Thy Kingdom Come
Religious flying saucer movement
History
Thy Kingdom Come was published in 1959, blending UFO and flying saucer content with religious and spiritual themes. The publication carried articles on "The Physical, Spiritual, and Economic Emancipation of Man" and "Prior Choice Economics," presenting the flying saucer phenomenon within a framework of spiritual transformation and social reform. Content was attributed to disciples and believers, indicating a quasi-religious organisational structure.
The title itself, drawn from the Lord's Prayer, signals the publication's theological framing. Flying saucers were not merely visitors from another planet but agents of divine will, arriving to assist humanity through a period of spiritual crisis. The economic reform content (Prior Choice Economics, emancipation of man) suggests a utopian community with a social programme that went well beyond sighting reports. This kind of synthesis, merging saucer contact with millenarian expectation and economic reform, was more common in the late 1950s than most histories of the period acknowledge.
