Welcome to an exciting, and at times a bit spooky, look at a very controversial subject. There a certainly many opinions on the UFO phenomenon in our society today, however, I feel that unless a serious study of the subject is undertaken then no true answer can be found.

It is my intention with this presentation to shed some light on what is perhaps a very dark region in this day and age. It is absolutely imperative that we have even a basic understanding of the truth in order to proceed.

A. Jesus Christ; The Way, The Truth and The Life….

As we delve into some of the particulars of the UFO Phenomenon, we must always view everything in the light of Jesus’ words here. He is the Truth! One thing that will stand out as we navigate this subject is the tremendous amount of deception that surrounds it. Deception that, in my opinion, is both deliberate and methodical.

B. Spiritual Reality Check…

It is of great importance to know that we have several passages in the Bible that give us a glimpse into the spiritual world and the battle that rages on within it. Here is yet another basic truth that we should keep at the forefront of this study.

Yes friends, the Bible speaks clearly on the subject of the spiritual realm around our own. This will become significant as we progress through this study.

However…there is one last point to this introduction that must be discussed before we venture forward.

Jesus warned us that around the time of his return for the Church there would be widespread deception in the world. This has become a potent reality in our society today. Our adversary the Devil has gone through great and meticulous detail to remove the Word of God from just about every aspect of society.

God, the Bible and Christian values and morals have been under fire for some time in our society. Just like evolution’s main ideology, these truths are rapidly becoming extinct in our time.

Also of note is the consistent link between the UFO phenomenon and it’s associated religious undertones and the doctrines and beliefs of the evolutionists. I will show some of these comparisons later.

It is my opinion that the UFO phenomenon is yet one more weapon in Satan’s arsenal of lies and deceit. Albeit this particular strategy is gaining a lot of ground in recent years and by all indications will be increasing in the future.

Let’s look at what Jesus had to say about this subject of deception in the days of return…

Jesus warns us three times in this passage to be aware that deception would be the main theme in the Last Days. This is recorded again for us in Luke 21 and Mark 13, however Luke’s account has some rather peculiar verses that may elude to what many today consider the UFO phenomenon…

Luke 21…

The best way to understand the wickedness that we are dealing with is to go back to the basics of the Word of God. I say wickedness because there is really no other explanation for what is going on other than that it is a continuation of the wickedness of Satan and his cohorts. When Satan fell he caused a tear in the fabric of God’s creation. When he deceived Adam and Eve, he destroyed the perfect creation of God yet further.

The Bible indicates that Satan was indeed perfect, until he sinned (Ezekiel 28:13-17). Admittedly, this is indeed a great mystery, one in which we may never fully understand until we are caught up in glory and have all knowledge (I Corinthians 13:12).

The day that Satan caused his destruction to come to this earth God set forth a declaration of war against him and his army. Let’s look at it together…

A lot of people never catch the subtlety in verse fifteen. Satan has a seed. The word "seed" in this passage is "zera" and it is defined as, "offspring or descendants". It is always used of physical life, not a metaphor. If the Bible simply met that Satan would have followers of his ideals it would have used a different word.

We have another glimpse of this Great War declaration in the Book of Revelation.

While we do not have time to go into a detailed study of Revelation 12, the picture we are shown is that of a cosmic war that is taking place in the heavens and the spiritual realm. Satan has been going after the chosen of God for millennia and he will not stop until he is banished forever in the Lake of Fire.

We will now look at one of the ways Satan worked to attack the seed of the women with his own seed.

Genesis chapter six speaks very plainly of some very strange events going on in man’s early history. I understand that this subject is not without controversy, however, it is extremely important to understand in order to gain the proper perspective of what is going on today. This is especially true when looking at the UFO phenomenon.

I believe that without proper understanding of this passage, you run the risk of having a pretty large prophetic blind spot in your view of the End Times.

