VFTB 133: Dr Michael Heiser – The Facade

HOW WOULD you respond to the news that life exists elsewhere in the universe?  More to the point, how would your view of the Bible change if ET landed on the White House lawn tomorrow?Those questions are central to the plot of The Facade, the thought-provoking novel by Dr. Michael Heiser, academic editor for Logos Bible Software and a scholar of Biblical Hebrew and ancient Israelite and Egyptian history.  He's also a well-regarded ufologist, and he manages to bring those seemingly diverse areas of study together in the special edition of The Facade, newly released by Kirkdale Press.We discuss the evidence for contact, how the U.S. government appears to be preparing for a disclosure event, and why Christians believe the abductee phenomenon has a spiritual goal.  For more background on Mike's thinking on this issue, see his series, "Fundamentalists and ET".Click here for the PDF chart comparing the experiences of abductees with those of ritual abuse survivors.Mike Heiser is one of the 40+ speakers and presenters at Future Congress 2 January 4-6, 2013 in Dallas.  For more information and to register, please visit www.FutureCongress.com.Please join the discussion at the PID Radio Cafe, visit the VFTB Facebook page and check out the great Christian podcasters at the Revelations Radio Network.
