Forgotten History: Truth About The 1955 Hopkinsville Alien Incident

 



What exactly happened on that August night in 1955 to a quiet
and peaceful farm family living near Hopkinsville, Kentucky?

Did they actually encounter space aliens a.k.a. demonic entities,
or was this incident merely a sensationalized hoax?

In this episode of Forgotten History, host Mike Droberg 
 takes a look back at this bizarre incident which sounds as
if it was covered up by our government and the military.

The suggestion that farm folks living out in the countryside, surrounded
 by wild creatures in nature, would mistake an owl for an 'alien' is ridiculous!

So you also must be patient. Establish your hearts, strengthen and confirm

Old November, sere and brown,

Clothes the country, haunts the town,

Sheds its cloak of withered leaves

Brings its sighing, soughing breeze.

Prophet of the dying year,

Builder of its funeral bier,

Bring your message here to men;

Sound it forth that they may ken

What of Life and what of Death

Linger on your frosty breath.

Let men known to you are given

Days of thanks to God in heaven;

Thanks for things we deem best,

Thanks, O God, for all the rest

That have taught us-(trouble, strife,

Bring through Death a larger life)-

Death of our base self and fear-

(Even as the dying year,

Though through cold and frost, shall bring

Forth a new and glorious spring)-

Shall shed over us the sway

Of a new and brighter day,

With Hope, Faith, and Love alway.

 that which concerns me; Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord,
endure forever-forsake not the works of Your own hands."

Flashback Friday: What Child Is This?

 




This beautiful Christmas song written by William Chatterton Dix in 1865 was 
 set to the tune of the traditional English medieval folk song, "Greensleeves".  

Although the second stanza of this song:

"Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through,
The cross shall be borne for me, for you.
Hail, hail, the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the son of Mary."

which tells the reason why Jesus came, to die on the cross for the
sins of mankind, is usually skipped over in order to keep the song
upbeat with the joy of His birth as the Savior of the world, this
version of "What Child Is This?" sung by the angelic voice of
 lovely country artist Martina McBride is one of the
best renditions I have ever heard.


What Child Is This?

To Thee, O Lord Our Hearts We Raise

 



"And you shall keep the Feast of Harvest (Pentecost), acknowledging the
firstfruits of your toil, of what you sow in the field. And third you shall 
keep the Feast of Ingathering (Booths or Tabernacles) at the end of
the year, when you gather in the fruit of your labors from the field."
(Exodus 23:16)

To Thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise

In hymns of adoration,

To Thee bring sacrifice of praise

With shouts of exultation.


Bright robes of gold the fields adorn,

The hills with joy are ringing,

The valleys stand so thick with corn

That even they are singing.


And now, on this our festal day,

Thy bounteous hand confessing,

Upon Thine altar, Lord, we lay

The firstfruits of Thy blessing.

By Thee all human souls are led

With gifts of grace supernal;

Thou, who gives us our daily bread,

Give us the bread eternal.


We bear the burden of the day,

And often toil seems dreary;

But labor ends with sunset ray,

And rest comes for the weary.


May we, the angel reaping o'er,

Stand at last accepted,

Christ's golden sheaves, forevermore

To garners bright elected.


O blessed is that land of God

Where saints abide forever,

Where golden fields spread fair and broad,

Where flows the crystal river.


The strains of all its holy throng

With ours today are blending;

Twice blessed is that harvest song

Which never hath an ending.

Monday Meditation: He Gives Power To The Faint And Weary

 



"Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord,
the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint or grow weary;
 there is no searching of His understanding.  

He gives power to the faint and weary, and to them who have no might
  He increases strength, causing it to multiply and make it to abound.

 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and select young men
 shall feebly stumble and fall exhausted.

But those who wait for the Lord shall change and renew their strength
and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up close to God as eagles
mount up to the sun; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk
and not faint or become tired."
(Isaiah 40:28-31)



Mount Up With Wings Like Eagles

 "Three times I (Paul) called upon the Lord and besought Him about this ( a thorn
  in the flesh, a messenger of Satan) and begged that it might depart from me.

