Where do you get all this information (9 types etc.)?
Goodness . . . sources?
What--let me think . . . 1961 to 2005 . . . 44 years of studying the topic . . . a close relative who worked around them. . . a number of other close friends and associates with jobs and/or interesting contact experiences. . . Maybe 100-200 books, or more . . . countless articles.
Nowadays, the stuff is all over the net. Of course, filtering out more significant puzzle pieces from utter chaff is not a GREAT DEAL easier.
At this point, it kind of all mushes together. I don't even get a lot of the books any more. And some that I do, I just skip the standard info chapters. I tend to collect puzzle pieces of a wide diversity of interest topics. This is one of the more intensely attended topics.
I don't put much stock in a given puzzle piece unless there have been many diverse unconnected sources saying, essentially, the same thing. Sometimes I sort of internally rate some info higher because of the relationship I have with the person and know them to be generally honest, sharp observers etc.
For a long time, the goal was to find out which side they were likely to be on in terms of Biblically predicted end time events and geopolitics. That now seems clear to me. They are on the side of helping bring the globalist evil puppet masters & AntiChrist to power.
At this point, I don't think it matters enormously whether they are demons housed in bioengineered living 'suits,' fallen angels or ET's from other civilizations in other galaxies or all of the above. There appear to be few if any 'races' which are truly benign and on God's side.
Thankfully, that's of no consequence to God. God and one person are still a majority. Besides that, He has 2/3rds of the angels left after the fall plus unlimited capacity to create more AND the power of His spoken Word--amongst other 'resources.'
I still have a hunch that they are going to be involvd in the GREAT DECEPTION spoken of in The Bible for these end times. Satan and whatever critters in his influence have had millenia to concoct all manner of holographic and other kinds of slick hoaxes to discredit Scriptures and God.
Shoot, there are even some characters in our land who believe that satan will win the battle at Armageddon! Perhaps Shrillery and Billdo are among them.
Anyway--a 1,500 lb answer to a 5 oz question . . .