The term "the sons of God", or the "B’nai-Elohim", appears 5 times in the Old Testament, each time clearly referring to angels (Genesis 6:2, 6:4, Job 1:6, 2:1 and 38:7). It is never used of men, or chosen people of God. In the New Testament the term appears 6 times, each time referring to the lost being restored back to God’s children (John 1:2, Romans 8:14, 8:19, Philippians 2:15, I John 3:1 and 3:2). The New Testament "sons of God" is an entirely different wording so you cannot make it the same in the Old.

The strange events recorded in Genesis six were clearly understood by the ancient rabbinical sources as referring to fallen angels. References can be found from Septuagint translators, the Early Church Fathers, the Talmud, Josephus, the Scroll of Enoch and the Genesis Apocrypha (both of which were among the first of the Dead Sea Scrolls found).

The Sons of God were procreating weird hybrid offspring with human women known as the "Nephilim." These bizarre events are also echoed in the legends and myths of every ancient culture upon the earth: the ancient Greeks, the Egyptians, the Hindus, the South Sea Islanders, the American Indians, and virtually all the others.

It was in the 5th century A.D. that the "angel" interpretation of Genesis six was increasingly viewed as an embarrassment when attacked by critics and the Sethite view was born. This view teaches that the godly line of Seth became unfaithful to God, and began to marry the daughters of the ungodly line of Cain. I think that if this were the case, then the Holy Spirit would have said, "the sons of Seth and the daughters of Cain" in order to minimize the confusion. Also, Bibles uses the term "sons of men" when referring to mankind in the Old Testament.

While the early church writers, Celsus and Julian the Apostate, used the traditional "angel" belief to attack Christianity, Julius Africanus resorted to the Sethite interpretation as a more comfortable ground to view this passage of Scripture. Augustine also embraced the Sethite theory and thus it prevailed into the Middle Ages. Furthermore, the worship of angels had begun within the church and the "angel" view of Genesis six was feared as impacting these views. Once again we see man and his attempt to change what he doesn’t feel comfortable with in God’s holy Word.

A small clue to this whole story may lie in this verse from Genesis 6:9

"These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God."

The word for "generations" in this passage is actually two different words. The first time is the word, towldah {to-led-aw'}, which refers to lineage or descendants. The second word is dowr {dore}, which refers to periods of time, or those living during a period of time. The real key is the word "perfect" when referring to his generations. It is the Hebrew word, tamiym {taw-meem'} which means, "without blemish, perfect, upright, without spot, or complete". The emphasis of these three words is on the fact that he was genetically pure. Neither Noah, nor his family line, had participated in the events that were going on in those days. They were untainted by the sexual escapades of the sons of God.

Here are some very specific points to consider regarding the Genesis 6 interpretation and its opposing views. Let the Bible translate itself, and let logic, grammar and reason prevail over fear and emotion.

• Verse 1 refers to "men" in general and the daughters born unto them. There is no sub-set spoken of here. The Septuagint literally translates it "the daughters of Adam". No mention of Seth or Cain.
• Seth was not God and Cain was not Adam!
• The Sons of God are not the Old Testament version of John 1 & I John 3. That is simply just poor exegesis of Scripture.
• The Nephilim are literally called "the Fallen ones" in Hebrew. The Greek word is "Gigas", from which we get the English word giant. Now they happened to be large men, however the literal meaning of the word is, "Earth-Born".
• The Nephilim and their spawn are always male, i.e., "the mighty men of renown". No women of renown.
• No daughters of God are mentioned. Did Seth only have Y Chromosomes?
• There are no sub-sets of peoples mentioned prior to Genesis 11, not until after the Tower of Babel incident.
• If the Sethites were so godly, why did they perish in the flood? Only Enoch and Noah were counted as godly, thus they were spared. Some of Cain’s descendants were named after God (Gen.4:18), so his line had both godly and ungodly just as Seth’s did.

The Nephilim were the strange hybrids of the events of Genesis 6. Because of this particular wickedness it is apparent that the reason for the judgment by the Flood was needed.  In Genesis 6:4 we find the phrase, "...and also after that...." regarding the Nephilim. Apparently they were still around after the period before the Flood. 

