Someone told me NASA has an entire city of American astronauts who have been living deep in a tunnel in the moon since 1973. Funded by the Trilateral Commission and protected from radiation and meteors, their computers are far superior to anything on Earth. They’ve created a special electronic language so they can talk with beings on other planets. Their entire food supply comes from a special green moss that tastes like manna.
I smiled when I heard that. But, like so many other rumors, it contains a smidgen of fact.
According to a recent edition of the Washington Post, there truly IS a tunnel in the moon, 300 feet below the moon’s surface and more than 30 miles long.
The Japanese discovered it in 2008, using their Kaguya Orbiter. One night, while cruising along 60 miles above the Marius Hills, the orbiter photographed a giant hole in the moon’s surface.
Then NASA got involved with GRAIL (the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory), which surveyed the moon. When it flew over the Marius Hills, the GRAIL detected something long and hollow beneath the surface. In fact, it extended more than 30 miles from the originally discovered hole.
And the stories began. When a thread of truth gets woven into something beyond the facts, we get fake news and wild theories. That’s nothing new.
In the 1800s, when photographers began capturing images on glass and film, many church people decried these “graven images” as a grievous sin.
When President Kennedy promised to put a man on the moon, others preached, “If we touch the moon, we will desecrate it. God will have to destroy us before we destroy space.”
While some believed God would punish us for replacing horses with autos, others declared that translating the Bible into the vernacular would confound our ability to hear God’s true voice.
“Latin only! English would bring the Tower of Babel again!”
Have Islamic extremists really found a way to turn unsuspecting trick-or-treating children into sleeper agents? Every month brings great new conspiracy theories, amazing inventions, worse films, greater sexual deviance, genocides and other evils that “prove” the devil is winning and God is going to have to wipe us all out. Maybe it will be on Christmas — after all, some say it’s really just a pagan holiday.
“Jesuits are everywhere!”
“We will be conquered from within!”
“Get off the grid.”
“Have you heard about the Moon Tunnel Colony?”
Wait! The prophet Daniel says that none of this is worth your personal distress.
“At that time,” the great statesman wrote in Dan.12:1, “Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people — everyone whose name is found written in the book — will be delivered" (emphasis added).
Yes, the end of the world is coming. Rather than being upset or fearful about it, be aware and get excited! God’s deliverance is about to break through! He has won! Michael is on His way! Victory is ours!
Troubles? Worried? Afraid of the Moon Dudes?
Make sure your name is in the Book! Then, sing the "Hallelujah Chorus"!
