This article is not science fiction. If you've never heard of The Ashtar Command (TAC), you may think it's that because it sounds like something out of a science fiction novel. It's not, unfortunately. It is actual New Age "theology" that in many ways, is very similar to Dominion Theology and Kingdom Now.
Let me start by saying that there are numerous religions that connect to aliens; creatures believed to be from other planets and even other galaxies throughout the universe. Scientology is one of these and as members of Scientology rise through the ranks, they gain more information about these aliens and their plans to "help" the people of planet earth.
But of course, Scientology is not the only religion that believes aliens play a part in the salvation of earth and its people. In general, the entirety of the New Age movement itself is filled with all sorts beliefs related to aliens. Most of the time, these are referred to as angels, ascended masters or guides. But when you take the time to really study specific New Age writers, it is amazing how many of them eventually refer to alien-type beings as having evolved to a point where they are concerned about what we people are doing to our planet. Their main concern seems to be the constant threat of war and actual wars and skirmishes that break out onto this planet all the time. Accordingly, it's because it will somehow effect them, so they have broken into our orbit and timeline with efforts to help us de-escalate. Judging from the many wars in just my lifetime, I'd say they've failed miserably.
One thing President Trump did correctly was not getting the USA into any new wars. Every other president before him had the USA involved in at least one war. Many presidents seemed to collect wars like notches on their belts.
In this article, I'm not going to go into real depth regarding Dominion Theology. I'll provide a list of main points with references and I would encourage people to continue their research. What will be learned is that many Christians believe in some form of Dominion Theology (without actually calling it that). In essence, they believe it is the Christian's job to work to create a better world.
Dominion theology states that biblical Christianity will rule all areas of society, personal and corporate. Christian reconstructionism reasons that society will be reconstructed by the Law of God as preached in the gospel and the Great Commission. [1]
Dominion Theology is also known as theonomy. "Adherents believe that we currently exist under the covenant of grace, that the church and Israel are the same, and we are now in the millennial Kingdom of God. Man, under the covenant of grace, is responsible to rule the world, to hold dominion over it in obedience to the laws of God." [2]
So, for those who side with Dominion Theology, they believe it is the Christian's job to work hard to bring this planet under the control of the laws of God. If we add Kingdom Now theology to the mix, the problems, in my opinion, become more clear.
Kingdom Now theology is a theological belief within the Charismatic movement of Protestant Christianity, mainly in the United States. Kingdom Now proponents believe that God lost control over the world to Satan when Adam and Eve sinned. Since then, the theology goes, God has been trying to reestablish control over the world by seeking a special group of believers—known variously as "covenant people," "overcomers," or "Joel’s army"—and that through these people, social institutions (including governments and laws) would be brought under God’s authority. The belief is that, since believers are indwelt by the same Holy Spirit that indwelt Jesus, we have all authority in heaven and on the earth; we have the power to believe for and speak into existence things that are not, and thus we can bring about the Kingdom Age.