The Scriptures reveal that there was a recurrence of those early events that resulted in giants appearing in the Old Testament. There were a number of tribes in the land of Canaan such as the Rephaim, the Emim, the Horim, the Anakim and the Zamsummim that are described as giants. Later, we find Goliath and his four brothers in I Samuel 17.

I borrowed this paragraph from Chuck Missler’s "Alien Encounters" pg.212-213 that sums it up pretty well…

"When God had revealed to Abraham that the land of Canaan was to be given to him, Satan then had over 400 years to plant his "mine field" of Nephilim in his attempt to thwart the plan of God.

This is one of the reasons why some conjecture that the UFO phenomena may be a contemporary manifestation of a recurrence of these same hybrids."

That leads us to the next subject in our study…

It is worth noting that the Bible gives us great clues regarding the conditions of the planet when Jesus returns.

• Jesus spoke of the days of Noah and how it would be similar when He came back…

• What do we know about the days of Noah? There was great violence and sexual immorality, yes. But there was also the strange events concerning the Sons of God, the daughters of men and the resulting Nephilim. We have no reason to believe that Jesus wasn’t referring to all aspects of Genesis six.
• Joel 2 and Revelation 9 are linked together and offer us a frightening picture of the demonic hoards being released upon the earth in during the Great Tribulation Hour…

Very strange creatures indeed. Also, Revelation 16 speaks of "froglike" devils that go out and bring all the kings of the earth together for the great battle of Armageddon. Compare froglike to the classic alien face from popular culture today.

As a strange side note, take a look at Daniel 2 for a moment. While Daniel is interpreting the dream of king Nebuchadnezzar he makes a rather strange insertion in the middle of verse 43…

Who will mingle with the seed of men? The text demands that the "they" here is someone or something other than the men themselves. Perhaps we have yet another clue of the Genesis 6 activities going on in the Last Days.

Praise God that we see the Lord returning when this happens.

With a basic understanding of the Biblical view of how celestial beings came down to earth in the past, it is safe to continue in our study of how they may be coming today.

It is not uncommon to find a vast amount of references to UFO’s in ancient history. Many ancient cultures have recorded stories and lore about flying discs and "Star-Beings" coming from them. Numerous murals, pictographs and hieroglyphs of objects from the sky coming down and their occupants interacting with mankind can be found in virtually all of the early cultures of the planet.

By the way, even races that lived supposedly hundreds of thousands of years ago have these images. So the lie of evolution can be closely intertwined with the visitors from space. We will look at this later as well.

• Sumerian Clay Tablets and Mesopotamian petroglyphs clearly depict flying discs and winged discs piloted by humanoid creatures. These ‘men’ are often shown within the discs or flying around them with wings upon their bodies.
• Assyrian mythology speaks of Ashur, the winged god of war. Ashur is believed to be an adaptation of the earlier flying god Ahura Mazda, who was the founding influence of the prophet Zoroaster in the 6^th century B.C. The legend of Ahura Mazda had already extended back at least a thousand years by the time of the Assyrian Empire.
• Egyptian Culture reveals much the same with icons such as Ra the sun god, and his descendant Horus, the son of Isis, who is usually depicted as flying on the winged disc of Ra. This description is found in a text discovered in the Temple of Edfu…

• Ancient China Rock carvings of round UFO-like objects have been found in China's Hunan province.  The depictions date back to age of the Neanderthals. Chinese culture also records on the Dropa, the name given to visitors from Sirius, who came down from the clouds with their air gliders. 
• UFO’s reportedly harassed Alexander the Great during his rise to world conquest. In 329 B.C. Alexander the Great recorded that two great silver shields, spitting fire around the rims in the sky, dived repeatedly at his army as they were attempting a river crossing.  The action so panicked his elephants, horses, and men that they had to abandon the river crossing until the following day.

• Similar records are found in virtually all cultures. From ancient Rome to the Peruvian and Inca empires. From Japan and India to the Norse gods of Norway and Scandinavian cultures. This is a global reality!

