It All Started in 1999 With The Zerubian Mysteries

If you thought things couldn't crazier with Eric King, get ready for even more.  It seems that in his constant quest to find something to believe in he wrote a book in 1999, The Zerubian Mysteries.

Is he trying to imitate L Ron Hubbard?   Hubbard wrote his science fiction novel to found a new cult.  King apparently wrote his own science fiction novel in order to start his own cult too.

Like Gerald Flurry and other crackpots of Armstrongism that had special books given to them by their friendly demons, this book was given to Eric King by Three Translators in 1999 while he was playing as a security guard.

<< *The following is from the ZERUBIAN MYTH..........and a very interesting part of the myth.

"Many have asked us what the word "Zerubian" means. Admittedly it is a word that can make ya giggle. Most will be surprised to find out that the word actually comes from the Bible. What? Yep, it comes from the Christian Bible. However, the name came to the author in a very strange way.

In July of 1998 on the 26th day a supernatural event occurred in the authors life, one of many. While the author of the Zerubian Mysteries was receiving revelations for his book in the basement of an old hospital where he worked as a security guard, all the power went out. As he walked down the dark basement hallway to get to the stairs he heard a voice, the voice of a female. The voice was unclear but it seemed to be that way on purpose. Then it spoke again but this time with clarity and said; "Light will come forth in the darkness." As the author got to the stair way, next to the elevator, the voice stopped. [note: The author now considers this incident to be some kind of initiation.] He went upstairs to the first floor and everybody was looking outside.

A bizarre wind had picked up out of nowhere and the sky became overcast, which was strange for July. He went out a back door of the hospital and to his surprise a spiral of wind swept right in front of him full of leaves and dust. As he looked up he noticed a shinny disk about fifteen feet over his head. At that instant dust filled his eyes and he had to close them. Upon clearing his eyes the female voice said to him: "Zerub, it is me...Mishel-lea, your third Translator." After this, the sky cleared, the sun came out, and the author received a feeling of inner peace.

That same day he went to a female friend of his who told him: "You know that book your working on? A name came to me . . . you could call it the Zerubian Mysteries." He then explained to his friend what had happened and what he had seen.

Three days after this event the author had a dream. In this dream an ethereal being appeared to him which was in the form of a 'Grey'. The author explains that in this dream he was standing in a light and the being opened a book and pointed to a passage for the author to read. The passage read; "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts . . . The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you."

The morning after this dream he found where this passage was in the Bible and he showed his female friend. That same day his female friend got on her computer and typed out the verse and they contemplated it together. After this series of occurrences the author felt compelled to name the revelations he received: "The Zerubian Myth, The Book Of Zerub".

Since then the authors three Personal Translators have given him further revelations regarding the word "Zerubian" and the word "Zerub". Here is three points of that knowledge:

1.) the word 'zerub' means 'seed' in the Hebrew

2.) the English word 'Zerubian' is equivalent to the Hebrew word 'Zerubbabel'

3.) the word 'Zerubbabel' means "seed which gives LIFE to Babylon"

"And according to the prophecy of Zechariah chapter four God calls Zerubbabel [the Zerubian message] to come forth to [help] finish building the "house" [human body/consciousness] by planting the seed [zerub] of Quantum-Level-One knowledge [Kingdom of God knowledge] [those having seven eyes, open energy centers- shall see it]."

*There is much more to this story but this is the basic facts regarding the word "Zerubian" and the coming forth of the Zerubian Mysteries.

So how does this tie into Eric King?  The above was written by him as pointed out on his web site today with the following post:

COGSR & SOCT (SOCT before it was SOCT started as early as 1999 with the “Zerubian Myth”

COGSR & SOCT students have been around for a long time. Mr. Eric W. King wrote his book about ET technology in 1999 called: “The Zerubian Myth ~ The Book of Zerub”. This was a semi fictitional book. There are still some older UFO information sites that speak about this book. After years of studying religion and philosophy he started COGSR [Church of God Speaking to the Remnant]. This ministry went worldwide in a mere 2 ½ years. Eric completed 8 study guides and taught throughout the United States.

