I really didn’t want to write this article, but here I am writing it. Let me explain.
Over the last few years discussion about aliens, meaning extra-terrestrial beings that are active in our world with a potential invasion or disclosure, has been increasing. This hasn’t only been on the fringe of media, but more and more in the mainstream.
Just the other day, there was social media report on an alleged meeting concerning a government official and certain pastors in Tennessee. The alleged purpose of the meeting was for pastors to warn their congregations about a coming disclosure of alien activity, which would shake the faith of the unprepared.
When I heard about this meeting, I thought about writing this article, but held off. A couple days later I was reminded of a movie coming out this summer called “Disclosure Day” and read a headline from fox news concerning this subject.
What was the headline?
“Trump Administration Releases Highly Anticipated Files Documenting UFO’s, ‘Extraterrestrial Life’”
This is in addition to FBI director Kash Patel stating the FBI is working with the president to bring clarity to these topics.
It was then I knew I had to write this article.
Christians ought to know if there anything to alien disclosure that is true from a natural or biblical perspective
What are aliens, if they exist, and most importantly what does the Bible have to say?
Christians are not only to have answers to these questions (from the context of God’s word), but also to use that understanding to assist others in holding to the truth, in the age of deception we are living in.
I do not believe in extraterrestrial beings from other planets., nor does the word of God give any indication of that falsehood. Many Christians will conjecture, but if the Bible is our infallible rule of faith and conduct–if it is truly God’s breathed (II Timothy 3:15)—if it is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness (II Timothy 3:16-17); then we must agree extraterrestrial aliens are not part of God’s revealed truth.
God has not concerned us with little green or grey men from Mars, or reptilian people from other planets. The focus of God’s word is His redemption of human beings on the earth, through His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ.
This is very important, for if God wanted us to know of alien races and far away galaxies, He would have put it in His word.
Human culture, from the fall and alienated from God by sin, has attempted to wash out the truth of God’s love for humanity, which bears His image. Through religion, science falsely so-called (I Timothy 6:20), and popular forms of entertainment over the millennia, Satan has created a narrative, that diminishes humanity, as the crown of God’s creation.
Satan has tempted man to worship the creature rather than the Creator (Romans 1:18-25), through science fiction, false religion, witchcraft, and the occult. All of these forms point to the stars, or interdimensional beings, as humanity’s progenitors.
From the “War of the Worlds” radio broadcast in 1938, the world has been hooked on alien encounters and science fiction religion. Over the last 50 years entertainment culture has been preaching an alien invasion and super enhanced saviors to protect the world.
The world’s of science and religion are looking to the stars for someone other than God, to save them, rather than simply looking to the Creator for mercy (Romans 1:18-31).
The preaching of an alien invasion, which brings hostile or kind extraterrestrials has formed a collective consciousness, believing something big is and terrible is coming from the stars.
This is part of a satanic delusion, to turn the world against the Lord Jesus Christ.
Depsite the lies, let me be clear, there is an alien invasion coming. Christians, who are referred to as “pilgrims” in I Peter 2:11, which means “alien alongside” in the Greek, will come with Christ, from heaven to invade this world in Revelation 19:11-16. This is of course after the gathering of the saints to Christ (the rapture) and the marriage supper of the Lamb (I Corinthians 15:50-57; I Thessalonians 4:13-18, 5:9)
Interestingly, this true “alien invasion” with Christ our King leading, is referred to in Revelation 6 and 19, and the world of rebellious men know Who is coming.
Revelation 6:15-17 15And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
Christ’s second coming is the only alien invasion that is on the horizen. Any other disclosure fits into the coming end times deception, which the scriptures clearly reveal.
Matthew 24:23-25 24For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.
Luke 21:25-28 25“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Given this information, it is possible that part of the end times deception, which would deceive the elect if possible, is an extraterrestrial disclosure. Recently, those who push the extraterrestrial disclosure are changing their narrative because of a lack of evidence in the stars.
Many government officials are not saying that aliens are non-human entities or interdimensional beings. This is a wise turn, albeit still not true. What does the Bible declare?