The common thread is that at some point in Earth’s early history some sort of flying crafts bearing powerful beings came down from the skies. This was mostly perceived as the gods coming down and interacting with mankind, however, the similarities to the modern day UFO Phenomenon is remarkable.

This idea blends perfectly with the strange events of Genesis chapter six. But could it still be occurring today? Let’s take a look at modern times…

While UFO’s and Alien Visitations have been reported sporadically down through history (plentifully if you know how/where to look however) the modern era of UFO sightings most likely began on June 24^th, 1947.

It was on this day in the Mt. Rainier region of Washington state that pilot Kenneth Arnold Reported that he witnessed nine peculiar lights traveling through the sky at 5,000 feet. Their speed was later estimated at about 1,600 MPH. This was some three times faster than any plane of that time.

It would be some two weeks later that the now famous "Roswell Incident" occurred. While there is much controversy surrounding the events at Roswell (I have my own view, supported by Scripture I believe; see my article titled, "From Roswell To Armageddon"), the fact remains that something significant happened there.

Keep in mind that over the last 50 plus years two presidents and six congressmen have still been unable to persuade the U.S. government to release the information on it! Former NASA Astronaut Ed Mitchell of Apollo 14 fame, told NBC’s Dateline in April 1996…

The end of 1947 would culminate with a reported 850 UFOs to the U.S. Government. It would not end there. Thousands more would prompt the U.S. Air Force to develop Project Bluebook, a super top-secret investigation of all the UFO reports given by citizens.

You may not be aware of some other quite significant UFO events that were reported in the modern media, albeit the reports came and went pretty fast…

• Washington D.C., July 1952: Seven unidentified flying craft buzzed over the U.S. capitol for 14 minutes. Numerous sightings occurred over a 2-week period with confirmed radar readings prompting military jets to lift off and investigate. Reports of bright moving lights, which were "rotating and giving off strange colors", were given by the pilots. In fact one pilot actually made full visual contact, but when he got close to the object it simply vanished!
• Mexico City, January 1^st, 1993: In what was perhaps the most vivid and best-documented UFO sighting in recorded history, some tens of thousands of people witnessed a silvery craft in the skies above the city. There is video of the event along with major freeways and roads backed up for miles as people stood outside their cars and watched the UFO. Television networks interrupted regular programming and radio shows opened the phone lines to callers describing the event. The American Media did not even report it!
• Israel, August-September 1996: One of the largest UFO flaps (a large group of sightings lasting a few days) ever seen was reported. Thousands of eyewitness reports came into authorities. Most significant was in the city of Eilat on August 4^th. According to some estimates more than a thousand people saw the same UFO traveling slowly across the city. One eyewitness said,

• Seoul Korea, November 23^rd, 1996: A large "cigar-shaped" UFO hovered over the city for approximately 10 minutes in the early morning hours. It was observed by thousands of commuters and videotaped by several. This particular sighting made the AP (Associated Press) and within minutes was broadcast on both CNN and Reuter’s news networks. The incident was very big news in Korea, but received only the above brief mention in the U.S. media.
• Phoenix Arizona, March 13^th, 1997: Thousands of people witnessed a triangular pattern of lights slowly cruise south over the city, and subsequent desert. Many people stated that they could see the outline of the whole object, while others could only see the lights that formed the triangle-shaped craft. The object was reportedly only 1,500 feet above the ground and estimated to be approximately 1 mile wide!

• Mexico City, March 5^th, 2004: Mexican Air Force Officials released footage from their jet fighters of 11 UFOs that were tracked by both radar and cockpit video for several minutes. Pilots using infrared equipment filmed the lights, which appeared to be flying at an altitude of about 3,500 meters (11,480 feet). The lights allegedly surrounded the Air Force jet as it conducted routine anti-drug trafficking vigilance in Campeche. For some reason only three of the objects showed up on the plane's radar.