  But He said to me, My grace, My favor and loving-kindness and mercy 
 is enough for you, sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear
 trouble manfully; for My strength and power are made perfect, fulfilled
and completed, and show themselves most effective in your weakness.
Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weakness and infirmities,
that the strength and power of Christ the Messiah may rest,
 yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell upon me!"
(II Corinthians 12:8-9)

"Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,
who have borne testimony to the Truth, let us strip off and throw aside every
encumbrance, unnecessary weight, and that sin which so readily, deftly and
cleverly clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patience endurance and
 steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us.

Looking away from all that will distract to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the
Source of our faith, giving the first incentive for our belief, and is also its Finisher,
bringing it to maturity and perfection.  He,  for the joy of obtaining the prize that
was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame,
and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Just think of Him Who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and
bitter hostility against Himself, reckon up and consider it all in comparison
with your trials, so that you may not grow weary and exhausted,
losing heart and relaxing and fainting in your minds."
(Hebrews 12:1-3)

A Return To Simple Faith

Our Father, remove from us the sophistication of our age 

and the skepticism that has come, like frost, 

to blight our faith and to make it weak.

Bring us back to a faith that makes great and strong,

 a faith that enables us to love and to live, 

the faith by which we are triumphant, and the

faith by which alone we can walk with Thee.

We pray for a return of that simple faith,

 that old-fashioned trust in God,

that made strong and great

 the homes of our ancestors

 who built this good land and who

  in building left us our heritage.


In the strong name of Jesus our Lord

 we make this prayer.

Amen.

The Pilgrims came across the sea,

And never thought of you and me;

And yet its very strange the way

We think of them Thanksgiving Day.

We tell their story old and true

Of how they sailed across the blue,

And found a new land to be free

And built their homes quite near the sea.

Every child knows well the tale

Of how they bravely turned the sail,

And journeyed many a day and night,

To worship God as they thought right.

The people think that they were sad,

And grave; I'm sure that they were glad-

They made Thanksgiving Day-that's fun-

We thank the Pilgrims, every one!


"Out of small beginnings great things have been produced, 
as one small candle may light a thousand."

Flashback Friday: God Will Make A Way

 




"For we walk by faith, not by sight."
(2 Corinthians 5:7)


In keeping with the theme of Thanksgiving, this classic worship song
by American singer-songwriter Don Moen reminds me that although
many of us have become weary travelers in this lost and fallen world,
God has a plan and purpose for those who love and honor His name
and who place their trust in Him.

Despite what we see or hear, God is very much in control of everything!

Friday Focus: A Song Of Thanksgiving

 




God be merciful and gracious to us and bless us

 and cause His face to shine upon us and among us.

Selah pause, and calmly think of that!

That Your way may be known upon earth, 

Your saving power, Your deliverances,

 and Your salvation among all nations.

Let the people praise You,

 turn away from their idols,

 and give thanks to You, O God;

 let all the peoples praise

 and give thanks to You.

O let the nations be glad and sing for joy,

 for You will judge the peoples fairly,

 and guide, lead, or drive 

the nations upon earth.

Selah pause, and calmly think of that!

Let the peoples praise You,

 turn away from their idols, 

and give thanks to You, O God,

let all the peoples praise 

and give thanks to You!

The earth has yielded its harvest

 in evidence of God's approval;

God even our own God, will bless us.

God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth

shall reverently fear Him.

Thursday's Thoughts: A Case Of Skewered Justice

 



"I want you to know that I am thinking about you and working everyday to
be the best wife I can be.  I'm focusing on God and He defines a faithful
Christian wife so I can best embody those characteristics."

-Words written in a journal by Laken Riley about becoming a future wife
 which were read aloud by her stepfather, John Phillips, in the courtroom,
after the conviction of her murderer.


Laken Riley


The illegal alien criminal Jose Antonio Ibarra was found guilty this week
in the vicious murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley.  