Biblically, there is plant life, animal life, human life, created nonhuman life, and abomination life.
Plant life, animal life, and human life belong to the material world, inside of time. It is necessary to understand that human life does belong, in time and eternally, in the realm of the non-material as well, having a spirit, soul and body (I Thessalonians 5:23).
Created non-human life is primarily non-corporeal, or not normally visible in the material realm. This category of creation includes angels, both righteous and fallen (Colossians 1:15-18; Hebrews 1), and the living creatures around the throne of God, defined as Seraphim and Cherubim (Isaiah 6:1-8).
We understand that Christ is the one who created all these creatures and has dominion over all of them (Colossians 1:15-18). In the case of angels, although non-corporeal, they can manifest in physical form, when God’s will requires it (Genesis 18-19; II Kings 6:15-17; Daniel 8:16, 9:20).
As to the fallen angels, we understand they are allowed to operate under the satanic system, subject to God’s soveriegnty and will, and are deceptive and malicious, but they are not demons.
Fallen angels are not demons, but do come from fallen angels, as is explained in Genesis 6.
Genesis 6:1-2 1Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.
Genesis 6:4 4There were giants (nphil) on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
Demons are the disembodied spirits of the offspring of human women and fallen angels, referred to as the sons of God, in Genesis 6. Demons are what I referred to as “abomination life”. God killed these “giants” or “nphil”, in the flood, yet their disembodied spirits wander the earth, until final judgment, parasiting on humans who let them in (Matthew 12:43-45).
As Christians, we understand that our warfare are against these non-human created beings and abomination life, who rebel against our Father. Satan has kept God’s organization intact for the purpose of undermining God’s redemption through Christ (Ephesians 6:10-18).
Satan and his angels can be disguised as good angels and therefore can lead people away from God (II Corinthians 11:12-15).
Consider the man Jesus healed at the pool of Bethesda. This pool had nothing to do with God, His word, or His way of healing. Remember that He is the LORD that heals, from Exodus 15:26 and Psalm 103: 1-4. The point is that God does not use any angel or thing when He heals, in Hisa word, it is all of Him.
The pool of Bethesda was a holdover from the Greek system of god’s and worship, which watered down Jewish faith. This pool was an Asklepion, a shrine to Asclepius, a man who is the father of ancient and modern medicine. He received his knowledge when a serpent whispered medical knowledge is his ear.
The point is that this idea of an angel stirring the water, fooled even the Jews into believing this was an ok process, and led to them trusting in false gods. This practice continues to this day in India, at the Ganges River, where the lame and sinful bath in the polluted waters of this river, hoping the angel will heal them and wash away their sin. This while they pour money into the waters like a wishing well.
My point is that end times deception is real, and whether its little green/grey men, lizard people, interdimensional beings, or “angels of light” that aren’t, they are delusions meant to fool the world and cause apostacy in the saints.
Let’s focus on one of our previous passages to understand how to avoid deception.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
In the first place, we understand that those who do not receive the love of the truth, are able to be deceived. This simply means that saying we believe the truth means nothing unless we are hopefully devoted to living in it and following it, even when everything is against it and us.
Yes, this deals with God’s written word, but also the Person of Christ, who is to be leading, discerning, empowering, and keeping us, as He is King in and through our lives. Those who are surface Christians, are at risk of God sending delusion that they would believe the lie.
What is the lie?
The lie has been written of in one other place in the New Testament, in Romans 1.
Romans 1:24-25 24Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
The lie is Satan’s concoction that God is malicious, unloving, unfaithful, unconcerned, and a liar. It attempts to undermine God as the Creator, Sustainer, and Savior of mankind. The lie tells humans to worship other created beings, rather than the Creator.
All of the alien stuff is an effort to paint God as unnecessary, useless, and a non-factor. The lie uses this to inject doubt about what the Bible declares concerning humanity… That God loves us and through Christ will declare His love and power to the rest of creation for all eternity (Ephesians 2:6-10, 3:1-13).
If you ever meet an alien, command Him to leave in Jesus name, and guess what, it’ll disappear.
There is an invasion from heaven on the way and we, following our King, will have a front row seat.