Finally, I will just throw some stats and such which encompass the whole phenomenon…

• Over 6,000 professional UFO publications have been written on the subject, including 2,200 foreign and over 1,300 domestic periodicals.
• UFO’s have been plotted on multiple radars, many cases prompting Air Force jets being scrambled. Many have been filmed close up from the jets before they disappear.
• Multiple competent witnesses have confirmed UFO’s, including scientists, astronauts, military and astronomers.
• Many UFOs leave tangible evidence, i.e., radiation readings, scorched ground, dead and/or crushed vegetation, etc. Many people who have had contact with UFO’s and their occupants experience physical reactions such as weakness, paralysis, radiation sickness, etc.
• Many UFO’s witnessed with the naked eye cannot be photographed, or do not show up on film/video.
• Electrical disturbances, such as lights turning off, car batteries dying and cameras, computers, etc., malfunctioning are often associated with UFOs.
• UFO’s have been clocked at speeds exceeding 6,000 mph without any type of sonic booms! (This alone should scare you!)
• UFO’s have been seen doing hard right-angle turns at speeds of up to 16,000 mph. This implies that they are free from mass and exceed the very boundaries of physics as we know it!
• In addition, UFO’s are seen materializing and dematerializing at will. They have been witnessed entering into the ground and water at extremely high velocity, and exiting nearby as well. Again, this implies that they are free from mass! Again providing ample evidence that these manifestations are inter-dimensional, not interplanetary in nature (Remember Ephesians 6).

Finally, they have been polls that reveal…

• Some 57% of Americans believe in UFOS.
• According to ABC News as of Feb.24, 2005, 40 million Americans believe they have actually seen a UFO.
• 1 in 5 Americans believe in the abduction aspect of UFO’s.
• 72% believe they have either been abducted or contacted!

As we move on, consider this news article that was ran on CNN on August 22, 1996. This was after President Bill Clinton had made the press announcement with NASA about possible life on Mars, stemming from the bacterial evidence on rock samples from space.

Quoting Gary Kah’s book, "The New World Religion", page 275…

Like I said before, you may put these things up on the "kooks and nuts" shelf, but people that have major influence in the world governments today take this very seriously.

The final and perhaps most shocking aspect of the UFO phenomenon is the abductions that are reported. Apart from the visual sightings of UFOs, the real core of the issue comes down to the abduction phenomenon.

First, a distinction must be made between abductee and contactee.

1. Abductee: One who is taken against his or her will and subjected to all manner of experiments and the like.
2. Contactee: One who, when contacted by the entities, willingly goes with them. Once on board however, they may or may not agree to the experiments, yet it seems as though they are still forced to undergo them.

There are many views on the validity of abductions and the reports given by those who claim to have been abducted. After careful study of the issues and the details associated with abductions two things become very clear.

1. Something is happening to these individuals. Whether it is an actual removal of the person from this dimension and into the spiritual realm, or simply a very advanced, and very clever, intrusion into the mind and psyche, or simply a spiritual attack; the fact remains that something very profound is happening to these people.
2. A consistent and very specific message is given in almost every case. The message is given by telepathy, by object lessons, by advanced "computer-like" visual presentations. The message is always anti-Gospel and anti-Christian in its entirety.

I agree that this is an area most difficult to talk about, but it really the most important. Man simply does not want to believe in this intrusion of privacy. Professor John Mack in his forward to the book, "Secret Life" by David Jacobs, had this to say…

Indeed there are many crackpots who make claims of being abducted and lack sufficient proof, however, there are thousands of cases on record that not only provide proof, they often defy any rational explanation. For our purposes here I will site just a couple of well-documented cases in order to get the flavor of the phenomenon.

• Gallipoli, Turkey, August 21^st, 1915: In WWII, during the morning hours, and some of the most severe fighting of the war, this report of the incident on Hill 60 in Suvla Bay took place. Keep in mind that this is a well-documented case in the Turkish and British Military Archives.

