'False prophet phenomenon': Filmmakers explore UFO summoner's claims
Apparently a man calling himself Prophet Yahweh was in Mooresville, IN a couple weeks ago attempting to summon UFO's. There's a video as well as an explanation of his beliefs at the Reporter Times article, linked above.
This is Patrick Cooke from bibleufo.com on Prophet Yahweh:
He [Prophet Yahweh] wants to gather black Israelites, take them to the desert and wait for the return of Yahweh, whom he says is a superhuman black man.They will take Yahweh and his followers to the Middle East and take leadership.
So, the filmmakers convinced him to come to Indiana from Las Vegas, but why Mooresville, IN?! Seems very random and kind of strange that a black nationalist cult leader would end up in the heart of klan country.
And, this biblical-ufo cult stuff is new to me--so, just so we're clear about how the UFO's tie in with Yahweh's beliefs, this is from Wikipedia:
Prophet Yahweh espouses a similar belief system of previous contactees and founders of UFO religions, stating that Yahweh and his angels are extraterrestrial beings and that UFOs are their manifestations. Furthermore, he claims that Yahweh in particular is an extremely powerful being residing on a distant planet who controls many if not all of the mechanisms of the universe and creation, he is thus the central figure in the Universe and is the real identity of the figure worshipped by the Abrahamic religions.

i have a wealth of useless knowledge. really...
I guess I never realized Heaven's Gate was a UFO cult... I remember hearing the cult name a lot when all those suicides happened, but it was so sensationalized I don't think the news was super explicit as to what their cult was all about.