Ibarra, 26, who came to America illegally from Venezuela, waived
his right to a jury and left his fate in the hands of Superior Court
Judge H. Patrick Haggard, reports The Daily Signal.

Judge Haggard sentenced Ibarra to life in prison without parole.

The defendant was found guilty on 10 counts, including felony
murder and malice murder, aggravated assault with intent to rape,
kidnapping with bodily injury, and other charges according to FOX and CNN.

Last February, Laken, age 22, left her home to go for a morning run along 
 a wooded trail on the Athens campus of the University of Georgia when
she was attacked by the assailant.  Authorities determined that she
died from blunt force trauma and suffocation.

 Jose Ibarra smashed Laken Riley's skull with a rock.

Has justice really been served in this case?  While the guilty verdict may
bring some closure to Laken's grieving family, what about the reality
that this horrible crime might never have happened if this Venezuelan 
gang member had not been let into our nation due to the failed 
border policies of the Biden-Harris Administration?

A young woman in the prime of her life was struck down by
 an illegal criminal alien who was flown-first to NYC
and then to Georgia-at the US taxpayers' expense, by a 
president who could not even say Laken Riley's name!

Adding insult to injury, at the State of the Union speech this year, Biden claimed
that he  'regretted' referring  to an undocumented immigrant as an 'illegal'
-in this case the murderer Jose Antonio Ibarra.  In a post-speech interview
 with MSNBC, Biden did not even mention the Laken Riley case.

Meanwhile, all VP Kamala Harris has done is blame Donald Trump for the 
 mess at the border when she had been appointed "Border Czar" by her boss!  
 But all her nit-picking against Trump did nothing to stop Ibarra from entering
the US illegally on her watch, and eventually murdering Laken Riley.

Both President Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris bear responsibility
in the death of Laken Riley and  other American citizens murdered by
  illegals in the past four years.  Their all-too obvious scheme to overwhelm
and destroy our nation from within by allowing unvetted illegals to
swamp our borders, flying them into major U.S. cities and supplying
them with welfare benefits, free healthcare, free education, free
housing in schools and hotels, etc. at the expense of the American
taxpayers, directly contributed to the death of this noble-minded
young woman who was aspiring to serve the needs of others
by studying to become a nurse. 

 As a mother, I cannot image the immeasurable sorrow that Laken's
family must feel in the cruel and senseless loss of their beautiful daughter.
 I pray that God will comfort them in His love and mercy and grant them His peace.

Rest well, Laken, in the tender arms of Jesus.

"For your Maker is your Husband-the Lord of hosts is His name-
and the Holy One of Israel your Redeemer; the God of the
whole earth He is called."
(Isaiah 54:5)









Rain, Blessed Rain! At Last!

 



  Last night, I was awakened by the sound of thunder rumbling in
  the distance.  I have not heard that sound for so long that at first
I thought it was an explosion.  Then, a little while later came a
sudden, solid drumbeat of heavy raindrops falling on the roof! 

 After almost three months of dry, drought-like conditions, poor
air quality due to excessive amounts of pollen from the trees,
( a bane to allergy sufferers like myself) and daily Red Flag
  warnings for wildfires, the Lord sent us some much needed rain!

Thank You Father for all Your blessings!

and teaches you righteousness and rains His righteous gift
of salvation upon you."

Wednesday's Word: The Rapture/How Close Do We Want To Be?

 





In this presentation, Christian apologist and founder of The Berean Call Ministries
Dave Hunt (1926-2013) shows from Scriptures that believers can be sure that Jesus Christ
indeed is Who He claimed to be, namely, the Son of God.  We can also rest assure that
He will do what He promised to do.  He will come again to take those who belong
to Him to be with Him forever.  We are living in times when many professing
Christians are doubting the validity of the forthcoming Rapture.

God's Word clearly tell us that the Rapture, or the catching up of the Body of Christ
to meet the Lord "in the air" will happen one day. (1Thessalonians 4:13-18).

God's promises are real.  God also works in appointed times and seasons. 
Although we do not know the day or the hour of the Lord's return, God does.
The time is approaching with every passing day.  