• Brazil, October 15, 1957: The first fully detailed recorded incident of a UFO abduction in the modern age happened to the 23 year old Brazilian farmer. It also stands as a well documented "physical" case with doctors examining the effects after his encounters.

• Turkey Springs Arizona, November 5, 1975: Seven men witnessed a craft hovering silently between tall pines in the Apache-Sitgreaves National forest of northeastern Arizona. One of those men, Travis Walton, became an unwilling captive of an alien race when the other men fled in fear.

There are thousands of documented cases of abductions by UFOs in many different countries. Sexual acts are often associated with these reports, both welcomed and forced. Perhaps most frightening are the reports of abductions where the individuals involved are never seen or heard from again. I.D.E. Thomas in his book titled, "The Omega Conspiracy" touches on the subject of many people who have never been seen again after being abducted by UFO’s.

Suffice it to say, the abduction aspect that is associated with the UFO phenomenon is the most fascinating, and as I mentioned before, the most telling reason why we can rest assure that it is demonic in nature. We will cover the actual message and expose it for what it is in a few moments. However, first we must discover the origins behind it and more importantly, the reasons why it is occurring today.

A. Always Anti-Christian

As we come to our final section in the UFO Phenomenon I would encourage you to pay close attention now. As with any doctrine or new fad, the central message is the key to whether or not it is of God. The UFO Phenomenon is without exception.

• Remember our proof text for this entire study…

• In addition to Jesus’ words concerning false Christs and false prophets, the Apostle Paul also warned us about those who would come and preach another Gospel.

• Note how Paul agrees that even angels can bear false witness. Of course we know he is speaking of fallen angels.
• People abducted or contacted by aliens are always given messages that are contrary to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

In fact, often times it seems that the whole purpose of an encounter is to do just that. Many report the same message so I will put it in one easy conglomeration here…

This is pretty much how the message usually goes. Individuals always experience a downplaying of personal sin and the need for salvation and a propagation of New Age ideals is offered instead.

In fact, salvation seems to be a big issue with our "alien visitors". They seem to really have a problem admitting that man needs salvation. This should immediately red flag them as workers of Satan.

Question: Why would a seemingly advanced race of alien beings travel perhaps millions, even billions, of light years to our little planet just to discredit the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

Just like Paul’s words in I Thessalonians 5, the world is increasingly crying out for peace and safety in these last days. Likewise, the Apostle Peter’s words in II Peter 3 stand in contrast to the theory of evolution permeating our great minds today as well.

Would it surprise you to find that the consistent message given by the aliens encompasses both of these issues?

• The aliens seem to have a specific agenda of pushing evolution as the origin of life.
• The either…

• DNA and cloning has become a rather new angle to the alien agenda. Much is disclosed to contactees about the evolution of our DNA and the science of cloning.

I find this particularly fascinating, since man is slowly moving in this direction. I do happen to believe that DNA and cloning will have a big place in the Tribulation.

On page 224 of "The Day After Roswell" by Col. Philip J. Corso, a brief reference to this can be found. Col. Corso was in charge of the supposed artifacts recovered from the Roswell crash, including the dead aliens. He subsequently went to his grave never recanting his story of what he saw and did with the Roswell evidence.

Remember, this was from the 50’s…

A seed was planted very early on regarding cloning and scientific creation life. This is quite disconcerting really.

• Alien messages often speak of the grave condition of earth and it’s need for peace. The Pleidians of Ashtar Command for example, say that they destroyed their universe with nuclear power and now they are concerned since we have discovered the atom.
• Many are told that the "space brothers" are here in an effort to keep our planet from being destroyed.
• The aliens do seem to have technology far more advanced that man and abductees are routinely shown holographic images of nuclear destruction and such.
• There seems to be a strong desire to secure world peace from their messages.
• Many alien messages allude to a revealing of one who will lead the world to peace. Since we know that they do not believe Jesus Christ is the only way to peace, then we can assume that they are referring to the "one" we know as the Antichrist.

We should look at II Thessalonians 2 briefly in order to understand the coming world leader…

The One that is coming will operate in the power of Satan. Note that he will have ALL power, signs and lying wonders and ALL unrighteous deception.