In October of 2011 Eric also started a science group which was dedicated to investigating the matter of human consciousness. This group was a small group made up of serious COGSR students. Eric’s older book “The Zerubian Myth” can be found sometimes online.

"Is There Anything About UCG That's Not Dishonest?"

A reader here writes his first hand experience with the United Church of God:

It looks like he (Gary Petty) has a ton of makeup on. To me, the smug is overwhelmed by the fakery.

Even back when I was a member of UCG, I always thought what emanated from Cincinnati was, not smug exactly, but more of a goody-two-shoes fake super"nice"ness. It's the conceit that "we know how to live perfectly, and you don't." It's the 2nd grade schoolyard attitude of the "teacher's pet" who thinks they know more than everyone else, thinks they're better than everyone else, and condescending wants to "help" everyone else. They also think they can get away with anything because the teacher is always going to take their side. These Cincinnati "home office" folk think that they're "god's pet." It's unappealing in a second-grader, absolutely repellent in an adult! It's present at the institutional level and nobody projects this more than Steve Meyers, but runner-up would be Gary Petty. I guess the cherry on top is how hard they work to "scrub" not just their own images as "pets," but how hard they've been working to "scrub" UCG's image, trying to deny it's own history and pretend it's not still an HWA-worshiping cult. As if, with all the botox and plastic surgery, we don't know how old the aging movie star is. The deniability isn't plausible.

Not being anywhere near Cincinnati, I didn't have to worry about it too much, how fake and vain those "nice" folks might be. I always guessed they weren't "nice" at all. They just keep all that "human nature" stuff under wraps, you know, the political intrigue, the back-stabbing, the lying, cheating, and stealing. "Nice" people are capable of all the same behaviors as your typical third-world tyrant. All it takes is one little split and you can see the real people under the fake masks and the make-up they all wear. You can see exactly what turds they really are, no guesswork required. As if the deniability ever was plausible? All the scrubbing in the world isn't going to make any difference to me.

UCG wants to present itself as a "mainstream church" full of "nice" people. Is there anything about UCG that's not dishonest? Who needs a dishonest religion? Fish, I'd like you to meet bicycle.

One Man's Journey: Trying To Find A Place In A "Culture" After Leaving Armstrongism

I was sent a link to this blog this morning by a reader here.  The blog, Washed in Tears, is about one man's journey of life in Armstrongism, leaving it, going back to to it and then leaving again because he had too questions that never got answered (thanks to Borg and Spong.)  He's been on a quest to find a "culture," a place where he fits in, like most of us thought we did when we were wrapped up in the Armstrongism.  It was our culture, our identity.  When that was ripped away or we walked away it was hard to find an identity that fit.

Reminisces

And I’ve come to realize that I have spent the last 28 or so years trying desperately to find a culture – any culture whatsoever – that I can claim and fit into and call my own.  A culture, and a family.
And today is the day it finally hit that I will not.  The culture I was raised in was far too penetrated, far too influential, far too ingrained into every aspect of my life.  When I was cast adrift out of the culture and the family – at around nine – all I had left were memories of what was, memories of what were ultimately not horrible experiences, and memories of that which never would be again.  First it was the disintegration of the family, and then, years later, it was the disintegration of the church.

And now, I’m nearly 39 years old, and I come to realize that I’m no closer to finding that kind of community and acceptance – the kind I had when I was very little – than I was all that many years ago.  I’ve come to realize that I’m still just as alone, just as much of an island, as I always have been.  Still just as much of a social recluse, a homeless man in every way but literally, a survivor and nothing more.
And as I try to work through Christianity, I find myself saying that I have an identity – of some type or other – with God.  Great.  I wish it was enough, but it’s not.  If it was enough, then why would I even exist on this realm in the first place?   It’s not enough.  The body of Christ still sees me as an interloper, and frankly, I’m not sure I think too highly of them either.  I ask too many questions, I don’t join the culture.

I don’t join the culture because

It’s

Not

MINE.
