in the presence of UFOs (which some prominent Christian and non-Christian researchers conclude are actually evil spiritual entities attempting to lead people astray and is a view I agree with) and in the presence of spiritual beings on Earth.
- It is important to note that each event took place at high-profile locations at a time when people were watching closely what was going on, especially in Egypt. Whoever orchestrated these events probably was seeking to attract people’s attention...
Creme’s quick attempt to link these events to Maitreya also suggests that these events were not inspired by God…
I don’t expect everyone to agree with my assessment, but you know where I stand on these events now.