One might ask the question: If UFO’s are real, how come they seem so elusive? Why are the videos and pictures always so blurry? I believe that verse seven may offer us a clue here.

The fullest extent of Satan’s power is being restrained today. No one has experienced full-scale demonic visitation since at least the time of Christ. This explains why a lot of supernatural stuff is often elusive. The Bible says we see through a glass dimly, this probably extends to the dark side of the spiritual world too.

When will this unveiling of evil happen? After the Rapture of the Church, or the true believer’s in Jesus Christ are removed from the danger of the Day of the LORD.

It is not my intent to discuss the theology involved in the Rapture. Whether you believe in the Rapture of not, it doesn’t really matter but I will offer this to you…Satan does know the Scriptures and he appears to believe in it just fine. Let me explain.

One of the most fascinating aspects of the UFO Phenomenon is the fact that aliens appear to be able to remove people from the planet. On one level this would appear to be a conditioning of some kind. Think about it. How often do we hear things like, "Beam me up Scotty" and stories about abductions, etc. The idea of a removal of people from one place to another has been very subtly planted in our modern minds.

Many credible people (I and say credible in the sense that the world follows after them) maintain that a time is coming when a mass removal of souls from the planet is coming. Many say that it is very soon too.

But do not be deceived friends, blatant occultism, such as the practices of Witchcraft and the black arts have also gained momentum in the last century. New Age channeling and the UFO cults are taken very seriously these days. You may scoff at them, but make no mistake Church; they are no longer scoffing at you. In fact, they are becoming very indignant towards Christianity and many teach that once the ‘intolerance’ is removed then can then live in peace.

What intolerance are they referring to? Friends they are speaking about us; the Church, the moral influence and the salt of the earth! They cannot wait for us to be taken out of here so they can enjoy life free of moral bounds.

You see we believe in ONE GOD. They believe that in addition to many gods, they are also god. We are in their way of achieving godhood and I find it fascinating that, through channeling of the "Ascended Masters" or the "Pleidians", the common theme is that we are going to be removed before they fully manifest themselves.

Never say that Satan doesn’t know Scripture. He fully knows that the Rapture is what will happen in order for him to carry out his plan. Remember that the "demons tremble-and believe" as well. They are very busy these days in preparing the world for the soon and coming event called the Rapture. There are actually four prevailing views of the world and where it is going, with the removal a mass amounts of ‘people’ (Christians) just prior to it happening being a very prevalent theme.

Here are the four basic views. I will expand on a couple of them in a bit.

• The Evolution theory of Punctuated Equilibrium. This view came about because no inter-species fossils have ever been found. They now believe that evolution occurs instantaneously. In the twinkling of an eye perhaps. They are teaching that mankind is about to make its next leap in species and it is to deity this time.
• The New Age Movement teaches that mankind is about to become gods. They are actively receiving information through channeling the Ascended Masters that this step up to deity is about to occur with their help. Millions of those who are not ready for godhood will be taken to the karma plain for ‘re-education’ about the pantheistic nature of the universe.
• The UFO cults are all teaching that the ‘good ‘ aliens are trying to help us, because they created us of course, and that the ‘bad’ aliens are going around abducting our people in order to crossbreed and make a slave race. They avidly claim that millions of ‘people’ are going to disappear soon, presumably by the evil ones, and that then they will reveal themselves to mankind to protect them from further ‘mass abductions’.
• Finally (and perhaps the saddest of them all) the religious view of the Carnal Christians. There is a small minority of ‘Christians’ that teach that God is going to take all the carnal, or sinful Christians away for judgment, and that they will be left behind to usher in Jesus’ earthly kingdom.

The common theme here folks, is that Satan and his minions are systematically conditioning the world for the mass disappearance of people from the earth. These are not whackos, as you would think at first glance, but just very deceived individuals. Many of the people teaching this stuff are high profile celebrities and government officials, as well as scientists and prominent religious figures. Some have even come right out and stated that Satan is their teacher. The Luciferian Society for instance, and the Theosophy cults and such, openly proclaim that the World Teacher (the Antichrist) will soon come and he will remove all the Christians and Jews one way or another.

