The Pastors Were Briefed First

In late April 2026 — before the public release — Tennessee evangelist Perry Stone publicly claimed in a video that a group of pastors had been privately briefed by individuals connected to U.S. intelligence about the coming disclosure. He described the message delivered at the briefing: prepare your congregations. What is about to be released will challenge what they believe about creation, about the nature of life in the universe, and about the reliability of Scripture.

Other voices corroborated the core of Stone's account. Evangelist Tony Merkel said he had been in contact with the officials involved for over a year, describing them as Christians in intelligence operations specifically assigned to prepare what he called "the body of Christ" for what was coming. Bishop Alan DiDio and others also publicly described attending meetings with similar content. At least one pastor later acknowledged that some of his public statements had conflated his own conclusions with what he was specifically told.

No government memo, official invitation, or transcript has surfaced. The government has not confirmed the meetings, nor has it denied them. The briefing details as reported: no phones, no recordings, attendees instructed to prepare their people.

Then, on April 19, 2026 — before the public release and before Stone's viral video — Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, who chairs the House task force on UAP transparency, posted on social media a single instruction to the public: "Read the Book of Enoch." She said she had seen photographic evidence of aircraft she believed were not made by mankind.

A sitting member of Congress, chair of the oversight body for government UAP disclosure, directing the American public to the Book of Enoch as interpretive context for what the government was about to release.

This sequence — pastors briefed, then Enoch recommended, then files released — is the pre-positioning this volume predicted before any of it occurred. The interpretive framework was being installed before the data arrived. That sequencing is not coincidence. Whether it is coordinated or whether it reflects the natural convergence of a culture already saturated with the ancient alien framework is a secondary question. The effect is identical either way.

★ Disciple Tip: The pastoral briefing is relevant regardless of whether the underlying meeting is fully confirmed. The public claim by named pastors was itself an act of pre-positioning the church's response. Examine what the briefing's framing assumed about the explanation for the phenomenon. The assumption is the point.
