I get all that and I also believe that, after the Christ, we will be living something what we see on Star Trek.
However, I do not believe that we will be interacting with aliens just yet. It’s for our protection. How do you tell a God following alien and a deceiver, if both are saying almost the same thing?
We are not equipped to deal with the universe until after the Messiah, imo.
No, it is for THEIR protection. Just read these threads. How many immediately jump to fear, demons, and a "bag limit"?