Let me share a few quotes from these people. Remember these are not just nuts, these people are influencing millions worldwide and as you will see, the governments of the world are also being drawn into the teachings as well. I love quotes, don’t you? I mean, what a great tool to show what the views of other groups really are, by showing you exactly what they are saying.

Barbara Marciniak is a very famous New Age author and channeler. In her book she documents what she claims extraterrestrials from the star system of the Pleiades have told her. In her book, Bringers of the Dawn: Teachings from the Pleidians, she mentions the removal of a great number of souls,

And this one…

Here’s an interesting one by New Age author Kay Wheeler. At least she is not mad at us for believing in one God…

I really like this one by Channeler Thelma Terrell, who goes by her spiritual name, "Tuella," in her book called Project World Evacuation. They are messages channeled from a being who calls himself Ashtar, the leader of an alien confederation.

"Our rescue ships will be able to come in close enough in the twinkling of an eye to set the lifting beams in operation in a moment. And all over the globe where events warrant it, this will be the method of evacuation. Mankind will be lifted, levitated shall we say, by the beams from our smaller ships. These smaller craft will in turn taxi the persons to the larger ships overhead, higher in the atmosphere, where there is ample space and quarters and supplies for millions of people."

She is so deluded with the belief that all is god and all will be spared from the dangers of Mother Earth, that the demon goes on to cover what happens when everyone is left behind…

"Much of this is necessary. Many of these beings [the Christians] have appointments to leave at this time. Earth's population needs to be decreased to bring forth the necessary changes upon this planet to move into the fourth dimension."

Other channelers teach that those who are ‘left behind’, have been chosen to teach the rest of mankind how to take that final evolutionary step to deity. Many people are awaiting the inevitable contact with an alien race. Of course we as believers in Christ now know fully well that any extraterrestrial contact will be by demons.

A. Jesus Died Once For All!

One common response to the UFO Phenomenon from Christians is the issue of Christs’ death on the cross. The question arises, "If there is life on other planets, did Jesus die for them too?" The answer, in my opinion, is a resounding "NO!"

The Bible is the record of man’s fall and his subsequent need for salvation. Jesus Christ came to die for fallen man and fallen man only. He did not go and die for all the planets or God would have said so.

It is of great importance to note those doctrines that seek to negate the sin of man and the need for a savior. The Apostle John warned us of those who will deny that Jesus Christ is God and the only way. All who oppose this basic truth are living a lie and are of the spirit of antichrist. The supposed alien visitors deny Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, thus they are categorically opposed to God.

It is not hard to see that the whole world has gone after the pursuit of anything other than acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Whether or not the alien contact scenario will be the great lie spoken of in II Thessalonians 2, we have no way of knowing with absolute certainty. After studying certain trends in the UFO Phenomenon my suspicion is that it probably will be.

It is imperative that you know what the worldview is these days. In order to more effectively reach the lost, we must know how to meet them where they are. Many perishing souls are being deceived by New Age ideology and UFO religious fervor. No wonder that in I TIMOTHY 4:1 it says this…

It is my firm belief that the UFO Phenomenon will increase as more prophecy comes to pass. Let us not forget the warnings of Jesus about false Christs and deceiving signs and wonders in the days before His return.

Finally, let us revisit Ephesians 6 as we conclude our study. While we should now have a great understanding of the powers and principalities that are at work against us, we would be remiss to not look at the way to combat them as a child of God.

It is easy to relegate people into the kook and cracked pot category. I would offer to you that before you do that, remember that we are all cracked pots. Is it not true that all of us are cracked or broken vessels created by God? He is the potter and we are the clay. We have all been marred and broken and we are all in need of His mercy and grace. Bear that in mind when you come across people who are deceived by our adversary the Devil.