  Jesus also told us that He will come at a time that no one expects.

Monday Meditation: Come To The Fountain Of Mercy And Live



 


"Wait and listen, everyone who is thirsty! Come to the waters;
and he who has no money, come, buy and eat!  Yes, come, buy
priceless spiritual wine and milk without money and without price
simply for the self-surrender that accepts the blessing."
(Isaiah 55:1)

"I Jesus, have sent My messenger angel to you to witness and to give
you assurance of these things for the assemblies.  I AM the Root, the
 Source and the Offspring of David, the radiant and brilliant Morning Star.

The Holy Spirit and the bride, the church, the true Christianity, say, "Come!"
And let him who is listening say, Come! And let everyone come who is thirsty,
who is painfully conscious of his need of those things by which the soul is
refreshed, supported, and strengthened; and whoever earnestly desires to do it,
 let him come, take, appropriate, and drink the water of Life without cost."
(Revelation 22:16-17)



"Jesus answered her, If you had only known and had recognized God's gift and
Who this is that is saying to you, "Give Me a drink" you would have asked Him
instead and He would have given you living water."
(John 4:10)


Living Water

Come to the fountain of mercy and live,

Come, and a pardon receive;

Drink of the water that Jesus will give,

Freely to those that believe;


Weary and burdened with sorrow,

Sweet is the message to thee,

Learn of the meek and the lowly,

Come, heavy laden to Me.

Come to the clear flowing river,

Drink of its waters forever,

Hungry and thirsty, O! never,

Blessed are they that believe!

Happy the nation whose God is the Lord;

Hearing in meekness and love

Counsels of wisdom and truth in His Word,

Looking for comfort above;


He is their Rock and Salvation,

He is their Strength and their Song,

Onward from glory to glory,

Leading them gently along.

Come to the clear flowing river,

Drink of its waters forever,

Hungry and thirsty, O! never,

Blessed are they that believe!

Look unto Jesus, ye regions of earth,

Victor of death and the grave,

Though He was humble, and lowly His birth

He is the mighty to save.


Why should we wander in darkness?

Why to the world should we cling?

Hope, like a bird, is before us,

Pluming her beautiful wing.

Come to the clear flowing river,

Drink of its waters forever,

Hungry and thirsty, O! never,

Blessed are they that believe!

Let No Weapon Formed Against You Prosper

 



"But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue
that shall rise against you in judgment  you shall show to be in the wrong.
This peace, righteousness, security, triumph over the opposition, is the
heritage of the servants of the Lord, those in whom the ideal Servant
of the Lord is reproduced; this is the righteousness or the vindication which
 they obtain from Me, this is that which I impart to them as their justification."
(Isaiah 54:17)



 American President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu




PSALM 54


Save me, O God, by Your name; judge and vindicate me

 by Your mighty strength and power.

Hear my pleading and my prayer, O God; 

give ear to the words of my mouth.

For strangers and insolent men are rising up against me,

 and violent men and ruthless ones seek and demand my life;

 they do not see God before them.

Selah pause, and calmly think of that!

Behold, God is my helper and ally;

 the Lord is my upholder and is

with them who uphold my life.

He will pay back evil to my enemies;

 in Your faithfulness Lord, put an end to them.

With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to You;

 I will give thanks and praise

Your name, O Lord, for it is good.

For He has delivered me out of every trouble, 

and my eyes have looked in triumph on my enemies.




"God is faithful, though men are not to be trusted, and it is well for us it is so.
David has no other plea to defend upon than God's name, no other power upon
than God's strength, and these he makes his refuge and confidence.
 This would be the effectual answer to his prayers.

Looking unto David, betrayed by the men of Judah, and to Jesus, betrayed by one
of His apostles, what can we expect from any who have not set God before them,
save ingratitude, treachery, malice and cruelty?

What bonds of nature, or friendship, or gratitude, or covenant, will hold
those that have broken through the fear of God?  

Selah, Mark this: Let us set God before us at all times;
for if we do not, we are in danger of despair."

-Matthew Henry's Commentary
